The hoisted sails went straight into the sky, and the huge sails rode slowly forward in the wind and waves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The dark clouds in the sky pressed down wildly, and a dull breath arose.

On the deck, in addition to the monk from the Western Regions who was sitting on the deck, there were only the Ling Tianyun brothers left. And they stood on the deck, looking at the surging river, and their hearts swelled with all kinds of tastes. They stood on the boat, there was a feeling of riding the wind and waves, the sharp bow of the boat, directly cut the turbid river water on both sides, turned up bursts of yellow turbid foam and hit the hull of the boat, but it was also another magnificent scenery.

In addition to the magnificent scenery in front of the ship, they also looked at the monk from the Western Regions who was sitting on the deck, the deck was not very large, and the passenger ship had built the cabin as large as possible to accommodate more guests. On the first floor of the cabin are some ordinary seating halls, and the guests inside are affected by the strong wind outside the cabin. Didn't get out of the cabin and onto the deck. On the second floor of the passenger ship are some independent rooms that spend a lot of money, and Zhao Kuangyin and his party are also in the No. A room on the second floor. And they did not rush back to their rooms, but stood on that deck.

As soon as he got on the boat, he meditated on the deck, but he didn't know if he was a real ascetic, but looking at his decoration, he was obviously not an ascetic who had weathered the wind and frost and was eating in the wilderness. But the other party had nothing outside his heart and meditated consistently, which also made Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun deeply interested.

"Amitabha, the little monk has disturbed the Yaxing of the two donors." I don't know when, the monk of the Western Regions suddenly appeared behind Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin, and the fat monk clasped his hands together and said with a low eyebrow at the two of them. And the sudden appearance of the figure and the deep voice really shocked Ling Tianyun's heart, and he didn't know why, he felt a little strange in his heart. And his direct telling him was that this monk from the Western Regions had an inexplicable dangerous aura. I don't know if it's because of the same Buddhist practice, or because of other factors, Ling Tianyun has a strong sense of vigilance in his heart.

"The master is polite, my two brothers have nothing to do, and they are here to see the scenery, but my two brothers have disturbed the master to meditate and cultivate." Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed with a gleam, he didn't know when this monk appeared behind them, if the other party silently attacked suddenly, he couldn't even react. Although the two of them would look back at the monk from time to time, it was impossible to stare at him all the time, but unexpectedly, the monk had already appeared behind them, which was really incredible.

"The two donors are polite, the little monk is not good, he is from Mount Everest in the Western Regions. When I first came to the Central Plains of China, I don't know what the two donors call me? The fat monk was still clinging to the Buddha ceremony, and a solemn aura of treasure emanated out. And the Mount Everest he was talking about was a place that Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin had never heard of, and when the two of them looked confused, the bad master's eyes suddenly showed a sudden expression.

"The two highest peaks in the Western Regions have heard that the terrain is dangerous and snowy all year round, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to climb to the top. Presumably, the two of them have never seen the strange scenery of the high peaks and clouds, which really makes people worship it. "That bad master only said a few words and said a mountain that was unparalleled in the sky, which made Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin's eyes light up. There are such majestic peaks in this world, and it is the first time they have heard of it.

"I don't know what the master is doing in Bianjing this time." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but be curious, and asked the bad master.

"The monks don't say anything, the little monk went to the imperial capital this time, first, to see the majestic city of the outstanding people of Shenzhou, and secondly, the little monk had an unfinished war with people. I can't say that I am not afraid of the jokes of the two donors, the monks should not have the heart of competitiveness, but this is not a battle of the little monk alone, but a battle of the Taoist Buddha. The little monk could only go all out, so he had to come all the way east alone, and at the same time he also wanted to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and see the heroes of the land of China. ”

Although the bad master said it was extremely humble, his humble tone gave people an incomparably strong self-confidence. At the same time, his rhetoric also brought out the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, which is also an endless struggle that cannot be divided between winners and losers for thousands of years. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it is mainly about resting and cultivating nature, but it still can't jump out of the worldly scope. Buddhism pays attention to its own self-cultivation, while Taoism pays attention to the natural casualness of ten thousand laws.

When Ling Tianyun heard this, his heart trembled slightly, he didn't know if he should know something. The Mahayana Heart Sutra that the old monk gave him was not without purpose. Is it related to this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and he has invisibly become a chess piece in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but what puzzles him is that the old monk has never strongly asked him to apprentice, nor has he recognized him as a disciple of Buddhism.

"The little monk Guan is a little benefactor, the breath in his body is pure to yang, he should have learned my Buddhist exercises, but he doesn't know where the little benefactor is and who the respected teacher is?"

Sure enough, as soon as the thinking Han in Ling Tianyun's mind took shape, the eyes of the bad master moved from Zhao Kuangyin's body to his body. It's not good, it's really not good, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. His martial arts cultivation realm is not high, and his goal is not to fall into the disputes of those sects. He didn't expect that this bad master would not hide it at all, but went straight to the point and asked directly.

"I've seen the master, the kid has learned the Buddhist exercises, as for what the sect of Buddhism is, the kid really doesn't know anything. The kid's exercises were also given by a master named Kuyi, and during the period, it was not stated that the boy must join Buddhism, nor did he ask the boy to worship him as a teacher. I don't know these answers, but the master is satisfied? ”

Ling Tianyun's heart was full of wariness towards this bad master, but he still said it truthfully. It's just that to his surprise, when he said Master Kuyi, there was a trace of doubt and confusion in the eyes of the bad master, obviously he didn't know the thin old monk Kuyi.

