017 turn to the wind and moon, living color and white bones

My good fortune came quickly. When I was helping to carry the flour bag in the noodle restaurant that day, I rolled up my sleeves, and Sister Han saw the bruised scars on my arms. She asked me what was going on? I said a set of nonsense that the gentleman had made up for me a long time ago: I joined a fight club organized by the school, and practiced boxing and taekwondo with the senior sports students.

Sister Han pushed me to the back kitchen and closed the small door, insisting that I take off my coat and let her take a closer look at the injury. I couldn't hold on, so she took off her shirt and let her see the scars on my body. To be honest, the injuries on my body were not serious, but they were just minor bruises and abrasions on the skin, but they were bruises, purple and scary, looking weird. Sister Han carefully stroked the scar on my chest with her fingers, for fear of touching it, and I said in a heart-aching tone: "You kid, how did you make yourself like this, your classmates are too ruthless, or you don't practice." ”

When Sister Han spoke, her face was close to me, and she even wiped her head against the tip of my nose. I stood there bare-chested, smelling a strange fragrance around my nose, and I felt itchy in my heart, and there was an indescribable feeling. I felt embarrassed and couldn't push her away. Finally, when she finished reading my injuries, I was now sweating all over my body, probably nervous. When she left that day, she gave me a jar of ointment, saying that it was to rub on my body to heal my wounds.

This ointment is contained in a large bottle of skin care products, and at first glance, it looks like the bottle of moisturizer used by Sister Han. But instead of a moisturizer for women, the bottle contained a strange ointment. The ointment felt similar to a cool oil applied to a bruise, first hot, then cold, and after the cold, the whole body felt much more comfortable. It seems that Sister Han has a lot of elixir to heal injuries, last time I vomited blood and was injured, she sent medicine to save me, this time I gave me this strange plaster, I am becoming more and more curious about her origin.

Sister Han's ointment is very effective, and I guess it is similar to the external secret medicine of the golden bell jar that the wind gentleman said. I smeared it thinly all over my body, and the scars all over my body were very fast, and when I practiced the Earth Divine Skill again, I felt that my bones and skin were much stronger. With the ointment, the impact of rolling on the rocky beach seemed easier and easier, and I rolled faster and faster on the ground. Fortunately, there were very few people around the riverbank, otherwise they would have thought I was a perverted psychopath.

......

Shang Yunfei said that he would go to his master on Sunday to ask for advice, but in fact he came to me after another week. Yun Fei said to me with a bitter face: "My master scolded me for a while, and then he asked me carefully about your situation and asked me what Buddhist exercises you had learned before. I said, I taught you to stop and breathe, and then you yourself learned a set of impure views in the four minds...... The old man said that since he had learned the view of impurity, there was a way, and he asked me to teach you the view of white bones...... He said that after teaching this white bone view, I can't care about your business anymore......"

It's good if there is a way, as for Shang Yunfei to stop caring about me in the future, it doesn't matter, he has already made me suffer a lot this time. The Wind Gentleman actually let me practice donkey rolling on the river beach, fortunately, I had Sister Han's elixir, otherwise I would have made this kid miserable.

The White Bone Concept that Yun Fei taught me can be said to be in the same vein as the Impure Concept that I had cultivated before. Buddhism says, "The leather bag contains blood, the red and pink skeleton, and all hues and edges are empty." "The White Bone Meditation is precisely this method of meditation, visualizing the discrete skin of the whole body in a fixed state, starting from the toes, from top to bottom, and finally reaching the top gate of the Baihui. The skin of the whole body gradually melted away, leaving only a white bone. The white bones were pure, and white light flowed. The essence of this view is similar to that of impurity, and the key lies in "sacrificing oneself." If the body skin is still gone, why be afraid of thunder in your ears?

Yunfei was very simple when he talked about the Fa, but when I practiced that night, I felt that it was much more difficult. The difficulty is not whether or not the mind at the time of visualization can be realized, because I have practiced impure meditation before, and it is not difficult to grasp this kind of visualization. What really bothers me is the thunder in my ears.

In my concentration, I visualized the discrete skin of my whole body, starting with the toes to expose the phalanges, and then going up to the calves ....... Originally, after I learned the Wind Gentleman's "Earth Divine Skill", although there was still thunder in my ears in the fixed realm, and the rolling sound had faded a lot, but this time the thunder suddenly became louder. The thunder is regular, and the more the skin melts away and the more the bones are revealed, the louder the thunder becomes. It seemed that as the White Bone Temple advanced upward, the thunder became more and more concentrated in my mind, becoming a kind of suppressed roar. When I contemplated the position of my sternum, I finally couldn't bear the thunder and my heart was out of place. This first day of the White Bone View did not succeed.

