The river flows eastward, and the Lion Rock is in full bloom.

In the Hongfa Temple, all the masters listened respectfully to the history of the old-timers.

"Nine hundred years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty; In order to fight against the Jin soldiers, the imperial court appointed a general to summon warriors from all over the world to train the navy in Dongting Lake, but the elite soldiers recruited in half a year were only more than 10,000. First, because of the weak civil customs caused by years of war, and second, the status of soldiers at that time was relatively low, and some people with big faces were reluctant to join the army. Another reason is that Buddhism flourished at that time, from the emperor to the scholars, all believed in Buddhism, and the whole country was densely populated with monasteries and many monks. Many of those people were not devout believers, just because being a monk was exempt from paying taxes or from military service. At that time, there was a legend: there are ten points of wealth in the world, and seven points are piled up in front of the lotus platform.

"In order to complete the task as soon as possible, the general obeyed the persuasion of the advisers and issued three orders; One of them is to tear down the Buddha statue and confiscate the temple property, and abolish the degree. The general said: The country is about to die, the husband is responsible, the Buddha is considerate of all sentient beings, and the Buddha's followers should contribute more to the country, so as not to make a sacrifice in vain. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Banweng took a sip of his teacup and glanced at Master Empty Silence.

"At that time, there was a largest temple on the shore of Dongting Lake, called Liantai Temple, and the presiding monk was named Yin Shikong. After knowing the news that the general was going to raid the monastery, Yin Shikong went to Lin'an overnight to check up and down, spent a lot of money to buy the eunuchs of the inner palace, and was able to meet the emperor in person and offer a large sum of gold and silver. A few days later, Yin Shikong returned to Liantai Temple with the gold medal of the Imperial Protector, thinking that the general would not dare to touch him with this title. However, there are thousands of monks and monks inside and outside the temple, and the surrounding monasteries have the excuse of going out with the master of the temple, and if the temple is not touched, other temples will also resist the general's order on this ground. The general is also embarrassed, after all, the emperor is not easy to offend. ”

"One day, it coincided with the Buddha Bathing Festival, and Yin Shikong set up a Dharma platform in Liantai Temple. At noon, a farmer came from the west, walked straight into the Liantai Temple, did not offer incense or worship the Buddha, so he walked to the lotus platform of the main hall of the Liantai Temple, cried loudly, beat his chest while crying. The farmer angrily scolded himself for being unfilial, disloyal, unjust, and shameless. The day of the Buddha bathing festival is the birthday of the Buddha, Yin Shikong led a group of monks of all sizes to do Buddhist things in the main hall, someone crying in front of the person is always not good to ignore, so he asked the person why he cried. ”

"The farmer said, 'It is unfilial piety to live for thirty-six years, but to work all day long, but the family is so poor, that there is nothing to provide for his parents.' Seeing that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and being unable to contribute to the country is disloyal. The demons in the world are rampant and bewitching sentient beings, and they themselves have learned to ignore their relatives and friends only for themselves, which is unjust. What is it that is not a shameless person like this? At this the farmer cried out loud. ”

"Yin Shikong no longer pays attention to the farmer; The Buddhist scriptures were recited loudly to explain, and all the monks and believers in the hall recited the scriptures at the same time to celebrate the birthday of the Buddha, and the sound shook the world with thunder; The farmer stopped crying, and took out two black iron rods and grinded them on the main hall. Strangely, the small iron rods grinded on the stone slabs of the main hall, but they made a loud noise. Yin Shikong couldn't stand the terrible voice, and asked the farmer unhappily why he was sharpening the iron rod. ”

"The farmer said, 'He has been sharpening these two iron needles for thirty years, and when he was six years old he said that if he could sharpen them into needles, he would get innumerable glory and wealth.' Yin Shikong took a closer look at the two iron rods and said with a smile: "The donor has been deceived, these two iron rods are all iron, and even if they are sharpened into needles, they are not worth much; How can I get prosperity and wealth? ’”

"Then the farmer put away the iron rod and said to Yin Shikong very seriously: 'Two iron needles are not worth a few dollars, and one man said that if they can pass through one thing, they will soon become a precious treasure.' Greedy, he asked, 'What did you wear?' ’”

"The farmer pointed to the jade bottle enshrined on the lotus platform and said, 'Buddha's eye'. It turns out that the reason why Liantai Temple is so famous is because there are two treasures from the Western Regions enshrined in the temple: the Buddha's eye relic. When the farmer said this, Yin Shikong immediately became annoyed, saying that the farmer was blaspheming the Buddha and wanted to go to hell with his nose, and he could not be reborn in the next life. ”

"The farmer was also annoyed, jumped up and grabbed the jade bottle, and said, 'If you do it, you will go to hell, and if you don't do it, you will go to hell. With that, the farmer vanished. There was still the jade bottle on the lotus platform, and Yin Shikong hurriedly stepped forward to open it, and there was only a bamboo slip inside. It reads: Heaven and earth, I am the only one. ”

After Zhou Banweng finished telling this story, the Master of Empty Silence blushed with shame. Heaven and earth, I am the only one! This proverb was left by the Buddha, and it is difficult to explain whether it is arrogant or arrogant.

