Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 215

The shadows of the trees on Shigu Peak are faint, and you can see the sparkling Dalongtan from a distance. In the twilight, someone came walking on the grass path.

The long reed leaves hang down with the gust of evening wind, forming a sea of ​​grass that can drown people, but the sound of footsteps never stops, following the shadow of the moon hanging on the high place of the canopy tree, two thin strips The old figure stopped quietly, and stopped in front of a mountain house made of bluestone.

"Amitabha, Tanyue, and the old monk came to the door to confess their crimes."

Abbot Hongbian lowered his head and walked into the mountain house. He saw that the house had been well-arranged, and a lighted candle was quietly placed at the foot of the house to prevent it from being blown out by the bitter mountain wind. The lonely figure in front of the bed is indistinct and ever-changing.

"Two masters, thank you for coming."

Jiang Wen sat in front of the window with no expression on his face, and saw that his right hand was tightly bound again, and Zhan Lujian was also used as a splint again. Coupled with his unhealed appearance, his appearance was a bit miserable.

Although the previous shocking blow cracked the stone gap and the cave collapsed, it also affected Jiang Wen's right hand that used the Depressed Ecstasy Palm. , the injury was more serious than the previous one.

"Jiang Tanyue, is this girl still showing no sign of waking up?"

Abbot Hongbian saw that Jiang Wen indicated that he was fine, so he took Luo Shuang'er's pulse after obtaining consent, and found that Luo Shuang'er's pulse was basically stable, but he was unconscious and unconscious, and did not respond to external things. This was among many misfortunes The only luck.

"Thank you, Abbot, for your concern. I have already used many methods to try to wake her up. Sister Shuang's meridian injuries have obviously improved, but her sanity has suffered from ups and downs. Now I am helpless."

Jiang Wen took a deep breath, with a solemn and solemn expression, and signaled to the two old monks to sit down in peace. There are many things that need to be discussed in the long night.

"I just hope that the two of you can tell everything - I just never thought that a heavenly Buddhist kingdom like Jizu Mountain would be haunted by ghosts..."

Jizu Mountain is haunted by ghosts, this is Jiang Wen’s most shocking discovery this time. Before entering the temple, he repeatedly spied on him and ruled out the suspicions such as bodhisattvas in the flesh, black shops and so on. Simple and natural oddities.

The embarrassment on the faces of the two old monks was even heavier. Master Anren was not good at speech, so now he can only bow his head and chant sutras.Abbot Hongbian was twirling the beads, and at this moment he also lowered his voice and closed the window gently, as if he was worried that the small sounds of a few people's conversation would be heard by the wood charm mountain spirit who was walking outside the cold window.

"Jiang Tanyue, Jizu Mountain is the kingdom of heaven, the city of earth, and the Venerable Maha Kasyapa is here to keep his clothes in meditation. How can it be a place of disaster in the ghost realm? It's just a calamity. All crimes should be punished. Belonging to the old monk, the ominous situation in Xitan Temple is now, the old monk thought that no matter what, it would not spread to the two Tanyue..."

The two old monks looked at each other, knowing that any further explanations would only make people feel like they were shirking responsibility. Fortunately, seeing that Jiang Wen was in a stable mood and had mixed feelings in his heart, many things should not have been revealed to outsiders, but at this time the situation was critical. In any case, this Olympic aid cannot be lost.

Master Anren was silent for a while, and he said in a low voice in bewilderment: "Almsgiver, there are not a few monks who have encountered ghosts in the temple. Master and senior brothers keep secrets for the reputation of Xitan Temple, but they have always been entangled by ghosts. All the people who have received full precepts and come in and out in front of Buddha statues have never been affected by pilgrims, let alone accidents in the rock chamber medicine pool..."

The two old monks told Jiang Wen that it is not uncommon for the ghosts to appear in Xitan Temple. It happened as early as the beginning of the construction of the temple in the Dingsi year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty.

The former abbot, Ben Wu, was a very knowledgeable Zen master. After reading "Maha Zhiguan" written by Master Zhiyi of Tiantai Mountain in the Sui Dynasty, he found the ghost's heel.Fearful ghosts should have been at the end of the Dharma of Kananahan Buddha. There was a bhikkhu who liked to annoy the monks and drove them out. Then he swore an evil vow to die and turned into a ghost. He often annoyed those who sat in meditation. It is like the shape of insects drilling thorns on the head and face of people.

