My Side Job is a Trader

Daoist Songfeng said: "The ancients used to call human beings a combination of body and spirit. The body is the concept we are talking about now, but the spirit is the conscious side of our human beings. Using words that modern people can understand To describe it, the spirit body is the so-called soul, but the spirit body is much broader than the soul.

We Taoists believe that the body is as important as the spirit body. The two depend on each other and are indispensable. However, Buddhism believes that the body will die of old age sooner or later. possible. "

Liao Chen clasped his hands together, obviously agreeing with this statement.

Daoist Songfeng went on to say: "The reason why traditional medicine seems to be a bit superstitious, in fact, it is not the medical technique that people understand to treat the body at all, it is specially used to nourish the spirit body, and Western medicine used to have Some gods and gods, but with the development of the times, humans finally chose to remove some mysterious things, leaving pure means of healing the body, forming the medicine we see today."

When Daoist Songfeng said this, Zhang Xin suddenly remembered something, so he speculated: "Master, you said that the current medicine is Western medicine, which is purely a means of managing the body, and anatomy is also a part of modern medicine. Then Could it be because the corpse lacks a spirit body, so it is impossible to find the meridians?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Daoist Matsukaze said: "None of us are engaged in biological or medical research, so we cannot answer your question."

The more Zhang Xin thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, because when communicating with Wei Zhiren, Wei Zhiren once told him that even if the corpse was cut into micron-sized slices, the existence of meridians would not be found. Gaps, but that is completely irregular, and it does not conform to the description of meridians recorded in traditional medical books.

Zhang Xin kept this idea in his heart, thinking that when he returned to the Shanghai stock market, he would go to Wei Zhiren to communicate with him immediately.

After all, this can be regarded as a research direction, and it is better than research stagnation.

Now that we have talked about the topic of the spiritual body, Zhang Xin simply stated his, Wei Zhiren and other scientists' conjectures about consciousness.

"You mean that hell or heaven may really exist, but they may exist in a way that we can't understand now, so we can't find a trace?"

"Yes, my team and I speculate that consciousness may also be a special kind of existence, which cannot be detected by current means, and consciousness is very likely to have some unknown properties, such as being able to travel across time and space."

Everyone felt a little unbelievable, this was completely beyond the scope of everyone's cognition, and it sounded like a fairy tale.

Suddenly, Master Liaochen began to mutter in a low voice: "Consciousness, spiritual body, hell... Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss..."

"Ah! I see."

Liaochen suddenly became very excited, no longer the calm and composed appearance before, and even became a little incoherent.

Daoist Songfeng knew that he must have understood something, so he quickly calmed him down and told him not to get excited.

Liaochen said: "I remembered the true meaning of the rainbow recorded in the scriptures. Many scriptures describe the death of a Buddhist eminent monk as turning into a rainbow light and going to the sky. Is this because the spiritual body of the eminent monk left his body? , was sent to the legendary Western Paradise by an unknown existence?"

Daoist Songfeng murmured: "This can be said, but why does our Taoist school also talk about Huahong?"

Liao Chen said: "Hey, it's not that your Taoist seniors have absorbed some of our Buddhist theories. Don't forget that the records of Taoist scriptures about Huahong appeared after the Song Dynasty. Before the Taoist so-called immortality, there was no such thing as immortality. There is no trace to follow, we don't know whether the person finally became a fairy or died in an unknown corner."

Daoist Songfeng was not to be outdone and said: "You old bald donkeys have the nerve to say that our Taoist school secretly learned from your Buddhist school. Didn't you also learn the nine-character mantra of our Taoist school?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the nine-character mantra belongs to our Buddhist family, and it was passed down from the Buddha."

"Bullshit Buddha, have you seen him? If you haven't seen him, say it was passed down from the Buddha. Shameless, I also said it was passed down from our Taoist ancestors."

Facing the sudden dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Zhang Xin and Li Xueer stood aside and could only helplessly watch them argue.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two to get along peacefully again. Zhang Xin couldn't believe it.

Daoist Songfeng said: "What? Do you think we will fight to death because of some differences in ideas? We are all Chinese, not those madmen from the West or the Middle East. Those people are really crazy. If there is a disagreement, a fight will start, and even a war will be launched over what to call God. Our Taoists and Buddhists both solve problems through debate."

"You two, until now, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, don't we all learn from each other and make progress together? It's a good thing to learn from each other, and it won't turn into a pool of stagnant water in the end."

Zhang Xin also doesn't want the two of them to affect their relationship because of some ideological disputes. Although they should often do this, their relationship is still very good.

Liaochen thanked Zhang Xin, and then said: "After listening to Zhang Xiaoyou's words, I suddenly don't have so much fear of death now. It would be great if I could really return to the Western Paradise after death. I don’t know if I’m good enough.”

Daoist Songfeng comforted: "Okay, great monk, you are still in good health now, why are you thinking about these messy things when you have nothing to do, you have done so many good things in the past, and even broke the precepts to save others, if you go If you can’t reach the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, then it doesn’t matter if the Buddha doesn’t cultivate.”

"Amitabha, but the poor monk has indeed broken the precepts."

In the middle of the night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Since the environment on Taihu Mountain is much better than that in the city, Zhang Xin and Li Xueer naturally did not waste the opportunity when they arrived at Zishi. What the two of them didn't notice was that the moonlight seemed to flow like water, flowing into the guest room through the doors and windows. Zhang Xin and Li Xueer seemed to be bathed in the moonlight, and even the two little guys who were sleeping beside them , There is also a trace of moonlight flowing from the mouth and nose.

Liao Chen seemed to have noticed it, and opened two eyes that were shining with white light, looked towards the guest room where Zhang Xin was, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate, but there was a smile on his face.

The moonlight lasted until the two of them finished their practice, and then it became normal. It was no different from the usual moonlight shining on the earth.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them practiced in the same posture again before they walked out of the room, and it happened that Chen and Daoist Songfeng also came out.

Master Liaochen said meaningfully: "You two benefactors, how was last night?"
