Rebirth: Out of Demons and Into Buddhas 2

Cheng Lao sat down, turned his eyes on Jing Fu, and gradually began to smile.

He couldn't quite see anything else, but he could see clearly one thing.The Master Jingfu in front of him was seriously inquiring about his situation, not to use him as a ladder to inquire about the bodhi tree in the tree garden, or to catch up with the guards and township officials in the town. old.

That's right, this mage Jingfu is not very old, but his cultivation is very good, even he can't feel the truth, and the future is very bright, so why bother with him, an old-looking Jindan monk? Playing with some of these?

Cheng Lao didn't say anything else, his eyes were quite bright, and he could see things very well.Seeing Jing Fu's sincerity now, he put aside many precautions, sat down comfortably on the futon, brought himself a bowl of tea, and asked, "What does the mage want to hear?"

Seeing him relax, Jing Fu also smiled, "It doesn't matter what, Mr. Cheng can say whatever he wants, it's fine."

After hearing this, Mr. Cheng took a closer look at Jing Fu, and had some guesses in his heart.

But the practice of Master Jingfu has nothing to do with him.Since Jing Fu, a guest, is interested, he, an old guy who can barely be called the master, will not refuse easily.

Master Jingfu listening to him chatting here is more reassuring than Hou in the tree garden with the bodhi tree, isn't it?

Cheng Lao took a sip of tea, and then said to Jing Fu, "I am indeed from Chenghua Town. I was born here since I was a child, but I was selected by the sect later, and I was accepted as a pawn in the sect. It's just a disciple..."

"Speaking of which, at that time, I was still very young, less than knee height. I only heard people talking about immortals, but I didn't want to leave the house, so I cried a lot. I dare not make trouble,... ...There is no senior brother or sister who can swear, but even a straight face is scary enough. …"

Jing Fu sat idle in this small courtyard of Mr. Cheng, listening to Mr. Cheng talk about the past for about an hour. It was not until Mr. Cheng woke up from his memories that Jing Fu said goodbye to Mr. Cheng and was sent out by him. tree garden.

Cheng Lao stood in front of the courtyard gate of the tree garden, watching the slender figure gradually go away, finally turned a corner, and completely disappeared from his sight.

After being silent for a long time, Mr. Cheng suddenly sighed, and was about to turn around and close the courtyard door.But just as he put his hands on the courtyard door, a child of seven or eight years old walked over from the other side of the long street, leading a child of about four or five years old.

Old Cheng stopped his movements, turned sideways, and smiled at the two children.

The silence and gloom that had lingered between his brows and eyes just now was swept away by this smile, "Why are you brothers here at this time? If you run out like this, your parents will blame you later."

Before the seven or eight-year-old boy could speak, the four- or five-year-old boy refuted him first.

"Grandpa Cheng, what you said is wrong. My brother and I came here after asking our parents. They wouldn't talk about us..."

That little boy was so cute, Mr. Cheng was not really angry, he smiled and waited.

When the two brothers got close, they let go of their hands, and saluted Cheng Lao in a proper manner.

Cheng Lao nodded, and pushed the courtyard door open again, "Okay, come in with me. What do you want to learn today?"

The older child led the younger child, but his younger brother quickly replied as he entered the door, "Grandpa Cheng, I want to learn how to rub pills, that's fun!"

Old Cheng smiled, neither saying yes nor no, and only when the two children had entered the yard did he close the gate.

Jing Fu was not walking fast, and he could still hear the movement of Mr. Cheng and the two brothers behind him. He slowed down, turned around to take a look, and smiled, then turned around again and walked along the street.

He walked through the streets and alleys, and saw not many people, but there were also many.But he didn't bother others, he just walked slowly through it.

But even so, the people living in Chenghua Town have been reflected in his eyes.

The linden tree seedlings were still hidden in the sleeve pockets, and now they sensed the slight change in Jing Fu's breath, and unconsciously shook the top crown leaves.

