Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 133: The Buddha Scolds the Ancestors (II)
013-12-09
Bafeng's injuries are stable. You don't have to be by your side all the time. After instructing Cheng Yanjin and the others to take turns to be on duty at night, Chen Sheng walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the meditation room on the other side. The purpose is nothing else, it is for the rumored Hou Xibai, the amorous son who also lives in the White Horse Temple and is famous for his romantic and suave martial arts.
In today's martial arts, Ba Fenghan, Hou Xibai, Yang Xuyan and other three people are the most prestigious figures in the younger generation. After Chen Sheng killed Yu Wenhua a year ago, someone in the martial arts changed the name of the three to the four. However, after Chen Sheng killed Yuwen and Emperor Yang of Sui again, and took over the power of the Wagang Army, his reputation and prestige had obviously far surpassed that of Ba Fenghan and the others. It would be inappropriate to compare them again. So the Big Four became the Big Three again.
Among these three, Ba Fenghan was born as a horse thief in the grassland outside the Saiwai, and his origin is very clear. Yang Xuyan was vaguely rumored to be a member of the royal family of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty. Although there has been no evidence to determine whether this is the case, there is also a history after all. Only the amorous son Hou Xibai, whose origin seems to be blank, no one can know his past. Although there are different opinions, there is always no consensus.
But Chen Sheng, as a member of the Divine Domain, knew that many of the people of this shijie did not know the secrets. Hou Xibai's origin is one of them. This amorous son is actually the same brother as Yang Xuyan, the head of the eight masters of the Demon Gate, and the apprentice of the evil king Shi Zhixuan. Moreover, Hou Xibai is the contemporary successor of the Huajian faction among the two factions and six ways of the Demon Sect.
There are two factions and six ways of the Demon Gate, with a total of eight masters. They are Shi Zhixuan, the "evil king" who is also the inheritance of the Huajian faction and the Mending Heaven Pavilion, Zhu Yuyan, the sect leader of the Yīn sect, Zhao Deyan, the "Demon Shuai" of the Demon Xiangdao, Xi Ying, the "Heavenly Monarch" of the Extinguishing Dao, and An Long, the "Fat Jia" of the Tianlian Sect. As for the true preaching, it is divided into two branches, Laojunguan and Daozu Zhenchuan, the former is the "demon way" to clear the dust; The descendant of the latter is the "Meridian Sword" Zuo Youxian. Zuihou is the "perverse act" of the evil extreme, especially the bird is tired.
Among the Demon Gates, the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Pavilion have diametrically opposite mental methods. The former is reborn, and the latter is dead. Between life and death, it is like fire and water are incompatible. Shi Zhixuan's ability to inherit both factions with one body is really an extremely rare outlier in the Demon Gate. Therefore, when he accepted his own apprentices, he did not try to reproduce his example in the next generation, but accepted two apprentices separately and taught the two schools of martial arts respectively. Hou Xibai thus became the successor of the Huajian faction.
Among the Demon Gate, there are indeed many people who are ruthless, selfish and despicable, ambitious and cunning people who intend to cause trouble in the world. But the Flower School is definitely an exception. In fact, the Hanama faction has always been considered to be the most demonic gate that is not like the demon gate. The heirs of the Flower Sect are not like the rest of the Demon Gate branches, they are not only regarded as flood beasts, but also street rats. On the contrary, it is the guest of many families.
As Rì's amorous son, he has never been famous because of his martial arts, but because of his superb painting skills. Even a daughter with an identity like Luoyang Shuangyan did not hesitate to come to visit in person, in order to ask Hou Xibai to paint a portrait of herself.
No matter how good Hou Xibai's painting skills are, in Chen Sheng's opinion, it is actually not as good as an Apple mobile phone. So he wanted to go to Hou Xibai, naturally not to ask for paintings. It's not even like to find out the evil king Shi Zhixuan through the amorous son. Because of Shi Zhixuan's whereabouts, even Hou Xibai, an apprentice, really didn't know. However, the "Twelve Branches of the Flowers" of the Flower School is also a rare stunt in the martial arts. Chen Sheng naturally wanted to see and learn.
If you want to become a master, you can't just practice your own. It is easy to make progress by communicating with masters more, increasing your vision and knowledge, absorbing the strengths of others, and turning them into nutrients to make up for your own shortcomings. For example, the battle with Yuwen made Chen Sheng's attainments in the two styles of "Vast Cold" and "Thousand Ridges Collapse" to a higher level. In the same way, masters such as Ba Fenghan, Li Mi, and Qu Ao also gave Chen Sheng more different experiences and inspirations. Since this is the case, it will definitely be beneficial to meet with the amorous son.
But the facts have once again verified the saying: "Man is not as good as heaven". When Chen Sheng went to the meditation room over there, he found that the room was empty, and there was no one left. came out to ask the monks for questioning, only to know that although he wanted to see Hou Xibai, the amorous son didn't want to see him. When everyone was busy healing Bafeng's cold injuries, Hou Xibai may have thought that too many laypeople entering the temple disturbed his peace, so he packed up his things and left. As soon as he left, naturally Luoyang Shuangyan and Bai Qing'er, Linglongjiao and others also followed. It's a side of fate.
