Chapter 37 Virtue and Virtue
The vicissitudes of the world are not free, and the gains and losses are in the fate of worry.
Don't say that there are thousands of hardships in the world, and those who win are virtuous.
When I saw this big python, I was also startled, and a thought flashed through my heart, how did it appear here? It spat out the letter and slowly approached me.
At this time, I kept my mind tightly, fully mobilized the energy in my body, and ran over and over again according to the practice route, and at this time, my body was shrouded in a faint golden light.
When the big python was about to approach me, controlled by my mind, I stretched out my hands and shot out a golden pillar of energy from between my hands, heading straight for the big python's face.
The golden pillar of energy hit the big python's face, and a "hiss" sound came out of the python's mouth, and patches of black mist rose from its body.
In the mist, the python's size began to shrink, and when it was finally reduced to more than a person's height, its body became more solid, and it spat out the letter again, wrapping around me.
It entangled my whole body at once, but my whole body was shrouded in layers of golden energy, and it couldn't hurt me in the slightest, so a war of attrition began between me and the python.
I could feel that the python's body was wrapping my whole body tighter and tighter, but my heart was unusually calm, and the energy consumed in my body was constantly replenished through the operation of the exercises.
I don't know how long I've been with it, the light of the golden energy shield on my body has not dimmed because of the consumption of energy, but has further condensed, my heart is more certain, it must not work if it is consumed like this, and gradually the big python seems to have begun to show signs of exhaustion.
I worked harder to urge the energy in my body, at this time, as long as the python's body touched the part of my body energy, it began to emit a strong black gas, the black gas seemed to be evaporated little by little, and the python's body gradually began to become a little illusory from condensation.
Almost another tea time, the python wrapped around my body had completely disappeared, leaving only a small snake corpse the thickness of a thumb and a dozen inches long on the ground, lying quietly at my feet.
When I searched for the little snake, I found that the little snake was completely dead, and after a while, the body of the little snake disappeared in front of me, and my heart was still very vigilant, and I began to use my eyes to find the truth of the matter.
Just as I was wondering, in another space downstairs of the hotel, a familiar aura appeared, a black mist filled the downstairs of the hotel, and out of the black fog came out of the demon that I had always been familiar with.
As soon as he appeared, he smiled coldly at me and said, "Ahahaha, I didn't expect to see you for a few days and your skills have improved a lot, that little snake is really a waste, I blessed it with so much energy and couldn't take you down, it's a bit of a pity, hahaha..."
I heard that this was just a bland saying: "If you are not qualified, I can rush to Huashan tomorrow, and then our new and old accounts will be settled together." ”
The demon smiled strangely and said, "Haha, okay, I'll naturally go over to find you then, we'll see you later!" Ahaha..."With his laughter, the demon faded away.
I looked at the place where he disappeared, I thought to myself, I don't know where the evil demon will appear in Huashan, and I don't know when he will appear, it seems that I can't take Haohai with me, in case there is any danger, I can't take care of him, no! When the time comes, I have to find a way to get rid of him and keep him from going to Huashan.
After that, nothing happened, and the next morning, I had already washed up, and Haohai got up sleepily, seeing that I was ready, he reacted, got up quickly, and quickly got dressed.
After I waited for Haohai to wash up, I called Master Li to the restaurant for dinner. The restaurant of this hotel is not small and there are many customers, after all, this place is also a tourist attraction with a lot of places of interest.
We chatted about last night's events while having breakfast, and now Haohai can be said to admire me for being a five-body caster. Haohai suggested: "Brother, let's get here today, why don't we take a tour of the scenery around Luoyang by the way, and then rush to the foot of Huashan tonight, how about it?" ”
I thought it was right, it was better to walk around, so I nodded in agreement. Haohai saw that I agreed, so he picked up his eldest brother and called the group of friends, and it didn't take long for the mink coat brother and the two younger brothers to come to the hotel restaurant last night.
Seeing him appear, Haohai beckoned everyone to get in the car and set off, the car of Brother Mink Coat in front led the way, and Brother Coat sat in our car.
I remember that yesterday Haohai introduced him to me as Wang Hu, and Haohai added him to his fifth brother, and I naturally called him the fifth brother. Haohai said to Wang Hu: "Fifth brother, our Luoyang is the ancient capital, take us around the most distinctive scenic spots, and we will also have a long experience." ”
Haohai's question seemed to open Wang Hu's chatterbox, and he talked endlessly about some of the monuments here.
