What does it mean to be unphased in and selfless?

That's another story.

Venerable Subodhi begs for the rich but not for the poor, but among the disciples of the Buddha, there is another Venerable who is just the opposite of him, who has always begged for poverty but not for wealth. This Venerable One is His Holiness the Mahakasya.

His Holiness believed that monks giving bowls to the poor were to increase their blessings, increase their blessings in future lives, and reduce their poverty in future lives. The rich are blessed, so why bother with the icing on the cake.

When the Buddha learned about this, he criticized the two of them.

In the course of a lecture, the Buddha proposed "giving without appearance, living without self", and Venerable Subodhi became enlightened and became the first person to sit down and solve "emptiness".

This secret realm is the place where Subodhi sits, and during his sitting, he must have gotten out of the stage of begging for wealth and not begging for poverty, and he has long understood that "there is no generosity, and there is no self to live".

Therefore, the Buddha bowl in the two small statues here should be held up completely.

Taihao Xianjun stretched out his hands to hold up the two Buddha bowls at the same time, and in an instant, under the image of the tall Great Sun, the lotus seat gently unscrewed, revealing a one-person high passage.

Lin Ning and Taihao Xianjun glanced at each other, and then stepped into the passage one after the other. After the two entered, the lotus seat slowly swung out again, closing the passage entrance.

"We should be the first, right?" Lin Ning looked around and said softly.

Behind the Buddha statue is a garden full of exotic flowers and plants, and in the distance you can see the towering stupa in the sky, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is shining, and the end is picturesque.

Taihao Xianjun was silent and did not answer, looking down at the bricks under his feet.

Each of these bricks has a different color and shape, and is arranged together to form a regular geometric pattern.

Taihao Xianjun chuckled lightly and said, "Buddhism just likes to engage in these doorways. ”

Lin Ning was puzzled, glanced at the bricks on the ground, and didn't see anything at all.

"Pay attention to the changes in the aura around you, not with your eyes, not with your mind, but with your heart. Taihao Immortal Jun pointed to Lin Ning at his feet.

Lin Ning closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his mind in his breath until the whole person calmed down. She tried to let go of her five senses and feel the aura around her.

I didn't feel anything at first.

After a while, Lin Ning suddenly felt a slight gust of wind.

The wind moves against the ground. No, it's the aura on the ground that is empty, and it needs the aura around it to fill it, so that the wind is formed.

"The ground, absorbing aura. Lin Ning's eyes were still closed, but he muttered.

"Good. Now try to observe the direction of the flow of the aura, what can you see?" came the low voice of Taihao Immortal Monarch in his ears.

Where does Reiki flow?

Lin Ning slowed down his breathing, and gradually adapted to the air flow around him. In her vision, the same aura masses that she had seen when she first drew qi into her body appeared.

Now that she is in the golden pill stage, her understanding of the way of cultivating immortals is no longer the same as when she just introduced qi into her body.

Lin Ning found that the flow of air was different from the flow of aura. Air and aura seem to be two substances operating in different dimensions in the same space.

The flow of air is well captured and can be clearly felt with the five senses. Reiki, on the other hand, does not provoke any reaction from the five senses, and it is difficult for the divine consciousness to pay attention if you don't pay attention.

Lin Ning found that if he wanted to use his divine sense to monitor the direction of the aura, he had to let the divine sense adjust to the "frequency" that could monitor the aura, just like receiving radio waves from the radio.

Unlike the first time he accidentally induced qi into his body, under the tip of Taihao Immortal Monarch, Lin Ning had now found the frequency that could monitor the aura.

The aura mass converges in the air into a long river of starlight, walking regularly along a certain path. Not every one of these bricks has an aura path on it. And the slowly flowing river of spiritual energy formed a huge swastika Buddha seal.

Lin Ning watched the light flow and change, and suddenly felt a little familiar. At the same time as the thoughts were together, the Kunlun Yuan Book in the sea of knowledge was windless and automatic, and a few thin pages in the page scroll lit up with golden light and stopped in mid-air.

Lin Ning carefully compared some of the changes in these mantras with the several changes in the swastika Buddha seal, and found that some places were very similar. It seems to have simplified the spells and blended them together to create a new way of using power.

"This formation has the effect of dispelling evil spirits, washing the heart, and asking questions. Lin Ning's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked fixedly at the ground in front of him.

Taihao Xianjun seemed to be slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's really beyond my imagination, I can see too much." These skills are not many people in the current immortal cultivation world, even if they are cultivators in the Transformation Period, who can master them. ”

Lin Ning tilted his head and wondered: "It's not that difficult." ”

"Most of the scattered cultivators have no guidance, so they can't catch the initial rhythm. And, again, it's the same sentence - your divine sense is very special. ”

Taihao Immortal Jun didn't say anything more, motioned for Lin Ning to follow, and walked forward.

Just like the stone steps in the Yunshan Zen Temple, the stone brick formation here is not dangerous, and it can be spent by those who are determined, but it is too time-consuming and not suitable for trying now.

When Lin Ning followed Taihao Xianjun this time, his feelings were obviously different from the last time.

Last time, she just painted a cat and a tiger, and she took whichever step Taihao Xianjun took. This time, she could also observe the changes herself, and then looked at the place chosen by Taihao Xianjun, and felt that every step was the most perfect choice.

Occasionally, I have doubts about one or two steps, and I also solve the confusion of why I chose that step in the subsequent path selection.

Lin Ning couldn't help but admire.

What she admires most about Taihao Xianjun, the master, is not his cultivation, his posture, and his status, but his mentality, his way of doing things, and his choice when encountering problems.

I think that such a person can achieve his wish no matter what kind of environment he is in.

After walking for a long time, the two of them came to the bottom of the tower.

Taihao Immortal Jun raised his head and looked at the eaves on the layers of cornices, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "The eighteen-layer floating slaughter corresponds to the eighteen hells." In vain, I didn't expect that we were going to hell before we died. ”

The corners of Lin Ning's mouth twitched, and he said: "Eighteen hells, eight hot and eight cold, you increase loneliness......"

In the "Jizo Sutra", there are more than 50 names of hell listed alone, and the names of each hell make people's scalps tingle when they look at it. It's not so scary, although Lin Ning is a female man who doesn't have nightmares when watching ghost movies, she is afraid of pain.

"Master, I don't want to go up......" Lin Ning pursed his lips, turned around and wanted to slip away, but was dragged back by Taihao Xianjun by the collar.

"Lie to you. ”

Taihao Immortal Jun smiled lightly and said, "How can there be a Hell Floating Slaughter in the place where Venerable Subodhi sits. ”

Lin Ning breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his collar out of Taihao Xianjun's hand, and straightened his shirt and said, "Cough, since it's not hell, you still have to go up and have a look." ”

Taihao Immortal Monarch knocked on Lin Ning's head and said: "This tower must have the essence of 'emptiness', you have to be careful, don't get lost in it easily." ”
