Lingshan.

Above the main hall, the sound of Buddha is lingering.

"Senior Brother Shao Yun, I have a question. ”

The middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged on the futon, dressed in a gold-leaf monk's robe, raised his hands and standing palms, and lying in the crook of his arm was a burning copper stick, the texture of the copper stick was extremely tough, and the sword eyebrows and starry eyes could not tell the specific age from his face alone...... The years of practice are permanent, but the temperament of this monk is quite vicissitudes.

Opposite him, in the depths of the Buddha hall, in the direction of the light projection, a monk sat in the light, unable to see the face clearly, unable to see the figure clearly, only the hazy outline.

Shao Yun.

The eldest disciple of Master Xuyun.

After the retreat of Master Xuyun, it was Shao Yun who was in charge of many mountains in Lingshan and was the abbot of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and he was able to shout "Shao Yun" as a senior brother...... The identity of this monk with a stick is not trivial.

"In the Futu Cave, there is an ominous approach, the Xiaoleiyin Temple bathing Buddha Festival, and the final result of the Zen law dispute has not yet come. This monk, with a murderous face, raised a pair of sword eyebrows when he spoke, and there was a faint fire in his eyes, "It stands to reason that even if the Buddha has not yet decided, those wishing fires should also arrive at Lingshan with cause and effect." ”

"Jin Yi. ”

Shao Yun, who was sitting in the light, turned his back to his junior brother, read the name of the other party, and said slowly: "You have already seen the hexagram, why do you bother to ask me again." ”

Jin Yi's heart moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

I didn't dare to look directly at the figure in the light.

He said in a low voice: "Senior brother, the hexagram shows ...... These wishes have been lost. ”

Shao Yun did not respond.

The man carrying the burning stick raised his head and raised his voice, "The Bathing Buddha Festival will be guarded by Da Keqing, this is Song Que's dereliction of duty!"

The old man sitting in the light said softly: "Over the years, in the battle of Zen law, you have to fight for it, life and death, I don't participate, the master left a proverb, which means that he has seen the future...... Let's wait and see. ”

"Proverbial ......"

Jin Yi's eyes were hard to look at.

Before the retreat, Master Xuyun did leave a prophecy.

Jin Yi didn't see the original words, but he knew the general meaning...... The ancestor said that the position of the Buddha will be seated by a young man who leads the Futu Buddha Cave, and the future Lingshan will also be led by the great practitioner who led the Futu Cave.

This is already very obvious.

Neither Zen nor Ritsuko were the ones who triggered the Futu Cave.

Many years ago, there were people who performed such "feats".

is that he keeps writing to raise objections, and wants to exclude Song Que, the "big guest" of Lingshan.

Induce the mutation of the floating slaughter cave.

It is "twisting fire".

He Jin Yi has been fighting with Zen Buddhism for so many years, where can he easily lose to a "proverb", the talent of Lizi Daoxuan is difficult to find for thousands of years, and it is very likely to become the most powerful "Fa Zheluo" in the history of Lingshan.

As long as Daoxuan defeated "Shenxiu" in Xiaoleiyin Temple.

So this proverb ...... And what's the use?

The controversy over Zen law is a foregone conclusion.

Lingshan urgently needs a guide, especially in the current situation, the prince is very close, and the eastern realm is also pressuring, if you pin your hopes on Song Que again...... This guy who once went on a killing spree ten years ago is very likely to become a sinner who buried the Lingshan Dao system with his own hands.

Song Jinglian has not returned to Lingshan for almost twenty years.

Coming back from Changbai Mountain this time, Song Que, as his father, will definitely find that the "ancient" of the year

The Sanskrit curse "has not yet been completely ended, new hatred and old grudges, evil to the innocent, and nirvana that has lost its mind, who can cure it?"

He Jin Yi didn't know if he could step into the Nirvana realm in his life.

If he really wants to face Song Que, he will not have the courage to be on the Daxiong Treasure Hall today.

Let out a long breath.

Jin Yi lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I counted the hexagrams of Shenxiu and Daoxuan. ”

Shao Yun was still silent.

The great sect master of the Vinaya Sect raised his head with a smile and said the most gratifying thing in the hexagram last night, "My disciple Dao Xuan, qi and blood are lacking, but there is still vitality...... However, the Zen Shenxiu of Zen Buddhism, the soul is outside the hexagram plate, and it is no longer possible to divination, and there is no Shenxiu in the world. ”

Shao Yun turned his back to him, unable to see the smile on his lips.

Listening to the tone, it is not difficult to hear that this sentence was said with some regret.

Shenxiu is a young genius who is admired and has a bright future in Lingshan.

His death will be regretted by many people, and many will regret it...... And there will be a grand funeral, if you attend the funeral of Zen Zen, then Jin Yi will definitely not show such a look.

He looked at his senior brother, he had never pretended to be a Buddha over the years, and he had cultivated his mind before cultivating the Buddha, and the reason why this news made him happy was ...... Shenxiu's death confirms the result of this Zen law dispute.

"Senior Brother Shao Yun, you don't need to wait for Dao Xuan to return to Lingshan, you can now announce the outcome of the Zen Law Dispute. Jin Yi bowed his head deeply and said softly: "The hexagram is clear, senior brother, you also know in your heart that Jin Yi did not deceive." ”

"Not really. ”

A tired voice came from the light, "Why do you have to drive away Song Que?"

