Chapter 24: The Battle of Luoshui (1)
The one who shouted was Zheng Yuanhong, the master of Baishi Mountain, who had woken up at this moment, and the first thing he woke up was to grab Zhikong and Zhiming who came into the room, and scolded them, complaining that the monks were not good, and they were fascinated, and this sin was naturally to ask him for it back. Zheng Yuanhong said: "I remember kneeling down in a daze, you two bald asses not only harmed me, but also knelt down with me in vain, kneel back to me quickly." That Zhiming said: "Master Zhengmen, we are all unintentional, I don't know that you have fallen into the evil spell and can't hear the Buddha's words, please forgive me." Zheng Yuanhong did not follow: "I knelt and knelt, there is gold under the man's knees, although I am a cultivator, I only kneel to the ancestors of the three Qing Dynasty, not to kneel to the monk, you don't kneel to return me, I have no face to meet the people of the same way, let alone the ancestors of the Taoists." Kneel, kneel, kneel! That Zhikong and Zhiming were full of embarrassment, and if they really knelt down to Zheng Yuanhong, it would never be possible. Fang Zhong saw that Zheng Yuanhong had already regained his senses, but he was entangled with others, and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, then kneel down." Zheng Yuanhong shook his head and said: "I can't avoid it, I can't avoid it, if the Lord of Hou Island and the Lord of Jiangguan know that I kneel to the bald donkey, I will definitely not be able to raise my head to be ridiculed by them." Fang Zhong said: "Who said that you knelt down to the monks, in my opinion, it is the Buddha who kneels to the master of Zhengmen." Zheng Yuanhong said: "The Buddha can't do it, I'm not a monk, he can't stand me kneeling." Fang Zhong said: "Not necessarily, the handprint in the master of the Zheng Sect was invited by the senior monks in the temple to solve it, you are not sad or upset now, people are kind to you, why not kneel down and thank you." Zheng Yuanhong was right when he thought about it, he had received favors from others, and he had not yet repaid them, so how could he let his benefactor kowtow. Zheng Yuanhong let go of Zhiming and said loudly: "Then you don't have to kneel, anyway, it's the Buddha who I'm kneeling in, not the two of you, so I should be grateful to the Buddha for saving me." Zhikong Zhiming hurriedly said: "Exactly, exactly." ”
Suddenly, someone outside the door laughed loudly: "The kneeling Buddha is not a kneeling person, as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, even if he really kneels, it is a kneeling Bodhisattva, not a kneeling Zheng Sect Master." Fang Zhong turned his head to look, and saw Master Confession leading a group of monks standing outside the door. Next to the Master of Repentance, there was also an old man in a big red robe, who was skinny, but his eyes were shining, and a string of Buddhist beads under his neck was made of unknown bones, which looked quite terrifying at a glance. Fang Zhong stepped forward and saluted, "Junior to meet Master Repentance. Although Zheng Yuanhong had never seen the Repentant Master himself, his reputation was like thunder, so he had naturally heard of it, and when he saw Fang Zhong call it like this, it must be true, and he suddenly exclaimed: "The holy monk is the Repentant Master?" In the lower Baishi Mountain, Zheng Yuanhong saw the master. Master Confession smiled: "No need to be polite, I know about the Lord of the Zheng Gate, it is indeed the unintentional fault of the monks under my sect, since it has been healed, I hope the Master of the Zheng Gate will not take it to heart." Zheng Yuanhong saw that he was still so modest under his fame, where would he offend others, and said with shame: "If it weren't for the master asking someone for treatment, he would still be a puppet now." Master Confession pointed to the thin old monk next to him and said, "This one is my senior brother of confession." Fang Zhong and Zheng Yuanhong were shocked again, the master of confession was one of the three great monks of Ciyun Temple, it turned out to be like this, and hurriedly went over to pay respects. Master Tong Confession was expressionless, just nodded slightly, and recited the Buddha's name in his mouth to be considered polite, and did not say a word of gossip, which was completely different from the speech of Master Tong Confession. Master Confession said: "My senior brother also heard that the seal appeared, so he specially came to ask Master Fang to know some details. Fang Zhong said: "If the master has anything to ask, just announce me over." Tong Penitent nodded, and said to the rest of the monks, "You should go to the other hall to chant first." The monks who followed behind the confession and confession, and even Na Zhikong and Zhiming all agreed and went elsewhere. []
