After returning to Fangcun Mountain, Yang Zhen couldn't wait to come to the door of Patriarch Subodhi, knocked on the door, and called softly: "Master!"

"Come in!" said Patriarch Subodhi's flat voice from inside the room.

Gently pushing open the door, Yang Zhen walked into the house. Entering Patriarch Subodhi's room again, Yang Zhen had a different feeling. In the past, Yang Zhen came here to learn the magic power of Taoism, but this time, he came to ask Patriarch Su Bodhi to solve the doubts in his heart.

Coming to the same place with different purposes can make you feel differently.

After bowing to Patriarch Subodhi, Yang Zhen respectfully sat on a futon and said to Patriarch Subodhi: "Master, the disciple has gained a lot from going out to practice this time, but he also has a lot of doubts, and the disciple doesn't know the answer, so he asks the teacher to teach me." ”

"What questions do you have?" asked Patriarch Subodhi lightly.

Closing his eyes, Yang Zhen recalled the experience of this period of time, and after sorting out his thoughts, he spoke: "The disciple has never forgotten to cultivate his mind when he practices on weekdays, and he never dares to forget the teacher's teachings in his heart. But this time when he went out, the disciple found that the disciple's murderous intent seemed to be too heavy......"

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment before continuing: "In recent years, whenever a disciple encounters something, he always wants to solve it by killing. Master, has the disciple encountered a demon?"

"Taoist cultivation pays attention to integrating into nature, and they call cultivating the mind as refining the mind, focusing on one 'refinement'. It is divided into six methods, namely, the wide mind, the right heart, the peace of mind, the calm mind, the calm mind, and the peace of mind. It can be summed up in four words, that is, 'tranquility and nothingness'," Patriarch Su Bodhi said slowly. "The cultivation of the Dharma is to seek the Dharma from within, not from the mind. ”

"As long as you conform to nature, feel nature, and transcend nature after the most detached. Until one day, the heavens follow the wishes of the people, the dust is cleared, the body and mind are unhindered, and the foundation is free, and the cultivation is considered to be a positive result. Tao is the process, Tao is the origin, Tao is the law, and the Tao is the law. In short, there are three thousand avenues, and all of them can be mixed. Take one and fix it, and learn from the rest. Patriarch Su Bodhi opened his eyes and looked at Yang Zhen fixedly, with some expectation in his eyes, which flashed with a charm that Yang Zhen had never understood.

"Master......" Yang Zhen called softly.

"You and Wukong are both people with excellent qualifications, excellent understanding, and great opportunities. Therefore, your cultivation is also different from ordinary people, and in just a hundred years, you have reached a state that is difficult for others to touch in a thousand years. But the heavens and the earth have always been the coexistence of chance and crisis, and while your cultivation is rapidly improving, your mind will also be confused by your own rapidly growing strength. Patriarch Subodhi said, "Your eyes will be blinded by the amount of force, and your body will be dominated by the amount of power, and the last ...... will be."

Hearing this, Yang Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "Master, what should a disciple do?"

"Let it be!" said Patriarch Subodhi.

"Let it be?" Yang Zhen wondered.

Patriarch Subodhi quietly looked at the disciple in front of him who was valued by himself, and half-loudly, Patriarch Subodhi waved his hand casually, and said: "In the past, Wukong has always been ahead of you, but this time, he is much behind you." ”

"Master......" Yang Zhen asked puzzledly: "Master, go with the flow, is it just with your heart?"

Shaking his head, Patriarch Subodhi smiled and said: "Going with the flow is going with the flow, as long as you keep understanding the way of heaven, one day you will understand." ”

"Do nothing?" Yang Zhen muttered.

"Hehe!" Patriarch Su Bodhi chuckled lightly and said to Yang Zhen: "Don't worry, you haven't practiced for a hundred years, and your understanding of the Heavenly Dao is not deep, so you don't need to be in a hurry to understand everything." The day you need to understand, you will understand. ”

After the words fell, Patriarch Subodhi sacrificed a lotus flower, sent it to Yang Zhen's hand, and then said to Yang Zhen: "Wuzhi, after you go back, open a pond in your courtyard and plant this lotus flower in the pond. ”

Respectfully taking the lotus, Yang Zhen responded: "Yes!"

"Wuzhi, you remember, since the beginning of the Long Han Dynasty, countless people with extraordinary talents have been born in heaven and earth, but there are very few who have survived until now. In the Great War of the Gods hundreds of years ago, the Sect of Ten Thousand Immortals was also defeated and destroyed, do you know why?"

Yang Zhen was about to leave, and when he heard the words of Patriarch Su Bodhi, he stopped. But without waiting for Yang Zhen to answer, Patriarch Su Bodhi said to himself: "That's because they have forgotten that 'cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind'. Now that you've remembered it, don't forget it again, and if one day you really forget, then ...... Let's go back to Fangcun Mountain. ”

Back at the residence, after Yang Zhen inoculated the lotus, he kept looking at the lotus in a daze. Although Patriarch Subodhi always emphasized that 'cultivation is the cultivation of the mind', Yang Zhen also understood that people always change, and they are changing all the time, so is 'cultivating the mind' to maintain the original mind, or to train the mind to a supreme and ethereal realm? Yang Zhen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't even understand how to cultivate the mind.

After talking to Patriarch Subodhi, Yang Zhen found that his doubts were not only not answered, but also had new doubts.

"Why did Patriarch Bodhi mention the Great Tribulation of the Great Desolation after the last time, did he want to tell himself?" Yang Zhen secretly guessed. Indeed, Yang Zhen had also checked some information about the flood famine in his previous life, and naturally understood how terrible the flood catastrophe was. Is it just that those who die under the catastrophe are really just because they have forgotten their 'hearts'?

The sun is falling, and the evening breeze is like a shuttle. Yang Zhen by the pool suddenly turned around and walked in the darkness by the moonlight. In the night wind, a low groan sounded: "Since you can't figure it out, let's go with the flow." Anyway, no matter how time passes and how my mentality changes, I am still me, I am Yang Zhen. ”

The bright moon was at the head, and the moonlight pulled the oblique shadow, projecting it in the depths of the woods, which seemed a little deserted. After thinking that everything would 'go with the flow', Yang Zhen felt that his heart that had been tightening finally relaxed. "Yang Zhen, the road to the future, you still have to explore it slowly, the supreme holy position is still waiting for you to climb. The secret of this world, the secret of the Heavenly Dao, the secret of the Great Dao, the secret of Pangu. All of this is waiting for you to explore, and you don't want to be defeated easily. ”

After taking a turn in the three-star cave of the slanting moon, Yang Zhen returned to his small courtyard.

The night breeze blows, the water ripples, and the lotus flowers that have not yet bloomed in the pond change from real to virtual, from virtual to real, gently swaying with the breeze. The moonlight is as old as ever, calm and unwavering, and everything is like a dream.
