[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

The two left Xiaoxiangling and headed south all the way, but they didn't meet Yang Xiao for more than ten days.Fang Tianzhi's internal injuries gradually improved, and he passed by the small temple in the mountain, and went inside to worship Buddha as usual.He was in a hurry when he left, and all the salutes were left at Lingyun Temple, and now he and the monks bought new monk clothes to change into.The tea-brown monk's robe was inconspicuous at all, and with a bamboo hat on his head, he was indistinguishable from the crowd, making him indistinguishable from ordinary passers-by.

It's just that Lingfeng doesn't know what's going on in the forest of Leshan Mountain now, Fang Tianzhi thinks again, it was a wild tiger in the past, and it was still ruling the Bifeng Gorge a month ago, so it should be living a very nourishing life.For now, the only way to do it is to wait for the injury to improve, and when escorting Ji Xiaofu back to Emei, pass by Leshan, and then bring Ji Xiaofu to his side.

After another ten days, Fang Tianzhi's internal injuries had all healed. He had started to heal Ji Xiaofu many days ago, and she was protected by the Emei Nine Sun Kung Fu. Even faster.At this time, the two had already entered the territory of Yunnan and passed Jianchuan. Ji Xiaofu took good care of him all the way, being gentle and considerate, and nothing was wrong, which made Fang Tianzhi even more at a loss as to how to deal with it, so he stayed in the inn that day. After settling down, he said to Ji Xiaofu: "The poor monk's internal injuries have all healed, and he is not afraid of Yang Xiao when he meets him. Why don't we escort you back to Emei before parting, so that you won't be disturbed by him again. Later Ji The heroine is traveling outside, Wan Wang be careful, and go with the sisters of the teacher, and don't be alone anymore."

Ji Xiaofu lowered her head when she heard the words, and asked after a while: "...Where are you going next?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "I don't have any plans, maybe continue to travel southwest."

Ji Xiaofu raised her head and smiled slightly: "Now that we have arrived in Dali, I can see that you can visit all the temples and worship Buddha along the way. Now that Jizu Mountain is in front of you, why not wander around for two days before turning back to Emei."

Jizu Mountain has been as famous as Wutai, Emei, Putuo, and Jiuhua Mountains since ancient times. It is said that Shakyamuni’s great disciple, drinking light Kasyapa monk, once carried a gold ragged cassock and brought relics and Buddha teeth to enter meditation here①, so this place has become a famous place. Buddhist holy places in the world.Ji Xiaofu's reason was irresistible, Fang Tianzhi hesitated for a while, and finally let go: "That's fine."

The two went south again, and within two days, they arrived at the foot of Jizu Mountain at noon.After crossing Jianchuan, the terrain along the way has become high and wide, with more and more sunny days and no more rainy days.The farther you go south, the more you will see white clouds thousands of miles away, and clear streams reflecting flowers.Now it is the twelfth lunar month, Shaoshi Mountain may be covered with snow and frost, but this place seems to be just like spring, which makes people feel happy.

Fang Tianzhi was walking at the foot of the mountain, and saw the majestic peaks meandering and green for thousands of miles. The mountain seemed to be cut down by a magic axe, and it was broken into three sections. The deep ravine was formed by nature, and it became the shape of a chicken's foot.Looking up, you can see the pine waves, the white mist is like a stream, and its peak cannot be seen from the height; at the foot of the mountain, flowers are blooming everywhere, and the Xitan River flows like a jade belt. From a distance, you can faintly see temples scattered along the river, just like stars falling on jade. The green tiles and golden roofs are endless, and the prosperity of Buddhist affairs can be seen.Seeing this beautiful scenery, even the gods should feel refreshed, let alone mortals.Fang and Ji walked slowly while admiring the scenery, chatting on the green grass, while the forest was quiet, occasionally a warbler came out and disappeared.Seeing that she was approaching a temple, Ji Xiaofu suddenly stopped.

Fang Tianzhi looked back and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

The clear water beside the river is gurgling and sparkling with golden light, and Ji Xiaofu's snow-white clothes are reflected in it, and her graceful figure seems to be washed away by the flowing water, and can barely be condensed in the rippling waves.She stared blankly at the flowing water, and said with a smile, "This place is really beautiful. If I can build a small house here, weave during the day, watch the clouds and flowers at night, play the piano and sing, then I will be a fairy, and I will not change it." .”

Thinking of that scene, Fang Tianzhi couldn't help feeling moving: "The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes originally planned to make their homes all over the world. If Ji Nuxia likes it, she can stay here, why not."

Ji Xiaofu glanced at him when he heard the words, and said with a slight smile, "Yes." After saying that, she pointed to the front, "Let's go ahead and worship Buddha."

