Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 40 The Voice of Silence

   The troubles in Li Chen's chest are like encapsulated packages.

   Between his hands, it was constantly compressed.

  The sweat on the head flowed down in strands, and the muscles on his body bulged.

  The originally fair skin turned cherry red.

   It's like being baked on a flame, and it's half-ripe.

   This time he made the palms together, which was even more difficult than the last time he was in the Three Treasures Temple.

   You must know that after he awakened the four major physiques, his strength was no less than three thousand catties.

  In every aspect, my body is far better than before.

   But that's it, the palms can hardly move.

  Zizizi.

   Unknowingly, sparks appeared between the hands.

  It seems that something is hindering the clasping of hands.

   Li Chen gritted his teeth and insisted, the troubles in his heart became more raging.

   roar~

  Suddenly, a dragon cry came from his body.

   But the distance between the two palms was only reduced by two fingers.

   This is already the limit of his body, but the distance between the two palms is still far away.

   Li Chen's eyes were red, he no longer knew how to give up.

   The more unable to join hands together, the more you exert all your strength.

  The so-called strength without desire means that when people have no desire, they will become extremely tenacious and will not give up.

  At this moment, putting hands together has become Lichen's instinct.

  There is nothing in my heart.

   One thought becomes a demon.

  One thought becomes a Buddha.

  crack~

  Two palms together tightly.

   Li Chen did it!

  In an instant, the wind was surging.

  Blood moon, red sea, waves, haze...

  This world, everything.

   Like a glass.

   Li Chen's palms were closed, and it was instantly shattered and turned into nothing.

replaced by:

  Golden warm sun, white tower.

  Colorful light and graceful Zen sound.

   Wandering in the sacred Buddha light.

   Li Chen looked at the White Pagoda in front of him, not moving for a long time.

  He realized that "joining ten for refuge" is the way to overcome afflictions.

  It is not without the meaning of persuading people to worship Buddha.

  The ten-square tower is not on this bank, not on the other bank, and not in the middle.

   That is to leave this shore, it is the other shore.

  Where the heart goes, it is the other shore!

   And it is always in front of you, never going anywhere else!

  The mirror of Xieyu flashed.

  【You suddenly realized that 'the four elements are all empty', the four kinds of constitutions are united, and you have awakened a special constitution: the Xutuohuan body. 】

  【Xu Tuo Huan body:

  Personality: Unscrupulous, obsessive

  Status 1: The body is free from foreign objects, and its vitality, various resistances, and recovery abilities are far beyond ordinary people.

  State 2: When in obsessive state, set the obsessive behavior, and the body will automatically execute it.

  Description 1: As long as the liver is not dead, let the liver die.

  Description 2: Official plug-in. 】

   Xu Tuo Huan body?

  Li Chen has never heard of it.

   Just feel that my body has become extremely relaxed.

  It's like wearing armor for more than ten years and finally taking it off.

   Turbulent qi, gushing blood, and endless energy.

   are telling him that this is no longer an ordinary mortal body.

   Regardless of experiencing the new physique, he resolutely took a step and set foot on the stairs leading to the White Tower.

  The colorful Buddha light shines on the body, giving it a warm feeling that has never been felt before.

   One step, two steps, three steps...

  At the end of the stairs, the entrance of the White Tower.

   Li Chen raised his head and looked up. This is a five-story solitary pagoda.

  There are no traces of engraving on it.

  But inexplicably, it makes people feel extremely sacred.

  Li Chen took a deep breath and finally reached this step.

  Raise your legs and lower your feet.

  铛~

  铛~

  铛~

  …

  I don't know where the bell on the top of the tower rang.

   At this moment, everything seems to be washed by the bell.

   Ethereal silence.

  The inside and outside of the Ten Square Pagoda are the same, and they are all extremely white.

   The first floor is empty.

  There are only two lines of gatha hanging in the middle:

   "Peace and motion are like the earth, and meditation is as deep and secret as a secret treasure."