Jing Fu kept walking, seeing all kinds of things here in his heart and eyes, and had no time to take care of himself.Therefore, it was not until the sun was high and after lunch that Jing Fu had time to ask the Bodhi tree seedling, "What's wrong?"

The linden tree sapling had come out of Jingfu's sleeve pocket at this time, and was standing beside Jingfu at this moment, and when he asked, he paused.

Seeing it like this, Jing Fu smiled and asked again.

Only then did the Bodhi tree seedlings falter and speak.

"Now... can you bear the reality of this world?"

As soon as Jing Fu heard it, he knew what the Bodhi tree seedling was worried about.

What is the reality of this world?Naturally, the world of mortals is in turmoil, and the world is suffering.

When the body is in the world of mortals, if the heart also enters the world of mortals, it will be entangled by the warmth like sweet juice in the world of mortals, and finally fall into the world of mortals, forgetting the poison of the world of mortals, which often corrodes the heart of Taoism.

But walking in the world of mortals, you can't help comforting people's hearts with the short-term warmth, otherwise, how can you persist in going through the long life?

The linden seedlings were worried about Jing Fu, and Jing Fu knew it very well.

It's really because Jing Fu walked all the way in this Shensang world, really went deep into the world of mortals, and deeply felt the suffering of the people here, but at the same time, he remained sober, watching this world, and even the world of heaven and earth. All living beings fall into this greed, hatred and ignorance over and over again. While they are suffering from greed, hatred and ignorance, they also involve too many innocent people, let others bear their own sins, and accompany themselves Pain, so cause and effect become more entangled, can't find the beginning, and can't find the time to cut off.

People who are immersed in all kinds of emotions will be happy for all kinds of emotions, and feel pain for all kinds of emotions. That was waking despair.Therefore, the world is suffering, but the sea of ​​suffering is boundless.

This is real.

The truth that pervades the heavens and the universe, engulfing the beings of the heavens.

However, this is not a sea of ​​suffering that can be transcended simply by holding strength.Strength can ensure that a living being will not be harmed by external forces, but it is the heart and soul of a living being that can truly detach him.

The current Jing Fu is far from seeing the hope of detachment, but he has escaped from his own sorrows, joys, sorrows and joys, opened his eyes to see the heavens and the universe, saw the endless creatures in the heavens and the universe, and felt their pain and joy , taste their good and evil.

As far as the eye can see, the world of mortals is also the despair of hell; and in the turmoil of the world of mortals, and in the hearts of those subtle people, there is never really a clean place of despair.

It is the saints standing at the peak of the heavens and the universe, they can freely come and go in the world of mortals, and they will live through thousands of kalpas and be immortal, so what?

They are detached from the world, standing on the top of the heavens and the universe, disasters do not invade their bodies, and thoughts do not disturb their gods, but that detachment is only in themselves, when will they really help others to be detached?

It is they who have pointed out the direction of the road for their disciples and friends, and mentioned all kinds of key points. When will they be able to help others to truly transcend?

In the Western Heaven there is the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, in which there are all kinds of wonderful beings that will last for thousands of kalpas, as if they are free from worries and dust, but will the thousands of living beings living in the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom really be free from worries and kalpas? ?

Human hearts are always insufficient.

After filling the stomach and satisfying the six desires, there will always be greater greed, which disturbs people's hearts. How can it be considered worry-free?

There is no pure land in the Western Paradise, and the real Pure Land and Lingshan are not in the Western Paradise.

Jing Fu wanted to laugh, but his stiff face froze on his own.So Jing Fu also fell silent.

The ones who are silent are not only the Buddha body of Jingfu, but also the sober demon body in the world of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The heart demon body is also rare at the moment and has no expression. The stiff face is no different from the Jingfu Buddha body.

Bodhi tree seedlings stand by the side of Jingfu, and the blue Bodhi aura hangs from the top.

The aura of bodhi washes over Jingfu's body, soothing the void around Jingfu, hoping to stabilize Jingfu's heart.

