116 times, the wind shakes the bamboo shadow and clears the snow, and the cup pours the clear spring into tea

Qingfeng's face was ugly, looking up at the sky with doubts, as if he was waiting for something, waiting for a long time above the clear sky and no movement. He looked down at the ground again, suddenly stomped his foot, and shouted: "Mountain god, appear!"

Mei Zhenyi in the valley in the distance felt the divine power of this stomping, and the grass and leaves all over the mountain did not move, but the earth qi spirit body trembled, as if the whole mountain trembled.

Lu Xue's figure appeared in front of Qingfeng, her expression was a little panicked, and she bowed her head and saluted: "Xiantong, I really don't know about today's events!"

Qingfeng looked at her, and was about to speak, when someone behind her applauded and laughed: "Okay, Luxue has really become a mountain god!" It turned out to be Mingyue's voice, she also came to the top of the mountain at some point, and followed Mingyue to probe her brain.

There was a kind of coercive power in Qingfeng's eyes, stepping on the Jing Pavilion, the aura of the mountain spirit pivot flickered, and Lu Xue's body was also trembling. Hearing Mingyue speak, he moved his steps and let out a long breath, and his expression softened: "Little tree spirit, this is none of your business, since you have been named the god of the mountain, it is also a blessing for cultivation." But it's not all good, and it's hard to leave the mountain again. ”

"The green snow is rooted here, and there is no intention of leaving. Midoriyuki's tone was still a little panicked.

Mingyue stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve: "Whether you have it intentionally or not, you are already a mountain god, and it is not a bad thing." ...... Brother Qingfeng, how did the monk do it, I think he is a little familiar?"

Qingfeng: "Gather the spirits of the mountains, condense and become one with the divine consciousness, you can also do it, but you need to use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root Method." At this moment, Lu Xue does not need anyone to cast a spell, the earth qi and spirit are naturally one, and he is directly enshrined by the mountain god, which is not something that the magic power can do. ...... I'm going to meet that monk for a while, Mingyue, are you going?"

Mingyue wrinkled her little nose, shook her head and said, "I don't want to go!"

Qingfeng said to Lu Xue again: "That monk went up the mountain to seal the gods." It's really taken a lot of effort, since you are already the god of the mountain, and everyone in the valley is your guest, so let's show up to entertain you. With that, he turned into a gust of wind and left.

Mei Zhenyi in the valley sensed the trembling of the mountain air, and knew that it was Qingfeng who made a move, could it be that this fairy boy wanted to smash the field?

Zhixu's expression remained unchanged. The Buddha also stomped his feet, and did not feel the ground tremble, but was quiet and peaceful, and the atmosphere of the Green Snow Shrine and the surrounding bamboo forest was restored to calm, undisturbed by the trembling of the mountains. This old monk actually fought back, he won't fight, right?

If Qingfeng really did something with the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court, it would be a great disrespectful crime! The officials of the government could not help Qingfeng, but they had nothing to do with the Mei family, which was implicated in it. Fortunately, there are no outsiders around, they are all fellow practitioners, Mei Zhenyi only hopes that this old monk will solve it in the way of a cultivator, not as a chap.

Mei Zhenyi was worried, and suddenly the mountain was full of mana. It's back to normal again. Then a fresh breeze blew in front of the altar, the bamboo forest rustled, and the figure of the breeze appeared in front of him. As soon as he appeared, he stood face to face with Zhi Xu across the altar. The old Zen master's expression remained unchanged, but Qingfeng was taken aback, and blurted out: "Monk Sha, it's actually you?"

Hearing this, other people's reactions were okay, and Mei Zhenyi was greatly surprised. There was no "Journey to the West" in the Tang Dynasty, and others couldn't understand the special meaning of these three words, but they just thought it was a little strange. Sha Monk: This is the common name of Sha Wujing, the third apprentice of Tang Seng in "Journey to the West". Speaking from Qingfeng's mouth, Mei Zhenyi immediately thought of this one.

Could it be that this kind and kind Zen master is the sand monk in the story of Journey to the West in later generations, this is also too unexpected!

Zen Master Zhixu was not surprised to see Qingfeng appear, and smiled slightly and saluted with one palm: "Qingfeng donor, Wuguanzhuang has been separated for decades, but I didn't expect to meet again here!" He actually called Qingfeng the donor, which is very subtle.

