The monks smiled when they saw the silver money, and sent someone to lead Yun Xuansu and the others to the guest room to rest.

The monk who led the way said as he walked: "Tan Yue came at the right time, Pei Zhi and Wang Jianjun are in this temple, and soon a Dharma meeting will be held, and it is a great event of my Zen Buddhism to invite monks from all over Hunan Province. ”

The monk led them to a small courtyard, and the king pouted, "Why is it so small?" ”

The monk said: "There are all nobles in the temple these days, and it is inevitable that you will be wronged." ”

When he went out, Wang Dudu said to his master: "These monks are really poor, they don't even have a big hall, they are far worse than our Taoist temple!" ”

Yun Xuansu shook his head and said: "Zen Buddhism has only been a legislative hall since the beginning of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, not a large hall, and does not recite the Buddha's name, and builds a meditation room for enlightenment. ”

This rule continued until a hundred years later, five generations later, when the Zen master of the Dharma Eye sect extended his life and vigorously advocated the dual cultivation of Zen and pure cultivation (Zen Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism), and Zen Buddhism began to recite Amitabha Buddha.

At the same time, Guo Hong quietly walked to the back mountain, and Cao Shouzhen, who was dressed as Ding Yishan, was waiting here.

"Senior brother, how is the arrangement?" Guo Hong asked.

"Don't worry, let Wang Jufang have fun this time! It's just that I heard that there is a royal gift in the Miyin Temple, is the junior brother interested? ”

"We see the opportunity to act, although Lingyou is old, but the internal strength is more refined, I am afraid it is not easy to steal the treasure here." Guo Hong frowned and pondered.

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to slip away directly, can he still stop us?"

Guo Hong smiled and nodded, Lingyou is already over seventy years old, and people who practice martial arts generally begin to decline after sixty years, and their strength over seventy years old is only half of the original at most, and it is good to be able to retain one achievement at the age of eighty or ninety.

This is the second of the four calamities of birth, old age, sickness and death in Buddhism.

So there is a saying, called boxing is afraid of being young.

Maybe Lingyou, as one of the seven peers in the world, has stronger internal strength than when he was young, and he can retain a little more combat power, but it will never exceed sixty percent of his heyday.

The masters of the rivers and lakes respect the achievements he has achieved and will not come to challenge, because even if he wins, he will not win, and if he loses, it will be even more shameful.

Guo Hong has studied hard in the past two years, and he has approached Liu Tai's skills, plus black and white arms and various miraculous skills, he may not be able to beat Lingyou, who is only sixty percent of his strength, but it is definitely not far behind, if he wants to escape, he still can't keep the other party.

Liu Tai passed on his empty hand to Guo Hong, so even Cao Shouzhen had made great progress, and he was not ready to let his senior brother take risks.

If you want to steal treasure, it's better to do it alone.

On the second day, Guo Hong was woken up by the noise outside, came out to ask, and the monk on duty said: "Today, the temple shows the believers two imperial treasures, one is the bowl used by Master Xuanzang when he took the scriptures, and the other is the prince's jade pendant. ”

"Where is it, can I go and see it now?"

The monk nodded.

Guo Hong went out to stretch his waist, and saw many people gathered in the open courtyard in the distance, so he walked over.

There was a queue here, and he moved slowly along the flow of people, and after half a quarter of an hour came to the middle, where he saw several monks maintaining order, led by Hui Lian.

Many believers bowed to the two imperial treasures, Guo Hong squeezed to the side, and looked closely, in the middle was a stone platform, on which were placed two sandalwood boxes, and the lid of the box was opened.

In front of one box is a mottled bowl, and in front of the other is a jade pendant.

Guo Hong's eyes shrank slightly, and he stared at the jade pendant intently.

This jade pendant turned out to be very similar to the one he lost in the ancient temple back then!

Guo Hong squeezed forward slightly, got closer and took a closer look, and it was a little consistent with what he remembered.

His heart moved, and he just wanted to use his empty hand to take a look, but suddenly felt like a mang on his back, so he hurriedly stopped his movements and slowly retreated.

Guo Hong didn't dare to turn around and leave quickly, he didn't return directly to his residence, he walked into a forest and took a breath, his palms were sweaty.

Not far from the two imperial gifts, an old monk in a white robe slowly withdrew his gaze, and a monk walked over to the side.

Hong Yan clasped his palms together and said to the old monk, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

It turned out that this old monk was Weishan Lingyou, and the direction he was staring at was the forest that Guo Hong entered.

"Nothing."

Hong Yu just felt that Lingyou's body was exuding a murderous aura, like an old lion swearing his territory, and he hadn't seen his master show such an aura for a long time.

