Chapter Seven: The Dragon Returns to Heaven to Learn the Art of Apprenticeship (2)
Long Huitian glanced at Min'er and said: Min'er, I should be happy that I passed the first level! Why are you crying?
After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe the tears on Min'er's face, in fact, he didn't shed tears himself, but the tears were frozen into ice and couldn't be seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But after raising his hand for a long time, he couldn't raise his hand, looked at Min'er and said with a wry smile: My hand is frozen, Min'er was extremely sad when she heard Brother Long say this, but in order not to let Long Huitian find out, she reluctantly smiled at Long Huitian and said: It's okay, I'll come by myself! wiped the tears with his hand, and stretched out his hand to help Long Huitian get up.
But the two of them worked hard for a long time, and Long Huitian couldn't stand up, let alone stand up, and he couldn't straighten his legs.
Long Huitian thought to himself, how can a manly man not be able to withstand a little test, making people laugh, and as soon as he is stubborn, he will forcibly straighten his legs.
Seeing this, Tie Longyun scolded: Do you want to harm yourself? If you forcibly stretch your legs now, your legs will be wasted, I don't want to accept a waste person as an apprentice, he snorted heavily, extremely angry, he doesn't like people who are capable of being strong, and Long Huitian's move made him extremely dissatisfied.
When Long Huitian heard Tie Longyun say this, he was shocked and cautiously asked: "Then what should I do, I can't sit here all the time!
Tie Longyun didn't say a word, came over and picked up the dragon back to the sky, and said to his granddaughter Min'er who was in a daze: What are you still stunned about, go down the mountain!
Min'er was relieved, hurriedly walked to her grandfather, and followed her grandfather's footsteps down the mountain.
After a while, the three of them entered the cave, Tie Longyun still had no intention of putting Long Huitian down, but kept walking to the depths of the cave, Long Huitian didn't understand, and Min'er didn't understand what Grandpa was going to do?
Before Long Huitian could speak, Min'er asked her grandfather in surprise: Grandpa, where are you going to take Brother Long to?
Tie Longyun didn't say a word, he kept holding Long Huitian and walked in, Long Huitian felt that the more he walked in, the warmer it became, he was afraid that Tie Longyun would be tired, and he was still embarrassed!
Tie Longyun was still silent, and the two of them didn't have the intention to ask any more, and after a while, the three of them came to a relatively flat open space and put down Long Huitian.
Min'er saw that you put the dragon back to the sky and put it on the ground, looked around, and suddenly said, "Grandpa, are you going to put Brother Long in the hot spring?"
Tie Longyun said with a smile: It's okay, it's not too stupid!
It turns out that there is a hot spring formed by geothermal heat in this place, the mouth of the spring is the size of a grinding plate, and there is a trace of heat in it, it seems that the temperature is not low, and it is the place where grandpa and Min'er take a bath.
At this time, Long Huitian also understood his grandfather's intentions, and his heart was warm, I still have someone who hurts, hehe!
Tie Longyun put Long Huitian into the hot spring and said: You soak here for two hours is of great help to your physique, turned to Min'er and said: Girl, what are you still doing here?
Don't go cooking yet?
You want to starve grandpa to death!
Long Huitian soaked in the water has an indescribable comfort, feeling itchy bones all over the body, thinking of grandpa's good intentions, he didn't care about the itchy feeling, in fact, before Tie Longyun went up the mountain, he added some medicinal soup to the water to help Long Huitian enhance his physique, but he didn't tell them, you must know that Tie Longyun is not only strong in martial arts, but also a must in medical skills, which can regulate people's physique!
After dinner, the three of them went to bed.
The next day, Long Huitian woke up early, ready to accept the second level test, after all, the thought of learning martial arts, there was still a little sleep.
When he came to the place where his grandfather lived, he saw that Tie Longyun was already waiting for him early, his face was red, and he said secretly: I am ashamed, I called grandpa, and asked: Grandpa, I am ready, what is the second test?
Tie Longyun said: The second level tests your understanding.
I have prepared a Buddhist scripture here, you must know that your ancestor, that is, my master Huo Yan Venerable, is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, and my martial arts are all related to the Buddha's way, so I want to test your understanding of the Buddha's way and the interpretation of Zen.
