Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dragon's Light Shoots the Bull Fight (Part II)
In a mountain peak tens of thousands of kilometers away from Qingzhou City, there are several rows of temples standing against the cliff, the bottom does not see any wooden stick support, there is no hanging rope traction above, non-wings and can not pass, non-apes are not allowed to climb, so that people can not sigh, how the monks in this temple usually enter and exit.
The temple here is known as the Buddhist forbidden place among the five mysterious places by martial arts practitioners, and is also known as the last pure land - the Hanging Temple.
The Hanging Temple has been based here for thousands of years, the monks here are far away from the troubles of the world, meditate and practice, understand the Buddhist scriptures, so the birth of many functional and complete monks of great power, after death condensed into relics, in the Futu Pagoda by the monks to admire.
At this moment, a novice is seriously copying Buddhist scriptures, and a monk next to him is fierce and vicious, but looking at the crooked handwriting of the little novice, he is smiling beside him: "Stone, if you don't copy faster, if I go down the mountain tomorrow morning, you will stay in the temple to guard the temple." ”
The little novice named Shi said puzzledly: "Master, you said before that I was stupid and stupid, let me be grounded for three years, if I can't understand the Dharma for a day, then I won't be allowed to go out of this temple for a day, and I can't memorize all the Buddhist scriptures now, how can I go down the mountain? ”
When the monk heard what the stone said, he closed his eyes and paced and said, "When you understand the Dharma and form a relic, I don't know what year or month it will take." ”
When the stone heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Master, then I will burn myself with a fire, so that the relics will bear fruit faster?"
The monk smiled: "If, as you said, a fire can form a relic, then why am I still here to accompany you to copy the scriptures? Hurry up and finish copying the last few sentences, and tomorrow morning we will go down the mountain and rush to the side of Longguo." If you can't get there on time and can't get to that good fate, you will miss a big event. ”
"Yes, yes, I haven't been down in a long time. The stone didn't care what the master said, he quickly dipped the ink and wrote hard.
The monk suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the slight light in the distance, and said, "Becoming and living in the void, and living in the same place." ”
......
There is a temple in Mingyue State, located in the prosperous place of the national capital, adjacent to the royal family, the name is Fanyin Temple, where the incense is vigorous, and there are often high monks who can promote Buddhism, so Fanyin Temple is respected as a holy place among the people of Mingyue Kingdom.
At this moment, in the main hall of Fanyin Temple, many monks with ring scars on their heads chanted the Buddha's name, beating the wooden fish, and the sound was loud and loud, long and long.
In front of the main hall, there is a Buddha's golden body appearance, about hundreds of zhang high, carved lifelike. At this moment, next to the golden body of the Buddha, three monks wearing robes gathered together, looking at the sky in the distance and were silent.
After a while, one of the kind-eyed monks spoke: "The six bells of the temple rang just now, and for the first time in two hundred years, I heard the sound of the six bells, and my Buddha heart became clearer because of this. ”
A fat-headed monk next to him said: "Senior brother, our temple has said since ancient times that these six bells have been passed down from the time of the ancestors, and they will ring whenever a major event in the world happens. The most recent time was hundreds of years ago when the scholar had messed up the kingdoms of the world, and it has been silent ever since. It's just that it suddenly sounded tonight, I'm afraid that there will be changes in the world. The fat-headed and big-eared monk had a fierce face, holding a rosary in his left hand and a Zen staff in his right hand, looking at the abbot of Fanyin Temple at the moment.
At this time, another monk had a yellow and thin face, kept pinching the rosary, and when he heard what the fat-headed and big-eared monk said, he also agreed: "Abbot, a person in Buddhism, has the responsibility of killing demons and eliminating demons. ”
There are many monks in Fanyin Temple, from the abbot, there is a first seat, leading the monks to meditate and carry out the precepts; there is a head of the West Hall, also known as the head of the lecture class, which has the responsibility of educating the monks and preaching and teaching; there is a head of the back hall class, which is an example of virtue for the monks, and does not ask about secular affairs; there is a head of the hall master class, dealing with secular affairs, and purifying pilgrims.
These three people are the abbot of Fanyin Temple, the head of the precepts, and the head of the lecture class.
