Chapter 1 Red Dust Outside the Fang
It is a nameless mountain, hence the nameless name. There is a temple on the Nameless Mountain, which is named after the mountain, and it is called the Nameless Temple.
In the mountains, the peaks and peaks are stacked, and the emerald green is thousands of acres. Under the sun, it looks very quiet. Although it is not an ancient temple, it has a solemn solemnity for no reason.
Around the ancient temple, 100,000 mountains, those towering trees, spread out the horizontal oblique green leaves, the sunlight is divided into one after another points of light or patches, although it is noon, but it is full of coolness. In the middle of the forest, a path paved with stone steps winds and circles, and I don't know where it leads.
A few sweaty lay disciples were sitting on the stone steps to rest in the cold, and they had to run on this path once a day in the morning and evening, which was the only way to practice martial arts in the Nameless Temple. Obviously, these unlucky people today may be too poor in physical fitness, or they may be fishing and messing around, and they have been left far behind.
However, they were not in a hurry, they were all young men of eighteen or nineteen years old, still young, and could withstand waiting, hunger and fatigue.
In addition, in the Suyang Dynasty, which advocated Buddhism, most of them had a solid family background and went to the nameless temple to be lay disciples because their parents hoped that their children could send a name to the Buddha to ensure that everything was prosperous.
And these lay disciples can go home in two or three years, either inherit the family business, or take the examination to gain fame, no matter how poor they are, they can be rich and rich for a lifetime.
Therefore, these seven or eight lay disciples did not complain, and chatted casually.
Just when it was lively, a melodious piano sound floated up, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched, sometimes solemn, sometimes gentle.
At the end of the song, the sound of the piano had not completely dissipated, and while it was still wandering in the woods, a burst of birds rose out of thin air, and the sound of the piano was drowned, leaving only the sound of wings fluttering.
"Senior Brother Zhujie really lives up to his reputation, looking at this posture, it is estimated that he has improved again!" A disciple looked at the direction from which the sound of the piano came from and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, I heard that he has already practiced the upper volume of the dragon and is ready to practice the next volume, so I'll wait...... It's really out of reach! Another lay disciple was also full of fascination.
The name of the bamboo solution has long been no longer limited to the nameless mountain and nameless temple.
This monk is only twenty years old, but he is already a well-known figure in Zen Buddhism and martial arts. On the one hand, he was originally a closed disciple of the nameless master who presided over the Pure Sky Master, and he had been practicing in this nameless temple since he was a child.
On the other hand, in the thousands of years of the Nameless Temple, no one has cultivated the peerless martial arts Youlong, and most of them have also been thoroughly involved by this monk, and among the younger generation of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that only An Le Jiao Late Zhiyi, Xiao Jixue of Shenwangfu, and Qi Buqi of the Fat Horse Dojo are comparable to them.
Zen monk bamboo solution, the "a mouth of Zen machine lotus fall, half a roll of the dragon to caress the tide" of the good name, has already resounded through the sun.
And among those lay disciples, one of them sat silently and alone, dressed in green clothes, with beautiful eyebrows, looking at the birds in the sky in a daze, with endless yearning.
This look also fell in the eyes of others.
"I said Brother Yunshui, you and Senior Brother Zhujie are the same age, and they were brought back to the temple together by the abbot of the Clear Sky together, the same experience, the same environment, and the same path, why is the difference so big?" One quipped.
"Hey, don't say it, I'm a bystander who thinks the abbot is biased, don't you see? What does the abbot do to Senior Brother Zhujie, and what does he do to Brother Yunshui? As if he couldn't bear Li Yunshui being ridiculed, and as if he was defending Li Yunshui, he said it bluntly.
"This is also true, even for such a trivial matter as shaving, the abbot rejected Brother Yunshui, is this a thing? I don't think so, why do you say the abbot treats him so differently? Another person added.
Li Yunshui listened to everyone's words, smiled indifferently, shook his head slightly, stood up, and said, "The abbot said that my six roots are not exhausted, and it is not suitable to enter the Buddha Gate." ”
"Besides, wouldn't it be nice to be a lay disciple?"
