Chapter 22 Tianchan Temple
Tianchan Temple, the first emperor of the imperial pen "Heaven Buddha and Earth Zen" Therefore the name of Tianchan Temple, located in the great virtuous country in the state of the peak of the salary mountain, the mountain is more than 600 zhang high, since the reason there is a heart is not sincere, people are not good, it is difficult to see the legend of Tianzen, the world is anxious to prove that they are sincere and kind, just like the ants all over the mountain, climb all over the mountain road, after climbing the steep and rugged mountain road, you can see the Nu Zen Hall in front of the mountain gate of Tianchan Temple, there are four heavenly kings in it, there was once a gentleman on the beam, also came here to prove that he is sincere and good, finally climbed the long mountain road, just entered the angry Zen Palace, he died of anger, Tianchan Temple has spread all over ten miles and eight directionsγ
Further inward, there is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Miaofa Terrace, the Ranga Hall and so on.
Tianchan Temple is divided into lower temple and upper temple, Nuzen Hall and so on belong to the lower temple, behind the lower temple, there is a small high mountain, the upper temple is on the small high mountain, it is said that the small high mountain lives all the monks who practice the Tianchan Temple, the small high mountain is steep on all sides, the mountain road is not repaired, mortals are not allowed to enter, and I don't know how the monks on the mountain usually go up and down.
Today is the temple fair, on the mountain road, there are several more sincere people than usual, on the narrow mountain road, people are crowded, feet are trampled, and even some people are crowded and squeezed in the crowd of people to fall asleep, just be wrapped in the crowd and slowly take it to the mountain.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the dense forest of the mountain people, only the man in white with a short sword on his back stood out of the mountain forest, stood on the straight mountain wall as if walking on the ground, and ran quickly to the mountain, and from time to time he turned back and shouted: "You can hurry up, if it is too late, the opportunity to enter the Tao will be all mine, and you will come in vain." β
This person is called Bai Gen, is the son of a farmer under the salary mountain, since he was a child, he loves to practice martial arts, he met like a beggar in his childhood, learned a body himself, a month ago, the beggar disappeared inexplicably, Bai Gong immediately prepared to go to the salary mountain, from the release into the road, determined to go to the nine-step Jue Fan to see the peak of martial arts in the world.
More than a dozen cultivators jumped out of Bai Gen, climbing or climbing, and walked on the mountain wall with difficulty, not at all as relaxed and comfortable as Bai Gen.
Bai Gong was the first to run to the foot of the small high mountain, but found that he was not the first to arrive, not far from a big tree was sitting leisurely on a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old holding a jade fan, wearing a green shirt, two steps to the bottom of the tree, Bai Gong pointed to the tree man boy and asked: "Child, you are also here to enter the Tao, what is your name? My name is Bai Gong." β
Bai Gen didn't want to listen to the young man's reply after speaking, turned around and left, the young man just shook his fan, and did not speak, Bai Gen walked to a tank, which was filled with clean water, and there was nothing in the water tank except for the clear water tank.
Next to the vat stood a head, whose name was clear.
After a pillar of incense, the group on the mountain road slowly arrived.
Daotong spoke: "Today's Dao test, anyone who fishes out the Buddha beads from this vat, can enter the Dao, this Dao test only tries to enter the Dao, and has nothing to do with qualifications." With that, he stepped aside.
A group of people immediately discussed: There is obviously nothing in this tank, how can it be possible to fish out the Buddha beads?
Bai Gen glanced back viciously: "The master said that there is, there is, if you don't understand the subtlety of the Dharma, it is better to go home early, and make some noise here." β
The people behind were as quiet as a pile of wood.
Bai Gen stepped out in front of the vat in one step, directly submerged his entire right hand in it, and then stirred it vigorously, and after a while, his face appeared with joy: "There is! hahaha!"
As he spoke, he took his hand out of the jar, raised his right hand high, and a bead shining with a faint Buddha light was impressively in his hand.
The right hand raised high, in the eyes of envy and jealousy, turned around a long time before handing over the Buddha beads to Daotong, who accepted it, nodded and let him stand beside him.
Seeing that Bai Gong got the Buddha beads so easily, everyone was eager to try, but only two of the remaining dozen people finally got the Buddha beads, and the two people who got the Buddha beads consciously stood behind Bai Gen, and Bai Gen's face became more and more proud.
After everyone had tried, the Jade Fan Hou jumped down from the tree, came to the vat, dug shallow with his hands, took it out, his hands were empty, he stretched out his whole hand to the bottom, stirred it vigorously, and still didn't.
This action caused Bai Gen to laugh, and sure enough, he was the only genius of his own cultivation, and he thought of it when he met the beggar.
Dao Tong recited a Buddha name: "Donor, this is the Buddha treasure common to the Buddha, there can be no misjudgment, don't force everything, there is no here, you can ask for it elsewhere." β
Yufan Hou looked depressed: "Alas, the master doesn't know, I... I can't wait. β
After speaking, he hugged his fist at Daotong, and went down the mountain alone.
It was night, the full moon was shining, and the shadows of the trees were shaking on the small high mountain.
In the sunset pavilion of the small high mountain of the temple, an old monk in gray robe Zen clothes is participating in Zen, although the clothes are simple, but the string of wooden relics holding beads still shows the identity of this person, it is the abbot of Tianchan Temple, the Tao is bitter.
Daotong stood outside the Xizhao Pavilion and hung his head: "Abbot Qiqi, today's trial meeting has ended, and there are four monks who have entered the Tao. β
"This year is half less than last year, but is there someone suitable to pass on my mantle?"
