The name of the temple is cool, but it is not pure. Although it is evening, but in the temple on the mountain, there are still many pilgrims who come to offer incense, the bell sings late, the sound of chanting sutras is endless, and some believers kneel in front of the mountain 'gate' to chant sincerely. Looking at the pious appearance of these believers, Xu Ziling was silent. Although the 'door' of Buddhism is a foreign religion, it is indeed far superior to the 'gate' of Taoism in gathering believers by adapting measures to local conditions and opening a wide range of convenient 'doors'.

Xu Ziling remembered the idea of the vast Taoist 'door' that Qihui had been thinking about, and saw the prosperity of the incense in the Buddhist temple in front of him, and gradually became thoughtful. The Buddha "door" is prosperous, although there are Buddhist "door" talents, and the great monks are endless, but more importantly, the Buddhist "door" doctrine is in line with the people, and the idea of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to cultivate the next life is a very good dose of "essence" and "divine good medicine" for the people who have suffered from the war "chaos", and the Buddhist "door" monks practice to protect the safety of one party, even Xu Ziling, who often receives Qihui's anti-Buddhist education, has to admit that in this "chaotic" world, the place where the Buddha "gate" is sheltered is indeed a rare pure land. In contrast, the Dao 'Gate' was originally focused on personal cultivation and only took the upper route, which was really a bit detached from the common people. It is no wonder that for hundreds of years, Buddhism's 'door' has been thriving, not only from a foreign Hu religion, gradually transformed into the Chinese righteous way, but now it has a tendency to overpower the local Taoist 'door'.

Qingliang Temple is built according to the mountain, it is said that it is a mountain and river, in fact, it is not tall, it is just a small hill, it enters from the mountain 'gate', there are three halls in the front, middle and back, over the three halls, you can see a bluestone paved path along the mountain, go straight to the bell and drum tower on the top of the mountain.

The monks in the temple were not surprised when they saw a group of fleeing people coming, and a monk stepped forward: "Amitabha, good and good, can there be any injured among you?" If so, please come inside. ”

"Thank you, Master." The patriarch hurriedly stepped forward, full of praise, and told the situation again.

There are also people in this village who are monks in this temple, and after a while, a middle-aged monk appeared inside, and the patriarch hurriedly stepped forward and explained the things one by one.

"Thank you Xu Shizhu for saving my village, the donor is chivalrous and has immeasurable merits." The status of the middle-aged monk was also taken aback when he heard the introduction of the patriarch, but when he heard that Xu Ziling had saved the people of the village, he hurriedly came over to thank him.

Xu Ziling said politely: "With a gesture, the master doesn't have to be polite." As he spoke, he looked at the sky and said, "I promised the village chief to escort me all the way, and now I have arrived at your temple, and I will leave in the next place." ”

The monk hurriedly said: "The donor has worked hard, if today's 'color' is over, why should the donor be in a hurry, it is better to rest in the temple." When the patriarch heard that Xu Ziling was leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to stay.

Xu Ziling's 'sex' is indifferent, although he has received a lot of anti-Buddhist education from Dugu Feng and Qihui, but he does not have much rejection of the Buddha's 'door', but he is from Taoism, and he still feels slightly inappropriate to stay in the Buddhist temple. What's more, he still has Fu Junzhuo by his side, and it is even more inconvenient to stay in the temple, so he said politely: "Thank you for the master's kindness, but there is a 'female' companion by my side, and it is inconvenient to stay in your temple." ”

Only then did the monk notice Fu Junzhuo, who was dressed in a white shirt and holding a sword, standing far away on a bluestone, looking at the temple coldly, with an outstanding temperament, and it was very conspicuous among the surrounding village women. The monk came out in a hurry, and he didn't notice it for a while, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, this temple often has pilgrims coming and going from a long distance, so there are several houses under the mountain." The donor has worked hard all the way, and you can rest with your companions in the guest room at the bottom of the mountain. ”

When the patriarch heard that Xu Ziling was leaving, he was also busy to stay. Xu Ziling saw that there was no need to stay in the temple, and Fu Junzhuo's serious injuries had not healed, and it was not convenient to stay in the mountains and wilderness.

After dinner, Fu Junzhuo closed the 'door' as usual, and entered the Nine Xuan Da & Fa, working hard to recover his strength as soon as possible. After postponing the warm greeting of the villagers, Xu Ziling also went back to the room to rest. His 'sex' was originally quite tranquil, and after two years of learning in the mountains, he became more and more dusty, and had a strong rejection and resistance to the chaos and killing of the world, and even with more and more yearning for the life of wandering in the mountains and forests and sending love to the mountains and rivers. He is not like Kou Zhong, he has the desire to get ahead, and he has no special nostalgia for male and female love, whether it is Shan Wanjing or Shen Luoyan, they have expressed their love to him euphemistically, but for them, although he is 'excited' and their favor, he does not have much heartbeat in his heart. Although he was ordered by the master to go to the Dongming faction to discuss business, he was already faintly guessing the master's intentions, so he was not in a hurry to rush to the Dongming faction, and even delayed the trip because of the treatment of Fu Junzhuo.

Speaking of Fu Junzhuo, for some reason, Xu Ziling has a particularly strange feeling for this strong and indifferent Goryeo 'girl', although Fu Junzhuo's attitude towards him is cold, but he faintly perceives that she has a soft heart from under her indifferent appearance. Under Fu Junzhuo's cold appearance, what is hidden is the weakness that people can't help but care for, and this different temperament faintly attracts Xu Ziling. He didn't know if it was the friendship between men and women, but this was a feeling that neither Shan Wanjing nor Shen Luoyan had brought him, and he couldn't help but want to explore and experience.

