Main Text Chapter 1790 I Am Afraid No One Can Succeed in Cultivation

It would have been fine if he hadn't been so focused. Once he continued to look at it, Bajie's expression immediately became a little abnormal. His eyes gradually became dull, and he stared at the painting intently, as if he had entered a state of confusion.

After waiting for a while, Miao Yi shouted, "Second Brother!"

As a result, Bajie didn't respond at all. Miao Yi stretched his head to take a look, and was shocked to see that Bajie was crying silently at this time, with tears constantly flowing from his eyes and down his cheeks. Miao Yi looked in the direction he was looking at, and roughly understood that Bajie was probably in the state he had once been in.

Having had this experience, Miao Yi knew that nothing would happen, so he didn't disturb him easily. He also hoped that Bajie could see some clues from this, but it was a little strange that Bajie was seeing a scene that made him cry so much. Bajie's eyes were confused with tears, and he didn't know which specific painting Bajie was looking at. He had had that experience and felt a little resistant when he recalled that feeling, and he didn't want to enter that painting again.

After waiting for a long time, Bajie shook his head sadly and sighed, with one or two sobs in between.

Miao Yi knew that he had woken up, and asked, "Second brother, is it what I said? What did you see?"

Bajie didn't seem to want to mention the situation in the painting, and shook his head, "Brother, I seem to understand something, let me take another look." He raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, turned slightly, and cast his eyes on another painting.

Hearing that he seemed to understand something, Miao Yi immediately fell silent, but didn't dare to disturb him easily.

However, the situation that happened to Bajie later gave Miao Yi goose bumps. Sometimes he saw Bajie being silent, sometimes he saw Bajie laughing crazily, sometimes he saw Bajie crying, sometimes he saw Bajie laughing, and sometimes he saw Bajie's cynical look.

In short, all kinds of creepy situations looked a bit weird. Miao Yi was afraid that he would go crazy and harm himself, so he flashed down the nine-layer lotus throne and stayed away from him.

A few days later, a deep sigh suddenly came from the lotus throne, which seemed to be filled with all kinds of complex emotions. Miao Yi looked up and saw that Bajie had closed his eyes and put his hands together and chanted: "Neither demon nor calamity, neither dwelling nor empty, without dust and dirt, do not follow, do not be angry or love, difficult to begin and difficult to end, pick a flower to you, like a dream..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, as if he was clearing his thoughts.

Miao Yi knew that Bajie had woken up, and flashed to the lotus throne again, but Bajie did not stop chanting.

After Bajie chanted that paragraph for more than ten times, he suddenly cast a spell and said: "Amitabha!" He ended it and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, and his face was holy.

However, the rumbling sound of his spell produced a continuous echo in the treasure house.

At first, the rumbling sound was Bajie's "Amitabha". After several echoes, the "Amitabha" actually changed its tone. The repeated sound turned into "Namo Amitabha".

"Namo Amitabha... Namo Amitabha... Namo Amitabha..."

Instantly, there seemed to be thousands of gods and Buddhas chanting the Buddha's name in unison. Miao Yi looked around in surprise, and seemed to hear the three tall Buddha statues chanting the Buddha's name. The difference in the strength of the sound seemed to be mixed with the ethereal sound from the past and the future. It was as if the sound of thousands of gods and Buddhas in the past, present and future chanting in unison crossed time and space and gathered here, filling this huge treasure house with a solemn and holy atmosphere.

Suddenly in this environment, Miao Yi seemed to have truly experienced the majestic, solemn, lofty and vast greatness of Buddhism. He was as small as a speck of dust in the infinite universe, and the identity of the netherworld commander was so insignificant.

Bajie had a peaceful expression, and seemed to be listening attentively, as if he was listening to the past, and also seemed to be listening to the future, giving people an extremely mysterious illusion.

I don't know how many times it was repeated. When the echo gradually faded into the darkness, the treasure house returned to peace.

"Huh!" Miao Yi let out a long sigh. The feeling just now seemed to have made him experience a physical and mental baptism that touched his soul, making him almost want to kneel down and worship. Turning back, he asked, "Bajie, did you figure out this noise?"

The sanctity on Bajie's face had disappeared, and he laughed and said, "Brother, you think too highly of me. I was just infected by the emotions in the painting. After finally emptying my mind and body, I still felt a little bit unable to extricate myself, so I decisively chanted a Buddhist name to cut off that thread of concern. It was an unintentional act, and I didn't expect this noise... Nanwumen seems to have spent a lot of effort to create this treasure house! It seems that this treasure house is indeed beneficial to practice."

Miao Yi understood it as soon as he heard it. Looking around, from the echo effect, the special structure of this treasure house is indeed magical. It really took a lot of effort to create it. I don't know how much effort Nanwumen put into it when building this treasure house.

"But I did figure out something." Bajie, who was looking around with emotion, suddenly added another sentence, and looked down at the lotus throne under his feet with a complicated expression, "I think I roughly understand the intention of this lotus throne standing in this position."

Miao Yi: "What do you mean?"

