Chapter 2000: Smile of Smugness

Whether it was Gu Qingfeng or Mo Wentian, both of them had heard this sentence and knew its meaning.

There is no such thing as benevolence or unkindness in heaven and earth. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things without any desire to get any reward.

Heaven and earth treat all things the same. No one is particularly good or particularly bad. Everything develops naturally. In other words, no matter what all things become, it is their own behavior and has nothing to do with heaven and earth. Heaven is still doing heaven's business, and earth is still doing earth's business. Everything is like the wind blowing into the night, moistening things silently, and heaven and earth are the most natural. but.

Heaven and earth are like this, and saints are no exception.

This is also true that Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature.

only.

Neither Gu Qingfeng nor Mo Wentian knew that the saying that the world is unkind and treats all living things as straw dogs and the saints are unkind and treats all living beings as straw dogs has anything to do with trust and distrust.

Monk Daxing Diao explained: "Below the saints are all ants. The saints don't care about our life or death at all, because after becoming a saint, there is no so-called good and evil, let alone any emotions, just like the way heaven and earth treat all things. , It doesn’t matter whether you are kind or unkind.”

"Although the resurrected ancestors of our Zen sect have not yet become saints, they have been practicing Buddhism for a long time. They have long been empty of the four elements and the six roots are pure. This is not only true for our Zen sect ancestors, but also for all the great ancestors. I don't care about the life and death of Zen sect. It means they will care. Not only will they not care, but I can definitely tell you that after cultivating to their level, there will be only one obsession in your mind, and that is to pursue the true meaning of the Dao. If you can pursue the Dao, let alone Even if they kill us Zen disciples, they won’t frown even if they kill their own parents.”

"Do you two understand what I mean?"

Gu Qingfeng and Mo Wentian nodded.

They all understood.

As Daxing Diao Monk said, it's not that he doesn't trust those Zen ancestors, but that the cultivation level of the Zen ancestors has gone beyond the scope of trust, because whether you trust or not will not affect those Zen ancestors. What the ancestors did.

"Dahang."

Mo Wentian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "You have been cultivating Buddhism for a long time, right? With your level of cultivation, even if it is not as good as those ancestors, it is definitely not far behind. Their four elements are empty and their six roots are quiet. For If you seek the Dao, you won’t care about things outside yourself. Why do you care? They cut off the seven emotions and six desires. Are you confused?”

“The seven emotions and six desires cannot be cut off just by cutting them off, nor can they be cut off by cutting them off.

"The mad monk responded: "If the seven emotions and six desires were really so easy to cut off, they would have become saints long ago. What's more, the pursuit of the true meaning of the Tao is itself a kind of desire. How to cut it off? "

"It is well known that the seven emotions are easy to cut off, but the six desires are difficult to cut off." Mo Wentian said: "But the problem is, as far as I know, you have been cultivating so far, not that you can't cut off the seven emotions and six desires, but that you have never done so, right? ?”

Monk Da Xing did not hide anything and said bluntly: "That's right! That's indeed what happened."

"Why? Is it difficult for you not to want to become a saint like those ancestors? Pursue the true meaning of the great road?"

"Who among those who practice doesn't want to become a god? Who doesn't want to pursue the true meaning of the Great Dao? Of course I do too, but the true meaning of the Great Dao is too illusory. So far, no one knows what the true meaning of the Great Dao is, and no one knows it. I can tell you clearly that I am a very pragmatic person. If I don’t even know the true meaning of the Great Dao, why should I pursue it?”

Da Xing Diao Monk said: "As for becoming a saint, haha! I do think about it too. However, if the price of becoming a god is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, then I would rather not become a god than become a saint. I would rather be a sentient being. I want to be a humane secular living Buddha, but I don’t want to be a heartless and humane enlightened saint.”

"I would rather be a secular living Buddha than a holy Buddha. That's right!"

Mo Wentian praised: "You are worthy of being a living Buddha in the world. His realm is extraordinary."

"Come on, don't be so rude to me." Daxing Mad Monk stared at Mo Wentian and asked: "Then again, as far as I know, you have never killed the seven emotions and six desires in your practice, right? Why don't you? cut?"

"I practice Mo Wentian because I enjoy the process of self-transcendence that carries the joys and sorrows of separation and separation. It is not to pursue the so-called becoming a god or a saint, nor to pursue the so-called true meaning of the great road. What I pursue is the process of practice. , rather than the result of practice.”

Da Xing Dian Monk nodded and murmured: "What we pursue is the process of practice, not the results." After a moment of reflection, he gave Mo Wentian an appreciative look and sighed: "Boy Mo, oh boy Mo, your state of mind He’s taller than Lao Na.”

Mo Wentian smiled helplessly and said, "That's too much praise for Mo."

"I didn't praise you."

Then the mad monk looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked: "Gu boy, what about you, why haven't you eliminated the seven emotions and six desires so far in your practice? Others may not know, but I know that you, the boy, have transcended so many great ways, and you have transcended so many ways. You have lost yourself, but you only have a heart full of emotions and desires. Why? What’s the matter, is it difficult for you to be like Mr. Mo, who only pursues the process of cultivation and has no interest in the true meaning of the Tao? "

"I?"

Gu Qingfeng lay on his back on a chair, crossed his legs, and drank a small drink leisurely. When the Daxingluo monk asked this question, he shrugged, shook his head, and said: "To tell you the truth, my practice is right. I’m not interested in becoming a god or a saint, and I’m not interested in the true meaning of the Great Way. As for the process of cultivation, I’m not very interested either.”

"Then why do you want to practice?"

Next to him, Mo Wentian was also quite curious. He also wanted to know the reason for Gu Qingfeng's practice.

"Your question really stumped me. When it comes to what I practice, I don't do anything. Everyone practices, so I practice too. I don't think about why I practice. It's like everyone They are all alive, and so am I.”

Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin, thinking hard, and said: "If I have to say what I practice, it may be for survival, or for immortality, or for eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying life. You know, we are a A common person, and a very common kind at that. A common person doesn’t have any big pursuits, he just wants to live a casual life. After all, it’s better to die than to live in vain.”

"If you have reached your level of cultivation, you can be considered a strange flower. I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone like you in the past."

The monk Da Xing shook his head and sighed, and said: "However, even if I don't want to, I have to admit that your boy's seemingly vulgar and confused attitude towards practice is actually a lack of desire and pursuit. In your state, It’s really damn high.”

"There is emotion and lust, there is no desire or pursuit, just letting nature take its course is the state of inaction." Mo Wentian also followed up and said: "My old brother, this kind of state of mind is really enviable to me."

"How's it going? Is your level high? Are you envious?"

Gu Qingfeng was not modest at all. Instead of being modest, he laughed out loud and proudly, saying: "Don't say you two envy me, even I envy me! Hahahahaha!"

Seeing this scene, Da Xing Madang secretly cursed him for being shameless, while Mo Wentian was also very speechless.

Of course.

At this moment, a mighty roar suddenly came from the sky.

"Da Xing, you old bald ass, get out of here, grandpa!"
