078. The Mysterious Master
078, Master Xuanji
The story told by Zhuang Mengzhou is also a Zen case, which is a classic "Five Lanterns Huiyuan". It is said that during the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a chonni Dharma name Xuanji who often practiced in the Darishan Grottoes. One day, the master suddenly had an idea and went down the mountain to visit the famous Zen master Xue Feng Yicun.
Zen Master Xuefeng asked her: "Where are you from?"
Xuanji replied: "Come from Dari Mountain."
Xuefeng: "Is the sunrise?"
Mystery: "If the sun rises, it will melt the snow peak."
This conversation style is a Zen monk who fights with each other. Xue Feng didn't say anything and asked again: "Ask a name."
Xuanji replied: "Xuanji."
The traditional Chinese character Xuan has silk, so "Xuanji" also has the meaning of a silk weaving machine. Since Xuanji used Xuefeng's magic number to hit the front, Xuefeng also used her name to make a seal and asked again: "How much does it weave every day?"
Xuanji replied: "It's so tiring!"
Zen Master Xuefeng had nothing to say. When he was bowing and saying goodbye, Xuan Ji had just taken a few steps when Xuefeng suddenly shouted from behind: "Master, your cassock is mopping the floor."
Xuan Ji quickly lowered his head and lifted the cassock. Zen Master Xuefeng smiled and said, "I'm so naked!"
This Zen case should have been fabricated by later generations, because the birth and death of Zen Master Xuefeng was more than a hundred years late in the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty, but the story is quite interesting. After Zhuang Mengzhou finished speaking, he smiled and drank with a glass of wine, and everyone at the table blinked. Ding Qi seemed to have understood something, but he didn't feel that he understood it very well, but he seemed to have gained something.
Now that something goes wrong, everyone will become naked after entering Xiaojing Lake. Therefore, Zhuang Mengzhou told such a story of "tiredness", which of course means something. If the heart is worried, the clothes may not be worn. If the heart is really naked, then there will be no problem.
Fan Yang suddenly said, "Mr. Zhuang, your story is not kind, it is clearly mocking us as a teacher!"
Zhuang Mengzhou glared at him and said, "You are thinking about the Master!"
Everyone didn't hold back and laughed again. Shi Buquan smiled and said, "You are you, don't talk about us."
Fan Yang condemned: "Then you go and try it too!"
Shi Buquan: "Try it!"
He went downstairs to try it, and after a while he came back, his face full of embarrassment. Everyone knew what was going on without asking. Then everyone left the seat one by one, and they all went alone. Except for Zhuang Mengzhou and Ye Xing, everyone else tried it, but there was no need to explain in detail the result.
After Ding Qi came back, he looked at Fan Yang and smiled bitterly, "I really miss the Master. I'm so naked!"
Ye Xing frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, why don't you try it?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Why do you have to make a fool of yourself even though you know the result, you don't have to do it anymore?"
Ye Xing: "It's a fool? You're starting a map cannon! Everyone tried it just now."
Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's considered a map cannon, but I didn't bring you in. No one minds, what are you concerned about?"
It was considered a foolish thing, not including Ye Xing, but it hurts people to say this. Ye Xing was probably the one who cares most about it at this moment. He would rather make a fool of himself.
Ye Xing suddenly frowned again and said, "Are you still holding Jingshi after you go in? Since you can't bring anything in, how did the stone get in?"
Ding Qi reminded: "Mr. Zhuang never said that he could not bring anything in, he only said under what circumstances he could bring something in."
Tan Hanchuan explained: "The Jingshi is different. It is a thing that carries the mind and is the key to the entry and exit of Xiaojing Lake by Teacher Ding. If we can't even bring Jingshi in, it means that we have not met the requirements for entering the micro-environment, and people cannot go in. I thought of it just now, since Jingshi is still in hand, it means that we can bring things in. What should we do?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Teacher Ding's secret method of the external world is from observing the body to entering the micro realm, and then from entering the micro realm to the Yin E realm. When you cultivate to the Yin E realm, you don't have to always hold that stone, and you may be able to bring your own things in."
Shangni's eyes lit up: "Is that true?"
Zhuang Meng spread his hands on Monday: "I don't know either. I'm guessing nonsense. You should ask Teacher Ding."
Shang Ni turned her head and said, "Teacher Ding?"
Ding Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. I haven't completed it yet. I just saw a path. But Mr. Zhuang's guess should make sense."
Xian Hao: "What's the reason?"
