The Legend of Immortal Yun

( ) “Good question!”

Li Yun praised, and then said: "Actually, Xiao Zhu has already given the answer in his teaching class, but although the answer has come out, there are probably only a few people who can understand it..."

"Really?! What answer did he give?" Xiong Bing asked anxiously.

"The method of painting is self-reliance." Li Yun said.

"This..." Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. What does this mean? Could it be that the painting techniques mentioned by Zhu Ruoji can all be established by oneself?

Obviously it cannot be so shallow, but how should we understand this answer?

Li Yun looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Xiao Zhu has long known that you listeners will have this reaction, so he said, 'Seeing is for gods, hiding is for people, and the world doesn't know why.'" ,hehe!"

Xiong Bing asked shamelessly: "Sir, what does he mean by 'seeing is for gods, hiding is for people'?"

Xiangyun sighed: "Oh, can't Xiao Zhu speak properly? Why don't you say everything he wants to say carefully one by one, but you have to say such words that make people feel like they are in the clouds?"

"This is because enlightenment and enlightenment are achieved by oneself! If he tells what he has understood one by one, he is not talking about the great way, but his own way, and the listeners are not interested in him. So what if they understand that painting path very clearly? No matter how hard they try to learn it, they can't surpass Xiao Zhu, right? Because that path is his own path, how can others become him?" Li Yun smiled. road.

"Oh my god, it turns out that what Xiao Zhu is talking about is the avenue of painting?!" Xiangyun suddenly realized.

"It should be said that it is close to the Dao, but given his age and level, it is really commendable to be able to teach such a Dao!" Li Yun nodded.

"Wow!!!" Everyone exclaimed. If Zhu Ruoji heard such a comment from Li Yun, he would definitely be extremely excited, right?

They really didn’t expect that Zhu Ruoji’s theory of painting was close to the Dao of Painting. It seems that Zhu Ruoji’s ability to become one of the top experts in the Xingyun Castle civilization was not a fluke, but a person with real talent and learning. In fact, They also knew that those who could stand out in the Xingyun Castle civilization were all the proud ones of heaven, but they did not expect Zhu Ruoji to be close to the great road...

Everyone was really envious of Zhu Ruoji. They thought that they had joined Li Yun's sect and entered the Xingyun Castle civilization much earlier than him, but they could not reach the same level as him in Taoism. Moreover, like There are a lot of powerful people like Zhu Ruoji in Xingyun Castle.

These people have accumulated a lot of experience and are able to take advantage of others. One by one, they surpass the old people like themselves and reach a level beyond their own reach...

Of course, it’s not that people like me haven’t made progress, it’s just that the level of progress is so far behind that of real geniuses like them, it’s unbearable to witness...

It can be said that these people here have all experienced the feeling of being beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind. For them, the reason why they are somewhat famous in Xingyun Castle now is probably due to the favor of the castle owner and his slaves. I am here to support you as a beloved maid, otherwise I am afraid I will lose miserably if I compare myself with others!

On the contrary, Xiong Bing's calligraphy and Wang Yi's tea ceremony have developed well, and in the eyes of others, they are truly talented. Otherwise, Xiong Bing's calligraphy would not have become a priceless treasure, and Wang Yi would be invited to teach Taoism from time to time. The lecturer lectures on tea ceremony, but currently they are unable to occupy the top position in the castle in the fields they are good at. Someone has already surpassed them and firmly occupied the forefront, and there are many pursuers behind...

Li Yun understands the mood of these people, but he has nothing to do. These things depend on talent, which is what Zhu Ruoji calls enlightenment. If there is no talent, the speed of development will naturally slow down after reaching a certain height. Down, until it comes to a standstill…

He went on to say: "'Seeing is for gods, hiding is for people.' The 'seeing' here is the 'seeing confusion' view of Zen. The so-called 'god' refers to the human spirit. Because the human spirit is affected by the world, Contaminated by false views, five kinds of 'confusion' will arise, namely: side view, body view, warning view, view-taking view, and wrong view. However, one's own original mind is gone. With such a mind full of confusion, , it is impossible to reach the ethereal state, and it is impossible to establish a method of painting. "Zang" is derived from the "Zang" in the Zen Tao "all dharmas are hidden in one dharma". The one that Xiao Zhu said is called The heart, and all dharmas are hidden in this heart. If you have a delusional mind, how can you see this one hidden in your heart? Therefore, what Xiao Zhu said about "applying to people" refers to people's understanding. The method of painting requires understanding. It is difficult for the world to understand this truth. Therefore, Xiao Zhu said, "The world does not know why"...Here, Xiao Zhu also pointed out the importance of understanding. If the understanding is not high, it is difficult to understand. His answer is, 'The method of painting is self-establishment'!"

"It's true..." Everyone felt dizzy after listening to it, and they felt that their thinking could hardly keep up with the rhythm of Li Yun's speech. The main reason was actually that everyone did not study Zen deeply, or had no contact with Zen at all. Tao, so it is not only difficult to understand the difficult words Zhu Ruoji said, but also difficult to follow Li Yun's statement of turning difficult things into simple things...

