The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 292 Young Xuanzang, Jingnian Temple (4k)

I don't know if the Confucianism's cultivation methods have been passed down?It can't be just a kind of ideology without corresponding practice methods, right?

Zhao Qing secretly thought, thinking of some famous Confucian scholars besides Wang Tong, such as Liu Xuan, Liu Zhuo, Kong Yingda, etc. It is estimated that these people should have the inheritance of Confucianism.

It is said that the chief military officer of the Ssangyong Young Marshal's Army did it falsely. The origin of martial arts is relatively mysterious. Later, he also opened a Zhongli Academy, which seems to be a school of Confucianism.

……

The collection of books in Laojunguan includes "Su Nu Jing", "Yufang Zhiyao", "Secrets in the House", "Peng Zu's Nourishing Nature", etc., books such as Tianxing Shushu, Yin Yang and Five Elements, heresy and so on. There are also many.

Of course, what really made Zhao Qing gain something were some isolated copies of Daoist scriptures that have not been circulated in later generations, as well as many early versions of Daoist scriptures in later generations, which expounded the views of Taoist sages on "Tao" and "practice". Speaking of it, the value is not inferior to the magical skills such as "Sizheng Tiangang".

It has to be said that as a sect that originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has a long history, Laojunguan has a profound foundation. Even if it is not as good as Cihang Jingzhai, which is called the holy place of martial arts, it may not be inferior to the Yingui sect, Tianshidao, and Shangqing sect. How many;

Although Zhao Qing had browsed a lot of classics in the previous worlds, many of them were lost or incomplete due to wars in the later dynasties. Immersed in it, unknowingly, I stayed until night.

Putting down a simple Taoist scripture in her hand, she quietly floated out of the Buddhist scripture hall in the temple, and came to the highest cliff of Cuiyun Peak in Mang Mountain. The bright lights reach the southern suburbs more than ten miles away.

It was a majestic temple built on a mountain, hidden deep in the forest, with numerous halls and austere atmosphere. Although it was not famous in the martial arts world, it was the Jingnian Temple with a high status.

Regardless of whether He's Bi is hidden in the Buddhist monastery or not, it is one of Zhao Qing's next goals to try Master Liaokong's martial arts in the temple and understand the secrets of this Buddhist martial art.

I saw her robe fluttering slightly, and she jumped straight down from Cuiyun Peak, which is nearly a hundred feet high. Mingyu's aura overlaps with Gang's aura, and she glides to Luoyang City under the night, ready to reach the city and traverse north and south. The Luohe River travels on waves, leading to the south of the city by the shortest path.

……

In the southern suburbs of Luoyang City, there are hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like the Jingnian Temple in a small town. As the night gradually deepened, melodious bells came down from the mountain.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young monk with an extraordinary temperament raised his head, looked at the "Entering Ones Are Destined" written on the forehead above the mountain gate and the couplets engraved on both sides, and felt peaceful in his heart. The scene of entering the mountain gate of the East Pure Land Temple and becoming a monk.

Jingnian Temple, an ancient Zen temple that was first built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is more than 300 years earlier than the Jingtu Temple where it was established. It is almost as old as the Baima Temple, the ancestral home of Chinese Buddhism. It is actually the largest temple in Luoyang with the most complete Buddhist scriptures. .

After I had memorized all the classics in the monastery, my second elder brother, Chang Jie, specially greeted Master Bu’an here, and allowed me to go to the monastery to transcribe Buddhist scriptures. I don’t know how many volumes I can record in one night?

I heard that Master Liaokong of Jingnian Temple has been a well-known eminent monk in Luoyang City for decades. Every time he opens an altar to give lectures, there are thousands of people gathered and attention from all directions. However, in the past 12 years, he has stayed behind closed doors. , seems to be practicing some profound Zen method.

If you have the opportunity, you must ask this venerable master some difficult problems in the "Lianhua Sutra" and "Vimalakirti Sutra".

