The 213th sunrise Songshan Pass, the morning bell startles the birds

First out of the mountains and forests to the main road, there are really a lot of tourists, all in the direction of Shaolin Temple. Along the way, many motorcycles and vans stopped to greet them: "Go to Shaolin Temple, right? The road is still far away, take my car cheaper than ten yuan per person." ”

I smiled and shook my head. Zicheng asked me, "How far is Master Shaolin Temple?"

"Won't you read it yourself?" said a sign on the side of the road on my finger - Shaolin Temple is five kilometers.

All the way to the gate of the Shaolin Temple scenic spot, spend money to buy a ticket, go in and see a sign: 2,400 meters away from the Shaolin Temple, 2,800 meters away from Tallinn, 5 yuan for a battery car. I shook my head and smiled again, and led Zicheng all the way to Shaolin Temple. This thousand-year-old temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty for the Indian monk Batuo. Thirty-two years after the temple was built, the twenty-eighth generation of Shakyamuni's descendant, Bodhidharma, crossed the river and went north to Shaolin, and created a line of Chinese Zen Buddhism in nine years under the wall of Wuru Peak. Since then, Shaolin Temple has been enshrined as the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism.

The origin of Zen Buddhism began with the Lingshan Festival, the Buddha Sect Lotus Flower Ka Ye Smile Buddha Secret Instruction Dharma, Dharma Eye Hidden and Bestowed on the letter clothes and kapok robes. Bodhidharma brought the kapok robe to Shaolin and passed it to the six ancestors, and then it was taken by Wu Zetian, and his whereabouts are unknown. But I know the whereabouts of the kapok robe, and it's on Fa Cheng's body. Fa Cheng brought the kapok robe back to the Shaolin Temple, and he had the intention of returning the clothes to the ancestral court, but he didn't seem to have found a real heir to the mantle over the years.

On the way, Zicheng asked me, "Master, you mentioned last night that you were in Hangzhou Lingyin Temple more than two years ago. Master Fa Cheng once knocked on the door of the Feng Master Ancestor's head. So what's going on?"

"I was just about to tell you the rules for entering the temple, so I'll tell you this story first......

Two years ago, in May, the gentleman went to Hangzhou on a business trip, and went to Lingyin Temple to play. Outside the mountain gate, he couldn't stand the harassment of the hawkers, and spent 20 yuan to buy a handful of incense and candles, in fact, he originally wanted to go and have a look, and he didn't plan to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Helplessly, the little girl who sold incense and candles was wrapped too tightly and held the corner of his clothes. After entering the mountain gate, burn incense all the way, light wax, and offer incense, when he was to worship the wind gentleman, the people around him were worshipping, and he also worshipped. Raise incense over the eyebrows, worship the balance of incense, worship the ground under the chest, but do not worship the Buddha in the middle. He didn't believe in Buddhism in the first place, and he didn't want to worship Buddha after sealing his divine sense.

He is an individual tourist, wandering around all the way, and from time to time inserting into the tour group, listening to the tour guide's explanation, until the last one enters the Medicine Buddha Hall. Half of the incense and candles in his hand were not offered. As if he had completed his task, he lit all the candles, put a large handful of incense on the candle stand, burned it, put it in the censer, and left with his hands behind his back. He ran to the Buddha hall to see the excitement, and many believers lined up to kowtow to the futon in front of the Buddha statue. The Wind Gentleman also lined up in the line.

When it was his turn to stand in front of the futon, he didn't kneel, let alone kowtow. He just stood there with a smile on his face, bowed, and looked up at the Buddha statue with a sly head as he bowed, and then turned around and stepped out of the threshold in the amazed eyes of others. He thought he was dashing. As soon as I walked down the steps of the main hall and came to the courtyard, something happened. He heard the sound of iron in the middle of his head, and his walking figure was fixed on the ground out of thin air. The man was retained, and the gold-wire photochromic mirror on the bridge of his nose flew out and landed on the stone floor a few meters away—because of inertia.

The Wind Gentleman was stunned at the time. It took a long time to react. If an onlooker saw it, it would have been strange, and this man strode down the steps in front of the temple and slammed his head into the eaves of the incense burner in the middle of the courtyard. This pot-bellied incense burner is more than a person high, and there are four corners like a small pavilion on it, and a section of the wind gentleman's head sticks out of it, and the door of the gentleman's head hits it. But the gentleman himself felt even more strange, he walked not without long eyes, how could he not see an incense burner?

