Chapter 2 The Affair of Iwami Province 2
The big ship was still sailing on the sea, and it was still a long time before it reached the other side of the sea.
In the dimly lit cabin, Guan Hu was still telling the story.
Fujiwara Yonaga threw down the scroll and sent someone to arrest the Yakushi.
Yakushi was originally a member of the Tsuwano Domain, so Yakushi was quickly found. However, before Yakushi knew what was going on, he was already tied up by Fujiwara Yonaga's men.
Come with us. ’
The men brought the Yakushi to Yonaga Fujiwara.
'Why are you arresting me?' ’
The pharmacist asked suspiciously.
At this time, Yakushi was still very scared, after all, Fujiwara Yonaga was a tyrannical feudal lord.
Even if there was a misunderstanding, if it couldn't be explained, there was a good chance that the pharmacist would be killed.
'Who told you to give me that picture?' ’
Yonaga Fujiwara asked.
Fujiwara Yonaga sat high in his place, looking very angry.
I found that painting in the mountains, and I thought it was a strange picture, so I gave it to the lord of the domain. ’
The medicine man replied on his knees.
If you don't say who assigned you to deliver the paintings, then I'll have to kill you." ’
Fujiwara Yonaga said.
Although Yakushi was in a hurry when he heard that Fujiwara Yonaga was going to kill him, at this time, he had no idea what was going on.
In this way, Yakushi was locked in a cell by Fujiwara Yonaga and waited to be executed along with the other death row inmates.
And the Tsuwano and Yoshinaga domains soon broke out into war.
The two sides fought for a long time, and in the end they only lost both sides, and neither side could completely defeat the other......"
"And what about the painting?"
Yingcao asked.
"That painting must have been in Fujiwara's hands all along. Although he suspected that others were using that painting to frame him, the beautiful girl in the painting also made him unbearable to destroy the painting. ”
Guan Hu replied.
This is the end of the story, and the famous painting of the flower and bird scroll has not been mentioned for hundreds of years. I don't know where I went now. ”
Guan Hu continued.
……
The dim light, the flickering lights, the big ship seemed incomparably small in the boundless sea.
There was a brief silence in the cabin.
Guan Hu has finished telling the story of the flower and bird roll, and it should be the next person's turn.
"Who's going to talk next?"
Chen Beibei asked.
"I'll tell you."
The owner of the sea who was originally sitting in the shadows and didn't say a word said.
In fact, the owner of the sea has never been involved in these activities, and this time he will offer to tell the story by himself, which is a little surprising.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded and motioned for the owner of the sea to start telling the story.
"In Iwami Province, Yanyu Temple is a large temple with the highest status, and many eminent monks have also come to Yanyu Temple to listen to the lectures of a Zen master named Kongwu.
This story is recorded in the record of what we have seen and heard in our temple.
Next, I will tell this story from the perspective of a monk who wrote the record of his experiences, so that it should be more clear. ”
When the owner of the sea square spoke, his tone was neither slow nor slow, as if he was narrating a very familiar matter.
At this time, the owner of the sea was still sitting in the shadows. The light of the oil lamp could not shine on him, making it impossible to see clearly, the current expression of the owner of the sea square.
"I heard that Shi saw that there was no Zen master in the country, just like the Buddha was alive, and when he preached the scriptures, the sound of immortals entered his ears, which made people enlightened.
Today.
I will go to Iwami Province, and if I can see the side of the Zen master in the sky, I will benefit a lot.
After more than three months of passing through the mountains and seas, we finally arrived at the other side of the sea. The body was exhausted and hungry. I was fortunate enough to spend the night at the home of a good man, who sincerely worshiped the Buddha and entertained me with a sumptuous meal, and I was very grateful.
On the day I arrived at Iwami Province, the sky was clear, cloudless, and the sky was clear.
What a wonderful place.
He did not immediately go to the Yanyu Temple that day, but spent the night in the wilderness. Find a river and wash your dirty body and clothes.
Before dawn on the second day, he had already gotten up and headed for the Yanyu Temple.
At this time.
The Yanyu Temple has not yet opened, and after a moment of meditation at the entrance of the temple, the temple is opened.