"It's the little monk who crossed the purlin, and the little monk is lonely and unheard, and he really doesn't know which monk it is, which makes the little benefactor smile." The bad master clasped his hands together and said with low eyebrows.

"The master has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and he doesn't know that he is willing, so why blame himself." Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege. He didn't know much about this monk in the Western Regions, he only knew that the ascetic monks in the Western Regions were like withering, and they shouldn't be like the fat head and big ears on the other side.

"Amitabha, excuse me." The bad master put his hands together, and the fat hands full of flesh shone with a greasy color, where was a weather-beaten ascetic monk.

After saying that, he walked away silently, meditated again not far from them, lowered his eyebrows, and soon entered a state of concentration. I really didn't take everything just now to heart, I can afford to put it down, and the image of a high-ranking monk is vividly displayed.

Ling Tianyun was still wary in his heart, he didn't understand why the bad monk wanted to ask him this, what was the matter with him in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, could it be that he had taken a fancy to his exercises, or something else. There was a trace of crisis in his heart, it was a crisis against him, but at this time, it was no longer aimed at his brother-in-law Zhao Kuangyin, which surprised him.

The boatman carried his hands behind his back and patrolled the cabin, his stout body moving slowly in the cabin like a small mountain. Everything was normal, except that the wind and waves seemed to be stronger, and the low dark clouds seemed to be thicker, and the dark clouds that came from the storm seemed to settle the ship, and they had been gathering above their heads for a long time.

"Two, the boat is about to enter the most dangerous section of the Yellow River, and it is easy to be thrown out of the boat when standing on the big deck. Please return to the cabin to avoid accidents. Seeing that Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin were still standing on the deck, he frowned, and his face couldn't help but show displeasure. But he approached them responsibly, explained to them, and asked them to return to the cabin.

What puzzled Ling Tianyun was that the boat man didn't remind the bad monk, as if he had treated the fat monk as air. When the ship was about to set sail, it was delayed for the sake of such a fat monk, and after the monk got on the boat, he ignored him and abandoned him. Such an abnormal behavior made him puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that business people like to make friends the most, and the fat monk should also be an extraordinary monk, but the ship's treatment of him is also a bit illogical.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said to the boatman: "My brothers and sisters rarely see the majestic scenery of the Yellow River, and when they are almost at the stone gate, my brothers and sisters will return to the cabin." Thanks to the ship's concern, my brothers and I also cherish our own lives. ”

"That's the best, the ship won't be held responsible for anything that happens. You should do it yourself, don't throw yourself into the Yellow River and feed the eight kings in this river. ”

The boatman didn't talk any more nonsense, and left in a hurry after an explanation. And leaving Ling Tianyun and the two brothers with a wry smile on their faces, they couldn't say whether they liked or disliked this Guo family's boatman, but the other party deliberately reminded them, but it was also a good intention.

As far as they could see, a huge stone gate towering into the sky appeared in front of them. This is not one of the most dangerous sections of the Yellow River, Shimenxia, which is less than 30 zhang wide and is one of the narrowest sections of the Yellow River. The passenger boat went down the river, gradually approaching the Shimen Gorge, and the waves stirred up under the boat were almost a zhang high, and the sound of the rushing water rang in the ears like thunder in the sky.

As he approached Shimen Gorge, Ling Tianyun's eyes flashed with a look of shock, and he looked at the towering natural stone gate, the Yellow River shuttling through this stone gate, stirring up thousands of waves on the rock walls on both sides of the river. The cliffs on both sides of the Yellow River are thousands, like a knife splitting an axe and chiseling, looking upwards, that day is like a shocking inch. The water is rushing and agitating, whistling down, and the roaring sound is endless, which is a thrilling section of the river.

At this time, the passenger ship was like the small leaf of the wind and waves, and if one was not careful, it would crash into the cliff on both sides of the riverbank. The passenger ship, which had begun to be flat and steady, began to shake violently, and the guests in the cabin let out a burst of exclamations, cries of excitement and screams of horror.

With a slight dull thud, the boat slammed into a reef in the middle of the river, and the hull shook violently. Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin's feet were like those octopuses, sucking dead on this deck, Zhao Kuangyin was okay, he had experienced the thrill of this Shimen Gorge, and it didn't have any effect.

But Ling Tianyun was different, he didn't expect that his body like a thousand pounds was standing firmly on the deck, and it didn't have any effect at first, but unexpectedly, when the hull of the ship hit the reef, his body also tilted violently with the shaking of the ship. His body leaned towards the unfortunate monk who was sitting like a mountain, and when the boat stabilized itself, Ling Tianyun fell towards the unpleasant monk because of inertia. Zhao Kuangyin didn't notice it for a while, and wanted to reach out and grab Ling Tianyun, but he caught it.

And the fat monk who was sitting as steady as a mountain had a flash of light in his eyes, only to see that he was like a bouncing ball, but his fat body was extremely agile. He stretched out his fat big hand and fished it towards Ling Tianyun, but his hands did not grab at Ling Tianyun's hands, but turned into sharp claws and grabbed Ling Tianyun's shoulders fiercely.

When Ling Tianyun saw it, he immediately secretly exclaimed that it was not good, that bad monk really did not have a good heart for himself, but his body could not dodge the other party's fierce and powerful claws because of inertia. Seeing the fat monk's face showing a smug smile, and his hands that were as powerful as eagle claws were glowing with a faint cold light, which was a few points more hideous than the roaring water of the Yellow River, Ling Tianyun's heart couldn't help but tighten.
