Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 60 The Tao is Different and the Teacher is Clear
Qingcheng Mountain Heavenly Master Temple came to a delicate and lovely little girl, which can make the young disciples in the view of the pot fried, although the master talks about what is pure and has few desires every day, but just as a young man, it is inevitable that there is always some restlessness in his heart.
In the past, in addition to the master and uncle are senior brothers and brothers, it is rare for a female crown of the same age to come to the mountain, which also makes this mountain full of green leaves finally have a flower that can be decorated, not to mention that this little girl still looks extremely gentle, which makes people not happy.
In the end, she is the only daughter of the Sword Saint, she grew up in the White Emperor City, and she didn't know that she had seen famous swordsmen and heroes on the rivers and lakes, so even if she met many Taoist priests with advanced cultivation, the little girl didn't care at all. And after the success of the apprenticeship, on the first day of arithmetic class, this eight or nine-year-old girl gave many young Taoist priests a dismount.
The little girl still uses the abacus, not the abacus that has gradually emerged in recent years, but whether it is the little Taoist priest who practices abacus or abacus, he has been defeated by her. If you don't accept it, after all, people calculate quickly and accurately, and the way of arithmetic must not be ambiguous, and it can't be compared.
Meng Zhenren, who saw this scene outside the door, was extremely pleased, looking at the small figure in a Taoist robe in the field, he had a sense of immediacy that he had picked up a treasure. In order to take care of the face of the Sword Saint, he personally accepted this little girl as an apprentice, and when he heard the Sword Saint say that her daughter was quite proficient in arithmetic, she only regarded it as her father's praise for her daughter, and she never thought that it could reach such an extent.
There is no famous teacher to teach it, so as long as there is a little bit of allocation in the view, this female crown, the future achievements in the way of arithmetic, will far exceed everyone's imagination. At that time, the few people who deceived the world and stole their names in the Qin Tianjian should be covered and sent home, and they in the province relied on their small achievements in the way of arithmetic to deceive the world.
The appearance of the head of the door brought this competition to an end, seeing the head of the house, the little Taoist priest was ashamed, sad, and reacted differently, only Gongsun Ting's fair and beautiful neck, which was showing the posture of a significant winner.
Meng Zhenren touched the little girl's head to show his appreciation, and at the same time spoke to appease the defeated little Taoist priests. "Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that the knowledge is shallow and not self-aware, today the granddaughter crown for everyone to teach a lesson, let us also see their own limits, in the future do not have to be complacent because of some achievements. The future will always belong to you young people who are full of vitality. ”
Meng Zhenren's tone of speech was not hurried or slow, but the encouragement in his words greatly encouraged these young people who had just been frustrated, in the final analysis, they were all at the age of no one to accept anyone, and if they lost once, they would redouble their efforts and win it back.
"Look up at astronomy, look down on geography, take advantage of the atmosphere, and set up a basket. Since the time of Master Puzi, arithmetic has been a compulsory subject for our cultivators, astronomy, geography, calendar, pill ratio, and even unraveling lots, all of which are inseparable from the way of arithmetic. As a Taoist, you don't have to be proficient in everything, but arithmetic, as the most basic subject, must be mastered firmly. ”
"Follow the instructions of the master. Many young Taoist priests replied in unison.
"Good. ”
Jinlong Gorge, one of the eighteen views of Heng Mountain in Beiyue, the former site of the Hanging Temple. Heaven and earth are created here, and in the hazy season of smoke and rain, between the blue sky and a line, it is not like everything in the world. It has also been praised by famous travelers, "Yique Shuangzhi, Wuyi Jiuqu, are not comparable to either." ”
As the news of the imminent birth of the suspended ancient temple spread throughout the Buddhist gate, more and more monks came to make pilgrimages here. After the mysterious disappearance of the Hanging Temple between the cliffs, only a lonely cliff remains. The scenery is beautiful, but unfortunately it has lost its popularity.
At that time, the Hanging Temple was first closed and then disappeared into the world, which was really a great blow to Buddhism. It was supposed to come from bearing the pressure of the temple, which created a situation where the dragons had no leader, which made it worse.
In this cold winter of Buddhism, countless virtuous monks were tossed and even died by hard labor, and countless temples with flourishing incense became decadent ruins, full of desolation.
After the pain, the authorities suppressed the Daomen for a few years in order to balance, and the Buddhism was able to lick the wounds and gradually recover.
It stands to reason that as long as the Daomen and Buddhism contain each other, the people in power will definitely not let either side out, but they will meddle in the management of whichever side is stronger. The balance of power between the two sides is what those in power should maintain.
But after that winter, the Buddhist family presided over the admonition passed down from generation to generation, and never pinned all your hopes on the balance of the temple. If you are really careless and are completely expelled from this land by the Taoist sect, how can you be worthy of the difficulties of the predecessors of the monks to spread the Dharma.
