I'm the best catcher in martial arts

There are four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, which correspond to the four famous mountains in the Central Plains. Shen Lian is not very clear about this correspondence, which one started first.

Shen Lian only knew that the four famous mountains were the dojos of the four Bodhisattvas, and they all had strong Buddhist culture.

Mount Wutai is the dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, Mount Putuo is the dojo of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Mount Jiuhua is the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Mount Emei is about to arrive...

——Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!

The four great Bodhisattvas respectively represent wisdom, compassion and aspiration.

Manjusri represents wisdom, the roar of a lion is a wake-up call, he holds the sword of wisdom to slay the inner demons, and takes the heart as precepts. Precepts produce concentration, and concentration produces wisdom. He is pure and untainted and benefits others.

Avalokitesvara represents compassion. This is best understood as the compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. However, as Buddhism spreads in the Central Plains, Avalokitesvara can basically control everything.

Ksitigarbha expresses the power of vows and makes great vows. The famous vow that hell will not be empty and that he will never become a Buddha is his representative.

Samantabhadra represents practice, rationality, and conduct, which corresponds to the wisdom, virtue, and enlightenment of Manjushri Bodhisattva. If divided according to secular sects, it belongs to the first place in the Precepts Academy.

This is the simplest secular division. In fact, there are many ways to say it, but few people mention it.

Why?

Because the pilgrims don’t understand!

Buddhism is not a martial arts sect, but a religion for the common people. Who understands so much?

What does the pilgrim want to know?

What is the name of this Bodhisattva?

What’s the taboo about offering incense to Him?

What can Bodhisattva protect me?

Do you have any interesting Buddhist stories?

Question: How to attract pilgrims to burn incense and worship Buddha?

Answer: Speak people's words, handle people's affairs, and make people understand.

The guest-knowing monks in Mount Emei will certainly not preach to ordinary pilgrims the "Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva".

This sounds very profound. When the old lady of a wealthy family celebrates her birthday, he personally rushes to preach the scriptures and asks the old lady to donate sesame oil money!

The longer you hang out in the world, the more you will know how difficult it is to speak human language. If you add "handling people's affairs", it becomes even more difficult. If you add in "making people understand" and making people remember, it is simply rare. .

The most classic example is Jinshan Temple.

Ordinary people cannot remember Buddhist scriptures, but they can definitely remember the Legend of the White Snake. If you remember the Legend of the White Snake, you will remember Jinshan Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, and Fahai.

When traveling to Hangzhou, I walked to the edge of the West Lake and subconsciously wanted to see Jinshan Temple. When I arrived at the temple, I came here, so why should I burn three sticks of incense?

Shen Lian rambled on, and when he came to the memory points, he curled his lips slightly and said, "Puxian Bodhisattva obviously suffered a little loss. There are not many memory points."

Zhou Zhiruo invited Shen Lian to Emei as a guest, and Shen Lian naturally would not refuse. Most of his friends were not interested in it, but Feng Suzhen was the only one who was.

Apart from Shen Lian, the only people who came to Emei this time were Feng Siniang, Zuo Shi, and Feng Suzhen.

Shen Lian never stopped talking, introducing the customs, customs and folk culture of Shu to the three girls, from the myths and legends of Mount Emei to the essence of the spread of Buddhism.

Among the four major Bodhisattvas, Guanyin Bodhisattva has an unparalleled status in China and is the most popular. Manjushri Bodhisattva also has many legends. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has the most classic Buddhist vows, but Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is slightly worse.

Fortunately, Mount Emei is a famous mountain in the Central Plains, and the sunrise at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei is even more magnificent. Even if they are just visiting Mount Emei, there are many tourists who stop by to burn incense.

Zuo Shi couldn't help complaining: "Master Hou, you are going to worship the Bodhisattva. Isn't it a bit bad to talk nonsense here? Are you afraid of making the Bodhisattva angry?"

After hearing Zuo Shi's words, Feng Siniang and Feng Suzhen couldn't help but take a few steps away from Shen Lian, as if they were worried that Samantabhadra would punish them with thunder and harm them.

Shen Lian waved his hand: "No, no, the Bodhisattva is magnanimous and compassionate. How could he become angry just because of my nonsense?"

Feng Suzhen whispered: "Brother Shen, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva represents virtue. You just committed a verbal offense, and Bodhisattva can punish you. This is his... priestly duty."

Shen Lian: Is it too late to shut up now?

Third Girl: It’s too late, just wait to die, say goodbye!

…

Emei is the most beautiful place in the world.

The continuous Emei Mountains, with emerald clouds and black eyebrows, are like the eyebrows of a moth, and there are thousands of cliffs, as if they were cut by gods, like a bright mirror.

There are four main peaks in the Emei Mountains: Da'e Mountain, Er'e Mountain, San'e Mountain, and Si'e Mountain, as well as 72 side peaks such as Baozhang, Tianchi, Huayan, and Yunu.

When you climb to Emei, you can see hundreds of cliffs everywhere. After hundreds of millions of years of wind and sun, the rocks have been polished so smooth that it is difficult for apes and monkeys to cross. It is a wonder in the world.

