Across the distance of time and space, the fog on the long river of history seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
Ye Qin's pupils shrank slightly. He never expected that there would be this string of rosary beads under the ditch, and that it would appear next to him in such a way!
Things that existed in the past were actually brought back to the present by Ye Qin. Can it prove that what he experienced is true?
Otherwise where did this rosary come from?
Originally, Ye Qin had some doubts. These were just fictitious scenes, a spiritual journey, and did not exist in reality.
But the historical fog of previous human discussions, and now the rosary, forced him to have some doubts. Maybe he had never been a spectator, but a participant in personal experience?
No matter it was Zuo Ci before, or the old punting man behind, or Zhidun this time.
Did he really enter the past history and have some kind of intersection with the people, things, and things in it?
"Could it be that the old man's ancient sword was not something I imagined, but like the rosary beads, it was accidentally brought out by the effect of my water channel?"
Ye Qin's thoughts could not calm down for a long time, as if a small stone fell into the calm lake of his heart.
As the beads were fished out by Ye Qin, the water channel soon returned to calm. The water surface was like a mirror, becoming clear again, and you could see the bottom at a glance.
The dreamlike atmosphere gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed, and the hazy water vapor wrapped in the long river of history was also evaporated. The water channel became ordinary again, as if it was just an ordinary decoration.
But Ye Qin already knows that its role is far more than that!
…
The reason why this rosary can be brought out from the fragments of time must be because of the water channel, just like the previous ancient sword.
The water canals were fed back by Ye Qin after imagining rivers in his passages over time.
Therefore, it itself carries the power of time. It was born in the past and spans time, just like a long river of time. This must be why it has such a magical effect.
"It turns out that the function of the water channel is to bring out objects from the fragments of time? Can it bring people out?"
Ye Qin began to think divergently, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible. After all, the existence of the fragment of time was special. If a ghost monk was brought out at that time, wouldn't it be a failure?
"You can only bring out objects, which is impressive enough. They are all 'antiques' after all!"
If tomb robbers or archaeological experts knew about this, they would probably go crazy.
Ye Qin thought of this and suddenly had an idea to try to take the rosary out of the Taoist temple and let it come to the real world from a spiritual level!
It should be noted that the Shangqing Guan is an imaginary object, held in the hand by the white bones of the original source, and does not exist in the real world.
But unfortunately, after trying for a long time, Ye Qin had no choice but to give up.
Thinking about it, the bones have not become real, they can only cast a shadow. And how can the things in the Shangqing Temple be brought into the material world?
"If it succeeds, it will be equivalent to a time and space merchant."
"It's a pity that it can't be separated from the spiritual level and brought to the real world. Maybe these things brought out can only be used in the fragments of time?"
"If one day the original bones come true, then surely the things brought out in the fragments of time will also come true!"
However, these are just Ye Qin's conjectures for the time being. When he enters the mottled years next time, he can verify the effectiveness of the water channel.
Ye Qin looked at the rosary on the tail again, and there were still water drops hanging on it. It was originally an ordinary object, but because it had been soaked in the canal and traveled across time and space, it actually gave birth to an extraordinary aura.
As for the function of this rosary, Ye Qin doesn't know yet, but he must have some magical powers after messing with time and space for many years, right?
"I wonder if it will be the same as a magic weapon?"
"It's a pity that the old man's ancient sword, if I had known it was a real thing that Shuiqu brought out from the fragments of time, I wouldn't have escaped."
Damn, it’s a bit of a loss...
Ye Qin calmed down, the surrounding scenery returned to its original state, and the energy fluctuations in the air also calmed down. When he released his spiritual power again, he could no longer feel the breath of time.
This matter finally came to a perfect end.
This fragment of the mottled years brought Ye Qin a great surprise. Not only did he enlighten the theory about Xuan Buddha, he even developed the special function of water channels.
Things that transcend time and space are absolutely extraordinary, and the same is true for that water channel. It had been silent before, but now it finally revealed its special side.
