Chapter 634 Zhang Xianyong's argument, the old monk had an epiphany(1/2)
Chapter 634: Zhang Xianyong's statement, the old monk suddenly realized
When time comes, it seems to be frozen, and time passes abnormally slowly.
Everyone in this house stared at the two bottles with wide eyes, one opened and the other felled bent bottle. People came here to watch the fun were endless, and all opened their eyes wide and saw what would happen.
The old monk Yuanwu is worthy of being a master of Tao. He made a cushion and sat on the ground. He had been here for a night and had not yet had the intention of resting. He was silently reciting scriptures and reciting a passage of scriptures. He opened his eyes and looked at the two glass bottles, then closed his eyes and began to continue reciting scriptures. In this cycle, he sat for a night.
The next day, the open glass bottle finally began to change, and a thin layer of things appeared.
The old monk opened his eyes again. Now he was sure that the broth in this open bottle had probably deteriorated.
"Amitabha, good, good..." Although the old monk had never eaten meat, there was obvious difference between these two bottles. So why did the difference occur? What is the reason?
The people present were also talking about it. They were all soup poured from a bowl. They were just different bottles, but the results were completely different, which was very telling.
Zhang Xianyong may have known the news and rushed to the house. When he came in, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Countless people saluted Zhang Xianyong. This master of enlightenment and "god" identity has basically been affirmed. As the saying goes, seeing is true. Now that the difference between the two bottles of things with their own eyes is different, so naturally we must believe it.
After Zhang Xianyong left the people in the room and greeted him one after another, he came to the front of the old monk, bowed seriously and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you are worthy of being a wise man. I admire you when I can meditate here for so long and observe!" Zhang Xianyong respected the old monk more and more. He could meditate for a night and insisted on observing here, which was quite difficult.
"Amitabha, I'm really polite. As the saying goes, you can die in the morning and now you can participate in the enlightenment in person. I'm just asking for it, so why do you have to say hard work..." The old monk said with a calm face, his voice neither anxious nor slow, but very peaceful.
"Amitabha Blessing of Life..." Zhang Xianyong bowed again, and then sat in his seat. Today, the result has been revealed, so it is time to do the next thing.
As last time, the room was full of people, and the old monk took the lead. However, unlike last time, this time, I basically no longer came to find fault with Zhang Xianyong, but they all came to listen to Zhang Xianyong's "talk". This time, everyone's eyes were obviously much more pious.
Zhang Xianyong sat down with a radiant look, looking like a master, sat down, looked at the eyes around him, and after confirming that he was not as "unkind" as last time, he finally calmed down a little.
"Amitabha Blessing of Life..." Zhang Xianyong bowed to everyone first.
"...Everyone, as you see now, the broth in these two bottles has changed, one is still clear, and the other is turbid..." Zhang Xianyong began to continue his experiment.
After hearing Zhang Xianyong's remarks about this result, everyone began to talk about it.
"Amitabha, this is indeed a fact, I can testify." The old monk sang the Buddha's name and came forward to confirm this matter. From beginning to end, he saw it with his own eyes, so he naturally had the right to speak. With his identity, he also had the right to identify this matter.
Everyone became quiet when they heard the old monk talking. There were much more people coming here than last time. It can be said that they were very crowded. More people came to see the lively and didn't know much about the past. When they saw the old monk coming forward to testify, they stopped talking, and there was no need to ask others again.
"Amitabha Blessing, thank you Master..." Zhang Xianyong thanked again. Zhang Xianyong also felt that Master Yuanwu was indeed a Taoist person, and he spoke very fairly and did not attack him wantonly because of different sects.
"Amitabha, this is a fact, and the real person does not need to be polite. Now the two bottles of soup have become different. Although the real person has also said that this type of microscopic creature is at work, I still want to ask the real person. I don't know if the real person can explain it in detail..." The old monk was really immersed in this world of "enlightenment" and asked Zhang Xianyong for advice very politely.
