Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 253 Viewing Ideas

This was the first time Zizhu had given him such a clear message. Zhang Miao was very surprised. When he asked Zizhu again, Zizhu ignored him.

On this piece of paper, in addition to the original text of the Avalokitesvara Sutra, there is also a 'translated version' of it.This is the popular version of the practice method that the members of the Wenxiang Sect have learned and summarized over the years.

The popular version of the scripture is much easier to understand. This scripture mainly teaches you how to visualize your own body, and then get inspiration from the visualization, master the rules about the body, and then master the rules to become a god.

It's easy to say, but difficult to do.There is a saying that 'Onlookers are clear but those in authority are confused. 'If you want to visualize yourself, you need to see yourself clearly, but who can see yourself clearly?Most people cannot see themselves clearly. Saints have to "examine themselves three times", let alone ordinary people.

In other words, the demon spirits are simpler in mind and can see themselves a little more clearly.This technique is not that difficult to practice.

But the key point is that Zhang Miao is a fake 'transformed fairy'!This technique seemed useless to him.Because humans cannot visualize themselves...it seems that Buddhist monks can.But no matter what, he didn't have any knowledge in this area, and he was afraid that something would go wrong when he visualized it.

Zhang Miao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered what Zizhu said to herself.Could it be... He glanced at Zizhu. At this time, Zizhu had completely transformed into an ordinary Zizhu and ignored him.

If so, does Zizhu mean to let him visualize Zizhu?
Zhang Miao thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.So he tried to visualize Zizhu.

"Avalokitesvara Sutra" contemplates 'self' and understands 'being'.That is to say, it is a scripture for understanding the meaning of one's own existence. According to this understanding, it is indeed an excellent scripture for visualizing one's own transformation into a god.Senior Yarrow's understanding also shows that they are also moving forward along this path.

But Zhang Miao was different. His first thought when he saw this scripture was that there was only the word "freedom".

What is "freedom" is one of the driving forces of his practice - great freedom and freedom.It is a state of being unrestrained, not afraid of anything, and all dharma can pass through. Nothing can restrain oneself, and nothing can limit oneself. The intention comes from the heart, and the heart enjoys freedom.This was the freedom he realized.

This scripture is about letting yourself understand this spirit, or letting yourself practice this.

But in this life, who can reach this ultimate state?Even the cultivators who transform themselves into gods are limited by the rules, and even the strongest cultivators are dormant under the laws of heaven.Even if Zhang Miao wants to fly, he must use strength to fly. Now that he has the strength, how can you achieve true freedom?

Therefore, this scripture uses the word "view".Observe freedom and know that pure freedom is unattainable.But I yearn for it, I wait and see it, I look forward to it. I can't reach it physically, but I want to reach it in spirit.

This is Zhang Miao's understanding of this scripture, which is completely contrary to the understanding of Senior Yarrow and others. These are two completely different paths.

He shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and once again understood the thoughts of Senior Yarrow and the others.When he thought about it, his thoughts were just thoughts.However, when he closed his eyes and visualized Zizhu, his mind could not settle down. The image of Zizhu loomed in his mind, but he could not visualize it.

After a few times, he sighed and shook his head. This scripture was indeed not that easy to practice.

He opened his eyes and saw the purple bamboo suddenly inserted back into the basin, and then pretended to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened.Zhang Miao was amused by his deceptive behavior. He said with a smile: "When you are happy, you leave the potted plant and wander around. When you are unhappy, you just act like a potted plant. Why are you such a thief!"

Zizhu ignored him.

At night, it is the time for Zhang Miao to sleep and recover.Tonight he was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He seemed to be suffering from insomnia.This was difficult for a monk who needed sleep to recuperate his body.

Angry, he turned over and sat up.He looked out the window, the faint moonlight shone in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest swayed shadowily, making a low rustling sound.

"This is so like a sea of ​​bamboo..." Zhang Miao didn't know whether it was sentimentality caused by physical weakness or because he was really moved by the scene, but Zhang Miao suddenly thought of the distant bamboo sea in the south.More than a hundred years later, the small village where he was born is still as stable and peaceful as before. His bloodline brothers and sisters are also spreading out and living in various villages in the Bamboo Sea. Their family does not have any spiritual bloodline. From then on, in There are no cultivation seeds.

