Chapter 15: The Bead Grass
"Huh?"
Ji Daozi and Chu Liuxian stopped and looked back.
Especially Chu Liuxian, a little flame of hope was rekindled in his heart. What kind of character can the Sixth Ancestor Hui be, how can he recall it casually, I am afraid that there is some other way.
Huineng also seemed to hesitate a little, and muttered for a long time, just when Ji Daozi was impatient to ask, he finally sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, maybe there is a way to save Lord Chu, just use this to end the cause and effect." ”
"What else can be done?"
Ji Daozi took two steps forward and stared at Huineng.
Chu Liuxian on the side was too, his heart was raised in his throat, and the peaks and loops turned, could it be that Huineng really had other ways to bring the dead back to life?
Huineng decided to go down, but relaxed, walked back to the futon and sat down, knocking on the wooden fish in front of him.
"Da~Dada~~"
The sound of the wooden fish stirred up ripples in the Arhat Palace, and its voice was deep and rhythmic, as if it was commanding something.
Ji Daozi and Chu Liuxian couldn't, so they could only wait patiently.
After a while, a little novice walked briskly, seven or eight years old, with monk's clothes and shoes, red lips and white teeth, and he looked very pleasing to men.
Chu Liuxian's gaze swept over Xiao Shami, and all his attention was on the purple gold bowl he was holding.
The purple gold bowl seemed to be full of dirt, and the little novice was weak and overwhelmed, and when he walked in, he staggered, making people worry about whether he would fall into a big fight.
Finally walked in front of Huineng, and Xiao Shami hurriedly handed over the purple gold bowl, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a cute smile.
Huineng stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the purple gold bowl, and said leisurely: "Two donors, I don't know if you have heard of the Zhuzhu grass?"
"Bead grass?"
Don't say that Chu Liuxian, Ji Daozi was stunned.
They've heard of it, they've heard it too.
Almost any Buddhist scripture that describes the Pure Land. will mention it.
In the Pure Land of the West, there is a spiritual river, called: Ganges.
The Ganges River is mighty, there is endless water, endless sand, and Buddhists often use the number of sand in the Ganges River to describe the immeasurable amount.
There is also a Buddha who bathed in it, and the Ganges River has a special status in Buddhism.
There are three living stones by the Ganges River, which can illuminate the past life, this life, and the next life.
On the side of the Sansheng Stone, there is a pearl grass!
"If you are born to believe in my Buddha, you will die in the Pure Land. He crossed the Ganges River to wash away the sins of the world, commented on his life's merits by the Sansheng Stone, and finally was able to serve my Buddha again. ”
"The pearl grass is the unique spiritual root of the pure land, with the water of the Ganges River as the drink, and the joys and sorrows of the Buddha's life as the nourishment. ”
"When it is ripe, it bears a vermilion fruit, and it is: a red bead. ”
When Sixth Ancestor Hui can say this, Ji Daozi and Chu Liuxian will both understand, and the key is in that bead.
"When the first bead in the world was condensed. It fell on its own, flew into the depths of the Pure Land, found a Buddha, and submerged in its body. ”
The Buddha was then reborn. Return to the yang world, and be able to sanctify the flesh and worship under my Buddha's door. ”
"There is just the way of the Buddha, stroking his palm and smiling: This grass shows cause and effect, and is good in return. Knowing the principles of Buddhism, good, good. ”
"Two donors. Do you understand?"
When Hui Neng smiled and asked, something strange appeared on the purple gold bowl, the soil separated, and a clear spring-like water appeared, and a seed with a shimmering red light floated in the water, floating in the air.
"This is the seed of the Bead Grass?!"
Chu Liuxian immediately understood, and at the same time understood the true meaning of the Buddhist allusions that Huineng said.
Just as the Buddha said, the meaning of the bead grass is the reward!
The bead grass knot helps people reshape their bodies, in order to repay.
From the words of the Buddha and the fact that the Zhuzhu grass is nourished by the joys and sorrows of a person's life, it is not difficult to judge that the Buddhist disciple who gets the return of the Zhuzhu grass must be the person who has the most joys and sorrows in his life and can raise the most Zhuzhu grass.
The pearl grass is ripe, and its fruit is rewarded!
"Lord Chu. ”
Huineng stared at Chu Liuxian and said, "Are you willing to be your master, nourish the Zhuzhu grass with your soul, and find the endless joys and sorrows as nourishment for it to blossom and bear fruit." ”
Chu Liuxian stared intently at the Zhuzhu Grass Seed and muttered, "If I can cultivate it to fruition, I can ...... it."
"Heal your master!"
Huineng stretched out his finger, and the Zhuzhu Grass seed slowly flew in front of Chu Liuxian, hovering a foot in front of his forehead, rising and falling slightly, exuding a red aura.
"The old man has to make it clear that once the bead grass is rooted in the soul, if it is not cultivated to bear fruit, it will not take root, and the true person of the sun cannot be lifted in person, absorbing all your emotions, indulging in joys and sorrows, love and hatred, and it is difficult to make waves. ”
"Have you figured it out?"
As soon as Huineng said his word, the three people in the Arhat Palace, Huineng, Ji Daozi, and Xiao Shami, all looked at Chu Liuxian, waiting for him to make a choice.
The consequences of Hui Neng couldn't be clearer, if you can't support the Zhuzhu grass to blossom and bear fruit, the price you pay is to be like a wooden man for a lifetime, and no one will have the emotions and pleasures of life.
Victory, difficult to rejoice;
defeated, no waves;
Leave, no sorrow;
Together, there is no joy......