Under the heavy impact, he was unharmed, and his glasses did not shatter. The Wind Gentleman picked up his glasses. I touched my head again, looked at the incense burner, and suddenly turned around and saw the Buddha statue sitting on the ground in the main hall. He showed a trace of doubt, a hint of abruptness, and left the Lingyin Temple with a wry smile. This head knocks heavy enough!

Later, once he went back to Wucheng to have a drink with his classmates and talked about it in a chat. As soon as I heard this, I felt that there was a problem, could it be that a cautious bodhisattva was joking with him? It's not impossible, I once saw Guan's sister-in-law selling dates on the street. With the strength of the wine, I carefully inquired about the situation. What did he see when his head was smashed? The Wind Gentleman said: "At that time, the golden light flashed in front of me, and I saw something in a trance, like a bowl used by a monk to transform karma, flying away from my eyes...... Probably a hallucination, if not a hallucination, it's definitely uFo!"

I asked him to describe in detail what the miniature uFo that he saw in a trance looked like, and the more he said it, the more familiar it became, it was the purple gold bowl of Fachengdi. Among the masters in the world, there is such a profound cultivation and such a funny demeanor, both dare to tease the gentleman and do such a thing that makes people laugh and cry, I am afraid that only Fa Cheng is the only one. Last night, I saw Fa Cheng's purple gold bowl flying from the sky, and the bell knocked Hu Pavilion to the ground, and I can be sure that he also smashed the head of the Wind Gentleman at that time.

I told Dan Zicheng about this "public case", and Dan Zicheng was smiling at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, which seemed disrespectful to his ancestors. I flicked his head: "Don't you laugh first, do you know the rules for entering the temple gate?"

Dan Zicheng: "Do you want to kowtow? Otherwise, you will be smashed?"

"You and I are not disciples of Buddhism, but as teachers, we have also had a relationship with Buddhist masters, and we still have to have the respect we deserve. Quite a year ago, Wucheng Guangjiao Temple, Geju Jizan Living Buddha recruited fellow practitioners and asked me to go to Guangjiao Temple for questioning, that was the first time I entered the temple. After I entered the door, I also bowed to the Buddha to show respect and respect. But I didn't burn incense because I wasn't a Buddhist...... You can disbelieve in it, but you can't disrespect it, and when you enter the Buddha's door, you have to do that, otherwise you don't go in. ”

Dan Zicheng: "Understood. If you burn incense and kowtow, you will burn incense and kowtow in a proper manner, or you will be an honest tourist. If you want to greet the Bodhisattva, you must be polite, at least you can't play tricks at the door of people's homes. ”

"It's good to know, the Shaolin Temple is here, let's go in. ”

The mountain gate of Shaolin Temple is exactly the same as what you see in movies and television. The black lacquer plaque written by the Kangxi imperial pen hangs high. If there is any difference from other temples, it is that the staff are different, and the ticket collectors and caretakers of the attractions here are not monks, but uniformed security guards.

Walking through the mountain gate is an upward ramp, and there are inscriptions on both sides of the past dynasties. Dan Zicheng was very interested in these inscriptions, took my hand and asked this question, and I slowly explained it to him as I walked. For example, "Tang Qin King to Shaolin Temple Bishop Tablet", "Song Su Dongpo Guanyin Praise" and so on. The inscriptions here not only have important cultural, historical, and religious values, but also have calligraphy value. There are not only inscriptions written by Su Dongpo, Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang and other famous masters of the past dynasties, but we also have the inscription of Cai Jing, the minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Isn't Cai Jing a big traitor? How could the tablet he inscribed be here? The handwriting is quite good!" Anyone who has watched "Water Margin" probably knows Cai Jing. Dan Zicheng asked curiously.

I replied: "It's not just good-looking, Cai Jing is a calligrapher, and it's good to learn, but after all, he is a traitorous villain...... Speaking of talent, Wang Jingwei is also very talented. It's a pity that he is still the number one traitor in the world throughout the ages. ”

Dan Zicheng: "Isn't the number one traitor in the world Wu Sangui throughout the ages?