The two of them entered Zunsheng Pagoda Courtyard, passed Xitan Monastery, and went away from the river to a higher place.After turning around an unknown forest and rounding a mountain wall, a small hillside suddenly appeared in front of him, Ji Xiaofu immediately said "ah" with joy.I saw the green grass on the slope, and the camellias in full bloom in the clusters.The two of them walked among the flowers, only to feel the floating fragrance lingering, flowing quietly like water waves. Countless flowers, half hidden and half exposed among the clear branches and leaves, are pink and white, goose yellow jasper, and there are countless varieties. Looking from a distance, the flowers and colors are delicate It is as beautiful as clouds, endlessly charming, just like a fairyland on earth.

Like many girls in this world, Ji Xiaofu loves flowers very much. When she enters the camellia forest, she runs away a little bit, entangles in the flowers from Fang Tian to the left, and somehow comes out from the right again. She is not as gentle as usual. Demure, with a little bit of liveliness.Fang Tianzhi couldn't help but find it interesting, and when she heard her asking what the name of this flower was and whether that flower looked good, he answered her one by one with a smile.As he was walking, Fang Tianzhi saw a tree of snow-white flowers in his eyes, and couldn't help but stop to watch. Ji Xiaofu looked back and saw it, and walked to his side. The color of rouge, some wisps and some dots, are extremely romantic and lovely.She couldn't help but looked up at him and asked, "What's the name of this kind?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "The name of this flower is Bai Chang'e Cai." Looking at it, he glanced at Ji Xiaofu, and saw that her face was as delicate as snow, and the shadows of the flowers covered the trees. The color is fragrant.

Seeing him smiling, Ji Xiaofu couldn't help but tilt her head slightly: "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Tianzhi pointed to a white Chang'e flower, and said, "This one is very similar to you." Ji Xiaofu followed and looked, only to see that there was only a touch of rouge on the white jade-like blooming flowers. One point, it immediately reminds people of the cinnabar mole on the beauty's face.She looked at the flowers, thought about his words, and suddenly felt that the camellias all over the mountains and plains were nothing more than this, only this kind of flower was different.

But Fang Tianzhi regretted his words as soon as he uttered them. He thought about it, changed the subject bravely and said, "Amitabha, let's move on."

There was no change in Ji Xiaofu's face, she just nodded and said: "Okay." As she walked, she seemed unconscious, just like the first one, when she saw beautiful flowers, she asked Fang Tianzhi.But after a while, the two walked out of the camellia forest, and there was a bluestone step at their feet. Looking up the green step, the trees on both sides were quiet, and the twists and turns knew no end.Ji Xiaofu was about to go up, but Fang Tianzhi suddenly turned his head and looked down. After a while, a huge stone statue appeared from the end of the downward bend. Looking carefully, it was actually Shakyamuni Buddha head.

How could the stone Buddha head move by itself?Ji Xiaofu was surprised, but saw the Buddha's head swayed up and down, and a section of neck protruded again. After a while, the whole body was gradually exposed. At this time, the two of them saw a person under the huge stone Buddha. .The man had a bald head, was wearing a red-brown cassock, and his waist was deeply bowed. He was carrying the big stone Buddha statue with great pains, and his hands were folded on his chest. His appearance was very pious. He was a lama.

The stone statue was two or three times bigger than himself, almost weighing a thousand catties. He carried the stone statue and walked very slowly, every step made the stone steps sink slightly.Seeing this scene, Fang Tianzhi couldn't help feeling curious, so he stepped forward and asked, "Amitabha, may I ask for the name of the Master?"

Hearing the words, the lama raised his head and looked at him in confusion, only to see that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and a rather sad expression.Seeing that Fang Tianzhi was also a monk, he opened his mouth and spoke fluent Chinese: "Little monk Lunzhu Dorji, how dare you ask the Master?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "The poor monk realizes his intentions. Where did the mage come from, and why did he carry the stone Buddha forward?"

Lunzhu Dorje replied: "The little monk came from Tubo and went to the Sleeping Buddha Temple. The master didn't know something. According to the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, every year of the rooster, monks from all over the place would come to the Jizu Mountain with Buddhist scriptures and statues. Pilgrimage. This year, the monk thought that his martial arts has improved, so he replaced it with a bigger Buddha statue, but unexpectedly, he was too weak and almost missed it." He said, passing by Fang Tianzhi, and said, "Oh, please give way, I'm afraid If you don’t take a good step, you’re going to fall.”

