Chapter 230: The Gentleness of the Zen Heart
Yanyu Shenzhou, Shouyang
The lanterns are colorful, the fire trees and silver flowers, the crowds are surging, the Sanskrit sound can be seen everywhere, the Zen resonance, the crowd of people coming and going is bustling, the traffic is busy, and the river is endlessly forming a bustling scene.
Even the lowest class of the people have changed into new clothes, the street stalls are dense, the alder trees are neatly arranged on both sides of the avenue, and Buddha images, lamp offerings, and sesame oil can be seen everywhere. The white pagoda, the bells, even the most proud monks walking here will feel a detached Zen smell, which is really eye-opening.
At this time, it coincides with the Buddha Bathing Festival, the biggest festival of the Zen family.
Chen Mo hugged Nianyou, and Zhongli Samadhi came to Shouyang to feel the joy of the festival of the Dazhong Dynasty. In the past few months, Zhongli Samadhi has been helping him train the Samadhi Legion, and he has not had time to do anything about casting star martial arts, and Chen Mo himself is also busy with various things such as Shenwu Ju, the four sects wiping swords, etc., and the two of them have no time to get along.
Nian Yu is even more lonely.
This time, taking advantage of the rare festival, Chen Mo also took the two of them to relax together. It's just that it seems that the two of them don't seem to be so enthusiastic about the heavy Buddha bathing festival.
Xiao Nianyou looked very curious and scared, hugged his neck, and his big bright eyes were a little resistant to the crowd of people, I remember the first time I saw Nianyou hiding alone under the grass canopy, her personality is like this, so forget it, Zhongli Samadhi is also a lack of interest made Chen Mo a little shocked.
"Samadhi, is this Buddha bathing festival so boring?" Chen Mo said helplessly.
"Do you think this should be a pleasant surprise?" the Ember King sneered at reminding the old lady that she had never seen anything in the last thousand years.
Not to mention any festival in the remote star field, it is the 'Yulan Society' of the Buddhism in the Inner Star Domain, the 'Ziyue' of Confucianism, and so on, and she has personally participated in the real grand festivals of the hundreds of famous families, not to mention the super prosperous 'Douxing List' united by the three thousand star fields. The scene in front of him was really quite shabby for Zhongli Samadhi, to be honest.
There won't be a single star.
Chen Mo was speechless.
"Okay, this king knows your heart, little man. Zhongli Samadhi smiled. "This king will feel it. β
"Then we ......"
Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Zhongli Samadhi interrupted him: "This king will go for a spin first, after all, it is also a festival in this star field, see if you can find a star general to play." "In the end, he is a military general, and he is only interested in other star generals by nature.
Zhongli Samadhi's figure quickly disappeared into the sea of people.
"Brother, people will accompany you. Xiao Nianyou grabbed Chen Mo's shirt and said.
"It's better to miss you. Chen Mo touched her soft face.
As Zhongli Samadhi said, festivals are boring for monks without the participation of other monks, and the excitement of the world only adds to the annoyance of monks and star generals who are beginning to step into the path of cultivation.
However, Chen Mo still played with Nianyou, fishing for goldfish, buying candy, flying kites, and doing all the strange things that Shu Xiao did.
Passing by a stall, Chen Mo saw a stall full of jade pendants, and one of the small jade pendants in the shape of a lotus flower attracted Xiao Nianyou's attention. The jade pendant is beautiful, like a lotus flower, it is not stained out of the mud, and it has a special star power fluctuation when it is opened by the Buddha, Chen Mo immediately had the idea of buying it and giving it to Nian You.
The booth is a Zen old man.
This jade pendant is not sold for money, but looking for someone who is destined.
"I want this piece. Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears.
Chen Mo heard this voice and looked sideways.
A young man in Zen clothes and a girl also approached the booth, the young man's face was like an ancient well, he was young, and his gestures were more extraordinary than the elders' stability, and the girl's demeanor in the cardamom years was flying and domineering, and there was also a bit of arrogance and recklessness that did not belong to her age.
