Chapter IX Vow I
I don't know when, Fang Yuan, the abbot of the Temple of the Dead Life, stood under the Bodhi tree with his hands folded.
The middle-aged man who was made into a phaseless child snorted coldly: "Old man, are the things and people you fancy related to the Buddha?"
Fang Yuan was not angry, and said with a smile: "There is no threshold for Buddhism, only those who are destined to cross." This little benefactor was able to enter my temple of the dead, naturally because of the Buddha's fate. ”
Wuxiangzi smiled playfully: "What's the good of being a bald donkey? What's the use of those tricks? It's just to get the worship of some foolish men and foolish women, under the spear and halberd, it's not a dog of the royal family, and you can kill it if you want to?"
"Amitabha, donors should not be ....... ”
Wuxiangzi's face changed, and his elegant face suddenly became a little more ruthless: "Your master died like a dog, you live like a dog, and you want to spoil Liangcai Meiyu to continue to be a dog?"
"Amitabha, donors should ....... ”
"What about the monk under the spear and halberd? What about the abbot? When I want you to die, you are a dead dog, a dead dog who can't even kick your legs!"
"Shut up!!" Fang Yuan's face twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but let out a loud shout.
Zhang Yuan saw such a scene: with this reprimand, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then the leaves on the tree trembled slightly, disturbing the impetuousness of the qi and blood in the body, and a faint threat spread.
Wuxiangzi smiled indifferently, his face became elegant again, and said: "The trick of Buddhism is good, but I still say the same thing, this can only blind those fools and foolish women, spears and halberds, how loud do you roar?"
"Monk" is the position, and the "abbot" is also a higher position.
The abbot and the abbot are different names in this position, the abbot, the heart of the people, the abbot of the heart of heaven, the abbot, is the meaning of the place of the abbot to live in peace, and the place of the ruler.
After reaching the position of abbot, not only has a long lifespan, but also a hundred years old, his body is spontaneous, and the dust is not touched, and at the same time, his soul is stable, his muscles and bones are strong, and his sword is difficult to hurt.
The invulnerability of the sword is not invulnerability, but the damage dealt is very limited, and despite this, it still cannot resist the crossbow's fire.
Although the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have a high status and master the means to cure diseases, they are still a small role that lingers in the eyes of the real superiors.
As Wuxiangzi Fang just said, Fang Yuan's master died under the order of Emperor Taizong, and the reason was just because he failed to cure the terminally ill prince!
More than 80 years ago, Emperor Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty's most beloved prince was seriously ill, summoned to the abbot of the temple for treatment, but to no avail, was pushed out of the hall and beaten a hundred boards, after the execution, the abbot was safe and sound.
Taizong became more and more angry, and ordered the noon gate to be beheaded, and as a result, the ghost head big knife broke nearly ten in a row before cutting off the head of the abbot at that time.
Then the prince died, Taizong was still angry, and ordered the heavy crossbow to shoot the abbot's body, until there was no good meat on his body!
This is also the original meaning of what Wuxiangzi said, "die like a dog".
Among these two gates, Buddhism cultivates the body, Taoism is good at art, even if there are all kinds of miraculous methods in the eyes of secular people, but there is no fighting and killing skills, so it is still a "dog" ready to be killed at any time under the spear and halberd!
This is the sorrow of all the people in the Taoist Buddhists. Every time a fellow cultivator was humiliated and killed by a family of the government, their great prestige and respect among the people did not play a role in the slightest.
Without him, there is only a weak word.
For murderers in the rivers and lakes like Wuxiangzi, who are often disobedient at every turn and kill officials to take their heads, the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism really have no way out of the future, and they have wasted their talents and beautiful jade.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes, whispered a few words, quickly recovered his complexion, and said with a slight smile: "Old Man saw that you were emotionally unstable, and he couldn't help but be angry, it must be that something went wrong in cultivating the Phaseless Silence Sutra, right?"
