Chapter 174: Good Teacher
Bang bang!
Boom!
In a few moments, the portal in the shape of a yin-yang fish completely opened, revealing the rectangular space beneath it, and a staircase that descended downward.
There is no doubt that this is the hidden "treasure place" here, and the five of them looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
"I said Lao You, how did you judge this? Let's talk about it! At this time, Hong Bin suddenly asked, his face full of curiosity.
As a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he could naturally see that what You Fang had just ordered was "Yongquan Acupoint", but he couldn't understand what the connection between those two hints was with Yongquan Acupoint.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple." You Fang smiled when he heard this, and then stretched out a finger, "First of all, it's the word 'sincerity'." ”
"The so-called 'sincerity' should test the 'cultivation heart' of the person who enters the valley, that is, it is not 'sincere to others', but 'sincere to oneself'!"
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Fu Chen nodded suddenly, obviously, he also thought of this layer.
"Indeed, for cultivators, the word 'sincerity' is more appropriate to interpret in this way, which also echoes the situation in this valley!"
"Huh? How do you say that? Obviously, Hong Bin still didn't understand, so he scratched his head, and immediately asked.
Fu Chen also went on to explain: "For all practitioners, all kinds of 'distracting thoughts' in the process of cultivation are the most likely to disrupt their practice, and once their mentality changes due to these 'distracting thoughts', it is easy to slack off in their practice. ”
"In this kind of slackness, the growth rate of cultivators' cultivation will naturally slow down, but most cultivators are unwilling to admit this, and there will be a situation of 'self-deception'."
"At least among most ordinary cultivators, this situation is quite common, and this is also a manifestation of 'insincerity', which will hinder the cultivation even more, and the only way to fight against it is to calm down and be honest with yourself."
Speaking of this, Fu Chen paused:
"Looking at the valley in front of you, with the strangeness of those lines, it is easy for both ordinary people and cultivators to linger in it, thus giving birth to countless thoughts......
"Regardless of whether there are those fine lines carved later, this will not change, and the complex structure in this cave will become more and more upset if you have not been able to find a way, so it will be even more difficult to calm down and face your own heart."
"Under such a premise, even if the people who enter the valley can finally come here, they will be annoyed by the 'emptiness' here, and under the impetuousness of their thoughts, it is basically impossible to find the clue of this, that is, to the end of the ...... That pair of footprints. ”
"It can be said that the word 'sincerity' guides the pair of footprints, which also means 'down-to-earth', and after finding those footprints, you should need to start solving the puzzle of 'what is a person'."
After speaking, Fu Chen set his eyes on You Fang, this question of "what is a person" was solved by You Fang, and naturally it should be explained by him.
Seeing this, You Fang smiled slightly, nodded lightly and said: "Lao Fu is right, the word 'sincerity' is exactly this solution, as for this 'what is a person'...... Hehe. ”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly looked in the direction he came, memories appeared in his eyes, and he asked at the same time: "I don't know if you still remember, what is the state of some of the monkeys outside the valley that are particularly strong?" ”
"What state? This ......" several people were stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and soon suddenly realized, "Ah! They all seem to be standing! ”
"That's right, unlike the other monkeys, those powerful monkeys are not on all fours, but in a standing posture, according to the monkey's instinct...... This is not normal. You Fang nodded.
"But if you combine the supernatural in this valley, it is not difficult to judge that the reason why they have this change is probably because they have received the complete baptism in the valley, the entire spine is completely connected, and the second vein of Ren Du is completely opened, so they naturally become a standing state!"
"Speaking of which, because the minds of animals are simple, it is difficult to give birth to superfluous 'distracting thoughts' before the wisdom is truly civilized, so the influence of those small lines does not have much effect on these monkeys......
"In other words, the role of the entire canyon can be seen most intuitively on the bodies of these monkeys, who have changed from standing on all fours to standing on two legs, which is infinitely close to the form of 'humans'."
