Chapter 65: The Unity of Heaven and Man
The Khitan is a very peculiar nation, millions of people actually have only two surnames, yes, that is, Yelu and Xiao, and the Khitan culture is extremely prosperous, but after the fall of the Liao State, except for the Yelu Stone Disaster Europeans and Yelu Chucai, this nation seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no shining point.

You Tanzhi looked at the Xiucai Juzi walking around the street and the intriguing palace buildings on both sides, and was secretly surprised by the degree of sinicization of the Liao State, the conquest of the Central Plains by foreign races in ancient China is usually three processes, conquest, sinicization, and extinction, no matter which ethnic group conquered the Central Plains, what followed was to be sinicized, whether it was court officials or economic culture, it was inseparable from sinicization, but he didn't expect that the Liao State was only a hundred years old, and it was already so high in sinicization.
Walking and walking, You Tanzhi suddenly saw a bunch of people in front of him, noisy, he lightly clicked under his feet, jumped up, came to the roof of the inn on the side, and looked in the distance, it turned out that there were more than a dozen monks in the porridge, the Huayan Sect prevailed in Liao, and the Zhiguang Zen Master in the apricot forest was the person of this sect.
Huayan Sect pays attention to the six phases, which cultivates different phases, it is necessary to have the purification of sentient beings, and the porridge and food are all the strategies left by the predecessors of the great virtuous monks, it is said that this can get the favor of the Buddha, enter the Dharma realm, and realize the true scriptures, the eh, and also the rich monks.
Behind the monk, the Huayan Temple is magnificent, the momentum is magnificent, You Tan's heart is curious, he looks at the temple from a distance and seems to emit yellow light, and when he comes to the temple, he steps into the mountain gate.
Over the hall, Guanyin Pavilion, Tibetan Pavilion and two compartment corridors, high and low staggered, orderly, and the Central Plains of the temple sitting in the north and facing south, the temples here are facing the east, this may be related to the Khitan belief in ghosts and worshipping the sun, the custom of taking the east as the top, no way, no way, or that sentence, not according to the lord of the country, the law is difficult to stand, the Buddha saw the emperor, but also have to give way, uncle, you sit.
Come to the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, between the heart and the left and right tips between the door, the shape is simple, there are statues such as the Buddha of the five directions and the twenty heavens in the hall, the top ceiling color surface, the painted ring, the dragon and phoenix, flowers, Sanskrit and other patterns, extremely rich in changes, the walls around the hall, painted with huge murals, the scale is large, it is rare for the temple murals of the whole country. The content is rich, in addition to the "seven places and nine meetings" of the Buddha talking about the Huayan Sutra, there are also the stories of the Buddha, the fifty-three ginseng of the good wealth boy, the Arhat diagram and the thousand-handed thousand-eyed Guanyin, etc., all of which are huge masterpieces, quite bold.
You Tanzhi looked at the flowers and looked at it all over, but he really couldn't accept this style of painting, shook his head, there were not many people in the main hall, and no one stepped forward to disturb him.
When he was looking at the Guanyin diagram, someone behind him suddenly said, "Since the donor doesn't believe in Buddhism, why did he come here?"
You Tanzhi looked back, it turned out to be an old monk with a white beard, burly, and wrinkles on his face, he smiled: "Those who don't believe in Buddhism in the world are like carp crossing the river, do you still want to keep them all out of the door?"
The old monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, if you don't see it, you won't be annoyed, it is a true Buddha." ”
You Tanzhi said softly: "If you don't see the sorrow of the world, don't worry about the world, and don't understand the three scriptures and six classics, how can you become a true Buddha?"
"Monks pay attention to precepts and wisdom, but other than that, they are all useless things, and whether they can become Buddhas or not is also illusory. ”
"If you don't want to become a Buddha, then what else do you practice?"
"If I want to become a Buddha, then I won't be able to become a Buddha. ”
"If you don't recite it, you will not be able to do it, how can you become a Buddha?"
