Chapter 547: The Highest Realm, Heavenly Man Zhang Zhiwei

The God of Heavenly Peng will come, and under the suppression of his eight arms, the ancestral hall of Fengyang Town has become a pile of rubble and ruins.

In the ruins, a person with a horrible appearance, like a skeleton with flesh and blood, sat cross-legged. In some places, the flesh and blood could no longer cover it, revealing the crystal clear bones with a faint golden glow.

Due to the aftermath of the battle, the head of the Wang family, the head of the Lu family and others who walked far away quickly turned back.

For the battle to end so quickly, Lu Ci and Lu Jin felt that it was natural, but the head of the Wang family and the head of the Lu family were a little unbelievable. When they were in Mindu, their people had surrounded Wu Man and knew this person's methods...

Now that they think about it, even if they have overestimated Zhang Zhiwei, they still underestimated him.

The head of the Wang family stared at the skeleton-like Wu Man. Logically speaking, the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. He should rush over to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

But inexplicably, the moment he rushed over and saw Wu Man, the murderous intent and hatred in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot. He couldn't say why this change happened. Was it because he felt relieved when he saw his enemy in such a miserable state?

The head of the Wang family said to himself, without any interruption, just standing behind Zhang Zhiwei and watching quietly.

Not only him, but also the head of the Lu family, Lu Ci, Lu Jin and others made the same choice.

"Have you realized it?"

Zhang Zhiwei said to the flesh and blood skeleton in front of him. He was actually a little surprised about Wu Man's enlightenment. As far as he knew, Wu Gensheng had made a lot of efforts to make Wu Man realize the truth.

As for how Wu Gensheng did it...

There is a sentence in "To Kill a Mockingbird" that you can never really understand a person unless you walk around in her shoes and think about problems from her perspective. But when you really walk her way, you even feel sad to pass by.

Sometimes what you see is not the truth, and what you know is just the tip of the iceberg, unless you stand in the other person's perspective and experience it yourself.

In order to help Wu Man, Wu Gensheng shaved his head and became a monk, wearing the same clothes as Wu Man. The two practiced together inseparable, allowing Wu Man to see herself with the wisdom in his words and deeds, and thus realize the truth.

This is a long process, and Zhang Zhiwei knows this process.

But he didn't mean to do so, and he didn't think much about reminding Wu Man. The purpose of his trip was to kill Wu Man.

The reason why he said so much was not because he had any compassion, but just because he was a person... He was so talkative, and his nature was like this. There was no way. If someone asked, he had to respond, right? !

"I understand, the little Tianshi's attack just now was really a revelation!"

Even though Wu Man's body was severely broken and almost turned into a skeleton with flesh and blood, his spirit was unprecedentedly high.

The bloodshot in his eyes disappeared, without any turbidity, and they were as clear as the starry sky at night.

He looked at Zhang Zhiwei, and the flesh on his face twitched.

This action should have been extremely hideous and terrifying on his bloody face.

But when he did it, it gave people a feeling of gentle breeze, as if he was smiling at a flower.

"In the past, I thought chanting Buddha was Buddhism, meditation was Buddhism, means were Buddhism, and worshiping Buddha was Buddhism... But in fact, these are all demonic obstacles."

"The Buddha said that the sea of ​​suffering is endless and turning back is the shore, but where is the shore? There is no need to turn back, now is the shore, everything should be let go, the shore is here, thank you little Tianshi!"

"That's really congratulations, but you don't need to thank me!" Zhang Zhiwei looked at Wu Man with an indifferent expression, "Any last words? Or, have you realized the means to turn life and death around?"

Although the Qi around Wu Man was as fragile as weeds in the strong wind at this moment, the feeling he gave Zhang Zhiwei was very different from before.

Without mentioning the means and supernatural powers, Wu Man gave Zhang Zhiwei the feeling that he was a real person before, but now, Wu Man seemed a little empty in his senses.

The word "empty" is mostly a Buddhist term. If it is replaced by Taoist terms, it is a little "empty".

This "empty" is not the commonly said kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, etc., but the "empty" in refining the spirit and returning to the void, refining the void and merging with the Tao.

This is a transition of realms. In practice, apart from the strange and lewd skills of magic, in the real realm of practice, the merits are often high, that is, high without limit.

Although Zhang Zhiwei's strength is boundless, no matter how many Lu Jin and Lu Ci can't beat him, but if it is really compared to the realm, he is only a few levels higher than them.

Now Wu Man has realized the Tao and his realm has risen by one level, Zhang Zhiwei wants to test his edge.

Wu Man looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said without joy or sadness:

"The means to turn the tables of life and death? There is no fixed thing in the true Buddhism, the true ignorance, and the true enlightenment. If you realize a fixed thing, such as magical powers and strange skills, then it is wrong."

