Volume 72 Buddhism

"Be careful!" Ming Xuan was at the forefront, so he was the first to notice it, and he was also the one closest to the attack.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure rushing forward, the spiritual power was fierce, Ming Xuan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately mobilized spiritual power to deal with it, because behind him were Xie Junlong and Xie Feng, they were only capable, not the opponent of the spirit at all, Ming Xuan had no way to retreat, and directly had a hard encounter with the comer!

With a "bang" sound, even the air became distorted at this moment, and after a blow, the attacking figure flew backwards, and Ming Xuan was forced to retreat several steps.

Suddenly this change, everyone was a little confused, and the young disciples who were cultivating on the side were directly frightened, this was not a strong conversation that they could get involved in at all.

"Who are you?" said Ming Xuan and the figure in unison.

After the figure stood still, everyone could see his true face, this person was about thirty years old, with good facial features, eyebrows, and a dark monk's robe, dressed exactly like the Buddhist disciples who were practicing here, obviously the monk of this great Zen temple.

"Senior brother, it turned out to be you!" Seeing the person clearly, Xie Junyan was overjoyed and hurriedly went up to say hello.

"Lingyin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss death!" The person who came was also overjoyed, and directly gave Xie Junlong a bear hug.

"Let me introduce, this is my senior brother Ling Dong, senior brother, this is ....... Xie Junlong hurriedly introduced each other.

Lingyin is Xie Junlong's legal name, he and Lingdong worship under the name of the same monk, belong to the authentic senior brother, but the difference is that Xie Junlong is only a registered disciple, and Lingdong is the closed disciple of this monk, when the disciple exchange conference, the two of them both entered the final decisive battle, Lingdong won by luck, became the last leader, famous all over the world.

"It turned out to be a master disciple of Qingyang Sect! I was rude just now! I just wanted to make a joke with Lingyin, but I didn't expect that there would be a master here, offended!" Lingdong folded his hands and said with a big grin.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to explain it clearly, it's okay!" Seeing that Ling Dong was so free and easy, Ming Xuan was not surprised.

"The last time I saw you, you were already at the peak of the capable, I thought you had already broken through this time, so I wanted to give you a try, but I didn't expect you to break through yet!" After greeting, Ling Dong turned to ask Xie Junlong.

"The cultivation is a little stagnant, but it should be about to break through, so I came back and wanted to ask the master to protect the Dharma. "Xie Junlong is also a sincere person, and he has nothing to hide in front of his senior brother.

"I can't be the master of this, you have to ask the master yourself, but it is my duty to treat you well!" Ling Dong laughed and led everyone forward.

"Just ...... Were they fighting just now?

"Isn't one of them a disciple of our Great Zen Temple, when will I be as strong as him!"

"That visitor is so strong, it's actually equal!"

After everyone left, the shock left to the young disciples was far from being eliminated, and everyone was talking about it, with different expressions of jealousy, envy, worship, and yearning, and it seemed that at least today they had no intention of cultivating.

Although the martial academy looks similar to the academy of literature, the layout is very different, similar to the Qingyang Gate, the front is a place for the primary disciples to practice, the further back they go, the stronger the strength of the disciples, Ling Dong is already a spirit person, so the location of the residence is relatively backward, and it is also more secluded.

"Senior brother, how did you know I was here?" Xie Junlong asked curiously.

"Because the person who received me sent a message!" Ling Dong said with a big grin, not taboo.

"Does the master know I'm coming?" Xie Junlong then asked.

"Where did I have time to inform him of the old man, I don't know yet!" Ling Dong rushed over when he received the news, so he met them just after they crossed the ropeway.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him very much!" Xie Junlong said with emotion.

"I'll see you later, what's the hurry!" Ling Dong laughed.

After marching for a while, everyone passed through the cultivation place of the junior disciples, and came to the backyard of the martial academy, the layout here is completely different from the front yard, the disciples in the front yard are all living in a collective life, the martial disciples have eight people in a room, and they do the same thing, while the capable disciples are four people in a room, if they cultivate to the level of the spirit, then they can have their own separate room, and Lingdong is like this.

However, when passing by his residence, Ling Dong did not stop, but continued to walk forward, leading everyone directly to his master, Master Xuanbei.

Master Xuanbei's residence is not far from Lingdong's residence, and after walking for a while, you will arrive, and the residence looks very simple, like an ordinary wooden house in the mountains and forests.

"Master, are you there?" Lingyin has returned to the mountain!" Lingdong said as he knocked on the door.

"Squeak" sounded, the wooden door did not open by pushing, a lifelike Buddha statue came into view, and an old monk with white hair was sitting cross-legged on the ground to participate in meditation, chanting words in his mouth, as if he was chanting.

The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple, except for some daily necessities, there is only a bed, a table and two chairs, although he is already a master of the world, but Master Xuanbei still lives a life of asceticism.

"Master, Lingyin is back to see you. Seeing the master and the old monk settle down, Xie Junlong knelt outside the door and said softly.

"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing, where is the dust, you and I have the fate of master and apprentice, why stick to this false name?" After a long time, Master Xuanbei's faint words slowly came.

"One day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, the master's teaching to the apprentice, the apprentice will never forget!"

