The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 468 460: In the Ancient Temple, Yuan Ba ​​Gets Double Hammers
Under the leadership of Duan Wuji, the three of them walked down the mountain road all the way to the southwest.

On the extended journey, the scenery is indeed not bad, but you can see that: the green hills are still green, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen.Weeds clip the ancient road, and crickets hide in it.Wild Fang invades the ancient road, as if competing with passers-by.

The singing of birds on the wild trees seems to startle the cicadas.

Tourists walk by, blowing the wind.

The three of them were walking, admiring the scenery on both sides. They hadn't gone out for many days, and all the suffocation that was suppressed in their hearts was blown out.

The three walked out for a hundred miles in one breath, and the scenery on both sides was enough.

Tie Niu asked with a smile: "Yuanba, have you seen the treasure you want?"

"How can there be any treasure? This road is full of stones, so there is nothing I want!

well!I think we have made this trip in vain today, why don't we go back!
Now I am also hungry, and it will take another eight hours to walk back!What's the matter, we have to go back to eat too!

Brothers, do you think this makes sense? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, tell me that's not the case. If you want to get your favorite baby, how can you do it if you don't have a certain degree of sincerity!

Brother, do you think it makes sense? "

"Well! Ordinarily, that's the reason, why don't we go ahead and see!

Let's see if we can meet any opportunities! "

The three of them continued to walk forward, and after another six or seven miles, an ancient temple suddenly appeared on the hillside ahead.

This temple is very grand, with dozens of houses, the gate is also very grand, and the tall courtyard walls are located in the barren hills.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "There is an ancient temple in front, let's go in, let's go in and have a look, and see what gods are worshiped in this temple!"

The three of them climbed up the steps and walked straight to the temple gate along the winding ancient road.

When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I saw a young monk in his thirties sitting and taking a nap on the gate of the temple!
Duan Wuji looked up and saw four large characters written on the temple gate.

"Tibetan Dragon Temple"

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "This ancient temple is called Hidden Dragon Ancient Temple, let's go, let's go and have a look, even if we can't get anything today, we will not be in vain for this trip."

Just as the three of them were about to step into the temple, the little monk who was sleeping at the entrance of the temple suddenly stood up.

"Infinite Life Buddha, you three, are you planning to enter this ancient temple?"

Duan Wuji smiled and nodded.

"Exactly, the three of us have a destiny with this ancient temple, so we want to go in and take a look, and pay some incense money by the way.

Little master, then let us go in! "

"Infinite Buddha, three, please come inside.

Last night, my family master understood the secret of Zen, and said that three distinguished guests would come to visit today, and asked me to wait at the gate of this temple to receive them.

Those three nobles must be the three of you.

Three, come with me!My ancestor is waiting in that meditation room! "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji smiled at Tieniu and Li Yuanba, then followed the little monk and walked into the ancient temple first.

Tieniu and Li Yuanba also followed in.

After entering this ancient temple, I saw that this ancient temple is a three-way house, and there are more than 20 main rooms in the north. The house looks tall and majestic!

There are fifteen or six wing rooms on the east and west sides, which are slightly lower than the main room on the north side.

Needless to say, the main room in the north is the place where the gods and Buddhas are enshrined, and the wing rooms are needless to say the rooms where monks live.

The little monk said: "Three, let's go, I will lead you to worship all the gods and Buddhas in our temple first!"

"Well! Alright then! Little Master, then lead the way ahead!

Why!Little master, what is your name? "

"Infinite Buddha, my little monk's name is Jue Yuan, and my layman's name is Yan Feilong."

"Oh! So that's the case! Master Jueyuan, how many years have you been a monk in this ancient temple?"

"Ah! To be honest, the poor monk has not been a monk for a long time, maybe eight or nine years.

Why!To be honest, I don’t know exactly how many years this has been going on. Now that I’ve become a monk, who remembers that!

well!Now this time has nothing to do with me waiting. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Master Jueyuan, your comprehension is so high!

This is called practice without years, and the Jiazi will be tumbling!

Master Jueyuan, you will definitely become an eminent monk in the future! "

"Boundless Buddha, benefactor, you are wrong again, monks, how can they fight for fame and wealth!

These fame and fortune are not destined to be monks!

I cultivated hard, not seeking fame, but peace of mind! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! Tall, tall, really tall! It seems that we worldly people don't forget this truth!