The abbot of Fanyin Temple watched the vision disappear, chanted a Buddha horn and said: "Amitabha, seeing the vision in this world, we have to guard against it, or the appearance of heaven and earth treasures, or the reincarnation of thousand-year-old saints, what is this, we still need to explore one or two." ”
The first precept voice was loud, and he said to the abbot: "Our Fanyin Temple succumbs to the Mingyue country, and every time we preach elsewhere, the world only knows the Hanging Temple and does not know my Fanyin Temple, as if the Hanging Temple is the real holy land of Buddhism." If you can take this opportunity to find out the vision, find the location of the hanging temple by the way, and get the Buddha's robe, so as to condense the immortal Dharma, then my Fanyin Temple can really gain a foothold in the world, and when we go to preach, no one dares to say anything. ”
"The first seat of the precepts is right. The head of the lecture class stopped turning the rosary, and it was also in response: "Everyone in the world knows that there are two holy places in Buddhist temples, one is the Hanging Temple, and the other is the Fanyin Temple, although we have more than 10,000 monks in the Fanyin Temple, but whether it is in the hearts of the people, or in the mouths of martial arts practitioners, the Hanging Temple is overpowering us. Although the Hanging Temple is difficult to find in a mysterious place, there are only two monks in this generation, and if our Fanyin Temple joins forces to debate the Dharma Dao, the Hanging Temple will definitely be unable to parry. Our top priority is to find the location of the Hanging Temple. ”
The abbot of Fanyin Temple still recited a Buddha name: "Ani Buddha, we and the Hanging Temple are both promoting Buddhism, so we worship the same Buddha and recite the same Heart Sutra, why do you have to compete with it? ”
"Senior brother, the Buddha's robe, but Monk Huaizhen snatched it from our temple back then, otherwise it would not be his turn to achieve the great success of Buddhism. This previous vision alarmed the six bells left by the Buddha, indicating that this must be related to our Buddhism, whether it is a reincarnation person, or my Buddhist holy relics, even if we don't go to find the location of the Hanging Temple, we must find out about this matter. ”
Seeing that the abbot was still hesitating, the first person in the lecture class stepped forward again and said, "The lotus pond has recently been close to Buddhism, so you can let him go on a trip instead of us." For Buddhist disciples, how to benefit sentient beings without entering the world. ”
Hearing the name of the lotus pond, the abbot of Fanyin Temple came out with a slight smile, and said to the head of the lecture class: "Your disciple, who is familiar with Buddhist scriptures and books, and can debate Buddhism with others without falling behind, is the most likely person in my Fanyin Temple." ”
The first time the lecture class saw the abbot praising his disciple, he also smiled: "The abbot must not praise falsely, the lotus pond is the royal family of the Mingyue Kingdom, and he has been familiar with Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, so this practice speed is also slightly faster than ordinary people. ”
Seeing that the head of the precept class respected his disciple, the first precept frowned, it seemed that the abbot attached great importance to the lotus pond, so wouldn't the precept academy have to stoop to the lecture hall in the future. So the first seat of the precepts stepped forward, held the Zen staff tightly and performed a Buddha salute and said: "Senior brother, this lotus pond is the royal family of the Mingyue Kingdom after all, if there is a mistake, this Mingyue Kingdom will not dare to come to the door to discuss the crime, but it is not good to spread it." It is better to send my disciple Fa Zhen, he was originally an orphan in the world, he has been in the Fanyin Temple for twenty years, if he wants to take over my mantle in charge of the precept academy in the future, then he should also travel to the world, it is better to take this opportunity to see what the cultivators in the world are. ”
The abbot of Fanyin Temple was also extremely embarrassed when he saw that both of them respected their disciples so much.
Since the establishment of the Fanyin Temple, this precept institute and the lecture hall are incompatible. The first of the previous precepts institutes believed that if they wanted to spread the Dharma in the world, they should bind the world with pure rules and precepts, and if they were at fault, they should be severely punished.
At this moment, all the monks in the main hall finished meditating and practicing, and came out one after another to bow to these three people, and the abbot of Fanyin Temple looked at the monks, thought for a while and said: "There are many monks in my Fanyin Temple, many of whom have been practicing in the temple for decades, and it is time for them to return to the world and understand sentient beings." Therefore, let Lianchi and Fazhen both go to the world to practice, choose the opportunity to promote Buddhism, as for whether they can find the Hanging Temple, it all depends on creation. The direction of the vision should be the territory of the Long Kingdom, and the two of you will arrange it and set off on the same day. ”
The first seat of the precepts and the head of the lecture class glanced at each other, and bowed to the abbot: "Amitabha!"
......
In Qingzhou City, the vision disappeared, and Qin Chuan began to slowly wake up.
Seeing Shopkeeper Wu sitting at the table, Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Wu, I have already handed over the money for this half month to Sister-in-law Niu, I'm afraid you're not here to ask for the money." ”
Shopkeeper Wu kept a straight face and was silent.
