In the early morning of this day, the mist in the mountains, the pines and cypresses in the forest are swaying, the unknown wildflowers beside the road are slowly growing, and a small stream not far away is flowing slowly.

A person pushed the door and came, and the animals outside the house turned their heads to look when they heard the movement, but it was Guichen rubbing his sleepy eyes, and slowly walked out of the door wearing a mink fur, although it was April at the moment, but the humidity in the mountains was very thick, Yan Ning knew that Guichen was weak, so he was extra careful with him, and added clothes to him when he went out. In the early morning, the mountains are the time when the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the birds in the forest are singing, and the air is exceptionally fresh, which makes people feel quiet.

When Guichen saw such a scene outside the door, he suddenly became interested, turned his head and said to Yan Ning very happily: "Mr. Yan, come on, the scenery in this mountain is really extraordinary, I'm afraid it is not much better than the fairyland on earth!"

Although Yan Ning's face was full of potholes, he also smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, this place is really an outstanding person, not only has a talent like the Master of Faxiang, but also such a beautiful scenery, which is rare in the world." Guichen nodded violently, and said with a flattering smile: "If you can live here for the rest of your life, I'm afraid it will be a great joy in life." Yan Ning was well versed in medical science, and shook his head when he heard this: "Although the scenery here is good, but the humidity is very heavy, your body is weak, if you live here all the year round, it will be harmful to you." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that he objected, Guichen couldn't help but wave his hand, looking indifferent, and said, "I don't know if I can live until then, why do you say so much?" Yan Ning was still waiting to say more, but Guichen turned around, turned his head and asked, "Huh, why don't you see the Master of the Law Phase?"

Xue Qingbi came out of the house and heard this, so he said: "He has gone to the Yuquan Temple in Qianshan!"

Suddenly, Yan Ning took two steps closer, reached out and gently knocked on his head, and said hatefully: "It's really not growing, do you think it's like you!" Guichen was in pain, covered his head, and exclaimed in a muffled voice: "Master is diligent, you can't bully me! It hurts!" Yan Ning flicked his sleeves and snorted, "Do you know what day it is?"

"What day?" Guichen didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Yan Ning glanced at him and said with a solemn expression: "Today is the eighth day of the fourth month!" Guichen looked at the two of them and asked with a puzzled expression: "Of course I know that today is the eighth day of the fourth month, but does it matter?"

Xue Qingbi said: "Today is the birthday of the Buddha, and the people in the rivers and lakes also call it Longhuahui, and this Yuquan Temple is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, so the monks all over the world will gather everywhere." ”

"Oh!" Guichen suddenly woke up when he heard this, and said: "Since all the monks from all over the world will come here, isn't there a lot of excitement to see?" Yan Ning glanced at him, and said slightly angrily: "I know how to play, we have something to do today!" Guichen pouted unhappily: "Since it is a monk's party, what does it matter to you? and lied to me that there is something serious, hum!"

Yan Ning heard him speak lightly, he was angry in his heart, and he was about to teach him a lesson, but Xue Qingbi stopped him and said: "In addition to the Longhua Society today, there is another major event, which is to crusade against the "Sick Tiger Monk" Dao Yan. Guichen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned and asked, "In this way, Master Dao Yan will also come?" Yan Ning paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking for a while before saying: "In my opinion, Dao Yan is a scheming warlock, and after weighing the pros and cons, he will definitely not be invited easily; But if you don't come, I'm afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes will pour into Beiping City, and King Yan will definitely suffer from the enemy, and now the court is at war with King Yan, and King Qin of Yan is afraid that it will fall short. ”

"Then will he come?" Guichen asked anxiously: "If he comes, he can just find out what happened back then, and it will save me another trip." Yan Ning shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Dao Yan has always been known for his wisdom, and if he comes, he must have a perfect strategy, not to mention that he must want to get the Qilin Treasure more than Zhu Yunwen, so we still have to think of a good countermeasure." ”

Guichen was in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it so troublesome? There are so many things." Seeing him like this, Yan Ning also persuaded: "Let's not say anything else, if you want to take revenge, I'm afraid that such a monkey will fall short!" Xue Qingbi nodded when she heard this, and said solemnly: "Little baby, Gou Jian can hide Feng for ten years and gather for ten years in order to restore the country, can't you bear it for a moment for revenge today?"