Master Jueyuan, let's go! "

Saying that, the four of them walked straight to the main hall!
After entering the main hall, I saw three Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall!

The Qingyang Buddha is on the right, the Red Sheep Buddha is in the middle, and the Maitreya Buddha with a big belly is on the right side of the Red Sheep Buddha, holding a human seed bag with a smile in his hand.

That's really something that a big belly can tolerate, and the world can't tolerate it!

Laughing often, laughing at the ridiculous people in the world!

The three of them looked at it for a long time, then took the incense handed by the young monk, lit it, knelt down and worshiped.

After the worship was over, the three stood up, clasped their hands together and saluted.

After the ceremony, Tie Niu asked: "Brother Wuji, do you know who these three Buddha statues are?"

"Why don't you know this! These are the three ruling Buddhas, the Qingyang Buddha is the past Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha is also called the Baiyang Buddha, which is the future Buddha.

The one in the middle is the Red Goat Buddha, also known as the current Buddha. These are the three Buddhas in charge of the world, do you understand? "

"Hmm! Brother, after what you said, I understand now!"

The monk Jueyuan laughed and said: "Infinite Buddha, this benefactor, you know quite a lot! Could it be that you also have a predestined relationship with my Buddhist family?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Jueyuan! I, Duan Wuji, have always believed that if there is a predestined relationship with this Buddhist family, then the predestined relationship is not particularly great!"

"Immeasurable Buddha, isn't it! So, then you are a friend of the Taoist school.

The three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism have now become one, jointly educate me, a person of Middle Earth!

These three religions belong to the same family in China, and everyone is most influenced by each other.

There's nothing too special about this one either.

Three benefactors, let's go, follow me to meet the master abbot!
Let our abbot take a look, are the three people who have a relationship with this temple the three of you?

Let's make sure there is no misunderstanding! "

"Okay then! We just want to meet the eminent monks of our temple, so we can learn a lot by the way!"

Several people said, and under the leadership of the monk Jueyuan, they walked straight to a room in the east wing.

"Master, three benefactors happened to come outside our temple, you old man, take a look and see if these three are the ones who are destined for this temple!"

"Infinite Buddha, Jue Yuan! Why don't you invite the three benefactors in!
Now that you have come to the small temple, how can you say that you have no destiny with this temple!

It's just that the fate is big or small! "

Under the leadership of Jue Yuan, Duan Wuji and the others went straight to the abbot's room.

When I entered the room, I saw an old monk sitting on the futon. He must be in his 70s no matter how old he was.

When the three of them saw this, they rushed forward to salute the old monk, and the old monk stood up from the futon.

"Three benefactors, don't be too polite, sit aside and watch!"

After hearing this, the three of them immediately sat down on a few futons beside them.

"Three benefactors, where are you from? May I ask the three benefactors, what do you do for a living?"

Tieniu and Li Yuanba looked at Duan Wuji after listening, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Ancestor, I am dissatisfied with you. The three of us are all martial arts practitioners. We have nothing to do today. We came here specially to play in this mountain. The three of us feel that we have some fate with this ancient temple. Therefore, I deliberately came in and took a look.

Master Patriarch, do you know that the three of us must come to this temple! "

"Infinite Buddha, Lao Na practiced meditation yesterday, Lao Na understood the mechanism of Zen, and found that there must be three distinguished guests visiting today, and one of them must be destined to a weapon in this temple!

In the past ten days or so, a weapon in the small temple has been shining brightly, shining brightly in the temple!

Lao Na knew that this weapon must be born, this is God's will, no one can stop it! "

Li Yuanba smiled and said, "What kind of weapon is this? Can you tell me about it!"

"Infinite Buddha, our ancient temple used to be called Hammer Dragon Temple, I think this name is not very nice, so Lao Na changed it to today's name 60 years ago.

This hidden dragon temple was rebuilt by Lao Na 60 years ago.

When Lao Na first became a monk in this ancient temple, my teacher ancestor told me when he passed away that once a weapon in this temple shines, it means that it will be born again .

My master ancestor once told me that once this weapon is born, its master can sweep the world, and it is rare to meet opponents.

Also, once this weapon is born, it will generally not exceed ten years. After a few years, it will return to silence again! "

"Really! What kind of weapon? Can you show us there!"

"What kind of weapon? It's a pair of sledgehammers. Its name is the Leiguwengjinhammer. This hammer is so heavy that ordinary people can't handle it like Ben.

