Extreme alert

Chapter 254 I am here

It was almost noon.The room in the guest room is facing south and facing the sun, and it is gathering the yang energy of the sky, but Ke Ke felt a little hot, so she quietly closed the curtains and turned on the air conditioner at some point.

A cold is a minor matter, but a tan is a major issue.

But in this environment, Shi Kong's narration of the original situation was very cold and weird, which made Ke Ke want to open the curtain again and return to the normal human condition.

When Shi Kong recalled the past, his emotions also became agitated, but then he realized that he had lost his composure, let out a sigh of relief, and immediately regained his former calm, saying: "Amitabha."

Shen Yue suddenly said: "I heard that eminent monks who have practiced are blessing themselves all the time. Is the recitation and breathing of the eminent monks also a method of blessing?"

Others didn't pay attention, but Shen Yue keenly observed that Shi Kong's chanting of the Buddha's name was by no means a perfunctory way like ordinary monks, because every time after he finished chanting the Buddha's name, Shi Kong would feel much calmer.

Shi Kong nodded slightly, and said softly: "What the benefactor said is not wrong at all. This is a practice method of the old monk. It reminds himself not to get too caught up, because every time he mentions the past, the old monk's emotions will fluctuate greatly."

Finally looking at Mrs. Cai, Shi Kong said: "Your husband has always refused to mention it, and it may be because the trauma is too deep, and mentioning it will inevitably be harmful to the body."

Cai Shuzhen felt a little relieved, knowing that Shikong saw her dissatisfaction with Juren Li, and said gratefully: "Thank you, monk, for explaining."

Shi Kong murmured: "It has been more than fifty years now, and every time I think of this incident, my heart still inevitably surges. The voice of 'I am here' immediately echoed in my ears."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Richard tentatively asked: "When the eminent monk was narrating just now, did you hear this voice?"

He thought to himself that if this situation continued to happen, regular psychiatrists must look at this matter with the auditory hallucination pathology in schizophrenia.

However, he does not see Shi Kong as schizophrenic. In fact, he has never seen anyone with Shi Kong's mental integrity.Shikong not only stabilizes himself, but also brings stability to those around him!

Shi Kong replied to Richard: "Not bad."

With a rare austerity in his words, "In the past 50 years, this is the first time that the old monk has recounted the past. When we met Yuan Shanwen in the past, we both tacitly never mentioned what happened back then. The old monk didn't mention this matter to Mrs. Cai last night, just because Mrs. Cai didn't seem to know about it, and the old monk himself was a little afraid, so please don't be offended by Mrs. Cai."

Mrs. Cai hurriedly said: "The eminent monk is polite."

Shi Kong took another breath and said: "The situation at that time was extremely chaotic. After I saw Yuan Shanwen and Li Wancheng's strange behavior, I didn't have time to look at the situation of the other three people. I'm afraid they were the same as the two of them. At that time, I knew If I don’t leave, I’m afraid I’ll be ruined here after many years of practice, so I chanted the Buddha’s name to raise my mind, and rushed out of the cave.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Cai said, "Where is Wancheng? Still inside?"

She knew her husband was fine, but she still wanted to know what happened in the cave and why Li Wancheng kept it secret afterwards.

Shikong said apologetically, "That's right, the benefactor Wancheng was still inside at that time. But at that time, the old monk was too busy to take care of himself. Although he rushed out of the cave, the words 'I am here' were always circling in his mind, lingering Go. The old monk was afraid that he might have entered the path of the devil..."

Looking at Richard, Shi Kong said slowly: "This situation should be the kind of schizophrenia you often talk about."

Richard said "Oh", thinking to himself that this old monk is the one who knows both Chinese and Western, and he actually integrated the practice with the neurological theory pioneered by the West.

"I used more than a dozen methods of peace of mind and determination in half a day."

Shikong showed fear, and then he said the Buddha's name again: "But none of these methods can expel those four words from my mind, which attract me to go to the cave again to see what's going on."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the situation was really weird.

Shi Kong murmured: "But I know that in this situation, I must never step into the cave again, otherwise I will never be able to walk out of my own will. I finally adopted the method of walking."

"What is the method of practice?" Richard asked curiously.

Shikong explained this kind of seeking for advice with all his heart, "Same as sitting meditation, it is a way to cultivate concentration. But sitting meditation is to seek concentration in silence, while walking is to seek concentration in motion."

Ke Ke felt strange, secretly thinking about how to decide in the middle of a move?But she had no interest in these practices, and didn't ask any questions.

Shi Kong continued: "I walked barefoot along a twenty-foot stone path non-stop back and forth, maintaining righteous attention to every movement of the body."

Seeing Shen Yue listening carefully, Shi Kong explained in detail: "Mostly meditation is about observing breathing, while walking is about observing movements. [-]. Dissipate nothingness again and again. When walking, focus on the continuity of movements instead of things outside the body.”

Seeing that Shen Yue nodded, Shi Kong said: "This is a method taught by my teacher to exorcise the inner demons. It is said that it can be used at the most critical moment. The sting finally separated my attention from the voice in my heart, and then I Only then can I use the method of walking to establish righteous thoughts, I don’t know how long it took before I finally got rid of the attraction of those four words in my mind, sat cross-legged into meditation, and once I entered into meditation, it lasted for three days.”

Sighing softly, Shi Kong showed a relieved expression instead, "I used to spend a maximum of one day in meditation. I didn't want that ordeal to improve my samadhi, and I didn't come out of samadhi until three days later."

Ke Ke asked in surprise, "Don't you eat or drink within three days?" She found it inconceivable.

Shi Kong nodded slightly. He saw that although Ke Ke was very polite, after all, he didn't have a deep relationship with Buddha, so he didn't force her to believe, "I didn't feel the pain in the soles of my feet until I came out of meditation, and I also found that I was too focused on walking. I don’t even know if I’m worn out and bleeding.”

After Shi Kong finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Yue, and murmured: "It's good, it's good."

Shen Yue listened intently to Shi Kong's narration, and felt that it was actually very rewarding.

What he gained was not the result of the incident, but the method taught by Shi Kong, thinking that if he was controlled by Nuan Yu's mind in the future, this method might work.

Thinking of this, and seeing Shi Kong's kind eyes, Shen Yue actually felt that Shi Kong's detailed explanation of the scriptures was for him, and said gratefully: "Thank you, eminent monk, for your guidance."

Shi Kong nodded, showing relief.

Richard couldn't help but said, "Eminent monk, you said that you didn't feel the pain on the soles of your feet at all after entering meditation? From a medical point of view, this is absolutely impossible."

Shi Kong smiled and said, "There have been many unbelievable things about bringing the dead back to life in medical cases. It seems that medicine has not given a scientific explanation?"

"Cultivation is really so magical?" Richard asked eagerly.

"Only when a practitioner enters samadhi can he experience such a miraculous situation. After leaving samadhi, he is no different from ordinary people, and will suffer pain."

Shi Kong finished explaining the Dharma, and continued: "The old monk has lingering fears about the incident of becoming a demon, but he is concerned about the safety of Li Wancheng's benefactor and others, so he decided to go to the cave to check again."
