Chapter 1: Meeting the Monk Again (Part II)

Luo Tianchu said: "Master Huishan, do you still know me, let me invite the master to eat a bowl of somen noodles." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hye-sun smiled: "Thank you Lord Luo, the old monk is bothered." After speaking, he came to sit down opposite him, and after Luo Tianchu ordered a bowl of plain noodles, he asked, "Why did the master come to such a remote place?" Hui Shan said: "The poor monk wanders around, and he has heard the name of the Buddha Kingdom of Tubo early, and it is too late to visit today." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Even so, the master should pick a place, this place is so absurd, I am afraid that it will pollute the master's ears and eyes." Huishan smiled: "There is no color in the heart, no color in the eyes, what is the pollution." Luo Tianchu said: "The master has a high opinion." A monk like the master is mostly accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in the temple, but the master wanders all day long, how can he have the leisure to participate in meditation and enlightenment?"

Hui Shan smiled and asked, "Does Lord Luo Shi know where the Dharma is?" Luo Tianchu said: "I don't know, is it in the scriptures?" Hui Shan said: "The Dharma is in magic, and the Buddha is also in the Demon Dao." Luo Tianchu said: "The younger generation doesn't understand. Hye-sun explained, "Only by turning one's troubles can one become a bodhi, and without one's troubles, one cannot do Buddha deeds." The mark of Buddhism is the lotus flower, and the lotus flower grows in the mud, and the dirtier the place, the better the lotus grows, and when the lotus flower opens, there is a lotus pod, and there are lotus seeds in the canopy, and at the same time, there is an effect in the cause, and there is a cause in the fruit. Cultivators can break through the troubles and thieves with the wisdom sword, not only can they jump out of the five yin, but also jump out of the twelve and eighteen realms, and where there is no demon, they can't practice, and even if they cultivate, they can't cultivate. Some people go to the mountains to meditate, but there are no demons in the mountains that can bother you, even if you meditate for 30 years, it will not help. The Vimala Sutra also says that being able to endure demons is the way. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "The disciple has been taught." ”

Hui Shan asked again: "Does Lord Luo Shi know where the Bodhisattva is?" Luo Tianchu said: "I know this, in the sky, in the temple." Huishan smiled and said, "The Bodhisattva is in the world, and there is no Bodhisattva without demons." There are many good people in the world who do bodhisattva things, such as the heroes who fight bravely on the rivers and lakes, although they do not understand the Dharma, but they do things that many people who often hear about the Dharma cannot do, they are Bodhisattvas. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Hui Shan said: "Everyone in the mortal world has a demon in their hearts, what is the demon in Lord Luo's heart?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "The junior is not a cultivator, I'm afraid that the senior will ask in vain." Hui Shan smiled and said: "My Buddha is compassionate, and he uses great magic power to benefit all sentient beings." If the donor has demons, the poor monks will come, and if there are no demons, the monks will go. Luo Tianchu said: "So the master is here to help me exorcise demons?" Hui Shan said: "Exactly." Luo Tianchu said: "The master also said just now that everyone has demons in their hearts, why does the master only purify me?"

At this time, the hot somen noodles were served, and Huishan pointed to the somen noodles and said, "What is this?" Luo Tianchu said: "Somen noodles." Huishan smiled: "This is fate." Poor monks, donors give, is fate. Luo Tianchu smiled: "It's just a bowl of somen noodles, even if it's fate, it's too shallow." Huishan said: "The relationship between the donor and the poor monk is far from being as simple as a bowl of noodles, the relationship between you and me has already been formed, but the donor doesn't know." Luo Tianchu said: "Oh? We have other origins?" Hui Shan smiled: "Exactly." Luo Tianchu said: "What is it?" Huishan smiled: "Don't say it now, the donor will know it later." Luo Tianchu said: "If you have to practice Buddhism with the master to eliminate the demons in your heart, then the answer below is the same as last time, I am afraid that the master will be disappointed again." Hye-sun smiled slightly, did not speak, and began to eat the somen slowly. After eating, he got up and folded his palms together, and saluted: "Thank you for your alms, and the poor monk will leave." Luo Tianchu said: "Where is the master?" Hui Shan smiled: "Go to the place where you go, come to the place where you go." The red dust is not pure, the demonic thoughts are endless, everything is scattered, once the epiphany, the donor takes care. Then he drifted away.