Even though there are first-class talents like Zhang Miao in their family, their family is still ignored by everyone and does not make any waves.If a family wants to rise, it cannot be done by just one person. It requires the efforts of several generations. The foundation of spiritual practice is ultimately people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but be stunned.

'Is the foundation of spiritual practice still human after all...' Zhang Miao pondered this idea carefully. If it were normal, his thoughts would just pass by in a flash. A person can have countless thoughts in his life, and some of them are very amazing. , that is also a thought, and it cannot be taken seriously by people.People always prefer to focus on what is in front of them, on what is within their reach.

But today, this idea kept swirling in Zhang Miao's mind.He suddenly understood something. He looked at Zizhu by the window and said lightly: "I am not Zizhu. Purely visualizing you is the opposite. I should not just visualize you."

Yes, at this moment he understood something, why he couldn't even take the first step of contemplating thoughts, because he was not Zizhu who became a spirit, he was still a human being, and if he wanted to practice this technique, he still had to meditate. Missing people!

But it is not just about visualizing people, but Zizhu is visualizing with people.He originally traveled through time with Zizhu, and his soul has been integrated with Zizhu.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.He quickly compared his eyes and began to visualize himself and Zizhu.

This time, it turned out to be unexpectedly smooth. In Zhang Miao's visualization, the image of him sitting cross-legged and holding Zizhu in his arms gradually appeared in his mind.

While Zhang Miao was practicing, the strange wind in Shougu Mountain blew again.The howling strange wind rose from the foot of the mountain and blew towards the top of the mountain inch by inch.As usual, people in the mountains hid in their houses when they saw the strange wind blowing.

When a strange wind blew outside Zhang Miao's wooden house, this time, the bamboo forest outside his house suddenly trembled and made a violent rustling sound.This purple bamboo forest formed a barrier, surrounding the entire wooden house, preventing Zhang Miao inside from any harassment.

But the strange wind would not back down because of this. It began to increase its intensity and began to blow violently towards the purple bamboo. The purple bamboo on the periphery was quickly blown away from its purple color and turned into pale white bamboos. The bamboos turned into white bamboos. It will disappear like ashes, but then, new purple bamboos will quickly emerge from the ground. They first grow from tiny bamboo shoots, and then quickly grow into new purple bamboos.If someone observes with their spiritual mind at this time, they can see a chaotic air mass eating the purple bamboo, while the purple bamboo keeps growing, as if it is using this stupid method to resist the eating of the air mass.

However, even the spiritual mind could not see that when the air ball was eating Zizhu, a lot of experience was lost from the air ball and was absorbed by Zizhu.Every time you absorb experience, the bamboo joints of the purple bamboo that represent the rules of the earth will become brighter.But the other section of purple bamboo lit up faster, and now it has reached two-thirds of the progress.

The strange wind keeps blowing, and the purple bamboo keeps growing, as if it is using its vitality to kill the air masses.In fact, this is indeed using life to consume the air mass. This air mass is transformed by the resentful spirit of the mountain god guarding Gushan. Every time the wind blows, it is this air mass that is formed with the resentment that persists.Every time a strange wind blows, it consumes the vitality of the plants on the mountain.Vitality can transform the power of resentment.If the strange wind blows for thousands of years, the resentment may be wiped away.

In the past, Zizhu lived in Zhang Miao's body and consumed Zhang Miao's life force, which made Zhang Miao's body extremely weak.But now, Zizhu jumped out of Zhang Miao's body, and he is now relying on the power of Shou Gushan to consume the mountain god's resentment.

After absorbing the rules of the earth, Zizhu knows how to use the rules of the earth better than Zhang Miao, and he knows better than Zhang Miao how to use the power of Shou Gu Mountain. He even inherited part of the authority of the mountain god and can mobilize the power of Shou Gu Mountain.

Zhang Miao, who is practicing, has no idea what is happening outside. He is now hiding in a safe house, and his Zizhu is fighting to the death with the enemy outside the safe house.

The tenacious fragments of resentment destroyed many purple bamboos, but the ever-growing purple bamboos kept him out.Zizhu was still absorbing his experience, and slowly, the ball of air weakened.When he realized something was wrong and wanted to run away, Zizhu had already entangled him, tightly entangled him, and was eventually 'swallowed' by Zizhu bit by bit.

