Fengshan Village is located in the west of Xinzhou County, more than 50 kilometers away from the county seat, along the way are nine bends and eighteen bends of the rugged mountain road, the mountain is high and the road is steep, tigers and beasts often haunt and hurt people, the real is: the bad luck is uncertain.

Fan Wenju watched Zhang Shaofei leave the county office, looked at his distant back, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and said: Zhang Ting, take care of your own life. ”

Zhang Shaofei received the letter, stepped out of the county office, and walked alone along the direction of Tianlu Mountain.

The wind is bleak, and the wilderness is vast.

A thorny winding mountain road, leading to Tianlu Mountain in the reckless and vast twenty-four mountains, a lonely goose soars in the empty sky, accompanied by Zhang Shaofei to move alone.

When night fell, passing through the Longshan Temple, Zhang Shaofei saw that it was late, stayed in the temple, and there was an old monk in the middle of the night to chat.

The old monk looked at Zhang Shaofei and said, "Lao Na's ancestral home is from Fanyang, Hebei, and he is a neighbor of Zhang Tingshi. ”

When Zhang Shaofei heard this, he suddenly felt the intimacy of meeting a fellow countryman.

After some politeness, the old monk got straight to the point: "Let me ask you, what is your opinion on the 'precepts', 'wisdom' and 'concentration' among the six paramitas?"

Zhang Shaofei replied: "The heart is nothing more than the 'precept' of self-nature, the heart is free of foolishness and self-nature 'wisdom', and the heart is free of chaos and self-nature 'determination'. ”

The old monk further said, "If you become Huizu one day, what will you do?"

Zhang Shaofei said humbly: "I am an exiled grass people, how can I become a Huizu?"

The old monk had clear eyes and stared at Zhang Shaofei: "Lao Na is a hypothesis, what you think in your heart, you can answer it, there is no need to hide it." ”

Zhang Shaofei expressed his chest directly: "With the emptiness, that is, the heart is sex, and the head is wise." Everything is wise, pointing directly to people's hearts, and having an epiphany becomes wisdom. ”

The old monk pointed out: "This is the method of your wisdom. ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "Wisdom is a natural life and a human spirit. It is a method of practice that goes directly into the thing itself, beyond the self of the object. In order to grasp the truth and totality of life and life, in a word, it is a kind of spiritual realm of enlightenment. ”

"Good! You have a great talent for self-realization, and this kind of seeking wisdom from the root of the soul is what the old man wants!" The old monk felt a burst of joy in his heart, "I have wisdom and wisdom, and I have no appearance in reality, and I will tell you." ”

Zhang Shaofei reverently said: "I hope that the master will be enlightened." ”

The old monk reverently said: "Lao Na told you the poem that my teacher gave me." ”

Wang Wenfei bowed his jaw and said: "The younger generation listens to you. ”

The old monk read: "If there is affection to plant, the cause and effect will be alive." Ruthlessness has neither seed, nor sex. ”

After Zhang Shaofei heard this, he suddenly realized.

The old monk then stood up, his face was very solemn and serious: "Lao Na has inspected many dragon elephant talents, but the depth is dull and sharp, I know everything. Zen Hui is the same sect, and the burden of Zen Hui can only be paid to the talent of the elephant king. I have examined you many times and confirmed that you are endowed with natural gifts and have excellent understanding, and I made this decision after repeated comparisons. ”

Zhang Shaofei gratefully: "Thank you for the master's cultivation." ”

The old monk said: "Don't thank me, this is your wisdom fruit, and it is also the destiny of the days." However, before I teach the Dharma, I have to tell you a story about 'smiling flowers'. ”

"Smile at the flowers?" Zhang Shaofei was thoughtful.

"Hmm." The old monk put the first point and then said, "One day, the Buddha Shakyamuni gave his "ten disciples" the Dharma on Vulture Mountain, and someone sent a flower, and Shakyamuni showed the flower to everyone without saying a word.

