In August of the fourth year of Suzong, Danba Association Gantang traveled all the way to the west, so the horse walked fast for a few days to a temple to change the carriage, accompanied by a few more warrior monks with red hats, Gantang saw all the way, what he saw was no longer the emerald green peaks, but the bare earth mountains, the ravines were vertical and horizontal. Traveled west for a few days, in front of a big green lake, hundreds of birds soared on the lake, the land around the lake was flat, the green grass was green, there were many black yaks and white sheep, Gan Tang felt that this scenery was a little familiar, thought about it and suddenly realized, this is the Qinghai Lake that I saw in the dream, bypassed a big lake, knew that I had passed Qinghai, all the way to Tibet.

After walking for more than ten days, he came to a huge temple built on the mountainside, and Gan Tang saw that this huge temple, although it was different from the building in the dreamland, he could guess that he should be taken to the Potala Palace. The Potala Palace was originally built by the Tang Dynasty during the Tibetan Dynasty Zanpu Songtsen Gampo to marry Princess Qizun and Princess Wencheng. It is the winter palace of the regent of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism (Yellow Sect) and the holy place of Tibetan Buddhism.

Danba led Yue Kun to the temple gate, Danba made his intentions clear to a knowledgeable guest, and the acquaintance hated and said: "Please follow me to the Muni Hall to meet all the living Buddhas." Danba said: "It is a great sin to disturb the cultivation of all living Buddhas. ”

Two novices led the way to the side of a long corridor. The two little novices stood on both sides, stopped, and the three of them went up along the corridor and came to a large hall, where the acquaintance folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, Senior Brother Danba has brought a small benefactor, and I have something important to ask to see the living Buddhas and disturb the homework of several living Buddhas." One of the people in the temple said, "Come in and speak." The acquaintance slowly pushed the door open. The huge gate creaked, and it was clear that very few people were usually activated. Gan Tang followed the Danba step in, there are three elderly lamas in the room sitting on three futons, the lama in the middle is the Tibetan Buddhism teaching Baoren Living Buddha, the tall and burly on the left is his junior brother Baozhe Living Buddha, and the right is Baoyin Living Buddha.

Danba bowed down, briefly explained the origin of Gantang, and finally said: "Since my Tubo State was destroyed by the Yan State, the Mongols have supported the Sakya faction and established the Sakya faction to establish a pro-Yan regime. The brutal suppression of our Yellow Sect, Red Sect, and White Sect has lost the original intention of the Buddha's preaching, and there are many enslavements to the herdsmen in our Tibetan areas. Now that Xiao Hate has brought it, please ask a few living Buddhas to see if it can break through the heavens and restore the homeland to help? ”

Baoren Living Buddha beckoned to Gan Tang, Gan Tang calmly walked forward, Baoren nodded with a smile on his face, looked carefully, Gan Tang's facial features and the birthmark on the center of his eyebrows, and said, "What do the two junior brothers think?" Baoyin said: "Although the face is strange, I am a person in the Buddhist's sect." Bao Ren said: "There is justice in the face, but it also contains killing. The deity can't see through either. The only person who sees through is Zhang Zhenren who is most afraid in the world. ”

In a common room of the Yuelai Inn, a tall white-bearded monk walked into the room, saw the person who was waiting for him in the room, and bowed.

On the other side of the field of vision, there is an old man who is still wearing a mink fur on a hot day, and his hair is yellow. At this time, he stood up from the darkness over there, "Senior Brother Jueshan, why did you come in person?" ”

The person who spoke was Gan Xiangsheng's personal guard Huangfu Lihai, who was shocked by the Yan State National Teacher Kanpu when he broke through the siege in Jinzhou, and the meridians around the Shaoyang acupoint were broken, and the blood was not smooth, and he was suffering from the external cold all the time.

Jueshan said: "If I don't come in person, who can talk on my behalf." Bro! Since you received it on my behalf, you were expelled from the door wall by the master. I've been following you all the time for forty years. A few years ago, Lao Wei got the news that Gan Xiangsheng Gan Dashuai was martyred in Jinzhou, I even thought that you went with Gan Dashuai, but I didn't expect that you could survive, this time you finally have something to ask for Shaolin, give me a chance to repay debts like you, and you think that Baozhe Living Buddha will give other people face. ”

Huangfu Lihai frowned and said: "The matter of the year is not as simple as you imagined, although the senior brother has some relationship with the Buddha, I think it is impossible for the living Buddha to let go of the little marquis in a few words." ”

"I think so, but you're here anyway, aren't you?"

"Most of the people here at the moment are not our people, these rivers and lakes are mixed, there must be a lot of people here to help, but there must be people on the other side, the longer things drag on, the more troublesome it becomes."

"What's going on now?"

"It's troublesome, I heard that there are powerful people from the north."

"Well, you're right, then I'll talk to the Living Buddha of Baozhe tonight, and try not to do it if I can."

When the child was born, "Woo -----" There was a loud shout outside the door of the Potala Palace, and everyone's ears in the temple were buzzing. Danba knew that this was a first-class kung fu in Buddhism, and he didn't know how much higher than his own skills, and he could hear the deep internal strength of people when he stopped drinking.

