The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 79
Back in the small courtyard in Xianyang, Ji Ran looked at the jujube trees in the courtyard and couldn't help but think of the cute and sensible child beside her who always said: "Although I am not smart and I can't understand, but I know how to listen." That’s right sir.”

Because twenty days ago, Ji Ran met another little girl, Shi Lan, in Songhai.

Shi Lan was actually holding a pair of black and white blades. After seeing Ji Ran, he knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Ran, and then said to Ji Ran: "My father said that you must bow first when you see your husband. This is a rule and cannot be broken."

When Ji Ran saw the black and white double blades behind Shi Lan, he had already guessed it, but he still asked: "Is your father Mo Mo?"

Shi Lan nodded and said: "Abba said that as long as he sees the black and white double blades, he will understand everything, and he also asked Yu Ji to follow him."

Ji Ran asked again: "Then will you follow me?"

Shi Lan shook her head and said: "Yu Ji met someone she liked and wanted to protect him."

Ji Ran took out a piece of hibiscus leaf from her arms and handed it to Shi Lan and said: "The hibiscus leaf, which is rich in special effects, only appears once every 60 years. I will give this piece to you."

Shi Lan took the hibiscus leaves and carefully kicked them into her arms, and then said to Ji Ran: "There were many in the clan at first, but unfortunately they were all taken away later."

Ji Ran looked at Shi Lan and asked, "How did your father die? Was it the Yin Yang family or the Qin army that killed the Yu clan?"

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him seemed to know the truth, so he replied: "It was the Yin Yang family and the Great Qin Luo Sheng who attacked the Yu clan, and my father saw the black and white double blades in the snare, so he fought with the person holding the blades. In the end, although he succeeded in killing the opponent, he was also seriously injured."

"In the end, he was slapped by a woman with a red palm from the Yin Yang family, and my father passed away a few days later."

Ji Ran narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to hide the murderous intent in her eyes, but the icy cold breath made Shi Lan beside her shudder. Fortunately, there was a hibiscus leaf protecting her, and a warm current soon spread through her whole body.

From Shi Lan's words, Ji Ran knew that Mo Mo should have been struck by the Six Souls Fear Curse and forgotten, and that the Yin Yang family should have forgotten it for the fusang tree.I don't know why Luo Wang joined. Donghuang Taiyi may be a strong enemy that he will have to face in the future.

Ji Ran, who was stunned for a while, was still weighing in his mind: "If I want to avenge Mo Mo, I can't beat the current Donghuang Taiyi. But what if I use a mirage to go to India from the sea? Can I destroy the Yin and Yang family for hundreds of years? The plan for the Gate of the Three Realms."

"But it is difficult to compete with the sea with human power. Now I am not able to navigate the sea, and I have no sailing experience. It seems that the only way is to take the land route. Let's take a look at what this Yellowstone Book is!"

After Ji Ran opened the box, she knew that there should be two books in the box, but now only one was left.But Ji Ran didn't care. He took it out and took a look and found that the book clearly read: "Qi Men Dun Jia"

"No wonder later generations said that Liuhou Zhang Liang changed Qimen Dunjia into nine rounds of Yin Dunjia and nine rounds of Yang Dunjia, a total of 18 rounds. It turned out that Zhang Liang got Qimen Dunjia from here. I think another volume left by Zhang Liang is Su Book."

"I'm afraid he thinks that I have already learned the astrological laws similar to Qi Men Dun Jia, so this thing is of little help to me, and Su Shu is a wonderful book for governing the country. He is afraid of further strengthening the power of the Qin Dynasty, so he keeps it privately. ”

Just when Ji Ran was flipping through Qi Men Dun Jia and thinking, he saw the last part of Qi Men Dun Jia, which actually said: "Feng Hou Chapter"

Just when Ji Ran was stunned, another person appeared in the courtyard, it was Xiaomeng.Xiaomeng looked at Ji Ran who had entered but did not notice him and asked curiously: "Brother, what are you looking at? You are so focused."

Ji Ran sighed:
"The divine dragon comes out of Luoshui with a negative picture, and the books on Caifeng Street are in the blue clouds."

"Because of the fate of the wind, it was written down, and the Dunjia Qimen began from then on."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomeng became interested and asked, "Is this Hetu Luoshu?"