Then traces were found in the "Secret Method for Treating Zen Diseases" translated by Juqu Jingsheng in Beiliang.

The fear ghost reappeared in the world during the time of Shakyamuni Buddha. At that time, thousands of monks of the Maha Kasyapa Orthodox Church practiced rigorously in the monastery of the Lonely Garden. The face of ghosts and gods is like a lute, flying around the monastery, with four eyes, two mouths, and a bright face, all in various ferocious and terrifying shapes, hitting the two armpits and the rest of the body with their hands.

Mahakassapa opened his eyes to check, and saw the horror of the monks, and heard the voice of "Fear, Beware, Beware" in his mouth, flickering like a wheel of fire, like lightning, in the void for a while When it rises or disappears, all the monks in the hall immediately flee in chaos.Fortunately, Mahakasyapa practiced deeply and remained unmoved. The Buddha spoke out to reveal the real body of this depraved person, and passed on the secret method of impeachment, which turned the crisis into safety.

Zen Master Benwu explained to many disciples that Mahakasyapa is the "Thutuo No. 1" among the Buddha's disciples. He practiced No. [-] practice of non-attachment, and the ghost ghost is one of the tribulations of Mahakassapa. It was eliminated by the Buddha in the previous life. Only then did he catch up to the Jizu Mountain Dojo.

The terror ghost haunting the mountain is actually the karma between the Venerable Maha Kasyapa and the terror ghost. The monks only need to deal with it with quiet skills and uphold Bodhi, and the ghost will have no other harm. Let the monks Everyone can practice with peace of mind.

However, this incident is particularly frequent and severe during the first lunar month of each year. When the monks of Xitan Temple meditate and chant scriptures in the Buddhist hall, there will always be ghosts coming to haunt them, but they still rely on monks, and they only haunt places where there are Buddha statues. Never hurt people when haunted - so Xitan Temple has set the rules of fasting and closing the temple in the first month. Only those who have just become monks and have not had time to observe the precepts have been allowed to enter and leave the temple gate to move freely.

"So that's the case, no wonder Master Anren can break the ground, and chant scriptures to drive away ghosts..."

Jiang Wen has always been skeptical about ghosts and ghosts. Based on the basic qualities of the rhinoceros wielder, the secret channel inside is afraid that he will encounter monsters again.Recalling that day, he seemed to have heard the voices the two said, it was faintly coming from the cave, and there was a puff of poisonous smoke rushing out of his mouth and nose...

Abbot Hongbian told Jiang Wen in a low voice that during the first month before his arrival, Xitan Temple was almost on the verge of collapse.

The Pingxi Palace is aggressive outside, and the fearful ghosts are haunting inside. Abbot Hongbian had no choice but to completely close the monastery to calm the situation. Because the fearful ghosts only entangle the monks who have received full precepts, and only haunt the Buddha statues, so Hongbian Abbot Bian also closed the meditation halls of the main halls so that the monks could not see the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

I thought that the strange things would subside a little, but what happened next was even more beyond the expectations of everyone in Xitan Temple.

Some monks who recite scriptures alone in the meditation room often feel that there are shadows among the halls and buildings of Xitan Temple, as if ghosts are constantly shuttled in and out, and there is no one when they open the window and look closely.And when the monks walked late at night and passed the empty Buddhist halls that were heavily locked, they would find strange laughter faintly coming from it, and looking through the windows, there seemed to be many whip marks on the wooden and clay Buddha statues.

Later, there was a pair of mottled mottled stone lions and stone elephants outside the Sansheng Temple, which had been uninhabited for a long time. There were also lonely monks wandering around late at night. Seeing the strange appearance of the stone statues, the fur of the brave stone lions is frightening and floating all over the body, and the dignified stone elephants are waddling and crawling on all fours. A strong smell of mud hits the face, which is almost suffocating.

So Xitan Temple added a rule that after more than five people are not allowed to go out together.

"My good fellow, what kind of shit happened, that's why we forcibly created a strange talk about the rules in Xitan Temple..."