After absorbing this mountain spirit, Zizhu became much stronger.The strange wind also stopped at this time, and Shougu Mountain returned to calm.

As for Zhang Miao, he had already visualized an outline, and then finally felt a little tired, and then fell asleep and slept until dawn.

At dawn the next day, before Zhang Miao woke up, she heard loud shouts from outside: "Master! Master, please help! We are lost!"

For a while, Zhang Miao was awakened by the yelling. He walked to the window and took a look, only to find that huge changes had taken place outside the window.The purple bamboo, which was originally one foot tall and as thick as an egg, grew up overnight.It became two feet tall and as thick as a fist, and actually had a rudimentary form that could block out the sky and the sun.

He couldn't help being surprised. Needless to say, Zizhu must have done it, but what kind of tonic did he take to grow so tall overnight?
At this time, the cries of the three goblins were already faintly crying: "Master! Master, where are you? We are trapped! We are so scared!"

Zhang Miao was quite speechless when she heard this. How could these three stupid, thick goblins be afraid of getting lost?He clapped his hands, and the densely packed purple bamboo suddenly gave way, and three sturdy goblins hugging each other appeared in front of Zhang Miao.

The three goblins who had been scared into a ball suddenly saw the bamboo forest parting, and then Zhang Miao was standing at the end of the road. They immediately put away their fear and tears and ran towards Zhang Miao, shouting as they ran: "Master~~!"

This battle looks like a flower running towards the emperor.Zhang Miao was startled and quickly moved out of the way, allowing the three goblins to rush out of the bamboo forest.

After rushing out of the bamboo forest, the three goblins cried for joy again. They sobbed and said: "Master, this is terrible. When we came in the morning, we saw that your forest has grown taller and more lush. We...we just started I didn’t think much and just walked in.”

"Unexpectedly, the road became narrower and narrower as we walked, and eventually there was no road at all. The sky also became darker and darker as we walked until it was all so black that it was impossible to tell which was right and which was wrong."

"We don't know how long we've been walking. It's so quiet and scary around here that we can't help it!"

The three thick goblins began to cry, leaving Zhang Miao extremely speechless.However, he glanced at the depths of the bamboo forest. It was surrounded by dark purple bamboos, and the bamboos were growing taller. It was indeed a bit dark and terrifying...

But he still laughed and scolded: "Stop crying! Why are three grown men crying? You won't be afraid if you walk a few more times in the future. Could it be that this bamboo forest will eat you!"

The three goblins cried for a while and were scolded by Zhang Miao. Now that I think about it, they feel that they are quite stupid. Yes, this bamboo forest will not eat themselves... It will not eat itself... right?

The three goblins looked into the depths of the bamboo forest with lingering fear, driving this terrible thought away from their minds.

After shivering for a while, with Zhang Miao by their side and the sun shining, the gloom in the hearts of the three goblins dissipated a lot, and then the badger demon said: "I came to see the master today, which made the master laugh, but the master is really energetic today. good."

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to summon a water mirror and took a look. Sure enough, his complexion was much better today. Feeling it carefully, it seemed that his body was also fuller. He thought to himself: "Is this view so powerful? The body’s shortcomings have been fully compensated.”

He didn't say anything, and the wild wolf demon said flatteringly: "I got some big fish for the master today, and I will stew a fish soup for him later to replenish his meal."

Zhang Miao looked at them strangely and said, "Usually you go up the mountain to hunt and don't know how to fish in the water. Why did you go fishing today?" As soon as he said this, the three goblins' eyes dodged, and the atmosphere Somewhat embarrassing.

Zhang Miao understood at a glance that the three of them were bullied again.

Zhang Miao shook his head and said, "You three, are you being bullied again?"

The three fairies dared not say a word.Zhang Miao waved his hand, and a dozen white porcelain soldiers emerged from the ground and said: "Take these white porcelain soldiers with you and get the place back to me. The more you dare not resist this kind of bullying, they will The more unbridled you are. You go with the white porcelain soldiers and give them a good beating. If one beating doesn't work, then beat them again. Beat them until they are afraid, and you will win."

The three goblins were still afraid, but Zhang Miao's face darkened and he cursed: "Hurry up! Don't make me angry!"

The three goblins nodded and quickly led a dozen white porcelain soldiers out.
