The old man in the robe said calmly: "Don't panic, hurry up and light the candle!"

The young man in Taoist clothes behind the old man immediately lit the fire.

The light loomed in the cavern, but everyone could see a protruding rock closing in, and the gnome was burrowing out of the last gap in the rock......

Everyone looked closely, and saw that the three women just now, the monk of the Western Regions who could still walk, and the evil quartet had all disappeared.

Even the monks who had just died on the ground were taken with them, and no one was left behind, as if they had never been there......

It's all like a dream, ridiculous and incredible. Even those who have experienced it themselves find it too bizarre and weird.

Only the blood stains on the ground, the wounded lying on the ground and the dead righteous men can prove that this is not an illusion, but a bloody reality......

............

The winter in the north may be too cold and long.

The sky is about to be dusk, the snow is dancing, the winter wind is still howling, and the cold frost is surging.

In the dark sky, I don't know when the goose-down snow drifted again......

Snow dance, dancing pheasant.

Pheasant and snow, why not?

There is nothing, and there is no snow.

In the dark, it seems that someone is divining the hexagram and praying for a flying snow to cover up the sorrow of this world......

The snow is like a dream, and the snow is like a passing year, floating in this red dust, delusionally blowing away the past like smoke, and the grievances and hatreds in the rivers and lakes.

Troubled mountains and snowy nights, lonely candles and strangers.

At this moment, how many souls of the dead are not exceeded? and how many wives and children are waiting for the traveler who can no longer return home?

Even the statues of gods and Buddhas outside the cave seem to be lamenting the ignorance and sorrow of the common people, and pity the misfortune and misfortune of human fate......

My heart is like snow, no one can solve it, but how many times I have stumbled, and I follow the wind?

The wax torch is broken, and the tears are hard to dry.

The candle ash lamp went out and rekindled.

The flames in the glass lamp jumped and flickered, like elves, and the cave was as bright as day.

It's been a long time, and everyone has found out the mechanism and secret passage in this "house".

There are two mechanisms, and after the first mechanism is touched, the boulder rotates, and the secret passage appears, leading to the back mountain.

The second mechanism was silent, but an inlaid portrait on the rock wall had already risen, and the back of the portrait was connected to the tunnel outside the "Hall of Ecstasy......

The mysterious black-clothed man with outstanding martial arts and the blue-eyed blonde Persian woman just now must have relied on the mystery behind this portrait to come and go freely......

But how did the three women, the Western Regions monks, and the Evil Quartet open the mechanism the moment the lights went out and the lights lit again, and escaped from behind the rocks with the dead monks?

————How do they do it?

What exactly did ———— do?

It's really confusing.

Could it be that there are secrets in this cave that no one has discovered?

Under the arrangement of the old man in the robe, all the manpower has been divided into three batches.

The first group of people was led by Ye Feihong, the great disciple of Songshan, and led the most capable disciples of the sect to pursue them from the movable rock, relying on the bloodstains left along the way, to find the habitat where they fled.

The second group of people led by Shaolin Yuan Cong and Yuan Jing brothers, Yuan Cong led people to the vent at the top of the mountain, and the fireworks were used as a signal to inform the disciples of the temple to send more manpower to rush to support; Just in case, Yuan Jing led people down the mountain quickly, met with the disciples under the mountain, clarified the situation, and brought more people back......

The third group, led by Liu Qing and Jia Ying, took care of the wounded people in the cave, and carefully escorted them down the mountain to meet the people who met at the bottom of the mountain.

About an hour later, almost all the wounded and dead in the cave were delivered to the bottom of the mountain. Everyone has basically completed their respective tasks, but the first batch of people in charge of tracking has not yet returned, and there is no news for the time being.

............

The wind will stop, and the snow has stopped.

The night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars.

A bright first quarter moon hangs in the sky, and before you know it, it is night.

At this time, until the last group of people went down the mountain, Liu Qing and Jia Yi had time to talk to the old man in the robe in detail.

I saw Liu Qing walking in front of the old man, clasping his fists and bowing his head, even the cynical Jia Ill beside him, his attitude was extremely respectful, and he heard the two of them say together: "Junior Liu Qing, the younger Jia Ill, meet Master Wuxiang!"

It turned out that the old man in the robe was a Taishan Beidou-level figure in today's martial arts, and one of the "Shaolin Three Divine Monks" Master Wuxiang.

