Yu Shao asked Master Hongquan, "What are the Four Noble Truths?" ”

"Truth, for Sanskrit, is the meaning of truth, if it is not reversed, it is the truth. 1. The Truth www.biquge.info of Suffering: Explain that the world is a bitter fruit. 2. Collective Truth: Explain that karma and afflictions are the root cause of suffering. 3. True Stopping: Explaining liberation and attainment. 4. The Truth of the Path: Explain the path to freedom from suffering. Because it is what the Buddha said, the people of the Hereafter call it the Noble Truth," Hongquan replied.

Yu Shao asked, "What is the truth of suffering?" ”

Hongquan replied: "Sentient beings are often burdened and annoyed by impermanence, so it is said to be suffering. All living beings can be divided into five categories: hell, evil ghosts, animals, humans, and celestial beings, which are called the five pleasures; Plus the asuras, and called the six realms. The body and mind of sentient beings are sentient beings, and the world can be divided into three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness. Earth, water, fire, wind, sun, moon and stars, as well as the five forces of light, sound, wind, cold, and heat are called the world. Everything that is done is impermanent; Impermanence is necessarily suffering, involuntary, and uncomfortable; Sentient beings cannot make decisions about the sentient world and the material world, so it is called suffering. The Buddha summarized them as the eight sufferings, which are birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, unwanting, and the five aggregates. ”

"The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering" Yu Shao continued to ask: "What is the collection of truths?" ”

Hongquan replied: "The cause of suffering is the collection of life and death. The Buddha said that we have 84,000 afflictions, which can be summarized as six afflictions and ten confusions, and we have the greed for the five desires of wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep. Anger is anger, wanting to lose and stay. If you don't know what to do, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you are called stupid. 'Greed, hatred, and ignorance,' are called the three poisons. Arrogant ostentation is called slowness, and suspicion, physical view, side view, evil view, seeing and seeing, and forbidden and taking view are combined into ten confusions. The retribution caused by karma is called karmic retribution, and it is called a collection. There are three kinds of karma in this intention: good, evil, and unremembered. The creation of survival, survival and regeneration is to continue to move forward for life. ”

Yu Shao asked, "What is the true extinction?" ”

Hongquan replied: "The Buddha said that Nirvana is the reality of all laws, and the so-called 'emptiness of all laws, unborn and imperishable.'" 'Everything in the world arises from the harmony of causes and conditions, and all of them are ignorant and afflicted, and because we are confused about what is in front of us, the reality is that we are not born and do not perish, and we have attained nirvana. Arhats attain nirvana, and nothing can be attained. ”

Yu Shao asked, "What is the truth of the Dao?" ”

Hongquan replied: "The Tao is the cause of the world, the way to liberate suffering, and the path to Nirvana is called the Tao." The Noble Eightfold Path is the Truth of the Path. ”

Yu Shao asked, "What is the Noble Eightfold Path?" ”

Hongquan replied: "Right view, right thinking, right speech, right karma, right life, right convenience, right thought, and right determination are the Eightfold Path, and in a broad sense, they are the thirty-seven qualities. ”

Yu Shao asked, "What is the truth of the Dao?" ”

Hongquan replied: "Dependent origination, Sanskrit, also known as the twelve dependent origination branches, is the truth obtained by Shakyamuni Buddha through self-cultivation, which refers to the twelve links in the process from "ignorance" to "old death". 1. Ignorance, 2. Action, 3. Awareness, 4. Name, 5, 6, 6, 6, Touch, 7, Receiving, 8. Love, 9, Taking, 10, Being, 11, Birth, 12. Old Age and Death are called 12 causes. For the line of ignorance, the knowledge of the fate, the fame and the color, the six into the fame, the touch of the six in, the fate of the touch, the love of the fate, the love of the love, the fate of the taking, the fate of the birth, the old death of the fate. ”