When he said to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, my eyes lit up, and he said to the fifth brother: "Fifth brother, let's go to the White Horse Temple to have a look, I heard that it is the first ancient temple in the world, and there is a saying that the ancestral court of Buddhism is explained." ”
Wang Hu smiled: "Okay, no problem, let's go, the White Horse Temple has a history of more than 1,900 years, the existing ruins and monuments are left in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and a large number of dry lacquer statues of the Yuan Dynasty are preserved in the temple. As he spoke, he called the younger brother who was driving in front of him and turned to the White Horse Temple.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the White Horse Temple, and from the outside, the whole temple layout was regular and the style was simple. Outside the temple gate, there are new stone archways, release ponds, stone arch bridges in the south of the square in recent years, and the left and right sides of it are green spaces. There are two stone horses on the left and right, the size is equivalent to the real horse, the image is gentle and tame, these are two stone carved horses of the Song Dynasty.
We then walked inside, the main courtyard of this White Horse Temple sits in the north and faces south, and is a long courtyard with a total area of about 40,000 square meters.
The main buildings include the Tianwang Palace, the Great Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Receiving Palace, the Pilu Pavilion, etc., all of which are listed on the central axis of the north-south direction. Although it is not the "old style of Xiyi Tianzhu" when it was founded, the temple site has never been moved, so the platform and well of the Han Dynasty are still faintly visible. There are five major halls and four courtyards, as well as east and west wings.
We came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the fifth brother acted as our temporary guide, starting from entering the door to this Daxiong Hall, introducing us to his understanding of the White Horse Temple along the way, which also made me change my concept of this person who doesn't seem to be a good person.
There are a lot of pilgrims in the main hall, all of them have to worship the Buddha statue, and they have sent out their thoughts and thoughts to ask for anything, I found that there are those who seek wealth, some seek promotion, some seek peace, and some seek good health, but they do not ask the Buddha to bless how to improve their minds, and where they do not do well to correct themselves, looking at these individuals, I also shook my head and sighed in my heart.
I interjected, "Fifth brother, it seems that you are also a believer in Buddhism?" If you know so much about the White Horse Temple, you must have come to it a lot. ”
Hearing me ask him this, he seemed to be even more excited, and said with a laugh: "Of course, I am a believer in Buddhism, and I basically come here every month to worship Buddha statues, so as to bless me with wealth and safety." ”
I nodded slightly when I heard this, but I sighed in my heart and didn't say anything. The back of the leading hall and the Pilu hall were quickly completed, and when we came out, we looked at the time and saw that it had not taken two hours.
When I came out, the fifth brother saw that there was plenty of time, and suggested that we go to the Longmen Grottoes to have a look, and everyone also had this idea, so they got in the car and rushed to the Longmen Grottoes.
The White Horse Temple is less than 30 kilometers away from the Longmen Grottoes, and I took advantage of the time I took to rest in the car and talked to my fifth brother about something.
I said to the fifth brother: "Fifth brother, I have no objection to your belief in Buddhism, but try not to worship the Buddha statue casually in the future." The fifth brother showed a puzzled expression and said, "Why is this?" Is it not okay to ask for peace and wealth? ”
I sighed, "The human mind is thought to be spiritual, but it is not. People's minds and thoughts are a material existence. When a person worships an object, his brain will send thoughts to that object, and then the object has a thought, and if the thought of money is a thought of money, then the object has a thought. Others also go to worship, and after a long time, it will give it energy, and slowly it will have a human form, and at this time it is very dangerous for people. ”
When the fifth brother heard me talk about this, he was also a little skeptical, and said, "This is true or false, is it so serious?" ”
I continued: "There are some things that people don't want to admit, and even if they find out, they don't want to change their old ideas. In fact, there is nothing wrong with people wanting to live a good life, but there is a saying that virtue carries things, and there is a lack of virtue and few things. There are some things that cannot be forced, and this has been recorded in many times throughout history. I'll take this time to tell you about this relationship as well. ”
Therefore, I gave you a detailed and systematic explanation in the car and explained to them the relationship between virtue and virtue.
