Chapter 906 All Four Are Empty!

The ten-day handyman disciple is done!
Ten Buddhist classics, finished!

Qin Di was led by Master Xuyun to the foot of the mountain where Bodhi Patriarch lived.

There is a deep cave with four big characters "Slanting Moon and Three Stars" written on the entrance of the cave.

Master Xuyun said: "This is the real Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave. The Slanting Moon and Three Stars is a word for 'heart'. Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai is the word for 'Xun', and together it is 'Xunxin'. In this cave , if you can find your true heart, withstand the test, and go to the end in one breath, you will be able to meet Patriarch Bodhi!"

Qin Di thanked him, and then walked into the cave.

At the beginning, the cave was not dark, but the glazed glass, and images of giant Buddhas appeared one after another on the stone walls on both sides.Each one comes to life.

Qin Di vaguely heard that there seemed to be a great Buddha talking: "Qin Ku, stop, let me teach you the secret method of Buddhism. After you learn it, you can move mountains and fill seas, subdue dragons and subdue tigers, and conquer the world with joy..."

"Qin Ku, why don't you follow me? I'll give you the skillful hand to cover the sky. Dealing with Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors is like finding something out of a bag..."

"Qin Ku, I am the third ancient Buddha..."

"Qin Ku, I have heard Hongjun's lectures..."

Qin Di knew in his heart that these were illusions, all dharmas were empty, and all Buddhas were extinct, so he continued to walk forward without stopping.

After a while, the cave began to become dark, thousands of ghosts appeared around him, beautiful female ghosts danced around him, and evil ghosts with green faces and fangs blocked his way forward.

Qin Di thought to himself: "I am a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect, and I have many ghost kings and ghost immortals under my command. How can you frighten me with this stuff?"

He held the seventh-level Buddha fire in the palm of his hand, and the Buddha fire illuminated the cave, and those female ghosts were prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

Next, he continued to walk forward, and in another space, he saw the demon again, like a flying witch, she looked so real, with big breasts and fat buttocks, full of temptation, one of the women was named Trishna, one The girl's name is Luo Di, and the other girl's name is Luo Jia. The three girls are teasing him in every possible way, with red lips and soft jade, but Qin Di ignored him and continued to walk forward.

As he walked, he climbed one step after another and fell into one dream after another. Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire, one after another, the inner demons emerged one after another!
Fortunately, Qin Di's spiritual sense is strong, and every time he takes a step, he uses the means of killing with his spiritual sense to kill these demons one by one.

After coming down, he entered one cave after another, and experienced ninety-nine and 81 reincarnations, and each reincarnation is a lifetime.

In some reincarnations, he was thrown into the [-]th hell to suffer, while in other reincarnations, he became the emperor of the world and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

These reincarnations are not the same, of all shapes and sizes, with many differences.For him, every reincarnation is a test, as long as he is intoxicated once, he will be rejected by the oblique moon three-star cave.

Nine-nine 81 reincarnations, I don't know how long it took, Qin Di's mind was devastated, and at the same time, he also grew tremendously. When the reincarnation ended, his Foshan suddenly increased to eight hundred feet, and his body appeared inexplicably. at the hilltop.

In the palace on the top of the mountain, sat a monk with a solemn treasure.

This man didn't wear cassock or Taoist robes, but instead wore a loose sackcloth, with a bun on his head, a yellow face with a slight beard, eyes half open and half closed, his nose straight and big ears, motionless as a mountain.

What Qin Di focused on was not his dusty appearance, but his sitting posture and momentum.As described in Journey to the West:
Dajue Jinxian has no dirt, Bodhi, the ancestor of the Western Miracle;
The three or three acts of immortality and immortality, full of qi, full of spirit, and myriad benevolence.

Emptiness is naturally subject to change, just as one's own nature does at will;

The solemn body of the same life as the sky, the great master of Mingxin through calamities.

Patriarch Bodhi sat on the stone platform, his body straightened, motionless, with one palm raised in front of his chest, he seemed to be muttering something, but no sound came out.

Qin Di stepped forward and knelt down, waiting quietly.

Hour by hour, hour by hour, unknowingly, eighteen hours had passed before Patriarch Bodhi raised his eyes and looked at him, saying: "Qin Ku, since you are already a person in the immortal way, why bother to step into the Buddhist gate? "

Qin Di was shocked, and hurriedly bowed, saying: "Patriarch, this disciple is in the world of mortals, but he has a heart for the Buddha, and I ask the patriarch to fulfill him."

Patriarch Bodhi said meaningfully: "In recent years, the immortal world has been in chaos and killings are endless, and you are the one who should be robbed. The Buddhist sect does not want to get involved in this turmoil. If I accept you as a disciple, I am afraid that in the future, I will be punished by all kinds of people. Buddha blames."

