Volume 2 Ice and Snow Refining Spirit Chapter 46 Tibetan Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountains There are eight views on the Eight Scenery Peak
Chapter Forty-Six: The Ancient Tibetan Temple in the Deep Mountains There are eight views on the Eight Scenery Peaks
Deep in the mountains of the ancient temple, the sword out of the dragon spring!
On the other side of Daqing Mountain, there is another world entirely, and the endless mountains are full of dense forests, and from a distance, there are towering buildings in the depths of the dense forests.
In the early morning, before the sun shines on the earth, a crisp bell rings through the mountains.
Longquan Temple, this world-famous ancient temple has a long heritage, famous for casting swords, Longquan Temple cast Longquan Sword is the sword that swordsmen dream of.
Different from several other great sword-casting families in the world, the Longquan sword cast by Longquan Temple has its own unique method, generally cast by the monks of Longquan Temple, these swords are not good or bad, almost a mold is created, except for the number, there is no difference.
Longquan sword is famous for its sharpness and simple atmosphere, and according to legend, the ancestor of Longquan sword is the divine soldier 'Longyuan', and the 'Longyuan' sword is refined by Ou Yezi, an ancient refiner.
In later generations, because the technique of casting the divine soldier 'Longyuan' was too peculiar and the material was too precious, so the imitation of the divine soldier 'Longyuan' and the Longquan Sword were cast, and the Longquan Sword was famous all over the world because of the divine soldier 'Longyuan', and was loved by the people of the world, and the divine soldier 'Longyuan' was also named a god because of the Longquan Sword.
The sword of Longquan Temple has always been hard to find, because it retains some characteristics of the divine soldier 'Longyuan', so it is not easy to cast, there are not many Longquan swords handed down in the rivers and lakes now, but each Longquan sword can be called a famous weapon, and even some Longquan swords have reached the level of the sword.
You must know that there are thousands of weapons on the rivers and lakes, but there are not many that have reached the level of treasures, especially the same type of weapons, it is almost impossible to reach the level of treasures at the same time, and it is impossible to achieve mass production.
Nowadays, except for the Liu family's 'Taiyi Divine Needle', I haven't heard of any weapon that can reach the height of the Longquan Sword, not to mention, the 'Taiyi Divine Needle' has not reached the level of mass production, but the Longquan Sword has reached the level of mass production to a large extent.
That's why there is a saying on the rivers and lakes that 'the ancient temple in the deep mountains and the sword comes out of the dragon spring'!
The Longquan sword that has reached the level of famous weapons has been circulated a lot in the rivers and lakes, but the Longquan sword that has reached the treasure level rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, and almost all the Longquan swords that have reached the treasure level are in the hands of Longquan Temple.
And in Longquan Temple, not everyone can get the Longquan Sword, only a few monks who have made great contributions to Longquan Temple will hold it, and the Longquan Sword that has reached the treasure level is rarely revealed even in Longquan Temple.
Longquan Temple's control of the Longquan Sword is very tight, and ordinary people have no chance to see it at all.
The monks who can enter the refining hall in Longquan Temple are all monks who are loyal to Longquan Temple, and they have been dedicated to Longquan Temple almost all their lives, and Longquan Temple can reach today's height has a lot to do with them.
The place where Longquan Temple is located is called 'Longyuan Peak', and legend has it that this place is the birthplace of the divine soldier 'Longyuan', and later generations even say that the current divine soldier 'Longyuan' is above 'Longyuan Peak', but this news has not been confirmed.
'Longyuan Peak' is the inner temple of Longquan Temple, also called 'Longquan Ancient Temple', and it is also the core place of Longquan Temple, and outside Longyuan Peak is 'Eight Views Peak', Eight Views Peak and Longyuan Peak are one outside and one inside, mixed like nature, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach Longyuan Peak through Eight Views Peak.
Bajingfeng occupies a wide area, it is unimaginable, the existence of Bajingfeng almost isolates Longyuan Peak completely, the world only knows that there is Longquan Temple, but does not know that Longquan Temple is divided into 'Longquan Ancient Temple' and 'Longquan Temple', and the outer temple of Longquan Temple is located on the Bajingfeng.
Therefore, few people know the really famous 'Longquan Ancient Temple', of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and a few people also know the secrets of Longquan Temple.