However, Xu Ziling's heart was clear after all, and these thoughts just swirled around in his mind slightly, and then he threw him out and put it aside. For him, the only pursuit in this life has been determined, that is, to explore the supreme heavenly way, to pursue the most fundamental meaning of life, and to appreciate the infinite mystery of the natural creation of the universe.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling suddenly felt relieved, like pulling out a deep foot from the mud, returning to his usual chic and open-minded, and his brain was active again. He closed his eyes and continued to practice the recipe for longevity. His encounter is magical, first under the guidance of the master Dugu Feng cultivated into the Taoist 'door' supreme treasure book "Longevity Formula" that no one has been able to practice for thousands of years, and then it is the world's "medicine" Wang Sun Simiao's guidance, combining the longevity recipe with medical skills, and interpreting the mystery of longevity recipe from another angle, Qi therapy is not only an unprecedented treatment method in medicine, but also a way of practice that opens up the world, the doctor is not only a practice, the deeper the understanding of the human body, the deeper he understands the human body, he develops the potential of the human body for the "Longevity Formula", The deeper the comprehension of the treasure book containing the supreme mystery of the incarnation of heaven and man. In just three or four years, his skills have entered the realm rapidly, and the depth of his true qi alone has not lost to those masters who have been famous for decades.

Speaking of which, although he had to be taught by Dugufeng the supreme swordsmanship "Heart Sword Divine Technique", but because of his love for the sword and indulged in my "Heart Sword Divine Technique", it was not Xu Ziling's appetite at all, but the immature "Tai Chi" concept deeply hit him 'hole', and now it has become the foundation of his martial arts.

Tai Chi negatives 'yin' and embraces yang, impulsively thinking that it is harmonious, and clarifies the process of the universe from infinity to Tai Chi and even the transformation of all things. It contains the mystery of Taoism's supreme Tao, although Dugufeng's 'handover' to him is just a simple martial arts concept, but it contains endless development potential. Over the years, under the teaching of his ancestor Zhang Guo, he has read all the martial arts of Louguandao, Zhang Guo regards him as the heir of the mantle, and even some of the secret legends of Louguandao, even Dugufeng will not know the mastery of teaching him, and he has integrated these martial arts, formed his own martial arts system, and has embarked on a road to find his own martial arts. However, after all, his system was newly established, and there are still many omissions, and there are still many places to think about.

While thinking, Xu Ziling unconsciously put his two palms flat, one palm was slightly empty, flat towards the sky, and the index finger and thumb of one hand were buckled, like pinching beads, and suddenly turned into two hands 'intertwined', changing all kinds of different tricks.

All thoughts are one.

Ethereal, in a trance, the separation between inside and outside completely collapsed, in the silence of the void, the qi veins in the body vibrated violently, and the longevity formula, qi therapy and prenatal formula were fused into one through different nine-character mantra mudras, entering me and me, and becoming one with man and heaven.

Xu Ziling woke up suddenly.

It's not a good idea to wake up, because he hasn't fallen asleep. It is indescribable, the practice of "Longevity Formula" qigong comes from the "essence" state of mind that is different from ordinary sleep, the body is comfortable, the movement is seen in the stillness, and time seems to stop moving completely.

The reason why he "woke up" was because of the sound of pushing the 'door' from outside the next door.

It was Fu Junzhuo who lived next door, at this time everything was silent, the small courtyard was empty, and there was no one else in Xu Ziling's empty and quiet spiritual awareness. And Fu Junzhuo pushed the 'door' out, passed through the small courtyard, and did not stop, but walked in the direction of the Zen courtyard.

All kinds of questions flashed through Xu Ziling's clear and empty mind at the speed of lightning and fire.

Keep your eyes open.

Xu Ziling pondered for a moment, then stood up and pushed the 'door' out. Although he knew that Fu Junzhuo went out at this time, most likely because he had something to avoid him, Fu Junzhuo was seriously injured now, and he didn't have the slightest ability to do it, so if he encountered danger, he was afraid that he would have no chance to resist. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he still decided to follow, just to avoid Fu Junzhuo's embarrassment, he decided to just follow from a distance with his spiritual sense, and did not get close.

At this time, the bright moon hung high, the courtyard was white, Xu Ziling stepped on the moon, like a wisp of green smoke, disappeared in the vast moon 'color'.

At this time, the night is deep, the Zen temple is silent, look up, the cool temple built by the mountain, under the bright night of the stars and moon, the main hall is raised layer by layer, full of rich levels of static beauty, picturesque like a dream, with a different kind of Zen meaning.

Fu Junzhuo walked to the temple 'door', the cold 'jade' face 'revealed' a sneer, at this time the courtyard 'door' is half-open, through the half-open courtyard 'door', you can see the empty square. Fu Junzhuo paused for a moment and walked in.

Xu Ziling followed Fu Junzhuo from a distance and went deep in the direction of the backyard.

There were not half monks along the way, and the whole monastery was deep and quiet, as if it was sleeping. After passing the three splendid halls, turn left and enter an ancient stone path lined with bamboo trees.

Fu Junzhuo walked up the steps along the path, the stone road winds and stretches among the bamboo forests, the winding path is secluded, and in the silent moonlight, it is particularly fascinating. After turning a corner, the whole space expands to infinity, and the original road is at the end of the cliff edge, which can not only look up at the stars and moon, but also overlook the mountains and fields near and far.

In this picturesque scenery, a peerless fairy dressed in Confucian men's clothing is standing on the edge of the cliff, leisurely overlooking the endless land stretching under the cliff.
