Chapter 280 Talking about Yin and Yang in Front of Saints(1/2)
The boy in the palace had an epiphany and self-enlightenment in front of the saint.
The kettle on the stove made a whining sound. Yun Tianhong sighed softly, picked up the kettle, poured it into the purple sand, and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
Yun Ziyi held her chin up and stared blankly at the young man who was in the process of enlightenment, wondering where did you come from as a monster?
On Xuefeng Mountain, in the wooden house in front of Han Lake.
The old monk looked at Monk Buli who was sitting facing Chi and said with a smile: "Chi'er, I'm still worried about you getting rid of your murderous aura. The young man on Meishan Mountain is already enlightening on the power of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth."
Buli, who was sitting in a daze, was startled. He looked at the old monk and asked blankly: "Master, what is the power of yin and yang between heaven and earth?"
The old monk thought for a while, looked at him and said: "One yin and one yang are called Tao. All things are born from Tao, and they all have different attributes of yin and yang. Just as you see the sun and the moon, water and fire, heaven and earth...
..."
Buli nodded as if understanding, and then asked: "What does Yin and Yang have to do with our brothers' practice?"
The old monk was stunned, looked at him and sighed.
He said leisurely: "The origin of life comes from innate Qi, which is divided into Yin and Yang. That is, the heart is the nature and the kidneys are the life. The heart is Li and belongs to Yang, and the kidneys are Yin."
"Yin and yang generate three, that is, the three combinations of essence, qi, and spirit. If it goes forward, it will give birth to human beings... If it goes backward and returns to the origin, it will form a pill for longevity."
"Isn't he a human being? We still have to go back and think about where he came from?" Monk Buli was a little confused.
"Idiot, you haven't reached this level yet."
The old monk shook his head and said softly: "Why do I want you to get rid of the murderous intention in your life, and then wait for one day to practice to the realm of mortal transformation?"
"Why? Master, please help me clarify my doubts." Monk Buli shook his head.
The old monk was a little angry, so he picked up the wooden stick beside him and hit him hard on the head.
Shouted: "You idiot!"
"After yin and yang is Tao. If you don't enter Tao, how can you understand the laws of heaven and earth? If you don't understand the laws of heaven and earth, you will never be able to transcend the ordinary and become a saint throughout your life..."
The old monk sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that at this age, he would already try to understand the power of yin and yang. In less than a hundred years, he would be able to enter a realm that many people cannot touch in their entire lives..."
Monk Buli burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He touched his painful bald head and said with a smile: "He will be able to save me when he attains the Tao. Let him enter first, so my disciples are not in a hurry."
In the opinion of Monk Buli, whenever Li Xiuyuan understands the principle of peace, he can enlighten himself.
Just like when he achieved enlightenment and breakthrough in Niujiao Town overnight, he was full of confidence in this brother.
The old Taoist priest looked at his appearance and wanted to hate him but couldn't. After all, this was his disciple. He was very happy to have reached such a height.
It seems that it is a correct decision to hand over Fu Li to Li Xiuyuan and bring him into the world.
Thinking of this, he looked at Buli and said with a smile: "He wants to come to see me. You can go to Meishan in two days..."
Buli burst out laughing when he heard this: "That's more or less the same. I thought he wouldn't want any brothers after meeting the female saint of Meishan."
...
In the next few days, Li Xiuyuan only did two things.
I got up in the morning and practiced swordplay for an hour in the wind and snow, and then copied Buddhist scriptures. In the afternoon, I went to the main hall to drink tea with Yun Tianhong for an hour, and asked him about some legends about the Xuanwu Continent.
Then he returned to the wooden house and continued copying scriptures.
He wanted to copy three volumes of scripture before going to Xuefeng Mountain.
The pine ink in the inkstone emits a faint floral fragrance, and together with the scriptures spread on the table, it exudes a faint cold fragrance.
It reminded him of the poem he wrote for Tantai Mingyue using peach blossom juice in Lantian Town.
This was also the time when he had an idea and used peach blossom juice mixed with pine ink for the first time in his life.
It can be said to correspond to the artistic conception of the cold fragrance filling the sleeves on the bright moon night in Tantai.
After several days of work, I finally finished copying the three volumes of scripture before Monk Buli came to Meishan.
Stepping into the morning mist of Meishan Mountain, Li Xiuyuan handed the scripture wrapped in white cloth to Yun Ziyi, and followed the monk Buli as he drifted down the mountain.
Before Yun Ziyi could recover, Li Xiuyuan's voice came from afar: "Tell the female saint to send a message to the old monk if you have something to say..."
Yun Ziyi looked at Liang's back and jumped up, shouting: "Little thief, you don't want to take me with you when you go to play!"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "You can follow me, you are more familiar with the roads here than me..."