Enter the temple.
Everything is as rumored to say, the monks in the temple are all cultivated as Buddha profound, which is amazing.
It is known that the time of the Zen master of emptiness is the first day of every month.
There are still more than ten days before the next lecture, so I have to stay in Yanyu Temple temporarily.
During this period, the monks of Yanyu Temple chanted and meditated together, which made people immersed in it and deeply touched.
There is a treasure in the Yanyu Temple.
I thought it was a precious Buddhist scripture, or an item such as a monk's ritual weapon.
Outcome.
It's just a picture scroll, I am fortunate to see it, in the picture scroll, the girl's green silk is like a waterfall, and her eyes are full of waves, like a celestial person.
Ask for the name of the scroll.
The monk in the temple replied, 'Flower and bird rolls. ’
The worldly people are blindly pursuing, so they are deeply in suffering. In order to attain detachment, the basic practice of monks is to let go.
The girl in the flower and bird roll is extremely beautiful, just a glance, it can't help but make people excited.
It should be a treasure in the world.
But for the practitioner, it is an item that should not be collected, after all, the suffering of pursuit is something that the practitioner should abandon.
In the days that followed, I had a discussion with other monks about the scroll.
Eventually, the monks told the truth.
The flower and bird scroll is a picture scroll with aura, and people who are related to the Buddha can see the Buddha through the scroll. ”
Speaking of this, the owner of the sea paused slightly.
No one interrupted him as he told the story, although there were some things that made people want to ask questions. However, everyone still chose to listen to the story first.
When I heard the monk tell the truth, I was puzzled.
After it again.
The monks talked about the course of the matter, and told one by one that in the Yanyu Temple, there were three monks who had seen the Buddha.
Everyone who can meet the Buddha will become the abbot of Yanyu Temple.
And the Zen Master of Emptiness is the last one.
The first monk to see the Buddha through the scroll was a monk named Yiyuan.
Yiyuan Zen Master wrote a scripture, which is also a treasure of Yanyu Temple.
The scripture was hidden in the secret room of the Yanyu Temple, and the monks who had left the Vinaya could see it, but no one else could read it.
As for the content of that scripture, it is a description of the scene where the Zen master of One Yuan saw the Buddha through the picture scroll.
The words of the Buddha and everything in the painting are hidden in detail in the scriptures.
In the Hereafter.
If someone was able to see the Buddha through the scroll, the monks of the Vinaya would ask him to tell him what it was like to see the Buddha.
Really.
What the Zen Master of Emptiness said is exactly the same as what is in the scriptures, and they correspond to each other. ”
The master of the sea came out of the shadows, and then said slowly: "After that, the monk also saw the empty Zen master, and had the honor to stop the empty no Zen master's teaching. When he returned, he recorded it. Later, because of his profound Dharma practice, he also became the seventh abbot of our temple. ”
……
Be quiet.
The story of the owner of the sea has been told, but the cabin is still very quiet.
No one speaks, because everyone is thinking.
Apparently.
There is some connection between the story told by the owner of the sea and the story told by Guan Hu.
The girl in the painting is like a waterfall, and her eyes are full of waves, like a celestial person.
Flower and bird rolls.
In both stories, the same painting appears, and both of them take place in Iwami Province.
"Master Haifang, is the abbot still there?"
Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea square and asked him.
"More than 300 years ago, it passed away."
The owner replied.
Although he learned that the abbot was dead, Chen Beibei was not disappointed.
After all.
When listening to the story told by the owner of Haifang, Chen Beibei already felt that the era of this story should be relatively old.
"So is there really such a picture scroll as a flower and bird roll in this world?"
Yingcao said.
"Well, there must be."
Guan Hu replied.
At this time, everyone is still very curious about such a strange picture scroll of flowers and birds.
After all.
This painting, giving people the feeling, should be very beautiful.
And this painting can also make people walk into the painting.
"But why are those people walking into different painting environments?"
Zashiki looked at Guan Hu and asked her.
In the story told by Guan Hu, the first pharmacist to discover the scroll, in the painting, saw a beautiful scene of birds singing and flowers, and a girl humming an unknown song.
