Nightfall Chapter 65: Peek into the sky
The master loves to eat and is good at eating. As long as he is present and ordering food, of course, it is not the turn of others. The so-called hot and cold meat and vegetables, the king and the minister, the combination is extremely refreshing, and the menu is enough to make people drool.
Those dishes look simple, but the ingredients are actually very sophisticated. They need to be made right now. There is still some time before the dishes are served. The master has already made arrangements, and a pot of iced taro is on the table.
"Desserts pursue sweetness. What I despise most is those foodies who require light desserts. If they want light desserts, you can drink water. What kind of sweets are you eating?"
The master gave Sangsang a bowl of iced sweet taro mash, signaled her to eat more, and then gave himself a bowl, looking at Ning Que, and said, "There is so much fun to fight against the sky, but why fight against the sky? ?"
Ning Que was filling himself with sweet taro mash. He couldn't help but was shocked. He thought that he was still talking about the knowledge of ordering and the principles of food at the moment, and the next moment he turned to the magnificent topic of fighting with the sky. It was too sudden.
The master said: "In Lanke Temple, the little monk Qishan didn't tell you these things?"
Ning Que remembered the conversation between Master Qishan and herself in front of the Qishan Temple.
In that conversation, Master Qishan mentioned legends above the five realms, and mentioned the highest realms in the world, such as the immortality of the Demon Sect, the Nirvana of Buddhism, the emergence of Taoism, and the extraordinaryness of the academy.
At that time, Master Qishan said that in tens of thousands of years, there will always be people who can come to the end of the long road, or reach the other shore, or be immortal. Then, they will return to Haotian's embrace.
Ning Que is most concerned about whether returning to Haotian’s embrace means death or immortality. Master Qishan cannot answer this question. In the past countless years, the Buddhas who have reached that point and the Taoist predecessors who have become immortals cannot answer. , And this is the greatest temptation and greatest fear of monasticism.
At the end of that conversation, Ning Que asked if there were any practitioners even at that point. Still can not ascend to heaven. Master Qishan's answer is that no one can escape the cycle of heaven.
The temple in the autumn rain was very desolate that day, and the sky in the autumn rain was very desolate. Ning Que felt that his body was very cold, because he once again discovered that Heavenly Dao really exists very ruthlessly.
……
……
Master Qishan has passed away. Even if he had some ideas now, he couldn't tell Ning Que again. Ning Que recalled the conversation and vaguely guessed what the Master was trying to say. His body was a little stiff.
The voices of the people down the restaurant are noisy, but the people upstairs are discussing things above the world. This kind of strong contrast makes him feel strange and absurd until he feels a little at a loss.
The master said: "Why fight with the sky? First of all, we must know what the sky is."
Ning Que remembered that he was in the back mountain of the college. After reading the written script of the heavenly book, the conversation with the teacher under the starry night was at the end of that conversation. The master pointed to the night sky and said four paragraphs.
"Whether there is life in Haotian. We don’t know, whether there is a specific form. We don’t know, where is Haotian, we still don’t know, but whether he is conscious, Junior Brother, he made it again at the cost of death Confirmed."
"If there is a heaven, it overlooks the world, the people on the earth who are struggling to survive, and even those who seem to be able to call the wind and rain, can only exist like ants."
"If there is a god, it will not show any mercy or attention to the ants at all, and when a few of those ants suddenly raised their heads to look at it, they even began to produce thin wings and fly into the sky. When trying to challenge it, how can its consciousness and will allow this to happen?"
"If there is a way of heaven, then the way of heaven is invisible and more ruthless."
……
……
These four passages are Ning Que's initial knowledge of Haotian or the so-called Dao of Heaven.
Now he has taken Sangsang to flee for a long time. He has seen the gathering of crows, half a day of light, half a day of darkness, and also seen the golden dragon inspecting its head, the coming of the **** of light, and the four words that the Master once said. It is confirmed that the understanding of heaven has naturally become deeper, but the fear in his heart has also become deeper.
Ning Que looked at the blue cloudless sky outside the restaurant window and was silent.
The master took the spoon, slowly scooped the taro mud to his lips, leaned against the railing, and looked quite relaxed, then he pointed the spoon to the sky outside the window and said: "Haotian is not the sky."
Ning Que said: "What is Haotian?"
……
……
Tian is a very special word. It appears many times in human language, and it often represents extremely strong emotions. Those emotions are either fear or awe, or anger.
For example, there are eyes in the sky, tears in the sky, and if the sky is love, the sky is also old, and there are titles such as the thief, the god, the god, and the god. Even the most commonly used interjection is related to this: sky what!
