Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In addition to introducing the recent situation of Qiqianzhai, Li Hu's letter also included some news in the letter, saying that Yin Kaishan, the county commander of Shiai County, was impeached and deprived of the official status of the county commander because of the loss of troops when he attacked Qiqianzhai.

This is what Li Chongjiu expected. Suddenly, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of Li Zhiwan, the scene when he was in Shangdang County, when the other party stood in the pavilion.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was about to conquer Liaodong with a million troops, this time it was a heavy blow to the Sui Dynasty, but for the Li family, it was a turning point at a low point.

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

Sui loses its deer, the world will chase it, this is the pattern of the world in the future, whether you want to or not, you must devote yourself to it.

This is the fate of the individual, integrated into the fate of the world, the difference is that some people can burst out of the spark, and some people can only sink away.

At the end of the letter, beware that Li Chongjiu's life outside is not easy, and he also asked someone to bring Li Chongjiu a leather coat and consistent money.

At the end of the letter, it was written that my father and his brothers were all right, so don't take it seriously.

Seeing that Li Hu and the brothers in the Seven Thousand Villages were doing well, Li Chongjiu was relieved to think of the familiar faces.

and when shouting Xiao Jiu, that cordial and warm meaning, Li Chongjiu's heart was full of warmth. Although he has no memories of the past, Li Chongjiu also knows that in the cottage, Li Hu has no time to take care of himself, so when he was a child, he grew up by himself, and was taken care of by every family in the cottage in turn.

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

Closing the letter, Li Chongjiu felt hungry, so he went to the dining hall to eat, and after drinking a bowl of steaming white porridge, he felt refreshed.

This day is the day when the lay disciples return home once a month to save their relatives, so Li Chongjiu lives alone in the temple, and has nothing to do, so he moves the idea of walking around.

Li Chongjiu saw that the surrounding area was rainy and foggy, and Shaomuro Mountain was a verdant scenery in early spring. He said in his heart that he had been coming to Shaolin Temple for nearly three months, and he had not traveled all over Shaolin Mountain, and he thought that in the future, this place would be over-excavated due to commercial development and tourism.

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

Immediately, he put on a cloak and climbed the five-breasted peak with a bamboo hat on his head.

Spring rain wet clothes, looking at the distance, the outline of the mountains and rivers in the distance under the Wuru Peak is smoky, as if the heavy landscape splashed ink painting.

The fresh spring breeze blows the face cold, Li Chongjiu cuts the bamboo as a cane, listens to the sound of the rain hitting the bamboo leaves, and the grass blades are rustling when he steps on them.

To go to the top of the five milk peaks, suddenly see a stone cave, this is the Bodhidharma to Shaolin Temple, facing the wall of the hole for nine years.

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

Li Chongjiu returned that it was Dharma to return the soul, but after a closer look, it turned out to be Jueyuan Toutuo.

Seeing that Jueyuan was entering meditation, Li Chongjiu didn't dare to disturb, and he didn't walk away, but just stood in place with his hands and looked around.

I saw that in this Dharma cave, it is still very spacious, and on the stone walls around it, there are a lot of Sanskrit words engraved in detail.

This text is erected and down, obviously it is the passage of time, I don't know how long, and there is a big stone in the cave, the surface is smooth, particularly eye-catching, it should be the shadow stone of the Bodhidharma face wall.

"On this stone wall, is Bodhidharma, the handwritten Zen practice of the mind, the Yijin Sutra and the Washing the Pulp Sutra, are engraved in Sanskrit, there have been many years."

Li Chongjiu heard the voice of Jueyuan, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that above this wall were the Yijin Sutra and the Pulp Washing Sutra. These two books are famous in later generations.

According to legend, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Hui Ke, did not understand the meaning of the scriptures left by his teacher Bodhidharma, and then on Chang'an Avenue, he met a young man with strong martial arts and talked with him for three days and three nights, and finally confirmed each other and realized the truth of the Yijin Sutra.

And that young man is Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo.

However, Li Chongjiu heard the meaning of Jueyuan, these two books are actually the practice of Zen Buddhism. At that moment, Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I thought that the Yijin Sutra and the Pulp Washing Sutra were the secret martial arts that the Bodhidharma Patriarch brought from Tianzhu." ”

Jueyuan smiled when he heard this, and said: "This is a far-fetched statement of the world, so that there is a misunderstanding. ”

Li Chongjiu not only asked curiously: "So does Patriarch Bodhidharma know martial arts?" ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu ask like this, Jueyuan was stunned, and said with a smile: "This, I don't know, when I entered the world, Patriarch Bodhidharma had already passed away. ”

What's more, the Bodhidharma patriarch cultivated his head and practiced the Buddha, and initiated the heart with the lamp of the Ranga Sutra. The monks who cultivate their heads do not live in settlements, so Bodhidharma has lived alone in the stone cave for nine years, facing the wall, so it is difficult for outsiders to know whether the Bodhidharma patriarch has martial arts. Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, thinking that if Patriarch Bodhidharma really passed down any martial arts, then the monks of Shaolin Temple would not encounter thieves, and they would leave after a battle, and they would have no power to resist, and in the end, they would have to turn the tide with Tanzong.

Li Chongjiu and Jueyuan talked for a long time, and then the two went down the mountain together. After coming out of the hole, the spring rain has stopped, and the road is quite slippery.

Jueyuan is already old, and his pace is not very steady, and he even needs Li Chongjiu's support on the road.

When the two approached the temple, Jueyuan suddenly stopped, held a bamboo cane, looked at the Shaolin Temple and said: "Tomorrow's period of sitting on the wax has ended, the old monk I will stay away in the future, continue to be an ascetic leader, I don't know what year and month, can I return to Shaolin." ”

"Today, I was sitting in meditation in the Dharma Cave, although I didn't get anything, but I met you, which is also a fate."

Speaking of this, Jueyuan took out a cotton cloth package from under the monk's robe, and said: "This is the four volumes of the Lenga Sutra, which is translated by the monks of this temple, and the transcription of my handwriting, the old monk has no long things, and there is nothing else to give to you, these four volumes of scriptures are also a memorial for you and me." ”

Li Chongjiu was surprised when he heard this, and Jueyuan smiled and said: "I'm leaving tomorrow, it's impossible to carry this scripture, rather than keeping the moth, it's better to have a fate, and I hope you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

Li Chongjiu saw that Jueyuan's meaning was very strong, and Li Chongjiu took it respectfully at the moment, and said: "The elder does not dare to resign, and the hospitality of the master is inscribed." ”

Jue Yuan laughed when he heard this, and walked away immediately.

The next day, Jueyuan and the head monks in the Shaolin Temple went down the mountain and did their own asceticism.

At the time of parting, Li Chongjiu and Tan Zong were ready to send each other, but later learned that Jueyuan Toutuo had left early in the morning, obviously not wanting to see the parting, and there was some concern.

After Tan Zong heard this, he was crying like a child in public, Li Chongjiu stood on Shaomu Mountain, looking at the clouds and mist in the distance, and he was also very emotional.

That night, under the oil lamps in the monk's room, the lights were shining.

Li Chongjiu sat cross-legged and opened the cloth package given by Jueyuan, and four thin scriptures were stacked squarely in the middle of the package. One of his books is the "Ranga Abhatara Sutra", with a line of fly-headed boys, and the disciple Jueyuan is hereby recorded.
