Qibu Nunnery was once a glorious Buddhist temple, with a long history and many masters. Copy URL access

Like the Qingliang Temple, Wenshu Temple, and Pufa Temple in Wutai Mountain, as early as the catastrophe 5,000 years ago, the Qingliang Temple did not fall.

More than 3,000 years ago, the Kaye Temple of Mount Meru suddenly rose, and it was not the "Great Day Rulai Sutra" that had been passed down for many years in Middle Earth, but the "Faguang Bao Buddha Heart Sutra" that the first generation of the patriarch of the Kaye Temple came up with, which was powerful, causing the Kaye Temple to rise rapidly as a righteous sect in just one hundred years.

On the contrary, these ancient temples in Wutai Mountain, because most of the Xiuzhen classics have been lost, are gradually declining and gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

Now it seems that the decline of the Buddhist culture of Wutai Mountain is more serious than Yun Xiaoxie imagined, and there are only a dozen temples and dozens of mud thatched houses left in the dignified Qibu Nunnery, and it is even far inferior to the Ciyun Nunnery at the foot of Emei Mountain, which is really regrettable.

After talking to Master Miaozhen for a while, Yun Xiaoxiao gradually learned about the current situation of the Qibu Nunnery, and now the host is Nianci Zen Master, in addition to the Nianci presiding officer, there is only one Nianci Master left, as for the other dozens of disciples, they are all young disciples of the Miaozi generation.

Miao Zhen is the little disciple under the seat presided over by Nian Ci.

Now the whole seven-step nunnery adds up before and after, only more than 30 people, now it is the time for the evening class, most of the people are doing the evening class in the only complete meditation room in the back hall, so the whole seven-step nunnery seems deserted, and can only faintly hear the sound of chanting scriptures from the back meditation room.

The distinguished guests who came to Shushan, Miao Zhen did not dare to slack off at all, and led Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan to turn around in front of the dilapidated Daxiong Treasure Hall and several other side halls, including the most solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall, almost all the halls were dilapidated, not only the roof was full of big holes, but even the surrounding walls and the statues of the Buddha and Bodhisattva were also broken.

Yun Xiaoye and Li Tielan were both silent, and they really didn't know what to say.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yun Xiaoye wouldn't have believed it. This is the Seven Steps.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yun Xiaoye would have thought that this was an ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years, how could it still be inhabited?

Late at night, the sound of chanting scriptures gradually stopped, and Miao Zhen led the two of them to the only side hall that was still well preserved, located directly behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, with the inscription "Greedy Palace". The plaque is also dilapidated.

On the left and right sides of the Temple of Greed, there is also a couplet deep in the wooden pillars.

The upper link is "Buddha smiling flowers." Greed and forgetfulness have no way out. ”

The next link is "Tao Zhu is all good, willing to be benevolent and have their own wealth." ”

This couplet, which is deeply embedded in the wooden pillars of the stone steps in front of the Temple of Greed, seems to be relatively new compared to the surrounding buildings, this Hall of Greed should be thousands of years old, and the couplet seems to have been carved in the last few hundred years.

At the end of the evening class, from time to time out of the greedy temple, the nuns dressed in patches and linen plain clothes walked out of the temple, most of them were middle-aged. Only a few are younger.

These nuns' Dharma practice is unfathomable, and they were not much surprised to see Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan, two outsiders, appear in the nunnery, just glanced at it, and after the two of them folded their hands slightly, they left.

After all the nuns left the Hall of Greed, Yun Xiaoxiao stood in the moonlight. looked at the couplet in front of him in a daze, a little distracted.

These characters deeply engraved on the hard wooden pillars, the font is round and smooth, like a meteor twinkling, every word, every stroke and every painting seems to have the aura of Buddha power that has not yet dissipated.

Miao Zhen stepped forward. Said: "This is what one of our predecessors wrote when she left more than 300 years ago, she said that everyone in the world is greedy, greedy for money, greedy for fame and fortune, greedy for beauty, so this temple was renamed the Greedy Temple. And with the force of his fingers he wrote this couplet. ”

Li Tielan, who had not spoken, was suddenly surprised: "Write this couplet on this hard golden silk nanmu with finger power, four points into the wood, a hundred years are still fresh, the Buddha's power is not dispersed, and the seven-step nunnery really lives up to its name, I don't know what the predecessor's law name is?"

Miao Zhen said silently: "She is the presiding officer of our Qibu Nunnery three hundred years ago, and the Dharma name is Pure Water, and she has been away from here for more than three hundred years. ”

"Water purifier?"

Yun Xiaoxie raised his eyebrows and muttered, "No wonder the Buddha's power is so profound, it turns out to be a senior in water purification." ”

Miao Zhen said: "You come with me." ”

Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan followed Miaozhen into the Hall of Greed, and they didn't know if it was because Ciyun Nunnery was too poor or for some other reason, except for the three candles lit on the statue of the Buddha, there were no candles and oil lamps in other places, and the entire Hall of Greed looked a little dim.

At this moment, most of the ordinary disciples had already finished their evening classes and left, leaving only the two old nuns with pale faces sitting in front of the statue of the Buddha and meditating, both dressed similarly, both of which were made of the coarsest blue-gray fabric, which was extremely plain.

Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute, not daring to slack off.

Hearing the voice, the two old nuns opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes fell on Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan.

The difference is that the fatter old nun's eyes finally fell on the short stick that was diagonally inserted in Yun Xiaoxie's waist.

And the thinner old nun beside him looked at the Mo Evil Ancient Sword that Li Tielan was holding tightly in his hand.

