Myriad Paths

Li Qi's idea was simple.

Now that you are here, you have to explore the reality, whether it is Monk Jingmo or others, it is the same.

He was already very unhappy that Monk Jingmo came to see Lao Ma without permission, so why not bring him along as a witness to see clearly.

Besides, Amitabha is well-known as a good Buddha and the Buddha who saves all sentient beings. His reputation is still very good, so he doesn’t have to kill himself, right? The safety factor should still be guaranteed.

So, you might as well give it a try and see what this visualization picture is all about.

Unexpectedly, Monk Jingmo persuaded Li Qilai instead. He clasped his hands and said, "This happened because of me. Although the young monk doesn't know why the gift of Amitabha appeared, after all, it started with my hands. Cause and effect, the little monk will not give way. If the little monk needs to be used, please give orders to Donor Li and Donor Ma. "

"The young monk also knows that this matter is strange. Normally, Amitabha Buddha would not use the method of blessing in pursuit of the enlightenment of all living beings. He has always pursued the self-realization of all living beings and self-transcendence. It is absolutely impossible to grant such meaningless 'blessings' casually. The blessing given is not a real blessing, but a temptation from the devil.”

"So, as a disciple of the Buddha, the young monk is also obliged to find the truth. But after all, I am just a puppet. My thinking is dull and my ideas are rigid. I can do things well, but thinking about these things is not my strong point. I can only ask you to do more work."

Monk Jingmo looked at Li Qi calmly.

"Okay, but master, how do you judge that this is a blessing from Amitabha? Is there no other existence in disguise?" Li Qi asked.

"It is absolutely impossible to fake the Buddha's energy in it, just like you feel the shaman's energy. Is this kind of thing fake?" Monk Jingmo asked.

Li Qi nodded slightly and acknowledged the words of the Buddhist disciple in front of him.

It’s true that you can’t pretend to be a little angry.

"Okay, in that case, let's take a look at what this visualization picture represents. Lao Ma can't see it, so you and I can do some visualization. How about it?" Li Qi looked at Monk Jingmo.

He felt that if there was fraud, then Monk Jingmo would not be able to get away with it, so it would be better to just let the other party come along. After all, there is no way to cheat by visualizing these visualization pictures.

Using some tricks, Li Qineng could easily tell if he wanted to break away from the visualization.

However, Li Qi saw that Monk Jingmo did not hesitate at all and nodded straightforwardly: "It should be like this, then the young monk will understand it first."

As he spoke, he directly observed the visualization picture, entered into meditation, and began to figure out the picture. At the same time, visions appeared around him.

As he directly entered the state of visualization, five colors of light suddenly appeared around him, and the sky was like a canopy, covering the sun and reflecting the crowd. There was music and rain in the sky. There were four kinds of flowers. Music was few and bright, vibrating the sky, and flowers filled the ground with flowing light. The flames spread out high and low, and the shadow of the Chongyun Palace was seen. The two images stood still, and the four divine kings and the tent suddenly rose up. The fireworks supported each other and went up in the distance.

He actually entered the state of enlightenment directly, and many strange phenomena appeared around him, which is enough to prove that this monk Jingmo was not ambiguous at all, and he was really devoted to it wholeheartedly.

Seeing the other party's behavior, Li Qi couldn't continue to be suspicious. He observed for a while and found that Monk Jingmo was not wary of him. He seemed to really just think that the matter was related to him, so he devoted himself to it. Want to resolve this matter.

Li Qi couldn't find a flaw, so he had no choice but to sit down and start to visualize the visualization pictures on the old horse.

As soon as he entered the state of visualization, Li Qi was instantly immersed in it.

It seemed that an old monk was chanting Buddhist sutras in his ears.

The source of the mind is inherently pure. The mind changes with the situation, and delusional thoughts arise.

The scriptures are said to come from Sakyamuni and come from Savatthi. Jiuma translated it and obtained the detailed language and writing. The treasure torch of the Zen sect is like the golden rope of the path, but it is only a small resounding word, and those who recite it cannot fathom its end.

If Gou Fei studied the old annotations, gathered together various experts, consulted the forest of gains and losses, and compromised on the similarities and differences, then even if he recited it thousands of times and read it in thousands of books, it would be difficult to realize Samadhi and enter Samadhi.

Therefore, the joy of Zen has been delayed for a long time, and the dull roots have not yet melted. I have been reading it for a long time. Over the years, I have seen this picture collected by Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, which has been elucidated and endless.

Li Qi suddenly felt that his eyes were like clouds rising from a great void, often forming obstacles; like a precious mirror covered with dust, followed by a bright light.

If you follow fate and fall into illusion, can you return to illusion and return to truth?

Only the Tathagata, with his supreme enlightenment, made great vows of compassion, sympathized with the addiction of the world, and thought of the ignorance of all living beings, and opened up great conveniences for preaching this sutra. In order to untie the sticks and release the fetters, to wash away the dirt and leave the dust, on the road of birth and death, climb to the shore of Bodhi; to turn the confusion into wisdom, to get rid of the darkness and become the light.