Qin Di was surprised, and immediately said: "Buddhism is merciful, the patriarch saves all living beings, the four elements are all empty, all living beings are equal, there should be no distinction between immortals."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly: "Amitabha, I didn't expect you to have such enlightenment after only ten days of reciting the Buddha's name. If so, I will take you under my sect!"

Qin Di was overjoyed and hastily kowtowed again and again: "Disciple pays homage to master."

Patriarch Bodhi waited for him to kowtow nine times, and said slowly: "When Hongjun preached in the past, my teacher followed the World Honored One and listened to him for seven days. He has dabbled in both Buddhism and Taoism. There are 360 ​​side doors in the word "Tao", all of which have positive results. I don't know which one you want to learn? Well, if you continue to learn Taoist Kung Fu, it will not be difficult for you to be a teacher."

Qin Di said: "It's based on the meaning of respecting the teacher. The disciples will listen wholeheartedly."

The patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way in the word 'shu'?"

Qin Di took a breath and thought to himself: "Why does this tone of voice sound similar to what Sun Wukong encountered? Could it be said that Patriarch Bodhi met every new disciple with this process?"

He still remembered the plot of Journey to the West in his mind, so he replied casually: "How about the Tao of Shumen?"

The patriarch said: "In the art of calligraphy, there are those who ask the immortals to help Luan, and ask the buds to know the principles of avoiding evil."

With a smile on her face, Qin Di asked Sun Wukong: "Is it possible to live forever like this?"

Patriarch said: "No! No!"

Qin Di waved his hand and said, "Don't learn! Don't learn!"

The patriarch said again: "How about I teach you the way of the word 'flow'?"

Qin Di asked: "What's the meaning in Liuzimen?"

The patriarch said: "In the Liuzimen, there are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yangism, Mohistism, medical school, or reading scriptures, or reciting Buddha, and pilgrimage to the truth."

The smile on Qin Di's face became wider: "Is it possible to live forever like this?"

The patriarch said: "If you want to live forever, it's like 'An Zhu in the wall'."

Qin Di said: "Master, what is 'Bili Anzhu'?"

The patriarch said: "When people build a house, they want to make it strong. Put a pillar between the walls. One day the building will collapse, and he will die."

Qin Di waved his hand again, and said: "That said, it won't last long. Don't learn! Don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way of the word 'quiet'?"

Qin Di said: "In the gate of Jingzi, what is the real fruit?"

The patriarch said: "This is resting food and guarding the grain, being quiet and doing nothing, practicing Zen meditation, abstaining from speech and fasting, or sleeping or performing meritorious deeds, and entering meditation and sitting in the gate."

Qin Di said: "Is it possible to live forever like this?"

The patriarch said: "It also looks like 'kiln head adobe'."

Qin Di laughed and said, "What is the so-called 'kiln head adobe'?"

The patriarch said: "Just like the bricks and tiles made on the head of the kiln, although they have been formed, they have not been tempered by water and fire. Once the heavy rain comes, it will be flooded."

Qin Di said: "It's not long-term. Don't learn! Don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way in the word 'moving'?"

Qin Di said: "The way to move the door, but what?"

The patriarch said: "This is something to be done, harvesting yin to nourish yang, climbing a bow and stepping on a crossbow, rubbing the navel to pass the breath, cooking it with squares, burning grass to make a tripod, adding red lead, refining autumn stones, and taking women's milk, etc. "

Qin Di said: "Is it like waiting for a long life?"

The patriarch said: "This desire to live forever is like 'fishing for the moon in water'."

Qin Di said: "Master is here again! How do you say 'fishing for the moon in the water'?"

The patriarch said: "The moon is in the sky, and there are shadows in the water. Although you can see it, it's just nothing to touch. In the end, it's just an empty ear."

Qin Di said: "Don't learn! Don't learn!"

Patriarch Bodhi stopped with anger on his face: "You hozen, are you determined to learn my Buddhist kung fu? Do you really want my Buddhist sect to intervene in this disaster? Do you know how many Buddhist disciples will perish in this way? people?"

Qin Di took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "Master, I'm just a small person, how can I let Buddhism fall into disaster?"

Patriarch Bodhi said: "The wind and the clouds will come and go. Unless you agree to be a teacher, you will not say that you are my disciple when you go out in the future, no matter when and where!"

Qin Di recalled that Sun Wukong had faced the same experience when he left, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and resolutely said: "Master, I will remember your words, and I won't say that I am your disciple until I cover the sky with my hands." , and will not harm others with Buddhist kung fu. I am willing to ask the master to pass on my supernatural powers."

Patriarch pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you know what is the best kung fu for a teacher?"

Qin Di thought for a while and said: "Some people say that the master is the 'first solution to emptiness', I wonder if it is true?"

The patriarch said: "Is it the number one thing to understand emptiness? As a teacher, I dare not say that Buddhism is the first, because the World Honored One is still at the forefront! Hengle is stable, good at understanding emptiness, and aims at emptiness. The best kung fu for a teacher is to understand emptiness. Already!"

