Volume 2: Liuyun Mountain Chapter 18: Celebrities and Gentlemen
Master Huixin rested for a while, stopped chanting, looked at the sky, picked up the Zen staff, and continued on the road, just going the opposite way from the one or two people on the road.
Along the way, he was unhurried and seemed to be a leisurely stroll, but if someone with advanced cultivation paid attention, he would be shocked to find that Master Huixin actually walked extremely fast, and only when he passed by villages and towns did he really slow down, and greeted every naughty child who looked at him with a kind eyebrow.
Songyang County is located in the west of Qiantang County, and Yanxia Mountain is the place where the two counties meet.
When the sun was setting in the west, Master Huixin was already standing at the foot of Yanxia Mountain, and an old friend who was going to visit this time once said that Yanxia Mountain at sunset was a rare real scenic spot in his heart of the world's famous mountains and rivers.
A tall old man in a cyan robe, with white hair and long sleeves, bathed in the blood-red sunset, floated down the mountain.
Master Huixin smiled, folded his hands and said, "Yanxia Monk is okay?"
The tall old man named Yanxia Jushi rolled his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "Huixin, do I also want to respectfully call you a master?"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and together they began to climb the mountain.
The solar term has entered autumn, some trees in the mountain forest have begun to lose their leaves, thick paved mountain road, a piece of gold, walking on it, the soles of the feet make a slight clicking sound, there is a special taste.
Yanxia Monk's real name is Li Qianzhi, who lives in seclusion in the Bee Tail Valley of Yanxia Mountain, and there is still a lot of distance into the mountain, but neither of them has performed light skills, but walks slowly through the rugged paths in the mountains and forests, and walks leisurely.
Reuniting old friends, taking a walk, talking and laughing, is already the most beautiful scenery.
"How can you be willing to go down the mountain? Back then, I used it all to splash and roll, and I didn't see you willing to move it. ”
Huixin sighed and said: "People from the Buddhist family are easy to sit in the well and watch the sky, and it is inevitable that they will be quiet and active when they are old. ”
Li Qianzhi said with a smile: "The four words you sit in the well and watch the sky mean something!"
Hui Xin knew that she was not good at bickering, so she simply remained silent, and her expression became more and more sad.
"Hey, hey, don't be like this, I'm most afraid to see your bitter gourd face, tell me how you feel along the way?"
"All living beings are suffering. ”
Wisdom cherishes words like gold.
"In less than a year, Luoyang will be broken, so what you see now is just the beginning of the troubled times. ”
"How's that for good?"
Li Qianzhi said with a smile: "You are an outsider, what are you worried about these things? ”
Huixin looked up at a flock of wild birds and a few wisps of smoke hidden in the deep mountains in the distance, and sighed: "The world should be natural and quiet, and everyone does their own thing, but the people in power are ambitious and mess with the world. ”
Li Qianzhi snorted coldly: "Flies don't bite eggs that are not slit." ”
With a sigh, he continued: "Li Ci could have been a stable Shoucheng Emperor, but he was suspicious and self-serving, and he also used nepotism. ”
Huixin looked at his old friend's expression, and said helplessly: "You are the emperor's uncle today, you can't escape from the world, and you want to have a clean ear, isn't it the same crime?"
"Royal affairs, where is it so simple, to put it bluntly, it is always cannibalism, but it only suffers the people of the world. ”
Li Qianzhi smiled bitterly, bent down to pick up a fallen leaf from the ground, and looked lonely.
"Who is most likely to ascend to the throne after the destruction of Luoyang City? Could it be that the throne fell into the hands of King Song?"
Li Qianzhi said coldly: "Li Gan, the king of Song, is brutal and unkind, and he seems to be powerful, but the three younger brothers of Li Han, the king of Liao, Li Fu, the king of Jian, and Li Yan, the king of Wei, are definitely not convinced, and Li Daozhen, the king of Tang, Li Jing, the king of Chu, and Li Fu, the king of Qi, are not harboring evil intentions?
Huixin couldn't help but say: "What you said is equivalent to saying it in vain, and you also missed an old Shepherd King Li Jin and a new Shepherd King Li Xiubai who are enough to influence the situation. ”
Li Qianzhi smiled: "King Shepherd is good at everything, but he is too pedantic, otherwise he is indeed the most suitable, and he has a wide range of soldiers and talents." ”
"Will it be that after the destruction of Luoyang City, the seven princes will attack Jiangnan Province and divide it?"
"If this is the case, it is just as I wanted, I am afraid that Li Xiubai will obey the arrangement of the old shepherd and save Li Ci to rule the river, so the world will only be more chaotic. ”
While the two were chatting, they had unconsciously reached the entrance of a small valley.
Li Qianzhi laughed and said: "Don't talk about those big things in the world first! I haven't tasted the vegetarian food you made by yourself for a long time, and I miss it very much, but I am ready for everything, just waiting for you to come." ”
The entrance to Beetail Valley is hidden in two huge rocks cut by knives and axes, and the pothos is entwined, and it is not always possible for a living person to walk into it, and a small stream flows along the stone wall.
