Chapter 46: Martial Arts (II)
No, what's going on? This is the Shaolin Temple, which is also home to a martial arts school. The temple is full of hidden fu and countless masters. Whatever strange things may happen, it's not surprising. At present, Tian Lin calmly turned his head and watched intently. I saw in front of me a short, thin-faced, dark-skinned, kind-hearted old man with a good heart, dressed only in an ordinary gray dress and wearing a string of wooden rosaries on his right wrist. He didn't look strange.
In Buddhist places, one should naturally do Buddhist rituals. Tian Lin clasped her hands and leaned towards the old monk slightly. He, "Destiny leads to death, destiny leads to the end, and fate really leads to delusion." Who knows where to go? Life is like that, floating life is like that. ”
The old monk smiled, "Amitabha, the benefactor fought well." But ask for advice. Donor, what is the Buddha in your heart?"
This question is too big for Tian Lin to answer. Suddenly, he had a sudden inspiration, but to quote the words of his predecessors, replied: "Emptiness will last forever, once the wind and the moon fall." ”
The old monk was a little shocked, and then he smiled and asked, "Why doesn't Buddhism exist?"
Lin Zhi knew that the words he quoted earlier had already been known by the other party. He also whispered to himself, "Just because you can't do it, you can't do it now." If you were to go, there would be no Buddha. ”
The old monk nodded slightly, stroked his palm and asked, "Where will the dead monk move?"
Without thinking, he blurted out: "Yue Feng is tall and green, and the moonlight shines brightly on Shu Jiangming. ”
The old monk had an expression of appreciation and encouragement: "Please sing something at the door." ”
Tian Lin immediately said, "Outside the vacuum of the stone ox's long roar, when the moon receded into the mountain, the Trojan horse hissed. ”
The old monk picked up his beard, raised his voice and asked, "How did Ancestor Xi come here?"
When Tian Lin raised his eyebrows, a clear voice said, "The white apes brought their children to Qingzhang, and the bees and butterflies brought flowers and green stamens. ”
The old monk laughed heartily, "Benefactor, you have a really good memory. It's also a good story that the court case that was outside the Sanzu Temple at that time is now in the ancestral court. ”
Tian Lin also smiled, "Come back, Hu Bu Return? Zen thought is lively and informal. Zen is everywhere in the world and in rivers. The Shaolin Temple of the Three Ancestors Temple and the Pillar Mountain of the Shaolin Mountain are always in the corner of the same wide world. This can be done here or there, there is no difference. ”
The old monk nodded again and again, convinced, and said, "Not bad, not bad." Haha, I really look like an old woman. ”
Lin He's answer just now is a famous public case of Zen Buddhism. When Bodhidharma came to China in the West, he passed on the mantle of Zen Buddhism to his second ancestor, Master Huike. Huike passed the mantle to Sanzusengan. The three ancestors were based in the Xizhu Valley Temple in Anhui Province and were preaching the Flood Law. After his death, the descendants renamed the Valley Temple as the Three Ancestors Temple as a memorial. In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the Zen master Hui Chong answered the monk's questions at the Sanzu Temple. The monk asked the Zen master if he had not come to China and if he had Buddhism, and as a result, a public case was raised. Yes, every word in the book is wonderful and inspiring.
The old monk walked slowly, approached Tian Lin, and smiled again: "Donor, what do you think of these 500 Arhats?" raised your hand and pointed to the wall.
In fact, the Thousand Buddha Hall is just an ordinary name, and its official name should be the Pilu Pavilion, where the Buddha is enshrined. The north wall and the east and west walls behind the shrine are painted with murals of 500 Arhats to Pilu. For this reason, it is often referred to as the Thousand Buddha Hall. The composition of the mural is rigorous, magnificent, the figures are vivid, and the appearance is different from that of 500 Arhats. They can be called rare masterpieces. It is said that this was written by the Tang Dynasty painting saint Wu Daozi.
Tian Lin didn't look up at 500 Arhats. Instead, he looked down at the ground and slowly: "In my heart, there are no arhats now." “
Thousands of halls have been exquisitely constructed, and the ground is paved with countless extremely hard green stones. However, on such a solid slab, there are a total of 48 pits. Legend has it that Shaolin monks practiced boxing and martial arts in the temple. As time went on, they stamped and stomped like water over a stone, pressing the slabs out of the pit. In other words, these pits represent Shaolin martial arts to a certain extent.
The old monk looked at Tian Lin's eyes and immediately understood. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "I live in the name of martial arts, and although it is widely spread all over the world, I haven't actually learned enough. The ancestor of Bodhidharma was just teaching his disciples some ways to enhance their health. The body is healthy and the mind is easy to understand. However, the Hourao disciples were often so addicted to martial arts that they gave up their original jobs and went to the end. They are not in line with the purpose of the ancestors to teach martial arts. This is regrettable and regrettable. ”
Tian Lin said in a deep voice: "Master is a Buddhist, so naturally he has to see through life and death, get rid of troubles, and prove that freedom is the first priority. But a layman like me ......," he laughed, "let's leave the future alone, i.e., what will happen today?" However, this is also the phrase of the Zen master Hui Chong in his case.
