Chapter 40 The Four Volumes of the Langa Sutra

Li Hu's letter not only introduced the current situation of Qiqianzhai, but also included some news in the letter. Yin Kaishan, the county magistrate of Shiai County, would be impeached for losing troops when he attacked Qiqianzhai, and was deprived of his official status as county magistrate.

This is what Li Chongjiu expected.Suddenly Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of Li Zhiwan, that scene when she was standing in the pavilion when she was in Shangdang County.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was about to send millions of troops to conquer Liaodong. This time it was a heavy blow to the Sui Dynasty, but it was a turning point in the trough for the Li family.

In addition, there are Li Mi, Zhai Rang, and Dou Jiande. They should all be gathering momentum at the moment.

If the Sui Dynasty loses its deer, the world will pursue it together. This is the future pattern of the world. Whether you want to or not, you must join in it.

This is the fate of the individual, who is tormented in the fate of the world's revolution. The difference is that some people can burst into sparks, while others can only sink to the bottom.

In the end, what Li Hu said in the letter were all exhortations. At the end of the letter, he was careful that Li Chongjiu's life outside was not easy, and he asked someone to bring Li Chongjiu a leather jacket and consistent money.

At the end of the letter, it was written that father and all the brothers are well, don't worry about it.

Seeing that Li Hu and all the brothers in Qiqianzhai were doing well, Li Chongjiu was relieved and thought of those familiar faces.

And when he called Xiaojiu, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart with the cordial and warm meaning.Although he has no memory of the past, Li Chongjiu also knows that in the cottage, Li Hu had no time to take care of himself, so he grew up on his own when he was a child, and was taken care of by each family in the cottage in turn. He grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes.

So for Li Chongjiu, they all have a sense of concern for themselves.

After closing the letter paper, Li Chongjiu felt hungry, so he went to the dining hall for dinner, and after drinking a bowl of steaming white porridge, he felt refreshed.

This day was the day when disciples of the lay school returned home once a month to visit their relatives, so Li Chongjiu lived alone in the temple, and thought of walking around when he had nothing to do.

Li Chongjiu saw that the surrounding area was covered with rain and fog, and Shaoshi Mountain was a lush scene in early spring.He thought to himself that it had been nearly three months since he came to Shaolin Temple, and he hadn't traveled all over Shaoshi Mountain. He thought that in the future, due to commercial development, tourism would overexcavate here.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu just wanted to see the original color and original scene.

Immediately, he put on a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head and climbed up Wuru Peak.

Wet clothes in the spring rain, looking from a distance, the outline of the mountains and rivers in the distance under the Wuru Peak is very smokey, like a thick landscape splashed ink painting.

The fresh spring breeze was not cold on the face. Li Chongjiu cut bamboo into a stick, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the bamboo leaves, and the grass leaves rustling under his feet.

When walking to the top of Wuru Peak, I suddenly saw a stone cave. This is exactly the cave that Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years after he came to Shaolin Temple.

At that moment Li Chongjiu strode into the cave and was about to raise his eyes to visit, but he could see an old monk sitting cross-legged on a stone.

Li Chongjiu also said that Bodhidharma was resurrected, but after a closer look, it turned out to be Jueyuan Toutuo.

Seeing that Jueyuan was meditating, Li Chongjiu didn't dare to disturb him, and he didn't move away. He just stood there with his hands behind his back and looked around.

I saw that the Bodhidharma Cave is very spacious, and on the surrounding stone walls, there are many Sanskrit seals engraved in a dense manner.

The words vertically and vertically down, obviously it has been through the years, I don't know how long, and there is a large stone in the cave, with a smooth surface, which is particularly eye-catching, it should be the shadow stone of Bodhidharma's face wall.

"Above this stone wall is Bodhidharma. The Zen cultivation method, the Yijin Sutra and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra were all inscribed in Sanskrit. It has been a long time ago."