Xuanzang thought secretly in his heart, stepped into the mountain gate, and saw the first seven-bay hall in the square behind the gate, and the light blue cigarettes curling up in the temple.

At the same time, at a distance of more than ten feet away from him, Zhao Qing walked nonchalantly in the Zen courtyard, glanced at this handsome young monk not far away, and used "He Xintong" to detect the other party's identity. Identity, slightly surprised in my heart.

Is it actually Master Xuanzang when he was young?It turns out that he is now a monk in the Jingtu Temple in Jianyangmen in the east of Luoyang. He wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures at Jingnian Temple, and it was still 12 years before he went west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Guan is currently known as the Four Great Sages, Master Wisdom of Tiantai Sect, Master Jiaxiang of Sanlun Sect, Venerable Emperor Xin of Huayan Sect, and Master Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. They are all equal to Ning Daoqi in terms of strength. above the master;
During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Three Patriarchs of Huayan, Xianshou Master, had martial arts and status faintly above that of the master of Jingzhaizhai, Fei Xuan, who had already cultivated "Zhiyin Wuji". Even the empress Wu Zhao is quite afraid, most likely she has surpassed the level of a grand master;

Obviously, the truly famous eminent monks in Buddhism, especially the patriarchs of various sects, are all top masters who started as masters, and their martial arts and Zen methods have reached a state of perfection.

Master Xuanzang received the supreme respect of "Mahayana Heaven" and "Liberation Heaven" in Tianzhu. In China, he was the founder of Dharma Xiangzong. Still above Jiaxiang, Dixin, Xianshou and others.

In the world of Huang Yi, perhaps it is a supreme master who can break through Buddhism, reach the peak cultivation level of the Bodhisattva of the Tenth Bodhisattva, transcend the ordinary and enter the sage, and is one of the highest realms in the history of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, when I went to Jingnian Temple to search for Heshibi this time, I was able to meet Xuanzang, who is famous in later generations, but is now just a young monk.

Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and inspected Xuanzang's situation at close range, and found that he had a good cultivation level at a young age, was extremely talented, had the ability of photographic memory, and was born with extremely strong mental power. Love talent.

Speaking of which, Xuanzang's talent in Buddhist practice is astonishing. If he were allowed to practice Taoism and martial arts, would his achievements be even higher?
The Buddhist scriptures that he retrieved and translated from his journey westward had all been written down by the sweeping monk himself and passed on to him directly. What would be the result?
With a slight movement in his mind, Zhao Qing lifted part of the external mental shield, and pulled Xuanzang to his side, leading him to leap twenty feet into the sky, and together they went to the depths of the Jingnian Temple.

"Little monk, I'm about to visit Zen Master Liao Kong in the monastery, so you should come with me."

Leaping silently through the air with an unimaginable concealment technique, she immediately saw the panorama of the entire Jingnian Temple, and at the same time sensed the strange fluctuations coming from the temple, confirming the location of He Shibi.

I saw that the main buildings in the temple are arranged in sequence on the central axis facing the temple gate. A platform square that is hundreds of feet wide, built of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings is the center of the temple, with a complete and uniform scale.

All the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, the color is as new, especially the peacock blue in the three-color is the most dazzling, all have far-reaching eaves and high eaves corners, which together create a profound and solemn atmosphere of the temple, full of religion. infectious power.

In the middle of Baishi Square, there is a bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, riding on the back of a golden-haired lion, about two feet high. Beside the shrines are the three Buddhas of the third generation, such as Medicine Master, Sakyamuni and Amitabha.

On the four sides of the Baishi platform, except for the entrances and exits of the four stone steps, there are five hundred arhats on average, all made of gold and copper. Lifelike, no different from a living person.

In just a split second, Zhao Qing realized that the person who designed and cast these arhats should be a Buddhist master. Consciously or unintentionally, he showed the profound skills in the various poses of the arhats. It implies a mysterious truth, which is similar to the hand-painted version of the Arhat statue in Dashi Temple in Chengdu.

After a brief comprehension, she realized the vast artistic conception of the heavenly monk in the past, who took it as his duty to study the world's religious sects, and only wished to discover the way of life and death. Unfathomable cultivation.

