Chapter 17: The goal is to stay alive
The secret of cultivating the Bodhisattva's heart!
Ye Chen translated the thoughts, thinking and spirit in his head into his own thinking, and learned the name of this famous article on spiritual cultivation. What it described was a completely artistic conception, a feeling, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, like the gurgling water, like the roar of hundreds of beasts, and like the tranquility of a lake, without ripples, rising and falling, sometimes still and sometimes moving. An ethereal air flowed through his heart.
There is no need to practice in this method. The words and ideas in it are engraved on the memory cells. When the heart understands and the mind feels, it will be enlightened. There is no rule for improving the state of mind. Sometimes wearing sackcloth clothes and walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, passing snow-capped mountains and blue lakes, it only tempers the state of mind, but cannot improve it.
Sometimes when you have an epiphany, everything becomes the truth and reason in your eyes!
Truth is an invisible rule, like mountain streams, like the rising and setting of the sun, invisible yet visible. You can understand the truth through every thing and every object, so you can have an epiphany anytime and anywhere!
Ye Chen remembered that in ancient Chinese civilization, there were relics of ancient sages, including the "Tao Te Ching" and the crystal ball of "Li Shi". There were no words in them, just like the "Pei Yuan Bo Xin Jue". As long as it was absorbed, it would be engraved in the mind. Unlike the "Tao Te Ching" recorded in poems and books, the language was difficult to understand, and the truths in it were limited by words!
The artistic conception cannot even be described in words, so you can imagine how profound it is!
Among the many methods of cultivating the mind, Tao Te Ching is a Bible, which contains the ultimate principles of the operation of heaven and earth. If you can understand it, you can let go of everything and become a saint. Even if a tiger bites your arm, you can remain calm and composed, and use the ethereal energy obtained from cultivating the mind to educate the tiger (Buddhism calls it salvation, Taoism calls it teaching).
With Ye Chen's current state of mind, he cannot even convert a mosquito in peacetime. When he reaches the realm of a wise man, he will be able to activate the spiritual energy of time and space, convert living beings, calm the murderous thoughts in his heart, and reach the state of pointing directly to his heart and following his heart. All actions will not be forced deliberately, and good and evil will depend on one's own views.
The good and evil in everyone's heart is a balance ball. In the environment of the end times, the balance ball of evil slips and explodes, so people can kill their children and eat their wives, betray their friends, etc. This is the evil thoughts dominating their thoughts. In peacetime, with enough food and clothing, coupled with the influence of the environment, evil thoughts are buried under the system of laws, police, etc., and good thoughts dominate the mind.
The state of mind is a middleman that can keep the mind clear, so that you know what kind of people you should have evil thoughts about and what kind of people you should have good thoughts about. You can see your true heart clearly and not be directed by good thoughts or evil thoughts. You can "directly point to your true heart, see your heart and see your 'nature'!"
There was a trace of confusion in Ye Chen's eyes. Under the Peiyuan Bodhisattva Heart Technique, it seemed that a lot of information poured into his mind. One year, one rise and one fall; one thought, one world. All the myriad situations in the world appeared before his eyes.
The world in this world is a huge sea of suffering!
Whether it is fighting or killing relatives for a little food, it is all guided by the seven emotions and six desires of human nature, and is driven by the idea of survival. Through this state of mind technique, Ye Chen realized that he should not live just to survive, but live to live!
In the past, Ye Chen felt that his life was meaningless and he was just living for the sake of living. Now that he has realized something, he still feels the same way. This is to see mountains as mountains and water as water.
Mountains are not mountains, and water is not water.
The triple realm of seeing mountains as mountains again, and water as water again.
He was still living, but the meaning was different. Living and surviving were two different meanings. In order to fight for food, he abandoned his heart and became a cruel demon. This was for "survival"! Although his body was alive, his heart was dead.
To be alive means to have emotions, to be yourself, to have love and hate, sorrow and joy, pain and worry. This is being alive.
Ordinary people call themselves "alive" as long as they have food to eat.
People in high positions have enough food and clothing but no close friends, they live a luxurious life but never smile, and they also call themselves "alive."
In fact, they are all people living in a sea of suffering.
And Ye Chen wanted to escape from this sea of suffering! Ordinary people wanted to "survive", but Ye Chen wanted to truly "live"!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt that his state of mind seemed to have been tempered. He had faintly broken through his original realm and reached the realm of a "wise man". He instantly realized that he had become a wise man!
Having reached the level of Great Sage, he could transplant limbs of monsters to a level of %, far exceeding previous estimates. However, the state of mind can sometimes be blinded, and there are many examples of people being reduced from "wise men" to "mortals" in ancient China. Only when one reaches the level of a saint and has a clear mind, will he not be blinded by any interests or anything. Only in this way can one see through everything and perceive the mysterious time tunnel.