As soon as the words fell, one person quickly took over: "Brother Yunshui, do you think you are stupid?" People have been lay disciples for three years, and you have been doing this for twenty years, you ......"
"What's the matter with you? Brother Yunshui will not be a lay disciple one day, and there will naturally be a good place to go, not to mention anything else, the door of our Jiangnan Su family will always be open for Brother Yunshui, and I, Su Yu, dare to guarantee it with the head of the item! ”
"The pure place of Buddhism, what kind of system are you waiting for here? Why don't you hurry back to the temple and don't want to eat? While a few people were arguing, a shout came, and the sound was like a thunderous bell, which frightened several people to stop their mouths quickly, get up and run to the temple.
The Pure Law Master was always so majestic, not only in his voice, but also in the Precept Hall under his presiding authority, and it is said that the Master Abbot had been punished in the Precept Hall.
Li Yunshui lowered his head, quietly squeezed his eyebrows at Su Yu, expressed his gratitude, and then followed.
After lunch, it was time for meditation and retreat, Li Yunshui and a large group of lay disciples lined up neatly, and when they were walking towards the meditation hall, a little novice walked up to the monk on duty and whispered a few words, and then he heard the monk on duty speak-
"Li Yunshui, go to Huayan Hall, the presiding abbot has something to say to you."
Then, Li Yunshui came out of the queue in an orderly manner, folded his hands, bowed to the monk on duty, and followed Xiao Shami to Huayan Hall.
Huayan Hall is the meditation room of the abbot of the clear space.
Li Yunshui has been there many times, sometimes because of his incomprehension of Zen, sometimes because of his confusion in martial arts, although these two are not as good as Zhu Jie, and it can even be said that he has no achievements, and he has not even figured out his skin, presumably because of his talent, he has no chance to be enlightened, but Li Yunshui's passion has always been very high.
These are just trivial things, and they are not formal requests.
The more formal time was when Li Yunshui was seventeen years old, when he had been in the temple for seventeen years and sent away several lay disciples, and he felt a little embarrassed.
One day, he suddenly thought, anyway, he has no relatives and no support, and it is good to spend his life in this nameless temple!
So, he pleaded with the abbot and became a monk, and from then on he was an ancient Buddha. However, Jingkong rejected him on the grounds that the six roots were not purified and he would never be purified.
Since then, Li Yunshui has not been to Huayan Hall. He thought about it, the current situation is also very good, coming and going, going and coming and going, I am comfortable with the Buddha.
Therefore, the abbot has never taken the initiative to let himself go to Huayan Hall, and this time he even asked Xiao Shami to lead the way, what does this mean? He didn't think that he could enter the abbot's eyes and add up his blue eyes.
If you insist that the abbot has something to do with you, there may only be one point - you were picked up by the abbot.
But what does this mean? Over the years, I haven't received any preferential treatment.
Along the way, Li Yunshui's head was full of question marks.
Huayan Hall is very small, just a humble room; It's very simple, only one bed, one table, two futons. However, it is very mysterious, or sacred, because this is the abbot's meditation room.
can train such an excellent disciple as Zhu Jie, and there are still virtual scholars under the fame?
Clearance was already very old, and although his beard and eyebrows were still so long, they were all gray. His face seemed to be a skin, wrinkled. The only thing that can prove that this old monk is still shrewd and can take on the responsibility of presiding over it is probably the pair of eyes that shoot out a fierce divine light from time to time.
At this time, he was sitting on a futon, and there was another futon on the ground in front of the bed, on which kneeling was a monk of Zhujie.
Li Yunshui has seen the abbot countless times, and he has also seen countless bamboo solutions. The abbot's face was always serious, and there was no superfluous expression, and he had long been surprised. But Zhu Xie is different, on his handsome thin face, he always has a smile, and that smile makes people feel like a spring breeze and feel comfortable.
