Chapter 14 Asking for Emptiness in the Painting
Back at the place where he lived, Yan Zixiu was ready to comb through the list of treasures.
"List of treasures!"

"Oops, Moonstone forgot home." Yan Zixiu said.
"Isn't that on the table?" Sure enough, the Moon Stone appeared on the desk.
"Don't worry, can you still transcend the distance of time and space?"
"What comes out of the Immortal Mansion can be taken back at any time. It's just a matter of whether to collect it or not. ”
"No wonder you're not afraid of your bike being stolen."
"It's not about recycling bikes, it's about people who steal bikes and they're going to be very uncomfortable and have to give them back. So don't be afraid to steal. ”
"I see. Magical. So why is the sterilized gauze gone? ”
"Disinfectant gauze is a temporary emergency. In reality, it is everywhere and is not enough to call it a treasure. ”
"Oh, that's right." Looking at the list in the first line, Yan Zixiu said, "I'll learn the Heart Sutra today, and I'm going to the Executive Office tomorrow, where there may be many big leaders I don't know." Mencius said, "If you say that the adults will despise them, do not be afraid of them." But if you're in an unstable mood, you can't despise it. Maybe the Heart Sutra will help. ”
Worry-free agreed.
Yan Zixiu washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then sat down at the desk, calm. In fact, no one taught him, he himself felt that it should be like this.
The mind points to the first line of the treasure list: Heart Sutra!
A square glazed wall appeared in front of me, like watching a movie, much clearer than a movie, and it was not dazzling at all. The first picture is the full text of the Heart Sutra written vertically, which Yan Zixiu is very familiar with. After he saw the Heart Sutra from the book "Journey to the West", he memorized the whole text. Why? Because there is a sentence in it: It can remove all suffering, and it is true. This sentence touched Yan Zixiu, who was suffering from illness, don't care if it's true or not, I'll talk about it after reciting it. He has been clumsy since he was a child, but he has a talent for endorsement. There are 260 words in the scriptures, and I memorize them word for word.
After the passage has passed, a painting appears, like a freehand landscape work:
In the clouds and mist in the distance, the mountains are stacked, and the middle mountain peaks surround a temple, the ancient trees are forested, and the flowing water is murmuring. Not far from the monastery, there is a high platform. There is a large tree on the high platform, and the canopy is like a canopy. There is a stone table under the big tree, and a circle of people sits, as if they are drinking tea and chatting. Next to the screen: Moonlight Q&A.
Yan Zixiu felt that this scene was a little familiar, and as soon as his heart moved, he immediately entered the picture and appeared near the stone table. I saw that the wind and the sun were beautiful in the sky, the colorful clouds were fluttering, the green pines and cypresses were everywhere, and the green grass was everywhere. There were five stone piers next to the stone table under the tree, and four people were seated. In the middle is a middle-aged monk with long eyebrows and wide eyes, a solemn appearance, and a clear light. The three young monks next to him, wearing gray monk's robes, have a good appearance and a clean and elegant temperament. Yan Zixiu felt as if he had seen these people somewhere, and he couldn't remember them for a while.
The middle-aged monk naturally said, "Zixiu, are you here?" The other three nodded in friendliness.
"You, you know me?" Yan Zixiu was a little surprised in his heart, and nodded back.
"I've seen it a few times before. Come, sit down. The middle-aged monk smiled, "Do you think this is familiar?" ”
"yes, but I've never been here. But it seems like I've been here several times. Sitting down closely, Yan Zixiu felt a little conflicted.
"These, leave it alone for now." The middle-aged monk motioned to pour tea for Yan Zixiu, and Yan Zixiu hurriedly thanked him. The middle-aged monk got straight to the point, "What questions do you have about the Heart Sutra?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Well, it seems like a lot of questions. I'm new to these and I don't know what many words mean. However, what I want to ask most is, what does the emptiness of the aggregates mean? Yan Zixiu wanted to seize the opportunity to ask the most important thing.
"To put it simply, emptiness is like clouds and shadows, and the void is not real." The middle-aged monk pointed to the clouds in the sky, and then to the shadows of the trees on the ground, and said slowly but clearly.
"Like clouds." Yan Zixiu looked at the clouds, and then at the shadow of the tree, "Like a shadow." It seems that it is a little ungraspable, can't stay, can only be watched, and can't be captured. ”
The middle-aged monk nodded.
"Like clouds and shadows, virtual but not real. It's a little bit of a feeling. I asked a few people, and they all said "empty", but there was nothing. I thought it was scary. ”
"That's a misinterpretation, taking emptiness as an extinction. into the extreme. ”
"Oh, I see. It's not like nothing. So what is the other extreme? ”
"At the other extreme, it's like thinking that everything is real and unchanging."