Ye Chen put his thoughts aside, stood up, glanced at his sister Ye Zhu who was still thinking with her eyes closed, and without disturbing her, he quietly left the room, walked out of the city of Atlantis, came to the base city outside, and walked on the street.
The night wind was blowing, feeling quite desolate.
It was winter now and the temperature had become somewhat cold. Ye Chen looked at the sky without stars and the moon, with an unfathomable light in his eyes. From the moment he reached the level of a wise man, his thinking had changed, and he had seen through many things that he had not been able to see through before.
From now on, he will fight to "stay alive"!
With the strength of a humble ant, try hard to survive!
He walked slowly along the street towards the city gate. The base city was quite large, and it was already four or five in the morning. Not long after he walked, the first rays of morning light shone over him.
Enveloped him.
"Ding ding..." At noon, Ye Chen was sitting in a hotel eating when his communicator suddenly rang. He put down his chopsticks and took out the communicator. He took a look and saw that it was Huang Tianci calling, so he pressed the answer button.
"Boss, this is bad!" Huang Tianci said anxiously, "Our guild members were outside killing monsters, but they were blocked by the Longteng Guild! Many brothers were killed or injured, and the rest who escaped back were also injured!"
Ye Chen looked calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He said in a calm and composed tone, "Distribute the gene medicine, and compensate everyone who was injured. Also, call all the people above level 10 in the guild to the gate of the base city and challenge the Longteng Guild."
Huang Tianci was surprised and said, "Boss, do you want to fight with Longteng Guild? No, there are too many strong people in their guild. We can't beat them. Besides, there are many super warriors in their guild!"
"It's okay." Ye Chen's voice was calm, as if he was in control of everything, and had an irrefutable majesty.
Huang Tianci stopped talking immediately, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Okay, I'll gather some people and challenge the Longteng Guild!"
"Yeah!" Ye Chen nodded, then hung up, called Bai Long's communicator and said, "Call Mo Feng and the others to the Lanting Hotel. I have something to say." After that, he hung up the communicator and continued eating.
Not long after, Bai Long and others appeared in front of Ye Chen. Bai Long sat casually on the sofa opposite the table and said helplessly: "Why did you call us here?"
"Have you eaten?" Ye Chen did not answer, but asked casually.
"I ate it." Bai Long said, "But now I'm hungry again."
Yue Henglian said: "Me too."
"Me too." Zhuge Fan said with a smile.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ye Chen glanced at them and asked, "What's your physical fitness?"
Bai Long chuckled and said, "They are all around level 50."
Ye Chen nodded, and said to the pretty waitress next to him: "Give me four more servings of level 50 green-scaled snake meat."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The extremely beautiful waitress nodded with a stiff smile, then turned and left.
Ye Chen ate the fried meat in front of him and said calmly: "I asked you to come here for something. There will be a bloody battle later. I may turn on superman mode at that time. When I am unable to continue, you will be responsible for my safety."
Bai Long yelled, "Damn it, isn't it?"
Zhuge Fan muttered, "They actually charged in and left us to watch. That's really unfair. I want to join them too!"
"That's right!" Yue Heng agreed excitedly.
Ye Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "You all have joined, so who will be responsible for the escape?"
“Isn’t there this weirdo?” Bai Long pointed at Mo Feng, who had been silent, and said with a chuckle, “He’s Batman, an ultrasonic detector. Also, don’t be fooled by his glasses-wearing appearance. He’s actually extremely sinister and loves to cheat people!”
Mo Feng said indifferently: "I didn't cheat you."
Bai Long yelled, "Fuck, you don't want to admit it, who lied to me last time that there was a beauty in the tiger cave? Who do you think it was?!"
"It's me." Mo Feng nodded and said, "I just didn't expect you to actually run in."
Ye Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Bai Long argued: "If you didn't tell me there was a beautiful woman inside, would I rush in?"
"Even a fool knows that there won't be any beauties in a tiger's cave." Mo Feng said lightly.
Bai Long said proudly: "This shows that I am not a fool."
“…” The four of them fell headfirst onto the table.
Ye Chen coughed lightly and said, "That's it. Mo Feng will be responsible for escaping. By the way, what kind of superman is Zhuge Fan?"
Zhuge Fan blushed, but before he could say anything, Bai Long put his arm around his shoulders and said with a grin, "This little brat is incredible. He chose a cockroach gene. How about that? Invincible, right?"
Zhuge Fan couldn't help but argue in a low voice, "Didn't you choose the cheetah gene yourself, so that you would be the first to run away when you encounter danger?"
Bai Long said righteously, "What do you know? The important task of inheriting human civilization still needs me to inherit it. How can I not leave a spark? Besides, I am not running away. I am a hero who knows the current situation. If I can't win, I will still fight. Isn't that stupid?"
Yue Heng warned Zhuge Fan, "I've already told you not to argue with him. He can make the dead come back to life with his broken mouth. He can even make a monster so ashamed that he commits suicide."
Zhuge Fan agreed deeply and said, "That makes sense!"
