Chapter 126: Tibetan Buddhist Lama Temple, White Bones Impure Views
Jiang You avoids the checkpoint at the entrance of LS City, enters the city, and finds his donkey tied to an abandoned park.
The donkey was surrounded by a group of urchins at this time, and after the park was abandoned, it became their playground, and when they found that there was a fat and shiny donkey in this place, they felt the novelty and began to play with the donkey, and tried to see who could ride on the donkey's back.
The donkey was tired of this group of children, but he didn't dare to move too much, for fear that he would hurt these little things if he didn't pay attention to it, so he could only shake his head and tail and frighten the children who were about to turn over and ride up.
When these children came home for dinner, they told their adults that there was suddenly a big donkey in the park, and they couldn't see where the owner was.
The adults in the family knew the news again, and immediately moved their minds, the current price of meat is not cheap, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to eat a mouthful of meat.
Isn't it said as the old saying goes, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground. It turned out that the conditions were good, and donkey meat was not rare, but now that you can eat a bite of donkey meat, it will be beautiful and bubbling that day.
However, at this time, you can't take the donkey away by yourself, after all, the donkey is tethered, and the possibility of the owner coming back to find it cannot be ruled out, but if the child shoots, the owner will come to the door later, and he will say that the child is not sensible, and he lied that it was a wild donkey, and he didn't know, and when the time came, he beat the child in front of others, and that's it, he was an adult, and as for catching a child, at that time, the donkey meat had already been eaten in the stomach?
The idea was not only for families, so the next day, the children were scrambling to take the donkey away.
And when Jiang You arrived, he happened to witness this farce.
Jiang You watched this scene with a smile from a distance, slightly exuding a wisp of his own breath, the donkey immediately sensed a familiar momentum, looked ahead, saw Jiang You, and was immediately overjoyed, the donkey screamed, the front hooves were raised, and the surrounding children were dispersed, and then turned around and untied the reins with his mouth, held it in his mouth, and rushed out of the encirclement with his hooves and came towards Jiang You.
The children were shocked, this donkey can untie the reins by himself, could it be a donkey demon? By the time they looked in the direction of the donkey, there was no sign of the donkey, and soon, there were rumors of the donkey demon in LS City.
Jiang You left Leshan, although this trip did not completely understand the reason for the closure of Emei and Qingcheng, but it gave him a further understanding of the gods and gods, and in general, the harvest was greater.
Jiang You's time in Shu was not short, and he didn't have the intention of staying for a long time, so he set off to return to Qin Province.
Jiang You didn't want to go back the same way, and planned to go from Leshan from south to north, go around, pass Ya'an, Ganzi, Aba and other places, and go home from Sichuan.
It can also be regarded as a little more appreciation of the current situation of Shudi.
Jiang You took the map given by Zhou Zhengfeng, bypassed several places marked as desperate, and after planning the route, he patted the donkey, and the donkey knew Jiang You's intentions, and the four hooves came out with white gas, and the speed suddenly accelerated, crossing the mountains and mountains, and flying around the lake and the stream as if walking on the ground.
Jiang You in the mountains took the time to kill a few demon beasts, made up the strings, and spent the rest of his time in cultivating the seven-string invisible sword and restoring his spiritual power.
Soon Jiang You entered the Ya'an area, and walked all the way from the deep mountains and giant forests, Jiang You found that the strength of this weird and monster beast also rose in a straight line, and he passed by the demon beast territory several times, and the strength of the leading demon beast was that even Jiang You couldn't help but look sideways, and the momentum on his body was converted to a human being, and it could reach the level of sequence seven.
Those demon beasts originally saw that there were humans crossing their territory so openly and openly, and they came to surround them, but after Jiang You slaughtered a few demon beasts led by Jiang You, the demon beasts behind smelled the breath of their old rival on Jiang You, so they were honest and ignored Jiang You.
Don't look at the level of sequence seven, but the difference in personal strength is huge, whether to cultivate martial arts, how powerful the sequence is supernatural powers, whether it can be awakened, whether there are divine weapons on the body, these factors have played a crucial role in the level of sequence seven, and have a crucial impact on the individual's combat power.
Under sequence seven, although these factors are there, as long as a longboard is long enough, it can always make up for it, for example, Jiang You relied on martial arts alone to fight with awakened people of the same level in sequence eight without falling behind, but after sequence seven, martial arts strength obviously appeared to lack stamina, and people who cultivated martial arts had already fallen behind before they entered Gang Jin.
As for the power of Gangjin, Jiang You is not clear now.
And those who enter the seventh sequence and do not have concurrent cultivation, because the physical strength and control are not enough, the effect of the supernatural power displayed is reduced due to various realistic factors, and the effect is weaker than those who also cultivate martial arts.
