Chapter 145: Moon Court Monk

The stone is also a little regretful, Li Changji's letter is still on his body, the letter is a piece of jute paper, the book is Xiu Xiaokai, said: "Changji Dunshou, stone, Meng Fu, two young heroes, fate to know, worthy of this trip, but the foolish brother has a life, not a long time to accompany him, tonight without saying goodbye, riding a donkey east, he has a fate, must be a good wine to sing and all night, foolish brother this trip, it is inconvenient to reveal his whereabouts, so please keep it secret, Jin'er and Dou girl, hope to apologize." "The payment is a monograph of Bai Yulou Immortal. The letter is Li Changji's handwriting, the stone knows that Yin Mengfu admires him, and wants to give the letter to Yin Mengfu to treasure, but Yin Mengfu insists on leaving it to the stone, he said, if it is on me, I can't help but play with it from time to time, for fear that people will see it, cause trouble, and be unfavorable to him, it is better to keep the stone. Unexpectedly, this letter later saved the stone's life.

Hearing Yin Mengfu's words, Shi remembered what he said in the letter again, and said in a low voice: "Who would have thought that he was Li Changji? I still commented on poetry in front of him, which is really ashamed." β€œ

"Actually, we should have guessed the identity of You Xian'er a long time ago, his talent is very high, and he is familiar with the allusions of Taoist figures in the past dynasties, well, who else would it be if it wasn't Bai Yulou Immortal?" Yin Mengfu replaced the wine with tea and drank a cup of bitterness, as if to extinguish the regret in his heart.

Jin'er continued: "When I first saw him, I felt that he was faintly visible with white light, not a person on the ground, but a heavenly immortal in the lower realm, but I don't know why he is a white jade building immortal running in the lower realm, as if he is looking for something, or someone?"

"He's not just a little weird. Dou Qiongying was wiping the pine-patterned ancient sword box with a damp cloth, "Do you still remember that in the Golden Cave, the two gods of the underworld, the gods and gods, arrived just when we first met the old man of the heavenly marrow, and killed all the people and demons in the cave, and searched in the cave, and never took anything away, only escorted the old man of the heavenly marrow, don't you think it's strange?"

"Could it be that they were afraid that we would get something from the Heavenly Marrow Old Man, so they took him before that, but what were they afraid of?" Jin'er wondered.

"It's weird, but I can't figure it out, anyway, if Li Changji hadn't revealed his identity, we would all have to go to the ghost gate, it's eerie, and if we don't die, we will lose ten years of life!" Yin Mengfu was afraid.

Shi thought about their words in his heart, Li Changji and Shen Tu Yu Lei, one was the White Jade Mansion Immortal sealed by the Emperor of Heaven, and the other was the two gods of the underworld under the command of the Emperor Xudu, what were they looking for? Could it be the Book of Ghosts? Or was it something important?

Recalling the crack in the sky that he saw in the Spiritual Illusion Realm in his dream, Shi felt nervous in his heart.

A few people were talking, and suddenly heard a commotion in front of the door of the store downstairs, and when a few people hurriedly walked to the window to look, they recognized an acquaintance from the crowd, not someone else, it was Liu Dianzong, who had been missing for two days, only to see him riding a high-headed horse, but he resumed the Taoist dress, wearing a sky blue brocade Taiji robe, wearing a flat sky crown, carrying a purple cloud sword, a high-spirited appearance, and he walked side by side with an official-like fat man, it was Jiang Kun, the prefect of Yuezhou, the two of them were surrounded by a team of government officials and soldiers, and a carriage with a red lacquered large wooden cabinet followed slowly behind。

"I didn't expect this Liu Dianzong to be so powerful in officialdom. Yin Mengfu sneered disdainfully, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for the Daomen." β€œ

Jin'er remembered what happened at the Liyang Wharf, and whispered: "This Liu Dianzong has too many ghost eyes, you have to watch out for him in the future." β€œ

Liu, Jiang two of the honor guard from the direction of Dongting Lake, along the street to the government office, the front team of the government with a pear wood stick swept the vertical pick, along the way to open the road, the street along the street to drive the stalls to pieces, the vendors in front of these tigers and wolves did not dare to make a sound, let them toss, when the team of people to Yueyang Tower, these tigers and wolves met an opponent, a monk.

The monk looked to be about sixty years old, not tall, with a dark face, a white beard, a pair of white eyebrows bent like willow leaves, small and bright eyes, he was wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, wearing a yellow robe, with countless patches, the hem of the robe had rotted into strips, and in his hand he was holding a withered yellow bamboo stick, the bamboo knots were straight and thick, no more, no less, there were nine knots, and the top and bottom were shiny.