Then, what appeared before his eyes was the truth of that visualization picture.

Everything painted in the visualization picture is a dialogue between a real dragon and a Bodhisattva.

This dragon brings disaster and accumulation, resulting in blindness as a result of retribution. For example, coming from the Zhengjue Mountain in front of you, you want to see the Bodhi tree. On the way to the side of the room, the dragon's eye suddenly shines, and you see the Bodhisattva about to see the Buddha tree. He said to the Bodhisattva: "I will soon be enlightened. I have been blind for a long time. When a Buddha appeared in the world, my eyes were always clear. During the past eons, when the three Buddhas appeared in the world, I had a clear vision. Now that I have seen it, I have become a Buddha."

So he turned into the biological doctor Luo Bo and Luo Longwangchi and walked around for more than a hundred steps. Its water is clear, with variegated lotuses blooming in all their splendor. The water is clear and gurgling, with dragons and fish swimming in the caves. Lotus flowers of four colors fill the clear pond. Hundreds of fruits are in abundance, all flourishing in different colors, and the forests and swamps complement each other. It is truly a place to play. There is Jialan nearby, a monk who has been there for a long time.

This dragon is the bad doctor Luo Bo and Luo Shuli Cu in the time of Kashyapa Buddha. Therefore, if I pray for rain or clear weather in that land today, I will go to the pool with the ascetics, snap my fingers and offer condolences, and my wishes will surely come true.

At the same time, the scene in front of him became more and more real and realistic.

The details on the real dragon's body, its scales, blood, hair, skin, and even the rhythm emanating from its body in every move, are becoming more and more real, and it seems that the source of the real dragon's power can be inferred from them.

Li Qi couldn't even hold back, stood up, and began to use his body to simulate the movements of a real dragon, and a certain rhythm reappeared on his body.

But as he punched out, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from his spine, but his body was too weak to bear it, and the sound of cracking bones was heard.

Li Qi groaned and fell directly to the ground, forced to wake up from the visualization state.

"The body is not in line with the dragon type. Forcibly simulating such operations has backfired." Li Qi immediately muttered to himself and analyzed the reason.

The injury was not serious, but only the bones from the spine to the arm were broken. For a seventh-grade body, it can basically heal in a few seconds.

As long as it's not a Taoist injury, it's easy to say, and it's not difficult to grow another hand again.

However, he also realized that he was beginning to touch the skills contained in the visualization diagram.

It is indeed a true dragon's technique, a method that combines the body of a true dragon with the true meaning of Buddhism, and it also has a certain strengthening effect on the body. For Lao Ma... this is simply tailor-made.

Li Qi glanced at Monk Jingmo next to him, only to find that the robot monk was also moving his body. Every move seemed like a dragon flying in the sky. His puppet body was extremely powerful, much more powerful than Li Qi's small body. According to his imagination When the divine will in the picture moves, it is actually able to withstand the heavy pressure.

Moreover, what Monk Jingmo understood was not purely the true dragon's talent. The bodhisattva's talent corresponding to the true dragon seemed to be within the scope of his visualization, so the results he obtained were not the same as Li Qi's.

In this case...

Li Qi nodded slightly, sat down, and then immersed himself in the visualization picture again.

Then, instead of moving his body, he began to deduce the various methods in the visualization diagram through 'imagination', observing every bit of the real dragon's figure.

Without the cooperation of the body and relying purely on imagination, the progress will be slower. After all, it is best to start learning directly.

But Li Qi's body couldn't withstand this domineering set of exercises. Just practicing was enough to break his bones and muscles, so he could only rely on his imagination. Fortunately, Li Qi's brain was relatively easy to use, and his progress was not too far behind.

Monk Jingmo and Li Qi each tried to figure out the skills hidden in this visualization picture from the real dragon's figure.

Li Qi speculated bit by bit, and Monk Jingmo also made progress bit by bit. The two began to try to figure out every detail of this visualization picture, from the expression of the Bodhisattva, the divine light radiating, the aura of the real dragon, to the All the views around.

The Dragon Pond is clear and bright, always without any increase or decrease. It is subject to wind and rain, thunder and lightning, fire and smoke, sand and rocks.

There is also the divine light of the Bodhisattva, whose mind travels to the true world, and the internal and external classics, studying the subtleties, the divine light and candlelight, are supernatural and clear.

Until one day passed, Li Qi and Monk Jingmo opened their eyes almost at the same time.

"How much has the donor realized?" Monk Jingmo asked.

"Half." Li Qi replied.

"The young monk has also achieved half of his enlightenment, so... can the Dragon Dharma and the Buddhist Dharma be combined into one?" Monk Jingmo asked again.

"Try?" Li Qi didn't know the answer, so he could only make this suggestion.

Monk Jingmo nodded: "Then give it a try."