Ji Ran shook his head and said: "This Qimen Dunjia is calculated based on the Hetu Luoshu. The whole book has a total of 320 rounds. After the summary by Feng Hou, Xuanyuan Huangdi's right-hand man, it finally formed a thousand and eighty rounds. "

Xiaomeng heard this and asked: "With so many rounds reduced, won't it affect the effect?"

Ji Ran didn't answer because he didn't know clearly. He asked Xiaomeng, "Do you want to learn?"

Xiaomeng shook his head and said: "This is a small skill. Senior brother, don't delay the great path because of a small loss."

Ji Ran nodded and said: "Since you don't want to learn, you can't let this book be discontinued. After I make a copy, you can take it back to the Taoist library. It exists at the highest level. No one but the head can read it."

Xiaomeng neither agreed nor objected, but said, "Senior brother, are you going to travel far away?"

Ji Ran asked: "How do you know?"

Xiaomeng said: "It's hard to explain that disciple of yours, but I don't think he is a kind person, and there is that young man with yin and yang eyes."

Ji Ran sighed and said: "I have too much influence in the Qin State. If I don't leave, I will only become a tool used by interested people to fight against the Emperor of Qin. It's better to leave. Didn't the Patriarch also ride an ox out of Hangu Pass? I am also prepared to do so." Journey west to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.”

Ji Ran said to Xiaomeng again: "I have something to ask of my junior sister, the girl holding black and white double blades that you saw in Songhai a few days ago."

Hearing this, Xiaomeng interrupted: "Why does senior brother like that kind of weak and cute women?"

Ji Ran did not answer, but continued: "She is the daughter of my former disciple Mo Mo. Mo Mo died in the hands of the Yin Yang family's Chief Siming. Ying Zheng should not know about this. After all, they have a good relationship. I Now that we are about to travel far away, I am no match for Donghuang Taiyi."

"So I hope that Junior Sister can save that girl's life, and wait until I come back to settle the matter with the Yin Yang Family and Luo Wang."

Xiaomeng said: "I will protect her within my ability, but senior brother, you must agree to three conditions."

Ji Ran asked: "What are the conditions?"

Xiaomeng said: "First, before leaving, Senior Brother, you must give me a sermon."

"Second, senior brother must give me a sermon when he comes back."

"Third, I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell my brother when I think about it."

Hearing the third condition, Ji Ran was speechless. This routine seemed familiar, but Ji Ran said: "First, second, I promise you, and third, I will teach you what I have learned throughout my life, and also Even if someone takes up my mantle, it will give you something to do for a while in the future."

"How do you feel, Junior Sister?"

Xiaomeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll just follow my senior brother's advice."

Seven days later, the three people carrying the backpacks walked out of the west gate of Xianyang City and headed towards Loulan.The fruit general who escorted the three of them happened to be one of the people who had experienced the Loulan Soldier Demon God incident.

Ji Ran is also more interested in Pi Xiu. After all, it is said that Pi Xiu is the son of the ancestral dragon. If he can cultivate Pi Xiu through visualization and refine the multicolored stones sealed in the three-legged Golden Crow, then he can completely solve his own problems.

The visualization diagram Ji Ran practices now is a dynamic star visualization idea created by her own imagination. The golden crow is the sun, the bronze mirror is the moon, and the astrological law is the cornerstone to observe the stars in the sky.When can you create a connection with Zhou Tianxingdou, when will your cultivation be considered successful?

The purple-colored Ziwei Star where the Lord of the Stars resides will be used to absorb and assimilate the five-color stones and the location of the demon souls in the stones in the future.Ji Ran also gave 365 visualization pictures to Xiaomeng, because a different visualization picture every day can create a dynamic.

The most intolerable thing for Hu Hai during the journey to the west was not the food, the food, or Ji Ran's disregard for him, but the fact that he could not ride a horse or a car and could only walk.

Hu Hai's feet had blisters two days after leaving Xianyang, and many places were now bloody, but Ji Ran remained indifferent.

In the end, Hu Hai's heart surged with malice. When he was in the desert, he pierced all the water bags at night and even attacked and killed Ji Ran.It's a pity that all this is in Ji Ran's eyes. Now Ji Ran's mental power is so strong that it can cover 30 meters around herself at any time.

Ji Ran looked at Hu Hai and asked, "Why?"

Hu Hai said coldly: "Because you want me to die, so I will let you die."

Ji Ran asked: "How could I let you die?"

Hu Hai said: "The sole of my foot is injured. Not only do you not heal my injury, but you still walk hundreds of miles every day. If this continues, my foot will become useless. In the vast desert, if a person's foot cannot be used, the whole person will also be disabled." Waiting to die."

