Chapter 47: Descending the Mountain
Jiaxiang looked at this Zen-like, quiet and beautiful, and his face was moved if the Buddha was full of paintings. The twenty-year-old congenital grandmaster, it is appalling to say it, Jiaxiang himself did not expect that the Great Seal would become a grandmaster so soon, and thought in his heart: "The baby apprentice is reassuring, I haven't taught much, Buddhism finally has its own grandmaster, the poor monk and the three junior disciples surrounded and suppressed Shi Zhixuan this time and let him slip away, is it really the poor monk is old, he is already seventy years old, and the years are not forgiving! It's time for the young man to go out of the rivers and lakes, and the Great Seal should also go to the red dust to roll away!"
"Da Yin, the master will appoint you to walk in the world of Zen Buddhism, go and experience the red dust, you are twenty years old this year, and you are no longer a little novice!" Jia Xiang's dull face was full of smiles, and he said to the Great Yin after the harvest.
"Really, Master, are you really willing to let me out of the temple, what happened back then, the apprentice hasn't let go yet?" Dayin looked surprised, and said deliberately, in fact, he had wanted to go down the mountain for a long time, but if he couldn't go down the mountain, he had to listen to the master's arrangement.
"Amitabha, the karma obtained in the red dust, since you should return to the red dust to eliminate the karma, you have practiced the wisdom sword, when you cut off all the troubles in the world, he is pure and harmonious, he has realized the emptiness of the Dharma, and he deserves to be as wonderful as he comes!" said Jiaxiang with his hands folded.
In June, in the morning, at the end of the morning class, after the completion of the class, at the foot of Qixia Mountain, carrying a sword and a package, the package contained a thousand taels of silver given by the master and a few pieces of linen monk robes, wearing a dusty shabby linen monk robe, wearing straw sandals ascetic dress of the big seal monk, looking back at the temple that can be faintly seen in the mountain, looking back at the hands of the folded hands and bowing his head, along the road did not go back to the nearby Jiankang City (Nanjing City in the Great Sui period).
Dayin has been in this world for 12 years, and he has never gone down the mountain to take a good look, and he has not even visited the Yicheng Temple presided over by Master Daoxin nearby.
The Great Yin monk followed the crowd into the crowded Jiankang City, looking at the busy, ensuing crowd, where can you still feel that there was a war to destroy the country here twelve years ago, and now only the city wall still has traces of war, and the prosperity of the ancient capital has been restored.
Dayin looked at the lively and peaceful ancient capital, and began to evaluate Yang Jian in his heart: "Yang Jian's merits are immeasurable, ending the 300-year division of the world since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, so that the people finally have a chance to breathe!"
Today is the summer of the first year of the Great Sui Renshou, and after Yang Jian's 20 years of hard work, there is already a great rule, and some people in the world have spread the rule of the emperor. Yang Jianxiongcai roughly dominated the world and carried out a series of reforms in politics, economy and other systems. The establishment of the imperial examination, the revision of criminal laws and systems, the implementation of the three-province six-ministry system in the central government, and the change of the local three-level system of prefecture, county, and county to the two-level system of prefecture and county, thus consolidating the centralization of power. With many tax cuts, agricultural production, and stable economic development, the people of the world can finally live and work in peace and contentment without enduring war, and it can be said that the current financial and military national strength of the Sui Dynasty has reached its heyday.
The big seal monk was surprised by the surprise of the little second brother, and happily greeted him, lived in an ordinary guest room, asked for some vegetarian meals, and after eating, he began to meditate on the identity of the Zen world on his body, and fell into thought: "How to go, the master didn't say any specific tasks, it's rare to just go around casually, what is the situation in the rivers and lakes now, my eyes are black, and it's not the time for the plot to start, it seems that I need to explore the situation in the rivers and lakes." A thousand taels of silver, for an old farmer in Dasui now, is a huge amount of money, for me to go through the rivers and lakes without flowers, it seems that I have to find my own way, yes, or practice medicine, find more rich people, it's not in vain, this is a paid service, it's just a little more medical expenses!"
In order not to let himself be blinded by the current affairs and news of the rivers and lakes, before leaving, he inquired about the recent news in the rivers and lakes in various teahouses and restaurants.
The world is peaceful, but there have been frequent events in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and the two most popular news recently:
First of all, Ning Daoqi, the Daoist Sect Sect Master, vomited blood when he read the "Cihang Sword Codex". Recently, the gossip that Ning Daoqi watched "Cihang Sword Codex" and vomited blood has recently gone viral on the rivers and lakes, and Ning Daoqi has become everyone's bargaining and talking after dinner, and has been called a traitor by the Daomen. Cihang Jingzhai instead, because of this incident, swept away the decline of Bixiu, who walked in the world before yesterday, was peerless, and represented by the righteous path of subduing demons, and married Shi Zhixuan, the number one master of the Demon Gate, and suddenly became tall again in the rivers and lakes, and the inheritance of the sect of the sword code was so awesome that the martial arts master vomited blood after seeing it, which man in the rivers and lakes did not envy it.
The second is that the master Jiaxiang and Daoxin, the wisdom master, and the emperor's heart Venerable four masters once again besieged and killed the master of the Demon Gate Jihuajian and the master of the Heavenly Pavilion Shi Zhixuan failed, it is already the third failure, and Shi Zhixuan's immortal seal method has become a great name in the rivers and lakes, and now Shi Zhixuan has become recognized as the first master of the Demon Gate in the rivers and lakes, Shi Zhixuan used the hands of Jiaxiang four people to press a big face of the entire Buddhist Gate to the ground and rub it violently, now the limelight is strong, and the Demon Flame is arrogant!.
After listening to these two exciting news, especially the latter one, the whole person was not good, and he slandered in his heart: "Jiaxiang, this old monk, pit me, I said how to suddenly seal me as a Zen world that has never been remembered, it turned out to be the idea of letting me give the four of them and the entire Buddhism to save face, and it is estimated that I will also serve as a thug in the future." It is estimated that it won't be long before I stay in this Jiankang City and don't move, the name of the new grandmaster Dayin monk will spontaneously spread throughout the rivers and lakes, this is to roast me on the fire, no wonder I deliberately mentioned that it is not a small novice when I left, this is to prepare for me to kill! I also have a sword to break my troubles, and I really experience the red dust! It seems that I can't practice medicine in the world, this is a killing road for the executioners of Buddhism!"
At this time, Jiaxiang was also standing on the top of the mountain behind Qixia Temple, looking at Jiankang City, his withered face was heavy in his heart, and he was a little uneasy, and suddenly sighed and said to himself: "I really don't know if this time is good or bad for the Great Seal, Nan Wu Amitabha!"
Dayin suddenly felt that he and the recent unlucky Ning Daoqi had a fight, these years the Daomen has Ning Daoqi this master, so that the momentum of the Buddha's face is gone, Cihang Jingzhai has recently sent the "Cihang Sword Codex" out of the pit Ning Daoqi, just when the martial arts are rising rapidly, Ning Daoqi is full of confidence to watch the "Cihang Sword Codex" Directly vomited blood and injured after being counterattacked, not only physically injured, but also hurt the gods, and the most serious thing was the heart knot left by the frustration, which made Ning Daoqi, who had a complete Dao Sect inheritance, cut off the road to the promotion of the Great Grandmaster of the Inner Scene, and the knot was difficult to make progress in the future. This matter was also found by Ning Daoqi himself, he couldn't say what he was suffering about, and he owed a big favor, I don't know how many conditions he promised to Buddhism.