Ding Qi: "If you cultivate to Yin'e Realm, you don't have to always hold the stone in your hand. But where will you put it down after putting it down?"
Xian Hao: "Put it in your pocket."
Ding Qi: "Then you have to have a pocket too!"
Everyone was stunned, then they all reacted and burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, when Ding Qi was so humorous, the question and answer were very clever. Xian Hao blushed, but pretended to be natural: "Thank you Teacher Ding for your explanation. I think I may not have to take the stone in."
Shang Ni said in surprise: "Teacher Ding's words, have you cultivated into Yin'e Realm?"
Xian Hao: "I have not cultivated the Yin E Realm. I used to only know the Piaomen Yin E Art. But the thing that carries my mind and mind may not necessarily be that stone! If it is something else, as long as it can achieve the same effect, wouldn't it be fine?"
Tan Hanchuan nodded and said, "It makes sense. As long as it is something that can support the mind and spirit, it should be the same. But that stone is for entering and leaving the Xiaojing Lake, and it is not simply for the mind and spirit. The stone is a small lake and the Xiaojing Lake is a stone. To reach the state of induction and inferring, we will be able to succeed after many days of sacrifice. If it is replaced with another thing, it may not be easy."
Xian Hao whispered: "I want to give it a try."
Ye Xing suddenly slapped the table again and said, "I thought of another question!"
Everyone smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ye, you said."
Ye Xing: "Since we can't bring in the things we have brought in, can we still bring out the things we have brought in?"
Tan Hanchuan immediately stood up and said, "I'll try it in."
Tan Hanchuan didn't walk the stairs and jumped directly from the terrace into the backyard. After about ten minutes, he came back and nodded with a serious expression and said, "I tried it. I can't bring out the things I brought in yesterday."
Shi Buquan sighed: "Oh, it seems that the inkstone is out of the way."
A Quan was thinking about something just now. Xiaojing Lake cannot be taken out of things that do not belong to the outside world, but what someone brought in from outside should be able to be taken out, which has been confirmed. He thought of many things in the villa, which must have been brought in from outside, such as the three ancient inkstones mentioned by Mr. Zhuang.
But now that Ye Xing is so broken, he can't take out the things he has brought in from outside. Not to mention the original things in Xiaojing Lake, what did they bring in yesterday? There was a bedding, a machete that opened the way in the bushes, a few clean clothes from Shangni, an emergency light, a bottle of mineral water and a pack of food.
There were two girls here, and it was not convenient to enter and exit at the same time. So everyone agreed that no matter who wanted to enter and exit Xiaojing Lake, the interval must be fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes was enough to pass through the portal and change clothes.
It is easy to get out of Xiaojing Lake. There is a large wardrobe when entering the door. But what should I do when entering Xiaojing Lake from the backyard? Do I have to run naked on the steps, pass through the open space and enter the villa, pass through the corridor to the wing room and wear ancient clothes? If there were others in Xiaojing Lake at this time, wouldn’t they all see it?
Experts are experts, and they can always come up with solutions. There is also a large wardrobe on the Xiaojing Lake. The large wardrobe faces the large wardrobe, which is only one meter away, but belongs to two different worlds, one is modern and the other is from the Ming Dynasty. The large wardrobe from the Ming Dynasty was of course moved out of the villa.
They also used materials and built a shed in front of the stone wall with the portal painted on it. The style was very simple. Fortunately, they had brought a machete in before, otherwise the wood would be difficult to cut. There were no nails and they were spliced with mortise and tenon structure.
In a big manor, it is not enough to have only one solar emergency light at night. At this time, he saw Fan Yang's ability, and he also had a pair of skilled hands. He took everyone to collect resin secreted by tree knots, used bamboo tubes as a mold, and kneaded it into a core. He actually made many candles, and he was almost able to survive in the wilderness and other live broadcasts.
But this is not a wilderness, it is the world of immortals! What everyone originally thought about was how to open it and enjoy the freedom of immortals... Alas, there are not so many things in the world, but it actually feels like traveling to a primitive society!
It is not very accurate to say that it is a primitive society, because Xiaojing Lake also has a Ming Dynasty manor, and everyone wears Ming Dynasty clothes. Shang Ni originally brought in a few clothes, but when she saw everyone wearing ancient costumes, she thought it was very interesting, so she also wore ancient costumes in Xiaojing Lake.
