Chapter 692: Meditation
Lu Feng took Leng Huaping back from the wide chair and asked seriously: "Can you please arrange the next round of Zen heart test as soon as possible."
Pu Xin sensed the anxiety in Lu Feng's words and did not embarrass him. He looked at Zen Master Huiwen with questioning eyes.
The Zen test originally scheduled for tomorrow morning could not be changed due to her status and power. She could only ask her teacher for instructions.
Hui Wen nodded, "Just take them there. No matter what the outcome is, if Zen Master Hengyi knows about this performance, he should also agree to come forward."
Pu Xin nodded, dismissed the rest of the Zen disciples, and called to the other three Zen disciples who passed by, "Miao Hu, Miao Jing, and Miao Yu, the three of you, please come with me."
To be precise, the so-called "Zen Heart Test" is not an examination, but is designed to test the concentration of Zen practitioners. It is also the most direct way to test whether a Zen practitioner has the potential to become a Zen master.
After observing the precepts, you can achieve meditation!
After ordinary Zen practitioners observe the precepts and practice for several years, most of them can complete basic 'meditation' when their minds are calm.
Regarding Zen, Lu Feng had already learned something about it from Miao Qing, and knew that it meant "pure thoughts, external Zen and internal concentration, no contamination by external circumstances, and no disturbance in the heart." '
In vernacular terms, it means comparing who is more indifferent, more pure-hearted and has no desires and desires.
The place where the meditation is tested is located under a high tower in the Zen sect. There is a raised foundation there, with a huge stone tablet standing on it. There are many exquisite stone futons displayed in front of the stone tablet.
On the way, Pu Xin had made relevant introductions to Lu Feng and others.
Tower name: Teacher’s Heart.
Displayed inside are the virtuous and respected ancestors of the Qing Zen sect in the past, as well as the supreme Zen masters who have achieved great success in practice.
The stone tablet under the tower is engraved with some introductions to meditation, as well as a simple "Theory of Dependent Origination and Dependent Origination".
Pu Xin led Lu Feng and others to the foot of the Master's Heart Pagoda, and raised his finger to point to the stone tablet on the foundation, "This tablet is called the Meditation Tablet. Throughout the ages, any Zen disciple who transformed into a Zen master entered meditation here. Today, any of you who are lucky enough to enter samadhi can undergo an in-depth examination as a Zen master."
"Those who cannot meditate successfully do not need to be too discouraged. Throughout the ages, there have been many highly respected Zen masters. Some of them initially spent a lot of time meditating, even for decades."
"Before you start again, you have a stick of incense to take time to adjust your state of mind. It should be noted that the calmer the state of mind, the easier it is to enter meditation."
Pu Xin glanced at Ye Fan intentionally and warned: "If there are evil thoughts and crooked minds in your heart, it will be difficult to complete meditation."
Ye Fan smiled disapprovingly, "The so-called meditation is just sitting on the stone mass with your eyes closed. If it is well disguised, how can you identify it?"
Pu Xin scolded, and then corrected him with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense anymore. Every stone mass on this foundation contains the remaining Zen consciousness of an ancestor. Only those who succeed in meditation can complete the task." It is absolutely impossible to fake the communication between them.”
Ye Fan was startled and looked at the ordinary stone mass on the foundation with some surprise.
He knew that the core soul masters of some major forces would use special means to leave a trace of their soul consciousness before they died. Like the Yao Valley where he once lived and grew up, there were such residual souls, but such existences generally had more All for the purpose of nurturing future generations and passing on the practice experience and techniques in his memory.
The ones in front of me are stored directly in ordinary stone groups...
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a waste of natural resources.
Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in his heart. The mind of the Zen masters of the older generation of Qingxiu Zen was indeed not comparable to those of the forces in the secular world.
Perhaps to them, inheritance is nothing more than the word 'fate'.
Perhaps after death, the remaining souls can witness the emergence of new Zen masters one after another, which is the greatest relief for them.
Lu Feng placed Leng Huaping aside and asked in a solemn voice: "How long will this meditation take?"
"How long?" Pu Xin couldn't help but laugh, "It's a great opportunity to be able to enter meditation, so the longer it takes, the better."
After a pause, Pushin continued: "But for you, as long as you enter meditation, you will be considered to have reached the standard, and you can wake up at any time."
After understanding the rules, Lu Feng did not go directly to the stone group to sit cross-legged and meditate. Instead, he looked at the three female Zen disciples on the side.
He only understood the literal meaning of 'meditation'. How to enter this state specifically required further observation and understanding.
It was a matter of Leng Huaping's life and death. Although he was extremely anxious, out of caution, he had to wait for this incense to adjust his mood.
"Zen Master Puxin, we are ready."
The three women all walked towards the stone mass on the foundation.
Lu Feng couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Miao Hu and the others to be ready after just a few breaths of adjustment.
Could it be that meditation was much simpler than he expected?
Pushin stepped forward and asked the three women, "You really don't need to adjust for a moment?"
The three women shook their heads in unison.