In the car, I explained to them the relationship between virtue and virtue, and I said: "There is a principle in classical physics, many of us have learned, but we never know that it can be used to make money, to change fate, to use it in all aspects of life. When I said the word "make money," everyone in the car pricked up their ears, and I laughed to myself and explained to them a little more about the principle.
This is the principle of conservation of energy, and its content is that everything is made up of energy, energy does not appear or disappear out of thin air, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
I gave the simplest example to the people in the car, for example, when a piece of paper is burned with fire, it turns to ash, and at the same time releases some other substances, and the process of turning from paper to ash is the process of changing the form of matter.
When you understand this principle, and at the same time, combined with our Chinese wisdom and culture, you can use it to explore real wealth.
I emphasized two words to the people in the car, "De and De", these two words have the same sound, and they can be directly replaced by De in ancient times. What do they mean?
At this time, Haohai on the side interrupted me and said, "Ah Hyun, no one has seen this virtue you told us all, is this real?" ”
I replied: "I can't prove whether this virtue is or not, this is what the ancients have always emphasized, let's not care whether this virtue is real or not, but if the ancients have been emphasizing this virtue, he has an advantage, that is, it will maintain people's morality at a fairly high level, people have a constraint, you can imagine what that kind of society is like?" ”
Everyone in the car fell silent, thinking seriously about this question, and I continued: "So our Chinese ancestors are too wise, they have long realized that the inner and outer are actually one and the same!" What is wealth? Wealth is external, that is, 'gain'. And the energy, blessings, and merits within us are 'virtue'. ”
So when the inside is greater than the outside, the energy will be converted into matter, and then the wealth will automatically exist; When the outside is greater than the inside, that is, when the energy is insufficient, the material will automatically disappear, and the corresponding to life is the external loss or even disaster such as health and wealth.
From this, we can better understand what we often mean by "being virtuous". The so-called "things" are the beautiful things that we pursue day and night and think about every day, such as houses, cars, money, status, education, fame, health, family, children and grandchildren, and other external tangible things.
Where do these come from? Our ancestors in China told us that these things came from Delhi, so I summed it up according to the law of conservation of energy: "Virtue is good, virtue is thin, virtue is lacking, virtue is lacking, and there is no virtue." Because energy and mass always have to pursue a balance. ”
The fifth brother slapped his thigh at this time and said loudly: "I understand, in short, in a word, with this virtue, you can pursue things, without this, there is nothing, and it is useless to work hard, right?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." I further explained to them the relationship between physical health and virtue.
I continued: "All diseases are a symptom, especially incurable diseases, which are almost always caused by a dysfunction of the immune system, in scientific and medical terms. ”
Everyone in the car is listening to me seriously, and who controls this immune system? The root is controlled by consciousness, and consciousness is energy. So we have to look at the essence through the phenomena, and all the phenomena are manifestations of energy; All changes are energy transformations according to the principle of conservation of energy.
This principle is used in our health preservation, and this principle is also used in making money, which is the most fundamental truth, law and essence of nature - energy creates objects, and energy creates quality.
In fact, what I told the people in the car today is very difficult for most people to understand, but these are indeed the truths of the world. When our virtue is very thick and the spirit is beyond the material, there is a law in the universe that will automatically restore the balance, so that the material and the spirit are balanced, and the matter will automatically appear.
For matter and energy to be balanced, they must be transformed into each other. Our human body is the same, when yin and yang are unbalanced, we will get sick, and if yin and yang are extremely unbalanced, we will die, which cannot be refused.
In the same way, there are many times when wealth cannot be refused. As long as a lot of merit is accumulated, success is inevitable.
If a person has little virtue and too much material, the result is that the part of the material that is more than the spirit will disappear, which is also irresistible, and even natural and man-made disasters will occur. So, now do you know how the disaster came? In the words of the ancients, virtue is not matched.
The people in the car listened to my explanation, and Master Li, who was driving in front, asked, "Then how can we supplement this virtue?" I don't know how much virtue I have consumed? ”
When Master Li asked this, it was also a question that Haohai and Fifth Brother wanted to ask, and they wanted to get the answer from me.
