Chapter 856
"Taishi Mountain?" Fan Jiannan murmured.

"Jiannan, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yuan looked at him worriedly and asked.

Fan Jiannan shook his head, "It's nothing, I just find it a bit strange. Why is this Songshan Earth's Aperture regarded as some kind of danger by Zen Buddhism? From what he said, it seems that even the founder of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, has some kind of connection with this Songshan Earth's Aperture? "

"Probably. Patriarch Bodhidharma is the patriarch of Zen. He may have been aware of the existence of the orifice in Songshan Mountain for many years. However, for some reason, he never went there. He would rather face the wall here for nine years." Feng Yuan sighed road.

Fan Jiannan paced back and forth on a small lawn in front of the cave, carefully observing the cave. It was about three meters high and six to seven meters long, with a square door.There is a stone tablet outside the cave, engraved on the front: "Moxuan Office", and engraved on the back: "Trace from the East".Other than that, it's just a small cave, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

After walking in, a chill came over. Compared with the sun outside, this cave makes people feel much more comfortable.It is probably like a cave dwelling, warm in winter and cool in summer.Fan Jiannan suddenly faced the stone wall, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and also wanted to experience the life of Bodhidharma practicing facing the wall back then.

After a few minutes, he stood up.He can't achieve this kind of Zen enlightenment without distractions.It is said that when Bodhidharma practiced, birds built nests on him, but he didn't know it at all. What kind of investment and what kind of state is this!Get rid of all evil thoughts and distracting thoughts, concentrate on cultivation, and you can see the high and deep attainments.

"Bodhidharma faces the wall, Bodhidharma faces the wall..." Fan Jiannan repeated these few words silently, and suddenly his expression changed. "Dharma facing wall stone!"

"What Bodhidharma facing wall stone? I said, you don't want to become a monk, do you?" Feng Yuan asked suspiciously.

Fan Jiannan couldn't help laughing, "I don't have the patience, and I can't keep the rules. Besides, I'm a monk, what should you do?"

He looked back at the Dharma Cave, and said slowly, "I just remembered one thing."

"What's the matter?" Feng Yuan asked.

"Bodhidharma lived in the cave for nine years. It is said that when he left the cave, on the stone opposite to his meditation, there was an image of him facing the wall. The folds and wrinkles of his clothes were faintly visible, like a light-colored painting. Ink painting. People call this stone the Bodhidharma Face Wall Shadow Stone, and this natural cave is called the Bodhidharma Face Wall Cave." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "This stone has been chiseled and moved to the Shaolin Temple. Let's come You may not have noticed it when you were walking, but I paid attention to that stone."

"Is there anything special about it?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"It does look like the image of a person, but his head seems to be slightly tilted to one side." Fan Jiannan thought for a while, "If this stone was indeed chiseled from this hole, then we can infer that he was The position of meditation."

Fan Jiannan carefully observed the cave, and finally he found a trace.There seems to be a break somewhere in the ground in the cave, like a gouging mark from a long time ago.Fan Jiannan squatted down and observed carefully, "Look here, there are obviously man-made chisel marks. And the size is the same as that of the stone. This means that the direction that Patriarch Bodhidharma was facing at that time was there." Fan Jiannan gestured Direction, said sideways.

"Maybe, but does it have any special meaning?" Feng Yuan frowned.

"Dharma facing the wall is a self-cultivation to understand the fetters in his heart." Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "And the hole in Songshan is the fetter in his heart. That is to say, the direction he is facing is likely to be the hole in Songshan." s position."

Feng Yuan looked at it and said, "So, the direction he is facing should be this side?"

Fan Jiannan nodded, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Master Mingzhen is right. The orifice of Mount Song is not in Shaoshi Mountain, but in that direction—Taishi Mountain!"

Songshan Mountain is composed of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain.With the Shaolin River as the boundary, Taishi Mountain is in the east and Shaoshi Mountain is in the west.Room means wife room.According to legend, Tu Shan, Dayu's first wife, was born here, and there is a Qimu Temple at the foot of the mountain, so it is called "Tai Shi".Shaoshi Mountain is the second wife of King Yu, and the younger sister of the Tushan family lived here. People built a Shaoyi Temple at the foot of the mountain to respect her, so the mountain is called "Shaoshi".

Fan Jiannan walked out of the Bodhidharma Cave, looked in the direction of Mount Taishi and said, "The orifice of Mount Song should be there."

"Will this be too far-fetched. Shall we ask Professor Long's opinion again?" Feng Yuan thought for a while.

