I Honor

: Phantom of the Ancient Tree

After waving the black-robed man to leave, Meng Qi turned his eyes to the window, looking at the newborn sun, the gorgeous morning glow, as if he had a feeling, and he turned around after a few breaths, looked at the empty door, and listened to the bustling people. In the early morning, after realizing that everything was peaceful, he breathed out quietly, as if he had experienced a fierce battle.

“It’s really not easy,” he sighed secretly.

The lineage of Medicine Master Wangfo is rooted in the Sutra of Fundamental Vows and focuses on sambhogakaya, and Moonlight Bodhisattva is no exception. Words and deeds must be consistent with the great vows made by oneself, so as to be close to the corresponding Dao Dharma. , In this process, once there is a violation, the “reward” will be lost immediately.

Therefore, protecting oneself and repaying the cause and effect can be done by Moonlight Bodhisattva without any problem. It can be used as a part of Dao Dharma, directly interfering with ordinary affairs, sorrows and joys, and helping oneself to deal with the man in black is obviously impossible.

Therefore, Meng Qi was more than self-preserving but worried that the black-robed man would be difficult to control against the other passengers on the ship, and he didn’t know if the Moonlight Bodhisattva would stop him if there was no mass killing, so he had to use his ability to fool and combine his past knowledge With some insights after losing his martial arts strength, he abruptly dragged the black-robed man for a whole night, eliminating all kinds of inner feelings, and at the same time restrained him half-truthfully and half-bluffingly with the great achievement of the pupil of innocence.

For the past half a night, he seemed to be an expert in the world, discussing what is outside and what is the real self, free and easy and deep, but actually exhausted his mental energy and worried every step of the way. Too much, causing a backlash.

No fists, no swords, no swords, this night’s chat did not seem like a fierce battle, but it was, although the other party might not feel it.

“Fortunately, I still have a mouth.” Meng Qi stroked his temples, feeling a little self-satisfied in his self-mockery.

In the college dormitory, I was addicted to martial arts fantasy novels, and I was still the best at enlivening the atmosphere, gossiping and spoofing among my roommates. I spoiled one piece after another, and they joked that there was only one mouth left in the whole body, which was quite sincere. Confidently tell yourself that in ancient times, Confucius became a saint and was revered as Confucius, and now there is a mouthpiece who is king, and should be called “Zuizi”.

Sure enough, without the strength of martial arts, one has to change one’s attitude, one’s thinking and one’s way of dealing with things.

After this night, Meng Qi had a deeper understanding of the external pattern.

It’s not that the strength of martial arts obscures my eyes, but the experience habits, inherent cognition, instinctive judgments, etc. formed after relying on the strength of martial arts are interfering with my mind. They are very correct in some cases, but if you completely believe in them, follow They are bound to be conservative and “stubborn”, and sooner or later they will encounter a threshold without knowing it, and they will sink from then on.

Because of this, “cut me and see me” is not giving up “I”, let alone giving up martial arts strength, but to break through this limitation, which cannot be followed.

Once you break through and see your true self, you will be able to completely grasp the strength of martial arts, control it instead of being restricted by it, just like building a boat to cross the sea of ​​bitterness, but when you reach the other side, hold the boat and don’t let it go, then the cart before the horse , means and ends are confused.

This kind of thing is not something that can be detected through investigation. The experience, cognition and habits that are almost internalized into instinct are always playing a role unconsciously. I can’t recognize the idea, after all, “the authorities are obsessed”, it takes a long time to examine it a little bit, and it is possible to crack it, which is enough to be called a big problem on the road of martial arts.

Under such circumstances, Meng Qicai accepted Qi Zhengyan’s suggestion, and by “abandoning martial arts strength”, the contradictions between experience, cognition, habits and reality directly surfaced. The intensity was fierce, but it was indeed quite obvious. Let the “stubborn” mind after many years of practice experience it all the time.

After contemplating for a while, Meng Qi’s stomach growled, he shook his head and laughed, and went out of the cabin to the lobby of the building. On the way, he saw many passengers holding Talismans of Myriad Realms, or chatting with their family members, comforting the pain of missing, or pointing fingers Swipe, the light and shadow in the eyes change, and browse the interesting news and posts.

The same nourishing things are silent, and the Wanjie Tongzhi Talisman has changed the life mode of the real world.

“Xiao Meng, I haven’t seen you use the talisman of myriad realms these days.” After getting along for many days, Huang Chang, who planned to defect to Mo Palace, got to know Meng Qi very well. A question I wanted to ask and forgot to ask before.

How do you exchange numbers and become communication friends without the universal knowledge symbol?

Meng Qi let out a sigh: “It was stolen in Sanxiao Island, and I didn’t find it until I went out to sea.”

Huang Chang didn’t doubt it, and took out another Myriad Realm Talisman from his pocket and handed it over: “This is what I used before, and it has relatively few functions, so you can make do with it first, and contact your family as soon as possible, lest they worry about it.” .”

“Okay.” Meng Qi’s eyes flashed brightly, and he accepted Huang Chang’s kindness without hesitation.

With the Talisman of Myriad Realms, I can contact Mr. Lu Da, Zhiwei, Da Qinggen and the others, and I can return to Yuxu Palace directly without having to travel long distances.Ford, the boat and the car are tired.

However, if you go directly to Yuxu Palace, will you lose your experience and understanding?

Forget it, just get in touch, chat, gossip, and keep abreast of the current situation.

Thinking about it, Meng Qi opened this universal knowledge talisman, and then planned to enter the corresponding number to contact Jiang Zhiwei and the others.