Master Hongquan's disciples were also already drowsy, listening to the questions and answers of the master and Yu Shao, as if falling into the clouds. Hongquan did not blame the disciple's disrespect, and continued: "Twelve karma beings. Ignorance. It is called the obstacle of troubles. Two lines. Karmic karma. These two branches belong to the past. Three senses. Hold the fetus a breath. Four colors. The name is the heart. Color is quality. Five or six into. Six roots. In this tire. Six touches. This is out of the tire. Seven acceptances. Accept things like and dislikes in the future. From knowing to receiving. The name is now five fruits. Eight loves. Love men and women, gold and silver, etc. Nine takes. It is to see all realms and take the heart. These two future causes. It's all troubles. Such as ignorance in the past. Ten have. It's done. It is the future because of karma. As in the past. Eleven lives. The future is alive. Twelve old dead. These are the Four Noble Truths. So the reopener. The one who is aware of fate. Contemplate the truth first. The so-called ignorance of karma. Acquaintance with fate. The twelve branches are conjunct with the Four Noble Truths. ”

Yu Shao said: "The master said it thoroughly, and he was dull, and he could only slowly understand it. ”

Hongquan replied with a smile: "All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of all sentient beings, with different understandings, different ups and downs, such as to make sentient beings enlighten the Buddha's knowledge, and say that the immeasurable power is gradual, and the size is round." In fact, it is nothing more than to make sentient beings realize the inherent Buddha nature, get rid of the boundless sea of suffering, and turn back to the shore. ”

"The master talks about Zen machines, and he is ignorant in the next place." Yu Shao said.

Master Hongquan smiled silently, got up to dismiss the disciples, waved his hand to let Yu Shao enter the meditation room, and gave him a copy of Prince Zhaoming's handwritten copy of the "Diamond Sutra", which is a handwritten copy of Master Hongquan, and the font is 'simple and perfect, as if it were natural'. The word is like its person, pure inside and outside, the cause of Bodhi.

"Don't let the son be obsessed with the scriptures, but ask the son to understand his meaning, and if he is depressed, he will read a few chapters, and with the child's understanding, he can solve one or two." After Hongquan finished speaking, he waved his hand to send off the guests.

Yu Shao left Master Hongquan's meditation room and put the manuscript Diamond Sutra given by Master Hongquan into his arms. The next day, Master Hongquan went out early in the morning and traveled all over the world, and Yu Shao didn't see him. A group of people said goodbye to Zhaomingyuan Temple and continued their bittersweet journey.

Yu Shao is young and vigorous, full of enthusiasm, and consciously disdains fame and fortune, but his heart is still ready to move, thinking about achieving something big, and he is so interested in the formation of soldiers, how can he be like water and see through the red dust. Although I know some Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism classics, but when I really face Master Hongquan's Zen machine, I don't know what to do, and I am confused. "Diamond Sutra" is so obscure that Yu Shao is estimated to be unbearable, but he admires Hongquan's calligraphy, and his calligraphy is spotless. It is impossible to achieve a state of mind without decades of attainments and a state of mind that is both inside and out.

A few people stopped and stopped, and there was nothing important to do, and there was time. Dapan Mountain is full of fog all the year round, the surrounding undulating mountains and ancient trees are towering and cover the sky, birds and beasts are inaccessible, there is no road ahead, and you can only determine the position according to the stars. A few days and nights of eating and sleeping in the open, sharpened everyone's will, which is more thrilling than revenge, coupled with the drizzle from time to time, falling on the leaves into water droplets and flowing down, soaking everyone's clothes, the wind rose at night, the whole body was shivering, everyone's lips were cold and white, and the mood was also bad with the weather. There is no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind, after a few days of trekking, everyone is too lazy to speak, only Zhuge Feng and Yu Yan hug each other to keep warm, and there is some vitality, no one sleeps in this environment, and even the fire can't be lit, except for trees or trees, even a cave to shelter from the wind and rain can't be found.

