The words say:

If you want to think about the way from the road, the evening breeze is strong, and the red dust dances. The setting sun is desolate and smoky. Far away from heaven and earth, morning bells and dusk drums, where is the place of refuge?

A few glasses of old wine will cross the people, and the catastrophe will be crossed to Shuangshu. Fall into the number of sampa heaven and earth. The young man's mind, in the white-headed dream, is a mistake in this life.

And Rong Cunfu said the gossip to express the sigh of the immortal, and continued to talk about the matter of the dervish monk at that time.

It is said that the dervish fell into the dust at that time, and after walking a short distance along the path, he heard the sound of an old goose chirping from the other side of the forest. The dervishes knew that there would be someone on the other side of the woods!

So the dervishes took three steps and two steps, and when he turned around the woods to look, there were indeed three or five families.

The dervishes didn't dare to make a mistake, thinking to himself, Li Daoyou said, in this world, there are many immortal cultivators, and I use my original appearance, low-key behavior, only as a fate, so I asked for directions and inquired about the news.

Thinking of this, the dervishes immediately straightened his clothes, holding a bowl in his left hand and a cane in his right hand.

The dervishes reined in his spiritual aura, came to the vicinity of these households, and when he first arrived at the door of a house, he recited: "Nan Wu Amitabha!

Unexpectedly, he asked three times in a row, but there was no movement, so the dervishes came to the door of the second house, recited Nanwu, and asked if there was a benefactor at home.

After a long time, an old man came out, opened the courtyard door, and said to the dervishes: "The master's accent is not from this place, the old man expects that you don't know the situation here, so I can't bear it, so I specially remind you!"

When the dervishes heard this, he wondered in his heart and recited in his mouth: "Amitabha!

The old man said: "We are here, every family, men, women and children all believe in Mingzong. It turned out that the relationship between Ming Buddhism and Zen Buddhism was good, but somehow, three or four hundred years ago, the two sects broke up, and the people of Zen Buddhism did not come to our side to resolve the relationship.

If so, the master must be a great monk! It's a pity that I can't just teach the little old man—"

Speaking of this, the old man gave a fist salute to the upper left void, and recited in his mouth: "Dao Mingzun!

After the old man praised the "Great Dao Mingzun", he said: "Master, why don't you go east, a hundred miles away, there is a city, called Linsha City."

Although Linsha City is where the power of Ming Sect is located, there is also a Zen branch in the city, which specializes in receiving Zen disciples who have wandered here but do not know the situation here. ”

When the dervishes heard this, he said in his heart, it turns out that this side is not a paradise, I don't know what the relationship will be between immortal cultivators?

Thinking of this, the dervishes thanked the old man and went eastward, and when he reached a place where there was no one, he had to go against the wind. At this moment, I heard a buzzing sound, and when I looked up, I saw a wind chasing spirit ship flying in the sky.

In this buzz, someone is making a song, and the voice is very tactful and listening, and the lyrics have a bleak meaning. I only heard her sing: "...... Joy of the Heart......"

Before the song was finished, a young man's voice interrupted it, saying:

"The second sister sings well, but who is the love expressed? My eldest brother is actually only dedicated to cultivation, and he has never missed you. According to me, second sister, it is better to marry someone you love than to find someone you love. I'm the second highest, Xiaosheng is so polite!"

"Let's go, second brother Gao, if you weren't so flamboyant, I would still be able to look at you squarely, you're like this......"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, and there seemed to be a mockery in the laughter.

The dervishes didn't care, but said in his heart, and when you pass, I will go away from the wind. Unexpectedly, the sound of ridicule was clearly heard in his ears, and in the midst of the laughter, a voice said:

"Look, that guy down there looks like a poor Zen ghost, he doesn't even have a spirit boat, and he's still in a hurry there!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard another boatload of laughter, clearly laughing at the poor ghost and a dervish monk! In the midst of the laughter, another voice said: "Where did this wild monk flee from?"

Although the dervish monk was poor and desperate and became a monk, in fact, where was he a guy who was willing to be bullied?

The dervish monk was angry at that time, and secretly said in his heart: Depending on who you are, you are the king of heaven, don't think about it today!

I saw the dervishes throwing the bowl in his hand into the air, and saw the bowl growing against the wind, and in the exclamation of the boat, he collected the wind-chasing spirit boat.

The dervish shouted, "Come the bowl!"

And he saw the bowl fly back, as it was before, and fell into the hand of the dervish.

The dervish took out the spirit from the bowl, and naturally put it into his own bag, but drove all the people on the boat down, and shouted:

"Yo, look at the few of you, it's just a second- or third-order cultivation of the True Dao, how dare you be so arrogant!

You're laughing at the old man and causing me a mental loss! The old man will take your spaceship to compensate for my mental loss - you all give the old man a fuck!"

There are four people on the boat here, two men and two women, all of whom are not very old, all of them are eighteen or nineteen to twenty-one or twelve years old, and they are clearly the children of rich families.