Bu Li waved to Yun Ziyi from a distance and said, "Junior sister, please don't cause trouble. Master has business with him."
...
Facing the last snowstorm in winter, Monk Buli took Li Xiuyuan to visit many places, almost all the places he could go on Xuefeng Mountain.
Finally, she looked at him and laughed and said: "You're welcome, this will be your home from now on. You can come to the master for discussion at any time."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head. How could it be that a saint with a heart, a saint, and a heavenly mind can do whatever he wants?
Unless he becomes the disciple of the old monk like Buli.
Then this went against his wishes. Right now, he didn't want to be attached to any holy land or sect.
Looking at the peaks of Xuefeng Mountain hidden in the snow and mist, they are completely different scenery from Meishan Mountain.
If Meishan is compared to a gentle woman, Xuefengshan is a rough man.
Meishan gave him a feeling of beauty and tranquility, while Xuefeng Mountain had green mountains and a precipitous feeling.
It seems that when the old monk chose this place to meditate, he really wanted to stay away from the world and become a great monk.
Standing on the edge of the cold lake, the world seemed unusually quiet. The old monk had not returned from his trip.
Li Xiuyuan felt a little inexplicably nervous, which was completely different from how relaxed he was on Meishan Mountain.
Probably because he had met Yun Tianhong several times before, even in dreams.
And when he thought about having to meet the Holy Spirit alone today, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and uneasy.
Monk Fuli has always regarded Li Xiuyuan as a brother, so naturally he will not treat him as an outsider.
Pointing to the cold lake in front of him, he said: "In the autumn before it freezes, the master will sit here and fish. The fish are not afraid of him. They will even jump out to play when it freezes..."
Looking at the cold lake shrouded in snow and fog, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said, "That only means that your master does not have murderous intent, and even the fish here are not afraid of him."
The previous monk Buli was never quite sure what Master Mingyue meant.
Now that I heard Li Xiuyuan talking about murderous intent again, I thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he chuckled and said, "I didn't understand why the master never caught any fish. It seemed like he squatted here from time to time and fed the fish."
Li Xiuyuan said: "The problem is that the holy monk is not sitting here for fishing. Maybe this is an attitude of practice?"
Buli looked at him and said, "I want to see the master fishing and see if the fish are afraid of you?"
"Is this necessary? Maybe I'm not as good as you if I'm quiet?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the lake in front of him, imagining the old monk sitting alone in the cold lake fishing.
If I were sitting here, would I be fishing or fishing for myself?
Thinking about the old monk living alone in the cold lake without fishing, the fish here must like him very much, right?
And what about me? Can I be like the old monk?
Speaking of compassion, if you look down and think about it, he is not even one ten thousandth as good as the old monk...
Monk Buli looked at his silent expression and couldn't help but said: "Master asked me to join the world with you. Do you plan to take me to Tianyun Mountain? Or Loulan City?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this, frowned and remained silent.
In his opinion, Tianyun Mountain and Loulan are not the best places for monk Buli to practice. With Monk Buli's temperament, his murderous intention will only become more and more serious.
"It's not urgent. We'll talk about it when we leave Meishan."
Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I am in trouble all over myself. If you stay by my side, your murderous intent will only get worse."
Monk Buli was stunned, patted his shoulder and said: "Master has entrusted my future cultivation to you. You are not even afraid of killer bandits, are you still afraid of me?"
"You don't have to worry about having too many debts, you don't have to worry about having too many lice. Do you think I am you?"
Standing on the terrace of the old monk, Li Xiuyuan stared blankly at the cold lake in front of him, but what he was thinking about was the yin and yang power of heaven and earth that he and Yun Tianhong discussed that day.
There are yin and yang in the sky and earth, day and night in the world, spring, summer, autumn and winter in the four seasons, the water and fire on the sword of reincarnation...
Lost in thought, he looked at the cold lake that had frozen into a large piece of ice in front of him.
I couldn't help but say: "If there were no endless life between heaven and earth, would this huge lake burn dry like the kettle on the stove?"
Monk Buli was confused when he heard this. How could he know what Li Xiuyuan was thinking about at the moment?
When he was about to reply, the old monk's voice rang out in the wind: "Yes, if there were not the endless cycle of yin and yang between heaven and earth, this place would have become that boiling kettle."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at the old monk who was coming in front of Xu Bu, quickly clasped his hands and saluted: "This junior has doubts in his heart and is puzzled, so he has to come here to disturb the senior monk's purification."
"Let's talk after we enter the room." The old monk seemed to be walking slowly, but in an instant he stood in front of the two people, and then opened the ajar door.
...
The water is snow water from Xuefeng Mountain, and the tea is naturally the spiritual tea from Meishan Mountain.
To be continued...