Passing through the narrow entrance, you suddenly see the valley with green grass and strange rocks, three simple wooden houses, one of which is smoky.
A small waterfall hangs on the opposite stone wall, and the spring water splashes, turning into crystal clear water droplets when it reaches the bottom of the valley, and flies into the small waterhole without a trace.
The whole valley is not large, vaguely forming an ellipse, reminiscent of the narrowness of the entrance, and indeed quite like a bee.
"What a peach orchard. ”
Rao is Huixin, an outsider, also feels relaxed and happy, and it is really an excellent place to retreat.
Li Qianzhi's face was pale, and he said with a smile: "I have traveled all over the north and south of the river, the bitter cold in northern Liaoning, the wind and sand in the northwest, and the humid in Lingnan, but the water and soil in this Jiangnan Province are the most nourishing." ”
A handsome young man of six or seven years old was holding a bamboo basket with some freshly picked mushrooms in his hand, and when he saw the two, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Welcome to the door." ”
Hui returned the salute and said softly: "The better and more profound Xiao Tan's cultivation, it is really terrifying in the future. ”
Li Qianzhi smiled angrily: "Here comes again, if you want to say that I am the second in the world, I want to see who dares to admit that I am the first in the world!"
Hui Xin's face showed panic, his hands shook wildly, and he said anxiously: "You don't want to talk nonsense! Martial arts have always been used to strengthen the body, as long as the body is healthy, where is there any first and second!"
When the young man saw that the old monk was talking interestingly, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Qianzhi said: "Look at it, the juniors are not convinced! You don't let him open his eyes?"
Huixin had no choice but to chant and ignore it.
The young man was eager to try, and after getting the acquiescence of the master's eyes, he gently put down the basket, hugged his fists and said: "Senior Li Muran, please give the master advice." ”
After that, he pulled the stance, made a mistake with both palms, the left palm in front and the right palm in the back, and attacked it.
It is the Yellow Dragon Palm recorded on the Yellow Dragon Duel, the secret of the Li family, the move is wide open and closed, and the Yellow Dragon Duel is already taking the hegemonic road line, and the palm in the valley is suddenly overflowing.
Huixin was helpless, seeing that the young man's palm had reached his chest, his palms were slightly pushed forward, and the robe on his body was windless, and he shouted in a low voice: "Fixed!"
The young Li Muran only felt that his internal strength was like a mud cow entering the sea, his palms were soft and couldn't exert half of his strength, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to, and he was shocked, and suddenly there was a warm force in the palm of the old monk's hand, and he was suddenly comfortable.
The two of them parted at the touch of a button.
Li Muran lost his voice and said, "What kind of demon method did the master use?"
Li Qianzhi shouted with a straight face: "Mu Ran Hugh is talking nonsense, Master Huixin cultivates the authentic Buddha Sect Immovable Ming King Seal! You are rare and strange, why don't you apologize to the master quickly!"
Huixin waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.
Li Muran was also happy.
Hui Xin smiled bitterly: "Not only do you have to cook by yourself when you come here, but you also have to fight! ”
Li Qianzhi laughed, motioned for Li Muran to step back, and said triumphantly: "How is my apprentice?
After speaking, he looked at his old friend with a wide range of eyes.
Huixin said with a bitter face: "Awesome! But ......"
Li Qian was stunned and asked, "But what?"
Li Muran, who had just retreated, also looked over with an unconvinced face.
"I met a teenager on the way here today, who should be the same age as Xiao Tanyue, and the two of them should be cultivated...... Also in between. ”
Those who cultivate Buddhism with a wise heart do not speak, so Li Qianzhi's master and apprentice immediately heard the meaning beyond the words.
Li Muran frowned and asked, "What's his name?"
Seeing the young man's expression, Huixin sighed slightly in her heart, shook her head and said, "We met in Pingshui, and I didn't ask where to go." ”
Li Qianzhi's expression moved, smiled, waved his hand and said: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, but my Li family Huanglong is by no means in vain, it seems that Mu Ran needs to be more diligent, let's go, you still cook for me honestly." ”
Li Muran was sullen, secretly angry in his heart, most likely because the old monk saw that he was strong and made up a teenager who wanted to kill his own sharp spirit, since he knew that others were cultivating, where could he not know where to go?
So when carrying the basket, he deliberately snorted softly, and regardless of the two old men, he went to the stream to clean the mushrooms.
Huixin looked at the back of the young man, and had to smile bitterly, feeling that Tianhuang nobles would naturally have some arrogant temper, but it was understandable, and he was relieved when he thought of this.
Li Qianzhi said disapprovingly: "Mu Ran is also a royal bloodline, he has practiced with me since he was a child, and he rarely met opponents when he went down the mountain several times to walk the rivers and lakes halfway, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant, and I have to talk about it in a while." ”
"That's very good. ”
However, the obvious disdain on the old friend's face still made Master Huixin feel helpless, for the situation in the temple and the strategy of power, Li Qianzhi is worthy of the master, but it seems that spoiling children is no different from the elders in the world.
Master Huixin has been practicing penance all his life, and he has very few friends, and there are only three or five people in total, so there are not many people who know that he has burned a good vegetarian fast.
Four dishes.
