Chapter 54 Who suffers from the past without intention
Where is Foshan in the world of cultivation?
If you ask this question to the cultivators in the cultivation world, I am afraid that five pairs of ten will answer, Foshan is the eleventh mountain of Buddhism, the ten mountains of Buddhism are arranged in turn, gradually increasing, and the two mountains must be separated by thousands of miles, so Foshan is thousands of miles away after the tenth mountain, Da Leiyin Mountain.
In addition, those cultivators are afraid that they will also describe in detail to the person who asks in detail that Foshan is a statue of a man who stands tall and towering to the sky, although it is the body of a mountain and a rock, but the description is extremely realistic, as if a person is walking proudly between heaven and earth. And the reason why Foshan is so shaped is because Foshan is incarnated by the physical body left behind by the Buddha after Nirvana, that is to say, if you see the face of Foshan, you are like seeing the Buddha. On the top of the Buddha Mountain, there are countless Buddha statues, Bodhisattvas, flying heavens, King Kong and other holy shapes. There are also countless cultivation caves, and there are Buddhist monks who have great cultivation achievements living in them!
But if someone really follows such instructions, follows the ten mountains of Buddhism all the way to Da Leiyin Mountain, and then travels thousands of miles west, it is absolutely impossible to find Foshan. Don't talk about Foshan, I'm afraid that I can't even see a small hill, because in the big Leiyin Mountain and then go west thousands of miles away, the so-called human-shaped mountain foothold is a white land, and the radius of dozens of miles is bare, the grass and trees do not grow, and everything does not grow.
If you feel that you have been deceived by those practitioners because of this, then it is not right. Because even if you are a Buddhist, you will tell you that there is nothing wrong with the Buddha Mountain above the white ground. The problem is that if you want to go up to Foshan, you must first see Foshan, but it is not so easy to see Foshan, what is needed is a special opportunity!
This is not only the case in Foshan, but also the ten mountains in Buddhism, and I want to go up to any of them. It's all about being put to the test. Only those who are able to pass the test will be allowed to go up the mountain. This is also the Buddhists will especially emphasize the fate of the law, if you can't even pass the test of mountaineering, in the eyes of the people of Buddhism, it is not related to the Buddha. Those who have no chance belong to idle people, etc., and of course they cannot go up the mountain. Because there is no need to go up the mountain. The place where Buddhism practices is not a place for people to visit.
There are ten mountains and ten temples, and the test of each mountain is different, so the way to go up the mountain is also different. The different trials of each of these mountains contain all kinds of mysteries and proofs of the Buddhist practice. However, these tests are more to verify the fit between the state of mind of the person who wants to go up the mountain and the Buddha's teachings, rather than focusing on the cultivation of supernatural powers and spells. Otherwise, those who don't have a spiritual body won't be able to go up the mountain. And those with great powers can go straight ahead.
Among the tests of the Ten Mountains, for example, when Hei Jia took Lu Zheng to the foot of the Great Thunder Yin Mountain, he encountered the test of the Great Thunder Sound Mountain. First of all, there is no way up the mountain, and there is a large cloud and mist array blocking it from the mountainside, preventing people from going up the mountain. Why is there no way to go to the Great Leiyin Mountain? What we should deal with is the road that has no way to go in the practice of Buddhism, and the so-called 100 feet have been exhausted, how can we go further? Why is it a cloud seal and fog lock, because where the roadless road goes, it is not a place where you can see, hear, and perceive.
At that time, Heijia also mentioned to Lu Zheng the test of Huanxi Mountain. Just the opposite of this big thunder sound mountain, there is not only a road mountain. And it's a stone staircase that has already been hewn out. It's just that the stone steps don't know whether there are thousands or tens of thousands, but they are endless, and the length of the steps will be different depending on the people who go up the mountain, and the test is the ascetic method taught by Huanxi Mountain.
As for the test of the Mountain of Wrath, it is on the stairs of the mountain. Every time you take a step, a flame will burst out under your feet, as if you have stepped into a fire pit, so that people on the way up the mountain seem to be walking in a raging fire. Of course, these fires are not real fires. Rather, it is a kind of greed and attachment in the body and mind, and these various thoughts are transformed into the fire of the primordial spirit that can be felt.
