Chapter 45: Immortal Island
Shifang rushed to the dock, there was still more than an hour before departure, there should be no problem, looking at the magic weapon in his hand, Shifang's nose suddenly sour, some regret his unreasonable trouble, Master, really good intentions, but the thing was done by himself, there is nothing to regret, put the Jialan bowl into his own prayer beads, Shifang took a deep breath, it turned out, the master also approved of going out to practice.
Thinking back to the "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record" that I had read in Danxia Mountain, there was a public case of "mother-in-law burning the nunnery": in the past, a mother and daughter had a long-term support for a very hard-working Zen practitioner, and one day, when the mother sent her daughter to deliver food to the Zen master, she told her daughter: "When you send the meal today, hug the Zen master well and tightly." The daughter did as she was told, but the Zen master did not respond. The next day, the mother delivered the food herself and asked, "Master! My daughter hugged you yesterday, how did she feel? The Zen man's reply was, "The dead wood leans against the cold cliff." The old lady took a broom and said to the Zen master, "I didn't think of making offerings to the wrong person, so please get out!" So he drove the Zen master away and set fire to the hermitage.
Shifang regarded this as an interesting thing, but the annotation given by the Sixth Master Ancestor was that the Zen master had practiced for so long, and he was not as far as an old woman could see, and the authorities were really blind. For this reason, Shifang also specially asked the master, why can't he understand?
The master smiled and said, "You mean why did the mother-in-law drive away this young girl who gave her hugs and was not moved?" Because he has not yet attained wisdom, he has set his kung fu, but he has not yet been liberated, if he is really a fully enlightened Zen master, how can he become a dead wood when he sees that a young girl is a young girl? How can a Zen practitioner become a cold cliff if he is a human being? ”
Looking at Shifang's still confused faces, Jiu Zhan continued: "These are the three realms of meditation in the world. In the process of diligent cultivation, the mountains are not mountains, and the water is not water; After enlightenment, the mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water. The Zen man regarded the girl's embrace as a dead wood leaning on a cold cliff, which is neither the state of mind of ordinary people, nor the state of mind of an enlightened person, but the level of diligent work, the mother-in-law chasing monks and burning the nunnery, which seems to be abrupt, is actually the best way for the Zen family to force people on the road, and it is also the epiphany method. ”
The ten directions walked through the hazy moonlight, but their thoughts were very chaotic: although this is a secular practice, and it does not conform to the so-called realm of Buddhist cultivators now, but there is also a certain truth, but the master has become an ordinary person, and Bai Xiaoru is a young beauty in his eyes, and doing it by himself may be a kind of fulfillment for the master.
The wharf was far away, and three not small sea ships had already stopped there, and Shi Fang shook his head vigorously, as if this would be able to shake off his sorrows, no matter what, Master sent someone to burn down my hut, didn't he just hope that I could go out to practice? And I just decided to go to the island to have a look, and besides, I didn't get the news, and since I got the news, I must go there. Sea Soul Grass, I don't know if I can get it, even if the hope is slim again, if I don't give it a try, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
The afterglow of the dock can only illuminate the faint black boat shadow, the night in the deep winter is particularly cold, but for their own physique, there is a feeling of cool night like water, through those black boat shadows, it is a misty sea, and tonight, I will be completely integrated into this misty sea, the so-called fairy island, what kind of existence is it?
Suddenly, several familiar figures appeared in front of him, Shifang was a little surprised, and then smiled and stepped forward.
"Brother Gao, why are you here, have you waited for a long time?"
"Nope." Gao Feng said with a smile, "We are also just here, although you have only been here for more than three months, but the brothers are very grateful to you, originally everyone was going to come, but tomorrow there are many brothers who still have to carry the goods, so I persuaded them." You don't have to blame me. ”
"He dares, I've been waiting here for two hours, damn it, I'm about to freeze into popsicles." Dong Hai complained.
Shi Fang stopped talking, his eyes were suddenly a little sour, he stepped forward and gave Dong Hai a bear hug.
"What for! Do! Lao Tzu hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet! Dong Hai struggled for a while, but he couldn't move, but finally said in Shifang's ear: "Okay, okay, be careful there, the brothers are waiting for you to come back and drink." ”
"I know, you too, wait for me to say hello to everyone, and I wish Brother Dong to redeem Miss Cui'er as soon as possible, and then, hehe." Shifang choked up and laughed.
Let go of Dong Hai and come to Gao Feng's side, Gao Feng didn't speak, he opened his arms directly, and the two of them hugged tightly, and then Gao Feng patted Shifang's sturdy shoulder and said, "Yes, the strength is not small, everyone is waiting for you to come back!" ”
"Well, thank you, Big Brother Gao." After Shifang finished speaking, he looked at Wei Wuliang, who was a little cramped on the side, "Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to be able to send me off." ”
"I don't have to do manual work, so I naturally have time, by the way, and besides, we don't have to hug it, right? Oops, a little bit of strength, I'm a fucking scholar! ”
Shifang rubbed it a few times before saying: "Brother help you take a little more effort, Brother Gao, they are too straight, I'm afraid that they will suffer, Brother Wei, you can take care of it a little more." ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the boat.
