Chapter 23: Preaching
Chapter 23: Sermons
The three demons are just clowns jumping off the beam, Yun Canghai and Jianzhen didn't take them to heart, and capturing them was just a gesture. Then, after questioning, Yun Canghai knew that they were evil and evil, although the three demons begged to spare their lives and expressed their willingness to submit, but since Yun Canghai knew their bad deeds, he naturally would not accept them, and finally wiped out their consciousness, and Yun Canghai trained their Yuan Shen into Shishen and used it to reward his subordinates in Japan in the future. And the flesh of the three demons has been picked out of useful places and used as refining tools and alchemy, which can be said to be "making the best use of things", which can be regarded as the three demons deserve it.
Of course, before wiping out the consciousness of the three demons, Yun Canghai had already used soul searching ** to find out where their cave was located, and swept away its cave mansion, plus the magic weapon seized from the three demons before and the mat made of 10,000-year-old seaweed, it was finally rewarded. Akashi Youde was pleasantly surprised this time, and was surprised that this journey was not as calm as he imagined, but instead appeared a demon sea monster attack; the good thing is that Master Yun Canghai is really a master, and in a moment he subdued these demons who looked fierce and vicious, and he was taught by him, doesn't that mean that he can be as powerful as him in the future? No, Akashi Youde does not dare to think that he is as powerful as Master Yun, as long as he can have his skills, he will be satisfied.
He was also an ambitious and capable man, otherwise he would not have been sent to be the leader of the Tang envoys. Especially after learning the art of yin and yang, my ambition swelled day by day, and I wanted to go back to Japan and make a career. However, he also knew that he alone was difficult to sing, and he needed someone to assist, Yun Canghai and Jianzhen naturally did not dare to recruit, because he did not have this strength, but he paid attention to the people who came to Datang with him, these people have worked with him for many years and are familiar with each other, and he is also quite prestigious among this group of people.
I thought of it, and as a result, the days passed day by day in the days when Yuncang Sea went out from time to time to hunt for treasures and relax, Jianzhen meditated and practiced in the boat, and Akashi was virtuous to win people's hearts everywhere.
On this day, while Yun Canghai was still looking at the sea on the deck, he had the courage to come to its side and asked cautiously: "Master Yun, I have a request, I wonder if you can grant it?" "Huh?" Yun Canghai turned his head and looked directly at Akashi Youde, his eyes seemed to see through his soul. Akashi Youde's whole body was in a cold sweat "Huh!", and he didn't dare to face Yun Canghai's eyes tremblingly, but the sharp glance just now was deeply engraved in his mind, what kind of eyes were they:
The black and white eyes seemed to turn into a rough and boundless sea in an instant, and the blue sea regained its calm after the storm, and suddenly transformed into a clear blue sky, blue as a wash, and the clouds were rolling. A day later, when night fell, the sky gradually changed into a vast starry sky, and the stars slid in a mysterious trajectory, deducing something that no one could describe in words, and only had the urge to cry (until he cultivated to a high level, Akashi was virtuous and knew that this was the "Tao"). Suddenly, the sky was turned upside down, the stars fell, the whole world roared and collapsed, and a gray fog enveloped the whole world, and when the fog dissipated, all that was left was emptiness, blankness, and helplessness.
At most, it was only for a moment, but Akashi Yutoku felt as if thousands of years had passed, as if he had gone through the cycle of several lifetimes, and he couldn't say anything. At this time, Yun Canghai's leisurely words came from his ears: "I already know your intention, you go back and prepare, except for those companions of yours, take the rest of the ship with you." Akashi Youde was overjoyed, kowtowed to Yuncanghai a few times, and hurriedly went to inform the others.
It turned out that Akashi Youde wanted to ask Yun Canghai to allow him to pass on the Yin-Yang Technique to his subordinates, and finally be able to teach them in person, after all, this Yin-Yang Technique was passed down by Yun Canghai, without its will, Akashi Youde did not dare to call the shots, and he knew that the level of Yun Canghai was 108,000 miles away, if Yun Canghai could teach them personally, even if it was only to teach a little skill, it would be enough for them to be inexhaustible for life, so that they would naturally be grateful to Akashi Youde who promoted this qiē, and they would become his force in the future and be loyal to him。
Yun Canghai knew this qiē from Akashi Youde's mind with his mind with mind reading, and he couldn't help but secretly praise that this Japanese also has a bit of brains, but he is still too narrow-minded and only thinks about his own interests. Yun Canghai was not a stingy person in the first place, otherwise he would not have passed on the Yin-Yang technique to Akashi Youde lightly, and this was originally a third-rate cultivation method, even if it was learned by others, it would not be heartbroken. What he thought of was that he could take this opportunity to give a phased sermon to these dozens of people.