After struggling for most of the night, when Ye Qin walked out of the wild temple, the sky had already turned fish-belly white.
"It's dawn."
The sky was filled with red clouds and rippling golden waves. The sky gradually turned white, and a red sun was seen rising slowly. From it, dazzling light shot out, passing through the trees and paths in the forest, shining on the wild temple.
The originally dilapidated building seemed to have a special color and seemed a bit mysterious. It was still relatively early at this time, and there was a hazy layer of fog between the mountains and fields that had not completely dissipated.
Ye Qin finally looked back at the small temple at the end of the road, and then embarked on the journey again, the winding green figure dissipating in the mist.
Although he is a Taoist, he does not reject Buddhist teachings.
Even here, Ye Qin learned from each other's strengths and perfectly integrated the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. The sparks of thinking continued to collide, creating an original and unique concept of his own.
So Ye Qin's next destination is still the temples to see if he can gain any insights.
If Buddha is used for mystical purposes, it may be a completely new and different experience.
"I haven't done any visualization yet at the realm of becoming an elixir. Let's see if we can find new objects for visualization."
Thinking like this, Ye Qin gradually walked away.
…
There are quite a few temples, probably because of the large number of believers. Putting all the temples together, it is not difficult to find them.
Ye Qin doesn't stick to specifications. Whenever he sees a temple, he will go there.
If you visit a small temple, you will finish it quickly, if you go to a large temple, it will take a while. Ye Qin is either at the temple or on the way to the temple.
Occasionally, he would hide his figure and listen to the monks chanting or preaching.
It is a pity that these monks are not of high moral character and their sermons are not very meaningful. They are superficial and of little help to Ye Qin.
It's not that these monks are cheating, or that their morals are not good, it's just that they have not reached the corresponding state yet, and are far inferior to the previous Taoist priest Qingwei.
There are really very few people who can make Ye Qin feel something. This phenomenon is also normal. Otherwise, it would be like there are experts everywhere.
Unknowingly, Ye Qin had visited all the temples in Fog City, but he also came to the boundary of Yunling City.
I had been here once a year ago, because someone kidnapped the beasts in the mountains. Ye Qin came here and turned into bones, killed many people, and rescued his little brother.
Along the way, Ye Qin also roughly learned about Zhi Dun's life, and it turned out that he was actually a famous monk in history.
Ordinary people may not understand it, but to Buddhists, the name Zhidun is like thunder.
Later, I heard that Zhi Dun once founded a temple here. Now, with the passage of time, it has developed into a famous local scenic spot. On weekdays, there are many people who come here to worship, and it can be said that the incense is strong.
This also explains why there is a wild temple in the foggy city adjacent to Yunling.
It must have been that Zhi Dun had traveled around the country and practiced in various temples, thus leaving behind his footprints.
The temple in Yunling City is called Qiguang Temple and has a history of thousands of years. It faces the Yunling Lake with vast expanse of blue waves and shining silver, and is backed by towering mountains with continuous peaks, heavy rocks and green mountains. It can be said that there are mountains have water.
There are also several powerful and leafy ancient trees in the temple. According to legend, Zhidun planted them himself.
It is the weekend, and Qiguang Temple is the first choice for many people because of its beautiful scenery. It is a good place to spend time while worshiping Buddha and sightseeing.
Among them were Bai Yanfei and his grandfather.
After finally finishing the things at hand, there were no cases recently, and her grandfather believed in Buddhism, so Bai Yanfei decided to accompany her grandfather for a walk.
The previous Yin Qi murder case was like a huge stone weighing on Bai Yanfei's heart, making her almost breathless. Even now, she is still thinking about things related to the case.
Although the old man was in his seventies, he could be seen to be in high spirits. He noticed Bai Yanfei's distraction and shouted several times, but there was no response.
"You little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Yanfei subconsciously answered, "I'm thinking about the case."
The old man sighed, "You finally have the weekend off, but your head is still full of cases. It seems that I, an empty nester, don't hold as much weight in your heart as one case."