Fujiwara Yonaga saw his younger brother and appeared in his bedroom.
As for the story told by the owner of the sea.
What the three eminent monks saw was the Buddha of great glory.
"I don't know about this, maybe it's the special power of the flower and bird roll, so they can see a different scene."
Guan Hu replied.
Chen Beibei sat on the side all the time, did not speak, just quietly listened to their conversation.
When Guan Hu just said the name of the flower and bird roll.
Chen Beibei was a little excited, after all, Chen Beibei was also familiar with the name of Flower and Bird Roll.
This is an SSR-style god in the Onmyoji, and it is very powerful, in ancient times, it was called the strongest nurse of the Onmyoji.
And.
It is also the first SSR-style god in Chen Beibei to rise to six stars.
When Chen Beibei was still a newcomer, Chen Beibei alone had no way to defeat the ninth-layer Baqi Giant Snake.
Chen Beibei finally brushed it by borrowing the president's six-star needle female flower and bird roll.
At that time, the amount of milk and the output of the flower and bird rolls were all breathtaking to Chen Beibei.
"Master Haifang, where is your Yanyu Temple?"
Chen Beibei asked.
"I don't know."
The owner of the sea square looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.
"But after such a long time, the Smoke and Rain Temple should have disappeared too. Otherwise, how could such a famous temple not even be talked about by the monks in our temple? ”
The owner continued.
The speculation of the owner of the sea should also be very likely, after all, such a long time has passed.
A temple disappeared.
It is very likely.
In times of turmoil, wars, conversions, monks' departures, rumors, etc., can all contribute to this outcome.
"Let's keep telling the story."
Chen Beibei said.
At this time, there were several people on the other side of the curtain listening to them.
Although Chen Beibei wanted to find the flower and bird rolls.
But.
If you keep talking about this at this time, it will definitely make the people next door feel strange.
"I'll talk about it next."
Yingcao said.
……
The lights in the cabin flickered, and the figures on the ground squirmed.
Yingcao began to tell her story.
"In a grassland, there are many small grasses, although each one is different.
But.
The grasses all trust each other and tell each other their hearts and minds to each other every day.
The days went by day by day.
Bland, laid-back, blissful.
If we continue like this, then we will all spend our whole lives.
sprouts, breaks through the soil, sucks the rain and dew, thrives, withers......
The calm was broken early one morning, and a herd of herdsmen migrated to the grasslands.
They took with them the flocks as well as the herds.
'I'm so scared. ’
Yesterday many of their companions were eaten by sheep. ’
The hard hooves of the herd trampled many of their companions to death, and on such days, I wanted to escape. ’
Life is no longer peaceful, and every day many companions are eaten.
Many, many of his companions were trampled to death.
The companion who was still happily sharing his little secret with him yesterday may have disappeared today.
It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
But.
Because they are small grasses, they can only endure it, after all, they cannot move or speak to humans.
The whole grassland was soon destroyed by the cattle and sheep.
'It's painful. ’
'I want to cry ......'
'Let's run! ’
An ordinary-looking dandelion said, and its voice sounded very crisp.
The other grasses were stunned.
Run away.
They never had such thoughts, so, when hearing Dandelion's proposal.
They're just stunned.
'We're grass. ’
'yes, yes, we can't move. ’
It was a long time before the grass said that.
'Can't the grass move?' ’
Dandelion said.
When Dandelion said this, he moved closer to the grass beside him.
'You've moved......
'Ah, why can you move?' ’
The other grass looked at the dandelion and said in surprise.
Dandelion doesn't know why she can move, but she has only been born for a short time.
Grow in an atmosphere of darkness, restlessness, and terror.
All it remembers is that its companions around it have been eaten by the flock, and when a sheep tries to eat it, it hides itself. ”
"Haha, are you talking about fairy tales?"
The man on the other side of the curtain said. This time, though, it was a man who spoke.
"Fairy tales and other things that only children believe in. In this world, there is no saying that grass moves. If the sheep really wants to eat the grass, the grass can only wait quietly to be eaten by the sheep. ”
The man continued.
