Mirroring the changes

The worries in Li Chen's heart were like a sealed package.

Between his hands, they were constantly compressed.

The sweat on his head flowed down in streams, and the muscles on his body bulged high.

His originally fair skin turned cherry red.

It was like being roasted on a flame, and it was already half cooked.

This time, it was more difficult to put his palms together than the last time he was in Sanbao Zen Temple.

You should know that after he awakened the four major constitutions, his strength was no less than 3,000 pounds.

In all aspects, his body was far superior to before.

But even so, his palms could hardly move.

Zizizizi.

I don't know when sparks appeared between his hands.

It seemed that something was preventing his hands from being put together.

Li Chen gritted his teeth and persisted, and the worries in his heart became more rampant.

Roar~

Suddenly, a dragon roar came from his body.

But the distance between his palms was only reduced by two fingers.

This was already the limit of his body, but the distance between the two palms was still far away.

Li Chen was bloodshot, and he didn't know how to give up.

The more he couldn't put his palms together, the more he used all his strength.

The so-called "no desire makes one strong" means that when a person has no desire, he will become extremely tough and will not give up.

At this moment, putting his palms together has become Li Chen's instinct.

There is no more hindrance in his heart.

A thought makes him a demon.

A thought makes him a Buddha.

Snap~

The two palms are tightly pressed together.

Li Chen did it!

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.

Blood moon, red sea, waves, haze...

Everything in this world.

Like a piece of glass.

When Li Chen put his palms together, it was immediately shattered and turned into nothing.

Instead, it was replaced by:

The golden warm sun and the white tower.

Colorful light and graceful Zen sound.

Wandering in the sacred Buddha light.

Li Chen looked at the white tower in front of him for a long time without moving.

He realized that "putting palms together and taking refuge" is the way to get through the troubles.

There is also the meaning of persuading people to worship Buddha.

The Shifang Pagoda is not on this shore, not on the other shore, and not in the middle.

If you leave this shore, you will reach the other shore.

Wherever your heart goes, it is the other shore!

And it has always been in front of you, never going anywhere else!

The mirror of Jieyu flashed.

[You suddenly realized that the 'four elements are empty', the four constitutions merged into one, and awakened a special constitution: the Sotapanna body. ]

[Srotapanna body:

Personality: Immaculate, obsession

State 1: The body is not bound by external objects, and the vitality, various resistances, and recovery abilities are far superior to ordinary people.

State 2: When in the obsession state, set the obsession behavior and the body will automatically execute it.

Description 1: As long as the liver is not dead, the liver will die.

Description 2: Official plug-in. ]

Srotapanna body?

Li Chen had never heard of it.

It just felt that his body became extremely relaxed.

It was like wearing armor for more than ten years and finally taking it off.

The turbulent Qi, the surging blood, the endless energy.

All told him that this was no longer an ordinary mortal body.

Without caring about feeling the new physique, he took a step forward and stepped onto the stairs leading to the White Pagoda.

The colorful Buddha light shone on his body, and he felt a warmth he had never felt before.

One step, two steps, three steps...

At the end of the stairs, the entrance to the White Pagoda.

Li Chen looked up and saw that this was a five-story solitary pagoda.

There were no traces of carvings on it.

But inexplicably, it made people feel extremely sacred.

Li Chen took a deep breath and finally reached this step.

Lifting his legs and landing.

Ding~

Ding~

Ding~

...

The sound of a bell from the top of the tower rang out from somewhere.

At this moment, everything seemed to be washed by the sound of the bell.

Empty and silent.

The inside and outside of the Ten Directions Pagoda were the same, all of them were extremely white.

The first floor was empty.

There were only two lines of verses hanging in the middle:

"Be patient and immovable like the earth, and be deep and profound like a hidden treasure."

It is said that this is the Buddha's praise for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

It is also the meditation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Especially the word "quiet", which seems to be deliberately magnified.

This is hinting at what Li Chen should do.

Quiet.

There are many states.

No words, no sound, no movement.

Li Chen walked to the middle and stood still, holding the rosary in one hand and the other hand on his chest.

The incarnation of clay sculpture, motionless.

I don't know how long it took, and finally a bell sounded.

Then a staircase slowly emerged from the ground until it connected to the second floor.

Li Chen then carefully exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Take a step lightly, the stairs are still there, and the hanging heart is put down.

Slowly step up to the second floor along the building.

Like the first floor, the verses are still hanging on the wall.

"Calm and immovable like the earth, deep and profound meditation like a hidden treasure."

This time the word "quiet" seems to be a little bigger.

A higher level of quiet?

Li Chen pondered in his heart and walked to the center.

Different from the empty first floor.

There is a white cushion here.

Li Chen made up his mind.

Abandoning distracting thoughts, he sat on the cushion.

If the first level tests the quietness of the outside world.

Then the second level tests the inner peace.

Meditate in concentration.

As if the world has nothing to do with me.

The five-color Buddha light shines into the tower.

Li Chen did not move.

The breeze brushed his clothes.

Li Chen did not move.

The sound of Zen resounded in his ears.

Li Chen did not move.

The tranquility of entering into a state of concentration.

It lies in contemplation, concentration, and not being disturbed by external things.

Ding~

Ding~

The bell rang again.

The building of the second floor gradually rose.

Li Chen finally opened his eyes.

The moment of tranquility made him feel relaxed.

Climbing to the third floor.

It was still the same verse.

"Be patient and unmoving like the earth, and be deep and profound like a secret treasure."

The word "tranquility" became bigger.

So that the other words were covered by it.

Li Chen frowned. A higher level of tranquility?

In addition to the tranquility of the outside world, the tranquility of the heart.

Is there any tranquility that is more thorough and more transparent than these two?

Li Chen was puzzled, but he still walked to the middle position.

Compared with the second floor, there is another white vase here.

A lotus bud is inserted in the vase.

The bud is delicate, and it sets off a profound Zen meaning with the vase.

Li Chen couldn't help but sit down and watch.

Unfortunately, after a long time, he sighed, still not understanding the meaning.

He had no choice but to enter into meditation again.

Quiet.

Quiet, silence, calm, tranquility.

One level is higher than another, but none of them is the sublimation of quiet.

What is quiet?

Li Chen closed his eyes tightly, holding the rosary in his hand, his mind focused.

What is quiet?

Quiet is quiet.

Quiet is no sound.

It is silent.

The sound of silence.

Silent?

Suddenly Li Chen opened his eyes and stared at the white lotus in front of him.

He dared not move again.

The sound of silence? !

The flower bloomed silently!

In an instant.

The world seemed to be still.

The motionless monk.

The motionless flower.

Between heaven and earth, there was only a pair of motionless eyes, glowing with an inexplicable spirit.

Time passed slowly.

The monk did not move.

The flower did not move either.

Only those eyes had more light.

The only living light.

What is the sound of silence?

The sound of silence is concentration.

It is selflessness.

It is...

Waiting!

It is right now.

The faint snow lotus twists its branches, and the flower buds slightly open their tender leaves.

The flawless white petals stretch out, blooming with infinite grace.

Suddenly, the Buddhist room is filled with fragrance.

The bell rings.

The perception of "quiet" in these two chapters is purely Moonlight's own imagination.
