Li Shun calculated how old Wutai Mountain was over 500 years ago since it was built. Due to its terrain, Wutai Mountain was already very cold in the morning and night during the high autumn season. Along the way, Li Shun took careful care of his condition, but his condition was getting worse and worse.
On this day, a group of people who were on the road arrived and checked into the inn in Taihuai Town. Li Shun now raised a hot fire in the room. Ruosui was afraid that the smoke would heat up the room, so he moved the fire pot out. Then Li Shun brought another one. A large bucket of hot water was poured into the wooden basin so that Ruo Sui could bathe his whole body cleanly.
During dinner in the evening, Ruosui's appetite was obviously better than in the previous days. After eating a plate of cold vegetables and two bowls of porridge, Li Shun walked with her in the yard for a while before going back to the room to rest.
There was only one kang in the room. When they were eating, Li Shun had already given instructions to the waiter.
"You can just heat up the kang."
When they entered the room, the whole room was warm. Li Shun first let Ruosui sleep on the floor and spread his own cloth. Now they no longer slept on the kang, mainly because it was convenient for Li Shun to take care of Ruosui at night.
"Oh, I can finally sleep peacefully after a tiring day."
Li Shun took off his coat and blew out the oil lamp before getting into his cloth and taking a long breath.
"Brother Shun, I heard that the path to Dafoling Temple is particularly difficult. How will we get there tomorrow?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I've hired a slide pole for the mountain people to carry you up the mountain."
If you follow the way.
"We don't want others to carry us. Just carry us up!!"
"Bullshit."
Li Shundao.
"The road is so short and narrow that I can't walk more than a few steps before we both fall to the bottom of the cliff."
"We are already useless and will die if we fall."
Li Shunyi said calmly after hearing this.
"Look, you're talking nonsense again. Forget it, go to sleep. I'll ask Manjushri to stay energetic tomorrow."
Ruosui didn't say anything again. I don't know how long it had been. He only heard a rustling sound from her side. Li Shun, who didn't dare to fall asleep, turned over in surprise and asked.
"What would you do if I wanted to?"
"Brother Shun, I'm cold."
"cold?"
Li Shun was even more surprised and didn't know what happened to Ruosui.
"The kang is so hot, is it still cold?"
"It's cold, come here and give us a hug."
Li Shun immediately opened his cloth and got into Ruosui's quilt and hugged her. Li Shun was shocked again.
"Why did you take off all your clothes?"
"Brother Shun, I don't want you to leave us."
Ruosui desperately hugged Li Shun, and Li Shun also held Ruosui in his arms as tightly as a burning flame. When he kissed Ruosui, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his face.
"You cried?"
"Our surname is Gao."
If you follow the way.
"Brother Shun, haven't you wanted to marry me for a long time? We have just figured out that if you want me, then we will be a real couple."
In an instant, Li Shun suddenly calmed down and felt a sense of panic. Li Shun Dao felt that all the frenzied desires had subsided.
"Good girl, listen to us. You are going to see the Buddha tomorrow. We want you to see Manjushri Bodhisattva in a clean and upright manner without any regrets."
Ruosui sighed and said no more. She snuggled into Li Shun's arms like a docile elk and fell asleep soundly.
When Ruosui woke up, it was already bright and Li Shun was no longer around. He called out softly. Li Shun came into the room with a basin of hot water and smiled at Ruosui.
"Miss, wake up and the food is already cooked."
Li Shun helped her put on new underwear and new cotton monk robes and asked with concern.
"Isn't it cold anymore?"
Ruosui blushed and said.
"It's not cold anymore."
After washing up, Ruosui felt refreshed, had breakfast, and taken medicine. After leaving the courtyard, two mountain people who made a living by carrying sliding poles were already outside the door. Li Shun carefully covered the seats and backs with cotton. Use the cushion and lower the backrest so that Ruosui can save some energy while lying down, and you can still see the scenery of Wutai Holy Land!
Today Ruosui was also very cooperative and she half-lyed and half-sat on the sliding pole without wasting a word. Li Shun was afraid that he could not withstand the wind and cold in the mountains, so he covered her body with a thin cotton felt.
Li Shun was busy on the road and saw a lot of wasteland. Sometimes after walking for a whole day, it was difficult to see many pedestrians. At present, there was an endless stream of pilgrims on the narrow and difficult mountain road. There was a whole family of young and old. Some of the people carrying burdens up the mountain were old people or sick people who, like Ruosui, relied on sliding poles to go up the mountain.
You’ll find out once you ask.
"Because the emperor destroyed the Buddha, all of us who are not believers came from far and wide."
When I walked halfway up the mountain, I saw an ancient temple with white walls and jade tiles standing majestically in a jungle not far away. There was a branch road at my feet that could be passed through. Ruosui asked in a low voice.
"Reached?"
"It's still early."
The mountain man carrying the slide said.
"The temple is called Baiyun Temple, where female monks live. There used to be more than 100 temples in Wutai Mountain, but now there are only more than 30 left."
