Shaolin people! ?
There was no change on Yang Qingyuan's face, but he was a lot more wary in his heart.
Although Buddhism and Taoism are entangled with each other, Wudang Shaolin can't stand each other even more.
During the rise of Zhang Sanfeng, Shaolin's propaganda to the outside world has always been that Zhang Sanfeng secretly learned Shaolin martial arts and was a Shaolin traitor.
It wasn't until Zhang Sanfeng killed the ancestor of Xuehe with his sword, killed the leader of Mingjiao with his palm, and became the best in the world, that Shaolin's statement gradually became unmentionable.
However, Liang Zi had already formed a knot, and what happened with Yu Daiyan previously caused constant disputes between the two parties over time.
Of course, these are all fine, mostly personal grudges and disputes of temper, but a certain Taoist named Yang directly dug up a quarter of the root system of this old tree in Shaolin - Caobang.
Pan Qianweng, the former leader of the Cao Gang criminal group, is the leader of the lay disciples of Shaolin. However, the previous generation of Shaolin abbot personally taught him the Arhat's magic technique of subduing demons and the powerful Vajra Palm, which can only be learned by direct disciples of Shaolin.
Although the Cao Clan has a large number of people, it doesn't even have a Dongxuan Realm that can control the situation. How can it intervene in the world's water transportation? !
Because standing behind him was the ancestral court of the Zen sect, the only super sect in the martial arts world, Shaolin.
Shaolin Co., Ltd. owns the largest shareholding in Caobang through technology investment and is the largest shareholder of the original Caobang.
The money collected by Pan Qianweng was not only used for himself, but also for official relations in water transportation, and to honor the late Chu King Zhu Zhangui. The largest part was given to Shaolin, which was Shaolin's main source of income.
The relationship between Yang Qingyuan and Shaolin is no less than taking off one of Shaolin's arms.
If a person has one arm missing, he can still walk freely; but if he has one missing leg...
Therefore, when the empty old monk started the two sutras of Yijin and Marrow Cleansing, Yang Qingyuan's defense against him reached a new height.
As the Buddha's light on the old monk's body grew stronger and stronger, Yang Qingyuan felt that this old monk was probably at the peak of the Dongxuan Realm and was stuck in front of the Law of Heaven and Earth.
But this is not easy. Even though Yang Qingyuan talks a lot about the old monk, this old monk is probably not even sixty years old.
After a while, the old monk stood up in front of Master Feixuan, "Feixuan has indeed entered a state of suspended animation, extinguished like fire, blown away by the wind."
"Nirvana?!"
Yang Qingyuan is a little unsure, this thing is still a bit mysterious, but it is enough to make Yang Qingyuan unable to see the fake death.
"It's Nirvana. I didn't expect Shi Xianzi to have such a blessing." Old monk Kongwu was even more certain that Shi Feixuan was the legislator of the new Buddhist lineage.
"Then what should we do now?!" Although Yang Qingyuan was seriously injured several times and was on the verge of death, the wonderful realm of Taoism is the innate fetal breath, and he really doesn't understand the nirvana realm of Buddhism.
"I wonder if I can trouble Marquis Yang to bring Concubine Xuan under the Bodhi tree in Wanshan Temple?!"
Although the old monk Kongwu has never experienced the state of nirvana, judging from the experience of the World Honored One, this bodhi tree must be related to it.
Enlightenment is under Bodhi, Nirvana is under Bodhi.
"It doesn't matter!" Yang Qingyuan picked up Shi Feixuan's body and then asked, "But master, why don't you hug me and let me hug you instead?"
"Namo Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha! Although I have become a monk, there are differences between men and women. It is inappropriate and inappropriate!"
Yang Qingyuan suddenly felt that this old monk deserved a beating. You have differences between men and women, but I don’t! ? What do you mean? !
But he couldn't just throw Shi Fei Xuan on the ground!
"Master, let's go!"
The two figures left the six gates of Jinling in a flash.
In just a moment, the two of them arrived at Wanshan Temple.
Of course, the two of them still attracted the attention of the police patrolling the streets.
After all, it was within the city of Jinling. There were martial arts masters walking up and down the roof, so someone had to take care of them. However, after seeing Yang Qingyuan, the patrol officers knew what was going on.
After arriving at Wanshan Temple, Yang Qingyuan introduced the "corpse" of the master's concubine. No, it can't be called a corpse, let's call it a flesh body!
Put Shi Fei Xuan's body under the bodhi tree.
"But, Master, are you sure this bodhi tree is really useful?!" Yang Qingyuan looked at the little buds that had just grown on the charred dead wood in front of him and expressed doubts.
Old monk Kong Wu also felt a little embarrassed. In terms of visual effects, the effect of this bodhi tree was indeed a bit poor.
"Don't underestimate this dead tree, Marquis Yang. In fact, this Bodhi tree is the second Bodhi tree in China!"
Yang Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Is this a branch from the mother tree of White Horse Temple?!"
"Marquis Yang is indeed well-informed and knowledgeable."