Such flames are not manipulated by the Mountain of Wrath, but are channelled by the greed and obsession of those who ascend the mountain. No one can avoid it, no matter how high the realm is, no matter how strong the cultivation is, as long as there is greed and obsession in the heart, this fire will be born by induction, and no kind of supernatural power can avoid it. Therefore, the more greedy and the heavier the attachment, the more fierce the fire will be, and the milder the fire will be. There is only one way to keep this fire from happening, and that is to have no greed in your heart.
But it has been thousands of years since the Angry Mountain has existed, and there are very few people who can climb the mountain without turning into fire. Aside from the people in the Buddhist sect, there are a few people in the Taoist sect who have done this. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Daomen Butterfly Taoist once went up to the Angry Mountain, and there was no fire under his feet, but there was a breeze where he landed, and he floated up the Angry Mountain.
Butterfly Dao is a genius, and he can do this, and everyone doesn't think it's any surprise. As early as many years ago, when Lu Zheng had not yet entered the cultivation world, Huang Weiyang rode a white ox to the Angry Mountain one day for some reason, and did not get off the back of the ox, and you Youzai Youzai walked up the Angry Mountain, which surprised the monks in the Flame Nunnery.
Why do you mention the test of going up the mountain of anger? These are exactly what Lu Zheng and the monk of Anger were chatting about while hurrying. On the same day, Lu Zheng and Hei Jia talked about the test of the ten mountains of Buddhism at the foot of Da Lei Yin Mountain, but in the end, they only talked about Huanxi Mountain, and they didn't say anything about the other mountains. Although Lu Zheng was curious, he didn't want to take the initiative to ask Heijia. Now it happened that the monk was on the side, so of course I asked him for advice while I was in a hurry.
At this time, Lu Zheng and the monk of Hatred had already walked for a whole day after leaving the Two Realms Mountain and going to Foshan. Lu Zheng has never been to Foshan, of course he doesn't know the way to Foshan, but there is a monk with a resentful heart to lead the way, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it. That day, after receiving Lu Zheng's promise, the monk of Anger immediately parted ways with the Great Wise Monk and other monks, and let them turn back to the Angry Mountain on their own, and he took Lu Zheng and Chiling directly to Foshan together.
Strangely, there is obviously still a long distance from the Two Realms Mountain to Foshan, and according to the monk of resentment, the time is also very short. That being the case, it stands to reason that they should each perform the art of flying to the heavens, so that they can rush to Foshan in the shortest possible time and catch up with the Dharma meeting of the worldly venerable. But for some reason, the monk of resentment did not fly into the sky, but walked through the cultivation world with Lu Zheng with the method of divine practice.
At first, Lu Zheng thought that he was still nearby and had something to deal with, but after starting from the Two Realms Mountain and walking a whole day with the method of divine practice. The resentful monk was not in such a hurry, but took Lu Zheng to find a woodland to rest after sunset. Lu Zheng and Chi Ling gathered together and glanced at each other, both with a look of confusion in their eyes.
Why are they confused? As they walked down this day, they met quite a few practitioners on the way, most of whom were casual cultivators. There are also practitioners from some sects and families. When these people saw a bald monk, a teenager and a monster on the road together, they were all taken aback at first, and then they came to see their faces clearly. Some of the practitioners who had visited the Flame Nunnery recognized the bald monk as the high monk of the Angry Mountain, and they were immediately taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
Some of these cultivators happened to have participated in the Heavenly Providence Flower Incarnation Meeting of the Celestial Providence of the Righteous Mountain not long ago, and they were lucky enough to survive, and they quickly recognized that the monster beside the High Monk Hatred Master was not an ordinary monster, but the Red Flame Leopard Demon who had been fighting with the evil cultivator and the old man who had forgotten himself that day. Seeing the Red Spirit, these cultivators immediately remembered his Purple Fire Divine Courage that day. They were all shocked in their hearts, why did this monster stand next to the Master of Hatred? But often as soon as this question arose in their hearts, they saw in a blink of an eye that the young man was the Lord of Destiny who had refined the Destiny Flower!