"Wu Sangui? That's the statement in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", there was no Wang Jingwei at that time. When Wang Jingwei came out, Wu Sangui could only rank second...... I am telling you that it is not enough to have what you have. It is not enough for a practitioner to have supernatural powers. ”

Dan Zicheng's words were very fast: "It is not enough for a Shaolin monk to have martial arts. ”

"That's right, it's not enough to be famous, it's not enough, this is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism after all! Master Fa Cheng thought of coming here to find the heir of the mantle. I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed when I send back the kapok robe. Go to the monk. ”

It seems that it is not easy to find a monk in Shaolin Temple, because here is full of tourists talking, laughing, pointing and pointing, a huge Shaolin Temple is even noisier than a vegetable market. In the bell tower next to the main hall, there was another sound of bells striking again, which was very impetuous. When I walked over, I saw that there were a few modern girls giggling and ringing the bell, which was also a tourist project.

Walk through the abbot's room to Tachiyuki-tei. Above the shrine hangs the "snow seal heart bead" of Qianlong's handwriting, and a flag tour guide below is explaining a small loudspeaker, a pair of men and women hug each other to take pictures, and the photographer must take pictures of the shrine. The tour guide also explained: "Taking pictures here means that you have a heart-to-heart ......", so everyone rushed to take pictures. Lian Danzi Chengdu frowned and muttered to me: "Master wants me to enter the Buddha Gate to observe the ceremony, but none of these people have a place to observe the ceremony." ”

"They are them, you are you, they are not my disciples, I don't care. ”

Dan Zicheng: "Master Facheng can knock on the head of Master Feng in Lingyin Temple, why doesn't he knock on the head door of these people in Shaolin Temple?"

"Fa Cheng knocks you Feng Shizu, that's Zen mystery, if you knock on these people, then it's really boring. ”

Dan Zicheng: "Where is Master Facheng, do you want to find a monk and ask?"

"You don't have to ask, just follow me, you can meet if you are fated. ”

After visiting Shaolin Temple, I took Dan Zicheng to Tallinn again. Tallinn is about 400 meters west of Shaolin Temple, it is the place where the bones of the monks of the past dynasties are buried, and the towers here can be said to be relics towers, of course, there are also body bone towers and mantle towers. In short, this is a large cemetery, and it is probably the liveliest cemetery in the world. Adults and children talked, laughed, ate snacks, called friends, and many people took advantage of the security guards to climb the ancient tower and pose for their companions to take pictures. I think the current abbot of Shaolin Temple will not be lonely after his death, and there will be people who often step on his grave to take pictures.

In Tallinn we saw Master Facheng. Fa Cheng still looks like the same old with long white eyebrows and a childlike innocent smile. He was persuading tourists to come down and point to the inscription on the tower to explain the origin of the tower - the tomb of a high monk, what deeds and merits the tower had left during his lifetime, and what kind of Zen public case had been left behind. The old monk spoke very seriously, some of the tourists were impatient, and some were very interested, and Fa Cheng talked about one-finger Zen as he spoke. Dan Zicheng and I also gathered in the crowd to listen to the old monk's speech.

"Isn't one-finger meditation kung fu? Playing handstand with one finger is one-finger Zen. Many of the tourists asked.

Fa Cheng shook his head: "That's one finger Zen, it's not one finger Zen, this one finger is not the other finger." In the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk who was enlightened, and when he asked for the Dharma, he only pointed a finger and did not ......say a word."

Zicheng stood aside and listened attentively, and I was also very interested. In Zhaoting Mountain, Zeng Geju Jizan Living Buddha once made a finger without saying a word, the wind gentleman on the bridge pointed to the moon into the delusion. Each has its own mysteries. Fa Cheng was talking energetically, and a bald monk in his thirties squeezed into the crowd and greeted, "Fa Cheng has opened dinner...... It's okay to run here again and hang out. There was a little impatience between his expressions, and he seemed to look down on this wandering monk who came from other places to place orders.

Fa Cheng patted his clothes, stood up and said, "Donors, take care of yourself, the old monk is going to fast...... Senior Brother Yongming, I was just talking about one-finger meditation, do you know what one-finger meditation is?" he smiled as he spoke, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the monk.