Among the rivers and lakes, the "Shaolin Three Divine Monks" Void Abbot, Master Konghui, and Master Wuxiang are naturally self-explanatory.

In the past, in order to find the heir of the Dharma, the five ancestors of Master Hongren ordered each of them to present a post to show their understanding of Buddhism.

The monk Shenxiu is like this:

The body is a Bodhi tree,

The heart is like a mirror,

Always wipe diligently,

Don't mess with the dust.

Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch penetrated the Buddha's way, and after hearing about it, he changed it to:

Bodhi has no tree,

Spiegel is not a platform,

Always wipe diligently,

Where to stir up the dust?

The heart should be born without dwelling, and everything is born from the heart.

This is also known as the "Bodhi Verse" that has been widely spread in later generations.

Where is the Buddha?

Buddha in the heart.

The Buddha is not there, and he is not there.

Those who worship the Buddha do not worship, and do not worship but also worship.

For those who believe in Buddhism, believing is not believing, and not believing is also believing.

There is no self, everything is empty, everything is formless, everything is born from the mind.

Having is nothing, and nothing is being.

Even this world is just an illusion.

Yes is right and wrong, and no is yes.

Yes and no, yes and no.

What the hell is it?

————But can reality really be transferred by people's will?

———— world, is there really no more objective standard for judging right and wrong?

———— you don't think about it, does all this really not exist?

———— Buddha is just a kind of sustenance for people's lives?

I don't answer, I can't answer, I can't answer.

There is also the cloud of the "Vajra Prajna Jackfruit Sutra": "When contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom and walking deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering." The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, which are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, nor increased nor decreased. The accident is colorless in the air, and there is no desire to do knowledge...... so it is said that Prajna jackfruit has many mantras, that is, the mantra says: "Reveal the truth, reveal the truth, reveal the truth, the Bodhisattva Bha." ”

In addition, in Buddhist terms, the four-volume nineteen-page cloud of the Shiqin Commentary: "If you take the self-nature of the calculation, the color is emptiness, and emptiness is the color." Why? Counting on the non-possession of the colors that we hold on to is emptiness. This emptiness means that there is nothing left. If it is not according to him, it cannot be said that it is one. ”

Therefore, the essence of Buddhism is the word "emptiness" and "nothingness".

Because of this, monks who have taken "emptiness", "emptiness", and "nothingness" as their Dharma names are generally the highest in seniority.

As an important tenets of Mahayana Buddhism, "color is emptiness, emptiness is color", in fact, contains a deep philosophical thought. To put it simply, color refers to all phenomena of things that can or cannot be seen, and these phenomena arise from cause and effect, while emptiness refers to the essence of things, and everything comes into being from nothing.

However, many people today have taken "emptiness is color, color is emptiness" out of context, and have a distorted interpretation, thinking that color refers to women, and emptiness is nothingness or nothingness...... These perceptions are incorrect.

In fact, "color" is not feminine, and "emptiness" is not nothing, and to understand the true meaning of this statement, I am afraid we have to start with the basic teachings of Buddhism......

The fire in the cave was even more intense, and even Liu Qing's pale face was a little ruddy against the background.

Master Wuxiang returned a salute, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "Young heroes don't need to be polite, today's matter, if it weren't for the help of the two of you, I don't know how it would have ended...... The donor is a young hero, and has a chivalrous heart, the future must be incomparable, and among the young people of the next generation, if there are a few more people like young heroes, it is really a blessing in martial arts!"

Liu Qing sighed and said: "The master has an overreputation, and the younger generation only hates that his attainments in martial arts are too shallow, he can't return to the sky, and the strain is too stiff, and he even gives this group of thieves a chance to escape, if they can't be caught today, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there are few clues in my hands at the moment, I really don't know ......what to do."

Master Wuxiang was slightly surprised, and said slowly: "Listening to the tone of the donor, could it be that you already know where those people came from just now?"

Liu Qing said: "The four men in black, although they are not completely sure, they are also sure that they can guess eight or nine points. As for the three masked women and the group of hideous monks from the Western Regions, forgive the younger generations for their clumsiness, and they can't jump to conclusions. ”

"If the kid is not mistaken. Jia Yi on the side said: "Those three women must be the 'Three Fairies on the Other Side' in the Western Regions!"

"The three fairies on the other side?" Liu Qing wondered, "What is that?"