The other buildings in the temple, with the main hall on the axis as a whole, are distributed in all directions in an orderly manner, separated by trees and roads. Not only does it have a deep and far-reaching, peaceful and quiet atmosphere, but it also has a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Everywhere in this temple is not in accordance with the rules, hidden in a style of its own.The most astonishing thing is undoubtedly that the decoration of the building can still give people a sense of simplicity and authenticity in the extremely gorgeous arrangement, which can be said to imply Zen and Buddha meaning everywhere.

Taking a closer look at the layout of the entire Zen Temple, Zhao Qing deeply realized the principle of Taoism that "everything is inside, and everything is outside", and had a further understanding of Xiaoyaozi's mysterious stone carving of "using form to communicate with God". Aware of the common ground between Buddhism and Taoism.

At the same time, a mysterious and mysterious feeling of peace naturally surged in her heart, and she sensed the Heshi Bi located deep in the ground behind the Baishi Square, and a certain unfathomable truth of the universe hidden deep in the bi.

Three years later, the smaller copper temple has not yet been built, but there is a wooden pavilion that looks like it was built temporarily. A deep pit was dug in the ground inside the pavilion, several layers of copper plates were cast at the mouth of the pit, and a mouthful was buckled. The giant bronze bell is used as a barrier to Heshibi's supernatural power.

Even so, Zhao Qing could sense even the Temple of War God, which was blocked by formations thousands of miles away, and the copper plate several feet thick naturally did not play the role expected by the people in the Zen Temple, which made her discover He Shibi s position.

And ten feet away from the wooden pavilion, there is a hall where monks do evening classes. The sound of chant and chanting is melodious, as if it came from an unknown distance and spread throughout the temple.

In addition to the Heshibi, which has been handed down through the ages, on the left side of the wooden pavilion, on a stone road with bamboo trees on both sides, which is full of ancient flavor, the two roads are approaching, as if they are integrated with the heaven and the earth, which also attracted Zhao Qing's attention.

One of them has a profound Zen meaning that is almost undisturbed and constantly restrained inward, and has a silent and indescribable taste; Mind, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.

The first one should be the Zen master of Jingnian Temple, Liaokong.There is another one, could it be that Fan Qinghui, the contemporary vegetarian of Cihang Jingzhai, also came to the Buddhist temple?
The spiritual cultivation of these two people is very good, and they are carrying the "Jing Nian Zen Book" and "Cihang Sword Code" inherited by the heavenly monk Dini, which is enough to be my target to try tonight.

Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and Xuanzang, who looked a little flustered and curious, fell from the sky, just in front of the sealed gate of the wooden pavilion, but he didn't immediately break the door to search for the He family in the pavilion. Bi.

She just stood there quietly, looking towards the direction of the stone path on the left, and saw the true faces of Fan Qinghui and Liao Kong, the leaders of the two major Buddhist sects today. Transferred to Xuanzang's body, revealing his own figure.

Zen master Liaokong of Jingnian Temple looks like a young and handsome monk, less than 40 years old, but he is actually a rejuvenated old monk who is 90 years old. He is wearing a yellow inner robe and a brown coat. Showing his aloof posture that stands out from the crowd.

He has a slender and handsome figure, a straight nose, and looks very individual.The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip further accentuate some indescribable charm. Embedded in his slender face, it is not only very good-looking, but also has a leisurely look.

The chin is generous, and the beautiful face has a kind of divine light that is beyond the world. The demeanor is neither weak nor domineering, but it makes people look comfortable and natural.

What makes people unforgettable at first sight is his pair of deep and unpredictable eyes, which can make anyone have a heart that is both unpredictable and dare not be underestimated.

And next to Kong Kong, there is a nun with delicate features and delicate features, who seems nothing special at first glance, wearing a gray cotton robe. She seems to be in her thirties, but her plain and beautiful appearance shows the world's best. And the sense of vicissitudes that it is impossible to have anything to tempt her.