Cultivation is not just a matter of closed asceticism, it is just laying the foundation. In order to find out their own flaws and deficiencies, perfect the Dao Method, and improve their realm, cultivators throughout the ages have found various methods, some go to the red dust to experience and hone their state of mind, some to challenge cultivators from all walks of life to improve their strength, and some are reincarnated and reincarnated to repair the irreparable defects they committed in their early years in the next life, and so on, and preaching is a very good method.
You must know that preaching is not only to tell others what you have comprehended the Tao, but also to sort out your own understanding of the "Tao" in the process, and to tell others some unsolved, confused, and half-understood problems in the past with your own understanding, and then to make answers, which can be said to be a process of perfecting yourself.
In this process, not only others, but also oneself will benefit, which is why there has always been no shortage of masters throughout the ages who like to preach everywhere, and even Jianzhen, as long as he is not in retreat or too busy, will travel around every year to explain the Dharma to sentient beings, not only to expand his influence. Purifying sentient beings is also a kind of practice.
And Yun Canghai does not have this opportunity, one, because: his true identity is a dragon! This can't be easily let others know, otherwise if you want to "subdue demons and eliminate demons", by the way, there are definitely a lot of people who will pick up his tendons and skin, and take the inner pill to collect the original god, you know, the dragon's body is a treasure! Therefore, before he has absolute strength, he will never be too ostentatious, although his strength is already very strong, but there is no need to ask for trouble, right?
Second, it is because: his identity on the surface is just a relative of Jianzhen, he does not have the same high prestige as Jianzhen, and even if he wants to preach, not many people will pay attention to him, so in Middle-earth Shenzhou, he is too lazy to do such a thankless task as preaching. You know, the more people who listen to the sermon, the greater the benefit, don't you see, in ancient times, those immortals and saints, the Buddha and the great sage, a sermon will gather thousands of people to listen?
However, this time he was going overseas, and the only one around him who knew his details would not be disadvantageous to him, and Akashi Yude happened to have this meaning, so Yun Canghai's mind moved. He was also preparing to do a big job overseas, preaching is the best way to expand his influence, so he also had the intention to practice during this time, so as not to make a fool of himself when he really wanted to preach to thousands of people, so he agreed to Akashi Yutoku.
However, Akashi Youde is still too narrow-minded, and only considers him and his subordinates, but Yun Canghai thinks that anyway, it is a sermon, so everyone will come to listen, and he also has the heart to solve some of his own problems from this sermon, so even Jianzhen was pulled by him to listen.
By the time Akashi had all the dignitaries ready, it was already the next day, and there were a group of people sitting on the deck, including members of the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and the monks of the Dayun Temple who came with Jianzhen and Yuncanghai, and even the sailors who drove the boat, the cooks who cooked, the servants who cleaned and waited on the people had all arrived, men and women, old and young, and all the people on several boats together had more than 200 people. Now these people are under the management of the leaders Jianzhen and Akashi Youde, and none of them dare to make a loud noise, and those monks who know about it and Akashi Youde's subordinates are still there, but those subordinates don't know why, they just whisper below.
In front of the crowd there was a wooden bed, simple, half-new, with an orange-yellow futon on it, which looked very simple. Suddenly, a ball of green gas fell from the sky, fell straight on the wooden bed, the green gas dissipated, revealing the figure of Yun Canghai, at this time Yun Canghai and his usual dress is not the same, wearing a cyan robe, wearing a crown of green sun, holding a three-foot dust, his face is peaceful, sitting on the futon, he glanced at everyone, except for Jianzhen, no one dared to look at him, he held the dust, nodded his head to Jianzhen, sang the trumpet, and spoke.
