Liu Yi and Wang Xie stayed in Xuankong Mountain for a long time, it was July, and still no one asked, the two of them went to the big dining hall to eat and drink when they were thirsty and hungry, and they didn't need money to eat for nothing.

Liu Yi would take the wooden sword every day to make a gesture, and he would also wander around the mountain to see what pattern and doorway the mountain that Miss Baili didn't dare to climb?

The mountain is different from the mountain, the mountain is bounded by Qinshui, the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple basically account for half, and the mountain is the Taoist temple is large and small, one set after another, and the Buddhist temple is squeezed into the corner and can not breathe.

The stone stairs outside the door of the Taoist temple on the mountain have been stepped on thousands of times, it has become smooth like a mirror, the mountain gate is smeared black by the sweat stains touched by one person after another, there is an old road sitting in the door of the main hall, selling some incense, and by the way, solving the fortune telling.

After Liu Yi entered the door, he saw the gray-robed old Taoist priest with gray hair, and asked, "Is your signing spirit here not working?"

Lao Dao raised his head, wiped the hara on the case with his sleeve, wiped his face vigorously before he opened his eyes and smiled: "The poor Dao's sign, there is nothing that does not work." ”

After hearing this, Liu Yi smiled and asked, "How much is a lot?"

Lao Dao grinned and said: "There are a few front teeth in the mouth, and the poor Dao charges a few pennies." ”

Liu Yi saw the three yellow-black old teeth in Lao Dao's mouth, and chuckled: "Three front teeth." ”

Lao Dao wiped the bamboo stick and chuckled: "Yes, there are fewer and fewer front teeth, but fortunately, the belly is getting smaller and smaller." ”

Liu Yi put three copper coins on the desk, stretched out his hand and drew a lot, he didn't look at it, and handed it to Lao Dao.

Lao Dao took it and looked closer, laughed and said, "No word." ”

Liu Yi grabbed the bamboo skewer and held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and there was no word.

Liu Yi put the skewer into the bamboo tube, picked up the three pennies and prepared to leave.

Lao Dao grabbed Liu Yi's hand, almost one finger at a time, moved Liu Yi's fingers away, took out the three copper coins, Lao Dao wiped all the sweat stains on his sleeves, put them in his sleeves, and did not forget to shake his sleeves to prevent them from being lost.

Liu Yi raised his eyes and waited for Lao Dao.

Lao Dao smiled dryly: "The money is not much, you draw a non-sign, and the bamboo stick will be given to you." ”

Liu Yi nodded, no longer care, after eating white food for so long, and then worrying about the three pennies, it is not pushing himself to the forefront, what if he asks for money for dinner in the future.

Lao Dao looked at Liu Yi who was blowing in the wind through the hall, and chuckled: "Childe, alas, wearing a green shirt and carrying a sword, like a sword fairy!"

Liu Yi turned around and laughed at Lao Dao, striding through the courtyard with a wooden sword.

The old man bent his waist, looked up at Liu Yi who was going up the steps, and said softly: "Jianghu, merry, wow, sharpen your head and climb up!"

Liu Yi subconsciously turned around, only to see Lao Dao closing the stall, and said with a smile: "It's an accident today, buy two buns to eat." ”

Liu Yi waved goodbye and walked quickly into the door.

Liu Yi opened the door and entered, only to see countless people standing on top of the hall.

Countless pairs of eyes looked out the door.

Liu Yi rolled his eyes and looked around, there were Taoist priests and monks in the room, and there were so many people!

Liu Yi didn't advance or retreat, and asked with a smile: "Are you ready to fight?"

The room was full of people who did not speak.

Liu Yi pointed to the Taoist priest in half of the room and asked, "Who chose the place to fight here, and if the monk smashed something, would he pay compensation?"

Liu Yi pointed to the monk in the middle of the room and asked, "Don't you spend the incense money of good men and women when you smash things, don't you lose your heart?"

A thin old monk came out, dressed in a black red robe, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting here for the donor." ”

Liu Yi held the wooden sword horizontally at his waist and said with a smile: "Wait for almsgiving, see the Buddha and go." ”

An old Taoist priest in a yellow robe came out, clasped his fists and smiled: "Waiting for you to come." ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "It's accurate to say that there is still hair on your head." ”

The old monk in the black red robe said with a smile: "The donor has been on the mountain for more than 30 days. ”

Liu Yi hugged his fists and replied: "Let's say okay first, I haven't eaten a meal at the Monk's Temple." ”

The old monk smiled: "Yes, the poor monk knows." ”

Liu Yi looked at the people of the two sects who swept the room, then looked up at the wood on the roof, and asked, "What are so many people looking for me?"