Jiang Wen frowned, he didn't expect that he just wanted to find an opportunity to get back to Guangdong and Guangxi, but accidentally got into this dangerous place.But if you think about it carefully, there are still quite a few loopholes in these rhetoric, which cannot withstand careful scrutiny.

For example, there is no Buddha statue in the medicine pond in the stone cave, and Jiang and Luo have never been ordained to become monks. According to the two old monks' convincing words, it is possible that the fear ghost has not entangled him at all-if this is the case It would make sense for Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi to bump into each other. Could it be that Luo Shuang'er secretly followed Yuan Ziyi to become a monk while no one was paying attention, and finally accidentally injured herself?
Jiang Wen looked at the unconscious Luo Shuang'er suspiciously, thinking that this might be the most reliable statement.

If the above conjectures are not true, it is impossible for the two of them to be recommended to the Western Paradise because of their natural Buddha nature over human nature, right?
"Amitabha, I am afraid that all these things are as the master said. It is because the karmic relationship between Mahakasyapa and the ghost ghost has not disappeared, so it was poisoned to the Jizu Mountain, and was inherited by Xitan Temple.
Unintentionally involved the two benefactors, hey..."

"Grandmasters, I still have a doubt. If it is said that the karma between Butigui and Venerable Kasyapa has not been resolved, why are they only entangled with Sitan Temple instead of tossing about the many temples on the mountain?"

After hearing about it, Jiang Wen's doubts peeled off layer by layer, and he finally got close to the ring in the center where the truth came out. He asked this question, but thinking about it wildly, Jiang Wen thought of the stone carving portrait exposed on the top of the cave, and more Doubts came to mind.

"Grandmasters, the weird portrait that came out of the collapsed top of the stone chamber is the true form of a certain Buddha and Bodhisattva?"

As soon as these words came out, Abbot Hongbian and Venerable An Ren looked at each other, suddenly fell into silence, their faces were full of anxiety.

"Tan Yue, do you know who built this stone cave medicine pond?" Abbot Hongbian asked suddenly.

Jiang Wen shook his head, but didn't understand the old monk's intention of asking: "I only heard that the master said that Xu Xiake came here. It stands to reason that it should have been built decades ago. It can't be the guest of Yanxia who excavated it?"

Abbot Hongbian clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, this cave and the Three Sacred Hall in the temple were originally built by my master Benwu Zen master after he asked for the Dharma from Tiantai Mountain. The portrait on the top of the cave has been dusty for many years. What Master did..."

"Praying for the Fa from Tiantai Mountain? This sounds like another story."

Looking at Luo Shuang'er who was still unconscious, Abbot Hongbian let out a long sigh, folded his monk's robes and bowed his head, trying to resolve all kinds of unwillingness and resentment in his heart with grief and silence.

"Amitabha, how can the old monk have the magic power of the Buddha? The matter of Xitan Temple started from the Sansheng Temple, and the matter of the Sansheng Temple came because there was no Zen master. The two old monks wished that they could use their bodies to eliminate the sin , various reasons, wait for the two old monks to talk slowly..."

On the solitary peak, Jiang Wen and the old monk were sitting in the mountain house, planning to use the dead leaves as a mat, hang the cold wind as a curtain, let the long wind howl outside the window, and watch a cold moon hang high in the distance. Amid the guilty look on the Master's face, he talked about some past events.

…………

Master Anren's original courageous and diligent practice suddenly encountered tribulations one day, and it seems that he has become a person who has become a person who has become a buddha.In order to keep Master Anren's practice from regressing, Zen Master Benwu finally decided to go to Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain to ask for the Dharma in his old body.

Needless to say, the distance from Yunnan to Zhejiang is long, and all kinds of hardships are not humane. After going through many hardships, the old monk finally came to the foot of Tiantai Mountain.

Guoqing Temple, an ancient temple in Tiantai Mountain, was built in the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty. It was founded by Master Zhizhi, the founder of Tiantai Sect. Respected as the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect.

This time he went to Tiantai Mountain to ask for the Dharma. In addition to asking for the "Huayan Great Repentance" to repent for his disciples' karma and rehabilitate him, he also wanted to invite him back to a martial arts - no Zen master knew that it would be difficult for his disciple Anren to learn Buddhism. Afterwards, he planned to find another way from Wu to Zen, and it is said that in the ancestral garden of Tiantai Mountain, there is a strange and bizarre Buddhist technique called "Cold Mountain Kungfu".

