Pan Long quietly left the unknown courtyard, quite amused in his heart.

When I arrived in Guangling City, it was less than a whole day, but I actually had an apprentice and a wife, and the apprentice was quite talented, and my wife was also very beautiful.

"This place seems to have a lot of fate with me, a treasure of feng shui. He muttered and couldn't help but laugh.

The woman wanted to arrange for Xiao Cui to be given to him, but he didn't have a problem with that.

Judging from what these people said, Xiao Cui's style is not bad, not the kind of goods with corrupt morals. As for spies or something...... The thing that Pan Long needs to keep secret is nothing more than the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Since he already knew Xiao Cui's identity, he would naturally be able to prepare in advance, and it would be impossible for her to discover the secret of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

...... Of course, the most important reason is that this woman's appearance is too high, so high that as long as she is a normal man, it is difficult to refuse her ruthlessly.

"Forget it, what am I thinking! It's okay to find a spy by my side?

Pan Long pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled.

The chaotic thoughts are gone, and the smart IQ will naturally reoccupy the high ground. He began to wonder about the woman who wanted to take advantage of him.

Although he had long estimated that there would definitely be many people who wanted to take advantage of him, seeing it with his own eyes made it feel very different.

It's just that...... Use yourself to ward off disasters?

The way to ward off disasters is to give a charming beauty to himself as a wife?

...... He wasn't able to understand the train of thought.

After pondering for a while, he felt that he should take the initiative to stand up and talk to the woman to understand the other party's thoughts.

Based on the words just heard, there is still too little information.

So he canceled his stealth and walked casually for a while, and sure enough, he was followed by a few people who were obviously spies.

Then, Pan Long jumped up to one of the spies and grabbed him.

"Why do you keep following me?" he asked knowingly, "Guangling City is so big and there are so many people, why do you have to keep an eye on me?"

The spy looked panicked, barely squeezed out a smile, and explained: "This is all Pan Daxia, your magical powers, people dare not care." ”

Pan Long frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

But he didn't pursue anything further, but said: "Since you have been caught by me, then even if you are unlucky, accompany me to visit this Guangling City." ”

"Huh?"

"You don't want to? ”

“...... No, no, no, the villain is very willing!" The spy quickly came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

He is not a fool, and if he doesn't say no, he will not be killed and injured by a slap, and he can't forgive himself just by missing the opportunity.

Wealth and danger are in danger, and it is too late for others to envy this master who may be the strongest master in the entire young generation of Great Xia!

Pan Long smiled: "In that case, take me for a walk in Guangling City...... Well, I'm more interested in academics, Guangling City should have a school palace and a academy, right?"

"Naturally, there is, our Guangling Academy has a long history, dating back to the Warring States Period, and it is a famous monument in the world. ”

"So, what about Taoist temples and Buddhist temples?"

"There are not many Taoist temples in Guangling, and there are no particularly famous ones. There are quite a few Buddhist temples. Among them, Baoxiang Temple, Daming Temple, Tianning Temple, Tian'en Temple are the most famous, Tian'en Temple is the imperial court hand-picked, every year to hold a big sacrifice, the other three Buddhist temples have a history of hundreds of years or even more than a thousand years, very long. ”

"Forget about Tian'en Temple, introduce me to three other Buddhist temples. ”

"Baoxiang Temple is the lotus flower sect, the abbot Tian'en Zen master is powerful, once preached in the Tongtian River, countless lotus flowers emerge in the river, believers all ascend the lotus to listen to the lecture, it can be called a spectacle. Daming Temple is Zen Buddhism, Mingde Zen Master, Minghui Zen Master, Mingfa Zen Master, are all high monks. Tianning Temple is a Vinaya sect with strict precepts and does not usually receive guests. But if they just went to see and worship, they didn't refuse, but they didn't accept sesame oil gifts and the like. ”

Pan Long nodded slightly: "At this time, it's not a good idea to disturb the students of the academy. Then take me to visit these three Zen monasteries in turn. ”

The spy nodded again and again, leading the way. Soon, the two came to the Baoxiang Temple located in the west of Guangling City.