"Of course, we are only making a preliminary judgment now. The specific location can only be determined by the jade talisman deciphered by Longge." Fan Jiannan nodded.When the two went down the mountain, they made a special call to Long Ge and told Long Ge about the general situation.After Long Ge heard it, he neither objected nor agreed.Anyway, his cracking work can be completed in a day or two at most.

After Feng Yuan and Fan Jiannan went down the mountain together, they found a hotel to stay in Dengfeng.I plan to go to Taishi Mountain to try my luck tomorrow.

At this time, in Hong Kong, the first director is leisurely making a pot of tea.Since he arrived in Hong Kong, he has hardly done anything else, just do a round of Tai Chi every morning, and play flower arrangements and make tea in his spare time.It seems that they are living very leisurely, and they don't seem to care much about Fan Jiannan's affairs.

However, a noise outside the room completely broke his tranquility. "You can't go in." "Do you dare to stop me?" There seemed to be some small quarrels outside the door.

"Doctor, who is outside? Let him in." The first director said calmly.

"Yes, sir." The doctor with glasses opened the door.

The person who came in was Po Jun, he walked up to the first director respectfully and said in a low voice, "Sir."

"Sit down, you're welcome." The first director put a cup of tea on the table in front of Po Jun. "It's better to meet by chance. The water temperature is [-] degrees, this tea is brewed just right. It's even more coincidental for you to come. Please!"

Looking at the old man with a calm face, Po Jun frowned and said, "Sir, I'm not here for tea."

"I know what you're here for. But let's finish this cup of tea first, and then we'll talk about other things." The first director said with a faint smile.

"Thank you." Po Jun reluctantly picked up the small teacup and took a sip.Slightly frowned and said, "This is Wuyi rock tea."

"Sure enough, I am an expert." The first director smiled, "I always say that if you want to learn metaphysics, you must first learn traditional Chinese culture. And if you want to learn traditional Chinese culture, you must start with this tea. Well, tea also tastes. It's over. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it now."

Po Jun nodded and said, "I want to know, what are we doing here?"

"What to do? What do you mean?" The first director smiled slightly.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. Originally, we came here for the map of the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains, but now the map of the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains is in Fan Jiannan's hands. Now he has left and took those jade talismans with him. Under such circumstances, we are still staying in Hong Kong. I feel like we are doing nothing all day long. I wonder how long this state will last?" Po Jun frowned.

"Oh? What do you mean?" The first director glanced at him and said.

"Well, now we have two choices. First, catch up with Fan Jiannan and get the jade talisman back from him. Second, just leave it alone and go back to San Francisco. It's better than doing nothing here." Po Jun replied.

"Is this your truth?" the first director said indifferently.

"Of course." Po Jun said in a deep voice.

"I remember that Fan Jiannan is your good friend, do you really want to deal with him regardless of your friendship?" the first director said slowly.

Po Jun shook his head and said, "I don't want to hurt him. But I think Mr. should also understand what kind of person I am. No matter at what time, my loyalty to the council will not change. And I think that Fan Jiannan and the director There is no direct conflict with the interests of the Yishu Council. He is not an ambitious person, and he will not have any impact on the existence of the Yishu Council. To be honest, he alone is not a threat to the Council at least now."

The first director nodded and said, "You're right. Fan Jiannan is really not a big problem. That's why I took a laissez-faire attitude towards him and let him go to the troubles first. Let's just watch. Anyway, in the end, There is no suspense. However, I want to correct you. We are not here for nothing."

"Oh?" Po Jun frowned slightly.

"As far as I know, apart from Fan Jiannan's four jade talismans from the Five Sacred Maps, at least one of them is missing. But I just recently found out who owns this jade talisman." The first director Slightly smiled.

"Oh? In whose hands?" Po Jun frowned.

"You also know this person. It should be said that you are very familiar with him. Among the five masters, Su Xuanshui is the traitor of Shanshu." The first director said calmly.

Po Jun was slightly stunned and said, "It's him? If it's him, there shouldn't be any problem. Just tell me, sir, I can take someone to find him immediately and get back the jade talisman."

"No, no, if that's the case. I don't want to use too much violence." The first director smiled slightly, "That's why I don't do anything, just rest quietly. Arrange flowers in your spare time. Bubble tea. Try to be as comfortable as possible. I'm going to let this guy come to me on his own."

"You mean, he will take the initiative to come to us?" Po Jun frowned, "He holds a jade talisman in his hand, and it is too late to avoid us under normal circumstances. How could he take the initiative to come to us?"

The first director laughed and said, "You are wrong. He will definitely come to us. Because the jade talisman in his hand is a bargaining chip for him. That one is often the one who will suffer. I just wait until he makes an offer. I want to see what surprises this ambitious young man can give me?"
