Chapter 413 Escape into Buddhism
Meng Lang looked at the autobiography on the table, and the figure laughing wildly in the sea of fire appeared in his mind, as if he saw his own future...
[花开二生] Face, life among Buddhas and demons...
Human nature has two sides.
The Buddha said, to be kind, I will use compassion to save all sentient beings and let them be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss to be with me.
The devil said, "If you want to be evil, I will use evil spirits to destroy all living beings and make them fall into the Avici Hell and become my servants."
You are very conflicted and don’t know who to listen to?
When you ask me, it is your heart, and when I answer you, it is my heart.
Everywhere is your original mind, and it is your original Buddha. Even if your heart is a Buddha, it is also like this...]
Some religious concepts in the "Huayan Sutra", It expresses Xue Huaiyi’s reflections and insights on the ending of life.
The "Huayan Sutra" handwritten by the empress in the Buddha's head is not a traditional scripture.
But an ancient man who got this autobiography tried to use religious concepts such as "inner demons", "reincarnation", "one flower and one world, one leaf and one bodhi" to try to understand the book in his hand. This "heavenly book".
And Xue Huaiyi became a monk halfway, of course not because he was bald to be stronger, but just to save himself...
After all, a thousand years ago, there was no CT, no MRI, no EEG, and no various A psychotropic drug that allows people to go from "cracked" to "healed"...
If you want to solve your own mental problem of "premature rupture", you can only defeat magic with magic and start from the spiritual level.
Choosing to study Buddhism was not due to a sudden illness and seeking medical attention, but rather because of historical origins.
Today’s people study the ancients, and the ancients study the more ancient people.
Meng Lang, a thousand years later, studied his "predecessors" just as Xue Huaiyi, a thousand years ago, studied the "predecessors" of his "predecessors".
The purpose is nothing more than to obtain some "experience in using this book" from the "predecessors"...
The "predecessors" who got this book before Xue Huaiyi happened to be They are two eminent monks!
To talk about the love and hatred between this book and "Chinese Buddhism", we have to talk about the "historical chronicle" in the second half of this book...
...< br>
According to the "historical text" obtained by Comrade Xue's archeology.
Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the knowledge system and productivity were relatively backward at that time, human beings still maintained awe of nature.
Including "He Tu", "Luo Shu", "Tai Gong Yin Fu", "Taiping Yaoshu" and other legendary heavenly books, most of the derivatives are Taoist classics.
For example, the famous "Book of Changes" and "Huangdi Neijing", as well as Tai Chi Bagua, Yin Yang and Five Elements, fortune divination...
About this book, more mysterious and mysterious Taoist myths and legends are spread.
After the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, this book was lost for a long time.
What followed was the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Five Husbands' Rebellion. The land of China sank for hundreds of years. It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that this book finally reappeared in the world...
That's right... ...The one who got it was Bodhidharma, the "Founder of Zen Buddhism"!
Bodhidharma was not interested in military strategy, economics and politics, but devoted himself to studying the secrets of the human body...
After living in a cave for nine years, his personal force value almost reached the peak of mankind, becoming one of the most powerful people in the world for thousands of years. The first master of energy transformation!
From the fact that someone can cross the river with a reed, it can be seen that this guy has the ability to control his own body and has already understood fluid mechanics without any teacher...
Dharma also had other problems in his later years. A story of "just returning to the west"...
This may be the only time that the fragments of this book leave the land of China and fall into the hands of aliens!
That's right, it's just a scrap!
What Bodhidharma holds is the "Human Scroll" of "The Art of Taiping" that Hua Tuo obtained!
According to historical records, Hua Tuo finally died in prison because he offended Cao Cao. Before his death, he handed the "Qing Sang Jing" to a jailer. Unfortunately, it has been lost since then.
If Comrade Xue Huaiyi had studied archeology other than Shuishuo, then this "Book of Heaven"... might have been divided into two parts in history!
Zhuge Kongming obtained two volumes of "Heaven and Earth" and knew the general trend of the world and calculated the favorable time and place.
And Hua Tuo and Bodhidharma obtained the "Human Scroll" and were proficient in martial arts and medical skills, as well as the secrets of the human body...
