657 Mysterious Old Man

Lin Xi's renunciation made Zheng Lei suffer a lot of blows, but it also opened a certain door in his heart, and suddenly, he felt something strange in his hand, looked down, and saw that the broom mark in his palm was constantly flashing with golden light.

Looking at the broom mark in the palm of his hand, Zheng Lei slowly said to himself: "Yes, it's time to sweep away the obsession that shouldn't be in my heart." ”

As his mind changed little by little, his steps became lighter and lighter. The long-held obsessions in his heart, with his mood, were swept away little by little, and his yuan consciousness involuntarily spread, feeling the surrounding green hills, the low chirping of insects, it also seemed clear, from this nature, he felt a very wonderful power, elusive, but real.

"Young man, since your heart is clear, why don't you talk to me?" an old but powerful voice came into Zheng Lei's ears.

Zheng Lei was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned to look, only to see that less than three meters behind him, there was an old man standing, dressed in a green shirt, with white hair and kind eyebrows, which made people unable to raise a trace of hostility.

"Junior, Baiyun Guan Zheng Lei, meet the seniors!" Zheng Lei said with Daomen etiquette.

The old man smiled and said, "Since you have let go of the obsession in your heart, how about walking with me?"

Zheng Lei bowed his head and said: "Follow the orders of your predecessors." ”

The old man smiled slightly, slowly walked in front of Zheng Lei, did not pause, and continued to walk forward, Zheng Lei followed, following the old man.

The old man's steps were very slow, and Zheng Lei followed easily, but the old man was very strange and never said a word.

"Seniors, juniors, dare to ask seniors whether they are Taoists or Buddhists?" Zheng Lei couldn't tell whether the old man was a Taoist or a Buddhist, so he couldn't help asking.

The old man said slowly: "What about Taoism? What about Buddhism? Do you know that there are three religions in the world?"

"Is the predecessor referring to Confucianism?" asked Zheng Lei.

"Yes, then do you know that the Three Sects were originally one family?" the old man then asked the alternate Paradise of the Two Worlds!

Zheng Lei said: "Patriarch Chongyang said that the three sects were originally one family, and as a disciple of Quanzhen, I naturally know this. ”

The old man said slowly: "Teacher Hongjun passed down the Taoism and transformed the world, although it is divided into three religions, but it is the same way, since you have cleared the obsession in your heart, why should you be obsessed with the three religions?"

Zheng Lei was stunned for a moment, yes, he has always said that the three religions were originally one family, but how many people can really accept this statement in their hearts? The people of the world are dull, the sectarian disputes are becoming more and more intense, and there are even people of the three religions who do not get along with each other when they are old and dead.

Moreover, no matter which religion or sect it is, it is all tempting and good, and its purpose does not show that different paths lead to the same end?

In contemplation, the dark lock somewhere in Zheng Lei's heart seemed to be opened, making his state of mind clear, and after a long time, he woke up from his contemplation, but found that the old man was gone, and hurriedly looked around.

"I'm waiting for you at the Shaolin Temple, you can come. A word came through the air.

Zheng Lei smiled slightly, quickened his pace, and walked in the direction of Shaolin Temple.

When he walked to Shaolin Temple, it was already dark, and the staff of the scenic spot had already gotten off work, but this did not affect Zheng Lei's mind to seek the way, and the strange thing was that he swaggered into the gate of the scenic spot, but the scenic spot personnel on duty did not find him.

As if someone was guiding, Zheng Lei came all the way to the temple, and once again walked to the door that did not exist, and this time, he clearly saw that there were two wooden doors standing in that position.

Walking up and gently pushing open the wooden door, Zheng Lei was as calm as if he was going home, walked in, and saw the old monk sweeping the floor, Zheng Lei smiled and walked straight into the main hall.

At this time, the couplet hanging outside the main hall was noticed by Zheng Lei again.

Once it becomes a positive fruit, it is a Buddha and an immortal.

When he saw this sentence for the first time, Zheng Lei's heart was still very puzzled, but this time when he saw this sentence again, he had a different thought: What about the Buddha? What about the heart? As long as you can achieve positive results, aren't they all the desires of the people? Just like the people of the world, how about believing in the Buddha and what about believing in the Tao? As long as you can be dedicated to goodness? What is the difference between the Buddha and the Tao?

Walking into the main hall, the old man sits on a futon, there is no statue of God and Buddha in the shrine, and the position of the old man is also very strange, ordinary people sit on the futon, are facing the god, even if there is no god, they will sit or kneel towards the place where the statue should be placed, but the old man is facing the side, facing the shrine sideways.

Seeing Zheng Lei walk in, the old man pointed to the futon in front of him and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Zheng Lei sat down honestly and looked at the old man, but the old man didn't speak, just stared at him.

Finally, Zheng Lei couldn't help but ask: "Senior, why is there no statue of God and Buddha in this hall?"

