Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 500: Be less calculating

In Haoran Academy, there is Peng Mountain, with beautiful forest gullies. There is a jade platform built on the top of the mountain. This platform is called "Yu Feng". It is only a hundred steps long and wide, and looks slightly delicate.

That day, a startling rainbow came from a distance and floated down in the sky.

When the glory subsided, Cao Wei glanced at the two people sitting opposite the case. One of them was an elegant middle-aged man in green clothes, and the other was a monk in white robes.

This middle-aged man's name is Qi Sheng, and he is the contemporary Yuanying ancestor of Haoran Academy. Like Cao Wei and Bai Yun, this person is also a late-stage Jindan monk who survived from the Sihai Palace group.

Speaking of which, the other party had a baby several years earlier than both Cao Wei and Bai Yun.

And when the True Lord of Qi Province came to power, True Lord Xiansi of Haoran Academy also took the opportunity to retreat to the rear and travel around, looking for opportunities to break through the late Nascent Soul stage.

As for the monk in white, he is Baiyun from Wu Nian Temple.

In Cao Wei's gray eyes, this person did not look like a so-called humanoid, but looked like a mass of formless thoughts, either turning into a great demon and roaring up to the sky, or sitting upright like a Buddha, holding a flower and smiling, Or, like ordinary mortals, they grow from children to youth at a speed visible to the naked eye, then into middle age, then into a gray-haired old man, and finally die.

However, in a second thought, the dead old man suddenly opened his eyes again, and then, as if he were going back in time, he retreated into middle age, youth, children... and other different stages of life.

As soon as he saw this scene, Cao Wei already knew that Bai Yun must have used the method of "No Thought Mental Appearance". A single thought transformed into thousands of bodies, changed into different appearances, went into the rolling world of mortals, and comprehended the various aspects of life.

As soon as he said this, Bai Yun smiled and said, "Brother Cao, what did you see from me?"

As he spoke, he opened the tea lid and scooped out some tea leaves with a teaspoon. The pieces were like jade, and the inspiration was like the spring breeze, full of vitality.

There are rumors outside that Baiyun is the reincarnation of the Buddha.

He asked himself, if one day he could break through the late Nascent Soul stage and extend his life span by hundreds of years, would he be able to resist breaking through and watch himself die of old age, just to prevent the swallowing of the body from growing stronger? As for the possibility of causing harm to the world.

"Master Xuanbei has a lot of hopes for Brother Baiyun!" Cao Wei said slowly.

"So it seems that the young monk is no longer good?" Bai Yun asked.

However, in Cao Wei's eyes, if there is a powerful reincarnation in this world, Baiyun is most likely not a disciple of the Buddha. It is more likely that he is the incomplete soul of a highly virtuous monk who entered the devil and was destroyed, or some kind of obsession. .

"Remember the bitter and think of the sweet, isn't it?" Cao Wei shook his head lightly.

The Tun Ming currently residing in his body was almost taken away by Master Xuanbei himself hundreds of years ago and entered into reincarnation with him.

Under the influence of this inspiration, the vegetation in the mountains became more and more verdant, and the flowers bloomed like brocades.

"Greedy, very greedy. Not only is he greedy for food, he is also greedy for sex. Otherwise, why don't you tell me why the monk's name is 'Du Jie'?" Bai Yun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Yun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "This is the tongue produced by Guizong Wuyin Peak. One tael is equivalent to 300 middle-grade spiritual stones."

Between life and death, there is great terror!

Cao Wei asked himself if he could not do this!

Man is an extremely complex creature, and it is possible to build a perfect person who is as pure gold as a model to treat and demand others.

"Qi Mou expected that Brother Baiyun would not be greedy for this little appetite, right?" True Lord Qi Sheng said in a leisurely manner.

"With each breath, the spiritual energy that you and I can refine is already more than these three hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, right?" Cao Wei stepped forward and sat cross-legged, then picked up the tea that the True Lord of Qi Province had poured for him. , and then drank it.

"When a distinguished guest comes, of course there will be good tea!" Zhenjun Qi Province said with a smile.

And when Cao Wei looked at Qi Sheng and Bai Yun, the former couldn't help but sigh: "Fellow Taoist Xuan Hong should keep his eyes."

Seeing this, Bai Yun joked: "You still drink this?"

It seems that although Baiyun's cultivation is still between the early and middle stages of Yuanying, the opponent is already preparing in advance for himself to break through to the late stage of Yuanying and even become a god.

On the other side, True Lord Qi Sheng smiled. As soon as he thought about it, a tea can made of the best wind spirit crystal was in his hand.

Hearing this, Cao Wei closed his eyes, then sniffed lightly, then smiled and cursed: "I saw a cunning and shameless person. Fellow Taoist from Qi Province, this monk lied to me about the six thousand-year-old Haofeng tree harvested here." The spiritual tea that came down is gone now, only these rough tea leaves?"

