Chapter Forty-Six: The Uninvited Guest
After Lu Zheng respectfully worshiped heaven and earth, the white-clothed man said: "Silly boy, I told you to worship heaven and earth, you worship heaven and earth, don't you have any doubts in your heart?"
Lu Zheng was puzzled: "Master, you told me to worship, then worship, should I have any doubts?"
The man in white smiled: "It seems that I told you to listen to the story of the old monk, and you really listened to it as a story." Haha, whether it's the old monk or the holy monarch on Qingqiu Mountain, in the stories they all tell, they all say that heaven and earth are fooling sentient beings, won't you be affected at all? When you were worshipping heaven and earth just now, didn't you have a trace of confusion in your heart?"
It turned out that this was what the master meant, and Lu Zheng replied without hesitation: "When I listened to the story, I had some messy ideas, especially when I heard Ye Xiaoqiu say it for the first time, I felt that she was really pitiful. But a story is a story, and it's okay to listen to it. It's what I heard, but it wasn't what I experienced, and I couldn't do what they said. My teacher said that people should act according to what they know, and should not act according to what they hear, so that they can have clarity in their hearts. If your mind is confused and your knowledge is confused, it must be because what you see and hear is too far away from you, whether it is real or not, it is illusory and distracting to you. ”
The man in white said again: "What you say can be regarded as something that can only be said in the realm of knowing the heart, but in this case, I would like to hear it, how do you view heaven and earth in your heart?"
Lu Zheng thought about it and replied with two words: "Thanksgiving!"
The man in white sighed, as if he thought it was very interesting. He asked: "Haha, this answer is the opposite of the story you heard, what they say is resentment, but you say gratitude, I want to hear the reason, why you should be grateful to heaven and earth." ”
Lu Zheng's voice suddenly turned into a deep one, and said: "I have only recently realized this, and it is also because I saw my mother in the Illusion Heart Array that I really understood." I grew up knowing that I was an orphan and that I was thrown on the street. Adopted and raised by Grandpa Lu. Since I was a child, I haven't eaten much, and I have been bullied by others. At that time, my heart was full of all kinds of confusion, I saw those children with fathers and mothers on the street, and I didn't know why I had to suffer this qiē. You can't be with your parents like any other child. Growing up in a home with a house. Be cared for by your parents.
When I grew up and became sensible, not only did I not solve these confusions, but I felt even more pity for myself. The confusion intensified, and it all turned into resentment in my heart, and I resented my father and mother, why they abandoned me and left me alone in the cold world. At that time, I looked at the other children, and I was only jealous in my heart, and when I thought of my parents, my heart was full of resentment, but deep down I was desperate to see them.
However, it wasn't until I entered the Illusion Array that I saw how my mother gave birth to me, how much she suffered for me, how hard she lived, and how much she endured the eyes of others. In contrast, although I don't have enough food and clothing, I don't know how much better than her. And I also know that she misses me every day, no less than I miss her, but there is no way to find me and take care of me. Seeing this qiē, the resentment in my heart suddenly dissipated. That's when I realized that I didn't actually hate them, but I didn't know why they put me in that situation. When I realized it, I realized that I had always been pitying and sympathizing with myself, and I had never thought about my mother's involuntary suffering. When I complained about why my parents abandoned me so ruthlessly, I never thought about why I would rather think that it was my parents' cruelty than their last resort. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Zheng's eyes moistened, and in this way, his voice became calmer and calmer, more and more affectionate, and it seemed that the resentment accumulated from childhood to adulthood also drifted into the wind with these words. The master of the man in white also seemed to be emotionally moved by his words, and did not respond to anything.
Lu Zheng was silent for a while, took a deep breath, his eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, and continued: "Now it's all right, as long as I find a suitable time, I will go to my mother, so that everything will be fine." So because of this, when I listened to the Epiphany Ethereal Master tell about those things, I didn't think that heaven and earth fooled those chaos demons, not only are there many things that I don't know, but there are also many things that may not be as that Chi You said, maybe he also misunderstood heaven and earth just like I misunderstood my parents. Anyway, because there is heaven and earth, there is me. It's like Master, you said, I was born and nurtured by the earth, so that I can have such joys, sorrows, and sorrows. If the heavens don't give birth to me and the earth doesn't support me, then there is not even me, so what is there to complain about?"
The man in white sighed and said, "It turns out that you have thought about it so much, I thought that you would get nothing from this trip on the Great Thunder Yin Mountain." The stinky boy didn't say a word, but there were a lot of tricks in his heart. Haha, it's finally okay, I went to this big Leiyin Mountain, and I didn't enter the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed, with such an understanding, it was already worth the trip. ”
Lu Zhengyi threw the peach in his hand and said, "Of course it's worth the trip, at least there is this peach, Master, you haven't told me yet, what's so strange about this peach, why do you say that I will have problems after eating it?"
The man in white said: "Do you think this is an ordinary peach? This is the old monk's half life!"
Lu Zheng was so frightened that he almost didn't catch the peach he had just thrown, only to hear him exclaim and say, "What? This peach is the master's half life?"
The white-clothed man said: "Epiphany Ethereal Spirit was born from Chaos Ancestral Qi, this peach is condensed from half of the Chaos Ancestral Qi on his body, do you say is it his half life? It's just that I didn't expect that the old monk had cultivated to such a realm, and he was able to separate the Chaos Ancestral Qi on his body, which is really amazing." ”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Ah, in this case, what will happen to the Ethereal Spirit Master? Master, go and return it to him now, it should be too late!" He heard the master of the man in white say this, and he was very worried about the epiphany.