Qingfeng frowned: "I heard that after Xuanzang returned to Chang'an." You have achieved the Golden Body Luo Han Guo. Why did you see it like this today? The realm of cultivation is also very different. I didn't dare to admit it if I didn't stand in front of me. ”

Zen Master Zhixu: "I was just a novice back then, and I was fortunate to have the sound of Buddhism, after the death of the teacher, I got the Buddha's fate, and then worshiped under the door of the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Hongren, and received the full precepts, and the Dharma name was Zhixu. ”

Qingfeng: "Under the Zen Five Ancestors Hongren Sect, there is a little monk you must know?"

Zhixu: "There are a lot of little monks, may I ask which one are you talking about?"

Qingfeng: "His name is Huineng." ”

Zhixu: "Huineng is my junior brother, and now Nanhua Temple is preaching." ”

Qingfeng: "From Xuanzang's theory, you are the junior brother of the heart ape Wukong, from the theory of Hongren, you are the senior brother of Huineng, I hate the heart ape Wukong, but Huineng has some fate with me, and I have to thank him for some things." As for you, if you talk about supernatural powers, you are not as good as Heart Ape Wukong, and if you talk about cultivation as a realm, you are not as good as Hui Neng, but today surprised me. ”

Zhi Xu: "I came to canonize the Jingting Mountain God by the decree of the Queen of Heaven, what is the surprise of the Qingfeng benefactor?"

Qingfeng: "Through the idol in front of me, summon the green snow, gather the spirit of the mountain and the earth qi and the green snow divine consciousness as one, I can also do this, the mana in the human world is only stronger than you, not weak, but what happened later, how can you seal the mountain god?"

Zhixu: "What happened later has nothing to do with the little monk, it is the decree of the Queen of Heaven, not the power of my earth." He called himself a little monk in front of the breeze.

Qingfeng stretched out his hand: "Bring me the decree." ”

Zhi Shu shook his head: "The decree has been burned, and the gods have been completed." ”

Qingfeng stretched out his hand and did not retract it, and asked very abruptly: "You are enlightened under the Zen sect, how can you be a Buddha?"

Zhi Xu pointed to the ground: "Like this bamboo shadow sweeping snow." ”

Qingfeng's face sank: "It's not snowing today!"

Zhi Shu smiled: "After the snow disappears, natural spring will come." ”

Qingfeng: "According to your, the earth dog and the chicken are also Buddhas." ”

Zhi Xu's smile did not change: "Since the donor said so, the Buddha is really like a dog. ”

Qingfeng's brows stretched out, and he said lightly: "You are really a Zen master." ”

These two people were talking across the altar, and there were several people standing next to them, in addition to Mei Zhenyi, there were also more than a dozen monks and monks of all sizes who were accompanied by Mei Yi, Master Xingyun, Master Zhiying, and Zhixu. Why don't these people speak, firstly, there is an accident, and secondly, they can't intervene.

Mei Zhenyi stood a few steps away from Zhixu. As soon as Qingfeng appeared, he wanted to step forward and interject a few words, but found that he couldn't get closer. It turned out that these two people were not only talking, but also accompanied by the sound and sound fighting method all the time.

Qingfeng stood there and didn't move, but Mei Zhenyi had a sense in his consciousness that Qingfeng was walking around the altar and Zhixu. Since you haven't moved, how can you take a walk, this is the incarnation of the immortal master, and it can only be understood and not spoken. Suppose there is a person pacing around you. Asking questions while being expressionless is not a very polite manner, and you will not feel very comfortable.

This is an invisible wind, circling around Zen Master Zhixu for a long time, very similar to the "Shifting" magic power that Qingfeng once cast, but Zen Master Zhixu has not been removed.

The place where Zen Master Zhixu stood and the altar in front of him were ethereal, as if they were frozen. No matter how the invisible winds swirled around them, there was no way to focus in this Skyclave. - How can it be blown away by the wind when there is nothing in the first place?

It seems that Zen Master Zhixu is invincible, but after Qingfeng said the sentence "You are really a Zen master", Mei Zhenyi felt that Zen Master Zhixu was a little unbearable. It's not true that the old monk and the altar don't really exist. It's just that it is shrouded in an ethereal realm, and it can't stand still. But at this time, the invisible wind of the breeze is getting stronger and stronger, reaching the limit of what this ethereal realm can bear, even if there is nothing in the wind. It can also be made out of nothing.

