Chapter 124 Withered Glory
Although it only appeared in one scene, it left a very deep impression on Sikong Zhan.
Master Kurong was born in the royal family of Dali, became a monk when he was young, and became a monk in Tianlong Temple in Dali.
When he appeared, he had strong martial arts and high morality, and he had a six-vein divine sword scripture sword spectrum. The only thing that is not in harmony is that the complexion is too cold, and there is no compassionate face of an ordinary enlightened monk.
And it is precisely this point that makes Sikong Zhan pay attention to this person, strong in martial arts, with a face of suffering, or a face of compassion and kindness, there are countless monks and great virtues in the world, not long ago, those masters of the Golden Bull Temple are not this kind of people, and the master with a cold expression, he is still the first time to see it.
A Buddhist gate like Dao Ji is not counted, and Fahai, who is only one side of the relationship, seems to be even less so.
Master Kurong not only attracts attention on the outside, but also admires him secretly in terms of personality.
I remember that the monk Gu Mo Zhi of the Great Wheel Ming came to seize the sword spectrum of the sword, and he would rather destroy the score for the broken jade than for the tile Quan, so that Gu Mo Zhi went in vain, although he was injured by Gu Mo Zhi, but he also injured it with the Shaoze sword.
The cultivation of the dry glory of the gods, is a Tianlong Temple from the Buddhist scriptures to understand the world's unique learning, the essence of impermanence, the double tree withered glory, the north and the south, the west and the east, the surface of the false surface empty - four withered and four glory.
It is said that when the Buddha entered and perished, there were two trees in the east, west, north and south, and the two trees on each side were one prosperous and one withered, which was called the four withered and four prosperous.
According to the Buddhist scriptures, the Eastern Twin Trees mean permanence and impermanence, the Southern Twin Trees mean happiness and unhappiness, the Western Twin Trees mean self and non-self, and the Northern Twin Trees mean purity and impurity.
The tree of prosperity and glory signifies the true state of Nirvana: always happy and pure, and the withered and withered tree shows the state of the world: impermanence, no happiness, no self, no purity. The Buddha's annihilation between these eight realms means that it is neither dry nor glorious, neither false nor empty.
Master Kurong has been meditating on dry meditation for decades, and has cultivated to the realm of half withering and half glorious, and is just the last step away, and he will cultivate to a higher level of the consummation of non-withering and non-glorious, and also withering and glorious.
Although the memory is there, the reality has long been on another fork in the road, and with the talent of Master Kurong, Sikong Zhan really does not dare to easily assert whether Master Kurong still exists now.
Even if a young monk with a cold face in the Tianlong Temple claimed to be Master Kurong, he would never be surprised, naturally, provided that the other party could knock himself out with one move.
Whether there is a master of Kurong in Tianlong Temple or not, Sikong Zhan can let it go, but Duan Zhixing, one of the four peers in the past, and the current Nan Seng Yi, he can't get around.
Especially without the emotional injury of Yinggu, he is dedicated to martial arts, cheeky in Tianlong Temple, and does not return to the vulgar world to become the emperor of the pseudo-monk Nandi.
Coupled with his own stimulation, Sikong Zhan can hardly imagine the ending of this guy in the future, after all, Hong Qi, who is very stimulated, is working hard, and Duan Zhixing, who is obsessed with martial arts, will do not need to imagine at all.
At this time, the Four Absolute is not a warrior who rests on his laurels after 20 years, looking down on the heroes, without the slightest enterprising heart, they have been named the Four Absolute for a few years, all of them are ambitious, and they are surpassed by a young man.
Coming to Dali Kingdom, Duan Zhixing's territory, with the origin of the Quanzhen Sect and the Duan clan in Dali, Sikong Zhan has a great reason, and he has to visit him in person.
Since it has been traced back here, by the way, I asked the Duan family about the disappearance of one or two martial artists, and there may be unexpected gains.
If the Duan clan, who commands a country and the entire southwest rivers and lakes, can't track down the clues, he will be alone, no matter how arrogant Sikong Zhan is, he also feels that there is little hope, even though he has the big killer weapon of magic.
"Let's let Poor Dao be an authentic martial artist!" Sikong Zhan smiled to himself.
A Taoist priest naturally has to have the appearance of a Taoist priest, that is, he is free and free, he is carefree, he is indifferent, and he takes cultivating his mind and cultivating the Tao as the main purpose.
And the warriors of the rivers and lakes walk the rivers and lakes, happy to the end of the world, they have always been proud and enthusiastic, and their lives can be described as ups and downs, and they are wonderful.
Maybe his heart is too much in line with the Taoist sect, Sikong Zhan has never cared about his identity as a martial artist.
When you encounter injustice and injustice outside, you can do it easily, and if you have nothing to do, you can do it easily, and everything will be natural. He never thought about doing chivalrous righteousness at all, of course, doing those things was just his natural conscience as a human being, punishing evil and promoting good, and having the ability to do what he pleased.
can get the title of hero, in Sikong Zhan, he is mostly stained with the light of the great reputation of the Quanzhen Sect, compared to those heroes who really fight the sword rivers and lakes, and are born and die, he is indeed a little insufficient.
But he will not be arrogant, the deeds he has done in the past few years, the hero may not have enough confidence, but the praise of a young man is well-deserved.
"I would rather be a moral monk than a generation of heroes admired by the world. Bamboo and mango shoes, Ge clothes and plain clothes, walking between the famous mountains and rivers, wandering away from the red and mortal world, observing the world, and realizing the law, is not a blessing in life. ”
Although I think so in my heart, when I encounter this matter, I don't have anything important, so I still stand by and watch.
Whether as a Taoist priest or a martial artist, at least in his heart, Sikong Zhan himself can't pass it first.
On that day, Sikong Zhan finally came to the outside of Dali City, standing on a high place and looking at the city, majestic and majestic, revealing a simple charm.
The whole layout of the city is orderly, solemn and majestic, very royal power, and the momentum of the national capital is prosperous.
In this regard, Lin'ancheng, the temporary capital of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, Sikong Zhansheng was suddenly touched, and the two could not be compared at all.
Lin'an City has the inherent characteristics of the city in the south of the Yangtze River, which is exquisite and chic, but when it is used as the capital, it is inevitable that it is a small family and not grand enough. In terms of atmosphere, Chang'an City, the capital of the former dynasty, was the first, and Bianjing was only a little higher than Dali City.
The city is square as a whole, with four gates opened, a city tower is built on the top, an acropolis is built below, and there are three streams in the north and south as natural barriers.
If you look closely, you can see that the city is lined with five main streets from south to north, and eight streets and alleys from west to east, and the whole city is laid out in a checkerboard layout.
With Sikong Zhan's foot strength, it didn't take long to reach the north gate of Dali City.
Entering the city, along the bluestone street, the deep streets and alleys crisscross the city, the whole city is full of clear tile roofs, and the cobblestone walls show the simplicity and chic of the ancient city.
On both sides of the street, there are many shops and vendors, and the exotic customs are very different in the Central Plains.
In particular, the wind of worshipping Buddha here is particularly prosperous, Buddhist temples are all over the territory of Dali country, there are three small temples, eight hundred big temples are called, among them, the most famous is the Tianlong Temple with the title of national temple.
And Sikong Zhan's destination is Tianlong Temple.
