Text Chapter 72 Old Things in the Northern Desert
Watching the people from Baihumen leave, Fang Xiaodao patted the railing and prepared to go back to prepare his luggage, but he turned around and bumped into Sun Yan. Sun Yan said: "It has nothing to do with good and evil, I advise you not to let it go." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Yes, although there are many people who want to kill me and hate me, but a person like him who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside is unique. ”
Sun Yan said: "If you chase it out now, even if you kill a piece of armor and don't leave a piece of armor, I will never tell anyone." ”
Fang Xiaodao didn't speak, looked behind Sun Yan and said, "You see, this is the rivers and lakes." Everyone has evil, even if they are pure and good-natured, in this world of deceit, enmity and hatred, there will be ruthlessness to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
Sun Yan felt that this was definitely not for himself, because he understood this truth for example, Fang Xiaodao, and there was no need for Fang Xiaodao to fiddle with this truth here. So, when he turned around, he saw the little warbler.
When the little warbler came, he happened to hear their conversation. In her impression, Fang Xiaodao is different from others, he may not be the kindest person in the world, but he will never kill innocents indiscriminately. Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaijin, who looked cowardly, was able to make Fang Xiaodao have the idea of cutting grass and eradicating the roots. So, an indescribable disappointment welled up in her heart. Even if the entire martial arts is the same, she hopes that one person can be different.
To a certain extent, love comes from being different. It is precisely because everyone is different from each other that love is exclusive. When you really fall in love with someone, you must be in love with the other person's difference, and it is precisely because you love a certain quality that he has that others do not have, so you will fall in love with him and not others. And if this difference gradually disappears, his attraction to you will disappear, and the empathy will happen. It is precisely because people are always looking for differences when they are looking for love, so people who stand out from the crowd are always easy to fall in love at first sight. This would also explain why Xiao Ying was disappointed, as she noticed that Fang Xiaodao was disappearing from the spot.
After the rain, the mountains were empty, and the group set foot on the road to find the Yanbo Pavilion again. When the Chu River reaches this section, it is mountainous and rapid, and it seems to be particularly suitable for people who are mysterious and secretive to live in seclusion.
At noon, several people came to the bottom of a mountain with a small boat at the bottom of the mountain. In such an inaccessible place, seeing a small boat, it is inevitable that everyone will think about it. At least someone should have been here, and it's better than getting nothing.
The three abandoned the boat and climbed the mountain on foot. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, but you don't want people to be active all year round, which is inevitably disappointing.
Just as the four of them were about to give up, He Yuelan pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Look, is there a pavilion there?"
The other three immediately looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was a faint pavilion above, hidden by grass.
The four of them immediately climbed up, but saw that there was only one old monk in the pavilion.
Fang Xiaodao walked over and said, "Hey, old monk, what are you doing here?" He was already a little impatient looking for Yanbo Pavilion, but he rushed up and saw an old monk, and his depression can be imagined.
Sun Yan felt that he was too rude, after all, the old monk looked very superior. So he shook his head and said, "Let's not disturb the master's cultivation. ”
Fang Xiaodao didn't think so, walked over and said, "Old monk, I'll ask you to settle some accounts, you don't have to pretend to be confused." ”
The old monk opened his eyes and said, "Oh, this donor looks familiar, have we seen it anywhere?"
Not only did Fang Xiaodao meet him, but he also scolded him many times in his heart! This old monk not only ate his meat, but also left a few words that he still didn't understand. It turned out that he was the carnivorous old monk that Fang Xiaodao had encountered outside the Broken Soul Valley.
The old monk smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I thought that my fate with Fang Shaoxia was over." Hehe, I didn't expect it!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "You better explain what you told me to be born when I met the Buddha! I didn't meet the Buddha to get any way to live, but broke into the Valley of Broken Souls." Now that I think about it, if you hadn't told me that I was born from a Buddha, I really wouldn't have had this experience. ”
The old monk said: "The donor is wrong, the true Buddha saves people, naturally has a compassionate heart, and has nothing to do with the grievances that the world thinks." ”
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and he was speechless to refute, because breaking into the Broken Soul Valley had indeed saved his life. If he hadn't hid Su Ruoyao at that time, the situation that day seemed to be lifeless. And it turned out that there was no reinforcement outside the Zen Monastery that day, just a false shot from Qiuguo. So, no matter what happened later, the Buddha really saved his life.
Fang Xiaodao said: "You monk is not good at chanting, but you have learned good fortune-telling skills!"
