Chapter 198 Wipe diligently
"Ao Ji, what are you going to do?!" I saw the dragon shadow flying out of the jade pendant, and shouted angrily. It was the voice of the ninth prince Ao Feng.
Ao Ji didn't expect Wuxu to inspire the jade pendant for the first time, Ao Feng actually left a doppelganger inside, in front of everyone, knowing that he couldn't move, and he didn't answer, he let out a long groan, turned around and flew towards the exit of the secret realm of the Star Sea.
Ao Feng's doppelganger, looking around, his claws shook slightly, bringing a little bit of golden light, and after silently shaking everyone, he bowed his head towards Wuxu, and then flew back into the jade pendant.
The onlookers of the Dragon Clan monks immediately flew away in all directions, and some, who seemed to be on good terms with the Ninth Prince, nodded slightly towards Wuxu, who was greeting with the Ninth Prince, and retreated with solemn faces.
It seems that the internal struggle within this dragon clan, led by the princes, is also very fierce. As soon as Wu Xuan thought of this, he immediately put this thought away. At this moment, I have to go all out to impact the realm of real people, I can't let external things distract me, if there are things, if there are thoughts, I must be like a mirror, and my thoughts will turn around. It is precisely to do what the great monk Shenxiu said back then, "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror." Always wipe diligently, don't make dust".
When the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism passed on the mantle, they asked the disciples to make a poem on the experience of cultivating Buddhism diligently, and thought it was judged. Familiar with the classics, the Theravada monk Shenxiu wrote the famous poem on the wall. And Huineng, who was working in the room at the time, casually said, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform." There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust?" Everyone applauded, and the five ancestors then passed the mantle to Huineng, which was for the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism. Later generations often like to mention the famous poem of Huineng whenever they participate in Zen and discuss the Buddha, and at the same time, most of them want to take out the famous verse of Shenxiu for comparison, emphasize emptiness, and praise the otherworldly artistic conception of Huineng's verse, but this verse of Shenxiu is faintly used as a negative teaching material, and I feel that it cannot be put on the stage, and I feel vulgar as soon as I say it.
This is really the world's lofty ambitions, blindly playing word games, and falling into the word barrier and the knowledge barrier. Zen Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment, and from this point of view, there is nothing in the first place, which is of course excellent; but how many people in the world have the wisdom root of the six ancestors, and they can hear the phrase "should have no place to live and give birth to their minds", and they will be enlightened? I am afraid that the vast majority of people still have to "wipe diligently all the time" in the course of practice, right? Moreover, in the final analysis, these are actually just two methods. "Always wipe diligently" to the back, you may also feel that "there is nothing in the first place"; Originally, nothing "reached a certain stage, and it was necessary to "wipe it diligently all the time".
This Zen public case, like an electric bubble in his heart, Wuxu took a few steps, shook his head, smiled slightly, and stretched out his right palm towards the fountain dragon head, and pressed it gently. The dragon's head immediately turned into a phantom, and the colorful auspicious clouds over the island trembled slightly, and two faint golden characters appeared in the middle - Wu Xu!
After Wuxu opened the prohibition of the island, he immediately saw that in the middle of the air in front of him, there was a bluestone platform, which was half a foot high and five meters long and wide in the clouds. On the bluestone, there are slightly convex dragon patterns, interlocking, faintly flowing with dragon breath. There is another stone door behind the bluestone platform, and the edge is hung with old rattan moss, the old vine grows over the years, absorbs a lot of aura, and there is the thickness of a wine glass, wantonly coiled around the mouth of the cave, from a distance, like a spider web.
Wuxu flew onto the bluestone platform, sat cross-legged, and his divine consciousness entered the Dharma realm, quietly inducing. After a stick of incense, the dragon patterns on the bluestone platform glow with a faint light, and gradually rise to a meter in the air on the platform, some are high and some are low, and then the light points become bright and dark, the layers are distinct, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong, giving people the feeling of modern abstract painting. But under the induction of divine consciousness, Wuxu was in the Dharma Realm, but he vaguely saw a changing picture.
In the picture, a dragon monk, with a dragon's head and a human body, meditates and cultivates on the bluestone platform. Maybe it's because it's been a long time, and the picture is a little blurry, and it feels like this person is in a deep and secluded place at the bottom of the lake.