The scale of this Buddhist temple is quite huge, from the mountain gate to the back, the bright yellow glazed tiles stretch out for fear that there are two or three miles, far away can smell the sandalwood fragrance in the air, inside the big incense burner outside the mountain gate, the green smoke rises more than two zhang high. You can also see an endless stream of good men and women who are either going to worship or have just returned from worship.

The two walked in the crowd of worshippers, crossed the mountain gate, only to see the huge square filled with green smoke, dozens of wide copper tripods are filled with burning incense, in the smoke, countless sparks are bright and extinguished, accompanied by the sound of monks chanting in the hall not far away, people can't help but feel a solemn meaning.

The spy also lowered his voice and said, "At this time, the monks should be doing their morning service. If you want to pay your respects, don't go into the hall for the time being, you can take a look at the side halls and gardens on both sides. ”

Pan Long did not refuse and followed him all the way.

There are many side halls of Baoxiang Temple, each of which enshrines different Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. As for the main hall, it is naturally the "Pure Land Master" Amitabha Zun who is believed in by the Lianhua Sect - that is, the one who helped Pan Long top the jar and carried the black cauldron.

Pan Long followed the spies all the way, and every time he came to a side hall, the spies explained to him.

This person is worthy of doing intelligence work, and he is really well-informed. There are dozens of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, and he is like a number of treasures, each of whom can tell the ins and outs clearly, and even introduce some stories about these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

"It's a pity that you are a spy, and it's not bad to be a tour guide in a Buddhist temple. Pan Long couldn't help but say.

"Hero, you are joking, where do you need a tour guide in the Buddhist temple, good men and women, I am much more familiar with the stories of the Buddha and Bodhisattva than I am. ”

While talking, the two walked into the "Pure Glass Palace", and happened to see the woman with sharp eyes sitting on the futon, opposite an old monk with a plump face and a white beard that almost hung down to his abdomen. A young novice and several of her attendants stood by and did not say a word.

"Donor, it is not supernatural powers that resolve murder, but compassion. Whatever Dharma you want to learn, the old monks will teach you everything. But if you want to suppress murderous nature with supernatural powers...... With all due respect, the old monk said bluntly, this is to raise the soup to stop the boiling, and it cannot be counted on. ”

The woman sighed and said, "Master Tianxiong, I also understand what you said. But if I want to put down my glory and wealth to concentrate on cultivating Buddha, I really can't do it. ”

The old monk had a word of advice, no one is perfect, just as there is no perfect thing in heaven and earth. You are naturally murderous, both a demon obstacle and a chance. If you don't want to practice the Dharma and dispel the killing nature with compassion, it is better to seek out the magician, make a magic weapon, and put the killing spirit in it. ”

"That solves the problem?"

“...... It's just a stopgap measure. The old monk sighed, "The biggest advantage of this method is that if the murderous nature is so strong that it is difficult to suppress it, you can destroy the magic weapon to severely damage the murderous nature." Although it will also hurt itself, it is at least better than being killed and controlled in reverse. ”

"Is there any harm to that?"

"Naturally, there are also some things, first of all, this magic weapon is difficult to make, so it is needless to say. Secondly, since this magic weapon entrusts your murderous nature, it is closely related to you. It's a short time, but after a long time, it will be connected to your breath, and when you destroy it, you yourself will be hurt a lot - kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, this is a helpless move. ”

"That'...... What if I make a magic weapon, entrust it with murderous intent, and then quickly destroy it?" the woman quickly thought of a solution, and asked with great interest.

The old monk sighed deeply: "Monks don't say anything extravagant and wasteful. ”

The woman smiled: "Thank you Master for your guidance!"

The old monk closed his eyes and said nothing.

Pan Long listened to their conversation from afar and asked the spies beside him, "Who are these two?"

"That master is Tianxiong Zen Master, although he rarely preaches the scriptures, but he is also a high monk. The...... It is the successor of the 'think twice' martial arts family. ”

Pan Long smiled, he finally knew what the origin of this woman who was behind his own idea.

The Great Xia Dynasty had many famous families with a long history, and Yangzhou was no exception. The "think twice" samurai is one of them.

The reputation of this family was mentioned by Pan Long more than once when he walked the rivers and lakes. They originally started out in business, but later a generation of family owners said that "businessmen make money, but after all, it is just a passing thing", so they changed their ways and engaged in manufacturing.