I just didn't expect these two things to be poisonous.The Sansheng Temple that once enshrined the "Huayan Great Repentance" fell into disrepair after a certain accident, and became a place where snakes and raccoons lived in Xitan Temple; and "Hanshan Gong" was also implicated by many foreign objects. The medicine pond in the stone cave has always been forbidden for outsiders to come in and out, and there have been many abnormalities. Today, the collapse revealed its true appearance. In the end, even the temples in the mountain were at odds because of it...

"Grandmasters, it is said that this "Hanshan Gong" was created by Master Hanshan, a poet and monk in the Tang Dynasty. It is also passed on occasionally in the world. According to what I see, it is nothing more than kung fu for self-cultivation. How come the more you talk about it, the more evil it is?"

Jiang Wen's expression was a little unnatural when he spoke, and his cheeks twitched unconsciously, but he quickly suppressed all signs and completely recovered his calm.

Abbot Hongbian said without sadness or joy: "Amitabha, since Tanyue also knows the story of the two masters picked up by Hanshan, it is naturally the best. Let the old monk repeat a few words to see if it is the same as what he heard..."

Jiang Wen took it as if the other party was praising him. After all, Han Shan picked up two famous people, so it was impossible for him not to know: "Oh? Could it be that Han Shan picked up the portrait on the top of the cave?"

Hanshan lived in seclusion on Hanshi Mountain in Tiantai for more than [-] years.

It is said that Hanshan and Shide met each other as before, and they were brothers and sisters. They climbed mountains and rivers, read Buddhist scriptures, and recited ancient poems. Every time they got something, they wrote it among trees and rocks. The governor Lu Qiuyin compiled "Hanshanzi Poetry Collection", which contains more than 300 poems. His deeds are also widely circulated because of his satirical tense and weird behavior.

"... Exactly. It's a pity that there are so many falsehoods in the world, some of which can be called absurd, but in the face of many particularly bizarre and absurd things, this may not be a bad thing."

Abbot Hongbian's words were tactful, and seeing that Jiang Wen's original intention of what he was listening to hadn't changed, he stopped pretending to be mysterious and continued talking.

"Master did not have a Zen master, and when he first came to Tiantai Mountain, he discovered that the story of Hanshan's pick-up was quite taboo in Guoqing Temple. At first, he didn't dare to find out the deep reason. After repeated requests, the abbot of Guoqing Temple was willing to tell the truth. "

"Master once told the two of us that the monks at the end of the Tang Dynasty were happy to join the association. Because Hanshan picked up both of them and lived on the roof, and Luqiu was a famous eunuch in this dynasty, it was easy to gain trust under the guise of this person, so relying on his name, he fabricated stories to confuse future generations. ..."

Fake?A thunderbolt flashed in Jiang Wen's mind, anticipating that the next thing would be extraordinary.

Afterwards, Abbot Hongbian said exactly what the abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benwu.It turned out that on that day, the abbot of Guoqing Temple completely denied the legend that had been passed down through the ages in front of Zen Master Benwu.

The abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benwu that the reason why they were able to confirm the preface of Luqiu Yin's poems and the recorded deeds were all fabricated rumors was because he had sorted out the notes handed down by the eminent monks of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in Guoqing Temple and found that those who lived in the same era No one has ever seen this eminent monk with his own eyes, this grotesque poetic monk "Han Shanzi"...

According to the notes of eminent monks, the incident started among the monks in the Xiangji Kitchen, and suddenly there was a strange man with "withered appearance, scattered cloth, crowned with birch bark, and wearing big wooden clogs, who would linger outside Guoqing Temple from time to time. "The strange thing, some people insisted to see it within three to five days, but no one could tell the face clearly, so that people panicked.

During that time, although the monks were terrified, they could only feel a shadowy figure, and they didn't know where it was. Only a crazy monk named Shide, who had no father and no mother, shouted that he could see "Han Shanzi" coming. In the corridor, he talked to himself, and the language was so eerie and cryptic, as if he was speaking a language that did not belong to this world.