Chen Mo knew these two people.
Fang Xi, the son of the one-year-old Gong Fang Kurong.
The other is Cui Wumeng, the daughter of the impermanence father.
The status of the three princes and nine kings of the Dazhong Dynasty is noble, but they are not often contacted, and Chen Mo was a little surprised to see the two princes walking together, especially Cui Wumeng, who is evil and rampant, how could he come to participate in the Buddha Bathing Festival, is it modified.
"Your Highness?"
"Chen Mo?"
Fang Xi and Cui Wumeng also discovered Chen Mo at the same time, Chen Mo did not hide his identity when he participated in the Buddha Bathing Festival this time, after all, he was taking them to relax together, and it was always a little sneaky to hide himself. The two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Chen Mo in his arms.
"Chen Mo, where did you deceive the little girl, hum, it's really shameless. Cui Wumeng never forgot the defeat he suffered in the Shenwu Move, and he never forgot to defeat him in his heart.
"Cui Wumeng, you don't have a little Lori's cute appearance. Chen Mo was disappointed.
"You're Lori. Although I don't know what little Lori is, Cui Wumeng feels that it is obviously not a good word.
Chen Mo laughed.
"Your Highness, I don't know which county lord this is?" In the end, it is the heir cultivated by Wanshou Temple, Fang Xi's bearing and cultivation are far better than many wealthy sons of the world that Chen Mo has seen.
Not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or arrogant, polite and courteous.
Chen Mo's impression of Fang Xi is quite good. "This is my godsister, she is a little scared, so I won't introduce it. β
"Your Highness's godsister is really cute. Fang Xi complimented.
Chen Mo nodded.
"Fang Xi, do you actually say cute?" Cui Wumeng exclaimed.
"Brother Fang Xi, is this bringing Sister Wumeng to feel Zen?" Chen Mo joked.
It is inevitable that the two family heirs will be a little difficult to associate together, Fang Xi explained: "Wumengmei has become the youngest martial saint of the Dazhong Dynasty since she entered the martial saint, but her foundation is not stable, so she specially came to consult Zen Xin, and wanted to consolidate her martial intent with zazen. β
Chen Mo is not surprised, Cui Wumeng's martial saint identity is also a very sensational thing in the Dazhong Dynasty, after all, she is only about ten years old, and she is really more demonic than herself, but because she is too young, many martial saints should have experience and comprehension, and the zazen of the Zen family can help her mind to achieve a perfect fit.
Cui Wumeng obviously didn't like Chen Mo knowing his weaknesses, and Xiao Lori still had a little naΓ―ve squeamishness. "Your Royal Highness Chen Mo, this Lotus Flower Peiben County Lord has taken a fancy to use it for zazen, do you want to rob it with me?"
She pointed to the same jade pendant.
"I think I'm more interested than you do. Chen Mo did not hesitate to say that he liked it.
"Hmph, shopkeeper, I want this jade pendant, ten times the price. Cui Wumeng said magnanimously.
The stall owner knew the identities of several people from the conversation, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, there is only one jade pendant left, can you discuss it." β
"I don't care. β
"Dreamless sister, don't be impatient. Fang Xi said.
After thinking about it, the young man said: "This is the Buddha Bathing Festival, about my Buddha, since this lotus pendant is related to the Buddha, why don't you and I ask the Zen family Jifeng, who can answer better, who will give this jade pendant to, what does Your Highness think?"
Fang Xi's request was reasonable, and Chen Mo couldn't find a reason to refuse, and looking at the young man's eager and radiant eyes, Chen Mo knew that the deeper reason why he wanted to compete was probably that he was unwilling to admit defeat like Cui Wumeng.
Thinking about it, he has made a verse that amazed the first Master Cixu of Wanshou, and once let everyone enter the Bodhi Cliff Zazen at a banquet, such feats Looking at the Dazhong Dynasty, he did not do it. To say that he Fang Xi is the descendant of Wanshou Temple, but compared to Chen Molai, he is ashamed of himself.