Ruosui looked around and saw no one and called out hurriedly.
"Where's Brother Li Shun."
"We're here."
Li Shun hurriedly appeared from behind the person carrying the sliding pole.
"There is a nunnery here called Baiyun Nunnery. You must tell the master when you go back."
Li Shun agreed with a "yes", but his heart skipped a beat.
"Is Ruosui worried that he won't be able to go back? That's why he made such an explanation?"
He felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. Ruosui, who was out of energy, fell asleep under the shaking of the sliding pole. After an unknown amount of time, the mountain man who lifted the sliding pole said something.
"Remove the rod."
Ruosui, who was in a drowsy state, suddenly opened his eyes with excitement and saw the majestic and majestic Great Buddha Spirit Temple surrounded by undulating mountains and clouds.
Ruosui whispered.
"This is the holy land that my master and I have longed for. Today we finally saw it."
Ruosui opened the cotton felt covering her body and was about to sit up. Li Shun rushed over and supported her on the stopped slide. At this time, the large courtyard in front of the temple, filled with incense and filled with incense, was already crowded with pilgrims. Deng Deng Li Shun helped Ruosui walk through the bustling crowd to the incense burner.
She took out a stick of incense from the incense bag she carried with her, lit it and gave it to Ruosui's hand. She devoutly took it and prayed to the sacred Buddha with her hands clasped together.
"I wish Master and Brother Shun all the best."
At the same time, Li Shun also held a stick of incense in his hand and silently prayed for Ruosui.
"Buddha bless Ruosui and let him recover quickly."
The two of them put their incense into the incense burner at the same time. Ruosui, who had finally fulfilled his wish, suddenly felt relaxed all over. She broke away from Li Shun's support and walked straight towards the temple.
In the inner hall of the temple, there are green pines and green cypresses. The only Dojo of Manjushri in Mount Wutai. Li Shun and Ruosui walked into the gate of Manjushri Hall and saw seven statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva enshrined in the hall. Although each Manjushri Bodhisattva has a different shape, no matter who the statue is. Kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and amiability sweep away the warmth and coldness of the world!
At present, the huge hall was already brightly lit, filled with incense and filled with people. It seemed that no one could enter the hall anymore. Only three crisp bells rang. The faithful men and women who came to worship stopped making wishes and talking, and the hall fell into silence.
A monk wearing cassocks and banging wooden fish came and recited Buddhist sutras majestically. They took their seats on the group of seven Manjushri Bodhisattvas behind them, and let the regular and soft humming of the sutras recite in a mellow manner echo through the hall and around the beams. It shocked the hearts of the monks.
In an instant, the injustice, resentment, hatred and many stubborn physical ailments accumulated in the hearts of good men and women were completely washed away by this harmonious and beautiful voice. Everyone knelt down on the spot and paid homage to the compassionate Manjusri Bodhisattva. Even if I can only get a moment of satisfaction by coming here on my way.
A bright light flashed across the eyebrows of the green-brown lion under Manjushri Bodhisattva's crotch, and the green lion parted the clouds.
"Master, look at the sufferings and illnesses in this world, how beautiful they are."
Manjusri said.
"How could the Buddha not know this? I only blame the world's people for being too greedy, which is why they end up like this. When they have food, they want rights, when they have rights, they want money, and when they have money, they want to bully others. If you sow a cause, you will be rewarded. As a result, in this life, all the people in Xiniu and Hezhou will be clean without killing or greed. I predict that in 12 years, the world will be in chaos. Then the master will send you to the lower world to help the people quell this rebellion."
At this time, I saw a golden light flashing between the brows of the guardian envoy Golden Winged Dapeng Diao beside Tathagata in the Mahavira Palace.
"Ever since we were surrendered by the monk Ran Deng, we have been studying the Dharma with the Buddha. It is rare for us to go down to the lower world and have fun. After 12 years, we must go to the human world."
At this time, Ji Jun, the Emperor of Heaven, summoned the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord to point him towards the west.
"You were the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty during your lifetime. I wonder if you would like to return to the lower world to protect the people of the world in a year. Heaven cannot allow the Buddhist family to dominate. After 12 years, your task is to switch to the lower world and join the Yuwen family. Think of the temper of the golden-winged roc. His irritability is like a raging fire, and you need to block him from the lower realms for three years, otherwise he will become an emperor and his life will be ruined, and the people of the world will not be at peace."
Among all living beings, Ruosui knelt next to Li Shun at first. Unknowingly, she joined the monks in meditating with her hands clasped together according to the Buddhist rules. She could tell from the beginning that the monks were reciting the Diamond Sutra, which was the previous master's. She has recited this sutra by heart.
Then she sang along with the monk's rhythm, and her illness disappeared and her face became radiant and full of longing for a better future.
Li Shun watched Ruosui's every move but silently prayed for her in his heart. The pure and beautiful chanting finally ended with the ringing of a bell! ! !
