Merchants gain a lot from this trip.

With the help of hualanting, the Yu family invited the goddess of the tortoise. They recaptured Ninghai City, the fundamental place of the family, smashed the plot of the butcher, and avoided a man-made disaster. They experienced both ice and fire in one day. They are naturally grateful for this. Even if they give all their gratitude, it is not too much.

Therefore, in addition to the items originally traded, the merchant obtained more than half of the inventory materials half sold and half sent by the Yu family, which can be described as full load.

On the day of departure, there was news that the goddess turtle subdued the three overlords in the East China Sea, re established the status of the Lord of the East China Sea, and ordered to remove the Haixing gang. The Yu family and the Lu family continued to retain the trade agency. The two immediately decided to take this momentum to jointly eliminate the star of the East China Sea and return a peaceful and quiet place along the sea.

Brother Yu, the butcher of the family, was also very single. He immediately announced that he donated a large amount of materials to the front line of Shuxuan Xianzhou against the invasion of the thick soil mainland, entrusted merchant caravans to transport and deliver, and included the butcher in the blacklist of transactions.

There are too many goods, and the merchant's special vehicles can't be loaded. They have to rent a lot of local vehicles and horses for transportation, and the team will go straight to the front line.

In order to prevent accidents, especially the counterattack of the butcher who defeated Ninghai, Shang Chenxi Feishu communication merchant Castle mobilized people to meet him.

Xunzhen took hualanting four people to help escort for a while. When the merchant arrived, they turned to return to zivientiane gate.

Back at the gate, hualanting was most concerned about the war on the front line.

These days, the enemy of the invasion of the thick earth mainland made a large-scale invasion and attacked in all directions. Shu xuanxianzhou was in a hurry to fight, and many sects were still waiting, so he didn't act actively. As a result, many defense lines were broken through by the other side. Until more sects began to participate in the war, he barely stabilized the situation. At present, both sides are in a state of scuffle.

Hua Lanting and other 60 generations of young disciples were impatient and volunteered to fight, but they were pressed down by the door and said it was not time.

Elder Zhou Xi said that only when more disciples of 60 generations broke through the five Qi Dynasty and Yuan territory, and a considerable number of people reached the territory of Liuding and Liujia, would they consider it.

Zhou Xi also made a request privately, saying that it was to prevent elder Xun Zhen's cultivation from falling into a small realm. He asked Lin Xianjing, Yi LiuNian and Zhuge Yun to enter the Seven Star Beidou territory as soon as possible, otherwise the battle time of 60 generations of disciples would be postponed.

With motivation and pressure, Lin Xianjing worked overtime and worked hard under the guidance of their major and minor masters.

The three had excellent qualifications and strong perseverance. Seeking truth not only made them experience the feeling of flying in the sky in advance, but also gave them a pure Qi of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan at that time. What's more rare is that they didn't hesitate to consume their cultivation and used pure Tianlei to expand their meridians and refine their flesh. Therefore, a few months later, the three reached the critical point of breakthrough.

However, the gateway is the gateway. Things that come naturally can be met but not sought. In particular, the Seven Star Beidou realm needs more understanding and opportunity to be achieved overnight.

The three teachers used all kinds of means. There were good words of comfort and persuasion, beating and scolding, and looking for external forces. It can be said that the operation was as fierce as a tiger. When they stopped, they still pestle in situ. The three were stuck in the last sudden.

After a long time, seeing that other martial brothers were making progress, even Lin Xianjing, who was mentally stable, began to be impatient.

Hualanting can do nothing about it. At the Seven Star Beidou border pass, his own experience and feelings are not applicable to others.

In this case, Zhou Xi also saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. After thinking about it, he invited elder Chen Lu'an, a double practitioner of Buddhism and Taoism.

Please ask Chen Lu'an not to make a breakthrough in cultivation, but to adjust the mentality of the three through the perception of cultivation.