Today, they are the most famous furniture merchants and paper merchants in Yangzhou, and the Wujia's Guangling bamboo paper is very famous for its marketing in various places, and it is often bought even in the north.

As for the origin of the name "think twice" of the samurai family, it is said that the first head of the family once studied with a sage, but failed to succeed. When he said goodbye to the sage and went into business, the sage gave him this sentence, advising him not to be impatient when he encountered things in the future, and to think repeatedly before making a decision.

Later, his business gradually grew and branched out, and he took this sentence as the family motto.

Nowadays, this motto is engraved on many goods sold by the samurai, and it has become the trademark of the samurai.

Pan Long and the spy were chatting, and the woman had already saluted Zen Master Tianxiong, stood up from the futon, and turned around in the company of her entourage, ready to go out.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, she saw Pan Long who was looking at the side hall near the door, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"What a coincidence...... she muttered to herself in a very low voice, then frowned, hesitated, and walked over anyway.

"In Xia Guangling Wu Jixing, I have seen Pan Daxia. She introduced herself in a masculine way, "The heroes come here to visit the Buddhist temple, don't they also want to learn Buddhism?"

"Northland Panlong ...... 'think twice' martial artist, and I have admired it for a long time. Pan Long said politely, and then replied, "I didn't intend to study Buddhism, but I once saw a man with a magic knife before, that person was very vicious and vicious, although I killed him at the time, but in hindsight, I always felt that maybe I should find some means to restrain such people." ”

"I see. That hero is indeed in the right place, this Tianxiong Zen master has profound Buddhism and profound knowledge, and may be able to solve the doubts of the hero. Wu Jixing gave an equally masculine bow and left the side hall with his entourage.

Pan Long was slightly surprised, he originally planned to "send it to the door" by himself, Wu Jixing should have arranged for the beautiful woman named Xiaocui to talk to him, but unexpectedly, she chose to come over to talk in person...... Naturally, this was much more respectful than having her entourage talk, but it was obviously not quite the same as her previous plan.

But he didn't chase him out and ask, but walked in front of the Tianxiong Zen Master.

Before he could speak, Zen Master Tianxiong opened his eyes first and shook his head: "The donor has great merits, and you can't solve the problem, let alone the old monk." ”

Pan Long smiled and said, "You are not the first person to say that I have merit, but I still don't understand, I am just an ordinary man, how can I have merit?"

"The old monk doesn't understand either, maybe it was brought by his previous life. Zen Master Tianxiong said, "The matter of reincarnation is so wonderful that even the Venerable Ones cannot fully understand it." But the old monk thought that it didn't make much sense to ask 'how it came about'. It is not the past that matters, but the present and the future. Donor, you should consider how to make good use of this merit. ”

"Please teach me, Master. Pan Long saluted and sat down on the futon.

The old monk smiled slightly, took out a thin Buddhist scripture out of thin air, and handed it to him.

This is the "Sutra of Retribution", which expounds the principle of the cycle of cause and effect. The donor may wish to read it at his leisure, which may be of some help. ”

Pan Long took the Buddhist scriptures and opened them to take a look, but saw that they were talking about all kinds of karma, nothing more than planting melons and getting melons, planting beans and getting beans, and there was no profound Buddhist principle.

If it is special, it is that the words on this sutra are not printed, but handwritten. I don't know if it was written by the master himself, or if it was copied by the monks in the temple.

He wanted to ask again, but Zen Master Tianxiong closed his eyes again, looking like he was meditating.

Pan Long sighed, saluted, and got up to leave.

He really didn't understand how such a sutra could help the goal of making good use of merit.

Could it be that in the future, when you encounter those treacherous and vicious people, you can take out the Buddhist scriptures and read the previous paragraph, telling a story about evil and evil retribution, so that the enemy can repent and change his ways?

Then the author of this Buddhist scripture is afraid that he is not a bald head, called Yuri, holding a red banner high all day long, and blowing up the Statue of Liberty or something......

He shook his head, put away the Buddhist scriptures, and walked out of the side hall accompanied by the guide and spies, but saw that Wu Jixing and his party had not left and were waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing himself come out, Wu Jixing smiled slightly, and walked over with his entourage again.

This time, that little cui took a step forward and stayed by her side.