"Everything is illusory, so why stick to the red dust, you, in the end, there are too many entanglements to let go, so you still stay in place. Master Xuanbei sighed.

"Master, apprentice......" Hearing Xuan Bei say this, Xie Junlong couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"The body and mind are empty, what is the difference between Siren and Buddha, Brother Xie, although the master is talking about reason, the Tao is Zen, you misunderstand the meaning of his old man. Ming Xuan smiled and said.

"But why?" Xie Junlong was puzzled.

"The reason why your cultivation has been stagnant is not because you have not cultivated enough, but because you think too much and worry too much, so there is no progress. Ming Xuan explained with a smile.

I see, the disciple understood. As soon as Ming Xuan said this, Xie Junlong immediately came to his senses.

"Haha, junior brother, you have been with the master for three years, and in the end you are not as good as an outsider who understands the master's mind. Ling Dong laughed, making Xie Junlong feel embarrassed.

The breakthrough of the spirit can be described as a major difficulty in cultivation, it is related to life and death, success will create a new world, failure will be ashes, all efforts and efforts are put into flowing water, but also take their own lives, in the face of such a life and death threshold, everyone will inevitably have concerns, hesitate, over time will affect their own state of mind, and then also affect their own practice, stagnation and even regression, Xie Junlong is like this, he didn't realize it himself, but he was broken by Master Xuanbei.

"Ordinary mind is the Tao, your heart is in turmoil, from now on you can follow me to participate in meditation!" Master Xuanbei said slowly.

"Master Xie!" Seeing that the master was willing to help him, Xie Junlong was overjoyed and leaned over and kowtowed.

"This benefactor, what is a Buddha in your opinion, and what is the Dharma?" Xuan Bei suddenly asked Xiang Mingxuan.

In my opinion, to learn Buddhism is to learn to be a human being, to truly learn the compassion and wisdom of the Buddha, and the Dharma is the way we live, and the way to live a relaxed, comfortable and perfect life is called the Dharma. Ming Xuan replied honestly.

"Then what is cultivation?" Xuan Bei continued.

"True practice is to cultivate the mind, to correct oneself, not to correct others, to let go of self-attachment and self-love, and to be compassionate to all sentient beings, which is also the true meaning of Buddhism. Ming Xuan Lang said.

"The body and mind are empty, the Si people are different from the Buddha, the donor has obtained the true meaning, and the old man is convinced!" Hearing this, Xuan Bei couldn't help but praise, and slowly stood up and walked out.

"Qingyang Sect disciple Gu Mingxuan pays a visit to Master Xuanbei!" Mingxuan bowed and saluted, and the others hurriedly saluted in the same way.

"It's very rare to have such a cultivation at a young age, and to have such an understanding! Xuan Bei said with a slight smile.

The younger generation is only shallow in learning, and I really don't deserve such praise from the master, and I am sincerely afraid. Ming Xuan bowed and said.

"Meeting is fate, the old man wants to send you a word, I don't know if you want to hear it. Master Xuanbei said slowly.

"Master, please speak, the juniors must remember!" Ming Xuan hurriedly said.

"Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, do not hurt if they do not move, if the heart moves, people move in vain, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, so they experience all kinds of pain in the world. After speaking, Master Xuanbei strode forward and slowly disappeared in front of everyone.

"Don't get me wrong, at this time, the master is about to start cultivating, so I'll take you to the reception hall of our Martial Academy, where there will be someone who will be responsible for entertaining you. Seeing that everyone was standing in place in astonishment, Ling Dong hurriedly explained and led everyone to the meeting room.

Since the group were all elite disciples of famous families, the Great Chan Temple did not dare to slack off, and quickly arranged for them to stay.

"The precepts in the temple are strict, and there is only coarse tea and light rice to entertain you, please don't forgive me!" At lunch, everyone ate in the living room, accompanied by Ling Dong, but Xie Junlong had already gone to practice with the master.

Ling Dong said so politely, everyone had to respond politely, and even Ou Zhiyang had to pretend to be casual.

"My brother's cultivation has a heart barrier, and I want to trouble you and Master Xuanbei!" Xie Junyan said gratefully.

"I have known Lingyin since childhood, and I have been taught by the same family, so I should help him, so I don't need to be so polite. Ling Dong said with a big grin.

"Actually, in addition to my brother, there is also a reluctant invitation below. Xie Junlong said with some embarrassment.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it's okay!" Ling Dong said heartily.

"My brother and sister came to the Great Zen Temple with me this time, but I still have important things to do, and I can't take care of them, I want them to stay in the Great Zen Temple, wait for Junlong to break through the spirit man, and then return to Pingcheng with him, I don't know if it's okay?" Xie Junyan pleaded.

"There are plenty of wings in the temple, and there are a lot of pilgrims staying overnight, I don't care about the two more, it's just that the temple is monotonous, I'm afraid that the two donors can't stand the cold in the mountains!" Ling Dong said with a smile.

"That's fine, they are naturally impetuous, and it would be great to be able to meditate in the Great Zen Temple!" Xie Junyan hurriedly said.

"So, let's stay here!" Ling Dong said with a smile as he drank all the tea in his cup.