"So, that's what it means to be a human being?" Hong Bin frowned, "It's that simple?" ”
"That's right, it's that simple!" You Fang nodded again, "Standing on two legs, with an upright body, standing up to the sky and the earth, is the difference between humans and most animals!" ”
Then, he continued: "After reaching this conclusion, the rest is simple, these footprints have already given us a hint, just like 'treating yourself with sincerity' to be 'down-to-earth', the foundation of 'standing up to the sky' is also 'standing on the ground'!" ”
"And Lao Hong has tried it just now, just standing on the footprints, there will be no change in the slightest, that is to say, there must be another clue in this."
"That's why I thought of the 'Yongquan Acupoint', among the many acupoints in the human body, the 'Baihui Acupoint' corresponding to the 'Dingtian' corresponds to the 'Baihui Acupoint', and the 'Lidi' ...... Naturally, it's the 'Spring Cave'! ”
"In this way, this puzzle will be completely solved, and you only need to move on your fingers, and you can open the mechanism with a little on the 'Yongquan Point' of those two footprints!"
"I see......"
After listening to You Fang's explanation, several people nodded one after another, and they all had a sense of "suddenly connected......
At the same time, in the two hints of this puzzle, they also have their own experiences, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts that the wisdom of the strong people of the ancient predecessors.
And after sighing, suddenly, Hong Bin seemed to think of something, and then squinted his eyes and asked: "But Lao You, who is your master, not only knows such a strange aura place, but even knows the mystery in it, should he ...... It's the one who came after, right? ”
"Hehe, of course not, he's just lucky enough to enter here and learn about the puzzles here." You Fang shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Then......
"Alright, now that the puzzle is solved, let's go down and see what the hell is up there!" You Fang waved his hand, no longer stayed, and took the lead to go down.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also followed, and because it was dark below, Hong Bin raised his hands and raised two golden fires for lighting.
Soon, the group of five people all went down to the dark hole, and continued down the stairs, and immediately found that there was a stone staircase in the form of a spiral below.
"Good fellow, it's deep down here!" Hong Bin stretched out his head and looked down, and then with a movement of his mind, he threw a ball of fire down, and as the flames shone on the surface, several people also saw the depth below.
"Look at it like this, it's about 100 meters, and it's really deep enough." You Fang estimated it for a moment, and then smiled, "Baby, it's normal to hide deeply." ”
So, a few people also quickened their pace, all the way down, and in a few moments, they came to the end of the stone staircase.
"Huh? That's ......"
As soon as they walked down the stairs, everyone was stunned, because they saw that there was a square portal on the stone wall directly opposite them, which was obviously the "treasure room".
It's just that directly above the portal, I don't know who carved four big characters, which also contain deep meanings, which are - "human beings are rare"!
"It's hard to find a human body...... This seems to be a Buddhist term, right? Seeing these four words, Xia Mingyu, who had studied faith a lot, immediately spoke, "But isn't 'Ziyang Zhenren' a person from the Daomen?" ”
"Buddhist terminology?" When Hong Bin heard this, his eyes widened, and then he looked at Xia Mingyu curiously, "Then let's not care if the Buddha is not a Buddha or not, Lao Xia, tell me, what do these four words mean?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Xia Mingyu nodded, then thought about it, and then slowly spoke: "In Buddhism, the sentence 'human body is rare' has the second half of the sentence, which is 'Buddhism smells bad'. ”
"In Buddhism, only 'people' can practice Buddhism in the six realms, which is why those legendary spirits will cultivate 'human body', but the 'human body' here does not refer to a simple 'human body', but a 'full human body'!"
"As for what it means to be 'full of human life', it is actually very simple, that is, 'at least have the basic living conditions, be able to smell the Dharma, and have the time and conditions to practice the Dharma', which is already extremely rare and precious among people in the world."
"In the 442 Sutra of Miscellaneous Aham, the Buddha compares the immeasurable soil of the earth with the trace amount of soil between his fingernails to illustrate the rarity of the 'human body', which is actually a 'standard for cultivating the Buddha' formed by the combination of 'external conditions' and 'internal conditions', indicating that it is possible to practice the Buddha's path under these conditions."
