Chapter 70: Li Chunfeng's Soul Out of Body
"What a man doesn't look at the feast of the Qiluo, only the poor house." Li Chunfeng applauded, "I wonder if this verse was written by you myself, or was written by Master Daoxin?"
When he heard this, Xu Jingzong looked at Li Chunfeng with some confusion, as if he didn't understand why he said that. Li Anqi looked at Li Chunfeng with a happy look. It was estimated that in his opinion, Li Chunfeng's words were helping him question the annoying little monk in front of him.
Lu Chengji frowned slightly again. He now regretted introducing Lu Chengzu to them, first Li Anqi, and then Li Chunfeng. They all seemed to think that Lu's descendants could only cheat. The problem was that the first poem was forgot, but the second poem could obviously be seen as an impromptu work. Isn't this enough?
"This is the old work of the family master Daoxin," Wukong nodded to Li Chunfeng, "For a long time, the family master has used this verse to teach me Zen children."
"Master Daoxin is indeed compassionate, but does not Buddhism say that worldly laws are equal?" Li Chunfeng continued, "Does Master Daoxin not plan to take care of the people in this Guanzhong area?"
"As the saying goes, things have priority. Instead of adding icing on the brocade, it is better to provide timely assistance." Wukong answered righteously, "There are countless monks and Taoists in Guanzhong, so there is no need for a master to add icing on the brocade. However, there are still many confused sentient beings in Jiangnan Road and Lingnan Road that need to wait for the redemption of their souls."
After Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, he raised the wine glass in his hand to Wukong.
"Rescue the confused sentient beings..." Li Anqi sneered, "It sounds so nice, it's not just about fighting and pulling, using hell to scare, using heaven to buy money. If there is really hell, the first one to go to hell will be you monks and Taoists who use heaven and hell to make money."
As soon as this sentence came out, the audience suddenly became silent
Wukong looked at Li Anqi with a look of surprise. To be honest, Wukong really didn't expect that this brother Anqi, who looked second, could have such an incisive view of faith.
I have to say that Brother An Qi, you are really a bunker. But since you don’t like me, then it’s okay to talk about monks. But now Li Chunfeng and Li Shenxian, one of the two most powerful high-level Taoists in the early Tang Dynasty, are sitting here. Is it really okay to say that you have pulled the Taoist priests in?
Wukong looked at Li Chunfeng who was still smiling, but then looked at Li Anqi who was curling his lips and looked indifferent. Oh, you can't afford to hurt the arrogant and slutty young man.
"Who said that heaven and hell does not exist?" Wukong looked at Li Anqi with a naive smile, "Brother Anqi, you must know that the heart can be hell, and the heart can be heaven. Heaven and hell is just a matter of your thoughts."
"Hahahahahahaha" Li Anqi laughed exaggeratedly, "Since heaven and hell are just in my mind, why can't I feel it?"
"In life, there are six senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind." Wukong said with a smile, "Only when you see it can you be color, and only when you hear it can you make sounds. Brother An Qi, you can feel everything in this world because there are six senses. I believe Brother An Qi, you know this?"
"Of course, do you think I haven't read it?" Li Anqi answered proudly.
"I once said that the five colors make people blind, and the five sounds make people deaf. Therefore, although people have six senses, these six senses also block your true heart, Brother An Qi. Therefore, in the Taoist sect, these six senses are also called the Six Thieves, which means that these six senses are six thieves who blind you." Wukong nodded to Li Chunfeng with a smile, "I'm right, Brother Li?"
"It's right" Li Chunfeng nodded.
"So, if you want to know what a true heaven of thought is. If you have a thought of hell, you need to capture your mind and leave the six thieves without a trace."
"It's another thing that has no shadow." Li Anqi curled his lips, "You monks and Taoists know how to talk about things that others can't do."
"Okay, if you want to persist, I have another way." Wukong calmly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out three light green pills. "As long as you eat this thing, within a quarter of an hour, I can leave your six thieves without a trace, and then you can feel what is a heaven of thought and a hell of thought, should you try it?"
"Just give it a try." Li Anqi replied without hesitation, "Take it for me."
"No," Lu Chengji and Xu Jingzong said in unison.
"Brother Chengzu, what are you?" Lu Chengji continued.
"This is considered to be the Five Stones." Wukong tilted his head and thought about it before answering.
"Oh, it turns out to be Wushi San." After Lu Chengji and Xu Jingzong looked at each other, they let out a long breath. If it is Wushi San, there would be no problem. You should know that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, taking Wushi San has always been a habit of the nobles. In this era, it is generally believed that Wushi San is a good thing that can cure diseases and strengthen the body without illness.
