590, Shenlong enters the Buddha
"One-armed Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng was very sad, and in a fit of anger, he broke off his brotherly relationship with the "Three Cats" Ye Wuwu, and galloped out of Beijing on the white dragon horse.
The "three cats" knew that it was difficult to recover such a situation, so they had to watch the second brother go and never look back. He felt very guilty, shameless to face his family, and even more sorry for his old father who had fallen under the Yellow Spring. The so-called "ancient self-loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve", "filial piety and loyalty are rare in the world, who will love you in a lifetime"? This time, it was finally his turn. In his second hometown, Xuzhou, he has not visited his relatives for the third time, but his elderly and disabled father will never be seen again. Life is so fond of playing tricks, and his father's earnest admonition still lingers in his ears, but he can no longer let his father see the fulfillment of his heart's wishes. He felt extremely sad and frustrated, shameless to face his father and fellow villagers, shameless to face his family, and even more regretless The second brother said goodbye to him angrily!
Let's look at the "one-armed flying dragon" Ye Jinfeng, galloping all the way, angry horses galloping, like a yellow stream down, pouring thousands of miles. However, Ye Jinfeng traveled day and night, and only at dawn on the second day, that is, on September 26, he rushed to the White Horse Temple in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles. If you ask him why he came here, he has already thought about it for a long time during this short and long journey, and he has already made up his mind that in this troubled world, where can he go now, when his homeland is torn apart, when people are cold and warm, and where are the brothers who have left him one by one? He has always been compassionate, benevolent, and indissoluble with Buddhism, I am afraid that only escaping into Buddhism is his greatest sustenance forever, in this life and even in the next life. What else does he have to say? Don't be nostalgic for anything, don't pursue anything, don't need everything in the outside world. What brothers and sisters, what parental kindness, what friendship and romance, in the end, isn't it all empty? Perhaps, he can only get out of the earthly net and enter another new realm. Perhaps, when he stepped into this new realm, everything was so beautiful and worthy of nostalgia......
"One-armed Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng sat quietly on the saddle, raising his head and staring at the temple door - White Horse Temple. It's funny, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous by coincidence, is this already destined in a previous life? He loves the white horse under his crotch, he actually came to this White Horse Temple across this white horse, this is really their destination? ……
"Amitabha! Donor, are you here to offer incense? ”
Yejin Feng, who was walking in contemplation, was awakened by a voice that greeted him. He looked up and saw a little monk in green clothes clasping his palms to him, the temple was still so fresh and quiet, only a monk in the distance was sweeping the fallen leaves by the wall.
"Nope! I'm not here to offer incense. I want to see your temple master, can the little master introduce me? ”
"Our temple master, Master Yishen, has just gotten up and is now drinking morning tea in the hall. Donor, please come with the little monk. ”
So, the "one-armed flying dragon" Ye Jinfeng followed the little monk on the stone path and walked towards the Hall of Mercy and Grace. As soon as they stepped over the steps and walked to the front of the main hall, a white-bearded old monk dressed in a hundred robes slowly walked out. Seeing this, the little monk hurriedly flashed aside, put his hands together and said, "Master, this benefactor wants to see you." ”
When the old monk heard this, he looked at the "one-armed" Ye Jinfeng and said, "The donor has come from afar, please talk about it in the house." ”
"Thank you, Master." Ye Jin Feng thanked him, and followed Master Yishen into the Hall of Mercy and Grace.
"Donor, please be seated." Master Yishen said, and brewed a cup of fragrant warm tea for Yejin Feng. I only heard the master continue: "I think the donor is a person who practices martial arts, and when he came to see the old man so early, he must have something important to ask for, right?" ”
"One-armed Flying Dragon" Yejin Feng heard Master Yishen ask bluntly, and couldn't help but secretly admire, knowing that this old monk must be an experienced and respectable elder, so he told his recent experience, and vowed to escape into Buddhism from now on, and no longer ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Master Ichishen saw that he was sincere and sympathetic to his plight, so he deliberately wanted to keep him. What's more, this one-armed warrior is the world-famous and powerful "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng; Taking him in can not only strengthen the temple's prestige, but also allow him to preach the monks in martial arts. Such a generation of celebrity warriors voluntarily joined Buddhism, even if they can't invite such a master, how can Master Yishen turn them away?
So, after the insistent request of the "one-armed flying dragon" Ye Jinfeng, Master Yishen finally agreed to shave him. On that day, that is, in the second year of Daliang Kaiping, on September 26, 908 AD, in the deep and thick bell of Luoyang White Horse Temple, Ye Jinfeng took off his mortal clothes and officially cut his hair as a monk, and his Dharma name was Wujing. Since then, Wu Jing has started his Buddhist career in this White Horse Temple. However, Wu Jing has not forgotten that he is still a samurai, and he still loves his green dragon sword deeply. In addition to chanting and listening to the Buddha during the day, he also learned martial arts with the monks in his spare time. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to be recognized as the highest martial arts monk in the White Horse Temple, higher than the four protectors!
Soon, the news came out that there was a celebrity warrior monk in the White Horse Temple, nicknamed the "one-armed flying dragon monk". The world's famous mountain temples have sent people to come here, all want to see the "one-armed flying dragon" of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang City. However, except for Master Yishen, no one knew that he was the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng, the head of the "Six Heroes of Shudong" in the famous Jianghu martial arts world.
