Chapter 291: Young Xuanzang, Pure Mind Zen Monastery (4k)

I don't know if the practice of Confucianism has been handed down? It's not just an ideological concept without a corresponding practice method, right?

Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and thought of some famous Confucian scholars other than Wang Tong today, such as Liu Xuan, Liu Zhuo, Kong Yingda and others, it is estimated that these people should be able to have the inheritance of Confucian exercises.

It is said that the chief military advisor of the Ssangyong Young Marshal Army later acted in vain, and the origin of martial arts was relatively mysterious, and later he also opened a Zhongli Academy, which seems to be like a Confucian faction, and he can see and understand it when the time comes.

……

Among the books in the Laojun Temple, there are many books such as "The Book of Plain Women", "The Instructions of the Jade Room", "The Secret of the Room", "Peng Zu's Cultivation", etc., and there are also many books such as the number of heavenly stars, the five elements of yin and yang, and the left way of the side door of the rivers and lakes.

Of course, what really made Zhao Qing gain was some unique copies of the Taoist scriptures that were not circulated in later generations, as well as many early versions of the Taoist scriptures in later generations, which expounded the views of the Taoist sages on "Tao" and "practice".

I have to say that as a sect founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty and with a long history, the heritage of Laojunguan is quite profound, even if it is not as good as Cihang Jingzhai, which can be called the holy land of martial arts, it may not be much inferior to the Yin Gui School, Heavenly Master Dao, and Shangqing School;

Although Zhao Qing also browsed a large number of classics in the previous worlds, there were not a few who were lost and mutilated due to wars in the later dynasties, and finally saw their true appearance in the collection of Lao Junguan at this time, and immersed in them for a while, and before they knew it, they stayed until night.

Putting down a simple Taoist scripture in her hand, she quietly floated out of the Tibetan scripture hall in the view, and came to the cliff at the highest point of the Cuiyun Peak in Bishan Mountain, overlooking the endless land stretched under the cliff, and looked beyond the sparse lights in Luoyang City, and reached the southern suburbs more than ten miles away.

It is a magnificent temple built on the mountain, hidden in the deep forest, the hall is heavy, the weather is solemn, it is the martial arts although not famous, but the status of the noble Jingnian Zen Temple.

Regardless of whether He's Bi is hidden in the Zen temple or not, trying the martial arts of Master Kong in the temple and understanding the secret of martial arts of this great sect of Buddhism can be regarded as one of Zhao Qing's next goals.

I saw her clothes fluttering gently, jumping straight down from the Cuiyun Peak that was nearly a hundred zhang high, Mingyu aura and Gang aura overlapped, gliding and flying to Luoyang City under the night, preparing to arrive at the Luohe River in the city, which runs through the north and south, treading the waves, and leading to the south of the city with the shortest path.

……

In the southern suburbs of Luoyang City, the buildings in the temple add up to hundreds, just like the Jingnian Zen Temple of a small city, with the gradual deepening of the night, the melodious bell is heard, and it floats down from the mountain.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old little monk with an unusual temperament raised his head, looked at the inscription above the mountain gate, "the entrant is fate" and the couplet engraved on both sides, and his heart was quiet, recalling the scene when he entered the mountain gate and became a monk in the Pure Land Temple in the east of the city more than half ago.

Jingnian Monastery, an ancient Zen temple built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was more than 300 years earlier than the establishment of the Pure Land Temple where it was located, and it is almost as old as the White Horse Temple, the ancestral court of Buddhism in China, and it is actually the largest temple in Luoyang with the most complete Buddhist scriptures.

After I finished reciting all the classics in the temple, the second brother Changjie specially greeted the master here and allowed me to go to the Zen temple to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and I don't know how many volumes can be recorded in one night.

I heard that the master of the pure thought monastery is a famous monk in Luoyang City for decades, and every time he opens the altar to preach, he is gathered and watched from all directions, but in the past 12 years, he has been closed, and he seems to be practicing some profound Zen method.

If you have the opportunity, you should definitely ask this respected master for some difficult questions about the Myoho-renge-kyo and Vimala Sutra.