The old monk smiled: "In this world, there have never been many cases of blind cats encountering dead rats. I'm a blind cat, and I've always had good luck. ”
Fang Xiaodao turned back to Xiao Ying and said, "Do you have any meat in our dry food, bring some." ”
Xiao Ying was stunned and said: "There is meat in the meatloaf, and there are more green onions." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Give it to me." ”
Xiao Ying took two meatloaf to him, but he didn't expect him to give them to the old monk easily. In the surprised eyes of several people, the old monk took over and said, "Master Fang is really a rare good person!" After speaking, his face did not change and he put the meatloaf into his mouth.
Fang Xiaodao smiled: "I still have some things, so I won't let you help me calculate the hexagram, let's meet again!"
When the old monk saw him get up and leave, he said in a hurry: "Stay." This was said in such a hurry that the food in his mouth squirted out, all of which squirted onto Fang Xiaodao's clothes.
Fang Xiaodao said with a gloomy face: "I just changed it, and I haven't changed it anymore." ”
The old monk smiled: "It's just food, it's not dirty." Then, swallowing the contents of his mouth, he said, "You are looking for Yanbo Pavilion!"
The four of them immediately became curious, this master really had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and he was able to see through the hearts of several people. Unexpectedly, the old monk said: "The martial arts have spread, saying that Gong Nanyan went to Yanbo Pavilion, and he went to meet some lover." ”
The four of them were shocked, how could this kind of thing spread! This is an extremely secret matter, as long as a few people here don't spread it, only Li Xuezhen may spread it. But Li Xuezhen, how could she betray her mentor!
When the four or five people were still shocked, Fang Xiaodao looked at the old monk with a pretentious look and said, "It definitely hasn't spread in the martial arts, but some brokers should really have the ability to know about it." ”
The old monk was told that he didn't have the slightest embarrassment, but smiled and said: "Master Fang is really smart!"
So, what kind of old monk would be bored enough to ask a broker to inquire about this kind of almost scandalous news! Probably, there is only this kind of guy who swallows meatloaf in a big gulp. But his intentions are still puzzling.
The old monk said: "A few are worthy of being martial arts leaders, this Yanbo Pavilion is not easy to find, but a few of them found it in a few days, amazing!"
Sun Yan said: "I'm ashamed! But the seniors said that we found the Yanbo Pavilion, isn't this it?"
The old monk nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Yanbo Pavilion." However, the Yanbo Pavilion is still there, and the people in the pavilion have moved elsewhere. ”
Fang Xiaodao walked around the pavilion, and finally saw a few houses on the other side of the mountain that were already in ruins. It can be seen that this place was really inhabited before, but now it is gone.
Sun Yan said: "Then, where are the people in the Yanbo Pavilion now, please ask the seniors to give advice." ”
The old monk shook his head and said, "This, the old man doesn't know. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I don't think so, if you really don't know that the people in the Yanbo Pavilion have left, why did you bring us here?"
The old monk looked back at Fang Xiaodao in surprise, coughed heavily and said, "How do you know?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "If you don't want to, you won't stay here and settle down." Because people who are looking for people will not be so bored that they will waste time here. So even if you're really looking for someone, at least you've taken the time to trick us here. ”
The old monk said helplessly: "Familiarity is familiarity, you should be polite to the old man." After speaking, he stood up, patted the weeds on his body with a bite of the meatloaf in his mouth, and said, "Talking as you go, I have to let you understand what is going on." ”
It turned out that the missing person in the martial arts was not Gong Nanyan, but also Han Zhenqi of Shuiyue Temple, a senior monk of Futu Temple. The two don't seem to have much to do with each other, Han Zhenqi is known as the most rogue Taoist priest by everyone, while Fa Jue is known as the most talented monk in Futu Temple. Fajue and Fa Nian, Fakong are the same generation, but they are much younger. He is young, but martial arts and Buddhism are not below them, so he is called a genius. These three seemingly unrelated people had one thing in common when they disappeared, that is, they were all related to the Yanbo Pavilion.
After the old monk finished talking about these things, Fang Xiaodao said curiously: "Aren't you also from Futu Temple, what is your legal name?"
The old monk said: "The poor monk's fate." ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded, suddenly thought of something and immediately turned his head, stared at the old monk and said, "Divine monk?"
In fact, it was not only him who was shocked, everyone expressed their incredibleness. Because Fa Yuan is the contemporary host of Futu Temple, known as a monk and monk, he has countless reputations. As far as Buddhism is concerned, in the past few decades, only the Dharma Yuan can be compared with the withered vine Zen master. However, it is hard to believe that a priest has become an unreliable monk of wine and meat. In this way, how can you be the abbot of Futu Temple!
