The group of people walked for several days and were surrounded by endless barren mountains or plains. There was not a trace of people or monsters.
Xu Xian asked:
"Xiaodie, isn't your mental power very powerful?
You should first look to see where the more powerful goblin we are looking for is located. "
Qiao Xiaodie was angry that Xu Xian refused to help her and forced her to tell many secrets.
The Demon Refining Tower can't affect her at this moment. She doesn't need to beg Xu Xian. Naturally, she won't be polite to Xu Xian and said coldly:
"Do you want to know?"
Xu Xian nodded and said:
"Want to know."
Qiao Xiaodie said:
"It's not impossible to know. As long as you can afford the price, everything is easy to talk about."
Xu Xian said:
"What's the price? Your money has already been arranged, so don't mention it. Just talk about the rest.
As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you. "
Qiao Xiaodie said leisurely:
"It took me three years to earn that money. It's my hard-earned money. I just want it back. There's no need to talk about anything else."
While he was talking, several black spots appeared in the sky, and it was several figures coming with swords.
Those figures did not stop, but flew directly to the left of the people.
The world rules of the Demon Refining Tower are different from those of the outside world. Even Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing cannot fly, and the group can only find a random direction to move forward.
In the uninhabited barren mountains and wild ridges, there was not even a single wild animal. In the boundless front, what a few people saw was boundless loneliness.
Wanting to see people is an obsession in the hearts of several people.
The people in the Demon Refining Tower are definitely not ordinary people, but fairies with profound magical powers who were lucky enough to survive in the Demon Refining Tower.
Xu Xian's purpose is to subdue some big demons in the Demon Refining Tower and use their strength to deal with Fahai.
There must be someone in the direction where those people went with their swords. Even if it was a trap, Xu Xian and others decided to go for it instead of wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.
One day later, Xu Xian saw a towering Bodhi tree in front of him.
Under the Bodhi tree is a peaceful village. The villagers live a life of men farming and women weaving, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
The Bodhi tree is a large tree plant of the genus Ficus of the Ficus family. When young, it grows as an epiphyte on other trees. It reaches a height of 15-25 meters. Its leaves are leathery, triangular-ovate, with three basal veins and 5-7 pairs of lateral veins. The petiole is slender. The fig is spherical to oblate, with slender styles and narrow stigmas.
Almost all trees have their own meanings. For example, the poplar tree represents perseverance, the locust tree represents reproduction, and the oak tree represents maturity and stability. So in our impression, the bodhi tree must represent wisdom.
The Bodhi tree symbolizes:
1. The bodhi tree symbolizes calm, tranquility and peace;
2. The broad leaves of the bodhi tree also represent tolerance and simple wisdom;
3. The bodhi tree sometimes symbolizes wisdom, and sometimes it also represents the purification of the soul.
4. The bodhi tree symbolizes enlightenment.
The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, hence its name.
"Bodhi" means enlightenment, and is used to refer to a person who suddenly wakes up from sleep, suddenly becomes enlightened, breaks into the path of thorough enlightenment, suddenly realizes the truth, and reaches an otherworldly state.
So what does the Bodhi tree symbolize? Here we can see that Bodhi is the great enlightenment, the clear mind and the true nature, and the realization of the final bright nature, which is the level of Nirvana.
To ordinary people, Nirvana is the death of a person. In fact, it means reaching the supreme Bodhi.
In what the bodhi tree symbolizes, the bodhi tree is often used as a metaphor for the purity and purity of the nature of the body and mind; it means that we must always pay attention to self-cultivation, get rid of all kinds of worldly greed and distracting thoughts, and keep our mind always clean and bright.
This verse is vivid and rich in philosophy.
Buddhism has always regarded the Bodhi tree as a sacred tree. Bodhi trees are commonly planted in jungle temples in Asan and other countries, and Asan has designated it as the national tree.
5. The bodhi tree symbolizes wisdom.
The Bodhi tree has a profound influence on the cultural meaning of China.
It is said that as early as the early Tang Dynasty, the monk Shenxiu had a dialogue with his senior brother Huineng and wrote a poem:
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. I brush it diligently at all times to avoid dust."
After reading it, Huineng wrote a poem:
"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust."
