On the issue of external strength, Shi Xin really couldn't give better advice, after all, he and Zhao Yun had different paths, and they were even more unfamiliar with marksmanship. But Yu Zhenzi is different, he is known as "invincible in external strength", and he is also the founding patriarch of Yuzhenmen, and his external strength is at its peak, so he can naturally untie Zhao Yun's heart knot.

Shi Xin immediately made a decision, summoned the little gold and silver, and let it carry Zhao Yun to Simei Mountain. Accompanied by Dong Feng and Hua Tuo, there is only one month left before the final resurrection time, and they need to confirm the resurrection matter with Zuo Ci again.

The three of them were about to leave, but Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning came over when they heard the sound.

It turned out that they had encountered the same situation as Zhao Yun - although they had risen to the peak of the eighth rank, they were always short of a breakthrough opportunity.

Along the way, Zhou Tai's upgrade is closely related to Shi Xin. Whether it is the Yellow River practice method that first entered Luoyang, or the seabed practice method near Guishan Island, or even all the internal skills of Zhoutai Buddhism, it is an important part of the internal skills of the three major systems of Shi Xin, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It can be said that Shi Xin is most familiar with Zhou Tai's situation.

After a short conversation, Shi Xin finally understood that it turned out that the two of them had not yet reached the corresponding level of Buddhism and Taoism, and they could not get a glimpse of the heavens from these two academics.

Shi Xin decided to let Zhang Ning follow Zhao Yun and the other three to Simei Mountain, speaking of Taoism, as the third disciple of Nanhua Old Immortal, Zuo Ci should be the strongest existence of everyone in this camp. Although he had to learn miscellaneous, all miscellaneous studies were based on Taoism, and his mastery was not much worse than that of Zhang Daoling and Yu Ji. Moreover, he had already entered the leyline, and his guidance to Zhang Ning should have a significant effect.

Of course, Zhang Ning was reluctant to part with Zhou Tai, and when he heard Shi Xin go to Simei Mountain, his small mouth was raised high. When Zhou Tai said a few words with a calm face, he had no choice but to ride on the little gold and silver with tears in his eyes.

The person was in mid-air, still leaving a sentence: "Zhou Tai, I'll be back soon, you wait for me!"

Shi smiled hard, and the only person who could talk about the upgrade was Zhang Ning. Although her cultivation talent is extremely high, she has never regarded upgrading as a top priority, and has always focused on Zhou Tai, and it is already a miracle that she can reach this height.

Therefore, to push Zhang Ning forward, the key point is still on Zhou Tai. As long as Zhou Tai's level goes up, Zhang Ning will follow in his footsteps.

After sending Zhao Yun and the other four away, Shi Xin began to discuss the issue of escalation with Zhou Tai.

"Youping, your cultivation almost comes from Buddhism, and it is natural to start from this aspect when seeking a breakthrough. I know a little bit about it, but I obviously can't teach you anything. ”

Shi Xin clearly knows his ability, his ambitions, and his desires are on the table, which is thousands of miles away from Buddhism's "no desire, no desire, all beings are equal". Most of his professional attributes, "Dharma", come from the understanding of future generations, and in the final analysis, it all depends on some advanced insight. In terms of the depth of the Dharma alone, it is not as good as Zhou Tai.

If Zhou Tai wants to make a breakthrough, he naturally can't throw out these advanced theories for discussion, because this can easily cause academic confusion, and eventually evolve into self-denial, which outweighs the losses.

The most important thing is to find a person who is advanced in Buddhism and guide Zhou Tai.

Shi Xin's first thought was naturally the old monk Puci, and the second was to quit the monk who was obsessed with greed. If you can't find Puci, you can only send Zhou Tai to the White Horse Temple in Beihai.

It is worth mentioning that the contemporary presiding officer of the White Horse Temple listened to Shi Xin's advice and has been staying in Beihai to promote Buddhism. With his strong support, Shi Xin rebuilt a magnificent temple in Beihai, which was larger than the original Luoyang White Horse Temple, and was named White Horse Temple. In recent years, Buddhism has developed rapidly, and there is an endless stream of worshippers.

Of course, Buddhism is only a supplement to the Holy Religion, and Shi Xin once negotiated with the Ring Idiot that while he gave convenience to the White Horse Temple, the development concept of the White Horse Temple could not exceed the purpose of the Holy Religion.

He has been in charge for many years and has dealt with different officials, so he is naturally well versed in the powerful relationships. Theories such as "the equality of all beings", although it says that everyone is the same in the face of reincarnation all their lives, can easily be understood to mean that everyone is born equal, which undoubtedly challenges the supremacy of the imperial power, and contradicts the theory of the Holy Religion that "the emperor is sent by God to govern the mortal world".

After all, Buddhism is a foreign thing, not as deep-rooted as Confucianism in China, so the main role of Buddhism at present is to teach people to be good, so that the people have another kind of spiritual sustenance. On the other hand, there are many powerful exercises in Buddhism, most of which are defensive exercises, and Shi Xin will also send people with relevant veins to study, and now the White Horse Temple is a stable talent output point.

"In Yecheng that day, did Master Puci reveal his whereabouts?" Shi Xin asked.

Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "At that time, the master only said that when I was promoted to the ninth rank, I would naturally know where to find him. ”

"This ......" Shi Xin has a black line, and the monk just likes to play some inexplicable edges, "Does Youping know where to find him?"