"The kid has been taught!" Guichen heard this, his face was blue and white for a while, and he suddenly fell to the ground for a while, and said: "Forgive me, the two seniors, the boy was speechless for a while, don't blame him." ”

Yan Ning patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It's good if you know, as long as you promise not to make trouble for a while, it's okay for us to take you to see the excitement." Guichen had to nod in agreement.

But when he said that Guichen and the two of them had a word, they had no intention of enjoying the scenery in the mountains anymore, but just looked at the direction of Yuquan Temple in a silent daze. After a long time, Guichen was already impatient, looking back, but saw that there was a quiet in the house, he turned his head and entered the house, only to see Yan Ning was packing up, all kinds of strange things were packed a lot, he knew that Yan Ning was good at using poison, so it was not strange to have strange things, so he only asked: "Can you clean it up?"

At this time, he asked him to help, but he couldn't say anything, for fear that those strange things would be poisonous. Yan Ning said without looking back, "Okay, let's go!" Guichen remained motionless, and it wasn't until Yan Ning walked out of the door that he swallowed his saliva and turned around to follow.

Guichen followed Yan Ning all the way out of the door, Xu is only the two of them were enlightened, he was in a good mood, and he was actually beating the beat with a fan of wind and snow while walking. Yan Ning walked in front, the two of them walked more than a hundred steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Guichen in a daze, Guichen was puzzled, and asked strangely: "What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Yan Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone suddenly said coldly: "Your rhythm ......"

"What's wrong?" Guichen asked, "Did I do something wrong?" Yan Ning pondered: "Seeing that his steps echo the beat of the fan, and the gap between the rhythms is adjusted with one breath and one breath, could this kid suddenly be blessed by God?" Yan Ning shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go!" Guichen saw that his eyes were cold, but he didn't know why, so he had to smile and follow with a wave of his sleeves.

The three of them walked for a while, and finally came to the square in front of the temple, it was early in the morning, the golden crow was hanging high, the fog in the mountain was gradually lost, and things were already distinct, but the square was full of smoke, and it was a little blurry, and Guichen walked around the corner, and finally saw the square.

The crowds on the square are restless, and there are several stations in columns, arranged neatly and neatly, and they look around, but they are not all monks, but there are monks and laymen. Guichen saw that everyone was holding incense threads in their hands, worshipping sincerely, and there was porridge and food on the side, thinking that it was for everyone to eat.

No wonder it looked smoky in the distance, but it turned out to be caused by people holding incense and worshipping the Buddha. Guichen smelled the smoke and felt uncomfortable for a while, but at this moment, it was inconvenient to cover up, so he had to cover his mouth and nose and approach quietly.

As soon as the three of them approached, a little novice had already stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, hello to the three donors!" The three of them saw that this little novice was very young, his body had not yet grown, and he was a head shorter than ordinary people, but his face was full of smiles, and he looked naïve and cute, and immediately replied: "Hello little master!"

The little novice saluted and said, "Today's birthday of the Buddha, the three donors need to enter the door to worship the Buddha, otherwise I am afraid that it will be disrespectful to my Buddha." ”

Xue Qingbi smiled and nodded: "Little Master's words are reasonable, we are all people who respect Buddha, how can we not enter the incense?"

The little novice seemed to be a little taboo about his height, and hummed in his mouth: "The donor should take the incense!" Yan Ning thought that he was losing his temper again, so he immediately grabbed his hand, pulled him forward, and whispered: "The people who are here at this moment are all masters who have been practicing for many years, don't make trouble for us!"