The Sutra of Silence is a very powerful mental method, the more you go to the back, the more unstable your mind becomes, and your joy, anger, hatred, and resentment often can't help yourself, and it is not unprecedented.
Wuxiangzi twitched his eyebrows, and said proudly: "What about you? How many more years can you live? Five years, or ten years?"
Fang Yuan looked like he was about fifty years old, his complexion was like middle-aged, but he was actually close to a hundred years old.
Hearing the Phaseless Silence Sutra, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and a sense of familiarity that seemed to be heard of was surging.
Wuxiangzi glanced at him and said, "That's it, the old man won't argue with you, and ask this young man, who is he willing to worship as a teacher?"
Fang Yuan bowed slightly, his eyes also turned to Zhang Yuan, and said in a harmonious voice: "This seat said, you have a relationship with my Buddha, but in fact, you are not lying nonsense. You have a calm heart, not floating or non-frivolous, and the position of an abbot in the future is indispensable. At that time, it is better for everyone to respect than to go to the rivers and lakes and chase and kill the enemies of the government. ”
After a pause, he said: "As for Xiangguo Mansion, you don't have to worry, the old man will cover up for you and fool the past." ”
Wuxiangzi scolded: "You fart, who dares to hunt down and kill the old man's disciple?" and turned to Zhang Yuan again: "Xiangguo Mansion has a grudge against you? That's not a big deal, I don't have a Xiangjian faction, there is only one sword and one heart Sutra, when you are successful in cultivation, find the door, one sword, no one can stop you!"
Fang Yuan snorted: "Why didn't the donor say that he would enter the palace? That Xiangguo Mansion enshrined a master is not counted, how can one or two people be able to kill it? At that time, the arrows will be all at once, and even if you run, you won't be able to escape!"
"A bald donkey without guts! It is better for a warrior to die in battle than to be slaughtered to death like a dog!"
"Wuxiangzi, what are you asking for this time?" Fang Yuan suddenly snapped.
"The old man is coming to you for treatment!" Wuxiangzi blurted out, and immediately reacted, his face turned red.
Fang Yuan recited the Buddha's name, smiling without saying a word.
Seeing this, there was a hint of determination in Wuxiangzi's eyes: "Boy, with this bald donkey or with the old man, you can make a decision! If you follow the old man, you will die of this injury, and I will take you back to the mountain!"
Wuxiangzi has a grudge with the Daomen, so he can only come to Buddhism to seek medical treatment, but he didn't expect to see Cai's joy, and he didn't care about anything.
I don't know when, Zhang Yuanfu picked up the broom again, and carefully cleaned the bluestone slab that was already clean, with a serious expression, as if there were really a lot of dirty things on the ground.
Hearing Wuxiangzi's question, he turned around, bowed with his palm, bowed his head and said, "The disciple is willing to practice Buddhism and martial arts." ”
According to his heart, he has an inexplicable yearning and affection for martial arts, but for some reason, there is always a thought in his heart calling to choose Buddhism, as if this is the right path.
Wei Yi hesitated, and simply chose both sides.
The two of them were dumbfounded, looking at each other for a while, Fang Yuan sighed and admonished: "Of all things in the world, only by concentrating can we achieve something, if we are distracted in two places, we can only achieve nothing." ”
Wuxiangzi regained his elegant temperament, and said lightly: "Boy, do you know that the Phaseless Extinction Sutra of this sect, the old man has been cultivating for thirty years wholeheartedly, and now he has not reached the point of perfection?"
This is a clear statement, anything, only by concentration and unswerving determination can the water drop through the stone, everything you want to get, everything you want to try, it will only be mixed but not refined, and nothing can be achieved.
Although Zhang Yuan bowed his head to receive training, his expression was flat and obviously unmoved.
"Master, senior, kid just wants to know, the unity of Buddhism and martial arts, can all those royal families be beaten into the mud of the dung toilet!"
The sound is not loud, but it is like thunder in the clouds, grand and lofty, and has won the essence of Zen singing.
As soon as the words came out, the two of them were shocked!