The conversation between these two brothers expressing their feelings through objects and discussing Tao through objects spread widely, which also made the Bodhi tree famous.
There is no Tang Dynasty in the Piaomiao Realm, and there is no Shenxiu or Huineng. There is only Huijue.
Xu Xian asked:
"Little Master, when you see that tree, do you feel like you are about to gain enlightenment?"
Huijue asked doubtfully:
"Why do I need to be enlightened when I see a big tree?"
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"I can now confirm that this Bodhi tree is fake."
Qiao Xiaodie asked:
"This is obviously a real bodhi tree, how could it be fake?"
Xu Xian said:
"If I say it is false, it is false and cannot be refuted."
Huijue suddenly said:
"This linden tree is real."
Bai Suzhen said:
"This Bodhi tree is indeed fake. It is only normal that all the monks live under the real Bodhicitta tree. There is not a single monk under this Bodhi tree, so it must be fake."
Xu Xian said:
“As the saying goes, if you plant a bodhi tree in your family, you will have no descendants.
Although this statement is a bit biased, it is difficult to plant Bodhi. Even if you can plant it, it is not suitable. If the home is not a temple, the taste of the family will change.
Normal people would not set up their home under the Bodhi tree, but they did.
This also means that they are not ordinary people, maybe they are the fairies we are looking for. "
Huijue stared blankly at the bodhi tree and murmured:
"This is really a bodhi tree. Although I haven't yet realized enlightenment, I feel a familiar feeling.
It seems that I have seen this Bodhi tree a long time ago. That's a very distant memory. "
Xiaoqing said:
"Little master, you have been deceived. Everything is an illusion. How can there be a real Bodhi tree in the Demon Refining Tower?
You have to believe that this is an illusion and that this bodhi tree is fake.
Because, it has to be fake. "
Huijue suddenly realized, his heart was as clear as ice, and the spiritual platform was clear, he smiled and said:
"Yes, this Bodhi tree is fake."
The bodhi tree comes into contact with people who have sinned a lot. It is shrouded in sin, has been polluted, and it is difficult to achieve enlightenment. It needs the affirmation of a Buddhist monk with boundless merits like Hui Jue before it can be rectified.
Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, Xiao Qing and others all have merits and virtues. If they are willing to admit that the Bodhi tree is a Bodhi tree, it will also help to seal the Bodhi tree. Because they are not Buddhists, the effect will not be as good as Huijue.
When Huijue admitted that the Bodhi tree was the Bodhi tree, the Bodhi tree was undergoing transformation. When Huijue denied that the Bodhi tree was the Bodhi tree, the transformation of the Bodhi tree stopped.
A word of heaven! One word of hell!
"Little master, I am really a bodhi tree."
A flash of light and shadow flashed by, and an old man with white beard and hair and an immortal spirit appeared next to Hui Jue.
Huijue said:
"The poor monk cannot see through it and dare not speak nonsense."
The old man said:
"Monks don't lie."
Huijue said:
"The world is illusory, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, and a poor monk dare not speak falsely."
The old man said:
"How can you admit that I am a bodhi tree?"
Huijue said:
"The road in this world is difficult and dangerous, and there is no 100% certainty. A poor monk dare not speak nonsense."
The old man's expression changed and he said:
"You want me to shed blood to identify you as your master?"
Huijue said:
"Other than that, the poor monk has no other choice."
The old man said angrily:
"I'm older than you, so I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Huijue said:
"The poor monk is just being cautious. It doesn't matter whether he can bear it or not."
"I can exchange it for something else."
The old man pointed to the farmers under the tree and said:
"For example, let them recognize you as their master."
Huijue asked:
"Is that possible to prove that you are a Bodhi tree?"
Letting the goblins under the Bodhi tree recognize Wisdom Enlightenment as its master is just an exchange of interests and does not prove that the Bodhi tree is the Bodhi tree.
The old man waved his sleeves and said:
"Don't go too far. If you can't handle the disaster in three days, we can negotiate terms."
After finishing speaking, the old man glanced at Xu Xian, turned into a piece of light and shadow, and disappeared into the bodhi tree.
Xu Xian concluded the Bodhi Tree's path to canonization, but the Bodhi Tree did not dare to argue with Xu Xian, because it was an existence it could not afford to offend.