It is rumored that only those who perform well in Longquan Temple are eligible to enter Longquan Ancient Temple.
Longquan Ancient Temple and Longquan Temple are definitely different from Yunni!
Of course, this is not to say that Longquan Temple is not strong, in fact, Longquan Temple is very powerful, even the world's famous forces do not dare to easily fight with Longquan Temple outside the temple, let alone Longquan Ancient Temple.
There are eight views on the Eight Scenic Peaks, Longquan, Ancient Temple, Remnant Sun, Cableway, Jackdaw, Green Pine, Nightmare Flower, Big Buddha Statue, each scene has a big atmosphere.
Longquan Ancient Temple has remnant sun,
Green pines stand beside the ropeway.
Jackdaws dot nightmare flowers,
The statue of the Big Buddha is next to the mountain.
Legend has a clear spring on the Eight Views Peak, the name is 'Dragon Spring', the water of the Dragon Spring is clear, sweet, drinking all the year round can prolong life, the tea boiled out with the water of the Dragon Spring, the fragrance is long-lasting, let people's minds be clear, there are rumors that the water of this Dragon Spring is the ambergris of the divine dragon flowing into it, it has such an effect; some people say that there is a divine soldier 'Dragon Yuan' hidden in this Dragon Spring, the water of this Dragon Spring is stained with the breath of the divine soldier, it will have this effect; some people say that the water of this Dragon Spring comes from the cold pool in the depths of Daqing Mountain, and flows here from the depths of the earth.
Either way, the magic of the water of the dragon spring is real.
People who don't know the secrets of Longquan Temple will think that "ancient temple" refers to Longquan Temple on Bajingfeng, but people who know the secrets of Longquan Temple know that the so-called ancient temple is Longquan Ancient Temple on Longyuan Peak.
Although Bajingfeng and Longyuan Peak seem to be unrelated, they have something in common between the two temples.
'Remnant Sun' is the most beautiful scenery on the Eight Scenic Peaks, and in the evening of a sunny day, the entire mountain is dyed with a layer of red glow, which looks beautiful.
'Cableway' is also a scene, the Eight Scenic Peaks are connected with the Cableway everywhere, the Cableway on the Eight Scenic Peaks is not only many but also firm, the Cableway is built in the mountains, the mountains are full of clouds and mist, people walk on the Cableway, as if walking in the clouds and mist, fluttering like a fairy who has left the world, and it is another taste to see the clouds and mist churning from the Cableway.
There are especially many jackdaws on the Eight Scenic Peaks, the jackdaws on the Eight Scenic Peaks are a kind of crows, and the jackdaws on the Eight Scenic Peaks fly and chirp among the green pines and nightmare flowers, and with the wonders of the mountains and rivers, it gives people a feeling that is not desolate, but mysterious.
The Nightmare Flower is a strange plant that is said to be highly poisonous and can make people fall asleep unconsciously.
The Nightmare Flower is a very rare and cherished plant, and it is rare even on the Eight Scenic Peaks, and it is impossible for people who are not destined to see the Nightmare Flower in full bloom.
The green pine on the Eight Views Peak, the form is different, it is evergreen all the year round, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is always a wonder on the Eight Views Peak.
The statue of the big Buddha naturally does not need to say much, the ancient temple of Longquan has a long history, thousands of years of precipitation, there are countless Buddhist monks, the big Buddha of various forms stands in the mountains, there is the big Buddha directly carved according to the mountain, the tall dozens of zhang, the shape of the eyebrows and eyes is vivid, just like the real Buddha in general.
At this moment, in a courtyard of Bajingfeng, hundreds of monks are sitting on futons and meditating, and an old monk with kind eyes is explaining Buddhist scriptures to them.
Whew!
The rhythmic snoring sounded, and a little monk about twelve or thirteen years old was somehow sleeping soundly with his head tilted, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously soaked the monk's robe on his entire shoulder.
There was a slight smile on the round little face, as if he had dreamed of something!
"Who is sleeping?" the old monk's kind and majestic voice sounded.
