Extra Part 2: Ant Supreme [Medium]
The so-called experience is a process of searching.
In the past, the little ant was as simple as a blank piece of paper, in order to find the meaning of existence, ignorant and fearless, and not afraid of anything.
And after going through a lot of ups and downs, the little ant already knows how to think, and if he wants to practice, he first needs to "apprentice".
And if you want to "apprentice", you must first find a teacher who is willing to preach and teach for you.
So the little ant began to find a teacher.
It's just that it never thought that who would accept an ant as an apprentice among the masters in this world?
――
Find a teacher.
Sleeping in the open air, wearing the stars and the moon, in the vast and ancient years, a little ant persistently moves forward and never retreats.
On this day, the little ant climbed through a rocky field covered with wind and snow with difficulty, and was almost swept away by the wind and snow several times.
Eventually, when it lay under the stems and leaves of a purple hyacinth, it could no longer hold back its sleepiness and fell asleep.
The little ant had a dream.
In the dream, it heard a voice calling out to it all the time - "How can you fall down before you reach the distance, get up quickly! You can't sleep anymore, or you will never be as brilliant as a shooting star......
Meteor?
In the confusion, the little ant did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly woke up from its slumber, it glanced around, took a deep breath, and once again took a difficult and tired step, crawling forward little by little.
Behind, a purple hyacinth swayed in the wind and snow, it quietly watched the little ant leave step by step, and let out a muttering like a blessing: "Humble one, move forward persistently, even if you die, you have to die in the pursuit, this is already a miracle." ”
......
Mount Taihua.
The mountain is 90,000 feet high, majestic and majestic.
On the top of Taihua Mountain, there is a green peach tree standing, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon all the year round, eating the air of clouds and clouds, going through the four catastrophes of wind, fire, thunder and Ze without dying, and finally enlightened once, feathered into a fairy spirit, named "Qingxiaozi".
Qing Xiaozi succeeded in preaching, emulated the sages of the heavens, opened up the Taoist altar with his own strength, and taught the creatures within a radius of thousands of miles of Taihua Mountain.
After thousands of years of hard work, the name of Qingxiaozi has spread all over the surrounding areas of Taihua Mountain, and has been respected as a guru by many living beings.
On this day, the sunset is steaming, and the sea of clouds is magnificent.
Qing Xiaozi was dressed in a blue robe, sitting on the top of the altar, his eyes swept over the beings who were sitting cross-legged around the altar, and began to teach Taoism.
"The so-called Tao can be obtained by all living beings, but if there is a lack of the Dao, there is no Tao root, no wisdom, and no spirituality, and those who have no Tao will not be able to realize the wonderful meaning of the Tao. ”
Qing Xiaozi's voice rang out all over the dojo, "It's like this summer insect, born in the hot summer, died in the hot summer, I don't know what ice and snow are in this life, the so-called summer insect can't speak of ice, and the same is true of this cultivation and enlightenment, and those who have no Taoist roots, wisdom, and spirituality are just like this summer insect." ”
Hearing this, many creatures were thoughtful, but only a small ant shook its tentacles, which was very puzzled.
What a character Qing Xiaozi is, let alone a small ant, he can see it clearly at a glance.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, pinched the little ant between his fingers, and said to all living beings: "You see, this ant is the most humble and insignificant person in the world, and now it has come to listen to this seat to preach and teach, although this heart is worthy of praise, but unfortunately, it has no Tao roots, no wisdom, and even spirituality is dull and mediocre, just like the insect of that summer, this life is destined to have no chance with the Great Dao." ”
As he spoke, with a flick of his fingertips, the little ant flew out and was thrown far away in the clouds, swept away by a gust of wind.
At this moment, the little ant felt indescribable anger, confusion and disappointment in his heart.
It originally thought that Qingxiaozi on this Taihua Mountain was a master of Taoism, so he worked hard and trekked for many days and nights before finally reaching the top of this Taihua Mountain.
Who would have thought that it didn't find a preaching teacher, but it was ruthlessly humiliated by Qing Xiaozi in front of all living beings, and didn't even give it a chance to refute, so it flew out of the dojo with one finger and expelled from this Taihua Mountain!
Perhaps, Qing Xiaozi didn't think there was anything wrong with hurting an ant, or perhaps, he never took an ant to heart from beginning to end.
But his behavior and words are undoubtedly a ruthless trampling and blow to the little ant!
The mountain wind whistled and whined.
I could vaguely hear a burst of laughter coming from the altar in the distance.
They...... Are they all laughing at themselves for not being able to do their best?
The little ant shivered all over his body, and felt an incomparable loneliness and anger from the inside out.
It gritted its teeth and said to itself, "One day, you must tell those who have ignored and humiliated you who is the poor summer worm!"
......
Leaving Taihua Mountain, the little ant moved forward again.
From the moment it left the ant nest, it was subjected to a lot of doubts and ridicule along the way, although Qing Xiaozi's words and actions were hateful, but they would not discourage the little ant, but it wanted to become a more brilliant existence than a meteor, how could it be defeated by this injury?
......
