After the winter solstice comes the cold.
On minor cold days, the winter wind blows farther south and becomes stronger.
Dayuan is located in the extreme north, and the northern end of Dayuan is naturally even colder. When it comes to the Xiaohan solar term, even though bears, tigers and wolves are wrapped in thick manes, they still find it difficult to endure the severe cold. Bears can lie down Sleeping in caves, waiting for the next spring, tigers and wolves are trying to survive these extremely long months of winter. Even if they have tried their best to store fat in autumn, once the dripping water turns to ice, the birds will disappear and the animals will disappear. Most of them are hidden, and the wolves may not be able to catch anything if they go out for several days, so they have to endure hunger and endure the bitter cold day by day. In this bitter cold place with little food, many travelers and merchants pass by here all year round. Riding, it has been many years since I saw a pack of wolves and tigers. Most of those who have the intention to stay here have not lasted more than a few years, so apart from the vast expanse of snow, there are not many living things.
Wu Shuang, who has lived in Yizhang for many years, is quite tired of the scenery in the Great Yuan North Land. However, he can often see the light of the sun emerging from the dark clouds, illuminating the snow and ice on the cedar branches. Occasionally, there are eagles and falcons flying in the biting cold. Go, leave traces on the snow, it is not a bad scene to say, but if you feel that the whole body is so cold that it is difficult to get rid of it, no matter how good the scene is in front of you, you will not have the idea of taking a good look at it. Furthermore, Zen Master Bu Kong often conversed with the young monk from Buqiu Temple, and most of what he said was obscure and profound Buddhist teachings. For people like Wu Shuang, it was really dizzying to listen to it, and in the end they no longer spoke often. Interjected, but every time he heard these two people talking about the roots of Buddhism and wisdom, Wu Shuang would be very impatient and go to the head first, or deliberately walk a few steps slowly and follow these two people from a distance. He would rather listen to the north wind howling than I don't want to hear such boring nonsense.
In the past, Li Baoyu and Wu Shuangyan said that the latter had a connection with Taoism. It was not just as simple as learning Taoism and talismans, but he always wanted to be on par with people in the Taoist sect. Unfortunately, he was too tied up in the mortal world. If he could If he breaks free, he might go further than he can, and maybe he will be able to find a place to sit at the head of the Taoism in a few decades. However, Wu Shuang has never heard of it, and he has never been willing to be a Taoist leader, so in the end he is just I grabbed a few in-demand items from Feilai Peak and sneaked back to Nangong Mountain to relax.
In the final analysis, Wu Shuang has never been an honest person who follows the rules. On the contrary, he is extremely perverse. Even though he has received a lot of training in the world for many years, he has gradually learned what it means to behave in the world and what the rules of the world are. Unfortunately, he always He has never completely changed his mind, so to Wu Shuang today, the words of the two monks, an old man and a young man, contain profound and inscrutable Buddhist teachings. They are just taking the easy things in a roundabout way, and may not have any disrespectful intentions. But when I really can’t listen to much, I feel drowsy, so I just don’t listen to it in order to feel at ease.
Since Buqiu Temple is a large temple that is hidden from the world, it is of course the Buddhist sages who have enlightened it so that the temple is not visible in the world. Therefore, even if the hall master wearing moon-white monk clothes guides the way, the three of them are still going around in the temple. After walking through Yuanjibei for several days, I found a rather abrupt flat strange rock on top of a dangerous peak. Using the monk's memory, he pointed his fingers on the strange rock one after another and whispered the Buddha's name. Suddenly, the door opened behind the strange rock. , there is a different world.
"The Buqiu Temple mentioned by the poor monk is the place where monks practice and live. However, we can see clues from the ancient scrolls. This place was the Buqiu Temple in ancient times, but now it has become the gateway to Buqiu Temple. There is a portal in Buddhism that requires a person who sincerely meditates on Zen and enlightenment to kneel down on a futon and chant sutras for a day before there is an opportunity to open the door. Only then can he step into the Buqiu Temple and see his true appearance. The pure realm of Buddhism does not allow the use of weapons. You will have to be punished by the previous eminent monks who left the mountain-suppressing formation here. Although I have not heard of anyone provoking this mountain-suppressing formation for many years, it is still stated in the ancient scrolls, so it is best to believe in it."
Most of the words of the young monk in moon-white robes were spoken to Wu Shuang. He had heard Zen Master Fu Kong mentioned earlier that he had such a close friend with a very casual temperament. He was afraid that the swordsman in green robes did not understand the rules. Drawing a sword here will cause a lot of trouble. It will not only break the rules and etiquette, but also cause all kinds of misfortunes, so I would like to mention it lightly.
The cave behind the strange rock is not big, about twenty to thirty feet wide. It is empty except for a few futons in the middle that are almost loose and rotten. Only a three- to five-inch wide opening is left at the top of the cave, such as When the sky is clear or when it rains, rain and sunlight can penetrate into the cave through this hole, flow to the surroundings along several shallow channels in the middle, and finally return to the outside of the cliff. It can be regarded as a transfer of the style of the ancient hall. It’s just that compared to Dou Gongfei
The eaves are more than a little crude. After all, it is a pure place of Buddhism. There are no decorations or decorations. It is just a clean cave where you can hear the wind, see the sun, moonlight, snow and drizzle. There are no less than tens of thousands of eminent monks in it, and their names, taboos, and Buddhist inscriptions are all engraved into the cave. On the surrounding stone walls, since ancient times, there have been very few spaces left, which can only accommodate less than a hundred people with Dharma chants arranged around them. It seems that there is indeed a Buddhist charm born by itself.