At this moment, a group of people came out from the depths of Tallinn, surrounded by monks and laymen, a middle-aged monk with a fat head and big ears. This middle-aged monk has a majestic bearing. The figure is also very fat, and the most special thing is that he is dressed in a monk's robe, which is bright yellow. The yellow-clothed monk happened to hear Fa Cheng's words, and said in a very majestic reprimanding voice: "Fa Cheng, you don't refine the homework in the temple, and you don't help others. Every day in Tallinn, the bamboo basket is empty!"

At this time, Fa Cheng had already seen me, Dan Zicheng and I nodded, smiled and said hello, and then turned around and asked the yellow-clothed monk: "Who said that bamboo baskets can't fetch water?"

The yellow-clothed monk was stunned for a moment: "What did you say, do you want to use a bamboo basket to fetch water?" The others also laughed, but quickly stopped laughing. Because Fa Cheng really took out a bamboo basket out of nowhere, and said with an unchanged expression: "There is a bamboo basket, I don't know where there is water." ”

The crowd of onlookers did not disperse. They all watched curiously as the old monk wanted to use a bamboo basket to fetch water in public. But how can there be water in Tallinn? At this time, Dan Zicheng walked over with a smile and said, "Master Facheng, I have water and mineral water here!"

We bought mineral water on the way, Dan Zicheng only drank a few sips, and most of the remaining half was unscrewed and poured into the bamboo basket, but not a drop leaked! Fa Cheng nodded and said: "Thank you, little donor, the old monk is here in public, do you still have water?"

Fa Cheng walked towards the onlookers with a bamboo basket, everyone was surprised and interested, and they didn't know what tricks the old monk was doing. Those who had mineral water around took it out, unscrewed the lid and poured it into the bamboo basket. He circled around, and in a short time, he filled a basket full of water. The water shook in the bamboo basket, but not a drop was spilled.

Now there are more onlookers, and some tourists greet their companions: "Look at it, there are monks playing tricks!" and someone else explained smartly: "That bamboo basket must have a doorway, and there is a transparent film underneath." ”

Fa Cheng walked up to the yellow-clothed monk with a basket of clear water and handed him the basket with a smile. The yellow-clothed monk was already stunned, and subconsciously reached out to take the bamboo basket. As soon as the bamboo basket reached his hand, the water flowed and soaked, soaking his shoes and pants. At this time, I heard Fa Cheng sigh exactly the same as he just now: "The bamboo basket is empty!" Even the tone was learned vividly, and the onlookers, including me, couldn't help laughing.

Fa Cheng threw the bamboo basket at the feet of the yellow-clothed monk and said with his hands: "The old monk is leaving, let's leave a souvenir of this bamboo basket." After speaking, he took out a piece of cloth from the sleeve of the monk's robe and draped it over his body, which looked like it should be a robe, but it did not look like a robe, because it was different from the robes we usually saw.

However, the robes we see now are not like this, and the red or germanium color base is mostly decorated with golden square stripes, which look like a brick wall. But Fa Cheng is wearing a real hundred clothes, each piece is not too regular, large and small, sewn together, the color is also different from the old and the new.

Strangely, when Fa Cheng put on this robe, his expression became solemn and kind, and even his smile became deep. Even stranger is the feeling that this person is right in front of you, but not like you. Fa Cheng put on his robe, turned away, and walked out of Tallinn without looking back. No one noticed that Dan Zicheng shouted in the crowd: "How can Master Fa Cheng's heart lock be unlocked?"

"The bamboo cage mesh is empty, and the idiot is carrying water in it. He laughed at me, how do I know if the basket is empty or not? I can't get rid of reincarnation like a flail, where does it fall? I asked him which heart needed to be liberated?......"

The sound of singing like a children's song came from afar, and Fa Cheng had drifted away, leaving only a group of stunned tourists and monks. He went away and took the kapok robe on his body and took it with him. Dan Zicheng whispered to himself: "How to solve the heart lock?"

I patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't you understand?"

Dan Zicheng scratched the back of his head: "I understand a little bit, I have to think about it again...... Master, Master Fa Cheng, it seems that he violated the precepts of cultivation just now, and he used his supernatural powers in public!"

"Maybe, but how can you punish him? punish him for playing tricks in public and not selling tickets?"