At this time, under the Jinlong Gorge, an old and a young monk are wiping tears on the site of the Hanging Temple, perhaps the grief of Buddhism from prosperity to decline, or it may be to commemorate the deceased teacher here.
The little monk has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the old monk is also meticulous in his dress, but the empty sleeve of his right hand proves that this is a person who has suffered from the world.
"Master, haven't you already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and now the birth of the Hanging Temple has nothing to do with us, why bother to be stumbling over mundane things, and you can't be at ease. ”
The one-armed monk shuddered at the little monk, "I forgot what the teacher taught you? Look at you, I have only been following the abbot for a few days, and I have forgotten the teachings of the teacher, if I really want you to practice Buddhism with the abbot for a few years, won't I, the old monk, be kicked aside at that time?"
Since pretending to pass away in the temple, the master seems to have let go of himself, speaking venomously, and has no previous humiliation and humiliation posture.
"What's the matter, and in my heart I slander that the teacher doesn't have the demeanor of a high monk? The teacher is a swordsman, and the reason why he escaped into the empty door is nothing more than to recognize the concept of Buddhism, what does it have to do with the demeanor of a high monk?"
Well, he not only has a poisonous tongue, but also can figure out other people's mental journeys very accurately, from a solid-eyed martial artist to a thoughtful old monk, the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, and sometimes the little monk even wonders if his master is some kind of spirit.
"What the master said, the apprentice has always been the master in the first place in his heart, and the apprentice will never dare to forget the master's teachings. With two points of dissatisfaction, three points of grievance, and five points of sincerity, it is really just the right expression of emotion.
It's a pity that the old monk didn't eat this set, and it was a violent shock, looking at the innocent eyes of the little monk, the old monk directly revealed: "You kid is not a big boy for the teacher, you can't guess the ghost in your heart, you still want to prevaricate as a teacher, don't you feel that your wings are hard, so you want to fly out to see the world?"
The little monk was full of desire to survive, and hurriedly said: "Of course not, it is a blessing for a disciple to be able to listen to the teachings under the master, just like Senior Brother Lin, but he has inherited the master's sword spectrum, but after all, he lacks a fate that can benefit from the master's side." ”
The old monk finally smiled, "Buddhism will talk about a fate, and there will be a fate in the future, the last time we met, he was still a teenager, and now he has reached the crown." "Thinking back to the passionate years of the two swords to subdue the demons, it is really nostalgic.
Seeing that the master's face was full of reminiscence, the little monk Wenxiu complained in his heart: After the appraisal is completed, Senior Brother Lin, who has never started, is his own apprentice, and I am afraid that the little monk is not a gift from the master to buy something.
The style of painting changed abruptly, and the old monk suddenly asked: "The monks don't speak, Wenxiu, have you ever kept your heart as you said just now?"
"The apprentice naturally abides by the rules and has nothing to hide. ”
The old monk nodded, "Good." ”
In the past, the master had asked him many times, and when life and death were in danger, as long as he could save his life, he would not matter if he lied twice, and I could be regarded as following the master's teachings. Wenxiu little monk said in his heart.
"Master, the apprentice still has a question, I wonder if the master can solve the apprentice's doubts?"
The old monk was stunned by the sudden seriousness of his apprentice, and put away the posture of an old urchin who had seen through the world, "If you have any questions, just ask, and the teacher will naturally answer seriously." ”
"If there is another dispute between the Buddha Gate because of the matter of the Hanging Temple, the master will have to re-emerge to protect the safety of the temple?"
After some serious consideration, the old monk replied, "The Master of the Unprecept has passed away, and the one here is just an old urchin who is obsessed with the way of swords. If Liuhe Temple is in trouble, it is also his own calamity, and he will not make a move as a teacher. ”
"Why did the master show so much interest in this Hanging Temple?"
"I heard that in this hanging temple, there is an excellent opportunity, for the teacher wants to fight for you, if you can't see you put on a robe in this life, it will be a pity after all. ”
Wenxiu knew the master's good intentions at this time, and during this period of time, as the master looked around for clues to the Hanging Temple, he was dusty all the way, and the boat and car were tiring, even if he didn't say it, he inevitably had some complaints in his heart.
"The apprentice thanked the master for his love, and the master's kindness will be unforgettable. The little monk Wenxiu threw himself to the ground and kowtowed respectfully to his master three times.
The old monk accepted it with great emotion, and then quipped: "I fell for the calculation of your little monk, but before becoming a teacher, I just wanted to do my best, but it was useless, and it was nothing." But now that you, a little monk, have spoken out, you have to do it. ”
Wen Xiu Xiaohe hadn't said much, but just smiled shyly.
"You child, born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, if you hadn't watched you grow up since childhood, you would really wonder if you were a girl. ”
The little monk Wenxiu was silent, the master was still the same master, the older he was, the less he was in shape.
