Chapter 6 Death Valley III

Shifang always paid attention to the surroundings of the cave. There was another skeleton on the ground not far away. When he approached, he saw that there was nothing on his body. It must have been taken away by other people who entered the cave.

I don't know how long it took to walk like this, and two fork roads suddenly appeared in front of the cave!

Shifang hesitated for a moment and took out the psychic treasure mirror to explore. He saw that the aura in the left fork is thick, and the right fork is slightly rare. Where the aura is strong, there may be fairy grass and spiritual veins, or it is the rolling evil spirit introduced by the large array (the evil spirit is also a kind of aura.) Thinking about it, he resolutely walked to the stone cave on the left!

The golden light of Liuyang Baojian shines the stone cave as bright as day, and the color of the stone wall is white, just like white jade. The sound of dripping drops kept coming from the front, and only empty footsteps echoed in the cave.

The psychic mirror actually has the function of seeing through all kinds of large arrays. I'm afraid even the golden light doesn't know it.

By what means did other practitioners who came to the cave enter? Maybe there are similar magic weapons, or maybe it's because of their superb cultivation?

As you go forward, the sound of water droplets is more dense and pleasant, ticking echoing in the stone cave, as beautiful as the sound of a piano, making people slowly relax. Suddenly, Shifang stopped and stared at the psychic mirror in surprise. The psychic mirror showed that not far from the front, there was a thick aura blocking the front, like a wall, separating the passage into two parts that could not move forward.

But where the treasure mirror in front of me showed, there was no fog, only a skeleton leaning against the stone wall with cross-legged posture.

Shifang hesitated, so he leaned his knees against the stone wall and sat down to practice and stared at the psychic mirror in front of him. After a long time, the thick aura in the mirror remained unchanged.

Shifang sighed and got up and walked back. As soon as he arrived at the fork in the road, he suddenly heard a cough, which shocked Shifang. He stayed alone in this cave for some time. Suddenly, a voice came from the cave that had been unnoticed, and he couldn't help but get used to it. I thought, is it that the cloud chivalrous man came here? But he didn't dare to be careless, so he put away the light of Liuyang Baojian, took out the red cloak he had just received outside and covered it on his body, and leaned against the stone wall silently.

A blue light appeared on the way to the stone cave, and a man appeared in the passage with a crutch!

The man bent down on crutches and coughed from time to time, and the blue light actually came out of him. The man glowed blue all over his body. The black fog was not close to his body, and he slowly walked towards this side with his crutch.

In a blink of an eye, he came to the fork in the road. Shifang was worried. Seeing that he was about to walk, he wrapped his whole head. When the man arrived at the fork, he stood up, coughed twice, stared at the fork, and sighed, "Come out. Don't think that invisible clothes can block you."

Shifang was really shocked. Knowing that he had seen himself, he couldn't help wondering. How did he find out that this invisible clothes could cover and hide his whole body?

The old man seemed to be a little impatient: "People who can come here have a great opportunity. I didn't say that I would embarrass you. Don't regret it if you don't come out to make me angry."

I had no choice but to lift the cloak. Although I was a little embarrassed, I was curious and couldn't help asking, "How did this senior see the younger generation?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's still far from your little cultivation that you want to hide and not be known. You are so powerful. You are so powerful that you have come here alive."

Shifang scratched his head and smiled. The old man said, "Say, what magic weapon did you rely on to get here? Unexpectedly, there is this anti-sky magic weapon, so that a foundation-building practitioners can come here alive.

Shifang took out the psychic treasure mirror and Liuyang treasure with a wry smile. The old man took it over and looked at it carefully. He said, "What kind of treasure is this? One can see through the formation, but does the other have a bullshit effect?

Shifang said, "This Liuyang Baojian is a Buddhist magic weapon, and only Buddha's work can drive it."

The old man said, threw Liuyang Baojian to Shifang, took the psychic treasure mirror and said, "It's also predestined to meet me. I see that you are still honest, so I'll save your life first. Let's go and see what's in this cave." He also walked in to the left.

Shifang couldn't help saying, "This road doesn't work."

If the old man didn't hear it, he continued to move forward slowly. In a blink of an eye, he came to the place where he had just returned. The old man stood there and thought for a moment and said, "Young man, try to walk forward."

Shi Fang was stunned: "I'm afraid I can't go to that place."

The old man frowned and said, "What can't you go? I said I could go. Do you want to die?"

Shi Fang was annoyed. He knew that such a person could not be a theory. He wanted to turn around and run away, but he was afraid that he could not escape. He said, "You lend me the treasure mirror, and I'll go."

The old man stared, then narrowed up, threw the psychic treasure mirror to Shifang and said, "If you can't, throw the treasure mirror out. I can use him to save you."