Based on this functional division, Meng Lang has reason to guess that this so-called "Human Scroll" is very Maybe it’s the “Technical Appendix” section included at the end of each autobiography!
After all, "dying in prison" because of offending someone is really inconsistent with the persona of a "prophet."
It can only be shown that Hua Tuo has at least lost most of his ability to predict the future.
According to Xue Huaiyi, this "human scroll" was in the Western Regions during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
However, the Chinese treasure has been kidnapped. As the owner of the two volumes of China's orthodox "Heaven and Earth", what can he do?
Of course not!
So in the early Tang Dynasty, there was a vigorous "Road to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures"...
Yes... Tang Xuanzang went to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
The real target... is actually the "Green Bag Sutra"!
Everyone knows the result.
As the owner of the two volumes of "Heaven and Earth" of the new generation, Tang Xuanzang relied on his intelligence ability to overcome dangers and traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an to Nalanda Temple, and finally retrieved the "Human Volume" of the Heavenly Book "!
Two volumes versus one, it is obvious that Master Xuanzang is playing a bigger trick here...
However, "Nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties" is probably just a literary rhetorical technique. Visual inspection of this process The sacrifice of "Master Xuanzang" may not be able to defeat even double figures...
"Master Wu Cheng'en...could he really be an insider..."
Meng Lang couldn't help but think about it.
After all, it is difficult for Meng Lang not to associate with the book "Journey to the West", whether it is the title or the many settings and descriptions in it...
No matter what, , "Raiders of the Lost Ark" Master Xuanzang traveled westward, went through many hardships, and finally reunited the Book of Heaven.
After he returned to the Tang Dynasty with perfect merit, this complete "Book of Heaven" finally fell into the hands of the "destined man" Xue Huaiyi...
Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty was born and died in 602-664 AD, and Xue Huaiyi is 662-695 AD, which is quite consistent in time!
It's just that Comrade Xue Huaiyi obviously had "mediocre qualifications" and was "overwhelmed" after only living to the age of 32!
Relatively speaking, his two "predecessors" lived quite a long time.
Historically, it is recorded that Bodhidharma lived to be 150 years old, and Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty was a little younger, at the age of 62, and also lived to the retirement age...
Coincidentally, these two are both eminent monks who study Buddhism intensively.
When Xue Huaiyi realizes that he is about to burst, do you think he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and try to solve his own problems?
It’s so difficult to study the mysteries of the universe. Who can’t do it by copying homework?
This is why Xue Huaiyi became a monk halfway, just to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and explore the possibility of extending his life...
It was precisely because the two eminent monks successively read this "heavenly book" Understanding and interpreting has officially started the reshaping of the world view of the heavenly books by the predecessors, "from Tao to Buddha"...
The so-called Tao follows nature, and Buddhism empties.
If "Tao" is the understanding of the external nature, then "Buddha" is more of an exploration of one's own human nature.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Bodhidharma integrated the philosophical thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism and created "Buddhism with Chinese characteristics"..."Zen"!
Zen Buddhism says that one flower and one world, one leaf and one Tathagata, one sentence is too much, and one sentence is wrong.
To sum it up in one sentence, it means "all four elements are empty"!
All kinds of laws in the world are all illusory. If you can know this, your mind will not be moved.
It’s not the flag that moves, it’s just the heart that moves.
The mirror has no platform, so where can it cause dust?
In the Tang Dynasty, after Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions, he founded the "Consciousness Only Sect".
Consciousness-only sect believes that "all things are conscious only", and everything in the universe is realized by "consciousness".
Coincidentally, the two major schools that influenced the origin of Buddhism in China both agreed that only when "the four elements are empty" and "the mind has no distracting thoughts" can one become a "Buddha".
This is undoubtedly another way to solve the problem.
That is, in an ideal state, if the brothers' heads are all empty and all four elements are empty, then 0+0+0... is still equal to 0!
The perfect tool man! praise!
However, the requirements for mental state are a bit outrageous, and it also depends on qualifications.
Comrade Xue has gone into Buddhism, still at the age of 32...
【Ling~Ling~】
Just when his soul was wandering and his thoughts were flying to a thousand years ago, a notification sound suddenly brought him back to reality.
