Chapter 50: Sword Name and Bloody Heart

Lin Fengsheng heard that there was something else in the cave, and he was curious, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that there are other treasures stored here?"

Kong Yuan smiled: "You are not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt to say that you know the Tao." This kind of thing is related to your uncle Mei Daxia, and it is a family heirloom sword book of the Mei family. He sighed and said, "This sword book has been here for five or six years, and he seems to know that he will die soon." When he heard that we had built a mechanism here, he sent the sword book to the old man to collect it here for him. ”

Lin Fengsheng said curiously: "I don't know what my uncle's intention is?"

Kong Yuan said: "He said that his daughter is young and has no ability to practice this sword technique, but he is afraid that she will see the sword book at home and secretly practice it, which will cause trouble." Let the old man keep it for a few years, and then come back to retrieve it on his daughter's eighteenth birthday. ”

Lin Fengsheng nodded and said, "I did hear my cousin talk about swordsmanship before, saying that the foundation was insufficient and he couldn't practice. ”

Kong Yuan shook his head and said, "As it seems that this is not the real reason now, he is afraid that after his death, his family will not be able to protect the sword spectrum, so it will fall into the hands of outsiders." ”

Lin Fengsheng sighed: "Alas, that's what I said, my uncle is afraid that he has already known that he has an incurable disease. ”

Kong Yuan asked some questions about his cousin Mei Ruoxue's age and martial arts cultivation, and then walked out of the Sanskrit Sound Cave.

Yun'er was overjoyed to see Lin Fengsheng come out safely, took the sword and watched it over and over, seeing things and thinking about people, her eyes were slightly moist.

Kong Yuan smiled: "Yun'er, don't be sad, your grandfather got his wish in the spirit of heaven, you should be happy for him." ”

Yun'er bowed and said, "Thank you Master for your success." ”

Kong Yuan said: "This little benefactor has passed many tests to get this sword, you don't have to thank me." ”

Yun'er handed the sword back to Lin Fengsheng's hand, and said affectionately: "Fengsheng, this sword will be yours from now on, I hope you will make good use of this sword for the benefit of Wulin Lin." ”

Feng Sheng looked carefully at the sunlight, and saw that the sword style was simple, the hilt was carved with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, and the scabbard was inlaid with a thumb-sized red gem near the gauntlet. Although he didn't know the way of the sword, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he got such a sophisticated weapon, just like a person who is familiar with calligraphy and ink, although he does not know how to create and appreciate calligraphy, but he accidentally obtained everyone's authentic handwriting.

Lin Fengsheng said: "Now that your wish has been fulfilled, you can always go home with me with peace of mind, right?"

Yun'er smiled, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said, "Well, I listen to you, but the scenery of Jizu Mountain is excellent, and it's not too late for us to take a good trip to the mountain and go back." ”

Kong Yuan smiled, coughed lightly, and said: "This sword blows off hair, sharpens iron like clay, it is really a unique weapon, the only fly in the ointment is that it still has no name." The donor is brilliant, so it is better for the donor to name the sword. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "The master is highly respected and proficient in Buddhism, so it is appropriate to ask the master to give him a name according to his later opinion." ”

Yun'er said: "Master, his name is Lin Fengsheng, you are always the donor, it sounds like life is tight, you just call him Fengsheng." This sword was forged by my grandfather, and you are always his best friend, so it would be best if you were to give it a name to the master. ”

Kongyuan Ha Luha smiled and shirked again and again, Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er still did not give up, so they had to ponder and think, and said: "Now that Mongolia is invading the south, the national disaster is coming, but all bloody people are full of blood, and the old man hopes that you will use this sword to kill the enemy, not to make meritorious contributions, but to drive out the Tartars." Hence the name Bloody Heart Sword. The so-called bloody heart, bloody heart is also. ”

Lin Fengsheng said happily: "The sword is one heart, and the enemy is the same, thank you for the name of the master." ”

The two talked about the war and the national disaster, and they had a sense of like-mindedness, and sat on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and then returned to the temple hand in hand.

As soon as Lin Fengsheng stepped into the door of the guest room, he heard the ice toad in the small wooden bucket clucking twice, and Yun'er also ran over when she heard the cry, and said with a smile: "These two little things must be missing us, they have been on the road for the past few days, and they haven't played with them properly." ”

Lin Fengsheng also said: "Yes, no one is teasing them, they must be lonely." ”

The shallot leaves in the barrel have been picked for seven or eight days, but they are still verdant and dripping, and there is no wilting state, but the number is getting smaller and smaller, and it has been eaten by the ice toad.