Now Jiang You himself is grading the awakened people of the same level in his heart, then people like him who have dabbled in all aspects and have no obvious shortcomings are the first class, and the White Lotus Sect Demon Maiden has awakened magic or martial arts, but those who do not have divine weapons are second-class, and the third class is those who have no supernatural powers awakened, but the martial arts cultivation is not bad, such as Qi Honghu and Chiyun. The fourth class is the person who relies solely on the sequence, and this kind of person is also the largest number of people.
And the pure martial arts can no longer be lined up at this time.
Of course, there will always be outliers among them, such as Lu Xiaoxiao and Chengyuan, the sequence god is outrageous, the longboard is too long, and the strength is difficult to estimate.
At this time, Jiang You can already overlook Ya'an City from the top of the mountain, and the situation here is similar to that of other places, the population of the surrounding county towns has shrunk to the city, and they have concentrated their resources and worked hard to take root and survive.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still very clear, but a few dark clouds drifted from nowhere, and soon the dark clouds joined together, obscuring the sky, and the sky suddenly dimmed.
Soon, heavy rain fell from the sky, like a huge waterfall, sweeping the heavens and the earth, thunder resounded through the sky, shaking the mountains to hum, lightning pierced the dim sky, and in an instant illuminated the heavens and the earth.
The wind also roared hysterically, the bushes on both sides swayed wildly, almost pressed to the ground by the wind, the raindrops whipped the ground like whips, and the city of Ya'an, which could be seen clearly just now, was soon covered by rising water vapor, and the mountains became hazy, only two or three places where the white mist was thin showed a faint blue color.
Jiang You looked at the storm and calculated the time, today is the fifth day of March, and it is a sting!
Stinging, the yang rises, the temperature warms up, the spring thunder moves, the insects wake up, the rain increases, and everything is full of vitality.
"Another stinging spring thunder!"
Jiang You sighed in his heart, there was already a white light shrouded outside his body, no matter how heavy the rain was, he couldn't get in the slightest.
He rode on a donkey and headed towards the city of Ya'an.
Ya'an City is different from Leshan and Jinguan City before, and there are no checkpoints in the city, just like before.
There were almost no pedestrians on the roads in the city, and everyone was forced to take shelter under the eaves by the sudden heavy rain.
The eaves are hung with a water curtain like a beaded curtain, and the people who shelter from the rain behind are also amazed, and they have not seen such a heavy rainstorm for many years, and this rainfall is really amazing.
When Jiang You entered the city, in order not to attract attention, he deliberately collected his own means, and let the rain wet his body, and those who were hiding from the rain saw that in the misty rain curtain, a young man riding a donkey walked out of it, and every time the donkey's hooves fell, the stagnant water on the stone slab would inevitably splash white.
"Where did you come from a donkey rider?"
"Who knows, such a heavy rain, still coming from outside the city, should be an awakened person."
"Oh, that's right!"
Jiang You's ears heard the people under the eaves discussing themselves, and listening to their voices, these people had already been surprised by the awakened people, and they didn't have any fear or reverence.
"In troubled times, strength is respected, why are the residents here so confident? Could it be that there is a big organization here to constrain governance? ”
This question was quickly answered by Jiang You.
Jiang You soon found a temple with flourishing incense in the city, but this temple was different from the usual temples, it was a lama temple!
The lama temple is also the temple style of Tibetan Buddhism, the wall is solid and heavy, the wall is plastered with white paint, the roof is paved with golden glazed tiles, there is a huge gilt vase in the middle, and there are white pagodas on both sides of the door, echoing the golden pagoda exposed inside.
Jiang You thought in his heart, Shu Di already borders Tibet, and it turns out that the best route to Tibet is to drive from Jinguancheng.
It is not surprising that there is a lama temple here.
Tibetan Buddhism was first introduced to Tibet during the Tang Dynasty, when Songtsen Gampo married Princess Qizun and Princess Wencheng.
Later, it gradually merged with the local government, and the supreme ruler of the regime was also the religious leader.
The status of a monk also jumped to the nobility.
If there is a Buddha country in reality, then Tibet is a Buddha country!
But this Buddha country is not the same as people imagine, it can be said that it is the opposite, there are no auspicious clouds, there is no bliss, there is no compassion, there is only all-round exploitation and domination!
The most famous is to use human skin to make thangkas, use baby skulls to make utensils, and human bones to make prayer beads, which completely coincide with the image of evil demons in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in fact, the reason why this was done in the first place was to enable practitioners to appreciate the impermanence of life and see through the external appearances. Moreover, the bones that can make human bone magic weapons are not ordinary ordinary people, they are the skulls taken by the monks after their deaths, and ordinary people are not qualified for this. But later in the process of development, it gradually deteriorated.
