Chapter 95 Jade Bi Enlightenment
The two changed their course, passed through the bamboo forest and the valley full of wild flowers, and reached the foot of the mountain on the left. They asked the monk to inform them. After a while, a young monk came.

"Two benefactors, my name is Yin Guang, and I will take you to see the hall master."

The Garan Hall is near the top of the mountain. In a teaching hall, the two saw the master of the hall. They felt that Wo Luohan was old, but his body was strong and his treasure was solemn.

Ning Chengfeng has never had close contact with the Mahayana True Monarch, and he admires it very much.Arhat took the letter, read it, and said:

"As a machine nobleman, the Xie family can still worship the Buddha for several generations. It is not easy. If you have any confusion, just ask."

"My disciples read the 'Heart Sutra', and realized that all afflictions come from unreached desires. But I live in the secular world, and it is impossible to have no desires. Can I, in turn, temporarily reduce or eliminate the unreached desires after afflictions appear? desire, and obtain peace?"

"Cause and effect are impermanent, why not abandon the cause and pursue the result? It is goodness and wisdom to let go of the obsession to find the root and ask the root." Jue Wo expressed his approval.

"Enlightenment first and then enlightenment gradually, enlightenment first and then sudden enlightenment, who will come first? I am confused from time to time."

"Listen to the Dharma gradually, and understand the Dharma gradually; practice gradually, and realize the fruit gradually; the sequence of sudden and gradual is not static, and the confusion can be eliminated through comprehension."

Xie Liya fell into deep thought and stopped talking. Ning Chengfeng felt that the opportunity was rare, so he asked impulsively:
"Arhat, I have integrated the mantra into the sword technique, but I always feel that it has only a shape and no reality. Is it because I don't understand the connotation?"

"You show me."

After the rehearsal was over, Juowozan said: "It's very creative, actually using the sword wind to cast a spell. The power is indeed not enough, but besides the unknown connotation, there are deeper reasons."

"Arhat please teach me."

"Your combat power should be far superior to that of the same realm. Can you tell me how to refine Qi, build foundations, and form alchemy?"

Ning Chengfeng told the story honestly, and he was amazed.

"Ning benefactor is really a genius in practice, dare to think that others dare not think, dare to do what others dare not do, even the old monk has to admire.

That's probably your problem too.You use whimsical ideas to make up for the lack of skills, but in the eyes of Buddhists, there is still suspicion of appearance.

To put it simply, in order to achieve your goal, you forcefully build bridges to connect otherwise unreachable roads.

Cultivation is to understand the innate way. Your current path can neither directly reach the innate, nor do you first understand the acquired and then pass through the innate, but create by yourself.

This road is too special, and whether it can return to innate in the future depends on understanding and chance.

When you incorporate mantras into the knife technique, it is also a forced matchmaking.Although the mantra is consistent with the innate nature, but due to the method of appearance, the obtained Tao and fruit are naturally different. "

"Could it be that I was fundamentally wrong? But judging from the results, the combat power is strong enough, which means that this path is correct?" Ning Chengfeng was a little anxious.

"Your basic skills must be in line with innateness, otherwise you would not have achieved today. But you have built too many bridges and have too deep carvings. You need to make your way, or these bridges, gradually conform to the rules of heaven."

"But I've gone a long way, and now I'm going back, is there still time?"

"It's not to let you go back to the source, but to start from now, to introspect and improve."

"Can you change it according to your own understanding?"

"of course."

"How do I know whether it is right or wrong after the revision?"

"It's very simple. If the road is right, there will be no end. If you can keep moving forward and go further and further, it means that you are on the right road, or at least a road that suits you and does not violate the laws of heaven and earth. .”

"Chengfeng, the altar scriptures say that seeing one's nature becomes a Buddha. We may not be able to recognize our own mind and see our own nature for the rest of our lives, but as long as we are on the road of seeing our nature, we are on the right path." Xie Liya realized something.

"Xie benefactor is extremely wise. That's right, that's the reason. In fact, it's not just you, even old monks. As long as you are on the way to see your nature, you will be satisfied."

"Thank you Arhat, I will rethink." Ning Chengfeng thanked him sincerely, and asked about the spell at will, but unexpectedly discovered the sequelae of Yelu Xiuxian.

Relying on brainstorming and AI deduction, although the effect is remarkable, I always worry that the road is not long. Over the years, there must be a lot of sediment deposited in the "big river".

"Luo Han is right, I built too many 'bridges' by myself." Ning Chengfeng fell into deep thought.

Xie Liya and Jue Wo did not bother him, and continued to ask and answer. At the end, Luohan said:
"Since the two benefactors have a relationship with the Buddha, the old monk gave a fortune. On the top of the back mountain, there is a piece of Buddha-sound jade, which comes from the main land. When you recite the scriptures on it, it will emit Sanskrit sounds.

If one day, you sit there without chanting, without thinking, or even completely forgetting the scriptures, and you still have Sanskrit sounds accompanying you, you will be considered successful in your practice. "

"Thank you Rohan."

Monk Yinguang arranged the guest room, and then took them to the back mountain. The mountain road is rugged, with green grass and scattered trees.

On a clear mountain stream, there is a small stone bridge. After crossing, it enters a forest surrounded by clouds and fog.At the end of the forest is the top of the mountain. Beside dozens of green bamboos, there is a pool with lotus leaves floating on the clear water.