Outside the door, an old Taoist opened the door and came in, followed by a middle-aged Confucian student, the old Taoist wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes, and said with a dry smile: "What is your boy's name?"

Liu Yi hugged his fists and replied: "Liu Yi." ”

For so many years, the old Taoist who has been digging stones on the side of Xuankong Mountain with peace of mind has been conscientiously repairing stone ladders, and the sloppy Taoist who has not been on the mountain for many years exclaimed: "Happy!"

Liu Yi felt confused, when did he have such a big face, so many people came to greet him, looking at the old Taoist priests and big bald heads in the room, Liu Yi felt that these should be all masters outside the world, right?

Lao Dao laughed and said: "The name 'Yi' complements my Taoist purpose, you kid should cultivate the Tao." ”

The old Buddhist monk pointed to the top of Liu Yi's head at the foot of the slope of the mountain, and did not reveal the heavenly opportunity, but said: "This is the person who is the head of the ascetic path of my Buddhist family, who will go ascetic in the world in the future and beg for food, and educate the people with compassion for all people, and for himself, after the completion of Buddhism, he will attain nirvana, and avoid the suffering of falling into hell." ”

Is it difficult to fight the world or defend the world?

Then the old Taoist and the old monk argued endlessly around this topic.

Lao Dao had the momentum of pointing out the country, and said loudly: "Don't listen to those tree stumps talking nonsense, it is difficult to fight the world or it is difficult to defend the world, there is a saint in ancient times who said: 'It is difficult to guard the world.'" 'Liu boy, you should guard the Xuankong Mountain's Xuanzi, Taiji Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. ”

The great monk scolded: "You bull's nose is nonsense, you can only become a holy monarch by fighting the world, and the one who guards the world may be a mediocre master, so Lord Liu, you should move a position to the empty word, Amitayus Buddha." ”

A little Taoist boy came out of the Taoist crowd and said with a smile: "The old monk loves to talk nonsense, Liu Yi don't believe him." ”

A little monk also stood up in the monk team, and said: "The Taoists who love to talk about ghosts and gods are the ones who talk about gods and gods, don't believe them!"

The pink-carved little Taoist boy shook his yellow Taoist robe and scolded: "You kid forgot to pee on the Feisheng Platform last time, so you didn't forget to go wild in the Daxiong Treasure Hall last time, right?"

The white and pure little monk didn't want to meet in advance, no matter what he said, he was at the expense, and replied with a chuckle: "What the poor monk said in front of the Buddha is right, my Buddhist practice, great compassion is originally based on the word 'unbearable', and everything can move the heart of compassion, that is, compassion." ”

Half a room of monks listened to the little monk's words, what is great compassion, what is the reality of all laws, what is the wisdom of prajna, what is nirvana and nameless, and the little monk can say something different.

Xiao Daotong laughed.

The Taoist priest in the middle of the room laughed.

Xiao Daotong changed his usual amiable voice and said with a smile: "The word 'unbearable' in your heart makes you feel compassionate, so where do you put the Buddha?"

The little monk seemed to expect this question, and said unhurriedly: "There is not only the word 'unbearable' in the heart of the poor monk, but the compassion in the heart of the poor monk is because of the Buddha in his heart. ”

Xiao Daotong smiled: "The topic is too big, when will we have a good discussion on the Flying Ascension Stage." ”

The little monk timidly asked, "The poor monk thinks that it is very good under the big tree outside the Buddha hall. ”

Xiao Daotong laughed, stepped forward to pat the little monk's head, and asked, "Cowardly?"

For the words of the two children, it seems that the two families do not take it seriously, and it seems that the hearts of the two families are raised in their throats.

After all, many people on the mountain revolve around the two children.

The middle-aged scholar came out of the crowd, holding one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and took him to the bottom of the mountain to go shopping.

The old Taoist priest looked at Liu Yi and said with a dry smile: "Choose a Taoist or not, you give a quasi-word." ”

Liu Yi didn't answer.