This may seem a bit scary, but it is actually in line with the essence of Zen practice.
The five meanings of Buddhism: impermanence, suffering, emptiness, selflessness, and extinction, correspond to the five Zen methods, impurity, compassion, karma, separation, and counting.
This method of cultivation is the path of impure contemplation.
Impure contemplation is mainly abstaining from sexual immorality, which can be said to be the first level of practice.
Both Buddhism and Taoism believe that lewdness is the most hindering obstacle to practice, and the Buddha Shakyamuni instructed his disciple Ananda: "You teach the world to practice samadhi, and first stop fornication." ”
Taoism has pure Yangzi and poetry: "The twenty-eight best people are like crisps, and the sword at the waist slashes the fool; In the open, there is no head falling, and secretly the marrow of the king is withered. ”
The way to practice impure meditation is to first visualize the flesh, hair, internal organs, and bones of the human body in your mind.
After the visualization is formed, find a secret room, place the newly deceased person (preferably a beautiful woman) on the stage, and watch the gradual decomposition of the corpse every day.
When the corpse is swollen, rotten, maggots, and emits a foul smell far greater than that of feces, the human body visualized in the mind also changes, and finally turns into a white skeleton, and it is done.
The main purpose of impurity is to realize that impurity is the essence of the human body and other beings.
The human mind is delusional and delusional, and only knows the illusion of pursuing 'purity', and 'impurity' is where the world is as it is.
After realizing the truth of impurity, the practice can be regarded as the first step!
When Jiang You saw Tibetan Buddhism here, he couldn't help but think of the Tibetan monk who came from Shangjing and practiced joyful Zen, and naturally felt a little more disgusted.
"It seems that this place is weird around the temple suppression, it should be done well, otherwise the people will not be this spiritual outlook!"
Although Jiang You doesn't like Tibetan Buddhism very much in his heart, he has to admit that this Ya'an City is indeed the best city he has governed along the way.
Jiang You saw that the gate of the temple was open, and he wanted to enter to check it out, so he turned over from the donkey's back and went up the steps step by step.
When he was about to reach the gate, the treasure bottle on the top of the gate suddenly emitted a golden light and attacked Jiang You.
Jiang You said in his heart when he saw it. "It seems that this place is not very welcoming to the Awakened from outside!"
A punch was punched at the golden light, and the five-colored brilliance of the fist peak flashed, and the golden light was scattered.
Just as Jiang You was about to move on, he suddenly noticed that the sound of rain in his ears disappeared suddenly, and a black and thin old monk wearing a red monk's robe, bare arms, bare feet, and wrinkled face appeared at the door.
After the old monk appeared, he saluted Jiang You with a raised palm, "Hum Mani Bei Mei Bang, donor stay!" ”
Hum Mani Bei Mei Bang is a six-character mantra often recited by Tibetan monks, transliterated, and Zen Buddhism "Amitabha" meaning is almost the same, for the meeting etiquette.
The old monk looked thin and small, but the six-character mantra was like a lion's roar, low and deep, and there was a powerful energy in it that scattered around Jiang You with this sound.
Jiang You raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Lama, this convenient door, can't I go in and burn incense?" ”
Jiang You's voice was like a dragon's roar, shaking out all the hidden energy around him.
The old monk didn't expect Jiang You's strength to be so strong, and he broke the power of his mantra in an understatement.
"Kangsongzha Monastery does not accept awakened people from outside at present, please forgive me!"
The old monk is also simply, directly turned Jiang You away, Jiang You saw that people said so, and it was not easy to break through, after all, seeing that this Kangsongzha Temple has a good governance of the local area, he can't get along with all the Tibetan Buddhist temples just because he has a festival with the Tibetan monk from Shangjing.
And the strength of this old monk seems to be the existence of sequence seven, and he has Tibetan Buddhism, so far, it seems that the strength should be between the second and third grades, the strength is not bad, and he may not be the strongest person in the temple, and he may not be able to please himself.
"In that case, then I'll retire!"
Jiang You ate a closed door and turned around to leave.
As he descended the steps, the sound of the rain was heard again, and he quickly disappeared into the rain on his donkey.
The old monk kept seeing Jiang You's figure disappear, so he turned around and walked into the temple.
Jiang You rode on the back of the donkey and thought, "It should be that the wisp of malice towards the temple was detected by the treasure bottle on the top at the beginning, so he directly launched an attack, and the old monk also refused!" ”
Thinking of this, Jiang You couldn't help laughing, "It's a good means to be able to detect people's malice!" ”
Immediately, Jiang You took a turn in the city in the rain, and then went out of the city directly.
