Let's talk about the abbot of Zhishan
In "Sailing the World", Abbot Zhishan is a very light character, but the author thinks this person is very interesting, so he takes it out and talks about it. When Zhishan was about to end his life, he said such a sentence: "Karma is not happy at all, Pan Yong, you and I are friends because of martial arts, but we are ruined because of martial arts, and karma and karma are ......" This passage actually expresses the idea of "martial arts heroes, cultivate themselves and benefit others".
1, Abbot Zhishan appeared for the first time, in Chapter 107, just a sentence, on the red list of the top 45 in the martial arts conference, among them: The three winners in Fujian are the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple, the owner of Dongshan Island, and President Pan of Wanshihui. In other words, Abbot Zhishan's martial arts rank among the top three in Fujian, which is already quite good.
The author once said that there are more people in the martial arts conference, but there are few soy sauce players, and some characters are using the martial arts conference as a ring to show their faces, and they will appear again on different occasions later. The same is true for Abbot Zhishan, his martial arts have this explanation in Chapter 177: Zhishan is good at martial arts, and he is amazed by the subtlety of the Wanhua Sword Technique, and the two of them greet each other with a few words and dismantle them. Pan Yong was also impressed by Zhishan's "Eight Desolation Divine Skills", and the two fought to 300 rounds, and at the same time they stopped fighting, which can be described as sympathetic to each other, and became close friends at first sight.
What is the Eight Desolation Divine Skills? The Eight Desolations refer to the uncivilized remote areas, and the Eight Desolations are of course a kind of civilized martial arts. Civilized what? Nature is the goodness of human nature that the author desires. Because he is not only the abbot of "Kaiyuan Temple", but also called Zhishan. The name of Zhishan is taken from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is also evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. "The general idea is that the whole world thinks that beauty is beauty, which is not beautiful; They all think that good is good, and this is not good.
2. Abbot Zhishan's second appearance is in chapters 127 and 128. After he and President Pan and Liu Island Master participated in the Beijing Martial Arts Conference, they were dragged by Pan and Liu to Jingdezhen to seek revenge. Abbot Zhishan, you and I are both Buddhists, why do you want to get involved in these mundane things? Why don't you come in and have a sip of tea? ”
Abbot Zhishan replied outside the door, "Amitabha! What Abbot Yunxiang said is very true, I am just walking with President Pan and Lord Liu from Beijing, and I have no intention of seeking revenge...... However, Abbot Yunxiang was not at home for the New Year, and he came all the way from Nanjing to here, really just to drink a sip of tea? ”
This passage reveals two meanings: first, Abbot Zhishan did not intend to make trouble, and even if he made trouble, he would be dragged into the water; Second, he stayed in Jiangxi because he heard that there was going to be a Buddha lamp in Lushan, which was the same purpose as the abbot of Yunxiang.
The dispute at the wedding banquet in Jingdezhen was resolved by Wang Hou, although Wang Hou resolved the contradiction between the two sides, but because of this, he formed a bond with the three masters of Fujian, which brought him a lot of trouble to Fuzhou during the New Year.
Interestingly, although Wang Hou defeated the three masters of Fujian in three moves, it is not really the first in the world in martial arts, but there is a trick, first of all, Wang Hou knows in his heart that he must fight quickly, once entangled, the Zheng family in Jingdezhen will inevitably help, and it will be difficult to stop it then, and the best way is to calm both sides as soon as they make a move, so that they dare not do it. Secondly, Wang Hou's victory lies in the fact that he first attacked the weaker of the three and stood at the forefront of the Liu Island Lord, pushing him to President Pan, taking advantage of President Pan's parry, a style of "boat to go endlessly" led the two to the abbot of Zhishan at the same time, and the three of them clashed with each other, and took the opportunity to knock down the three again. In this battle, the victory is to make the opponent chaotic, but he himself wins in the chaos and reaps the benefits.
Therefore, it is not that the three masters are famous, but Wang Hou is a little cunning, and he successfully used their mutual containment and leveraged his strength. After Wang Hou won, Zhishan said something like this: "The donor's martial arts are strong for the old man to see, but the power is not strong, but he is more open-minded, want to come to the donor is not the thing in the pool, if he has the opportunity in the future, please come to Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple." His original intention was to befriend Wang Hou, but unfortunately, what happened later was a tragedy for Zhishan.
3. Abbot Zhishan made an official appearance again, which was in chapter 161, when the lily fairy took Wang Hou and others to the gold rush mountain in Shaxian County, and the group originally wanted to enter the Dingguang Monastery to see, burn incense, and worship the Buddha, but they encountered difficulties with the monks of the Dingguang Monastery, and the two sides fought. It reads:
The four people on the steps, in addition to the poisoned monk, the other two pulled out their straight-backed knives and prepared to besiege Mo Gong, only to hear a shout and ask: "Stop!" Two monks in their fifties wearing scarlet robes walked out side by side inside the mountain gate, followed by dozens of people. When Wang Hou and Lily Fairy saw one of them, they were all stunned: The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple knows goodness? How did he end up here?
Zhishan appeared here because after the Lushan Buddha Lantern incident, he returned to Fujian with President Pan and Liu Island, and after arriving in Shaxian County, he knew that Pan and Liu were going to rob the Poyang Gang worth 100,000 taels of porcelain, so he didn't want to mix it anymore, under the pretext of visiting his junior brother, that is, the Wuyin Zen Master of Dingguang Zen Temple, but he didn't expect to accidentally bump into Wang Hou and others, although Wang Hou was wearing a hat, he could still feel a different atmosphere, after all, everyone is a master.
