Volume 1 The East Border Folk School Chapter 43 The Four Classics
Dugu Ni thought for a while, and Zhengse said: "In my opinion, whether it is cultivating martial arts, cultivating immortals, cultivating spirits, cultivating life, cultivating demons, or cultivating the heart, there is no high or low right or wrong. There is no right or wrong way to bring us the power that monasticism brings to us, it just depends on how we use it. Use it righteously, use it evilly. If the mental power and spells of cultivating the mind can hurt people's minds, then can't the internal strength and martial arts of the martial arts take people's lives? Isn't the spiritual power and spiritual skills of the spiritual path also capable of destroying the heavens and the earth?"
Fang Wutong seemed to be shocked by Dugu Nie's earnest statement, and his tears stopped, and asked, "Daddy has said something similar, do you really see it that way?"
Dugu Ni nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know if what I'm saying now is right, but I think that as long as we can be loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, wise, and courageous, then strength is not a terrible thing, not to hurt people, but to protect!"
Fang Wutong burst into tears and laughed, and said: "You are the saying of martial arts, the saying of our heart and the way, is to be able to see clearly, to truly recognize yourself, in order to be at ease, to be able to attain the Tao, in order to help people in the world to achieve the Tao." ”
Dugu Ni thought about it and said uncertainly: "In my understanding, what martial arts say is what is close to the body, and when the heart is tempted. In other words, with great power comes great responsibility. Be able to be responsible for yourself, and then think about how to be responsible for more people and more things. And our hearts should also focus on the present, not the distant future. ”
Dugu Nie paused and said: "And the way of the heart that I understand seems to be constantly knowing my own heart, trying to understand and understand many things, in order to be at ease, and to pass on this kind of Tao to the people of the world, right?"
Fang Wutong seemed to start thinking about it, and said, "I don't know very well, but I think you seem to understand it more clearly than I do." ”
Dugu Ni fell into deep thought, and secretly made a comparison in his heart: "What is pursued in the forgetfulness of one of the immortal paths is not to be burdened by the seven emotions and six desires, but to realize the truth that heaven and earth are ruthless and all things are one. And the Tao of the Heart, at present, is to isolate all things in heaven and earth, realize the heart, and attain the Tao freely. Martial arts, on the other hand, pursues loyalty and dedication to the world. And what about cultivating the spiritual path, the life path, and the demon path, what exactly are you pursuing? Is what you understand right? What about your own body? What are you pursuing?"
Dugu Nirvana's heart was in turmoil for a while, and his mind was like a mess of paste.
"Xiao Ni, what's wrong with you?" Fang Wutong was a little worried when he saw Dugu Nirvana in a daze.
Dugu Ni came back to his senses and explained: "I just think that the different ways in this world, all kinds of magic, are really hard to find!"
Fang Wutong asked again, "Do you really think there is nothing wrong with the Heart Dao?"
Dugu Nie nodded.
Fang Wutong said, "Then are you willing to accompany me to cultivate my mind?"
Dugu Ni opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "What?"
Fang Wutong crossed his hands on his hips and snorted, "You still say that there is nothing bad." ”
Dugu Nirvana hurriedly explained: "No, I'm not saying that the heart path is bad, but the heart path is the cultivation method of your bitter happiness sect, and I am not your disciple, how can I cultivate the heart path?"
Fang Wutong said: "Then you can join us in the Bitter Happiness Gate?"
Dugu Nirvana was in trouble, and said with a sad face: "If my parents knew, they would really break my legs." ”
Fang Wutong seemed to be angry again, and said, "You still apologize, there is no sincerity at all!"
Dugu Nirvana hurriedly said: "I have!"
Fang Wutong said again: "Then you don't need to join the Bitter Happiness Gate, don't practice spells, only cultivate your mental strength, and accompany me to study the Four Classics." When you really understand the way of the mind, you can also explain it to those who don't understand our way of mind to see if we are bad people or not. For example, your mother!"
