Chapter 60: The Four Ancestors of Zen Buddhism
Liu Ziqiu exclaimed: "Shaomu Mountain! Shaolin Temple! Master Tanzong? ”
Wei Chigong was surprised: "What? Second brother, do you know Master Tanzong? ”
The story of the thirteen stick monks saving the king of Qin has spread widely, Tan Zong is the head of the thirteen stick monks, how can Liu Ziqiu not know? It's just that it should be ten years later, and if you say it now, it's a bit shocking.
Liu Ziqiu coughed dryly twice, shook his head and said, "That's not it." I heard that the monks of Shaolin Temple are all strong in martial arts, and this Tanzong master can make a fifty-six pound water grinding Zen stick, presumably the kung fu must be good. ”
Wei Chigong laughed and said: "There are indeed a lot of monks in this temple who practice martial arts, but it would be an exaggeration to say that all of them are strong in martial arts." I am originally a native of Shanyang County, Mayi County, and I have come here with admiration, and I have seen a lot of monks' kung fu. ”
"Hearing what the eldest brother said, the younger brother also wants to see this Tanzong master. Isn't the eldest brother going to send a Zen stick? It's better to go. Although Liu Ziqiu said this, there was a burst of slander in his heart, you yourself are one of the top eighteen heroes in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, how many people can be looked at by you?
Yu Chigong's temperament was like fire, and he immediately said: "Okay, you wait, I'll go and get the Zen staff and come." ”
Hua Yun jumped and said: "I'll go too, I'll go too." ”
Gui Hai begged them but hesitated, and said: "Brother, we are soldiers, and we will inevitably have some blood on our hands, but we don't dare to believe in Buddhism." ”
"Don't worry, Liu won't believe in Buddhism." Liu Ziqiu said, took out a silver ingot from his arms, about ten taels in weight, and stuffed it into Gui Haiqiu's hand, "The brothers have also been miserable these days. Brother Gui, you take everyone to the town and go around casually, find a tavern to treat everyone. Two hours later, it will be gathered here. ”
"No, no, no, how can I ask for your money." Gui Haiqiu excused himself, but he had already taken it and arched his hand, "Then thank you, brothers, go!" ”
At this time, Yu Chigong had already walked out of the shop, carrying a snowy Zen staff on his shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother, go, go up the mountain!" ”
Songshan Mountain is Taimur Mountain in the east, Shaomur Mountain in the west, each with 36 peaks. The Shaolin Temple was built in the dense forest at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain, hence the name. Liu Ziqiu and Hua Yun followed Yu Chigong through the forest path, there were no bustling tourists, and there were no hawkers shouting and shouting.
The three of them walked up the stairs, and suddenly saw two monks turning out of the mountain gate, and said, "Master Wei Chi, which master is this weapon sent for which master?" ”
"Master Tanzong can be in the temple?" Wei Chigong has lived in the town for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the temple, and he recognizes these two as the guest monks in the temple, so he returned the salute and asked, "The two masters, the sun is booming, how can there be guests, why are you still here?" ”
One person said with a smile: "Recently, there are senior monks and apprentices who have borrowed the temple to live, and this morning suddenly said that there should be a distinguished guest visiting at noon, and ordered the two of us to wait here." ”
The other craned his neck and glanced behind them. The forest path was empty, and there was no longer a single figure, and he suddenly said impatiently: "Tanzong is in Tallinn behind the temple, you can go quickly, don't block the way of the distinguished guests." ”
Hua Yun has a bad temper, and she clenched her fists and was about to have a seizure. Wei Chigong knew that these monks were the most snobbish, so he hurriedly grabbed him, and was waiting to be persuaded when he saw a little monk coming out of the temple.
The little monk was only six or seven years old, and he didn't see how he ran, but he came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he approached and said to the two monks: "Two senior brothers, Master asked me to come and ask, the distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you let him in?" ”
The two Zhike monks looked at each other and said in unison: "The two of us have been waiting here for a long time, except for this Wei Chi benefactor, I have never seen any distinguished guests coming. ”
The little monk's gaze swept over Liu Ziqiu's face, and he suddenly asked, "Which one is the master of Wei Chi?" ”
Wei Chigong was overjoyed: "Could it be that the distinguished guest they are talking about is me?" ”
There was a bit of excitement in his tone.
"Since the two of them know the donor, the donor should be a frequent visitor to the temple, and he must not be the person the master said." But seeing that the little monk shook his head, stared at Liu Ziqiu and Hua Yun for a long time, and suddenly made a mockery at Liu Ziqiu, and said, "Distinguished guest, please come with the little monk." ”
Hua Yun was dissatisfied, took a step forward, and asked, "I don't know them either, why am I not a distinguished guest?" ”
The little monk suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Donor, stop, you are not welcome in the temple!" ”
Hua Yun ignored him and waved his palm. Unexpectedly, the little monk was as stable as Mount Tai, and he couldn't move him this time. Hua Yun was annoyed and angry, and hit it hard. After all, the monk was too young to resist, and staggered backwards.