But when it comes to yourself, you are always looking for excuses for your various behaviors in order to feel at ease. This is nothing more than self-deception!

The choice of Master Xuanbei may be a bit childish and naive, but Cao Wei admires him from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps this is the true nature of an innocent child, unsophisticated and tactless.

"Place your hope on me? Forget it, I can't do it!" Bai Yun shook his head lightly, and then he sighed softly: "This old monk always likes to chatter, and now he walks cleanly, so he doesn't need to talk to me. It’s noisy.”

Hearing this, Cao Wei and Qi Province laughed and said nothing.

Mokan Baiyun's arrangement made Master Xuan sad, but he could tell, but outsiders couldn't.

While he was speaking, Qi Sheng had already brewed a cup of Haofeng Ling tea for Cao Wei and Bai Yun, but the arrogance of the foggyin before had not receded.

"You two, please!" Qi Sheng extended his hand to invite.

Seeing the two cups of tea in front of him, Cao Wei showed a smile on his face and asked, "Fellow Taoist from Qi Province, which cup are you talking about?"

"Fellow Taoist Xuanhong, which cup do you think it is?" Qi Xing asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wei took out a small bowl, poured two cups of tea into it, and drank it all.

After putting down the bowl, Cao Wei said calmly: "Both are tea and water, why should there be any distinction?"

Upon seeing this, Qi Sheng laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xuan Hong is really a wonderful man!"

"Is there really no difference? Brother Cao has already made a conscious move. When he is conscious, he has a different mind, and the five yins are blazing." Bai Yun asked slowly.

As he spoke, he picked up the Haofeng Ling tea and drank it in one gulp.

"If you are intentional, you are acting rashly. If you don't have a self and are not moved by your heart, then why do you and I need to exist?" Cao Wei said slowly.

"There is no reason to act rashly, so life is painful!" Bai Yun sighed softly.

As he spoke, Qi Sheng shook his head slightly: "Brother Baiyun, Qi doesn't agree with what he said! The reason why life is painful, as mentioned in the Guisi Sutra, is that it comes from not being able to get what you want. We want to We have too much, we want too much, and our greed is never-ending, so we are controlled by it. Only when we are troubled can we feel the pain. Only by abandoning all kinds of internal and external constraints can wisdom shine again. Therefore, it lies in habits, nature is similar, and habits are far apart. !”

"Sexually similar?" Cao Wei shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Qi Sheng asked: "Brother Xuan Hong has a different view on the nature of the heart?"

"If they are similar in sex, can they be good or evil?" Cao Wei said slowly.

"Does a newborn baby have the awareness of 'I'?" Qi Sheng asked rhetorically.

"Does the perception of 'I' really exist?" Cao Wei said lightly.

Hearing this, Bai Yun put his palms in his hands and smiled and said: "Self-generation all comes from the day after tomorrow, so brother Qi, do you think this is necessary?" "Why is it not necessary?" Qi Sheng Zhenjun said lightly.

"But this is all falsehood!" Baiyun said slowly.

"Perhaps this is the fate of monks like us to use this illusion to seek the truth." Cao Wei shook his head lightly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng also shook his head and said slowly: "Brother Xuan Hong, why do you need to stick to the monks? All living beings in the world, as long as they can have erroneous thoughts, can use falsehood to cultivate, first be confused and then wake up! "

"It's true that I'm obsessed with it. The mountains are mountains and the water is water. The mountains and rivers are already there. Everything is caused by our thoughts." Cao Wei nodded and said.

"If there are thoughts, there will be good and evil. If there are no thoughts, there will be no good and evil." Bai Yun said slowly.

"Is this the realm your temple is pursuing?" Qi Sheng asked.

"Exactly! It's just that it's extremely difficult to reach such a state." Bai Yun sighed.

"If you don't practice it, there will be no self. Can it be called no thought?" Qi Sheng asked.

Hearing this, both Cao Wei and Bai Yun looked thoughtful.

After a few breaths, the two of them said in unison: "No!"

As soon as these words were said, the three of them laughed, raised their glasses to each other, and drank a cup of tea.

"No, the tea is bland and boring. You must have good wine, otherwise it will lose some of the flavor!" Bai Yun said loudly.

Hearing this, Cao Wei took out a pot of wine, poured a cup for each of the two people present, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, do you think this looks like a monk? What is the difference between tea and wine?"

"It makes no difference to me!" Bai Yun laughed.

After saying this, he drank the drink in one gulp.

Then, Bai Yun asked again: "There is nothing in the cup, so how can we tell the difference?"

Hearing this, Cao Wei filled his bowl again and asked, "What about now?"