You don't have to worry, just translate this sutra according to your wishes, and I will make up my mind! After that, I handed over the Buddha to Long Huitian! I turned around and went back to my room.
Long Huitian took it and looked at it, the book cover was written "Excerpts from the Yuanjue Sutra" Long Huitian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had read the "Four Books and Five Classics" I don't know how many times, it can be said that the melon is ripe, but I haven't read the Buddhist scriptures, what should I do?
I just thought about it, take it back to where I slept and study it slowly, it's up to people!
When he returned to his residence, Long Huitian opened the Buddhist scriptures, only to see this scripture written on a yellowed piece of paper: "Then the World-Honored One said to Manjushri Bodhisattva: Good and good, good man, you are able to consult all Bodhisattvas, consult the Dharma for the cause of the earth, and seek Mahayana for all sentient beings in the last days, to be the abbot, not to fall into evil views, and you should listen to it today, and you should speak for you." When Manjushri rejoiced in his teachings, the crowd listened silently.
A good man, the supreme Dharma King, has a great dharani gate, called Yuanjue, who flows out of all pure and true beings, Bodhi Nirvana and Paramita, teaches the Bodhisattva, and everything is based on the pure consciousness of the Yuanzhao, and the ignorance is forever broken, and the Buddha is enlightened. Long Huitian gathered his mind, and began to translate this excerpt from the Yuanjue Sutra according to his own understanding, and he didn't know that after a few days and nights, Min didn't appear in Long Huitian's field of vision except for delivering food, for fear of disturbing Long Huitian to complete the test and deliberately avoided it!
After writing the last two words of the translation, he took a deep breath, folded the translation and got up, and felt that it was inappropriate, and opened it again and read it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he folded it up again and came to Tie Longyun's residence, and he was worried in his heart!
At this moment, Tie Longyun happened to return from collecting medicine, and when he saw Long Huitian standing stupidly outside his door, he smiled and said: Finished translating?
Long Huitian stammered back: Yes..... Yes! As he spoke, he handed the translation to Tie Longyun, who put down the basket of collecting medicine, found a place to sit, opened the translation and read it on the spot, Long Huitian stared at Tie Longyun's face, trying to judge whether his translation was correct from Tie Longyun's expression! But after reading it for a long time, he couldn't see any change in Tie Longyun's expression, so he had no choice but to give up with a worried heart.
Tie Longyun opened the translation and saw the translation as follows: "After Manjushri finished the Buddha's prayer, the Buddha opened his mouth and said to him: "Good, good, good, good man, you can consult all the bodhisattvas about the Dharma for the cause and place of practice, and beg for the Mahayana path for all sentient beings in the last days to come, so that they can attain the path of Dharma practice, without troubles, without mistakes, and without falling into incorrect views." Now, then, listen carefully, and I will speak to you about this fundamental Fa.
Manjushri was filled with joy when he heard that the Buddha was about to speak the Dharma himself, and felt that he could receive the Buddha's teachings by flattery. The 100,000 people attending the meeting suddenly fell silent and began to listen to the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha said, "Good men, the Supreme Dharma King has the Great Dharani Gate, and its name is Yuanjue. It can flow out all the pure Buddha-nature and Buddha-becoming consciousness of untainted, unaltered, and emptiness, and it can also flow out the wisdom of nirvana and the fundamental method from birth and death to nirvana, paramita, and teach the practitioners who receive the bodhisattva actions accordingly. The original cause of all the things that come to be, that is, the initial state of enlightenment that arises from the future, all depend on the state of pure enlightenment that is fully illuminated, and this is the way to eternal elimination of ignorance and thus attainment of Buddhahood. 》
Slowly, the expression on Tie Longyun's face changed, and the expression on his face became more and more happy and excited as the translation went down, Long Huitian looked at the expression on Tie Longyun's face, and his nervous heart finally eased slightly.
I saw Tie Longyun close the translation, laughed and said: Unexpected, really unexpected! You are an ordinary man who can translate this scripture into this way, his expression is excited, and he wants to cry, Min'er jumped when he heard his grandfather's laughter, and ran to his grandfather as if he was flying, and when he saw his grandfather laughing and crying, he asked in surprise: Grandpa, what's wrong with you?
