Chapter Twenty-Eight: Within the Sea of Air

PS: Thank you for the pink dancer and the immortal bird, and thank you for the encouragement of the monthly pass. Anyway, at the end of the month, should you add more to the poor road?

Zhao Ran scolded in his heart, and greeted the countless ancestors of this treasure vase, all the disciples who knew and didn't know, and the unborn descendants. It's a pity that he was forbidden by the other party, and the tip of his tongue couldn't turn for a moment, so he could only entertain himself at the moment and dissipate his anger.

After another moment, the treasure bottle once again gestured to the sitting posture just now, and all the processes were repeated again, and the heat flow came to Zhao Ran's navel three inches again.

This time, Zhao Ran hesitated, and did not immediately expel the heat flow as he did just now, when he was thinking about whether he would "rather die than give in" or "leave it for now", his mind suddenly buzzed, and his consciousness opened up in an instant.

Zhao Ran saw a qiē scene in his body, the throat, stomach pouch, intestinal wall and other organs, changed the angle, or changed the way of observation, he saw the channels of his meridians, the nodes of various acupuncture points, and finally saw his own sea of qi.

The sea of qi is deep and distant, as big as infinity, as vast as heaven and earth, boundless, but when it blinks, it is as small as the tip of a needle, and it seems to be invisible. Zhao Ran felt it curiously, only to feel that it was as dead as a vacuum for a while, and then it was like the sun, moon and stars like the sun, moon and stars, and it was like the sun, moon, and stars.

He suddenly remembered what was said in the "Tao Te Ching": Between heaven and earth, it is still unyielding! This sea of qi is like an atmospheric sac, empty but not collapsing, and it is endlessly in motion, the same as the heavens, the earth and the universe.

Zhao Ran seemed to have an understanding for a moment. Is this the opening of the inner vision?

Before Zhao Ran could continue to comprehend, a transparent shadow appeared in the sea of qi, and it looked like a monk's treasure bottle.

The treasure bottle sat in the sea of qi, and suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Little Taoist, do you see it clearly? This is your sea of knowledge." Your Daomen is also known as the Sea of Qi, how about it, the first time you saw it, how was the scene?"

Zhao Ran meditated: "Sure enough, it's as Lao Jun said." This sentence immediately sounded in the sea of qi, as if Zhao Ran was speaking.

The vase smiled: "Yes, judging from this alone, your understanding is still very good." If you study Buddhism, you can expect to achieve success. ”

Zhao Ran said: "But I don't have any bones. ”

The treasure bottle said: "Cultivating Buddha does not talk about qualifications, but only about understanding...... Let's not talk about this first, your knowledge of the sea is really refreshing and clean, unlike the Taoist priest before. It's a mess. ”

Zhao Ran knew that what the treasure bottle said was probably related to the root bones, but this was not the time to investigate the mysteries, so he hurriedly asked: "Master, you said that you entered my sea to observe your true appearance, can you see it?"

The vase smiled and pointed to the sea and sky: "Look, that's what I am." ”

Zhao Ran looked with his fingers, and saw the infinite distance in the sea. A glass bottle with a crystal light suddenly rose from the edge of the sky, and the bottle burst out in the air with a dazzling light, and the light reflected in the four fields. Shine and see that the sea is as white as day.

"Congratulations to the master, today I finally saw the true form!"

The vase looked at the true form rising from the sky, and muttered: "Yes, twenty years, it has never been as clear as this. It's 'having the truth,' not erasing the true being. It's about knowing what you are...... Today, he has attained the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara and attained the fruit of Mahayana bodhisattvas. One step closer to the supreme enlightenment, the position of the Buddha is not far away!"

I saw the vase reciting: "Supreme Enlightenment, Supreme Enlightenment, Supreme Enlightenment, Supreme Truth, Supreme Omniscience-Collect!" The bright glass bottle turned into a white light, and suddenly disappeared into the heart of the Zen master of the treasure bottle.

Zhao Ran asked, "Master, you have obtained the Bodhisattva Fruit, can you quit?"

The vase smiled and said: "As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, little Taoist, since you have helped me get the Bodhisattva fruit, why don't you just work hard together to help me become a Buddha!"

Zhao Ran suddenly felt bad and asked, "Master, when is this going to be?" Now that you have obtained the Bodhisattva fruit, you will come out first and then talk about it, where is the Buddha's position so easy to prove. ”

The treasure bottle said: "It won't take long, as short as ten or eight years, or as long as thirty or fifty years, I will definitely be able to open the six consciousness realms and go straight to the Buddha's position!"