Qin Di's eyes lit up: "Master, I want to learn this skill from you."

The patriarch said: "As a teacher, this skill is called 'the five aggregates are all empty'. You know what the "five aggregates" are."

Qin Di finally read the top ten Buddhist classics, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness are called the five aggregates."

The Patriarch asked, "Do you know what form aggregates are?"

Qin Di replied: "The aggregate of form is the synthesis of form. Our understanding of matter is nothing more than identifying it from the color and shape. Form is matter, and everything in the world is form."

Patriarch said: "There are four elements of color, earth, fire, feng shui. Do you know what are the four elements?"

Qin Di thought for a while and said: "The four major elements refer to the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, just like the five elements of Taoism, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The four elements cover the entire universe. For example, mountains and land belong to the earth. Oceans and rivers belong to the element of water, hot sun and heat belong to the element of fire, air flow in space belongs to the element of wind. If they are placed on the human body, for example, hair, flesh and blood belong to the element of earth, blood secretion belongs to the element of water, body temperature belongs to the element of fire, and breath belongs to the element of wind. In terms of physical properties, hardness belongs to the element of earth, moisture belongs to the element of water, warmth belongs to the element of fire, flow belongs to the element of wind..."

The patriarch was very satisfied, nodded and smiled and said: "You have such an understanding, you can be regarded as an introduction, and you have a certain foundation. As a teacher, you can pass on the preliminary exercises of 'all five aggregates are empty'."

Qin Di felt a little discouraged when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "Why is this the initial exercise?"

The patriarch said again: "You also said just now that the first of the five aggregates is the color aggregate, which is divided into four major ones. As a teacher, I will teach you that 'all four are empty'!"

When Qin Di heard this, he was both happy and frightened, and thought to himself: "From now on, will I be empty of all things? My confidante, my beloved disciples, my familiar friends, my body and everything Do you want to leave everything behind and turn into nothingness?"

I heard the patriarch say: "If you want to practice the supernatural power of 'the four elements are all empty', you must first have the four elements, and then you can release the emptiness!"

Qin Di was taken aback: "Master, how can we have the Big Four? Don't we already have the Big Four in each of us?"

The patriarch said: "Among the four great ones, earth fire, feng shui, you first have the seventh-level Buddha fire, which is called 'fire big'; The greatness and the greatness of water! It is necessary to establish the two greatnesses first, in order to practice the supernatural power that the four greatnesses are all empty."

Qin Di was taken aback: "Ah, these are the Big Four? With the Four Big Four, what can we do?"

The patriarch said: "With the four majors, there are four powerful attack methods! You can use Buddha fire to burn, Buddha mountains to collapse, hurricanes to blow, and Buddha water to wash and practice. These are the four methods of subduing dragons and tigers, but it is only the first step , belongs to the category of 'emptiness is form'. Then there is the second step of kung fu, let the flames go out, the mountains topple, the hurricane subsides, the flood disappears, and the opponent's attack is turned into nothingness, which belongs to the category of 'form is emptiness'. Combining the two, That's 'all four are empty'!"

Qin Di breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "It's okay! It's not that I want to abandon everything!"

He had already cultivated the chaotic kung fu of the five elements. If he compared the five elements with the four elements, wood, fire, earth, gold, water, and earth, fire, and feng shui, there was only one more gap. It's very similar.Because green wood is the wind, wood follows the wind is corresponding.

Therefore, for him, to practice the four elements are all empty, and to establish the four elements first, which is no different from Immortal Kung Fu. The difference lies in how to "resolve the emptiness" and turn the existing things into nothingness. It is the real supernatural power of Patriarch Bodhi as "the first to solve emptiness"!
Listening to Patriarch Bodhi's advice: "You still have a lot to improve! First, you need to raise the Buddha Fire from the seventh level to the ninth level, and then raise the eight-hundred-foot Buddha Mountain to three thousand feet, which is equivalent to Miaojue Bodhisattva. , the way of water."

"In the north of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, there is a vast lake, which contains all kinds of fairy water, Buddha water, and magic water. As a teacher, in the early years of the prehistoric period, he paid attention to collecting these materials. You can go there to practice. How much holy water you refine is all your creation!"

"In the east of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, there is a Hurricane Valley, which is a place to practice wind spells."

"After you have cultivated the elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, I will teach you the method of emptying the four elements. As long as you have practiced this kind of supernatural power, it is easy to deal with ordinary fairy kings. If you want to have a higher If you want to ask, then you have to practice all five aggregates are empty! When you practice all thoughts, thoughts, and consciousness into emptiness, you will not be born or die, will not be dirty or clean, will not increase or decrease, and will have no ignorance. There is no end to ignorance, no suffering to destroy the way, and to overcome all hardships..."