Wang Yi squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then asked: "Sir, what do you mean by Xiao Zhu's saying that 'the method of painting is self-establishment'?"

"Well, the key point of this sentence is how to understand the word 'I'. According to Zen Taoism, there is a difference between 'I' and the big self and the small self. The big self is the enlightened self, and the small self is the biased and delusional self. Got. Those who have a greater self must obtain the 'mind method', that is, visibility. Those who see nature can establish a method of painting. On the contrary, it is difficult to establish a method of painting!" Li Yun explained.

"Wow!!!" Everyone exclaimed again. It turns out that it is only through the greater self obtained after enlightenment that one can obtain the inner Dharma and understand one's inner nature. As long as this state is reached, one can create a painting method...

This shows that the importance of ‘enlightenment’ is simply outrageous!

Wang Yi sighed: "I seem to be starting to understand what Xiao Zhu said about the fact that the heart is one..."

Li Yun praised: "Very good! Xiao Zhu finally said, 'Those who establish the method of one painting cannot create a method, because there is a method to connect all the methods, and the painting is based on the heart.' Here it means that one can establish the method of the heart. If you want to achieve this state, you must first establish the 'mind'. Because there is no state without mind, and there is no mind without state. Only when the mind and state are dependent on each other can we see the ground. The 'ground' mentioned here, It refers to the 'heart and ground', which is the source of all dharmas. The 'people who follow the heart' that Xiao Zhu talks about refer to people who understand the truth that 'the heart is one'. Those who have reached this state can achieve the goal of 'covering the ground'. "There is law out of nothing, and you can do whatever you want."

"In this way, we must first understand the greater self, then obtain the mind Dharma, reach the state of understanding the mind, seeing the nature, and connecting the heart and the earth. Finally, we can establish a painting method based on the mind Dharma, and then create all kinds of dharmas to the ethereal realm where we can do whatever we want... "Wang Yi thought.

Li Yun praised: "Good summary! If Xiao Zhu hears you say this, he will definitely become a confidant..."

"Haha, little slave, I only get the appearance, but not the essence. If Xiao Zhu asks a few more questions, I'm afraid I will reveal the truth..." Wang Yi said awkwardly.

"Well, if you don't want to reveal your secrets, then tell him more about the principles of Zen. In fact, Zen is closer to the Tao in some aspects. If you can study more, it will help you improve your Taoism. Very helpful..." Li Yun said.

"Giggles, thank you for the reminder, sir! It seems that my little maid is already somewhat confident in talking to Xiao Zhu!" Fairy Xiangyun said with a sweet smile.

Li Yun took out a jade slip and said: "Here are some of Xiao Zhu's quotations on painting. I have made more detailed annotations on them. I believe it will be helpful for you to understand his painting. Each of you can make a copy. Bar…"

"Wow! Thank you, sir!!!" Everyone couldn't help but get excited upon hearing this and quickly thanked him!

They knew that this jade slip was definitely a treasure. With Li Yun's level and Zhu Ruoji's achievements, the two swords combined together made this annotation a rare thing in the world...

Xiangyun took it excitedly, quickly made a copy, gave everyone a piece, kept a piece for herself, and then handed the original back to Li Yun...

Li Yun smiled and said: "You are being punished during this period, so you can study Xiao Zhu's painting quotations with all your heart. As for the others, just make your own arrangements. Don't delay other things by studying this quotation." "

"Don't worry, sir!" Everyone responded quickly.

"Well, now another batch of human mortals are about to be shipped over. Go pick them up and come back after arranging their transformation!" Li Yun said.

"Yes! Sir!" Shen Youxi and others responded loudly, quickly stood up and left...

Li Yun looked at the light and shadow around him, and suddenly found that the Thai star spirit was calling him, so he responded: "I'm here, what's the matter?"

When Tailao Xingling heard this, he said anxiously: "Xiaoliu, have Shi Du and Simba left? I don't dare to go out now!"

"Haha, they have already left and are on their way to Tai Lao's capital. You can stay in the cave with peace of mind, or you can come to my side."

"I see! I don't want to stay in the cave in the core of the earth right now. It's too dangerous! It's much safer to go to your place, haha!" The star breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"Then come and watch the show! It's a pity that you have missed a good show!"

"What's the show?!" Star Spirit asked urgently.

"The space fleet group of the Naxi Sai tribe bombed the poisonous people's underground base in the Tianjue Desert. The scene was quite exciting..." Li Yun said with a smile.

"Wow! Duoduo actually flew the space army to the planet?!!!" Tai Lao Xingling was shocked!

"Yes! But when they flew in, none of the Tailao tribes noticed it, but now the Tailao tribe should know about it soon!"

"Oh? Have Yan Wei and the others noticed Tianjue Desert?!"

"That's not true, but because Shi Du and Simba are going to the capital to spread this information..."