The legend of "Sword Immortal of Shu Mountain" is due to these cliffs. According to old legend, a sword immortal flew his sword here to slay demons, leaving behind seventy-two ancient immortal caves.

As soon as Shen Lian and others arrived at Emei, the disciples of Emei Buddhism and Taoism were already welcoming them from a distance.

Daozong is headed by senior brother Zhang Yingfeng.

The leader of the Buddhist sect is Yin Xiuyun, the junior uncle.

Yin Xiuyun is the daughter of Yin Liting. When she was ten years old, she was sent to Emei to learn martial arts. Due to seniority issues, Zhou Zhiruo accepted apprentices on her behalf and was the junior uncle of the Emei Buddhist Sect.

Shen Lian had a slight impression of Yin Xiuyun. It is said that she inherited Yin Liting's swordsmanship talent. Her swordsmanship ranks first among the younger generation in Emei, and is better than the three heroes and four talents.

"I've been refining down there, and I've met you all."

"My Excellency, Feng Shaomin, I have met you all."

"This is Feng Shaomin and Feng Shaoxia? I heard that Feng Shaoxia inherited the Demon-Conquering Qin and is the best in the world. I wonder if you are lucky enough to hear Feng Shaoxia's music?"

Although Yin Xiuyun is older, she is about the same age as Shen Lian and others. She has a lively and playful personality, and her round eyes are very cute, much like the grown-up Qu Feiyan.

Hearing Yin Xiuyun's words, Ma Xiuzhen and Ye Xiuzhu looked over at the same time, thinking that he was Feng Shaomin, even more handsome than the rumors, and very elegant.

Feng Suzhen was a little embarrassed. Her men's clothes were really handsome, and coupled with Gao Zhuo's martial arts, she attracted many sideways glances and touched the hearts of countless female heroes.

Little did she know that originally, most of the female heroes in the Jianghu were relatively reserved, until word of the Zhaotong War spread...

Two of the best diamond kings and queens in the world have found lovers. If they don't take the initiative, the young and handsome young man with great martial arts skills will all be divided up.

Yin Xiuyun didn't have these thoughts. She just thought Jiangmo Qin was cool and Feng Shaomin was handsome.

Feng Suzhen hurriedly said: "Young lady, I only know a little about the piano and harp, but I am not the best in the world."

"If the Subduing Demonic Piano is not number one, who else can be called the number one? Is it the Heavenly Demonic Piano?"

"Hermits in the mountains and rivers, letting go of all earthly causes and effects, with a clear and empty heart, sit in the bamboo forest, play their own music, and express praise and praise for life from the heart. That is the most beautiful music of the piano. It’s a tune that comes naturally.”

Yin Xiuyun pouted and said: "You are so young, why do you speak so maturely? You look like an old man in his seventies or eighties, with no youthfulness at all."

Shen Lian immediately said: "The girl is right, my brother Feng is young and handsome, has strong martial arts skills, is very talented, and is the number one scholar. He is good at everything, but he has an older personality, like an old monk who has cultivated in the Qing Dynasty. "

Feng Suzhen: s(｀ヘ;)ゞ

I think you want to listen to the Demon-Conquering Qin!

I'm getting lively, can you handle it?

Zhang Yingfeng joked: "The old monks of Qingxiu in Mount Emei are not as handsome as Feng Shaoxia."

Feng Siniang pointed at Shen Lian and said, "I wonder if the monkeys in Mount Emei are so lively?"

Zhang Yingfeng said with a smile: "I have never seen a monkey that can lift an entire mountain, but I still have some stocks of Emei's monkey wine."

Monkey wine is a purely natural wine.

Monkeys store fresh fruits in autumn and winter. If there are a lot of fresh fruits, part of the fruits will ferment. Over time, they will be brewed into monkey wine bit by bit.

During the fermentation process, most of them will directly become rotten and rancid, and some will give birth to mosquitoes. Clean monkey wine is rare and is a rare treasure of nature.

Because the fruits stored are different and the fermentation time is too random, the monkey wine produced in different famous mountains is different. Even if the monkey group is the same, the monkey wine brewed is also different, and the taste is different.

The monkeys in Mount Emei are perhaps the most famous monkeys in the world. They are rich in monkey wine. Zhang Yingfeng searches for it in the mountains every year, specifically to entertain distinguished guests.

When Feng Siniang debuted, she once said she would ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, eat the spiciest food, drink the strongest wine, play with the sharpest knife, and kill the cruelest people!

She just mentioned the monkey group, not to tease Shen Lian, but to ask about the monkey wine.

Zhang Yingfeng, as the eldest brother of Daozong, was very familiar with the world of greetings and greetings. He heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and first praised Shen Lian a few words, and then expressed that he had something in stock.

Everyone chatted for a while and went up the mountain together.

There are four main peaks in the Emei Mountains. The Emei Buddhist Sect is in Da'E Mountain, the Emei Taoist Sect is in Er'E Mountain, and the other peaks are inhabited by experts who have cultivated in Emei.

