Cao Quan is a famous master in Cishou Village.

He is a master and a good person, it is rumored that he asked the Buddha in his early years, he is a doctor and a witch, can drive away ghosts and evils, and incurable diseases such as gout and sores are also medicine to eliminate diseases, and his reputation is very good.

There is a strange temple in Cishou Village, the image of this temple is grotesque and weird, not between the Buddha and the road, before Cao Quan comes, this strange temple is extremely desolate, the fox does not settle down, the swallow does not build a nest, according to the strong ghost entrenched, suck people Yangshou.

After Cao Quan came, he summoned ten bold villagers to help exorcise evil spirits, under the eyes of everyone, Cao Quan held a talisman and recited scriptures, and the Buddha's light fell straight down in an instant, and the ghost brake was broken and bright like glass, and the blue and gray ghosts in the temple collapsed when they met the light, and died tragically.

Since then, the strange temple is no longer weird, Cao Quan sits in it, and the incense is endless.

Springtime.

The trees are full of flowers, the fields are green, and Cao Quan is sitting in the temple, dressed in a non-Buddhist and non-Taoist dress. He was napping when someone came to see him.

"The gold pendant is my daughter-in-law's beloved thing, she didn't go anywhere, she woke up and disappeared for no reason, the servants at home searched for two days, and couldn't find it, and asked the master to help." The person who came was a well-known rich peasant in Cishou Village.

Cao Quan glanced at the image behind him as usual, the rich peasants understood, and immediately bought incense to burn, this incense is thick and big, the price is expensive, and it is even more misty when burned, Cao Quan looks mediocre, and is a little lame, but he is lined by this hideous statue, but he really looks like a master.

After the incense was burned, Cao Quan made a hexagram, telling him that the gold pendant had been taken away by a mouse, and told him the approximate location.

After thanking him, the rich peasants were spitting out, and it seemed that there was still a time when they were in trouble, but Cao Quan let him do nothing.

The rich peasant told him that one of his relatives had recently been ill with a strange disease, and that he had invited many doctors to see it badly, and that he hoped that the master would go and see it, and that he would give him a lot of money.

The reason why Cao Quan's reputation is good is also because when he treated and practiced medicine, he never took money from the poor, and after the poor man recovered from his illness, he wanted to repay him with a thousand thanks, but he only had your treatment money, and the rich people in the village had already paid for you.

Cao Quan is a good man, a good man will not refuse to help others, he is also a good man, a master will not refuse incurable diseases, he went to this relative's house with the rich peasant.

The family's surname is Kang, it is a relative of the rich peasants who came to the countryside, a few years ago, the dispute between the local guests was particularly fierce, they finally gained a firm foothold, Master Kang is old, often in a trance, someone wants to give him Gu, half a month ago he drank a glass of wine, said that there is Gu in the wine, and he has been sick since then.

"Gu worms are afraid of chickens, rent a black feather chicken, I can cast a spell to let it peck away the Gu poison." Cao Quan.

"Black-feathered chicken? Where to find such chickens? "The Kang family is helpless.

"If you look for it with your heart, you can always find it." Cao Quan said lightly.

Sure enough, the servants of the Kang family went out to look for it, and really found a black feather chicken, the chicken seller was a thin little girl, this is the chicken she rescued from the mountains when she was a child, she raised it since she was a child, and treated it like a parent, and now her mother is seriously ill, she has to take it out and sell it.

The Kang family spent a lot of money to rent this black feather chicken, Cao Quan took a talisman, a black feather, soaked in water, and let Mr. Kang take it together.

After Master Kang recovered from his illness, he took his family and servants to burn incense together, and Cao Quan became more famous.

It's just that when Master Kang thanked him, he said a sentence that lingered in Cao Quan's heart and was always unforgettable:

"The virtue of the master is comparable to that of the Holy Bodhisattva."

Holy Bodhisattva ......

There is a mountain on the side of Cishou Village, named Guangning Mountain, there is a small Buddha temple on the mountain, there is no fame in the past, there is little incense, in February this year, a girl suddenly came to the mountain, to worship the Buddha, in addition to her, she also brought a teenager with her, but it is rumored that the boy is unconscious, as if he is a living dead. Some people are her brothers, and some people are her husbands.

