Chapter 773: A Scholar Who Has Lived for More Than a Thousand Years
Buddha Tuling Mountain, since Li Fuyao and Ye Shengge left, there have been no guests for several days.
Although many people knew that Li Fuyao and Ye Shengge must have seen the lantern at that time, but after these two people left, Li Fuyao went straight to Luoyang City, where there were two Canghai monks in Luoyang City, and naturally no one could do it.
After that, Li Fuyao achieved the climbing realm, a climbing realm with such a strong killing power, who can do anything?
Even if someone wants to make a move, it can only be a monk who is in the sea to make a move, but if such a monk makes a move in person, he is really not afraid of losing face?
So after Li Fuyao went to the demon land, even if someone thought of the idea of beating him, no one made a move.
And Ye Shengge, as a monk who is more wonderful than Li Fuyao's realm, there are two Daomen saints, Liang Yi and Ye Sheng, who are also Dao species, and they look like this, besides, the future of this Dao Gate is not in her, but in hand?
That's why no one has ever done anything to her.
Although many people wanted to know what they saw on the Spirit Mountain.
There are people who want to go up to Lingshan to see, but Lingshan has never seen many visitors, and there are many people who want to go up the mountain, and there are very few who really climb it.
Zen Zi is going down the mountain to the mountains and rivers today, his Dharma name is called Guanlou, but now, he has already become a real monk who climbs the building, from the sea, only the last step, into the sea, Zen Zi should not only have those Zen principles in front of his eyes, but the whole Buddhism should be in front of his eyes, so while he has not yet landed in the sea, Zen Zi has to go down the mountain to do things, to deal with the Zen that has been incomprehensible in the heart.
Hui Chou monk knew about this, did not stop it, but was happy to see it, after all, he is not young, not many years to live, if Zen can become the sea earlier, he can be regarded as an explanation of the Buddhist Taoism.
When Zen goes down the mountain, he must pass through the bluestone path on the mountain.
Before, no matter who looked at Lingshan and how they looked at it, it was all a golden light, but recently, I don't know how, many trees on the mountain have grown green branches and leaves, and the mountain road has also faded to gold and turned back to cyan.
This suddenly made Lingshan look much better than before, this was originally a vision, but Hui Chou Monk said that it was not a matter, and said that everything in heaven and earth has its own cause and effect, so he ignored it.
On the way down the mountain, Zen happened to see two figures coming from the foot of the mountain, two figures, one old and one young.
The old man looked like an old Confucian student, with gray hair, a scroll pinned to his waist that looked like he knew to turn through hundreds of volumes of old books, and behind him was a young man with a strong figure.
With a bookcase on his back, he should be the old Confucian scholar.
However, such a scholar, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a person comparable to him when he travels all over the world.
Zen went down the mountain, and the old Confucian went up the mountain, and the two naturally met.
After the encounter, Zen first folded his hands and bowed, there are some exquisite things on the spiritual mountain that are not good, but there is one point, except for the sea, the rest of the monks no matter what realm they want, it is impossible to go up the mountain.
In a word, if you are not a guest of Lingshan, you can't go to Lingshan.
Since he is a guest, Zen naturally has to salute.
The old Confucian didn't feel abrupt, and accepted it calmly, and then looked at Zenzi and asked with a smile, "How is it on the mountain?"
Zenzi smiled and said: "Shi mainly knows how the mountain is, so naturally he has to go to the mountain to see it himself, and under the pretense of others, not only can he not finish what he says, but even if he listens, he can't finish thinking about it, and naturally he can't see the whole picture." ”
The old Confucian nodded, very satisfied with these words, he looked at Zenzi and sighed: "It seems that the monk Hui Chou has already prepared to pass the mantle to you." ”
Zenzi didn't say a word, just looked at the old Confucian with a smile.
The old Confucian waved his hand and said casually: "I know that you have something to do when you go down the mountain, and I know that you are going to go to the mountains and rivers, but if you go to the school palace, it will be over?"
Zenzi said softly: "I have to go to Luoyang City." ”
The old Confucian immediately smiled and said, "This is to talk to Yanling about things?"
