The long wind is whistling, and the grass * waves are falling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Zhixuan's monk's clothes are fluttering, holding a round of thread in one hand, holding the tight silk thread in the other, advancing and retreating under his feet, and his attitude is leisurely.

A black robe shot like an arrow, lifted the hood, showed a bright bald head, and looked up at the colorful butterfly kite swaying and circling in the sky, who is it not Liu Taozhi?

Shi Zhixuan glanced at him, "Your breath is faintly sluggish, injured?"

"I can't hide this little injury from you, seeing that your induction is becoming more subtle and transparent, I think that Dao Xing is about to go to the next level......" Liu Taozhi didn't hide it, "I couldn't help but try Yang Jian's martial arts and wisdom, and it is worthy of being the hidden dragon selected by Buddhism!"

The Demon Gate has been fighting with Buddhism for hundreds of years, and has been losing more and winning less, and most rounds are often the Demon Gate that has the upper hand first, and the spring breeze is proud, and in the end it is full of mistakes, defeating again and again, and failing to have the last laugh.

Even if the heroes of the Demon Gate are conceited, they have to admit that Buddhism and Taoism have a very accurate vision of people, and they have repeatedly been able to make friends with people who have great luck and great opportunities in advance, while the Demon Gate is just the opposite, and it is inevitable that they will repeatedly offend the people of great luck to death with radical and extreme means, and finally suffer themselves.

Shi Zhixuan shook his head slightly, "You are suffocated, so that you can only exert eighty or ninety percent of your combat power before you can be injured under Yang Jian, who is inferior to you!"

Liu Taozhi was silent.

Shi Zhixuan controlled the kite string and said to himself: "When I asked you to deliver the medicine, your first thought was to wonder, am I using this matter to test you, and you can only gain my trust and preaching through temptation?"

"Your second thought is hesitating, I asked you to send medicine to kill others, and what you did in the past in the Demon Gate and the Northern Qi royal family, whether the Buddha Gate and the Demon Gate are the same hill, in fact, there is no difference, only different positions?"

Liu Taozhi said bluntly, "Not bad!"

Shi Zhixuan smiled, "First, I can answer you clearly, I'm not that boring;

As for the second one, I can only say that there is indeed not much difference between Buddhism and Demon in nature, the former is skillful, and the latter is reckless......

But at the critical moment, most of the sages of Buddhism do something and do nothing, while most of the demon men do everything from beginning to end.

Although people's hearts are fickle, the difference here is indeed limited to one heart and one thought, one thought to become a Buddha, and one thought to become a demon......"

Liu Taozhi frowned, "Zen theory can be said by anyone...... I read the Buddhist scriptures for two or three months, and I didn't think it was of any use!"

"It's really useless!" Shi Zhixuan bowed slightly, "That's just to let you purify your mind first and abandon your feelings...... However, today I accidentally let you do a small thing, and you are confused, it seems that your path of mind cultivation is heavy and long!"

"You still say that you are not tempting me?" Liu Taozhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "How can murdering the king of a country be considered a trivial matter?"

"How is it not a trivial matter?" Shi Zhixuan asked rhetorically, "Whether it is the Demon Gate or the Buddhist Gate, they both regard life as a short transition, illusory and not of ultimate significance.

The difference is that Buddhism is for the sake of good and evil, to penetrate the red dust, and to see the nature of the mind, but the method of breaking through the confusion of the Demon Gate is not to save the world and help people, but to regard morality and etiquette as child's play, and regard the lives of sentient beings as nothing, so it can achieve the goal and unscrupulous means.

As far as Buddhism is concerned, all living beings are equal, and the life of the king of a country is no different from that of ordinary people and ants?

Do you say that taking the life of the king of a country is a big thing or a small thing?"

Liu Taozhi said helplessly: "You are using strong words and taking words out of context!"

"Which one in the world is not taken out of context?" Shi Zhixuan disagreed, "You have been in the Northern Qi Dynasty for half your life, and you must have seen those so-called erudite Confucians reversing black and white and tampering with the scriptures with a wolf or three inches of cunning tongue......

In this way, who is not taken out of context? I am good to note the classics, I am good to note the classics, and I am also good to note the classics, all of them pay attention to the situation according to the times, and talk about people when they see people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts.

