Chapter 57: Sermon from the South Heavens

Only the important ones, not the sand?

The old monk was amused and laughed, and reached out and touched the little monk's head: "Go, go!"

Well frogs can't talk to the sea, and they are confined to nothingness; Summer insects can't talk to the ice, and they can't talk to the time.

When life is short, there are always things that you think are the most important and can't get over.

What teenager has never made an oath and has a heartfelt desire.

But this kind of thing is more slaps in the face and less realization.

With the passage of time, it can only be said that it is really fragrant, which is not reluctant, but growing.

So the old monk only said that he was a little monk's childish words, where would he go to his heart?

After that day, the monk devoted himself to cultivation. However, the monk's qualifications are really inferior, and the profound mantras of the Vinaya sect are obscure in the eyes of the monks, and ordinary disciples can comprehend the mantras three or five times, but they have to read them eight times and ten times before they can understand them. ”

The Zen masters of the Buddha Pavilion looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that the Southern Heaven Buddha Master, who was known as the strongest in the Vinaya Sect, would say that his qualifications were inferior.

But the Nantian Buddha Master, who had already fallen into a state of reminiscence, ignored the shock of the Zen masters in the congregation, and continued to speak without even pausing.

"The qualifications are inferior, so the monk is disliked by the Zen monastery, and he does some chores to collect firewood and cook rice every day. ”

"It's a good thing not to have to practice martial arts, because it allows the monk to focus more on his practice. ”

"Eight or nine years, the monk cultivated to the peak of the wisdom realm, and he no longer felt that his cultivation had increased, so he went to ask for advice. ”

"Shi Xin said that because the monk was not attentive enough, he did not feel that his cultivation was growing. ”

The monk asked again how he could concentrate, and he said that when there was only cultivation left in his heart, he would concentrate. ”

Speaking of this, the Nantian Buddha Lord smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the wrinkles on his face were gathered together, as if he remembered his young and ignorant self.

So that year, the monk closed the dead pass. ”

The Buddha Master Nantian continued: "Cultivating every day, cooking food, and then practicing, although the retreat keeps the monks away from the crowd, there are also many inconveniences, such as cold winter and summer heat, sleepiness in spring and lack of autumn, many flies and insects in the mountains, and rats in the caves. There are also chaotic thoughts. ”

"But the most difficult thing is that I still can't feel the growth of cultivation, so the monk thought, could it be that I am not attentive enough and not eager enough?"

Otherwise, why is it that every time you enter the time, there will be a lot of complicated thoughts intruding, and evil thoughts are numerous. ”

"What should I do?"

"Monks are born to be reckless, and they have no ability to change the heavens and the earth, so they ask for their own bodies. Miscellaneous thoughts are cut off one after another, and six unclean ones are cut off. ”

"It was difficult at first, but it took ten whole years, and the monk was finally able to cut off the five watches while practicing, and only his thoughts remained. ”

"After another ten years, the monk has the root of his mind, and he no longer knows the passage of time when he is practicing, and only when his body is extremely weak, he wakes up to eat some food and water. Xu is the benefit of cutting off the six senses, so that the monk is getting closer and closer to the realm of Bigu, and the time of stopping the meditation and practicing is getting longer and longer. ”

I don't know how many times I reincarnated, and I faintly felt that the barrier was broken, and the monk walked out of the dead pass. ”

"Asking the deacon of the Eastern Preface, he learned that this death was closed for thirty years, and the monk was deceased. ”

I remember that day, the Lord of the Southern Heaven Buddha sat in the Zen monastery of Liberation for a long time.

Doesn't it mean that an arhat has been freed from the cycle of birth and death and is a sage who has attained the state of nirvana, why did he pass away?

Withdrawing from the state of memory, the Buddha Lord of the Southern Heaven said softly: "The Taoist arhat, but he is a useless arhat, with the Buddha fruit, but there is still no way to deduce where his parents are reincarnated, and the master has passed away. ”

Speaking of this, all the Zen masters were a little embarrassed, and when they reached their level, they naturally understood how false this theory of reincarnation was.

It's just that the foolish people are willing to believe, so the Buddha kingdom will be wrong and still use this set of doctrines.

Now that I heard that the Lord of the Southern Heaven Buddha was deceived by this to embark on the path of cultivation, I was glad and a little ashamed at the same time.