Tie Longyun calmed down his excitement and said to his granddaughter Min'er: Min'er, do you know why grandpa hasn't accepted apprentices for decades?
Min'er said: Yes, Grandpa, I wanted to ask this question for a long time, but I was afraid to mention Grandpa's sadness, so I didn't ask! Can you tell me now?
Of course, Tie Longyun said: Now that you are sixteen years old, you are also an adult, and I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would not understand.
Okay! Today, I'm going to tell you about Grandpa's martial arts and what Grandpa does! These things have been hidden in Grandpa's heart for many years, and you both sit down with me.
I only heard Tie Longyun say slowly: Grandpa is an orphan, blessed by God, adopted by the Huoyan Master since childhood, and adopted as a disciple, living in the fire cave of Huoyan Island in the East China Sea, your ancestor turned out to be a wandering monk, by chance, got a martial arts secret record "Tiandaolu" which recorded profound martial arts and Qihuang techniques, and returned to the East China Sea Huoyan Island with the secret, and founded the Huolongmen, a righteous organization, as the first master, in charge of the injustices in the rivers and lakes, saving the dead and helping the wounded.
Master Huo Yan Master has a total of five apprentices, because I have lived with Master since I was a child, I am also the first entry, is the big disciple of the Fire Dragon Gate, the true transmission of the master's martial arts and medical skills, the other four junior sisters, because of the late entry, are: the second disciple Liu Zhende Master Dragon Shape Body Method, the third disciple: Mo Xiongde Master Dragon Shape Eighteen Style Palm Method, the fourth disciple Mu Zhende Master Dragon Eighteen Style Swordsmanship True Transmission, the fifth sister Rong Ruo Master Medical Skills and Light Gong True Transmission, when the Master was dying, let me be the second Dragon Gate Master.
Helpless, grandpa, I am a dissolute person, I really don't want to accept the master's trust, but I don't want to hurt the master's heart, so I reluctantly do it, and then I fell in love with the little sister Rongruo and became a husband and wife, and gave birth to a baby girl the next year, named Tie Rui, that is, your mother, twenty years later, your mother got married, and you were born the next year, because the third junior brother Mo Xiong has long been secretly in love with your grandmother, has always held a grudge against me, suffering from jealousy of my martial arts, and has been forbearing, until your origin.
One day, I took you out to the sea to play, and when I came back, I found that the whole family had been poisoned by the third junior brother Mo Xiong, I held the three-year-old you in my arms and wanted to cry without tears, and swore to punish the thief, buried the whole family, and embarked on the journey of chasing and killing the thief.
The sky is pitiful, and finally found this thief on the top of Beimin Mountain, with a big battle, this thief was beaten to the bottom of Beimin Valley, and when he was disheartened, he took you to the far shield mountain forest.
After Tie Longyun finished this tragic story, he was already in tears, and his granddaughter Min'er was also in tears, gritting her teeth and saying: Killing him like this is really cheap for this thief.
Long Huitian was also in tears after hearing this, and he couldn't stop crying, Tie Longyun saw that the two dolls he provoked were in tears, so he didn't feel distressed, thinking that the past had passed, this revenge had been avenged, and he could also comfort Min'er's dead father, there was no need to continue to be sad, so he wiped away his tears and said: Okay, don't cry, I have something to say.
Stared at Long Huitian and said: From the tests of the first and second levels, it can be seen that your understanding and endurance are enough to inherit my martial arts.
From today onwards, I will officially accept you as a disciple, you come with me, go and worship your ancestor, that is, my master, and then worship the teacher!
Long Huitian was happy to hear Tie Longyun say this, and asked stupidly: Master!
Tie Longyun said with a smile: First of all, I can't be regarded as your master before you have the gift of apprenticeship, you still call me grandpa! Secondly, I originally wanted to test your character in the third level, but when you and Min'er met that day, I had already secretly observed, and it was over, and it was no better than testing it again!
Long Huitian almost jumped up with joy when he heard this, and said: It's grandpa!
Min'er was also happy for Long Huitian, looked at Long Huitian and said: Brother Long, congratulations!