In March, there are evil tigers in the mountains and forests, feed on people, she enters the mountains and forests to subdue the evil tigers, collect them as mounts, the people thank them, the troubles in the mountains are not only tigers and leopards, she understands in her heart, a few days later, the bandits in the area of Guangning Mountain were uprooted, and several of the first evil people marched on the street, all of them were beheaded.

The people don't know her name, but only call her the Holy Bodhisattva.

After the holy Bodhisattva sat in the Tibetan scripture pavilion, retreat and read the scriptures, but the poor people sought medical consultation, she never refused, and some people pretended to be sick and sold miserably, wanting to seek benefits, were all broken by the holy Bodhisattva one by one, expelled from the mountain by the monks, and today, although only two months have passed, but the reputation of the holy Bodhisattva has been the same for a while.

The second time Cao Quan heard this sentence was after helping a man cure his illness, which was contaminated by Yanliuhua Lane, and the man begged Cao Quan not to make a noise, especially not to tell his wife.

After Cao Quan agreed, the man: "The master's kindness is so important that he has not allowed the holy bodhisattva." ”

Cao Quan nodded slightly, he was not in a hurry to leave, but paced in the man's house for a while, he looked left and right, and asked: "I see that your family is quite wealthy, why is it so deserted, there is no man and half woman?" ”

When the man heard this, he lowered his head and told the truth that he had been married to his wife for many years, and somehow it was difficult to have children, and they had many quarrels for this.

"Why don't you take a concubine?" Cao Quan asked.

The man hung his head, his wife's mother's house was powerful, they built this house, and they built the field, and he quarreled with his wife everywhere, and he didn't dare to go to her mother's house.

With that, the man's eyes lit up, he looked at the lame man in front of him, and asked tentatively: "Does the master have a way?" ”

"Isn't there a Buddhist temple on Guangning Mountain, isn't there a Buddha temple in the Buddha temple to send a son Guanyin? You didn't go bye-bye? Cao Quan asked.

"I've already worshipped, and the incense has burned a lot, but I haven't seen a drum in my belly at all." Men are embarrassed.

"Isn't there a holy bodhisattva on the mountain?" Cao Quan asked again.

The man didn't dare to speak, he knew how powerful the holy Bodhisattva was, although the holy Bodhisattva was good, but his eyes were ruthless, and he was even more taboo because of the disease of the smoke willow, how could he dare to meet him, I am afraid that the temple gate was expelled by the monk with a stick before he stepped in.

"If you are a bodhisattva, but you can't even do it to purify sentient beings, how can you become a Buddha?" Cao Quan spoke nonchalantly.

The man didn't dare to respond, and only after a moment did he cautiously say: "The master has the virtue of purifying all sentient beings. ”

Cao Quan nodded lightly, took out a piece of talisman paper, and asked him to swallow the water for his wife and children, and then let her come to the temple alone to meet after dark, and he would give her a son.

The man's face flashed with a trace of strangeness, but he didn't dare to ask more, took the rune paper with both hands, and hurriedly responded.

Back in the temple and closing the temple door, Cao Quan fell silent.

After a while, a dark shadow walked out from behind the idol and asked, "Have you received an invitation from the Ci Lao Ye family?" ”

"Roger." Cao Quan nodded.

"Okay, when we steal the Buddha treasure of Master Ci's house, let's leave quickly." Shadow.

"What's the hurry?" Cao Quan.

"Of course you're not in a hurry, I'll do all the bad things of stealing things, you're the one who is good and the highest, of course you live a nourishing life, I don't even dare to show my face." The Dark Shadow complained.

"I'm your brother, my own brother, and I raised you." Cao Quan said calmly.

The shadow was silent for a long time.

"We obviously don't have to be like this, brother, with your way, there is no need to do this kind of thing behind your back." Shadow.

"No, it has to be done." Cao Quan's expression was resolute, "I want to prove to Master that I am right." ”

The shadow was silent again.

More than 10 years ago, Cao Quan was practicing in a Buddhist temple, he was puzzled by the Buddhist scriptures, and asked what the silence of Nirvana was, and the master told him that time in the world is divided into countless moments, and the moment is the shortest time, people live in the present moment of each moment, and this moment presents an absolute silence, so time is not rushing, but a long-term silence, if you can grasp this moment of silence, you can become a Buddha.