Xuanzang thought secretly in his heart, walked into the mountain gate, and saw the first seven-room wide hall in the square behind the door, as well as the light cyan cigarettes of the birds in the temple.

At the same time, more than ten zhang away from him, Zhao Qing walked in the Zen courtyard beside him, glanced at this handsome little monk not far away, and ran "his heart" to find out the identity of the other party, and was slightly surprised in his heart.

Is it actually Master Xuanzang when he was young? It turned out that he was now a monk in the Pure Land Temple in Jianyang Gate in the east of Luoyang, and wanted to copy the Buddhist scriptures at the Jingnian Monastery, and there were still 12 years before he traveled west to learn the scriptures.

At present, the wisdom master of the Tiantai sect, the master of the Three Treatises sect Jiaxiang, the emperor of the Huayan sect, and the master of the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin, who are currently known as the four holy monks, are all enough to compete with Ning Daoqi in terms of strength, and are still above the masters such as Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of Yin";

In the Tang Dynasty, the three ancestors of Huayan were the first masters, and their martial arts and status were faintly above the master of Jing Zhai who had already cultivated to the "Yin Wuji", and had the ability to use supreme Buddhism to trigger the memory fragments of other people's reincarnation in their previous lives.

Obviously, the truly famous monks and great virtues of Buddhism, especially the figures at the level of the ancestors of each sect, are the top masters of the grandmasters, and the martial arts and Zen methods are all in the realm of supernatural transformation.

Master Xuanzang in Tianzhu got the supreme respect of "Mahayana Heaven" and "Liberation Heaven", and was the founder of the Faxiang Sect in the middle principle, integrating Tianzhu and Middle-earth Buddhism, and discussing the status of Buddhism and the cultivation of Buddhism, undoubtedly above Jiaxiang, Emperor Xin, Xianshou and others.

In the world of Huang Yi, it may be a supreme master who can shatter the Dharma, reach the peak cultivation of the Bodhisattva of the Ten Lands, and become a saint, and he is one of the highest realms in the history of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the Jingnian Monastery to search for He's Bi this time, I was able to meet Xuanzang, who was famous in later generations but is now just a little monk, which can be regarded as fate.

Zhao Qing thought about it in his heart, and explored Xuanzang's situation at close range, and found that he was young, had a good cultivation, had extremely high qualifications, had the ability to never forget, and was born with strong mental power, and couldn't help but love talents.

Speaking of which, Xuanzang's talent in Buddhism is amazing, if he is allowed to practice Taoist martial arts, will his achievements be even higher?

The Buddhist scriptures he came back from his westward journey to get them translated were all written down by the sweeping monk and taught them directly to him, what kind of results would it cause?

Between the slight movements of his mind, Zhao Qing lifted part of the external spiritual shielding, pulled Xuanzang to his side casually, and took him to jump straight into the air twenty zhang high, and walked to the depths of the Jingnian Zen Monastery together.

"Little monk, I'm about to enter the temple to visit the empty Zen master here, you can go with me."

Leaping silently in the air with a concealment method unimaginable to ordinary people, she immediately saw the panorama of the entire Jingnian Monastery, and at the same time, she also sensed the strange fluctuations coming from the temple, and confirmed the location of He's bi.

I saw that the main buildings in the temple were arranged on the central axis facing the temple gate in turn, with a wide 100 zhang, made of white stone, surrounded by a white stone fence platform square as the center of the temple, the scale is complete and uniform.

All the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, the color is as new, especially the peacock blue in the three-color is the most dazzling, all of them are far-reaching eaves, and the eaves are high-pitched, which together create a far-reaching and solemn atmosphere of the temple, full of religious appeal.

In the middle of the white stone square, enshrine a bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, ride on the back of the golden lion, as high as two zhang Xu, there are three Buddhas such as medicine master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine, color plastic gold ornaments, quite bold.

At the edge of the white stone platform, in addition to the entrances and exits of the four stone steps, there are 500 Arhats evenly distributed, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or hang the curtain inside, they are all lifelike, no different from living people.