Three benefactors, if anyone of you can handle this pair of sledgehammers, this pair of hammers will be his.

Come on, follow me to have a look! "

The three stood up and followed the old monk to another meditation room.

I saw a pair of golden hammers in this meditation room. The hammers were too big. They were three sizes bigger than ordinary sledgehammers. The handle and body of the hammers were covered with gold water, and the whole sledgehammer flashed. With dazzling golden light.

The three of them nodded when they saw it. This sledgehammer is too beautiful.

Tieniu walked over and picked up the pair of sledgehammers with a stroke of luck.

"Brother Wuji, this weapon is too beautiful. Well, the quantity is enough. If it goes to the battlefield, few people can withstand this pair of sledgehammers!"

The old monk saw it and said with a smile: "Since you can move this pair of sledgehammers, then they are yours. Lao Na must not break his promise!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Although I can move it, I, Tie Niu, don't like it.

Besides, I, Tieniu, have my own weapons. I only like to use big sticks, and I am not interested in this sledgehammer. "

With that said, Tieniu put down the sledgehammer again.

Duan Wuji walked over, reached out and picked up the pair of hammers as well.

"Well, this weapon is really good, let's go, let's play it in the yard!"

The old monk stared straight at the sight.

"Infinite Buddha, little benefactor, you can handle this pair of hammers!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Isn't it just a pair of hammers! What's the matter!

To be honest, if I use it, it really doesn't take much effort. "

As he spoke, Duan Wuji lifted the pair of sledgehammers into the yard.

Then, Duan Wuji swung his sledgehammer around the yard a few times.

After the practice, Duan Wuji put the sledgehammer on the ground again, Duan Wuji looked at Li Yuanba and said, "Brother, it's your turn now, you should play a few times too!"

After hearing this, Li Yuanba walked over, stretched out his hand and picked up the pair of sledgehammers, and then danced a few times like Duan Wuji, and then put the sledgehammers on the ground.

The old monk was dumbfounded.

"Infinite Buddha, I have opened my eyes today, I didn't expect the three of you to be able to move this sledgehammer!

This, who is best to own this sledgehammer! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Is there any need to talk about this! My Brother Tie Niu is good at using big sticks, so he will definitely look down on this pair of sledgehammers.

As for me!Under normal circumstances, I would like to use a sword, so naturally I would not want this sledgehammer.

Yuanba, in my opinion, this pair of sledgehammers belongs to you!
Didn't you not have that handy weapon until now? "

Li Yuanba was overjoyed.

"Brother Wuji, I thought you liked this pair of sledgehammers!

Didn't expect you don't want it either!

Well, this pair of sledgehammers will be my weapon from now on.

From now on, I will practice hammering hard, and I will use it to conquer the world in the future.

Two elder brothers, I will remember your kindness today. If I, Li Yuanba, become popular in the future, I will definitely repay you generously in the future! "

When the old monk saw that the three had made an agreement, he was very happy and said, "Infinite Buddha, benefactor, congratulations on getting the weapon.

Few of these martial arts practitioners are those who are too poor!
You have to measure this pair of hammers, each of these hammers weighs hundreds of catties!

Such a good weapon, I think you will not want it for nothing!
Even if it is treated as scrap iron, I am afraid it is worth ten taels of silver! "

Li Yuanba laughed and said, "Master Abbot, don't worry! I, Li Yuanba, will not ask for your weapons for nothing. I will definitely send you a thousand taels of silver in the future."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Abbot, please rest assured, the person who got the sledgehammer is not someone else, he is the fourth son of the left-behind envoy, he will not ask for your weapon for nothing, their family has a lot of money, give more Money is not a problem for the two of you.

Don't worry about this! "

The old abbot nodded.

"Infinite Buddha, if the nobleman gets this hammer, then I will be relieved!

Besides, since the hammer was about to be born, no force would be able to stop it. Even if Lao Na didn't take any money, he would give it away.

If this thing stays in the small temple, it may not be a good thing!

Lao Na wouldn't do such a stupid thing. "

This Li Yuanba is very happy now.

"Brother Wuji, Brother Tie Niu, since I got this beloved thing today, let's go back first!
If there is anything, let's go back and do it!

Teacher, father, let's go back first, let's meet again in the future! "

"Three, you can leave casually, Lao Na will never stop you.

If there is a destiny, let's meet again in the future. "
