Chapter 548: Finally Understood
Xi Bai thought about it and felt that maybe he didn't know enough about Buddhism, or that he didn't have a "Buddha" nature in his heart, and he might be able to understand the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, but he couldn't understand them in his heart.
The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Xi Bai had been here for five years! He looks a lot more mature, and he should be in his thirties, but what makes him distressed is that he still has no clues about the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra", and he even doubts that he will not die here until he dies of old age, and he can't comprehend the "Yijin Sutra"!
Bodhidharma Mahayana Buddhism is spreading very well, and there are more and more believers, but Bodhidharma's disciples have always been only Xi Bai and the four of them, and unlike Xi Bai, the other three disciples of the Hui Zi generation are not only more and more profound, but also become a high monk, and even martial arts are getting stronger and stronger!
Especially Huikong, who was just a second-rate master at the beginning, is afraid that he has reached the master level now, and he is not far from the grandmaster, and because Xi Bai has not entered the realm at all in the past five years, he is still a congenital master.
The boredom in Xi Bai's heart can no longer be described in words, he doesn't know how many Buddhist scriptures he has read, but he has never gained anything in martial arts! Now he may still not have a high "Buddha" nature, but when it comes to the understanding of Buddhism, he is definitely a real monk!
Xi Bai looked at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but think, does Xi Bai really want to waste time here? Five years have passed, although it is said that this is the environment, but his feeling is real, he has not seen Li Fei'er for five years, for this sometimes cute, sometimes quirky, lively and arrogant woman, he misses it very much, he just wants to hold each other tightly in his arms now!
"That's it, it seems that I have no relationship with the 'Yi Jin Jing' after all, it's time to leave!" Xi Bai's face was a little gray, and he muttered to himself.
However, the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra" are related to his life and death, although he gave up here, he will still think of other ways to get this magic cheats!
"Hui Ke, what are you thinking?"
Just when Xi Bai was about to choose to go offline, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, he was startled, and when he turned his head to look, he found that at some point, Bodhidharma was standing not far behind him, looking at him calmly.
Xi Bai shook his head and said in a low tone, "It's nothing, Master." ”
Bodhidharma took two steps forward, stood side by side with Xi Bai, looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and said quietly: "You have worshiped me as a teacher for five years, have you learned anything?" ”
Xi Bai frowned, he never thought that Bodhidharma would suddenly ask him this question, and then he thought about it carefully, and suddenly became dazed, yes! He has been worshipping Patriarch Bodhidharma for five years, but what has he learned in the past five years? Dharma? Yes, he knows a lot about the Dharma, but really just about it, because it won't work for him at all! From the beginning to the end, he never thought about being a monk!
At this time, Xi Bai suddenly regretted a little, he was so stupid, there was a legendary character by his side, he had been with him for five years, and he actually learned nothing from the other party! This is simply unforgivable! But he thought about it again, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to learn from Patriarch Bodhidharma, but that he didn't find a way, and it was no wonder that he didn't want to learn from him.
Bodhidharma apprentice Bai fell into deep thought, and suddenly smiled: "Do you remember what I said to you when you first followed me?" ”
Xi Bai was stunned again, what did he say at the beginning? He really forgot a little, after all, five years have passed, Xi Bai did not speak, Bodhidharma reminded: "I once told you 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', Buddha is just a person's mind, as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, even if he doesn't understand the Buddhist scriptures, it is still a Buddha." ”
Xi Bai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, yes, when Bodhidharma asked him what he wanted to learn, he replied that he wanted to learn an internal skill, but he didn't know much about Buddhism, and then Bodhidharma said this to him, but he didn't think much about it at the time.
Bodhidharma suddenly looked at him and asked, "Now that you have understood the Dharma, let me ask you again, have you become a Buddha?" ”
Xi Bai was speechless, yes! Although I know the Buddhist scriptures, have I become a Buddha? No! There was never a Buddha in his heart!
Xi Bai's face was a little pale, was this why he couldn't comprehend martial arts from the Buddhist scriptures and couldn't comprehend the secrets of the Yijin Sutra? If you want to learn the "Yijin Sutra", do you really have to become a Buddha?
Bodhidharma didn't say much, took out a book with a yellow cover from his arms, handed it to Xi Bai's hand, and said: "This Buddhist scripture is for you, I hope you can understand what you want from it." ”
Xi Bai came back to his senses, gently stroked the Buddhist scripture in his hand, and found that the paper used in this Buddhist scripture was somewhat special, it seemed to be a little old, the paper was thicker, and it looked like it was made of some kind of animal fur.
He looked at the name of the Buddhist scriptures, and saw the word "Lenga" written on the cover, Xi Bai frowned, "Lenga Sutra"? He didn't seem to have heard much of it, but since it was given by Bodhidharma, it was not an ordinary Buddhist scripture.
