Chapter 112: Arhats and Immortals
Another said: "The poor monk shaves his hair and doesn't want water, but there is a stone bench here, so it's good to be here." Then there was the sound of rustling, and I thought that these people would sit down slowly.
Xiao Dongshan held on to the bed, then the table and chairs, slowly walked to the window, looked out, it turned out that there was a bright pingtai outside, there was a road from below, and there was a road to the top, there was indeed a well in the middle of the pingtai, and there was a stone table and four stone benches not far from the well. A monk sat on a stone bench, and behind him stood a monk, and two others stood below. The sitting monk was in his forties, with a graceful appearance and extraordinary bearing, it was the monk who called Lili "sister" that day, and the standing monk was of medium to short stature, a few years older than the sitting monk, not fat or thin, with roe deer eyes, which made people indescribably disgusted at first glance. The two people who stood with their heads bowed were dressed as farmers, one was a thick-bearded man who had seen chopping wood the day before, and the other was in his forties, but he was white-faced and weak, and for some reason, his forehead was full of blood. Although these two people are clothed and linen shoes, they have a moderate demeanor and have their own elegance, they are said to be servants, how can there be such a servant in the world?
I only heard the sitting monk say, "Master Qiqi, please start." The standing monk said, "Have you thought about it?" The sitting monk said, "This is my best destination, and I am very pleased!" Xiao Dongshan thought secretly: "Shave your head, say it so solemnly?" ”
The white-faced and weak farmer fell to his knees and said with tears streaming down his face: "Master, please think twice! He kowtowed as he spoke! His head was like pounding garlic, and after a while his head was covered with blood, and it turned out that the blood on his head came from this way. The sitting monk smiled and said, "Needless to say, this is exactly what I want!" The thick-bearded man said: "The king's will has been decided, the villain does not dare to say more, I should go from the king to the underworld, and I will also lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for you." The sitting monk stood up, walked to the two farmers, patted them lightly on the shoulder, and said, "I have been a monk for more than ten years, so I am not afraid of any ghosts and gods, so you don't have to worry." I have not failed the people of the world, and I have died a worthy death today, and I am even more worthy of my heart, so you two don't have to go to the underworld to accompany me, stay in the world and guard my tomb! ”
Xiao Dongshan was surprised when he heard this.
The standing monk said, "Amitabha, it's begun!" As he spoke, he reached out and touched the head of the sitting monk. The sitting monk had half an inch of hair on his head, and his scalp could no longer be seen, so he must have not shaved it for some days. The standing monk touched his head lightly a few times, and then slowly raised his hand, only to see the black hair scum rising up casually, like iron filings being sucked up by a magnet, revealing a shiny bald head underneath! The standing monk grabbed the dregs in his hands, walked to the side and threw his hair into the grass.
Xiao Dongshan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that there was such a miracle in the world! This monk actually relied purely on internal strength to shave his short hair cleanly without hurting his scalp in the slightest! Such a pure internal strength is unheard of by Xiao Dongshan, and he can't even think of it! I looked at this monk with a roe deer and rat eyes before, and I was quite disgusted, but now I look at this monk again, and it is clear that he is an Arhat!
The sitting monk touched his bald head and said, "Amitabha, Master Qi is a true god!" It's a blessing to be able to shave the last time under the master! As he spoke, he stood up and walked up the mountain, followed by the other three, only to hear Master Qi Qi whisper, "If I smell it." For a while, the Buddha was defending the country, and the tree was given to the lonely garden. With the great bhikshu monks, 1,250 people, all of them are great arhats, and all the knowledge: Elder Sariputta, Mahamu Gandha, Mahakalya, Mahajayan, Mahakura, Libharta, Zhoulipandha, Nanda, Ananda, Rahula, Bhavan Boti, Bintou Lupola, Kaliudhaya, Mahajabina, Bokhara, Analou, and so on.......
Xiao Dongshan opened the door, walked out slowly, slowly walked to the stone bench and sat down to rest, and found the handful of hair scum that Master Qi Qi threw down just now and looked at it, it was really not a dream! He has always been a little conceited, knowing that his martial arts are the best among his peers, and he will make some achievements in martial arts in the future, and this pride is sometimes the source of his fortitude in the face of various difficulties, then he will think, I am the most outstanding person, I should face the most difficult situation, I was born to be able to do what others cannot! That's right, pride makes people strong! But at this time, this pride was suddenly thrown into the grass like the scum of hair crushed by Master Qi Qi! It turns out that he is so small, just like an ant who does not know the strength of a lion tiger!
This shaking shook in his heart for a long time, and finally slowly calmed down.
He stood up and looked at the place where he had slept last night, which had been three meditation rooms built on the mountainside. A look at the road, far away to see the mountain under the more than ten tiled houses surrounded together, it turned out that this place is not far from the day fainted to the ground, and then look at the road, there seems to be a Taoist temple on the high mountain in the distance.
He was thinking about Lili in his heart, and wanted to go up and take a look and ask others how Lili was doing. So I went up, walked more than ten zhang away, my feet were weak, I stopped to rest for a while, and then continued to climb up, looking up at the Taoist temple, but I couldn't see it, it turned out that it was covered by trees. Just as he was about to try again, yesterday the boy ran from above, grabbed him, jumped straight to his feet, and looked very angry, meaning to blame him for not having a good rest. He pulled Xiao Dongshan's shirt and walked down, Xiao Dongshan saw that it was really not easy for him to climb up, so he had to go back to the room with the boy, and the boy served him to wash and eat without mentioning.
After another night, as soon as the morning dawned, Xiao Dongshan came to the mountain after washing, he felt much better than yesterday, his legs were no longer weak, although it was still a little difficult to climb high, he still climbed up after all. The Taoist temple is not big, and there is no nameplate plaque, looking along the path next to the Taoist temple, there is originally a road to go up, I don't know if there are still houses on it.
Entering the Taoist temple, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a person standing in front of the door of the main hall looking up at the sky from a distance, and the morning light shone on the body of this Taoist person, and the Taoist was like melting into the sun. As soon as Xiao Dongshan came in, the man didn't look back, and asked, "You say, how do you take out the light outside the red and purple?" You say, how much does the sun weigh in this courtyard? ”
Xiao Dongshan couldn't answer, how could he have thought about such a question? He took two steps forward like a goose and stood still, and then the Taoist turned his head. Xiao Dongshan saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like a star, and he was a fairy in his bones, but he was in his forties, and he couldn't help but be stunned, only to feel that his appearance and demeanor were far from being like this, and he was ashamed.
This humane: "You are Xiao Shaoxia, very good, very good, not bad." Saying that, he walked over and patted Xiao Dongshan's shoulder gently, Xiao Dongshan only felt a warmth on his body, like warm water, and it was fleeting. He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Junior Xiao Dongshan, I have seen my seniors. The man nodded lightly and said, "It's a good boy!" ”
Xiao Dongshan asked: "Senior, where is Lili?" How is she now? This man said: "You are so intimate with her that you call her by her first name!" Xiao Dongshan lowered his head. Dao said: "This child is naughty, and this time she broke into a big disaster, and it was also her catastrophe." Xiao Dongshan listened to his tone, like a detached family member, so he boldly asked: "You haven't asked Dao Changxian yet, who are you?" Dao Daodao: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao Purple Void Son, Divorce, Self is my daughter." Xiao Dongshan sighed secretly: "Only such a father can give birth to such a good daughter!" It's just that this family is too strange, my father is a Taoist priest, my brother is a monk, this father looks a few years older than my brother, does it really have the art of immortality? ”