The old monk smiled and said: "Lord Liu, you are the reincarnation of my Buddhist head, and the wish of the previous life is not fulfilled, so you are reincarnated and continue to cross people, you can't learn the Tao and lose that Buddha heart." ”

The old Taoist priest asked: "The true meaning of the three religions is the same way, and the head of the Buddhist family is considered to have gone astray by cultivating the Tao of the first world? ”

The old monk scolded with a smile: "You read the Buddhist scriptures, the Taoist heart has a conflict, naturally you can't read the word 'unbearable', my Buddhist head has never heard of Buddhism in this life, and I can't learn what it's like, and I missed the good time of this life in vain." ”

Liu Yi smiled and asked, "You're almost arguing, you can do it." ”

The old monk laughed at the old Taoist, "Let's also look away, and there is also the shadow of the lobbying family." ”

The old Taoist priest does not speak, the old monk has no work to do in the mountain for so many years, reads the Buddhist scriptures and talks about the Dharma every day, the mind is very bad, a few days ago there was a young lady who came to the Taoist temple to ask for marriage was persuaded by him to go to the monk temple to ask the Buddha to go, the pair of men and women laughed so happily when they went down the mountain, the old Taoist knew that the old monk who passed the Buddhist language orally lied.

The old monk recites the scriptures and praises the Buddha every day, it is not bad for this day, Liu Yi does not speak, he does not speak, since the old Taoist priest has delayed his work, he naturally does not mind delaying for a while, and said with a smile: "Liu Yi, you choose slowly, one day you will figure it out, my Taoist is better than the Buddha's family, Xuankong Mountain can't change the empty Xuanshan, when the old Taoist is still alive, it can't be changed." ”

Liu Yiyang asked with the wooden sword in his hand, "What is it like?"

The old monk sang Amitabha Buddha and replied, "Buddha." ”

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "It's like a hundred miles of Qingqing." ”

The old monk, who knew that he had lost, touched the big skinny bald head, and said unconvinced: "What did Lord Liu Shi say it looked like, but he didn't say who it looked like, your bull's nose answer is biased." ”

Liu Yi smiled: "I choose Taoism." ”

The old Taoist priest smiled, and the room full of Taoist priests vied for laughter.

The monk's camp went out listlessly, and they still have to persuade Wang Xie to cultivate Buddhism, and the king is also a good seedling.

On the same day, Liu Yi moved into an independent courtyard, although the sparrow was small, there was everything in the courtyard, and he also received three standard robes and two Taoist crowns, Liu Yi could see from the three suitable Taoist robes, Xuankong Mountain Taoist incense was very prosperous.

Liu Yi, who chose Taoism, regretted it the next day, after worshipping the master, Liu Yi was not free for a moment, and followed the old Tao to the mountainside to repair the stone ladder.

A few days later, Liu Yi asked curiously, "Master doesn't teach me the Dao Fa?"

Lao Dao put down the stone pressed on his belly, and said with a smile: "Cultivate the Tao, first calm your mind and then talk about it, if your heart is calm, the Tao will naturally be a thousand miles a day, if your heart is moving, you can't enter the Dao and don't say it, and you will mess up your mind." ”

After Liu Yi chiseled the stone flat, he asked, "What is mental tranquility?"

Lao Dao said softly: "Lao Dao has been repairing stone ladders for so many years, and he has never complained. ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "Master, you want to cultivate, of course don't complain, Master wants me to repair, it's normal for me to complain." ”

Lao Dao chuckled: "That's the reason. ”

Liu Yi asked a question that had been pressing in his heart for several days, "Master, what is your Dao number?"

Lao Dao looked at the south and said with a smile: "Quiet." ”

After Liu Yi heard this, he teased: "The ancestor is too careless to choose a name. ”

Lao Dao probably forgot that he hadn't read a book, and said a secret, "There is an old Taoist priest in the south, and his master gave him a Taoist number, but he can't read it, and he forgot how to write it." ”

Liu Yi took advantage of his free time one day to go to the courtyard where they lived, and Wang Xie happened to come over to move things, and he became a big bald head.

Liu Yi asked, "What is Master's surname and what is his name?"

Wang Xie opened his mouth and said, "How much is the longevity of Dao Chang Immortal?"

Monks don't say their names, and they don't say longevity.

The two joked as before, but they didn't seem to be the same.