Lao Dao explained beside him: "You just recited the Taoist "Bodhicitta Sutra" and saw the Buddhist mantra, so you couldn't bear it and fainted, but fortunately, the shopkeeper Wu passed by and came to the rescue, so you woke up so early." ”
Hearing that it was Shopkeeper Wu who saved him, Qin Chuan saluted: "Thank you Shopkeeper Wu, don't worry, after my Xuanzi room expires, if I live again, I will never owe you room money." ”
When Shopkeeper Wu heard this, he also smiled slightly: "You have just merged the two exercises of Taoism and Buddhism, which is really rare. Both of these are exercises that practitioners in the world cannot ask for, so you should not reveal them to others easily, otherwise you will just set yourself on fire. ”
Qin Chuan was still in the dark at the moment, and he didn't know when he had these two exercises: "Shopkeeper Wu, I don't have Kongshan or Danhai, where did I get the two exercises." ”
Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Lao Dao, Lao Dao grinned, but shook his head.
Seeing that Lao Dao was reluctant to speak, Shopkeeper Wu knew that Lao Dao must have suffered words, so he said to Qin Chuan: "I have been walking in the martial arts rivers and lakes for many years, although I am not as good as the characters who have been famous for a long time, but I am sure that there are two exercises in your body, and there are two sword intents that belong to others sealed in your body, but there is no threat to you. It's just that you must not say anything to people, otherwise no one in this world can tolerate you, you have a stubborn disease, there is no empty mountain and Danhai, and now relying on Taoism and Buddhism, condense the prototype of empty mountain and Danhai, but if you want to really condense the empty mountain and Danhai, don't worry too much, but if there is something to help, it must not be difficult. ”
When Qin Chuan heard that he had condensed the empty mountain, Danhai, he almost jumped off the bed, and sat cross-legged like a martial arts practitioner, breathing slowly and breathing, quietly perceiving the changes in heaven and earth, but after a while, he didn't notice any difference.
Lao Dao yawned and said: "Rabbit cub, what are you anxious about, you are just the prototype, not a complete empty mountain, Danhai, besides, even if you condense the real empty mountain and Danhai, you are just an ordinary martial arts cultivator, and you have not reached the realm of synaesthesia, how can you perceive the changes in the aura of heaven and earth." Shopkeeper Wu said, you still lack one thing before you can condense a complete empty mountain and Danhai. ”
Qin Chuan looked at Shopkeeper Wu anxiously and asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, what else is missing in my body?"
Shopkeeper Wu got up from the table, closed the doors and windows, and casually flicked out a spiritual aura, enveloping the three of them.
Lao Dao couldn't help but say in admiration: "With the transformation of materialism, it seems that your realm is not low." It's just that I'm almost a waste now, otherwise I can still learn a thing or two. ”
When the shopkeeper Wu heard this, he didn't admit it and said: "It's still a little short of you at that time." ”
When Lao Dao heard this, he seemed to remember the old things, sighed, and stopped speaking.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wu said to Qin Chuan: "It's not that you are missing something in your body, but that you need to use something from the outside world." ”
Qin Chuan asked, "What is that, and how much money does it cost?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu thought that what Lao Dao said before said that Qin Chuan grew up in the wilderness Taoist temple since he was a child, and he knew very little about martial arts rivers and lakes, but he attached great importance to worldly things, and in his heart, everything in the world could be bought for money, just how much money was paid.
It's just that Qin Chuan is so simple, how can he gain a foothold in the fierce martial arts rivers and lakes?
"Forget it, this is something that Lao Dao is worried about, why should I care about this?" Shopkeeper Wu thought about it, and still couldn't bear to say to Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan, you remember, the martial arts rivers and lakes are sinister, not everything can be bought for money, such as heavenly treasures, such as elixirs, such as peerless exercises, these things are the enemies of cultivators in the world, whether your nature is evil or good, there will be people who want to kill you." ”
Qin Chuan nodded thoughtfully, as if he was reminiscing about the meaning of Shopkeeper Wu's words.
The strong man of the Gathering Spirit in Guanshankou killed so many people for the sake of Qiankun Dan; in the tavern in the wilderness, Zhou Youliang shot and injured President Yu for the sake of fame; and Li Canghai, who had just passed the lane, left two sword intents in his body in order to repay his kindness. In this martial arts world, there are people who kill people and oversell goods, but there are also people with a true temperament like Lao Dao.
Qin Chuan does not know, but Qin Chuan has already decided to take the road of martial arts rivers and lakes.
Listening to what the two of them said before, it seemed that the old way was also in the limelight for a while, but now he didn't dare to be known and fell to this point.
Qin Chuan bowed solemnly to Shopkeeper Wu, his face was straight, and his eyes were resolute and asked, "Ask Shopkeeper Wu to show me the way and help me condense the things of the empty mountains and Danhai, where can I find them?"
Shopkeeper Wu stepped forward and said to Lao Dao and Qin Chuan: "In the ghost market of Qingzhou City, there is an old woman, and there is a thing in the stall, called the Heavenly Pill. ”
Since Shopkeeper Wu knew about this thing, but he didn't buy it back, Qin Chuan knew that it was definitely not simple......