Guichen's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said in a muffled voice: "But this fragrant sandalwood fragrance makes me very uncomfortable!" Yan Ning looked left and right, and persuaded him: "You should bear with it first." As he spoke, he took out a ball of cotton from his sleeve and quietly gave it to him, and said in his mouth: "You stuff cotton into your nose to relieve boredom, just watch the excitement obediently!"

The surroundings were silent, Guichen observed the surroundings while burning incense, only to see that after everyone finished worshipping the Buddha, they all stood with the Buddha in front of them, waiting quietly, as if they were really waiting for the Buddha to come.

After working for a while, I saw a group of monks walking out of the main hall, and the first one was quite old, with a withered face, and obviously the leader of this place. Sure enough, he walked outside the main hall, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "Amitabha! Today's Longhua event, you can come, the temple is full of splendor, the old man is Ci, and he is the host of Yuquan Temple, and he is naturally deeply honored." ”

He paused, saw that everyone was proclaiming the Buddha's name, bowed his head and saluted, and said: "This temple has been nearly 700 years since the ancestor of Shenxiu, and it has been nearly 700 years. ”

Regardless of the monks and laymen present, they all nodded their heads when they heard the words, thinking that what Faci said was true, and there would be many masters in the temple. Guichen saw that Fa Ci's face suddenly darkened, and said: "It's a pity that twenty years ago, there was an evil obstacle in this temple! Alas, it is also strange that the old man was useless and failed to stop him in time, which led to today's situation. ”

One person below stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Senior Brother Faci, we are all people in Buddhism, and we should support each other, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Guichen was on the outermost side, looking at the monks at this moment, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Although there are many people in this square, but if you look closely, it is divided into five piles, but what is the reason?" Yan Ning said in a low voice: "Although this Yuquan Temple is the ancestral court of Buddhism, it is divided into five branches, namely teaching, law, secret, Zen, and pure five sects. One flower blooms five leaves, and the fruit is natural. "These five leaves are the five sects of teaching, law, tantra, Zen, and purity. There are five sects present today, and there are five columns. ”

"Senior brothers!" Fa Ci said solemnly: "Please come here today, one is Longhua Hui, and the other is my junior brother Daoyan Monk. The person who spoke just now said: "Senior Brother Faci, we have all heard about Senior Brother Daoyan, but we don't know it, and please tell us the cause and effect of this matter!"

Faci sighed and said: "When the senior brother of Daoyan was chased and fled here, the master saw that he was pitiful, so he took him in, and later he recovered from his injuries, saying that he was disheartened, so he was no longer born, and stayed in the temple to practice, the master saw that he was dedicated to the Buddha, and the wisdom was excellent, so he accepted him as a disciple, not only gave him the name Daoyan, but also taught him the ability, that is, the "Yijin Sutra" handed down by the ancestor of Shenxiu was also passed on to him. ”

A monk beside Fa Ci suddenly asked: "Senior Brother Fa Ci, how did Shenxiu Patriarch's "Yi Jin Sutra" also pass on to him?" Fa Ci turned around and saluted, and then sighed: "Uncle Zhiran, I won't tell you, Dao Yan's junior brother has a very high level of martial arts understanding, and after the master taught him skills, he saw that he had a deep Buddha nature, so he asked him to study this "Yi Jin Sutra". ”

Ran sighed and said: "I never thought that he had such a fate, the ancient book of the temple's "Yijin Sutra" has been lost for decades, until a few years ago my uncle reminded us, I waited for the scriptures to find in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but the content of the scriptures is profound and difficult, so I and so on to study with half the effort, the progress is very slow, the old man many times want to borrow the scriptures of your temple to see, but do not want to have been lost. ”

It turns out that Buddhism is divided into two sects, south and north, and there are two volumes of "Yijin Sutra", one ancient book is in the depths of Shaolin Temple, and one volume of translation is recorded by Shenxiu Zen Master with his own practice for many years. The ancient scriptures are obscure and difficult to cultivate, and there are almost no people who use the Shaolin Zhonghui "Yijin Sutra"; the translation scrolls are shallow and many, and they also have the cultivation experience of their predecessors, so those who practice the translation of the scrolls often start with a flat horse and enter the country quickly, and it is not until the second half of the volume that the progress is slow.