"Master is polite. I dare not take it if you ask for advice, just think it's a discussion with each other..." Zhang Xianyong hurriedly gave in moderation.
"...I want to prove that this little trick is that microscopic creatures exist. The broth rots and deteriorates. In fact, it is related to these microscopic creatures. If the broth does not come into contact with these microscopic creatures, it will not deteriorate. This is why there are two completely different situations in the same bowl of broth..." Zhang Xianyong began to explain that he had practiced this kind of popular science a lot, and now he is very familiar with it.
"... As you see, the first one is an open glass bottle. The open glass bottle is open, and these tiny creatures float around and can easily fall on the broth. These tiny creatures continue to reproduce in the broth, and the broth will naturally deteriorate quickly..." Zhang Xianyong said.
"Amitabha, good, I'll interrupt you. The real person said that these tiny creatures can continue to reproduce, right?" The old monk couldn't help but hear the truth.
"The blessing of infinite life is that the subtle creatures are everywhere and drift with the wind. When they encounter suitable places, they will reproduce by themselves and continue to expand..." Zhang Xianyong said.
"Amitabha, can you really confirm that this is true?" The old monk quickly confirmed that it was not that he was unwilling to believe it, but that the fact is too... If it is really like that, if he drinks this sip of water, he will really drink thousands of "living" creatures. The precepts that claim to not kill and not eat meat are just a big joke. The impact of this incident on their Buddhism can be imagined. If this matter is true, they may have to change the rules, otherwise, this is a hurdle that cannot be overcome no matter what. This is a fundamental problem.
"I can naturally be convinced that the blessings of infinite life, as I have seen with my own eyes, but these subtle creatures are very small and ordinary people don't notice them. Moreover, if these subtle creatures cannot reproduce, how can they continue to exist in such a long time?" Zhang Xianyong asked again.
This rhetorical question was completely asked by the old monk and many people who were puzzled. It was true! If those little things could not reproduce by themselves, how could they still exist after so long? If this little thing had existed since ancient times, wouldn’t it mean that these little things were "exhausted"? Obviously, these subtle creatures, as Zhang Xianyong said, would definitely reproduce by themselves.
"Amitabha, good, good, I understand..." The old monk is also a smart person. Once this question was asked, he understood that he was inappropriate. There is only the cycle of life and death of creatures, old age, sickness and death, and there is no immortal existence. Even the Buddha also passed away. This question is actually not difficult to understand, and it belongs to the kind of question that can be understood, inferred, but is unwilling to think about it, and unwilling to believe his inference. Now it has been confirmed that the old monk instantly becomes bitter.
Zhang Xianyong was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for everyone to discuss for a while. Seeing that the old monk was suddenly depressed, Zhang Xianyong also sighed inwardly. If the emperor had not valued him and supported him, he would be afraid that he would be the one sitting in the old monk's position now.
"The blessing of infinite life is precisely because these subtle creatures are at work, so it is also the reason why the broth in the second glass bottle is still clear... Although these subtle creatures are everywhere, they are very subtle. They do not have much ability to float freely and can only walk with the wind. The mouth of the bottle is crooked and bent, and these subtle creatures will naturally not easily enter the broth, and the broth will naturally not change..." Zhang Xianyong continued.
There was a noise among the crowd. This was the first time they heard this explanation. They had never seen a subtle creature like, but now Zhang Xianyong was very polite, and they had to believe it even if they didn't believe it.
"Amitabha, I understand. The real person had to boil the broth with fire, so that all the tiny creatures in the broth were wiped out?" The old monk said excitedly. This is a bigger problem. For example, the tiny creatures do exist. Zhang Xianyong did not tell any lies. That is to say, it is a sin for the monks to boil water and drink. Because this fire burns countless creatures to kill, and not kill, and not eat raw creatures, is really a joke. He is confident that he can not eat meat or drink alcohol, but he can never drink water. Even if he does not drink boiled water, he cannot drink raw water. Drinking boiled water is to kill those creatures before drinking, and drinking raw water is to "eat" those creatures directly. The old monk's worldview is almost collapsed.