But when he saw it, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced left and right slightly, and gently spit out a ball of blue light. The blue light seemed to be too strong, and once it appeared, the whole picture, in a few breaths, was all blue. Then, most of the cyan seemed to be sucked in by the cyan light, and the remaining small part was tightly attached to the cyan light, floating around, like a long beard, like a sharp claw, occupying three-quarters of the picture. And in the picture, the dragon monk stood in the distance behind the cyan light cluster, and his figure was even more vague under the obstruction of the ever-changing cyan in the forefront.
An hour later, Wuxu, who was sitting on the bluestone platform, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a slightly disappointed look. Inside the dragon pattern on this bluestone platform, there is a hidden exercise, called the Yin and Yang Trick of the Dragon Playing Pearl. Don't just look at the name and feel very cheesy, so you fall into the word barrier and the knowledge barrier. The so-called dragon play beads, God refers to the divine consciousness, the dragon refers to the body of the body, when the exercises are performed, the divine consciousness is divided into two, part of it is attached to the dragon clan Neidan Dragon Ball, driving the dragon ball out of the body, showing all kinds of wonderful uses, the main attack on the enemy's divine consciousness, of course, it can also hurt people's bodies, and part of them stay in the body, under the cover of the Dragon Balls, waiting for the opportunity to fight the enemy.
For the dragon clan, Inner Dan is the same as the divine sense, generally not easily exposed, with the strength of the physical body and the abundance of spiritual power, you can defeat opponents of the same level; Powerful is powerful, the power is huge, but it is a bit unsparing, desperate feeling, the creator of this exercise seems to know this, so after the dragon play bead added the word yin and yang (absolute).
Wu Xuan pondered for a while, this exercise, the dragon monk used it to fight at the end of death, it is not bad, you can hold the attitude of learning, learn from one or two. Although the cultivation of this exercise requires a strong divine sense. But there is another thing, to practice this exercise, you must sacrifice the Inner Dan Dragon Ball out of the body from time to time and be tempered by the power of the heavens and stars, so as to ensure that this exercise can be performed anytime and anywhere to the greatest extent, and at the same time exert the greatest power. Otherwise, your incomparably delicate Neidan has just been spit out, and when you are slashed like this with someone's sword, won't it immediately turn into two petals? Unless, you are already in the realm of true spirits, and Neidan has become like a magic weapon, extremely hard.
For human monks, this exercise is basically meaningless. Above the true spirit, there is no need, or it is like a chicken rib. As far as human real monks are concerned, then they have to find the same good magic weapon to replace the inner dan, but after all, the magic weapon is an external object, and it is difficult to have the mystical connection between the inner dan, divine consciousness, and physical body, and the wonderful use of all kinds of cooperation. Unless this Dharma weapon is the so-called natal Dharma weapon. However, if there is a natal weapon, the human monk will naturally use his divine sense to control the natal weapon against the enemy, and there is no need or should no longer cause trouble, and he will separate his divine sense and control a magic weapon with an average fit, which will cause chaos if it is not good.
Wuxu thought for a while, then got up and walked towards the cave behind the bluestone platform. After separating the old vine and entering, the disappointment on Wuxu's face was even more obvious. The inside is empty, and the divine sense is carefully sensitive, not to mention the perception when he is promoted to a real person, even if there is no exercise.
Wuxu planned to go around the cave and leave, looking for another place. Suddenly, the white bone sword in the Law Realm trembled slightly. The White Bone Sword is made of white bones with the meaning of annihilation, and it has a strong sense of ghosts and yin.
Wuxu stood in the most obvious place where the white bone sword trembled, looked at the moss-covered stone wall, and said secretly, "Could it be that there are still ghosts in the secret realm of the Star Sea of the Dragon Clan? Could it be that the people of the Dragon Clan have gone crazy by practicing here and become like those ghost dragons in the Dragon Pool?"
Thinking of this, Wuxu clasped his palms against the stone wall and said, "Amitabha, the little monk is a friend of Ao Feng, the ninth prince of the Dragon Palace. Senior Taoist friends, there is no need to be suspicious, if you can't leave this place, the little monk may be able to help give it a try. ”
After waiting for a while, the white bone sword in the law realm was still trembling, and the stone wall was still silent. Wuxu didn't want to make too much effort, so he turned around and left. When he was about to get out of the hole, a yin wind suddenly drifted from the cave, Wuxu turned around again, the ring finger and little finger of his left hand were bent into the palm, the index finger was bent and attached to the back of the middle finger, and the thumb was slightly bent, forming a mudra of the Emperor Shakti Protector.
Shakti is one of the important protector gods of Buddhism, the ruler of the four heavenly kings and the earthly heavens, dragons, and yakshas, and protects the east, and Tantra lists it as one of the twelve heavens.