I told them, "A lot of people don't know this, and they go for it. I have seen many bosses who buy a lot of villas and cars after making a lot of money, which is very luxurious, but they do not replenish their spiritual energy. Over time, something bad will surely happen to him after that, because this is the law of the universe! Not by the will of man for the transfer! ”
Haohai asked at this time, "Then what should we do exactly?" ”
I replied, "So, wise people solve things before they happen, and unwise people wait for things to happen, but some things are too late to be remedied once they have happened." In short, it is to always have good thoughts in your heart, that is, to always let the inner be greater than the outer! Let the spirit be greater than the material! ”
The fifth brother asked with some confusion: "Xiaohyun, can you explain it to me more clearly?" ”
So, I further explained to them that only by improving one's morality can one accumulate merit. It's like if you want to save more money quickly, and suddenly you need it urgently, and you can take it out; When the calamity comes, you can be dissolved. It's like if you accumulate a hundred merits, but the disaster is a thousand, and you can't get rid of it. Therefore, there are two things in the world that cannot wait, filial piety cannot wait, and good deeds cannot wait.
We see that there are many entrepreneurs in the world, and he has a wealth of tens of billions, but his family is sick, he uses the best equipment, hires the best doctors, and his family still leaves him. Therefore, wealth cannot turn disasters into disasters, and only by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds can disasters be transformed. If he uses the money he spends to do good deeds and accumulate merits, he will be able to turn it away. Therefore, it is too important for people to understand and not understand reason, and they cannot solve the problem if they are not reasonable.
At this time, several people in the car fell into deep thought, I looked at the state of the people in the car, thinking that this is a good thing, although some things are said, but whether they can get more depends on themselves, only if they figure it out and realize it can they become their own.
The car is still moving forward, which makes me feel like the wheels of human history are rolling forward, not stopping because someone or something happens, but always following a trajectory. However, what you choose in the process is too important.
The silence in the car was broken by Master Li, who was driving, and he beckoned everyone to arrive at the Longmen Grottoes in front of us, and we all came back to our senses.
The fifth brother sitting in front of him interjected: "This Longmen Grottoes is the first of the major grottoes in China, the Dragon Gate is dug by Dayu in the water, and the legend of the fish leaping over the Dragon Gate takes place here." ”
Listening to the fifth brother say that Dayu has been here to control the water, I am even more interested in the Longmen Grottoes. After the car was parked, our group began to explore.
We found a tour guide here and gave us a detailed introduction to the Longmen Grottoes. Its grottoes were excavated in the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and finally ended in the Qing Dynasty. After more than 10 dynasties, it has been built for more than 1,400 years, making it the longest grotto in the world. Densely spread on the cliffs of the east and west mountains of Yishui, 1 km long from north to south, there are 2,345 existing cave statues, and more than 110,000 statues.
I looked at the beautiful Buddha statues carved in the grottoes, and deeply realized the essence of China's long history and cultural accumulation. It is to see the traces carved by the years on the mountain rock, which makes this grotto even more precious.
After we finished visiting the Longmen Grottoes, we had lunch in a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, and after I separated from Haohai and the fifth brother in the afternoon, we continued to drive to the next stop, Huashan, which is also the destination of this time.
I looked at Haohai next to me, compared to the first time we met in the hotel a few days ago, he has changed a lot now, the unruly boy is slowly transforming, and he is replaced by a more calm and mature him.
At six o'clock in the evening, we rushed to the foot of Huashan, found a hotel at the foot of Huashan and stayed, and after putting away the luggage, the three of us came to the hotel's restaurant.
Don't look at the restaurant of this hotel is not very big, but the sparrow is small but full of organs, there are many tourists who come to stay here, we found a place near the window to sit, here you can see all the places of the restaurant intuitively.
Haohai ordered a few of the specialties here, after all, after playing all day today, everyone was a little tired, and wanted to go back to sleep after eating quickly, so they ate very hard.
While eating, a pair of young people dressed as couples came in from outside the restaurant, the man looked to be in his early twenties, handsome and chic, and the woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, she was ice and snow smart, and her posture was graceful, and they were all dressed fashionably.
The two of them sat down at a table not far from us, ordered a few dishes, and ate quietly.
I had a strange feeling when they sat down, a feeling that only people in the same path have an intuition, they must not be ordinary people, but when I looked at them with my heavenly eyes, I found nothing, no different from others.
I'm also puzzled, my Heavenly Eyes have never failed, what's wrong with today? Is it my delusion?
The man among them just glanced casually at our table, and didn't make any special moves, but my chest suddenly felt as if it was being pressed by a thousand pounds of boulder, and I couldn't breathe.