What does this mean? Subodhi, who is the strongest in enlightenment, Sariputta, who is the most powerful in wisdom, Fu Louna, who can speak well, Mulian, who has great powers, and Ananda, who is accompanied by Shakya, can't understand, so everyone has to look at each other in a blank manner, only Mahakala is smiling.

"When Shakyamuni saw this, he said, 'I have the Dharma-Hidden Eye, the Nirvana Wonderful Mind, and the subtle method of Reality and Appearance, which has now been passed down to Kasya.' ”

Speaking of this, the old monk inquired and asked Zhang Shaofei: "Do you know how Shakya taught the Fa?"

Zhang Shaofei's eyes shone with wisdom, and he replied: "The true meaning of life, from the heart of Shakya, will definitely be transmitted to the heart of Ka Ye, why is this a burden of language?"

"Good! Good!" The old monk was deeply pleased with Zhang Shaofei's understanding, he immediately explained the Zen method to Zhang Shaofei, and Zhang Shaofei immediately understood thoroughly: any Zen wisdom is inseparable from people's own nature, so he asked the old monk: "I didn't expect that my own nature was unstained and pure; It did not occur to me that any kind of wisdom comes out of man's own nature. ”

"Ah, you have truly understood the nature of Zen wisdom. If you don't know the essential problem, there is no benefit in learning Zen wisdom. If you know your own essence and realize your true appearance, you will be called a great husband, a heavenly teacher, a human teacher, that is, Huizu. Then the old monk taught Zhang Shaofei the secrets of the Dunjiao method and discernment.

Zhang Shaofei listened, listened, and seemed to float all over his body, wandering to a realm of Zen wisdom with golden light, and all chaos and foolishness were swept away......

Parting, the old monk said earnestly: "You are a genius of heaven, with a bright future, and I hope that Zen wisdom will be achieved as soon as possible and benefit all sentient beings." And gave Zhang Shaofei a gold bowl and a robe.

The next day, Zhang Shaofei set off to find the old monk who said goodbye last night, and the monk said that there was no old monk. Wang Wenfei searched all over the place, only to see that on the hall of the six ancestors, the statue of Wang Wenfei, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, resembled the old monk who visited last night, and immediately had an epiphany, and said: "The six ancestors taught me the law in their dreams!" When he finished speaking, he fell down and bowed.

Leaving the Longshan Temple, Wang Wenfei went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally entered the deep area of Tianlu Mountain.

Raise your eyes to look around, but see that the mountains are dark and dreary, and there are no people.

This is the kingdom of wild animals.

In the depths of the vast mountains, a peak was born, standing between heaven and earth.

On a flat field under the cliffs of the valley, the flames were blazing, and several hunters were performing worship rituals in the night.

At the bottom of the cliff, there is a black and slimy cave, like a greedy mouth.

On the stone table in front of the cave were charred boar heads, bloody pheasants, and antlers with half a skull.

There is a winding dark passage on the side of the cave, which is a passage that runs through the coastal area outside the mountain, and the locals call this passage the ancient post road of tea horses.

On the ancient post road, there are occasional pleasant horse bells to break the silence in the mountain, and the horse gangs from the coastal area outside the mountain carry the exchanged materials to walk back and forth on the ancient post road, bringing a unique scenery to the ancient post road.

There is a huge grassland in the mountain col that is the handover place for the exchange of goods by the horse gang, and it is also the place to welcome the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, so it is called the horse pass.

There is a large meadow near Jiema'ao, which is the Tiangangping where merchants from all over the world gather.

Tiangangping, also known as Tiangangweiping, is a prosperous trading center and a place for selling martial arts.

Every 1st, 4th, and 7th polder days, the people of Tianlu Mountain will go to Tiangang Weiping to take advantage of the Wei, and Tiangang Weiping will be crowded, very lively.

The people on the coastal side outside the mountains and the people of Tianlu Mountain will take advantage of the excitement to come with all kinds of seafood and all kinds of mountain goods, bargain and exchange, and then return satisfied.

