God Gu

The hot weather is getting more and more frenzied with the approach of midsummer, and the slightest movement will cause sweat all over the body, but the eighteen dark and huge sinking porcelain vats in the courtyard of Shaolin Temple are filled with cool stream water every day, which is taken from the deep forest of Shaoshi Mountain The mountain stream, clear and sweet, can relieve the bitter heat in the chest.

At this time, two Shaolin monks standing beside the vat were scooping up water, and the clear sky was reflected in the wooden ladle.The two monks looked at the same direction after scooping up the water. It was the most rugged road up the mountain to carry water. On weekdays, the brothers in the martial arts hall would carry empty buckets from here and come back with full water. , They walked like flying on the mountain road criss-crossed by strange rocks, and the buckets filled with water held flat did not tilt at all.One monk, who was still in a daze, said, "Can you see clearly, what did Brother Xuanhai look like just now when he came over with water?" In the blink of an eye, it was in front of me, and it was as if my feet hadn’t stepped on the ground.”

"It's like a fairy, isn't it?"

"No, the abbot said that Brother Xuanhai's martial arts will reach the realm of transformation, but what kind of realm is this realm?"

"I don't understand, but it's still very powerful. I've seen countless seniors fetching water together, and none of them can do this, and the water will splash out more or less, but look... "

The two of them walked back and forth along the bluestone road with their heads down, but they didn't find a drop of watermark, and just a moment ago, their senior brother just passed by carrying two buckets of water as if "floating".

"so amazing!"

"so amazing!"

The two said in unison.

Suddenly one of them frowned slightly, with doubts in his eyes, he poked at his companion and said, "But do you feel that something is wrong with Senior Brother Xuanhai recently?" The other was asked by him, thought for a while and said : "When you say that, it seems to be a little bit. But when you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it. The brother used to carry water, practice exercises, and chant scriptures every day. Even in the evening class, it was still the same as before. What's wrong?" He said Concentrating on his eyebrows, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Yes! It used to be that every time the brother came back from carrying water, he would greet us and chat with us, but recently he talked less, today it was the same, just now Smiled a bit, am I right, did you just smile a bit?"

"Well, it's because of a slight smile, that's why I feel like a god..." One said in a daze.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Another asked worriedly.

"I don't understand. It's probably because I've been too tired from my practice recently." One said hesitantly.

"That's right. After all, there are always wars outside, and the brother is always away from the temple. That must be the reason." The other concluded.

"We also need to practice martial arts well!"

"What I'm saying is, you can't let Brother Xuanhai work hard alone."

The road from Shaolin Temple to the deep mountain is full of faint bamboo forests. Xuan Hai is running steadily and quickly with a huge wooden barrel in both hands. The short brown he wears during practice is soaked in sweat, and the outline of his shoulders can be seen from the back.

Xuan Hai's face was still calm and calm, and the sweat from his forehead slid down his throat, but he knew that his heart was not as calm as usual.Master Tong Yan, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall of Shaolin Temple and the highest martial arts master in the temple, once said that the so-called practice of kung fu also contains vast knowledge like Buddhist scriptures, such as the seemingly boring carrying of water, the coordination of the arms between the rise and fall of the sound, The slightest difference is as far as thousands of miles.Sweating is natural, but there are many subtle things hidden in the sweat of a person. If you have no distractions and only focus on martial arts, the sweat will take away all mental fatigue, even if your hands and feet are sore at night. But it is extremely comfortable.

But now, Xuanhai paused at the foot, and he had picked up mountain spring water back and forth eight times. For some reason, he didn't feel the slightest fatigue on his body, and he didn't want to stop at all. Instead, the anxiety and emptiness in his heart overlapped layer by layer, every time Taking one more step is like taking one step closer to the scorching purgatory, which makes people feel panic like walking alone in the wilderness.

This situation began to appear after she left.In fact, it seemed that he had won the discussion that day in the end, but the phrase "Do you know the joy of life" was always lingering in his heart.Later, he read the scriptures day and night in the Sutra Pavilion, and wanted to ask the Buddha to tell him that the joy of life is hidden in the all-encompassing Dharma, but he couldn't find the answer until the candle was burned out.

One day in the evening class, the abbot gave a lecture on the "Lianhua Sutra of Miaofa", saying that the heart should not move rashly, and if it does not move, it will not hurt. It is because the Buddha enters meditation and faces the wall to seek the ultimate law of heaven and earth.

That was the first time he had the most direct and presumptuous question about the words of the Buddha. He thought, if people are born in the world, if they are all "moving", is it to avoid the possibility of being injured? He has never thought about protecting himself from "not hurting". The most powerful thing in the world should be the great compassion that is all-inclusive and omnipresent. However, can he really let his heart move as he pleases, and then gallop without hindrance?

