Chapter 14: Telling the Past
Ling Feng heard the little monk Huiming call himself a chivalrous man, and thought to himself: Now it is in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is chaotic, and the traffic is basically on walking, learn some martial arts, and it will be convenient to walk the rivers and lakes in the future. If only I could really be a chivalrous man.
But Ling Feng couldn't bear to lie to Huiming that he was a chivalrous man, so he changed the topic and asked, "Why did you become a monk at such a young age, what about your parents?" ”
A trace of sadness crossed Huiming's face, and he said, "I heard Master say that my brother and I were both killed by adulterers, and both of us were orphans. It was Master who adopted us from childhood. As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Ling Feng hurriedly comforted: "I'm sorry, little master, I didn't mean to. Besides, it's not a big deal, I'm also an orphan. You still have Master and Senior Brother, but I don't have any relatives, alas! Thinking of his life experience, he couldn't help but sigh.
Huiming wiped his tears and nodded, "Yes, Master and Senior Brother are very good to me!" ”
Ling Feng continued to comfort: "That's right, your master also said that everything is predestined, and people should be content and happy. ”
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Amitabha, good, good." Lord Ling Shi is warm, and the old man has thanked the apprentice here. "It turned out that the empty monk was here.
Ling Feng hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, you're here." ”
Huiming saw that the master was coming, so he quickly wiped the tears off his face and said, "Master." ”
Kongchong Huiming nodded, and said kindly: "Huiming, you go out first, I have something to say to Master Ling for the teacher." ”
"Yes, Master."
After Huiming left. Seeing that Ling Feng was still standing there, he said, "Master Ling, please take a seat!" ”
Ling Feng looked at the chair behind him, looked at the emptiness again, and said in his heart: Just such a chair, I sat down, where are you sitting?
As if he had seen through Ling Feng's inner thoughts, he smiled slightly, and said, "The conditions of the small temple in the mountain are a little simpler, and the donor has been wronged. With that, he sat down on the edge of the bed first.
Ling Feng smiled awkwardly and sat down.
He said: "Huiming, this child is still young, if you say something that shouldn't be said, don't mind." ”
Ling Feng hurriedly said, "Little Master Huiming didn't say anything to me, just said that he was an orphan, and you adopted him......"
He waved his hand and said, "I heard it just now. Alas! The temple is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is rare to meet the living. Since Master Ling is destined to be a person, would you like to hear me tell you a story? ”
When Ling Feng heard this, he also wanted to know a little more about the void and this era, so he nodded quickly.
He narrowed his eyes, as if he had recalled it first, and then said slowly: "It was about 20 years ago, when Lao Gao was not yet a monk. My ancestors had been running a ranch business in Shengjing, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, we were also canonized as the Han Army Banner with a blue flag. In my generation, although the power is not as strong as before, it is still barely able to make ends meet. At that time, I had dealings with herders and Mongols in the Hulunbuir and Horqin steppes, and I had a good relationship. ”
However, that year, the Kangxi Emperor and the Mongolian Geldan went to war, and the Kangxi Emperor appointed Prince Yu Fuquan as the general of Fuyuan to lead the army, and the eldest prince Yinchu as the deputy general. At that time, the army drove to Shengjing and was stationed outside the city, so I led my tribesmen and cattle and sheep to the big camp to sacrifice the army. When I first arrived, Prince Yu and the eldest prince personally met me and said a lot of words of encouragement, and I was grateful. But at the banquet, the eldest prince drank too much and fell in love with my fifteen-year-old daughter, so he had to take a concubine on the spot. I am also to blame for this, that day the ghost sent the little girl to go. I didn't agree right away at the time, first, I knew that the Qing military law did not allow me to accept a wife in battle, and second, I knew that once I entered the Houmen, it was as deep as the sea, and I didn't want my little girl to suffer. So he said, let me go back and think about it. When the eldest prince saw that I did not agree on the spot, he scolded me for not knowing how to lift, and then sent a master of the personal guard to beat me up and drive me out of the camp. Pity my little girl, trapped in the camp like this. ”
"The next day, news came from the camp that the little girl had committed suicide because she had been insulted by the eldest prince. When I heard the news, I almost fainted, and I regretted that I shouldn't have taken my little girl to the camp. Just when I was grief-stricken, someone from the camp came, and I thought it was going to give me an explanation. But who knows, after the general who led the troops came to my door, he first ordered our house to be surrounded, and then read out a letter saying that I was a spy sent by Geldan to Mongolia. General Fuyuan had an order, and the whole family was beheaded. With the sound of 'no forgiveness', my home instantly became a hell on earth, and officers and soldiers killed people when they saw them, and robbed things when they saw them...... There are thirty-five members of the family, and except for me, none of them were spared. I escaped through the back door under the desperate protection of a few loyal Guardian Warriors. ”
When Ling Feng heard this, he slapped the table and scolded: "Yinchu, this bastard, is really fucking angry with me." ”
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he realized that he had interrupted the air, and hurriedly said, "Master, you go on, what happened later?" ”
Sora smiled bitterly, and then said: "After escaping, I have no other thoughts, and I only think about revenge. I'm going to kill the eldest prince Yinchu, I'm going to kill Prince Yu Fuquan...... Revenge became the only meaning of my life. But at that time, my martial arts skills were not high, I wanted money but no money, and I wanted no people, so how could I take revenge? Didn't they accuse me of being a Mongol spy? Good! I'm going to be a spy and see what they can do to me. ”
"With this idea in mind, I traveled day and night to the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. On the way, by chance, I met a living Buddha lama of Tantra, who was also my future master, Lobsang Jinpa Living Buddha. The first time I saw the Living Buddha, I felt cordial, so I cried to the Living Buddha about my experience, and after listening to my experience, the Living Buddha sympathized with me and decided to pass on my martial arts. However, the Living Buddha put forward two conditions, the first is that I must study martial arts and practice the Dharma at the same time, and the second is that I must stay with him for five years. I said yes without even thinking about it. So, I followed the Living Buddha to Tibet. ”
"I was in my 30s at the time, and I had learned some martial arts before that, but mostly to keep fit. I would never have had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the upper level of martial arts, but the Living Buddha Luosang Jinpa used the supreme mystical skill to open up the meridians in my body, changed the meridians for me, and passed on my tantric mastery. While teaching me martial arts, my teacher also attached more importance to my study of Buddhism. However, I was anxious for revenge, and I always practiced martial arts diligently and neglected to study the Dharma. Amitabha, now that I think about it, I was very wrong. ”