"This... The donor is smart, and the old man can't do much, so it's just that, let's go and read the scriptures!"
"Where are you going, stay!"
As he spoke, he suddenly made a claw with one hand, and with a slight shot, the old monk grunted, his scalp flew up, revealing the hair underneath, wiping off his makeup, and You Tanzhi smiled: "Azhu, it's really you." ”
Ah Zhu covered his mouth and exclaimed: "You Gongzi, you have good eyesight, the abbot of Huayan Temple has never discovered my disguise technique. ”
You Tanzhi smiled and said nothing, and after a while, he asked, "Why are you here?"
A Zhu's face was serious: "Ah Zi said that the king of Chu of Liao State rebelled, but he did not send according to the elite soldiers, Qiao gang leader was kept in the dark, and he wholeheartedly led the beggar gang to fight with Yelu Hongji in Taizi Mountain, I thought left and right, that Chu King is extremely fond of Buddha, and he must come to Huayan Temple every three or five days to make incense and make a vow, I want to tie him up and force him to send troops to Taizi Mountain." ”
You Tanzhi covered his head: "Ah Zhu, do you think this plan has a chance of success?"
Ah Zhu stuck out his tongue: "I also know that some idiots talk about dreams, but I also want to help Ah Zi do something." After a pause, she continued to ask, "Do you Gongzi want to meet Miss Mu and Ah Zi? and our lovely Ah Biyo!"
You Tanzhi waved his hand: "Since they are safe, they are not in a hurry for the time being, and the top priority is how to drag down the situation and consume the national strength of Liao." ”
Ah Zhu hurriedly said: "You Gongzi, you are treacherous... Uh, resourceful, there must be a way, right?"
Hey, you're trying to say it's scheming, I'm a positive character right now.
You Tanzhi nodded: "There is a plan, but whether it succeeds or not, it is still between the two, okay, you go back first, so as not to worry them, don't pretend to be a monk, although it is a bit of a subduing temptation, cough cough, go back quickly." ”
After a few more jokes, Azhu left, a stone in You Tan's heart fell to the ground, he left the Daxiong Treasure Palace, looked at the backyard forest cold and solemn, antique, dark yellow light, winding paths, along the path, walked about a cup of tea, came to an arch, two novices politely stopped: "Donor, this is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of our temple, not for pilgrims to enter, please forgive me." ”
You Tanzhi smiled. The two novices suddenly felt that their eyes were dark, and they fell asleep, and he stepped into the backyard, and on the Buddhist altar in the center of the hall, the three Buddhas sat on the lotus seat, solemn and quiet. Behind it is a large backlight with a mesh pattern on the inside and a flame pattern on the outside. The disciples standing on both sides of it are delicate and gentle. The Bodhisattvas are beautiful in shape, the demeanor is different, the expression is vivid, there is one of them, the Bodhisattva with the feet and teeth open, the style is special, and the later generations are called the Oriental Venus.
There is a small story behind this Buddha statue, You Tanzhi thinks it is very interesting, according to legend, there is an old craftsman nearby who was recruited, but he can't bear to be the only girl at home alone, so the only girl disguised herself as a man, sneaked into the temple, cooked and washed for the craftsmen, and was found by a young craftsman The real gender, what happened between the two, we don't know, in short, it was not completed on time, the overseer was furious and wanted to kill, the girl took the responsibility on herself, the overseer was a little confused, you don't, what responsibility do you have? So he stripped the girl naked, and then beat (?), the girl jumped into the hot iron in order to avoid revealing her identity, and the splashed molten iron scalded the overseer, and the only daughter died, and the angry old craftsman smiled according to his daughter's deathbed and carved this Buddha statue, so poignant. What a ghost!