Speaking of which, these two men's real surname is Gao, and they are the second and third of the three brothers of the Gao family, called Gao Fuku and Gao Fushuai respectively, and they also have an elder brother named Gao Fujun, who is strange and tall, and is quite powerful;

The Gao family and the Bai family are both well-known big families in Linsha City. The Gao family brothers and Miss Bai were originally on the wind chasing spirit boat and went to the Wanlisha Desert to practice. But to be honest, the experience is also fake, and cultivating feelings is the real purpose of the two brothers of the Gao family.

When the two men and two women returned, they met the dervishes, and now they have been accepted into the wind chasing spirit boat, and their hearts are full of hatred. The two brothers of the Gao family both felt that they had lost face in front of the beauties, but they were helpless - they were not the opponents of the dervishes.

At that time, the two men and two women got out of the dervish on their own according to the request of the dervishes, but after getting out, they saw that the dervish monk had gone away against the wind and had entered Linsha City, so they changed from slandering the dervish monk to scolding:

"This poor monk dares to rob Lao Tzu's wind-chasing spirit boat, and when we return to the city, we will report to the master of the family, we must kill him to get out of this evil breath!"

The eldest lady of the Bai family also said: "Yes! Kill him! He dared to cause his aunt and grandmother to run back to the city on foot, and he lost his dead!"

The second lady of the Bai family didn't say anything, but said, "Sister, let's go." ”

These two men and two women rushed to Linsha City on foot, and they were resentful and cursed all the way.

And said that the dervishes entered the Linsha City against the wind, with a high view, after looking around, they found that there is a big square in the center of the Linsha City, the north of the square, the tall building, needless to say is the city lord's mansion.

On the right side of the Lord's Mansion, across the street, there is a building, facing the northwest corner of the square, and in the center of this building is a large hall. The dervishes can see clearly, this hall is the main hall in the Zen forest.

So the dervishes landed in shape, came to the square, and went to the temple of Linsha City. When I came to the front of the gate, I saw the book on the forehead of the door: Linsha Zen Temple.

The dervishes entered the Linsha Temple and came to see the presiding officer of the temple.

As soon as they entered the temple gate, two small Zen sects asked, "Amitabha!

When the dervishes heard him call himself "Senior Brother," he didn't really care, but said, "Amitabha!

The two little Zen sects listened, looked at each other, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The dervishes said, "Come and find your way." ”

Two little Zen sects said, "What is the way to go?"

The dervishes said: "Amitabha! Thousands of miles of the end of the world under your feet, the cane and the dervishes are empty. Empty and empty, silent and silent. Where to go when the mind is not confused, it will cross by itself, and there will be a way to come and a place to come. ”

When the two little Zen sects heard this, they thought about it and seemed to understand it, so they said, "This senior brother, please come with us." ”

It turns out that these two small Zen sects are both innate realm cultivation, but when the dervishes came, they suppressed their own breath and did not leak out at all, looking like an ordinary old monk, a mortal - therefore, the two little Zen sects were unwilling to be honored as dervishes.

The two little Zen sects led the dervishes into the room of the Zhike monk and said, "Uncle Qingyuan, there is a senior brother here. ”

The Qingyuan monk stood up, inquired at the dervishes, and asked, "Amitabha!

The dervish said, "Amitabha!"

Monk Qingyuan glanced at the dervishes and saw that he was an uncultivated monk, so he said: "Amitabha!

The dervishes said: "The old man's name is Mingchen. ”

So the Qingyuan monk took out a piece of jade, I don't know how it was made, like a square domino, the Qingyuan monk raised his hand, his middle finger dotted and crossed, and handed it to the dervishes: "Senior brother, take this piece of jade slip, and follow the cause and effect." ”

So the two little Zen sects before led the dervishes out and boarded a wind-chasing spirit ship.

The dervishes asked, "Amitabha, where is this going?"

The two little Zen sects said: "Amitabha! Since my senior brother is a disciple of my Zen Buddhism, how can he walk in the red dust without cultivation? If my Zen disciple does not cultivate, he should be sent to the Jingkong Temple of Jingkong Mountain to cultivate and learn some magic skills, so as not to be bullied by people from other sects."

Senior brother may not know, since my Zen sect broke with his Ming sect for three or four hundred years, there are often sect disciples who occasionally encounter each other's beatings, senior brother's age, if you meet a disciple of Mingzong, I am afraid that he will be beaten by him!"

When the dervishes heard this, he thought to himself: I thought that this world is full of immortal cultivators, and it should be like a paradise, but who knows that it is also so boring, and there are fights everywhere! Amitabha!

It turned out that the dervishes suppressed his breath, in the realm of cultivation, at first glance like an ordinary person, this cause and effect of the two small Zen sects and the guest monk Qingyuan thought that he was a mortal old monk, so he was going to send him to the Jingkong Mountain Jingkong Temple.

