Chapter 379: Seven Sufferings
Life is short, bittersweet and bittersweet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Longitudinal comparison, in each person's different stages of life, sometimes bitter, sometimes happy. Some people suffered a lot when they were young, and they were happier when they grew up, while some people were soaked in honey pots since they were young, but when they grew up, they had a bad fate and suffered a lot.
Horizontal comparison, at the same moment, some people are in pain to die and live, while others are so happy that they are fluttering.
In the world of "Dragon Babu", among the three sworn brothers, the happiest one at the moment is naturally Li Shuchong, who has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals and enjoyed the blessings of all people.
In contrast, his two brothers-in-law had their own troubles.
There are seven sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and unwantedness.
Suffering in life: In the world of life, entering the cycle of reincarnation, all kinds of sufferings come one after another, so life is suffering.
The second old suffering: the strength is declining, the spirit is declining, the color and body are decaying, and the day of the prime of life is no more, this is the old suffering.
Three diseases and suffering: physical illness afflicts the five senses, and heart disease afflicts the mind, which is sickness and suffering.
Four Death Suffering: The limit of human beings is approaching, if the candle will be extinguished, or the life will be exhausted, or the natural and man-made disasters will die, this is the death suffering.
Resentment will be bitter: Hatred and hatred, lingering, but gathering, this is said to be bitter.
The above five sufferings are all suffering.
Love and separation from suffering: life and death are impermanent, gathering and scattering are uncertain, and loved ones cannot coexist, which is love and separation from suffering.
Ask for no suffering: All things in the world, there is love and happiness in the heart but cannot be sought, and this name cannot be striking.
The above two kinds of suffering belong to bad suffering.
Suffering is the suffering caused by cold, heat, hunger, thirst, and other suffering, which is equivalent to physical and physical suffering. This also includes suffering due to sickness, whipping, rods, knives, and so on.
Bad suffering is the suffering that arises from the deterioration of happiness, which is equivalent to psychological and spiritual suffering. Mental pain such as loss of money, damage to reputation, death of a loved one, etc.
In this way, the suffering of the second brother Duan Yu is mainly "love parting" and "can't beg". Of course, the "love parting" here does not mean Wang Yuyan, it is just a hot thing for him to shave his head and pick his head, it is just wishful thinking, and it belongs to "asking for it". The one who really loves him is his titular sister, Mu Wanqing. However, since Mu Wanqing was forced to leave again, Duan Yu hadn't seen her for a long time.
And the eldest brother Qiao Feng is in the torment of "life suffering" and "death suffering" at the moment, and is under the double blow of "love parting" and "can't beg", which is really miserable.
Therefore, Li Shuchong activated the "shuttle" spell and took five beautiful wives and concubines to Shaolin Temple. After settling Wumei down, he hid in the night sky, silently paying attention to the suffering Brother Qiao Feng.
......
......
In the Shaolin Temple,
Outside the meditation room.
He could only hear a deep voice speaking, and Qiao Feng could understand that it was his apprentice master, Master Xuanku, but he said: "On the day of my junior brother's ordination, the first master named me Xuanku. The Buddha said that the seven sufferings, the younger brother tried his best to get rid of these seven sufferings, but he could only cross himself, not others, and he was ashamed. The suffering of this 'resentment society' is a necessary state in life. If you are planted by karma, you should have this karmic retribution. When all the senior brothers and junior brothers see me repay this karma, they should rejoice for me. Qiao Feng listened to his voice calmly, but what he said was all Buddhist language, and he didn't know what he meant.
Li Shuchong secretly sighed, adding up the seven sufferings, the words are only thirteen, but how many years does it take to get rid of these sufferings? Even though the master of Xuanku in "The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon" is a high-ranking monk, has he completely liberated himself from the seven sufferings? Surely not! Otherwise, his expression on the occasion of his death ...... Looking at the vast number of living beings in "Dragon Babu", there are many heroes and heroes, but they are even more entangled in grievances, and almost no one has been freed from all sufferings, which can be said to be the true meaning of the seven sufferings, and it can be seen that it is difficult to get rid of the seven sufferings!