Lao Ma, who was lying on the side with the visualization picture on his back, stood up at this time. He had not dared to move before, for fear that if he moved, the visualization process of the two would be interrupted.

Now it looks like the two of them have achieved something?

But Li Qi and Monk Jingmo ignored him. Instead, they sat across from each other and began to tell each other.

Li Qidao: "The Dharma never rises alone. Who is the name of peace? Psalm: Maha Dharma King. There is neither short nor long. Originally it is not pure and white. Green and yellow appear everywhere. The beauty of the hair is seen in the morning. The forest withers away from the evening frost. There is no such thing as lightning. Urgent. The lightning is not light. The dragon and the heaven cannot measure it."

Monk Jingmo then said: "Speaking of wisdom. It is good at breaking away all troubles. It can be used for wonderful purposes. Paramita. It is also a Sanskrit language. Talk about reaching the other shore. It does not refer to the other shore according to various appearances. If it refers to this shore according to various appearances, it also clouds the mind. If you are confused, you will be on this side. If you are enlightened, you will be on the other side. This is the way to see one’s nature.”

Li Qi said again: "There is a dragon living in the palace, and it can raise the clouds. Some people look up and see the palace. It should be known that it is the city of Gandharva. The one who controls the city is the Gandharva. The dragon mirage appears in the sea. The remaining energy appears. People see the pavilion. . Suddenly there is no such thing as the false attachment of all living beings to the reality of the five aggregates."

Monk Jingmo nodded when he heard the words and continued: "It is originally one shrewdness. It is divided into six harmonies. One shrewdness is one heart. The six harmonies are the six roots. Each is combined with the dust. The eyes are combined with the color. The ears are combined with the sound. The nose and the taste are combined. The mind and the law are combined. If there is nothing in the eighteen realms, this is the end. Only those who are enlightened are pure. Subhuti, the Bodhisattva should not live in appearance."

Li Qi continued: "The dragon's chin is vying for pearls. Open the wonderful door of the first sage. There is a way for later learning to enter the body. Let go of the line. Words reveal the whole body of the dharma. Silence reveals the truth alone. Movement only makes a crane and a cloud. . When you are still, you will be able to follow the laws of the Dharma."

Li Qi talks about dragons, Jingmo talks about Buddha.

The two sang and harmonized, you said half and I said half, confirming each other's understanding of the things from this visualization picture, trying to piece it together.

However, as they were answering, the nervous old horse next to him suddenly felt... some kind of power.

A power that suits him.

He became obsessed with the conversation between Li Qi and Monk Jingmo. He was only at the ninth level, and the questions and answers between the two seventh-level monks were already profound enough for him.

He began to feel and comprehend some kind of divine power coming from the blood within his body.

Lao Ma unconsciously followed the power of the 'True Dragon' and began to circulate the blood in his body. At the same time, he also used Buddhism as a guide.

Unknowingly, amidst the conversation between the two seventh-grade men, Lao Ma felt that he was getting more and more drowsy, but at the same time he was becoming more and more awake.

Drowsiness means that his perception of the outside world is getting slower and slower, to the point where he seems to be asleep and can no longer feel things in the outside world.

Being awake means that he has a more clear understanding of his body, the circulation of his blood, the movement of his muscles, and the allocation of various qi.

This is an extremely profound skill.

Although Lao Ma did not see the visualization picture on his back, through the conversation between Li Qi and Monk Jingmo, he seemed to vaguely see the appearance of a real dragon.

When the real dragon arrives, its aura is so surging that it even falls off the plains, either in the fields, on the flats, or in the lakes and rivers. It is rumbling faintly, and its aura is like dew. It is like the so-called black moon sinking in the river, its light is in the shadows, and the horizontal lines are fine. , round and curved.

Lao Ma seemed to feel it, feel that kind of 'perfection'.

Indescribable perfection, every move, between stretching out its head and shrinking its tail, the dragon's back is bounded by thousands of mountains, and its head stands tall towards the sky.

Li Qi suddenly stopped talking and looked at Monk Jingmo.

Monk Jingmo also stopped, clasping his hands together, waiting for Li Qi's choice.

Li Qi closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said: "When the dragon sees it, it's like a lion."

The ancients said:

When the dragon sees it, it is like a god.

The animal elephant is excellent and powerful.

When offering sacrifices, the sky is dormant, the dragon is sleeping in the suburbs, the dragon is sleeping, the body of the dragon is sleeping, and the body is visible in the east at dusk, all things are beginning to flourish, waiting for the rain to become more powerful, so offering sacrifices to the sky is also to pray for the anointing rain for hundreds of valleys from far away.

Li Qi, we must use the etiquette of sacrificing a real dragon to sacrifice the old horse at this moment!

This will completely lay the foundation for Lao Ma!

That's right, Li Qi wants Lao Ma to transform into a dragon.

Dragon colt? No, from now on it will be a demon dragon!