Everyone gritted their teeth, martial arts are useless at this moment, you can fight with anyone but you can't fight with the sky, the top of Dapan Mountain is not a cliff, but a green ocean, endless, how small it is among people. Everyone was tormented, Li Hai and Yu Shao were cutting through thorns in front, Zhuge Feng protected Yu Yan and Shen Bing, the bushes were full of crises, unknown snakes, insects, rats and ants abounded, tigers, leopards and jackals had green eyes at night, staring at a group of people, the wild boar herd was as strong as a cow rampage, the skin was so thick that even the missiles with few feathers were just scratching, and the surrounding darkness could not distinguish the world, as if there was no distinction between southeast and northwest in the chaos, everyone was exhausted and persevered, and they all wanted to get out of this bird place as soon as possible.

At dawn, everyone was about to collapse, a white fog in front of them, faintly visible cooking smoke embellished in it, everyone's constricted brows finally relaxed, there was a stone wall in front of it, and there was a book on it, "Mo Xiao Farmhouse Wax Wine is muddy, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year." There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. The flute and drum follow the spring society closely, and the clothes are simple and ancient. From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night. It is a poem by Lu You called "Visiting Shanxi Village".

As the sun rises in the east, Yu Shao and the others have reached the foot of the mountain.

This place is the west side of the Dapan Mountain, the riverbed is flat and smooth rock, the stream is crystal clear, clear to the bottom, the sun shines, and the water is shining. Looking at the bottom of the stream near the stream, the golden is like a granite paving. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Mesozoic volcanic eruption produced nearly horizontal layered rhyolite, which is a rare natural wonder in the world, named Huaxi. In the depths of the long flat stream, the trickling stream falls into a fun, the steep walls on both sides are sandwiched, the dense forest covers the sky, and the environment is quiet. Huaxi and Lishu Creek intersect and meet, and the stream water flows into the deep pool, forming two waterfalls that intersect, with a drop of more than ten zhang. At this time, the two waterfalls are in one in the season of abundant water, pouring down, gurgling sound, and the momentum is magnificent. There are a lot of rare plants such as seven-seed flowers and fragrant fruit trees distributed by the stream, and the flowers are beautiful and fruity. On the side of the double waterfall contention, there is a huge rock, on which there are monkeys playing, engraved with the words 'stone fox rock'. The stone raccoon rock boulder stands upright, about ten zhang high, steep and precipitous, there is a gap between the stones, the upper narrow and the lower big form the cave, although the stone raccoon rock is steep, Yu Shao climbs the rock with bare hands, enters the hole to explore the end, the space in the hole is spacious, can accommodate dozens of people. Shen Bing looks at the stone from the southeast side, its shape resembles a white horse galloping westward, and the stone shape on the horseback resembles a Tang monk wearing a Buddha crown and a robe riding a white dragon horse. Everyone was amazed by the magic of nature.

At the bottom of the stream, smooth as cutting, no sand and soil rock, the stream is flowing water, clear to the bottom, five people walk barefoot on the flat stream, the riverbed caresses the soles of the feet, small fish shuttle between the toes, this is undoubtedly a beautiful natural foot bath, now in the hot summer day at noon, wading in the flat stream, playing with the flower stream is even more wonderful, fun and no inquiry. There is a long corridor across Huaxi in front, and the wooden structure of the corridor house can shelter from the wind and rain. Yu Shao hugged Shen Bing, Zhuge Feng narrowed Yu Yan's waist and jumped onto the bridge with Li Hai to rest for a while. There is also an offering platform in the center of the covered bridge, which is dedicated to the god of the bridge, in order to bless the people with peace and peace, and less disasters and fewer difficulties. The covered bridge is majestic and has unique characteristics. No wonder Mi Fu wants to say that "the scenery here is three Wu Wu, Pingtu Qingliu is different in the world", and inscribed the four big words of "the world is a must", maybe he also had a flat stream on the "old man chatting about the madness of youth".

After a short rest, everyone crossed the long corridor bridge and entered a bamboo forest, which grew well and shaded the sun. Interestingly, in this bamboo forest, many bamboos grow in pairs, crowded next to each other, shoulder to shoulder, like a pair of lovers who love each other, hence the name 'Mandarin Duck Bamboo Forest'. In front of the bamboo forest is Huaxi Village.