Fa Yuan said: "Look, because of this, I never sign up for friends and don't talk about Buddhism. Because I signed up or taught the Dharma, it would definitely make our friendship very vulgar. Now, don't flatter me. ”
Fang Xiaodao looked at the meatloaf that he hadn't eaten yet because he was busy talking, and he really didn't know what to say about him.
Fa Yuan picked up the meatloaf and took a bite and said, "Eating meat is just a mask, don't you think that after I eat meat, I have become a lot closer!"
Sun Yan turned his face away, he really didn't want to destroy the image of the monk in his mind. It is enough to know an unpredictable Fang Xiaodao, and now I also know an inscrutable monk fate.
Fang Xiaodao walked to the shore and said, "I don't believe monk, you don't know where Yanbo Pavilion is, you can show the way!"
Fa Yuan shook his head and said, "If you row, you will never find the Yanbo Pavilion." Although it is right for you to stare at the banks of the river on both sides, it is wrong to find the way. ”
Fang Xiaodao said, "Oh, why?"
Fa Yuan said: "You must believe that the world is very vulgar, and there are always a lot of far-fetched beliefs. Therefore, when the people of the Yanbo Pavilion leave the Yanbo Pavilion, they will also live in the land of Yanbo. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "However, there seems to be a bit of a lot of smoke in the land of smoke waves. ”
Fa Yuan smiled: "Although there are many, they must choose the ultimate place." ”
Fang Xiaodao couldn't understand this sentence, so he could only meditate hard, but at this time, he found that he was not familiar with the world.
Xiao Ying said: "If you say the extreme, does Yuelongtan count?"
Fa Yuan said: "This female benefactor is so insightful, she is really well-informed. I think that the donor and the female donor are both very wise people, and they will walk the rivers and lakes together in the future, they will definitely be a pair of fairy couples!"
If this kind of thing is not mentioned, everyone will be vague, but when someone mentions it, it is embarrassing. Xiao Ying lowered her head in shame and peeked at Fang Xiaodao, who was quite thick-skinned and a little blushing.
Fang Xiaodao said: "This Leaping Dragon Pond, why is it the ultimate smoke wave?"
Fa Yuan said: "Yuelongtan used to have a name, called Yunding Sea. Because the period was shrouded in fog all year round, there was no end in sight, and everyone thought that it might be vast, so it was named the sea. Genting Sea, the name is actually very vivid. However, later someone entered the Yuelong Pond and found that it was actually not very big. On the contrary, the river water flowing into it hangs directly on the clouds, which is magnificent, like a dragon jumping down. So it was renamed Yuelongtan. The Leaping Dragon Pond, even if you are in it, it is difficult to get a full picture of it, because it is too foggy there. The whole waterhole is in this smoke wave, that's why I say it's an extreme place!"
After he said this, everyone felt that it was very possible, and they also dispelled their doubts, and decided to follow Fayuan.
Everyone was in a hurry, and as a result, they could only spend the night by the river.
Fang Xiaodao's grilled fish without salt walked to Fa Yuan's side and said, "It's good that you eat meat." ”
Fa Yuan took it, and said solemnly: "Compared with the avenue of Buddhism, abstaining from meat is just a trivial leaf. However, those who covet the appetite of the appetite cannot become a Buddha. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Then why are you?"
Fa Yuan said: "I can't become a Buddha in the first place, and entering the Buddha door is just a choice for all hopes." Buddhism made me let go of the past, but in the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, I became a person who saw everything as empty. ”
Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "The four are empty, which is the earth, water, fire, and wind. But with you, how come the Buddhist precepts have become empty?"
Dharma Yuan said: "Among the four emptiness, what is not empty, and the world is empty, so why is the Buddha an exception!"
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said: "If even the Buddha is empty, then there is no way to talk about becoming a Buddha, so the study of cultivating Buddhism is also empty." If you say that, it doesn't make any sense. ”
Fa Yuan smiled: "It's very contradictory, isn't it? So the Buddha can't say it, and if you say it, it's all wrong." ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded, he really didn't understand the Buddha, and what he said was in vain.
Fa Yuan recited the mantra of the past life, but he didn't start eating, but looked at Fang Xiaodao and said: "How forgetful are ruthless people, I look at the donor Fang, I shouldn't have forgotten the old people of the Northern Desert!"