"Little ants, dare to vainly seek the path of cultivation, if it weren't for the fact that your journey was not easy, I would definitely wipe you out in an instant, leave quickly, and don't blaspheme my Dao system!"
"Go ahead, although it is said that all living beings are Turling, but your qualifications are too mediocre and dull for cultivation and are not suitable for cultivation. ”
"Hahaha, little ant, also learned to practice and asked, it's really ridiculous. ”
"Hmph! If you are accepted as an apprentice, it will provoke the ridicule of the world's peers, you should go quickly, this way has nothing to do with you. ”
What the little ant never expected was that in the years after leaving Taihua Mountain, he sought the Tao again and again, but every time he was ruthlessly rejected, suffered countless white eyes and sneers, and did not know how many times he was disappointed and painful.
One blow may not be enough to make the little ant despair, but when there are too many times, even the little ant himself begins to doubt himself.
Don't...... I really can't practice on my own?
Why is that?
These doubts are like sharp blades, mercilessly stinging and torturing the little ant, making it almost want to burn its mind.
This world is so big, is there no way to find your own way?
Confused, helpless, disappointed, and painful, the little ant is like a soul lost, walking in the vast world in a daze.
There is no comfort, no encouragement, and no one will pay attention to the pain and confusion in the heart of an ant.
This is the situation of the lowly, just an ant, who cares about its joy and anger?
It wasn't until later that the little ant even began to give up on itself, unable to find its goal, and couldn't see the moment when it became a brilliant meteor, and it suddenly wanted to die like this, at least it didn't have to bear the pain and unwillingness in its heart.
There is no greater mourning than death.
It was at that time that the little ant, which was on the verge of collapse, met a person.
......
On that day, it was raining heavily and thunderclouds were thick.
The little ant was soaked in the icy rainstorm and drifted uncontrollably on the ground, and the exhaustion and pain all over his body exploded like a unison at that moment, making the little ant smell death for the first time.
It even knew that it was destined to die this time, but it was unwilling to struggle, and its heart was silent, waiting quietly.
At that moment, a cold and endless voice sounded in the thunderstorm: "What bullshit saints and sages, even if you transcend the five elements and have supreme means to reach the heavens, as long as you ignore the nature and spirit of all beings, trample on the fairness of order, reverse black and white, and do not distinguish between good and evil, you will have to bear the judgment of reincarnation!"
That voice, so resolute, so sonorous, like the chant of the Nine Heavens Dragon, stirred the heavens and the earth.
The little ant's originally dead heart felt a tremor inexplicably, and it couldn't help but open its eyes and saw a shocking picture that it would never forget.
An incomparably majestic figure, standing above the void, seems to support the backbone of the heavenly dome, with an indescribable posture of contempt, as if as long as he is willing, heaven and earth cannot stop his footsteps, and the avenue can only bow down!
And on the other side of this majestic figure, there are gods in the sky!
The golden glow is like rain, the sound of the Tao is roaring, and the gods in the sky seem to have walked out of the legend one by one, not like the world can have it, each of them is so majestic, and so terrifying.
Compared with them, the little ant suddenly found that many of the cultivators he had seen before were so unbearable and so bleak.
Characters like Qingxiaozi can't even gain a foothold in such a situation!
In the days that followed, the little ant finally knew that the great man who appeared that day turned out to be the third Netherworld Emperor who was in charge of the power of reincarnation.
The Heavenly Gods who appeared that day were the culprits in suppressing the third person, the Netherworld Emperor!
When that shocking duel broke out, the little ant could no longer see anything, nor could he hear any sound, and the incomparably terrifying power descended, making it suspect that it was going to die in the impact of this shocking duel.
But it wasn't until the end of this shocking duel that lasted for seven days and seven nights that the little ant found out that he was not dead.
"I didn't expect that before I died, there was an ant to see me off, little guy, live well, if there is an opportunity for reincarnation in the future, I should have a drink with you, and get drunk. ”
A voice full of freedom sounded in his heart, the little ant was stunned, looked up, but only saw a blood-colored world like ruins.
Although this sentence is not a strong wine, it is stronger than a strong wine, burning the blood of the little ants, and there is an indescribable surging and high-spirited meaning in my heart.
For the first time in his life, the little ant was invited to a drink by a legendary-like man......! The little ant remembered it, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Live well!
Not only to live well, but also to live more brilliantly than a shooting star!
The little ant stood in the ruins of the world, looking at the blood that stained the void, and his heart was unprecedentedly firm.
......
However, passion can never solve reality.
The little ant who returned to reality once again embarked on a slim and uncertain road forward, walking alone in the ups and downs.
Cold-eyed, ridiculed, struck, humiliated, trampled...... For the small and humble little ants, the road of seeking and asking is always full of bumps and twists and turns.
But it will no longer be beaten down, and its heart has never been more firm and strong.
The stars are moving, and day and night are alternating.
I don't know how long it took, but the little ant suddenly found that his body had become old, and every time he took a step, it was not as light and firm as before, but became staggering and heavy.
Old?
There is an indescribable complexity in the little ant's heart, it has not lost to itself, but it seems to be defeated in the face of time......
