"I wonder what the venerable master thinks is Jianghu?" Shen Yanran didn't seem to care at all, but looked at Monk Mu Ping quietly.
"Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many legends in the world! First there was the heroic genealogy of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which created the legend of the world in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty! Then there was the biography of the Empress Qiying, which continued the exciting years of the early Tang Dynasty! Xuanzong became a knight-errant in the prosperous Tang Dynasty The world of swordsmen! After Dezong in the middle Tang Dynasty, feudal vassals and towns had their own unique swordsmen! Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, people in the world have regarded knight-errant swordsmen as a wonder!"
Monk Muping did not refuse. After pondering for a while, he spoke lightly: "Jianghu! People don't know that there are rivers and lakes in the world. They only know that there are legends! Legend has it that these swordsmen and heroes who travel around the world have all kinds of myths. Legend. Life experience has become a dream in people’s eyes. The experience of traveling around the world has become a story of being wanton in the world!”
Listening to what Monk Mu Ping said, Shen Yanran didn't interrupt!
"Although I don't know what kind of world Master Shen is looking for! In the past, Shitou Xiqian, a great leader of the Zen family, once preached Dharma at the Nanyue of Hengshan Mountain in the Chu region, attracting believers from all over the world to worship and convert. He is the disciple of the Sixth Patriarch, a member of the Zen family The main inheritor of the Southern Sect." He seemed a little leisurely, as if he was reminiscing about something, and no one dared to disturb him.
At this time, the area in front of Xiaoyao Palace seemed to be completely isolated. Monk Muping could only be heard saying faintly: "And Mazu Daoyi preached Dharma at Kaiyuan Temple in Zhongling, Hongzhou, and was a disciple of Master Huairang under the Sixth Patriarch. , became the founder of the Hongzhou Sect in Jiangxi Province, and the various types of Southern Zen Buddhism in the past are still admired today."
"The Chu region of Hunan and the Gan region of Jiangxi were backward areas during the Tang Dynasty. The popularity of Zen Buddhism filled the cultural gaps in the two regions. Because of the knowledge of Shitou Xiqian and Mazu Daoyi, believers continued to travel to and from Gan region. He Chudi, then the word Jianghu!" Monk Muping seemed not to know what Shen Yanran was referring to, but he still kept telling allusions!
"Some people also think that the term "Jianghu" comes from the reason that Mazu Daoyi and his disciple Baizhang Huaihai had their monastery in Gandi. As well as the reason why Nanyue Huairang and Shitou Xiqian's monastery were all in Hunan, Chudi." It seems to be with careful consideration. , obviously not wanting to mislead.
"Nowadays, the five sects and seven sects of Zen are gradually taking shape. These practitioners and lay followers are looking for teachers and visiting the disciples of major Zen masters. This method of constant traveling and learning can be described as walking in the world. Since then, the word "walking in the world" has been used in the world! "Looking at the calm expression on his face, Monk Muping seemed to be serious.
"People say: Once you enter the rivers and lakes, they are as deep as the sea! Your Majesty is indeed very knowledgeable. This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but for ordinary ignorant people, it is enough!" Looking at Shen Yanran's posture, you can tell that she is not affected at all. . But it's not surprising that as someone who has a close relationship with the Xiaoyao Sect, she seems to be filled with hatred.
"These characters who are constantly walking among the rivers and lakes can be said to be of all kinds. I think Buddhism must have its own way of dealing with these people in the rivers and lakes. But I think that the rivers and lakes are just the rivers and lakes, absolutely The court would not be as ugly as the sea, let alone such a beautiful study!" Her eyes gradually became colder, and she looked closely at Monk Mu Ping.
"The rivers and lakes are in the heart, just like Buddha. In just one thought, everyone can become a Buddha!" Looking at Shen Yanran, Monk Muping seemed not to have heard. But he still had his hands folded and his eyes kindly, even smiling confidently.
"A certain family belongs to Shen Gongxi, who has never believed in Buddhism. I have admired the name of the monk for a long time, and today I saw the senior coming. I don't know what I would do with such a person!" Shen Gongxi seemed to see that Shen Yanran was unimpressed, and he actually clasped his fists and pointed at the roof for the first time. Monk Muping saluted. He was confronting Su Hou but was not confused. Hearing this, he took the initiative to stand up.
He stood as steady as a mountain in the void, as if he was adsorbed in the air, which was strange and surprising. Even ordinary people can see that he is obviously not an ordinary person. According to his past temperament, he would naturally not be so polite. However, seeing that Shen Yanran was not arrogant, she couldn't help but express her sincere greeting.
As the saying goes, stretch out your hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Although Monk Muping does not go out all the time and is not a figure in the world, he often interacts with knight-errant swordsmen from all over the world. When I heard this man's name, I didn't know who he was, but looking at Shen Gongxi's posture, he must be a master in the world.
A normal person would naturally be able to tell that Shen Gongxi was a skilled practitioner, and Monk Su Hou and Mu Ping, who were standing opposite him, would naturally know each other. Just by looking at these ordinary foreign ministers, I knew there must be a reason for this. I couldn't help but look at them, but my brows raised slightly.
"Amitabha, good, good! I came here to invite Master Shen to Shengyuan Temple as a guest!" I know that there are many knight-errant swordsmen in the world. Compared with these people in the world, Shengyuan Temple has no advantage at all, so Looking at the two people here, Monk Muping still looked respectful.
The people watching and listening here seemed a little nervous, whispering to the people around them from time to time, and staring here from time to time. Although they didn't know what they wanted to do, they were obviously worried about something. After all, Shengyuan Temple is just an ordinary temple, but Monk Muping is respected as an Arhat.
What is surprising is that those who are watching seem to be nervous, nervously watching the movements here. But because of Su Hou and Shen Gong's cheerful aura, everyone could only stand there for a while, looking closely at the people here. Lin Renzhao and Zheng Yanhua frowned and looked at them closely.
Most of the people inside and outside the Xiaoyao Palace should be unknown to each other. I heard that these people outside are all experts, and even a blind person can tell that. As for the background of these people, I probably wouldn't dare to come and ask them one by one. At most, they would just watch such masters fight in person.
It was as if these people had just come over. Although they stood aside and rode their horses, they immediately averted their eyes when they saw that it was a master fighting. Now that I think about it, it is expected that these people are from all kinds of people. Remember what the elders said, could it be that the figures in the world mentioned are these monks who are not successful?
But what is surprising is that these people are a man in commoner clothes, a beautiful lady in palace attire, a Taoist priest from Qinghui, and an old monk from Qingqi. The man in civilian clothes and the beautiful lady in royal attire looked at ease, and they were not seen until everyone came over. At this moment, the man was standing opposite Su Hou. Beauty was obviously the theme here.
Obviously, these things are not that simple anymore, and everyone is feeling vaguely excited. The elder of Xiaoyao Palace who had just heard the sermon did not show up, and the Su Hou who took action did not know how skilled he was. Seeing their nonchalant expressions, everyone felt a lot more at ease, but they also became more aware of the world.