Fang Tianzhi and Ji Xiaofu hurried to the side dirt road and let him get out of the way of the stone steps.This Lunzhu Dorje took another step, probably because he lost control of his strength for a while, he stepped on a piece of the stone step.Fang Tianzhi respected him, put his palms together and bowed to him, saying: "Master's heart is pious, which is admirable."

But Lunzhu Dorje said with a sad face: "Oh, the little monk is not diligent in the Dharma. He always thinks that he can't figure it out. He is reprimanded by the master every year. It seems that his heart to the Buddha is not pious enough, so every three years he tries his best to hunch his head. The giant statue of Buddha came to pay homage to the holy place, and I hope that the Buddha will show mercy and enlighten me soon.”

Fang Tianzhi didn't know much about Tibetan Buddhism, so he couldn't help asking.Lunju Dorje told him one by one.

It turns out that there are many branches of Tibetan Buddhism, one of which is the Kagyu sect.In the Kagyu sect, there was once an eminent monk named Dabolaje, who combined the legal codes of other sects and wrote the "Adornment of Liberation in the Stage of the Path", creating the Dabu Kagyu sect with unique rules.The Dabu Kagyu Sect developed and prospered in Tibet, forming the "Four Lines and Eight Branches". Now it is enshrined by the imperial court, and the guru who leads the political affairs of Tibet is also an eminent monk of one of the branches.

This Lunzhu Dorje is a lama of the Kagyu sect, who has practiced in Drigung Monastery since he was born.He is simple in nature and has good bones. He is the youngest closed disciple of his master. He has been personally taught the supreme esoteric light mahamudra. He has already practiced to the fifth level at a young age, and he is highly expected by everyone in the temple.

However, Lunzhu Dorji has practiced martial arts neatly, but he can't figure out Buddhism.The Kagyu sect lays particular emphasis on the practice of Tantric Buddhism. It pays attention to the effect and the cause. It believes that everyone is born with a bodhicitta. All living beings are in deep suffering and urgently need someone to save them. The monks should act immediately and give a helping hand. Practice is practice. Slowly you can become enlightened and become a Buddha.However, Lunzhu Dorje always feels that he still has an ordinary heart, and he must first cultivate his ordinary heart into Bodhicitta, so that he can act according to the will of the Buddha all the time.And since the Buddha's heart has not yet been achieved, my current wisdom is not enough to save all living beings, so I can't help but feel sincere and fearful all the time, thinking that I am not competent.He didn't dare to tell his master about this idea at first, but when his master saw that his practice of Mahamudra was getting slower and slower, and found something wrong and asked him, he couldn't help being surprised, and he didn't know when this little apprentice's thinking was twisted to the practice of Sutra .

It should be known that although both Sutra and Tantrism practice Mahamudra, they are completely different training methods.The little apprentice's thinking went astray, and the Guangming Mahamudra naturally gradually became difficult to practice. That is to say, he is very talented and has profound skills. He has only progressed slowly in the past few years, otherwise he would have gone mad.However, at this time Lunzhu Dorje's thoughts were already deeply ingrained, and it was difficult to change easily, and his master could not explain him anyway.Lunzhu Dorje was in pain and helpless, so once every three years, the Negative Stone Buddha came to Jizu Mountain to worship, hoping that the Buddha would point out the maze.

After Fang Tianzhi heard it, he couldn't help thinking, if this lama had practiced in the religious sect since he was born, he might have achieved more than that. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and monks are also afraid of entering the wrong profession!He himself always felt that he entered the Shaolin Temple to practice and was beaten into a dog, and he also vaguely seemed to enter the wrong sect, but the matter has come to this point, what can he do?Fortunately, he has gotten used to this style of painting over the years, but this Lunzhu Dorje has not yet recognized the facts.Seeing the sad look on his face, Fang Tianzhi couldn't help but understand the depression in his heart a little bit, so he explained: "Xianzong and Tantric sects have different practices, but they are all Buddhist teachings. If you really think it doesn't make sense, why don't you learn more about the Xuanzong and Tantric sects? religious doctrine."

Lunzhu Dorje immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, no. My master has high hopes for me, so how can I think wildly. The spirit of the teachings is just that I am dull and can't figure it out for a while."

The two talked a few more words, and suddenly two monks turned out from the end of the green steps on the mountain. When they saw Lunzhu Dorji, they couldn't help rushing forward, and said bitterly, "Oh, why are you here again?" Huh?" Looking back, he saw that many stone steps were broken. This is just what he saw, and there are many others that he didn't see. He couldn't help but want to reprimand him, but when he saw the Buddha on his back, his words choked up again. In the throat, only one sentence was finally uttered, "Amitabha!"