Just a moment of work, Zhao Qing found that the original design and casting of these Arhats should be a Buddhist master, intentionally or unintentionally show the profound exercises in the Arhats' thousands of postures, perhaps related to the founder of the Zen Monastery Heavenly Monk, implying the mystical truth, and the Arhat statue in the Cheng~Du Dashi Temple is similar to the hand-painted book of the Gumarosh.

After a brief understanding, she realized that in the past, the heavenly monks took it as their mission to study the world's religious sects, and only wanted to explore the vast artistic conception of the way of life and death, and realized the profound and unfathomable cultivation of this unborn great master who was as famous as Dini.

The other buildings in the Zen Temple, with the main hall on the axis as a whole, are distributed in all directions in an orderly manner, separated by forest roads, which not only have a deep and far-reaching, peaceful and quiet atmosphere, but also have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

This temple is not according to the convention everywhere, and has its own style. The most surprising thing is undoubtedly that the decoration of the building is extremely gorgeous, but it can still give people a simple and true feeling, which can be said to be full of Zen and Buddha meaning.

Looking at the layout of the entire Zen temple, Zhao Qing deeply realized the Taoist principle of "having everything in the inside and doing everything outside", and had a further understanding of the mysterious stone carvings of Xiaoyaozi "through the gods in form", and realized the commonalities between Buddhism and Taoism.

At the same time, a mysterious sense of calm naturally welled up in her heart, sensing the Heshi Bi located deep underground behind the White Rock Square, and a certain unfathomable truth of the universe hidden deep in the bi.

Three years later, the smaller bronze hall had not yet been built, but there was a wooden pavilion that looked like a makeshift building, in which a deep pit was dug in the ground, several layers of copper plates were cast at the mouth of the pit, and a huge bronze bell was upside down as a barrier to the strange forces of the Heshibi.

Despite this, even the Temple of the God of War, which was blocked by a formation thousands of miles away, could be sensed by Zhao Qing, and the copper plate that was several feet thick naturally did not play the role expected by the people in the Zen Academy, allowing her to discover the location of He's Bi.

And ten zhang away from the wooden pavilion, there is a large hall where the monks do evening classes, and the sound of chanting the scriptures is melodious, as if coming from an unknowable distance, spreading all over the temple.

In addition to the ancient Heshi Bi, on a stone road on the left side of the wooden pavilion that is planted with bamboo trees on both sides and full of ancient meaning, the two are approaching and seem to be integrated with heaven and earth, which also attracted Zhao Qing's attention.

One of them, with almost no leakage, constantly converging inward, has a kind of silent and reserved, indescribable taste; On the other hand, it contains an ethereal fairy aura, an active and quiet mind, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.

The first one should be the Zen master of the Pure Mind Monastery. There is another one, could it be that Fan Qinghui, the contemporary owner of Cihang Jingzhai, also came to the Zen monastery?

The spiritual cultivation of these two people is very good, and the inheritance of the Heavenly Monk Dini, the "Pure Nian Zen Book" and the "Cihang Sword Codex", is enough to be the target of my trial recruitment tonight.

Zhao Qing was thoughtful in his heart, and Xuanzang, who looked a little flustered and a little curious, fell from the sky, and happened to be in front of the sealed gate of the Wooden Pavilion, but he did not immediately break down the door to search for the Heshi Bi in the Pavilion.

She just stood there quietly, looking in the direction of the stone path on the left, and saw the true faces of Fanqinghui and Kong, the two leaders of Buddhism today, and transferred the light and shadow illusion that had been maintained by the dual aura since entering the temple to Xuanzang, revealing her figure.

The empty Zen master of the Jingnian Monastery looks like a young and handsome monk who is less than forty years old, but in fact an eighty or ninety-year-old monk has rejuvenated, wearing a monk's uniform with a yellow robe and a brown coat, which shows his detachment like a crowd.

He has a slender and dashing figure, a straight nose, and a lot of personality. The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip accentuate a certain indescribable charm, embedded in his slender face is both very beautiful and leisurely.

The chin is broad, and the bright face has a kind of transcendent and secular brilliance, and the demeanor is neither weak, nor domineering, but comfortable and natural.

The most memorable thing at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make anyone born with an unfathomable depth and a heart that dare not be underestimated.