He also glanced at the woods, but did not continue to ask, and the master refused to say that he could not ask.

This little old man is getting older and more stubborn, and he won't tell his disciples what he has on his mind like before.

After another half an hour, Guo Hong returned to the guest room after making sure that there was no tail, Yun Xuansu and Wang Du had already gotten up, but they were still grooming, and it took a while to clean up.

The second daughter still wore a hat to go out, and Guo Hong and others accompanied the guards.

When they came to the outside of the temple, they saw that a high platform had been built at the mountain gate, and the monks from all over the country gathered, and they took the stage one by one to preach the Dharma, and when they asked, they knew that they had been preaching for five consecutive days, and the audience was full of sand gates (the collective name of monks and laymen), and there were about thousands of people.

Today, it was Lingyou's turn to preach the Fa, so the number of listeners who came reached its peak.

After noon, Yun Xuansu saw an old monk over seventy years old, wearing a robe and a hat, and walked on stage without anyone's support.

He sat cross-legged on the futon and said to the monks in the audience: "My teacher Huaihai once said that if you are enlightened, you will not be enlightened, and you will not be able to do it without a heart. But there is no vanity, and all saints are equal to the heart. Originally, the mind was prepared. Thou art good at self-support......

"Jingyun: If you want to see Buddha nature, you should look at the causes and conditions of the seasons. The season has come, such as confusion and understanding, such as forgetting and remembering. Fang Province has already taken things, and does not get it from him......

"The heart of the husband is straightforward and unhypocritical, without back and face, and without deceit. In all the time, the audio-visual is ordinary, and there is no grievance. I don't close my eyes and ears, but I don't have anything to do with it.

"From all the saints, it is only said that the turbid side is in trouble. If there are not many things that are like many evil senses and feelings that want to learn, such as the autumn water is clear, pure and inactive, and there is no hindrance to Ningning, call him a Taoist, also known as a person who has nothing to do. ”

Everyone in the audience listened fascinated, and their bodies fell to the ground.

Yun Xuansu and Wang Du both sat up straight, looking very abrupt in the crowd.

Wang Dudu asked Yun Xuansu in a low voice: "Isn't what this monk said about my Taoist quiet inaction?" ”

Yun Xuansu leaned down as the others leaned over and whispered, "Don't speak, look around, be careful of being killed!" ”

Wang Dudu quickly looked around, and found that several people nearby had turned their heads to look at this side, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and quietly stuck out their tongues at the master.

Unconsciously, after two hours, after Lingyou finished preaching, a monk came to the stage, and said to everyone: "The poor monk Miyin Temple is in charge of kitchen related matters, and now there are more than 1,000 believers who come to my temple to participate in meditation, and the temple has decided to take out a part of the public money to help the believers open up wasteland and build houses and towns." ”

The audience applauded, thanking the Miyin Temple for its kindness, and someone whispered that this was the eight-fingered Zen master Hui Lone, Yun Xuansu stared at it carefully, and sure enough, he saw that this person only had eight fingers.

On the stage, Hui Lin said: "It is the last day of the puja sermon, thank you for coming to celebrate the reconstruction of this temple. In addition, there is one thing to announce, Lingyou teacher tomorrow to accept Pei Shilang's son Pei Yu as an apprentice, Pei Yu is a Jinshi born, now edited by Hanlin, on behalf of the current prince monk in the temple, this is really a special honor that has not been seen in the dynasty for hundreds of years, please enter the temple to watch the ceremony! ”

Lingyou and Hui Lin got off the pulpit, greeted Pei Zhi, Wang Jufang and others in the audience, and then joined the monks from all over the world to enter the Miyin Temple together.

There were many white-clothed monks to maintain order, and those believers who participated in the meditation were in groups of dozens of people, and after a while, a few elders were selected to enter the temple, and the others sat on the ground and waited outside the temple, and everything seemed to be in order.

Although Yun Xuansu is dressed in a vulgar manner, he still stands out in the crowd.

The monk who received them yesterday ran over, and the monk was already sweating profusely, panting and saying, "A few Tan Yue, please come with me." ”

After Lingyou, Pei Shi and the others entered, the middle gate slowly closed, and the elders selected from the other monks and believers all entered through the corner doors on both sides.

Yun Xuansu and his entourage also followed the monk from the corner gate into the Zen courtyard and came to the periphery of the Dharma Hall, which was already crowded with people.

At this time, it is almost dusk, and the monks of the monastery have two meals a day, and this meal in the evening is the whole monastery monks and the believers outside to fast, and the scale is very large.

Soon the bell rang, and the sound shook the mountains.