"The Master said it well. This is what I want to say. The discovery of this microscopic world can be able to overcome birth, old age, sickness and death. Although there is no medicine and bones, and the ability to revive the dead, there are also ways to avoid diseases and prolong life. Only then can I dare to boast that I have attained enlightenment for the people of the world and increase the life span of the world, and that I dare to boast about changing my practice and seeking the Tao..." Zhang Xianyong said seriously. Seeing the old monk's appearance was quite excited and listless, although I didn't know that the old monk's heart was
What he was thinking about, but he could roughly guess some of the things that he was similar to Buddhism in some aspects. There were also some precepts in some aspects. Now that this subtle creature came out, many rules had to be changed. Thinking about it, he looked better than the old monk, and he had been crazy for a long time. Seeing the old monk's excited appearance, he shook his head secretly. This is a big era! Those who do not follow the changes will always be abandoned by the times. Thinking of this, Zhang Xianyong strengthened his confidence.
Everyone sighed again. They heard the words of Zhang Xianyong and the old monk. People like the old monk agreed with Zhang Xianyong's words, which was enough to explain the problem. Now more and more facts prove that what Zhang Xianyong said was not lies or false words.
"Amitabha, good, good..." Amid the sighs of everyone, the old monk could only keep reciting the Buddha's name to calm the shock in his heart.
Everyone became hotly discussed from sighing, and their voices became louder and louder. Zhang Xianyong was also very moved when he said this, and he had no intention of continuing to talk. He was very excited and he kept trying to calm his inner agitation.
"I dare to ask the real person, can we look at that world? Looking at those subtle creatures? It can also help to relieve the confusion in our hearts?" Some people couldn't help but want to see what those subtle creatures looked like.
"Yes! Real person, let me wait and take a look." In this crowded room, someone kept begging Zhang Xianyong.
Faced with the unanimous begging of everyone, Zhang Xianyong didn't care at all, and even felt a little proud. If you were to watch it casually, wouldn't this matter come quickly and go faster? Only by hanging you like now can you continue to pay attention to this matter. He wanted to take this opportunity to "become a saint in the flesh". You didn't pay attention to it, so how could I "become a saint"?
"Immortal life blessing... It's not that I don't show you. It's really hard to do the holy order! This matter is related to the national destiny of my Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, so I have to be cautious!" Zhang Xianyong said with a embarrassed face and compassionate face.
After hearing this, everyone was disappointed again. Now they became more and more interested in this matter, and their itchyness in their hearts became more and more itchy.
"Then, can you ask the real person? Can you describe that world in detail for me? How can we seek profit and avoid harm?" Someone saw that he could not see that world with his own eyes, so he turned to the second best and asked how to avoid diseases.
"Yes! Real person, can you explain to us the relationship between these subtle creatures and birth, old age, sickness and death? How can we seek benefits and avoid harm?" Everyone said, and now the existence of these subtle creatures has been basically confirmed. Now it depends on how Zhang Xianyong explains the relationship between these subtle creatures and birth, old age, sickness and death.
"Amitabha Blessing of Life..." Zhang Xianyong came back from his distracted mind and began to explain.
"... As you can see, this soup is caused by the decay of the tiny creatures. Before doing this trick, I have to boil the broth first to ensure that the broth does not deteriorate. In other words, it makes sense to boil water and drink these tiny creatures. This conclusion is that you cannot drink raw water, and you must drink boiled water. If you can do this, I believe that the chance of getting sick will be much smaller. If the disease is reduced, the lifespan will naturally be extended..." Zhang Xianyong said seriously.
So, some people are unhappy in the scene. What is this "reason"? Who doesn't know that you can't drink raw water? Is it necessary to verify this way?
