Chapter 370: The Story of the March Temple
Song Jiang and Song Saburo really rebelled in Qingzhou, in addition to Qingfeng Mountain, Baihu Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain, as well as Yunli King Kong Song Wan, who went to rendezvous from Yuncheng County, and Zhuo Li's original subordinates White Flower Snake Yang Chun and Sai Rengui Guo Sheng. Qingzhou's Tizhi town Sanshan Huangxin did the internal response, a group of people should cooperate with the outside, in one fell swoop, killed the prefect Murong Yanda, the governor Liu Gao, the official soldiers killed and wounded countless people, Song Jiang gathered a team of thousands of people in a few days, and began to attack the surrounding counties and towns.
Since Li Mian, the Great Song Dynasty has not appeared such a big bandit, Jingdong East Road contains Jinan Mansion, Qingzhou, Mizhou, Yizhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Weizhou, Zizhou and Huaiyang Army, Qingzhou is broken, nine places are shaken, a large number of urgent documents are sent to Bianliang and the Daimyo Mansion like snowflakes, as the business travelers have fled to the Quartet, the news has also spread rapidly in the northern land.
Yang Zhi and Zhu Wu met, stayed in Longgang Grottoes for another six days, in addition to the grottoes of the Jingjing Temple, Yang Zhi also went to Qianxi Temple and Jingshan Temple, both are the recommendation of the old monk Jieming, it is said that Master Jintai had sat in the two temples in that year. The stone statues in the grottoes in the temple of Qianxi Temple are one Buddha and two disciples, two Bodhisattvas, two heavenly kings, Maitreya Buddha is dressed in a robe, open chest, cross-kneeled is sitting on the square seat of stacked astringent Sumeru, the posture is quiet and calm, and the hand is fearless. Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin have quiet expressions, smooth folds, and the small Buddha statues on the shrine behind them are all kinds of mudras.
The four fins have a superb vision, and said sharply: "These are useless to you, Jintai I have heard, it turned out to be a foreign master, sit and understand, and the internal force becomes a day; you yourself are a Taoist master, and you are a master of the Taoist family, and you are walking the routine of opening and closing, these Buddhist mudras rely on enlightenment, and it is best to be the internal force of Buddhism, which may not be suitable for you, you can only see if there is a mudra that can be combined into the Shura fingers." ”
Yang Zhi observed for a day, agreed with the idea of the four fins, and went to Jingshan Temple together, the Jingshan Temple grottoes are the same as the Kanjing Temple, divided into two rooms before and after. The statues of the two wrestlers in the front room are mighty, with their tops exposed, their skirts, their bare feet, their eyebrows erect, their muscles bulging, full of power, and a daunting feeling. The back room is the main room of Jingshan Temple, Amitabha Buddha sits on the Sumeru seat, his left hand is on his knees, his right hand is raised in front of his chest, and he is wearing a robe on both shoulders.
Around the main Buddha, fifty-three Bodhisattvas sit on the same lotus flower with dozens of stems, all contemplative and smiling, Yang Zhi was surprised by the difference in hope between each Buddha statue, as if fifty-three people are smiling, but look carefully, everyone's smile is different, some Buddha statues smile as if there is nothing, some Buddha statues smile happily, and some Buddha statues even have the dynamics of smiling.
The four fins looked at it for a long time, smiled and said: "This is the thinking hand, the head is sideways, the hand is bent inward, and the head is pointed to the cheek; the reason why the form of the sculpture is different is because the original form is different, there are young people, there are good people, there are music lovers, there are people who have gone through hardships; although there are no towering pavilions and pavilions in the whole picture, and there is no large-scale dance scene, but the thinking bodhisattva is talking about the state born from the heart, the wonderful heart of nirvana, and the wonder is indescribable. ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "It's wonderful, that's the Taoist teachings." ”
Sifin put away his smile and said seriously: "I heard Liuya say that you wrote a book "Journey to the West" in Liaoguo, which tells the story of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang learning scriptures, do you know why Tang Xuanzang went to learn scriptures? It was because the monks at that time forgot the original intention of Buddhism and believed in Buddhism in practice; what they wanted was to expand their influence and use Taoist stories to imperceptibly transform Buddhist scriptures, and in the end it was a scene of endless arguments. True cultivation, one room and one person is enough, but it's a pity that I am also a mortal, although I want to do penance, but I still can't forget the high hopes of the temple gate, sins and sins. ”
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Master, the most difficult thing is the human heart, this is the human world, there will be thousands of thoughts in the human world, there must be injustice, otherwise it will not become the Pure Land of the West; Buddhism is also not pure in the world, the rivers and mountains are changing, and the people are fighting, which is not a conflict of interests, the most important thing is that Buddhism pays attention to compassion, as a monk, what do you think of good and evil?"
Four Fin sneered: "I was originally a monk in the March Temple, the March Temple is actually a temple all over the White Camel Mountain, at the junction of Western Xia and Tubo, the top of the mountain is the Great Moon Courtyard, the mountainside is the Middle Moon Courtyard, and the foot of the mountain is the Lower Moon Courtyard. More than 100 years ago, a person named Long Xifeng fled to the temple before he died, leaving behind a true scripture of ice and fire, the upper volume is about the flame knife, and the lower volume is about the Xuan Bing palm. ”
Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Most of the monks in Western Xia are high monks from Tubo, otherwise Yan Dan would not have gone to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and the news should have leaked from Western Xia to Tubo; For someone like Yan Dan to speak regardless of his identity, the Ice and Fire True Scripture must not be as simple as a martial arts cheat. ”
"The Ice and Fire Sutra is a martial arts cheats. Four Fin said affirmatively: "The March Temple is famous for its magic weapons, and the monks do not practice martial arts, so the presiding officer Mu Jie copied the Ice and Fire Sutra, and asked the envoys of the two families to be present at the same time to testify, and handed over the original to Xixia and the manuscript to Tubo." The Tubo people turned their faces on the spot, and called for 3,000 elite soldiers who were ambushed at the foot of the White Camel Mountain to go all the way up the White Camel Mountain, the March Temple was destroyed, and the messenger of Yan Dan was killed; my master and some monks hid in some ice caves on the top of the mountain to escape the catastrophe, and found an opportunity to escape to the Hongsha Temple in the Great Snow Mountain, two hundred miles away, and my master was the one who copied the Ice and Fire Sutra, and according to the requirements of the Hongsha Temple, he copied a copy of the Ice and Fire Sutra according to his memory and stayed in the Hongsha Temple. ”
Yang Zhi didn't believe that it was so simple, and put on a look of me knowing and said, "Hongsha Temple only allows you to live there, and doesn't plan to accept you into the temple?"
Sifin nodded and said, "Our Buddhist scriptures are different, the scriptures of the March Temple are from the Central Plains, almost every monk knows Chinese characters, and the scriptures of Hongsha Temple are from Gaochang and use Tianzhu script. But for me, it's not a bad thing, I know more than a kind of language, I only saw some Sanskrit secret books from the Shaolin Temple in Hongsha Temple, so after wandering in the Western Regions for six or seven years, I came to the Central Plains. ”
Yang Zhi smiled and said: "But you didn't go to Shaolin Temple immediately to ask for a meeting, with the habits of Shaolin Temple, people like you, don't say that you can be satisfied." ”
A cold light finally flashed in the eyes of the four fins: "That's because of the two bastards Buza and Wei Mingsi Neng." ”
