Chapter 544: Repair the Temple
On the Liangcheng Square, the Bodhidharma Patriarch sat in front of him, and there were hundreds of people sitting on the ground opposite, Xi Bai was also sitting in the crowd, different from other people's curiosity, Xi Bai was thinking at this time, but how to get the "Yijin Sutra" secret book from the hands of Bodhidharma, from the current situation, he did not have a little thought.
At this time, Patriarch Bodhidharma finally spoke, "A watch sits upright, and the silence shines on the same void." The origin of the catastrophe is not born and destroyed, so why should it be born and destroyed......"
didn't say any nonsense, Bodhidharma Patriarch opened his mouth is the mysterious and mysterious Dharma verses, Xi Bai's head suddenly swelled, only feeling that he has a head and two big, about what Dharma, he doesn't know anything, at most he knows a "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", and it is not complete! As for what Patriarch Bodhidharma is talking about now, he doesn't understand it at all.
Not only him, but these people who sit and listen to the sermon also don't know anything, they just feel like they are listening to a book from heaven, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and they look confused!
Xi Bai smiled bitterly in his heart, he seemed to have found the state he was in when he listened to the teacher's lectures when he was in school again-he just wanted to sleep! But in order to be able to obtain the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra", sleep naturally does not exist! Sure enough, there is motivation only when there is a goal, although Xi Bai doesn't understand, he still listens to the class like a good student.
Bodhidharma Patriarch's gentle voice continued to sound, talking about his Mahayana Buddhism, but there was a bit of a high and low taste, his understanding of Buddhism had reached a very high depth, plus the people sitting there were not Buddhist disciples, let alone what Buddhism was.
"What do you think differently? Come up and talk to me. Finally, Patriarch Bodhidharma finished speaking, looked at the people in front of him and said.
His eyes swept over, and everyone who looked at him lowered their heads one after another, and had no intention of discussing the Tao at all, Bodhidharma waited for a while, and saw that no one stepped forward, and he didn't care, he cleared his throat and interrupted to continue explaining the Dharma.
"Master, I don't know when the method of crossing the river that you used before will be able to be taught to us?" Finally, some people can't help it, the purpose of their coming here is to get the martial art of "crossing the river with a reed", and they are not really here to listen to the Dharma, listen to the book of heaven, it is really a thing that makes people not interested.
Bodhidharma said indifferently: "I have already said that as long as you understand the Dharma, you can naturally realize it on your own, and you can continue to listen to it." ”
The man opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything more, Bodhidharma nodded, continued to explain the Dharma, and after another half an hour, finally someone couldn't help but get up and leave, he saw that Bodhidharma didn't seem to have the intention of teaching martial arts, and he didn't know how long it would take to be here, so he finally chose to leave.
And with the first person, soon there was a second person, and for a time, nearly half of the people chose to leave, and Bodhidharma did not say anything to these people who left, and continued his preaching.
Soon, the sun was setting in the west, and it was about to get dark, and there were about 100 people present, Bodhidharma stood up and said, "This is the end of today's lecture, I will stay in Liangcheng during this time, if you want, you can come here at any time to listen to the lecture." ”
After Bodhidharma finished speaking, he got up and left, and the listeners all left, but how many people will come tomorrow, it is uncertain.
Xi Bai muttered to himself, on this day, he finally realized what it means to live like a year! For the first time, he felt that time was getting so long! At first, he thought it was like a teacher giving a lecture in school, but later he realized that the teacher's lecture was much more interesting than this!
At least he could understand it then, but now he doesn't understand it at all! It's not about whether you use your heart or not, Xi Bai has been listening carefully to Patriarch Bodhidharma's sermons in order not to be bored, but Buddhism, Xi Bai didn't have a foundation before, philosophy and this kind of thing, you can't understand it if you listen carefully, you can say that you understand it, you don't understand it, you don't understand it!
Xi Bai only felt that what Patriarch Bodhidharma said was mysterious and mysterious, he seemed to understand, seemed to understand some truths, but after thinking about it carefully, he actually didn't understand anything! This day, for him, is simply torment!
At this time, Patriarch Bodhidharma was leaving, Xi Bai hurriedly followed, no matter what, he was going to get the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra" as soon as he heard it, so he must now follow the Patriarch Bodhidharma and try every means to get clues about the secrets of the "Yijin Sutra" from the other party.
Patriarch Bodhidharma glanced at Xi Bai who was following him, but he just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, and Xi Bai didn't speak, just followed.
The two of them went one after the other, and soon went out of Liangcheng, Xi Bai didn't know where Bodhidharma was going, so he could only follow, and soon, the two came to the foot of a mountain peak, Xi Bai looked up, before the mountain peak was lush and green, at this time the sky was dark, and thousands of birds returned to the forest, but it seemed more vibrant.