"...I'm sorry for being rude. There is no need to prove this one at all. Everyone knows it. This one doesn't count..." Immediately, someone shouted again.
"You are right. This principle is indeed simple and has long been known to the world. I do not deny this point. However, although this is simple, it is verified by me based on the subtle creatures. In fact, the impact of subtle creatures on the world is the key. It is only necessary to prove that you cannot drink raw water..." Zhang Xianyong explained calmly.
"Amitabha, good, good, although this principle is simple, and my predecessors have known it for a long time, but I have to say that it is just that, but I don't know why. Now I know the reason, and I have solved the great confusion in my heart... It turns out that, the great way is simple!" But the old monk chanted the Buddha's name and admitted this matter seriously.
The old monk's words blocked many people's complaints.
Some people seemed to have gained some understanding after listening to Zhang Xianyong's words.
"I admire, admire, the real person is worthy of being a wise man. What is very reasonable is. What is important is not how simple this principle is, but a method of argumentation. Since it proves the existence of subtle creatures, then naturally, it should be used as the basis for judging and demonstrating things. As the real person said, it is indeed a reason to prove that you cannot drink raw water. It is just by the way. What is amazing is to look at the problem from the perspective of micro creatures and look at the world... Alas... In this way, it is indeed a window to open! The reason in this is really wonderful, wonderful..." Some people have also figured out the key, proving that you cannot drink raw water is not Zhang Xianyong fried leftover rice, but considering the problem with a new attitude, a new concept, and a new perspective. Once you think about it, everything can be understood.
When everyone saw someone as if they had realized the great way, they danced happily and looked at him with confusion. Someone even asked: "Is it possible that Dr. Lin has gained something? Can you share it?"
"Mire..., wonderful! I have to say that Zhenren Zhang can indeed be regarded as the word "god". Many things are completely understood..." This person, who was called Doctor Lin, was even more dancing.
Many confused people looked at this miraculous doctor in confusion. Although the principle is simple, not everyone can understand it.
The old monk may have figured out a lot of truths and looked at the dancing Divine Doctor Lin with envy.
Zhang Xianyong looked at him calmly, and he didn't care about these questions at all now.
"...Meng Lang..., Meng Lang..., forgive me!" The ***, who was called Doctor Lin, smiled for a long time before stopping, quickly bowed to the people around him, admitting his mistake.
"Dare you ask Brother Lin, is this gaining something? I wonder if I can share it with me?" Someone immediately heard it.
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it, I really dare not take it. I am ashamed. I just heard this man Zhang talk about it and suddenly realized something, so I got Meng Lang..." This man who was called Doctor Lin apologized again.
"Dare you dare to ask me, can you gain something?" The man asked again.
"... In fact, it is simple. What Zhang Zhenren actually proves the existence of a microscopic world, and the existence of microscopic creatures. These creatures are everywhere, floating in the wind, and they are endless. As a doctor, they often have to create for patients. The affected areas often become suppurated, and often last for a lifetime. Now, after Zhang Zhenren's enlightenment, they realize that those small creatures are at work at regular intervals. If these small creatures can be avoided, the patient will naturally not have to worry about being senile in the future. Not to mention that all the medicine is cured, half of it will be cured is also an amazing great good deed and great merit. What Zhang Zhenren said is that it is indeed not a false saying, real, real..." Dr. Lin immediately expressed his experience.
As soon as this was said, it immediately received approval from several people.
"Not bad, not bad! That's true!"
"Not bad! That's exactly what it means!"
Perhaps this incident of birth, old age, sickness and death is related to this disease. Many doctors came to see each other, and immediately felt the same way when they heard this statement and immediately agreed with this statement. As the saying is true, it can be said that it is the blessing of doctors and patients.