Cao Quan couldn't understand that if the world was stationary and the arrows were stationary, then what was moving?

"How can we grasp this moment?" Cao Quan asked.

"I don't know, I'm still practicing." Master.

"Who grasped the moment?" Cao Quan asked again.

"Those who have attained positive results." Master.

As for how to attain positive results, we go back to the original question.

Cao Quan didn't know what the positive result was, but every time he asked the master, the master was vague, and when he asked too much, the master said, "You are in love." ”

Over time, Cao Quan couldn't even tell what was the appearance, and finally one day, he dared to say to his master, the Buddha was dead. The master didn't scold him for being rebellious, he stared at him for a long time, and finally said in an old voice: "You are in love." ”

Cao Quan ignored it and asked, "The world is going to be chaotic, and the master is cultivating behind closed doors, when will it be cultivated?" When the soldiers come in the future, who of the Buddhas can bless the safety of our temple? ”

"The rise and fall of temples has existed since ancient times, the Dharma is immortal, and the physical body is dead, so what is the fear?"

After the master finished, he continued to meditate, his long beard lowered, as if he was sitting.

Cao Quan knelt quietly for a long time, and left the temple, he wanted to become a Buddha, and became a Buddha with a crooked and evil way, so as to prove that the sky has no eyes, and the Buddha is dead.

In the past ten years, he has practiced martial arts, although his legs are lame, but he is only one line away from the King Kong in the book.

The Buddha's treasure is in the Ci family, and the old man regards it as his life, but now the old man is getting old and declining, so he decided to invite the monks to appreciate the treasure together, which is to appreciate the treasure, in fact, he wants to bring the monks from near and far together to ask about the secret of immortality.

Cao Quan spent several months making a name for himself in the village, and had been reincarnated as a sage and reincarnated Buddha Nirvana, and the always cautious Ci Lao also wrote to invite him, and he finally 'reluctantly' agreed after refusing three times in a row.

"Are you scared?" Cao Quan looked at the dark shadow beside him and asked.

The black shadow was silent for a while, and finally said, "I recently heard rumors about that holy bodhisattva, and my heart is restless. ”

"Holy Bodhisattva?" Cao Quan sneered and said: "The destruction of saints in the world is almost a foregone conclusion, and she dares to call herself a saint, she really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead...... Rest assured, we have been together for more than ten years, when today's true qi is full, jumping clowns are endless, so it is not uncommon to see people who make mysteries, this holy bodhisattva is just a female stream, what is there to fear? ”

The master of the Dao Gate who wanted to dominate the martial arts was also a woman, but after hesitating, he finally didn't speak.

"Alright." Cao Quan's words turned lighter: "Tonight, a woman wants to come to ask for a child, and you will receive it." ”

The dark shadow turned to joy, "Thank you, brother." ”

"You are my brother, we came here alone, of course I have to be good to you." Cao Quan seemed to be talking to himself.

Late at night, there was movement in the temple.

Cao Quan listened to the movement, his mind was uneasy, he didn't understand, he had already investigated these things when he was twenty years old, why was he bothered by them now?

Next.

There is a young man in Cishou Village who returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he is a disciple of Guangning Monastery, according to Huigen.

Cao Quan happened to bump into him, and he was teased, so he talked with him, and when he asked about the Holy Bodhisattva, the young man told him that the Holy Bodhisattva had given them a lecture, and Cao Quan was interested and asked the Holy Bodhisattva what Buddhism he had said.

"The Holy Bodhisattva didn't teach the Dharma, she taught us meditation." Juvenile.

Cao Quan suddenly lost interest.

Meditation seems to him to be absurd and boring, and when people keep repeating a symbolic language, they do fall into a vague spiritual realm, greedy for it, but what is the use of this? At best, it's just a dream of Nanke.

"Bodhisattva, meditation is for retreating, for retreating the mind to a more primordial realm, to think about it." Teenager answers.

"Oh? So where did you retreat? Cao Quan asked.

