Chapter Twenty-Four: The Middle Realm of Epiphany
After a long time, Bai Fan was the first to break the silence, coughing lightly and said with concern.
"Third Senior Brother, are you alright......"
Although the stone's words were very muddy, Bai Fan noticed the injury on the stone at this time, and even Bai Fan couldn't help frowning when he saw the injury. I saw that on the sturdy body of the third senior brother, there were no traces of blood that were not covered with subtle blood marks, and the blood penetrated the skin, and I could already see the meridians of the Dao stones, and many places were broken. And that's not even counting the spiky bones of the stone, which were bloody and sticky with flesh.
And that is, the third senior brother is in strong health, if it is replaced by himself, he is so seriously injured, I am afraid that even the Rejuvenation Pill will not be able to save his life. Bai Fan suddenly felt a little afraid, if he didn't show up, or if he appeared later, would he still be able to save the third senior brother?
"Hey, it's you, junior brother...... , Oh, come and hug the third senior brother, I'm almost never going to see you again, hug ...... Hug ............"
Just when Bai Fan was thinking nonsense, Shi opened his mouth and said stupidly to Bai Fan with his big hands stretched out with a fan, that look is really heartless, but for some reason, Bai Fan feels extremely kind.
"Hehe, senior brother, you are so seriously injured, why don't you leave this hug in the future......" Bai Fan picked up the stone with a smile. Stone suddenly smirked.
"Hey, hey, yes, it's very painful, alas, it's all to blame on the old guy, if you ask me to practice some bullshit mountain viewing technique, otherwise I can be bullied by that mountain Nian like this, hum, I must settle this account with him when I go back......"
This is good, before Bai Fan could ask, he himself took the bottom first, as smart as Bai Fan, and when he heard it, he thought of the strange fog before.
"Mountain Viewing ......Technique?" Bai Fan moved his gaze, and then asked lightly at the stone.
"Third Senior Brother, can you tell me what exactly happened just now? ”
In fact, Bai Fan didn't understand, his behavior was listed as a taboo behavior in the cultivation world, and the monk was most disgusted by others exploring the secrets of cultivation, because the truth of some secrets could only be limited to himself, and the more people who knew it, the more dangerous it would be.
Fortunately, Bai Fan didn't know about this, and the stone didn't know either, naturally, the stone would not hide it, so he told Bai Fan the whole thing from beginning to end, and he didn't hide it.
After Bai Fan heard this, it was as if a door had opened in front of him in an instant, and everything he said about the stone in his heart suddenly had an inexplicable epiphany.
"Maybe it's not that the bodhichitta is difficult to understand, it's that I'm on the wrong path from the beginning. Third Senior Brother...... Thank you......" Bai Fan said gratefully to the stone.
"Ah?......h
Bai Fan said with a smile: "Hehe, Senior Brother don't have to wonder, it is precisely because of your description that it has played a vital role in the cultivation of Senior Brother, so Senior Brother will say so." Bai Fan was also very helpless, because even he didn't know how to explain it to the simple-minded third senior brother.
"Oh, it turns out that I helped the little junior brother, hehe, that's good, that's good......" Although he couldn't understand Bai Fan's words, Shi Shi still said happily. To tell the truth, Bai Fan is really a little envious of stones, don't look at stones stupidly, but he lives happier than ordinary people, which even he can't do. After thinking about it, Bai Fan helped the third senior brother and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
......
The time changed, and it was late at night, in Bai Fan's room in Tianxin Lake, Bai Fan was sitting on the bed with clear eyes. In front of him, there was a broken jade slip that recorded the Bodhicitta Sutra, exuding a faint Buddha light. Looking at this Jane, Bai Fan's eyes showed contemplation.
"Viewing the mountain, practicing the secret art of the body, focusing on the view, taking the soul as the goal, with a special trajectory, penetrating the appearance of the mountains and rivers, reaching the realm of its thoughts, and passing through its souls, it is regarded as the art of ...... thoughts"
This is the cultivation method that the third senior brother told him about the mountain viewing technique, and the master also said that when he first practiced this scripture, he had seen a kind of mental power left in the jade slip, and he was able to cultivate successfully. So is this thought like the thought of mountains and rivers? Can I practice the Bodhichitta Sutra with the help of mountain viewing?
The reason why Bai Fan was not sure whether this method was feasible was because the Venerable Tiger Roar had only appeared after understanding some of the words recorded in the ancient scriptures. Obviously, this has to be summed up in the fact that the master has a relationship with the Buddha. However, now, this scripture is in his own hands, and although he can recognize all the words recorded in the ancient scriptures, those words seem to not know him, and he can't find any sense of enlightenment. If it weren't for the fear of disappointment from the master, after failing to comprehend this sutra before, Bai Fan would have thought that he wanted to return this sutra. But in the end, Bai Fan couldn't bear it, as a disciple of Shizun, he couldn't inherit his method, Bai Fan always felt that he would be ashamed of Shizun.
