All Heavens Planes

"I didn't expect to climb Songshan Mountain in this Tang Dynasty!" Chen Chen looked up at the majestic scenery of Songshan Mountain, and couldn't help but recall scenes of the past in his heart.

Dongfang Bubai on the top of the extremely steep peak, Qiao Feng and Duan Yu on Shaoshi Mountain.At this moment, thinking about it, it feels like a world away.

A few miles ahead, Chen Chen's footsteps stopped.There are two mountain roads in front of you.One road leads to Shaoshi Mountain and the other leads to Taishi Mountain.

Chen Chen was hesitating which way to go, when a melodious sound of bells and drums came, and the empty mountain reverberated continuously.

"Is this a welcome?" Chen Chen felt relieved, no longer entangled in which way to go, and walked straight up to Shaoshi Mountain.

The green hills are always there, and only people and things are gone.After hundreds of years, there is almost no change on Mount Shaoshi.

Evening drums and morning bells are thought-provoking, and the melodious sound seems to have the effect of purifying the body and mind, making people feel peaceful after hearing it.

The bell rang louder and louder, and the Shaolin Temple was already in sight.The night was dark, and the pilgrims who believed in and worshiped the Buddha had already left the mountain, and the mountain gate was deserted.

Chen Chen looked at it intently, and muttered to himself, "The Shaolin in this period seems to be much smaller, and it doesn't occupy so many fields."

At this time, several monks guarding the mountain suddenly jumped out from both sides of the mountain gate, all holding white wax sticks in their hands.

A monk asked, "Who is your Excellency, and why did you visit our temple late at night?"

Another taller monk stood up, because he was young and vigorous, and his xinxing cultivation was not enough, so he shouted loudly without waiting for Chen Chen's answer, "Don't linger here, the temple does not welcome guests at night, leave quickly !"

Chen Chen frowned slightly, not wanting to waste any time with him, so he shifted his steps.In a blink of an eye, several people have jumped over and fell into the temple.

The few monks were shocked, they knew that they had encountered a master, and wanted to shout loudly to warn the fellow disciples in the temple, only to find that their bodies were frozen and unable to move, and everyone's acupoints had been sealed.

Chen Chen was quite familiar with the layout of the temple, and walked through the halls and halls with ease.The monks watching the night wandered around the temple, but none of them could notice Chen Chen's presence.

In the inner courtyard, a single-family attic stands in the corner. The windows on the ground floor reflect a little light like beans, and there is a hazy brilliance under the night.

The monks watching the night seemed to avoid this place on purpose, and no one came here to patrol, making this place extraordinarily deserted.

"The Sutra Pavilion..." Chen Chen smiled slightly. He just revisited his old place, wandering aimlessly in the monastery, and unexpectedly came to the Sutra Pavilion unconsciously.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..." The wooden fish sounded softly, which was extraordinarily attractive in this quiet environment.

"The honored guest is coming, please come in."

The slightly familiar gentle words came to Chen Chen's ears, which made him quite embarrassed. It was just a subconscious behavior to come to the Sutra Pavilion.At this time, being called broken by someone, I suddenly felt a guilty conscience.

Now that he was discovered, Chen Chen didn't hide any more. He approached in a big way, pushed open the door of the Sutra Pavilion and stepped in.

The first floor of the Sutra Pavilion is as in memory, rows of bookshelves are full of Buddhist scriptures, and a long table is placed against the wall.

At this time, there was an old monk sitting cross-legged by the table, flipping through Buddhist scriptures with one hand, and beating the wooden fish lightly with the other.

Chen Chen saw the old monk clearly, and immediately recognized him as Master Daoxin, one of the four famous holy monks in the world.

Master Daoxin stopped what he was doing, put the wooden fish and the Lengjiao Sutra aside, folded his hands together in eleven bows, and with a kind smile on his face, he said, "Amitabha, when I was meditating today, I suddenly had a sudden whim, and I predicted that there would be something tonight. When the nobleman arrives, I didn’t expect it to be the Venerable.”