The old man didn't look at it, but said, "If there is a god and Buddha in your heart, why do you need to worship it? If there is no god and Buddha in your heart, what is the use of offering it?"

Zheng Lei was stunned, this is also true, as long as you are dedicated to goodness, worshipping gods and Buddhas is just a form, if you do some shady things behind your back under the banner of worshiping gods and Buddhas, will gods and Buddhas bless these shameless people?

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Thank you seniors for solving your doubts, and the juniors have been taught." ”

The old man smiled slightly, and said: "Shaolin Temple is a holy place of Zen martial arts, the last time you came, I passed on some Zen martial arts to you, but you were blinded by the dust of your heart, and you have never been able to be in a mirror state, now you let go of your obsession, your mind is in a mirror, and you can practice Zen martial arts." ”

Zheng Lei raised his head, recalling that the last time he came, there were indeed a lot of martial arts paths in his mind, but after leaving the Shaolin Temple, he forgot all about it, and it wasn't until the second time he came that he had a slight impression in his mind, but it was not very clear, and it was not until now that these images appeared to be clear The latest chapter of the Chu Pulse Divine Throne.

The more he thought about it, the calmer his heart became, as if he was going to be one with this hall, and the images in his mind were gradually strung together to form dynamic pictures, showing him the mystery of Zen martial arts culture.

"Zen martial arts, one article and one martial arts, one inside and one outside, one movement and one static, one reason and one line, one body and one heart, one form and one meaning, is the so-called: Zen in Zen, Zen in Zen, Zen boxing is one. I will pass on to you the Yi Jin Sutra and the Washing of the Pulp Sutra, the external cultivation of the Yi Tendon, the washing of the marrow and the internal assistance, complementing each other. The old man said slowly, reaching out to Zheng Lei's forehead, and two light clusters, one green and one gold, submerged into his forehead.

As the light mass submerged into Zheng Lei's forehead, two large pieces of text appeared in his mind, one was the Yijin Sutra, which was cyan, and the other was the Pulp Washing Sutra, which was golden. He couldn't care to look at the content of these two texts, and opened his eyes suddenly, you must know that this Yijin Sutra and the Washing of the Marrow Sutra are the treasures of Shaolin Temple.

Now that he was passed on to him by this old man, how could he not be excited, and hurriedly said to the old man: "Thank you senior!"

The old man just looked at Zheng Lei quietly, like an old man looking at his grandson, full of love, he was not infected by Zheng Lei's excitement, and continued: "The Yijin Sutra was originally owned by the Taoists, and the Pulp Washing Sutra was owned by the Buddhists, but the source of the three religions is originally a family, and the Yijin Washing of the Pulp is the Sutra of Self-cultivation.

Zheng Lei shook his head honestly and said, "The younger generation is stupid. ”

"Although Confucianism has thirteen classics, it is headed by the Book of Changes, which can be said to be the holy book of Confucianism, and can also be said to be the holy book of the Three Religions.

"Confucianism, predecessors, are there still Confucian people today?" asked Zheng Lei.

"Hehe, how many people in today's world are not Confucians?" the old man smiled.

Zheng Lei was stunned, it is true, in today's society, no matter who you are, you have to participate in the study as soon as you are born, even if you don't say that the three religions are separated, everyone is a Confucian.

"I see, thank you seniors. Zheng Lei said.

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said: "The son can be taught, the Tao has been passed on to you, how much you can understand depends on your own creation, remember, the three sects are originally one family!"

Zheng Lei nodded, stood up and bowed deeply to the old man, and when he raised his head, he found that the environment around him had changed, it was pitch black all around, and there were not very bright lights flashing in the distance, and the main hall, the old man and the old monk who swept the floor all disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

He looked around, nothing unusual, spread out his Yuan Sense, and found himself in a mountain col outside the Shaolin Temple.

There is no need to guess, Zheng Lei knew that he had met a mysterious existence, although he didn't know who this old man was, but the old man's words were enough to change Zheng Lei's life, enough to make Zheng Lei's path of cultivation even more promising.

He didn't know how to thank this mysterious being, so he could only bow to the sky with Daomen etiquette to show his gratitude.

Although the world is unpredictable, the way of heaven is fair.

If Zheng Lei was standing in front of Lin Xi at noon, how could he know that he could still have such a situation in Shaolin Temple in this evening? Although Lin Xi's ordination made him very entangled in his heart, but now that he calmed down, he could also understand the bitterness in Lin Xi's heart.

Although he didn't know what Lin Xi's feelings were about him, he could guess a rough idea of Lin Xi's choice of this path, and he believed that Lin Xi chose this path, and his heart was still very painful, but since she chose this path, he could only silently bless her, hoping that no matter what road she walked, she could achieve positive results.

Life is so helpless, and lovers may not be able to become dependents. If we always keep that obsession in our hearts, when will there be an end to the sea of misery in our lives? When will the dust in our hearts be swept away?