While the monks kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, Ruosui still maintained his meditating posture with a smile on his face and did not get up for a long time.
Li Shun knelt beside her, waiting for her to reach out her hand and help her stand up. Ruosui could never reach out her hand, nor could she stand up again. Her soul flew into the west with the singing of the Diamond Sutra. The paradise of heaven.
Seeing that something was not going well, Li Shun quickly stretched out his hand to explore Ruosui's breathing passage.
"If you wake up, if you wake up, what will you do if you leave at such a young age, master? You still need to pass on the Buddhist scriptures and incense."
Li Shun said to the sky as if he had lost his soul at this moment.
"Buddha of all ages, please open your eyes. Why do hemp ropes only pick small places to cut, and hardships turn to seek misfortune? Buddha, please give me an explanation. Otherwise, what's the use of my trusting you?"
When Li Shunzheng was about to destroy the Buddha statues, the abbot of Mount Wutai led more than 10 monks to come out and preach.
"Donor, please don't make trouble or be alarmed. If you follow the monk and nun and her merits will be fulfilled, the poor monk is willing to help the monk and nun to save her, so that her soul can go to the western paradise unimpeded."
In the early 3rd year of Jiande, Yu Wenzhi, who was made a prince and became a master, had always been resentful of the emperor for not giving him real power. He was so violent that he finally couldn't help but take advantage of Yuwen Yong's departure from Chang'an to Yunyang Palace to recuperate and raise his troops in the capital. Rebel attack.
"Yu Wenyong treats me as a joke, so don't blame me for disowning his imperial brother."
Yu Wenzhi led his army to attack Su Zhangmen, the fortress of Chang'an City, with great force. He wanted to enter the palace and seize the throne. Yu Chide, who had just assumed the post of Shangzhu Kingdom, came to the city gate holding an eight-edged Xuanhua double-edged ax weighing 300 kilograms and shouted at the city gate. road.
"My son Yu Wenzhi, the Holy One has always treated you well. Why do you want to take life and death? No matter how many generations it takes, you will never be the emperor."
Yuwen said straight.
"Bah, stop talking nonsense and accept your fate."
After saying that, Yu Wenzhi picked up the reins and urged the horse forward, then struck Yuchi Dege with a knife, wishing to kill Yuchi De with one knife.
"This guy, good guy."
Looking at it, Yuwen was a little bit uncontrollable. He directly struck the Ax Ninja with another knife. There was a fierce collision of metal, but the two of them struggled to fight for their strength on the horse.
The yellow colt held a 300-pound ax under his crotch and struck it with one swoop. Yu Wenzhi had no choice but to shake the knife horizontally, causing his hands to bleed. He even tore off the man and the horse, and could only stagger away in defeat.
Yu Wenzhi spoke in a hurry.
"Shangzhu Kingdom, please spare my life."
Yuchide tied up Yu Wenzhi and walked all the way to Suzhang Gate. When he saw the soldiers gathered under the city, Yu Wenzhi said angrily.
"Set the door on fire."
Yuchide was afraid that once the gate was burned through, the rebels rushed into the palace and occupied important positions in the court, so he shouted.
"I see who dares to move. Anyone who sets fire to the door, don't blame the big ax in our hand for not recognizing anyone."
Just when the rebels were frightened by Yu Chide's momentum and retreated repeatedly, before they had time to break into the palace, the reinforcements had already rushed in to cover up and kill all the way to Jingzhou, and finally arrested another group of rebels belonging to Yu Wenzhi.
Emperor Yu Wenyong was very angry.
"The reason why we don't give him real power is because we want him to enjoy his life in peace and contentment. How come my brother doesn't distinguish between good and bad? Forget it, we won't hold him accountable."
Yu Wenzhi still refused to give up. Even after being forgiven by Emperor Yu Wenyong, he still had dissatisfaction. He either sent letters to the Wu brothers in Shanxi or tried to figure out how to rebel every day.
Emperor Yuwen Yong was completely furious.
"You were born from the same mother as me. I can't bear to kill you. Let's let General Yuchide come and take a few turns with you."
This time, Yu Chide, who was personally ordered by the Holy Emperor, did not dare to neglect and said straight to Yu Wen.
"Let me ask you whether you will surrender?"
I saw that Yu Wen took a mouthful of thick phlegm and glanced at the ground.
"No surrender."
Yu Wenzhi was so angry that he came to fight with his horse and waved his sword, but Yu Chide flew up and hit him with an axe, breaking the sword that Yu Wenzhi was holding in half.
"Beast, I will fight you to the death today!"
Yuchide threw it in the air again and fell down. He caught it and cut Yu Wenzhi into two pieces. Yu Wenzhi grabbed a handful of quicksand and watched it slowly leak out. Not long after, he tilted his head and returned.
A month later, the empress dowager, who was devastated by the death of her son, fell asleep due to drunkenness and passed away suddenly.