Dugu Nie felt guilty in his heart, and asked again: "Didn't you say that those four scriptures are your best cultivation methods?
Fang Wutong saw that this matter could be accomplished, his face was happy, and he said: "Our heart is supposed to continue to preach to the world to solve doubts, and the Bitter Happiness Sect never hides its selfishness at this point, if you are introduced to this path by me, this can still be regarded as my merit! As long as you don't learn spells and only learn the scriptures, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Dugu Ni asked again: "Then why do you want to pass it on to me?"
Fang Wutong stood up and replied: "People in the world only pursue strength, and for us, it is actually a sacrifice of the basics. If you study literature well, you must also be a person who has the heart to study, and you will not despise our scriptures like a vulgar man. Besides, you're my friend!"
Seeing that Fang Wu's smile was like a flower when he said the last sentence, Dugu Nie's heart warmed, and he said: "Okay! But can you not let my father and mother know? If I succeed in cultivating my mind, I will explain it to my parents. ”
Fang Wutong laughed and said, "You are filial piety and righteousness! Your mother doesn't want to see me and my uncle so much, I wish your mother knew that you cultivated your mind and was angry with her." ”
Dugu Nirvana's face was bitter.
Fang Wutong glanced at it, satisfied, and said, "I'm joking with you! The Four Classics are precious, and I will naturally keep them secret." After thinking about it, he said, "Then you came here today, aren't you afraid that others will know?"
Dugu Ni smiled, pointed to the burden on his body, and said, "I started today, and I have been a letter guest in Fuying, and I have come to Kule Gate to deliver letters. ”
Fang Wutong let out an "oh", nodded, and said, "Well, then you will come over in the future, and you can be regarded as having a statement." You wait, I'll go and get you the manuscript of the scriptures and meanings of the Four Classics. Although there is no way to use spells, if you practice them diligently, it will be very beneficial to your body and mind. The most direct thing is that if the mind is strong, it will be helpful to learn anything, and the ability to resist the spells of future mind cultivators will also be stronger. You should not spread this manuscript of the scriptures at will, because others may misunderstand you, and we do not want this scripture to be regarded as chaff by vulgar people. ”
Dugu Nie was grateful, nodded and said, "I promise you." ”
Fang Wutong turned around and walked away, Dugu Nie sighed in his heart, saying that he was here to apologize, but he didn't want to return such a benefit.
Not long after, Fang Wutong brought a thin scripture book and handed it to Dugu Nirvana.
There are no words on the cover, Dugu Nirvana opens to the first page, and four lines of words are printed in the eyes.
"When the times are not going well, the heart does not fall, the heart does not complain when the ten misfortunes are suffered, the heart is strong despite extreme suffering, and the heart is not guilty when the body is guilty. ”
Dugu Nirvana's heart said, this is probably the gist of the four scriptures that Fang Wutong once said, "The Sutra of Falling Heart", "The Sutra of Ten Dooms", "The Sutra of Suffering" and "The Sutra of Guilt". Although the names of these four scriptures are terrifying, the gist of these books is excellent.
Dugu Ni turned another page, read a few sentences, and felt deeply obscure, it seems that it is not something that can be understood in a while, otherwise it will not be the best method of mind cultivation. Dugu Ni closed the "Four Classics", stared at Fang Wutong's eyes, and said seriously: "Thank you, Wutong, I will study it carefully." ”
Fang Wutong smiled: "If I become a little madman in the future, I will pass on the spell to you and let you be a little madman with me." ”
Dugu Nirvana didn't know why, her heart was sweet, and she responded: "Okay!"
Seeing Fang Wutong like this, Dugu Nirvana said in her heart that she must not be angry, and it would be lunch time to stay for a while, so she said again: "I still have to pick up a few jobs, so I'll go back first." ”
Fang Wutong nodded and said, "Okay, next time if you send a letter to the neighborhood, you can also come to me again, we can exchange ideas with each other." The one who watches the inner door is my senior brother Yu Wu, you can find me if you tell him. ”
Dugu Nirvana responded and took his leave. When I walked through the outer courtyard, I listened to the people of the Kule Gate and felt more cordial.