Meng Lang glanced at the cell phone on the table and found that it was Ning Shisan calling.
Let Zero open the voice-changing software and then connect to the communication.
Soon, Ning Shisan’s image appeared on the mobile phone screen.
【Hey! I have got the Buddha head back safely, what should I do next? 】Go straight to the topic from the opposite side.
"Well...you have a hammer at home, right?" Meng Lang was also very direct.
【Yes, what's the matter? 】
“That’s good, use a hammer, use a little force, and smash it!”
Ning Shisan: […]
For Meng Lang , compared with Xue Huaiyi's "experience", the historical value of a mere Buddha head is simply negligible.
In order to make full use of the information capacity, this episode is only given a "preface" in the book.
As for the detailed content of the scriptures, we still have to get it from the Buddha's head...
[Sorry, the signal may not have been very good just now. What did you just say? 】
“I said use a hammer, use a little force, smash it!”
The person on the other side was silent for a long time, then the word “#” popped up on his forehead, and he almost yelled shouted out...
[Are you kidding me? This is a national treasure!
Smashed? You think you are opening golden eggs!
Did we go to all the trouble to steal it just to smash it? 】
“Well... is it very difficult?”
Ning Shisan: […]
Is this such a difficult question? ?
【If this is your purpose, then I will refuse! I will find a way to return it to the museum as soon as possible! 】Ning Shisan is right and stern in his words.
It can be seen that the other party still has a conscience as a Chinese.
"That's it, then let me also send you the full video of how you stole the cultural relics from the museum?" Meng Lang suggested.
Ning Shisan: [……]
"Well... you still have three minutes to think about it." Meng Lang didn't have time to talk to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Shisan silently left the camera, and then came back with a hammer not long after.
Obviously, the other party has a conscience, but not much...
[Really smashed? 】
“Smash!”
[Since you want to smash it, why don’t you take it back and smash it yourself? Do you have to let me be the executioner? 】Ning Shisan looked resentful.
"Well... The lie is that it is convenient for transportation, but the truth is that I also feel some pain."
Ning Shisan: [...]
Next time, just trouble Telling lies...
The raised hammer failed to fall, and Ning Shisan was obviously struggling in his heart.
After all, if this hammer blows down, the national treasure... it will cost at least several hundred million... It is too wasteful...
"The other party is the relevant department... The other party is the relevant department..."
I can only continue to hypnotize myself in my heart, grit my teeth, endure the pain in my heart, and swing down with all my strength!
【Bang! 】Rubbles flying in front of the camera.
Five minutes later...
【This...what is this? ! 】
Ning Shisan looked shocked in front of the camera.
Who would have thought that a national treasure could actually win a big prize?
I saw a yellowed ancient book carefully wrapped in cowhide exposed inside... "The Avatamsaka Sutra"?
【Did you already know there was something in this? 】
Compared with the fact that there is a national treasure hidden in the national treasure, Ning Shisan was even more shocked that the other party actually looked like he had expected it...
But this Buddha head was clearly created a thousand years ago...
This is not scientific at all!
Is it possible that this one in my hand is also a fake? Has it really been dropped a long time ago?
But no matter in terms of appearance or material, this book does not look like a modern product?
Meng Lang looked at Ning Shisan, who was stunned on the spot with a question mark on his forehead, and just smiled.
"What? Don't you want to open it and take a look? There is a shocking secret hidden in it!"
Ning Shisan instinctively stretched out his hand, but when he was about to touch it, something unexpected happened. The ground retracted its hand.
[Forget it, curiosity killed the cat, I was just running errands...]
Meng Lang chuckled, this killer is a bit cautious...
In fact, if someone other than the user of the autobiography reads the things written in this sutra, even if they read it, they will only think it is a bunch of Buddhist sutras that are pretentious and incomprehensible.
Even the empress who copied it with her own hands may not know the real secret hidden in it...
As for the "history of the Heavenly Book" that is not recorded in the scripture, "Text", then we have to mention a certain family that has passed down secrets orally for thousands of years...
Even Meng Lang couldn't help but want to give them a thumbs up...
Thanks for their outstanding contributions to Chinese archeology!