Bodhidharma Patriarch continued to move forward, the two turned a corner, Xi Bai suddenly saw a mountain temple in front of him, said to be a mountain temple, but in fact it was just an earthen temple, the walls were mostly down, and there was not a single statue of a god inside, which had obviously been abandoned for a long time.
But Patriarch Bodhidharma nodded with satisfaction, and stepped into the broken temple, Xi Bai glanced at it, surrounded by green trees, it is indeed a good environment, but it is just ...... It's a little too broken.
However, Xi Bai didn't think much about it, since he chose to follow Patriarch Bodhidharma, how could he give up halfway now, so he also entered the temple, Patriarch Bodhidharma randomly found a sheltered corner, picked up some dry grass, and sat on the ground.
Xi Bai thought for a while, took out some dry food from his arms, and said to Patriarch Bodhidharma: "Master, here are some dry food, please." ”
"Thank you, donor." Patriarch Bodhidharma thanked him, and then he was unceremonious, and after eating seriously, he began to meditate.
Xi Bai was a little speechless, if he hadn't given it to the other party, would the other party have been hungry? Or does the other party know that they will definitely give? How could he be so sure! Xi Bai shook his head secretly, ate some himself, and began to meditate and practice.
The night passed quietly, when the sky was white, Xi Bai woke up from his cultivation, at this time he was a little hesitant, seeing that it was about to go offline, he didn't know, after he went offline, when he went online again, where would he appear, was it in Yeba Temple, or here?
If he appears here, it's easy to say, but if he appears in Yeba Temple, it's over, he hasn't gotten the secret book of the Yijin Sutra yet! If he leaves, God knows if he'll be able to come in again! But Xi Bai felt that it was more likely that he would not be able to come in again.
Just when Xi Bai was entangled, the sun on the horizon finally showed a smiling face, Xi Bai was suddenly startled, he found that it was past the time to go offline, but he didn't go offline! And I didn't hear the prompt of the system, and I was not forced offline by the system! What's going on?
Xi Bai didn't understand a little, he doubted again that this would not be a dream, it was a dream made in the game, but he couldn't confirm it, now he really wanted to go offline but confirmed it, but he was afraid that he would leave here after going online, so he could only throw this idea away.
In the end, Xi Bai could only sigh, in line with the idea that what came was safe, now he could only take one step at a time, fortunately, Xi Bai had experienced a lot of bizarre things, and he already had a certain immunity in his heart, but he didn't have to go offline, it was not a big deal! After all, people can die in the game, what else is impossible!
At this moment, Patriarch Bodhidharma opened his eyes, he suddenly looked at Xi Bai, and said: "This donor, those people wanted to learn the method of Jiang before, but I look at you, it seems that I don't yearn for that martial art, what do you want to learn?" ”
Xi Bai didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask like this, his mind turned, logically speaking, he seemed to say that I followed the master, just admired the master's Buddhism, and hoped to follow and learn something like that, but thinking that the other party was the Bodhidharma Patriarch, a legendary figure, would such a lie really be useful to the other party? Will it backfire?
From the other party's words just now, Xi Bai knew that Patriarch Bodhidharma was very clear about the thoughts of those people yesterday, it can be seen that Patriarch Bodhidharma was very wise, Xi Bai smiled secretly, he was also stupid, Patriarch Bodhidharma was not only wise, it was a genius who was not born in the world at all!
Thinking of this, Xi Bai took a deep breath and said calmly: "Master, I really don't want to learn the method of crossing the river, as for Buddhism, although I feel mysterious, I may not have enough understanding, I'm afraid I can't learn it well, what I want to learn is an internal skill of the master." In the end, Xi Bai chose to tell the truth and play false, he felt that he was the one who hurt himself in the end!
Bodhidharma Patriarch seemed to have expected it, but he just nodded, and did not respond to Xi Bai's words, which made Xi Bai a little confused, and after a while, Bodhidharma Patriarch said: "Buddhism, never pay attention to understanding, the so-called 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha', Buddha, is just a person's mind, if you want to become a Buddha, even if you don't get the Dharma at all, it is also a Buddha." ”
Xi Bai didn't expect Patriarch Bodhidharma to say this, but after thinking about it, he felt that what the other party said made some sense, but did he really want to become a Buddha? Xi Bai didn't know, he pondered for a moment, and still arched his hand: "Thank you for the master's guidance, I understand." ”
Patriarch Bodhidharma continued: "As for what you want to learn from me, I still say that what you want to learn, as long as you understand the relevant Dharma, you will naturally be able to comprehend it on your own. ”
Xi Bai frowned, he didn't understand what he said, this is still to learn to study Buddhism? This seems to have nothing to do with learning the "Yijin Sutra"! But think about it again, the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple all have corresponding Buddhism to complement each other, do you really need to learn Buddhism?
Patriarch Bodhidharma smiled slightly and said, "As for now, should we renovate this place?" ”
