CHAPTER XXXIII
Although the old monk was shocked by the spirit of swordsmanship, he was a monk after all, and in a moment he returned to the realm of immobility and tranquility and sincerity!
"The first sword... The first sword...!" Zhou Yunwen kept repeating such words in a low voice as if he had been greatly stimulated, as if he was crazy!
"Clumsy!" A rich voice sounded from the old monk's mouth, accompanied by the sound of the old monk tapping the coffee table with his index finger, Zhou Yunwen, who was originally crazy, suddenly sobered up, and his chaotic facial expression became peaceful, "Thank you, senior!" Zhou Yunwen, who came to his senses, also knew the cause and effect, if it wasn't for the old monk to wake him up in time, he was likely to fall into this inexplicable situation and couldn't extricate himself, and the final result was that he went crazy and lost his mind!
As if doing a trivial thing, the old monk didn't say anything, but said to Zhou Yunwen: "Yunwen, you go down!"
Zhou Yunwen heard the words of the old monk sending off the guest, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that although the old monk was easy-going, he was definitely the same, he was also very respectful of the old monk, no longer procrastinating, got up and walked out of the room, but when he left, Zhou Yunwen unconsciously glanced at Ye Yi who was sitting upright, and there was a trace of complexity in his eyes, there was fear, respect, and unwillingness!
After Zhou Yunwen left, the old monk did not continue to ask questions about Ye Yi's swordsmanship, but began to fiddle with the tea set on the coffee table, "Does Ye Jushi drink tea?" asked the old monk as if he was boiling water.
"I don't have much time to drink tea!" Ye Yiguan said and did not know what he wanted, so he didn't think about it anymore, and answered according to the old monk's question.
After hearing Ye Yi's answer, the old monk no longer asked, as if he was devoting himself to boiling tea, Ye Yi looked at the situation in front of him and did not speak, looking at the continuous processes of the old monk boiling water, Hou soup, washing cups, soup pots, etc., he did not feel cumbersome, but felt that the old monk's continuous tea-making process seemed to be telling some truth!
A person carefully boiled tea, a person carefully observed, time passed quickly, about half an hour later, the old monk finally finished, "In the mountains and wilderness, there is no good tea to entertain, this tea is planted by local monks, please Ye Jushi taste!" After speaking, a cup of tea has been sent to Ye Yi.
Ye Yi carefully looked at the tea on the table, and suddenly asked, "Master, why is this tea?"
"Hehe...," the old monk smiled, "This is not tea!"
"Why not tea?" Ye Yi continued to ask
"In my eyes, he's just water!" said the old monk, and then he was silent.
Ye Yi was not entangled, picked up the teacup, and drank it all.
In fact, the tea that the old monk just brewed is the authentic Emei Zen tea, pay attention to the taste of Zen tea, "Zen" is the mind, "tea" is the spiritual bud of the material, and "one taste" is the communication between the heart and the tea, the heart and the heart. Zen tea talks about "righteousness, purity, harmony and elegance", the "righteousness" of Zen tea is the Noble Eightfold Path, "purity" is pure heart, "harmony" is six harmony and respect, and "elegance" is refinement.
The so-called right view, right thinking, right speech, right karma, right diligence, right life, right thought, and right determination are the Eightfold Path.
Pure mind, that is, pure and wonderful mind that is free from dirt, without greed, without anger, without ignorance, without resentment, without resentment, without restraint, ethereal and free, clear and clear, and harmonious and undwelling. That is, to get rid of the confusion of afflictions, that is, the clarity of Prajna, the sinking of darkness, and the freedom of ascending Bodhi. With a pure heart, frustration can be cured and endured, happy things can be treated lightly, honors and favors can be put aside, resentment can be endured, troubles can be dealt with quietly, and sorrows can be calmed and stable...... Tea tasting is the need to purify the mind, Zen tea must first be "quiet" and then enter "purity"; Those who are "quiet" are resting but crazy, and those who are "pure" are spotless.