Faced with the old man's teasing, Bai Yanfei felt dumbfounded.
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant. Didn't I have a case on my hands some time ago? Team Zhou and I went to Fog City to investigate. That case is a bit complicated."
Thinking of this, Bai Yanfei couldn't help but think of what happened in Longyuan Mountain, and her brows knitted together again.
Regarding the Yin Qi murder case, the murderer has not been found so far. I originally thought that going to Longyuan Mountain would solve the problem, but unexpectedly it only added a lot of doubts.
"Young people should not frown all the time, otherwise they will become unattractive."
Bai Yanfei felt a warm current in her heart, "Grandpa, it's rare that you accompany me today. We don't talk about work. It's because I'm usually too busy and don't have much time to see you."
The old man was very understanding, "As long as you can come and visit grandpa when you are free, I will be satisfied."
The old man seemed to have thought of something, "I heard that the amulets at Qiguang Temple are very effective. I will ask you for one when the time comes, and it will also keep you safe outside."
Bai Yanfei was not used to carrying accessories, and it was not allowed in her workplace. She was about to refuse, but the old man seemed to know what she was going to say.
"Just listen to grandpa. You are a girl and you are in this kind of profession. It is easy to meet bad people. It is too dangerous. You might as well ask for an amulet to make grandpa feel at ease."
Bai Yanfei couldn't refuse her grandfather's kindness. After all, the older generation still believed in this.
The scenery here at Qiguang Temple is indeed good and refreshing.
Looking at the magnificent temple in front of her, Bai Yanfei thought of the mountain temple in Longyuan Mountain and the legend about the mountain god, and her expression became dazed again.
Who would have thought that there would be so many secrets hidden in a green mountain.
While the old man was asking for amulets, Bai Yanfei started wandering around the temple.
At the same time, Ye Qin also sneaked into the temple quietly under the cover of the surrounding green plants.
The temple is antique. Although it has been renovated, most of it is still well preserved. These can be said to be historical relics.
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng, I don't know how many miles it is."
Among the sounds of chanting wooden fish, I heard different contents.
It is from Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou".
The voice was a little childish, and he could tell that he was in a very young age.
I saw two monks not far away. The older one was about fifty or sixty years old, and the younger one was probably no more than ten years old.
What the young monk is holding is the Taoist classic "Zhuangzi".
He raised his head, his young and innocent face full of confusion, "Master, why don't you read Buddhist scriptures? Read this."
The older monk smiled slightly and said, "Xuan is for Buddha's use. Do you know that the contents in family classics can sometimes make us feel something? It can be regarded as a kind of spiritual practice."
"Our temple was founded by Master Zhidun. Unlike other temples, we should uphold his ideas and carry forward Master Zhidun's views."
It is said that when Qiguang Temple was first established, Zhidunhui often preached sutras and sermons to the monks in the temple.
"Xuan is used by Buddha" is his most classic technique. It is fascinating and easy to understand, which has benefited the monks in the temple here a lot.
Later, in order to commemorate Master Zhidun, a golden body was specially carved for worship.
The young monk's eyes were full of admiration and awe, "I have also heard the story of Master Zhidun. When I grow up, I will become as powerful a person as him."
The older monk nodded, "Master Zhidun's life is quite legendary. With his unique insights, he re-annotated "Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Chapter" and gave "Xiaoyao" a new meaning."
"At the same time, he established the theory that "color is empty, and color is different from empty", and founded the Jise Sect among the "Six Schools and Seven Schools" of Prajna theory, which had a profound impact on later generations."
According to Liang Huijiao's "Biography of Eminent Monks·Zhidun Biography", the master's family was a Buddhist, "with spiritual principles and wisdom at a young age."
Sun Chuo, a writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote "The Theory of Taoist Sages". When he paired the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove with the seven Buddhist Taoists, he paired Master Zhidun with Xiang Xiu and said: "Zhidun, Xiang Xiu, is elegant and admiring "Zhuang" and "Lao". The two sons are different." At that time, the wind was very mysterious."