Bao Zhe let out a long roar and shouted: "That party is hated to come to my Yellow Sect as a guest, Bao Zhe has lost his welcome, Amitabha, sins and sins." ”

Come to the humanitarian: "The head of Shaolin Temple, Jueshan, asks to see the three living Buddhas, but I don't know if the living Buddhas are willing to meet old friends." ”

After a long while, I only heard Bao Zhe say: "The master has arrived, please enter the hall." ”

Master Jueshan said: "Offended! He stepped into the main hall, saluted the living Buddha of Baozhe, and said: "The younger generation of Shaolin Temple is good, see the three senior masters." There is impermanence, Bodhi banyan elephant, north and south, east and west, the mirror glow! ”

Bao Zhe Living Buddha was shocked: "The head of Shaolin Temple is erudite and profound, and he really lives up to his name. ”

Shakyamuni was destroyed in the city of Bharata in that year, east and west, north and south, each has two trees, each with two trees on each side is a withered and one glory, called "four withered and four glorious", according to the Buddhist scriptures: the eastern double tree is "long and imconstant", the southern double tree is "happy and unhappy", the western double tree is "self and no self", and the northern double tree is "pure and impure". If the Buddha enters and dies in the eight realms, it means that it is neither dry nor glorious, neither false nor empty.

Bao Zhe Living Buddha is to practice the Eight Realms of Zen Gong, the Eight Realms of Zen Gong is divided into eight layers, and now Bao Zhe only cultivates to the "Bodhi Banyan Elephant, Mirror Xiaguang", that is, the third layer.

He was immediately awe-struck and said, "The master is far away, and the deity has not yet greeted him from afar." Master Mercy. I haven't seen it for 30 years, and my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, but my face is still the same, and I am good! ”

Jueshan saluted with one hand: "Three living Buddhas, penance exercises." I don't know why, the disciples under the command hijacked a little boy thousands of miles here, what does it mean? While talking to the three living Buddhas, Jueshan looked at Gan Tang, who was sitting behind the living Buddha.

It turned out that after Gantang was abducted that day, Gantang's two scholars finished packing up their snacks, only to find that Gantang was gone, how could the good people be gone, the two scholars were panicked, one went to the inner courtyard to find Mr., and the other went to inform the people in the front yard. Shao Huan got the news, was taken aback, hurriedly asked about the situation, came to the backyard, and saw a trace of someone climbing on the courtyard wall, and chased the traces all the way, but it was still a step too late.

Don't take a moment, most of the clan scholars know the news, some people go home to report the news, and the others carefully look for a clear look in the courtyard before and after. Even under the bed in the bedroom in the inner courtyard, there was still no shadow of Gantang.

A quarter of an hour later, the second room of the Gan family, Qimen, Hou Gan arrived on horseback, accompanied by staff and more than a dozen nursing homes.

Gan Jing heard about Gan Tang's disappearance, and was afraid that the enemy would come to seek revenge. No matter what the opponent is, he can't let people take Gan Tang out of Jiankang first, and he can't report to the official for the time being, for fear that the robbers will hurt Gan Tang's life. At this time, Shao Huan's tracking did not turn around, Gan Jing called Shao Huan and asked him to inform Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren, and asked Gan Tang about the details of the loss, and learned that the thief was thrown out of the backyard wall, and hurriedly ordered several guards to go to the various city gates to guard, and then asked everyone in the clan science. Everyone turned their attention to Qian Hanlin, because only the newly found entourage of Qian Hanlin's family has not returned yet.

What else can Gan Jing do, knowing Qian Hanlin's personality, it's just that he doesn't recruit people. Gan Jing saw that the other children were frightened, so he asked them to send them home first. The various guards guarded the gates of the city until dark, but found nothing. Gan Jing sent people to look for him, and on the other hand, he went to the homes of various students and told the parents not to talk casually.

Where is the old lady, Gan Jing had to tell a lie, saying that Yang Lu's mother in Yang Mansion was sick and missed her nephew, so she sent someone to pick her up. Yang Lu couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth, Yang Lu spit blood and fainted. The old lady only became a daughter-in-law because she was worried about her mother's side, and she didn't worry about her grandson going out alone, so she asked Yang to prepare to go back to her parents' house, on the one hand, she waited for her mother and was able to take care of her son.

Yang had to wait for news from his son, where could he go home with peace of mind, day by day, and finally someone left a book for Yang on the fifth day to explain the situation. That's half of my heart.

Shao Huan used the flying pigeon to pass the book to the current head of Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng got the news and tracked all the way to Tongren, Guizhou, after all, it was still a step slower, and the next day in Tongren received a message from the beggars, knowing that Danba went all the way to the west, so he chased all the way to the west.

The main hall of the Potala Palace.

Bao Zhe Living Buddha said: "Thirty years ago, when the army of Yan attacked my Tubo, the master followed Zhang Zhenren and came to help from thousands of miles away, how could we harm the disciples."

It's just that my disciple Danba was originally the prince of Tubo, and after the country was ruined, he entrusted it to this temple. has been seeking to restore the country for decades, but has failed several times, and helping Gan Xiao's benefactor is just trying to grasp a life-saving straw.

Now it has alarmed all parties, and in the past few days, I have captured dozens of friends from the rivers and lakes who have sneaked into the temple, and it is inconvenient to let the master take away the little benefactor at this time. I discussed with a few senior brothers, since everyone is a person from the rivers and lakes, everyone will use the rivers and lakes method to solve it, the master should go back first and wait for the news of the temple? ”

Jue Shan said: "Good, good, that old man will wait for a few days to disturb the cultivation of several living Buddhas, and he will be guilty of sin." ”

As time passed, people who had been quietly lying in the shadows began to poke their heads out of the woods. A restless aura enveloped the temple, which was already under pressure and stuffy. In the inn, beside the road, looking at the higher part of the Potala Palace in the mountains, they are either talking or whispering about the situation in the past few days. Occasionally, the patrol abomination would be stopped and asked how it was doing. The patrolman shouted a few words of reassurance.

These days, the atmosphere in the Potala Palace has gradually become tense, a large number of outsiders have gathered, and this afternoon, with the arrival of Kamp, the situation has become more and more chaotic