"In this way, it's also a fate!" Guichen asked in a low voice, "Why was Dao Yan spurned by the Buddhism?" Yan Ning sneered and snorted, "It's not for the sake of appeasement!"

I only heard Fa Ci say: "Hey, this "Yijin Sutra" has also been read by the old man, but it is not a material for practice, so he no longer asks for extravagance. Senior Brother Daoyan studied this scripture thoroughly, and at that time, no one in the temple was his opponent. Who would have thought that more than ten years ago, his ambition suddenly skyrocketed, and he was born, and then I found out after several visits that he had an old relationship with King Yan, and he actually wanted to support King Yan wholeheartedly, so that he could become a great treasure, at that time his martial arts had been completed, and Lao Wei was no longer able to stop him. ”

The Vinaya suddenly walked out and asked in a cold voice: "Senior brother, since it has been more than ten years, why did you only inform us at this moment?" Fa Ci sighed: "Senior Brother Fa Yan, I really don't hide it, Lao Wei is an outsider, if it weren't for the fact that he has threatened the people of the world at this moment, Lao Ke really doesn't want to pay attention to him." ”

This person is the head of the Vinaya Sect, and judging by his old and kind face, he should be a person who is dedicated to the public. I only listened to the Fa Yan and asked: "The matter of Jingjing is a secular thing, what can we do?" Faci showed compassion on his face, shook his head and said: "Emperor Jianwen treats the people with good governance, and he is benevolent and humble, the people originally lived a peaceful life under his governance, but unfortunately the senior brother of Daoyan was bent on persuading King Yan to rebel, King Yan was born in the army, ruthless, in just a few years, he actually fought against the world, and now it is the last moment of the intersection of the two armies, Lao Qu wants to ask you to go together to stop the junior brother, help Emperor Jianwen, and save the world in danger." ”

Before everyone could speak, suddenly a Buddha call came from afar: "Amitabha!" Everyone looked back, and one person had a ring scar on his head, and he was walking slowly, seeing him smiling and smiling, and nodding to everyone.

"Sick Tiger Monk?" Guichen asked with a frown. Yan Ning nodded when he heard this, Guichen's eyes sharpened, and his steps moved slightly, but Yan Ning grabbed his wrist and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, this person has a vicious eye, and today's situation is set up for him, let's wait and see what happens." Gui Chen's face was full of blood and blood, obviously he didn't care about Yan Ning's words, he turned his head to look, only to see that Dao Yan had already walked to the front of the hall, and smiled at Fa Ci: "Senior brother, don't come to harm?" Fa Ci's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Dao Yan, you are here!" Dao Yan bowed and said: "Uncle Ran, senior brothers, friends from the rivers and lakes, the poor monk is polite, and the poor monk has a word to ask you to listen to." Fa Ci showed a slightly worried look on his face, but he said angrily: "Senior brother, do you know that we are here to discuss against you?" Dao Yan nodded and said: "Senior brother's meaning, senior brother already knew when he received the letter, fellow disciples, Dao Yan would like to ask you: Since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, is the world okay?"

Guichen didn't understand what he meant, and turned his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Yan Ning and Xue Qingbi suddenly didn't say a word, lowered their heads and frowned.

When everyone heard this, they were also silent, and Fa Yan asked, "Senior Brother Dao Yan, what do you mean by this?" Dao Yan turned to face everyone and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I'll talk about it! In today's world, if you talk about the most powerful in the rivers and lakes, you will naturally be the first to recommend Nanfu and Beicheng. When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, although he was good to the world, he also harmed many innocent people, at that time, not only Nanfu, but also the officials of the world were suppressed greatly, but what he didn't expect was that once he died, no one in the world could control the people of Nanfu, and now the affairs of the government and the opposition are controlled by the people of Nanfu, and it is no longer Zhu Mingxia. ”

Fa Ci couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and said loudly: "It's just nonsense, let me ask you, it is the people of Nanfu who control the government, you and I are both outsiders, how can you enter the world and stir up the world?"