The backyard is quiet and deep and deep, I didn't see a monk after walking for a long time, turned the corner, You Tanzhi suddenly saw four stone tablets standing in the open space not far away, and looked closely, it was engraved with the Book of Changes, he looked at the yellow light on the stone tablet, and his heart moved.
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly said, "The donor seems to care about these stone tablets?"
You Tanzhi smiled: "Why is it a stone tablet and not an inscription?" He looked at the person who had always come, in his twenties, with red lips and white teeth, and a bright reflection of his bald head.
The monk didn't answer and asked, "I wonder how long the donor has been in this realm?"
You Tanzhi's mind turned sharply: "What does the master mean by this?"
The monk laughed, and suddenly hit a palm, but saw that his left arm was glowing with purple light, this palm was unremarkable, as if it was just a push at the door, but You Tanzhi's face changed slightly, he practiced the great shift of Qiankun and the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand, and was the best at finding the enemy's flaws, but in the face of the monk's palm, he couldn't find any flaws at all.
His eyes narrowed slightly, he clenched his fists, and blasted out a punch with all his strength to fuse the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand with the strength of the toad gong, and the two compartments collided, and the ears heard a bang, the air waves rolled, the bricks and tiles of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion flew wildly, and the mulberry locust branches and leaves around were fluttering.
The monk took three steps back, wiped the corners of his mouth, and put his hands together and said, "The donor wanted to have just entered such a realm, but he didn't expect his skills to be so deep, which is really admirable." ”
You Tanzhi was noncommittal, and the monk continued unconcernedly: "Has the donor recently begun to see strange lights, and it doesn't hurt to not drink or eat for a long time, and when he is practicing, his body is light and weak, as if he wants to fly away?"
Frowning slightly, You Tanzhi was silent, and the monk continued: "The reason why its implementation master is like this is that he has crossed a pass on the path of cultivation, Taoism calls the unity of heaven and man, Confucianism says that he does what he wants, and I Buddha says that he sees his true nature. ”
You Tanzhi smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know how long it took the master to see his true nature?"
The monk shook his head and said: "People and the world are just a drop in the ocean, and Lao Wei is now a wooden fish that has been knocked for one hundred and eight years." ”
You Tanzhi's pupils shrank, and the monk continued: "These four stone tablets were left by Murong Longcheng a hundred years ago, and he felt that the rise of the Khitan tribe of Xianbei descendants, Da Liao, and the rise and fall of all things, are portrayed here, and the charm on them has not been dispersed for a long time. ”
With his hands folded, the monk suddenly said, "Donor, in the past fifty years, you are the first fellow Taoist I have ever met.
You Tanzhi smiled, turned around and left, the monk was stunned, and then like a fueling the fire, he hit a palm lightly, You Tanzhi hit a backhand, and at the same time pinched the monk's tiger mouth with a small grappling technique of Tianshan folding plum hand, and made a slight effort, with the power of this backshock, his body shook, flashed a few times, and left Huayan Temple.
The monk looked at the blue and black mark on the tiger's mouth and shook his head slightly.
In the distance, a novice covered his dizzy head and stepped forward and saluted: "Patriarch, the disciple is incompetent, and he was beaten unconscious. ”
The monk smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go, if this person comes again in the future, you can directly bring Nagarjuna." ”
Inn.
You Tanzhi looked at the high wall of Huayan Temple from afar, and only felt surging in his heart, he thought that after absorbing the skills of Li Qiushui and Tong Ma, the huge Tianlong Babu world, only the sweeping monk was his opponent, but he never expected that there were still many people in the realm of this, in fact, he faintly had this idea when he was in Tianlong Temple and Lingjiu Palace, and Kurong Zen Master also said that a hundred years ago, there were many masters, and Duan Siping's martial arts were only first-class level, which shows the prosperity of martial arts at that time.
Although there is some decline now, there are still a few old immortals, eh, old monsters, eh, old-timers, who have survived until now, with these people as stepping stones, maybe there is a brighter world ahead.
