Chapter 112: Suppressing the Demon of One Foot with the Way of One Foot
Ji Xiao asked, "What is the content of the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"The content of the Heavenly Tribulation has always been different from person to person, and if it were you, I guess it should be related to lust. "Heavenly Book said.
Ji Xiao said: "Lust?"
Tianshu said: "I know that you have never been keen on the cultivation of breaking off emotions and desires, but it makes sense if you exist, and the popularity of this kind of cultivation is really related to the harm of lust to cultivation. As for what's harmful, I think you're well aware. ”
Ji Xiao nodded and said, "But I have always been able to overcome those drawbacks. ”
Tianshu said: "I did think at first that you would be able to overcome the disadvantages brought to you by lust, but now I have a different opinion on this, Ji Xiao, you have not touched your true feelings. ”
Ji Xiao said: "You are wrong, I have." ”
He thought of Gu Weirui and Ji Sheng, and Ji Xiao thought that he had given real emotions to both of them.
Tianshu said: "Although I have no emotion, but true feelings will make people forget their lives, put everything aside, don't ask the rest, you ask yourself, you can really do this." ”
Ji Xiao couldn't help but groan, and finally sighed: "No." ”
Tianshu said: "The Heavenly Tribulation is aimed at the weakness of the cultivator himself, you ask yourself to be affectionate, but you do not have the true feelings, if you want to be ruthless, but it is not what you want, so you can only wander between the two, neither enter, nor retreat, if you can't pass this level, you will always be trapped in it." ”
Ji Yu said: "Can't I break the void with my strength and return to where you are?"
Tianshu said: "The Tao is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, you should have heard of it, the Heavenly Tribulation is like this." Unless you are truly enlightened and can subdue the demon of one foot with one foot, you will never be able to break through this world with your own strength. ”
Ji Yu said: "I roughly understand, but how do you know so much about the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Tianshu said: "Because the Heavenly and Human Tribulation was created by the previous 'me'. ”
Ji Xiao couldn't help but want to curse, but he still held back, and he continued to ask: "Since you have created the Heavenly and Human Tribulation, don't you leave any back door?"
To be honest, he doesn't have much leisure to spend any heavenly and human tribulations, and the Book of Heaven also said that the heavenly and human tribulations are not something that everyone has to experience.
"I'm missing some memories of the Celestial Tribulation, so I don't know if there is one, so it's better for you to just find a way to survive the Celestial Tribulation. "Heavenly Book said.
"Then what use are you?" Hearing Tianshu's answer, Ji Xiao directly lost his breath.
Tianshu said: "Yes, I can record your experience of crossing the tribulation, maybe I can summarize something useful." ”
Ji Xiao said: "You still don't record." ”
"Well, you don't want me to spy on you, so that's fine, I'll be here to recuperate, waiting for you to come back. "Heavenly Book said.
Ji Xiao said: "By the way, how did you get hurt?"
Tianshu said: "Because of the Huangquan Sect Master, he is already getting more and more dangerous, fortunately, you are experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation, you should be able to compete with him after you go out, otherwise we may be greatly threatened." And there is also bad news for you, our way back to the time and space of the Mountain and Sea Realm has been cut off. ”
"What?" Ji Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.
Tianshu said: "Someone has truncated the eons, we don't want to go back and we can go back, so we have no way out." ”
Ji Xiao said: "No wonder you said that we may be greatly threatened, this matter is not urgent, anyway, I am still in the catastrophe." ”
Tianshu said: "When you want to contact me, just remember me silently in your heart, and I can feel it." ”
After it finished speaking, Ji Yu could immediately sense that Tianshu had cut off contact with him.
Knowing that Tianshu was fine, Ji Xiao was still very happy, but he was not very happy when he remembered that he was now spending this inexplicable heavenly and human tribulation, and the culprit was Tianshu.
But the matter has come to this, Ji Xiao is too lazy to complain.
He began to think carefully about this catastrophe.
The Book of Heaven said that his calamity was related to lust, and he proposed that the matter of "true love" was by no means untargeted, but it was only in the end, I am afraid that it will not be known until the time.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Open the door. ”
Then two little novices entered.
It turned out that tomorrow Ji would have to go down the mountain to say the word, so the two novices asked what they needed to prepare.
It is said to be a preparation, but in fact, it is to bring some rice, flour and dry food down the mountain to relieve the poor people.
Ji Xiao didn't give much instructions, and directly asked them to follow the precedent.
...
...
A carriage drove slowly on the official road, and Ji Xiao sat calmly inside. The carriage of the carriage is very large and comfortable, which was specially built by a certain prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty capital city by a clever craftsman, and it is very comfortable.
Whether it was the original palpitations or the current Ji Xiao, they are not the kind of people who like to endure hardships, so they accepted the kindness.
Moreover, as the host of Tianyin Temple, he wants to promote Buddhism, if he is cold, he will inevitably be questioned, and he can't show Buddhism everywhere he goes, so that people can worship. What's more, the people of the world are ignorant, and when they see luxurious and extravagant things, they are easy to be in awe, so Buddhism repairs the floating temple, builds treasure temples, and promotes Buddhism, which mostly captures the psychology of the world.
Soon approached the city, and the howling outside reached Ji Xiao's ears.
Shami, who was driving the carriage, leaned into the curtain of the carriage and reported: "Abbot, there are many refugees gathered outside the city, should we go down and see the situation?" ”
Ji Xiao nodded and said, "Go down." ”
He thought to himself that since his calamity was related to lust, it was natural to contact people more.
But later, he realized that he had misjudged and that the key to his catastrophe was not people.
...
...
This city is called Jiangcheng, and it is the front line of the Southern Tang Dynasty against the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Not long ago, a big war brought many people out of the way, and although the Jin army retreated, the refugees left behind became a headache for the local government.
Refugees gather, deaths, plagues, and hunger are common problems, and the ugliness of human nature is also revealed at this time due to lack of food.
For a nest head or a bowl of porridge with no grains of rice visible, it will cause several people to scramble, fight, and even break the head.
Obviously, this kind of thing is commonplace for both novices.
They skillfully removed the pergola from the storage utensils and stacked bags full of steamed buns and rice noodles.
After getting Ji Xiao's permission, he began to distribute steamed buns and rice noodles to help refugees.
When every refugee comes to pick up the steamed buns, the novice will take the trouble to ask, "Do you know who made the steamed buns and rice noodles?"
If the refugees didn't know, Shami said, "This is from the abbot of Feilaifeng Tianyin Temple, the Zen Master of the Palpitations." ”
This is the unwritten rule of Tianyin Temple, at the beginning of a monk asked, why the temple does good, but also add such a clause, it really seems utilitarian.
At that time, the senior monks in the temple replied: "The world pursues profit, and if there is no reward for doing good, there will be fewer people who are willing to do good." Therefore, it is a guide for the world, not a family. ”
This story has also spread in the world, so if someone ridicules Tianyin Temple for doing good deeds and inviting fame, some people will use this story to scold him.
