Dream Picking Records

"Is there anything special about the sarcophagus? Why do I feel the presence of holy power?" Wang Xiao asked Yu Changzhou.

"It is said that Mr. Yangming sat in silence in the stone coffin to clear his mind, until one day he suddenly woke up, let out a long howl and walked out of the stone coffin, then danced and cheered, feeling as if the clouds and fog had dissipated and suddenly there was light and he had an epiphany."

Wang Xiao pondered and said, "So this is where Mr. Yangming broke through the barrier. No wonder."

I saw several people lying in and out of the sarcophagus, lying in and out again, as if they wanted to use it to comprehend the saint's way.

From their angry and unwilling expressions, it can be seen that they have gained nothing. In the end, they even want to fight for it.

It was obvious that they had all persisted for several days to get here, and they all had perseverance beyond that of ordinary people, but they were driven crazy by their obsession and desire.

"Let me start by throwing out some ideas."

"Be careful, don't be obsessed like them." Feng Tingjun reminded Yu Changzhou.

"Well, I have the Tao in my heart, and I won't indulge in greed."

Yu Changzhou said this as he walked past the dizzy people and came to the sarcophagus.

A mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there. An ordinary stone coffin can also become famous and even have spirituality because a saint once attained enlightenment in it.

The other people in the cave recognized his identity and looked at him closely to see if he could gain anything.

He calmed his mind, stuck to his own path, and didn't allow himself to be confused by external things. Then he raised his foot, stepped into the coffin, and then slowly lay down.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was no special change at the scene. Yu Changzhou, who had been bitten by mosquitoes for half a day, stood up from the sarcophagus. He shook his head at everyone and gained nothing.

"Are you okay?" Wang Xiao and Feng Tingjun were concerned about his condition.

"Thank you both for your concern, I'm fine. I was just lying in the sarcophagus, calming my mind, just like my usual practice, except I was in a different place." Yu Changzhou said.

"It's not okay to have desires, and it's not okay to have no desires either. Is this place a scam?" Feng Tingyun expressed dissatisfaction after driving away the mosquitoes. They had come here in vain if they got nothing.

Yu Changzhou smiled and said without any complaints, "Originally, Mr. Yangming did not leave any relevant words. It is just our own wishful thinking."

"Oh, by the way, I never thought of asking, did he ascend to heaven directly after becoming a saint, or did he stay in the human world for a while?"

"Heaven and earth do not allow the existence of saints in the world. He ascended directly into heaven."

"Then where did Brother Yu get the idea that the mind is the principle that he mentioned after he successfully attained enlightenment?" Wang Xiao wondered.

"Because at that time, a good friend of Mr. came here to visit him and happened to witness the process. He also recorded some of the words he left before ascending into heaven. This is how some of his insights can be passed down to future generations."

While they were discussing, Chi Yan helped Lin Yi to experiment, but she didn't realize anything even after lying in the sarcophagus.

"What do you mean, Brother Yu?" Wang Xiao heard the two words he emphasized.

Yu Changzhou said with a sigh: "Ah, it's a pity. At the last moment, Mr. Yangming typed out four words with his own method, intending to pass it on to that good friend. Unfortunately, the heaven and earth blocked it, and the four words were imprinted into the void. I, the descendant, therefore, have no chance to see it!"

"What a pity!"

"Yes, the saints born in this kind of environment must have left behind extremely precious great principles!"

After they expressed their regret, Feng Tingjun began to urge Wang Xiao to try entering the stone coffin.

After all, Lin Yi had also been in there, although he came out with nothing.

Wang Xiao couldn't resist the nagging in his ear, so he also lay down. He really lay there for a long time, and Lin Yi almost couldn't help but take action, but there was no movement around him, so he let down his guard.

Wang Xiao read through the quotations of Wang Yangming that Yu Changzhou passed to him twice. He felt that there was nothing unusual between heaven and earth, let alone those four words.

He then stood up, tilted his head, and spread his hands. Feng Tingyun gave up, and the others also calmed down.

"Since there is nothing in this cave, let's go back quickly!" Feng Tingjun felt itchy and his head felt even heavier.

"Brother Yu, what are your plans?" Wang Xiao did not answer him, but asked Yu Changzhou first.

Yu Changzhou said: "Since I'm here, I plan to learn from the ancient sages and meditate here for a few days."

Feng Tingyun shook his head like a rattle, "Forget it. Instead of spending this time, why not find a quiet place to practice enlightenment without being disturbed by others? Wouldn't that be better? Wouldn't it be easier to realize the truth?"

He denied it, saying: "The more difficult the situation is, the more time we need to cultivate our mind. Cultivating the mind is also an important part of cultivating the Tao."

"Who said before that when God gives a man a great responsibility, he must work hard?" Wang Xiao joked at first, then became serious and said: "Do you still remember Senior Huang Wancheng, the junior brother of Senior Louwai Yuntian?"

"Huang Wancheng... I remember now. He was the one I met in the same village as Yang Shuan and the others."

Wang Xiao took out a book, which was the one Huang Wancheng gave them, a scripture that expounded the great way of nature.

"That's right. He said that the small secluded people live in the wild, and the great secluded people live in the city. The same principle applies to the current environment. A quiet and leisurely environment may make people relax easily, but it is more important to overcome the external noise. What Brother Yu said just now is very reasonable. The more difficult the situation, the better time to cultivate your mind. Whether you are an ordinary person, a high-ranking official, or a cultivator, the heart is of vital importance. Where you are now is your place of practice. The so-called practice is not a psychological massage to calm people, but a basic operation to deal with all things in the world." He patiently told Feng Tingyun about his insights.

Yu Changzhou was rarely embarrassed. After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he scratched his head and said, "I was talking about what Mr. Yangming once said."

"Ahem, you see, what the two seniors said is the same thing, you should listen carefully."

"Okay, okay, all that long list just wants me to have a heart that can withstand hardships and not be disturbed by everything! Watch me figure out those four words for you!" Feng Tingjun made a summary, then sat down directly on his shoulder and started practicing, ignoring the bites of mosquitoes.

Wang Xiao and Yu Changzhou smiled at each other. The little guy's comprehension was absolutely impeccable, but he was too young and lacked training. It was a good opportunity to train him today.

Under the unwritten rule, it is forbidden to fight in the cave, otherwise they will be besieged by all parties. Therefore, Wang Xiao, Lin Yi and others can sit on the ground safely, trying to sense the words imprinted in the void.

Most people no longer insisted on fighting for the opportunity to sleep in the sarcophagus. It seemed that they all knew that it was just a psychological effect and they just wanted to give it a try.

Some people couldn't stand it and left, while new people joined in. In the end, they all sat cross-legged here, trying their luck with the saint.