It was written: The Wuyin Zen Master opened his mouth to say something, but the abbot Zhishan raised his hand to stop him, and after a while, Zhishan whispered to himself: "The white-clothed masked man is very much like a person, strange, how did he get mixed with Tianxiang Palace?" …… He's a peerless master, junior brother, we can't afford to mess with him. ”
4. Although he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, Abbot Zhishan still decided to tell President Pan and Lord Liu the news, so that they would not suffer, so he hurried on the road, arrived in Minqing County, found the master of Jishanmen, and informed the reason for the matter, Abbot Zhishan said: "The day before yesterday, I saw them in Dingguang Monastery, and I was also surprised, at that time they claimed to be under the Tianxiang Palace, how could I believe it? sent someone to investigate in Shaxian County, and really lived in an inn with that Yang gang leader...... The Wudang faction and Tianxiang Palace don't have to be taken seriously, if the ruthless gang leader intervenes in this matter, you, President Pan, and Liu Dao Master will never be able to get benefits, so I am afraid that you will suffer, so I hurried here. ”
Lai, Pan and Liu are partners, so thank you, Zhishan said something like this: "The owner of the door does not have to be polite, I have become close friends with Pan and Liu because of martial arts, and when I went to Beijing, I was still warmly received by the owner of the door, and the old man also wanted to thank one or two." However, no matter what the situation is, you should come forward to receive it, find out the details, be prepared, if it has nothing to do with the Poyang Gang, it is the best, if it is really related, you must not act rashly. ”
Here, it is explained that Zhishan is different from the other two masters in Fujian, he knows Pan and Liu, purely by martial arts to meet friends, because of martial arts become friends, this is very simple, but the simple abbot of Zhishan met not pure Pan and Liu, and there are inevitably contradictions.
In chapters 172 and 173, Abbot Zhishan also advised President Pan, Lord Liu, and Lord Laimen: "The three leaders, the old monk has always understood that you all have so much power and financial resources, why do you still fight for fame and fortune? As I say, stop before it's too late, and don't set yourself on fire. ”
But President Pan, who is accustomed to quibbling, said: "What the abbot said, we have also been considering, but it is difficult to ride a tiger, and if we don't fight, we will lose what we have gained. Not to mention losing Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou will also be encroached upon. (Regarding President Pan, I will talk about him again when I have time later) 5. As mentioned earlier, knowing goodness is contradictory, on the one hand, he does not want his friends to behave indiscriminately, and on the other hand, he is afraid that they will suffer, such a person is destined to be an unfortunate person. Chapter 177, with the subtitle "Destroyed by Force", tells about the unfortunate fate of Zhishan.
Wang Hou and Lily Fairy looked for Pan and Liu to ask for an antidote, and the two sides fought, because of the poisonous mist of Lily Fairy (a bit like a biological weapon), the Lord of Lai Men died under the sword of Pan and Liu, Liu Island Master was seriously injured, and President Pan hid in the mechanism in the house, at this time: Wang Hou looked at Abbot Zhishan coldly, saw him standing in place, closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, ignored him, picked up the Lily Fairy and jumped off the roof, but did not find President Pan.
When Abbot Zhishan saw the tragic situation in front of him, especially the many poisoned gangsters lying in the compound, he immediately felt full of regret. He and President Pan became close friends fifteen years ago because of martial arts, and they had been friends for many years, and later they knew the lord of Liu Island and the lord of Laimen, and Zhishan had repeatedly admonished the three of them not to be too public, and now is a peaceful and prosperous world, and only by doing their duty can the sect prosper, but they are bent on going their own way, and with the expansion of the scale, the desire swells more and more difficult to rein, so that they end up today.
Zhishan closed his eyes and closed his eyes, and the scenes of what he was doing were presented in front of him, and for a moment he seemed to realize that there were hundreds of people in the courtyard who had been poisoned, and that he had heard that "those who were poisoned would not be able to save their lives", and if he could find an antidote for them, it would be considered to alleviate his sins. After thinking about this, he jumped off the roof and stopped at the door to ask Wang Hou and the Lily Fairy for the antidote.
Wang Hou didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to ask for an antidote for his girlfriend, so he readily agreed to him: "Old monk, there is a debtor who is wronged, and I only find the surname Pan to settle the account." ”
Abbot Zhishan then told the place where President Pan was hiding, and came out to give everyone an explanation, President Pan jumped out and felt that he had been betrayed by Abbot Zhishan, so he was angry and said: "Zhishan, I have always treated you well, why did you betray me?" At this time, Abbot Zhishan not only regretted it, but gave birth to despair, and the desire to alleviate sins was even stronger, he smiled indifferently and said the last words: "Karma, not at all, Pan Yong, you and I are friends because of martial arts, but we are ruined because of martial arts, karma and karma...... The two donors, the old man is willing to accept it on behalf of President Pan, and please spare him and everyone in the courtyard. With that, he slapped his palm on his chest.
6. Abbot Zhishan slapped his palm on his chest, is he dead? The author didn't say it explicitly, let the reader imagine, after all, he is not a bad person, he just made the wrong friends, so is a person like him a good person?