Shifang took the treasure mirror, took a few breaths of air, glanced at the old man, and slowly walked forward, one step, two steps... In a blink of an eye, before the fog displayed by the treasure mirror, you can look up. There is no fog here at all, and you can't see any danger. Only the skeleton sitting on your knees against the wall in front of you reveals the smell of death.

Shi Fangzheng stood there trembling and hesitantly. He wanted to enter again. Suddenly, he heard the old man shout, "What an ink!" At the same time, a strong force came behind him, and he couldn't help moving forward.

Just as the body entered the area, a lot of fog suddenly appeared from the stone walls on the left and right sides, which surrounded him. The secret words were over. He thought that he would die, but he closed his eyes and waited for a moment without any strangeness. He slowly opened his eyes and saw many words appearing in the clouds in front of him.

These words are all composed of fog. The first line reads: "Life is two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. What is Tao?" There are three sets of words at the bottom. The first group is written against the sky, the second group is written by Shuntian, the third group is suitable for yin and yang, and the last group is unspeakable.

Shifang dared not make the decision and shouted, "Senior, do you hear me?"

The old man thought that Shifang had hung up and was regretting giving him the psychic mirror. Hearing him shouting, he said happily, "I can hear it, I can hear it."

Shi Fang said the words generated by Yunwu. The old man thought for a moment and said, "Try to inject spiritual power into the fourth group of unspeakable three words."

Shifang gritted his teeth and stretched out his palms to pat into the unspeakable three words of spiritual power. Suddenly, his body disappeared and recovered as before. The old man laughed and said, "Yes, let's get through this barrier." But I didn't know that Shifang was in a cold sweat.

The old man grabbed the psychic mirror and then walked forward: "If you can accompany me into the inside of the cave, I won't treat you badly. Anyway, I'm about to become a fairy, so I'll do a good thing before saying goodbye to the mortal body."

Shifang took a breath and continued to follow the old man. The old man said, "Do you know who I am?"

Shifang shook his head and said, "I haven't asked my predecessor's name yet."

The old man laughed and said, "I'm thousands of miles who are known as poisonous dragons."

Shifang had never heard of this name, so he had to frown and said, "I've been looking forward to your name for a long time."

Even Wanli didn't know whether he really knew or not. He continued to walk forward. I don't know how long he had walked. Lian Wanli stopped and said, "Young man, it's time to test you again."

In front of the two people, there was a golden wall. The wall sewed the passage was impenetrable, and the Buddha's portrait was carved on it, which was kind and vivid. I haven't seen anything from Buddhism for a long time. At this moment, I will salute you.

Lian Wanli laughed and said, "It seems that you are really a monk. Well, look at the three poems written on the golden wall. Which one should you choose?"

Looking closer, the song on the left is: the body is a bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, and wipe it frequently from time to time, so as not to cause dust.

What is written in the middle is: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not Taiwan. There is nothing in the first place, where to cause dust.

The last song is: ignore the bodhi tree, ignore the mirror platform, do you do me? What is dust?

Shifang has seen the first two sentences and knows that it is an allusion to Buddhism. It is about the five ancestors of Zen to test their disciples one day, saying who will write a poem. If anyone's poem has the meaning of understanding the Dharma, they will be the sixth ancestor of Zen.

Among them, there is a disciple named Shenxiu, who is very intelligent. Everyone has high hopes for him. Shenxiu said, "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror platform. Don't mess with dust."

The five ancestors smiled and asked everyone to recite and understand this poem silently, but said to Shenxiu in private: "Your poem has no nature, only outside the door, not inside. Such an opinion, looking for the supreme Bodhi, is not available. It means that there is still a lot of difference between understanding the nature of Buddhism.

Another disciple of the five ancestors is called Huineng. This Huineng is not literate, so he recites a poem: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing. Where can it cause dust?" The disciples were shocked when they heard this, and the five ancestors smiled and said, "I don't see sex." Then he scattered the disciples.

The next day, the five ancestors secretly came to the door of Huineng and knocked on the square in front of the door with a wooden stick. Huineng was intelligent. In the evening, he came to find the five ancestors in the third watch. The five ancestors personally taught the Diamond Sutra, and finally said, "There should be no place to live." Hui Neng listened and realized that all the laws are inseparable from their own nature.

This period of Buddhist allusions is well known. Zen Master Tiancong has repeatedly said: "There is nothing to live, and there is a heart. The understanding of Buddhism is between nothing." But Zen Master Tiancong himself couldn't understand that place, and he was confused.

But now I have never heard of the third poem on the wall. I meditated it over and again. Suddenly, there was a little inspiration in my heart, but I couldn't catch it. In my meditation, I only heard the impatient shout: "Which one should I choose?" When Shi Fang heard the words, he took a picture of the third poem!