Qingfeng uses "creating something out of nothing" to break through the "ethereal realm" of Zhixu, this invisible wind cannot be heard or seen, and can only be sensed by divine sense. Zhi Xuan was still unmoving, Mei Zhenyi was very close, but he gradually had a sense of spatial confusion, and Zhi Xu, who was surrounded by an invisible wind, was getting farther and farther away from him, as if separated by a mountain.

Although the fighting methods of the two did not affect others, the invisible sense of oppression made everyone breathless. Mei Zhenyi quietly retreated, retreated, retreated again, and retreated again, and had already retreated to the side of the bamboo forest. Looking at the other people, they are almost standing against the bamboo forest like him, and their faces are not very good-looking.

Mei Zhenyi raised her hand, and an object flew out of her right sleeve and buckled it on Master Zhiying's right arm, protecting her with a protective technique. Look at Zhiying and take a few breaths. His face softened a lot, and he nodded gratefully at Mei Zhenyi.

This level of fighting. It was the first time Mei Zhenyi had seen it in his life, and although he didn't know how to end it in his heart, he was also engrossed in every detail. Zhi Xuan still stood still, but the feeling of that ethereal realm in Mei Zhenyi's divine consciousness was getting farther and farther away, as if everyone had arrived outside the Jing Pavilion, or that everyone was still in the same place, and Zhi Shu had been forced out of an unknown place outside the Jing Pavilion.

Out of nothing, there was really something in the ethereal realm, it was a "dang" sound, and the echo was endless for a long time. With this sound, Mei Zhenyi felt that Zhixu had "returned" again, and his position in the divine consciousness had returned to normal.

Seeing that Zen Master Zhixu also moved, he reached out and took out a purple gold bowl out of nowhere, and held it in his palm with one hand and spun it non-stop. The rotation of the bowl and the rotation of the invisible wind around it corresponded, dissolving the mana that was forcing people in all directions. Qingfeng opened his mouth and asked, "How did the guy who begged for food in Xuanzang get to you?"

Zhixu smiled and said, "The poor monk also has to eat." ”

Qingfeng's tone changed: "The bowl is here, where is the clothes?

Zhixu: "It was not snatched away, the queen of heaven issued an edict to go, and the Zen faith clothes are now in the hands of the queen of heaven." ”

Qingfeng: "What does Empress Dowager Wu want a robe for, do you want to become a nun?" Oh, I heard that she was originally a nun. ”

Zhixu: "This is not known to the little monk, today's decree is also written by the queen of heaven herself, the matter of sealing the gods, the little monk is just ordered to preside over the ceremony, and the rest has nothing to do with me." ”

Qingfeng: "How can it have nothing to do with you, if you don't cast a spell first, gather the mountain spirit and the green snow divine consciousness as one, it is useless to have a divine decree." ”

Zhixu: "This is the purpose of the little monk sent by the Queen of Heaven to the Qincha, I am the Qincha, and I must complete the mission, and I am not embarrassed by you, who is the mountain god in this mountain, is it related to you?"

Qingfeng: "It has nothing to do with me, I just want to ask, how can Empress Dowager Wu do it, she can really be a god when she makes a decree?"

Zhixu only replied with four words: "The little monk doesn't know." ”

The two didn't stop, and Zhixu helped each other with a purple gold bowl, barely resolving the invisible wind. He didn't have the power to fight back, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't mean to show weakness at all. The mountain peaks do not move, the bamboo shadows do not shake, and the surroundings are silent.

At this moment, the sound of the clear spring in the forest was very pleasant, and a green figure walked out of the Green Snow Shrine, as if the mountain color of February also moved with her footsteps. It is the mountain god green snow.

As soon as Lu Xue appeared, Qingfeng took back the hand that Qingfeng had been stretching out, and said lightly: "Since you don't know, I won't ask anymore." It is a guest from afar, and the host here invites you to drink tea. As soon as he withdrew his hand, the invisible wind had dispersed, the glade had returned to normal, and Zhixu had put away the purple gold bowl.

It looks like a dead end. But Qingfeng obviously had the upper hand, but he took the initiative to withdraw his hand, and everyone was relieved. Lu Xue came to the front and saluted: "Zen Master Zhixu has traveled thousands of miles to worship the gods of Tingshan Mountain, although it is not from Lu Xue's original intention, I am also very grateful." There is no hospitality in the mountains, so please have a cup of tea. ”

Lu Xue came to the altar and waved her sleeves, and the incense candles on the ground were swept away, and the altar became a tea table. There is a small stove on it, and there is a copper kettle for boiling water on the stove, and there are more than a dozen teacups carved from mountain stones next to it. Lu Xue is already a mountain god, and the spells he casts at this moment are also a lot more ingenious.