The dervishes, at this time, I understood the words of the two little Zen sects, and I thought in my heart, it turns out that I can learn some skills over there, but I am worried that I don't know anything about the world here, and I don't know what advanced cultivation methods are in the world here, so it's just right to go!

The Jingkong Mountain Jingkong Temple is really three thousand miles away from this Linsha City, but there is a wind chasing spirit boat, and it is only a few minutes away.

After the dervishes arrived with the two little Zen monks, the two little Zen monks led the dervishes and came to the gate of the Zen monastery, and said to the guardian monk at the door: "Two senior brothers, this is the senior brother Mingchen who we took in in Linsha City, he did not cultivate, and specially sent to the sect." ”

When the two guardian warrior monks heard this, they both said, "It's easy to say! You guys have worked hard over there in Linsha City!"

So the two little Zen sects said goodbye and drove back on the wind-chasing spirit boat. One of the two guardian monks said to the dervishes: "Please come with the poor monk." ”

So the dervish monk followed this man and entered the Zen Monastery of the Pure Sky Temple. After a short time, the two came to the temple in the hall of the Mahavira Temple, and saw an old monk, who was sitting on the side, holding the golden scriptures.

The guardian warrior monk said respectfully: "Abbot Master, Linsha City has sent a mortal old monk, whose Dharma name is Mingchen. ”

The abbot didn't raise his head, but said: "Since he is a mortal old monk, send him to the East Peak to meet your Uncle Qingxuan." ”

So there was a small Zen sect who led the dervishes out of the Jingkong Temple and came to the eastern peak. At the foot of the East Peak, there is a small town, which is also thriving. From the north of the town to the mountain, is the east peak, come to the halfway up the mountain, you see the Zen temple building complex, its main entrance on the book said: "Pure space Zen temple branch".

The dervishes followed this little Zen sect into the courtyard and came to see the presiding officer of this branch. Qingxuan didn't say anything, just glanced at Yu Jian and said, "Your name is Mingchen?"

The dervishes said "yes". At this point, the little Zen retreated. Qingxuan said: "Mingchen, you went to find Fan in the East Cross Courtyard and asked him to assign you a meditation room." ”

So the dervish monk came to the east cross courtyard and found Fan, and Fan divided the room for the dervish monk, and said:

"Mingchen, as a mortal old monk, here, you usually just sweep the floor and chant scriptures. Once every ten days, the Qingxuan host will teach you some cultivation knowledge, and you should study hard. Now we are Zen Buddhism, and we are embarrassed to go out if we don't cultivate immortals. ”

The dervishes said, "Why are you embarrassed?"

Lifan Dao: "Mingchen, we fell out with Mingzong, Mingzong is all immortal cultivators, and we Zen mortals, who have not cultivated, will be humiliated by them as soon as we meet people from Mingzong." This is what the poor monk said, 'I'm embarrassed to go out.'"

Also, at your age like you and me, here in the Pure Sky Monastery, those young immortal monks in this temple all jokingly call us the 'dementia group', if you hear it in the future, don't be angry. ”

The dervish said, "Amitabha! It's just that why do the young immortal cultivators of this sect call us the 'dementia group'?"

As mortal monks, we are old, and although we want to cultivate in this temple, it is difficult for us to achieve success, and if we want to enter the innate realm, it is extremely difficult to achieve this realm. In this pure space temple, many ordinary monks are housed, and they are divided into the elderly group, the middle-aged group and the juvenile group according to their age.

I don't know when the juvenile group began, they jokingly called the elderly group the dementia group, which probably means that we are senile on our side, right? The middle-aged group on the West Peak side is jokingly called the 'backward group', which means that they are middle-aged and backward in their cultivation. ”

When the dervishes heard this, he laughed and said, "Amitabha! I see, thank you Senior Brother Fan for your advice!"

So, when he went to do his own thing, the dervishes monk Mingchen was in his room preparing to meditate and practice.

As soon as the second day dawned, the dervish woke up leisurely, and when he was about to get up, the dervish felt that his connection with the bowl had suddenly weakened to a minimum, and he could no longer feel his bowl feeding back to him!

The dervish monk was secretly shocked in his heart, but at this time, the dervish got the information in the bowl, but it was Li Wenshan who said to the dervish monk:

"Mingchen Daoist, cultivating in your bowl has a wonderful effect! I have made great progress in cultivating in the past ten years, and my speed is extremely fast!"

When the dervish monk heard this, he was very surprised: "Li Daoyou, what do you mean 'more than ten years'? Since our boat was swallowed by that fish demon on the sea, it has only been thirteen or fourteen days now, where can there be more than ten years?"

At this moment, several messages came out of the bowl one after another, which were Liu Xiaobang'er and his wife and Cuigu's. It turned out that these three were like a dream, more than ten years had passed, and when they woke up at this time, they all talked to the dervishes.