Not to mention anything else, "birth" suffering is unavoidable. It is often said that "reincarnation is a technical job", which means that when people are born, they are born with the distinction between rich and poor, and their appearance is different from whether they are disabled or ugly, and this is only a part of "life suffering".
......
......
In his thoughts, he listened to the majestic voice and said: "Senior Brother Xuanbei died at the hands of a traitor a few months ago, let's go all out to chase the murderer, it seems to violate my Buddha's precept not to be angry and not to be angry." However, the purpose of subduing demons and punishing adultery is to save the world, and my generation has learned martial arts, and the original intention is to macro the law, learn from my Buddha's great compassion, and relieve the suffering of sentient beings......"
Qiao Feng said in his heart: "The person with this majestic voice must be Master Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple." Just listen to him continue: "...... Except for one devil, it is to save countless people in the world. Senior brother, is that person Gusu Murong?"
Qiao Feng thought to himself: "This matter is entangled in the Gusu Murong clan again. I heard that Master Xuanbei of the Shaolin Sect was plotted against in the territory of Dali, do they also suspect that it was a poisonous hand of Murong Gongzi?"
I only heard Master Xuanku say: "Senior Brother Abbot, the junior brother does not want to let the senior brother and all the senior brothers worry about me, so as to increase my karma even more. If that person can put down the butcher's knife, he will naturally turn back, and if he is obsessed, alas, he will also suffer in vain. Needless to say, what this person looks like. ”
Master Xuanci, the abbot, said: "Yes, the junior brother is very high-minded, and he is too persistent to be a senior brother, and he is quite inferior. Xuan said bitterly: "The little brother wants to sit quietly for a while and meditate on repentance." Xuan Ci said: "Yes, senior brother, take care." ”
I only heard the door open, and a tall and thin old monk walked out slowly. He walked out of the Zhangxu, and there were 17 monks in total. The eighteen monks all folded their hands and bowed their heads in silent recitation, with solemn expressions.
When the monks were far away, the room was silent, Qiao Feng was frightened by the surrounding situation, and did not dare to appear and knock on the door for a while, and suddenly heard Master Xuanku say: "The good guest is far away, why can't he linger?"
Qiao Feng was taken aback and thought to himself: "I hold my breath, even if others are close to me, they may not be able to detect that I am sneaking here." Master's ear is like this, and the internal cultivation is really deserved. At that moment, he respectfully walked to the door and said, "Master is fine, disciple Qiao Feng knocks on Master." ”
Xuan Ku said softly, "Ahh The voice was full of joy.
Qiao Feng was overjoyed, rushed forward, then knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The disciple usually rarely serves, and the master is worried about it. Master Qingjian, the child is overjoyed. As he spoke, he raised his head and looked up at Xuan Ku.
Master Xuanku was originally smiling, but when he saw Qiao Feng's face under the light of the oil lamp, his face suddenly changed greatly, he stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... It turns out that it's you, you're Qiao Feng, I'm ...... A good disciple I trained with my own hands?" but saw that his face was full of horror, pain, and deep pity and regret.
Qiao Feng saw that the master's expression was very different in an instant, and he was extremely surprised in his heart, and said, "Master, the child is Qiao Feng." ”
Master Xuanku said, "Good, good, good!" He said three "good" words in a row, and then stopped talking.
Qiao Feng didn't dare to ask again, waiting for him to have any lessons and instructions, and after waiting for a long time, Master Xuanku remained silent. When Qiao Feng looked at his face again, he saw that the muscles on his face were stiff and motionless, and his expression was exactly the same as that of Shicai, so he couldn't help but be startled, and reached out to touch his palm, but he felt quite cold, and he was busy probing his snort again, and it turned out that he had been out of breath for a long time. At this moment, Qiao Feng was only stunned with fright, and his mind was in chaos: "As soon as Master saw me, he was scared to death? But he didn't dare to look at his body.
He made up his mind and made up his mind: "If I quietly avoid it at this moment, how can it be Qiao Feng's deeds of a good man? Today's matter, even if it is dangerous, I should inquire about it." He walked outside the house and shouted loudly, "Master Abbot, Master Xuanku has passed away, Master Xuanku has passed away." These two calls were transmitted far away, the valley rang, and the temple heard it. Although the cry is strong, it is extremely sad.
