Chapter 48: Parting Ways

After the monk Dayin understood his situation, he immediately had a countermeasure, and he couldn't practice medicine in the world, so he rented a three-room rustic old house in the countryside outside Jiankang City for less than a tael of silver. There are three rooms in a row, there is a small courtyard in front, there is a well in the east of the courtyard, the lease period is one year, the rent is sixty wen a month, and the rent is seven hundred and twenty wen a year, after Yang Jian's twenty years of hard work, now the world is fixed, the products are abundant, the price is cheap, the silver is still relatively strong, one thousand two hundred wen is exchanged for one or two silver, very cheap. I spent less than three taels of silver to buy pots and pans, bedding and a year's rations, and prepared to live in it as if I was going to live for a long time.

Half a year has passed, the monk of Dayin cooks and eats by himself, practices martial arts, meditates and hones his internal strength, walks around the village every day, and goes out to tease the little children in the neighborhood when he is free, and lives a very comfortable life. After a long time, the Great Seal monk even has a large section of hair, if you live in the first life, you can tie a pigtail and make an artistic hairstyle. The surrounding neighbors thought that he was a monk who wanted to return the vulgar, so he came to their village to rent a house to live with long hair, and he was instructed by the old man of the village to teach the younger generations: "Don't learn this mallet, where is it not long hair, and spend so much money, sassy bags, losers, and brains." A hundred meters away, he was clearly heard by the more sensitive and mysterious ears of the Great Yin monk, so he had to smile bitterly.

During the Spring Festival of the Great Sui, the Great Yin monk spent the first time alone outside. The Sui period is not called the Spring Festival, but called "Yuanzheng", and the night is also to keep the New Year and wait until the child (0 o'clock in the morning), but there is an ancient custom of "driving away ghosts", and a large group of young people in the village put on hideous masks and put on red and black clothes and pants. At the beginning of the show, a pair of men and women led the dance with masks of old men and old women, and other young people with children's "guardian nephew" masks, plus many people wore various masks of demons and monsters, and began to play demons. The Great Seal Monk, now he can't tell that he is a bald monk, his hair has grown a lot, and he has a lively time. At this time, there is no custom of pasting couplets and door god paintings, only the custom of changing peach charms to drive away evil spirits, and there is a bamboo pole inserted in the yard, which is tied with a thin thread on the cloth strips, and the rich people also embroider patterns on the cloth strips, and some even directly make long fish looks, fluttering in the wind, very similar to the first generation of the Great Seal monk in the anime video to see Japan erect flagpoles in front of the family door are hung with the "carp flag" that wishes the boy to grow up healthily.

The night was deeper, there was no moon, the sky was full of stars, dotted with the dark sky, and the winter night wind blew very cold, making the big seal standing in the small courtyard more calm. The Great Yin monk did not sleep, standing in the small courtyard covered with snow and looking up at the sky, alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival, after having the adventure of crossing, embarking on the road of cultivation, destined to be lonely. In this incident, he rented a small courtyard here to live, just waiting for the master's choice, he will not regret how the master Jiaxiang chooses, he can enter the Buddhism and be an honest monk for a lifetime, inherit the mantle of the master, and inherit the Three Treatises, but it is impossible for him to follow the old path of the master and concubine.

Qixia Temple, Qixia Mountain, the four holy monks of Zen Buddhism, Jiaxiang, Daoxin, Master of Wisdom, and Emperor Xin, gathered together again, arguing whether to spread the Great Seal Monk as a new martial arts master.

Jiaxiang dry Zen artistic conception finally has a trace of bitterness, it is obvious that the Great Yin monk has known the real reason behind the descent of the mountain, and knows that every move is under the attention of the entire Buddhist sect. Jiaxiang knew that his precious apprentice was waiting for his response, whether to directly recruit him to return to the mountain to continue to be a monk, and inherit the mantle of the Three Treatises Sect in the future; or directly explain the situation to him and let him directly find Shi Zhixuan to kill him, if he can come back, hello, everyone; or give up directly, he regarded him as a chess piece and then launched the long-face plan of Buddhism, and praised him as the first generation of Buddhism Zen Buddhism to walk in the world, replace everyone to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and run for the interests of Buddhism.

Now the situation in the world, the general situation is obviously not good for the Buddha and the demon to fight for the upper hand, recently there is news from Daxing City, Yang Jian in the Renshou Palace is old, there are no years to live. After Yang Jian, who was previously supported by Buddhism, became the emperor, he was very afraid of the power of Buddhism, and in recent years, he has continuously weakened Buddhism. The recent encirclement and suppression of Shi Zhixuan was originally to revitalize the sluggish Buddhism, but he didn't expect to be slipped away by Shi Zhixuan, and the credit in hand became the capital of ridicule. Originally, the promotion of the Great Seal Monk to the Grandmaster was a gratifying thing for the entire Buddhism, and the four holy monks immediately felt that it was an opportunity to launch it as a Zen walk, which could not only improve the prestige of Buddhism, but also elevate the status of Zen Buddhism in the entire Buddhism.

Today's meeting is not the first time that such a gathering has happened in Qixia Temple, it has been gathered many times in the past six months, starting from the small courtyard where the monk Dayin lived in the rented courtyard, and came once at the end of every month. Master Daoxin, Master Wisdom, and Venerable Emperor Xin all know in their hearts that this matter can be decided by Jiaxiang with one sentence, and there is no conclusion so far, it is now the New Year, and it will be the second year of Renshou soon, and there must be a result.

"Alas, when I picked it up back then, I took a fancy to his innate Buddha qualifications, and I didn't think about whether he was willing to take refuge in my Buddha. Jiaxiang's dry face became even more bitter, and after a pause, he said: "Since I have entered the Buddha Gate, my Buddha is in trouble, and all the Buddhas should work hard to overcome the calamity, and no one can escape under the cause and effect." Whether there is fate after the catastrophe, let's look at fate!" After Jiaxiang finished speaking, his eyes were slightly closed, he was not talking, and he kept moving the Buddha beads in his hand.

"Amitabha, let's do it!" Master Daoxin, Master Wisdom, and Venerable Emperor Heart, put their palms together, chanted a Buddha horn, and made the final decision.

In the second year of the Great Sui Renshou, the Great Seal monk and the villagers spent the Lantern Festival together, experienced the folk customs of the Great Sui, and the rivers and lakes began to spread the origin of Qixia Temple in Jiankang City, the disciple of Master Jiaxiang Dayin High Monk, became the world's successor to the Daomen Ning Daoqi, Goguryeo Fu Cailin, and Saiwai Bixuan, the new master of Buddhism, became the fourth master in the world, and the news that caused a sensation for a time spread all over the world, and there was a well-known nickname "Fu Demon Hui Sword", the intention was obviously directed at the Demon Gate.

After the Great Yin monk heard the news, he naturally sighed to himself: "After all, the road is different!"