It wasn't until the advent of the mountain contemplation technique that Bai Fan had an idea in his mind, since it was the same thought, could it be viewed with this technique? At first, this was just a possible idea, but just now, after he failed to realize the Bodhicitta Sutra again, this idea became the last method.
"Well, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, at most it is just to disappoint the master, and for me, even if I don't inherit the inheritance of the master, I will never betray the master, so let's do it......"
Looking at the Bodhicitta Sutra, Bai Fan made a decision in his eyes, and immediately communicated his soul silently according to the practice method of mountain viewing technique transmitted by the stone.
I have to say that this technique is actually not that simple. You know, 'The soul is the most secret part of the monk, and unlike the physical body, it has no substance.
Second, the divine soul is very deeply hidden, almost without a trace, even if the divine soul of a monk, before becoming the sea of knowledge, it is difficult to find it.
And Bai Fan's cultivation now is just asking the ninefold state of mind, and there is still a distance from condensing the sea of knowledge. If it is said according to common sense, if you ask the ninefold state of mind, the divine soul is equivalent to a mortal, even if it is slightly stronger than a mortal, but the strength is limited, but don't forget, Bai Fan has cultivated the ancient scriptures of mountains and seas, and the magic of this scripture is enough to seize the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of the sun and the moon......
It is the supreme power of heaven and earth such as the Tai Shen Holy Ancestor, and there has also been a trace of covetousness for this sutra, which shows how extraordinary its existence is.
At least, it can allow Bai Fan's soul to evolve when he asks the ninefold state of mind, and when it comes to the degree of condensation, it will surpass some Tongyun monks, if the strong people in the cultivation world know about it, they will definitely identify Bai Fan as a demon......
If it weren't for this, Bai Fan would not have had the confidence to practice this Bodhicitta Sutra through the Mountain Viewing Technique.
And according to the records of mountain viewing, finding the divine soul is only the first step, and the next step is to completely integrate the divine soul into the eyes, and replace it, and finally turn into the eyes of the divine soul.
Only in this way can we use the method of contemplation to penetrate the appearance of things and penetrate deep into their hidden realms of thought.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the existence of thought, in ancient times, the reason why there was a method of thinking through thought is because "thought" is a unique life, although it is also a life, but unlike the life of living beings, it exists in another space, and this space is called the realm within the realm in the cultivation world......
When it comes to the realm within the realm, its existence belongs to both heaven and earth, but it does not belong to heaven and earth, you can understand that it is a parallel overlapping space with normal heaven and earth, although it coexists in a carrier, but there are two rules, for example, it is like a conjoined child, although at the same time on the same body, but their respective thoughts are independent, this is the origin of the realm within the world, it is separated from heaven and earth by a layer of paper-like rules, it is this layer of rules that restricts the activities of the thoughts of all things, otherwise if the power of the mind is allowed to rage, the heaven and the earth will inevitably be destroyed everywhere。
However, although this rule cannot be crossed by recitation, the monk's soul can travel for a short time, of course, this shuttle is not a random shuttle, but requires a specific method, and this method is the method of general thought. And this method can also lead the thought of all things to descend on heaven and earth, of course, this advent, not wantonly advent, but has the limitation of time and distance, once the limit is exceeded, the rules of heaven and earth will be perceived, and the first time it will be destroyed, which is why the mountain thought ignores Bai Fan, because it feels that the rules of heaven and earth are coming quickly, knowing that if it does not retreat, it will soon be destroyed, I have to say that many of the magic of the mind is still unknown......
At this moment, Bai Fan was controlling the divine soul, according to the mysterious way recorded in the mountain viewing technique, a little bit into the pupils, it was very difficult at first, and as the fifty percent of the divine souls gradually slowly entered the eyes, the remaining fifty percent of the divine souls seemed to be uncontrollable, and with only one breath, they all poured into the pupils.
Moment......
Bai Fan's body shook, and then he saw an unimaginable picture, only to see his soul, somehow out of his eyes, stepped into a barrier full of arcs, and finally stepped into a space that was out of place in his perception.
Here he saw a pale golden mist, different from the thought of the mountain peak, which had signs of life and could wander freely, but this mist was like a dead thing, stuck in place and motionless. However, Bai Fan can still be sure that the fluctuations it emits are the same as the thoughts of the mountain peaks, it can be accurately said that this mist is thoughts, but this thought is different, like death.
Will Nian also die? This scene made Bai Fan's soul show a little disappointment, but before he knew it, he didn't even notice it, and the pale golden mist had quietly revealed a gap at some point, like the mouth of a demon beast, aimed at Bai Fan's soul, and in the next breath, the mist rolled, and then Bai Fan's soul fell into the gap.
