Ye Xiaotian said in amazement: "You...you know his heart?" If you can think of anything in front of a person, he can immediately know, how terrible is this
The Venerable was startled, and said, "Does he have a clear mind?"
The venerable suddenly came to a sudden, smiled and said: "Ah! The six masters of Buddhism?"
The venerable had traveled all over the world in the past, and understood all the three religions and nine streams. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Well, he has a clear mind. The Tathagata knows what is in the hearts of all living beings. Know it as it is. If you have desires, you know there are desires. Without desires Know the mind without desire. Know the mind with hatred. Know the mind without hatred. Know the sky, the earth, people, things, and spirits..."
After reciting this sutra, the Venerable smiled lightly and shook his head: "I don't have the ability to understand his mind, but I have a mind."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Heart Gu? What is that?"
The Venerable said: "Manpower is sometimes poor. Because of various defects and insufficiencies, human beings have invented various tools as aids, so that they have achieved things that they could not have dreamed of. Heart Gu is borrowed by people to help them understand. An instrument of the mind of others."
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "There is such a tool in the world?"
The Venerable smiled and said: "Everything in the world has its own wonders. There are some things that we humans can't do, but other creatures can. We can't fly, but birds can; we can't breathe in water, but fish can; we can't smell. A smell, a hound can; a sound we cannot hear, a bat can.
Some strange bugs can sense your thoughts, but as a different kind, they don’t understand when they sense it, but if we can borrow this ability, we can naturally understand what the same kind of bugs are thinking. Let me say this, you understand? "
What the Venerable has said is very simple, of course Ye Xiaotian understands it, Ye Xiaotian said in amazement: "Then...doesn't that mean that no matter what kind of thoughts anyone has in the world, they can't hide it from you?"
The Venerable shook his head, and said shyly: "When I first practiced Mind Gu, I also thought that if I mastered this mind-reading technique, I would be able to see everything, and from now on, I will rule the world without any disadvantage. I learned it by hand, and I realized that this is the root of disaster and pain, so it is better not to learn.”
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "How could this be?"
The venerable said: "There is no omnipotent ability in the world, and the same is true for mind reading. I have mastered mind reading, and only when someone stands in front of me, when he is thinking, I know that he is thinking. What. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. One way of thinking at one moment will be another way of thinking at the next moment. Who can know for sure
Once you think he wants to do this, go all out to deal with his thoughts, but the next moment he may have changed his mind. At that time, you will instead make the mistake of preconceived. What is even more sad is that what you can really see often is always the people around you, your relatives, best friends, subordinates who follow you all your life...
Everyone has selfish thoughts, but they will use reason, emotion and loyalty to you to suppress such selfish desires. They may have thoughts in their hearts, but they will never put them into action, but you can only know what he is thinking , but you don't know whether he will do that, even if you know he can't do it, you will still be unhappy.
You don't know that it was good at first, but when he thought about it, you knew, can you still treat him as good as before? Your attitude towards him has changed, can he still treat you as well as before? Some misfortunes could have been avoided, so they came true. "
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, and couldn't help being startled secretly. He understood: Mastering this ability is indeed not a kind of happiness but a nightmare. If he had this ability, would he, his parents and brothers still love each other like this? ? If he has this ability, can he make any friends
No wonder Yang Yinglong said that the Venerable has rarely seen a happy face for decades, and has never had any friends. He is an old man who is extremely lonely. Perhaps every generation of people who practice this Gu art will end up like this in the end. Get rid of the pain.
The Venerable smiled and looked at Ye Xiaotian, the round face that seemed to be wrinkled and wrinkled due to the evaporation of water had a serene and gratified expression: "You are a smart child, you already understand what I mean, right? You know what other people think, is it interesting? No! It's extremely boring, believe me, that is by no means an enviable ability, and your life will become boring because of it.
People often say that the Buddha can see people's hearts. If this is true, then the Buddha must be unhappy. If God had this ability, God would not be happy. Therefore, I have been practicing in closed doors since thirty years ago. Others think that I am studying Gu art. It is true that I am studying Gu art, but what I am studying is how to close this ability of myself. Otherwise, I will Every day you live is a day of pain. "
Ye Xiaotian: "..."
The Venerable sighed, and said: "Six years ago, I finally succeeded. I closed my mind-reading skills. Since then, I feel like I am living like a human being."
Ye Xiaotian said: "But... Your Honor just now..."
The Venerable smiled and said: "You have written all your thoughts on your face, but I still can't understand?"
At this time, the gardener had already washed the fruit and brought it to them in a silver plate. The Venerable smiled and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Come, have a taste. This is the unique fruit you mentioned in the western country."
The red fruit is placed in a silver plate, freshly washed with spring water, watery, heart-shaped, the size of a thumb, with tiny golden particles on it, Ye Xiaotian picks up one and fills it in his mouth, it is juicy and sweet, and has no seeds , very delicious indeed.