There was a monk who was sleeping, awakened in an instant, thinking that the old monk was talking about himself, quickly raised his head and pretended to recite the Buddhist scriptures, his eyes secretly glanced at the senior brothers around him, knowing that the old monk was not talking about himself, and then the next moment he suddenly turned his head and looked at the little monk sitting in the back row, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, but their smiles were full of kindness.
Every now and then, they can relax a lot and have a little more fun in the boring morning class!
"Guangfa, wake up!" The senior brother beside the little monk kindly pushed the sleeping little monk. 2020
After the little monk was pushed by the senior brothers around him, he woke up in an instant, and he also understood what was happening, after all, such things often happen.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the aggregates are empty, that all suffering and evil are crossed, that the relics are not different from the void, that the color is not different from the emptiness, that the emptiness is not different from the color, that the color is the emptiness, and the emptiness is the colorγγγγγγγ β
The little monk calmly recited the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" to himself, and suddenly he didn't notice the strange eyes of the senior brothers around him.
"Senior Brother Guangfa, who is sleeping soundly?" the old monk asked with a pretended majesty.
The little monk heard the old monk call him, so he said: "Back to Uncle Shi's words, Guangfa is reciting the Heart Sutra, and I don't know who is sleeping!"
"Oh, the snoring just now was so loud, with your cultivation, you didn't even hear it?" asked the old monk Pu Nian, pretending not to know.
Pu Nian is Pudu's junior brother and uncle of the little monk of Guangfa, he knows his temperament as a nephew too well, and he will never admit it if he doesn't catch it.
Of course, he also likes this little nephew very much, not only has great understanding with Buddhism, but also has extraordinary understanding along with martial arts, with the performance of this nephew should have entered the Longquan Ancient Temple of Longyuan Peak to practice, who knows that this little guy is unwilling to go.
Later, the senior brother Pudu also came by his temperament, put him in Longquan Temple to practice, today it happened to be his turn to explain the Buddhist scriptures, I didn't expect this kid to make an old mistake again, as if he couldn't wake up.
Today's morning class is basically over, and Pu Nian is also interested in taking the test for his own teacher and nephew, so he asked questions one after another when the little guy woke up.
"Uncle Shi is not strange, my nephew just read the excitement, but he didn't notice the movement around him. The little monk replied unhurriedly.
Pu Nian smiled, stroked his gray beard, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, I don't know which paragraph my nephew read to make my nephew so forgetful?"
The little monk seemed to have been prepared, and said: "Back to my uncle's words, just now my nephew recited 'the heart is not hindered, there is no obstacle, there is no terror, far away from upside-down dreams, and Nirvana' suddenly couldn't help but think in his heart, and he forgot everything. β
"Oh, I don't know what my nephew has realized? Can you explain it to us? The old monk Pu Nian opened his mouth step by step.
The little monk of Guangfa shook his head: "Uncle, what my nephew has understood, it is not enough for outsiders." β
"Oh, why is that?"
The little monk closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but he never spoke again.
Every time the little monk falls asleep in the morning class, he can have a good round, every time at this time, the brothers and sisters listen to the deviant views of the little monk, and they will have some understanding in their hearts, so that whenever this time, none of the brothers will open their mouths to disturb the dialogue between the little monk and the master.
But today the little monk didn't say much, just did a sound sleep, most people are puzzled, looking at the little monk with a confused face, some monks seem to have an understanding, but they don't understand why, when they want to ask the little monk of Guangfa, they found that he has fallen asleep again, and it flowed out quietly, so a group of people quietly stopped the idea of asking.
After half a ring, the old monk Pu Nian suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, but he didn't care about everyone's eyes, but said: "This is the end of today's morning class, let's disperse the monks!"
"Senior Brother Pu Nian, what does this Guangfa mean by being asleep? Could it be that this is a confession?" a monk of the same age as Pu Nian asked.
"Uncle Pu Nian, we have all recited the Heart Sutra, and we have read a lot of annotations to the Heart Sutra, but there is no description of the state of Master Guang at the moment?"
One by one, the big monks and the little monks opened their mouths puzzled, Pu Nian smiled and said: "Master Guang's nephew has great understanding with the Dharma, as he just said, 'not enough for outsiders', the Guangfa has the understanding of the Dharma, I have my understanding, you have your understanding, all the Dharma is nothing more than 'color is emptiness, emptiness is color, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color', all Dharma is empty, beware of no obstacles, no fear, in order to comprehend in Buddhism." β
"Guangfa has an understanding, the monks should not be disturbed, and disperse immediately!"