"I see, it's like this...... Hong Bin nodded, and said strangely, "Then why does this Buddhist language appear here?" Could it be that the latecomer is a Buddhist? ”
"No, the charm contained in the strokes of these four words is exactly the same as those ravines, and it should be from the same person." You Fang shook his head at this time, "Besides, when cultivating to the depths of the essence, thousands of avenues are all different paths to the same end, and these four words are not only applicable to Buddhism, but also to Daomen." ”
"Hmm...... That's just as well. ”
Hearing this, Hong Bin nodded, didn't bother anymore, and walked over directly.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, the rest of the people also hurried to follow, and the five of them walked into the portal back and forth.
"Huh?"
However, as soon as he entered the door, everyone noticed that something was wrong, and Hong Bin's eyes widened even more, and he shouted: "Why is there still nothing??? ”
That's right, I saw that in this small circular stone room, there was nothing else except a rectangular, one-person sized stone platform.
"No, there's something!"
At this time, You Fang's eyes froze, looked at the stone wall opposite, and at the same time motioned to Hong Bin to make a fire in the middle of the stone room.
Then, by the light of the fire, several people quickly saw the surrounding situation clearly, and saw that the stone wall of the circular stone chamber was not empty, but was engraved with many words.
"It's ......"
It's just that when a few people took a closer look, they immediately frowned again, because most of the words on these stone walls had been erased, and they couldn't see why they were original.
Fortunately, after some exploration, they finally found a fragment of the words in a corner that had not been erased, and through the contents, they quickly identified the owner of these inscriptions!
"This method is really wonderful and more true, because I am unique from others.
Self-knowledge is reversed from the hurdle, who knows the ups and downs and settles the guest of honor.
Jin Ding wanted to keep Zhu Li mercury, and Yuchi first went into the water silver.
The fire of divine power is not the end of the night, and there is a round of deep pond day."
"This is Ziyang real person Zhang Boduan's "Seven Words, Four Rhymes, Sixteen Songs, and Four"!" Fu Chen said immediately.
"The creator here is really Ziyang Zhenren!"
"So, this is really the opportunity left by Ziyang Zhenren to future generations!" Hong Bin also immediately shouted, "But why has this been destroyed again!" ”
"Like those fine lines, destroy the ...... of these stone carvings It should be the same person. At this time, You Fang looked at the remaining words and analyzed softly.
"Looks like there's something wrong with our previous analysis, that guy didn't just want to protect the things above, because in that case, he wouldn't have to destroy this place at all, but it would be best to leave it behind!"
"Well, that's right, if he left these stone carvings behind, then the real destined people would not return empty-handed, and there would be no need to be angry with his things." Tang Yingjie also nodded in agreement.
"So what is he for? So painstakingly, just to erase the inheritance here? Xia Mingyu was puzzled.
"Perhaps, it's because that guy doesn't agree with Ziyang Zhenren's approach, the reason why he did this...... It means 'negation'! At this time, You Fang spoke again, and at the same time pointed to the top of his head.
"Huh?"
And when the rest of the people looked up, they immediately saw the five big characters engraved on the top of their heads - "Jiuqu Panhuan Cave"!
"You see, compared with the five words of 'Jiuqu Panhuan Cave' and the 'rare person' outside, it is obviously from the handwriting of two people, and it is very likely that it was left by the latecomer."
"In "Journey to the West", the "Jiuqu Panhuan Cave" corresponds to the "Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng", and the name "Yuan Sheng" has always been the title of "Zhou Gong" who has the title of "ancestor of the teacher" in ancient times, and the difficulties of the four masters and apprentices all originated from their 'accepting apprentices', so they also have the meaning of 'don't be a good teacher'!"
Speaking of this, You Fang's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and then he continued: "In this way, this guy's intention to engrave these five words is obvious......
"He is accusing Ziyang Zhenren of being a 'good teacher', and at the same time, he is also denying the ...... that Ziyang Zhenren left here All the stuff! ”
