The moment he stepped out of the Heavenly King Palace, Shen Chaixing felt that he had stepped out of his original world, and the endless true qi in his body was like a docile kitten crawling in a quiet corner of his body at the moment, but he felt that he could turn into a fierce tiger and leopard at any time, and the pleasure generated by the true qi violently sweeping the three hundred and sixty acupoints of his body just now still made him excited. Full of strength, that kind of strong self-confidence from the body made him can't help but want to look up to the sky and roar, Shen Chaixing was surprised and delighted, afraid that he couldn't control this power, forcibly suppressed his true qi, and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

The main hall is wide and majestic, and the Buddha sits in the middle, smiling with flowers. Shen Chaixing's heart suddenly felt calm, and a faint joy was born from the bottom of his heart. After worshipping the Buddha and walking out of the main hall, he smiled, and there was no impulse or trouble in his heart. In addition to joy and peace, there is also a sense of seeing through in the heart. I feel that if I can calm down and look at it with my heart, I may be able to see through everything, including myself.

Behind the main hall there are several bungalows, a few monks are sweeping the courtyard, and a little further away there is a winding path that leads to the top of the mountain. Shen Chaixing walked away and walked straight to the hiking path, and the monks around him looked at him as if they hadn't seen him, and just lowered their heads and swept the floor.

Shen Chaixing walked up the steps along the path, all the way to the west, all the way was full of emerald green bamboo, covering the sky and the sun, the breeze blowing, rustling, really cool. On the way, there is another path leading to the depths of the bamboo forest, where several bamboo huts can be faintly concealed. Shen Chasing Xing is still heading west.

After walking about half a tea hour, the eyes suddenly opened, all the lush forests and bamboos were abruptly stopped, in front of which was a cliff and cliff, not far away, under the vast sky, a big river meandered, as if coming from the sky, so far to turn and go north, and then roll to the east to rush away, like thousands of troops, unstoppable. A tall, white-robed monk stands with his back to him, his hands in his hands, and his eyes are far away. Shen Chaixing stepped forward slowly and stood beside him.

After a long time, the monk seemed to withdraw from the world he was immersed in, and sighed: "The ancient name of this mountain is Stone City, when the Three Kingdoms were first divided, Zhuge Liang came here for the alliance of Wu and Wei Dynasty, and when he saw the situation here, he sighed and said: "Zhongfu Longpan, Shicheng Tiger Standing, True Emperor's Mansion also!" Zhongfu is the Zhongshan in the east, Shicheng is this mountain, at that time the Yangtze River is close to the southwest foot of Shishan, the river water impact and beating, forming a cliff, becoming a natural barrier to prevent the north enemy from crossing to the south. Stone Town guards this great city like a tiger. However, time has passed, and since the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River has migrated westward, and the majesty is no longer there. Stone Town also lost its strategic significance in holding the riverbank. In the fifth dynasty, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, built a summer palace here, and then changed its name to Qingliang Mountain. Now, however, the scene of the surging river and the waves crashing against the rocky shore is gone, and only the towering cliffs stand alone. The vicissitudes of life, nothing else. As he spoke, he turned to look at Shen Chaixing and said with a smile: "Xing'er, do you say that there is anything in this world that is eternal and unchanging?"

Shen Chaixing was not surprised that this monk knew his name, because he also guessed the identity of the other party - Zen master Ji Tan Zongxi. He pondered for a while, and then looked at the end of the sky and slowly said four words: "Constant, Daoye!"

Ji Tan Zongxi laughed when he heard this, "You can talk about it!" After that, he took Shen Chaixing's hand and returned to the bamboo forest.

Shen Chaixing followed Ji Tan Zongxi to an exquisite bamboo forest cottage. In front of the door, a small novice was making tea around the hearth. The bamboo hut is quite spacious, but there is no long thing, only a guqin, a coffee table, and two futons.

Ji Tan Zongxi invited Shen Chaixing to sit cross-legged on the futon opposite, and at this time, Xiao Shami served new tea, which was immediately fragrant. Ji Tan Zong Xixian was very satisfied with this tea, and personally brewed it for Shen Chaixing, saying: "There are two treasures in this bamboo forest, one of which is wild bamboo tea. This tea is only grown among wild bamboo forests and is extremely rare. Its appearance is similar to that of small bamboo leaves, and it is not easy to notice. And the picking time can only be within seven days before and after Qingming, too early is light and tasteless, late is like old bamboo. Its leaves are straight and slightly flattened, the shape is like an orchid, the color is emerald green, the white is exposed, the leaf buds are like gold inlaid with blue sheaths, and the silver arrow is wrapped inside, which is very pleasant. After brewing, the fragrance is high and persistent. The taste is fresh, after drinking, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet and vibrant. The bottom of the leaves is tender and green, and the buds and leaves are recognizable. ”

Shen Chasing the astrolabe sat on the futon, while sipping tea, while listening to Ji Tan Zongxi's eloquent talk, not only did not have the slightest feeling of impatience, but felt calm and comfortable, and felt a kind of joy of "life" in his heart. It's subtle and unspeakable.

Then, Ji Tan Zongxi seemed to remember something interesting, and said with a smile: "After Xi Yingzhen's old Taoist tasted this tea last year, he was full of praise and asked for some back, saying that he wanted to brew it with the second spring water in the world in Baishiwu, Huishan, Wuxi. When I came here a few days ago, I said that it didn't taste as good as the tea I tasted here, why did you say?"

Shen Chaixing said: "That must be related to the second treasure here." ”

Ji Tan Zongxi smiled: "Yes, but so. There is an ancient well here, which was dug by the Southern Tang Dynasty in the third year of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and is called Baoda Spring. The old monk in the temple drinks this water without growing white hair, also known as the spring of returning to the sun. Use this water to make this tea, and you can get the real taste!"

At this time, it was just noon, and the two chatted while drinking tea, like a pair of old friends who had known each other for many years. Although Ji Tan Zongxi only mentioned some trivial things in the world, he was full of witty words, and his head was the Tao. But Shen Chaixing felt that the words were mysterious, and every word was beautiful, and he nodded frequently. In the meantime, the two talked about the problems of "being", "nothing" and "emptiness", and suddenly Shen Chaixing's heart moved, remembering that his internal qi always came and went, although he felt that his internal qi was full at present, he still couldn't control it, and he wanted to have something to do with it, so he hurriedly asked Ji Tan Zongxi and said: "I have seen the great Wuxiang Gong given by the master, and there was a section of "Heart Sutra" before, knowing that the nature of everything is empty, please consult the master, is emptiness nothing?"

Zong Xi said: "It's not nothing!"

Shen Chaixing asked, "Is there an empty space?"

Zong Xi said: "Definitely!"

"Non-existence, non-non-existence, non-existence, non-existence, non-existence, non-non-existence•••••• Shen Chaixing suddenly fell into deep contemplation, and unconsciously entered the so-called "meditation" state of Buddhism.

I don't know how long it took, as if a light shone from the endless void, this light was never dazzling, extremely soft, shining on his heart, Shen Chaixing felt that he saw his heart beating "fluttering, fluttering", and then, the beam of light became bigger and bigger, his internal organs were also illuminated, becoming transparent, and finally the whole body became crystal clear, Shen Chaixing suddenly realized, that is an unspeakable state and truth, "non-existence, non-nothing" is just "the finger of the moon"!

Thinking about the reasoning, Shen Chaixing was suddenly full of joy, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "I understand!" But no one around responded, the ear chakra came from the frog singing insects, there was only a light like a bean on the coffee table in front of him, and it was pitch black outside the house, it turned out that I don't know when, the night was already deep.