Lunzhu Dorji also had a look of shame on his face, and said: "I would like to build this stone step for the temple, if you bother me, please Master Haihan!"

The two monks said wistfully, "There's no need to do that, the elders in the temple have already explained."

Fang Tianzhi felt emotional in his heart, but he had nothing to say, so he said goodbye to Lunzhu Dorje: "The poor monk went up the mountain first, and when we meet again by fate, I hope the mage is already enlightened!"

When it came time to say goodbye, Ji Xiaofu didn't intervene.The two went up the stairs again, and after paying homage to the Buddha at the Temple of the Sleeping Buddha, she took out an extra ingot of silver and enshrined it in the merit box.When Fang Tianzhi saw it, he couldn't help but be heartbroken, he obviously belonged to the Buddhist sect, and the female disciples of the Emei Sect were traveling outside, how could they be so rich, it's enviable!Seeing his gaze, Ji Xiaofu couldn't help smiling and said, "Master Lunzhu Dorje is very sincere in serving the Buddha, and the Sleeping Buddha Temple is also admirable. I can't help you, so I have to leave a little more heart."

Fang Tianzhi could only sigh and said, "Amitabha!"

After passing Sleeping Buddha Temple, after a short walk, the two arrived at the foot of Tianzhu Peak.Cangshan is tens of thousands of feet, ancient trees are like clouds, deep green overlaps like the sea, and the white clouds are only between the mountainsides.Among the clouds and shadows floating, you can vaguely see some phantoms of houses, which is supposed to be the Jinying Temple.Together they climbed to the halfway up the mountain, and suddenly they saw a wide platform with a bright view.I saw the sea of ​​clouds churning, the cliffs were unfathomable, and not far away, there were mountains on top of mountains.At the foot of the mountain, there is a temple with clouds and trees.The two of them went to the temple to worship Buddha as usual, but someone in the temple heard that Fang Tianzhi was a monk of the Yuan generation of Shaolin, so he specially came to accompany him.

The man was a middle-aged monk in his 50s, whose Dharma name was Jiaming. He was kind-hearted and very happy.After he accompanied Fang Tianzhi and the two to visit the monastery, he specially led people to the south of Tianzhu Peak, saying: "Let's go to the southwest, please Master Yuanyi and Ji Shizhu to see a spectacle." Saying that, the three of them had already circled a mountain On the wall, in the open place with few trees, I suddenly saw a huge stone screen standing on the edge of the cliff in the distance. The stones in the gap are like locks, making the stone screen like a heavenly gate leading to the heavens.

Jiaming said: "This stone gate is called Huashou Gate, and it is the place where Venerable Kasyapa, who drank the light, entered meditation. The terrain is so high that you can almost overlook the surrounding mountains. If there is heavy rain in the distance in summer and autumn, this place is still It’s sunny, but the sound of thunder can only be heard, so there is a temple called Huashou Qinglei. There was an eminent monk in this temple who listened to the thunder here, so he realized his profound enlightenment and achieved a profound Buddhist teaching.”

Fang Tianzhi couldn't help clasping his hands together, and said respectfully, "That's great!"

Jiaming returned the salute with a smile, and said to the two of them: "It's getting late, you two might as well go back to the temple and have some fast food."

In the early morning of the second day, Fang Tianzhi and Ji Xiaofu said goodbye to the elders of the temple, finally ended the trip to Jizu Mountain, turned back and headed north to Emei.At this time, the internal injuries of the two men had healed, and they traveled faster than when they came here. They returned to the foot of Leshan in less than a month.Revisiting the old place, on the Great Maitreya Buddha by the Qingyi River, the Buddhist pavilion is still damaged, and it has not yet been repaired in time.Fang Tianzhi went to Lingyun Temple to apologize to the elders of the temple first, for the sake of Ji Xiaofu's reputation, he didn't give any specific reason, only said that he would come back after a while.

After saying that, he took Ji Xiaofu and let out a long howl at the forest entrance behind the temple. The howling sound rolled out, startling countless flying birds.Ji Xiaofu couldn't help but raised his hands to cover his ears, but Fang Tianzhi let out three long whistles before stopping. In order to save people, he had no choice but to throw Lingfeng in Leshan. Now that it has entered the forest, it may not be willing to return. , come here to call it just to try.

Fang Tianzhi waited for a while, and was about to say "Let's go" to Ji Xiaofu, but suddenly saw a white shadow emerge from the stacked trees, and after a while, Lingfeng came out of the forest.As soon as it appeared, it roared loudly, and suddenly rushed towards Fang Tianzhi unexpectedly.

Ji Xiaofu was startled, and couldn't help saying: "Be careful!"