Zenzi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, although there was some confusion in his eyes, he still made up his mind and did not speak.
The old Confucian asked casually, and he didn't expect Zen Zi to really answer him, he walked towards the mountain, and muttered: "I don't know what you think? ”
"Is there really a bit of a moisturizing and silent statement?"
The old Confucian said to himself, and he had already gone far away.
The young man with the bookcase on his back staggered past Zenzi, and he grinned at Zenzi with some kindness.
Zenzi also smiled slightly, and then went down the mountain.
The old Confucian climbed the mountain path of Lingshan while muttering about how high this mountain was, but in fact, he had walked through many places in his life and found that there were really a lot of things higher than Lingshan.
When he finally came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the old Confucian Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
The young man with the bookcase on his back soon appeared behind the old Confucian student, and he had walked the mountain road for so long without taking a breath.
The old Confucian looked at him and said angrily: "You kid, you are still young after all." ”
The young man smiled and said nothing.
It seems that in this world, there are really not many things he wants to say.
The old Confucian turned his head and said earnestly: "Xiao Xu, with a temperament like yours, it is difficult to please a daughter-in-law." ”
The young man named Xiao Xu hummed, and then said tentatively: "Then I'll say a few more words?"
The old Confucian laughed, "You are really a piece of rotten wood, compared to that kid in Wu Shanhe, it is much worse." ”
Xiao Xu snorted, but then he still sarcastically mocked his husband, "But Mr. wants to pass on the mantle, he doesn't want it, he still thinks it's interesting to practice swords." ”
The old Confucian frowned bitterly, "Xiao Xu, it's really boring for you to speak." ”
Yes, it's only been a few words, and Mr. thinks he's boring to talk again, so it's better to keep your mouth shut.
The old Confucian didn't talk to Xiao Xu anymore, because at this time, an old monk had already come to the front.
The old monk is the most famous monk in this world, and he is also the oldest monk, of course, if the lantern is also a monk, he can only be ranked second.
Standing in front of the old monk, the old Confucian looked unchanged.
It stands to reason that a guy like him who is not a monk of the sea should not be like this.
For this Hui Chou monk, it seems that he doesn't have too much respect, so it will be very bad in the eyes of other people.
The old monk didn't care, looking at the old Confucian Sheng, he quickly clasped his hands together and took the initiative to say: "It's been almost a thousand years, I really didn't expect to see you again in this life." ”
The old Confucian sneered, "When you came to Lingshan more than seven hundred years ago, you still didn't see me with a shelf, so you forgot?"
The monk didn't say much, and the incident more than 700 years ago was not very clear.
The old Confucian said again: "But I haven't seen you for more than a thousand years, haven't you changed anything?"
The white eyebrows of the Hui Chou monk floated, and he looked at the old Confucian and said, "Haven't changed much?"
The old Confucian waved his hand and laughed, "Everyone else looks uglier the older they get, but it's good for you, whether it's when you're young or when you're old now." ”
This sentence is not very particular, the so-called are all the same, that is, they are the same ugly.
If he said such a thing to the Buddhist master, if it was heard by thousands of believers in the Buddha land, I am afraid that just one person would spit at the mouth, and it would be enough to drown the old Confucian student.
However, Hui Chou Monk did not have an angry expression, but said with a smile: "It's the same, it's the same, it's rare to be the same in this world." ”
The old Confucian shook his head and said, "Look at it, this world is still the same?"
Hui Chou monk has always been a slow temperament, "I don't know if it's different, I just have to look at this spiritual mountain, but I don't want you, the whole mountains and rivers have been seen, and the entire demon land has been seen again, the Buddha land has been seen more than 700 years ago, you haven't been here, now come again, what do you think?"
The old Confucian said angrily: "All places are interesting, but this Buddha land, no matter how you look at it, it is not interesting." ”
Hui Chou Monk didn't refute, just said a few words, and then said, "Please." ”
There will definitely not be more than three people in this world who can receive such courtesy from Hui Chou, because he is the one who has lived the longest in this world, whether it is the realm or status, he is the one who is extremely high.