A plate of pickled bamboo shoots, a plate of fresh mushrooms, a plate of rape, a plate of winter melon.
But each dish looks crystal clear, the heat is very well controlled, and the taste is crisp and delicious, and the taste is sweet.
During the meal, Li Muran was absent-minded, and found the old monk chatting with the master to bring up the old things again, and asked unwillingly: "Master, did the young man you met today also fight with you?"
Huixin replied truthfully: "I have never fought each other, and the meeting is fate, and the old man just gave him a copy of the Prajna Heart Sutra." ”
"And what weapon did he use?"
Huixin thought carefully about the scene at that time and said, "It should be with a knife." ”
Li Qianzhi frowned: "There are really not many masters of knives in Jiangnan Province. ”
Hui Xin nodded and said: "Now the Sword Alliance is powerful, so the sword technique is more common, and the head of the Beijiang Tianmu Sword Sect, Chen, is also a master, and there are many disciples. ”
Li Muran suddenly laughed and said: "The master in the master's mouth is too worthless, that Chen Zhenghua and his son Chen Gongzi are two fools, and they have lost their reputation." ”
Li Qianzhi reprimanded: "Hugh has to speak wildly!"
Li Muran was stunned.
After the three of them finished eating, Li Muran cleaned up the table, sent a candle, and went to Li Qianzhi's room to take out Go.
Master Huixin's eyes lit up, he has no other hobbies in his life, and he is obsessed with studying Buddhism, but only the joy of this hand talk can't be broken, but he is indifferent by nature, and he doesn't have much sense of winning or losing, and Go originally pays attention to a far-reaching layout and decisive killing, so the chess art is really not flattering.
Li Muran looked at the two of them for a while, and rolled his eyes again and again, what is this?
But Master Huixin, who is indifferent to everything, really feels that he and his old friend are chess opponents, and they will meet good talents, and they play with relish.
But in the end, it was Huixin who lost, but he lost very skillfully and decently.
Li Muran laughed secretly, and asked while Master Huixin was taking the long exam, "Master, what is the name of that young man in the afternoon?"
Huixin replied casually: "Road One." ”
As soon as he said it, he regretted it in his heart, and the young man in front of him asked about it relentlessly, why the picture was clear at a glance, didn't he bring trouble to the young man who had a good impression in the afternoon?
Li Muran frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of a master surnamed Lu here in Jiangnan Province." ”
Li Qianzhi held a white chess piece between his two fingers, nodded and said, "I really didn't hear this surname." ”
Li Muran suddenly smiled and said: "This is not simple? As long as this person is still in Jiangnan Province, I will go down the mountain and meet him for a while? Are you afraid that he will run away?"
Master Huixin sighed and said, "It's all to blame for the old man's mouth, his life's troubles, and his sins!"
Li Qianzhi smiled: "Don't just eat salty radishes and worry about it, Mu Ran is just a little arrogant, not an unreasonable person, I can't say that the two young handsome people hit it off at first sight, and you also made a beautiful conversation!"
Huixin smiled but did not speak.
"Where are you going to go next?"
Hui thought for a moment and said, "I want to continue south and see another old friend." ”
"Dongfang Qiang?"
Huixin nodded.
Li Qianzhi was silent, the expression on his face could not see the change, the chess pieces suddenly fell, and he said indifferently: "You lost again." ”
Huixin looked at the chessboard, had to admit defeat, and actually lost eleven eyes, and clicked twice, it was indeed eleven eyes.
The two had played hundreds of games of chess, and for the first time they had lost so miserably.
"After so many years, it's all old bones, and you still can't let it go. ”
Li Qianzhi snorted coldly: "The hatred of taking his wife, how can he say that he will forget it?"
Huixin was helpless: "The three of you met at the same time, traveled the rivers and lakes together, and finally Yu Qingqing married Dongfang Qiang, why did it become the hatred of taking his wife?"
Li Muran was very curious when he heard this story about the master for the first time, and hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen word for word.
Li Qianzhi said angrily: "If it weren't for Dongfang Qiang's calculations behind me, how could Qingqing look down on him?
Hui Xin looked at the old friend who had a beard, and said after a while: "Although the old man is an outsider, he also knows that the love of children must be loved by you and me, and I believe that Yu Qingqing can naturally see what you said, but when the three of you came to the Great Compassion Temple, I saw that her thoughts were all on Dongfang, but you yourself have not yet realized it." ”
Li Qianzhi didn't speak, but he was not convinced.
"Originally, I wanted to invite you to come along, but now it seems that there is no need for this. ”
Li Qianzhi snorted:
"Who said there was no need for this? I also want to see how Qingqing has been doing all these years!"
Hui Xin laughed dumbly, feeling that if the three of them met again, they would really make some jokes, they were all dying, and some things were still like a child.
"What can you do if you're doing well? What can you do if you're not doing well? ”
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Li Qianzhi saw a note left on the table in the hall.
The two old men looked at each other and had no choice but to give up.
Li Muran went down the mountain to find the young man named Lu Yi with one person and one sword.
Precisely:
How can one mountain accommodate two tigers, Xiao Xiao's past is worrying.