He put his hands together: "There is really nothing, the body is gone, even the feeling is gone, so the five aggregates are empty, even the light is gone, the color is gone, everything is unattainable, this is the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, the great enlightenment."

Zhang Zhiwei still looked indifferent. He actually understood Wu Man's words, but this was Wu Man's way, not his way, and it was useless to him. He just listened to it. If he really went into it, it would be a delusion.

The people behind him had different expressions. The head of the Lu family and others did not understand Buddhism and did not know its meaning, but they just felt it was powerful.

The head of the Wang family's face changed drastically. He was a descendant of the sage of calligraphy, well-read, and had knowledge of the three religions. He knew what Wu Man meant.

"Anuttara Samyaksambodhi" is a Sanskrit word, meaning the highest enlightenment, that is, the highest wisdom and enlightenment. How could Wu Man understand this?

"Donor Wang, because of me, the old gentleman died. I have no way to repay you, so I will recite a sutra!"

Wu Man opened and closed his mouth. Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like a huge bell, resounding in everyone's mind:

"Thus I have heard: Once, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Grove in the country of Savatthi, with 1,250 great bhikkhus. At that time, the World Honored One, at mealtime, put on his clothes and held a bowl, and went into the city of Savatthi to beg for food..."

"At that time, the elder Subhuti. Among the crowd. He immediately stood up and draped his right shoulder..."

"What is this bastard muttering? Although I don't understand it, it feels very powerful!" Lu Ci whispered.

"This is the Diamond Sutra, which is extremely special and difficult to understand among Buddhist scriptures. It contains the great wisdom of the Buddha. When a person is about to die, his words are good. Listen carefully, maybe we can gain something!" The head of the Wang family whispered.

"Subhuti, if there is a way, the Tathagata will obtain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, and the Light Buddha will not give me the prediction. You will become a Buddha in the next life. Named Sakyamuni."

Wu Man's chanting sound is endless, like the collision of metal and stone, shocking people.

"There is no way to attain the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi. Therefore, the Buddha Dipamkara gave me a prophecy, saying, 'You will become a Buddha in the next life, and be called Sakyamuni. Why?'"

"All dharmas should be known, seen, believed, and understood in this way, without giving rise to dharma-images. Subhuti, the dharma-images mentioned by the Tathagata are not dharma-images. They are called dharma-images."

The chanting continued for a long time, but the flesh-and-blood skeleton sitting cross-legged in the ruins lowered its head, and its eyes, as clear as the sea of ​​stars, slowly disappeared.

It is fine to die in the evening after hearing the truth in the morning, Wu Man died.

Zhang Zhiwei stared at Wu Man's body and felt the innate roundness slowly dissipating.

Wu Man had realized the truth, and he could actually try to turn the tables, but he didn't try and died quietly.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Ci and others were still immersed in the afterglow of the scriptures.

They actually didn't understand anything, but they seemed to have gained something, but they couldn't say what they had gained specifically.

This feeling of seeing flowers in the fog is really uncomfortable.

"Brother Zhang, why did the messy scripture just now keep saying "Ru Shi Ru Shi"? What do these two words mean?"

Lv Ci asked with a puzzled look on his face. The two words he heard the most and impressed the most were "Ru Shi".

Zhang Zhiwei explained: "In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a famous prostitute named Liu Ru Shi. Her surname was Liu. She used the two words "Ru Shi" in the Diamond Sutra..."

"Famous prostitute?" Even Lu Ci, who believed in Zhang Zhiwei's words, was muttering at this moment.

"Little Heavenly Master, don't mislead me, Lu Ci. Ru Shi is what Buddha said. It is translated into vernacular Chinese like this. Buddha is giving you a topic to ponder. This is called great enlightenment!"

The head of the Wang family said, stretched out his hand to close Wu Man's eyes, and then called the Wang family children in the town to collect Wu Man's body and bury it.

Although the Wang family members were puzzled, they still followed the order of the head of the Wang family and took away Wu Man's body.

"A grand funeral? Brother Wang, what do you think? You want to give this Quan Xing demon a grand funeral?" The head of the Lu family said with a puzzled look.

The head of the Wang family said: "Even if he was a Quan Xing demon before, he was not before he died. He was a high monk who had achieved enlightenment."

The head of the Lu family said no more. Adults have their own decisions. However, he felt that this encirclement of Wu Man was a bit empty. It felt like he clenched his fist and punched hard, but hit cotton.

However, the head of the Wang family was quite full. He looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said:

"Little Heavenly Master, I have a lot of doubts. There is a sentence in the scripture just now, 'All dharmas should be known in this way. See in this way. Believe and understand in this way. Do not give rise to dharma forms. Subhuti', what does this mean?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the head of the Wang family for a long time before speaking:

"Senior Wang, this sentence means that you should not create something in your mind. In your subconscious, do not give rise to a Buddha or a Tao form..."