And Fang Tianzhi laughed loudly, raised his arms forward, and just held Lingfeng's two front paws in his hands.Lingfeng bit Fang Tianzhi's bald head with a bloody mouth, but within a few millimeters, it didn't bite down. It opened its mouth and yawned again, stretched out its tongue and licked its own nose. Zhi pulled out two claws in his hand and scratched the ground.

Fang Tianzhi was extremely happy, he didn't expect Lingfeng to come out, he couldn't help patting its head very lovingly, but Lingfeng dodged it after only touching it.It walked half a circle around Ji Xiaofu, tilted its head to look at her, then turned and walked back to Fang Tianzhi's side.

Fang Tianzhi smiled and said, "It's no wonder it is willing to continue following me. Let's go to Emei now."

Seeing him happy, Ji Xiaofu was also happy.It is conceivable to turn back to Emei, but to be melancholy again.The thoughts of the two phases were intertwined, and she felt so tender, and there was no one to complain to, but she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "Okay."

Mount Emei is quite close to this place, we arrived within a day or two, and we didn't see Yang Xiao along the way. Fang Tian was finally able to retire, so he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. This day is convenient for saying goodbye to Ji Xiaofu at the foot of Mount Emei: "Injured for many days, thanks to Ji Nvxia to take care of her, the poor monk is very grateful."

Ji Xiaofu smiled again.Along the way, she talked less and less. If Fang Tianzhi knew something in his heart, he couldn't say it clearly.She listened to his words of thanks at this time, but she didn't humbly refuse, she just said suddenly: "I remember that there used to be a bunch of bodhi seeds on your right wrist. But since you fell off the cliff on Xiaoxiangling that day, there has been no more. I've seen it. Is it lost?"

Speaking of the bracelet, it was given to Fang Tian by his mentor Kong Ming when he was five years old. He has been wearing it close to his body for 13 years and has never taken it off.The situation was critical that day, and he had nothing else to use, so in order to stop Wei Yixiao, he had no choice but to throw it away. Fang Tianzhi thought afterwards that although he didn't regret it, he felt distressed.But when she asked about it, she only said: "Using it as a hidden weapon is just a trivial matter, Ji Nuxia doesn't need to worry about it."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaofu lowered her head and opened the sachet, and took out a bodhi bracelet from it.

The bodhi seeds on the bracelet are all snow-white, and their shape is like an unbloomed lotus flower, which is quite clear and wonderful.Fang Tianzhi couldn't help being startled, he really didn't know when she bought this thing.But Ji Xiaofu said: "I broke a bracelet of yours, Xiaofu feels very sorry, this string of bodhi seeds, Master, don't refuse."

Ji Xiaofu never called Fang Tianzhi "Master" or "Master", and if she had to address him, she would only call him "You".Now she actually opened her mouth to call out like this, the words were reasonable and only filled with gratitude, Fang Tianzhi opened his mouth, remained silent for a while, and finally took it with both hands: "Thank you."

Seeing that he accepted it, Ji Xiaofu couldn't help smiling, and said: "I heard you play the flute on the river that day, and thought it was very pleasant. Farewell is imminent, and the mountains and rivers will be long in the future, and we may never see each other again. Master's flute, Can you part with each other?"

This flute is just an ordinary bamboo flute. Fang Tianzhi bought 1 of them with 100 point on the river that day, and now there are 99 of them stored in the system.This farewell, Ji Xiaofu's words were quite meaningful, as if she was making a decision.After thinking about it, Fang Tianzhi couldn't bear to refuse her, so he took out the flute from his bag and handed it to her.

Just at this time, the clouds and mists in the sky were getting thicker, and it started to rain when it said it was raining.The rain was not heavy, it was hazy and pattering, and it slowly wetted the trees and flowers at the foot of the mountain, as well as the black hair on Ji Xiaofu's temples.

Fang Tianzhi took off the hat from behind and said, "Put it on."

Ji Xiaofu clenched the flute covered in drizzle with her right hand, and couldn't help laughing when she heard the words. After laughing, she took the bamboo hat and said in an extremely gentle and beautiful voice, "Thank you." She took it, but But he didn't wear it, he just held it on his chest.

Finally, with a sweet smile at him, Ji Xiaofu turned around suddenly, and went up Mount Emei without saying goodbye.

Fang Tianzhi watched her lavender figure slowly climb up the steps.

She didn't look back, just holding the flute and bamboo hat like that, and gradually disappeared into the deep forest under the misty rain.

Fang Tianzhi stood by himself for a while, while Lingfeng beside him suddenly shook his hair and yawned.He came back to his senses and said to it: "Let's go!" After speaking, he put on the rain and headed towards Leshan.