Li Shuchong, who was watching from the night sky, felt the same way and knew that this was the pain of "love parting". Life is originally less gathering and more separation, and the pain of "love and parting" is a kind of persistent suffering, which is difficult for ordinary people to see. The warmth of family love, the heat of lovers' love, and the mellow love of friends are all extremely difficult to give up. It's just that when I dream back at midnight, how can this taste of "love and parting" be a "bitter" word?
......
......
Abbot Xuanci and the others had not yet returned to their respective rooms, and when they heard Qiao Feng's call, they turned around together and walked quickly back to the "Taoist Academy". I saw a big man standing next to the courtyard gate, stretching out his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and all the monks felt strange. Xuan Ci Heshi asked, "Who is the donor?" He was concerned about Xuan Ku's safety, and without waiting for Qiao Feng to answer, he rushed into the house, only to see Xuan Ku standing still, and he was even more stunned. All the monks entered together, bowed their heads, and recited the scriptures.
Qiao Feng finally entered the house, knelt on the ground and made a secret wish: "Master, the disciple is late to report the news, and you have been poisoned." The hatred between the disciple and the traitor deepened. Even though the disciple has gone through all kinds of difficulties, he must find this traitor to break the body into thousands of pieces and avenge his teacher. ”
Abbot Xuanci finished reciting the scriptures, looked at Qiao Feng, and asked, "Who is the donor?"
Qiao Feng said: "Disciple Qiao Feng, when the disciple saw the master pass away, he was so sad that he alarmed the abbot. ”
When Xuan Ci heard Qiao Feng's name, he was taken aback, his body trembled, a strange look appeared on his face, and he stared at him for a long time before he said, "Donor, you...... You...... You're the beggars...... Former gang leader?"
Qiao Feng heard him say the words "the former leader of the beggar gang", and thought to himself: "The information on the rivers and lakes is spreading so fast, he knows that I am no longer the leader of the beggar gang, and he also knows the reason why I was expelled from the beggar gang." He said, "Exactly." ”
Xuan Ci said: "Why did the donor break into our temple at night?
Qiao Feng had a thousand words in his heart, and he didn't know how to say it for a while, so he had to say: "Master Xuanku is the disciple's karmic teacher, but I don't know what kind of injury my teacher has suffered, who is the poisoner?"
Abbot Xuanci wept and said: "Senior Brother Xuanku was attacked by someone, and he ate a heavy hand in his chest, his ribs were broken, his five organs were broken, and he relied on his deep internal strength, which supported him until this moment." We asked him who the enemy was, and he said we didn't know him, and we asked him how old the murderer was. However, he said that the seven sufferings of Buddhism, the 'Resentment Sangha Society' is one of the sufferings, and since he met the enemy of the enemy, he was just liberated, and he never said anything about the appearance of the murderer. ”
Qiao Feng suddenly realized: "It turns out that the monks of Shicai know that the master is seriously injured, and they chant the Buddha to send him back to the west. He said with tears in his eyes: "All the eminent monks are merciful and do not hold grudges. The disciple is a layman, so he must catch the murderer and avenge the master with a thousand knives. Your temple is heavily guarded, I wonder how the murderer can break in?"
Xuan Ci groaned and didn't answer, and a short old monk suddenly said coldly: "The donor broke into Shaolin, we couldn't stop it, and of course the murderer can go on his own, as if he was in a no-man's land." ”
Qiao Feng bowed down and clenched his fists, and said: "The disciple is urgent, and he is too late to report and ask for a meeting outside the mountain gate, which is rude, and I beg all the masters to forgive me." The disciple has a deep relationship with the Shaolin faction, and he will never dare to take offense lightly. His last two sentences mean that if the Shaolin faction loses face, I will also lose face, knowing that I broke into the Shaolin backyard, until I called myself, no one realized it, and this matter will spread out, and the face of the Shaolin faction will be greatly damaged.
At this moment, a little novice walked into the room with a bowl of steaming medicine and said to the corpse of Xuan Ku, "Master, please take medicine." He was a novice who served Xuanku, and he decocted a healing elixir "Nine Turns of Rejuvenation Soup" in the "Medicine King Temple" and sent it to the master. When he saw that Xuan Ku was standing upright, he did not know that he was dead. Qiao Feng was sad in his heart, and choked up: "Master, he ......"