"The things in the world are nothing more than the cause and effect of the universe, I will give it up, get rid of the universe, no distinction between him and me, remove the universe, only cause and effect remain, when I am one, one is me, my thoughts are born in chaos, in the book, chaos is the beginning of all things, I think I have attained the Tao, but I can ask the holy Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva sister, I am wrong." The young man said, "I don't know what I did wrong. ”

The young man looked at Cao Quan with inquiring eyes and asked, "Does uncle know?" ”

Cao Quan was silent for a long time.

He had never thought about this, and he didn't even understand what he was doing, but after all, this young man was only a teenager, and he couldn't let go of his son to ask, and after groaning, he said solemnly: "You are in love." ”

After this incident, Cao Quan believed even more that the so-called Holy Bodhisattva Sect was a person who played tricks and taught some specious falsehoods.

He lived as always.

At night, his younger brother is responsible for doing evil, and during the day, he is responsible for correcting evil and accumulating fame.

Master Ci met him in advance, but when they met, Master Ci sighed.

Under Cao Quan's inquiry, Master Ci: "I invited so many monks, but I couldn't invite the holy Bodhisattva, it's a pity." ”

Cao Quan's heart moved, and this time, he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Guangning Temple to see the holy Bodhisattva.

Holy bodhisattvas are not difficult to see.

She is in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and when the disciples practice martial arts on weekdays, they can see her writing by the window from afar, she is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with black hair in Buddhist clothes, although she is not stunning, but she is also beautiful and moving.

When Cao Quan visited, the holy bodhisattva was grinding with his head bowed.

He didn't immediately understand what he meant, but he only came to ask the Dharma and ask the Bodhisattva for advice. The Holy Bodhisattva gave him two scriptures and asked him to read them by himself, Cao Quan smiled, put the book aside gently, shook his head and said: "The secular obsession Cao has already seen through, and I want to ask the Bodhisattva for the true scriptures when I climb the mountain today." ”

"Oh?" The girl cast her gaze lightly, but: "You have all the desires in your heart, what do you see?" ”

"Cao has been abstinent since ten years ago, and he has never married a wife and had children, so why do you want to fall in love?" Cao Quan said calmly.

"Desire is desire, desire must be desired, and if you seek enlightenment with abstinence, you are also desire." The girl calmly asked, "When I saw that you were walking very slowly, I should have covered the disease of your right leg, and why?" ”

"The holy bodhisattva is famous, lame and ugly, Cao is out of etiquette......" Cao Quan suddenly realized that he had no love in his heart, but he could take care of his own appearance, how could it not be a kind of narcissism?

Thinking of this, Cao Quan broke into a cold sweat, but he still felt that this was just a discernment technique, although in the past, when the master was cultivating, he had seen too many monks who could speak well, which was not surprising.

Thinking like this, the holy bodhisattva grinded it, picked up the pen and put it down, and suddenly said: "King Kong is not bad, you can't ask for it." ”

Cao Quan was shocked, he looked at the girl in front of him, like seeing a demon.

"Why?" Cao Quan asked in a trembling voice.

The girl didn't answer, but said, "When you have achieved the Dao, you can come to see me again." ”

Cao Quan left an invitation from Master Ci and left silently, just as a coincidence.

The next day, the treasure feast was held, the monks gathered, the holy Bodhisattva still did not come, Cao Quan was disappointed and continued to carry out his plan, he and his younger brother should be outside, and stole the Buddha treasure glass elephant that night, he refined it into the body overnight, and the body was like a dragon elephant for a while, and the sword was difficult to enter.

Cao Quan was supposed to leave overnight, but he always thought about the words of the holy Bodhisattva, and the next day, he climbed the mountain in cloth clothes, met the holy Bodhisattva, and showed his cultivation of the Vajra is not bad.

The holy bodhisattva was silent, only put the pen on his shoulder a little, and in an instant, the incorruptible body of the King Kong that he was proud of was like a ball that had been pierced, and it quickly wilted, which was worse than a weak scholar.

At this time, Cao Quancheng was afraid that he would no longer have any doubts, and hurriedly knelt down and asked about the Tao.

"The gold and jade are ruined on the outside, and it is naturally like a dream bubble, which will be extinguished at the touch of a button." Girlish.

"But I've been cultivating both inside and outside all these years......" Cao Quan was puzzled.

