Chapter Eighty-Eight: Three Thousand Annoyances
Lou Kong, under the protection of Yu Xiu, Lou Fan, Wen Xin, and Wen Xiu, rushed to Ashoka Temple and asked Master Zhide to save him. Along the way, Lou Kong's injuries became more and more serious, and Wen Xin's medical skills were obviously becoming more and more difficult to suppress this strange palm power. However, everyone was helpless, so they had to speed up their pace and speed up their journey.
If you ask someone else to heal, as long as Yu Xiushi is too out of the horse, you can let that person come to treat Lou Kong. However, the person invited is the master of virtue, and no one in today's martial arts can be invited. Even twenty years ago, when Zhou Xun invited Master Zhide to join forces, he personally visited the Asoka Temple.
In addition, Lou Kong was seriously injured, and everyone was not allowed to use their leg skills, and they had to travel hundreds of miles a day, so they had to measure the ground step by step. Liupan Mountain to Asoka Temple. Fortunately, the two places were four or five hundred miles apart, and on the ninth day, everyone finally arrived at the mountain gate.
At this time, it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining. In the pavilion next to the mountain gate for passers-by to rest, five monks are seated. When Lou Fan saw it, it turned out that there were no five great monks who practiced righteousness. Among these five, Shanwu has the highest martial arts. When Lou Fan and the five of them were three miles away, he heard a voice. He knew that after seven days of waiting, the Loukong benefactor had finally arrived.
It turned out that after Liupan Mountain, the five disciples of Master Zhide rushed back to Asoka Temple to report the situation to Master Zhide. At this time, everyone still only knew that Lou Kong was injured, and as for the extent of the injury, it was not clear what the injury was. Zhide expected that Lou Kong would definitely visit my Asoka Temple in the near future, so he ordered five disciples to go to the mountain gate to greet him. In addition to greeting, Zhide also has the meaning of punishing the five disciples.
After the two sides looked at each other, they greeted each other. The four great monks carried Lou Kong directly to the temple gate. Outside the temple gate, there are also two monks, an old man and a young monk, to greet them. The little monk Lou Fan recognized that it was none other than You Metrochong, Hong Kui's only son. The old monk is Master Xuankong, the uncle of Master Zhide. Seeing that the master and uncle had arrived, Shanwu hurriedly gave a salute. said to everyone: "Everyone, this is our senior uncle and ancestor, and his law name is Xuankong. ”
When Yu Xiu saw this old monk, his face was full of wrinkles, and when he looked at his eyes, although he was also radiant, he was not the kind of eyes of a martial arts master. Yu Xiu knew that this master must have become famous for his profound Buddhism.
Xuankong clasped his hands together, and then said, "Amitabha, please!" With that, I led everyone into the Ashoka Temple.
Unlike other temples, Ashoka Temple is dedicated to Ashoka in addition to the World-Honored Nyorai. Emperor Ashoka was originally the monarch of the Mauryan Empire in India, and finally converted to Buddhism under the influence of Buddhism. According to legend, this person appeared hundreds of years after Shakyamuni's death. At that time, although the concept of Buddhism was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it did not dominate among the religions of ancient India, and its scope of spread was always limited to ancient India.
After Ashoka converted to Buddhism, Buddhism quickly became dominant and gradually became overwhelming. At the same time, Dharma Masters continued to leave ancient India and began a journey of Buddhism influencing the world.
For Buddhism, Ashoka is like Mencius of Confucianism, Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, and Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom are key figures in inheriting the past and opening up the future. However, the historical Ashoka Temple has been renamed Famen Temple at this time. This book deliberately has an ancient name for the needs of the plot.
The four of Xingyi Kongben carried Lou Kong to the clean room of the Buddha Hall, and Master Zhide took the two masters of Zhixing and Zhiren to wait there for a long time. The three senior monks checked Lou Kong's injuries one by one, and their faces sank like water, and they did not speak.
After a long time, Zhide said: "Two junior brothers, you have all seen the injuries, what are your opinions?" Zhixuan said: "Senior brother in charge, the injuries of Lou Kong's donors are extremely strange, implying two kinds of strength: fire and ice. It is by no means curable by ordinary medical techniques. Seeing that the senior brother Zhide was silent, Zhixing looked at Zhiren next to him, and Zhiren also turned his head and nodded slightly at Zhixing.
The Supreme Sex knows the meaning of the Most Benevolent, and is about to say it. Zhide, who only listened: "Only my Asoka Temple's "Dharma Sutra" can be cured. It's just that the two juniors think that Lou Kong is a hero of the rivers and lakes and has a lot of lives on his hands. If this person takes refuge in my Buddha, I am afraid that he will tarnish the reputation of Buddhism. ”
When Zhiren Zhizhi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Exactly." Think of me Asoka Temple, for hundreds of years has been a leader in the right path of Buddhism. Among them, please consider the stakes again. Zhide said: "The two junior brothers are also reasonable. It's just that today's martial arts situation has changed, and Baiyun Villa and Tianjie Sect have openly colluded, and the day before yesterday they captured Songhe Hall and captured the "Dharma Wan Tibetan Classics". Zhang Zhijiang reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and with just one palm, Lou Kong was injured so badly. Two junior brothers, who do you think can defeat Zhang Zhijiang in today's martial arts?"
Zhixing said: "If you want to say that you can defeat Zhang Zhijiang, I think only Senior Brother and Zhou Xun are the only ones." Zhide said: "Yesterday, I thought I could compete with Zhang Zhijiang. But I looked at Lou Kong's injury, and I was not sure that I would win against him. Even if he joined forces with his junior brother Zhou Xun, he could only barely draw. If the two of us die together with Zhang Zhijiang because of this, although it is also for the sake of the rivers and lakes, who will preside over the justice of the rivers and lakes?"
Zhiren said: "Could it be that Senior Brother plans to let Lou Kong maintain the safety of the martial arts in the future?" Zhide said: "Exactly." Only when the rivers and lakes are stable, can my Asoka Temple be stable, and the monks in the temple can participate in Zen and worship the Buddha with peace of mind. ”
Zhiren and Nature: "Amitabha, senior brother, there is no point in the two of us. The "Dharma Sutra" is kept by my uncle, and we still have to win his support. Zhide smiled: "Two junior brothers, I'm too worried. Uncle Shi has long had the heart to pass on the "Dharma Sutra" again. ”
As soon as the words fell, Master Xuankong said outside the door: "Amitabha, exactly!"
The next day, Master Xuankong accepted Lou Kong as a disciple, and his Dharma name was empty, and he was the most virtuous and benevolent disciple. Although Master Xuankong does not know martial arts, he is extremely proficient in Buddhism and Tianzhu Medicine. Under the joint force of him and Wen Xin, Zhang Zhijiang's palm power was finally completely suppressed. And that took three months.
Under the care of Master Xuankong, it took three more hours for Zhikong to get out of bed and walk. On this day, Master Xuankong asked Zhikong: "Apprentice, can you have some insights from Jianghu people to Buddhist disciples?" Zhikong said: "Master, the disciple used to be a Jianghu person, and now he is a Jianghu person in Buddhism. Xuankong said: "Why?"
Zhikong said: "My Buddhist disciple was originally to cross people to save people. If there is turmoil today, the disciple is willing to use the sword in his hand to eliminate the most vicious and evil people in the world. Let all nations be slaughtered less!"
Xuankong said: "What a fierce and evil person!"