I only heard the voice of an old man sound, "This master has just been observing the stone platform outside the cave for a long time. I don't know the yin and yang trick of the dragon playing with pearls, but you can still enter the master's eyes?"
Sure enough, there are people, and when they mention the Yin and Yang Trick of the Divine Dragon Playing Pearl, it is obvious that most of them are still from the Dragon Clan. Wu Xuan replied unhurriedly, "The little monk has seen his predecessors, and this exercise is painstaking and courageous, but it is specially created for the people of the Dragon Clan. ”
The people of the dragon clan have Neidan, and Neidan, like a physical body, is relatively strong. This kind of divine consciousness is attached to the inner dan, and the physical body, forming a combined attack technique similar to a double doppelganger, which is not only suitable for the physical divine consciousness of the dragon monks, but also conforms to the dragon clan's warlike and domineering fighting methods.
The old man who was hidden in the dark, hearing the words of Wuxu, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Old man Ao Chenghai, I haven't asked for the name of the master yet, where is the sect?"
After Wu falsely reported his name, he was slightly stunned and reported the name of a Dharma Realm Temple. Then he said, "Senior Ao, why don't you show up and see it? The little monk has no ill will towards ghost cultivation. ”
The old man who called himself Ao Chenghai had a faint voice, like a candle in the wind, "The old man Nedan is in the stone wall where the master is standing. Old man, my body has been lost for a long time, and the remnant soul is in the inner dan, and I have been in a state of comatose and suspended death for a long time, and I have lost my will for a long time. ”
The old man spoke intermittently, but Wuxu understood. If it weren't for the White Bone Sword in his own Law Realm, which generated an induction and the meaning of extinction, the remnant soul of this old man in the Inner Dan was stimulated by a strong death threat, and I am afraid that he would have "fallen asleep".
This is also when Ao Chenghai was awakened by the extinction intention of Wuxu White Bone Sword, and he didn't feel Wuxu's killing intent, otherwise he wouldn't have screamed to stop Wuxu.
Wuxu suddenly recalled the time when he had just observed the yin and yang trick of the dragon playing with pearls, and it seemed that at the end of the picture, at the end of a mantra, the person who signed it was Ao Chenghai. Hurriedly asked, "Isn't the senior who created the Yin and Yang Technique of the Divine Dragon Playing Pearl?"
"Yes!" the old man was slightly reserved, as if he was quite proud, and then said gloomily, "But the old man did this because of this exercise that day, so that his body exploded, and the remnant soul hid in the inner pill to survive. ”
Wuxu pondered for a moment, "The little monk previously observed the Yin and Yang Technique of the Divine Dragon Playing Beads, although the Inner Dan needs to be tempered by the power of the heavens and stars, which is a bit dangerous, but it doesn't seem to cause the physical body to explode?"
"It's a long story. Ao Chenghai let out a long sigh.
It turned out that Ao Chenghai, when he first entered the secret realm of the Star Sea, also wanted to be promoted to the realm of real people. The so-called transformation from mortal dust to real people, whether it is a demon cultivator or a human monk, is to break the barrier of the sea of knowledge, so that the spiritual energy can enter the sea of consciousness through the physical body, so that the divine consciousness can be directly nourished and strengthened by the spiritual temperature, instead of being like the realm of mortal dust, the spiritual energy is condensed into spiritual power by the physical body, and then indirectly supports the operation of the divine consciousness.
At the beginning, when Ao Chenghai hit the realm of real people, an inner pill continuously conveyed mellow spiritual power, and under the traction of divine consciousness, it carefully impacted the barrier of the sea of knowledge. Who knew that the dragon clan's physique was abnormal, and this sea barrier was also unusually strong and thick. Later, Ao Chenghai directly spewed Neidan out of his body, absorbing the more violent star power of the heavens, in an attempt to break through the barrier of knowing the sea. In this dangerous process, Ao Chenghai, who has a very high understanding, created the yin and yang trick of the dragon and the pearl.
After Ao Chenghai created this exercise, he was overjoyed, so he temporarily stopped impacting the realm of real people, spent several months, and finally perfected this exercise on the bluestone platform, and stayed in the dragon pattern of the stone platform. This is exactly what Wuxu observed before.
