It's not that he can't talk to the friends around him, firstly, because he doesn't want to worry them, and secondly, because he is persuaded by others, it is inevitable that his subjective consciousness is too distinct, and it is really unfavorable for him to judge where to go. In this situation, it is better to listen to some Zen lectures to help him clear his mind. Seeing that the war was imminent, he left everyone behind, and at the same time secretly swore that this selfish act regardless of it would be the last time.

A few days later, Li Yijie finally arrived at the Shaolin Temple. The monk in front of the door stepped forward to greet him, and said: "Master Li Meng, how can you have time to come here today? Since you are coming, don't you say that you will send someone to send a letter?" Li Yijie also gave a salute and said: "The important place of Buddhism is to disturb the Qing cultivation of all the masters in Xia Lu Reckless, and he is already reluctant to go, how can he post a big post, but as if he is a big man who came to show off his might?"

The monk smiled and said, "Master Li is polite. Although Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist temple, in the world, it is still taught by the alliance, and if you have any orders, the poor monks should still obey them. But I don't know if the leader of the Li League came in person, what advice do you have?"

Li Yijie sighed, feeling that his trip was indeed a little reckless, but if this matter could not be resolved as soon as possible, it would be even more damaging to Wulin. In the end, it was still private thoughts that prevailed, and said: "There are some doubts about the Tao and the world, and I can't figure it out, so I have come to ask Master Tongzhi for guidance." Can you take me there?"

A monk with a difficult face hesitated: "This ...... It's not that the temple is pulling a shelf, it's just that the abbot is receiving a benefactor who has come from afar, and the two have been discussing in the Daxiong Treasure Hall for a long time, and the disciples who are guarding around have all been sent back. Li Meng mainly wants to visit the abbot, but I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while. ”

Li Yijie said curiously: "Can the abbot meet in person? It seems that that person is not small? I don't know who it is?" The monk said: "The poor monk doesn't know." We have no right to intervene in the affairs of Master Abbot, and we really can't stand Master Li. ”

Li Yijie said in his heart: "Even if I am the leader of the martial arts alliance, I should always pay attention to the first come, first come, first come when I see the abbot...... Otherwise, what is the difference between it and those secular officials who bully people?" Shen Shiyun's words couldn't help but come to mind: If you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, over time, your body and mind will be as corrupt as the people in the officialdom.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to drive those thoughts out of his mind, but now it seems that he is not trying to save people, but he is completely demonic. The group of monks shook their heads when they saw him, only to say that he was extremely dissatisfied with the proposal of the two, and after looking at each other, they apologized to him one after another.

Li Yijie came back to his senses and said busily: "No...... This matter has nothing to do with you. In that case, we and the masters are. The two of them were overjoyed and said, "Please ask Master Li to wait in the nunnery for the time being." ”

Li Yijie followed the two of them all the way, looking at the scenery of Shaolin Temple in his eyes, thinking that the catastrophe in the temple a year ago had finally passed, and the temple in front of him had regained its vitality. Just as plants and trees wither, there is vitality and decay, but all these are just inevitable trends in natural evolution. I am so persistent in resisting, what can I get back in the end, and what can I save?

Soon after, I heard a "squeak", and a red lacquer door opened in front of me, and a monk said, "This is it." Please wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "Let's go out and defend.

Li Yijie saw that this place could be said to be empty, with only a few futons in the corners. Heart said: "Shaolin Temple is the orthodoxy of Buddhism, Master Tongzhi is one of the best predecessors in the martial arts, it is said that Shaolin Temple does not entertain foreign guests, if it is not a real figure, the abbot will not meet in person...... What is that mysterious guest?"

Looking at the low window on the other side, a person who doesn't know martial arts can easily jump out of the window. If you go from this, you can go outside the Mahavira Hall to see the situation, or you can make it. But after thinking about it, Master Tongzhi's cultivation of the "Yijin Sutra" is quite effective, which is the deepest internal strength, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not notice the movement of the side compartment. And if you are too focused when peeking and let the disciples passing by see it, it is not good, he is the majesty of the alliance leader, and he will not want to establish it in the future.

