Chapter 543: A Reed Crossing the River
Xi Bai quietly approached and found that many people were pointing at the other side of the river, he raised his eyebrows, looked at it, and the scene in front of him suddenly made his eyes stare and was very surprised.
He didn't know the name of the river in front of Xi Bai, but the river was very wide, I was afraid that it was not less than 100 meters, although the waves on the river were not prosperous, but the water was dark and turbulent, but on this river, Xi Bai actually saw a person who was coming from the opposite side!
To be precise, it wasn't that he came on the waves, but that the other party was simply standing on the surface of the river, and the whole person just floated towards the other side of the river!
What kind of light work is required for this? Xi Bai is not very clear, but he knows that with his current realm of "Getaway", it is absolutely impossible to do it, even if it is a "Lingbo Weibu" that is a higher level than the "Getaway", I am afraid that it is not a certain realm, and it is difficult to do this!
The people on Jiang's side saw this, so they all pointed at that person, Xi Bai was also very curious, he was still thinking just now, why didn't there be a stronger NPC here, but in the blink of an eye, a master appeared in front of him, just with this light skill, the opponent's strength will never be weak!
Xi Bai secretly thought to himself, thinking about whether this would be related to his own test, and couldn't help but be more concentrated, his eyesight was superhuman, and he could already see the face of the person who crossed the river at this time.
I saw that this person was dressed in white, with big sleeves fluttering, his body was quite strong, but the top of his head was bare, and the long curly hair around him naturally hung down, and this person's beard was very dense, and they were all curly shapes, with a high nose bridge and big eyes, which was quite exotic.
He held a dead wood cane in his right hand, saying that it was a cane, but in fact it was a piece of dry wood, which seemed to be really nothing special, and this person looked at him with a smile and was leisurely.
Xi Bai raised his eyebrows, just looking at his appearance, this person is very fairy, not like a wicked person, he thought to himself, when the other party comes ashore, how should he go forward to say hello.
This person's speed is not slow, half the distance has passed in a blink of an eye, and he is about to come to the other side of the river, Xi Bai suddenly stared, and he suddenly found that this person was not standing directly on the river, at the feet of the other party, there was a thin reed stalk floating on the river!
He was standing on the reed stalk, and the reed stalk, which could be broken when the wind blew, was now like the strongest boat in the world, carrying this man across the river steadily!
"It's ...... A reed across the river! ”
Xi Bai exclaimed, it's no wonder that he is really a little shocking at this scene, speaking of which, crossing the river with a reed is one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, and its level is also peerless, but the highest will not exceed the "Ling Bo Weibu", and many light skills have been cultivated to a high and profound realm, and they can also run on the water.
But like now, with a reed stalk fluttering across the river, with only this calmness and control, I am afraid that ordinary people can do it, which is also the reason why Xi Bai will scream.
After calming down, Xi Bai also felt that this reed crossing the river was actually far from being so shocking, but for the person who crossed the river, he had some guesses in his heart, and then looking at the other party's appearance, Xi Bai felt that his guess was afraid that it was not far from ten.
Just when Xi Bai was distracted, the middle-aged man with a long beard had already crossed the river, and with a slight touch under his feet, the whole person floated up and landed on the shore, and those onlookers looked at him with amazement, but he just smiled and nodded, and didn't care about other people's comments.
"This senior, I don't know where you came from?" Finally, a young man with a long sword on his back stepped forward and asked respectfully.
The man smiled slightly and said, "I'm from Tianzhu." ”
Everyone whispered again, and only a few of them knew that it was not the Central Plains, but a foreign country.
"What happened when the seniors came to our Central Plains?" Someone asked with a bit of caution, after all, he was a foreigner, and the other party's strength was so strong, so he naturally had to deal with it carefully.
"Preach." The bearded man replied calmly, still indifferently.
At this time, Xi Bai was already very sure who the other party was, he showed his figure, hugged his fists at the other party and said, "Dare to ask this master is Dharma?" ”
Xi Bai's words made the middle-aged man, who had always been very indifferent, finally show a surprised expression, he glanced at Xi Bai seriously, and made sure that he had never seen Xi Bai before, so he nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am Bodhidharma, this donor, have we met before?" ”
Yes, this reed crossed the river to come is the patriarch of Zen Buddhism, the patriarch of Bodhidharma!
