"Secret Seal Fist!"

Guo Hong is also checking his injuries.

This kind of boxing method is really wonderful, and the secret seal comes from the phrase "secret heart seal" in Buddhism.

Buddhism Zen Dharma Moses came to preach directly to the hearts of the people, is the "heart seal", also known as "outside the teaching", so it is called "secret".

In fact, there is also a saying about tantra, which comes from tantra.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have their own vows, with two hands and ten fingers to knot all kinds of appearances, is for the impression of the seal, so the cloud "seal", its reason is profound and secret, so the cloud "secret".

Tantra practices the Tantric Seal Method, using the body, mouth, and mind to "correspond to the three secrets", sealing the hands with the seals, contemplating the mind, and holding mantras with the mouth, in order to seek the Buddha's fruits.

"The Great Nikkei: Secret Seal": "If you stop moving, you should know that all are secret seals; The tongue turns many words, and you should know that they are all truths. ”

The Secret Seal Temple was originally a Pure Land Temple, which was destroyed when the Martial Sect destroyed the Buddha, and its name comes from the Nine Pinyin Seal of the Pure Land Sect.

The nine-grade seal is the nine kinds of seals from the upper grade to the lower grade.

This is according to the statement of the nine qualities of rebirth in the Sutra of Amitayus, according to the sinful karma and practice of the Buddha.

There are nine grades of rebirth in the past life, and there are nine grades of pure land and nine grades of Buddha in the world of bliss, so Amitabha Buddha also has the difference of nine grades of Buddha, and the specific manifestation is the nine grades of the seal of the past life.

Because Lingyou lived here, Pei Xiu funded the rebuilding of the temple and asked the emperor to give the plaque of "Miyin Zen Temple", and the temple was officially converted into a Zen dojo.

Guo Hong can be regarded as seeing Lingyou's famous martial arts "Heart Seal" today, which is a strange step that can unconsciously make people ignore its position and put it in a favorable attack position.

He actually didn't completely block those three moves just now, and still got two punches, but because of his quick reaction, he used his arms to bear most of the force.

Even so, there was a dull pain on the upper edge of the two ribs, and it was also bruised and red.

This old monk is in his seventies and still has such a strong strength, which really surprised Guo Hong.

However, the other party should not be comfortable, after all, after his immortal king master has become a black and white arm, he has never been afraid of anyone!

Through this fight, he confirmed his strength.

If it was an old man like Lingyou and Xiyun who had passed seventy, although he couldn't win, he could get out.

But the other five of the seven peers in the world are all under the age of sixty, and they are definitely not opponents, and it is good to be able to hold up ten moves, but if they fight to the death, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand three moves.

Because life-and-death combat is different from ordinary martial arts competitions, often exchanging injuries for injuries and only seeking to kill the enemy, it will greatly shorten the combat process!

Guo Hong observed for a while and found that there was no warning signal in the temple, and it seemed that the old monk wanted to suppress the matter.

He turned around a few times before returning to the small courtyard and entering the house to rest.

The next day, everything was as usual in the temple.

Yun Xuansu and the others came to the Buddha Hall to visit the imperial treasure, and saw a group of people rushing towards them, and hurriedly dodged away.

The cat stayed on the wall, and when he saw his master leaving, he paced with his tail up and followed.

These people on the opposite side were led by Pei Zhi, the Hunan observation envoy, who suddenly stopped and looked at the two departing figures suspiciously.

"Observe what's going on, could it be the woman you have a crush on?" Wang Jufang made a shrill voice unique to eunuchs on the side.

Pei Zhi snorted slightly, and said: "It's just that looking at the back, it's a little familiar, it seems that I've seen it somewhere, by the way, that cat!" ”

"How?"

"This cat was a tribute to the great maritime merchants, and it was very famous in Chang'an, and it was later rewarded by the first emperor......" he said here but did not continue.

Wang Jufang immediately remembered that Pei Zhiben was a household servant and a bachelor of Hanlin, and he had only been in office in Hunan for half a year, and most of the people he looked familiar with were the daughters of high-ranking officials in Chang'an.

This Persian cat was very eye-catching, and I didn't expect it to be a gift.

Wang Jufang tried hard to recall the past events in the palace, and had a little guess for a while.

He glanced at the person beside him, and that person was the righteous son Wang Zitai, who followed him knowingly at this time.

Shi Zaishun, who followed behind, also sent a sergeant to follow quietly.

Pei Zhi and Pei Xiu are both from the Pei family of Dongqing, the two are distant cousins, Pei Zhi came to Hunan to replace Li Hui, Pei Xiu wrote a letter to let Shi Zaishun work, so now Shi Zaishun has become Pei Shi's confidant again.