In fact, there are many people who have understood this point for a long time, but they just haven't said it. Those who understand look at Zhang Xianyong's eyes and become happy and ecstatic. Those who still don't understand it are still confused, but when they look at the people around them, they also "understand".
"Amitabha, please ask the real person to solve our doubts. When it is invented, how can we prevent the wound from being affected by the tiny creatures?" The old monk had long speculated about this level. When he saw someone ask, he immediately asked Zhang Xianyong the truth. Although the main business of Buddhism is not a doctor, there are many people studying medicine in Buddhism. Usually, they must walk around, and treat good men and women with diseases and save lives. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand this.
When the old monk said this, everyone's emotions also came and they asked one after another.
"Amitabha Blessing of Life..." Zhang Xianyong was not in a hurry and said to himself, you finally asked this level, but I am preparing.
"... There is this, you all know about alcohol. When it was founded, applying special alcohol to the instruments, the affected areas and around them could indeed prevent these tiny creatures from causing trouble. Although it cannot be said that they have special effects, it is also a good way. After observation by me, the tiny creatures that have been applied with alcohol will not survive..." Zhang Xianyong immediately said that he had prepared a lot of words for this and was not afraid of others asking.
"...I'm so kind. There are indeed alcohol application equipment and the affected area, and it is indeed effective. However, the special alcohol mentioned by real people seems to be quite expensive, and not everyone can afford it! But there are other ways?" Someone immediately came forward to admit this. However, the alcohol is still not popular now, because it is too expensive.
"Amitabha Blessing..." Zhang Xianyong wanted to laugh a little, and then continued: "...This alcohol is expensive now, but Your Majesty has the virtue of being a virtuous person. Isn't it popularizing sweet potatoes on a large scale? If there are too many sweet potatoes, this alcohol will naturally be cheap. Your Majesty will benefit the people of the world and have good intentions, alas..."
Facing Zhang Xianyong's words, everyone was filled with emotion, unable to speak, and speechless... If you want to say it for the people of the world, the emperor really should use the four words "good intentions".
"Your Majesty's wise!"
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Some people took the lead in kowtowing towards the Forbidden City, and everyone followed suit. At this time, many people felt the emperor's uniqueness and were even more indescribable in their hearts.
Zhang Xianyong also kowtowed seriously. After the kowtow, everyone was silent for a while before talking about the topic.
"...Dare you dare to ask the real person, are there any other ways besides alcohol?" someone continued to ask.
"There is no limitless life blessing, of course!" Zhang Xianyong said confidently.
"Please give a real person a lecture." Everyone immediately asked Zhang Xianyong to explain.
"... Since the existence of that world has been confirmed now, it is the culprit of many things, so naturally, timely cleaning and killing the creatures that are causing trouble can naturally avoid many problems. For example, the donor asked, but there are other ways? Based on the creatures in this subtle world, many useful methods can naturally be derived..." Zhang Xianyong immediately replied, "It is necessary to completely establish the meaning of the micro world, and everything is inferred based on the existence of the micro world. Once this premise is established, his Taoist status will be consolidated. Any future discovery in this area cannot be separated from the contribution of his Taoism. [The Taoist priest is also called an ordinary donor...]
"... For example, as this donor said, how to avoid less serious illness, I will say a few points for your reference. First, naturally, before the creation, your hands should be washed, it is best to wipe your hands, instruments, and patients with alcohol; and then, when diagnosing and treating patients, you should naturally be as clean as possible, such as houses, mattresses, sheets, bedding, and cloth strips covering and binding the affected areas. These are best boiled..." Zhang Xianyong continued.
"The real person makes sense. Water must be boiled before drinking. These clothes and bedding must be covered with subtle creatures. If they can be boiled once, these subtle creatures will be killed once, and they will naturally be much cleaner. It is true, and it is true..." The doctor immediately felt it made sense and agreed.
"...In fact, this method can be used to deal with major epidemics..." Zhang Xianyong added another sentence.
To be continued...