This voice echoed in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the light in the hall shuttled between the flying curtains, it was difficult to determine whether it was Master Shao Yun sitting in the light, or Master Shao Yun himself was the light, these soothing rays of light fell on Jin Yi's body, and it seemed that the aura contaminated by the robe of the great sect master of the Vinaya sect had been purified by three points.

Jin Yi pondered for a long time.

He replied meekly: "Senior brother didn't like Song Que from the beginning. ”

"But the junior brother has a scale in his heart, knows black and white, and knows the importance clearly. Jin Yi said softly: "So these personal prejudices will not affect the decision of the sect on major matters. Over the years, both Vinaya and Zen Buddhism have hoped that the senior brother can transfer Song Que from afar, a foreign scholar from an improper background, who has interfered in too many affairs in Lingshan as a secular guest...... Because of the existence of characters like Song Que, more and more cultivators want to step into Lingshan and go to Futu Cave to find an opportunity, where is there still purity in Lingshan these years?"

Shao Yun didn't rush to answer Jin Yi, but asked softly, "What else?"

Jin Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Back then, because of the ancient Sanskrit curse of Jinglian, Song Que went on a killing spree in Lingshan and killed my two closest relatives. Holding a butcher's knife and defiling the Buddha's door, this person cannot be kept. ”

Shao Yun still said the same thing.

"And so. ”

"Jinglian escaped from marriage, the heavens are hanging, and Song Que's choice will bring disaster to Lingshan. Ordered to stay away is a plan to protect Mingzhe's life. ”

"And so. ”

This time it was silence.

There was a long silence.

Jin Yi could name 10,000 reasons for going away from Song Que, but he knew that none of these reasons could convince Senior Brother Shao Yun...... There is only one person who can let Song Que leave Lingshan, and this person's heart is filled with the light of Lingshan, if he can't see that Song Que has brought "destruction" to Lingshan, then all reasons are meaningless.

And Jin Yi has never vetoed the importance of Song Que

。

He pondered for a long time and then spoke.

"Senior brother...... The biggest reason...... It's just that Song Que can't be controlled. ”

The great sect master of the Vinaya Sect said with a smile: "Song Que is a person who disregards life, if one day, sacrificing us and sacrificing Lingshan, he can save what he cares about...... Then he will not hesitate to do it. That's why I want my brother to go away from Song Que. ”

The old man sitting in the light didn't ask why.

He seemed to be thinking about it, too.

There are many problems in the world that cannot be thought about...... One is that you can't get an answer, and the other is that when you think about it, the problem that is not a problem becomes a problem.

Jin Yi got up, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "The outcome of the Zen law dispute, I think Senior Brother will know soon...... Jin Yi will prove something for his senior brother. ”

He took the burning stick and left the hall of the Mahavira Treasure Hall.

The old man sitting in the light, thoughtfully, behind the curtain of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, is a forbidden area, which is filled with countless holy lights, Shao Yun sits here alone, meditating, meditating, just like the "Xuyun" before the retreat, as the big disciple of Xuyun, he has never been able to realize the Tao pointing to "eternity" in the light like the master.

The Nirvana of the entire Spirit Mountain, except for those blocked by the secret method of the imperial family, is only Shao Yun...... and Song Que, the big guest.

There is no way he can drive Song Que away.

He is old, and he does not have a transcendent longevity like his master, so he is likely to leave this world on a night when no one is paying attention, and the next day the Mahavira Hall will no longer be full of light...... Lingshan also didn't have a strong enough leader.

Lingshan needs Song Que.

He knew very well why the two sects of Zen and Vinaya kept impeaching this great guest...... The power struggle in Lingshan has never been as turbulent as it is today, and the departure of the master and his old age have accelerated the process of this power struggle, and in fact it is impossible for him to stop it, because Lingshan needs a clear result of the struggle.

This is the battle of the Zen laws that he is waiting for, the final note of the bathing Buddha puja.

But what if things head for the worst......

The old man coughed dullly, and a drop of crimson blood fell from the light, dripping on the pages of the ancient book spread out on his knees, the ancient Sanskrit words flashed, and the breeze blew the curtain from his back, and the blood quickly dried up, and the pages turned with a clatter.

Lines of tadpole secret texts.

It looks mysterious......

But.

Completely different from what those practitioners outside the hall have been guessing, the mysterious "scriptures" in Shao Yun's hand do not record the so-called Mahayana Buddhism, or the unfathomable magic techniques.

This is the Codex left by Master.

I wrote about some essays, feelings, and daily life of spiritual practice.

The old man opened his eyes and closed his eyes, which was the last sentence that Jin Yi offered.

The sentence that shook him.

"Song Que is a person who disregards life, if one day, sacrificing us and sacrificing Lingshan, he can save what he cares about...... Then he will not hesitate to do it. That's why I want my brother to go away from Song Que. ”

The old man sitting in the light kept coughing.

Struggle, thinking, hesitation, pain.

The wind through the hall slowly stopped.

The page on his knee rested on the one where the blood dried.

Master Void Cloud's handwriting had become very blurry and shallow.

"There are only two things in the world that you can't look at. ”

"One is the light, the other is the human heart. ”