"Because everyone understands Buddha and Tao differently, all of this is born from the heart, so So you should not generate Dharma images, do not look for them, and do not construct a concept of self-consciousness. "

The head of the Wang family still frowned: "The little Tianshi's understanding is actually the same as mine, but if you understand it this way, then isn't it contradictory to the next sentence of the scripture?"

"The next sentence of the scripture is 'Subhuti. The Dharma images mentioned are not Dharma images. The Tathagata said that they are called Dharma images'. How did the little Tianshi understand this sentence?"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "The Dharma images mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures are not Dharma images at all, so they are called Dharma images."

"Little Tianshi, I don't understand!" The head of the Wang family looked puzzled.

Zhang Zhiwei continued: "Senior Wang, you are obsessed with images. There are a lot of Taoist scriptures, and there are also a lot of Buddhist scriptures, such as the Three Collections and Twelve Divisions."

"Among them, there are all kinds of statements. Sometimes they say emptiness, sometimes they say existence, sometimes they say neither emptiness nor existence, and sometimes they say both emptiness and existence. Which one is right and which one is wrong? It's all bullshit!"

"Some specious and self-contradictory words, such as the phrase "the appearance of the law, that is, the appearance of the law, may be just for the convenience of speaking and preaching. The purpose is just to make you understand the truth. If you don't understand it, he will change it in another way, such as Said, so there is no definite answer.”

"This situation often happens when I am preaching to my brothers and sisters. They always record what I say and then grab a few points to eat it!"

After hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, the head of the Wang family kept changing his expression, seeming to understand.

What the head of the Lu family thought was that compared to the sages, the little Celestial Master was indeed as arrogant as the old Celestial Master said.

Lu Ci understood: "In other words, this kind of thing is totally bullshit, right? Just like just now, I asked Senior Brother Zhang what 'Ru Shi' meant. Senior Brother Zhang, you said it was the name of the famous prostitute Liu Rushi. Same, right?"

Zhang Zhiwei gave a thumbs up: "You can teach me!"

When Lu Ci said this, Lu Jin and Lu Ren, these reckless men, immediately stopped worrying.

The head of the Wang family, on the other hand, was still struggling, "I don't understand, I don't understand, it's hard to understand. If it's wrong, how can so many people regard it as a classic?"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him and finally said:

"Although the Diamond Sutra is profound, it is not a method of contemplation. It does not teach people to observe anything, and it does not involve internal cultivation methods. It should be a covering method to cover up the incorrect way. As for the correct way, it is What? You have to find it yourself.”

"This kind of covering method doesn't make any sense to me, but it may be something you can learn from, but there's no need to go overboard."

"If you cling to what the Buddha said, the five aggregates are empty, the four elements are empty, clinging to this, clinging to that, then you are clinging to the medicine and becoming sick, and you are clinging to it, just like Wu Man."

After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei turned around and left. Wu Man was dead. There was no point in staying anymore. It was better to go home quickly.

"Senior Brother Zhang, where are you going?" Lu Jin shouted from behind.

"It's over here, go back to Longhu Mountain!" Zhang Zhiwei's figure disappeared, but his voice came from afar.

"What about me? What about me? My master is still at Longhu Mountain!" Lu Jin shouted loudly.

"You have the armor and horse in hand, run back by yourself!"

The crane talisman is also broken, and there is no material for the time being, so it cannot be drawn. Zhang Zhiwei also walked, but did not use a horse.

Zhang Zhiwei stepped out of the town, and then he bumped into Wu Gensheng halfway.

Wu Gensheng came to see him alone. When he saw Zhang Zhiwei, he first folded his hands and bowed. This bow was not only for Wu Man but also for himself.

"Did you lose or win the bet on your life?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Brother Zhiwei takes action, so I naturally win." Wu Gensheng said with a smile.

After a pause, he asked cautiously: "Brother Zhiwei, layman, did he... wear it?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "I passed through, but he died too!"

"I'll die if I hear the truth in the morning, no loss at all!" Wu Gensheng said with a happy smile on his face.

"It's indeed not a loss. By the way, he recited a piece of the Diamond Sutra before his death. Although it has nothing to do with you, I think there is some content in it that you can listen to!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Wu Gensheng's expression became serious: "Brother Zhiwei, please speak!"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Subhuti, if there is a good man or a good woman, on the first day, give as much as the sand of the Ganges River. On the middle day, give as much as the sand of the Ganges River. On the next day, give as much as the sand of the Ganges River. So. For countless millions of kalpas, if someone has faith in this sutra, he will be blessed.”

"The general meaning is that if a person gives away his life to give away, and after infinite time, he just gives away and does not ask to take it back, this person will have great blessings."

"However, if there is a person who can achieve 'faith without rebelliousness', control his own nature, and trust his own mind and nature, then this person's merit will exceed the merit of giving with his body."

"That's it, farewell!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei didn't wait for Wugensheng's answer. He took a step forward tens of meters and disappeared in a few breaths.