Jing Fu was silent for a long time under the shade of the tree, until the big sunset in the sky was facing west, and the already yellowish sunlight spread straight on his face, he pulled his face and showed a still stiff smile, "Am I Can it sink like this?"

The linden seedling didn't speak, but the canopy on top of it shook again, making a whirling sound.

How about the sea of ​​suffering in the world of mortals, and how about the subtlety of the human heart?In the earliest days, Jingfu had seen and experienced each of them in person.

At that time, he thought that strength could keep him alive, and wisdom could keep him peaceful, so he pursued strength, polished wisdom, and walked out through all the obstacles.

Now, he just knows that his wisdom and strength are not enough to guarantee his survival, and his heart and soul are not really strong enough to support him to escape, so what's the matter?This is the truth, didn't he already know it?

Just like the fact that the world of mortals is as chaotic as hell, he can't escape, just because he doesn't have enough strength and wisdom.

Jing Fu lowered his eyelids, letting the slightly cool evening wind blow his robe.

There are no spiritual mountains and pure lands in the Western Paradise, and the real spiritual mountains and pure lands are only in the hearts of living beings themselves.

If you have a stable mind and a calm mind, you will be able to see the Lingshan and the Pure Land; if you have an uneasy mind and a restless mind, no matter how you search, the Lingshan and the Pure Land will not appear.Those who can be seen are all delusion.

The Bodhi tree seedlings sensed something, and temporarily absorbed the naturally falling Bodhi aura, and when the layers of bright clouds spread behind Jing Fu's head, its Bodhi aura fell again, superimposed on the layers of bright clouds.

The Bodhi tree seedling didn't think too much at this time.

It has only one thought, the little monk Jingfu had some enlightenment when he was in the tree garden this morning, and now it is not evening, he seems to have enlightenment again.Such a fast practice will not bring all the benefits to the practitioners, it will have to help a bunch of young monks.

But obviously, this enlightenment did not bring much burden to Buddha Jingfu.

Chen Zao was indeed a bit risky that time, but he was not this time.This time, he just wiped away a thin piece of dust, seeing the facts that he already knew, what burden could it bring him?

Jing Fu put away the bright cloud at the back of his head, turned around and raised his sleeves to the Bodhi tree seedling, and put it directly into his sleeve pocket.

"Go back, it's getting late."

He turned around and walked away.

The golden sunset shone on him, wrapping his whole body in a thick light, even if it was just a quick glance, it would make people feel at ease, and feel at ease from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing this, many people from Chenghua Town who came back in a hurry at sunset laughed unconsciously, folded their hands together, and bowed silently to Jingfu.

In the sea of ​​consciousness world, the heart demon body closed his eyes, and after a while, he let out a low snort.

Although the three bodies of Jing Fu complement each other and there is no clear division in practice, when it comes to practice, they also have their own biases.

For example, among the three bodies of Jing Fu, the original deity stabilizes the mind, the Buddha body is responsible for increasing wisdom, but he... is responsible for improving strength.

Outsiders may not be very clear about the progress of the deity of Jingfu, but just looking at the breakthroughs in the cultivation of the Buddha body and the demon body that have never stagnated, one can know that everything is going well with the deity of Jingfu as the foundation.

If there is no solid and solid foundation, how can we build a tall building?

So even though Jingfu's deity has been quiet all the time, Jingfu's inner demon body and Buddha body will never ignore him.And it is also because the demon body and the Buddha body are very aware of the contribution of the deity of Jingfu, so they respect the deity of Jingfu as always, and never neglect him.

Otherwise, even if it is the deity, how can the Buddha body and the demon body obey?

The deity has gained a lot, and the Buddha body has also gained a lot. How can he, who is also Jingfu, admit defeat?

The demon body raised his hand, revealing the starlight twirled between his fingertips.

The starlight is hazy but thick, and it rests quietly at the fingertips of the demon body at this moment, harmless and cute.

But the body of the Buddha, who glanced at the world of the sea of ​​consciousness, could not stop being cold.