Real and unchanging? How can I be? The world is material, matter is in motion, and movement is development. When he was in high school, Yan Zixiu memorized it very well, and then asked: "That's neither nothing, nor is it real and unchanging, empty, what is it?" ”
"Fiction but not reality, flow and change."
"Like clouds and shadows, virtual but not real, flowing and changing." Yan Zixiu pondered these words repeatedly, although he couldn't understand them thoroughly for a while, he also felt that his body and mind gradually felt a sense of relaxation. He picked up the blue porcelain teacup in front of him, only to feel a burst of fragrance pleasant, and then look at the teacup, there is a pattern of plum blossoms and snow, and there are two lines of words: "Without a cold bone, how can the plum blossoms be fragrant." He was stunned, wondering if this was reminding me not to be superficial and sloppy in learning, but to start practical work?
He took a sip of tea slowly, only to feel that his mouth and nose were fragrant, refreshing inside and out, and his brain was very clear. Whether it is thinking or intuition, it has been upgraded several grades, and I have a deeper understanding of "like clouds and shadows, virtual but not real, and rheological and uninhabitable".
"Good tea!" Yan Zixiu couldn't help but praise, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"Enlightenment tea."
"Enlightenment tea?" Yan Zixiu heard about it for the first time. But I didn't think much about it, put down the teacup and continued to ask, "This is virtual but not real, and the flow is not living, what is the guiding significance?" ”
What is the value of an idea if it is not a guide for life and growth?
"Of course there is. The first is to give you a break and relaxation, which you've already experienced, right? ”
Yan Zixiu nodded yes.
"The second is to give you hope. Fiction but not reality, flow and change, shows that everything can be changed, everything is changing. Therefore, it is possible for patients to recover, poverty to become rich, and stupidity to become intelligent. This also means that the future has infinite possibilities. ”
Yan Zixiu listened to these words, and only felt that his heart was open, and for a while, it seemed that the sky and the earth were bright, and a golden avenue seemed to appear in front of him. I couldn't help but thank: "It turns out that I still think that emptiness is negative and gloomy, but it turns out that emptiness gives people hope and strength so much. Thank you so much. ”
The middle-aged monk smiled and nodded silently and accepted Yan Zixiu's thanks: "The wise man is empty and enters virtue, and the fool is empty and wastes goodness." I believe you will not fail this encounter. There are still many people in the world who need your help, and I will not keep you. I'll give you another gift. A young monk next to him handed over two white jade boxes, and the lids of the boxes opened automatically: one inside was a miniature tree, and the other inside was a miniature grass seed, both wrapped in a ball of clear light, slowly rotating, looking very cute.
The middle-aged monk said: "This is the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and this is the Ningshen Grass." You can put them to good use. ”
Yan Zixiu thanked again and got up to say goodbye.
The four monks also got up, the middle-aged monk shook his sleeves, Yan Zixiu felt a trance, and found that he was still sitting in front of the desk in the living room, and there were two jade boxes quietly placed on the table.
Looking back on what happened just now, Yan Zixiu felt that it was worth the trip, and he benefited a lot both physically and mentally, but he didn't know who he could share it with. He thought again, the landscape painting is marked next to the moonlight Q&A, is the middle-aged monk's name moonlight? Sent my two babies, I don't know what the details are for. So I took a look at the list of treasures and found that there were several columns that had changed:
[Spirit Plantation Garden]: Water Spirit Pear ×∞, Water Spirit Peach Tree × 1, Fire Spirit Jujube Tree × 1, Fire Spirit Apple Tree × 1, Enlightenment Tea Tree × 1, Ningshen Grass Seed × 1
【Xiangji Zhai】Flavor Enhancement Spiritual Liquid ×1, Enlightenment Tea ×1
【Dyeing Fragrance Valley】Ningshen incense ×1
Take a closer look at the instructions, oh, it turns out that Ningshen grass can make Ningshen incense, and Wudao tea trees can make Wudao tea. Interestingly, it's all for the gods. One can be used during the day to improve the level of thinking and intuition, and improve the efficiency of work and study; One that can be used at night, so that people who don't sleep well can have a good dream.
He thought these two things were too good. If scientists in key positions use Wudao tea, this science and technology must not take a big leap? Ningshen tea is also a good thing, people who are tormented by sleep disorders like themselves, but they are saved. If this tea tree and Ningshen grass are widely planted, how many ordinary people can make a fortune. It's a good thing to think about it, I will go to see Uncle Wu tomorrow, and there will be good news again.
He got up and put the jade box into the green area of the Qiankun Ring and went to bed.