On this day, Chen Lu'an took Hua Lanting and Lin Xianjing out to a forest in the douji peaks of the back mountain.

At this time, it was cool in autumn outside the mountain, and then when the summer heat was still running out in the mountain, cicadas were still hissing on the trees in the forest land.

Chen Lu'an said, "this is a place for me to practice at ordinary times. I'll lend it to you today. If you want to break through, you should calm down. You three, start meditating now."

The three people sit together and operate freely, without pole work.

At the beginning, they didn't care, because entering is a basic Kung Fu. They began to learn from the beginning. Over the years, they can quickly enter the quiet level at any time in almost any environment.

However, today is different from the past. No matter how they gather their ideas and carry their breath, they are upset and can not enter the state smoothly.

Hua Lanting was on the other side. He raised his eyes and looked at the trees. Autumn cicadas were noisy, sometimes one after another, and sometimes a hundred cicadas were contending. The sound came to his ears and disturbed people's mind.

Lin Xianjing and others also felt abnormal. According to their current cultivation, let alone cicadas, even beating gongs and setting off firecrackers in their ears could not prevent the three people from entering the realm of selflessness.

This cicada is different.

Chen Lu'an said at this time: "yes, this is the spirit cicada I borrowed from the flutter peak. It is good at pronunciation and killing. It can break the body into the soul and disturb people's clear cultivation. It's nothing to say, so as to sharpen your mind."

"The three of you practice Kung Fu in one wall and settle down. Then put up one ear to listen to me talk about Zen and listen to the sound of cicadas. If you can succeed in the end, you will be perfect today."

"There are senior masters Geng linmang and several other residents who have written articles related to cicadas and Zen. Let me tell you the main idea."

Cicadas are the most representative insects in summer.

The word "Xia" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like a cicada, and this "Xia" is the origin of ancient oriental civilization.

It's hard to say when summer began to sneak into life. When the sun shines high and the first cicadas ring through the earth, everyone can say with certainty: summer is really coming.

Summer begins with a great, beginning with a cicada.

There is always a cicada leading the song with a preemptive voice, which leads to ten thousand words of harmony. One sentence overlaps three times, with clear height. If it is golden, it can be heard all the time.

This summer, like a quatrain, cicadas sound bursts, pingze pingze.

Cicada and Zen, the two shapes are close, the sound is similar, and the meaning is the same.

Both cicada and Zen have the word "single", and the two small mouths on the ancient cicada "cicada" look like two eyes, and then put on silk like thin wings, just like a lonely Zen practitioner wearing a cassock.

Cicada is an insect.

Zen is a method of cultivating the mind.

When the cicada doesn't cry, it stays still.

Zen, just like when cicadas don't cry, is quiet. From outside to inside, from physical stillness to spiritual stillness. Finally, even if the body moves, the heart is still.

Cicada is a Zen, and its sound is Sanskrit.

Cicadas "drink clear dew". Xunzi once said, "those who drink but don't eat cicadas."

Cicada's eating habits are really different. One said that it drank the clear dew on the leaves, the other said that it drank the juice of the tree. Anyway, it was a master who "did not eat fireworks among people", which meant that it was a bit dignified for Zen practitioners.

When listening to cicadas in midsummer, the sound of cicadas is wordless Zen.

The ancients believed that cicadas were noble and clean, "shed out of the turbid and filthy, and float away from the dust". They were invisible and stopped talking. They were born and sounded, just like a gentleman. If they don't sing, they will have a blockbuster.

People like to call cicadas "cicadas".

This name is more interesting: knowledge is great wisdom and the insight to see everything in the world; It is a great detachment, a thorough understanding of no desire, no desire, no self.

Practitioners of Zen advocate penetrating life with great wisdom and returning to the truth with great detachment, so as to achieve great freedom and obtain real happiness.

A little cicada may not think about these mysterious things. It just lives with its heart, not greedy or demanding.