Zi Cheng also smiled: "I also understand that the three major precepts are held in order not to cause trouble, Hongchen is not talking about Facheng...... If I am the leader of the East Kunlun Alliance, I will punish Master Fa Cheng for compensation, and a pair of monk's pants is heavy enough, right?"

I nodded, "Yes, that's okay! Fa Cheng has given me a little kindness, so let me be punished for him." How much is a pair of pants? Let's go back to the Shaolin Temple again and put the money in the merit box. ”

......

"Ziying, what do you see this thing is?" This is what I asked Ziying in the Plum Blossom Sacred Mirror, I have returned from Shaolin Temple, and Dan Zicheng has gone to Tingtao Villa.

Ziying opened her mouth and said, "This is the thousand-year-old demon pill Xuanzhu Pearl. Oh my God, that monster you killed was so powerful!"

"It's true that there are some means, and it's not easy to practice for thousands of years, if it weren't for the unforgivable sin, I wouldn't want to kill him...... Is this Xuanzhu useful?"

Ziying: "Is it useful? Of course it works! Don't you forget that the thousand-year-old spiritual blood can also be used as a nine-turn purple gold elixir, not to mention this Xuanqi Pearl?"

"Take it to refine medicine?"

Ziying shook her head: "This is a thing that has been refined for thousands of years, and there is no need to refine it anymore." In fact, it is the most useful for a demon to get it, and for the cultivation of a demon, it is simply equivalent to a person getting the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill. ”

"Oh, then give it to you. Count me as a treasure!"

Zi Ying glared at me and feigned disgust, "What did you do earlier?" Before I heard that I had taken the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill again, it would be very useful for you to use this thing for me. It's not right now!"

"What then?"

Ziying: "Think about it again, who among your local disciples has the most difficult cultivation?"

"Ah You, he's a snake demon and doesn't have the good fortune of you or Guoguo. There's not much I can point to him. ”

Ziying: "Now that his fortune has arrived, this Xuanzhu is the most suitable for him." However, it would take him a few years to refine and transform into his own five-step snake pill, so that he could greatly increase his cultivation. ”

"I don't know much about this, only you are the one to guide him. ”

Ziying smiled: "Fortunately, you have me by your side, a demon girl, otherwise you, the master, would be too faceless." I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to teach Ah You to let me go first...... Did you send Zicheng to Tingtao Villa to make a match? It seems that the Xuanyuan Sect and our Three Dreams Sect are going to marry Tingtao Villa. ”

"I just follow his own fate, and I can't force it. ”

Ziying: "Zi Cheng is a little like his ancestor Feng Junzi, sometimes when he sees you and Zi Cheng together, he thinks of Feng Junzi and you back then. There is a feeling of reversal of master and apprentice. ”

"Let's not talk about Zicheng, there is a happy event, there is really a ten-year period to prepare, Rong Cheng and Zeren, if the three dream sects and the main door are full, they will become in-laws first. I'm going to go to Hexi Zhenren for Rongcheng to propose to Zeren, do you say Hexi Zhenren will agree?"

Ziying: "Of course I will." He Xi didn't know that Rong Cheng was a lily. ”

"Even if Hexi Zhenren knew about it, he would still agree. ”

Ziying: "Have you already told Ze Renrong that he is a lily?"

"Yes, did Zeren tell you?"

Ziying: "Not really, but I can tell that Zeren has already recognized her." ”

"We're kidding. For Rong Cheng to go to the main door to mention the kiss, Zeren will definitely agree. But Rong Cheng still doesn't know what will happen when Zeren already knows her identity?"

Ziying: "She's going to be sad and angry!"

"That's good. When the time comes, I'll be angry with her. Her covenant of 'self-disfigurement, not seen for ten years' is indeed a bit excessive, and she has always been very outrageous to Zeren, and it is good to teach her a lesson!"

Ziying: "Have you learned to make this kind of joke too?" just try to do it, and then break it when Rong Cheng blames Zeren. ”

I was talking to Ziying in the Plum Blossom Sacred Mirror Dan room, and there was a disciple outside the door who told me that the abbot of Jiulin Zen Monastery asked to see him. I just saw Fa Cheng leaving in a kapok robe in Shaolin Temple, and I came to the door when I turned around. Of course, when he came, he couldn't help but see it, and hurriedly ordered his disciples to receive him in the main hall.