The aroma of vegetarian food emanated from the pot of thousands of monks, and everyone stepped forward in turn with their own dishes and chopsticks......

Wang Dudu looked at the pitiful gruel in his bowl, sighed and said, "It's so bitter to be a monk!" No wonder they are all lean and lean. ”

Due to the large number of people, the last group of people did not finish their meal until the time of the lamp.

The moon rises in the sky, the stars shine brightly, and the night breeze blows.

The lights in the temple went out one after another, and the mountains fell into darkness.

Guo Hong waited on the couch for a while, and when he heard that Wang Hu and several other servants next to him were asleep, he tiptoed to bed.

He sneaked out like a civet cat, walked through the shadows, and soon came to the temple where the two imperial treasures were enshrined.

This hall is actually no different from other houses, and at this time incense and candles are lit and monks are on duty.

"One, two, three, four...... XV, XVI. ”

Guo Hong patiently squatted in the grass, secretly counting the number of monks.

In addition to the three monks in the temple, there were four people in each of the four directions outside.

There are no masters like Hui Lin and Hong Su among these people, just warrior monks in ordinary nursing homes.

Guo Hong felt that things should not be so simple, and remembering the gaze that was like a man's back during the day, he had a guess in his heart.

I'm afraid that what is enshrined in the Buddha hall today is not a real imperial treasure!

He continued to sneak until he came to the retreat of the Lord Lingyou, crept close to the window, and put his ear to the wall to listen for a while.

With the help of his ear, he heard a slight breathing sound inside.

Guo Hong was familiar with this kind of sound, because it was like this when his master was asleep.

He slowly leaned against the window, gently hooked it with his fingers, and after a while he rolled up a crack in the wooden window, and then slowly propped it up.

He deliberately chose a window with his back to the moonlight, so that the light in the room would not change significantly.

Every action was made quietly, because he knew that the old man inside was the top master in the world.

The forehead was slightly sweaty but did not dare to wipe it, and pushed it up little by little, and finally let the wooden window open to the extent that it could enter.

Guo Hong leaned in sideways, narrowed his eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room, and then stepped in silently.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, it was "Shunmu"!

There was a man lying on the bed, sleeping with his back to the person and facing in, listening to his breathing very calmly, and he should not be disturbed.

The interior furnishings are simple, only a table, a few chairs, and a curtain, which is usually used by people to block the toilet.

There was a closet next to the bed, and a large wooden box.

There were pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and a few books on the table.

It's like the abode of a poor scholar.

Guo Hong couldn't remember much at a glance, and after a while, his eyes lit up again.

This time it was very purposeful, it was clear at a glance on the table, it was impossible to hide things, he mainly looked at cabinets and chests.

The box is locked, and the wardrobe can be opened.

But Guo Hong didn't go over, he knew that Lingyou was old and slept very lightly, even if he didn't move, he might wake up because of the breath sense, so the available time was actually very short, and there was no chance of trial and error.

If you can't succeed this time, the other party is vigilant, and it is even more impossible below.

He put himself into the other party and thought about it for a while, and he probably wouldn't hide the bowl and jade pendant in the box or closet.

The safest place is where you can reach it!

Guo Hong held his breath and tiptoed to the couch, he didn't dare to use Shun Mu anymore, he hid sideways beside the curtain, and identified things in the darkness by the only faint light in the room.

Because it was too dark, he could only guess half-really, Lingyou was lying with his back outward like a bow, and there was a stone pillow under his neck.

He didn't take off his coat, he seemed to be holding something, and looking at the shape, it was supposed to be the bowl.

There was something on the outside of the pillow, with a slight reflection that was difficult to detect.

Guo Hong slowly reached out and touched the thing, and his hand was cold, and he immediately determined that it was the jade pendant he was looking for!

His heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and he grabbed the jade pendant between his fingers and gently retracted it.

Then quietly retreated, and returned the way he came.

Leaving the house for a few tens of meters, Guo Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the treasures he had received by the moonlight.

This jade pendant is too similar to the one lost in the ancient temple, it is simply carved out of a mold.

He flipped through it a few times, but his brow furrowed.

There must be something wrong, although it was very similar, but he was sure it wasn't his own!

"What doubts does this Tan Yue have? Maybe the old man can help you with a little bit more? ”

A voice rang out from behind.

Guo Hong didn't look back, and asked lightly, "When did the old monk wake up?" ”

"Lao Wei guessed that Tan Yue would come, how dare he sleep?"

"Then why didn't you just make a move?"

"First, although Tan Yue broke into the house and stole it, he put on a posture of being on guard at any time, Lao Wei didn't have a good chance, and second, I also wanted to see why Tan Yue came."