During the Sui Dynasty, there were more than a dozen prescriptions for Wushi Powder, and at least forty or fifty prescriptions for disbandment. Whether you eat Wushi Powder when speaking or not, whether you have any stones or not, can prove whether you are a nobleman in a certain sense.
There was a joke in the past, saying that an ordinary person heard all day long that those nobles ate five stone powder. Later, one day he wanted to pretend to be thirteen, so he said at home that he had also stoned. Someone asked him, "How could you stoned hair?" He said, "The rice I ate yesterday was not washed clean, there were stones inside, and now it is sold."
"However, Brother Chengzu, why is your Five Stones Powder like this?" Just as Lu Chengji and Xu Jingzong were talking, Li Chunfeng had left his position at some point and ran to Wukong. He was watching carefully with a light green ball, and sticking out his tongue to lick it. "This is not like Five Stones Powder, it is like the essence of plants and trees."
Oh, Wukong suddenly remembered that the Lord Li Chunfeng in front of him and his master Yuan Tiangang, even the person who could not say that he knew the best of Wushi San in the Tang Dynasty. You must know that Li Chunfeng had been 68 years old after taking Wushi San for a lifetime. As for his master Yuan Tiangang, no one knew how old he lived. Anyway, the legendary thing is that he was still alive after Li Chunfeng died.
Li Chunfeng said this and made Lu Chengji a little nervous. Although he didn't like Li Anqi, if Li Anqi did something at his house, then Fanyang Lu family would really offend Li Baiyao out of thin air.
"Brother Li has good eyesight. This is not the standard Five Stone Powder, but its nature is somewhat similar to Five Stone Powder." Wukong smiled at Li Chunfeng, "Five Stone Powder is a hot medicine that needs to be relieved by cold, mainly acting on the human body. But my medicine is mainly aimed at the soul and is completely harmless to the human body."
"Targeting the soul of human beings?" Li Chunfeng continued to ask with interest, "So what's the use of your drug?"
"Brother Li should know that human souls live in the body, just like we wear clothes, but our clothes are changed every day, and only after the body dies will the soul leave the body." After Wukong looked around, he threw out a word that shocked everyone, "This medicine is used to make the soul leave the body when the body is alive."
"Can the soul come back after leaving the body?" Li Chunfeng continued to ask.
"If it was Brother Li, I believe it should be possible, but..." Wukong glanced at Li Anqi contemptuously, "As for others, I can't guarantee it."
"Brother Chengzu, since this drug is so dangerous, why do you have to give An Qi to take it?" Xu Jingzong interrupted.
"Don't worry, since I took out the medicine, I have confidence that I can keep his soul from leaving his body." Goku smiled and said, "Even if his soul really leaves his body, I have a way to guarantee that his soul can be stuffed into him again."
"Why do you do such a dangerous thing?" Xu Jingzong continued.
"I just said that if he wants to understand the scene of heaven and hell in thought, he needs to block his six senses." Wukong continued, "The easiest way is to seal his six senses and separate his soul from his body during this period, so that he can directly pass through the manas and feel the Alaya consciousness."
"But if you do this, won't you die?" Xu Jingzong asked in surprise.
"To be precise, if you are not dead yet and your soul has not left your body and is just about to die." Wukong answered seriously, "I call this feeling near death Zen. Basically, even if a person without wisdom, as long as he is enlightened by the near death Zen, he can understand the principle of heaven and hell?"
"How is it, Brother An Qi, do you want to try it?" Wukong stretched out his hand and said to Li Anqi, "In this world, not everyone can have such experience of playing around at the gates of hell. Don't worry, if you die, how about I lose my life?"
"Hmph" Li Anqi snorted, but he never dared to say anything else to take it over and try it. If he didn't know anything, he could be fearless, but after you really let him understand the consequences, it would be difficult for him to maintain the courage he had just now, or to be stupid and bold.
People are all such smart people’s fear comes from the unknown. The courage of a fool also comes from the unknown.
"Is this medicine really so effective?" The silly boy Li Anqi retreated, but Li Chunfeng next to him became more interested. "So can I come and try it?"
"Brother Li, do you want to test it?" Wukong tilted his head and said, "Aren't you afraid of this poison?"
"This medicine is not poisonous. I have tried it just now." Li Chunfeng answered confidently, then took the remaining two pills from Wukong's hand, threw them into his mouth, and then picked up the water cup on Wukong's table, and gave the medicines in one bite.
Wukong really can't miss the word "take" to Li Chunfeng. If you try it, you will know if this medicine is poisonous? Who do you think you are? Shennong? Even Shennong was still poisoned by the heartbreaking weed.
As for whether this medicine is poisonous, what else do you need to ask?
"Brother Li sit down first, hug Yuan Shouyi quickly." Wukong quickly pulled Li Chunfeng to sit down in front of his own cases, "If you feel dazed, don't worry, I will take good care of your soul."
