When we ascended the leading steps of the Shaolin Temple, the presiding monk had been waiting in front of the mountain gate for a long time with dozens of monks.

Seeing Juefa, Kongwen bent down deeply and said to me, "We are deeply honored that Your Highness has arrived. ”

I smiled and said, "I'm here with Master Juefa. ”

Juefa smiled slightly and said, "I took all the disciples out of the mountain to help His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong get rid of demons. ”

Kongwen looked at me, a look of embarrassment on his face.

I smiled and said, "It's Master Juefa who said that he wants to come to the temple to have a look, you are free, when I don't exist." ”

After speaking, he stepped aside, sat down on the big rock under the big tree, and leisurely raised his legs to look at them.

Kongwen ignored me, turned to an old monk behind him and said, "Go to the Dharma Cave in the back mountain and get the things in the secret room." ”

The monk's face froze, but he still bowed down and said, "Yes, presiding." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the temple.

Kongwen smiled and said, "Is the ancestor willing to enter the temple to pay homage to the Buddha?"

Juefa waved his hand and said, "No need, the Buddha inside is the Buddha, and the Buddha in the heart is also the Buddha, where to worship, it's all the same." ”

When he heard the words, he was stunned, and then buried his head and said: "The ancestor Buddhism is profound, and the Buddha has been taught." ”

I don't know how to gently tug the corners of Zhiguang's clothes from behind, Zhiguang turned his head and said with a smile: "I don't know junior brother, is there something wrong with you?"

I didn't know how to tighten the cloth bag behind me, but I muttered softly, "We haven't had breakfast yet." ”

Although the voice was small, Juefa heard it, smiled slightly, and said, "Ancestor and all the senior brothers, but you haven't had breakfast yet?"

I smiled and said to Juefa and the monks: "Masters, don't be impatient, I have arranged for two disciples to go and prepare, this is the matter, and there will be food when you go down the mountain." ”

Kongwen said: "Your Highness's arrangement must be proper, but this matter is here, it will take at least two hours, I see the ancestor and the senior brothers, let's eat something and drink some water first." ”

Turning his head, he gave a low command, and several monks hurriedly ran towards the temple.

After a while, I saw a group of small novices come out with tables, chairs and benches, and after a while, two rows of long open-air tables were set up and gruel and steamed buns were placed.

Two tables were set up under the tree, and several plates were set up, but inside were some pastries.

I made a few more cups of tea.

Juefa smiled and said, "Thank you so much." ”

Turning to Zhiguang, he said, "Let's take your junior brothers to dinner." ”

Kongwen said to me: "Your Highness, the mountains and fields are vulgar and the hospitality is not good, please sit down and eat some fruit." ”

I frowned, looked at the pastries on the table, and said, "The life of Shaolin Temple is good." ”

Juefa smiled and said to me: "I and other ascetics, we can only eat some coarse tea and light rice every day, Your Highness is different, Shaolin Temple entertains Your Highness, it is indeed a little vulgar, but it is also better than my Dalin Temple, please forgive me." ”

I smiled and said, "Master, I'm not a hypocritical person, since you have this statement, then I'll send Shaolin a brand new hall another day and connect Dalin Temple to electricity, what do you think?"

When he heard this, his face was overjoyed.

Juefa still said with an unchanged face: "This is very good, thank you very much, Your Highness." ”

I waved my hand and said, "In a few days, we will recover the Central Plains, and then restore the entire country, and then I will report to the central government and ask for credit for Shaolin Temple and Dalin Temple." ”

When Kong Wen heard this, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Juefa said lightly: "Your Highness should know the significance of my construction of Dalin Temple, so please report to Shaolin Temple." ”

Kong Wen was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of shame, and said to Juefa: "Ancestor, my Shaolin Temple is willing to send seventy-two stick monks to protect His Highness and Ancestor. ”

When Juefa heard this, he was a little surprised, and turned to me and said, "Your Highness, if the Shaolin Temple is willing to send seventy-two earth demons, we can form a big Beidou array to deal with the nuns, and the grasp is even greater." ”

I smiled and said, "I don't understand this, everything is arranged by the master." ”

The monks ate very quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they all got up, picked up their cloth bags, and stood respectfully and solemnly on the side.

Kong Wen also led a team of monks, holding copper rods, and stood in front of the mountain gate.

Juefa and I got up and walked to the steps in front of the mountain gate.

Juefa nodded slightly to me and said, "Dare to let His Highness know that this Beidou Great Array was originally a Taoist magic array. ”

I nodded, thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earthly evils are exactly what Taoism says.