Even if Ye Sheng came in person, I was afraid that he would not get any courtesy.
It's just such an old Confucian student, after climbing the mountain, the monk Huichou coped like this.
The old Confucian turned his head to look at the young man and said: "Xiao Xu, go down the mountain, this time you can go to the school palace or go to individual academies, you can do it, anyway, I have said everything that should be said, you can think about it yourself." ”
The old Confucian walked the world for a thousand years, and only took two people to walk together, and only made a few friends, not counting the friends who had made friends like Hui Chou Seng before walking the world, then there were only Xu Lone, the ancestor of Jianshan, and a few ordinary people who had already left the world.
The two people he brought walked the world together, the first one was the current Jianshan Zhangjiao Wu Shanhe, he had traveled a lot of places with the old Confucian before, and the old Confucian was worn out of the young man's mouth, but Wu Shanhe just ignored him, and he didn't want to be his student and follow him to study.
If you have to practice that broken sword and practice, is it possible that you can be more powerful than Chao Qingqiu?
The second is this Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu was seen in Beihai, and then led him to a trip to the demon land, and then returned to the mountains and rivers, and then came to the Buddha land, anyway, walking around, Xiao Xu is an obedient person, although he doesn't like to read much, but this honestly walks down, and he understands a lot of truths.
But now, it's time for Xiao Xu to go for a walk by himself.
Xiao Xu asked, "Sir, if I go to the Xue Palace now, the Suzhang Church will give me a seat?"
The old Confucian student's face remained unchanged, and he nodded: "He will." ”
Xiao Xu scratched his head and said a little honestly: "Sir, why don't I think it's unlikely." ”
Only then did the old Confucian smile and said, "You think it's impossible, why are you still asking this?"
Xiao Xu nodded clearly, "Then I understand, then I'll go to the demon land first." ”
The old Confucian asked, "Why do you think so?"
Xiao Xu said seriously: "Ye Shengge can't find it, even if she finds it, it's not easy to fight, the main reason is that she still likes to play tricks, and she may smash out a lot of magic weapons at every turn, so how to fight at that time may not be able to beat, except for him, after all, the Sword Mountain Sect Master has followed Mr. for a while, and he is embarrassed to fight, so he can only go to the demon land to find Li Fuyao." ”
Among the young people who climbed the building, they were chosen and chosen, and only Li Fuyao was left.
The old Confucian looked at Xiao Xu and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only say: "Xiao Xu, sir, I don't have time to collect your body." ”
Xiao Xu had a black line on his head, and he didn't speak, and walked down the mountain with the bookcase on his back.
The old Confucian didn't stop him, but shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Xu, if you don't die, remember to tell me more about my reasoning to this scholar in this world." ”
Xiao Xu didn't turn his head either, just
I walked down the hill by myself, and of course, when I walked, I didn't forget to say a word.
The old Confucian was very satisfied, and then turned his head to look at the monk Huichou again.
The latter looked at Xiao Xu's back and asked suspiciously, "Where did you find the little guy, why did you go upstairs so quickly?"
The old Confucian nodded and smiled: "I have traveled all over the world, and I should always find one or two interesting young people." ”
Hui Chou monk said: "Then it seems that I should also take a walk in the world, Guanlou alone, for the Buddha land, there is still less." ”
The old Confucian walked forward, didn't look at the Hui Chou monk much, "Walk over and come over, such a person, there are only one or two, bad luck, one touches a lot, I have walked for more than a thousand years, I have met one of the Taoist species, but when I do, his mother is out of breath, do you say angry?"
Hui Chou Monk walked behind him and laughed softly: "One back and forth, one cause and one effect, are all destined things. ”
The old Confucian came to the steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and sat down, then looked at Hui Chou Monk and said, "Then you also think that the things in the world are doomed, why do you still do something that you don't do on weekdays?"