"The master is joking, how can I survive ten or eight years, let alone thirty or fifty years. ”

"If I don't do penance in the sea of your knowledge, where will I go? ”

Zhao Ran exclaimed: "Master, you can't be like this, let's talk about it......" It remains to be said, and a huge stream of consciousness suddenly came from the center of his eyebrows, which drove into Zhao Ran's body like a river, and poured into the sea of qi. Zhao Ran was hit by this consciousness that contained what the Zen Master Aquarius had seen, thought, learned, and heard for decades, and his head hurt sharply, and the pain seemed to go straight to his soul, making him miserable. Zhao Ran only hated himself at the moment for why he couldn't pass out, or die, so that he could avoid suffering such inhuman pain.

While suffering the impact of severe pain, Zhao Ran was still soberly watching the changes in his qi. After this consciousness entered the sea of qi, it was deposited in the sea of qi like seawater, and the "water level" gradually rose, and the Aquarius master smiled and wandered on the "sea", looking extremely happy.

Just when Zhao Ran was almost desperate, the Aquarius Zen Master suddenly let out a "huh", and at the same time, Zhao Ran immediately felt the changes in the sea of qi.

At the bottom of the "sea water" formed by consciousness, or under Zhao Ran's sea of qi, a gap seemed to suddenly open, and the "sea water" was flowing outward along this gap. The gap grew larger and larger, and the flow of the "sea water" became faster and faster, gradually forming a turbulent and rotating whirlpool in the "sea water", and engulfing all the surrounding qiē into the gap.

The "sea water" formed by these consciousnesses poured directly into a certain crack along an invisible channel, and it seemed to be boundless within that crack, and it didn't take long to absorb all the seawater formed by the Aquarius Zen Master's consciousness in Zhao Ranqi's sea, and not a single drop was left.

The Aquarius Master struggled in panic for a moment, and finally was defeated by this extremely strong suction, and was forcibly sucked over, and when he was sucked into the crack, the phantom-like spirit body scattered and decomposed like glass shards, becoming a part of the "sea water" of consciousness.

With the demise of the Aquarius Zen Master's spiritual body, a small wooden stick was stuck at the mouth of the crack at some point, so that the crack could not be combined. Zhao Ran consciously stretched out a finger and poked it gently, and the wooden stick was finally sucked in.

Before the cracks were closed, Zhao Ran seemed to see a bright moon in the shape of a glass bottle rising inside!

Soon, as soon as the qi was restored to its original state, the sea of qi was still empty, as if there was no life, and the indescribable dead silence was quietly presented in front of Zhao Ran's eyes. I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a moment, and it seemed like thousands of years, Zhao Ran suddenly withdrew from the state of inner vision and returned to reality.

The Aquarius Zen Master was still sitting opposite Zhao Ran with his eyes closed, the fingers of his right hand still poking between Zhao Ran's eyebrows, with a strange smile on his face.

Zhao Ran was a little confused.

After a while, Zhao Ran felt the tip of his tongue, and then his neck, body, and limbs, and he was able to move again. He cautiously stretched out his right hand and groped for the two fingers of the Aquarius Zen Master poking at the center of his eyebrows, carefully holding his breath...... Bumped it.

The two fingers of the Aquarius Zen Master suddenly turned into ashes and scattered to the ground, followed by arms, shoulders, body, and legs...... In the end, there was only a pile of ashes left in front of Zhao Ran, as well as a key in the ashes.

Zhao Ran was stupid, he just sat quietly and didn't move. I don't know how long it took for him to come to his senses, and reached out to hook the key in the ashes, and untie the chains that bound him.

Got up and moved his limbs, and after the blood was clear, he learned the method of leaving the mantle monk*, groped under the oil lamp on the right side of the wall for a while, and came across a bulge, and then pressed it, but there was no movement, and then he pulled it to the left, and the secret door opened, and Zhao Ran stepped out of the quiet room to look left and right, this was the meditation room where he was when he was shaken off his sleeve by the Aquarius Zen Master.

Zhao Ran first went to the door of the room and listened quietly to the movement outside, outside the meditation room was a small courtyard, and there were occasional footsteps and whispers of passing monks outside the courtyard. He looked through the crack in the door, and there was no one in the courtyard.

Not daring to go out rashly, Zhao Ran sat down at the table, and his eyes immediately fell on the trouser belt tied around his waist. He scrambled to untie his trouser belt and retrieved the green strip. (To be continued)