Fa Yuan always has such a solemn demeanor, and this time the reason why he came to me was a little crying and laughing, he came to borrow money! The monk asked outsiders to borrow money. It means that even if he doesn't turn into a relationship, he just borrows me, and he can't let him pay it back. I'm just curious about how this Fayuan master would come all the way to Plum Blossom Mountain to borrow money from me, the alliance leader?

Master Fayuan didn't hide it, and told me a strange thing, which was actually provoked by his junior brother Fa Cheng, and Master Fa Cheng abducted a little bald head from Shaolin Temple. When Fa Cheng left the Shaolin Temple, he met a small novice in the middle of the temple at the foot of the mountain, and the little novice saw him coming in a robe and singing, so he followed Fa Cheng together.

This little bald head can't be regarded as a monk, because he has not yet been officially ordained, he was sent by his parents to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts, and his Dharma name in Shaolin Temple is Shagen. Shagen's parents live in the countryside of Dengfeng, and there is a relative who is a small leader among the monks in Shaolin Temple, so he sent Shagen to Shaolin Temple by trusting his relationship. The idea of a simple person in the countryside is that I can't afford to go to college, learn some kung fu in Shaolin Temple, and in the future, I can still eat a little bit of food, and if I can't do it well, I can become a movie star or something.

Shagen entered the Shaolin Temple, and it happened that Fa Cheng also entered the Shaolin Temple at that time to place an order, and he and the old monk were familiar with each other, and I don't know why, they fell in love at first sight. Fa Cheng walked down the mountain and met Sha Gen, Sha Gen didn't say a word, and led the corner of the robe to follow Fa Cheng. Fa Cheng didn't go anywhere else, and directly took Shagen back to Jiulin Zen Temple.

This old monk was too unparticular about his work, and he actually abducted the junior apprentices in the Shaolin Temple, and he didn't even say hello. Now there was trouble, and the child's parents heard that Shagen had been taken away by Facheng. I also found out that Fa Cheng was a monk from Jiulin Zen Temple, and directly found Jiulin Zen Temple. But as soon as Na Shagen arrived at the Jiulin Monastery, he didn't want to leave, so he had to stay here and didn't want to go back to the Shaolin Temple.

The child's parents quit and wanted to sue the old monk Fa Cheng for abduction and threatened to report the case to the police. If Fa Cheng doesn't understand the world, his senior brother Fahai is also in the temple, and he should come forward to deal with it. But when Fahai saw the child, he only said: "Stay!" This can be embarrassing, the abbot Fayuan is good, and a Zen master came forward to "negotiate" with the child's parents - how can Shagen stay in Jiulin Zen Temple?

As soon as Shagan's parents saw that their child insisted on doing so, they began to bargain. Their son will have a career in Shaolin Temple in the future, and he wants to earn money for the elderly, and now he is a little monk in Jiulin Zen Temple, and he has no hope in the future. Fa Yuan explained that the empty door is free to enter and exit, and if Shagen is unwilling to stay in the Jiulin Zen Monastery in the future, he can leave on his own. But the child's parents made another request: to get 200,000 pension compensation at a time to agree to Shagen to become a monk in Jiulin Monastery.

On the one hand, this kid must come to Jiulin Zen Temple, and on the other hand, Fahai and Facheng have to keep him, and there is no way to keep the source of Fa. Despite freedom of religious belief, there is still a rule within the Buddhist Association that ordination should be signed by a close relative. In particular, teenagers under the age of 18 like Shagan need the signature of their parents. Doing so is not only in line with worldly filial piety, but also in line with the spiritual source of Buddhism, and there is nothing to say. There is only one difficulty, and the Fa Yuan can't come up with so much money! And it's impossible to use this money from the monastery to "buy" this child.

Fa Yuan went to Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang was not in Wucheng, and the child's parents were waiting for a reply. Fa Yuan ran to Meihua Mountain to find Ziying in a hurry, and happened to meet me too. After listening to this, I smiled and said: "It's rare that Master Fayuan stretches out his hand to me to turn 200,000 yuan, even if I donate the incense money to Jiulin Zen Academy, please don't be too little." ”

Fa Yuan shook his head: "Lord Shi Alliance, this money can't be donated to the Jiulin Zen Academy. Incense money cannot be used for this purpose, and it is given directly to the parents of the child. ”

I patted my head and said, "That's right, I didn't think it through...... I have only one question. I'm not surprised that the child followed Fa Cheng, but why did Master Fahai have to keep this child? Even if you didn't hesitate to come forward and bargain with his parents. Although the empty door comes and goes freely, but the worries of the world have not disappeared, and it should not be something that high monks like Fahai do to give money to their parents to keep people. ”

Fa Yuan sighed: "I didn't quite understand it at first, but I knew it when I saw that kid later." ”

"Oh, is there anything special about this kid?"