"Senior brother, don't be impatient!" Dao Yan asked: "Since you have come here to hold the Longhua Society, do you still remember that the Buddha also entered the WTO and crossed the people? ”

"What a struggle!" Everyone looked back, and a person suddenly walked out of the crowd, seeing that his face was handsome and mature, about thirty years old, dressed as a Confucian student, but a leather strap on his chest straddled diagonally from right to left, and a square box was exposed on the right shoulder, I don't know what was inside, looking at his slow steps, natural, it seemed to be a scholar.

The man walked up to him and said with a smile: "It is rumored that the sick tiger monk knows Buddhism well and is very eloquent. ”

Dao Yan looked him up and down for a while, and said, "If the old man is not blind, Your Excellency should be a person from Nanfu, right?" The man nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao Ke Chen Chen!" Dao Yan said in a sullen voice: "It turns out that the young master of Nanfu is here!" Chen Chen didn't seem to like others calling him the young master of Nanfu, but he was scheming and never exposed, so he frowned and smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

It turned out that the two of them were the world's top schemers, although they had fought many times in the past, but they were not masked, and they met for the first time today, as if they were unintentional, but they looked at each other, and their eyes intersected like thunder.

"Your Excellency is not only the young master of Nanfu!" Dao Yan said with a sharp edge: "It's still the "right soldier" of the "Jie" organization!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, the "Jie" organization has always rarely appeared in the rivers and lakes, and now the "right soldier" has suddenly arrived, but I am afraid that there may not be good things.

Sure enough, Chen Chen suddenly burst out laughing, stopped for a while, and said: "It is worthy of being a "sick tiger monk", it is really a first-class difficulty, not bad! Xiao Ke is a "right soldier". ”

Dao Yan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the "Right Scholar" is good at observing the situation and can influence the world's major affairs; When I saw it today, I don't know what the "left teacher" is, but you, the "right teacher", are in vain. Chen Chen listened to his sarcastic words, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "What does Your Excellency mean by this?"

"I'm afraid that the name of the "Right Warrior" is only thanks to Ling Zun, right?" Dao Yan sneered, and said: "Ling Zun is a "Confucian Immortal", and all the skills of Zun Jia can be taught by him, if he is not the leader of the "Jie" organization, how can you still be safe and sound with what you do?" Dao Yan looked around, saw everyone with doubts on their faces, and immediately said: "Do you still remember Zhu Zi, the king of Changsha?"

"Who is this King of Changsha?" Guichen couldn't understand why Daoyan suddenly mentioned him, and couldn't help but ask Yan Ning, Yan Ning's expression darkened, and he shook his head to signal him not to ask again. The others were all talking, just talking in low voices. When Fa Ci heard this, he also said angrily: "We are talking about you today, why did you suddenly mention him?"

Dao Yan ignored him, but pointed at Chen Chen, and said: "Look at this young master of Nanfu, have you ever seen his appearance?" Fa Ci was impatient to entangle, and waved his sleeves and said: "How have we ever seen him? What do you want to say?" Dao Yan looked at him deeply, suddenly smiled mysteriously, turned his head to Chen Chen and said: "Zhu Zi, the king of Changsha, is ninety percent similar to our "right soldier" Chen Chen, which is simply carved out of a mold. Besides, the king of Changsha has always been gentle and elegant, intelligent and sensitive, and more importantly, he is extremely respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang dotes on his mother, so he loves him very much, but then he suddenly burned himself to death in the palace, do you know why?"