'......This is? '

The heart demon who was originally intended to let the Buddha body look at him casually scattered the starlight in his palm, and answered him with a smile, 'What do you think? '

The Buddha body was silent for a while, and then said, "In the future, don't use such things to fight people lightly." '

He was very sure that even a great cultivator in the Xuanxian realm, if he really received this starlight in a down-to-earth manner, it would be enough for him.

The demon body didn't care much, 'I didn't intend to take this thing out easily. '

The Buddha body glanced at him, but smiled, "If there is such a trick in the future, don't hide it, and let me and the deity have a look." '

The demon body carefully concealed the smile on his lips, nodded his head normally, and said, "Okay, so you two won't say I'm hiding something." '

Jing Fu shook his head slightly, took out the key to open the courtyard door, pushed the door open and walked in.

The round of sunset hanging in the sky hadn't completely sunk down the mountain, but Jing Fu actually saw Zhang Yuanshan in the yard.Even Jing Fu couldn't help but stop and asked, "Brother Dao, did you come back so early today?"

Zhang Yuanshan was washing vegetables by the well, and when he heard Jingfu’s question, he raised his head to look at him, and replied with a smile, “Yes, I have less things to do today, so I’ll be back earlier. Are you going to look in the tree garden? Is it over?"

With just one glance, Zhang Yuanshan discovered the subtle changes in Jing Fu's body, and he more or less guessed Jing Fu's itinerary today.

"I've gone to see it." Jing Fu replied, while raising his hand to let out the linden tree seedling that was stored in his sleeve pocket.

When Zhang Yuanshan saw the saplings of the Bodhi tree, his eyes lit up again.

"Little friend Bodhi, are you back too?"

Jing Fu went back to the wing, and when he came out, he was only wearing a neat monk robe.

He walked through the courtyard, looked at the linden saplings standing there, smiled, and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Yuanshan was no longer at the well.

With Jingfu helping Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Yuanshan quickly prepared a table of meals.When the two of them were digesting food at the table, the sunset in the sky completely sank to the side of Xishan.

In the far sky, the sky is full of red clouds, and on the near side of the sky, there are birds returning to their nests, a peaceful and natural scene.

However, in such a beautiful scene, Zhang Yuanshan only held the spiritual fruit and turned his head to look at Jing Fu next to him.

"Little monk, how do I feel that you today..."

Jing Fu put down the hand holding the spirit fruit and turned to look at him.

Zhang Yuanshan pondered for a while, but could only shake his head, "No, it's nothing."

Jing Fu smiled, took a bite of the pulp, and after chewing for a while, the sweetness in the pulp faded away, and the normal taste returned to his mouth.But this familiar taste, after the sweetness of the pulp faded, gave Jing Fu a slightly bitter feeling.

Jing Fu knew that it was not that he really tasted the bitter taste, but the feeling left by the tongue coating after comparing the two tastes.It was also the physical body that was urging him, so that he could swallow the pulp in his hand, even the pulp in the fruit plate, and even the pulp that Zhang Yuanshan still kept.

This is desire and greed.

Jing Fu smiled, put the piece of spiritual fruit into his mouth again, and took a bite of the flesh.

After the wall sac of the pulp was bitten, the juice in the pulp splashed in the mouth, whether it was the inspiration or the sweetness contained in the pulp, Jing Fu tasted it carefully in that instant.

Zhang Yuanshan was just eating the pulp normally, but at this moment he noticed something, and looked sideways in the direction of Jingfu.

Jing Fu chewed the pulp naturally, raised his eyes normally, and looked at Zhang Yuanshan, looking at him as if asking questions.

Zhang Yuanshan paused, shook his head again, and finally said after a while, "Little monk, you go to the tree garden, you seem to have realized something."

It was indeed he who suggested that Jing Fu go to see the Bodhi Spirit Tree, which was only a sprout. He also knew that as the person who sent the Bodhi seeds, Jing Fu would definitely gain something from the Bodhi Spirit Tree, but he did not Thinking that the change of the little monk would be so obvious.

how to say?