Only Tingjue continued: "It's just that in Huaguo, Buddhism and Taoism have been difficult to distinguish since ancient times, so after I arrived in Huatu, I took this Beidou Array to change it slightly and used it as the mountain protection circle of Shaolin Temple. Here's a demonstration for Your Highness. ”

I nodded again, but I couldn't say anything.

Juefa demonstrated the formation for me, and he must have wanted to explain something.

It's just that this old monk is always a picture of a high-ranking monk, and halfway through his words, just like my previous leaders, just want me to understand the spirit and say it, but it can't show that everything is under his control.

Just thinking about these worldly things, he saw that Juefa nodded to Zhiguang and Kongwen, who were leading the two teams, and said, "Let's start." ”

I saw that the two teams of men and horses took out their weapons and mixed them up, and in an instant they became seven small teams of fifteen people each.

Only the empty hearing, the wisdom and the ignorance, but they stood in a triangle, bowing their heads and standing solemnly, motionless.

Immediately after that, seven small teams took turns to bypass the three of them, and after two laps, they stopped, separated again, and each stood back in his place, put his weapon at his feet, bowed his head, and chanted together: Amitabha!

I watched them dumbfounded, and my mind ran past 10,000 alpacas.

Juefa smiled and said, "Your Highness can see it?"

I muttered, "Well, I really don't understand." ”

Juefa smiled slightly and said, "Okay, demonstrate it again, Your Highness must take a serious look." ”

I looked at Juefa speechlessly, and whispered, "Master, have you ever really been in battle and killed the enemy in this formation?"

Juefa didn't answer, but only yelled at the audience: "Be serious, you just had breakfast, can't you run?"

I had no choice but to look into the field again.

I saw that the monks were really energetic and ran again.

This time, the speed is indeed a little faster.

I looked into the field, but I still didn't see anything.

Turning his head and about to ask, he saw Juefa shouting: "Are you dumb? ”

A gust of wind suddenly blew, stirring up even the dust on the ground, and then bursts of Buddha sounds fell from the sky.

I was stunned and turned my head to look at the field, only to see that there had been a change.

At this time, the monks who were running formed an uninterrupted circle under the blessing of the wind.

In the circle, under the lightning-fast shuttle of the monks, the Zhiguang on the left was gone, turning into a huge black ball, while the empty text on the right became a white ball.

One hundred and one black two balls, floating in the air, the surrounding monks are getting faster and faster, and gradually no longer see the figure, at this time the surrounding circle suddenly rose into the air, and a curved curve, twisted from the middle of the two circles, and the area on the left, suddenly turned into a dark void, the area on the right, but brightened, emitting a dazzling white light.

Once again, I stared dumbfounded at the huge gossip pattern below.

At this time, I was suddenly stunned, and I saw that I didn't know what was standing on the boundary of the circle, and it was gone, but there was a cyan ball that was constantly rotating around the circle on the periphery of the Bagua map.

Suddenly, the cyan ball suddenly broke into the Bagua diagram from the periphery, but it was bounced out in an instant, and continued to swim around the periphery of the Bagua.

I was looking at it in a daze, but I heard Juefa yelling: "Collect." ”

But I saw that the speed of the Bagua Diagram gradually slowed down.

In an instant, the wind stopped, and people appeared.

The monks stood on the ground again, bowed their heads and chanted a Buddha name, and each returned to his place, still two teams of people, standing solemnly on the spot.

Juefa turned his head to me and smiled, "Now, can Your Highness see it?"

I was shocked in my heart, but I still murmured: "Divine skill, divine skill." ”

Yes, it works.

There is no need to say more about the gossip diagram, yin and yang are compatible, and all things are annihilated.

This uses pure manpower to form a yin and yang fish, so as to achieve the effect of restraining the enemy, but it uses the technique of Qimen Dunjia, that is, Liuyi, Sanqi, Bamen, and Jiuxing arrangement, resulting in countless changes.

"The so-called gossip Jiazi is hidden by ghosts. I couldn't help but sigh.

Turning my head and seeing Juefa looking at me in surprise, I smiled and said, "I've read some easy-to-learn classics before, such as ......."

I was dumbfounded for a while, because I had read a book of I Ching basics, or an annotated version, but I couldn't explain it clearly, because it would make me seem uneducated. Let's make one, this old monk has also written, and he must have read a lot of miscellaneous books, in case he is recognized, but he is going to laugh and be generous.

