Chapter 5 Xuanzang's first experience of cultivation
The sun rises and sets, and the moon quietly occupies the sky with a sky full of stars! After a day of noise, the pilgrims who worship the Buddha come and go sporadically, and there are not many monks, so when the night comes, they go back to their rooms, and everything in the temple is quiet in this night. The only sound www.biquge.info the pen seems to be the chirping of cicadas, which are always tireless, as if they want to tell the world about their existence until autumn arrives and declares their ultimate fate. And Xiao Xuanzang is working his daily compulsory course - copying scriptures amid the sound of cicadas.
It seems that it can never be copied, and the third watch will go to the top of the mountain to meditate, but the third watch is always owed a lot, so tomorrow when the abbot of Fa Ming preaches the scriptures, he will be punished again, and then he will not be copied, and the result is that he will be punished, from the "Zhong A Han Sutra" to the "Zengzhi A Han Sutra" and then to the "Five Points" but it is to copy the rhythm of the entire Tibetan scripture building, think about it has been a long time since I went back to my meditation room to sleep.
Xiao Xuanzang didn't have the heart to think too much, maybe because there were some unknown benefits of meditation, or because he was becoming more and more proficient, but the speed of copying scriptures was getting faster and faster. He now thinks that today's meditation is over, but he has time, and it's a big deal to stay up all night to get it out, so he thinks that the speed of his pen has accelerated a few points.
"It seems that the third watch is almost over!" Suddenly this idea came to me, and I got used to it, after all, I insisted on it for so long, and I should have gone to the top of the mountain to meditate every day, and I was about to be able to accurately judge the time of the third watch! Then I shook my head, dipped the brush in ink, and picked up the pen and started to copy again, but I felt that someone had patted me on the shoulder, and I turned around in a hurry, but I saw the serious and kind face of the abbot of Faming.
"Master, haven't you slept yet?" the pen that had just been about to write was raised again, and he said casually.
"Aren't you going to meditate today?" Abbot Faming didn't want him, but said lightly.
"Isn't the meditation over? I've finished eating that Bigu!" Xiao Xuanzang asked a little puzzled, but he remembered Bigu Dan, what a good thing!
"Bigu Dan is gone, but who said you don't have to meditate?" Abbot Faming was a little faintly disappointed, this apprentice is just stupid if everything is good.
"Do you want to go, Master? Can you go again tomorrow? Slow down today! You want to combine work and rest!" Xiao Xuanzang said a little coquettishly, his eyes still glanced at the scriptures that had not been copied from time to time, but he was thinking in his heart that he would finish copying the scriptures so as not to be punished for copying them again tomorrow!
"I'll go first! you catch up with yourself!" Abbot Faming ignored him, and said to himself, leaving only a virtual shadow in the next moment, and then disappeared into the scripture building.
"Master~" Looking at the place where the abbot of Faming disappeared, Xiao Xuanzang stretched out his hand and called out the name of the master weakly, but only an oil lamp swayed slightly to give a response. In the end, I had to sigh, wash the pen, hang up the pen holder, blow out the oil lamp, and then close the door of the scripture building, go out of the temple gate, and run towards the mountain with a smoke.
Finally, I came to the top of the mountain out of breath, and saw that the abbot of Faming had been standing there for a long time.
"Come, come here!" Abbot Faming sensed that Xiao Xuanzang had arrived, but he didn't look back, just said lightly!
Xiao Xuanzang heard Abbot Fa Ming's words, took a fierce breath in place to calm down his breath, and then walked over, standing behind the master, but found that there was a futon on the ground, and strange patterns were painted crookedly on the ground around the futon, some of which were like some Sanskrit texts that Xiao Xuanzang often copied but were not, and some of them were a bit like the oracle bone inscriptions he had seen in his previous life, but he couldn't distinguish them! Seeing this, he was a little unclear, but he didn't know whether to ask or not, so he had to stand there and wait for the master's next words.