When Ao Chenghai was complacent, he walked into the cave again with confidence, and finally got his wish, almost when he was done, the aura in the inner tank was mottled and manic with a trace of star power, after entering the sea of knowledge, it raged everywhere, and the sea of knowledge seemed to blow a twelve-level typhoon, and it seemed to pour a spoonful of hot oil into it. At the last moment, part of Ao Chenghai's divine consciousness was attached to the inner pill and flew out, and then, the physical body exploded with the part of the divine consciousness that had not had time to fly out.
Ao Chenghai tells this scene, but he is very serious and careful, and sometimes, combined with the perception of his predecessors who have been promoted to the realm of real people, interspersed with some of his own comments and summaries of himself. Wu Xuan knows that these are all comments and summaries, which are extremely precious to me who is about to impact the realm of real people, and there are inspirations and precautions, which can make my next retreat impact a little more sure and safe.
These things, if it weren't for the inheritance of master and apprentice or the friendship of life, who would tell you? Wu Xuan listened, and then clasped his palms together and thanked him, "Amitabha, according to what the predecessors said, the predecessors are now trapped in their own inner pills, trapped in the small island cave here. The little monk is not talented, and his cultivation is low, but he can take his predecessors out and re-cultivate the ghost path. Then he turned what he saw in Longtan, and now the situation in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and Ao Chenghai listened.
Ao Chenghai's side was silent for a moment, and then his voice sounded again, "The old man talked too much before, and he was about to lose his support, and he was going to fall asleep again." Right now, after the old man begged the master to be promoted to a real person, he came here to take the old man out of the secret realm of the Star Sea and send him to Xiaolong Mountain in the East China Sea. ”
Isn't Ao Qing from Xiaolong Mountain? Could it be that this Ao Chenghai and Ao Qing are from the same family? Wuxu immediately asked questions, but there was no response, obviously Ao Chenghai could not support it, and fell asleep again.
Wuxu walked to the stone wall that Fang Cai was facing, looked carefully, and found that there was a very small bulge on the stone wall, and gently wiped off the moss covering it with his fingers, and a colorful arc appeared in front of him.
Wuxu restored everything, folded his palms and bowed, and then walked out of the cave and flew away from the island.
"Now take Ao Cheng Hai Neidan to Naxiaolong Mountain, I don't know what branches to be born, or as he said, I will impact the real human realm first. Wu Xu, while flying, looking for those uninhabited islands with a real human atmosphere, while thinking, finally, took out the jade pendant that Ao Feng handed over to him, and informed Ao Feng's clone about Fang Cai. In this way, it is the failure of his impact on the real person at that time, and in case of accidents, when Ao Feng enters the secret realm of the Star Sea, he will also know the existence of Ao Chenghai from this jade pendant.
Receive the favor of others, and repay it when the spring springs. What's more, it is to tell you the insights and lessons that impact the realm of real people?
The secret realm of the sea of stars is not small, and it is not particularly big, Wuxu flew for a day and a night, but it has already made the secret realm a radius of 18,000 miles, and more than 200 islands of all sizes, all of which have been checked, and there are people in nine out of ten. More than ten times, it was still like meeting Ao Ji, who was swished from behind, took the first step, and took possession. Not to mention an island with a real human atmosphere.
Why did the Xinghai Secret Realm put so many people in at once, could it be that the situation on the other side of Lushan had changed, and the old dragon king was forming a reserve team?
Wuxu was a little sullen, but he didn't have a good seizure, standing alone on the sea, looking at the heavens and stars hanging down through a layer of transparent enchantment, silent.
At this time, two dragon monks, both human and dressed in jade robes, slowly flew over and invited Wuxu to go to the nearby island where the two of them had settled. Wu Xuan knew that these two people were the people who expressed kindness to themselves after Ao Ji flew away and Ao Feng's clone shocked the Quartet. After a little hesitation, he followed the two to a small island ten miles to the southeast.
After entering the pavilion on the island, Wuxu greeted the two of them for a while, and then asked about the changes in the secret realm of the Star Sea, and the two looked at each other and replied, "We originally invited the master to this Luoshan Island for this matter." Previously, on that Qingyan Island, although the fourth prince Ao Ji was blocked by the ninth prince, he was jealous, so he sent many people to re-enter the secret realm of the Star Sea, and occupied many islands, especially those where real monks stopped. ”
"I see!" Wuxu took a sip of the tea from Roshan Island, nodded, and said no more.