Liu Ziqiu's eyes were quick, he held the little monk up, and said to Hua Yun: "Third brother, Hugh is unreasonable, just wait for me here!" ”
Hua Yun still wanted to break in, but the two Zhike monks blocked him from left to right, clasped their hands together, and said in unison: "Donor, stop, the little junior brother just now is a disciple of the high monk, and even the abbot of this temple has to listen to his words." Even if the donor breaks in, he will be driven out by the sticks, so please go back! ”
Wei Chigong knew that there were many warrior monks in the temple, and he also persuaded: "Forget it, third brother, why bother to be angry?" Come with me to Tallinn to meet Master Tanzong. ”
The little monk took Liu Ziqiu into the temple gate, but he didn't go to the main hall, but only walked to a remote place. Liu Ziqiu saw that he was walking fast, and ordinary men might not be able to catch up with him, so he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and asked, "Little Master, what do you call the Dharma name?" ”
The little monk did not stop at his feet, and put his palms together and said: "Little monk Shuangfeng Mountain Dalin Temple Hongren." ”
Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but be surprised, he remembered that the Dharma name of the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism was called Hongren, and he couldn't help but ask: "How do you call the honored master?" ”
Hongren suddenly stopped, recited a Buddha name, and said, "The family teacher is faithful." ”
Liu Ziqiu was a little dazed.
He didn't believe in Buddhism, so naturally he didn't know much about Buddhism. It is only known that Bodhidharma founded Zen Buddhism in Middle Earth, so Bodhidharma is the ancestor of Zen Buddhism. After Bodhidharma, it was passed to the six ancestors Huineng, and then it was divided into five sects, so there were no seven ancestors and eight ancestors.
The reason why he knew about Hongnin was because of a story. Hongnin's eldest disciple is called Shenxiu, but Hongnin wants to pass on the mantle to his younger disciple Huineng, which leads to a split in Zen Buddhism. Later, under the persecution of Shenxiu, Huineng had to go far to the south, and Zen Buddhism was divided into "Nanneng Beixiu", and finally became five sects. As for the second, third, and fourth ancestors before Hongren, Liu Ziqiu didn't know anything. And why Liu Ziqiu remembered this story is because it is related to a martial arts secret.
It is said that the ancestor passed down two scriptures, one is the "Yijin Sutra" and the other is the "Washing the Marrow Sutra". The "Yijin Sutra" has been left in the Shaolin Temple, while the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" was carried by his mantle disciple Hui Ke, and later passed on to the three ancestors and monks. Since Hongren is the fifth ancestor, then his master Daoxin should be the fourth ancestor. Liu Ziqiu really wanted to meet him as soon as possible, or rather, he wanted to see the book of "Washing the Marrow Sutra" in his hand.
Hongren walked very fast, and Liu Ziqiu naturally had no difficulty following behind, but a seven-year-old child could have this kind of walking speed, which was enough to make him secretly frightened.
Liu Ziqiu thought secretly as he walked.
It was still uncertain that the distinguished guest mentioned by Daoxin was himself, after all, Hongren had a trace of hesitation when choosing between him and Hua Yun just now. But one thing is certain, since Daoxin is the master of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren, he must be a high-ranking monk. If he is exactly what he is talking about, and he can count his own arrival, then his Taoism is absolutely unfathomable, to the point of fantasy.
Daoxin can pinch and calculate, and Liu Ziqiu has always wanted to return to modern times, maybe he can ask him to help with this. But on the other hand, it is likely that Daoxin has already deduced his origins. Even he can't explain this kind of thing clearly, and it's no wonder that others treat him as a demon. Therefore, facing such a godlike monk this time is both an opportunity and a challenge.
As he walked, Liu Ziqiu became inexplicably nervous, and there was a war between heaven and man in his mind. At this time, there were suddenly bursts of loud bells and loud chanting sounds in the temple, which gradually calmed Liu Ziqiu's mood.
Daoxin was revered as the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and the Shaolin Temple prepared a beautiful meditation room for him, but he insisted on living in a house behind the temple. The surrounding grass is deep and the forest is lush, and pilgrims and monks rarely come here, so it is indeed a good place to practice.
Hiroshinobu stood his feet outside the door. Ji Shou said: "Master, your distinguished guest has arrived. ”
A monk dressed in a gray cotton robe, under the age of thirty, stepped out. Liu Ziqiu saw that he was so young, although he had shaved his head, but he did not have a scar, he only thought that he was Hongren's senior brother, bowed slightly, and said, "This master, may I ask where Master Daoxin is?" ”
The monk smiled and said, "The poor monk is Daoxin." ”
Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that Fourth Ancestor Daoxin would be so young, and he didn't even have a ring scar, so he couldn't help but be surprised. Daoxin is indeed young, only seven years older than Liu Ziqiu. But he didn't have a burn ring scar on his head, but Liu Ziqiu misunderstood. Because the perm ring scar was a matter after the Yuan Dynasty, there was no such rule for monks at this time.
At this time, Hongren had already said, "Master, please arrive. ”
The little monk's tone was a little apprehensive and nervous.
Daoxin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hongnin, you didn't disappoint me, you can already see it." ”
Hongren lowered his head and whispered, "Master, in fact, I didn't see it. ”
Daoxin smiled and encouraged, "No, in fact, you have already seen it. ”
Hongren was silent for a moment, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed, his hands folded, he recited a Buddha name, and said, "Master is right, the disciple has already seen it." ”
Liu Ziqiu couldn't hear what they were fighting, so he coughed twice and said, "I don't know what Master Xin's instructions are when he comes down?" ”
"No hurry, no hurry. The donor, please come with the poor monk first, and listen to the poor monk tell a story. ”