Xi Bai didn't think much about it, turned the first page, but his face suddenly froze, only to see the paper twisted and twisted, and he didn't know the words of the Buddhist scriptures! What does this make him think! The previous Buddhist scriptures were all Chinese characters, how have they been changed now? He looked left and right, still didn't understand, and guessed in his heart, is this Sanskrit?
His face was dark, he didn't know much Sanskrit! What does this make him think? Do you still need to learn this Sanskrit? The muscles of the corners of Xibai's mouth twitched, and learning a new language was not something that happened overnight! But thinking of what Bodhidharma said just now, he couldn't help but think, is this "Lenga" related to the "Yijin Sutra"? If so, does he want to learn it?
Xi Bai was a little entangled, but then he thought that he couldn't comprehend martial arts from other Buddhist scriptures, so could he comprehend martial arts from this "Lenga"? Xi Bai was very skeptical about the feasibility of this matter.
Unable to make up his mind, Xi Bai could only put it down for the time being, and decided to take a look first, and then say, in the next few days, Xi Baizai watched this "Lenga" carefully, but he couldn't understand it at all, and what could he understand? He also asked a disciple who knew Sanskrit, but after translating, he still didn't understand why.
Xi Bai finally decided to give up and decided to leave, but the night before he was about to leave, he suddenly had a dream, he dreamed that he was sitting opposite Patriarch Bodhidharma on the Dharma, or that Patriarch Bodhidharma was talking and he was listening.
Patriarch Bodhidharma asked, "What is a Buddha?" ”
Xi Bai frowned and pondered, what is a Buddha? He seems to know, but he doesn't seem to understand, is the monk in the temple he has seen before a Buddha? It seems to be, but I remember that Patriarch Bodhidharma once said that as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, then it is a Buddha, and it seems that it is not just a monk who is a Buddha.
He couldn't help but ask himself, Buddha, is it a monk? Is a monk a Buddha? For a moment, he was a little messy.
Patriarch Bodhidharma did not interrupt his contemplation, and only after a long time did he say: "Pudu sentient beings are Buddhas, and good thoughts are also Buddhas, and if you think you are Buddhas, that is Buddha." ”
Xi Bai's body suddenly shook, and he suddenly understood! A Buddha is a Buddha, and a Buddha is not a monk! He doesn't want to be a monk, but that doesn't mean he can't become a Buddha!
Xi Bai thinks that he is not a bad person, and he also has good thoughts in his heart, he may not be able to purify sentient beings, but when he sees evil people and evil things, he will also draw a sword to help, and he can also become a Buddha!
Xi Bai woke up suddenly, only to find that he had just had a dream, but what Patriarch Bodhidharma said in the dream was so true, as if it was still echoing in his ears, and the comprehension in his heart still existed, and at this moment he suddenly felt that he had realized......
Xi Bai smiled slightly, glanced at the still dark sky outside the window, only to find that it was still night, thinking back to before, he was studying "Lengjia", and felt a little sleepy, so he fell asleep on the table. As soon as he thought of this, he looked down at the table and found that in his sleep, I don't know if he was careless, the Buddhist scriptures were actually reversed.
He shook his head and smiled, he didn't expect that he still had to read the book upside down, just when he was about to turn the Buddhist scriptures over, his eyes swept over the Buddhist scriptures, but he was stunned, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the Sanskrit on the Buddhist scriptures was somewhat familiar, he couldn't tell what it was like, he still didn't understand the Sanskrit on the Buddhist scriptures, but it looked like it had become something he was familiar with, something he could understand.
Xi Bai stopped the movements in his hand, just read the book upside down, and gradually, he found that those Sanskrit words that he didn't understand suddenly became villains, these villains were a little strange, they were all doing different actions, some actions were very funny, some actions were like martial arts, and some words were not villains, it seemed to be just an arm, or a leg, and a few words were connected, and they felt like meridians.
For a while, what Xi Bai saw was different, this "Lenga" was no longer an incomprehensible Buddhist scripture, but a martial arts cheatbook, or a mixture of many martial arts cheats! And if you want to learn martial arts from it, you can only understand it from it.
Xi Bai was overjoyed, he had finally found a way to comprehend martial arts from the Buddhist scriptures! Although this method seems strange and unorthodox, he believes that he is doing the right thing! Even if it's reading the scriptures upside down!
Xi Bai took a deep breath, his mood calmed down a lot, the most important thing now is to comprehend the "Yijin Sutra" from this Buddhist scripture, after all, what he needs is the "Yijin Sutra" cheats, in addition to the "Yijin Sutra", he has comprehended other martial arts, even if it is a top-grade martial arts, it is useless!
Xi Bai no longer pays attention to the words that are similar to martial arts moves, but looks at those "meridians", gradually, after many meridians are connected, a familiar feeling swells into his heart, and finally, a complete meridian roadmap finally appeared in his mind, Xi Bai was immediately overjoyed, this meridian he was very familiar with, it was one of the upper parts of the "Yijin Sutra" that he knew!