[Ding dong! 】At this time, a doorbell suddenly sounded in the video, and Ning Shisan in front of the camera immediately became alert.
“Don’t be nervous, I called the courier guy, just pack the book and give it to him.” Meng Lang said with a smile.
【Well...I understand! 】
......
After the communication was terminated, the book was quickly delivered by courier in the same city to the express box in Yipinju Community...
During this period, Zero invaded the courier company's sorting system, changed the recipient and delivery address several times, and finally completely deleted the courier company's system records. Even the courier boy dialed a virtual number.
In less than half a day, Meng Lang got what he wanted from the express box.
I’m afraid Ning Shisan never thought that the “mastermind behind the scenes” was actually a city away from him...
All the surveillance cameras along the way were naturally hacked.
Even if someone wants to check, they can’t find out where this “ghost express” has gone...
Zhuge is only cautious in his life!
Learn from the past and guide the future.
When it comes to caution, Meng Xiaolang is no weaker than others!
......
For the next few days, Meng Lang stayed at home and concentrated on studying how to solve the "crack" problem...
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang, and the moment the door was opened, Lin Haitang who was standing at the door was stunned.
I saw Meng Lang with heavy dark circles under his eyes and a depressed look on his face. He was completely different from the energetic young man before!
"You...how did you become like this?"
Lin Haitang didn't know if it was intentional during this period, as he was on a business trip for several days.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he heard Xiao Yu say that his uncle's mental state was not right recently.
I suddenly forgot about food and sleep, and then I wanted to come over and see the situation.
I thought Xiaoyu was making a fuss, but she actually looked like she had lost her soul...
"Oh! Haitang, you're back. I'm fine. I just can't figure out something lately. .
I wanted to read a book to solve my doubts, but my mind was buzzing after reading it..."
Meng Lang said weakly.
After studying those mysterious and mysterious scriptures in the past two days, I realized that it was simply mental torture for an ordinary person like him.
So much so that he no longer cared about Lin Haitang's "illegal business trip".
"What kind of book can you read to see people like this?" Lin Haitang frowned.
Meng Lang did not hide anything, "Buddhist scriptures."
"Uh..." Lin Haitang was speechless for a moment, but couldn't help but ask one more question.
“Did something happen?”
Hearing the concern in Lin Haitang’s tone, Meng Lang smiled immediately.
"Yes! One day without seeing you is like three autumns apart...Have you never heard that missing is also a disease?
Oh! The thought of things you don't want keeps creeping into your mind.
But when I can't get what I want, I feel so tired.
Actually, I have been studying Buddhism seriously recently, considering whether to cut off my love and escape into Buddhism..."
Lin Haitang wanted to roll his eyes.
But Meng Lang's tone, for some reason, was a little serious...
Hey! Do you have to be so fragile inside? I can't explain it to Aunt Yang...
"Ahem! Go wash up and come over to eat first. I'll cook today."
Meng Lang felt happy.
For Lin Haitang to take the initiative to say such words, this level of enthusiasm is already full.
"Well...if you encounter any trouble and need our help, just say..."
After Lin Haitang said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey! Wait! I really need your help with something!" Meng Lang immediately hit the snake and followed it with a stick, smiling unceremoniously.
Lin Haitang stopped and turned his head.
"What's the matter?"
"You know I don't have a car, please be the driver and accompany me somewhere."
"Huh?" Lin Haitang suddenly Be alert.
Meng Lang looked at her with a smile.
"Don't worry! What I'm going to is not a place for romance!"
Lin Haitang: "..."
...
Hours later.
Lin Haitang raised his head and looked at the slightly shabby plaque above his head that read "Nanshan Temple", with a speechless expression on his face.
Well, this is indeed not a "place for romance"...
But why did he come to the temple?
You don’t really want to escape into Buddhism, do you?
While I was stunned, I saw an old monk wearing a yellow cassock slowly walking out of the temple.
Seeing Meng Lang and the two at the door, the old monk was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he came over with a look of surprise on his face and saluted with a smile.
"Amitabha! It turns out that donor Meng has come all the way, but he is not welcome at all!"
Meng Lang returned the gift with a smile.
"Long time no see, Master Smart..." (End of this chapter)