"Hmm." Responding in a low voice, Wei Wuliang suddenly came back to his senses, no, damn it, big brother Gao, they are straight, dare to love my old Wei is a trick. But Shifang had already strode towards a ship, Wei Wuliang sighed, hey, Brother Shifang seemed to be crying, looking at his somewhat wet shoulders, Wei Wuliang turned his head to look at Gao Feng Dong Hai. "What about you?"
"It's windy!"
"There's sand!"
Wei Wuliang swallowed the words "also cried" into his throat, watched the two turn around directly, and hurriedly followed, scolding in his heart: Damn, they are really straighter than me.
The sea ship is very large, twenty meters long, and on the deck, there are groups of three or five around some high-rollers, Shifang hurriedly glanced at it, and found a few slightly impressed figures, which should have been seen by the auction house.
"Oh, a little monk actually came to join in the fun, look at it like this, the hair hasn't grown." A big man with a hooked nose walked over, and beside him, another person said: "People are monks, of course the hair is not even, didn't the eldest brother open his eyes and talk nonsense?" ”
"This donor said with a smile, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, you wait to get it, and the monk will naturally go to get it, how can there be any size, and the hair does not grow Qi, has anyone stipulated it?" Shifang bowed with one hand and saluted and said.
"The kid is looking for death." The hook-nosed man was happy in his heart, his two brothers had some prestige in Ji'an City, that Ji'an City was still some distance away from Guangming City, this time I was able to come here because I received a list some time ago to protect a batch of red goods transported by sea, three days ago after witnessing the fairy grass of the Ruyi Auction House, the brothers paid the deposit to the Haitou Gang as soon as they combined, and the price was increased by 20% before they stayed. It's just that the two of them are outsiders, and they are weak, and the people around them are in groups of three or five, all of them have bad intentions, so they are ready to find someone to set up their authority, so as to show their strength, so that when others move themselves, they will also have one more layer of consideration, and this little monk who came to the door is really knowledgeable and interesting, it is simply tailor-made for the brothers, they are not very old, and they are single here. Then it's no wonder that our brothers.
While speaking, the hook-nosed man greeted him with a punch, and the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes were already happy to enmity and hatred, and if they didn't agree with each other, they might as well solve it with their fists. Looking at the bald head that was close at hand, the hooked nose suddenly softened, but the strength could not be recovered.
Everyone sweated for the little monk, and only the eyebrows of the room knife were raised.
"Bang!" , Everyone heard a dull voice, as if they could imagine what kind of force the little monk had endured, and then their eyes widened, ready to see what kind of ending it would be.
Quiet, very quiet. The hook-nosed man felt as if his fist had hit a piece of rotten wood, and according to his own strength, the little monk should fly in response, or even fall into the sea, and then he would be a little kind, and then he would be rescued. It's just that the bald head in front of him didn't seem to be far away, and Shifang, who had just raised his head at this time, smiled at him, and his snow-white teeth were particularly dazzling.
Mu Mu withdrew his fist, as if his fist didn't hurt at all, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Donor?" Shifang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the hook-nosed man, watched the other party finally come back to his senses, smiled again and said: "Don't scare the monk, the monk is not afraid, there is a way that I will not go to hell who will go to hell, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead," Shifang paused for a moment and continued: "Aren't there still many heroes?" I just went to see it and gain a little more knowledge, without him, it was just beneficial to practice. ”
"Hmm." Mu Ran answered, and the man beside him quietly pulled him aside.
Shifang said Amitabha Buddha again, then looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he walked towards a place.
"Why are you here, just you?" Fang Dao asked. And beside him, fifteen black-clothed men stood quietly with serious faces.
"But no, it's good to have an acquaintance, otherwise I don't know what to do in the future?"
Fang Dao glanced at Shifang with disdain, but still spoke: "Since we have come out, and we are both from Guangming City, let's go together." "Anyway, no one can threaten himself, and after taking Huang Ya Dan, Fang Dao is confident enough to defeat everyone on this ship.
"Thank you very much. Hey, I think I've seen that person too? ”
"General Li's subordinates, next to him should be good in the army, I didn't expect that even they were moved, interesting, really interesting." With strong confidence, Fang Dao said with a chuckle.
"Do you know all these people?"
As if he had seen through Shifang's thoughts, Fang Dao didn't mind too much, and said slowly: "There are also a group of generals from the county guard's mansion, and it is said that the martial arts are extraordinary. And the people of Zhengzhou and Luoyang should be on the other two ships, and the others, some are lone rangers in the rivers and lakes, some are private men under the rich man, and there are also some green forest thieves. ”
Fang Dao introduced it in detail, and added a sentence at the end: "They are all some good players in nearby state cities, and even some people have official backgrounds, and the two who did it with you just now, I don't know very well, listening to the accent, it should be from Ji'an City." ”
"Oh."
As the conversation continued, the ship finally began to move slowly, and after a while, Fang Dao closed his eyes, and Shifang sat up on the ground. After more than an hour, Shifang was awakened by a noisy sound.
"Look, Fairy Island!" "It's here, it's ......"
The crowd poured onto the deck, and Shifang saw a black silhouette through the cracks.