Li Chongjiu heard Jueyuan's voice, and he couldn't help being surprised when he heard that there were Yijinjing and Xiuijingjing on the wall.These two books can be described as famous in later generations.

According to legend, Huike, the second ancestor of Zen, did not understand the meaning of the scriptures left by his teacher Bodhidharma. Later, on Chang'an Avenue, he met a young man with high martial arts skills and talked with him for three days and three nights. reason.

And that young man is Li Jing, Duke of Wei.

However, Li Chongjiu heard the meaning far away, and these two books are actually the method of Zen practice.At that moment Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "I thought the Yijinjing and Xisuijing were the Patriarch Bodhidharma, what secret martial arts did they bring from Tianzhu?"

Jueyuan smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This is a far-fetched theory that people in the world have made, and even misunderstood."

Li Chongjiu not only asked curiously: "Then, does Patriarch Bodhidharma know martial arts?"

Hearing Li Chongjiu's question, Jueyuan paused, and said with a smile: "I, I don't know about this. When I entered the world, Patriarch Bodhidharma had already passed away."

"What's more, Patriarch Bodhidharma practiced Thutuo practice, and used the Lenga Sutra to pass on the lamp to seal his heart. The monks who practiced Thutuo practice did not live in settlements. Therefore, Bodhidharma lived alone in a stone cave for nine years without facing the wall. It is really difficult for outsiders to live like this. I know whether Patriarch Bodhidharma possesses martial arts." Li Chongjiu nodded after listening, thinking that if Patriarch Bodhidharma really passed down some martial arts, then the monks in Shaolin Temple would not encounter traitors, and they would leave after a fight. The power of resistance is exhausted, and in the end it is up to him and Tanzong to turn the tide.

Li Chongjiu talked with Jueyuan for a long time, and then they went down the mountain together.After leaving the cave, the spring rain had stopped, and the road was quite slippery.

Jueyuan is already old, and his steps are not very steady, he even needs Li Chongjiu to help him on the way.

When the two were approaching the temple, Jueyuan stopped suddenly, held a bamboo stick, looked at Shaolin Temple and said: "Tomorrow, the period for sitting in Latex is over, and I will stay away soon, old monk, and continue to practice asceticism. I don't know when and what month, whether I can return to Shaolin."

"Today, I sat in meditation in the Bodhidharma Cave. Although I didn't gain anything, I met you. This can be regarded as a predestined relationship."

Speaking of this, Jueyuan took out a cotton package from under the monk's robe, and said: "This is the four volumes of the Langa Sutra, which were translated by the eminent monks of this temple, and I copied them in handwriting. You, these four scriptures are also a memory of you and me."

Li Chongjiu was surprised when he heard that, Jueyuan smiled and said: "I'm leaving tomorrow, I can't take this scripture with me, instead of keeping moths, it's better to give it to fate, I hope I don't want to refuse."

Li Chongjiu saw that Jueyuan had a strong intention, Li Chongjiu took it respectfully and said: "I dare not say no to the gift from the elders, the great kindness from the master is deeply in my heart."

Jue Yuan laughed when he heard it, and left in a huff.

The next day, Jueyuan and the Toutuo monks in the Shaolin Temple went down the mountain to do their own ascetic practices.

At the time of parting, Li Chongjiu and Tan Zong were all going to see each other off, but it was only later that they realized that Yuan Toutuo had already left early in the morning.

After Tan Zong heard about it, he wept like a child in public. Li Chongjiu stood on Shaoshi Mountain and looked at the clouds and mists in the distance, feeling deeply moved.

Under the oil lamp in the monk's room at night, the lights are shining brightly.

Sitting cross-legged, Li Chongjiu opened the cloth package Jueyuan gave him, and in the middle of the package were four thin scriptures stacked squarely.One of them was written as "The Treasure Sutra of Langa Abadara", and a line of teeny boys was attached to it, which was recorded by his disciple Jueyuan.
