Chapter 156: Essence Light and Cold Water Zhanzhan Flows
"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart!" The gray-robed monk glanced at the wine and food on his table, and sighed: "The old man can only drink, and it was more than 20 years ago!" Wasn't you a monk twenty years ago?"
The gray-robed monk seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled indifferently: "When Lao Qu was a monk, he didn't quit drinking and meat, and it was still the Buddhist canon Luan Hall offered by the royal family. But then my Ming Dynasty fortunes are declining day by day, natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly coming, looking at the Central Plains, starving in the wilderness, the poor monk's mouth chewing is the flesh and blood of my Ming people, so I naturally quit! Those royal children also saw that I was no longer pleasing to the eye, so they simply sent me out! But the old man fell at ease, and the idle clouds and wild cranes and moons were long. Fluttershy hears that he quit drinking because of the national disaster, and her respect soars. While the two were talking, they heard the drums outside the cabin, and the ship fluttered and finally set sail.
The gray-robed monk glanced at the wine jug on the table again, and said, "Wine hurts the body, so it's better to drink less!" Insect Fluttershy was sad in her heart, but she raised her head and drank another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Life is in the world, there is more suffering and less happiness, and there is still a strong taste in drunkenness!" The gray-robed monk suddenly laughed and said, "How many people are drunk in the world, how many people are drunk in Buddhism, how can you not be confused or drunk?" Insect Fluttershy couldn't help but look up at him and look at him with a shock. The eyes were as clear and deep as a secluded ancient pool, and two streams of light flowed like cold water under the eyelids. Fluttershy's brain thumped, and the alcohol died down, and for a moment she felt herself step into an indescribable state of nothingness.
This feeling was vague when he saw the crystal sarcophagus in the Nine Dragons Escape Heaven Valley, but the nothingness at that time was accompanied by the fear and emptiness of life and death like a dream, and at this time, he felt that everything he saw in his eyes was ethereal and thorough, as if he had stepped into the chaos of the universe at the beginning of the opening of the universe in an instant, and his heart was as pure as a dusty mirror, only to feel that all the qiē in the world was just an image in the mirror, just a natural appearance. But he no longer climbs nostalgically.
The gray-robed monk tapped the cabin with his slender five fingers, and a pleasant sound came out. "簌簌", "簌簌", like nature. Fluttershy felt a shock, and that ethereal and wonderful feeling was like mercury flowing, fading away, but her heart was pure and bright, and she couldn't help but say, "Master...... Is this the so-called Ten Thousand Buddhas' Gate - 'Zen Mind'?" The gray-clothed monk still stared at him deeply, and suddenly said, "You haven't answered my words yet!"
"How do you not get drunk?" Fluttershy wonders. The gray-clothed monk retracted his gaze, raised his hand to push open the window, raised his eyes to look at the river, and said leisurely: "Look at this river!" Fluttershy raised her eyes, but saw the waves of the river surging and rolling eastward, and the distant mountain peaks were covered in green and melted as if drunk, slowly retreating in the sound of the howling waves. The gray-robed monk's fingers tapped lightly on the side of the ship. The sound of the rattle is like the sound of the piano or low and tactful, or high and clear, faintly corresponding to the sound of the waves of the river, forming a strange rhythm. Fluttershy hears the rhyme. Looking at the river, I only felt that my heart was shaking, and I realized something.
sank, and the gray-clothed monk groaned: "Dajiangdong goes to the waves." Romantic characters through the ages. The meaning of Su Dongpo's words could not be clearer......" In an instant, Fluttershy suddenly had a sense of change. I only feel that the world is changing, I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, only the great river that is not easy through the ages, it is still surging east.
When he turned his head to look, he saw that the gray-clothed monk had turned around and strode to the back of the cabin, and his clothes fell down, closing his eyes and recuperating. No matter how much he called, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, but after a while, he snored and fell asleep.
Fluttershy has met so many strange people in her life, but from a figure like the gray-clothed monk, listening to his rough breathing, it is clear that he does not know martial arts, but his demeanor is superb, and it is really magical and mysterious. Fluttershy secretly chews on the last few words he says, and feels like chewing an olive.
Jiang Shang was speechless, and until the night, the monk was still bedridden. Fluttershy hears someone in the night boat whispering trivial matters in the dialect of Shannanhaibei, and gradually feels that her eyelids are sinking and she falls into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, I suddenly heard someone laughing: "'Red Jiao Niang', it's 'Hong Jiao Niang'! Lao Tzu is going to feast on it this time!" But someone is casting his net to catch fish. The man's voice was rough, and everyone in the cabin was full of ears, and many people rushed out to see the excitement.
Fluttershy yawns and walks out of the pod. But I saw that the fisherman was a red-faced traveler with big ears. The man was dressed as a fisherman, and his stiff arms were holding a large net, and a big red fish more than three feet long rushed left and right in the net, making a splash and shooting in all directions. The net had opened a hole for the big fish, and it was about to break through the net.