In such a short period of time, the child in front of him actually sent seven items on foot, and told a few believers in the store, and also taught a lesson, to the effect that he should use more snacks and do things quickly, not even a child. In front of many believers, he gave Dugu Nirvana four cents.
This is the salary for the first item sent out by the Nanmen store.
Dugu Nie was happy in his heart, and carefully took it and put it in the money bag.
This time, the principal put away his contempt, and asked Dugu Ni to arrange eight items to be sent to the north of Fuying Town, all of which were letters, and it was convenient to pick them up. The principal's teaching said that when you pass by the Fuying Petition Middle School Store halfway, you can get your salary first and see if there is any work that can be delivered to the North Gate Store. If you can pick up a few items from the Beimen store and return to the south of Fuying Town, and return to the Nanmen store before the unitary time, you will be able to receive a lot of money at the end of this day.
Dugu Nien was overjoyed, and when a thin young man received the object, the young man said to everyone: "This is also a son-in-law who has some skills, and he is not too tired or annoying at this time, if he can really hold on for a few more days, then it is worth admiring." Many people also responded: "This kind of drudgery, exposed to the wind and rain, this adult is also ruthless, but it is expected that it will not last long." ”
Dugu Ni didn't dare to refute, he had been able to be a believer for more than two months, just a short-term job, and then he had to go back to Donglin to study, and he didn't say much, so he ran away with his objects.
When I arrived at Zhongdian, I didn't receive a job to send to the north, but I also paid 36 yuan, which was praised.
Dugu Ni ran to the north to deliver the first letter again, the recipient was not there, and after looking for someone to call, he also waited there for two teas. Dugu Nirvana didn't feel embarrassed, and when he waited for someone, he took out the "Four Classics" and studied there.
After receiving the letter this time, he asked Dugu Ni to wait there, wrote a reply letter, gave Dugu Ni forty yuan, and asked Dugu Ni to send it to the south gate today.
Dugu Ni has heard the explanation, the forty yuan is regarded as his own work, and he only needs to hand over half of it to the North Gate Store, and the rest is his own.
A few years ago, there were some sneaky and slippery letter writers, sometimes they did not let the sender make a record in the letter book, collected seventy percent of the money, and did not hand it over, which was also mutually beneficial to the guests. Later, Xinfang set a lot of rules both internally and externally, and this kind of thing was completely eliminated.
People who are willing to spend money to send letters still have a lot of solid backgrounds, and they don't want to take any risks for this little money, after all, there are black and white words on the letter book, and their hearts are more steady.
Some good people, if they see that the believer is quick and likable, they will reward a small amount of money from time to time, or let the believer enter the house to drink a bowl of water, which is also considered a favor.
This is also the seventeen years of Tianwu country's governance of the country and the people, and the people have been much more harmonious among themselves.
Dugu Nirvana became more and more energetic, and when he was hungry on the road, he ate some dry food. When he met a vendor selling chilled sugar water, Dugu Nirvana spent a penny and drank a bowl, which was sweet in his mouth and sweeter in his heart.
When he went to the North Gate Store to make a business, in addition to delivering eight letters, he also took four jobs by himself, collected a total of 160 yuan from the guests, and after handing over 80 yuan, he put the remaining 80 yuan into the money bag.
The believers in the North Gate have praised, Dugu Nie was elated, and when he went back, because of this trip Dugu Nie had to go back to the South Gate, there were only three suitable letter boxes, and after this trip was delivered, only tomorrow I would go to the North Gate Store to receive the salary.
After sending these three letter boxes, Dugu Ni went to the south gate to receive sixty-four yuan, and took some work by himself, and put the letter box at the south store and waited for it to be delivered tomorrow.
After doing the math, today is a day, a total of 184 yuan, at this rate, it is very certain to earn more than 200 yuan a day starting tomorrow.