With a sigh, he had to suppress his curiosity and sit cross-legged on the futon. Unexpectedly, this time there were a thousand things in his mind, and he came to entangle him again. Li Yijie had no choice but to calm his mind, try his best to make the spiritual platform empty, and practice according to the mental method he has learned recently.

After a while, Li Yijie felt that there was a vigorous internal force surging all over his body, and he was warm and warm, which was very useful. Traces of white smoke came out of the top of his head, and at the same time, after repeated operation, it seemed that his internal cultivation had risen several levels. At this time, I finally realized why he was able to indulge in practice all day long, not necessarily because of his preference for practice, but because when he was practicing, he was able to eliminate all the distracting thoughts in his mind and no longer be troubled by boring thoughts.

There are too many troubles in life, and you have to wait for yourself to have enough strength before you can make decisions about your own destiny. While practicing with all my might, I thought that I was one step closer to realizing my dream, but it was a more effective way to vent than drinking.

However, not long after practicing, Li Yijie's thoughts were like a wild imagination, and a question suddenly flashed: "But if there are some troubles, it is to spend your whole life, no matter how powerful you are, you can't achieve it after all, but what?"

It's like the master has been diligent in martial arts training all his life, just to defeat Zasaktu and save Chu Anlin. But his desire to win may be promising, but he and Chu Anlin are always separated forever, and for the endless years after that, they can only live in remembrance and pain. In life, what we are pursuing is nothing but a void, so what is the point of practicing diligently?

Thinking about the pain in my heart, my power dissipated, and suddenly I returned to the world in front of me from the realm of forgetting things and self a moment ago, and in front of me was still a dilapidated nunnery, and the uncleaned ground was full of dust.

At the moment of the junction of the virtual and the real, Li Yijie suddenly heard a strange sound outside the room, which seemed to be a very low footsteps. But when he used his internal strength, he could only hear the sound for a flash, and it was difficult to determine whether it was really true, or was it just a momentary hallucination?

Laughing at his suspicions, and then in-depth analysis, it is said that no one will dare to go to the Shaolin Temple to spread wild, but at this time the rivers and lakes are in an eventful autumn, there is no real place to live, how to calculate the shocking changes a year ago? Maybe someone covets the collection in the Shaolin Temple, come to peep? Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, anyway, there is nothing to do, go out to see it, so you can rest assured, and it is not a loss for yourself.

When I got out of the nunnery, I saw the two guarded monks fall to the ground at first sight, without the slightest scar on their bodies, but their faces were round, as if they had seen something very terrifying, and they were scared to death. Li Yijie followed their line of sight, but it was just a few ordinary temples. sighed, stretched out his hand to close their eyes, suddenly his heart shook, and he whispered: "Master Tongzhi!" jumped up in shock, and couldn't care about burying the two monks, so he went to find the Daxiong Treasure Hall first.

He didn't know the path in the temple, so he had to rely on his consciousness to rush and collide, and at the same time he used his internal strength, and his ear power increased several times. I heard that there was still no sound in the temple. The quiet place of Buddhism should not be as noisy as the world, but the silence at this time made him have a dead silence ominous, as if everything that was alive had disappeared out of thin air. This premonition became stronger and stronger, and when I looked around, I still decided to take the main road.

After the owner of Xia Zhuang separated from Li Yijie and others, he wandered alone for a long time, trying to clarify his thoughts, but he tried to think hard to no avail. In the end, I thought that the Shaolin Temple in Songshan was a holy place that was passed down from mouth to mouth, or could solve problems for myself, so I asked for the path and came in a hurry. After paying homage to the famous post, Master Tongzhi immediately invited him in. The two of them are in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, each sitting opposite each other on two futons, and on the side is the golden body of the towering Buddha statue, the Dharma Appearance*, which makes people feel calm.