Ji Ran nodded and pointed at Yan Dan and said: "His feet are also broken, and I ignored him. Why can he persist but you can't?"

After saying that, Ji Ran didn't bother to look at Hu Hai anymore and found a place covered by the wind to rest.

General Fruit slowly told Hu Hai the rules of survival in the desert and a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild.

When Ji Ran disappeared for half a day and then came back, everyone found the water bag in Ji Ran's hand, and then they all felt relieved and continued on their way.Three months later, Ji Ran and his party finally arrived in Loulan.

However, everyone was not in a good condition at this time, with chapped lips, flaky face and neck. Hu Hai, who was once feminine and handsome, even looked like a roast chicken. Even the Fruit General had lost a lot of weight.

"Dear warriors of Great Qin, welcome to Loulan." The high priest of Loulan greeted everyone cordially after seeing everyone.

In the following days, everyone practiced meditation in Loulan for half a year, and Ji Ran also began to preach in Loulan his Zen method of combining hundreds of schools of thought in this life.Ji Ran believes that there is no direct relationship between Zen and Buddha. All living beings can only practice Zen, but cannot practice Buddhism, because Buddha is everywhere and nowhere.

The Zen mind is constant, the Zen intention is constant, the Zen thoughts are constant, and the Zen aspirations are constant.The Four Constant Principles are the Four Right Concentrations of Vajra that Ji Ran himself comprehended.It is far different from the records in Buddhist classics, but it has its own system and unique insights.

After finally seeing Ji Ran's profound knowledge and combat prowess, the High Priest Loulan summoned a stone ball made of Pixiu and handed it to Ji Ran.

After observing and even using mental power to investigate for a month, Ji Ran came to a conclusion: "This is a medium forged with star stones and special materials. Through this medium, the dragon soul can descend into it and possess certain abilities."

Therefore, Xiaoman in the original work only used the tears of the goddess to descend part of his spiritual thoughts, while Pixiu used part of the power of the dragon soul to descend through the medium, so that he can switch between the three states according to the amount of descending energy.

Ji Ran, who was slightly disappointed, did not stay in Loulan any longer. General Fruit also said goodbye to the three of them and escorted the caravan sent by Loulan to Xianyang.

After more than half a year of hard work, Ji Ran and the others arrived at Qiuci, Shule, Dayuan, and finally Dayuezhi.This is also the second stop on the westward journey.Queen Dayuezhi and the five major Xihous received everyone excitedly.

However, Marquis Guishan had his own ideas, so he encouraged Marquis Xiumi at the banquet and sent Xiumi's most powerful warrior to challenge Ji Ran.When Ji Ran looked through Qiu Shui's spiritual eyes, he found that there was nothing special about it. He should be born with divine power and strong Qi and blood, similar to the ninth level of Qi training.

So Ji Ran sent Qiu Di to fight. Although Yan Dan today is not as good as the half-step master in the original work, he is still a first-rate master.After dozens of rounds, a sword stabbed the Humi warrior.

Marquis Xiumi was furious because of this and wanted to kill Yan Dan to avenge his warriors.Finally, with the mediation of Guishang Hou, the matter was finally settled.

In the following months, the Marquis of Guishang entertained Ji Ran and his entourage with a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days.And his purpose was to hope that Da Qin could trade with Guishang.It turns out that the ambitious Marquis of Guishang had already sent people to Kyushu to see the prosperity of the Central Plains.

He hopes that through trade with the Central Plains, he can slowly learn the technology of the Central Plains and eventually strengthen his country.

Ji Ran is not afraid that Guishang will become stronger and threaten Great Qin, because Great Qin will only be more powerful than Kushan. Maybe by the time she comes back from the Mauryan Dynasty, the rail cars will have reached Kushan.

The three people who stayed in Guishang for half a year planned to continue their journey westward, but the Marquis of Kushan, who had seen the magic of the three people, did not want them to leave, and even knelt down to salute the three people in private.It's a pity that the most famous one still failed to impress Ji Ran.

Seeing that he could not retain the people through effective methods, the Marquis of Guishang actually sent troops to besiege the three people.It was a pity that after Ji Ran killed several generals of the army in a few breaths, no matter how reluctant the Marquis of Guishang was, he had no choice but to let him go.

Such people actually stayed in Guishang for almost a year.

