Chapter 14 White Lotus

Huizhen was put at the gate of Shaolin Temple when he was about a year old, and he didn't know who his parents were. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zen Master Fuyu saw that he was pitiful, so he accepted him as a disciple, never thought that this apprentice was intelligent by nature, true and kind, sincere and not roundabout, both very talented in martial arts, and a little bit of Buddhism, so he passed on all what he had learned in his life, and positioned himself as the successor of the mantle. Huizhen also lived up to expectations, not only to study Buddhism deeply, but also to the martial arts is the peak, the Shaolin Temple of martial arts is more carried forward, in the martial arts is very prestige.

When Yang Yunfeng heard him say this, they couldn't help but secretly praise: "This abbot is worthy of being the character of Taishan Beidou in the martial arts." Yang Yunfeng suddenly knelt down in front of Hui Zhen, held the gun above his head with both hands, and said to Hui Zhen: "Ask the abbot to teach me 'Yang family marksmanship', let me find that group of thieves and avenge my grandfather." He saw that it had been nearly a month at this time, and there was no news of his grandfather on the rivers and lakes, and he also knew that his grandfather was more than lucky, so he only hoped to learn his own marksmanship and avenge his grandfather. Hui Zhen didn't take the gun score, helped Yang Yunfeng up, and said: "Little friend, please get up first, let's not mention the matter of marksmanship for now, and now there are two things to be properly handled." Yang Yunfeng raised his head and asked, "Please ask the abbot for guidance." ”

Hui Zhen said: "Do the three donors know who came to rob the scriptures that day?" The three looked at each other and shook their heads. Hui Zhen continued, "Those two are the protectors of the 'White Lotus Sect' who are called 'Xishu Shura'. Lin Xiao exclaimed, "Is the 'White Lotus Sect' the sect that often rebels?" Hui Zhen said, "Exactly. Lord Lin Shi seems to have heard of this religion as well. Lin Xiao said: "The disciple only heard some rumors in the market, saying that the 'White Lotus Sect' specifically colluded with the local gentry and rebelled in some places, but he never thought that these people would not only oppose the imperial court, but also rob the scriptures of the Shaolin Temple. Hui Zhen said: "This 'White Lotus Sect' is actually of the same origin and different sects as this temple, this temple practices 'Zen Buddhism', and the 'White Lotus Sect' cultivates 'Pure Land Sect'. Yang Yunfeng and Lin Yu were both confused, Yang Yunfeng asked: "What is 'Zen Buddhism' and 'Pure Land Sect'? What does it mean?" Lin Xiao said: "There are eight sects of Buddhism in China, and Pure Land Buddhism and Zen Buddhism are the two branches that have the greatest influence on Han Buddhism in China, and their influence is far-reaching. Lin Yu said: "Daddy, you also know this, why haven't I heard you say it before?" Lin Xiao just smiled and didn't answer. He has been chanting for Yang Jinshi every day for the past few days, and has read a lot of scriptures, and when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he asks Huixin and others for advice, and his heart has changed greatly. When he recites the scriptures and worships the Buddha every day, he will feel calm and peaceful, as if he has forgotten all the suffering he has experienced, and he feels that the world is miserable. Hui Zhen saw all this in his eyes, how could he not know, and said happily: "Lord Lin Shi really has a fate with my Buddha." The 'White Lotus Sect' was originally created by the Southern Song Dynasty Maozi Yuan monk, which is roughly the same as the 'Pure Land Sect', worshipping Amitabha Buddha and requiring believers to recite the Buddha, not to kill, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to lie, not to drink, in order to be reborn in the Western Pure Land. ”