Yun'er said: "The shallot leaves are almost finished by them, what can I do, what a pity if they starve to death." ”

Lin Fengsheng flicked the ice toad with his fingers and said, "Don't worry, Master Kongyuan is well-informed, we might as well go and ask him about the old man." ”

Yun'er said: "That's great, I can't bear to starve the ice toad to death." ”

The two carried a small wooden bucket to Kongyuan's meditation room, and Kongyuan couldn't suppress his surprise when he heard the cry of the ice toad, and asked the origin of the cry, and Yun'er told the truth about the situation of getting the ice toad that day.

Kong Yuan said: "Creation and creation, I have only heard of this ice toad, and I have never seen it." It's a wonder that you two can domesticate it so well-behaved. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "This ice toad likes to eat the flowers and leaves of shallots and rue, but the place where it grows is hundreds of miles away from here, and there is not much left of what we have left, I don't know if the master knows what can be replaced?"

Kong Yuan said: "Although this thing is a holy object for detoxification and healing, it is very cruel by nature, and it is said that it usually feeds on the brain marrow of various insects and beasts. ”

Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er both sighed, and Yun'er said: "Why is this little thing so difficult to serve, if you raise it, I don't know how many creatures will be killed." ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "I will go to the market every day to find a butcher to buy pig brains for them to eat, these two ice toads are so cute, I am reluctant to starve them to death." ”

Kongyuan said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and since they are by nature, we don't have to force them to change. All you have to do is release the ice toad out of the yoke every day and it will forage for its own food. ”

Yun'er said, "What if they run away?"

Lin Fengsheng smiled: "I have a way, we just need to tie a small bell to each of their toes, and it won't know where it is?"

Yun'er said happily: "You can figure it out, but this is also a good way." ”

Kong Yuan said: "Today, thanks to the blessings of the two of you, let Lao Ge finally see the Ice Toad, Lao Ge will sell his favor to you, I happen to have a pair of Nirvana bells, so give it to this pair of Ice Toad." ”

After speaking, he took out a small box from the suitcase, took out a pair of silver bells the size of little fingers and a strand of silk thread and handed them to Lin Fengsheng, and said: "This is the snow silk left over from the manufacturing mechanism back then, it is extremely flexible and not easy to break, so you can tie it to the ice toad here." ”

Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er thanked each other and tied the two silver bells to the hind legs of the ice toad. The two ice toads were tied to their feet, and seemed a little uncomfortable, jumping around at the bottom of the barrel, and the silver bells made a series of crisp noises as they landed.

Yun'er said: "Master, is it okay for Ming ** to go with us to release the toads? Kong Yuan's childlike heart rose and he agreed.

In the early morning of the second day, Kongyuan asked Lin Fengsheng to bring the sword and sword book, and Yun'er carried a small wooden bucket containing the ice toad, and the three of them went out of the temple gate and went up.

Jizu Mountain is the holy place of Buddhism in Dali, along the way the clear spring and dangerous cliffs, lush forests and bamboos, immersive to give people a sense of vulgar thoughts, return to the basics. Kong Yuan casually explained the names and origins of the scenery and the stories of the monks of the past dynasties who participated in Zen and enlightenment here, Lin Fengsheng liked Buddhism and listened to it very fascinated, but Yun'er was not much interested, and only looked around to enjoy the scenery.

The three of them crossed a forest path and came to a flat clearing, and Kongyuan said: "According to legend, this was once the dojo where Venerable Jiaye gave lectures and martial arts, and the old man will give you a little guidance here." Lin Fengsheng bowed down and thanked him, took out the sword book and offered it with both hands.

Kong Yuan took the sword spectrum and said: "Yun'er, this place is located in the forest and mountain col, there are many insects and beasts, you can release the ice toad." Yun'er tipped the barrel as she said, and the two ice toads giggled and jumped into the rocks.

Yun'er followed from a distance. Kong Yuan said: "This allusion to 'smiling flowers' and 'mantle fax' must have been known to you, the gist of this swordsmanship is no different from Zen, what is emphasized is just the four words of 'heart comprehension'. Its meaning is the foundation, and the move is the end. You are very Buddha-related and wise, and it must not be difficult to understand. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "Zen people have a heart and a Zen in their hearts, sitting and Zen, standing and Zen, walking and sleeping, and they are always and everywhere Zen." People have an epiphany and get Zen. ”

Kongyuan said: "Amitabha, that's exactly what it is. If you can understand the meaning of swordsmanship, you can join hands and touch the analogy. The moves in the sword book are just a guide, and the so-called use of the subtlety is stored in one mind, and the subtlety and mystery of it will depend on you to slowly comprehend it in the future. ”

There are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one swordsmanship in this set, and Kong Yuan explained them in detail one by one and demonstrated them himself, and he also knew a little about many of them, so he discussed and explored them with Lin Fengsheng. Lin Fengsheng practiced the Guigu Divine Skill, and carefully looked at the methods used to break the enemy in the Seven Techniques, and his insight in martial arts was already extraordinary, and it was insightful to talk about it with Kongyuan at this time.