The two of them, seeing that Wuxu seemed to be extremely angry, did not move, so they said again, "The two of us belong to the Ninth Prince's lineage, and now the master, as the guest of honor of the Ninth Prince, is secretly hindered by the Fourth Prince's cadres, and is discussing to contact friends in the secret realm, fight with them, and give the master an outlet of evil anger." ”
But he saw Wuxu sitting on the stone bench, his expression calm, he closed his eyes and pondered, and he was silent for a long time, and only after a while did he speak, "Amitabha, a monk, has nothing to ask for in the world, is compassionate, and there is no need to move those hatred and killing thoughts. I don't know if any of the two Taoist friends and their friends have the island where the real monk has stayed? If so, the little monk is willing to exchange a heavy reward. ”
Most of the people of the dragon clan are brave and aggressive, and they often draw their swords against each other when they disagree. Wuxu's attitude, in the eyes of those two, is tantamount to being too weak and without the demeanor of a master. But I didn't know that as soon as Wuxu entered the secret realm of the Star Sea, in order to impact the realm of real people, he had been adjusting his mentality, constricting his mind, and always wanted to "be a Bodhi tree, and his heart is like a mirror." Always wipe diligently, don't make dust".
When cultivating the Dharma of Buddhism and advancing to the realm, if we still have many distracting thoughts in our hearts, and we have greedy, hateful, and murderous thoughts, how can we succeed in advancing to the higher ranks? We must always devote ourselves to the Buddha, have righteous thoughts, have a clear mind, do not break the vows, do not touch the meaningless cause and effect, and although we walk around, we are in retreat everywhere, and we are always in meditation when we are dealing with people and things. With such sincerity and humility, walking on thin ice, it is possible to impact the success of the real realm.
When the ancients encountered major events, or sacrifices, or divination, or were summoned by the Son of Heaven, they had to fast and bathe, and this is also the truth.
Sincerity is spirituality.
Not only that, Wu Xuan has gone through ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, and there is no one who can become an immortal and attain the Tao, or who is supported by gods and Buddhas, who does not have righteous beliefs and righteous thoughts, and is strict with himself. Even if the legend of the dragon descending Arhat and the like of madness, although words and deeds are debauched, wine and meat are not taboo, but after all, it is inseparable from the sentence "Buddha sits in the heart".
In Wuxu's previous life, every time I saw some online novels, it was written that so-and-so made the so-called killing decision in order to understand his thoughts, and he swung down with a sword, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and so-and-so held a sword to the sky and shouted loudly, "My life is up to me, God is blocking and killing God, and Buddha is blocking and killing Buddha." "They all scoffed, only felt that the poison was very deep, and they only cared about making some young whites look sour and sour, and they saw the climax one after another, but in fact, they misled people and ruined their three views.
If you wantonly kill people, you will have a clear mind, that is to enter the demon, although the people in the demon sect can also soar, but there are too many killings, under the trouble of the demon barrier, the probability is very small, and it is to go to the demon world, which can be regarded as an eternal fall into the sea of suffering. Although my fate is determined by me and not by heaven, it must be caused by cause and effect, with restrictions and laws of one kind or another. Otherwise, if you have a life, everyone else will die!
When Wuxu entered the secret realm of the Star Sea, he was very careful, and he always paid attention to mindfulness, unmoving, and respecting cause and effect. Ao Ji was trapped on Qingyan Island before, and he meditated and comprehended Buddhism, which is the case; Ao Ji flew out and killed the killer, but he also avoided it, and sacrificed the jade pendant that Ao Feng handed over to him, which is the case; when he encountered a ghost cultivator, he asked out loud and did not answer, and left on his own, which is the same; although Ao Chenghai asked for something, he was desperate to tell his experience and understanding of the impact of the real human realm, and he was grateful, and he took the initiative to promise to help him get out of the predicament, and the same is true; and so the two of them on Luoshan Island wanted to find someone to fight with the Ninth Prince, vent their evil anger for themselves, and stop them by their own words, and the same is true。
From a certain point of view, how can all of the above be the various tests and demonic obstacles that we face in our own cultivation and before we advance to the realm of real people? It is difficult to be a human being, it is difficult to be a human being, and it is difficult to cultivate the Tao, and it is difficult to cultivate the Tao.
And when he activated the ban in Ao Ji and sealed the island, he sat on the spot, thought quietly, and experienced the magic of the vacuum in the Dharma Realm, manifested the futon wooden fish incense burner, and had all kinds of incredible uses;
There are all kinds of unspeakable causes and effects. If you don't really pursue the Dao, how can you feel it and believe it?
That's right
The body is like a mirror, and the dust is quiet.
If you want to become a real person, you must first seek the truth, and don't stop wiping from time to time.