Monk Hui Chou came to sit down beside the old Confucian student, and asked with a smile: "What do you mean not to do in ordinary times? Six thousand years ago, your Confucianism and Taoism forced Buddhism into the land of Buddhism, and we should have a place in the mountains and rivers, but six thousand years later, you came to me again, saying that you want to exchange lanterns for the qualification to return to the mountains and rivers, I don't want to, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't go back." ”
The old Confucian frowned slightly, and then asked, "Now that you want Zen to start with Yanling, how do you start?"
This may be the biggest secret of Buddhism today, but I am afraid that in the whole world, except for Zen Zi and him, only this old Confucian can guess something.
"Starting from Yanling, there is no need to fight for anything, as long as Yanling can build a few temples, the rest will be left to time. ”
The old Confucian smiled: "You can really wait." ”
Hui Chou monk said: "If you are too impatient, it is not beneficial, and when the monk was established, it was just a boiling word." ”
The old Confucian nodded in approval: "That's the case, there are so many masters of your Buddhism, I think it's good, it's still the monk who is established." ”
After saying this, the old Confucian did not forget to take the monk Huichou, "Of course there are you." ”
Hui Chou monk didn't say anything, just looked at the old Confucian and said: "What has happened for more than a thousand years, if you don't say a few words, you won't have to say anything in the future." ”
The old Confucian patted his calf, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll go and see the lantern first, and then I'll talk about it." ”
Hui Chou did not speak.
Although the lantern is a sacred relic on the Spirit Mountain, it is up to him to decide who to see and who not to see, and no one has the right to stop the lantern.
The old Confucian said: "I should have gone to find Chao Qingqiu again, but this guy, even if he is alive, will definitely be the most troublesome master, after thinking about it, forget it." ”
Hui Chou nodded and said no more.
The old Confucian stood up and walked towards the meditation room, and soon disappeared in front of the eyes of the monk Huichou.
……
……
The lantern was still there, but when the old Confucian approached, the lantern woke up from its slumber.
The old Confucian pushed the door in, and the layout inside was still the same.
The voice of the lantern soon came out, "What have you seen in a thousand years?"
Facing the Hui Chou monk, the old Confucian didn't say anything, but when facing the lantern, the old Confucian said bluntly: "Changsheng." ”
The lantern snorted.
"When a seed is thrown down, it will sprout and blossom, and when the flower blooms, it will produce another seed, and that seed will sprout again, and this continuation is the continuation of the bloodline, and if in some way, all the people in the world are immortals. ”
Old Confucian Sheng's remarks, I think many people have thought about it, if he has seen this world for more than a thousand years, and he still only has this cognition, it seems that he has seen it in vain.
The lantern was silent, waiting for the following.
But the monk's immortality is imperishable, the eternality of the self, and unchanging. ”
The old Confucian thought for a moment, and then said, "But you can't do it in the world." ”
The lantern said, "So you still have to leave the world." ”
You can't live forever in the world, you have to leave the world to live forever.
I don't know how many people know this kind of argument, but it's one thing to know, it's another thing to really be able to leave the world, at least in the past 6,000 years, except for Chao Qingqiu, there is no second person who has been able to see the scenery except for here.
It doesn't matter if it's beautiful outside the world, as long as you don't die.
"In the past 6,000 years, there have been some problems, and probably the root of the problem is because of the great war. ”
The 6,000-year-old war has brought earth-shaking changes to the entire world, and these changes are embodied in the decline of the swordsman lineage for 6,000 years, and it is the North Sea between the demon land and the mountains and rivers.
It is that no one in the entire human world has been able to ascend for 6,000 years, even if it is as strong as Chao Qingqiu, he can only leave by opening the canopy of heaven with a sword.
The old Confucian said: "Because of that great war, it should also be changed by a great war." ”
The lantern asked with some confusion, "You have seen it for a thousand years, and you can see such a thing?"
The old Confucian smiled: "Sometimes the simpler the thing, the more people will not take it seriously." ”
The lantern stopped talking, and he felt that the old Confucian in front of him was actually a madman, as it was a thousand years ago, and it would be like this a thousand years later.
"Where have you been?" Even though the old Confucian was a madman, Lantern wanted to know where he had come.
"One last step. ”