Fang Xiaodao frowned and said, "Why did the master suddenly say that?"
Fa Yuan said: "A layman friend told me that if you can't repay the infatuated woman in the Northern Desert in this life, it will be a big negative." ”
Fang Xiaodao said strangely: "Sect senior?"
Fa Yuan nodded and said, "Before he came back, he killed a few people in the Northern Desert to stabilize your status as a confidant." At that time, you probably didn't expect it, and the old man didn't expect it either. To this day, it is a mystery how the old man died in the end. But Zong Hangyao made a move and did not show up, so he gave them the illusion that the old man was not dead, which was able to stabilize the situation. ”
Fang Xiaodao said after a while: "Old things, mention him to do something." ”
Fa Yuan said: "She didn't believe that you would kill her grandfather at all. So, when she says this, she actually does you a great favor. At least, when you go to the Northern Desert again, you won't be killed immediately. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "What do I think, you are saying it upside down?"
Fa Yuan said: "Look, you didn't think of it, but she thought of it, which shows her wisdom and wisdom." The Northern Desert Supreme Palace is very complicated, and they dare not be ambitious when Old Man Shan is alive. But after he died, no one was willing to live under others. Think about it, Old Man Shan has conquered countless disciples of the Supreme Palace of the Northern Desert, but how loyal can so many ambitious people have?"
Fang Xiaodao suddenly remembered the Pi Jinchao he had encountered in the desert, and after carefully recalling it, he came to a terrible conclusion. Pi Jinchao may not have killed himself at all, because even with Yu Jin, they still can't escape. The reason why he escaped must have been that Pi Jinchao deliberately released the water. Under the circumstances at that time, he didn't seem to have any reason to release water, and if there was, it must have something to do with the sudden intrusion of Yu Jin. Behind this, I'm afraid there is something unclear about it. The reason why he thought this was because he was very suspicious of Yu Jin's sudden appearance three years ago.
Fa Yuan continued, "So, she is now surrounded by enemies. If you go to the Northern Desert, you are her enemy than her lover. Here, she also made sure of one thing, that is, you must go back to the Northern Desert. Now you tell me, is she right?"
Fang Xiaodao nodded as if he was suddenly a little decadent and said, "Even if it is an indiscriminate love, it will actually worry about it." Master, is someone like me a wobbly villain?"
Fa Yuan smiled: "You will definitely have a choice, it's just a matter of time." ”
Fang Xiaodao was reluctant to leave everything to time, because this martial arts was too complicated, and many things happened without warning, and he was powerless to stop it. He felt guilty because he felt that he had been too cowardly to help her even the slightest. Although it turns out that Zong Hangyao is better than going by himself, this kind of thing is already very similar to being negative if he doesn't go. Especially when he thought that he was trying to get rid of this inappropriate entanglement, he became very sorry for others.
The five of them walked along the Chu River for a few days and came to the legendary Yuelong Pond.
Yuelong Pond can only see a cloud from above, and the name of Yunding is really very vivid. The river jumped down from the cliff, and only its sound was heard. Such a place is indeed a mystery.
Fa Yuan stood on a stone and said, "Come, after twenty years, I want to see the power of the light skill of the ladder again!"
In everyone's puzzled looks, Fang Xiaodao said, "Is there anything in the world that you don't know?"
Fa Yuan smiled: "As long as you get to the bottom of it, you will find that I don't know much." ”
Fang Xiaodao has practiced a light skill called "Lifting Ladder" since he was a child, which literally means to ascend to the sky with a whirlwind as a ladder. And the terrible thing is that in the martial arts, if you ask a hundred people, not necessarily one of them knows that Qin Bugui and Fang Xiaodao use a ladder. Because this ladder has been forgotten for hundreds of years, it is remarkable to know the name. And Qin Bugui and Fang Xiaodao, their light skills are not famous, and no one wants to know what light skills are at all.
Fang Xiaodao said: "You have to see me and understand, but you can't let me jump." The escalator is a name, and it is impossible for anyone in the world to step on the wind. ”
Fa Yuan smiled slightly, jumped without warning, and jumped into the clouds.
Everyone was shocked, they couldn't see anything below, so they jumped like this, and it was difficult not to fall to pieces.
Fang Xiaodao shouted: "Master, master!"
After seeing it a few times, a bald head suddenly came out of the clouds and said, "I'm not committing suicide. ”
Could it be that this Dharma Origin Divine Monk can actually fly, how can he stand in the clouds? Or is there something else in the clouds?