In the Shenwu Lift, Fang Xi was defeated by the Yanyu County Lord, and Chen Mo defeated Jiang Yanyu again, there is no doubt that Chen Mo is better in martial arts.
But when it comes to the real competition of the Zen family, there has never been one, and Fang Xi wants to defeat Chen Mo from the bottom of his heart.
He thinks that he has been doing Dry Wood Zen since he was a child, and he has a superb talent for Zen masters, Chen Mo is just famous because of the cold mountain question, in his opinion, it is nothing more than that he has been condensed by too many hardships and condensed experience is not a Zen heart, and he is just lucky. Got this opportunity today, how could Fang Xi let it go.
When I heard that someone was going to test the Zen master's edge, the surrounding area was immediately surrounded by water.
Cui Wumeng high-fived, his eyebrows opened and smiled: "Brother Fang Xi, your request is too good, His Royal Highness Chen Mo, you have entered the Bodhi Cliff, I am afraid that you also have a Zen heart, do you dare to compare with Brother Fang Xi?"
Chen Mo looked at Nian You's eyes as bright as stars, and the two looked at each other and blinked.
"Then I'll be ugly. Chen Mo smiled.
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar, and the duel between the two highnesses was even more rare than the Zen master's teachings.
Fang Xi took a deep breath and put himself into the most stable state.
After a while, he asked, "How is Zen?"
"The autumn wind is near the ancient ferry, and the sunset is unbearable. Chen Mo blurted out.
"Don't ask about this cicada. Fang Xi frowned.
"Which Zen do you ask?"
"Patriarch Zen!"
"Outside the Wanshou Temple, there are more pine sprouts, and there are more dew and chanting winds. Chen Mo's answer remained the same.
"You're not answering the question. Cui Wumeng pouted.
There were a bunch of puzzled tones in the crowd, and Fang Xi also expressed dissatisfaction.
Chen Mo smiled but didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "There is Jingde in the south, Jingde in the north, and virtue does not ask, how is Jingde." Jingdeku Temple is a famous temple of the Dazhong Dynasty, there are both north and south, it is said that the abbot of the temple is the disciple of the four Zen masters of Wanshou Temple today, the Zen heart is different from each other, the temple name is the same, everyone says that they want to divide the high and low.
Fang Xi said calmly: "The pine forest is interesting, the bright moon is like snow is the scene, the scenery of the north and south is different, and the name of this temple is naturally different." According to the Zen family, Fang Xi's answer is also very in line with the Zen spirit of the Zen family, not pursuing the superficial vulgarity, but lingering in the Zen family's favorite realm, the realm is different, the scenery is different, and the temple is naturally different.
His answer was also well received by everyone, the people who came to participate in the Buddha Bathing Festival all had a Zen heart, and everyone was half-understood, although Fang Xi's answer was not very amazing, but they felt that it should be so.
Chen Mo pursed his lips and shook his head.
Fang Xi was unhappy. "Your Highness Mo, is it because you have a weak heart when you answer what you asked?"
"The 'neck' is not on the head. Chen Mo said.
What the?
Fang Xi was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Chen Mo, what are you talking about? Cui Wumeng smiled. "Aren't you even clear about your own questions? Hmph, what other Bodhi have you ever been to sit down, it's too famous. β
Fang Xi frowned, very unsure of what Chen Mo was doing.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have comprehended Zen, Chen Mo was also quite helpless, but this was also a helpless thing, the Zen family's wit has always been Qiao Zhang's wisdom, concealment, half-concealment and half-appearance, so that you can think and let you guess. According to the Zen family, there are those who have the spirituality of Huigen, who touch the melon along the vine, solve the mystery, and win the drum with their palms, and those who have no Huigen spirituality, Zhanger King Kong is confused, and is frightened back by the suspicious soldiers for thirty miles, and cannot form an army.
Fang Xi has a great wisdom root in Zen heart, a genius-level monk of the Dazhong Dynasty, but after all, he is young and vigorous, and when he encounters an opponent like Chen Mo who has 'bodhicitta mind', it is a small thing.