Bajie sighed with rare emotion and sat down cross-legged. "I didn't have a clue before and couldn't understand it. Now that I understand it, I found that it's actually quite simple. The pictures carved on the walls around here contain all kinds of things in the world. Sitting there On the high platform in the middle, you can have an unobstructed view of the carvings on the surrounding walls. No matter which way you face, you can see all kinds of things in the world. The so-called past, present, and future are all in the various ways of the world, and everything in the world cannot be escaped. In this painting, what you are sitting here facing is actually the past, present and future. It does mean that you can understand the world without leaving home. It is beneficial to the practice of Buddhist disciples. Now that I think about it, this treasure house of Namo Gate may have something to do with the precepts gate technique I practice. "

Miao Yi said in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Bajie was silent for a moment, then said in deep thought: "The "Great Enlightenment" that I practice focuses on complete enlightenment, and what I cultivate is the heart, and the paintings here are simply the best supplement to the techniques I practice, which can help with complete enlightenment. There is also the seal The opening chapter of "The Mind Technique on Blocking the Door" is the best proof. I just wonder how the practice skills of Namo Sect could go to the small world and become the practice skills of my sect. Why have I never heard of my sect? Have you ever experienced this?”

Listening to what he said, Miao Yi finally confirmed the cause-and-effect relationship between why that person decided to locate the final treasure location here and how he led Master Bajie and his disciples to the sealed place, which was to let him bring the people of the Jie Sect to the place of sealing. Get guided here.

Thinking of this, Miao Yi fell into thinking again. If he wanted to lead the people from the Jiemen here, why didn't that person directly lead the people from the Jiemen here instead of turning this corner? What is the purpose of leading people from the sect to the sealed place?

After thinking about it, Miao Yi, who gradually figured out the context, suddenly showed a look of enlightenment on his face. He seemed to understand something and stared at Bajie for a while.

"I now believe that there is nothing here originally. The treasures worthy of Nanwumen's collection are probably the carvings all over the wall." Bajie slowly stood up again and looked around at the murals and carvings. "These carvings and paintings are probably what condensed Nanwumen's collection." The hard work of Wumen’s eminent monks cannot be created by just one generation. This is Nanwumen’s priceless treasure!”

He suddenly became so serious when speaking. Miao Yi was not used to it and asked: "How can we confirm that it was done by the eminent monks of the Nanwu Sect?"

Bajie opened his arms and hugged all around, "A picture page is no more than the size of a palm, and a story is only a few picture pages. How many pictures are there in such a huge space? How many stories of joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the world are there? Although in practice, life is limited to a long time , but living longer also means spending more time in practice. I am afraid that a monk’s life experience may not be much more than that of an ordinary mortal. I dare to ask the stories of the world that I have seen after living for so long. Is there one or two in a thousand?"

Miao Yi scanned the surrounding area and estimated that the number of stories depicted here is estimated to be hundreds of thousands or even millions. One thousandth of the story experience is almost a thousand. He has never seen it in all his life. Having lived so many worldly stories, most of my time was spent in meditation and practice.

He shook his head and said, "No!"

Bajie stopped talking and pointed to the lower corner on the right side, "There is still a large blank space there. It must have been that the Nanwu Sect was destroyed before it was filled with stories. If it were true, it would have been long ago. The story that has been brewing, Nanwumen has existed for so many years, and it should be completed very quickly. This shows that the story of the paintings here is not fabricated. "

Miao Yi didn't care about this and asked: "Do you think these paintings are related to the so-called boundless Buddhist dharma hidden in Namo Gate?"

Bajie nodded silently and said: "Almost all the joys and sorrows, the joys and sorrows of the world, the joys and sorrows, the joys and sorrows of the world are here. These paintings do indeed cover all living beings. If you can really cultivate to the state shown here, maybe It’s really possible to cultivate the boundless Dharma that integrates the past, present and future, but I’m afraid no one can succeed in it.”

Miao Yi was surprised: "Why?"

Bajie suddenly burst into laughter, "Brother, haven't you tasted the feeling of entering this painting realm? Who really wants to understand all the paintings here, let alone all of them, even if they understand one or two out of ten, so many joys, angers, sorrows and joys are concentrated in one person. On the body, if you think about the consequences, it will probably drive people crazy. It is very likely that they will never get out of these paintings. It is difficult to fully realize it!"

Miao Yi took a breath. Thinking that this was really true, he couldn't help but ask: "How about Master Qijie's practice of the Buddha's enlightenment?"

"You mean the old bald donkey?" Bajie rolled his eyes, then laughed, "Brother, do you want to harm him or help him? I'm not saying anything bad about him, but his enlightenment is nothing but stubbornness. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's pedantic. He believed in a standard of "goodness" and firmly implemented it. He simply can't tell right from wrong. He's just a good guy from beginning to end. He has nothing to do with enlightenment. What does enlightenment mean? It means being able to take and let go. The old bald donkey didn't take it at all. How can I let go of it if I have experienced it? Let me give you an example. The demon monk Nanbo has been fighting with me for years. He has been talking to me but I still can’t enlighten him. When the old bald monk came, he surrendered to the old demon’s Dharma in a few seconds and even kowtowed to the old demon as his master. Fortunately, I knocked him out, otherwise it would be a lot of fun. With the old bald monk’s mentality, you let him experience this? Believe it or not, he will go crazy in less than a year. Isn’t this harming him?” (~^~)