Dugu Yihe once said that some of these masters are not below him and must not be provoked. Otherwise, if they are beaten outside, they will be beaten again when they come back.

Since it was Zhou Zhiruo who invited them, everyone should go to Mount Emei first. In fact, the Emei Buddhist Sect and the Emei Taoist Sect did not have much dispute and were very harmonious with each other.

In the eyes of many people, the Emei Sect's behavior is similar to dividing the family, either living without contact or fighting to death. At least there should be disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, right?

In fact, there is none of these.

If you want to practice Taoism, just practice Taoism.

If you are willing to practice Buddhism, then practice Buddhism.

Female disciples of the Taoist sect can go to the Buddhist sect to practice swordsmanship.

The head of the Buddhist sect practices Taoist secret scriptures.

To put it bluntly, although the two masters, Dugu Yihe and Zhou Zhiruo, are excellent in martial arts, their understanding of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist canons is really not that good.

Because I don’t understand, I don’t care.

If you know too much, you won't care.

Who would fight life and death?

Of course it’s those people who half understand!

Really virtuous monks and enlightened masters will not care about these things. They cannot even see through these things. How can they concentrate on cultivating Taoism and Buddhism with fame and fortune in mind?

The Emei Buddhist Sect is located on the Golden Summit of Emei, also known as the Top of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It is the highest peak in Emei and the most beautiful place in Emei. It has four wonders: sunrise, sea of ​​clouds, Buddha light, and magic lantern. It is a must-see for tourists.

Get up early to watch the sunrise, watch the sea of ​​clouds in the morning, watch the Buddha's light in the afternoon, and watch the magic lanterns in the evening. If you can fully see the four beautiful scenery, it means that tourists have great blessings.

Feng Siniang had been to Emei before, but she felt it was too lonely to watch the sunrise alone. The weather was bad, the sea of ​​clouds was not interesting, the Buddha's light and magic lamp did not flash, and she did not drink monkey wine. That time was in vain. .

Feng Suzhen asked curiously: "Brother Shen, what are the four wonders of the Golden Summit?"

Shen Lian explained: "First of all, the sunrise. I can't say that the Emei sunrise is the best in the world, but it is also ranked in the top ten or even the top five of many famous mountains and rivers.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the early morning, looking from the golden dome, I can see clouds and mist like the sea, sometimes like rolling waves, sometimes calm, it is really amazing and wonderful.

To view the Buddha's light in the afternoon, it must be a calm and sunny day. Looking down from the Sheshen Rock, you will see a colorful halo floating in the clouds. Your own figure is placed in the halo, and the shadows move with people and are not mutually exclusive. lose.

To view the magic lantern at night, it must be a dim moonlight night, with sparse stars and a pale moon, flickering firelight, alternating light and dark, and different sizes, just like the lights of thousands of houses.

The luckiest people can see the wonders of Emei in one day. The unlucky people can only see the sunrise at most even if they stay in Emei for several months.

No matter the vicissitudes of life, the sun will always rise in the early morning, bringing light to the world.

The sun and moon alternate, chaos becomes clear, this is the most primitive and most ancient wonder of nature. If you want to build a demon-conquering harp, you might as well watch the sunrise more often. "

Feng Siniang spat softly and said to herself that she was talking nonsense again. Don't I still understand you?

Feng Suzhen practiced the Demonic Qin just at the most sensitive moment of her mind. She could have an epiphany at any time. The mountains, rivers and vegetation are all inspirations. When she heard Shen Lian's words, she couldn't help but look forward to watching the sunrise over Emei.

Yin Xiuyun smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Shen is as strong as a ferocious beast and is best at moving mountains and unloading mountains. I didn't expect that he has such literary talent. It seems that the rumors are wrong."

Shen Lian hurriedly said: "According to seniority, you are my uncle, just call me by your name."

"I have a sect relationship with you?"

"Of course! My eldest brother Shen Yumen is Ming Zun's direct disciple. You and Ming Zun are the same generation, so naturally you are the junior uncle. There is no room for confusion in seniority."

How can there be no chaos in seniority?

The hierarchy of the Ming Cult has long been in chaos.

Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan are sworn brothers, Zhang Cuishan is Yin Tianzheng's son-in-law, and the four great Dharma kings of Mingjiao are considered brothers. How should this seniority be calculated?

Yang Buhui married Yin Liting, and Yang Xiao was directly one generation older than Yin Liting, the same generation as Zhang Sanfeng, two generations older than his own leader, and three generations older than Shen Lian.

This kind of thing is a mess, so don’t worry about it.

Shen Lian remembered that Li Mochou once had a quarrel with Huang Rong to compare their seniority. Li Mochou carried Lin Chaoying out, and Huang Rong said that Guo Jing and Zhou Botong were sworn brothers.

Seniority: Wang Chongyang = Lin Chaoying = Zhou Botong = Guo Jing = Huang Rong...

So Huang Rong and Lin Chaoying are the same generation.

Li Mochou was stunned on the spot!

Except when it comes to relationships, there’s no need to go into too much detail about this kind of thing, because it’s so messy!

Shen Lian is now in a relationship!

Multiple seniors and multiple paths!