Then the three of them came to Tie Longyun's study, and saw a monk holding a wooden fish hanging in the main hall, sitting solemnly, like the rebirth of the Buddha, Tie Longyun knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and said: Disciple Longyun told the master, the disciple adheres to the master's teachings, and in order to glorify my fire dragon sect, he decided to accept the dragon back to the sky as a disciple in the room, and hope that the master will bless him, so he kowtow and get up.
Signaled Long Huitian to kneel down and kowtow to incense, Long Huitian finished the incense, knelt down in front of Tie Longyun, and bowed to the teacher.
Tie Longyun helped Long Huitian and said: Tian'er from today, you and I will be commensurate with master and apprentice, you have to stay on the mountain for more than ten years, at least five years to concentrate on martial arts, as soon as possible, inherit the will of the master, you go down the mountain today, say that your father knows.
Long Huitian replied respectfully: Yes! Master!
At this time, Min'er said: Brother Long, what do you call my grandfather?
Long Huitian was stunned by Min'er's sudden question, and said stupidly: Master, isn't it right?
Of course it's not right! Min'er said angrily:
Tie Longyun was also stunned, and said in a questioning tone: "Girl, what's wrong, why don't I know!" After speaking, he stared at Min'er's angry little face.
Min Er said loudly: If Brother Long calls Grandpa to be your master, wouldn't you be a generation older than me and become my uncle?
Long Yun looked at his granddaughter's expression, laughed and said, "Silly girl, you have a lot of ghost thoughts, so according to you, don't call the master what is it!
You can call you grandpa like me! Min'er said, and then looked at grandpa, only to see grandpa also looking at herself, I don't know if it's okay, this time Min'er is in a hurry, and dragged grandpa coquettishly and said: Okay!
Tie Longyun smiled and asked: Can I still say no, in your hands? If you say no, I guess it would be strange if this beard of mine was not plucked out by you!
After that, he ignored Min'er and said to Long Huitian: Okay, you can call me grandpa like Min'er!
At first, Long Huitian was also a little happy, he liked Min'er in his heart, he was a generation older than Min'er, not to mention Min'er, he couldn't accept it, he wanted to talk to Tie Longyun, but he didn't know how to speak!
At this time, I heard my grandfather say this, I was overjoyed, and said: Great, grandpa, and then glanced at Min'er with slanted eyes, at this time Min'er also happened to look over, the two of them looked at each other, and blushed involuntarily, and lowered their heads at the same time, but their hearts were sweet, Long Yun saw the appearance of the two of them, tacitly, haha smiled and said: The two little ghosts have really grown up, and they really like the little doll of Long Huitian in their hearts.
In this way, the cold and summer come and go, in a blink of an eye, it is five years, in the past five years, Long Huitian has been practicing martial arts in the morning and in the dark, coupled with Tie Longyun's personal feeding and guidance, the progress can be described as a thousand miles in a day, and Long Huitian is twenty-one years old five years later, from the original ignorant teenager to the current steady and mature, witty and brave young man.
Min'er has also changed from an innocent and unrestrained girl to a slim and generous beauty now, the only thing that remains unchanged is the cold climate on the mountain, and Tie Longyun's face is also full of wrinkles, which is becoming more and more vicissitudes.
In the past five years, the two little ghosts have gotten along day and night, their relationship has deepened, they have fallen in love with each other, and they have already made a private decision for life, and Tie Longyun has also acquiesced.
This is not on the edge of the cliff only to see a figure shuttle back and forth, only to see the figure without seeing people, the sword qi is pervasive, with the sword qi crossing, the big stones and trees, then shattered, the grass and trees are broken from the roots, and when the dust dissipates, there is a handsome and extraordinary young man, who is this person?
Don't say it, you also know that this person is Long Huitian, who has been studying art for five years in Meili Snow Mountain, Long Huitian practiced the martial arts he learned from beginning to end, took a deep breath, returned the qi to the source, returned the sword to the sheath, and prepared to go back to Minji.
At this time, the voice of Grandpa Tie Longyun came from behind him, and said: Well, yes, I have taught you all my martial arts so far, and now what you lack is experience against the enemy, this is not to be taught, you have to understand it yourself!
Tomorrow you can go down the mountain to practice, listening to grandpa say this, Long Huitian doesn't know whether he is happy or sad, happy that he has been out of the mountain to practice, sad is to leave this familiar environment, and his heart is a little reluctant.