"On a whim..." Chen Chen's mind twitched slightly, thinking to himself, Master Daoxin is indeed the fourth patriarch of the Zen sect that will be extolled by later generations.The practice of Buddhist meditation and mind is really unfathomable, and it has reached the point where God can foresee the future.

Master Daoxin stretched out his hand to invite Chen Chen to sit down.Immediately, he took out a bronzing roster and pushed it in front of Chen Chen, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is coming here, so let's make a list according to my Buddhist rules."

Chen Chen didn't know what the meaning of Master Xin's move was, and there was nothing wrong with it, he just signed it.Immediately brushed a few strokes and wrote his name on the roster.

Master Daoxin took back the roster and smiled with satisfaction.The slightly turbid eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, "Forgive me for saying too much, the Venerable seems to have distracting thoughts in his heart, and he is not very peaceful."

Chen Chen was startled when he heard the words, but he didn't hide it immediately, and said frankly, "To be honest, I will have a decisive battle with Xiang Yutian at the Fengchan Terrace in two days. This battle is very uncertain, and my mind will inevitably be a little confused."

"Evil Emperor Xiang Yuxuan! Is he still alive?"

Master Daoxin stood up quickly, then sat down slowly, and sighed, "Yes, since the lord can come to the world, why can't the evil emperor live until now? People in the demon sect are used to tricks of ghosts and ghosts, and those who escaped by feigning death, There are not a few of them.”

Master Daoxin's face was serious, and after a while he said, "The old man once heard that the evil emperor has cultivated the magical power of the magic sect to Yu Tian, ​​and the Dao Heart Planting Demon Dafa. This method is specifically aimed at the opponent's mind, and if there is a slight omission, he will take advantage of it." And enter, and seize a lifetime of penance."

Chen Chen nodded and said, "The dao heart breeds demons, which are mysterious and secretive. Taking people's experience and skills is just one of their uses. If there is no proper way to deal with them, they will definitely be controlled by them."

Master Daoxin clasped his hands together, and said in a low voice, ""May I ask the Venerable Master how much he has achieved in one way of heart?" "

Chen Chen hesitated for a while, and said, "The exercises I practice combine the strengths of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and I pay attention to the meaning of Taoism and Zen. Taoism connects the heaven and the earth, and the movement of true energy is endless. Dharma, impermanence, joy, appearance, and purity, these are the four realms of my mind that I cultivate."

"Amitabha, the World Honored One became a Buddha standing under the mother-in-law tree, and possesses great wisdom."

Master Daoxin clasped his hands together to pay homage to the Buddha.He also said, "The venerable's meditation method is quite similar to Master Jiaxiang's Kuchan Xuangong, but it is more mysterious. Everything is impermanent, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and all living beings and all appearances are self-images. I am neither born nor destroyed."

Chen Chen sincerely praised, "Master's Dharma is profound, and his words are concise and to the point. In a few words, he expressed the essence of my meditation method."

Daoxin smiled and said, "I still have some experience in cultivating the mind, would your lord listen to it?"

Chen Chen got up and straightened his body, bowed in eleven ceremonies, and said solemnly, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"Please sit down, my lord. It's not about teaching. It's just my Buddhist disciples discussing with each other on Buddhism."

Master Daoxin suppressed his smile, and said solemnly, "If you want to cultivate your mind, you must know your mind. May I ask what is your mind?"

What is the heart?Although Chen Chen has practiced, he has never thought about such a problem so carefully. At this time, his thoughts turned, and he blurted out, "Thousands of thoughts, thousands of thoughts, come from the heart and stop at the heart. The heart is me. The original self As such, such is the self, all actions and deeds are based on the mind.”

"It makes sense..." Master Daoxin nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and continued, "If everything is ideal, is everything illusory?"