At this moment, his movements suddenly stopped, because he realized that he couldn’t remember Jiang Zhiwei’s number

After the dharma body, the primordial spirit merges with the physical body, and the true spirit emerges. It is by no means a lie. Qi didn’t even bother to memorize the universal knowledge code of his teacher and friend, because it was firmly engraved in his heart at a glance. Now that his martial arts strength has been lost, he has returned to the ordinary. How can he have this ability to bear information and this kind of memory?

Some vague impressions were deep in the sea of ​​mind, but it was hard to see them clearly. Meng Qi pondered hard, frowning, like a patient with amnesia. Many experiences in the past and accumulated knowledge seemed to have sunk into the bottom of the sea. , indistinct and indistinct, what can still be remembered is only a small part floating on the water.

It turns out that even memory and knowledge partly depend on martial arts strength

If he hadn’t taken the life-prolonging elixir himself, he might be very old and dead by now.

The influence of martial arts that had been internalized into instinct surfaced, and Meng Qi felt like he was sweating profusely. Even if he gave up his strength, he would not be able to detect the problem so easily.

If you don’t give up, you will have to rely on time.

Surprised and frightened, and with something to gain, Meng Qi put away the Universal Knowledge Talisman given by Huang Chang, smiled and said, “There is no one answering for now, let’s have breakfast first.”

Huang Chang didn’t doubt that he was there, they both walked into the lobby of the building and found a place to sit down.

While chatting about various anecdotes, Meng Qi continued to think about the question just now.

Even memory and insight are partly dependent on martial arts strength, so my current attitude, thinking and method are completely free from its influence

The cognition and experience brought by martial arts strength are constraints. Are the cognitions and experiences cultivated by earth knowledge and past memories also constraints?

After a brief silence, Meng Qi answered himself in his heart:

It’s restraint, no difference

Give up martial arts strength because it is the greatest dependence, so you can see more things clearly, not other or external

Experience, knowledge and thinking methods from martial arts strength will have limitations, and it will be difficult to fully “see” the real self. Experience, knowledge and thinking methods from earth knowledge and past memories will also have limitations, and it will also be difficult to fully “see” the real self. To be precise, limited by the fact that you are still in the day after tomorrow, cutting off everything is tantamount to death, unable to think, unable to comprehend, so no matter which method or experience has limitations, it is impossible to fully “see” the true self , can only see one side, each has similarities and differences, just like a blind man touches an elephant, each has something to gain and cover, but it is not the real face.

Knowing these similarities and differences, you will know that all appearances are not appearances, and you will see the Tathagata.

What is Tathagata, “I” is Tathagata

At this point, you can see your true self, and you can prove your own legend

It is precisely because of this that the Buddhas with the suffix “Tathagata” have the least legends.

This momentary recognition made Meng Qi happy physically and mentally. It wasn’t an epiphany, but he had truly seen the legendary road. He had been a little confused about what to realize and how to do it after giving up his martial arts strength. He could only keep trying. Now he really knows How to work hard and how to examine yourself.

With this in mind, Meng Qi couldn’t help but smile all over his face, and the little girl at the next table muttered, “Uncle seems to have lighted up all of a sudden.”

“That’s right, it’s like lighting candles at night.” The little boy echoed.

Less acquired contamination, although less insight, less wisdom, but can see some things that are difficult for adults to see.

Meng Qi glanced at them, and said with a smile, “Uncle’s body is like glass, clear inside and out.”

The “Uncle is amazing” twins have no doubts at all.

At this moment, someone by the window exclaimed and blurted out:

“Ancient Hibiscus Tree”

This sea route is completely different from the sea area where the ancient hibiscus tree is located. It is hundreds of thousands of miles away. How could you see the ancient hibiscus tree? Meng Qi calmed down and looked out of the window. Bathed in fire, there is a scorching, bloody, ancient and illusory feeling.

It’s an ancient hibiscus tree

A warrior took out the astrolabe, speculated for a moment, and said in confusion: “The sea route is correct, why did the ancient Fusang tree come here?”

Meng Qi was about to go to Wanjie Tongshi Tiandi to post a post to ask for help, when he suddenly heard the voice of Moonlight Bodhisattva: “You can see the ghostly shadow of the ancient hibiscus tree in the seven seas, and there are people from Luojiao haunting it.”

“Luojiao” Meng Qi frowned. The ancient Fusang tree is related to Donghuang Taiyi. What does Luojiao want to do?

Then he begged: “Please also pay attention to one or two Bodhisattvas.”

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby of Louchuan, some people took pictures, some posted posts, and some broadcasted live. Huang Chang watched it for a long time, and turned around satisfied, and found that his new friend Xiao Meng was thinking hard, with a solemn expression on his face.

“what are you thinking” heasked casually.

Meng Qi said seriously:

“I’m thinking about what Luojiao’s plan is, worrying about the extent of their collusion with the monster race, thinking about the general situation of the world, and deducing how my human race should deal with itself.”

Huang Chang looked at him blankly, not knowing what to do next, and everyone around him looked dumbfounded.

This, is this something you need to think about? Is it useful for you to think about it?

Could it be that the members of the famous “virtual government affairs hall” in Wanjie Tongshi Tiandi lived in an ordinary life, worried about the country and the people, and talked about military affairs.

Suddenly, Moonlight Bodhisattva’s voice reached Meng Qi’s ears again:

“The ancient Fusang tree has the aura of the legend of the Luo religion. It seems that it was found there according to the guidance of the Golden Emperor and the clues left by the previous saint.”

Little Sang Mengqi stood up abruptly.
