"You are here." Miss Zhao, who was painting, put down her pen, looked back at Ji Liao, and smiled.

Ji Liao saw that her clear eyes had a hint of tiredness. It seemed that completing this painting would be a great test for her. Ji Liao nodded and said, "The Master of the Dharma asked me to come. What's the point of this painting?"

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Miss Zhao's mouth and said, "My master made the painting, but he only completed half of it back then, and the Master of the Dharma asked me to make up for the remaining half."

Ji Liao pointed to the contents of the painting and said, "The flames have ice, and the poplar flowers bloom in autumn. These are things that will not appear under normal circumstances. So the unfinished part should be similar?"

Miss Zhao smiled and said, "No, so I'm going to draw a mud cow roaring on the water, and a Trojan neighing in the wind."

Ji Liao nodded and said, "This is also a phenomenon that goes against common sense. It is very interesting, but it should not be difficult for you to draw it."

Miss Zhao said leisurely: "I want to draw it, and it will be completed in a short time, but I still feel something is wrong. I also want to 'The best is like water', so I painted the water surface first."

Ji Liao looked at the water pattern, which was indeed soft and natural, with a faint hidden change, as if it would really flow.

He praised: "Your pen tip already has the style of a master, and every stroke is quite charming."

Miss Zhao smiled and said, "Come on, come on, Taoist Master Mu Zhenzi, please help me think about whether I should draw the so-called clay cow or a Trojan horse."

Ji Liao said curiously: "Since it is unreasonable, why do you think you shouldn't draw it?"

Miss Zhao said, "I can probably guess the mood of my master's painting at that time. His original intention is to paint the ice in the flames and the poplar flowers in autumn."

Ji Liao thought for a moment and said, "I understand, too, that means not sticking to prejudice, breaking the rules, and seeing the essence of things. This is a means of seeing the nature."

Human thinking is inertia and bound. This is what we see and hear in the process of growth. Therefore, in the secular world, people's knowledge and cognition are very one-sided and limited. In Buddhist terms, it is a barrier to knowledge and views.

This is the knowledge you have learned from the world and the confusion you have laid on yourself. And this obstacle is the most difficult to break because you are trapped in yourself.

Miss Zhao's master must have understood this, so he deliberately used phenomena that violate common sense to break the shackles of thinking to gain more creative wisdom. This is somewhat similar to making something out of nothing, just coming out of thin air without any realistic basis.

This principle is close to the essence of Tao.

Even though Ji Liao could think of this, he also benefited from the inspiration of painting and Miss Zhao, so in this way, he was not able to break the shackles, because he just walked out of the normal logic, but fell into another new cognitive logic. If he explored the essence of Tao according to this kind of thinking, it would be abnormal for the sake of abnormality and still be inferior.

Miss Zhao whispered: "It is precisely because I understand this that I feel that if I continue to draw unreasonable phenomena, it is still a rule. However, this rule was set by my master, but in its essence, it is still troubled by what I know and see."

What she said was the same as Ji Liao thought of, but the words she expressed were different.

The clever people in the world are also consistent with each other.

Ji Liao said, "But when I came over, the Master of the Dharma said that you were going to complete this painting. I think he would not be aimless. Maybe you should be about to reach an opportunity."

Miss Zhao's heart moved after hearing this. She had bright eyes and smiled at Ji Liao with teeth, saying, "I understand."

I saw her pick up a large wolf brush and brush several times, and outline the mud cow on the water and the Trojan horse in the wind.

Ji Liao said strangely: "Isn't this what you thought before?"

Miss Zhao waved her hand at the wall, and a scroll fell off the wall, rolled into a scroll, and fell on her hand. She grabbed Ji Liao's forearm and said, "Let's go, let's meet the Master of Dharma."

Ji Liao had no choice but to smile helplessly and follow the girl to meet the Master again.

…………

The Master of Dharma looked at Miss Zhao's finished painting and smiled and said, "You have really completed it."

Ji Liao was a little surprised and said what he had just said to the Master of Dharma.

The Master of Dharma said leisurely: "So fellow Taoists think that although the phenomenon in the painting completed by Master Zhao is in line with the previous half, it is still confined to the shape, but it is not in line with its meaning."

Ji Liao nodded.

The Master of Dharma smiled and said, "It is rare for fellow Taoists to understand this, but Master Zhao is thinking more than you."

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Ji Liao's mind, but he still couldn't catch it.

Suddenly he saw the Master picking his eyes and bounced away the Buddhist beads on his cassock like dust.

He suddenly realized and smiled, "I understand too."

The Master of Dharma smiled and said, "Daoist understands what."

Ji Liao said: "I have heard something before. When I first practice Zen, I saw that the mountains were mountains and water were water. When I realized Zen, I saw that the mountains were not mountains, and water was not water. When I realized that the mountains were still mountains and water was still water. This is the reason why Master Zhao painted.

The strange phenomenon in the painting, when you first look at it is a mountain and water, when you look at it again, you think about it carefully that the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not a water. Finally, you look at it carefully, but it is still a mountain and still a water.

In fact, the reason why Master Zhao was able to finally complete this painting was because she lost her mind and took the mindlessness as the way. The Master of Dharma previously said that the six-inch golden body was an equal and undifferentiated method taught by the Buddha, which also made me understand this meaning. If you don’t teach me the six-inch golden body, but if you want me to understand the meaning of this Dharma, you just need to understand that it doesn’t matter whether you learn or not.

Because as long as I understand the meaning of equality and indiscrimination, what is the difference between my body? Is the demonic energy, the authentic Taoist magic power, or other powers?

Speaking of this, Ji Liao smiled faintly.

He breathed in and out between his mouth and nose, and his breathing sounded like thunder.

I saw countless acupoints all over his body lit up, and were shaken by the thunder sound, and his limbs and bones resonated with the thunder sound.

The vital energy immediately boiled in the Sutra Pavilion.

The Dharma Master Gao Xuan Buddha's name, and the sound of chanting sutras appeared. Mysterious Sanskrit symbols enveloped the place, so that the outside was not affected by the strange phenomena inside.

Zhao Xiyi also smiled.

This is still the thunder sound of the tiger and leopard, but not exactly. It should be said that it is Ji Liao's unique thunder sound breathing method.

The thunder sound he made in the past could only shake the flesh and blood, but now the power in his body was washed by the thunder sound. In addition to the illumination of the acupoints, Ji Liao's body also surging, like the roaring sound from a big river.

Now Ji Liao's body is transforming into the Tao body, and will be more suitable for practice than before, and will gradually escape the limitations of the flesh and blood body.