Three thousand trees, one of which lives; It's enough for the long red dust to have a clear wind.

Cicadas are also Zen, one is the voice of nature, the other is inner practice.

A cicada is also a lifelong Zen.

Cicada's life is full of disasters.

Cicada eggs lay in the holes of branches. They have to avoid the sneaking food of Simulium before they have the opportunity to hatch. The nymphs just see the light, and they have to drill into the underground cave before cooling down to carry out new "cultivation".

It was a dark and long wait.

Even a common cicada has to endure for two or three years. Among insects, it has a long life, some as long as five or six years, and one species is willing to wait 17 years!

If you are lucky that you haven't been dug out from the ground for such a long time, the cicada will usher in another transformation - eclosion.

The old shell at the bottom of the ground will crack from the top of the head to the center of the back of the chest, and the soft new body will break away from it. It will tremble, spread its wings, feel the flow of air, and start real life - at this time, there are only a few weeks before it dies.

Years of waiting, only in exchange for a season of singing.

It spent most of its life underground and ended up with only dozens of days of brilliant life in the sun. Thinking of this, you don't find the neat cicadas annoying. Accumulated a lifetime of enthusiasm, vented in a short time, how can this voice not be loud?

In its life, it has experienced darkness and light, bondage and freedom, crawling and spreading its wings, gloominess and singing... It has changed layer by layer between the double doors of life and death.

Cicada singing contains the power of life. It is the outbreak after silence and the success after accumulation.

Born as a man, who hasn't fallen into the soil like a cicada, and who hasn't put on hard armor like a cicada?

If you understand the cicada singing, you may understand life.

Monk Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty, who took scriptures from the west, is the golden cicada in front of the Buddha. He was a cicada in previous lives.

It is said that Sakyamuni was lecturing under the bodhi tree. There was a golden cicada on the tree. The Sanskrit sound lingered and the cicada kept chirping. It disturbed the god Buddha. The Buddha waved his hand and waved the golden cicada into the earthly history.

In fact, whether you are a monk or a mortal, you will always encounter a dull and lengthy suffering like a black hole, but it is such a time that you are about to usher in the growth period of transformation.

The suffering of life is the time of practice.

The adult cicada is the rebirth of the body,

Entering Zen is the nirvana of the soul.

Believe that the confinement outside the body is breaking, and the wings bred in the heart are about to earn.

Chuang Tzu once told a story about a hunchback old man catching cicadas with a bamboo pole. It was as easy as picking up things. So when someone asked him the secret, he said he had Tao, and the so-called Tao is just training. Tie stones to the bamboo pole until you reach a state of "calmness".

What kind of state is that? "The body is like a tree. There is no breath of living people. In my eyes, I only have the wings of cicadas. I concentrate on it."

Catch cicadas and sit in meditation. From the initial restlessness to the separation of body and mind, watching the self and observing the self, we can finally settle down.

Summer without cicada song is lonely. But with the cicada song, some people always dislike it as noisy.

On hot days, cicadas sound like boiling, making trouble from morning to night. Especially at noon when you are sleepy, the more sleepy you are, the more noisy it is, and it will fall asleep.

It's not cicadas, it's our hearts.

To be able to calm down and listen to the cicadas in this restless voice and heat is itself a kind of meditation.

In ancient times, when Buddhist children participated in Zen, they always chose to sit cross legged under the trees and in the mountains with the sound of cicadas, and practice peace of mind.

Cicada sound becomes Zen.

A cicada has been sitting in the dark for many spring and autumn, winter and summer before breaking through the earth and singing. Maybe three years, maybe ten years, sit quietly, wait, and constantly shed the old coat. Each time, there will be one more ring on the tree, and time will pass a little.

The cicada sloughing in the treetops is a sign of the old hard work.

The best Zen realm in life is rich and quiet, not anxious and confused in agitation, nor struggling and chasing in flashiness.