......
At this time, Chu Liuxian smiled and smiled happily.
He laughed out loud: "Zhucao Shangsi returns, good understanding and return kindness, I, Chu Liuxian, am a disciple, how can I sit back and watch my teacher die?!"
Before the words fell, Chu Liuxian closed his eyes, and the secret method of empty thoughts exploded, as if a black hole had been opened at the center of his eyebrows, and the powerful divine soul energy broke out of his body, without even the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the seed of the Zhuzhu grass and inhaled it.
In an instant, Chu Liuxian's entire divine soul space was shaking, and a slender mustard seed floated on the golden heart lake, and the roots of weak mosquito legs kept growing.
Bead grass!
Take root and do not move, let the heart lake rise and fall, and then it cannot be moved!
During the whole process, Chu Liuxian closed his eyes tightly, his mind completely sank into the heart lake, and he didn't know what was going on outside.
Ji Daozi glanced at him deeply, and sighed at the Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "You see it?"
There was no head and no brain, but Huineng obviously heard it, and bowed his head slightly.
"You value this little baby. ”
Ji Daozi sneered: "Monk, what are you calculating?"
Huineng smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Real person, what are you having?"
The two stared at each other for a moment, then shook their heads and smiled.
On the side, the little novice scratched his head, looking ignorant.
A moment later, Chu Liuxian woke up. showed a happy face, bowed down and said: "Liuxian thanked Master Huineng for his mercy." ”
Hui Neng stretched out his hand and said, "Master Chu doesn't need to be like this, the old man is just ending the cause and effect." ”
Chu Liuxian faintly felt that something was wrong, the Zhuzhu grass was obviously not ordinary, although it was not easy to cultivate the Zhuzhu, but it could also be called the treasure of Buddhism, and its cherishing degree was still on the Bayeux Bodhi Seed.
How could Sixth Ancestor Hui hand it over so easily?
Chu Liuxian was puzzled.
A moment ago, they were all going to be disappointed, so why would Hui Neng let go of this treasure to end the cause and effect? Who knew that there was still such a treasure in the Buddha's sect?
Before today, I am afraid that even a true person like Ji Daozi thought that the Zhuzhu grass was just a legend solidified in the Buddhist scriptures.
Huineng seemed to see Chu Liuxian's question, smiled and said nothing, turned to look at Chu Liuxian with a strange look, and said meaningfully: "Lao Wei sees that Chu Shi's taproot is strong and his wisdom roots are deep, so he should have a ......relationship with my Buddha."
"Stop!"
"Brush", Chu Liuxian's eyes darkened. Ji Daozi was already in front of him, glaring at Hui Neng, "Monk, what do you mean?"
Look at the look on his face. It's like a cat or dog that guards food, and it's almost baring teeth.
Chu Liuxian smiled dumbly, thinking to himself, "Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng doesn't want me to be a monk, right? ”
Thinking of his bare head, he can reflect the light of the sun and the moon. The appearance that he doesn't need to light the lights at night, Chu Liuxian himself feels that he can't accept it.
"Let's go, your master is still waiting for you. ”
Ji Daozi watched for a long time. Huineng still looked meaningful, of course, in his eyes, it was the appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he couldn't help but have some foreboding, so he pulled Chu Liuxian up and walked out of the hall.
"Thank you, Master, for your help. He has a fate, and he should see him when he stays in the immortals!"
Chu Liuxian had just made a half-salute, and he was involuntarily pulled out by Ji Daozi.
In the blink of an eye, only the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng and the little novice were left in the Arhat Palace.
The Buddha hall, which had been noisy for a long time, was quiet again, and the needles could be heard.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Huineng shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if this son can survive this catastrophe?"
"Xuanli, what do you think?"
In the Arhat Palace, except for the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, there is only a little novice, and there is no third person, who did he say this to?
"I don't know. ”
It was the little novice who spoke.
Without the presence of outsiders, the look on Xiao Shami's face suddenly changed.
If Chu Liuxian and the others were still there, they would never believe that now this face was shining, looking extremely sacred, and the face of a virtuous monk was the handsome little novice with red lips and white teeth.
What they will be even more surprised is that the name of Xuanli is not the future Buddha who has just returned from the catastrophe mentioned by the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng before?!
Xuan Li also didn't know why Uncle Shi gave the Zhu Grass to this person so easily. ”
Xuan Li Qi said: "This treasure is the disciple of this robbery, in the underworld found a small fragment of the Ganges River, planted on the bank, the only one in the world, the little monk thought that the uncle would worship the Buddha in front of it." ”
Huineng twisted the Bodhi bead string and said lightly: "My Buddha is not stuck in things, whether it is the bead grass or the roadside weeds, how is it different from my Buddha?"
"What I wish as a Buddha is only to magnify the Buddha's door, and I hope that hundreds of millions of living beings in the world can get rid of the sea of reincarnation and suffering, and enjoy great happiness and freedom in the Buddha country and the Pure Land. ”
Xuanli bowed his head to be taught, but he still didn't understand, what does Guangda Buddhism have to do with Chu Liuxian, an immortal?
Huineng knocked on the wooden fish, chanted in a low voice, and began the evening class.
Just when Xuan Li thought that he would not get an answer, and pushed the eleventh ceremony out of the hall, Huineng's ethereal voice came from behind him:
"I feel the breath of my Buddha in this body......"
"This son is related to the Buddha!"
......
On another three days, Chu Liuxian and Ji Daozi returned to Qingxu Tian. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