Guo Hong sneered: "Now you understand? ”

The figure of the old monk Lingyou was imprinted on the ground, and he could see it clearly when he looked down.

I only heard Lingyou reply: "Actually, it's more confused, if it's for money, Xuanzang Patriarch's bowl is more valuable than an antique, and this jade pendant is not a rare thing, every prince has a piece after birth, I wonder if Tan Yue can solve the old man's doubts?" ”

"I used to have a piece that looked like this one, so I took it and found out that it wasn't my own. I don't know if this statement is credible? ”

Lingyou said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be a child of the royal family, like Tan Yue, who is in his forties and lives in the rivers and lakes, which king of Emperor Xianzong is it?" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the prince was generally referred to as the Great King.

Guo Hong shook his head and said: "The old monk doesn't have to take my words, in fact, I don't understand what is going on, who is the owner of this jade pendant, can I see it?" ”

"This time, the great prince of the saint, King Yun Li Wen, had a strange illness, and Pei Jushi (Pei Xiu) asked for a holy decree to let his third son come to the temple for King Yun to become a monk and pray for the prince. Peiyu is usually engraved with the owner's name, presumably the same is true of Tanyue, your name is different, the lettering on it will be different. ”

Guo Hong nodded, took the jade pendant into his arms, and said, "I was too young at that time to remember it very well, and this jade pendant should be taken back and studied carefully." ”

Lingyou said: "Tan Yue is over, since it's not yours, why bother with this?" Besides, this represents Pei Sanlang's identity as a monk for the prince, and it is useless for you to take it, but it is difficult for the old man to explain when he accepts the apprentices tomorrow. ”

Guo Hong turned around and said with a smile: "But you Weishan owes me justice, and you have to get it back today, otherwise after the old monk dies, it will definitely be on your disciple." ”

Under the moonlight, Lingyou clasped his palms together and said: "In this case, please Tan Yue take my three palms, if you lose, you will stay in this temple and become a monk. ”

Guo Hong exhaled, put on the posture of "Dayu Divine Fist", and said: "Come on!" ”

Lingyou's eyes showed a solemn look and said, "It's rude!" ”

After saying that, he stepped forward and punched him.

This punch is unremarkable, but it makes people feel like they can't resist it.

Only then did Guo Hong realize what it meant to be coincidental.

He burst into a shout, crossed his arms, and blocked the first move.

The two sides collided violently, Lingyou frowned, took a step to the right, and punched again!

Guo Hong saw that the other party was unmoved, he was able to fight hard with himself, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly hit two punches and one leg to defuse the opponent's offensive.

Lingyou unconsciously came behind Guo Hong at this time, and his arm was like a whip thrown out, and he whipped the back of the opponent's head!

Guo Hong hurriedly changed his body, took a step forward and turned back, and was beaten back a few feet before stabilizing his momentum.

This is actually the first trick combined.

The master has made a move, and it is a move to end a fight.

Lingyou's transition from the start of the punch to the return strike is a coherent routine.

Guo Hong didn't even feel how the other party walked behind him, it can be said that the old monk's steps have been superb.

Next, the two sides fought back and forth in one place, Lingyou walked at a high pace, and it seemed that he could always find Guo Hong's empty door to avoid the real attack, so that he could only keep parrying, and there was no chance to fight back!

The three moves passed in a blink of an eye, and Lingyou walked to the side as if he was strolling leisurely and collected his fist.

Guo Hong said: "The old monk is really powerful, admire and admire!" ”

"Tan Yue is also a good skill, the old man can't keep you, please take care of yourself."

Guo Hong arched his hand and said, "Thank you, but I don't know what kind of kung fu the monk used just now?" ”

"What the old man is using is the self-realized fist method 'Secret Seal Fist'!"

Guo Hong didn't say much and left quickly, and disappeared behind the woods in a blink of an eye.

Hong Yu appeared and saluted Lingyou Heste, "Master, why did you let him go?" ”

Lingyou rolled up his sleeves and smiled bitterly: "This man's arms are as hard as iron, and my old bones can't bear it." Don't chase after you, for if you catch up, you're asking for trouble. ”

"Does Master know who he is?"

"If you guess correctly, it should be Liu Yuanjing's little disciple Guo Shangzao."

Hong Su suddenly lost his voice and said, "It's him?!" He's already so powerful?! Can...... But he took away the jade pendant, how can Pei Saburo explain it tomorrow? ”

"Confess what? He took away the jade pendant, and he also took away a piece of cause and effect. The cause and effect of you, my master and apprentice and this little Tanyue is over, and the cause and effect of Pei Saburo and him has just begun. ”