Every day I pick up leftovers from the monks, store them in bamboo tubes and put them under the porch, and the bamboo tubes disappear in Pingming. The monks think it is supernatural.Occasionally, I picked it up and told people that "Hanshanzi" came from outside the sky, with the signs of the five turbidity and evil world, saying that the world is impermanent, the country is fragile, and the catastrophe of Baiyang is coming. When the mountain will sink and the ocean will rise, All living beings will cease to exist.

As time passed, Shide became even more insane. The monks of Guoqing Temple vaguely saw in the dim moonlight that there seemed to be really withered people "walking slowly in the corridors, sometimes screaming, and cursing at the sky", and Shide would follow him and curse at the sky , clamoring Dadan.

You must know that Guoqing Temple is located at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, there are very few villagers nearby, and it is extremely quiet at night. Two unknown voices shouted suddenly, like thunder on the ground, and the entire temple was panicked.The monks couldn't bear it, so they came out to criticize him and drive him away, and they didn't refute and fight back when they picked him up. They clapped their hands and laughed secretly, and then walked away.

Later, Shide's behavior became more and more weird, and he became more and more disrespectful to many Buddha statues, always saying that "Han Shanzi" was coming to pick him up.

Shide used to work in the hall of the Zhaitang, but one day he suddenly took his seat in the Daxiong Hall, and had a meal with the Buddha in front of the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.Another day, pointing to the statues of the Arhats, he shouted: "Kai Chenru! You little fruit of the sound and hearing!" Then he gesticulated with his chopsticks as if no one else was there, and laughed loudly.Another time, the food in the kitchen was stolen by crows, and when they picked it up, they scolded the protector Jialan for failing to fulfill his duties, and even beat the holy image with a wooden stick.

The eminent monk of Guoqing Temple saw that the situation was getting more and more weird, so he locked Shide in the firewood room and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Soon, he found a message from the mountain people that a wandering monk from Yanzhao stayed overnight ten years ago. He was also dressed in the same way, but his absurd behavior made the monks impatient, so he chased and beat him with a stick, and finally died of his injuries on the cold rock. Burial, buried somewhere cold rock.

The last time the monks saw Shide, he uncuffed for some reason, came to Xiangji Kitchen to sit down, and fasted as usual.Then he picked up and put down the bowls and chopsticks, cursing "thief! thief!", and walked out of the temple gate with a haggard appearance and ragged clothes, chanting absurd and terrifying scriptures, his feet gradually flying in the air, and went straight to the temple Going to the cold rock in the north, going faster and faster until the monks couldn't catch up...

When the people from Guoqing Temple chased Han Yan back then, they had disappeared long ago.And on the cold rock, the monks found that the nearby mountain was facing a cliff, with many vines and vines, short bamboos growing between them, and even a huge boulder covered with moss and ocher black. In the rock, and the cliff is slowly escaping the rock.

The monks stood there dumbfounded. Among the countless mountains, rocks, trees, and walls of deserted houses, people felt a sense of dizziness and horror. The depths of the whole cold rock were filled with all kinds of obscure and difficult ancient seal characters, and the characters were very ancient. Later generations transcribed and studied it for a long time, but none of the county officials knew it.

According to the biography of Shide in "Quan Tang Poetry", "...the monk in the temple was collecting salary at Nanfeng. He saw a monk entering the rock, picking up the clavicle bone, and he picked up the relics. He knew that this rock died, because it was named Shideyan. . ” So far, the life and death of the picked up has been undoubtedly, but no one can know the authenticity of the life and death of "Han Shanzi".

Jiang Wen suddenly remembered that until later generations, Han Shan's existence seemed to be a mystery. Many people tried to verify it, but they couldn't even find out the exact date of his life.

"Abbot Hongbian, as you said, Han Shan is a trance-like person, and is the collection of poems true or false? He has never been seen by anyone, so how did this "Han Shan Kung Fu" come into existence in later generations?"

"Most of the "Han Shanzi Poetry Collection" has descendants attached to it, but 'Han Shanzi' has disappeared since then, it's not that no one has seen it, it's just that there are only a few people in ancient times, and the words are unclear..."

The old monk recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, as if he was considering whether Jiang Wen was suitable for receiving this message. After much thought, he finally replied: "Luqiu's records are absurd and unsignificant, close to a novel of blind words. If you must test the facts, rather than believe in Luqiu's For the pseudo-preface, it is better to believe in Guangting's "Supplementary Relics", the date and source of the Xuling Mansion recorded by Guangting can be tested, and it is in the same order as Hanshan."