Xuan Hai silently recited a Buddha's name, and took two quick steps forward with his feet. In an instant, his body was close to the ground, and when he was about to fall, he stepped on a branch of a tree. The leopard disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At sunset, Xuanhai returned to the temple with two large buckets of spring water. When he first arrived at the back mountain gate, he unexpectedly found two people leaning against the mountain gate. The two bright yellow figures melted into the twilight, but the bright and dazzling metal reflections when the bodies turned With an unusual expression, Xuan Hai smiled and said in his heart: This Ye Linjia didn't stay in the Tibetan Sword Villa, but ran to Shaolin Temple with his younger sister. Could it be that he was talking about Buddhism and Taoism?Thinking of this, my heart sank, and Yang Yao's name came up unconsciously. Ye Linjia, who was leaning on the mountain gate, laughed and said, "Master Xuanhai, are you tired of carrying water? Come here Sit down!"

Xuan Hai put down the wooden barrel in his hand, clasped his hands together, and said "Amitabha", but not to Ye Linjia, but to Ye Feijing who patted the dust on his body and stood up beside him.

"Hi, Master Ye."

Ye Feijing glanced at his elder brother, smiled into two crescents, and clasped his fists in return, saying: "Master Xuanhai, I heard that the master has picked water nine times today. take care."

Xuanhai said: "It's cold and hot, people who practice martial arts have long been accustomed to it, thank you Master Ye for your kindness."

Ye Feijing still had a smile on his face, and said: "The master is really diligent in this way, no wonder he is the best among his peers in the world, unlike some lazy people who are lazy and idle..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Linjia who was left alone, and the latter looked gloomyly at the two people in front of him who regarded themselves as air, and suddenly said sadly: "You two, one is the biological child of my mother and compatriot. Sister, one is a close friend of mine who is congenial, and this is so! How embarrassing!"

Ye Feijing laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to touch the epee on Ye Linjia's back, and said, "If you don't want to listen, we won't tell you, but who would know that you are not willing to listen to the truth? Why, brother, you have to continue like this, but it’s not just about eating, being lazy and doing nothing.”

Ye Lingjia gave her a blank look, and said angrily: "One more thing, you go home now."

Ye Feijing glared, and said anxiously: "It's hard to come out. If you drive me back, I will tell dad that you molested a good girl in Qixiufang!" Ye Linjia rolled his eyes in anger, Xuanhai Seeing that the situation was not good, he secretly suppressed a smile and shook his head, interrupted: "The Buddhist gate is clean, don't make any noise. You came back to Shaolin to quarrel?"

Ye Linjia regained his composure, left Ye Feijing behind, and said to Xuanhai, "It's all her fault, I almost forgot the business. We came back here for the war in Nanzhao."

"Nanzhao?"

"That's right. Ge Luofeng, the new lord of Nanzhao, killed the prefect of Yunnan not long after he ascended the throne. The imperial court sent troops to attack four times but failed. The pigeon passed the letter, saying that it is hoped that the major families and gangs will send some people to go to Nanzhao to find out."

Xuan Hai frowned after hearing this, and said: "Shaolin has not received the letter, and the abbot has not mentioned this matter..."

Ye Linjia suddenly smiled slyly, and said: "The book will be in Shaolin within a couple of days. As for how I knew in advance, hehe, that fellow Qi Chuan lost a jug of wine to me, so he paid for the news."

Before Xuan Hai could answer, Ye Feijing interjected from the side: "Brother, you are bullying Qi Chuan again, who can you compare with him to guess what dance Miss Zishao danced in Chang'an Jiaofang, it's no wonder he doesn't lose."

Ye Lingjia gave her a sideways look, and said, "I said Bibi, why don't you say he's too stupid?" Ye Feijing gritted his teeth and turned his head away.Ye Linjia laughed, turned to Xuanhai and said, "What about the monk, come to Nanzhao with the Lord?"

Xuan Hai smiled slightly, and said: "It is up to the abbot to decide who to send, Mr. Ye might as well wait a day or two."

Ye Lingjia raised his eyebrows, snorted disdainfully, and said, "If there is such a fight, can Abbot Tongbei not let you go? Forget it, Fei Jing and I live in the inn at the foot of the mountain. She can't live in Shaolin Temple as a girl, I have to accompany her, we will come back tomorrow."

Xuanhai was noncommittal, picked up the wooden bucket in his hand and entered the gate of the temple.But Ye Feijing almost swung the epee on his back because of the phrase "girl film".

The brother and sister walked down the mountain while playing. The sun had completely set, and the remaining light was soft but not strong. It shone through the gaps in the trees and shone on the bluestone-paved mountain road.Ye Feijing suddenly said: "Master Xuanhai seems to be in good spirits, not like what you said."

Ye Linjia sighed softly. When he came to Shaolin, he heard a lot of news from the little novice who guarded the gate. Originally, he thought that the woman named Yang Yao was not easy to dismiss when he was in Wukong six months ago. He really dared to force Xuanhai to show up in Shaolin Temple for a month in a row, and now that monk in Xuanhai... Ye Linjia sighed again, if that monk was as stupid as Qi Chuan, as long as he was talking nonsense , Guarantee that the Buddha's light shines in your heart.

It's a pity, the more calm and self-possessed the person seems to see through the world's worries, the more troublesome this kind of thing will be.

Ye Linjia glanced back at the ancient temple hidden in the deep forest, and said indifferently: "If you guess wrong, it will make people feel popular, understand? Who can guess right at the first guess."

The last sentence was lost in the sudden breeze, like Xia Chan whispering.