Although it is a small village, I see many tourists coming here to enjoy the scenery and waters. There is actually a small inn in the village, called "Huaxi Building", the upper floor is the house, the downstairs is the wine table, and it is full of friends at noon.

Yu Shao took out a silver ingot and gave it to the shopkeeper, without change, and asked for three guest rooms. Yu Shao hasn't spent silver for a long time, and he spends money everywhere in this poor and remote place, and today he finally spent some money, and Yu Shao is very generous. The shopkeeper immediately enthusiastically instructed Xiao Er to prepare wine and food, and led the horses to the stable, and Shimizu forage entertained these hard-working 'friends'.

Upstairs in the inn, Yu Shao and Shen Bing were in one room, Li Hai was alone, Zhuge Feng and Yu Yan were a little twisted, everyone was tired all night, and they all wanted to go to the room to take a nap first, and they didn't care about the intimacy of the little couple. When the wine and food come up, Xiao Er will come and wake them up. Yu Shao also ordered to wait until two hours later to serve the food, and the shopkeeper was worried that there were many customers at the moment, and there were no more vacant seats. The shopkeeper happily agreed, thinking that Yu Shao was an empathetic son.

When Yu Shao and the others went downstairs, the passengers downstairs had already left, and only two guests were sitting on the wine table in the corner, Yu Shao suddenly felt strange, even if it was past the meal time, it couldn't be empty, and when he looked at it, it turned out that it was someone from the Duwei Mansion who had arrived. They had already guessed that Yu Shao would pass through Huaxi Village, and saw Yu Shao's carriage at the door of the inn, and asked Xiao Er, sure enough, Yu Shao and the others were resting upstairs, and they hadn't even eaten yet. The people of the Governor's Mansion honestly and unceremoniously chartered all the wine tables and drove away all the guests. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er also hid, seeing that it was the people from the government who came to trouble, they all avoided it from afar, no wonder Yu Shao slept loudly and Xiao Er didn't come to knock on the door.

The people of the Duwei Mansion thought that there were only Yu Shao and Shen Bing, but they didn't expect Li Hai and Zhuge Feng to be there, which was a bit embarrassing for the two of them, they had all seen the power of Li Hai's 'ghost', plus Zhuge Feng and Yu Shao joined forces, but it was not something that their brothers could solve. Yu Shao walked up to them, hugged his fists and said politely: "The two brothers are not harmed, since it seems that fate is not over when they meet here." ”

The people of the Duwei Mansion saw Yu Shao followed by Li Hai, so they had no choice but to get up and salute Yu Shao reluctantly, and said: "Childe is polite, you can still see Childe's demeanor again in this poor and remote place, it is indeed fate." ”

"It's not a demeanor, it's just a down-and-out scholar, and I'm still hungry, if I can let us eat first, maybe I'll still be in style." Yu Shao said. "Of course, of course, if Childe doesn't give up, how about sharing the table together, let's do the east." "Don't dare, I have already ordered the shopkeeper to serve the wine and food, if you ask the two of you to raise your hand, don't embarrass this small inn, just let them come up with wine and food, and I am grateful." Yu Shao knew that the shopkeeper must have been driven away by them.

The people in the Governor's Mansion were a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I told the shopkeeper to prepare some things for us to use only on the road, and I will go and call him back." With that, one of the guards went to the fire room of the inn.

"Then there will be labor." Yu Shao watched the guard leave.

After a while, Xiao Zhan brought a table of wine and food with trepidation, and after a few trips back and forth, he saw that the people in the Governor's Mansion looked vicious, and almost dropped a pot of good wine on the ground. Yu Shao saw the wine jug fall over, and a quick arrow jumped up, landed beside Xiao Er, and straightened the wine jug. The two people of the Duwei Mansion had never seen Yu Shao's move in Taiji Star Elephant Village, and now they intended to show their light skills in front of them. With this light skill, the people of the Duwei Mansion sighed to themselves, presumably the martial arts are also superior, and they dare not act rashly, if they make a rash move, it is estimated that they are the ones who hang up, and they are polite to Yu Shao, plus the master who holds the divine sword, it is estimated that even the little girl Shen Bing's hair has not been able to touch a single one, and what are you talking about arresting people.