After the repentant master broke away from those monks, he said solemnly: "Master Fang, I have already told the abbot and the elders about the introduction of the seal, and after discussing it, I feel that this matter is very strict, but this kind of thing cannot be widely publicized, and I ask the two of you to talk about it at will, don't tell anyone about it." Fang Zhong said: "The master commanded, how dare the juniors be disrespectful." It's just that these people also regard themselves as Buddhists and secretly mix into my eastern soil, which will definitely be detrimental to your temple, and the master should be careful. Tong repented and smiled: "The Ciyun Temple is just a small pure land, and it is born and destroyed, and it is not taken to heart." My senior brother and I have already discussed it properly, and the outside matter has been investigated in detail by the senior brother, and we will secretly investigate and find out the location of the black crocodile master. Fang Zhong said worriedly: "Master may not know that the black crocodile master is not here alone, he claims to be a disciple under the throne of the Great Dragon God, but he came to find the Great Minglun Dharma King, and the younger generation just met a disciple who claimed to be the Great Minglun Dharma King, and the supernatural power was really good." Confession and repentance changed at the same time: "What? The confessor, who had never spoken, shook his head and said, "The outer way has prospered, and my Buddha needs to roar as a lion." He repented: "Violence is countered with violence, and I don't know what is wrong." Tong confessed: "Kill to stop killing, kill yourself to become a Buddha!" The Confessed Master sighed: "If it is really impossible, as the senior brother said, fearlessly suppress the evil spirits. ”
Both of them are eminent monks, and what they said was concise and to the point, although Zheng Yuanhong didn't know, even Fang Zhong only understood a rough idea, that is, he had experienced many twists and turns, lived under people for a long time, and he didn't believe in any words about living in a good place and forming a good relationship. Good people have no good reward, and wicked people live for thousands of years, if you want to open your eyes to God, you have to do the right thing on behalf of heaven. The so-called killing by killing is not blindly killing, but accumulating good fruits, eliminating evil without exhaustion, and correcting the results. The master of confession was originally a monk who comprehended the Buddha's principles in the midst of fighting, and unlike the Ming Sutra of the master of confession, he was naturally more aggressive.
Fang Zhong said: "If you meet those people again after the junior leaves, as long as you can find out, you will definitely come and tell the two masters to know." Tong Confession nodded, and said repentantly: "Master Fang Shi is in Kunlun, and the battle is in full swing at the moment, but my Ciyun Temple can't help much, just because this battle was first provoked by Kunlun, and the real person in charge of the sect has not said a word, so he doesn't want us to interfere." In this way, I can visit the black crocodile master who came from unknown sources with peace of mind. ”
Master Tong Confession chatted with Fang Zhong and Zheng Yuanhong for a few more words, and then left with Tong Confession. Zheng Yuanhong was full of excitement and said: "I saw the two monks of Ciyun Temple in one moment, it was really worth the trip. As soon as he got rid of it, he had no worries, so he thought about how to show off in front of people, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately. Fang Zhong's injuries had not yet healed, so he persuaded Zheng Yuanhong to stay for another night, and after a night of meditation and recuperation, early the next morning, he asked Zhikong and Zhiming to pass the message to Master Repentance, that is, to return to Luoshui City.
There were no words all the way, Fang Zhong and Zheng Yuanhong sat on their mounts and ran around for two years, and by the second evening, they were already not far from Luoshui City, and after walking a few miles, the city gate was in sight. Zheng Yuanhong was about to urge the rhinoceros to rush in, but suddenly saw countless lanterns and torches lit outside the city gate, and the two groups of people stood separately. In the light of the lamp, two people were casting their own spells in the open space, and they were fighting with swords and swords.