Chen Mo was about to leave, when suddenly a thick admiration came from the crowd.
"This Zen family is very sharp, and it is wonderful to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son. β
This voice was like thunder, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and they all looked sideways, and saw a woman wearing a dragon pattern open her mouth to speak, her figure was very tall, standing very conspicuous in the crowd, her eyes seemed to be a devouring beast staring straight at Chen Mo, very oppressive.
"Do you understand what you mean?" Fang Xi was stunned.
"You won't be the nursery that Chen Mo found to cheer on. Cui Wumeng shouted.
The woman didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Chen Mo, her very aggressive eyes hid a little curiosity, and in the face of everyone's confusion, the woman rebuked in a low voice: "This neck is not a scene, don't you still understand? Literate people in the world are bound by words, but words are man-made, there are no certain rules, and the words in the world are different." His reply is to ask you to break your habitual attachment to language and writing, so that you will plan according to your calculations and attack mistakes with mistakes. β
Keep it simple.
When 'how is the scene', the words of the Zen family are to break the cage of language and writing, so it doesn't matter what 'scene' is, what matters is the scene in the heart.
As soon as she said this, everyone suddenly realized, enlightened, and suddenly enlightened.
Chen Mo's answer was obviously much more unexpected than Fang Xi's answer just now.
All of a sudden, voices of admiration rang out all around.
Fang Xi was stunned, after all, he had been sitting in meditation since he was a child, and he had some wisdom, and after being shocked, he immediately calmed down and chewed on the meaning of every word Chen Mo said before. "His Royal Highness Mo is so powerful, Fang Xi is losing, this 'Lianhua Pei' is His Highness. Fang Xi was convinced, and he seemed to become more respectful to Chen Mo, in his heart, even his master, Zen Master Zhiqiu, didn't seem to bring him such a great understanding.
If he was still angry that Chen Mo could enter the Bodhi Cliff before, now after fighting him in person, he realized that the young man in front of him far surpassed him in terms of martial arts, cultivation and Zen realm.
"Fang Xi, why did you admit defeat, this answer is obviously the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth. Cui Wumeng was in a hurry, Lotus Pei was small, but he was very unwilling to lose to Chen Mo again.
"To lose is to lose. Fang Xi replied flatly. "I'm going to bathe in Buddha water next, and I'll come back another day to ask for advice. β
Fang Xi glanced at the woman who stood up to speak, there was some jealousy in her eyes, and she nodded slightly: "Thank you for your reprimand, Fang Xi will say goodbye." β
The woman glanced at Fang Xi, her face expressionless, and let him leave.
"Fang Xi, you!!" Cui Wumeng stomped his foot.
At this time, the stall owner gave the lotus pendant, Chen Mo gave it to Nianyou, and the little Lori couldn't put it down and touched the jade pendant, her eyes were very fond of it. Cui Wumeng looked jealous and envious, "Chen Mo, don't think that I lost to you this time, I will definitely take back that piece of lotus blossom." β
"Cui Wumeng, there should be a limit to being pampered and arrogant, don't think that everything in the world is at your fingertips. Chen Mo said coldly.
"You...... Hum. Cui Wumeng shook his head and left angrily through the crowd.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and everyone was still reminiscing about what Chen Mo said. Chen Mo thanked the tall woman and said, "Under Chen Mo, if you have a fate another day, you must invite Your Excellency to have a drink." β
The woman's face was majestic, like a lion general, Chen Mo admitted that he had seen many generals, powerful monks, and even human emperors, but none of them could compare to the fierceness of the eyes of the woman in front of him, and the power that was not emitted seemed to rush out at any time.
"I also have something I want to ask you about Zen Buddhism, I don't know if you can answer it. The woman was not interested in Chen Mo's identity and politeness, and asked straight to the point.
"What's the problem?"
"How is the Dharma gist?"
This question is commonplace in Zen or Buddhism, and it is not a difficult question, and most of the types of answers are beyond the Dharma, but obviously women are people with that kind of great experience at first glance, and that kind of answer is not possible