Fa Yuan: "You can't say it, you don't have to say it. When the Lord of the Stone Alliance has a chance to meet that child, he may know. ”

At this time, Ziying, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Master Fayuan's Buddhism is profound, and he is brave and diligent. The little girl has always admired it very much. However, when it comes to the wealth and human affection in this world, the master of dealing with people is not as good as others. In this way, the master returned to Jiulin Zen Academy, and I sent Chen Yan from Wucheng Zhiwei Building to take the money to find the child's parents, in short, let her handle the matter for you, don't worry about Jiulin Zen Academy. ”

Fa Yuan got up and saluted, Ziying and I hurriedly returned the salute, only to hear him say: "I have come to the Fa and he recognizes Brother Kong Fang." Let the two of you laugh and thank you for your farewell!"

After Fa Yuan left, Zi Ying sighed: "The three eminent monks of Jiulin Zen Academy, Fahai, Fayuan, and Facheng have different practices, but they are all unfathomable, and now there is only such a precious heir, and this child's future achievements are limitless." The most interesting thing is that Master Fa Cheng is abducted and sold to him in the world, how can it become an abduction?"

......

The monk came out to interview Rory and Shagen's parents didn't pay attention to any Buddha at all, and Chen Yan did it in half an hour as soon as he appeared. Since then, Shagen has stayed in the Jiulin Monastery and practiced with the three masters.

Ziying and I were already discussing when to go to the Zhengyi Sect to propose marriage, but the wedding invitation of the other couple arrived first.

Yu Cangwu, the current head of Haitian Valley, and Ye Zhiqiu, the protector of the Carefree Sect, became Taoist couples, and they also became husband and wife in the world. There is a slight difference between a practitioner marrying a Taoist couple and a couple in the world, but there are also many people who are both Taoist couples and worldly couples, such as the Danxia couple of the Xuanyuan School. There are also cultivators who marry in the world, but they are not cultivators, such as Liu Fei'er and I.

Since it was a wedding, they had to set up a banquet, so they decided to set up a wedding banquet in Weishui, and the location was of course chosen in Zhiwei Building. Since I have a wedding banquet, I don't care about holding it again, the first time is to invite ordinary relatives and friends in the world. The second time was to invite practitioners from various sects. Nowadays, although the Three Dreams Sect Dojo has been erected in the Plum Blossom Holy Mirror, the Weishui Zhiwei Building is still the place where the leaders of the East Kunlun Alliance gather and communicate with various factions, and the famous East Kunlun Dharma Festival has always been held in the Xiaoyao Sect Dojo. Therefore, many practitioners of the three mountains and five mountains came to congratulate them.

Yu Cangwu and Ye Zhiqiu asked me to be the officiant, and I didn't refuse, and rushed to Weishui a few days in advance. Yu Cangwu's master, Tan Sanxuan, the head of Haitian Valley, also arrived in advance. I came to Zhiwei Building to meet me. Tan Sanxuan is still the same, but this time he came to do a happy event for his apprentice, and he changed into a decent new clothes, and he didn't have any more things to do with singing. When he saw me in the gentleman's house, he bowed down and gave a big salute: "Tan Sanxuan gave the Lord of the Shi League a salute, and he also asked the Lord of the Shi League to ask for guilt!"

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to help him up: "Senior brother is older than me, so you don't have to make such a big gift! Why do you still say words of pleading guilt to ask you what is your sin?"

Tan Sanxuan: "Fu Jian was saved by me back then, but I couldn't stop him from doing evil." When I was in danger, I handed over the Haitian Valley Master Token to the Lord of the Stone Alliance. Woe to the east to protect themselves. The master of the Shi Alliance is an understanding person, and he will not fail to see through Tan Sanxuan's intentions, but he has no words of reproach afterwards. Sanxuan is really ashamed!"