In the seventh year of Yongping in the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Later Han Dynasty stayed at Nangong at night and dreamed that the golden god's head was shining with white light and flying around the palace. The next day, after questioning, he learned that he had dreamed of the Buddha, so he sent his doctor Cai Min, doctor disciple Qin Jing and others to Tianzhu to seek Dharma.
In the eighth year of Yongping, Cai, Qin and others bid farewell to the imperial capital and embarked on a thousands-mile journey to "learn scriptures from the West." In Dayuezhi Kingdom, I met the eminent Indian monks She Moteng and Zhu Falan, saw Buddhist scriptures and the white felt statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and begged the two eminent monks to go east to China to spread the Dharma and preach the religion.
In the tenth year of Yongping, two eminent monks from Tianzhu were invited to return to the capital Luoyang together with the envoys of the Eastern Han Dynasty, carrying Buddhist scriptures and statues on white horses. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was very happy to see Buddhist scriptures and statues. He treated the two eminent monks with great courtesy and received them personally. He also arranged for them to stay temporarily in "Honglu Temple", the official office in charge of foreign affairs at that time.
In the eleventh year of Yongping, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the construction of a monastery in the north of the imperial road three miles outside Xiyongmen in Luoyang. In commemoration of the white horse carrying sutras, it was named "White Horse Temple". The word "Temple" comes from the word "Temple" in "Honglu Temple".
Baima Temple is the ancestral palace of China and the source of Chinese Buddhism. This status is unshakable.
"When the White Horse Sutra came to China, in addition to the portrait of the Buddha, there was also a Bodhi tree. It is extremely difficult for the Bodhi tree to survive. Only under the cultivation of the eminent monks of the White Horse Temple did the first Bodhi tree grow. . At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, swords and soldiers were everywhere, and the traitor Dong Zhongying burned down Luoyang. In order to protect our Buddhist heritage, an eminent monk took the scriptures and Bodhi branches south to Stone City and established Wanshan Temple here."
Monk Kongwu slowly explained to Yang Qingyuan.
"It's just that this place is not well-known, but there have always been eminent monks in the temple. Until three hundred years ago, a thunderbolt hit the ancient Bodhi tree in Wanshan Temple and instantly burned it to ashes."
In order to avoid the war, Jing Nian Chan Monastery moved from Luoyang to Yangzhou just to find this ancient bodhi tree. Unfortunately, when it was found, it was already a charred wood, so it settled for the next best thing and built the current one next to Yangzhou City. Meditate in the Zen monastery.
Yang Qingyuan became interested after hearing this. He naturally understood the status of the Bodhi tree in Buddhism, but he did not expect that the Bodhi tree was so important, so he stepped forward and observed the Bodhi tree carefully.
Just for a moment,
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly a bell rang, and the lotus growing on the dead tree was already in bud.
…
In the darkness, Shi Feixuan only felt that there was a little spiritual light that was guiding her.
At this time, she was still sinking into a sea of misery, with countless negative emotions surrounding Master Feixuan, until a figure appeared.
Some people are actually not that good, but once various filters are added to people's minds, they will become an almost perfect image.
Yang Qingyuan had always been the mortal enemy of Buddhism in the heart of Shi Fei Xuan. Although he had done something to save the people, he was also treacherous and loyal, and virtuous and hypocritical. In addition, Yang Qingyuan wielded a butcher knife in the north, and his hands were covered with blood. Shi Feixuan always thought that he was an enemy of Buddha.
It wasn't until the duel with Qin Mengyao failed that Senior Sister Qin reached the realm of the Mysterious Cave. However, her Taoist heart was broken and her martial arts was almost half useless.
Afterwards, Yang Qingyuan took her south to Jinling, where he taught her what true compassion is.
After having faith in her heart, Shi Feixuan only felt that her way became clearer.
If you have never loved even one person, how can you love the world and all living beings?
Only by being strong in love can we be strong in Tao.
The bells are ringing, Sanskrit chants, and in this endless darkness, a ray of Buddha's light will pierce the abyss of darkness.
Have mercy on my people, who are full of sorrows.
All living beings are suffering, loving kindness can save them all.
…
Naturally, Yang Qingyuan didn't know that Shi Feixuan was in a state of suspended animation, adding so many inner dramas, and was looking for the direction in which the bell was ringing.
Just as Yang Qingyuan was searching, he suddenly felt an evil spirit lingering around Shi Feixuan again.
The old monk Kongwu also reacted and looked at Shi Feixuan's body in disbelief.
He always thought that Shi Feixuan was the founder of the Northern Meridian of Zen Buddhism, but how could she have such a powerful evil aura in her body? !
The old monk didn't know it yet, but Yang Qingyuan couldn't understand it in his heart. This was the first move of Tathagata's palm, the starting move for the first appearance of Buddha's light. Just when Yang Qingyuan thought Shi Feixuan was going to succeed, Shi Feixuan's vitality was extinguished again. .
What kind of statement is this? !
Alive? But not fully alive? !
The old monk also noticed the loss of life and hurriedly stood up to check. However, as soon as he got close to Shi Feixuan, he instinctively took a step back. The sinister aura even frightened the old monk.