The little novice turned his head to look at him, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's you......!" Here we go again!" There was a choking sound, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground by mistake, and the porcelain pieces and medicinal juice were scattered and splashed in all directions. The little novice jumped back two steps, leaned against the wall, and screamed, "It's him, it's him who injured Master!"
When he shouted this, everyone was shocked. Qiao Feng was even more frightened, and said loudly: "What did you say?" The little novice was only twelve or thirteen years old, and when he saw Qiao Feng, he was very scared, so he hid behind Abbot Xuanci, grabbed his sleeve, and shouted: "Abbot, abbot!" Xuanci said: "Qingsong, don't be afraid, you said okay, you said that he beat the master?" Master, Master, you fight him back. "Until this moment, he didn't know that Xuan Ku was dead.
Abbot Xuanci said: "You have to look carefully, don't recognize the wrong person." Qingsong said: "I can see it clearly, he is wearing a gray cloth straight embellished, a square face, eyebrows are upturned like this, big mouth and big ears, it is him, Master, you hit him, you hit him." ”
Qiao Feng felt a chill pouring down his back, and said in his heart: "Yes, that murderer is pretending to be me to blame me." When the master heard that I was back, he was very happy, but when he saw my face and saw that I looked like the murderer who injured him, he said, 'It turns out that it is you, you are Qiao Feng, a good disciple trained by my own hands. Master and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and my appearance has long been different since I became an adult. ”
Thinking of the three "good" words that Master Xuanku said before he died, he was as sincere as a knife: "Master is heavy-handed, but he doesn't know who the enemy is, but when he sees me, he recognizes that I am similar to the murderer, and he is very sad in his heart, and he dies in mourning." Master was seriously injured and was already dying, so he would not think about it: If it was really me who harmed him, why did I come to see him again a second time? ”
Suddenly, I heard the commotion of people, and a group of people rushed quickly, but they stopped outside the "Enlightenment Temple". The two monks bowed down and came in respectfully, it was the two monks who had fought with Qiao Feng at the foot of Shaomu Mountain. The monk who held the precepts only said: "Tell the abbot ......" and saw Qiao Feng, with a look of surprise and anger on his face, I don't know why he is here. The rest of the monks also raised their eyebrows and glared at Qiao Feng fiercely.
Abbot Xuanci looked solemn and said slowly: "Although the benefactor is no longer in the beggar gang, he is a famous figure in the martial arts. Today, I came to our temple and shot to kill the Xuanku junior brother, I don't know why I came, and I still hope to give advice. ”
Qiao Feng sighed, bowed to the ground at Xuan Ku's corpse, and said, "Master, when you were dying, you also said that it was your disciple who harmed you, so that you died of hatred. Although the disciple never dared to offend the master, it was because of the disciple that the traitor caused the harm. It is not a pity for the disciple to die today to thank the master, but from now on, the master's great revenge will not be avenged. The disciple has committed the dignity of Shaolin, and the master complains. He exhaled twice and exhaled two long breaths. The two oil lamps in the hall went out in response, and it was pitch black.
When Qiao Feng prayed, he had already calculated a way out of his heart. As soon as he blew out the oil lamp, he slammed his left hand on the vest of the monk, this palm was full of feminine power, which did not hurt his internal organs, but slapped his fat body through the hall and broke out of the door.
In the dark, the monks heard the rumors, and Qiao Feng went out to escape, and each used a grappling technique to catch the monk. All the monks are in general mind, and they don't want to beat Qiao Feng to death with a heavy hand, so they want to arrest and interrogate in detail, why did he kill Master Xuanku. These more than ten monks are the first-rate masters of Shaolin Temple. The first-rate good hand of Shaolin Temple is also the first-rate good hand in the martial arts, and each person's grappling technique is different, but each has its own uniqueness. All of a sudden, the dragon snatcher, the eagle claw hand, the tiger claw gong, the vajra finger, and the stone palm...... All kinds of Shaolin school's most clever grasping techniques are caught on the monks who keep the law. The martial arts of the senior monks are also really good, just listening to the wind in the dark, and the shot is not bad. The law-keeping monk has suffered enough at this time, and in an instant, his body is about to be covered with all kinds of grasping techniques, and his body is hanging in the air, and he can't make a sound, this kind of experience, I am afraid that no one has ever suffered since ancient times.
