Bai Yixue had also heard Master Hu Wanggui talk about the spicy scholar Shangguan Fengtong, who was a powerful figure in the Jiangnan martial arts, and thought that Shangguan Fengtong had always made a living by robbing houses and houses, and suddenly appeared here, he must have come for money.

Sang Vulture stared at the middle-aged man who was pretending to be blind for a moment, and then said: "This friend Dark Qingzi's technique is very clever, I think it is Teacher Mu Zixiu of 'Lingxi Gate'? ”

The man who was performing was Mu Zixiu of Lingxi Gate, and he was secretly shocked when he heard this: "This person's eyes are really vicious. He said with a dry smile: "I usually have nothing to do, I like to hum a few words, offer ugliness, offer ugliness." ”

Lingximen is a big secret sect on Liangzhejiang East Road, although its reputation is not as loud as Tangmen, but it is famous in the Jiangnan region, and the leader in the door is a pair of brothers. One of the junior disciples is called Chen Meng, after Yicheng entered the public gate, he commanded the envoy in Lin'an, and once injured Yang Cao with a hidden weapon, and there is also a skilled senior brother, who is Mu Zixiu.

The Mulberry Eagle nodded slightly, and said, "Please forgive me for not knowing respect in the eyes of the vulgar, these friends are ......" After that, he looked at the bald old man and the others at the next table.

Shangguan Fengtong pointed at the bald old man and the white-bearded old man, and said with a smile: "These two old men are the 'two immortals' who are famous and famous, and their sound shocks the rivers and lakes, and no one disrespects and everyone disagrees. ”

The bald old man Ge Shenweng bowed slightly, nodded to everyone, and the white-bearded old man Qu Qisuo stroked his long beard in his hand, sat upright on the seat, poured himself a drink, and ignored it.

Sang Vulture was angry in his heart: "The two immortals are free, which way is that? His grandmother's, and out of nowhere, two old-fashioned old guys appeared?" Hehe smiled and said, "Oh? It turned out to be Old Man Ge and Old Man Qu, who have been famous for a long time." Sang saw Zhiyi today, which was full of comfort. When they met for the first time, Sang invited the two seniors to have a drink, which was not a tribute. With that, he took two wine cups, filled them with wine, and with a flick of his right hand, the two wine cups flew one after the other, and flew flat towards Ge Shenweng and Qu Qisuo, and not a drop of wine spilled on the way. When everyone saw it, they secretly cheered in their hearts.

The bald old man Ge Shenweng waited for the wine glass to arrive in front of him, reached out with his long arms, and took the wine cup in his hand like lightning. Unexpectedly, the mulberry eagle tossed, although the castration of the wine cup was slow, but it implied internal strength, as soon as his palm touched the wine cup, he suddenly felt that the wine cup was hot, as if he was burned by fire, his wrist couldn't help but shake, and suddenly the wine was dripping, and he sprinkled his hand. Ge Shenweng's old face couldn't help but blush slightly, he raised his neck, and drank the rest of the wine cup.

The white-bearded old man Qu Qisuo has always been smiling since he appeared, and he has an unfathomable appearance. The wine cup flew in front of him, but seeing that he was not in a hurry, he suddenly shook his long beard under his chin, and the slender beard instantly unfolded, like a tray, gently holding the wine cup, and then he stretched out his tongue and sucked the wine in the wine cup clean, and laughed: "Good wine, good wine!" The long beard shook, and the wine cup slid down the long beard to the table, and the wine did not stick to the beard.

Shangguan Fengtong, Mu Zixiu and others applauded, Qu Qisuo bowed slightly, took out a wood-grained and elegant peach wood comb from his arms, and combed his long beard as if no one was around. Bai Yixue smiled secretly in her heart: "This old man's beard is a bit evil, it's like a trick." ”

Shangguan Fengtong pointed to the burly man sitting in the same seat and said: "This one is the Songfeng Village of Motianling of Yucang Mountain, the master of Chu Jingzong Chu Village. ”

Sang Vulture knew that Chu Jingzong was a Jiangyang thief who was not afraid of death, and thought secretly: "The noses of these people are really smarter than dogs, and they are here to find the taste." He hugged his fist slightly towards Chu Jingzong, and said lightly: "Master Chu Zhai, fortunately." ”

Chu Jingzong returned the salute and said: "Chu has long admired the name of the 'Shun Geng Eight Sages', and today I am very pleased to see the honorable fan. ”

The white-clothed Xue Xin said: "It turns out that the group of mulberry vultures is called 'Shun Geng Eight Sages'. In this way, there should be a total of eight of them, Mulberry Eagle is their boss, Shen Yan Xing is the second, Kuai Xuan and Tu Jiao are ranked fourth and fifth, and Gao Yu is the seventh. Well, there are still three people missing, and I don't know where they are at the moment, maybe they are coming this way. ”

Shangguan Fengtong pointed at the middle-aged monk again and said, "This is ......."

The mulberry eagle's eyes were like lightning, the eagle stared, and said slowly: "This great monk doesn't need to be introduced, Tingyun Zen Master of the Shaolin School, we are old acquaintances." ”

The middle-aged monk folded his hands and proclaimed the Buddha's name. Bai Yixue saw that Tingyun's face was pale, obviously suffering a very serious internal injury, but his eyes were clear, and the essence was faint, as if he was a monk who had attained the Tao with profound Buddhism, and he was secretly strange in his heart: "The senior monks of the Shaolin faction have always been unconcerned, do not ask about dust, and are far away in Songshan, this Tingyun Zen Master appeared here, is it the same as these Jiangyang thieves, but also for the treasure? Ah, yes, it must be Sang Vulture and others who sneaked into Jiangnan, trying to do wrong, Tingyun Zen Master got the message, and worked tirelessly, and rushed all the way to intercept it. ”

Shaolin Temple was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty of Taihe 19 years (495 years), to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple's thirteen stick monks good protection, Zhi Cao, Hui Ling, Tan Zong and others, because of the help of Tang escort meritorious service, by Tang Taizong Li Shimin's reward, since then, Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world, known as "the world's first temple". Now the head abbot of Shaolin Temple is Zen Master Xingmei, and Tingyun is the eldest disciple of his younger brother Zen Master Xingchang.