After finishing speaking, the great monk Pu Nian turned around and left, he knew that Guangfa's Dharma cultivation was already deeper than his own, and he had nothing to teach Guangfa.
After everyone dispersed, Guangfa was still asleep, unaware of the changes around him.
After Pu Nian returned to his residence, a carrier pigeon flew out of his room and flew towards Longyuan Peak, the back mountain of Bajing Peak.
Senior Brother Pudu is practicing in Longquan Ancient Temple at the moment, and he should tell Senior Brother about the changes in Guangfa as soon as possible, so that he can make the best arrangements for Guangfa.
"Have you heard? During the morning class this morning, Guangfa made a confession that stumped Master Pu Nian. β
"Oh, what is it, can you stump Master Pu Nian?"
"The monks don't lie, it's because we can't see Master Pu Nian's Dharma cultivation, how do you know that Master Pu Nian didn't investigate that confession?"
"Hmph, if Master Pu Nian has solved it, why don't you explain it to us?" the monk asked unconvinced.
"Amitabha, the master and nephew, what kind of realm the master, enlightenment is enlightenment, with his cultivation as the realm, but he disdains to lie, yes, the master and nephew must not speak lies in the future. A monk of the same generation as Guangfa folded his hands and kindly reminded.
"Yes, Uncle Shi. β
The whole Longquan Temple is full of discussions about the morning class, and the dialogue between Pu Nian and Guangfa has long been spread throughout the temple.
Some people say that this is nonsense at all; some people say that it is just an excuse for Guangfa to cover up his sleep; others say that Guangfa has a great understanding of the Dharma, and I am afraid that he has really realized the true meaning of the Heart Sutra.
For everything in the outside world, neither Guangfa himself nor Pu Nian cared about it, and allowed the monks to discuss and quarrel on this matter.
However, a few days later, the long-disappeared Pudu monk suddenly appeared in Longquan Temple, and then it was rumored that the courtyard where Guangfa did his advice was blocked, and Guangfa himself would leave Longquan Temple after March and enter the world to practice!
You must know that monks who are under the age of 16 cannot go down the mountain, and if they want to forcibly enter the world to practice, they need to pass the two levels of 'Fa' and 'Body'.
'Law' is the result of practicing together with Buddhism, it is not difficult to understand the talent of Guangfa, but it is not easy to pass one of the 'body' passes, you must know that although Guangfa and martial arts also have great understanding, but he is just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, if you want to pass the 'body' level, you need to break through the eighteen bronze arrays, with the martial arts realm of Guangfa, I am afraid that it is still a little bit hot.
Although, in the competition between the brothers on weekdays, Guangfa has won a lot, but the competition between the brothers and sisters has not done their best, and the eighteen bronze people don't care about you, they don't have the slightest emotion to talk about.
You must know that the eighteen bronze figures are divided into five ranks, the first class is composed of eighteen grandmaster-level monks, the second class is composed of eighteen top-level masters, the third class is composed of eighteen first-class Arhats, the fourth class is composed of eighteen second-rate monks, and the fifth class is composed of eighteen third-rate monks.
After the monk enters the temple to practice, if he wants to have a better development in the temple, then he must be assessed, all the assessments are divided into 'law' and 'body' two levels, one of the 'law' is good, only need to be able to skillfully recite a few specific scriptures, 'body' one of the passes is not easy to pass, the lowest level is also composed of eighteen third-rate monks of the bronze array, one is not careful is either death or injury.
The monks who form the bronze man array are generally called 'Arhats', taking its meaning of 'Arhat Golden Body', all Arhats practice is a combination of internal and external strength, and the external strength is stronger than the internal strength, and the hardness of the body is far beyond the ordinary martial arts, these thousands of years, the people who died under the bronze man array do not know how many, among them there are many masters, it is the bronze man array in Buddhism and the outside world will have such a famous name.
If Guangfa wants to enter the world to practice, then the bronze man array he wants to break into can only be the fourth-class bronze man array.
When the internal force has not reached the peak of Xiaocheng, there is no possibility of breaking into the bronze human array, and Guangfa is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