This is the case, every year, every year.

Zhang Shaofei came to the entrance of the ancient post road and saw that there were horse gangs walking by from time to time on the road.

When Zhang Shaofei's life should not be extinguished, he followed the horse gang to Tiangang Pingwei.

Zhang Shaofei let out a long sigh of relief and raised his head to look at the sky, "Ouch! "It's already dawning.

Zhang Shaofei saw a middle-aged man in front of him, so he stepped forward to ask for directions. "This strong man, how about going to Fengshan Village?"

The man turned sideways and pointed to the road on the left: "This small mountain road leads to our Fengshan Village, and further inside is a mountain col with steep mountains and dense forests, you can take this road." ”

"Thank you, Strongman!" After Zhang Shaofei thanked him, he went to the road on the left. ......

In the early morning of Tianlu Mountain, a round of red sun rises from the east, and ten thousand golden rays shoot through the blood-red colorful glow, scattering a piece of broken gold on the mountain, rippling with the breeze, like a golden whip, driving away the flying clouds and mist.

In the vast mist, it is as colorful as a rainbow.

On the other side of the mountain, a gorgeous rainbow appeared, which seemed to open the door to Zhang Shaofei to enter Fengshan Village.

Mountain rhododendrons and wild lilies on the side of the road are competing for beauty, and birds are chasing and playing in the forest...... Tianlu Mountain is like a fairyland on earth.

Not far away, I saw some roofs faintly exposed in the dense forest, and not far away, the "Fengshan Village" boundary monument came into Zhang Shaofei's eyes.

"Fengshan Village, I've finally arrived!" Zhang Shaofei raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and walked towards Fengshan Village like a smoke.

Unknowingly, Zhang Shaofei came to Fengshan Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou County. A small river flows in front of the village......

Fengshan Village is also called "Lejia Village", and some of the villagers are surnamed Le, they are the descendants of Le Jin, the right general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and moved south here to escape the war. In order to commemorate their ancestors and cherish the township thousands of miles away, they called the part of the village where they lived "Lejia Village".

At this time, Zhang Shaofei was feeling thirsty, so he went to the river to pluck a handful of clear river water to drink.

Suddenly, I heard a shout of "help" from a distance.

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly ran away, and as soon as he passed out of a mountain cliff, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Alan? ”

It turned out that a woman who was born like his unmarried fiancée, Lu Huilan, was chased by a tiger and was getting closer and closer.

Zhang Shaofei subconsciously picked up a stone from the side of the road and removed an arm-thick branch from the big tree next to him, and bravely greeted him, "Sister Alan, don't panic, I'll save you!" Zhang Shaofei was in a hurry, and actually regarded the woman as his unmarried fiancée.

When the woman saw a strange man calling her name to save her, she ran as fast as she could.

Zhang Shaofei said to the woman from a distance: "Sister Alan, don't be afraid, you quickly hide behind the big tree behind me, and wait for me to deal with this tiger." ”

"Hmm." The woman obediently ran behind the tree and hid.

When the tiger saw that the woman was gone, but there was a man standing in the middle of the road, it roared and pounced on Zhang Shaofei with its teeth and claws.

Zhang Shaofei flexibly dodged to the right and dodged. The tiger leaping high into the air and fell heavily to the riverbank.

Zhang Shaofei took advantage of the tiger's fall to the ground, put down the stone in his right hand, quickly raised the branch with both hands, and slammed it into the tiger's buttocks.

The tiger was beaten a few times by Zhang Shaofei, it roared like thunder in pain, one somersaulted, rolled on the ground a few times, twisted around, the two tiger eyes stared at him, shooting out a faint cold light.

Zhang Shaofei thought to himself: Now that it has become difficult to ride a tiger, you must not retreat. Once you retreat, you risk being eaten by the tiger that pounces on you.

So, Zhang Shaofei also widened his eyes and shot two swords of light at the tiger, and the man and the tiger became confrontational.