In the center of the pool stands a three-person-high jade bi, with emerald green ribbons on the white jade, like willow buds in spring, beautiful and lively, full of vitality.

Strangely, the four green colors of bamboo, pool water, lotus leaf and emerald jade are different, but they set off each other and match extremely harmoniously.

Yin Guang showed the passing jade card to the monks stationed there, pointed to the futon beside the green pool, and said: "You two benefactors, holding the jade card, you can come here to meditate and enlighten at any time. The poor monk bids his farewell."

The two thanked each other and each found a futon to sit down on. After adjusting their breath, they looked at the writing on the jade bi.

"It's not the complete scriptures, but some classic excerpts." Shelia said.

"All sentient beings come from no beginning, all kinds of upside down, just like charming, easy to move in all directions, wrongly think that the four elements are one's own appearance, and the six dusts and predestined shadows are one's own mind appearance, like the sick eyes, seeing the flowers in the sky and the second month..."

The beauty recited it piously, and indeed there was a vision, the jade jade trembled slightly, and the beautiful Sanskrit sound came out. The Buddha's sound revealed five kinds of purity, namely, integrity, elegance, clarity, fullness of spirit, and all-round and far-reaching hearing.

Its sound is sometimes thunderous, sometimes clear and far-reaching, making people happy to hear it.Xie Liya's mind was ethereal and sober, and the obscure scriptures became easy to understand. She was mesmerized, and the whole person fell into an indescribable mystery.

Seeing that she stopped chanting, Ning Chengfeng started to try, but there was no response at first, but as he repeated it over and over again, he gradually felt that the Buddha's heart was clear, and he had a new understanding of Buddhist scriptures and mantras.

The sudden enlightenment of the two lasted for two days, and they quit one after another. They only felt peaceful and peaceful in their hearts, as if they were enlightened by the Buddha, and they became enlightened from then on.

They got up, bowed deeply to Yubi, and just went down the mountain.Back in the courtyard of the guest room, Ning Chengfeng practiced the sword technique, and the power of the mantra really became stronger.

"Chengfeng, the top priority is not to improve the mantra, but to seize the opportunity to solve the problem of 'aspects' in the cultivation of wild methods."

"Okay, after dinner, shall we go to the back mountain?"

"Row."

When I returned to the top of the mountain, I found a monk practicing, so I meditated aside, and didn't sit on the futon until the monk left.

The two recited it three times each, controlled the urge to enter meditation, stopped speaking, and tried their best to grasp the beauty of the Sanskrit sound at the last moment, hoping to retain the lingering sound.

This is of course futile, as the pronunciation stops, the Buddha's voice also completely disappears.

Repeated over and over again, Yu Bi never responded, the two of them didn't realize it, they just read silently.This reading lasted three days, and Shelia's eyes lit up, as if she had found the trick.

Ning Chengfeng vaguely touched something, but it was erratic and difficult to grasp. Instead, he recited it aloud three times, then silently recited it ten times, and the cycle continued.

Gradually found that when pronouncing, the body, soul and sound waves will resonate with the jade.

He first adjusted the soul to keep it in that state.Then through meditation, vibrate the three dantians to bring the body back to resonance, and then continue to fine-tune, trying to resonate with Yubi.

Eight days passed, he adjusted his soul and body to a wonderful state, opened his eyes, and found that the beauty had left. "Xelia really has a Buddha's fate, and she has succeeded."

He read the scriptures silently, and the jade wall shook accordingly, and the Sanskrit sound appeared, surrounding his body, making him look solemn.

After resting for half an hour, he stopped reciting silently, and he didn't think about the scriptures in his mind, but only through the vibration of the three dantians, his physical body returned to the indescribable state.

It is relatively easy to control the dantian, but it is extremely difficult to forget the scriptures.Being so close to Yubi, trying to forget it, the scriptures will automatically drill into my mind instead.

Even if you use your skills to delete the words from the soul, they will be reborn immediately, and you will never forget them. "It turns out that this is the most difficult stage of Yubi's practice."

Another week passed, still no progress, scriptures kept arriving unexpectedly.Shelia came a few times and found that he was doing penance, so she didn't bother.

"Chengfeng, think about it, have you ever encountered similar things? Or, what insights can you inspire?" Lingxi was anxious.

Ning Chengfeng fell into deep thought, and after a long time, suddenly realized:
"I once imagined the emptiness of the physical body. Since the skin, bones, and flesh and blood are all reduced to nothingness, even if the scriptures come again, the body is gone. How can it stay? The only result is to pass through without leaving a trace."

After figuring this out, he was ecstatic, but after trying it out, he found a new problem, "How to resonate with jade after the body is empty?"

Ning Chengfeng thought for a whole day, and finally realized, "Complete emptiness, of course, cannot shake the jade, but what if it is a kind of emptiness?

For example, when transforming emptiness, you don't imagine yourself as air or aura, but a fog belt with a soul, and use the profound meaning of the wind to let it dance, so as to resonate with the jade. "

Three days later, he finally got together. He forgot the scriptures, did not recite or meditate, and the Sanskrit sound would appear.After the success, Ning Chengfeng calmed down.

"I have met Arhat's requirements, but what does this have to do with my Dao? Arhat asked me to no longer be obsessed and connect the 'bridge' I built before with the Dao, but I haven't solved it."
