Prehistoric: Senior Brother Xuanmen

Chapter 24

Dashizhi took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "The two masters have created not only the way of mother-in-law and pure land, but the way I want to discuss with my brother is Wu!"

After a pause, he clasped his hands together, and Bao Xiang solemnly said: "Mind, body, and sentient beings, all three are empty. The true nature of phenomena is empty. There is no enlightenment, no confusion, no sage, no ordinary, no giving, no receiving... ...and nothing.

This is my understanding of "nothingness", please enlighten me, brother! "

Above, Nuwa looked towards Xuan Chengzi, a look of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

Xuan Chengzi's interpretation of "Whirling and the Pure Land" before made her feel very novel, and she couldn't help but look forward to it now.

How would he interpret the way of "nothingness"?

At this moment, Xuan Chengzi looked dignified and remained silent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is thinking hard, and obviously he can't think of a way to refute it for a while.

It's just that no one can guess that he is not thinking about the method of rebuttal at this moment, but is debating whether to do it or not.

When Dashizhi just opened his mouth, he felt that this so-called "nothing" way was a little familiar.

Think for a moment.

Isn't this a famous Zen koan in the memory of the previous life?
Then, do you want to learn from Duyuan and give it to him?
Standing opposite him, Da Shizhi felt a palpitation of imminent danger for no reason, and couldn't help but look around.

No way, what danger can I have in the Bajing Palace?
……

Seeing that Xuan Chengzi was silent, Tong Tian, ​​who was sitting on the gossip table, sighed imperceptibly.

Turning his head to look at the expressionless Yuanshi Tianzun beside him, he wondered whether he should say something nice for Xuan Chengzi when the second brother was angry after losing this game.

After all, this way of "nothingness" was enlightened by receiving Zhunti, Dashizhi is only responsible for explaining it, and it is not easy for younger disciples to refute it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Zhunti again.

This junior is still as strong as before.

……

Inside the Bajing Palace, there was silence.

Whether it was the quasi-sages above, or the disciples on the back below, they were all silently waiting for Xuan Chengzi to speak.

For a long time, Xuan Chengzi remained silent, as if immersed in his own world.

Looking at Xuan Chengzi who was frowning and thinking hard, Dashizhi flashed a smug look in his eyes, and smiled: "What do you think of this way of 'nothing', brother?"

Xuan Chengzi sniffed lightly, then turned his head, pointed at his feet, and uttered a lip-sounding word——

"Pooh!"

The crisp voice echoed in the Bajing Palace.

Da Shi stared at Xuan Chengzi in disbelief, as if a small flame slowly shot up in his eyes.

How dare he insult the Dao of the two teachers like this!
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi's eyes widened, and they could hardly believe their own eyes.

Why is the elder brother who has always been gentle and convincing with reason swearing again?
No, the word "bah" is not a bad word, is it?
It's just way too insulting.

And in front of all the half-step saints, insulting the Western Avenue!

Even the two of them were surprised and incomprehensible by this "bah", and the disciples of the Western line were even more in an uproar.

"How dare you insult me ​​West Avenue!"

"Is it the attitude of the first disciple of the Taoist sect to speak rudely when he loses in the discussion?"

Da Shizhi was so angry that his face flushed red, his eyes spewed fire, and he stared straight at Xuan Chengzi, trembling all over, as if he couldn't help but want to fight back.

But in the next moment, he fell to the ground facing Yuanshi Tianzun with a "plop", kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and cried loudly: "Xuan Chengzi insulted the Dao created by my master, I beg my master to be the master for me!"

"Since there is nothing, why is there so much anger and grievance?"

Xuan Chengzi looked at Dashizhi with a puzzled expression and said, "Junior Brother, it is not right for you to speak like this. You asked me to teach you, and now you are wronged and complained. This behavior is not authentic."

Dashizhi was stunned, and then said angrily: "You call it enlightenment?!"

"This is what I want to teach you!"

Xuan Chengzi talked with a smile on his face, "There is nothing, and it also refers to the state of mind!
There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, belittle me, belittle me, and lie to me, how should I deal with it?
Just endure him, let him, avoid him, let him, endure him, respect him, ignore him, and you will see him in a few years.

This is the true meaning of 'nothing'!

Apparently, junior brother, your practice is not yet at home. "

The general situation was completely stunned, and he fell to the ground, muttering to himself with blank eyes; "Endure him, let him, avoid him, let him, bear him, respect him, ignore him... so this is the real thing. Is the true meaning of 'nothing'?"

The Bajing Palace is quiet and vast, and Dashizhi's self-talk is small, but it is clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi stared wide-eyed, looking at Da Shizhi who was in a state of confusion in disbelief.

No, no, no?
Eldest brother won't make this general trend an epiphany, right?

A gleam flashed in Jin Ling's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Wu Dang beside him, and the two communicated excitedly through the sound transmission of the primordial spirit.

Duobao frowned slightly, so can he come back?

He glanced at the three western disciples, Ksitigarbha, Maitreya, and Kinnara, who were sitting opposite, and saw that the three of them were frowning, as if they were thinking about something.

Isn't the "true meaning of nothing" that Xuan Chengzi said was just nonsense?

Duobao couldn't understand it.

On the gossip stage, Nuwa's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she whispered to Fuxi next to her, "This Xuan Chengzi is really extraordinary, and he can think of this way to break the situation... The nonsense made up later sounds similar. , very much in line with the Tao of the two juniors.”

Although her voice is low, which of the quasi-sages on the gossip stage can't hear her?

Tongtian laughed loudly and said: "What a patient, let him, avoid him, let him, bear him, respect him, ignore him! Zhunti Junior Brother, Xuan Chengzi's interpretation of the way of 'nothing' may be biased. ?”

Before Zhunti could speak, Yuanshi Tianzun said expressionlessly: "Although Xuan Chengzi is kind enough to point out the general situation, his words and deeds are a bit out of proportion. I will definitely discipline him well in the future. Don't take offense to Zhunti's younger brother."

Zhun mention: "..."

You brothers have finished talking, what else do you want me to say?
I have seen those who protect the calf, but I have never seen you who protect the calf like this!

However, Xuan Chengzi's interpretation of "nothing" seems to make some sense...

Zhunti looked at Jieyin, who happened to be looking at him too.

The eyes of the two quasi-sages met for a moment, and they both saw a strange brilliance in each other's eyes.

This Xuan Chengzi seems to be very familiar with their western way!