My brain was also instantly awake, knowing that I had met a master today, and the exercises in my body were running automatically, desperately resisting this invisible pressure.
Just as cold sweat began to slowly ooze from my forehead, this invisible pressure suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Haohai next to me noticed my abnormality and asked me what was wrong, and my head was sweating. I just shook my head at him and said, maybe it was a little too fast to eat.
Haohai stretched his waist, and saw that I hadn't finished eating, so he said to me: "Brother, I'll go back to the room with Lao Li first, I'm really a little tired, you can just go back to the room after eating, this is the room key, but don't disturb me to sleep, I'm too tired today." As he spoke, he handed me the number plate in his room, yawned and left.
I nodded at them, and as soon as the two of them left the restaurant, the young man in the couple not far away came over and sat down in Haohai's place.
Before I could speak, the man looked around, and when he found that there was no one, he whispered to me and said: "Hello this Dao brother, let me introduce myself first, under the surname Xiao Mingshi, the one standing next to me is my wife's name is Langyu, we also came to Huashan from elsewhere, we plan to browse, brother, you don't have to be nervous, we have no ill will towards you, brother." ”
When I heard him say this, my tense nerves relaxed a little, and I introduced myself to him: "In Xia Donghyun, I also came here to travel, and I didn't mean to offend just now, please forgive me." "I didn't know what to say, so I learned the tone of the Jianghu guests when they met in the TV series.
The man who came over to talk to me, when he heard me say these words, also laughed, pulled a chair, and sat his wife next to him.
After he sat down, he approached me, smiled and whispered, "Your master is aware that there is something important to do, and he specially asked us to come over to protect you, this trip to Huashan is very dangerous, you have to be careful!" ”
When this man named Xiao Shi said that it was my master who asked them to come, I had already completely believed his words, because it was impossible for ordinary people to hide the details under my Heavenly Eyes, only the masters in cultivation could, and they had to be people whose skills were far above mine.
At this time, I was sitting on the back of my stomach and said respectfully to them: "The kid was a little rude just now, please don't blame me for the two seniors." ”
The man named Xiao Shi laughed again: "Where, Jue Ming, this kid has accepted a good apprentice, and he has a future!" …”
Just as our conversation was rising, two more men came in from outside the restaurant, an old man who looked to be in his sixties, and a young man in his twenties. The young man looked a little gloomy, and there was an icy aura on his body.
As soon as they entered the door, they sat in the same place where Xiao Shi and Lang Yu had sit, and I instinctively looked at them, and the young man looked at me with an extremely cruel look at me at this time, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wait, how is this smile so familiar? Could he be the demon? Just when I wanted to confirm further, Xiao Shi, who was sitting next to me, pressed my arm with his hand, and whispered: "Xiao Hyunzi, don't be impulsive, that old man is not an ordinary person, don't check on the other party at will, it's very rude." ”
I followed Xiao Shi's advice and suppressed the curiosity in my heart. In a short time, all the food on their table was ready, and the young man never looked up at me again, but just lowered his head and ate.
The people at both of our tables fell into a silent silence as if agreed, and did not speak, but silently ate their meals.
Lang Yu, who was sitting next to Xiao Shi, sighed and said to Xiao Shi: "It seems that we are in trouble, what should we do now?" ”
When I heard her say this, I was a little confused, so I naturally looked at Xiao Shi, and I found that dense beads of sweat oozed from Xiao Shi's head, and his face began to turn a little pale, and he didn't answer Lang Yu's words immediately.
I found that there was a faint milky white halo emanating from Xiao Shi's body, and this halo could only be discovered by us cultivators, and ordinary people could not find it. Seeing this halo makes me feel even more relieved, because this halo can only be found by practitioners on the right path.
At this time, Xiao Shi's eyes were staring at the two people at the opposite table, his hands were holding our table and trembling, and his wife Lang Yu grabbed Xiao Shi's hand at this time and slowly closed his eyes.
I also ran the exercises to the extreme at the right time, and a white halo enveloped my whole body, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit eerie right now, and the guests at the other tables don't notice anything unusual about us.
The old man at the opposite table finished eating, and coughed lightly, Xiao Shi's whole body was shocked, his face turned red, and a trace of blood slowly oozed from his mouth.
Now we are all nervous and vigilant, not knowing what will happen in a while......