"You have to attain the Buddha body." Girlish.

"Buddha body? How to fix? ”

"Buddhahood."

"How to become a Buddha?"

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha naturally." The girl said calmly.

Cao Quan has heard this sentence countless times on the rivers and lakes, and his ears are calloused, if he had done it in the past, he would have scoffed, but today, Cao Quan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked.

The girl looked at him fixedly, and said: "You do good deeds and accumulate virtues, bless the township, and have the posture of becoming a Buddha, but unfortunately, your butcher's knife has never been put down." ”

"Butcher's knife? Where do I get a butcher's knife? Cao Quan was confused.

"Think for yourself." Girlish.

After Cao Quan went back, he thought about it all night, and in the early morning, his younger brother woke him up.

The younger brother changed into a new dress, he stepped on the newly bought boots, and he was still feeling how beautiful the woman was that night, and he did not notice that the way his brother looked at him changed.

"Help me try my martial arts." Cao Quan.

The younger brother casually agreed.

Half an hour later, the body of the younger brother was stoned and thrown into the river.

Cao Quan broke the butcher's knife, his heart was resolved, and his magic was achieved again.

He confidently went to the Guangning Temple in the name of thanks, and to his surprise, this time, the martial arts he had worked so hard to cultivate and thought that he was not what he used to be in the past were once again broken by a finger.

Cao Quan knelt on the ground, thinking about his brother's unexpected eyes before he died, and he was puzzled.

"You already have a Buddha heart, but you are not a Buddha body." Girlish.

"How do you become a Buddha?" Cao Quan asked eagerly.

"Sacrifice yourself." The girl said calmly.

Cao Quan still wanted to ask, but saw that the girl suddenly closed the book in his hand, and he clearly saw that there were three words written on the book: "Nirvana Sutra".

He came to his senses and retired again.

Self-immolation requires a lot of determination, but Cao Quan does not, he seems so anxious, in his own words, 'This mortal child of the flesh has long wanted to give up', until the flame ignites the pain of the body.

Suffering.

Or pain.

Is the path to Buddhahood so painful?

While thinking about the suffering of the Buddha, Cao Quan smelled the smell of burning, which was mixed with the fragrance of meat, and he felt hunger like never before, and he suddenly remembered the face of his dead brother, who was at the bottom of the cold lake, looking up at the face that was pecked by a fish, and grinned: "Brother, you are here." ”

Cao Quan woke up suddenly, it was too late.

The flames had reduced his hair to ashes.

In the last moments of his life, he just quietly stared ahead and muttered, "I...... Looking. ”

Cao Quan's death caused a sensation throughout Cishou Village, and countless people came to mourn, and they repeatedly turned over his ashes in an attempt to find relics from them.

"There's no way he's going to burn the relics."

Guangning Temple, a girl in green clothes said sharply, and then changed her words and said with a smile: "He was burned in the open air, and the temperature was not enough." ”

The disciples who were listening to the lecture laughed alongside, just as the Bodhisattva was joking, that Cao Quan's Buddhism was not profound.

After giving a lecture to her disciples, she went back to the pavilion to write a book.

Today she sat quietly for a long time, writing only eight words in the book, and never started writing again.

The disciple who swept the floor saw those eight words: All things are constant; The law is realistic.

The disciple muttered puzzled.

Leaving the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the girl went back to her room, and met an old monk on the way, and the monk asked, "When will you travel far away?" ”

The girl's footsteps paused slightly, and she replied: "Recently." ”

She was leaving, and the disciples in the temple didn't know about it.

When I returned to my room, I closed the door, and the candles were not lit. When there is no one, she no longer hides her face, and the girl's lotus steps move lightly, and the gradually bright and clean beauty illuminates the simple side room.

She stared at the sleeping boy for a moment and walked into the depths of the chamber.

Tsing Yi fell to the ground in an uproar, followed by a belt, a skirt and satin, they went along the way, like a paved classical paper flower, and when they reached the screen, there was only a single piece of clothing.

The girl flipped her jade hand and untied the wooden hairpin that bound her hair, and she pressed the bun and shook her head, and her long white hair, like a snowy waterfall, flowed down and covered her elegant Buddhist robes.