This shows that contemporary people have high regard for him.
There are many opinions about Zhidun, and most of them are praise. This can also be seen from the comments of wise men and celebrities at that time.
According to the biography: "Eun often stayed at Baima Temple and discussed "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyao Chapter" with Liu Xizhi and others. He said that each person's nature is Xiaoyao. Eun said: "Otherwise, Jie Zhi's nature is to mutilate, if his nature is For those who have gained it, they are also at ease. "
Among the six schools and seven schools of Prajna Buddhism, Master Zhidun has a very high reputation.
"Shishuo Xinyu·Literature" states: "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyao Chapter" is still a difficult place, and famous sages can learn about it, but they cannot separate the principles from Guo and Xiangwai. Table, establish a different meaning beyond the family virtuous. "
Wang Meng praised him as Wang Bi in the Buddhist world. He Yan, Xie An said that he was even better than Ji Kang.
His disciple Qie Chao, who is also the author of "Fengfa Yao", even commented: "Master Lin has a spiritual understanding and Xuanba has a unique understanding. For hundreds of years, Shao Ming Dafa has made the truth endless. There is only one person."
Zhi Daolin's theory criticized both "original no sect" and "xin wu sect" and inherited some of them. Although it was not fully grasped, it did surpass other schools in theory.
Therefore, as soon as his theory came out, it had a huge impact and became the third major school of thought, along with the "original nothingness" and "mind nothingness" schools. People called his theory the "Jise Sect".
It is said that the famous monk Yu Fakai advocated the "Knowledge Han Sect" and often argued with Zhidun about "the meaning of color and emptiness". Later, most people sided with Zhidaolin. Yu Fakai was angry and left Jiankang to escape to Shan County.
The elderly monk's words were humorous and interesting, and he told about Zhidun's life, interspersed with a lot of Buddhist principles, which can be said to be fascinating.
"As the saying goes, 'Form is emptiness, emptiness is form', it comes from Master Zhidun!"
Both the young monk and Bai Yanfei who wandered here were very fascinated.
Bai Yanfei was even more surprised. She had naturally heard of the famous saying "Color is Emptiness". Ordinary people often talked about it, but she never expected that it came from Master Zhidun.
The young monk sighed with emotion, "Master Zhidun is so amazing. At that time, he could come up with such a unique point of view, which can be said to be ahead of everyone else."
Because of Zhidun Tanxuan, many celebrities in the government and the public who were engaged in metaphysics at that time formed an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. They had close relationships with Buddhists and even became sworn friends.
For example, people such as Dao'an and Huiyuan turned from metaphysics to Buddhism, followed Buddhism and became famous monks. This shows how far-reaching the influence of Zhidun is.
The old monk shook his head, "Actually, Master Zhidun's view was not like this at first. It was recorded in his handwriting in later generations: After a sermon on the sutras, Master Zhidun was inspired and came up with this idea. All kinds of unique insights behind it.”
The young monk became more curious after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "Who is Master Zhidun talking about? It can actually bring inspiration to Master Zhidun."
Hearing this, other pilgrims also listened attentively. Even Bai Yanfei was particularly curious. What kind of ancient sages could have such ability to directly confuse a generation of Buddhist masters?
However, the old monk shook his head, "There is no detailed record in the handbook. Master Zhidun only said that the person who discussed the Tao was his own inspiration."
"This person is very mysterious. Even Master Zhidun has not revealed it. There are only a few strokes in the handbook, but he plays a vital role. These few strokes make him even more mysterious."
The old monk was obviously also very curious. He recalled that in ancient times, there were many sages, but there was such a mysterious power who could guide the master and solve his doubts.
Finally, as many pilgrims listened with fascination and immersion, a sigh rang out, and the old monk was fascinated, "But come to think of it, he must be a powerful person!"
"It's just that Qingshi doesn't leave his name!"