So at that moment, the expressions of these cultivators changed from the surprise of seeing the angry monk at the beginning, then seeing the red spirit become shocked, and finally when they saw Lu Zheng, they were already a little afraid of how to express the horror in their hearts, so almost all of them said "Oops." It's you!" just shouted!
Lu Zheng, like Chi Ling, has never interacted with cultivators. They didn't recognize these practitioners either, so they all stood aside and didn't speak. Watching the angry monks greet them one by one, and then start talking. Those cultivators were a little cautious, trying their best to pretend to be natural and ask about the origin of Chi Ling and Lu Zheng, and at the same time, their eyes kept drifting towards them, especially Lu Zheng. The Lord of Destiny is at hand. It was unbelievable to them.
When the resentful monk personally confirmed the identities of Lu Zheng and Chi Ling in an extremely calm and natural tone. Lu Zheng and Chi Ling experienced some things that they couldn't have imagined. Except for some self-contained cultivators who greeted him normally, many of those cultivators showed all kinds of expressions and movements that they couldn't imagine. For example, some jumped in front of Lu Zheng, didn't say anything, and suddenly laughed wildly, while others stared at them up and down excitedly, as if they wanted to say hello. But he couldn't say a word for a long time, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was a cultivator who even danced up and down in front of them, and his mouth was even more strange. The coldness made both Lu Zheng and Chi Ling startled, and they jumped back a step away from the cultivator.
Fortunately, because he was in a hurry, the resentful monk would not talk to these cultivators for too long, and after saying a few words, he asked Shang Lu Zheng and Chi Ling to continue their journey. Otherwise, both Lu Zheng and Chi Ling would almost be unable to bear to constantly watch different cultivators do all kinds of weird things in front of them. Thinking of this, seeing that the resentful monk was sitting under a big tree, after Chi Ling and Lu Zheng glanced at each other, Lu Zheng spoke: "Master, the junior and Brother Chi Ling are not monks, they have to find something to eat, in order to avoid being rude to the master, they will go farther." ”
The resentful monk knew that they meant to hunt beasts to eat, and it was naturally not surprising that Chi Ling was a monster, and he didn't expect that Lu Zheng, as a cultivator who knew his fate, would actually eat meat. After thinking about it, he knew that it should be an excuse, and Lu Zheng was bound to discuss his intentions with Chi Ling along the way. So the monk said, "If the two donors go, they will rest here for one night tonight, and they will not be in a hurry to leave, and the poor monks will be waiting for you here." ”
Lu Zheng and Chi Ling responded, and immediately swept into the depths of the forest, with the cultivation of the two of them, it was naturally easy to catch some beasts. After a while, Chi Ling caught a yellow sheep, found a water source and washed it, tore it into pieces and put it on the leaves of the big plantain and sent it to Lu Zheng.
While the Red Spirit was catching the beasts and washing them, Lu Zheng had already collected a lot of firewood and built a big bonfire. While waiting for Chi Ling, he tried to talk to the master in white with his divine thoughts, but the master in white never ignored him. Lu Zheng had no choice, guessing that the master should be angry so he ignored himself, and he was helpless for a while, so he had to press it temporarily.
When Chi Ling came back, Lu Zheng still skewered the yellow mutton with a branch and began to roast it as usual. Chi Ling sat aside and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten your roasted meat, brother, but I'm about to die of hunger." ”
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and said, "Big brother, wait patiently for a while, you can eat it immediately!" When he said this, he also sighed in his heart, isn't it, the last time he barbecued, he was Lu Zhiyi! The firelight reflected on his face, and a few faces appeared in his mind, which were those people he knew as Lu Zhiyi. At first, it was Tian Chengji and other disciples of the Wind Sect, and then because he knew them, he went to the Wind Sect, met the crazy old madman Feng Wuji, and because Feng Wuji brought himself to Jishan Ruins, he met Sha Qifei!
Thinking of Sha Qifei, Lu Zheng's heart couldn't help shaking! (To be continued......)