The gardener put the plate on the small table between the two of them, and the venerable also picked up a piece, chewing on the luscious and juicy fruit, smiling and looking into the distance, where there is a high mountain with sparse vegetation and an earthy red color. The Venerable saw that Ye Xiaotian was also looking there, showing curiosity, and said: "There is a forbidden place for us, called 'Thunder God's Forbidden Land'. Because that mountainous area often thunders. I don't know if you have heard of an old saying called 'Han is afraid of officials, Miao is afraid of thunder'.
As for you Han people, you are most afraid of seeing officials, "you will not go out if you starve to death, and you will not complain when you die", but we Miao people are most in awe of the thunder god. There are often thunders in that place, and there will be droughts and thunders when it is not raining. , so the surrounding tribes have listed it as a forbidden area.
There have been daring people who have broken in before, but the terrain there is very complicated and the direction is difficult to identify. Even the most experienced hunters, once they break in, it is difficult to get out. Since then, this place No one dared to go. "
Speaking of this, His Holiness asked abruptly, "What do you think of Deva?"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and said, "Dewa?"
The venerable said: "Yes! Oh, you should call him Ge Dewa, he is one of the eight elders of the temple."
Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered that Mao Wenzhi had been poisoned by Gu, and when the tribal leader Gedu Lao came to hear the news, he said that he wanted to find Elder Godewa to treat him. Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I have never met this elder, I only heard about him from Gedold."
The Venerable smiled and said: "Well! He has always done his duty, and he doesn't walk around much, so he is naturally not as ostentatious as Gegewo. Hehe, this is his strength and his weakness."
Ye Xiaotian was wondering about his kung fu, the venerable suddenly changed the subject again, and asked with a smile: "I have never seen the Westerners you mentioned, but I believe this is the first time you have tasted this kind of Western fruit. How does it taste?" Sample?"
The Venerable sometimes gives people a very wise and shrewd feeling, and sometimes he is like a common old man, his thinking jumps quickly, and he suddenly thinks of a topic and has a few words with you. On the topic, he inexplicably mentioned another matter.
Ye Xiaotian could only follow the old man's wishes, chatting with him, until the sun was setting and the sky was filled with colorful clouds, the venerable stood up unsatisfied, and said: "Others are trembling in front of me, only you It's different, I am really happy to chat with you. I hope you can often come to accompany me, a lonely old man."
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly got up and said: "Yes! Then this junior will leave now."
The venerable nodded, and said to the gardener who had been standing by, "Ah Bao, see off the guests for me."
Miao people's names, regardless of gender, are monophonic names. When the elders call the younger generation, they only need to call him the single name, such as "Bao", "Weng", and "Li". Die", the name of this gardener seems to be Bao. His Holiness traveled around the world when he was young, and he was probably not used to single names, so he added the word "A".
Ah Bao nodded, made a "please" gesture to Ye Xiaotian, and led him out. This Ah Bao didn't seem to like to talk very much, and Ye Xiaotian followed him silently without making a sound. At the end of the vaulted corridor, the beautiful and enchanting concubine was still standing there waiting.
Abao nodded to the concubine expressionlessly, turned around and went back, the concubine smiled at Ye Xiaotian and made another gesture.
Perhaps in this temple, only the venerable can speak Chinese, so other people only use body language to communicate with Ye Xiaotian. This way, Ye Xiaotian is like entering a hospital for the deaf and dumb. Silently followed the beauty out of the temple.
Walking behind the alluring beauty, peeking at her snowy figure, smelling her faint fragrance, Ye Xiaotian's tense attitude of walking on thin ice in front of the samurai who can see everything is gradually relaxed.
The concubine sent him to the lake, instead of sending him across the lake, she just gave some instructions to the boatman in Miao language, and then smiled and asked Ye Xiaotian to board the boat.
On the high temple, there are countless arched windows, and the windows are decorated with stone beasts. The stone beasts are crouching on them, their wings are retracted, and their sharp claws are tightly clasped on the upper edge of the windows. appearance. In one of the windows, Elder Gegewo, who was dressed in black, looked at Ye Xiaotian who was leaving by boat, his face was gloomy, his eyes were like a stone beast crouching on the window.
Ye Xiaotian left the temple, and his nervous mind immediately relaxed, but his good mood only lasted until he landed. He boarded the lake bank and walked not far to the village. As soon as he reached the small bridge, a figure flashed from behind the bushes out.
Ye Xiaotian was taken aback: "Could it be that someone came to recognize his godfather again?"
After he saw this person clearly, his mood that had finally relaxed suddenly became tense again. This is an extremely beautiful girl, with pink, glossy and fat, and smoky eyebrows. Ye Xiaotian didn't know her name, but he knew that she belonged to Yang Yinglong. People, this girl is exactly one of the two girls dancing in Yang Yinglong's banquet.
Like the concubine, this young girl made a charming invitation gesture to him, but she could speak Chinese, she opened her mouth lightly, and said in a delicate voice: "Bai Xiaoxiao has met Brother Ye, my master has invited you!" !"