"Sit down on the futon!" didn't disappoint Xiao Xuanzang, feeling that he was coming, Abbot Faming gave instructions next, and then turned around and looked at Xiao Xuanzang!
Under the gaze of the abbot of Faming, Xiao Xuanzang obediently walked to the futon, sat down gently, habitually posed in a meditative posture, made his hands in the shape of flowers, and laid them flat on his knees, and then looked up at the master slightly, and continued to wait for the following, he faintly felt that something was going to happen, maybe the master wanted to teach him the real cultivation method, but he was not sure. It's just a look full of expectation, but it is silent.
"Do you know why the teacher wants you to come to this mountain to meditate?" Abbot Faming also looked back at Xiao Xuanzang, but his eyes were full of love.
"Xuanzang doesn't know!" Although there was some suspicion, Xiao Xuanzang didn't dare to say it, so he had to honestly say that he didn't know!
"You must know that this mountain is the main peak of this mountain range, and the underground aura is also the thickest, I let you feel the heaven and earth here, and let you try to merge with this world, in fact, it is to make this mountain familiar with your existence, but also recognize your existence, and treat you as a part of this mountain. Abbot Faming said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but there was a faint hint of solemnity! Xiao Xuanzang, who listened, was stunned for a moment, but listened to the master continue: "Don't you want to learn to cultivate?
Xiao Xuanzang listened to it and immediately did it, but it was very familiar, the body naturally sat upright, the mind was empty to feel everything around him, and from the depths of his soul to perceive the feeling of his own fusion in this world, but after a while, he was already completely in the state, and his ears vaguely heard what the abbot of Faming was reading, speaking very fast, and finally shouted, and then he felt that two fingers were his eyebrows, and after a slight pain, he felt that something flowed from his fingertips into the center of his eyebrows, and then he felt that the pressure of the shadow came from the world around him, and in all directions, clinging to every inch of skin, it was pressed tightly, but I heard the voice of the abbot of Fa Ming: "Do you feel it, let them go, let them in!" Although some people don't quite understand what this sentence means! But he believed that what the master said was definitely right, that is, he tried to let go of the last layer of vigilance against this world, as if he had suddenly lost the combination, he felt that something was constantly pouring in from outside the body, and the futon he sat down seemed to have moved, and a force rushed up from under the futon, he felt that he had been washed away from the futon, and the whole person felt like he was floating in the void, but there was something power surrounding him, and he just wanted to open his eyes to see, but he found that the quiet energy in the center of his eyebrows suddenly began to move, and he was inexplicably restless in the center of his eyebrows, but he heard who was talking in a trance, like the voice of the master, and as if he was chanting scriptures, muttering, The trace of energy in the center of the eyebrows was quiet, and then it began to take root and sprout, it really began to take root and sprout like a seed, slowly having roots and whiskers began to spread, and the energy that the body had just absorbed seemed to have been instructed, first gathered in the dantian, and then it was like a kind of learning, and it also began to take root and sprout, and the roots also slowly spread until each meridian was occupied by them, and then there was no then, and it disappeared like this, leaving only the dantian as if it was slowly bearing fruit in the germination place, and finally leaving a small dot, but only the size of the tip of the pen, quietly suspended and rotating, Attract the energy absorbed from all parts of the body, and then slowly condense the energy, attached to the small dots, which has increased imperceptibly, and the center of the eyebrows is also like this, first the roots spread, and the last time it disappears, leaving only a small dot at the center of the eyebrows, but it is not moving. It was also when the roots disappeared and left those two small dots behind, but the murmuring in my ears also disappeared!
Xiao Xuanzang felt like this, feeling the energy from all directions converging in his body, and then attaching to the small dots in the dantian, just like this, there was a cycle on one side, he felt like he was completely integrated into the universe, everything around him was so kind, he was suspended somewhere, the world was only left with himself, and he slowly forgot the time, the space, and the place he was in, and why was it so.
Until I felt a ray of light shining on myself, I naturally slowly opened my eyes, and the mountain top was still in front of me, the sun had just risen, scattering a ray of morning light, which happened to shine on the top of this mountain, everything in front of me seemed so familiar, but it seemed so strange, there was a feeling of being in a different world.