The next night, the white bone view in the fixed state was moving up from the toes, and the whole body had turned into a white bone in his mind, and although the thunder in his ears was getting louder and louder, it was still bearable. However, when this visualization of "skin dissolution" rose to the position of the skull, there was a sudden thunderous explosion like a burst, which was more intense than any thunder I had heard before. (There may be many people who have practiced the Kung Fu of the White Bone Concept, and it is not so difficult, but most people are just conjectures, and only in the fixed state is the true view of the Dharma, of course, in the case of Ishino in the text, this case is a special case.) )

On the third night, before I sat down, I took a long time to calm my mind, and I was fully prepared for the possible thunder, and I thought that another thunder like that would not break my mind. Sure enough, it was the same as last night, and after a deafening thunder, I was still sitting still, only to feel the golden light in front of me, and then suddenly everything calmed down. The thunder was gone, the silence was extraordinary, and after a flash of golden light, there was a light in the skull, and in the white light I saw a real white bone—my own skeleton. (Xu Gongzi's note: As for why Shi Ye knows that it is his own skeleton, it is more troublesome to explain, and I believe that friends who have cultivated to the realm of "inner vision" should have some experience.) )

I "saw" my own bones, but not with my usual eyes, but with a strange look out of nowhere. This feeling is difficult to describe, and there is an extra eye in the dark, and I see a skeleton of myself, this white bone sits upright, surrounded by white streamers!(Xu Gongzi's note: The white bone is witnessing the reality, not the mental image, not imagining a skeleton of oneself, but really seeing a skeleton.) That's how successful it is. )

......

"You really saw your own skeleton?Damn! I didn't expect this to be like this when I was in big trouble now!" After hearing that I had verified the White Bone View, the Wind Gentleman not only did not show a happy look, but frowned and said something strange.

"What's the trouble? Am I wrong again?"

"Your kung fu is not bad at all, but the road is not the same as I thought. Shi Ye, do you want to learn 'Zhiguan' or do you want to learn 'Dan Dao'? If you want to jump out of the red dust and be born and practice, then go down the current path, if you want to seek immortality, long-term vision, and Taoism, then the current realm of the White Bone View is not in line with the Dan Dao. ”

"Why don't they match? I think it's all good, it's all amazing. ”

Feng Junzi had a rare serious face: "The various cultivation methods seem to be similar, but in fact, many of them are completely different. It's all different beliefs, I only taught you Dan Dao, and I didn't tell you the worldview of the people in Dan Dao. For example, the view of impurity and the view of white bones are all methods of 'sacrificing one's body', while the inner pill technique is the most standard method of 'immortality'. The method of sacrificing one's body emphasizes giving up the greed for the physical body, while the method of immortality pursues that the furnace is not bad, which are two completely opposite directions. I can't say which path is right, but you can only go one way or the other. ”

I thought about it for a long time, I never seemed to have any intention of becoming a monk, when I first started practicing the Dao, it was just because of curiosity and the need for health, and then I continued to practice more or less because I wanted to help Liu Yiyi and Teacher Liu. In this way, it is better for me to take the route of the Dan Dao, and besides, Shang Yunfei has already said that he will not care about my cultivation in the future. No matter how much I want to cultivate, I can only follow the Wind Gentleman. So I said: "Feng Junzi, I don't want to become a Buddha on the ground, let's learn the Dan Dao with you, immortality, I haven't thought about it yet, but you haven't taught me the magic power of the Dao yet." ”

The Wind Gentleman looked into my eyes and said slowly, "So this is troublesome, you have already gone to another road, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to pull you back." Shi Ye thought that when you and Yun Fei learned to rest with your heart, and then you learned the impure view with the fortune teller Mr. Zhang, and then to the Nine Buddha Festivals, and then to the White Bone View in the past few days, do you have any sense of déjà vu? Have you seen it anywhere?"

"Déjà vu, I'm practicing the Dao Fa for the first time, and I've never seen anyone else practice it. How could you have seen it somewhere?"

Feng Junzi smiled faintly, took out a thick book from his schoolbag and handed it to me: "Do you see if there is any impression of this "Journey to the West"? Don't tell me that you haven't read the villain book, you should have read it, and you still remember the allusion to the somersault cloud?"

Journey to the West, somersault clouds, Feng Junzi mentioned this to me, I have a bit of an impression, when Shang Yunfei taught me to meditate, I moved in meditation, and was pulled by Feng Junzi to the stadium to play God Boxing, and half funny said, I refined into a somersault cloud. Thinking about the story in Journey to the West, there is a bit of a secret similarity between Sun Wukong's experience in the gossip furnace and my experience of cultivating the impurity of the fire concept! Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and I and Feng Junzi were not so beautiful, but they just staged a farce of "sealing gods" in the mountain temple. As for the current view of white bones, when I think of the concept of white bones, I unconsciously pronounce the word "white bones" in my mouth.

"Yes, it's the part of the three dozen white bone spirits. Journey to the West is not only a literary work, but also a proverb about spiritual practice. Think about why you spent three days cultivating the White Bone Concept?"

"Because of the thunder in my ears. ”

"The thunder in the ears is good, but the thunder in the ears has thought of something? Why didn't Sun Wukong succeed in beating the white bone spirit twice before?"

"Is it to--the Tightening Spell?"

