Chapter 104 The One Hundred and Three Palms The Heart of Seeking Proof (310, please order)

Hog Rider!

The wild boar was in pain, and after a burst of noise, it jumped out with a 'pop'.

Zen Master Loneliness shook his head and sighed: What evil have I done?

He turned his head and looked at Li Chen, his eyes gradually deepening: "I have three apprentices."

"It's outrageous. He has a pure heart and is innocent. Although he has the highest level of cultivation, he is still too young and is still a child."

"Li Sao has wisdom roots and extraordinary aptitudes, but her temperament is out of control and she does many unexpected things. In time, she should have the appearance of a angry-eyed King Kong."

"And you, Li Chen..."

Hearing this, Li Chen already understood that Zen Master Loneliness wanted to give him a heads up.

"You have the highest talent and good fortune. The most valuable thing is that you have deep roots of wisdom and are calm in dealing with things. This is in line with the Buddhist saying of having no desires and no demands."

"But precisely because of this, there is still something missing in you."

When Li Chen heard this, his face was full of humility: "Master, please give me some advice."

Zen Master Loneliness nodded: "You lack a desire to seek verification."

Li Chen was stunned: "A desire for proof?"

Zen Master Loneliness pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of our Zen sect is to break illusions and seek truth, and all our practices are for this purpose."

"Zen Buddhism teaches people to take it easy and let go. Some people will never be able to understand it in their entire lives.

But some people are born with this wisdom. "

"Just like you, you act calmly and ask for nothing. This is the state that ordinary people pursue their whole life, but you get it easily.

It's like getting something for nothing. After all, it is missing a piece of experience and a "heart for verification."

The road to enlightenment is so bleak. Although your practice is going well now, if you encounter bottlenecks in the future, you will be more likely to get trapped in a cocoon. "

"So I hope you can gain more experience during this trip and find your own heart of seeking verification."

Li Chen received his teachings and felt grateful: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Zen Master Loneliness nodded and waved his hand to signal him to get on his way quickly.

Li Chen didn't hesitate, got on his back and waved goodbye.

After walking two miles, I looked back and saw a thin figure still standing in front of the thousand-year-old temple.

…

Li Chen, who was on the wandering deer, was silently thinking about the words of Zen Master Loneliness.

Buddhism's mind cultivation is to constantly seek, to seek verification, and to remain calm after experiencing everything.

But after being separated from the mortal world for two lives and experiencing two lives, one is born with the realm that Buddhism pursues.

Therefore, without the process of seeking, there will inevitably be less desire for verification.

What is the desire for proof?

It is searching, seeking, proving, and various experiences in the process of pursuing the great road.

So what is the avenue?

Buddha, cultivate your mind and look down upon life and death.

The Tao is to do nothing, to be at peace with the situation.

Demon, addiction, and intoxication are the ways.

The Tao is not achieved overnight, the Tao is the process of experience, and the Tao is the heart of seeking verification.

But it was too easy for Li Chen to get the result that others have been searching for all his life, so he lacked the process that should go into getting this result.

This is what Zen Master Loneliness calls the ‘heart seeking truth’.

This is to abandon the fundamental and pursue the inferior.

If a person has no goals, no matter how high his cultivation level is, he will always be confused and will never find his own way.

This is in line with the saying in the previous life: If a person has no ideals, what difference does he have from a salted fish?

So what is your own way?

Li Chen half-reclined on the plum blossoms, looking at Wanli Qingming, and fell into deep thought.

…

The two of them had been wandering around for five days since they left the Sesshou Temple.

During these five days, I traveled during the day and rested anywhere at night.

Although it was a bit harder, it was much more comfortable than in the temple.

Hum hum hum.

The wild boar is humping the wild flowers on the roadside again.

"Tie Sun, stop arching and leave quickly!"

"If you don't leave, I'm going to give birth!"

Li Sao slapped the wild boar with a big slap. Unfortunately, the wild boar had rough skin and thick flesh, so he had probably already adapted to it.

Looking at this scene, Li Chen was speechless: One pregnancy makes me stupid for three years.

Also, who in the right mind would name a wild boar ‘Turtle Sun’?

He also scolded himself.

"Bie Sun, if you don't leave, we will have roast pig tonight..."

Hum hum hum.

Turtle Sun ran quite fast, but every time he ran for a period of time, he had to make waves on the roadside.

The plum blossoms of the Deer King were fluttering, and he was pacing around with his four hooves, snoring loudly.

[Pig teammates are simply pig teammates. 】

[No walking, no wine to drink, uncomfortable. 】

Haha, one hundred kilometers consumes about three bottles of good wine.

In comparison, it's quite conscientious.

Take off the gourd and take a few sips of the wine.

["Bacchus" runs automatically, activating 'Talking the truth after drinking'. 】

Although I was on the run, I never stopped practicing.

Although he was confused about spiritual practice, he never gave up.

In particular, "Bacchus" has made rapid progress.

It is estimated that it will not take long to break through the eighth level.

Put down the flask and took out the map.

Southern Xinjiang is known as one hundred thousand mountains. There is still more than half of the journey to Anhou City, and almost all of it is mountainous.

Judging from the current speed, it will take at least ten days to arrive.

Look at the sky, the sun is almost setting.

So he turned around and said: "Junior brother, it's getting late. Just two steps further, there is a small village. Let's find a place to stay there tonight."

"It's exactly what I want, senior brother, but I can't hold this turtle grandson anymore."

Li Chen glanced at it.

[I smelled it. A young lady peed here. 】

"Wait until we get to the next village and stir him up."

Li Sao was so angry that she simply took it back to the beast control card and walked directly.

After climbing over a mountain, we finally saw the village before it became completely dark.

This village is not big, only about a hundred households.

It was only three o'clock in the morning, but the whole village had no light at all.

"Senior brother, why do I feel that this place is so spooky? It can't be a ghost village."

Li Chen turned over and didn't respond.

Li Sao tremblingly pressed forward: "Senior brother, if we continue walking forward, we might be able to encounter other villages."

Li Chen frowned: "There is only one village within a radius of fifty miles."

His hair stood on edge, and all the fluctuations around him reached his ears.

Soon Li Chen's eyes lit up, and under the "The Art of Listening", no matter how quiet the sound was, he could clearly hear it.

His eyes moved around, and he finally stopped in front of a relatively wealthy-looking house.

After confirming again that there was a sound in the room, Li Chen stepped forward and knocked the door knocker gently.

Unexpectedly, it was better that he didn't knock on the door, but as soon as he knocked on the door, the room immediately became silent, mixed with soft sobs.

What's going on?

Never met before, no sense of trust at all?

"Brother, is there no one in this house? I think we should leave here quickly, there is something strange about this."

Li Chen shook his head slightly and tapped the door knocker twice.

The next moment, I heard a middle-aged man pleading from inside the room: "God of the land, I, Li Laowen, am willing to donate all my property. Can you let my daughter go?"

"I kowtow to you, kowtow to you."

Then the sound of kowtowing "dong dong dong" came from inside.

The cries in the yard were no longer suppressed, and became one after another.

"What's going on?"

Li Chen was dumbfounded.