The old monk nodded and asked gently, "But what is the benefactor's request?"
Tian Lin raised her hands and proudly: "I only want four words - no burden under the burden"
The old monk frowned and sighed, "The benefactor has a good root. Why are you so persistent? Invincible or Martial Arts Supreme, but this is a pipe dream, why do you want to sacrifice your life and die? It should be noted that reputation and wealth are always the most harmful. ”
Tian Lin smiled again and shook his head. "The host misunderstood. I pursue invincibility, not for fame and fortune. Just because I know that the mountain standing in front of me is very high, very high. So far, I've only wandered around the foot of the mountain. However, I believe that one day I will reach the highest point of this mountain and see the most beautiful scenery in the world. I'm willing to work hard at all costs to enjoy the scenery and that's it. ”
The old monk sighed again, "Why? The strong have their own strong hands, and one mountain is higher than another." And what even if you enjoy the scenery, you won't take it with you. ”
Tian Lin's eyebrows showed unprecedented seriousness, and he said slowly: "Meteors are perishable, but even if tens of billions of candles are lit at the same time, the brightness of the flash will never be able to compare. Therefore, I believe that the flash is also eternal! As long as I have seen the scenery, it will remain in my heart. Unless I disappear, the landscape will always be there. ”
As soon as the words fell, the martial artist's temperament suddenly changed. Just now, the tranquility gained from talking about Zen Buddhism and Buddhism was suddenly completely swept away. Tian Lin is like an unsheathed sword, like a pearl turned to ashes. It's hard to change it because it's cold and sharp.
The old monk sighed, "Good is good." The ambition of the donor, the steadfastness of the heart, and the Qingming Festival of the Lingtai are all rare in my life. What is even more rare is that Huigen is deep and not bound by fame and fortune. He was pure in heart. If the benefactor is willing to convert to Buddhism, it will be seen as a generation of virtue over time. If the donor doesn't dislike ......"
Tian Lin shook his head and interrupted the old monk's words. "If I change my mind, I'm not myself. The person the owner had his eye on no longer existed. Of course, there is no need for a Taoist priest in Hongchen, and there is no need for a fake and mulberry in Buddhism, what's the benefit? More importantly, ......" He thought for a while, and finally said flatly: "I have never cultivated good grades in my life. I just want to kill people and set fires. Suddenly, the golden rope was loosened, and the jade lock was ripped off here. Bah. The solution is to fill the void with white jade and turn the earth into gold. ”
The old monk sighed, "I understand, I understand." Mercy, I already understand. Benefactor, please. Shaking his head slightly, he turned and walked out of the temple without any hesitation. Tian Lin didn't say anything to stay, but just watched the old monk leave. The two men didn't ask each other's names from beginning to end.
After a long conversation, although it was only a verbal answer, they were far from-for-tat, and could even have some things in common, Tian Lin felt that the answer just now was even more tiring than a war.
Since the departure of the old monk, the warriors were not in the mood to visit the historical sites of the temple. For now, he turned around and walked out of the temple and returned to the guest room meditation room next to the ancient path.
Soon after, the novice brought in vegetarian food and invited all the guests to dinner. More than half a year after the meal, there was a knock on the door. When he got up and opened the door, it turned out that Jueyue and Sang He saluted Lin Xing and said, "Master Chen, the abbot is affectionate." ”
Tian Lin agreed, tidied up her clothes, and went out with Monk Jueyue. The two walked through several halls and corridors, one after the other, to the outside of the hall. However, he saw that two other Shaolin temple monks were also leading Lin Zhennan and Huashan leader Yue Buqun. The crowd walked into the hall and entered the side hall through the side door. There are several futons in the temple, and an old monk sits on one of them. Master Fang Sheng stood aside. In this way, people don't need to be introduced and know right away. At present, this mediocre-looking old monk is the abbot of Shaolin and Master Zheng Fang.
Monk Jueyue and several other leading monks held hands, saluted Abbot Zheng Fang and Master Fang Sheng, and then bowed and stepped down. Several guests immediately stepped forward to meet the Shaolin abbot. Abbot Zheng Fang smiled slightly, raised his arm, and said gently: "Mr. Yue, I heard that this gentleman's sword is solemn. Its fame spread widely in the rivers and lakes. I've always appreciated it. I'm so lucky to see you today. Lin Darthead, long admired the name. Since its establishment, Fu Wei Escort Agency has done many good things to help the poor and needy. I've heard it all the time. After a pause, he raised his head and smiled again: "Master Chen, haha, we meet again." ”
In today's martial arts, when it comes to martial arts, it is natural to be regarded as the Sun and Moon Emperor Dongfang is undefeated. However, if a person wants him to be highly respected and respected by all Rao, he must be an abbot. Lin Zhennan was naturally afraid of encountering Taishan and the Big Dipper in the martial arts. He didn't dare to do anything. On the other hand, Yue Buqun was more free, he smiled: "It's a pity to hear a cheap name. Yue was scared. By the way, has the abbot seen Brother Chen before?"
Tian Lin said lightly: "This is the first time I have come to Shaolin Temple in my life. Where did I have the opportunity to meet the abbot before? But just now I had nothing to do and walked around the temple. I just met the abbot and talked to each other. ”