The sky represents the supremacy, the omnipresent, the irresistible, the kindness and fraternity, and the indifference and ruthlessness, and everything.
"The way of heaven is the rule. The straight line between two points is the closest. The triangle is more stable than the four corners. The light runs the fastest. Water always flows down. Air is needed for combustion. The rules of these worlds are the way of heaven."
The master ate the taro mash and talked casually, and then he threw the spoon in his hand from the window. After a while, there was a cry from the street. It should be that a pedestrian was hit in the head.
"Like water, everything must fall down. This is also the rule."
The arguing voice came from below the restaurant. It was probably the pedestrian who was hit by the spoon in the head. To enter the restaurant to look for the perpetrator, the master should have no such thing. He watched Ning Que continue and said: " If you are in the sea, the spoon will no longer flow down, and the spoon will fall on the ground...or the pedestrian’s head will not continue to fall. This does not mean that the rules are broken, but that other rules come into play."
"If it was not affected by external forces and no other rules appeared, what would it be like? The spoon would keep falling further down, into the abyss, maybe it could appear on Pluto’s table , Of course, I am now more and more sure that without the underworld, there would be no Pluto."
The master put the empty bowl on the table and pushed it in front of Sangsang. Sangsang took the bowl and continued to fill the taro mash.
The master pointed to the bowl in Sangsang's hand and said: "If this table is big enough and smooth enough, if the bottom of the bowl is smooth enough, if there is no girl named Sangsang picking up this bowl. Then it will happen. What's the matter? It's like a spoon that keeps falling. This bowl will keep sliding forward."
Ning Que scratched his head and said, "Isn't this inertia?"
"Inertia? The word is good, but I am used to calling it: the natural tendency of things or rules to exist."
The master said: "This is the life I do."
"Life?" Ning Que couldn't understand at all. Doubt repeatedly asked: "Inertia is life?"
The master said: "When a person is alive, he can walk, jump, think, eat, blink, and shit. After death, he becomes carrion and bones. Moreover, these things cannot be done. The shape, composition and characteristics are completely changed. ."
"When we are alive, we must ensure that we can continue to walk, jump, think, eat, blink and shit, and ensure that we look like human beings, which means that the characteristics of shape and composition can survive."
"This kind of existence is life."
Ning Que was puzzled and said, "But animals can walk, jump, eat, blink and shit."
The master said: "But they can't think."
Ning Que said: "The donkey of the big scalper and the little uncle can definitely think."
The master said: "But they don't look like people."
Ning Que said: "What if we can make them look like people?"
The master said: "If you have this ability, then they are people."
Ning Que shook his head again and again, and said, "How can this make sense?"
The master said: "How can this not make sense?"
Ning Que was stunned, then finally figured it out. A long one looks exactly like a human. A life that can walk, jump, eat, blink, shit, and think, isn’t that a human being?
"Everyone wants to live, to maintain their own shape and inner existence. This is life. Looking at it broadly. Human society also wants to maintain its own shape and inner existence. For example, words such as calligraphy and painting, such as Organization, so this is also a kind of life."
The master said: "The stone also has life, and it also wants to maintain its own shape. Its means is hard. If you want to destroy its life, you need to overcome its hardness. Water also has life, either clear or turbid, or A vast ocean or a stream is speechless. If you want to change its shape and characteristics and destroy its life, you need to cook it and dry it."
"Life is the continuation of its own form. Since the Dao of Heaven is the rule itself, then if it also has life, its life is to ensure that these rules are always valid and will not be destroyed."
At this time, Ning Que had no idea what to say, but fortunately, the dishes came.
Three people ate 18 dishes, a very hearty meal.
The master kept giving Sangsang some food, and then kept introducing and persuading: "You have to try this dish. Poor boy, I haven't had a good life with Ning Que these years. You know how many people there are. For delicious things and fun things, follow me these days and enjoy your blessings."
I only ate roasted lamb shank and tasted Song national dishes. Ning Que and Sang Sang were a little bit unsatisfied. Fortunately, the Master really deserves the name of a thousand-year-old foodie. .
The master was holding a cup of double sprouts to drink to clear his belly, and it was very enjoyable to watch.
Ning Que burped full, thinking about the words the Master had said before, feeling as heavy as his stomach, rubbing his somewhat numb face, ready to ask the question.
The master put down the teacup and said: "Haotian has two sides, one is the objectivity of the rules, and the other is that if it maintains the objectivity of the rules, it will show the same life as a creature."
Ning Que asked: "So?"
The master pointed to the wolverine tabletop of the cup and pan, and said: "A person needs to eat while he is alive, and he also has to eat while he is alive."
Ning Que looked at the soup dripping on the dish, and suddenly felt terrified and disgusting.