The six harmony respects the body and dwelling together, the mouth and the absence of falsehood, the mind and the same joy, the precepts and the same initiation, the seeing and understanding, and the benefit and the same.
Correct, in line with the norm is called elegance; noble taste, transcendence, far-reaching interest, righteousness but not evil are all "elegant"; rich and noble, poor and lowly, out of the mud is not stained, do without doing, do without doing is elegant, the purpose of Zen tea is to understand the emptiness of Buddhism through "elegance". Everything in the universe, including human beings, is made of the four major things, namely the earth, water, fire, and wind, and the four major ones are expressed in the Zen tea tea ceremony, that is, the tea set is large, the water surface of tea is large, the heat of warming the tea is great, and the action of the tea ceremony or the wind of tea tasting is great. Although Zen tea is "empty", Zen tea contains ten thousand laws.
The purpose of Buddhism's teaching of "the four great emptiness" is to help people recognize the truth of life in the universe so that they can be freed from the shackles of their bodies and minds, and they can attain liberation and freedom.
Although Ye Yi drank just a simple cup of tea, it was also the essence of the Zen spirit of the old monk's life!
"I read the past number, in order to seek ** Gu, although the king of the world, not greedy for five Yu Le, beat the bell to tell the Quartet, who has **, if for me to say, as a slave, when there are five immortals, to white than the king, I have a micro temple law, the world is rare, if you can practice, I should say for me, when the king heard the fairy words, the heart is very happy, even with the immortals, supply in need, pay and fruit, at any time respectful and, love the temple law Gu, body and mind are tired, for the casting of sentient beings, diligent in ** and not for one's own sake, and for the sake of the great king, and diligently seek this law..."
When Ye Yi was in his stomach with a cup of tea, the old monk also folded his hands, and the peaceful Lotus Sutra slowly came out of the old monk's mouth.
At this time, Ye Yi seemed to see a majestic figure sitting in front of him, constantly telling himself about the truth between heaven and earth, talking about the wonders, only to see the golden lotus around him blooming, and then withering in an instant; the surrounding fragrance surged, and the wind and clouds reversed in an instant; a hundred birds gathered, and all beasts were silent; among the people, some were smiling, and some were crazy, and their hearts were turning. At this time, it seems that only the ethereal and boundless Buddha sound is left between heaven and earth.
Ye Yi felt as if he was going to indulge in this, at this moment, the figure of the sword dance in Ye Yi's mind suddenly moved, when Ye Yi was completely famous in the afternoon, the figure of the sword dance in his mind became a little dim, and he no longer danced the first sword, but started from the second sword, at this time, this figure seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly cast the second sword, shattering the peaceful and ethereal infinite Buddha sound and fantasy sword in front of Ye Yi's eyes!
The voice of the old monk chanting Buddhist scriptures also stopped abruptly, and Ye Yi's vision also returned to clarity, but Ye Yi didn't know what happened just now, he just felt as if he had a deep understanding of the second sword!
At this time, the old monk looked at Ye Yi with a look in his eyes that became very surprised, he was injured, and the injury was not light, he didn't understand why it was just a simple tasting of Zen tea!
Li Chongguang, who didn't know where he was, suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Does the bald donkey also want to intervene?!" I saw Li Chongguang pointing at him as a sword, as if he was slashing in the air at will, as if he had cut off an unknown silk thread!
In an unknown space that is not known how far away from the earth, a figure standing with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to pass through the heavy space, and he saw a small vibration on the little finger of the figure's right hand, "Oh, it's not within cause and effect...!" After a while, the figure smiled inexplicably and continued to stand with his eyes closed!
"Senior Li, is there anything wrong?" Lu Shaoyou hurriedly asked after seeing Li Chongguang's movements
Li Chongguang smiled, shook his head, and didn't speak!
Although he didn't understand, Lu Shaoyou knew what to ask and what not to ask, and since Li Chongguang didn't say it, then there was no need for Lu Shaoyou to continue asking!
"Let's go, I want to see Yangzhou in this world!"