On the wine table are peasant side dishes, 'Huaxi local chicken', 'dried bamboo shoots', 'ham pot', 'creek grouper', 'plum cabbage button pork', 'bracken shredded pork', 'mushroom greens', and a pot of soup made of 'kudzu powder'. It smelled fragrant, and everyone was hungry, and they had already swallowed it desperately with saliva in their mouths. Shen Bing even aroused the roundworms in his stomach, and he couldn't wait to taste them first. When Yu Yan arrived in a crowded place, of course she had to be reserved, and she had the demeanor of some of the ladies who sat next to Shen Bing and ate slowly. Although Shen Bing was born in a wealthy family, he was pampered after all, and he was a little unruly.

After Yu Shao and Li Hai ate a few bowls of white rice, they also began to relax and sat down on the wine table of the people in the Governor's Mansion, and drank a little wine without fear. Zhuge Feng accompanied Yu Yan and Shen Bing, and watched Yu Shao and how they teased the people of the Duwei Mansion with a smile.

Yu Shao said straight to the point: "Brother Liao didn't come by himself, so he sent two of them over, so I look down on him." ”

"Don't get me wrong, Childe, we just happened to be here on business."

"Isn't it, tacitly, if the two of you are not afraid of death and insist on taking the little girl away, I can't do martial arts, but you know my brother's kung fu." Yu Shao said and patted Li Hai's shoulder.

"Of course, with this master's kung fu and Excalibur, we are by no means opponents."

"Okay, I don't want to embarrass you, leave the embroidered spring knife, you can just do it." Yu Shao's expression was disdainful.

Looking at Yu Shao's hanging appearance, the people of the Duwei Mansion were angry, but if they lost the embroidered spring knife, it was not repaired by Liao Chengyi. There is no other way out at the moment, and after listening to Yu Shao's aggressive words, he can only fight to the death.

Yu Shao originally wanted them to leave their weapons without harming innocent people, and he didn't want to fight them. I didn't think that this embroidered spring knife was the mark weight of the Governor's Mansion, so how could I put it down casually. When the people of the Duwei Mansion were holding their knives and making a move, three big men came in at the door, but it was the three brothers Zhuge Wuneng who arrived, and they relieved the siege of the people of the Duwei Mansion. The people of the Governor's Mansion already knew that Li Hai and Zhuge Wu could turn their faces and deny people, and they had become enemies, and they also met some people from the Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-two Peaks on the road, and those people wanted to humiliate them when they saw the officers and soldiers, but the Governor's Mansion was not an ordinary official, and they could be bullied casually, but they were subdued by the people of the Governor's Mansion in a few strokes, and they knew some grievances from their mouths. Liao Chengyi generously let them go, there is no need to entangle with some passers-by.

Li Hai and Zhuge Feng looked at the three Zhuge brothers, and they were very red when they saw each other. The inn suddenly became tense, shrouded in a dark cloud, the tense atmosphere could foresee the disaster of blood light, that Xiao Er was originally soothed by Yu Shao, but seeing the sudden change in front of him, everyone had already shown their swords, ready to fight to the death, Xiao Er was so frightened that he peed his crotch and crawled out of the inn. In order to stand up in front of the enemy, Zhuge Wu was able to stand up for himself, and when Xiao Er went out and passed by him, he slapped his palm towards Xiao Er, and immediately his brain burst and bled from the seven orifices, and he lay on the ground softly. The one who saw the display case in the back hall saw that he was scared and urinated. Yu Shao and the others all gritted their teeth with hatred for Zhuge Wuneng, and acted too ruthlessly, and they were so vicious to an innocent person, everyone was indignant, and even the people in the Duwei's Mansion couldn't stand it, they just drove away the guests, and they didn't want to harm the people of the inn, but Zhuge Wu could make a miserable situation as soon as he made a move.