Since everyone else is gone, there's no way to do it. But for a while, Chen Sheng didn't want to go back like this. Take a stroll around the White Horse Temple. As I said before, the White Horse Temple is the ancestral garden of Buddhism in Middle Earth. At that time, the two great monks who came to the east with the envoy of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Falan and Se Moteng, were buried in the White Horse Temple after their deaths. Since Chen Sheng intended to find clues about the remaining three volumes of the Divine Foot Sutra, he naturally would not ignore them.
In the dead of night, the entire monastery is immersed in a peaceful tranquility. Walking through it is a very new and unique feeling. If you can fly into the sky and look down, you can see very clearly that the White Horse Temple sits in the north and faces south, the layout is regular, and the style is simple. All buildings are listed on a north-south central axis. From south to north, it is the Tianwang Palace, the Great Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Receiving Hall and the Pilu Hall and so on. The halls are heavy, all of them are beautiful in shape, magnificent and magnificent. As for the tombs of the two eminent monks, Takemo Teng and Zhu Falan, they are located on the east and west sides of the mountain gate.
The tomb of the monk looks no different from that of ordinary people. It's just a steamed bun. At most, it is surrounded by cypress trees, which looks quiet and elegant. On the stone tablet in front of the tomb, there are engraved with the words "Tomb of Master Yuantong Morteng of Han Qidao" and "Tomb of Master Zhu Fa of Han Kaijiao". Looking left and right, I can't find anything related to the Divine Foot Sutra.
Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and sighed. Xindao himself also sees things too simply. If it is so easy to find the clue of the Divine Foot Sutra, can it still be a secret? I had no choice but to turn around and leave. I couldn't take a few steps, and suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up. But he saw a high platform made of blue bricks appear in front of him.
On the high platform, there is a statue of Buddha sitting on the Sumeru seat. The eyebrows are raised, and the treasure looks down solemnly, as if he can have an insight into the suffering of all beings. The left and right sides are lined with statues of kings and wrestlers. Not only are the shapes different, but their bearing, posture and movements, as well as the size of the body, all present a staggered and colorful scene. There is a certain harmony between the changes.
Chen Sheng's heart moved slightly, and he picked up the steps and walked up the high platform. Take a closer look at the statues of these kings and wrestlers. The first thing that catches the eye is the four heavenly kings who stand around the Buddha statue and are located in the south, east and west. They are: the Oriental Heavenly King holding the pipa; The Southern Growth Heavenly King with a sword in his hand, the Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King with a red dragon in his hand, and the Northern Duowen Heavenly King with a treasure umbrella in his hand. Taken together, it means "the wind and the rain are smooth".
The four statues, each with its own extreme pitch and stretch. The demeanor is either casual and natural, or jīng foot and vivid. The more closely I looked, the more I realized the deep meaning of the statue. Chen Sheng unconsciously visualized in his heart, simulating himself as the Heavenly King, and posing the same as him. The true qi in the body actually produced a certain echo, and then it moved stupidly, as if it was about to be guided into a group of meridians that had never been experienced when he practiced the "yù Samadhi Breaking Actions to Achieve the Divine Foot Sutra" before. It seems that something is still missing, so that it is impossible to complete the True Qi cycle according to this.
Knowing that there was a treasure mountain in front of him, he couldn't get in. Unconsciously, Chen Sheng's heart gradually became angry, and his body was full of anxiety. Even if he doesn't realize it, in fact, if he delays it any longer and can't wake up in time, then he will fall into the most dangerous mental calamity. In the end, he must have gone mad, so that the meridians of the whole body were burned by the heart fire, and he died violently on the spot.
At this critical moment, the immovable Zen mind that had been achieved through the practice of the "yù Samadhi Breaking Actions to Achieve the Divine Foot Sutra" finally started on its own. With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Chen Sheng finally reined in the precipice and came to his senses in time. He hurriedly restrained his true anger, but he was already scared into a cold sweat.
Before Chen Sheng could completely restrain his true qi, suddenly, a voice full of humor came from nowhere, and the voice was full of humor, and he sang: "If a person seeks a Buddha, he will lose the Buddha; If a person seeks the way, he has lost the way. Don't take your jīng through the scriptures, don't take your princes and generals, don't take your arguments, don't take your wisdom and wisdom, only you really want to be as you are. If you want to sleep, you sleep, if you want to sit, you can sit; The heat is cool, and the cold is the fire. ”
The voice was actually not very loud, but in Chen Sheng's ears, it was like a morning bell at dusk, which had a deafening effect. Suddenly, he shook violently, and his heart was full of realization. The speed of reining in true qi is also two points faster. In a moment, all the true qi that had entered the fork in the road was summed up in the dantian. Chen Sheng turned around and looked around into the distance, but there was no one in sight. He groaned slightly, and then raised his voice into the night sky: "Thank you seniors for your advice, and I am grateful for it." Please also show up to meet you, so that you can have a chance to repay this kindness. ”
This voice appeared, and it was obvious that Chen Sheng's situation was inappropriate, so he gave advice. Although in fact, even without his guidance, Chen Sheng himself could get rid of his demons. But the other party is always kind. So Chen Sheng still received his favor.
The witty voice chuckled again, chanting: "The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world." Leaving the world to find Bodhi is just like asking for a rabbit's horns. "The chanting seems to come from a distant horizon, and if you are not careful, it will be indistinct. But if you use God, the words are clear, there is nothing left, and it is clearly a kind of Buddhist miracle -