Wang Zitai followed for a while, and happened to meet a monk, so he stopped and asked, "Do you know where the two women in front of you come from?" ”

"I heard that it is the family of the king of Jinzhou, Hedong, and the name written on the donation list is the Yun family."

Soon the news reached the ears of Pei Shi and Wang Jufang.

"It's her!" Pei Zhi nodded, he remembered that this Yun Xuansu was an elder of the Wangwu Sect, a famous refiner in the north, and he would come to Weishan in disguise.

Pei Zhi is also a believer in Buddhism, so after thinking about it slightly, he decided to tell Lingyou about it.

"Sure enough, it's her!" Wang Jufang was overjoyed in his heart, this was a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and all the eunuchs surnamed Wang in the palace claimed to be the queen of the Taiyuan Wang family.

This is the trend in the palace, just like the flying dragon envoy Yang Qinyi claims to be Hongnong Yang, and the former privy envoy Liu Xingshen is said to be Pengcheng Liu, and these rootless eunuchs will recognize famous families as ancestors as long as possible.

Of course, some of the ancestors are indeed sent into the palace by these famous families.

This Wang Jufang supervisor is a native of Wuyang, Xuzhou, his adoptive father is the privy envoy Wang Yuanyou (you), and the first generation of eunuchs Wang Yanqing is really after the Taiyuan royal family.

Wang Shi is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he is much more genuine than Wang Zai, who is made by Hedong Jiedu, so it is naturally worth befriending.

The other party is a female dependent, but Wang Jufang is a eunuch and does not need to avoid the difference between men and women, so he instructed Wang Zitai: "You quickly go up for me to worship and stick, and Wang will go to see you after the meeting." ”

The ceremony of receiving disciples is about to begin, and this is the final part of this puja.

Yun Xuansu and Wang Du were all led behind Pei Shi and other dignitaries, and only futons were arranged for them, and the other servants sat directly on the grass like those believers.

Everywhere there were believers, all kneeling quietly and praying.

Guo Hong is also from the people, watching Hui Lian's familiar opponents busy.

In fact, he no longer has any hatred for the person who robbed and killed him in the first place.

Wang Dudu quietly took his master's hand and asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't this Pei Lang be a good official and want to be a monk?" ”

Yun Xuansu couldn't stand this little apprentice a little, and said: "If you have anything to say back to the room, from now on, close your mouth, say one more word, and go back and copy the scriptures!" ”

Wang Dudu gently lifted his veil and stuck out his tongue, making a grimace at his master.

Lingyou had already entered the Dharma Hall at this time, sat down in the middle, and said to Hong Yu, who was standing beside him, "You go and attract Pei Sanlang." ”

"Yes, Master." Hong Su bowed and retired.

Senior monks from all over the country sat on the left and right in turn, and behind them were dozens of chanting disciples, and the Sanskrit sounds in the Dharma hall were endless.

This is the ceremony of accepting disciples in Buddhism, so Pei Zhi, Wang Jufang and other officials sit on the futon in the first row in front of the steps outside the hall.

The houses in the temple are very simple, like the houses in ordinary villages.

The Zen people around were silent, and at this time there was a sound of broken footsteps in the distance, from far to near, Yun Xuansu raised his eyes, and saw the monk who had just left walking slowly with a man in white.

This man is in his twenties, with thin cheeks, upright facial features, eyes like electricity, eyebrows and eyes that are eight points similar to Pei Xiu, with a faint mustache, scattered black hair, white clothes fluttering, and a somewhat chic walking posture.

This person is Pei Xiu's third son, Pei Yu (bi, through "弼").

He walked up to Pei Shi and saluted: "Uncle Cousin, today my little nephew is a monk, and he should be a great sect, promote Buddhism, and purify all sentient beings." ”

Pei Zhi nodded.

Pei Yu walked in front of his mother Chen, who came from Chang'an, kowtowed three times, and said: "Mother, the child is not filial, and the parents are gracious, so they can only repay it in the next life!" ”

Chen wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "San Lang, and practice here with peace of mind, and the Nianghui will often come to visit." ”

Pei Yu looked at the two brothers Pei Hong and Pei Tao on the side, and kowtowed: "Eldest brother, second brother, please do your filial piety in front of the younger brother in the future." ”

Pei Hong and Pei Tao helped their younger brother up, the three of them said a few more words, Pei Yu turned to Pei Che and said: "The eldest brother and the second brother have studied hard for many years and have not been in the Jinshi, and the cousin has always been smart, and my Pei family's generation will look at you." ”

Pei Che blinked his eyes and said, "Third brother, don't worry, I will help the filial second uncle." ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty called their father brother, so there would be no words like the eldest brother and the second brother.

