Chapter 55: Taixuanguan
On April 3 of the second year of Renshou, the Great Seal monk still carried the package cross-body, dusted the old linen monk's clothes, wore straw sandals, and carried a sword into the Daxing City of the Great Sui. The wide and straight Zhuquemen Street, pedestrians follow one after another, people of Han people, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic various exotic styles come and go, it is extremely lively, and all kinds of caravans and people flow from other streets into Zhuquemen Street and then divert to various places, and the river is endless.
After the battle between the Great Seal and Shi Zhixuan Qinling Barren Mountains and Wild Mountains, he entered the Daxing City of the Great Sui, and after three days of shopping in Daxing City, he disappeared into the rivers and lakes, and no one knew where he went, but the legend of his sword defeat of Shi Zhixuan flowed out of the rivers and lakes.
The battle between the Great Indian monk and Shi Zhixuan was originally unattended, but the news of the Great Seal High Monk's sword defeat of the big devil Shi Zhixuan still spread out, and it was spread that there was a nose and an eye, and even the place of the fight was leaked out, leading everyone to call each other friends to go and watch, and the traces of the on-site hand-to-hand attracted everyone to only smack their tongues, and it confirmed the name of the world's first master of the Great Indian monks。
At this time, the Great Seal Monk is on Huashan, following the memory, vaguely found the station of the Huashan faction in the later generations, no one has moved in yet, after a lot of money was sprinkled, a Taoist temple with two courtyards and two houses was quickly built on the deep mountain, and the three words "Taixuan Temple" were hung at the door, and the Great Seal monk called himself Taixuan Taoist.
At this time, the shabby linen monk robe of the Taixuan Taoist people is gone, and it has become a blue and blue brocade robe, with a yin and yang gossip map embroidered on the back of the chest, changing the poor appearance of being a monk before, with red lips and white teeth, a delicate and handsome face, the hair is tied in a bun, the top bun is pinned with a green hosta, and the feet are on the "cloud shoes" made of white cloth socks and boat-shaped linen, which looks like a green lotus from a distance, and is detached from the dust and fluttering like a fairy.
After the Taixuan Dao Humane Temple was built, it was already three months later, and every morning he climbed the Chaoyang Feng, accepted the purple qi, and then watched the heaven and earth to understand the Yin and Yang Song Sutra, swallowed the weather aura, swayed the sword qi, ate and ate in the wind, and lived happily like a fairy.
After the Taixuan Taoist finished the August 15th alone, he sat on the recliner in the front yard casually, lazily slept under a big pine tree, and a young monk with an honest face in his twenties came to the door of the Taoist temple.
"Senior Brother Dashi, why are you here, come in and sit!" Taixuan hurriedly stood up, and saw that it was another apprentice of Master Jiaxiang of Qixia Temple, who grew up with him since he was a child and slept in the same room as Dashi.
"Senior brother, no need, I'm here to pass the word, Master asked me to ask if you are still willing to go back to Qixia Temple?" Dashi waved his hand to show that he was not welcome, and looked at this famous junior brother who grew up together since childhood and now broke through the door again, and asked.
"Master picked me up and went back to the temple and persuaded me to let go of my thoughts and feel at ease. Realize the true heart and emptiness, and get the wonderful awakening from yourself. Since I went down the mountain to subdue the demon with the sword, the red dust refines the heart, now I have the original heart, I don't have to go back to the temple, where do I not practice, the origin and the fate are extinguished, and the Buddha and the Tao are of the same origin" Taixuan was silent for a while and replied.
"Amitabha, I already know, I will tell the master the truth, take care!" said Dashi, who put his palms together and said, turned around and left.
On Qixia Mountain, in Qixia Temple, Jiaxiang listened to Dashiyuan's narration, and did not speak for a long time. I went up the back mountain alone, stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the red maple leaves all over the mountain in a daze, and muttered to myself: "When you put down your thoughts, you can be at ease." Realize the true heart and emptiness, and get the wonderful awakening from yourself. You are chic to let go, the poor monk is in the Buddha's door, but his heart can't help but fall into the rolling red dust, where can you put down this Buddhism's great foundation, there is a thought, how to let go!"
At this point, there is no large-scale propaganda of the Great Yin monks on the rivers and lakes, as if the whole person disappeared into the world, but the first master in the world still spontaneously stayed in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes, and hit the demon gate four times, each time it was remarkable, leaving a legend of the rivers and lakes.
In July of the fourth year of Renshou, Yang Jianxu and Yang Guang ascended the throne, and a new chapter began in the world. Taixuan has been isolated from the world on the mountain, but he still heard the rumors, Yang Jian died mysteriously in Renshou Palace, the legend is that Yang Guang is not in the right position, false transmission of holy decrees, etc., the world is boiling, even people like him who live in the mountains have heard of it.
On August 15, when the Great Sui Dynasty was not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival, Taixuan baked moon cakes by himself in the backyard kitchen, took out his own self-brewed osmanthus wine, and prepared to drink and admire the moon by himself at night.
"Monk come out and open the door, where are you, monk?" A woman's voice came from the front yard, and she smiled bitterly when she heard Taixuan, Shan Meixian came, and there was a middle-aged or older male master behind the footsteps.
"Meixian, are you going to come to repay the money?" Taixuan walked out of the front door, looked at Shan Meixian who was shouting in the courtyard, and asked with a smile.
"Ah, I don't have any money, and I won't pay you back if I have money!" Shan Meixian was suddenly asked by Taixuan, and replied angrily.
"Dare to ask Meixian who is this senior behind you, Meixian, don't you want to introduce me?" Taixuan asked, looking at a man behind Shan Meixian who was about sixty years old and carrying a gift in his hand, but he was still an innate master with a face in his forties, and he sensed a domineering sword intent hidden in his body, and he already vaguely knew the identity of the other party.
"My father, don't you know?" asked Shan Meixian strangely.
"Haha, don't be surprised, the old man just met with the Taoist for the first time today, and the old man still has to thank the Taoist for guiding the little girl to find the old man, otherwise the old man will not know that he has a daughter when he dies. There is also a thank you to the Taoist for killing Xi Ying, and the old man is thanking the Taoist for my dead family members!" Yue Shan bowed to Taixuan and saluted.
"Senior is polite, I just casually mentioned the matter of Meixian and didn't help it, Xi Ying didn't have to thank me for finding his own death, please come in!" Taixuan hurriedly invited the two into the living room.
"What are you doing delicious food, I smell the fragrance!" Shan Meixian sniffed her nose and asked.
"Mooncakes, you are here, please try them!" Taixuan smiled.
Then the three of them tasted the mooncakes made by Taixuan and began to chat.
"Meixian, how did you find me here?" asked Taixuan a little strangely.
"You are also known as the rivers and lakes, don't you know? Recently, it is rumored that you have become a Taoist priest, I still don't believe it, and I came to see you with my father!" Shan Meixian asked in surprise.
Taixuan had to smile bitterly, Buddhism obviously will not publicize the fact that he is a Taoist, only the Demon Gate will do this, when the new emperor ascends the throne, so that Buddhism will lose face at this time, and another round of Buddha and Demon confrontation has begun.
Sure enough, I learned from Shan Meixian that recently, after Yang Jian's death, within nearly a month, a news suddenly appeared from the rivers and lakes, the former Buddhist master and the world's first master, the Great Yin monk, betrayed Buddhism and became a Taoist priest, with the Taoist name 'Taixuan'. The address of the Taixuan Taoist Temple, there are secrets circulating at the top of the Demon Gate, and Shan Meixian, as the daughter of the head of the Yin Sect, naturally asked for the specific address and came to thank Yue Shan.
