The Huayang Dynasty has a "Journey to the West" half of the world's sect, simply put, a novel biography of the four masters and apprentices who crossed Tianzhu records all kinds of troubles encountered by the four masters and apprentices along the way, and these troubles are often described by the fighting methods of Buddhism and Taoism.

Three of the four apprentices were all Taoist disciples at first, and later changed their doors to become Buddhas.

Among them, the folk regard the big apprentice as a protective god, and call him the fighting Buddha, and set up temples everywhere.

However, there are still a small number of people who praise the second disciple, although the number of believers is small, but they can still be worshipped.

For the second apprentice, he likes nothing more than his former Taoist name, Marshal Tianpeng.

Legend has it that Marshal Tianpeng is in charge of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and there are capable generals like the Nine Heavens Boy, who is not only in charge of a side of heaven and earth, but also controls the weak water of this yin thing, and "Thirty-six Heavenly Generals" is even more popular among painters in Huayang world.

Yunzhan Cave is one of the blessed places of Taoism, there are no mountains and no water here, compared to other Taoist holy places with beautiful mountains and natural scenery, it can be said that there are no bright spots here.

However, since the construction of a Tianpeng Temple here, there is also a lot of incense.

Now when it comes to the people of the Yunzhan Cave for hundreds of miles, they will praise this as a blessed land, and even Tianpeng Temple has received the emperor of the current dynasty, and the emperor is deeply pleased, not only has been canonized by the imperial court, but also has a lot of financial and grain support every year.

Nowadays, the name of the heavenly master of Yunzhan Cave is Chiche, and the Taoist number is nine days, which is not only in charge of the Taoist affairs of Yongzhou Zhudi, but also is ordered to pay tribute to the palace every year.

Shuibuguan is a subordinate temple above the Yunzhan Cave, and it is said to be a Taoist temple, but it is better to say that it is a few thatched houses. Not only are there few Taoists in the Taoist temple, but because the location is above the mountains, there is no incense.

If it weren't for the fact that Shuibuguan's precept lawyer Fu and Jiutian Master were brothers who grew up in the world, I am afraid that no one would meddle in this matter.

It is estimated that the Heavenly Master of the Nine Days is worried that his junior brother will starve to death on the hillside, so he will always send Taoist priests to deliver grain, rice and vegetables several times a month.

The precept lawyer Fu is not small, but his temper is too eccentric, so his lineage is far less numerous than the disciples of the Nine Heavenly Masters.

In addition, the location of Shuibu Temple is too cheap, let alone outsiders, even the young Taoists in the Yunzhan Cave Taoist Temple know that there are very few people who know the name of the precept lawyer.

The Bodhisattva in troubled times doesn't ask about things, and the old way carries the sword to save the people.

For the good and good Buddhist disciples, the Taoist priest who likes to be alone seems so out of place.

If it sounds like the world, it will always feel like a vain name, but only those Taoist priests who carry the common people of the world on their own know how amazing it is that a master who can take on a precept is amazing.

There is no superfluous temple in Shuibu Temple, only two shacks, and there is a statue of Marshal Tianpeng with a mud tire in the shack, and the four protectors of Marshal Tianpeng are placed below.

In front of the clay sculpture is a long table, under which are two dark futons, on which you can find some dirt and grass roots.

A few pieces of fruit and snacks are sparsely placed on the benches.

There is a hole leaking on the roof of the shack, it should be because it has not been repaired for many years, there is a copper box under the hole, when it is simple, I am afraid that every rainy season, it is inevitable that there will be a heavy rain outside the house, and the scene of light rain inside the house.

The old Taoist priest looked at the yellowed fallen leaves all over the yard, sighed, and then bent down to pick up the leaves little by little.

There was a fat young man sitting in the courtyard, and there was something wrong with his expression.

"Tieshan, were you lazy again a few days ago, I told you, these bamboos are the same as people, they are the outside, but empty on the inside, this is modesty! The teacher has repeatedly told you to be careful and careful, but you are good, and I will raise it all. The precept said angry words, but his hands kept picking up fallen leaves.

The young man Tie Shan was beside him and said sadly: "In the past few days, there has been a lot of light rain in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be dripping to death." “

After hearing the precepts, he stretched out his left hand, knocked on the door and gently knocked on Tie Shan's head and said, "If you are not careful, forget it, you will be able to make excuses." It's a cool day today, you go down the mountain to pick up some water in a while, let's have a noodle meal at noon? ”

Tieshan is naturally unhappy, a trip down the mountain is at least a dozen miles, plus more than a dozen catties of spring water, let alone eating noodles, even if it is to eat steamed buns.

"You kid, you know every day to stay in the mountains, look at what you are fat, I am your age, it is three mountains and five mountains, playing in the mountains and rivers, not only know yin and yang and understand gossip, but also know everything about astronomy and geography." The precept stood behind Tie Shan and muttered.

Older people always like to endure hardships as fun, and seeing his master's leisurely and complacent look, Tie Shan couldn't help but retort: "Master, you are so powerful, why do you still call me the head of the Nine Heavens Master?" ”

The precept coughed lightly and said: "Back then, your master and ancestor liked me so much, and even regarded me as his future successor for a while, but your master still likes to do things for the common people in the world, and at that time, it caught up with the chaos in the world, and your master and I entered the world with the Dao sword on my back, don't look at your uncle refining pills for the emperor Lao'er all day long, but I can assure you that my Taoist cultivation is not worse than him at all." ”

Hearing this, Tie Shan shook his head: "I know, I know, when a plague broke out in a village, it was the elixir you prepared for it. ”

"You kid, don't you have a joke as a teacher, I am different from your uncle, your master can still get the Tao in the world without relying on this Taoist robe on his body."