The monk was originally meditating and resting under the steps in front of the restaurant, and when the two mansions passed by, they shouted loudly: "Liu Dianzong, the real master of Longhu Mountain, the real person of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Kun, the prefect of Yuezhou, have explored ten thousand taels of gold from Dongting Lake, and are about to go to Beijing to present the emperor.

"This monk, if you hear it, quickly dodge away, so as not to get in the way!" A Fu Li took a pear wooden stick and stabbed the monk's chest, when the wooden stick touched the chest, the monk did not move, but the Fu Li bounced back a few feet, fell to the ground, and screamed in pain.

The rest of the people saw that their people were suffering, and they did not hesitate, with the stick in their hands, they pounced on the monk, and under the stick, and they were not injured at all, and these subordinates all flew out in all directions, so shocked that the two horses were blown up, and almost turned Liu and Jiang off the horse.

"What kind of person dares to show off the demon law in front of the real people who protect the country?" Liu Dianzong pulled the reins, and saw some clues, the monk just used the mountain collision technique, so he shouted, raised his hand and pulled out the purple cloud sword behind him, and the sword light swept over the monk's old face.

All the mansions complained bitterly, got up from the ground one after another, surrounded the yellow-clothed monk, and hundreds of good people soon gathered in front of the restaurant, crowded, onlookers and discussed.

The yellow-clothed monk stood up, held a bamboo cane, slowly walked to the middle of the street, folded his hands, and said: "Nanwu Amitabha Buddha, presumably you are Liu Dianzong, a disciple of Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain?"

"It's the way, let's leave quickly, lest you make a fool of yourself in front of everyone after I make a move!" Liu Dianzong was triumphant on the horse.

"Not long ago, I heard the senior brother of Yuetang say that the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain was arrogant and domineering, bullying the disciples of Buddhism, and when I saw it today, it was really imposing, the old monk was the Yueting monk of Linggu Temple, and he had not walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he took this opportunity to teach the Taoist method of Longhu Mountain!"

Yin Mengfu knows a lot of calligraphy, he looks at these two big characters, the book is open, vigorous and powerful, the dot painting has the law, it does not have the charm of the European book exquisitely, but there is a clock, Wang's penmanship of the ancient and sloppy. Among them, the horizontal pen and the foot are appropriately exaggerated, creating tension and the artistic conception of the word, the gesture is smart and vibrant, and the strokes are mixed with subordination and elegance.

Yin Mengfu saw clearly on the second floor, this monk's mana was definitely in the realm of the true monarch, and he said in a low voice: "It turns out that he is the monk of the Nine Bamboo Buddha Moon Court of Linggu Temple, listening to my master, he is obsessed with calligraphy, and he enters the Buddha with books, and his mana is strong, but it is said that he has retired to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't expect to appear here." β€œ

Where did Liu Dianzong know the origin of the Nine Bamboo Buddha, only annoyed that the monk was provocative, seeing that he was moving a big pen, two golden characters under the book, he was furious at the moment, raised his sword and jumped on the horse, and split it according to his head, the purple cloud sword was not a mortal thing, and the sword qi moved, and the wine curtain was cut off a few zhang away, and the sword light ran towards the face of the monk of the Moon Court like a bolt of lightning, and the monk saw the purple cloud sword coming, and did not show the slightest expression, only shook the bamboo cane on the ground. Thirty-nine

"Bang!"

The two golden words suddenly rose in the air, like two shields blocking the attack of the Ziyun Sword, and as soon as the golden light flashed and closed, the sword qi of the Ziyun Sword disappeared into invisibility, and the word Dharma became more and more dazzling in the air.

"The old monk is really powerful!" the people discussed, and the four people on the second floor also secretly admired.

Liu Dianzong was defeated, knowing that the comer was not good, so he made a look at the prefect Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun understood, and ordered: "This month, the demon monk of the court, rushing into the government, trying to do wrong, coming, regardless of the officials and the people, whoever catches him will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, and those who help from the side will be rewarded together!"

If the monk does it, it is inevitable to injure the people by mistake, create a debt of murder and sin, and violate the precepts of Buddhism, but if he is caught, it is not so easy to survive today, flee at this time, and he is afraid of being laughed at by the juniors in the future, the monk of the Moon Court did not expect to meet such a scoundrel, he did not leave for a while, and he did not stay, and he was about to be trapped by everyone.

"Senior Brother Liu, this adult, I think today is just a misunderstanding, it's better to stop here, why make a big fight, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism should live in peace!" Yin Mengfu persuaded peace.

"Yes, what kind of ability do you have to bully more and less!" Dou Qiongying hugged her shoulders and sneered.