Seeing that the man did not retreat, the fierce tiger couldn't help but lie down with its forelimbs, "whew", and then jumped up in the air, opened its bloody mouth, bared its sharp teeth, and pounced on Zhang Shaofei again.

Zhang Shaofei quickly picked up the stone and shouted, "Go!" "The stone hit the tiger in the eye like a cannonball.

The tiger was hit in the eye by Zhang Shaofei, and it was very painful, and it rolled on the ground several times until it rolled down the cliff......

The woman was frightened, walked out from behind the big tree, and stepped forward to thank Zhang Shaofei: "Thank you to the officials for coming to the rescue." ”

"You're welcome......" Zhang Shaofei heard that this was not Zhang Yulan's familiar voice, and couldn't help but look at her, and then he suddenly realized that in a hurry just now, he mistakenly regarded her as a daughter-in-law who had not passed the door.

So, Zhang Shaofei said embarrassedly: "Girl, ...... just now"

"The little woman is about to ask the official, how do you know my name?" After the rescued woman took a breath, she looked at the life-saving benefactor in front of her.

Zhang Shaofei looked at her curiously, "Oh, it turns out that your name is also Alain?" ”

The woman introduced herself and said, "The little woman's name is Le Zhidan, her milk name is Alan, and her family lives in Lejiazhai, also called Fengshan Village." Who are you? ”

Zhang Shaofei said frankly: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Shaofei. ”

Le Zhidan clasped his hands and said, "Brother Fei, please accept the little girl's worship." "Kneel.

Before Zhang Shaofei could kowtow, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, waved his hand and said, "...... Adam"

Zhang Shaofei felt that it was very difficult to call Adan, maybe he was used to calling Zhang Yulan "Alan Mei", which was very smooth, besides, her milk name was Alan, so she still called him Alan Mei......

Zhang Shaofei looked at her and asked, "I...... Can I call you Sister Alain? ”

"Of course you can," she said cheerfully. ”

Zhang Shaofei wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, "Sister Alan, don't do this big gift, it's actually nothing, will I watch you, a big living person, be eaten by a tiger?"

Le Zhidan looked at Zhang Shaofei carrying his bags and couldn't help asking, "Brother Ah Fei, are you passing by here, where do you want to go?"

When Zhang Shaofei asked, he replied truthfully: "I was originally Zhang Shaofei, the assassin of Zhongzhou in the imperial court, who was falsely accused by traitors and sent to Lingnan Xinzhou to serve the people, and the Xinzhou prefect sent me to Fengshan Village, Tianlu Mountain. ”

"Ah, you were a court official!" Le Zhidan was taken aback and looked at Zhang Shaofei sympathetically.

"Alas," Zhang Shaofei sighed, shook his head, and helplessly, "I'm no longer a Zhongzhou assassin, and I'm dismissed for the people." ”

"Brother Fei, you were framed by traitors, don't be discouraged, you will eventually be wronged, and the day you will see the sun when you clear the dark clouds." Le Zhidan comforted him with care.

At this time, a few early birds "squeaked" and swept overhead, she looked up at the birds, and said: "Brother Fei, the early birds have worms, it just so happens that I am from Fengshan Village, you must have walked so far, it must have been very hard." Come to my house for a while and get to know my family first. ”

Zhang Shaofei thought about it with his head and asked, "Sister Alan, who are some of the people in your family?" ”

"My father, my mother, and a sister, a second brother, and a younger sister, my mother fell ill half a month ago and went to my grandmother's house for treatment." Le Zhidan sincerely introduced.

Zhang Shaofei hesitated: "Sister Alan, this ...... I'm a criminal, so I won't cause trouble for your family, right? ”

Le Zhidan said quickly: "Brother Fei, since we are all brothers and sisters, what are we doing outside?" Let's go into the village. ”

Zhang Shaofei rubbed the bag he was carrying with his hand and said, "Okay then." So, he followed Le Zhidan down the mountain and headed towards Fengshan Village.