Lin Yu said: "His sect seems to be a good sect, why is he not only rebelling now, but also coming to rob our scriptures?" Hui Zhen said: "The 'White Lotus Sect' was also good at first, but because of its distorted teachings, it was considered an evil sect at the end of the Song Dynasty and prevailed in the Jiangnan area. After a long period of circulation, the organization and teachings of the 'White Lotus Sect' in the previous dynasty have changed, the precepts have been lax, and there are many sects. Some sects worship Maitreya Buddha and preach the religious proverb of 'Maitreya is born', which is originally part of Maitreya's Pure Land method. Some of the followers gathered at night to make trouble, and the followers of the 'Manichaeism' from Persia were called 'demon cults'. The 'Manichaeism' religion advocates light, and the god it worships is called the Ming King, so it is also called the "Ming Religion". The teachings of these two religions contain the idea of dissatisfaction with the status quo and longing for the future, and there are many similarities in the rituals such as burning incense and eating fasting. Do you know where the Taizu of this dynasty started to overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Lin Xiao said: "Could it be that Taizu is also a member of the 'White Lotus Sect'?" Hui Zhen said: "Yes, the Yuan Dynasty was extremely heavy on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were not able to make a living, and most of the followers of the 'White Lotus Sect' were lower-class residents, and the contradictions with the upper-class people of the Yuan Dynasty gradually intensified. At that time, there was a Han Shantong who was highly respected in the 'White Lotus Sect', so he gathered the White Lotus Sect and formed the 'Red Turban Army', under the banner of 'Maitreya was born, King Ming was born', and began the great cause of anti-Yuan, when Taizu was a member of the 'Red Turban Army'. Later, when he obtained the country, he changed the name of the country to 'Ming', some people say that it is from the "Book of Changes" in the 'Ming Dynasty, six times become, when the six dragons to the sky', some people say that he is actually telling the world that he is the 'Ming King'. However, Taizu was later afraid that the 'White Lotus Sect' would be too powerful and would inevitably shake his own country, so he began to strictly prohibit the 'White Lotus Sect' after the regime was stabilized. I heard that a 'brocade guard' was also set up, which was clearly in charge of the guards and patrolled and arrested, but in fact, it was to search for and arrest the White Lotus Sect. Speaking of which, I heard Zhiqing once say that Yang Jushi once called himself Jinyiwei when the old woman was recruiting, I don't know if this matter is true or not?"

Yang Yunfeng said: "Uncle must have deceived that old woman, I have never seen him deal with people in the government since I can remember. Hui Zhen said: "Jinyi Wei is cautious, if it is possible to hide in the city, if it is hidden in the countryside, it is indeed unreasonable." The old man also sent people to wait in the tea shed, but he didn't see any Jinyi guard reinforcements coming, thinking that it must be Yang Jushi who was in a hurry and gave the old woman. When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but admire Huizhen's meticulousness.

Hui Zhen continued: "Since the 'White Lotus Sect' was banned during the Hongwu period, I haven't heard much about the 'White Lotus Sect' on the rivers and lakes for thirty-four years, but I didn't expect to meet them at this time. Half a year ago, the temple ran out of water, and many of the original and copies of precious scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion were burned, including the treasure of the town faction "Yijin Sutra". So they sent Hui Hui Neng and others to Putian Shaolin Temple to copy the scriptures and come back, they also sent people to send a letter back to South Shaolin, everything was safe, but they never thought that they would encounter this kind of thing on the way back. Now that I think about it, maybe the fire in the Zangjing Pavilion was also deliberately done by someone. I heard Na Zhiqing say that the old man once said that he sent more than 20 secret stakes along the way to seize the scriptures, which shows that this matter has been a long-planned plan of the 'White Lotus Sect'. The old man guessed that the White Lotus Sect acted so carefully, could it be the same group of people who attacked the Yang family at night?"

Yang Yunfeng said: "If this is the case, I don't know what kind of reputation this 'White Lotus Sect' is going to do? Hui Zhen said: "This matter is very strange. A few decades ago, the 'White Lotus Sect' was called the 'Demon Sect' by many people, because there were many vendettas with famous and decent families, but although the people in the sect acted strangely, most of them were chivalrous and righteous people, and they had never heard of any evil things that hurt the heavens and reason. Yang Yunfeng said: "Maybe they changed the sect leader, and under heavy pressure, they changed the canons." Hui Zhen said: "This is indeed possible. Now the problem is that the old man suspects that the water in this temple is the work of the spies of the 'White Lotus Sect' who have infiltrated this temple. Seeing that Lin Shizhu was quite wise, and the two children were smart and cute, he wanted to leave three of them to join my Shaolin disciples, but after listening to the Yang family's affairs, Lao Ge was afraid that the spies in the temple would be unfavorable to the three. As the saying goes, 'open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent', Yang Jushi has sacrificed his life to protect the scriptures of this temple, if the three donors have any accidents, the old man will not know how to face Yang Jushi in the Western world. ”

Lin Xiao said: "The abbot is reasonable, Lin Xiao's stinky skin will be given up, I am afraid that if the two children have three long and two short, Lin Xiao will have no shame to see the old man after his death." We didn't know that things would develop to this point, and at this moment, we were afraid that the thieves had calculated that we were going to Huashan, and I was afraid that there were also spies in Huashan, so it was better to follow the wishes of the old man Yang Qiuqian before, and I would take the two boys to Wudang Mountain first, and then make plans. Hui Zhen said: "So far, it has to be like this, what is the plan for the remains of Yang Shizhu? ”