She lifted the copper kettle and poured water into the cup, and the pot poured out of the pot was clear water, and there was no tea in the cup, but the water poured into the cup was filled with a burst of tea fragrance, and the water in the cup really turned into tea. Lu Xue poured tea and said, "Qingfeng Fairy Tong has come back from Danxia Peak. Teach me how to brew like this, please use it with your character, and it can be regarded as a little thank you for the green snow. ”

As she spoke, the tea was finished, and with a wave of her hand, the cups on the altar flew up one by one, just in front of everyone and stopped, no more, no less than one cup. Mei Zhenyi took the cup and took a sip and said: "Good tea, good tea, this tea can clear the heart and eyes, detoxify and remove fire." It is suitable for this situation and this scene. ...... Master of Wisdom. I just heard Qingfeng Xiantong call you Monk Sha, is the master's common surname Sha?"

He stepped forward and asked for a gossip. is not only to interrupt but also to solve the doubts in my heart, and stands impartially between Qingfeng and Zhixu. Zhi Shu smiled and replied: "My common family name is Zhou, not Sha, when the Qingfeng donor asked me who I was, I replied that I followed the master to the west as a Shami, he thought that my surname was Sha Mingmi, so he called me Sha Monk." In this case, it doesn't hurt for a poor monk to call Monk Sha. ”

Since he had formed a righteous alliance with Xiong Jushi and called him brothers, how could he not understand the meaning of Buddhism and Shami? Thinking about it, it is also possible that Qingfeng and Xiong Jushi should have formed a righteous alliance after meeting Sha Monk, and he didn't know what Sha Mi meant at that time, or although he understood but didn't care, Zhi Shu replied to Sha Mi and called him Sha Mi, just like Mei Zhenyi called Mr. Sui.

Is this the origin of "Sha Monk"? So what is the "Sha Wujing" in "Journey to the West"? It seems that later generations have a basis for compiling it, but there are also many discrepancies, such as the legend of "Zhongli Ten Tests on Lu Chunyang". Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi was relieved, whether Zhixu was a sand monk or not, it didn't matter here and now.

In the conversation between the two just now, there were two things that made Mei Zhenyi very interested, one was that Qingfeng knew the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Huineng, and the two had also dealt with each other. The second is that Qingfeng was very surprised by the fact that Empress Wu issued a decree to seal the gods, and as a golden immortal, he didn't figure out how Empress Wu would do to the ground. It's not good to ask too much on this occasion, so let's solve the matter in front of you first, and talk about other questions later.

After drinking this cup of tea, Zhixu returned the salute to Lu Xue: "Thank you for the hospitality of the mountain god, this tea is very good, it can be called a wonderful product in the world...... Qingfeng donor, the little monk will leave, I am aiming to build Jiulin Zen Temple in Wuzhou City, but also for many days, if there is Yaxing, please often come to the city as a guest. ”

Zhixu didn't have much to do, seeing that the business had been done, he saluted everyone one by one and left with his entourage. As the governor of the state capital, Mei Yi also had to accompany Qin to return to the city at this moment, said hello to Mei Zhenyi, and also went with Zhixu.

Only Mei Zhenyi, Princess Yuzhen, Xingyun Shitai, Green Snow, and Qingfeng are left in the mountains. It's not a bad thing for Green Snow to be crowned as a mountain god, but today's accident has the most serious consequence, which is equivalent to Qingfeng's cultivation dojo being taken away by Green Snow. Qingfeng didn't speak, and everyone couldn't speak,

"Are all the monks gone?...... Lu Xue, do you invite someone to drink tea, do you have any land?" At this time, Mingyue walked out of the bamboo forest with Ti Yuzhuan and broke the silence with a smile.

Lu Xue replied, "This cup is specially prepared for you. She personally handed a cup of tea to Mingyue's hand.

Mingyue only smelled the teacup and didn't drink it, nodded very seriously and said, "Well, this is tea!"

Qingfeng looked at Mingyue and suddenly said, "Mingyue, after drinking this cup of tea, let's go." ”