Wang Du saw Pei Che, and his eyes flashed with little stars, this little brother is so beautiful, like a girl, I really want to go over and touch it.

She snorted softly, and suddenly remembered that she had to copy the scriptures for one more word, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Yun Xuansu glanced at the female apprentice and knew that she was a nymphomaniac again, but this child of the Pei family was really good-looking.

Pei Yu walked to a few old friends who came to watch the ceremony, the leader of which was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old scholar, who called Pei Yu's words in his mouth, and looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Wende, you!" ”

"Brother Fuyu, everyone has their own ambitions, I wish my brother a successful career and high school next year!"

At this time, it was already May, and the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was set in the first month of each year, called Chunqiu.

Pei's friend is named Liu Yu, the word is foolish, is a famous scholar in Tanzhou, self-named Wenquanzi, the article is strange and strange, often unexpected, he really responded to Pei Wende's words today, in the next year (four years of high school) in the Jinshi, because he is the first Zhongjin Shi in Hunan Province, known as "unprecedented" by the people of the time (Liu Yuan's people before the Jinshi are not originally from this area, they all belong to the northern immigrants, which is also the origin of the word groundbreaking).

Liu Yu's home is in the city of Tanzhou, and he has been a classmate with Pei Wende for two years.

Liu Yu's home in Tanzhou is called the Garden in later generations, and it is the place where Chen Yinke, a historian of the Republic of China, was born......

Pei Yu followed his father Huichang to Tanzhou for three years, and made many literati here, and then after talking one by one, he followed Hong Yu into the Dharma Hall, and came to Lingyou to bow and kneel.

Lingyou asked Pei Yudao, "Do you still have doubts?" ”

Pei Yu groaned for a moment and asked Lingyou: "What is the Tao?" ”

"Heartlessness is the way."

Pei Yu shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" ”

Lingyou touched his white beard and said, "If you want to understand, it's better to ask the one who doesn't understand." ”

Pei Yu looked confused and said, "Who is the one who doesn't understand?" ”

Lingyou laughed and said, "It's none other than yourself." He then said, "Your mind is your Buddha." If you seek a half-understanding from the outside, it is regarded as Zen path, but it has nothing to do with it. And it pollutes your heart, so to say that to seek the way from the outside is the opposite way. ”

Pei Yu muttered to himself: "Don't ask for anything else, idealism is the way?" ”

Lingyou said with a smile: "The son can be taught, I will shave my head today and pass on your mantle!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took the scissors from his disciple's hand, and cut off Pei Yu's black hair, and a monk who shaved his head next to him came over and shaved the rest of his short hair.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, monks did not burn ring scars.

Hui Lin picked up a set of monk's robes and a bowl, Lingyou took it, and solemnly handed it to Pei Yu.

At that time, the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, passed on the mantle and magic weapon to Master Shenguang, and gave him the Dharma name "Hui Ke", and Hui Ke became the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism.

The first ancestor of Zen Buddhism taught the Tao between the five ancestors and apprentices, and used the mantle as a token, which is the origin of "passing on the mantle and bowl".

Pei Yu is not only shaving today, but also worshipping Lingyou as a teacher, you can get the mantle, if the general monks do not get the approval of Lingyou, even if they shave the mantle.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Pei Yu becoming a monk instead of the prince, and if you count it like this, Lingyou is also the prince's master.

The old monk Lingyou sat back and said to Pei Yu, who was kneeling in front of him holding a mantle: "You have been ordained, and you will be given a Dharma name for your teacher." ”

Pei Yu said: "Master, please give a name!" ”

"It's called Fahai!"

Guo Hong listened below, and was stunned for a while, could it be the Fahai of Jinshan Temple? Where is Bai Suzhen?

Pei Yu, now renamed Monk Fahai, said with five bodies: "Master Xie! ”

At this time, the monk on duty brought over two sandalwood boxes, which were the pair of boxes enshrined in the Buddhist hall containing the imperial treasure.

Hui Lin and Hong Yu took it separately, and then walked to both sides of Lingyou.

Lingyou said: "Today, I will give you the treasure of the imperial gift, one is the bowl used by Master Xuanzang to go west, and one thing is the jade pendant of King Yun who you receive." You've put it away. ”

Fahai handed the mantle in his hand to a monk on duty, and then took the sandalwood box one by one and put it on the ground in front of him, he still knelt, opened a box, saw the bowl inside, and folded his hands in worship.