Ting Yun said: "Yes." The little monk and the donors do have several relationships. ”

Mulberry Eagle looked around and said coldly: "These good friends, dare to be invited by the master?"

Ting Yun said: "Not bad. These good friends on the rivers and lakes, when they heard that the Sang donors, as well as the donors, were going to come to Jiangnan to make waves, everyone was anxious, and they came to help, and persuaded the donors to repent of their past mistakes and turn back. ”

Mulberry Eagle said coldly: "A month ago, the great monk met with us in Jiangbei, and then followed us all the way south to this point, it was really inseparable, and it was very hard. Great monk, are your injuries getting better?"

Ting Yun covered his chest with his hands, coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Thanks to the mercy of Master Sangshi's subordinates, the little monk will not be able to die for a while." ”

Bai Yixue suddenly realized: "Zen Master Tingyun really got the information and went south alone, just to expose the conspiracy of Sang Vulture and others. Presumably, the two sides have already fought before, and Ting Yun was also injured for this. He also thought: "The Buddha gate is vast, and the Buddha sea is boundless." Like Shun Geng's Eight Sages, who are unscrupulous and obsessive, Shaolin monks also want to do everything possible to help them, and they are unwilling to easily cut off their path to goodness. ”

Sang Vulture: "Although the disciples of Buddhism are not pure, and their bodies are just a stinky skin, which will eventually turn into mud and return to dust, when the World Venerable preached and practiced, he once advocated not suffering and not being happy. If we take too much care of our body, and if we have a slight illness or disaster, we will take a lot of medicine to nourish our body, which is called 'attachment'; if we regard our body as worthless and let it be destroyed, it is also a kind of attachment, which is also 'attachment', which is also undesirable. If the Zen master wants to continue to do good deeds and cultivate blessings, he must use this stinky skin to penetrate the ego, why is he so desperate to force each other with his own body?"

Ting Yun shook his head slightly, and said: "All color methods are made up of the four major combinations, and the little monk has no feet in this body. ”

Shangguan Fengtong suddenly sneered and said: "Zen Master Tingyun abandoned his own body and worried about others, he has a great compassion that does not bear the suffering of sentient beings, you are an ordinary man, how can you understand?"

Mulberry Vulture's face sank, and he turned his head to stare at Shangguan Fengtong, who was fearless and looked at each other angrily.

Ting Yun Heshi said: "Amitabha! Shangguan Shizhu, your words are wrong, Sangshi is by no means an ordinary man, but a person with great wisdom and great freedom, and the little monk really admires it. ”

Mulberry Eagle said: "The Zen master is too famous. ”

Ting Yun said: "If the heart is Bodhi, then it is like a lamp, entering the dark room, a hundred thousand years of darkness can be broken, and all karmic obstacles will be gone. Lord Sangshi has great wisdom and great freedom, why should he continue to be delusional and eliminate bad karma, and all blessings are round?"

Sang Vulture put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Sang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has long looked down on life and death, so he has never let go of right and wrong, grievances and grievances." In the lower mortal world, there is no Buddha nature in the body, and the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are like mirrors covered with dust, and they are not pure. The Zen master is dedicated to the Dharma, and has reached the wonderful realm of emptiness and brightness, and it is really difficult for Sang to hope for it, and he does not have this extravagant hope. ”

Tingyun sighed: "Buddha-nature beings are self-sufficient, like the wheel of the sun, and their bodies are clear and complete, but they are only covered by clouds and do not know themselves. Master Sang, when will there be an end to the rights and wrongs in the world, the grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes......?

The Mulberry Eagle interrupted: "The Bodhisattva fears the cause, and all beings fear the effect. Sang is just a martial artist, and what he does is nothing more than the word 'fruit', as for whether this 'fruit' is good or bad, whether he wins or loses in the end, he is willing to bear it. The Zen master does not need to persuade again. ”

Ting Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "What if it's a 'bitter fruit'?"

Sang Vulture said: "If the 'bitter fruit' is tied to its own suffering, then it can't be blamed by others." ”

Ting Yun's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said: "Cause and effect are not empty, good and evil are rewarded." Master Sang Shi did not listen to the advice, refused to confess his sin and eliminate his karma, and insisted on going his own way, even if the little monk lost his life, he had to accompany him to the end. ”

Bai Yixue admired it in her heart: "Be kind and brave." This Tingyun Zen Master is really compassionate, knowing that the situation is very dangerous, and he has no hesitation. ”

Shangguan Fengtong "snapped" a piece of paper fan in his hand, shook it lightly, and said: "Yes, the good and evil karma in the world has its own cause, and it has its own cause and effect. The Jin people occupy our rivers and mountains, deceive our people, and the sons and daughters of China all rise up to resist the cruelty of the Jin people. He came all the way to get rid of your hatred and harmful thoughts, so that your worries would not arise. I also advise you that the righteousness of the festival must not be ambiguous, or to see through the maze as soon as possible, and not to be a descendant of the unscrupulous who forgets his ancestors, and will still be infamous after death. ”