If the Jingfu he saw before today was still looking for something on the road, then the Jingfu now has settled on certain ideas and can move forward more steadily and calmly.

Zhang Yuanshan is not blind to such an obvious change, how could he not notice it?

He paused, put down the spiritual fruit in his hand, even washed the juice stained on his palm with clean water, returned to the edge of the stone table, clasped his hands to Jing Fu who was still sitting on the stone bench, and saluted solemnly.

"Excuse me, Master Jingfu, did Master have some enlightenment today?"

Zhang Yuanshan was very solemn, and Jing Fu also showed the same respect.

He also washed his hands, returned a salute, and replied Zhang Yuanshan, "I do have a clear understanding."

Facing Zhang Yuanshan's questioning gaze, he paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and replied, "Jingfu is lucky to see Lingshan today, and he is naturally enlightened and overjoyed."

Zhang Yuanshan's movements stopped for a moment, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at Jing Fu.

He knew that Jingfu had reaped a lot of money today, but he never thought that today's Jingfu had such an understanding.

Seeing Lingshan clearly, this is Lingshan.

Although Zhang Yuanshan himself is a Taoist cultivator, he followed a path of Taoist cultivator, which is different from Buddhist cultivators like Jingfu.But to practice the Dao, different routes lead to the same goal. The Lingshan Mountain called by Buddhism also has its own name in Taoism.

Zhang Yuanshan, as a practitioner who has gone a certain distance on the path of cultivation, has naturally seen such a scene.Therefore, he also knows how much Jingfu's enlightenment today will be of great help to his own practice in the future.

That is no longer Lingshan, but Jingfu's own way and thoughts.

Seeing Lingshan clearly will not only allow Jingfu to clarify his direction and goals in the further stage of practice, but also help Jingfu to get rid of the influence of other Buddhist masters to a certain extent, allowing him to truly walk on his own path. way.

This is very difficult for any practitioner.It is even more helpful for Buddhist practice like Jingfu who cultivates the mind.

The mind is inherently subtle, and in that subtle mind, a slight difference will result in many choices.And these many choices determine many paths.But as a mind trainer, if he wants to go all the way to the end, he must find the one that best suits his heart among the many choices and paths.

Other than that, there is no other way.

So the difficulty in the middle is that whoever comes can see it clearly at a glance.

As for those who got it wrong...

In front of the gate of the avenue are bones.

And Jing Fu can see Lingshan clearly at this time, no matter what, it is a good thing.

Great job!

Zhang Yuanshan smiled, but soon, he suppressed the smile on his face, clasped his palms together and bowed to Jingfu, and asked, "Master Jingfu, where is Lingshan?"

"Lingshan..." Jing Fu also smiled, he raised his finger and pointed to the position of his own heart, then pointed to the position of Zhang Yuanshan's heart, and replied, "It's here."

Zhang Yuanshan clapped his palms, stood up straight, and laughed loudly, "Good! Great good!"

"Congratulations, little monk." Zhang Yuanshan sat down again on the edge of the stone table, took out a fruit plate from his side, and put it in front of Jing Fu.

Jing Fu looked at the spiritual fruit in front of him, and showed him the spiritual fruit that he had only half-eaten, "I still have it."

As for the spiritual fruit that Zhang Yuanshan brought to him just now, he probably couldn't take it anymore and would hold on.

This point, Jing Fu is still very clear.

Zhang Yuanshan waved his hand, "Don't worry, you can bear it today."

Jing Fu took another look at him, but he didn't refuse any more. He just smiled with Zhang Yuanshan, "So, brother Zhang Dao, you want to tell me that this piece of spiritual fruit is the congratulatory gift you want to give me?"

Zhang Yuanshan, who was still gnawing on the spirit fruit in his hand, widened his eyes exaggeratedly for a moment.He swallowed the pulp in his mouth in two gulps, and took the time to justify himself, "Am I so stingy?"

"That's not true." Jing Fu shook his head, repaying Zhang Yuanshan's innocence.

The author has something to say: Sorry, this is the end of the update, good night everyone.