Then he closed the lid and opened another box, his eyes shrinking slightly.

Lingyou said: "This jade pendant has its own cause and effect, it is the cause and effect of you and King Yun, and it is also the cause and effect of another person, do you understand?" ”

Fahai was stunned for a moment, then put the jade pendant into his sleeve and said, "Apprentice understands." ”

He came from a famous family and did Hanlin, and on the way from Chang'an, he had carefully seen King Yun's jade pendant, so he naturally would not admit his mistake, and he received it in his sleeve to be sure that it was a fake.

However, Fahai didn't say anything, he knew that there must be a reason for the master to do this, and he would know when he went back and waited for the ceremony to end.

The Weishan puja officially ended here, and Yun Xuansu sat in place without moving, thoughtful.

Zen is very popular among scholars, and she listened to Lingyou's lecture today, and she also felt that there was some truth, and there was indeed something attractive about it.

Those Buddhist masters who came to watch the ceremony led their disciples to say goodbye and leave, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Lingyou was busy giving people away, and he didn't have time to get out for the time being.

Wang Du shook his master's hand beside him, and Yun Xuansu came back to his senses from his reverie and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The female disciple pointed to her mouth pitifully, Yun Xuansu smiled and said, "You can speak!" ”

"Master, someone came to us, saying that they were old members of the Taiyuan Wang family and wanted to meet in the guest room."

"It's a lieutenant, right?"

"What lieutenant? Ah, it's a eunuch. Wang Du thought for a moment, and replied uncertainly: "That person is only a teenager, and his voice is very thin, I can't see it......" She scratched her hair in annoyance.

"Let's go, let's see." Yun Xuansu got up and left with the servants.

Wang Zitai waited on the road early, and when he saw a few people, he led them to a courtyard.

Wang Jufang actually greeted the door, bowed down and said, "Jufang has seen Yun Niangzi. ”

He didn't know that his old opponent Guo Hong was among Yun Xuansu's followers, standing only a dozen steps away from him at the moment.

Yun Xuansu said Wanfu saluted: "It turned out to be Wang Jianjun." ”

Wang Jufang smiled and let her inside: "Hahahaha, I see outside, when I was in Chang'an, I recognized the same clan with Brother Xiao Nian and Brother Da Nian, and they were all a family......

The character of Wang Shi is Xiao Nian, and the character of his eldest brother Wang Gui is Da Nian, both of whom are nearly forty years old, a little older than Wang Jufang.

Yun Xuansu followed in, and the two sides sat down as guests and hosts.

Wang Jufang asked for tea, and then asked: "I don't know what Yun Niangzi is doing when she comes to Tanzhou this time?" ”

Yun Xuansu lowered his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Uncle must have forgotten that the slave family is a Taoist priest of Wangwu Mountain, and he also exorcised evil spirits for Mrs. Zun back then. This time I went out to visit Hengshan. ”

Wang Jufang patted his head and said: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot the things of the year, Neizi is now in Hengzhou, and when I return, the refiner must come to the house, so that my wife can enjoy the friendship of the landlord!" ”

The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty would marry wives and adopt a bunch of adopted sons.

The most powerful eunuch today is Ma Yuanzhen, who was the lieutenant of the left army of the Shence Army, and was deeply favored by the emperor for welcoming the emperor.

Wang Jufang's wife was Ma Yuanzhen's adopted daughter, and his second aunt married Ma Yuanzhen's second son, Ma Gongdu.

Of course, this second aunt is also Wang Yuanyou's godsister, and she is only a patriarchal relative to Wang Jufang, and has no blood relationship.

Yun Xuansu's master, Xie Wangji, died three years ago, and she returned to Chang'an to find her husband, Wang Wangshi, and met Wang Jufang, who was preparing to leave to take up the post of military envoy in Hunan, and exorcised evil spirits for his sick wife, Ma.

After Ma Shi arrived in the south, his body recovered, and he was convinced of Yun Xuansu's Taoism, so he always believed in Taoism and refused to come to Weishan Zen Monastery with Wang Jufang to participate in the monk's puja.

Yun Xuansu saw that Wang Jufang sincerely invited him, so he agreed, and then asked casually: "The slave family heard on the road that my uncle was going to select the Shence Army?" ”

"Yes, it does."

Yun Xuansu glanced at Wang Jufang and found that he didn't mean to continue, so he asked:

"I heard that these Shence troops were selected to attack Hengshan? Is there a mess over there in Hengshan? Or are there thieves? I'm afraid it's inconvenient to play in this chaos......"