Tongzhi pronounced a Buddha horn and said: "In addition to Xia Jushi's prescription for a long time, he can also be called a quiet and scattered person. Hearing that the four major families were destroyed unexpectedly, Lao Wei deeply regretted it...... "The owner of Xia Zhuang waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's it, I have already had the heart to break the ancestral teachings, travel to the world, and make great achievements." The destruction of the confinement of the four Raushs happened to be an opportunity, and there is no regret about it. ”

Tongzhi said: "In fact, being born is also entering the WTO, and entering the WTO is also being born, all of which are determined by the will of each person." If the mind is in a quagmire, then everywhere is a quagmire. If your heart is in the clear spring, even if you are in the swamp, you can see the clarity of the world...... "The owner of Xia Zhuang waved his hand and said: "You don't want to fight with me. Master Abbot, I heard that you are well versed in Zen and can help people clear their obstacles, is it really as effective as the legend?"

Tongzhi said: "Amitabha, Xia Jushi is too elevated. How many accomplished people in the Buddhist family dare not say that they are 'well versed in Zen Taoism'. There is a Tao that is 'the Dharma is boundless', which is the true meaning of this. My senior brother has been in retreat for many years, but he still doesn't dare to say a word about studying Buddhism, and the elder brother of Lao Gon is even more shallow, like a hairy ...... in nine cows."

Lord Xia Zhuang said: "Enough, I'm not here to listen to the abbot's self-humility." Now I have a problem on my mind, no matter which side I choose, it is not a good solution...... I just want to ask the abbot, what is the case? You are well-informed, and you will be able to help me solve my doubts. Tongzhi said: "If Xia Jushi has any doubts, you might as well talk about it." Of course, Lao Wei didn't dare to pack the ticket, but he just did his best. ”

The owner of Xia Zhuang said angrily: "It's really troublesome, and I don't want to be refreshed if I help, cough cough ......" and caught Ping Ruoyu in the secret passage, and then met Shen Shiyun, cooperated according to his words, and talked about all kinds of changes on the volcano one by one. And again, "I have always believed in myself and have not been willing to be favored. But Li Mengzhu ...... He saved my life, and I haven't been able to repay him. Now that a few of them are gathering forces and preparing to fight the Seven Demon Bosses, I don't know if I should join his camp. But on the other hand, I promised Concubine Yun to cooperate with her and help her seize power, and even received the benefits. If he repents halfway, he is a treacherous villain...... You know that a famous martial arts person like us, no matter how bad he acts, his credit is still indispensable. It's really a dilemma, I don't know what to do......"

Tong Zhi looked at him and smiled faintly, and the owner of Xia Zhuang said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Lord Xia Zhuang said angrily: "Isn't this a trick to trick people? If I knew what I thought, I would still need to go all the way to ask you for advice?"

Tongzhi said: "Xia Jushi must not be annoyed. Your mind is blinded by immediate interests. Suppose you stay out of the situation, which side would you prefer to see victory? Which side will do what you agree with? Now it means that you have received the favor of both parties at the same time, and you have offset each other, and you do not owe each other, and you can still do what you want. The doctrine of favor should not be arbitrarily judged by order. Xia Zhuang said: "But ...... I personally promised Concubine Yun ......"

Tong Zhi said: "Will everyone who promises you be able to keep their promises in the end? According to the development of the situation, it is really wise to change the initial plan that is not in line with the overall situation. If you stick to it, you can take advantage of it, and it is not a promise, but a foolishness. Now that you have been involved in the game, you do not want to blindly escape, but seek countermeasures, hoping to solve the matter satisfactorily, which shows that you are still a very responsible person and quite chivalrous. ”

The owner of Xia Zhuang said impatiently: "I don't want to be a chivalrous man, I just want to know which side is the right one." ”