The man in white said, "What? Is that old monk an ignorant child in your eyes? There is a reason for doing such a thing. Since you have accepted it, there is no reason to return it. Besides, if you accept this half of the Chaos Ancestral Qi, I'm afraid that the old monk will be grateful to you? If you change to someone else, how can you have this kind of life to accept this half of the Chaos Ancestral Qi. Haven't you heard of the fact that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty?"
Lu Zhengdao: "Master, although this is the case, there is such a thing under the disciple's hands. It's not just about accepting gifts. The disciple was terrified. I really can't accept it. ”
The man in white smiled and said: "Kindness becomes stubbornness, it is you who is talking about it! This old monk has entered the Buddha and studied the Buddha's method, haven't you heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle? In fact, he looks down on him. If you really respect this old monk. Don't sabotage his practice, and accept it openly, which is the right reason. I kind of admire it. I can't imagine that a monster still has such a temperament, it is really an outlier between heaven and earth, he can give up half of his chaotic ancestral qi today, and it is expected that he will be able to achieve the realm of nirvana one day. ”
Lu Zheng heard the master say this, although he felt a little unbearable, but he seemed to have to accept it. When I heard Master say about the Nirvana realm, I was surprised in my heart and said, "Master, didn't you say that monsters can't enter the cultivation tribulation and can't reach the realm of liberation?"
The man in white said: "Hehe, what is impossible between heaven and earth? Didn't you just say that you should act from knowledge, not from what you see and hear? With your cultivation, even your body and mind know that your cultivation is not yet complete, and the Tao knows your destiny and so on, and it is even more distant, let alone above God's knowledge." ”
Lu Zheng asked again: "Body knowledge and mental knowledge, what is it?"
The man in white smiled bitterly and said: "What a stupid boy, isn't he already a great confidant, Zhu Hui was born by himself, why are you still so stupid? It seems that I will have to endure hardships in the future, and I should have been taught by the talents between heaven and earth, and I am very happy." But with a silly boy like you, hey, it's self-defeating. On the path of cultivation, you have achieved the realm of knowing the body and knowing the mind, but in addition to the power of the natural birth of the body after the achievement of the body, you do not know any spells, which is that although the supernatural power is possessed, the laws are not born. The so-called law is inseparable from God, knowing the body and knowing the heart is supernatural power, so it is natural to reach this realm, and all spells are inseparable from body knowledge and mind knowledge. Now that you know your body, you should know what is the use of your body, and if you know your mind, you should know what your mind is for. After that, the realm of knowing and knowing the realm of fate are all the same, supernatural spells, but that's it. ”
When Lu Zheng heard these words, suddenly a fog seemed to disperse in his heart, and suddenly there was a great change in his body and mind, as if he had walked out of a period of ignorance and came to a clear world, where everything was there, and the flowers were fragrant, which made him laugh.
At this time, I only heard the man in white say again: "Silly boy, don't laugh, I just said that I know my body and my heart, don't you feel that someone is approaching this side now?
Of course, Lu Zheng would not be stupid enough to use his divine sense to investigate, that would be tantamount to telling the other party where he was. So he immediately looked at an old dead tree, jumped into the hole of the old tree, just when he habitually wanted to enter the realm of selflessness and converge a qiē, but he listened to the white-clothed man: "Enter the state of mind of seven feelings, never enter the empty door." ”
The man in white was always reminding him along the way, and Lu Zheng only did what he said, when he entered that kind of fixed realm, Yuan Wuyi gathered Daomen artifacts to perform the great magic power of searching the heavens and the earth and failed to find him, which can be said to be an extremely special fixed state. But at this time, just after the master of the man in white finished speaking, Lu Zheng suddenly had a thought in his heart: "Master always tells me not to enter the empty door without self, it is not a Buddhist character, and the Buddhist character is very familiar with the empty door without self, and there must be a corresponding induction method, so the master always deliberately let me enter the seven emotions and become one with all things." ”
A thought flashed, Lu Zheng had already entered the heart of the seven feelings, and suddenly forgot about the body and mind, only the love heart flowed, turned into ten thousand sounds, and fused with all the voices in the mountain, and once again reached the reputation of the seven hearts in the heart. But unlike before, Lu Zheng is no longer ignorant in such a fixed state, and the occurrence of the surrounding qiē is manifested from those sounds, so that he can know the occurrence of the surrounding qiē through the separation of the sounds.
Not long after he had taken cover, there was a sudden sound of extremely sharp wind, and there were many vibrations in the void, and then a powerful and incredible force descended from the sky and landed on this nameless hill. Suddenly, the whole mountain shook violently, and the entire mountain rock layer seemed to have been fractured inch by inch, and suddenly sank into the ground several feet, a few points shorter, and countless smoke and dust were stirred up on the top of the mountain.
What a domineering power! Lu Zheng, like everything around him, was shocked by this power, and naturally let out a trembling of horror. And the smoke and dust receded, gradually revealing the figure of a monk, Lu Zheng perceived it, and was almost so surprised that he almost immediately scared out of the realm of the Seven Emotions Heart. I never expected that it would be him!(To be continued......)