These monks have deep experience and have a good way to deal with them, and some people even flew up to the house to guard the roof. In all the passages and the front and back doors of the monastery, there were master monks occupying important places in a few moments. Not to mention that Qiao Feng is a big man, he is incarnated as a raccoon cat and mouse, and it is difficult to escape even if he is afraid.
Xiao Shami Qingsong took the flint of the fire knife and lit the oil lamp in the hall, and the monks immediately realized that they had caught the wrong monk.
The first master of the Dharma Monastery handed down an order, and the monks of the whole temple should stay where they were and not move. The monks all thought that no matter how bold Qiao Feng was, he would never dare to break into the tiger's den in the dragon pool of Shaolin Temple alone to kill people.
More than a dozen senior monks in the monastery and a group of monks led by ordained monks searched all over the vicinity of the monastery, and almost every stone was turned over, and every patch of grass was beaten with sticks. In this way, although the great monks said that they were compassionate and had the virtue of a good life, they also injured a lot of toads, gophers, grasshoppers, and ants.
After being busy for more than an hour, they just didn't dig up the land, but where could they find Qiao Feng? Everyone was smacking, calling it strange, and occasionally they couldn't help but utter a few abusive words, although the Ten Precepts of Buddhism abstained from "evil words", they couldn't take care of it. At that time, the Dharma body of Master Xuanku was moved into the "Relic Temple" for cremation, and the law-abiding monks were sent to the "Medicine King Temple" to treat their injuries with medicine. The monks hung their heads and were relatively silent, and they all felt that their faces were really embarrassed this time. The masters of Shaolin Temple are like clouds, with the prestige of the martial arts of these more than ten monks, each of them is well-known in the martial arts, and it actually makes Qiao Feng bare-handed and alone, not to mention killing and arresting, even how he escapes, he can't even figure out the slightest brain.
It turned out that Qiao Feng expected the accident together, and the group of monks must have pursued it everywhere, but in the room where he gathered, he would never care, so after slapping the law monk with a palm, his body shrank, and quietly got under the bed where Master Xuanku slept before his death, inserted ten fingers into the bed board, and his body was close to the bed board. Although some people had glanced under the bed in a hurry, they could not see him. When Master Xuanku's Dharma body was removed, the deacon monk closed the door of the monastery, and no one came in.
Qiao Feng lay at the bottom of the bed, and heard the group of monks disturbing for half the night, and the voices gradually subsided, thinking: "Wait until dawn, it's not easy to get out, don't leave at this time, when will you stay?"
I thought that although the voices of the people had stopped at this moment, how could the senior monks of Shaolin stop and relax their vigilance? The Taoist Institute is in the extreme west of the Shaolin Temple, so they only need to go further west, that is, enter Cong Mountain. As long as he left the Shaolin Temple, the group of monks was scattered, and even if he encountered it, he would not be able to intercept him. But he didn't want to do anything with the Shaolin monks, and only hoped that he would catch the real culprit in the future and bring it into the temple to explain the reason. Today, if you do more with one monk and win more than one person, you will have one more senseless enemy, and if you miss and hurt people and kill people, it will be even more unimaginable. He disappeared in the west of the temple, and the monks guarded it most strictly, which must be the various mountain paths leading to Shaomuro Mountain in the west of the temple. He thought about it a little, and thought that the safest way was to pass through the temple and leave the temple from the east.
Li Shuchong knew that Qiao Feng's heart must be extremely painful at this moment. On the one hand, it was because his adoptive father and adoptive mother and mentor had left one after another within a day, and on the other hand, he found that his fate was extremely unfair: he just wanted an ordinary Han peasant child, but even if he was born and died, he tried his best to "ask for it".
There are two kinds of "unwanted" that are most afraid in the world, one is "gain and then lose", and the other is "unattainable", and he actually took them all!
I just want to be a poor Han farmer's child, how can it be so difficult?
Life is miserable, seven bitter lives......