Goodbye Zhu Jie, Li Yunshui only felt that the demeanor of his senior brother was even more than in the past, especially in those eyes, which were clear, ethereal, and profound, as if he could see everything, and as if everything could be seen in the sky.
Zhu Xie was full of smiles, folded his hands, and nodded slightly to Li Yunshui, Li Yunshui also smiled, nodded slightly, and responded to Zhu Jie.
He stood still in front of the abbot, knelt down with his legs bent, and was about to speak, when he was interrupted by the clear space: "Yunshui, the old man has informed you many times, you are a lay disciple, you are a person in the square, the old man is not subject to your knees, just stand." ”
When Jingkong spoke, the body sitting cross-legged naturally shifted five inches to the right, and stopped in front of Zhu Jie, which was really not subject to Li Yunshui's bowing salute.
Silently, moving the body, its internal force can be seen.
Li Yunshui was already used to this situation, and he didn't say anything at the moment, so he got up and stood aside.
"Brother Yunshui, Master asked you and me to go down the mountain to practice, we have to ask the abbot master for more advice." Seeing this, Zhu Xie spoke softly.
It can be regarded as relieving Li Yunshui, Li Yunshui heard the news of going down the mountain, although he was surprised, he still bowed and bowed slightly: "Thank you Abbot for your kindness, after going down the mountain, I will not discredit the nameless." ”
Although he did not understand the meaning, he could not refuse the abbot, just as he could not refuse the abbot's refusal of his wish to take refuge.
Jingkong waved his hand and said: "Twenty years ago, you went up the mountain with Zhu Jie, and today you went down the mountain together to travel through the world and seek fate, which can be regarded as a coincidence. ”
"Outside the mountain, the red dust is rolling in, dazzling, enough to make people overwhelmed, you and the other two, you must keep your heart!"
The two clasped their hands together and bowed their heads in silence.
Jingkong groped around on his body for a while, and slowly took out two jade pendants.
A pitch-black piece carved with two mighty tigers, their heads raised high, and a sun on top of it was in it.
The other piece is crystal clear, snow-white throughout, with intricate inscriptions and patterns carved on it, I don't know what it means.
The carving of the two pieces of jade is so exquisite, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite.
Jingkong gave the Double Tiger Yao Ripei to Zhu Jie, and the white jade inscription to Li Yunshui, and asked: "These two jade pendants are the objects you had on your body when the old man led you to the nameless. Perhaps, with this object as a guide, you can find your respective origins and witness some creation. It's up to your fate! ”
"Alright, it's still early, let's go down!"
The two of them came to this temple, and before they knew it, twenty years had passed, and it was impossible to say that there was no nostalgia.
They both bowed and walked out.
"Wait!" Just when the two were about to go out, Jingkong stopped the two, he looked at the two young people deeply, and there was a rare confusion in his eyes, as if he had a lot of words, but he couldn't finish speaking, and it took a long time to speak: "Zhu Xie is a gentleman." Zhu Jie, you should understand the meaning of this Dharma name given to you by the teacher...... Don't let down the hard work of Buddhism! ”
He looked at Li Yunshui again, with pity and awe that he had never felt before.
Yes, it's awe.
"Yunshui, all things in the world, should be natural. But if there is injustice, it should be like a great river. ”
"Remember, remember!"
"Go ahead! Go ahead! ”
The two of them turned around and saluted, and then packed up, step by step to the outside of the temple, turned around to see the temple door slowly closed, the word "nameless" on the plaque of the middle door was more solemn and solemn, and the bursts of Sanskrit bells from the meditation hall set off this deep mountain temple so solemn.
Zhu Xie and Li Yunshui knelt towards the temple gate, kowtowed three times, looked at each other and smiled, and walked down the stone steps.
"Senior brother, where are we going?"
"Jiangnan Weaving Mansion!"
"Why?"
"Master said, my jade pendant seems to be from Jiangnan Weaving Mansion."
"What about me?"
"You didn't ask, and Master didn't say anything."