The Wind Gentleman finally laughed out loud: "Yes, your tightening spell is the thunder in your ears. This is the proverb about cultivation in Journey to the West. Looks like you're not stupid either!"

Feng Junzi said that there is a hidden practice in Journey to the West, I understand it, but on the other hand, I am even more confused. Who is this Wu Chengen? Can the book be written like this? Feng Junzi ignored what I was thinking, and still said on the side: ""Journey to the West" talks about cultivation, but it is actually tendency, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is to suppress the Tao and promote the Buddha. The book is very good, but this is the theme, I don't like it very much, and when I have the opportunity, I will write a "Journey of Travel" by myself, and I must not let the protagonist do that. ...... Now I have a question for you: If you are the Monkey King, would you be willing to be the Monkey King when you made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, or the Monkey King after learning scriptures and becoming a Buddha?"

Damn, do you still need to think about it, I replied casually: "Of course, how comfortable it is to be the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace!

"It's good if you think so, then I will also find a way to help you, and you will continue to cultivate the Dan Dao!" said the Wind Gentleman with a sly smile, like a weasel stealing a little hen, but I didn't notice.

"How can you help me?

"Of course there is a problem, what you see in the current state is white bones, how can I teach you to collect medicine and make pills, but don't worry, give me a few days, I will definitely be able to think of a way." ”

......

Feng Junzi said that it was much faster to find a way than Shang Yunfei to find a way. The next day, as soon as he got out of the morning self-study, he grabbed me from behind his seat and whispered, "Ishino, I thought of a way, I found it in the book!"

I turned around and asked curiously, "What's the solution? Which book?"

Feng Junzi triumphantly handed over a brick book thicker than a dictionary, with three big characters written on the cover: "Famous works to the famous works Cao Xueqin PK Wu Chengen Fengyue Baojian reversed the white bone view, I am really a genius! You look at the page where I put the bookmark yourself, the focus is on the paragraph where the line is drawn, that is the formula!" I opened this book of "Dream of Red Mansions" with tears and laughs, and found the part where the wind gentleman drew the line.

Jia Rui took the mirror and said: "This Taoist priest is interesting, why don't I take a picture and try it" After thinking about it, he picked up the "Fengyue Jian" to take a picture of the opposite side, only to see a skeleton standing in it, so Jia Rui hurriedly covered up and scolded: "How can the Taoist bastard scare me!--I will take a look at the front again." Thinking about it, he took a frontal photo again, only to see Sister Feng standing inside and beckoning to him. Jia Rui felt happy in his heart, and after entering the mirror and talking to Sister Feng, Sister Feng still sent him out. Jia Rui felt sweaty. There was a puddle left underneath, and I turned over the front, only to see that Sister Feng was still beckoning to him, and he went in again. And so three or four times. This time, just as he was about to come out of the mirror, he saw two people coming and taking an iron lock to trap him, and then left. Jarry shouted, "Let me take the mirror and leave." —I had said this and could not speak again.

I can see what this paragraph means, it is nothing more than saying that Jia Rui was addicted to ** and died due to evil thoughts, but what does this have to do with me? I raised my head and looked at the wind gentleman with questioning eyes. Feng Junzi saw my question, came over and said sneakily: "In fact, there has long been a qigong in the society, called Fengyue Baojian, which is said to be able to maintain health and lose weight. These four words are the allusions in "Dream of Red Mansions", so I went to see "Dream of Red Mansions", and sure enough, I found a way. ”

"Do you want me to practice that Fengyue Baojian's qigong?

Feng Junzi shook his head: "Although you are not stupid now, you are not as smart as Cao Xueqin." Didn't you read what the book says? This Fengyue Treasure is a pink skeleton when it is taken backwards, but when it is taken upright, it is a vivid color! I don't want you to take it in reverse, can't you just take a photo in the opposite direction? You can come out of the realm of the White Bone View and re-correct the flesh furnace. ”

"What? You told me to take a picture! Isn't that the same as Jia Rui in the book? Jia Rui is dying! Besides, where can I find the Fengyue Treasure Treasure?"

Feng Junzi kept shaking his head: "No, no, no, no, how can you be Jia Rui! I will teach you a mental method, as long as you do what I ask, you will be fine." As for the Fengyue Treasure Book, of course I don't know where to go to find it, and I don't know if there is one in the world. As long as you use the Yuanguang Mirror spell of the Buddha, the Qingying Mirror can be completely like the Fengyue Baojian in "Dream of Red Mansions", so I don't have much research on the Taoism of Buddhism, but I just know the Yuanguang Mirror...... No problem!"

I was muttering across the desk with Feng Junzi, and I happened to be seen by Ji Xiaoyu on the side, and when she saw that I was flipping through a thick book, she also leaned over to take a look. At this glance, I happened to see the part where the line was drawn in the book, Ji Xiaoyu's face turned red, and he whispered: "Not serious!" Although the voice was small, I heard it, and when I turned my eyes to look at Ji Xiaoyu, I saw that although she said this, her face was not disgusted, but slightly shy. This girl Hanchun's expression made me feel distracted.