He was hesitating, but he said in amazement: "Your Highness has thought too much. This formation, however, uses Buddhism to form a situation of death and life, paving the path of reincarnation, that is, allowing the enemy to enter the cycle of life and death, so as to gradually consume its energy and finally extinguish. ”

I looked at Juefa dumbfounded, but my heart was very happy.

It's a good thing that I didn't make up any easy-to-learn classics, it turns out that the old monk's formation is only with the help of the shape of the gossip, and its purpose is still the theory of reincarnation Buddhism.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was glad that I didn't lose my ugliness, and suddenly remembered something, so I turned my head and asked: "Master, I can understand that this Master Zhiguang and Master Kongwen are the fish eyes of the Yin and Yang Fish and the eyes of the whole array, but I don't know the role of the master, what is it?"

Juefa was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question, and stared at me for a while.

After a while, he smiled awkwardly, leaned towards me slightly, and whispered: "When I first made up this formation, there were one hundred and eight people under my door, but this formation only needed one hundred and seven people, so I made up a watcher." ”

I was stunned.

Lookout, what's the matter?

But Tingjue continued: "I also know that this is not good, after all, they are all my personal disciples, so I added some drama to him, let him test the smoothness of the operation of the formation, and by the way, he can also confuse the enemy, making the enemy think that this formation has three formation eyes, but in fact there are only two." Hehehe!"

I looked at the old monk's shameless expression, listened to the old monk's laughter, and couldn't help but shake my head, sigh and be speechless.

The old bald donkey is too treacherous, but I like it.

Immediately, Zhengse said to the monks: "Thank you for the masters, please take a break, and later, we will go down the mountain." ”

At this time, I saw more than a dozen monks, using a crowbar to carry a long box to the mountain gate.

Putting down the box, the monks bowed to Kongwen and left.

Kong Wen turned to Juefa and said, "Ancestor, you have brought your things. ”

Juefa smiled, stepped forward, opened the box, took out a sackcloth-wrapped thing, and brought it to me as if it were a treasure.

While peeling off the sackcloth, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the magic weapon I used to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger back then. ”

I looked up and saw that what he was holding in his hand was a swarthy demon-slaying pestle.

I reached out to catch it, but the pestle fell sharply.

I was secretly frightened, and hurriedly transported the qi of the dantian, and held the pestle in my hand steadily.

At the same time, he carefully looked at this demon-slaying pestle, which was only about one meter, and thought: This thing weighs at least a few hundred catties, but I don't know what it is made of.

As if knowing what I was thinking, Juefa beckoned to him, trotted over, and said dog-leggedly, "Master, what do you command?"

Juefa handed him the demon pestle and said, "This thing is given to you, and from then on you will guard your highness's left and right, and you will not be allowed to return to Dalin Temple until you destroy all the demons." ”

I didn't know how to look at me, and then at Juefa, he put the demon pestle across the crook of his arm, put his hands together and bowed, and said, "Obey the master's orders." ”

On the way down the mountain, I couldn't help but ask Juefadao, "Master, why do you want to let you follow me?"

Juefa smiled and said, "Well, I'm selfish. ”

I smiled and said, "But if you don't know how to go out of the mountain to practice?"

Juefa Zhengse said: "This is just one reason. Another reason is that I don't know that this child is the only one I have taken in as a disciple since I was a child, and he has not yet tasted the sufferings of the world, love and hatred, how can he cut off the fate of the earth and purify the six roots? ”

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed and walked forward.

I couldn't help but feel stunned, and my respect for this old monk arose.

Yes, to cut the dust, there must be a dust edge first.

I don't know if I have been a monk since I was a child, and my nature is brilliant, how can I understand the meaning of cutting the dust?

It's like my favorite Buddhist and Chinese thousand-year-old cultural popularization book since I was a child, recorded in the Journey to the West, Tang Seng didn't have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties in order to prove the avenue? And in these sufferings, there is not only family affection, parting with the Tang Emperor's brother, falling in love with Brother Monkey, and even having ambiguous feelings with his daughter King, aren't these all Tang Seng cut off the dust?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but murmur: "A master is a master, and he is really a Buddha in the world?"

Unexpectedly, Zhiguang happened to walk by me, and when he heard me say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness is thinking too much, and the master told the junior brother to come out of the mountain, just because of ......."

My heart sank, and I blurted out, "Because of what?"

Zhiguang shook his head and said, "Because I don't know that my junior brother can eat it too much!"

“......”