"Dao, Kedao, very Dao. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, so there is no desire, to see its wonder, and there is always desire, to see its origin. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. Dao Chong, and use it or not profit also. The abyss is like the sect of all things, frustrating its sharpness, resolving its disputes, and its light, with its dust, and the clear and existing. I don't know whose son he is, like the first emperor. The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently"
"The five colors make people blind, the five tones make people deaf, the five flavors make people feel refreshed, the galloping hunt makes people crazy, and the rare goods make people do not do it." It is the rule of the saints, not the stomach, so go to the other to take this. The goodness of the ancients is the Taoist, subtle and mysterious, and unrecognizable. The husband is only unrecognizable, so he is strong and tolerant: Yu Xi is like a winter in the river, if he is afraid of his neighbors, if he is a guest, if he is a guest, if he is sloppy, if he is simple, if he is in the valley, if he is turbid, who can stop turbidity, who can be turbid, who can be quiet and clear, who can be in peace for a long time, and Xu Sheng, who is moving, who does not want to make a profit. The husband is not profitable, but it is to be able to hide and regenerate"
"To the extreme, keep quiet. All things work together, and I watch them return. There are many things and things, and each one returns to its roots. In the final analysis, it is said to be quiet, and quiet is said to return to life. Returning to life is said to be normal, and knowing is often said to be clear. I don't know how to be delusional, and I act in vain. Knowing the usual appearance, tolerance is the public. The public is complete, the whole is the sky, the sky is the way, the way is long, and there is no body and no death"
"The face of Confucius, only the way is to follow. The Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance. In a trance, there is an image, and in a trance, there is an object. There is essence in it, and its essence is very true, and there is faith in it. From now upon and from ancient times, its name has not been left to read the public. How do I know the state of the people? There are things that are mixed together, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, so the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the king is big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. The king is the law of the earth, the law is every day, the law is the way, and the law is natural. ”
"The avenue is sloppy, and it can be left and right. All things are born to be born, and success is famous. The clothes are covered by all things, and the Buddha is the main thing, and there is no desire, which can be called small. All things return, and the Lord is known, and the name is great. It is the ability of a saint to become great, and it is not a great thing, so it can become great. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. ”
"The way of heaven is like a bow, the higher one suppresses it, the lower one lifts it, the surplus loses it, and the insufficient one makes up for it. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by losing more than it loses, but the way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can harm the rest to serve the world? It is a saint who is a saint, and a successful person who lives in it, if so, he does not want to see the virtuous. Faith is not beautiful, good words are not believed. The good do not argue, and the debater is not good. Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know. The saint has no accumulation, and since he thinks of others, he has more, and since he has others, he has more. Therefore, the way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful, and the way of man is to fight for it. ”
As soon as Yun Canghai opened his mouth, he did not explain any Taoism, but selected a few passages from the "Tao Te Ching" and talked about it again, and every time he spoke about it, he would pause for a while, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. And in this process, the aura of heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles seems to have been attracted by something, and they have gathered to the big ship where the sea is located, and formed a five-colored cloud above his head, as he preached deeply, the aura became stronger and stronger, and later, every time he said a word, a golden ceiling would fall from the five-colored clouds, and this golden ceiling was condensed by the extremely strong aura of heaven and earth, and if it fell on anyone, it would add a year of cultivation for him out of thin air.
Those who heard it all fell into a peculiar state when Yun Canghai said the first sentence, and their hearts had nothing else, only Yun Canghai, who preached on the futon, and the moral mantra he preached, even turned a blind eye to the golden ceiling that fell from the sky later, and everyone's reaction was different, some listened with a smile on their faces, fluttering like a fairy, some were excited with tears in their eyes, trembling all over, some remembered to scratch their ears and cheeks, clenched their teeth, and so on. Even Jianzhen nodded his head again and again when he heard it, and often showed an expression of understanding, which was obviously a great gain.
Yun Canghai slowly also gradually got better, the pause in the middle of the sermon became less and less, the complexion became more and more comfortable, gradually, the scope of the talk was not only focused on the "Tao Te Ching", began to expand to Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Law, Mo and other schools, with the passage of time of his preaching, Yun Canghai also began to appear different colors of light, first green, white, red, black, yellow five elements of color, and then gold, silver, blue, purple and other infinite light, Infinite color, and in the end, all the light formed a ball of glass, shining with a circle of light of various colors, floating on the head of the cloudy sea.
Time flies, and when Yun Canghai stops, all kinds of phenomena disappear one by one, and the glass-colored aperture also introduces Yun Canghai's head, forming a light flesh-colored mark on his forehead. Everyone also woke up one after another, Yun Canghai watched the celestial phenomenon, and couldn't help but be very surprised, this sermon was actually carried out for nine days and nine nights!
Of course, due to the replenishment of heaven and earth aura during the preaching, everyone did not feel hungry, but begged Yun Canghai to preach for them next time, Yun Canghai seemed to be very good at talking this time, and agreed on the spot with a smile, which is also because Yun Canghai was in a good mood at this time, because the harvest of this sermon was too great