   Legend has it that this is Buddha's praise to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

  It is also the meditation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

  Especially the word 'quiet', which seems to have been enlarged on purpose.

   This is hinting at what Lichen should do.

quiet.

   There are many kinds of realms.

   Keep silent, keep quiet, keep still.

   Li Chen walked to the middle and stood still, holding the rosary in one hand and standing on his chest with the other.

   turned into a clay sculpture, motionless.

   I don't know how long it took, and finally a bell rang.

   Immediately after, a staircase emerged from the ground until it connected to the second floor.

   Only then did Li Chen carefully exhale a mouthful of stale air.

  Take a light step, the stairs are still there, and the hanging heart is let go.

   Follow the building body and slowly step onto the second floor.

  Just like the first floor, the gatha is still hanging on the wall.

   "Peace and motion are like the earth, and meditation is as deep and secret as a secret treasure."

   This time, the word 'quiet' seems to be bigger.

  A higher level of static?

   Li Chen thought about it, and walked to the center.

  Different from the empty space on the first floor.

  Here is a white futon.

   Li Chen made up his mind.

   Get rid of distracting thoughts and sit on the futon.

  If the first floor tests the tranquility of the outside world.

  Then the second level tests inner peace.

   Meditate in meditation.

  As if the world has nothing to do with me.

  Five-color Buddha light shines into the pagoda.

   Li Chen didn't move.

  The breeze brushed his clothes.

   Li Chen didn't move.

  The Zen sound filled his ears.

   Li Chen didn't move.

   Enter the stillness of concentration.

   lies in contemplation, concentration, and not being disturbed by external objects.

  铛~

  铛~

  The bell rang again.

  The building on the second floor gradually rises.

   Li Chen finally opened his eyes.

   A moment of tranquility made him feel more relaxed.

  Climb to the third floor.

   It is still the same verse.

   "Peace and motion are like the earth, and meditation is as deep and secret as a secret treasure."

  The word 'quiet' is bigger again.

   so that other words are covered under it.

   Li Chen frowned, the more advanced Jing?

  In addition to the quietness of the outside world, the inner peace.

  Is there any static that is more thorough and transparent than these two?

   Li Chen was puzzled, but he still walked to the middle position.

  Compared to the second floor, there is another white vase here.

   There is a budding lotus in the bottle.

  The flower buds are delicate, and the bottle sets off a profound sense of Zen.

   Li Chen couldn't help but sit down and watch.

   Unfortunately, after a long time, he let out a long sigh, still not understanding the meaning.

   As a last resort, I entered meditation again.

quiet.

   Quiet, quiet, calm, quiet.

  One layer is more important than one layer, but none of them is the sublimation of tranquility.

  What is static?

   Li Chen's eyes were closed tightly, he was holding a rosary in his hand, and he had no other thoughts.

  What is static?

  Static is still.

  Quiet means no sound.

   is silent.

   Voice of the Silent.

   Silent?

  Suddenly, Li Chen opened his eyes, staring at the white lotus in front of him.

   Never dared to move again.

   The Voice of the Silent? !

  The flowers bloom silently!

  In an instant.

  The world seemed to stand still.

  The motionless monk.

  The motionless flower.

  Between the sky and the earth, there is only a pair of motionless eyes glowing with an inexplicable look.

  Time is passing by.

  The monk does not move.

  The flowers don't move either.

   Only those eyes, with more light.

  The only living light.

   What is the voice of the silent?

  The voice of silence is concentration.

   is ecstasy.

Yes…

wait!

   This is the moment.

  The faint snow lotus twisted its branches, and the buds slightly opened the young leaves.

  The pure white and flawless petals are stretched out, blooming with infinite grace.

  Suddenly, the Buddha room smelled fragrant.

  The bell rang suddenly.

  铛~

  铛~

  铛~

   The perception of 'quietness' in these two chapters is purely Yueguang's own imagination.