It didn't feel too sad, it was silent and moved on.
Even if you are old, even if the life force gradually passes, you will die on the road of searching!
As for whether it can become more brilliant than a meteor, the little ant has already seen it very calmly, the road is there, he has been seeking, and he has never retreated, which is enough.
In the evening of this day, the little ant, which was already very old, finally couldn't hold on anymore, stopped and rested in front of a verdant little tree.
It looked at the road in the distance, there was no confusion and loss, no regret and helplessness, only peace.
When it was young, it knew nothing, like a blank piece of paper, and left the ant nest fearlessly, unwilling to live in mediocrity, unwilling to die quietly suddenly.
Then, it has been on the road, overcoming thorns and thorns, going through wind and rain, accustomed to the changes of the wind and clouds, accustomed to the impermanence of the world, and has also tasted a lot of cold eyes and ridicule.
It marched silently through the blows, lonely, but not hesitant.
It knew what it wanted, and it was pleased with everything it saw along the way, something that other ants couldn't understand.
For example, spiritual practice.
Even though the little ant has never practiced yet, it knows the existence of cultivation and has been relentlessly searching!
"I am now accustomed to the changes in the world, the impermanence of heaven and earth, although I have saved one side on the path of cultivation, but I have no regrets. ”
The little ant muttered softly, and even his voice became old, with an extra taste that could only be precipitated by going through hardships.
Read all the world's affairs, live up to the avenue and live up to yourself!
"Little ant, are you also searching for the avenue like me?"
Suddenly, a small verdant tree on one side made a sound, revealing a smell of joy, as if it had found a fellow believer.
"Hmm. ”
The little ant looked at the verdant tree beside him, listening to the longing and desire for cultivation revealed in its voice, and in a trance, the little ant seemed to see himself back then, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, it's just that I will grow old soon, and it will be difficult to move forward, Xiaoshu, you have to work hard, the years are ruthless, don't be like me, lose in front of time." ”
The verdant little tree said curiously: "Little ant, you seem to have experienced a lot of things, can you tell me about it?"
The little ant smiled: "Of course you can." ”
So, with a state of mind of reminiscence, the little ant told all his experiences since he left the nest.
It didn't add any oil and vinegar, but the verdant little tree listened to it and couldn't help itself for a long time, how could it have imagined that an ant's path to seeking the Tao would be so bumpy and rugged?
It wasn't until the sunset and the earth dyed a fiery orange that the little ant finished telling his story.
The verdant little tree was silent for a long time before he said, "Little ant, even thousands of tribulations can't defeat you, and I believe that you can definitely defeat time." ”
After a pause, it continued: "What's more, although you have suffered a lot along the way, you have also seen a lot of scenery, which is impossible for other ants to see. ”
The little ant smiled proudly: "This is natural, I have never regretted running away from home, and I have never hated the pain and suffering I have endured along the way." ”
The verdant little tree suddenly asked, "Little ant, do you have a name?"
The little ant was stunned for a long time before shaking his head: "No." ”
The verdant tree stretched out a verdant branch and leaf, gently stroked the little ant, and said: "The walker has no borders, you have never taken a step back all the way, why don't you call it a walker?"
Walker?
The little ant seemed to be touched, and nodded after a long time: "It's okay, I like this name, by the way, do you have a name?"
The verdant tree said, "You can call me Cangwu." ”
Cangwu?
The little ant smiled: "Good name!"
The verdant little tree smiled too.
The little ant didn't notice it, and under the caress of the verdant branches and leaves of the little tree, wisps of clear and radiant divine light quietly poured into its body, making its originally old and almost oil-dried body glow with vitality.
"Walker, since you can't find the way, why don't you take the initiative to open up a path yourself?"
The verdant little tree asked.
"How easy is this to open up, I don't even know how to cultivate. ”
The little ant shook his head.
The verdant tree said, "I don't understand either, but I know where my path is, maybe you can learn from me too." ”
The little ant said movingly, "You have already seen your own path?"
The verdant little tree said: "Yes, my path is hidden in my body, you see that my stems and branches and leaves are all imprinted with the traces of the Great Dao of the Heavens, when I comprehend and control them all, I can truly immortalize and last forever." ”
The little ant was shocked in his heart, and carefully looked at the branches and leaves of the verdant little tree, and sure enough, he found a lot of mysterious textures.
Those textures seem ordinary, but when you look closely, they are full of an indescribable charm and mysteriousness.
In a trance, the little ant seemed to see the traces of the "Tao", perceived the Zen rhyme of the Tao, and suddenly became obsessed there.
It forgets the day, the earth, and itself, and even the passage of time, and does not know hunger, cold, or hardship.
Cold comes and summer, spring goes and autumn comes.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the little ant is like a sculpture, motionless, covered with a thick layer of ash.
The little ant didn't realize that hundreds of years had passed, and he hadn't died.
It didn't notice that the verdant trees around it had grown strongly, becoming quite beautiful and verdant, with branches and leaves as clear as thick green jade, overflowing with mysterious rhyme.
Rumble!
On this day, a violent shock suddenly sounded, which completely woke up the little ant.