But the old monk obviously didn't mean to embarrass everyone, but continued to narrate: "Looking back at the empty wooden bowl, the monk has nothing left, what is important in life? ”

"Turning down the position of the church, the monk returned to the retreat, but this time it was different from the last time. ”

"At that time, those brothers with amazing qualifications, the ones who passed away, the seriously injured ones, but the monks with the most ordinary qualifications became the most outstanding ones. ”

"Even during the retreat, people sent sutra scroll pills to help, but at that time, the monks didn't need these anymore. ”

"I thought that after obtaining the fruit position, the cultivation would be more sincere, but I didn't expect that after the Buddha attainment, there was another end of consciousness (divine consciousness), and the chaotic evil thoughts came again, and in order to tame this divine consciousness, the old monk used another forty years. ”

Speaking of this, the old monk smiled again: "The thought is tamed, and the monk has also reached the peak of an arhat, and he is about to cast a golden body." ”

"But his qualifications are still dull, even if he takes the correct law of the eight sects, he has never been able to cultivate well, and it took a full eighty years to achieve the realm of a great Zen master. ”

Later, the monk was invited to practice in the Futu of the legal world, nourished by the Buddha Qi of the Eight Directions, and it took another forty years to merge the fruit position and the golden body into one, and he was crowned the king Buddha. ”

"Then, the monk went into retreat on the top floor of the Buddha Buddha in the Vinaya Realm, from the nine-storied pagoda, to the thirteen-storied pagoda, to the fifteen-storied pagoda, to the seventeenth-storied pagoda, and now, to the thirty-seventh. ”

The Lord of the Buddha of Nantian looked at the shocked people in the Buddha Pavilion: "The old monk has only practiced all his life, and he will only practice, and the reason why he can break through the realm again and again, that is, his life span is longer than that of people, as for the legend of the Buddha Lord of Nantian, it is because the monk has never fought with others." ”

This is the monk's path. ”

As the Lord of the Southern Heaven Buddha told his own path of cultivation, the Zen masters on the Buddha Pavilion had nothing but shock in their hearts.

Only Yanshan, who was sitting next to the Lord of the Southern Heavenly Buddha, folded his hands and said respectfully: "Offering, killing thieves, and having no life, Wang Buddha's cultivation is profound, and Yanshan is unattainable." ”

The Lord of the Southern Heaven Buddha smiled kindly, then closed his lips and closed his eyes, and once again merged with the pagoda, like a rock and dead wood.

And after listening to the Buddha's sermon, the Zen masters were no longer in the mood to entangle with Yanshan, or bowed their heads in contemplation with complicated expressions, or were shocked and inexplicably unable to themselves.

Even if the power to speak was restored, none of them spoke.

And at the bottom of the Floating Slaughter in the Law Realm, Tang Luo, who also listened to the sermon of the Southern Heavenly Buddha, was also very shocked.

He didn't understand the Buddha's language, so the arguments at the top of Shicai, including Yanshan's teachings, sounded to him all a buzzing noise.

But as soon as the Nantian Buddha Lord spoke, he really heard what the other party was going to say and what he wanted to convey.

That kind of love and sincerity for cultivation, even he was so shocked that he stood still for a long time, and it wasn't until Yunxiu came to Tang Luo's side with the eight treasure books in his hand for a while that he came back to his senses.

"Why don't you call me?"

Tang Luo stepped forward to take the book Yun Xiu was holding, carefully placed it on the ground, and complained softly.

The corners of Yunxiu's mouth raised slightly, and chuckled: "The husband must be thinking about something very important, and the concubine may as well wait." ”

"It's not an important thing, it's just listening to a senior sermon and listening to it. ”

"Is it the predecessor of the Nanshan Sect?"

Yun Xiu shrank her neck in fright and asked in a low voice.

"Probably. ”

Tang Luo said uncertainly: "I don't know if it's or not, but what is certain is that this senior's cultivation is very high." ”

Yun Xiu was a little surprised, since she met her husband, she had been refreshed by the perception of the upper limit of martial arts.

The youngest grandmaster in front of him in the past is a figure who has already stood at the pinnacle of Xihe Martial Arts.

Even when the king met, he was able to make friends on an equal footing, and in the mouth of his husband, he had never heard any extraordinary evaluation.

Even if Cao Jinyu, who is the first under the Holy King, and the Hanging City in the sky, it seems that there is nothing extraordinary, but now this arrogant young grandmaster would have such respect for a Zen sect he has never met, which made Yunxiu extremely curious, and couldn't help but ask more: "How tall?"

Tang Luo, who was already squatting down and rummaging for the foundation building method, didn't raise his head: "The sky is so high." ”

Tang Luo, who had been flipping through for a while, suddenly realized that he didn't know Buddhist texts, and with some embarrassment, he held up a treasure scroll and said to Yunxiu: "Inside... What is written on this, can Madame translate it for me?"

"Oooh. ”

Yun Xiu, who had come back from shock again, also squatted down in the same way as Tang Luo, and then took the scroll in Tang Luo's hand, and explained while flipping through it: "This is the Mahayana Foundation Building Sutra of the Sex Sect, which contains... Thirty-six drawings of human postures. ”

"Thirty-six pairs, show me. ”

Tang Luo looked at the thirty-six pairs of Dao diagrams that Yun Xiu had found out, although he couldn't understand the Buddhist texts underneath, but just looking at the diagrams, he knew the little tricks played by this Buddha species, and said with a smile: "Mess up the thirty-six pairs of innate Dao diagrams, and then use the human body to depict them and become your own? This group of monks is really interesting! This treasure book doesn't need to be translated, the next one." ”

"Oh. ”