For example, if you have read the Buddhist scriptures in the past two or three months, how can you determine whether the words in the Buddhist scriptures are the original words of Shakyamuni? If not, how many times have they been tampered with? How much has the Buddhist teachings deviated?"

Liu Taozhi suddenly felt that the "monk's career" was gloomy, "Then you still let me study the Buddhist scriptures hard?"

Shi Zhixuan said lightly: "Hey...... Buddhist scriptures are dead, people are alive, some people recite the Buddha for a lifetime and gain nothing, some people participate in meditation for a moment and have enlightenment, it can be seen whether or not you can read something from the true and false Buddhist scriptures, it is really a matter of the benevolent and the wise.

When reading Buddhist scriptures, we can separate the false from the true and clarify the philosophy, isn't it also a superior method for cultivating the truth and participating in meditation?"

Liu Taozhi was skeptical, and began to doubt whether the Zen master in front of him was in line with his identity as the backbone of Buddhism.

It must be known that the demons who escape into the empty door are often more convinced than most monks, and on the contrary, the monks who fall into the devil's path are often more unpredictable than any other devil!

Shi Zhixuan didn't realize it, and suddenly his tone changed, "Of course, in fact, your path is not in some bullshit Buddhism and Zen theory......

Liu Taozhi couldn't help but shake his body, and he always had the urge to vomit blood.

Shi Zhixuan continued: "The cultivation methods of Dao, Buddha, and Demon seem to have their own emphasis, and even go far from each other, but in fact, they all have the same end, and they all have to converge on the level of the unity of heaven and man.

And the realm of heaven and man, without pretending to seek anything else, is in one mind. All the other external miracle skills and supernatural powers are just by-products, derivatives or transitions of various spiritual paths, or they can be used to dominate the world and defend themselves against the enemy, but after all, they cannot penetrate the mysteries of life and the universe and break through the void.

The difference between the essentials and the end of the world must not be overlooked!"

Liu Taozhi's eyes flashed thoughtfully, and the fog in his heart seemed to fade a little, and the outline of the road ahead loomed.

Shi Zhixuan tugged at the thread in his hand, and let the colorful butterflies in the sky rise a few feet more in a gust of wind, trembling violently in the fierce wind.

On the other hand, he said slowly: "The righteous path of cultivation, with a lofty heart and a benevolent mind, seems to be full of entanglements, persistent everywhere, and cannot let go of all the shackles of morality and etiquette and give full play to one's own heart and strength, so that progress is slow.

In fact, he is in a cage and his heart is in the void, step by step, climbing steadily, and finally hovering steadily at the top of the clouds, just waiting for the inspiration to come, cut off the last trace of obstacles in one fell swoop, and immediately go to the next level and soar out of the sky.

It's like this kite......"

But seeing Shi Zhixuan's fingertips pinched, he grabbed the kite and the tight thin line broke silently, and the kite that had already climbed to the top suddenly floated up again, turned over a bucket, and then fell apart and shattered in the more violent wind.

Liu Taozhi's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "If you can be in the midst of many entanglements and depression and your soul is like a fish in water, you can grow to the peak steadily, once you are freed from the shackles, you can immediately complete the final crucial qualitative leap in one fell swoop!"

After a pause, he thought of all the things in the Demon Gate, and then continued: "The cultivation of the Demon Sect, at the beginning of the entry, that is, to cut off the bonds of the body with extreme methods such as [cutting the vulgar fate], and to distort the feelings of the ** with various cruel methods......

It seems that there is no spiritual restraint at the beginning, focusing on the pursuit of power, and cultivating by leaps and bounds, but in fact, it has become a kite with a broken line early, fluctuating, and if you are not careful, you will fall headlong, and those who are lucky enough to achieve something will also lose their way, and if there is no great opportunity, it is basically impossible to break through the last step......"

Thinking back to the demon gate in this life, cultivating demon skills, and being as dangerous and apprehensive as a tightrope along the way, Liu Taozhi couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky.

If it weren't for the cruel fighting in the rivers and lakes that confused the specific death *index*, I am afraid that someone would have discovered that the elimination rate of the Demon Gate cultivation path was outrageously high, and the promotion rate was so low that it was chilling!

This road, easy to get to the beginning, seems to be a shortcut, but in fact it is like a road from the square to the dog hole, the narrower it gets, the more rugged and difficult it becomes.