These two old nuns, the fatter one is the current presiding officer of the Tzuyun Nunnery, Nian Ci Zen Master, and the one next to him is the Nian Zhi Master.

"Ancient Sword Mo Evil?!"

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Master Nian's cloudy eyes, and when did he sit cross-legged on the shabby futon with both hands, and said slowly: "Female benefactor, but the newly rising Mo Evil Fairy of the Shushan Sect in the past few years?"

Li Tielan clasped her hands together and said, "Junior Li Tielan, I have seen two seniors. ”

The host of Nian Ci nodded slightly, and said, "Then presumably this benefactor is the donor of Yun Xiaoxie." ”

Yun Xiaoxie clasped his hands together, bent down and said, "It's the junior." ”

"It's really a hero out of a young man, and the Yin and Yang Qiankun Dao of the Shushan Sect is really extraordinary. The fact that the two of you have such attainments in the line of cultivation at such a young age is really an eye-opener for the poor nuns. Hey, it's a pity that we don't have the same talent as you in the Seven Steps. ”

The master of Nian Ci who spoke, but soon, the host of Nian Ci beside him said, "Senior sister, why do you have to be attached to this?"

Master Nian was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ashamed, his hands were folded, and he pronounced a Buddha name, saying, "Senior sister taught me." It's that I'm obsessed with it too much. ”

Nian Ci's gaze swept over Yun Xiaoxie and Li Tielan one by one, and said, "I don't know if Master Yun and Mo Evil Fairy, what is the important matter of coming to my Qibu Nunnery today?"

Yun Xiaoxiao said: "I was ordered by my father to come to Wutai Mountain to find a senior, and I happened to pass by Gui'an, so I came to pay a visit." If you are disturbed, please forgive me with the two seniors. ”

A smile appeared on the withered face of the presiding officer. But it was a little hideous, wrinkled all over, and the deep marks were as if they had been whipped out one by one by the invisible whip of time.

I only heard her say: "The donor is a distinguished guest, but I am afraid that the small nunnery is simple and neglects the two donors." ”

Miao Zhen took two futons from the side and put them behind Yun Xiaoye and Li Tielan, and said with a smile: "Master Yun, Mo Evil Fairy, sit down and talk." ”

The two thanked each other and sat cross-legged on the futon. Facing the only two remaining seniors of the seven-step hermitage.

Nian Ci presided over and asked about the current situation of Yun Canghai, Master Yunshui, the head of the Shushan faction, and others, and Yun Xiaoxiao and Li Tielan also answered one by one, especially Li Tielan's words were decent, and her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was really everyone's demeanor.

After a long time, Yun Xiaoye suddenly said: "Two masters, the juniors have a question to ask the two seniors. The younger generation came to Wutai Mountain for the first time, and they are quite unfamiliar with this place, so they don't know where the Broken Dust Peak is?"

The two masters, Nian Ci and Nian Yan, suddenly moved, turned their heads slightly, looked at each other, and their eyes instantly became a little weird.

Miao Zhen, who was present, frowned and said, "Is there a Broken Dust Peak in Wutai Mountain?"

Yun Xiaoye was stunned. Said: "No? No, my father said, let me come to Wutai Mountain Broken Dust Peak to find a senior, that senior lives in seclusion under a Buddha statue with a height of 3,300 zhang and a width of 560 zhang, it should be easy to find." ”

Miao Zhen was greatly surprised and said, "Impossible. Although Mount Wutai is an important place of Buddhism and has a long history, the highest Buddha is only 460 zhang, and in Cuiyan Peak in Zhongtai, where can there be a big Buddha 3,300 zhang high and 560 zhang wide? I have lived in Wutai Mountain for decades, but I have never heard of it. ”

This time, it was Yun Xiaoxie's turn and Li Tielan to look at each other.

Yun Xiaoxie's thoughts flashed in his heart, his father would definitely not lie to himself, could it be that he heard it wrong, not Wutai Mountain?

Unexpectedly, at this time, the host of Nian Ci suddenly said slowly: "Master Yunshi, are you sure you want to find Broken Dust Peak?"

Yun Xiaoxie frowned and said, "Could it be that there is any secret in this?"

Nian Ci nodded slowly, then shook his head again, and said: "It's not a secret, it's just that Broken Dust Peak is a little difficult to find, and most of the young disciples who practice in the ancient temples of Wutai Mountain have never even heard of this place." ”

Yun Xiaoxie was surprised for a while, but seeing that Nian Ci and Nian Yan seemed to know, he asked, "Please also ask the two seniors to give advice." ”

At this time, Master Nian said, "We can tell you, but with Master Yun, you have to tell us, what are you looking for Broken Dust Peak?"

Yun Xiaoye suddenly hesitated, and secretly glanced at Li Tielan beside him.

He came to Wutai Mountain this time, in fact, because the Netherworld Tempering Qi in his body was becoming more and more popular, so Daddy Yun Canghai asked him to bring a dilapidated Buddha bead to Wutai Mountain's Broken Dust Peak to find a senior, maybe that senior could help him find a way to resolve the Ghost Immortal Qi Counterattack.

He didn't tell his wife Li Tielan too much about the secrets of his body, because he was afraid that she would be afraid of him after she found out.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and was about to speak, when suddenly Nianci presided over a deep glance at the nameless short stick on his waist.

Said: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, Lao Ni can also guess the purpose of your journey here, in fact, if you want to find the senior you said, what you need is not endurance, but chance." Broken Dust Peak is eighty miles northeast of this place, now called the Desperate Peak, there used to be an ancient temple, as early as a thousand years ago has been deserted, the two of you will rest in the small nunnery tonight, tomorrow morning, Miao Zhen will take you to the Desperate Peak.