Miao Hu smiled and said: "Since we have practiced Zen, we have been trying to enter silence and meditate every day. It can be said that we maintain a stable state of mind all the time. Therefore, there is not much difference between meeting more and less. But standing aside will make you It only increases tension and stress.”
"That being the case," Pu Xin raised his hand, "then you can try meditation first."
Looking at Ye Fan, Lu Feng and Ruoshui.
"Where are the three of you?" Pu Xin pointed to a lot of free stone groups on the foundation and said, "Don't waste time. Meeting more or less will not change the outcome. Let's go together."
Ye Fan glanced at Lu Feng, and after feeling the meaning conveyed in the latter's eyes, he smiled and said to Pu Xin: "After all, we are from the world of mortals, but we have never seen such a battle. Zen Master Pu Xin asked me to wait and see. .”
"It's up to you!" Pu Xin rolled his eyes at Ye Fan coldly, ignored him, and focused on looking at the three Zen disciples who were already cross-legged on the stone group.
Ye Fan looked at Pu Xin's tall figure and quiet and serene temperament. He couldn't help but stayed for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Zen Master Pu Xin~"
Pu Xin looked at it.
Ye Fan said softly: "Your quiet and serious appearance... makes people feel very comfortable, but it's a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Pu Xin frowned slightly. She felt a subtle joy in Ye Fan's first half sentence, but when she saw that the latter hesitated to speak, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
"What a pity~" Ye Fan let out a long sigh, "If you were not practicing Zen, with such a face and temperament, in the world of mortals, just smiling like that in public would definitely cause a lot of resentment and resentment. Come."
"Put away your frivolity!" Pu Xin spat at Ye Fan angrily, but her heart softened a lot.
Lu Feng listened to Ye Fan's words, glanced at Pu Xin, and couldn't help but secretly agree with Ye Fan's point of view.
Although Pushin is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and although she is no longer a girl, she has reached the most perfect age for a woman, intellectual and mature, without the willfulness and nonsense of a little girl, nor the rigidity of women. It's boring, coupled with its unique scholarly and elegant atmosphere, it really has a unique sense of beauty.
Putting aside these things, the beauty, freshness and naturalness of her appearance alone are better than those of thousands of women in the mortal world.
Ye Fan ignored Pu Xin's scolding and pressed forward: "Zen Master Pu Xin, why don't you return to secular life, and I will take you to experience the world of mortals together. When you look back and enter Zen again, you may be able to realize a deeper meaning of Zen."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Pu Xin warned with a hint of anger: "If you do this again, I will disqualify you from participating in meditation."
"Yes!" Ye Fan made a gesture of pursed lips, and really didn't say a word more, just with a hint of a hidden smile on his lips.
He could feel the hesitation on Pu Xin's face when he heard his words, and knew that he must have had this thought deep in his heart.
Although Ye Fan did not know anything about Pu Xin, he overheard several Zen disciples talking about the fact that Pu Xin had lived in the Qingxiu Zen Sect since he was a child. Therefore, he was influenced by this environment and became the person he became. The youngest Zen master.
With such a life experience, once he is tempted by the secular world, his Zen concentration will be affected.
Many of Ye Fan's previous words had this purpose. The evil nature and stubbornness in his heart made him somewhat resentful of Pu Xin's grudges and targeting. He wanted to see what happened after the latter lost his Zen heart to vent his inner feelings. Not fast.
He was not a good man or woman, and compared to Lu Feng, he was even more unafraid of rules. If Lu Feng and Tang Yuan had not stopped him in the spiritual prison, he would have almost caused trouble many times.
rinse……
A slight soul wave came from a certain stone mass on the foundation.
"So fast!?"
Lu Feng and the other three were all stunned. When they looked around, they saw that Miao Hu had successfully entered samadhi and was recognized by a certain remnant soul in the stone mass.
Ye Fan laughed playfully, "It doesn't seem that difficult."
Lu Feng glanced at the other two people, "It's hard to say yet, maybe she has good luck."
At this moment, Miaojing also successfully entered meditation.
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What now? Both of them have good opportunities?"
"It's possible..."
Lu Feng had just begun to talk, but at the end, Miaoyu also succeeded in entering meditation.
He changed his tone and chuckled, "Maybe it's really not that difficult."
Pushin was listening to the conversation between the two, with a hidden smile on his lips.
"They won't wake up for a while, are you still going to continue watching?"
Pu Xin looked at Ye Fan with urging eyes.
Ye Fan patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and stepped forward, "Let me take the lead. After I enter samadhi, if I can't wake up in time like them, Lao Lu, you have to wake me up quickly. Who knows whether this samadhi will be good or not?" It affects my mind, and I don’t want to have the idea of staying away from the mortal world and practicing asceticism at such a young age.”
"Definitely!" Lu Feng smiled calmly, "If you enter Zen Buddhism, your childhood sweetheart and confidante will fight for me."
When Pu Xin heard Lu Feng's words, his eyes couldn't help but stare. He looked back at Ye Fan, who had already arrived on the foundation, and cursed angrily: "Carefree! Greedy again!"