Liu Taozhi breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated: "Is what I want to do is to let my soul have a bond again?"

"No, no, no......" Shi Zhixuan's fingers swayed, "Haven't you noticed that since you got acquainted with Gao Huan and created the great cause of Northern Qi together, you are no longer a purely selfish and self-righteous person in the Demon Gate, but have become a lot of obstacles and self-restraint?"

If you do something and don't do something, your martial arts will gradually turn from the strange narrowness of the original magic skills to the magnificence, and you can stop in moderation, and unconsciously get rid of the shackles of the original magic skills, and the future is limitless, so that you can have extraordinary achievements today. ”

In Liu Taozhi's suddenly realized expression, Shi Zhixuan concluded: "Now that you have broken through your obsession, and you are only a piece of paper away from enlightenment and Taoism, why should you restrain yourself and seek troubles for yourself?"

Liu Taozhi was confused again, why did he go around and come back?

Shi Zhixuan looked up at the clear sky, and his voice seemed to become ethereal, "Just like people are not the same, although the Tao and the Tao are different from each other, they are always the same, and each is good at it.

The Tao Lord is empty, the Buddha Lord is empty, and the Tao of entering the supreme righteous path from the magic skill is neither the way of the Dao Gate, nor the way of the Buddha, but the Tao of the Demon Dao, the supreme Demon Dao!"

Liu Taozhi was shocked when he heard this, and finally understood why he was concentrating on comprehending the Buddhist scriptures, but he had always gained very little, it turned out that he had killed all his life in the bottom of his heart after all, he did not agree with the authentic path of Buddhism, and the most suitable for himself was still the devil's way!

It's a pity that magic skills are easy to cultivate, and magic paths are hard to find!

In the silence, Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: whether it is Xiang Yutian now, or the later Demon Sect Meng Chixing, bloody hands, and Demon Master Pang Ban, all prove that even if the people in the Demon Gate enter the Tao from the devil, they are still fundamentally different from the masters of the Dao Buddha who have cultivated the Heavenly Dao...... And this difference is precisely because each of them has a different way!

All the fundamental differences in the perspectives and concepts of the three religions of Tao, Buddhism, and Demons in their views on the universe, life, and the human mind cannot be false.

Even if they are all in the realm of the unity of heaven and man, the "heavens" that the practitioners of the three sects of Dao, Buddha, and Demon are actually invisibly different, and may all be regarded as a certain aspect or corner of the Heavenly Dao.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Zhixuan thought of the Jindan Avenue that he had cultivated in his two lifetimes and the [Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method] that he had always coveted, both of which were positive and strange, although the latter said that it could make people enter the Dao from demons, but in fact, it was the unity of Dao and Demon, that is, the supreme Demon Dao that had risen to the infinite level of the Heavenly Dao, and there was still an essential difference between the Heavenly Immortal Righteous Dao and the Heavenly Immortal Righteous Dao of Jindan Dao.

Although Shi Zhixuan did not obtain the second volume of the [Dao Heart Seed Demon Great * Method] annotated by Xiang Yutian, and did not know how Xiang Yutian, who was the first to cultivate the Demon Seed, speculated and explored the evolution of the Demon Seed in the Broken Void (Great * Law Twelfth Layer Demon Immortal Realm) and even higher levels, Shi Zhixuan also had his own thoughts about this and intended to put it into practice.

"The difference between Buddha and demons, the difference between one thought...... The so-called stones from other mountains can attack jade, and if you study the Buddhist scriptures and are familiar with the Buddhist way, it should be of great benefit to you to form your own demon path. ”

Shi Zhixuan said, took out a book from his arms, untied the silk satin bag containing He's Bi behind his waist, and handed it to Liu Taozhi together, "This codex is the way of the integration of Zen and martial arts that I have summarized, and it can be called the most perfect combination of martial arts and Zen in the world!"

If you can integrate the contents of this codex, you will benefit greatly from studying thousands of Buddhist scriptures like a fly...... He's Bi function calms the spirit, condenses wisdom, and may be able to help you!"

Without waiting for the shock on Liu Taozhi's expression to dissipate, Shi Zhixuan patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Work hard, Sao ** year......!

"......" Liu Taozhi's eyelids trembled, and he silently recovered from his facial paralysis. (To be continued.) )