Everyone had wide robes and big sleeves, looking at Piao Piao Ruoxian. If someone who was not clear about the reason accidentally broke in at this time, they might have thought they had met a god! The scene was a bit weird, why were these "gods" holding a stone in their hands?
It is indeed inconvenient to hold a stone for everything, but no one is willing to let it go easily. Only those who have experienced it will understand that if they lose a certain memory, that feeling will be very bad. Moreover, Ding Qi, Tan Hanchuan, and Zhuang Mengzhou all said that insisting on holding the stone to hold the mind is also a kind of cultivation. If you want to break through from entering the micro realm to the Yin'e realm, this is a necessary process.
Xian Hao said she wanted to try something that would support her mind. She changed to a short knife with a sheath. During the next period, Ding Qi often saw Xian Hao holding a short knife in his left hand, just like the one holding the stone some time ago. Xian Hao had never seen Xian Hao pull out the knife. Ding Qi saw only the scabbard and the handle that was inlaid with silver flowers, which was very beautiful.
Xian Hao is a very quiet beauty, but she always holds a knife on weekdays, which looks very incongruous. After changing the things she is in hand to this knife, Xian Hao can no longer enter Xiaojing Lake.
Xian Hao's expression was always faint, but his personality had a very firm side, which he really couldn't see. After half a month, Xian Hao did not enter Xiaojing Lake, but she did not change her mind. Half a month later, she finally succeeded and walked naked to the other big wardrobe, holding the short knife in her hand.
When I opened the door of the large wardrobe, I found a set of folded clothes with a leaf on it, and the leaves had the words: "Junior Sister Xian Hao, this set of clothes suits your figure very well. I have washed it with Qingquan, so I can change it with confidence."
Although the ancient costumes in the wardrobe are well preserved and look very clean, they have not been washed for six hundred years and are not his own clothes. Xian Hao has a vicious habit, so it must be awkward to wear them. Ding Qi thought about this in advance, picked a set of cleansing clothes and prepared there, and also put a note made from the ground materials.
The leaf note was not signed, but Xian Hao saw that it was left by Ding Qi.
Xian Hao picked up the leaf, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a gentle smile. Then he realized that he was not wearing clothes yet, and his face turned slightly red. He quickly changed his clothes. There was a pair of straw sandals next to the clothes, and he also wore them. The first time she wore the Ming Dynasty costume, she studied and sorted it out for a long time before she walked out of the straw shed and came to the manor.
Ding Qi sat in the pavilion and watched Xian Hao wearing ancient costume walk over. He was a little confused for a moment. When he came to his senses, he went forward and said, "Junior Sister Xian Hao, you are finally in!"
Xian Hao handed him a leaf, lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Thank you! How do you know I can come in today?"
Ding Qi: "I don't know. I've prepared it long ago. You can see it whenever you come in."
Xian Hao: "Then, then, didn't everyone else see it?"
Ding Qi thought about it again, and it seemed like this. Looking at Xian Hao's shy reaction, he couldn't help but become a little intoxicated again. Xian Hao didn't want others to see this note, and it seemed that she hoped that she could have the privacy they knew only by themselves. Ding Qi is a psychologist, so of course he could understand what this means.
Xian Hao, who was inexplicably shy, looked up and suddenly said in surprise: "Why are you not holding a stone? Have you cultivated into Yin'e Realm!"
Ding Qi turned around and saw his lying cow-shaped stone still placed in the beauty in the pavilion. He could only smile bitterly and said, "It's not that he has cultivated into Yin'e Realm, but that he finally came in just now when he saw you, and was excited and forgot."
Ding Qi didn't say that he was just watching the beauty being a slut, and instantly dispersed the state of placing his mind. It was useless to hold the stone. When he got up, he had already put the stone down. As he spoke, Ding Qi suddenly wondered: "Why are you not holding that knife, just holding this leaf?"
Xian Hao lowered his head again and said, "I didn't pay attention when changing clothes, so I put down the knife..." In fact, she put down the knife when she saw the leaves.
The sunset in the fairyland was shining on the two of them. What a wonderful scene. Ding Qi said a little sadly: "What a pity!"
Xian Hao knew what he was talking about and whispered: "I'll come in again next time."
Anyway, he had put down the stone and the knife, and Ding Qi felt a little rippling. He looked at Xian Hao and said, "After going out, don't we remember what happened this time? If I were to do something bold, you wouldn't blame me afterwards, right?"
Xian Hao looked a little flustered: "You, what do you want to do?" Although he said that, his body did not dodge.
