Chapter 23 Observing the Mo and Enlightening the Tao
Chapter 23 Observe the desert and realize the Tao, forgetting both things and myself
"Brother Zhao, what are you looking at?"
On a carriage on the ancient road, Lei Wujie asked curiously.
Since the few of them left the ruined temple before, Zhao Huafan had spoken very little. He was not with Xiao Se and the others in the carriage, but was driving with him outside.
"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is much more beautiful than this desert!!"
Zhao Huafan did not turn around and leaned against the carriage of the carriage. His eyes fell on the desert in the distance, on the ancient road, on the decayed mushroom stones, broken statues, and piles of bones that had been eroded by the wind.
.
Lei Wujie nodded.
"Yes! It's a desert at first glance. It felt a little different at first, but as time went by, it started to feel a little desolate!!"
Zhao Huafan hummed. Most people would look like this when they see this kind of scene. There is nothing to say about it.
“Then have you ever thought about what the scene was like before this endless desert became what it is now??”
"I really don't know, but I guess Zhao doesn't know either. If you don't believe me, just ask!!"
"Horse dealer, a hundred years ago, who was the strongest in the world??"
Lei Wujie exerted force on his waist and bounced up, looking at Zhao Huafan who was standing aside.
Lei Wujie was simple by nature, so he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this.
Then he continued: "So this is what I mean. Compared with this vast river of time, we are all small and insignificant. I have read a man's poem, and he said, "The fluttering is not the same as the heaven and the earth."
Yishaou, I don’t know if this is how I feel now!!”
"Small!!"
"Can't understand!!"
Lei Wujie was still scratching his head. His master was Lei Hong. He was a barbarian. His brain was all about muscles. To him, these words were almost like a book from heaven!
"Buddhist???"
Although Zhao Huafan knew that the strongest person in this world was not the wine master Baili Dongjun, he did not reveal the truth. Then he continued to ask: "Then do you know who was the strongest in this world a hundred years ago?"
Although Lei Wujie didn't understand what Zhao Huafan meant, he replied honestly: "Master said he was a wine master, but I have never seen him!"
This kind of insight that can penetrate the world of mortals is not something that ordinary people can understand, or even if they understand it, they may not be able to achieve it. In the span of a few decades in life, it is natural to pursue fame and fortune. If you don’t even have this
If you have no interest at all, then your life will be boring and monotonous.
"What does Piao Piao look like? The sky and the earth are just like a sand gull~~"
"What do you think about Zhao??"
As for other people, does it matter? It doesn't seem to matter that much.
"Then according to what Brother Zhao means, wouldn't it mean nothing for me to be famous all over the world now??"
Xiao Se rolled his eyes at him angrily, not to mention a hundred years, thirty to fifty years later, perhaps the newcomers in the world would have completely forgotten what happened before.
Lei Wujie thought for a while and said: "It's so big, it feels like we become very small when we pass by it!!"
Lei Wujie frowned. This question was a bit tricky. Unless it was him, maybe even Xiao Se didn't know it!
"Indeed, I don't know either!!"
Hearing this specious statement, he said angrily.
When Xiao Se heard this, he narrowed his eyes. Zhao Huafan had told him a fable before, which was also from Buddhism.
Zhao Huafan did not deny it, because he indeed did not know.
Zhao Huafan said softly: "If you forget both things and me, you can get a glimpse of the truth!"
Zhao Huafan did not continue this sentence, but said the next sentence.
"What are you talking about!! I didn't mean that!! I meant to see the true meaning of things from the appearance. Only by not being confused by external things can you go further!!"
"Brother Zhao??"
Zhao Huafan couldn't help laughing when he saw Lei Wujie dejected.
Calmness returned to the carriage again. Lei Wujie had a delicate heart and was not affected by the desolation. Instead, he began to think about Zhao Huafan's words, because he felt that those words were not only pleasant to hear, but also seemed to contain the secrets of martial arts.
Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie scratched his head.
Zhao Huafan once again focused his attention on this thousand-year-old road and said softly: "There is a saying in Buddhism that all appearances are false!"
Xiao Se was a little surprised when he heard this. The charm revealed in Zhao Huafan's words was very consistent with his own experience at this time, as if it was tailor-made. He couldn't help but repeat it again.
"."
"You bastard!!"
Tang Lian's mouth twitched and he remained silent. To be honest, he suddenly felt like he had seen a magic stick.
The good atmosphere was ruined by Xiao Se's words.
"This question makes no sense!!"
Adhering to the good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand something, Lei Wujie made a tactical move and leaned his head into the car, asking aloud.
"Compared to this world, no one is small, and no one is insignificant in the long river of time! Thinking about it this way, in fact, in the rivers and lakes, in the temples, who wins and who loses does not seem to be so important!"
Lei Wujie chuckled, "You don't know, do you?"
When Lei Wujie heard Zhao Huafan's words, he couldn't help but raised his head and looked at him. What he said was really too realistic. Who can do anything in the face of the sharp blade of time?
“You should have seen the reclining Buddha from before, right??”
Hearing this, Zhao Huafan laughed.
Tang Lian's eyes were a little surprised. He may now know why Xiao Se said that. There is no doubt that the young man outside the carriage is really interesting.
When Xiao Se heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. Compared with the rivers and lakes, the height of the temple and the distance between the rivers and lakes didn't seem to be that big. The number one person in the world a hundred years ago is now unknown to everyone. A hundred years later, Beili is here.
It seems that not many people are impressed by the imperial court!
Tang Lian almost felt sad because what the other party said was the truth and not empty talk, but it was precisely this that made him feel depressed in his heart.
Xiao Se sighed. He probably guessed what Zhao Huafan meant, so he replied.
Zhao Huafan was not bored and continued: "In today's arena, do you know who the Lei brothers have the best martial arts? The strongest strength??"
Lei Wujie scratched his head and shook his head, why are you thinking about that when you have nothing to do!
Zhao Huafan heard the other party's words and ignored them. There are three thousand great ways in the world, and true martial arts can be seen and Bodhi can be achieved. The way is there. If you see it, understand it, and then learn it, this is enough.
There is a huge reclining Buddha lying on its side on the edge of the ancient road. It is tall and majestic, like a mountain. It looks at the people passing by the ancient road, as if watching life.
Zhao Huafan stretched out his hand and looked closely at the lines in his palm, and murmured, "Forget both things and me, and everything will return to its true state. I ask you not to forget it!"
At this moment, in his Zifu, the aura surged out like a reservoir opening its gates, just like when he realized the meaning of "injustice" in the first sword.
Two months later, after traveling through the world of mortals, Zhao Huafan realized his second sword on this ancient road.