Tan Sanxuan's words were very clear, thinking that if I didn't take away the Haitian Token and chase Fu all the way out of the desert, Tan Sanxuan, who was seriously injured, would probably die. He gave me the Haitian token and begged me to temporarily take the position of head of Haitian Valley. It is difficult to say whether it is for the public or the private for the sake of justice. At least I chased after Fu with the Haitian token, and I also attracted the big troubles around him, and it was not easy for the head of the Haitian Valley generation to scheming. I don't blame him for this kind of thing. Tan Sanxuan broke his words today. It seems that I did sincerely apologize and thank you.

......

Tan Sanxuan's status in the cultivation world is not high, if it weren't for his apprentice Yu Cangwu or Fu Jie's matter, Haitian Valley is probably still unknown now. On the one hand, Haitian Valley is a remote desert in the distance. On the other hand, there is only one person left in Tan Sanxuan's generation. However, Ziying's evaluation of Tan Sanxuandi is not low.

Afterwards, one day Ziying asked me: "If there is no you in the world, who should be the leader of the new generation of Eastern Kunlun, Shi Ye?

I replied: "The Wind Gentleman and Qiye are both immortal talents, and there is no need to say the rights and wrongs of these two people, besides, the Wind Gentleman is not a junior." If you say that in addition to me, among the younger disciples of the younger generation of cultivators in the world, the sea and the heavenly valley are pushed to the cangwu and the righteous sect Zeren. Both men have been leaders for some time. ”

Ziying: "Zeren's temperament qualifications. They are all the best choices, but they do not show the mountain dew, which is the style of the thousand-year-old high-ranking family. If Zeren is missing something compared to you?"

"Zeren grew up in a peaceful place in the three mountains of Zhengyi since he was a child, and he did not have many experiences in the world, and he suffered few hardships, and he was more than calm and generous, but he was not decisive enough to kill. ”

Ziying: "This is the dilemma of the master's test of the disciples. I want to put him in the world to go through calamities, and I am afraid that he will be in danger, and it is difficult to achieve great achievements in practicing behind closed doors. Or Tan Sanxuan could think of it, and directly sent Yu Cangwu to the world to do asceticism. This Tan Sanxuan is indeed a character. ”

"It's not easy to get such a high evaluation from you, you don't just praise him for this, right?"

Ziying: "Of course not, he is equivalent to achieving you." When we met for the first time in the ancient city of Gaochang, I dared to give you the Haitian token, an outsider, whose accurate vision, decisive action, and far-reaching scheming made people have to admire, and it is rare to see it in the world!"

"Why did you suddenly remember this today?"

Ziying: "Because I suddenly thought of the future head of Zhengyimen. ”

"Who?"

Ziying: "If the trend of the world is like today, East Kunlun will take you as the overall situation, and it is very likely that the two Kunlun will take you as the future leader." If the Three Dreams Sect marries the Zhengyi Sect, and Zeren marries the great disciple of Meihua Mountain, Rong Cheng, do you think that the upright real person will pass on the position of the head of the family to others? As long as Zeren does not make a big mistake, he will inherit the position of the Zhengyi Sect in the future. ”

"No, there are two real people, He Feng and He Xi, and then it will be Zeren's turn. ”

Ziying: "It is not impossible to wait for Zeren's climate to become a direct succession one day. It is not impossible for He Xi and He Feng to become the predecessors of the Dharma Protector. ”

"According to you, Rong Cheng and Zeren have become a political marriage in the world?"

Ziying: "Even if we know it's not, it seems to outsiders that it is...... At the wedding banquet between Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Cangwu, Zedong and Feng Zhenren's eldest disciple once asked me if Rong Cheng had a confidant and Taoist couple? ”

"Would Edon have this idea? What do you say?"

Ziying: "I told Zedong that the elders of Zedong's men and women had private affairs, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so if he wanted to ask, he would go directly to ask Rong Cheng. ”

"How can this happen?"

Ziying: "This is also normal, Rong Cheng was originally liked, and Zedong didn't know that she was Lily." It is more likely that Zedong just wants to climb the Three Dreams Sect and has the heart to take charge of the Zhengyi Sect in the future. ”

"I heard it, are you worried about Zeren?"

Ziying asked rhetorically, "Aren't you worried?"