Tie Shan has followed the precepts since he was born, and he is already familiar with these brilliant achievements of his master, but he still can't bear to break the precepts.

"Tieshan, what are you going to do? Come and talk to your master, let's chat, you are so cold, don't follow me. Lawyer Fu said loudly behind Tie Shan.

Tie Shan didn't even look back, explaining: "Go down the mountain to fetch water, and by the way, pay homage to your achievements." “

Lawyer Fu smiled: "Good apprentice, as long as you can understand your master's painstaking efforts, I can teach you the supreme heart method that I have painstakingly studied for twenty years, and become a flying immortal." Don't look at your master's uncle, who is not good, but this kind of mental method will not be realized in a hundred years if he is enlightened, and even your master and ancestor praised it at that time. ”

Tie Shan said expressionlessly: "Master, you have been deceiving me for more than ten years, if your exercises are really useful, can you still realize the Tao here?" Forget it, I see you, let's go and get the flour out of the kitchen, or you'll have to wait until the evening to eat the noodles. ”

The lawyer Fu was not annoyed when he saw his apprentice dismantling the stage like this, but he just smiled and scolded "this child" and yawned, stretched his waist, and came to the temple, his legs crossed, drowsy, only to see him settle down with his hands, his legs crossed, his eyes closed, and the incantation in his mouth was chanting, as if it was a dream, and it was like enlightenment.

"I dream of the world like a vegetable garden, I dream of the common people like vegetables, I dream of thunderstorms like flowing water, I dream of the sun and the moon like a bed."

When Tie Shan, who was carrying a flat pole and an empty bucket, came out of the kitchen, he passed by the temple and saw that the monk had already taken his seat, folded his hands, closed his eyes, and said silently: "Look at the hands with your feet, look at your mouth, look at your nose with your mouth, ask your eyes with your nose, look at your eyes with your eyes, and look at your heart. ”

Seeing that the lawyer Fu did not move, Tieshan then got up and left the courtyard, which was located on the remote mountainside of Yunzhan Cave, where there was no extra road, only a path covered with moss and wild flowers.

Tie Shan walked to the path, looking at the master who was still polishing his mood in the courtyard and was stunned, and after a long while, Tie Shan began to pick up the flat burden and go down the mountain alone.

Tie Shan is fat and has an ordinary build, and he is the kind of person who will not be recognized at a glance in the crowd. With his ordinary appearance and not much identity, he will always be ridiculed by some Taoist disciples in the Yunzhan Cave Taoist Temple.

A little Taoist priest in a cyan robe stood by the river and sneered at Tie Shan, "Who was I then? It turned out to be a little fool of Shuibuguan, you also came down to fetch water like this? Could it be that you don't even have a well? Thanks to you and your master, I don't think it's better for you to change your court and recognize me as your master, do you think it's good? ”

There are seven or eight hundred disciples of Yunzhan Cave, and Taoism is good at claiming to be orthodox, and it is naturally a look of contempt for those Taoist disciples who have no name and no share, and not many people know about Shuibu Temple, and those Yunzhan Cave disciples who often come to the river to practice are always full of ridicule for this unknown Iron Mountain.

Tie Shan is short in stature, but his mind is full of kindness, not only turning a deaf ear to the words of these people, but also ignoring them, just staring at the water in front of him in a daze.

Although the Taoist disciples with different faces looked down on them, they didn't dare to come forward to talk, because they had seen with their own eyes that Tie Shan was walking on the almost vertical cliff carrying dozens of catties of buckets, but the water in the buckets was not revealed.

This made those Taoist disciples a little jealous, but they also saw that Tie Shan didn't like to talk.

When he saw that the Iron Mountain was full of water and was about to pick up the flat pole and leave, a Taoist disciple picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the stream.

A splash of water splashed and splashed Iron Mountain.

Tie Shan was indifferent, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

The people who kicked their noses on the face seemed to think that Tie Shan was kneading dough, and began to say in a disrespectful manner: "Little fool, come here, let's see if you have the capital to become immortals." ”

Tie Shan shook his head insistently, as if he didn't quite believe in such words.

The young Taoist priest continued to taunt, "It's not bad, you're not as stupid as we thought. Listen to our advice, your master has no real skills, and when he was young, he was grounded in the mountains because he made a big mistake, and you won't have much success with him. ”

Hearing this, Tie Shan suddenly raised his head.

The young Taoist priest not only did not panic, but even sneered: "What? Say a few words about you, and you don't want to hear it. “

Tie Shan slowly put down the flat burden on his shoulder, a little anger flashed in his eyes, and then his body rushed towards the young Taoist priest like a falcon, and the water surface six or seven zhang wide was like flat ground in Tie Shan's eyes, and he stepped on a stone protruding from the water with a sweeping step, and then jumped up.

I saw him raise his hand like a knife, swing it hard, and his body was forced, and a half-human-high bluestone was instantly shattered.

Just like the sound of a tiger roaring ape, the young Taoist priest was also blown out a few feet away by this wave of qi.