The bald head with all the black hair, especially emphasizes the clear and clear outline of her face like the undulating beauty of Lingxiu mountains and rivers. It is unbelievably beautiful, making people forget the mundane, as if thinking of other mundane things, it is a great feeling for her disrespectful behavior.

After many years of precipitation in the realm of "heart-to-heart" in "Cihang Sword Code", Fan Qinghui's spiritual sense based on the fairy fetus is particularly keen. The moment Zhao Qing's undisguised eyes fell on her, he saw the other party in turn. The presence.

It was a young girl about 15 years old, she naturally exuded an ethereal aura similar to that of the Sword of Practice, but she couldn't smell any smell, hear any sound, and couldn't feel her or grasp her at all.

She seems to be simply standing there, but it is just an illusion of form, like a projection of a higher-level universe, which is difficult to be touched by all means in the world, giving people a sense of tranquility and detachment.

A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjusri altar in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood was sending out a large amount of fragrance, permeating the entire space, but Fan Qinghui's mood not far away did not calm down at all, instead, he felt more and more with the fairy embryo induction. Deeper, the more depressed I want to vomit blood.

This otherworldly night visitor in front of me is specially staying at the door of the wooden pavilion where He's Bi is hidden, and in the mental contest just now, she has encountered setbacks for the first time since her debut. The purpose is self-evident , obviously came for this rare and rare treasure through the ages.

From this, it can be deduced that the martial arts cultivation of the comer is as high as at least comparable to the level of "Sword of Sword" in "Sword Code", reaching the level of the current great master, so he dared to enter the sacred place of Buddhist martial arts alone One of them, Jingnian Temple, even challenged Zen Master Kong and her.

The other party looks so young, but can possess such a shocking cultivation base. Is it because he has the technique of rejuvenating his youth, or the great master figure of the previous generation has awakened the wisdom of his past life?
Thinking of this, Fan Qinghui's face lit up with a holy radiance, and he quickly took two steps forward, immediately surging towards Zhao Qing, who was ten feet away, with a strong aura, and with a "clang", the tie on his back The hanging simple long sword has been unsheathed, and it is held tightly in the hand, pointing at the opponent from afar.

It was only a moment too late, Liao Kong, whose perception was limited due to the practice of "closed mouth meditation", also noticed the sudden appearance of Zhao Qing in front of him, and was startled suddenly, and also felt similar to Fan Qinghui, Can't help but be very afraid.

Since he didn't carry a bronze bell as a weapon, he knew that the strength he could display was limited to a certain extent. When fighting against masters of the same level, there would be a few more subtle flaws in defense, which was by no means a big one. Rivals of grand master enemies.

Thinking of this, the profound Zen lingering around Liaokong no longer restrained inwardly, his breath became extraordinarily majestic, he proclaimed the Buddha's name in a soft and generous voice, and said calmly: "Poor monk Liaokong, the almsgiver's night visit Did you come here for Heshibi?"

It's hard for anyone to imagine that he made such a decisive decision to break the closed-mouth meditation he had practiced for many years for the first time he met Zhao Qing, who was unknown in the Jianghu.

And at the moment when the voice of Liaokong sounded, the main hall where monks were doing evening classes not far away suddenly fell silent, the sound of chanting suddenly stopped, and one after another monks came out of the hall with palms together. There was no sound, not even the sound of breathing.

Led by four tall and burly monks wearing blue monk robes and holding Zen sticks weighing more than a hundred catties, more than 200 monks, old and young, with different levels of martial arts, walked straight to Baishi Square and walked neatly to the empty space. Looking away, waiting for his next instructions.

In Zhao Qing's perception, the four leading Dharma Guardian King Kongs all have the profound skills of Yousheng Hou Xibai, and the martial arts of the other 200 monks are also second-rate and first-rate. Had to run away.

Knowing that Zen Master Kong broke the 12-year-old "closed meditation" because of the visitor, these monks were silent, but all showed dissatisfaction with her, and formed a faint An oppressive aura.