Just when he was determined to move forward again, another change occurred.
The Buddha's light appeared again in this endless evil spirit, and there seemed to be endless Sanskrit sounds, ringing in the ears of the empty old monk.
This is the most dazzling Buddha light that Monk Kong Wu has ever seen.
This evil spirit did not dissipate, but gradually became peaceful under the illumination of this Buddha's light.
"this?!"
Even Wulu on the side felt the Sanskrit sound and trotted all the way to the backyard with an ax in his hand. He was chopping firewood just now. He hurried over after hearing the Sanskrit sound and saw this strange and shocking scene. elephant.
"Senior Brother Kongwu, what's going on?!"
Master Wulu has no knowledge of martial arts and does not practice Buddhism. He only relies on his original intention to do good and does not realize this scene.
"Namo Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha, this is the realm of nirvana for my Buddhist sect. Concubine Xuan is really destined to be a great Buddha!"
In this Buddha's light, the lotus that originally grew on the dead tree and was waiting to bloom slowly bloomed; the new buds growing on the ancient Bodhi tree seemed to become more green.
A quarter of an hour later, the faint Buddha light dissipated, and Shi Feixuan, who was originally in a state of silence, opened her eyes, then slowly stood up, walked to Yang Qingyuan, and bowed down Yingying.
"Feixuan, thank you Marquis Yang for your kindness in teaching the Dharma!"
Yang Qingyuan originally wanted to support Shi Feixuan, so he waved a burst of true energy.
But when this ray of true energy approached Shi Fei Xuan, it was deflected.
"Dongxuan Realm?! No, you are clearly Yuanhua?! But you clearly have the breakthrough of Dongxuan in you?!" Yang Qingyuan was a little confused by Shi Feixuan's state.
How strange! ?
After saluting, Master Fei Xuan stood up slowly, "I can indeed take advantage of this opportunity and use this wonderful method to enter the realm of cave mystery, but in this way, I have entered the way of the Southern Sect. The method of sudden enlightenment is not in line with my way!"
It has to be said that Master Huineng's method of enlightenment in the Southern Sect is truly wonderful. Just now at the border with life and death, Shi Fei Xuan has learned a lot and can even directly enter the realm of the Mysterious Cave, but entering the Mysterious Cave is not what she wants now.
Shi Feixuan's desire to compete with Qin Mengyao has faded away. What she wants to do is to re-establish the Beizong method and open the Beizong again for the benefit of Buddhist believers in the world.
Adhere to the Dharma and practice, and accumulate good virtues. This is the path that ordinary Buddhist disciples should follow.
If you are even on the wrong path, how can you talk about re-establishing the Northern Sect?
"Master Fairy is so courageous!"
Facing the Dongxuan Realm, passing through the door without entering, this kind of strong state of mind can no longer be described by four words: determination.
The Dongxuan realm is a threshold in the martial arts world. The figures in the world before the Dongxuan realm are still within the normal logic and belong to the category of ordinary people.
Once you step into Dongxuan, you will be a high-level combat power in the martial arts world, a master respected by thousands of people.
The reason why the Snare in those days and the Blood River Sect in today's time can snare so many masters is not because they have a method to increase the probability of entering the Cave Xuan Realm. Even though this method has many flaws, there are still a large group of people flocking to it.
"Marquis Yang is so complimentary! Marquis Yang's kindness is the great virtue. Marquis Yang's virtue is the great virtue."
Yang Qingyuan was confused by Shi Feixuan's eyes and words. What happened? Why did Shi Feixuan seem to have brainwashed him? !
Although Yang Qingyuan had doubts in his heart, he did not show it.
"Then Master Fairy has learned the method I taught you?!" Yang Qingyuan asked tentatively.
He originally just wanted to use Tathagata Divine Palm to improve Shi Feixuan's status in Buddhism and increase Shi Feixuan's value, but now it seems that he made a miscalculation.
I don’t know what kind of Buddhist wizard my incomplete Tathagata Palm has cultivated. Is this like shooting myself in the foot? !
"Namo Sakyamuni Buddha. Many thanks to Marquis Yang for teaching the Dharma. Although Fei Xuan is dull in qualifications, she has occasionally understood the Tathagata's wonderful Dharma."
After saying this, Master Feixuan walked towards Master Wulu and said, "Senior Brother Wulu, I have something to ask of you, please be kind to me."
"Amitabha, Feixuan, just ask."
"The strange poison of Jinbo Xunhua in Mr. Yang's body cannot be explained by the heart of the ancient Bodhi tree in my Buddhist sect. The ancient Bodhi tree used before is not old enough, and the ancient tree in my senior brother Wanshan Temple is a branch of the mother tree. It is magical and extraordinary. Please also ask Senior Brother to give me medicine!”
Yang Qingyuan didn't expect that Shi Feixuan would ask for medicine for himself. This time it seemed even more strange.
Wulu just smiled when he heard this, "I'm not a big deal, I'm just a tree on the left and right."
After saying that, Wulu raised his ax and looked at the ancient Bodhi tree that had just sprouted new buds.