Jiang Wen was lost in thought.

According to Abbot Hongbian, Lu Qiuyin's "Preface to Hanshanzi Poetry Collection" has been researched in detail by many good people, and they have discovered the places where it is perfunctory, such as the fallacy of the county name in the Tang Dynasty, the inaccuracy of Luqiuyin's official position accessories, The difference in time before and after, the doubts about the collection of Han Shan's poems, the illusion of Han Shan's disappearance, etc., basically prove that it is a fake work of later generations.

The only convincing records in the same period came from the writings of Du Guangting, a Taoist leader in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, who had been spreading Taoism for [-] years in Shu.

His "Xian Zhuan Supplements" records that when Xu Lingfu, a Taoist priest of Gaozhen in the Tang Wuzong period, came to Tiantai Mountain, he once saw "Hanshanzi" in the mountain, saying that it was "strange and mysterious, and the world cannot tolerate it", so "Tongbai Zhengjun Xu Lingfu, collected in preface, divided into three volumes, travels in the world", that is to say, he went to the Hanyan area to collect Hanshan poems in person, and unraveled the mystery of the ancient seal script, and then "the good things will be recorded later" , with more than three hundred poems", which became the current "Han Shanzi Poetry Collection".

In addition to this, the "Cold Mountain Kungfu" obtained by Xu Lingfu was also handed down to Du Guangting. Among the rivers and lakes.

"Any talk about immortals is too ridiculous. Abbot Hongbian, has anyone else seen 'Han Shanzi'?"

Jiang Wen asked suddenly, as if he was a little impatient with the conversation turning to Suo Yin Ji Gu, and asked for more details.

Master Anren was silent for a while, and finally replied slowly: "From Tang to Yuan, why is there only one person who has seen it!"

Master Anren apparently also visited the traces picked up by Han Shan, telling that Xu Lingfu is not the only person who has seen "Han Shanzi".

First of all, there is Xu Ning, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, who recorded "Han Shanzi" No.1 with poems, and is also the only Tang Dynasty poet who is suspected to have seen Han Shanzi before his death.Xu Ninghuai retired to the mountains and forests after she failed to meet her talent. She wrote in Wujue "Send a scholar back from the cold rock": "I don't wear silk clothes, and I return to the cold rock to live. On a snowy night in the cold rock, I cross the Yanqian River." It seems to be rewarding " Han Shanzi's visit.

And until the Song Dynasty a hundred years later, there were still people who met "Han Shanzi" unexpectedly.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Zhuan Ziyue, who worked in Yuyao, Yuezhou, also claimed to have encountered "Hanshanzi" in Tiantai Mountain. He refused to answer all the details, and then his temperament changed drastically and he believed in Buddhism.Yang Shi, a great Confucian of Chengmen Lixue, also mentioned in the "Epitaph of Li Ziyue" written for him in the spring and Autumn style: "The public taboo writing, the word Ziyue, the surname Li, the descendants of the kings of the Tang Dynasty... Zeng Du Ye Hanshanzi... Gongwan was especially deep in Buddhism, and his family members secretly blamed it, so they dared not ask. A handwritten "Hanshan Poetry", if the meaning is to show the masters, it is probably to attack the evil of others and cut down the goodness of oneself as a warning... ..."

For this reason, the Zen master Benwu climbed up the cold rock in the southwest of the temple, and found that the halfway up the mountain was like a thunderclap. An encounter was found.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yan Hui, a painter who worked on ghosts and ghosts, had weird brushwork. He also hid a strange painting in the mountains. It seemed to be the creepy scene where he encountered Hanshan and picked up a broken face and laughed in the darkness of the mountains. Finally, this painting It was copied by Zen Master Benwu and returned to Xitan Temple, where it was quietly hidden and carved in a stone cave...

""Han Shan Gong" is just like "Han Shan Zi". It is difficult for ordinary people to meet, but if someone encounters it, he will linger like a shadow. Therefore, the old monk claims to have practiced hard for decades, but in fact he has not achieved a single day. It is a destiny."