"Awake?" A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw Abbot Faming standing behind him, looking at him lovingly. Seeing him look back at himself, he smiled slightly.
"Master!" At this moment, he was completely awake, all the feelings returned, and the world became real, the feeling of being separated from the world just now dissipated all of a sudden, and he called softly, and the master actually guarded him all night, and a kind of softness slowly floated.
"Get up when you wake up!" Abbot Faming just lightly ordered!
Xiao Xuanzang immediately stood up from the futon when he heard this, but he found that the pattern around the futon had disappeared at some point, and he didn't know why, and he didn't know whether to ask, so he just stood up silently, came to the master, made a joke, and called the master again.
"Hmm, do you remember the Fuhu Arhat Fist that taught you yesterday?" Abbot Faming still only asked lightly.
"Yes! Xuanzang remembers. Xiao Xuanzang could only respond obediently.
"Then let's call and take a look!" Abbot Faming continued to command!
"Yes, Master!" just answered, walked a few steps, found an open place, and began to set up a table!
First there is a starting style, and then there is a set of movements not only not forgotten, but still more fluent, every movement, whether it is a punch or a kick, or a jump, is also more powerful, and it is majestic.
With the beginning of the action, Xiao Xuanzang just felt that the small dot that had calmed down and was suspended in the dantian began to rotate again, but it seemed to be rotating in the opposite direction, and the energy attached to it turned back into energy with the rotation, and the roots that disappeared after spreading to the meridians also appeared anew, appearing in the left hand when the left hand punches, and appearing in the right leg when the right leg is jumping. It made him happy for a while, but he was a little surprised. I wanted to stop and ask Abbot Faming, but I didn't know how to ask, and finally I had to feel this different feeling while honestly finishing this set of Fuhu Arhat Boxing!
After Xiao Xuanzang finished his work, he stood in front of Abbot Faming again, and then raised his head and looked at the master with expectant eyes, but he hoped that the master would explain all this.
"Well, yes, how do you feel?" said Abbot Fa Ming, who asked him first.
"It feels good, but, Master, what's going on? What's here?" said Xiao Xuanzang, pointing to his eyebrows: "And here! There seems to be a small dot appearing," and then pointed to his dantian. After speaking, he raised his head and continued to look at Abbot Faming with expectant eyes.
"The center of the eyebrows is a seed planted for you by the teacher, as for what it is, you can figure it out for yourself in the future! Abbot Faming explained, and after a pause, he said: "Everyone and biological cultivation basically starts by absorbing the energy around them, and the absorbed energy needs a place to store, different people and creatures have different ways and forms of energy storage, and your dantian is the place where energy is stored, and the small dot you are talking about is the form of energy stored in your body." ”
"Then, Master, when I played the Tiger Arhat Fist, I felt that there was something in the meridians spreading in it, what was going on? At first, it grew like a root to the meridians of my body, and then it disappeared again, but just now when I performed the fist technique, it appeared again!" Xiao Xuanzang was about to ask all the questions in his heart, and when it came to the spreading meridians, he also made two fists.
"That's what you're going to do with your energy! Abbot Faming continued to answer, but finally said, "Okay! It's time to go back, just remember to practice what I taught you." In the future, I will still come here to meditate and cultivate, remember to sit on the futon, where the spiritual energy in the ground is located for the teacher. There is also a boxing method where you don't understand or something else, you can find your Fazhen uncle, but don't mention the matter of cultivation. ”
As soon as Abbot Fa Ming's voice fell, he raised his right leg and disappeared in place, leaving only a few shadows, and some Xiao Xuanzang who was a little stunned because he was still thinking about what the master had just said.
Looking at the disappeared abbot of Faming, Xiao Xuanzang continued to be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, and played a set of Fuhu Arhat boxing, and then also performed a divine step, although he did not just leave a shadow, it was also amazingly fast, but it disappeared on the top of the mountain like a gust of wind.