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Yunfeng, obviously Yang Yunfeng still had no idea, Lin Xiao said: "It's better to cremate Brother Yang and all the monks together, let's find a place nearby to bury him, this Song Mountain is full of birds and flowers, there is Shaolin Temple to sleep with him, the monks chant for him all day long, and the brothers will definitely ascend to Bliss early." When Yang Yunfeng heard that his uncle was about to be cremated, he was reluctant to bear it, and he couldn't help it, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Hui Zhen said: "I have an idea, how about burying Yang Jushi in Tallinn after cremation?" Lin Xiao said: "Isn't Tallinn the burial place of the great monks of the past dynasties?" Hui Zhen said: "Although Yang Jushi is not a monk, what he does is a monk's business. He gave up his life this time to protect not only my Shaolin scriptures, but also the safety of the entire rivers and lakes. If Shaolin martial arts falls into the hands of the great traitors, it is inevitable that the rivers and lakes will be ruined. It's just that there are many incidents, and I can't write for Yang Jushi to erect a monument. Lin Xiao said: "Yes, everything is under the master's orders, but it is under the order." Hui Zhen said: "I have some friendship with the Kunshan Taoist of the Wudang Sect, I will repair a book, you can take it, you can also make a token." Lin Xiao and the three of them all said: "There is Master Lao." Hui Zhen said to Yang Yunfeng again: "Yunfeng Xiaoyou, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, after burying your uncle tomorrow, you will have to leave for Wudang Mountain." Don't sleep tonight, you bring the gun spectrum, I will explain to you the heart and mantra of the Yang family gun, how much you can pass can only depend on your creation, and then this book must be hidden in ten million, don't let others find out. If you have the opportunity to return to Shaolin Temple, let's study it well. ”

Yang Yunfeng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Abbot! I won't sleep! I just don't know if I can study with Uncle Lin and Yu'er?" Hui Zhen laughed and said, "This is your gun score, of course it's up to you." Lin Xiao said: "Yunfeng, you two practice, Uncle Lin has seen through the red dust, and he doesn't have much interest in martial arts, and when I send you two to Wudang Mountain, I will find a place to become a monk." Lin Yu and Yang Yunfeng were shocked when they heard this, but Hui Zhen had already understood, and said to Lin Xiao with his hands folded: "Good!

Yang Yunfeng and Lin Yu were very sad in their hearts, Yang Yunfeng had encountered twists and turns these days, and he only regarded Lin Xiao as his only support, but he never thought that he would also leave him and become a monk, and his heart was very sad. Lin Yu was only more than six years old, and when he heard this, he cried loudly, hugged Lin Xiao's arm and shouted: "Daddy, don't leave me, okay? Yu'er is good, Yu'er doesn't cry, listen to Brother Yang in the future, learn martial arts well, protect Brother Yang in the future, protect me, and protect all those who are bullied. Dad left from your mother, there is no nostalgia for all things in the world, and when you are sent to Wudang Mountain, where there is a Taoist master to take care of you, and there is the sponsorship of the abbot master, no one will bully you, and Dad will have no concern in his heart at that time, and he will become a monk. Lin Yu just cried and said, "I don't want it! I don't want it!" Lin Xiao saw that he was making trouble, and said with a straight face: "Yu'er, if you continue to cry like this, Daddy Wudang Mountain will not accompany you." When Lin Yu heard this, he closed his mouth tightly, not daring to cry again, but the tears were still flowing. When Lin Xiao saw it, he was reluctant to give up, and comforted him: "Yu'er, listen to me, the origin and extinction of fate, everything has a definite number, karma, all sentient beings cannot escape the eyes of the law, in the future, you must do more good deeds, and you have to forgive and forgive people." You went to Wudang Mountain to see the face of Grandpa Yang and Uncle Yang, but I went as an adult, and I sent people under the fence, but I was not happy. Would you like to see Daddy's sad face all day long?"

Lin Yu shook his head, and Lin Xiao said again: "That's it, Daddy studies the Dharma every day, and when he is close to my Buddha, don't mention how happy he is in his heart." Besides, it's hard to say whether I have a relationship with the Buddha, in case my father is not happy to be a monk one day, will I go to Wudang Mountain to find you?" Lin Xiao knew that his son was reluctant to treat him, so he had to coax him, but Lin Yu believed it, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, and said: "Okay! Daddy, you don't want to be a monk one day, you must come to see me!" Lin Xiao said: "Okay, you are obedient and obedient, learn martial arts well, I will go out first." ”

Hui Zhen listened to the conversation between the father and son, and sighed: "If Master Lin sees through life and death, is not afraid of the villain's plot, and sends him two away, can he go back to Shaolin Temple, and the old man will accept you as a disciple?" After Lin Xiao heard it, he knelt in front of Hui Zhen and kowtowed four times, and said, "Thank you, master." Then he got up, opened the door, and closed it when he went out, and heard him say as he went: "Everything in the world is illusory,

Everything is done because of the obsession,

True heart is pure in nature,

Doing nothing and doing nothing,

Do nothing and do nothing,

Silence, clarity and silence. ”