Zhou Tai scratched his head, "The subordinates have no clue. ”

Shi said with a hard smile: "In addition to this sentence, what else did the old monk say? ”

Zhou Tai pondered for a long time, and finally remembered something, "The master also said that he would find a spiritual mountain in the Central Plains that is far away from the hustle and bustle and full of Buddha nature to cultivate. ”

Shi Xin muttered, "Central Plains...... Get away from it all...... Buddha Nature Spirit Mountain ......" suddenly brightened up, "Is it there?"

Zhou Tailian asked why.

Although Shi Xin has a conjecture, he is not sure how many famous mountains and rivers there are in the Central Plains, and the Buddha nature is even more unpredictable. If you look for them one by one according to the experience of later generations, it will take too much time, and Shi Xin can only choose one place according to his own understanding of Puci.

That's - Songshan!

At this time, Buddhism was only introduced to Middle-earth, in addition to the ancestral White Horse Temple, although there are also some branches opened throughout the country, but most of them are very small-scale, so the famous Buddhist mountains in later generations have not been developed.

Compared with Jiuhua Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Putuo Mountain, and Emei Mountain, which were famous Buddhist mountains in later generations, Shi Xin preferred to believe that Puci would choose the address on Song Mountain. This three kingdoms in another world, academic and cultivation are integrated, since the ancestor of Chinese kung fu Bodhidharma took Shaolin Temple as his place of cultivation, there is definitely a reason. Book 8

Moreover, Songshan is in Yongzhou, the closest to Yecheng, if he wants to find a place, he will definitely go to Songshan first.

Shi Xin confessed to everyone and took Zhou Taiwang to Songshan.

Zhou Tai was grateful, now the territory is not peaceful, Cao Cao and Sima Yi are eyeing each other, and Zhuge Liang has been going to Yanzhou non-stop after being upgraded. Shi Xin actually went out in person for his own promotion, and this kindness was too great.

It's just that Zhou Tai has always been wooden, and he only said a few words of gratitude and fell into silence. In fact, he has already secretly made up his mind that he will repay the lord well in the future.

The two of them hurried and arrived near Songshan in just over an hour. According to his memory, Shi Xin found Shaolin Mountain, where the Shaolin Temple was located.

At this time, Shaomuro Mountain had not yet been developed, and there were no people around, so Shi Xin and Zhou Tai headed towards the northern foothills. All the way to see, all the strange mountains and mountains, strange trees and dense forests, from time to time there are birds and beasts chirping sounds, it seems that the quiet and serene here, how can there be a little bit of the prosperous scene of the later generations?

Shi Xin couldn't help but sigh, Venerable Batuo back then really knew how to find a place, this was really a good place to open a mountain and establish a sect. And thinking that after crossing over, he came to Shaomu Mountain earlier than Batuo, and he was secretly a little proud.

Although the scenery on Shaomuro Mountain is picturesque, how can the two of them be in the mood to appreciate it, and their attention is all focused on finding out if there is any trace of human activity.

It's a pity that it backfired, and there wasn't even a footprint around.

"Isn't it here?" Shi Xin was a little discouraged, "If it's not here, where is it?"

Zhou Tai was calm, and there was still a look of surprise on his face.

"Youping, what are you excited about? Shi Xin asked curiously.

"I think the lord should have guessed the right place! As soon as I entered this mountain, I always felt that my mind was quiet, as if all my troubles and desires had been washed away, and this may be the Buddha nature that Master Puci said!"

"Mountains also have Buddha nature?" Shi Xin muttered, but instantly understood the meaning of the words.

Buddha nature is probably the meaning that can arouse people's hearts to become Buddha. It's not hard to understand why, for example, if you look at an oil painting, the mood or content of the painting will resonate with you. Listen to a piece of music, melody or lyrics that will touch you.

A mountain may make people feel majestic and terrifying, but it can also make people feel pure and extraordinary. And Shaomu Mountain just made Zhou Tai feel this way.

But for Shi Xin, the feeling is much weaker. In the final analysis, his intensive study of Buddhism is not as deep as Zhou Tai's.

"Since Youping thinks this is right, let's look carefully!"

Shi Xin took Zhou Tai and entered the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Abbot's Courtyard, the Lixue Pavilion, the Thousand Buddha Hall and other places from the mountain gate of later generations.

After looking through it, I found nothing. Shi Xin and Zhou Tai did not give up, and even Tallinn in the west did not let go, but they still did not see anyone.

"It really doesn't look like it's here, let's go!"

Shi Xin was a little disappointed, and it took half a day to draw water in a bamboo basket.

He was about to go down the mountain, but Zhou Tai stood still.

"Youping?"

Shi Xin looked at him suspiciously.

"My lord, I can't be wrong...... What else is there to note besides the place we just visited?"

Zhou Tai has always been obedient to Shi Xin's words, and he rarely insists on it like this.

"I didn't ...... Hey, we do seem to have forgotten a place. A place popped into Shi Xin's mind, "Is that there?"

There is a five-breasted ‖ peak on the north side of Mt. Shomuro, and there is a famous spot on the south side of the upper part of the middle peak.

Dharma Cave!

As the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in China, Bodhidharma can be said to be the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and even more famous than the founder of the mountain, Batuo. Since you have come to Shaolin Temple, how can you not go to Dharma Cave?

Thinking of that mysterious cave, Shi Xin immediately came to his senses, pulled Zhou Tai and left.