Luo Tianchu was stunned, couldn't figure out what he said last, smiled bitterly, and got up to leave. When I arrived at the door, I suddenly heard someone say, "Will you come again?" Luo Tianchu turned his head and saw that the speaker was Xingtao, so he said, "I'm not coming." Xing Tao's eyes showed disappointment, and she smiled bitterly: "Actually, I also know that you won't come again, hey, why bother asking." Luo Tianchu said: "Although I won't come, you can go." Xingtao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Are you willing to take me away?" Luo Tianchu shook his head and said: "I can't take you, but you can go by yourself, there is no man you are looking for here, you should go out and find it." ”

Xing Tao said: "Then where can I go?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "You can go to Chang'an." Xing Tao said: "Chang'an?" Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Yes, Chang'an." I can't guarantee anywhere else, but in Chang'an, I promise you'll find someone you like. Xing Tao said: "How can you guarantee this kind of thing?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "I know a lot of good young men in Chang'an, they haven't married yet, I can introduce them to you." Xing Tao said: "Really?" Luo Tianchu said: "Of course it's true, I will never lie to you." Xingtao said: "Then how can I find you after I arrive in Chang'an?" Luo Tianchu took out a night pearl the size of a dragon's eye from his money bag, handed it to her, and said: "You take it to Chang'an Yamen to find a person named Cui Xing, and say that the owner of this pearl asks him to settle you down and find you an errand to make ends meet." ”

This night pearl is a treasure in the treasure of Qianliao, and Cui Xing knows it. Only this night pearl is a valuable treasure, the apricot peach is knowledgeable, took it in his hand and looked at it again, and exclaimed: "Who are you? How can there be such a treasure?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "You will know when you arrive in Chang'an." Xing Tao sneered and said, "Okay, I'll go." Luo Tianchu smiled: "Thank you for your trust." Xing Tao smiled: "Take the night pearl as a token, it's hard to believe it or not." ”

Luo Tianchu returned to the inn and found that there was still a light in the house, he secretly felt strange, so he took off the Lone Ming Sword and pushed the door into the house. I saw Liu Shaoqing sitting at the table with a stern expression, and there was a letter on the table. Luo Tianchu breathed a sigh of relief, put away his sword and said: "It turned out to be the owner of Liu Zhuang, and I thought it was an uninvited guest." Liu Shaoqing said: "Just now I heard footsteps stopping in front of your door next door, so I came out to take a look, and saw a Jin soldier stuffing a letter into the crack of your door, so I came in to read the letter." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "What is written on the letter?" Liu Shaoqing said: "It's a letter about war." Wushu asked us to go to the Chenghuang Temple in the eastern suburbs of the city tomorrow afternoon to fight a decisive battle, and the invited people were you, me, and Xiao Zhu. The opponents are Wushu, Wan Yan Li and Wan Yan Chang. Luo Tianchu picked up the letter and read it, silent, thinking that it had come so quickly. Liu Shaoqing said: "What did you talk about with Wushu just now, why did he send us a letter of appointment as soon as he came back?" Luo Tianchu smiled bitterly: "He wants to rebel against me, I didn't agree, and then he should kill me, and he wants to eradicate you and Xiao Zhu together." ”