As soon as he said this, Bai Yun drank the wine in the glass without hesitation, and asked in a leisurely manner: "Was it wine or tea that I drank just now?"

"What if I still say it's wine?" Cao Wei joked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun said slowly: "Brother Cao, you are in trouble. What I drink is just the contents of the cup. Once it enters my belly, it is myself. And you are still here before I drink."

"Brother Baiyun, ask yourself, is what you are drinking wine or tea?" Qi Sheng asked.

Hearing this, Bai Yun took the jug from Cao Wei's hand, shook it, and then said in a calm tone: "Do you two think this is filled with wine or tea?"

Cao Wei and Qi Sheng looked at each other and smiled in unison: "Wine!"

"If you think it's wine, then I'd rather say it's tea. If from now on, everyone in the world thinks this is tea, wouldn't it be okay? Some are just man-made concepts. They don't exist. How can they come about? Dust? So you two, do you think what you learned the day after tomorrow is true or false, necessary or irrelevant?" Bai Yun shook his head lightly.

"As Brother Baiyun said, there is nothing in nature, and there is no distinction between good and evil in nature. However, what we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, speak with our mouths, and smell with our noses are all inspired by our spiritual thoughts. They all originate from nature, and all things can arise from it! However, we use this as the origin, and then communicate with the outside world all the time. This origin does not change, but it will be imprinted on ourselves with various different thoughts. If we had never tasted When people who have had wine and tea come here and tell them which is wine and which is tea, they have this concept in their minds, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false!" Cao Wei said slowly.

Speaking of this, he thought about it for more than ten breaths, and then continued: "But the words of one family cannot represent the laws of ten thousand families. Whether it is wine or tea, if the other party can communicate more with other people, they will find out. The differences among them will cause doubts and explore the truth and falsehood, so what you learn is necessary. Only the more you learn, the wider the unknown boundary you can touch, and then you can clearly understand what you have learned."

Hearing this, Bai Yun said slowly: "When you are enlightened, you need to make a distinction, so you have a mind of discrimination. If you have a mind of discrimination, you are an ignorant person."

"From nothing to something, from false to true, this is a necessary process." Qi Sheng sighed.

"So I believe that life is the pain of transformation!" Bai Yun said.

"This is my destiny!" Cao Wei nodded lightly.

"Therefore, we must be able to stick to our true nature. In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. When we look at the outside world with a kind heart, we will not fall into delusions and lose ourselves! You two, what do you think?" Qi Sheng said slowly.

Hearing this, Cao Wei asked calmly: "In Brother Qi's opinion, are good and evil relative or complementary?"

"It is neither relative nor complementary. The good that Qi mentioned is the ultimate goodness of clear virtue, which transcends the so-called good and evil. It has nothing to do with the established morals or laws of this world. Only in this way can the mind of distinction be eliminated. , eliminate all distinctions between right and wrong, and gain clarity of mind." Qi Sheng said slowly.

"It's a pity that we still have delusional thoughts in our hearts, and the thoughts are continuous. It is difficult to have no thoughts, no distinction, no good and evil!" Bai Yun said slowly.

"That's why we have to practice, unintentionally, return to the body of the heart, and see the world clearly." Cao Wei said softly.

Speaking of this, he added: "At least each of us can see clearly our own worldly path and understand the path we want to take in the future."

"Let's all encourage each other!" Qi Sheng said sadly.

"It's not easy to be yourself in this mortal world!" Bai Yun used the pot as a cup and poured a bottle of spiritual wine into his mouth.

Seeing this, Cao Wei chuckled and said, "Brother Qi, look at this monk taking advantage of this to covet my wine."

Hearing this, Qi Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Give it back!" Bai Yun threw the empty wine bottle to Cao Wei.

"I'd better drink tea!" Cao Wei took the jug and put it down.

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng poured him a cup of Haofeng Ling tea.

In this way, the three Nascent Soul Lords sat cross-legged on the jade platform at the top of Youpeng Mountain, drinking tea and wine and talking about Taoism, with less calculation and more freedom and ease, just like people among gods and immortals.

And before you know it, the sun sets, hidden under the mountains, and the sky becomes dark.

In the blink of an eye, the Moon Rabbit rises, and the bright moon shines clear.

Suddenly, one night passed and the sun rose in the east, paving the road with golden light.

After all the half a kilogram of Haofeng Ling tea that Qi Sheng Zhenjun took out was drunk, the three of them walked down the jade platform together and walked along the mountain path. The dew that had not yet dried on the leaves of the grass and trees dyed The clothes got wet.

However, Cao Wei and Baiyun did not leave here. Instead, they stayed in Haoran Academy and waited for the Chongwu Domain Nascent Soul Conference, which was held only once in more than two hundred years, more than ten days later.