"If the Buddhist disciples of Qiu Temple are still practicing in this cave, there is probably no need for me to come with you this time." Wu Shuang seemed to have never heard the hidden meaning of the young monk's words. Instead, he was the first to step forward and put his waist Jian Qingshuang took it off and placed it horizontally next to the futon, and immediately looked around, often smearing the Dharma inscriptions around the cave with two fingers, only to realize that the Dharma inscriptions were darker or shallower. At first glance, they looked neat, but in fact they were of different shades. He looked back very suspiciously and asked, "Little Master, who carved the name of the Dharma in this Qingxiu place? The method is quite impressive. As a sword practitioner, I can certainly tell whether the strength is good or not. Although the depth is different, the strength of the carving is different. They are all different, and I think he must be a very high master, but I don’t know if he is still in the human world.”
Zen Master Fu Kong, who had not spoken since he entered this place, shook his head and said, "There is a large formation guarding the gate of Fuqiu Temple here. As long as you calm down and calm down, you can detect the clues. However, there are still some doubts. Please explain it clearly, junior brother."
Juenian sighed, but did not hide it.
Buqiu Temple has existed for a very long time, but it is inevitable that it was abandoned in the past. The names and names engraved on the four walls of the cave are not people of the current generation, but eminent monks from a long time ago. But now Buqiu It was only in the past hundred years that the temple prospered again. Although there have been several abbots and abbots, it is a pity that no one can engrave the name of the Dharma here. Whenever an old monk passes away, everyone in the temple must come here. However, none of the engraved words could survive on the four walls of the cave. Instead, they were all erased by the mountain formation. They seemed to have their own spiritual wisdom. Even those eminent monks who are knowledgeable in the four realms cannot resist it. The Zhenshan Formation erased the writings on the stone wall. Therefore, although the temple has been prosperous for hundreds of years, it is a pity that no Dharma name has been engraved in the cave here.
Before long, Zen Master Fu Kong and Juenian were already sitting on the futon, choosing scriptures and chanting silently. Now that they were here, even if Zen Master Fu Kong had such a temper, they were still following the eternal rules of Fu Qiu Temple. , silently recited the scriptures, with his eyebrows lowered, sitting in the middle as if he had fallen into concentration. The cave was full of warmth, and the flying snow dispersed down the holes above the head, and soon melted away.
Wu Shuang never knew any Buddhist scriptures, so he could only wander around and walk along the cave several times. Finally, he stopped at a cave that was about to go down. He frowned for a long time, then slowly sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes slightly. There was no movement for a long time.
Wu Shuang was actually quite familiar with the word "formation", not only because Li Baoyu was an expert in formations, but also because when his eldest disciple went up the mountain, he did not learn swordsmanship, let alone spear moves, and only loved formations and The scrolls were different, so Wu Shuang, who was still relatively young at the time, had the shamelessness to go to Feilai Peak to plead guilty. It was easy to coax and deceive the old Niu Bibi to regain a lot of face, and he learned a lot of useful formations. It only took Wu Shuang less than half a year to memorize the methods, as well as the talismans that were very rare among many Taoist sects. Although he did not study them intensively, he was still able to guide his disciples. Talking on paper was better than paper after all. He couldn't talk about military affairs, so he taught his eldest disciple in a muddle-headed manner. And this eldest disciple has now entered the fourth realm, and his skills in formations are so profound that he may even be ranked among the top in this world. As for the superficial things that Wu Shuang had learned through hard work, Liu Qing had probably always been well aware of it, but knowing his master's temperament, he was even more respectful, and he still relied on this little skill on paper to make a living. Go into the four realms.
Therefore, Wu Shuang has always been happy to show off how promising his great apprentice is in front of others.
Wu Shuang sat here and saw many scenes, but at the end he stood up and looked back at the green frost sword beside the futon. Half of it had disappeared out of thin air, and the remaining half was still hanging in the air.
Others couldn't see it, but Wu Shuang looked very carefully. There was a golden palm about the same size as the cave. He was holding half of Qingshuang and trying to pull it up, but he could only hold half of the sword, and the remaining half was hanging steadily. In the air, the sword glowed.
"I'm really not shy about stealing things in front of others."
The swordsman in green seemed to have never been distracted by the formation just now. He just glanced at the big hand with golden light and curled his lips in disgust.
Zen Master Tong Bu Kong came to visit. Wu Shuang was afraid that he could not control his temper and break the rules and etiquette first. But now that someone really broke the etiquette first, it seems that it is not so unreasonable to use a sword on someone else's territory. Come on, in fact, Wu Dajianxian on Nangong Mountain has always been very good at etiquette. He is quite lawful when others scold him without opening his mouth. But if others start to scold him, Wu Shuang has no reason to accept it calmly. On the contrary, he is more polite than others. The man cursed harder to relieve his anger.
Fortunately, Wu Shuang is not very good at using his mouth, and his sword energy is also unambiguous.
In an unknown cave in the North of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a bright green frost glowed, killing the Buddha with one arm.