Zhu Tong asked curiously, "Is that farmer a Buddha?" ”

"No, the farmer is a counselor under the general's tent. After Yin Shikong lost the Buddha's eye relic, the Liantai Temple quickly declined, and Yin Shikong no longer had the original majesty. Two months later, the surrounding temples were closed one after another, and the general recruited 50,000 soldiers to train at Dongting Lake for a year before heading to the Huaihai battlefield. Invincible all the way, repeatedly breaking the golden soldiers. Later, this pair of Buddha-eyed relics really appeared on the two black needles, and the strategists relied on this pair of black needles to save the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield. However, the amount of individuals is limited after all, and the mediocre military salary of the imperial court is unsustainable. The general's 50,000 naval army became smaller and fewer, and after all, it could not stop the Mongol iron hooves from conquering the land south of the Yangtze River. The general finally fell into the water with an arrow on the river, and the strategist followed the general downstream; This pair of black needles is also lost in the rivers and lakes. Two hundred years later, this pair of black needles appeared in the hands of another person, when the world was peaceful, and a teenager emerged from Yuzhou, with a pair of black needles to break into the name of a miracle doctor. At that time, this pair of black needles was already like this, and the tail of the needle was already like a dragon and a phoenix. However, although the young man was skilled in medicine, he had three incurables: the emperor's relatives were not treated, the monks and idlers were not treated, and the literati were not treated. ”

"Why is that? Isn't there a lot less rich patients? Zhu Tong asked again, he had already begun to doubt the authenticity of the story Zhou Banweng said.

No one knows what the young man thinks, anyway, through his hands, he cured many ordinary people and knights. The boy debuted twenty-three years ago, and just as he suddenly appeared, he disappeared very suddenly. However, this pair of black needles did not disappear with him, and fell into the hands of the young man's disciple. The name Dragon Phoenix Xinghao was given by that lucky disciple. In the following 100 years, the dragon and phoenix stars have been circulating on the rivers and lakes, and gradually become the treasure of the Zhu family in Yuzhou. The Zhu family also relied on this pair of needles to establish a transcendent position in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yuzhou Zhujia?" Everyone silently recited this name and looked at the three brothers Zhu Tong, Zhu Yun, and Zhu Huai; They have guessed what is the relationship between this Zhu family and Zhu Men?

"Yuzhou Zhujia is a branch of Zhuyoumen, that is, the predecessor of Zhumen. This is the origin of this pair of dragons and phoenixes. Empty, do you still want to wish the head of the sect to hand them over to the Golden Buddha Temple? Zhou Banweng looked at the emptiness with a cold face.

It's hard to say anything.

"The current rivers and lakes are no longer more than any sect of people, whoever has high kung fu will be majestic, and whoever is not ruthless enough will be powerful; The times are changing, the rivers and lakes are also changing, and any sect that can't keep up will be eliminated. When he said this, Zhou Banweng's eyes swept over the whistle and Jiang Xiaoyu, and finally stopped at Zhu Tong.

"How many years have it been, how many years has the foundation of the rivers and lakes built by the predecessors with painstaking efforts has been inherited, do you know the emptiness? Does Yu Xuan know? Zhou Banweng finally calmed down and took a sip from the teacup.

"An individual's ability is always limited, even if he has trained a pair of steel and iron bones, even if he can transcend life and death, it is only a personal matter, and he still has to abide by the rules of secular society. This is a truth that the predecessors of the rivers and lakes have gone through many bloody ups and downs to understand. The Living Buddha of Soonda and the Bamboo Taoist both understood this truth, and their cultivation could not stop a few bullets. As the head of a faction, your every move involves the prosperity of the rivers and lakes, and you must understand this truth. Thirty years ago, everyone was secretly toiling for survival; Thirty years later, when you are finally on the stage again, do you think that your every move can transcend the rules of the world and change the laws of the world? Empty, a product of the Golden Buddha believers to 100,000, the friendship of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen many, the Golden Buddha Temple is now also a big fortune, the dojo masters gathered. Let me ask you, if today's incident caused a fatal incident, how many of your followers would dare to openly help you? It is not an accident that the Living Buddha Soonda has devoted himself to Zhumen, he may have been ashamed to cooperate with you for a long time, have you ever thought about this? ”

Empty silence pondered for a moment, his face pale and silent.

Zhou Banweng turned to Yu Xuan Zhenren again: "Yu Xuan, the Bamboo Taoist is a legend of the rivers and lakes, before he ascended, we didn't expect his greatness." The Dao Sect did a good job in the previous paragraph, why is it so shaken today? The spirit of Tai Chi is mellow and through, and the so-called avenue is invisible. You have brought so many people with swords to swagger through the city and through the streets, not afraid of bringing disaster to the Taoist Sect? It's good to help the door, it's not right to put on such a big show. What I just told was not a story, but what actually happened in history. We all have to learn this lesson, and at no time should we get carried away and forget what we are eating. ”

Having said that, the most embarrassing thing is the whistle, Zhou Banweng has never looked at him from beginning to end, although the next Jianghu cocktail party will be held in more than two years, and today's occasion is very rehearsal.

The whistle is cunning and cunning, and gradually tastes different.