"Don't come over, either of you." Wukong used his hand to climb up from behind the other people from behind the cases, Xu Jingzong, Lu Chengji and others waved, "If Brother Li's soul leaves his body, it will be unfavorable to you and the soul of Brother Li."
"Since that's the case, what are you doing when you sit next to me?" Li Anqi immediately seized this opportunity and planned to stab Wukong again.
Wukong glanced at him contemptuously again, "Can you compare yourself with me with the mortal body like you?"
"Ha, I am a physical mortal fetus, aren't you?" Li Anqi continued, "If you are not a physical mortal fetus, what are you?" As he said, Li Anqi laughed and turned around, saying to the others, "It's so funny. He actually said that he is not a physical mortal fetus. Everyone said, "What's it that he is not a physical mortal fetus? Arhat or a Bodhisattva?"
To Li Anqi's surprise, none of the people present was amused by his words, but looked in front of him with a horror, as if something incredible was happening.
When Li Anqi looked back, he happened to see Wukong pinch his hands and make a gesture that seemed to be picking a flower, but in his hand, it was not a flower, but a stirring flame. The flame of a lampstand next to Wukong had already been extinguished.
"I don't believe it, this must be a trick." Li Anqi rubbed his eyes, "There must be something in this little monk's hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wukong carefully put the flame he had picked up before Li Chunfeng's closed eyes, and then in Li Chunfeng's ears with a low and trembling voice.
"Now the medicine is working, and you feel light all over, as if you are about to fly." Wukong continued to say with a low voice beside Li Chunfeng, "This is the soul that is beginning to escape from your body. Don't resist this feeling, don't resist. Now you can feel that you are moving forward step by step, getting easier and easier as you go..."
With Wukong's words, everyone present could clearly see that Li Chunfeng's face showed a hint of relief, as if he was really relaxed.
"Now..." Wukong said in a low voice in Li Chunfeng's ear, "What did you see?"
"Light..." Li Chunfeng paused for a moment and said, "Soft Light..."
"Now, you look at this ball of light..." Wukong continued in this special voice, "Look at the ball of light ahead of you... look at it carefully... This is the road to heaven." Then, in the stunned eyes of the others, Wukong took away his hand holding the flame. To everyone's surprise, the flame was hanging out of thin air.
"Did you see it? This shining road to heaven?"
"Yes, I saw it." Li Chunfeng said in a happy voice, "I saw it. It was the Yuqing Realm. The one in the middle was the Yuqing Heavenly Lord. It was the Taiqing Realm. The gods of the heavens were there, and I actually saw it..."
"Hao Yuan Shouyi, Brother Li," Wukong continued in a low voice, "It's not yet time for you to become an immortal. Brother Li, your mission in the world has not been completed yet, come back... come back."
As he said that, Wukong reached out and snapped his fingers. The flame that was burning in front of Li Chunfeng was extinguished. "No" Li Chunfeng's face showed a look of panic, "I just need to take another step, and take another step."
"Brother Li, come back," Wukong continued in a low voice, "Don't forget your mission. You are already very tired now... very tired. You want to take a rest."
"I'm very tired." After Wukong's insistence, after a while, Li Chunfeng finally stopped planning to continue taking another step.
"I'm very tired." Wukong continued to say to Li Chunfeng in that special voice, "You want to rest now. After waking up, your soul will return to your body again. Now, go to sleep." As he spoke, in the stunned eyes of everyone present, Li Chunfeng really lowered his head and fell asleep in a drowsy way.
Wukong turned his head and showed an innocent smile to everyone, but no one present would really treat him as a child about ten years old.
"I really didn't expect that after Brother Li's soul came out of his body, he could see heaven directly. Brother Li was really bright and clear. There was nothing that could make him feel regretful at all. As a result, he almost left his soul out of his body." Wukong said with a smile, "Fortunately, he was very successful in returning to his soul. Now let Brother Li sleep for a while, and then when the soul and body merge again, he will wake up."
"If you didn't let Brother Li return to his soul, would he become an immortal?" Lu Yuanshi continued to ask curiously.
"If it was Brother Li, it should be like this..." Wukong made a careful look, "You can see from Brother Li's soul that Da Luo Tian can see that Brother Li thinks he is also the kind of immortal exiled mortal, but if someone else is..."
As he said that, Wukong glanced at everyone present, especially when Li Anqi stopped, "That's the soul left the body. If it took a little longer, even I wouldn't have saved me."
For some reason, this time when Wukong's eyes flashed, Li Anqi twisted back unnaturally.
"Well, the time is almost over." Wukong smiled and patted Li Chunfeng's ear a few times, "Brother Li, wake up."
After Li Chunfeng yawned, he slowly opened his eyes.
Everyone present opened their mouths in surprise.