Jiang Kun saw that a few young people came to stop him, and was about to get angry, but Liu Dianzong signaled to suppress it, and pretended to apologize: " It turns out that Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Shi are here, I am busy with official business, neglect the two, atonement for sins, the day before yesterday The gold hidden in the golden cave, I have and Jiang Kun called the people to extract all the gold, and escorted into Beijing in the future, it is indispensable to report the merits of the two to the saint, but today this monk is rude, should have let Lord Jiang deal with it according to the criminal law, that is, Senior Brother Liu opened his mouth to intercede, then we adults do not remember the villain, and spare you, Lord Jiang, we deposit into Beijing for the top, do not care about him!"

It turned out that Liu Dianzong had already arranged a ship with Jiang Kun, and as soon as he got out of the Golden Cave, Liu Dianzong quietly left everyone to find Jiang Kun, took them back to the Golden Cave to mine gold, and transported them out by big ship.

"Senior Brother Liu is in a high position, we don't dare to blame, it is best to turn hostility into jade silk. Yin Mengfu hurriedly took the monk of Yueting to retreat to the side of the restaurant.

The prefect Jiang Kun took the opportunity to pick up a step, pretended, gathered his subordinates, dispersed the onlookers, and prepared to leave.

"Everyone, don't leave it here!" Liu Dianzong gave a slight salute on the horse, with a smug smile on his face, and rode away, the monk of the Moon Court secretly said in his heart, there is a character like Liu Dianzong in the Daomen, it seems that a battle between Buddhism and Taoism is inevitable in the future, Amitabha.

After Liu and Jiang went, Yin Mengfu and others invited the Yueting monk to the second floor to talk about it, and after a few people met, they took their seats in turn, and the little two of Jin'er's life store added a few vegetarian dishes, Dou Qiongying opened his mouth and asked the master if he might solve the poison of the workers, and the Yueting monk shook his head and said that he was not competent.

"Thank you a few times for breaking the siege, otherwise the old monk will kill him, Amitabha. The monk of the Moon Court expressed his gratitude to several people.

"Whatever the master says, we are just raising our hands. Dou Qiongying felt that this monk's cultivation method was very strange, and asked, "Master, forgive me for taking the liberty of writing, can this writing also practice enlightenment?"

"Yes, I heard the master say that the master used books to enter the Buddha, and the younger generation really does not understand the mystery, so I hope the master will teach you. Yin Mengfu said with a smile.

The monk of Yueting nodded, with a cane in his hand, and said: "Don't hide it from you, the poor monks in the early years of the enlightenment of Buddhism and the monks are no different, but it is to eat fast and meditate, meditate, and then there is no great growth, one day to study Buddhism in the Dunhuang grottoes, see a big book of Buddha characters, the penmanship is pure, after a few years of reading the book to fully understand, calligraphy is also on the Dharma, starting from the precepts, good at the wisdom, proof in the source of the heart, wonderful in the enlightenment, the poor monks have traveled to various mountain and forest monasteries for decades, observe the inscriptions, study the calligraphy, Buddhism also has a slight understanding. ”

"Can learning books and characters really be connected with enlightening Buddha?" Shi Xiao muttered.

"Yes. The monk of Yueting replied without thinking: "Little donor, Buddhism has a "Diamond Sutra", which is designed to speak the Dharma for sentient beings, and teaches people to leave the phase. Therefore, to learn the books of the ancients is to listen to the Buddha's teachings. If you can recognize the wonder of calligraphy in the Qin, Han, Jin and Tang dynasties, and you will be separated from each other everywhere with your own spirit, you will have the way to become a Buddha. ”

After listening to it, everyone had some understanding, and the stone remembered the secret words in "Seven Notes on the Clouds", if you can understand the Buddha by studying books, can you also realize the Tao by practicing the Thunder Method? What about the Thirty-six Pure Yang Sword Technique?

Everyone talked to the monk of Yueting again, seeing that the sun had sunk in the west, and there was no shadow of the lonely butterfly fairy, several people began to worry, and the Tiekou Dao people upstairs went down to the second floor several times to inquire, but they were all disappointed.

The monk of the Moon Court had already noticed a little bit, and asked: "Miss Dou just asked me about the poison of the worker insect, the poor monk really can't save it, this worker insect is a strange poison in the Cave Continent, it is very powerful, but I know that there is a Yunmeng Immortal Weng who can be cured, it is appropriate to go and find him." ”

A few people were just about to answer, when they suddenly heard a voice from downstairs: "That's right, Yunmeng Immortal Weng is here!" Everyone hurriedly got up to look, only to see a person walking up the stairs, black clothes and black hats, a strange fragrance floated upstairs with him, he was followed by no one else, it was the lonely butterfly fairy, she ignored the tiredness, and said to everyone: "I'm back!

Before the stone people could speak, they suddenly heard the voice of the Tiekou Daoist from the third floor: "Aunt and grandmother, you are finally back!"