"That's enough!" Chen Chen suddenly burst out and asked, "This matter has long since passed over time, what are you mentioning him for?" Dao Yan laughed and said: "You didn't let me mention this matter, is it because I feel ashamed?" Chen Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly appeared, and he said coldly: "You said yes, anyway, you won't be able to leave this Yuquan Temple for a while!" Dao Yan snorted and said: "You know that the King of Changsha set himself on fire because of the crime of raping and killing the imperial concubine, but in fact, he was meeting the emperor at that time, and he had no time to do such a rebellious thing. He paused for a moment, and then said: "The person the palace maid saw at that time was very similar to the king of Changsha, and because of the panic, everyone was extremely panicked, so they admitted their mistakes." ”

When these words came out, the meaning was self-evident, and everyone looked at Chen Chen together, and they were all stunned for a while. Most of the people present are Buddhists, who have always been compassionate, but at this moment, seeing that Chen Chen is so unscrupulous and has such a despicable character, they all sneer at him.

"If you are interested, Lao Wei will tell you another secret!" Dao Yan paused, and then said, "Because our emperor was born in a turbulent era and lacked care when he was young, he loved other people's women very much, especially beautiful women, if you talk about such a stunning woman, the most famous one back then was the wife of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. The king of Wu back then, that is, the later emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, led the army to break the Han king Chen Youliang, and then took his wife. But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that in fact, his new wife had already given birth to a child, this new wife was extremely smart, and she was afraid that her son would be affected in the future, so she had already entrusted her young child to a master outside the world, and for this reason, descendants almost didn't know that she had such a son, this child was "Confucian Immortal" Chen Liang, so our young master of Nanfu was actually the descendant of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and although Zhu Zi, the king of Changsha, was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, he and the "Confucian Immortal" were brothers of the same mother, so the king of Changsha and the "right scholar" It's an uncle and nephew, and the similarity between the two faces can explain it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, it turned out that the two still had such a relationship, no wonder Chen Chen wanted to subvert the Ming Dynasty, but he wanted to restore his grandfather's country. Chen Chen didn't care about everyone's performance, and sneered: "This matter has always been secret, and the people who knew about it back then have been killed, how did you know about it?" Dao Yan announced the Buddha's name and replied: "Naturally, it was said by the person you framed." Chen Chen frowned, and shouted: "Don't sell Guanzi, who is it?" Dao Yan asked rhetorically: "Who can be the person who can fight against Nanfu in the world?" Chen Chen was shocked and muttered to himself: "Feng Linyuan?" Dao Yan nodded with a smile: "Yes! Back then, you framed the king of Changsha to mess with Zhu Yuanzhang's mind; and then framed Feng Linyuan and cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's back road; Later, you found that Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyi guard was in the way of your business, so you cut off Mao Xiang, Jiang Huan, cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's wings, until the end, you falsely accused Lan Yu and cut off the last pillar that supported the Ming Dynasty, in fact, you have already mastered the court at this moment, right?"

At this moment, the sunlight scattered down through the heavy smoke and sprinkled on the square, looking like an ordinary ray of skylight, and it was quite sacred. Chen Chen happened to be in the shadows, looking a little weird, only to see him take a step forward, revealing his figure, and snorted coldly: "Yes, the affairs of the court are already in our hands." Dao Yan smiled undiminishedly, and sighed: "Hahahaha! It's a pity, even if you have the advantage, but there is no general under your command who can fight well! This is also your own sin, and now it is irreparable." ”

Chen Chen didn't care, and said: "I don't have a general, you have no money and food, let's half a catty and eight taels, what are your feelings of pride?" Dao Yan shook his head and said: "Although the old man has no money and food, he is sure of victory!" Chen Chen thought for a while, and suddenly said: "You expect the Qilin Treasure?" Dao Yan looked at him fixedly, as if he was smiling, but he didn't answer. Chen Chen snorted: "Xiao Ke came here today in person, just for this matter, and he will never let you succeed." Dao Yan looked at Fa Ci and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, Senior brother, what else do you want me to say?" He paused, turned around and walked to the high platform, and said: "Senior brothers, Nanfu is the base camp of the "Jie" organization, and the "Confucian Immortals" are the leaders, they are the root cause of the chaos in the world. ”

"Poof!" Chen Chen suddenly burst out laughing and said with a smile: "Pingnan Mansion, who can win?"

"Amitabha!" A person came from not far away and smiled at everyone: "The little monk is willing to give it a try!"