"What a big 'red lady'!" four or five passengers and two sailors all gathered around and shouted and cheered. An old sailor shouted, "I'm afraid this net can't stop it, don't be in a hurry to collect it, first boil its sex!" The red-faced fisherman nodded again and again, staring at the big red fish with burning eyes, and shaking and breaking the net again and again as the big fish went. Fluttershy knew that this 'Red Lady' was very rare, and saw that this big man was ingenious, and he was obviously equipped with superior martial arts, so she couldn't help but watch intently.
In the midst of the noise, a sigh was heard slowly: "All the ingenuity of man is used to deal with a fish! Net fishing and hunting is really the most useless and boring thing in the world!" The voice of compassion made Fluttershy's heart tremble, and suddenly she felt a lot of pity for the 'Red Lady' who was struggling to survive in the broken net.
The red-faced fisherman was also shocked, and only after a moment of hesitation, the big fish leaped hard and suddenly came out of the hole in the net. Everyone sighed, but they saw that it was the gray-robed monk with a dark face who sighed. Only then did the big man come back to his senses, and when he remembered the delicious taste in his mouth, he slipped away, and a wave of anger was sprinkled on this monk, pointing at the gray-robed monk and scolding.
The gray-robed monk was not annoyed, and said with a faint smile: "The world is stupid, sometimes as pitiful as that fish, but unfortunately I don't know it." The boatswain of the red-faced fisherman's oars shouted in a panicked voice. Everyone looked up and couldn't help shouting in unison, only to see a huge river boat chopping the river and cutting the waves, rushing straight towards this footing boat. The mast of this big river ship is two or three feet high, and several large sails are open in the wind, so down the river, it is really like a galloping horse.
Seeing that the distance between the two ships was only more than ten zhang, the helmsman of the small boat desperately turned the rudder and twisted the sails to avoid the big ship. But the river boat also turned with it, and the bow of the boat was always facing the head of the boat, and it slammed straight into it violently. The passengers and sailors on the ship's feet shouted and cursed one after another. The white light flickered on the big ship, and more than a dozen shirtless men held knives and guns, looking down condescendingly, with a strange smile in their mouths. Fluttershy is shocked and angry, if the two ships collide, her ship will inevitably be shipwrecked, even if her martial arts skills are high, how many people can she save?
In an instant, the big river boat had rushed in front of him. The waves of the river boat were engulfed, and the head boat shook violently like fallen leaves in a whirlpool. Everyone couldn't stand on their feet, they staggered, and the sound of crying and scolding tore people's hearts. Suddenly, the gray shadow fan, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and the gray-robed monk was already standing on the bow of the boat, and he didn't know when there was a long penny in his hand, and he poked it straight towards the big river boat. "He obviously doesn't know martial arts, how can he be so fast?" Insect Fluttershy's heart sank, only to see that the penny was two feet long, but the details were only like a child's arm, which was the ordinary bamboo pole idle on the ship, "He is a martial arts master, and poking the penny like this is probably just a mantis arm as a car." ”
In a flash of thought, the gray-robed monk's penny had been poked on the river boat like a dragon going out to sea. There was a rumbling sound, like a huge drum being pounded with a heavy hammer. The raging waves rushed like a hill, smashing the men in the bow of the ship to the ground. Amid the shouts of the crowd, the big river boat turned violently, and it was already whistling past the side of the ship.
The river waves are undulating, the two boats pass by, and the big river boat is drifting along the waves, and it is more than ten zhang away in an instant. At this time, everyone was frightened, turned their heads to look around, and when they looked for the gray-robed monk again, there was no trace of them.
Fluttershy was shocked: "This gray-robed monk is back to basics, is he actually a top master?" Looking around, I only saw the turbid green river surging eastward, and the big river boat had already gone far.
At this time, everyone knew that they had escaped from death, and when they talked about the gray-robed monk, they couldn't help but be suspicious of the gods, some said that it was the Arhat who appeared, and some said that it was the manifestation of Maitreya Buddha. The boss of the boat had weak knees, prostrate on the bow of the boat, looked at the river and kowtowed, and muttered: "Living Buddha, our ancestors have accumulated virtue, and today I met the Bodhisattva!" Tears flowed in his eyes.
A few sailors talked about the big men on the big river, and they all felt strange. The boss of the boat suddenly said in shock: "Canglang Pavilion, isn't it the grandfather of Canglang Pavilion...... "At that moment, he even called the evil sect, and somehow offended one of the several overlords on this big river. At this time, the passenger ship was about to arrive at Qishan, and the captain of the boat had palpitations, but he did not dare to move forward, so he wanted to drive everyone off the ship.
Fluttershy heard the name of the Canglang Pavilion, and her mind flashed, "Could it be that they are coming for me? I don't know how I showed my traces, and how did I offend them Canglang Pavilion?"
Seeing that it was still early, Fluttershy was unsure if she would take another waterway when she saw a figure in the distance, and when she squinted, it was the red-faced fisherman with the same martial arts skills as before. "Could it be that this guy saw through me?" Fluttershy didn't make much effort when she knew that she was disguised, and she couldn't hide it from the real connoisseur. He sneered in his heart, and he didn't break the red-faced man's behavior, so he simply washed off the pigment and flour on his face with river water, returned to his original appearance, and swaggered along the river alone.