Next to the empty is a nun with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes at first glance, wearing a gray cotton robe, it seems that she is in her thirties, but Su Yurong shows people the world, and there is no and cannot have anything to make her feel the vicissitudes of life.

The bald head of the green silk is particularly emphasized that the clear and distinct outline of her face is like the undulating outline of the beautiful mountains and rivers, which is unbelievably beautiful, making people forget the mundane, as if it is a great disrespect to her to think of other worldly things.

After many years of precipitation in the realm of "Heart and Soul" in "Cihang Sword Codex", Fan Qinghui's spiritual sense based on the immortal fetus was extremely keen, and the moment Zhao Qing's undisguised gaze fell on her, he also saw the existence of the other party in turn.

It was a young girl of about fifteen years old, who naturally exuded an ethereal aura similar to that of the Sword Cultivation Classic, but she couldn't smell any scent, couldn't hear anything, couldn't sense her at all, couldn't grasp her at all.

She seemed to stand there simply, but it was only an illusion of form, as if a projection of a higher universe falling, difficult to be touched by all earthly means, giving people a sense of tranquility and transcendence.

A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjushri Buddha shrine in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood was sending out a large amount of aroma, permeating the entire space, but Fan Qinghui's mood not far away did not calm down at all, but the deeper the immortal fetus sensed, the more depressed he wanted to vomit blood.

This otherworldly night visitor in front of her stayed at the door of the wooden pavilion where the Heshi Bi was hidden, and in the spirit of the moment, she encountered a setback for the first time since her debut, and the purpose was self-evident, obviously for this rare treasure through the ages.

From this, it can be inferred that the martial arts cultivation of the comer is very high, at least it can be compared to the level of "sword heart Tongming" in the "Sword Codex", and it has reached the level of the great master of the world.

The other party looks so young, but can have such a shocking cultivation, does he have the practice of rejuvenation, or does the great grandmaster-level figure of the previous generation awaken the wisdom of the world?

Thinking of this, Fan Qinghui's face lit up with holy brilliance, and he quickly took two steps forward, and a fierce momentum surged up, and he shrouded Zhao Qing ten zhang away, and with a "bang", the ancient long sword tied on his back was already unsheathed, clenched in his hand, and pointed at the other party from afar.

It was only a moment too late, and the perception of the void who had been limited by practicing the "Closed Mouth Zen" also noticed the sudden appearance of Zhao Qing in front of him, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he also had a feeling similar to that of Fan Qinghui, and he couldn't help but be very jealous.

Since he didn't carry a bronze bell as a weapon, he knew that the strength he could exert was limited to a certain extent, and when fighting against a master of the same level, there would be a few more subtle flaws in the defensive side, and he was definitely not an opponent of a great grandmaster-level enemy.

Thinking of this, the far-reaching Zen that lingered around the empty body was no longer constricted, and the breath became extraordinarily majestic, and he proclaimed the Buddha's name in a soft and generous voice, and said calmly: "The poor monk is empty, and the donor visits the Zen temple at night, is it for the sake of He's Bi?" ”

It is hard for anyone to imagine that he made such a decisive decision to break the closed-mouth meditation of many years of practice for the sake of Zhao Qing, who he met for the first time and was unknown in the rivers and lakes.

And at the moment when the empty voice sounded, not far away, there were monks in the hall where they were doing evening classes suddenly quieted down, the chanting of scriptures suddenly stopped, and one after another monks walked out of the hall with their palms folded.

Under the leadership of four tall and burly monks wearing blue monk robes and holding Zen sticks weighing more than 100 catties, more than 200 monks of different levels of martial arts walked straight towards the Baishi Square, looking neatly into the empty space, waiting for his next instructions.

In Zhao Qing's induction, the four major Dharma Protector Vajra led by him all have the profound skills of Hou Xibai, and the martial arts of the other more than two hundred warrior monks are also second-rate first-class level.

Because they knew that the master of the empty meditation had broken the "closed-mouth meditation" that had been practiced for 12 years because of the comer, although these monks were silent, they all showed their dissatisfaction with her, and formed an aura of faint oppression.