Liu Shaoqing sneered. Luo Tianchu said: "They were afraid that we would hide in Tibet after the defeat, so they set up the location on the outskirts of the city, where there were plains all around, and it was not easy to escape. Liu Shaoqing said: "I didn't plan to run away. Luo Tianchu tore up the letter casually, threw it on the table, and said, "We can't go." Liu Shaoqing said: "Why?" Luo Tianchu said: "You know very well Wan Yan Li's martial arts, we don't have a chance of winning now, not to mention Wan Yan Chang and Wushu, no matter whether it is an enemy or outwitting, it will not take advantage, and it will definitely be sent to death." Liu Shaoqing sneered: "I still think you are a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but now I am impressed." Luo Tianchu said: "I'm not afraid, but I don't fight uncertain battles." Liu Shaoqing said: "How can there be so many sure things in the world, and how can you be sure when you fight with Sticky Han." Luo Tianchu thought for a while and sighed: "You're right, maybe I'm really scared, not because I'm afraid of death, but because I'm worried about what will happen to the sons of Guanzhong after death." ”

Liu Shaoqing nodded and said, "I understand, blame me for losing my words just now and failing to understand your difficulties, if you don't go, I will never blame you." Luo Tianchu said: "Do you have to go?" Liu Shaoqing said: "Since my name is mentioned in the letter, I can't go, I don't have so many worries about you." Luo Tianchu said: "If you want to go, how can I not go." Liu Shaoqing said: "You don't have to change your mind for me, it's my personal decision." Luo Tianchu said: "Only friends can make me change my mind, I won't sit idly by and watch you die." Liu Shaoqing's eyes showed a warmth, and said, "What about Xiao Zhu?" Luo Tianchu said: "Of course you have to hide it from him, he doesn't have to accompany us to die." Liu Shaoqing nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

Then Liu Shaoqing went back to the room to recuperate, and Luo Tianchu also meditated and practiced in bed. They all know that tomorrow's duel has no chance of even nine deaths, it is simply ten deaths and zero lives. They have already made up their minds to die, and even if they are defeated, they will fight a big battle and die a vigorous death.

It was almost noon, Liu Shaoqing pushed the door and entered. He had already bathed and changed his clothes, wearing a spotless white robe, his long black hair parted in the middle, his nails trimmed neatly and neatly, and the expression on his face was like that of a believer in the Buddha, pious and sacred, and asked, "Are you ready?" Luo Tianchu got out of bed and stretched, and said with a smile: "Today's weather is good, it's a good day to die, we... ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Shaoqing suddenly sealed his acupoint and helped him to the bed. Luo Tianchu's heart sank, and he said in surprise: "What are you doing!" Liu Shaoqing said lightly: "Today's weather is indeed good, but it is enough for one person to die." Luo Tianchu said angrily: "You can't do this! We said that we would go to war together, how could you leave me!" Liu Shaoqing showed a relieved smile and said: "Who will take care of Xue'er when you die, I didn't plan to let you go from the beginning." Luo Tianchuqi said: "Then why did you persuade me to go last night?" Liu Shaoqing smiled: "I just want to see if you are willing to accompany me to death." Luo Tianchu scolded: ", we are friends, of course we share blessings and difficulties." Liu Shaoqing said apologetically: "It's enough to have your words." I have very few friends, so I cherish friendship even more, and you can understand the mentality of gaining and losing. ”

Luo Tianchu realized that Liu Shaoqing's heart was far from being as cold as it seemed, his eyes were moist, and he pleaded: "Help me unlock the acupoint, I'll go with you." Liu Shaoqing sighed: "I only ask you for one thing, help me take care of Xue'er, I will die without regrets." Luo Tianchu said sharply: "You can also survive and take care of her!" Liu Shaoqing slowly shook his head and said, "I can't." Luo Tianchu asked, "Why!" Liu Shaoqing's expression became pious and holy again, and he said slowly: "I am a swordsman, and a swordsman should be ruthless." After that, he clicked on Luo Tianchu's dumb, turned around and walked out.

Looking at his back, Luo Tianchu shed tears. The swordsman is ruthless, not only to his enemies, but also to himself. He uses his life to serve the sword, even if he knows that death awaits him in front of him, he will go to face it without hesitation, this is the fearless sword, the fearless swordsman.