Yun Xiu closed the treasure book and put it aside, then picked up another one and flipped through it: "This is Xiangzong's "No Corresponding Tribulation Foundation Sutra", on which are forty-eight pairs of Taoist diagrams in human postures, in addition to specific medicinal bath preparations and methods for boiling the body. ”

"Not much reference value. ”

After pondering for a moment, Tang Luo spoke: "This foundation building method should be used to lay the foundation for the "Immeasurable Tribulation Body", you can see if those medicinal bath preparations, the medicinal herbs used are unique to the Pure Land of the Buddha Kingdom." ”

"Okay. ”

Yun Xiu flipped through the book again, confirmed the sixteen flavors of herbs, and nodded towards Tang Luo: "That's right, the herbs in it are indeed unique to the Pure Land, and a few of them are still poisonous herbs. ”

"Then this one doesn't have much reference value, the next one. ”

"This is Taizong's "Myoho-renge-ka", and in addition to the basic thirty-six Taoist diagrams, there is also a lotus imprint. ”

"Wait!"

Tang Luo suddenly stopped, and then asked towards Yunxiu, "What is the Lotus Mark?"

Yun Xiu flipped through the treasure book and translated it word by word.

After listening to the fifteen pages of analysis of the lotus imprint, Tang Luo made a simple deduction, and then frowned: "Not quite right, the lotus imprint does not help absorb the effect of the aura of heaven and earth, but will devour part of the aura absorbed by the main body, and over time, this lotus imprint will evolve into some kind of supernatural power or prohibition, which is not what the treasure book says at all." ”

"Then this one, is there any reference value?"

Yun Xiu raised the treasure technique of "Myoho-renge-ka" and asked softly.

"Hmm.... Keep it for now!"

Tang Luo pondered for a moment and nodded: "This is also a way of thinking, maybe you can try to develop along this line." ”

He took out a pen and paper from the stomach of the void, and then Yunxiu began to transcribe, while Tang Luo sat aside and began to think about how to develop the way of Myoho-renge-ka.

In half a moment, Yun Xiu translated and recorded the contents of the fifteen pages of the Lotus Flower Imprint, and then picked up another book.

"Sutra's Vajra into Wisdom, this book seems to be different from other genres, there are only nine breathing methods. ”

Yun Xiu looked through it and said to Tang Luo: "The nine breathing methods correspond to the nine stages of foundation building from shallow to deep, and after completion, they will go directly to the mortal realm. ”

"Gravity isn't gravity?"

Tang Luo nodded and said, "Also transcribe it, this is very meaningful for some people who are born with crippled limbs but have the heart to study martial arts." ”

"Zen Buddhism's "Micro Thoughts into the Underworld", this treasure book records four meditation methods, which also do not require any physical exercise, and follow the method of connecting heaven and earth. ”

"I also recorded it, and maybe mixed it with the previous one. ”

"Okay. ”

Except for the first two treasure books, each of the remaining sets of foundation building methods will be more or less helpful to Tang Luo.

This made the two even more excited, and after copying the contents of the two treasure books, Yun Xiu turned his attention to the other one.

"I Ching Washing the Marrow", the fundamental foundation building method of the Pure Sect, legend has it that even if it is a Zhongping posture, you only need to be able to complete the practice of this foundation building method, and you can be reborn.

There are 84,000 scriptures in the Buddha country, and the fame of this volume is even greater than that of some Buddhist supernatural powers.

Tang Luo is naturally fascinated by this scripture, and now that he can see it, he naturally attaches great importance to it, and is busy letting Yunxiu translate it.

This sutra says that the washing of the marrow of the I Ching is a long process, which requires rubbing, dry foam bathing, eye pressing, and nose pressing. Touching the face, twisting the ears, exhaling the steps, and then going through the nine years of practice. ”

"The first year is easy to qi, two years is easy to blood, three years is easy to be refined, four years is easy to pulse, five years is easy to marrow, six years is easy to bone, seven years is easy to tendons, eight years is easy to develop, and nine years is easy to form. ”

Seeing that her husband was serious about this treasure technique, Yun Xiu translated it very carefully, just patronizing and reading the book, but she didn't notice Tang Luo's increasingly disappointed expression.

"Alright, almost. ”

Tang Luo interrupted Yunxiu's translation softly, and then sighed: "I should have known a long time ago, how can there be any good thing in the martial arts world that falls from the sky, no matter what you work on, you will feel that this "I Ching Cleansing" is a shortcut, and I am stupid!"

"Does this book still need a translation?"

"No, I don't have to. ”

Tang Luo waved his hand: "If it's just about the effect, this I Ching is not as good as my "Five Elements Holy Spirit Foundation Building Method", it's useless and useless." ”

"My husband is amazing. ”

Yunxiu praised Tang Luo with a smile, and then put aside the treasure book of "I Ching Washing the Pulp", but when he was about to pick up the new one, he paused and asked: "Husband, there are only two left, and there is still more time, why don't we find some other treasure books to see?"

"No need, even if the last two can't be used, the previous harvest is enough, besides. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Luo suddenly lowered his voice and said: "And there has been no movement for a while, let's leave quickly, the senior who can't hear the movement makes people panic." ”