"Yes, there is a person named Bai Gen, and the martial arts and spiritual skills are all suitable for the abbot's cultivation. Actually, there is a more suitable one. β
"Oh?"
"Although that person is fifteen or sixteen years old, he has an earth-shattering cultivation, but unfortunately he did not pass the Dao test. β
"Since you can't enter the Tao, you have no chance with my Buddha. By the way, what's wrong with him?"
"He has been imprisoned in the cave of, and three of the eighteen chains on his body have been torn off, and I have already called for someone to remake them. β
"Alas, evil fate, now that he looks like this, don't let people know his identity, and then I Tianchan Temple will be speechless, and more people will be added to patrol, and he must not be allowed to escape from the Cave again. β
Dao Tong received the decree and left, and Dao Ku slowly opened his eyes: "If the wind and rain are shaking today, and the disciples of my Tianchan Temple are becoming scarce day by day, I hope that this Bai Gong can get my true inheritance as soon as possible, and boost the prestige of my Tianchan Temple in the Shi family." If he had come to his senses, he wouldn't have to worry so much, alas!"
On the small high mountain, on the edge of a hidden cliff, the Jade Fan Hou's legs were hanging in the air, drinking alone under the moon, he slowly took out the whisker branch in his arms, thinking about the white top in the past, and couldn't help but cry: "Actually, it's okay, it's just that I'll see you later, if you know that I left you alone and left home, you will definitely teach me a lesson, and it's even more inconvenient to marry you when you leave home, well, this is not good, not good, sure enough, this Shi family has no fate with me, in this world, there is nothing more than my fate with you, right?" β
He poured all the ten-year-old pots into the wind, when the sound of chiseling the mountains and opening the stones came from under the cliff, and the Jade Fan Hou was curious for a moment, and jumped into a cave on the cliff wall like a fluttering willow leaf.
The entrance of the cave is old and old, and it is impossible to see how many years this cave has existed, and when I walked to the entrance of the cave, I heard the sound of iron chains.
Turning a corner in the cave, I was greeted by an old acquaintance: Mi Grudge.
Countless chains wrapped him like a cocoon and hung him under the gable, where he was pounding against the back of his head.
When Yu Fan Hou first saw him, Mi Fan Hou was only stunned for a moment, and then continued to hit the wall, the hard rock wall had been knocked out of a big pit by him, and his eyes were red, and Mi Yan was even more crazy than the last time Yu Fan Hou saw him.
The Jade Fan Hou cautiously spoke: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Mi Yan didn't answer, his eyes were glazed, and his face was expressionless.
"Master, what are you doing here?" asked the Jade Fan Hou again.
"I'm knocking on the wooden fish, and the wooden fish says there is revenge. Mi finally spoke, but his eyes still didn't look at the jade fan.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside: Alas, what a bad luck, I came to this gloomy cave in the middle of the night.
Jade Fan Hou glanced around, found a dark corner on the roof of the cave, and flew up to the ground.
Two monks came in, one fat and one thin.
The fat Kai said: "It's the turn is the turn, what's the way, who made us unlucky." β
The thin pouted: "I don't know what the origin of this madman is, let the host raise them for so many years." β
The fat man hurriedly covered the thin man's mouth: "Don't say that, I heard that the last time this madman ran out, he hurt a lot of people! β
The thin man broke the fat man's hand: "What are you afraid of, haven't you seen so many iron chains locked? I heard that there are as many as eighteen, and the iron-headed monks have been fighting for more than a month to build them." β
The fat man made a bitter face: "Didn't there be so many chains last time, and it wasn't that he was torn off." β
The thin man ignored him, and took a small step forward to look at Mi Yan: "It is said that fools have a good life, and a madman has a long life, which is really not wrong at all, don't look at this cave so simple, this madman doesn't seem to have aged at all, since he beat me into the temple, his face hasn't changed much, guess how old he is?"
The fat man's eyes rolled as if he was recalling something: "I remember once I heard Uncle Daotong call him Uncle Ancestor. β
The thin man glanced at the fat man: "Uncle Shi, how is it possible, there will be such a madman in our temple, Uncle Shi, who is still locked up here every day to drink wind and eat soil." β
Suddenly, Mi grudge struggled hard, and his chain shook violently, and the thin man screamed, so frightened that the whole person collapsed, and the fat man reacted faster and ran to the hole, and the thin man also shouted while crawling: "Go and call the abbot!"
Seeing that Mi was struggling more and more, many of the iron nails that were chained into the rock began to loosen, and the abbot would definitely come after a while, and it was no longer safe to hide on the top of this cave.
Piao left the cave and watched the situation at the entrance of the cave from afar.
After a while, Dao Ku and Dao Tong flew down the cliff and came to the entrance of the cave, and there were no other novices around.
The jade fan Hou slapped the mountain wall with both palms, followed the mountain wind, was to the edge of the cave, and firmly attached to the cave entrance, the strong wind on the top of the mountain just hid his breath, but it also blew so that his eyes were almost unable to open, so he could only stand up his ears and listen carefully to the sound in the cave.
"Master, ancestor, offended. β
Dao Bitter Hands are like flowers, and he clicked on several major points on Mi Yan's body.
"I don't know how long I can last this time, no matter how many times I click on his acupoint, he can always untie it on his own. Daotong looked helpless.
"Senior brother, I've always been curious, why Uncle Shi is called a monk without a master, if he really doesn't have a master, his cultivation is all self-cultivation, but it's really hard to be convinced. β
"How is it not that the master died early, we should know how the master and the ancestor became a Buddha. Daotong looked sorry.