After leaving Kushan, everyone passed by Tamvinshira and finally saw the legendary Indus River. With the help of local people, they found the Ganges River.

Ji Ran looked at the Ganges River in front of her and said to herself: "The world is as endless as the sand of the Ganges River. I wonder how many world scenery I can see on this journey to the heavens?"

Finally, after several months of trekking, the group arrived at Rajgir, the capital of Magadha.There, led by a local guide, Ji Ran finally saw the legendary "Da Leiyin Temple", which is the real Nalanduo Temple.

In Nalanda Temple Jiran met the legendary figure, Maha Kasyapa.The so-called Nianhuayixiao is talking about this person. "The World-Honored One was holding flowers in front of the crowd at the Lingshan meeting. Everyone was silent at that time, except for the Venerable Kassapa with a broken face and a smile."

Ji Ran learned to hold flowers with her fingers in her previous life, which comes from this allusion.Because Ji Ran had learned a lot of Sanskrit in his previous life, he could barely communicate with Kasyapa and explained his intention.Kassapa suggested that everyone first study Sanskrit and the Dharma here in Nalanda Temple.

After Ji Ran has a certain understanding and accumulation, Kasyapa will discuss the Dharma with Ji Ran.

Ji Ran also felt that what Mahakasyapa said was reasonable. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you understand the true nature.With the arrogance of Kyushu and the arrogance of the future people, you will only miss the real treasure.

So the three of them studied together at Nalanda Temple for a year.

It is now 206 BC, four years have passed since Ji Ran and his party left Xianyang.And Ji Ran is also 59 years old.

On this day, Mahakasyapa arranged a grand debate for Ji Ran, and Ji Ran's opponent was surprisingly also a famous figure, Ananda.

At this time, Nagarjuna had not yet been born, and the concept of Mahayana Buddhism had not been proposed.So while debating scriptures with Ananda, Ji Ran gradually seduced Anan step by step, acknowledged, confirmed, and finally agreed with her own concept of Mahayana Buddhism.

It is also because of his novelty and unusualness that Ji Ran's reputation at Nalanda Temple is polarized. Some people think that he is a figure no less than Buddha and can innovate Buddhism.Some people also believed that he had blasphemed the teachings of Buddha and needed to be punished.

Mahakasyapa obviously agreed with Ji Ran, so one month after the debate, Mahakasyapa took Ji Ran and Ananda to a legendary place.

The legendary place where Buddha attained enlightenment is the Sala Shuangshu Garden.The two bodhi trees planted in the garden are exactly the same.

Mahakasyapa invited Ji Ran to enlightenment under the tree, hoping that Ji Ran could understand more and more detailed knowledge and content about Mahayana Buddhism.Kasyapa even revealed to Ji Ran: "If you are destined, you might be able to meet my master and another mysterious wise man from the East."

Jiran Maha Kassapa and Ananda were all sitting cross-legged under the double Bodhi trees.Yan Dan and Hu Hai also found a suitable place to organize and think about what they had learned.

The fundamental Buddhist teachings that Ji Ran understood were based on Que Zhou's "Bodhicitta Awakening". By using the heart to seal the mind, one can see the light and see the Tathagata.The road to enlightenment is divided into the three enlightenments of Bodhi, the four righteousnesses of Vajra and the five realms of Maha.

After being baptized by Buddhism in the previous life, I have realized the three enlightenments of Bodhi, which are: Enlightenment of emptiness. Keep yourself in an emptiness state of mind at all times. This will make it easier to communicate with heaven and earth and realize all living beings.There will be no pride or prejudice because of one's own past.

Enlightenment is the ability to enhance one's own ability through unremitting learning and understanding. Whether there is an ability can only be known by doing it. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Enlightenment is a dynamic process. The so-called brushing away frequently and not causing dust means constant self-reflection and introspection.In this way, you can discover your own problems and understand more truths.

The three enlightenments of Bodhi are the foundation for progress, just like human feet.

And the four righteousnesses of Vajra are exactly the four eternities.

The so-called four eternities are that the Zen mind is constant and never changes, the Zen intention is constant and never changes, the Zen thoughts are constant and never changes, and the Zen wish is constant and never changes.

The Zen mind is like the human brain, the driving force behind all command.

Zen is like human consciousness and the pattern of all actions.

Zen thoughts are like human thoughts and the reason for all actions.

Zen wishes, like human expectations, are the final results of all actions.

These are called the Four Righteousnesses of Vajra and the Four Eternal Zens.