When Xi Bai heard the other party's admission, countless thoughts suddenly surged in his heart, he never thought that he had actually met Patriarch Bodhidharma! This is Dharma! The founder of Zen Buddhism and the founder of Shaolin 72 stunts! It definitely belongs to the legendary opinion, and it actually appeared in front of him so alive! How could he not be excited!
Xi Bai had to sigh, "Breaking the Void" really could happen anything, he is now very sure that the test of being able to obtain the "Yijin Sutra" cheats is definitely on Dharma, and it is precisely understanding this that makes Xi Bai even more cautious, if this is not a good response, the "Yijin Sutra" cheats are afraid that he will miss him.
"The juniors haven't seen the master, it's just ...... I just heard that the master came from Tianzhu and came to Middle Earth to preach, and I heard some travelers and businessmen say that there is a monk in Tianzhu, whose Dharma name is Dharma, and this will be a tentative inquiry. Xi Bai pondered the sentence and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said so.
"I see, I am not a high monk, but I have some knowledge of Buddhism, and I want to tell my views on Buddhism to more people, so I will cross east to Middle-earth." Bodhidharma's expression had regained his calmness, and he looked at Xi Bai with gentle eyes and said, just like looking at his juniors.
"This ...... Master, are you here to preach? What is the Tao? Can you teach the skills you used to cross the river at the same time? The young man with the sword on his back next to him asked aloud.
His words immediately aroused the interest of others, compared to what preaching, Buddhism, obviously, martial arts can attract their curiosity more, if they can learn the previous skills, it is naturally good.
Bodhidharma nodded when he heard this, and said, "The Tao I preach is Mahayana Buddhism, 'All actions are impermanent, and it is the law of birth and destruction. Life and death have been extinguished, and silence is joy. As for the method that I have just crossed the river, if I cultivate the corresponding method, I will naturally comprehend it on my own. ”
For the Dharma verses spoken by Bodhidharma, everyone did not understand very well, but they understood Bodhidharma's later words, that is, this kind of ability to cross the river can be taught! As long as you know this, then the rest is easy to say.
If you can learn this skill, why not listen to what he preaches?
Everyone immediately became interested, and he asked again, "Master, I don't know where you will preach?" ”
Bodhidharma smiled slightly, "Why should the preaching be divided into places? It's the same everywhere. ”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Then let's spread it here, we are very interested in the Mahayana Buddhism that the master said." ”
"Master, not far away is Liangcheng, the square in the city is a good place to preach the Dharma, please go there, so that more people will come to listen to the Master's Dharma."
From the words of these people, it can be seen that these people have no understanding of Buddhism, and as for what they are interested in Buddhism, it is just a fool's talk, just to learn the stunt of "crossing the river with a reed".
Xi Bai believes that Dharma can definitely see this, and he wants to see what Bodhidharma will do.
Bodhidharma's face was as usual, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, then I will go to Liangcheng to preach, if you are interested, you can come and listen." ”
After Bodhidharma finished speaking, he was surrounded by everyone and walked towards the distance, Xi Bai was hesitating whether he would follow as well, after all, this was related to his task.
At this moment, Bodhidharma suddenly turned around, looked at Xi Bai and said, "This donor, you seem to know some about the Dharma, I don't know if you are interested in listening to my understanding of the Dharma, of course, we can also discuss and demonstrate." ”
Xi Bai didn't expect Bodhidharma to take the initiative to invite, so he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "This is naturally an honor, but the younger generation really has a limited knowledge of Buddhism, and is far from being able to discuss and argue with the master, I only hope to understand something from the master's Buddhism, and I am also content." ”
Bodhidharma smiled again, and didn't care, and said: "I know that I know a limited amount, but I also know that the ruler is short and long, and the Dharma is exquisite, and I can't explain it all. ”
Xi Bai naturally couldn't ask for it, so he followed everyone and went into the distance.
Along the way, there were many people, and some people who met halfway also joined the team after learning what the situation was, so this other party grew stronger and stronger, and when it approached Liangcheng, there were already hundreds of people.
Liangcheng is not big, or a little small, this is of course Xi Bai is used to seeing large cities, this is why he will have this feeling, in fact, this city wall as high as ten zhang, enough for four rows of carriages to parallel the city gate, in ancient times, especially in the era of Bodhidharma, it was already a very large city.
Bodhidharma stopped at the city gate, looked up, above the city gate, a huge bluestone inlaid on the city wall, engraved with "Liang City" two big characters, Bodhidharma looked at it for a moment, and then raised his feet and walked towards the city.