The Venerable Master Anren spoke with a lot of ambiguity. He looked up at Jiang Wen with his clear and sad face, and said, "The origin of "Cold Mountain Kungfu" is still from the Huazang world in the Huayan Sutra. Pearls contain each other, shadows and shadows intertwine, overlap endlessly, and confuse cause and effect, so it can stop the practice of old monks, but it is of no benefit to ordinary people."

Jiang Wen was horrified. He didn't expect that the Buddhist kung fu in Tiantai Mountain would have such evil ways. It seems that being good at going astray is not the patent of Southern Shaolin, and Xitan Temple was also terrorized because there was no Zen master to operate it. Ti ghosts and other Xiyi things are entangled and cannot be freed.

In order to stop the fighting of internal energy in the internal organs, I mistakenly ingested Master An Ren's cold mountain internal energy. As a result, the old monk's internal energy was exhausted and he was fine, but my own energy was greatly damaged because of being entangled in the cold mountain internal energy...

"Masters, Jiang is completely confused now. Is this Jizushan Xitan Temple a Buddhist country? How do you think about what you two mean? The intention of avoiding fear is greater than the heart of worshiping Buddha?"

Jiang Wen was going to make a joke, but Abbot Hongbian still saluted Jiang Wen solemnly, Master Anren also accompanied him, the waving of the monk's robe caused the candle lamp to shake, and countless phantoms appeared in an instant.

"Amitabha, I am afraid that the fearful ghosts encountered in Tanyue are just the tip of the iceberg. This Jizu Mountain is certainly a Buddha country opened up in the sky and a city transformed from the earth, but as the "Vimalakirti Sutra" says, there are many kings of demons in the world of the ten directions. This is the Bodhisattva who lives in inconceivable liberation. Anyone who can beg for the marrow and brain of brothers, feet, heads, and heads, and who speaks like this, is the Bodhisattva who lives in inconceivable liberation."

Abbot Hongbian's eloquence is not hindered, and he already has the ability to spread the lotus flower with his tongue, but what he said makes people feel goosebumps all over his body, "The great Bodhisattva and good teachers often turn into magic things, so that people can never retreat. In the eyes of both of them, there are Bodhisattvas..."

Jiang Wen felt his scalp tingling more and more as he listened, a cold feeling grew and spread from the bottom of his heart, and the feeling of suddenness in his heart arrived together with the cold feeling—no wonder these two old monks were strange everywhere, and they insisted that Jizu Mountain was "Buddhist Kingdom" originally meant this!
"...It turns out that in the eyes of the two of you, the Buddhist kingdom in the world illuminated by the Buddha's light is no different from the immeasurable demon kingdom filled with demonic energy..."

To use a metaphor, it is like an obedient and diligent cow, which also needs to be spurred occasionally.The purpose of the whip holder is not to torture the cow, but to make it move forward better, but if the cow cannot withstand the torture and dies, is this good or bad?If a person really sacrificed his siblings, head, marrow and brain to death, would the bodhisattva in front of him be considered good or evil?

I didn't intend to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, what kind of place did I come to by mistake? !

The two old monks clasped their palms together and recited the scriptures. After saying this, they seemed to have relieved the burden in their hearts, and finally said to Jiang Wen.

"Jiang Tanyue, the old monk has already ordered Pinzhao to wait at the foot of the mountain. I am afraid that only Pinzhao's predestined relationship can resolve the fact that the benefactor is now unconscious—it's just that this child hopes for supernatural powers, and he doesn't know impermanence, but he doesn't know that all dharmas and emptiness are dreams. , supernatural powers are illusions in the end, and the benefactors are mostly exhortations."

Jiang Wen nodded slowly, knowing that the old monk's advice might have broken some kind of commandment, but he didn't know where Pinzhao would take him, and how to wake Luo Shuang'er.

Jiang Wen pushed open the window, only to feel that this Heavenly Buddha Kingdom is full of demonic energy, and the ground is full of bones. He doesn't know what is waiting for him in front of him, but there is no room for retreat behind him. Longtan and Tiger's Den should also be investigated.

"Tanyue, Xitan Temple is now in good condition, and the old monk has his own way to deal with it. If the female benefactor can wake up smoothly, you two should not step into Xitan Temple again. From today on, Jizu Mountain is becoming more and more dangerous. How precious..."

"Amitabha……"

　I don’t know what to say, so I secretly ask for a monthly pass (=ω)
