Chapter 31 Buddha as a Mountain
The so-called orthodox transmission of the Daomen refers to these eleven sects. These eleven sects usually deal with the affairs of their sects and do not interfere with each other, but Xuanzong is the source of all sects, living in the three mountains of Qingdu, Xuandu, and Xiandu, and is known as the three mountains of the sea. The status is transcendent, ruling the world's Daomen, and the head of Xuanzong is the master of the Daomen.
Since then, the disciples of these eleven sects have founded their own sects, or inherited their families, established a family of cultivators, and even become scattered cultivators who travel the world, and naturally there are countless disciples and successors, all of whom belong to the Daomen, but they are not counted in the eleven sects of the Daomen, but can only be regarded as the Daomen in a broad sense.
Wu Zhenggong's Shanshui Sword Sect is certainly not among the Daomen of these eleven sects. The Shanshui Sword Sect is located in Mengtong Mountain, and its founding ancestor is a member of the Mountain Sect among the eight schools of Yin and Yang hundreds of years ago. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Shanshui Sword Sect only belongs to the Dao Gate in a broad sense, because its cultivation is indeed the method that has been passed down from the Dao Gate.
In the cultivation world, sects like this consider themselves to be Taoist sects. However, its meaning is mainly twofold, one refers to one's own practice of the Taoist method, which is the way to become an immortal, which is mainly to distinguish it from the practice of Buddhism;
Wu Zhenggong, as an elder of the Shanshui Sword Sect, called himself a Taoist in front of a Buddhist monk, which is naturally good, and it is also a long-standing habit in the cultivation world. But he kept saying "My Daomen has been scattered for a long time, and the discipline is lax" and other words, faintly putting himself in a very high position, as if he is a great figure in the Daomen, but in fact, even if he is the head of the Shanshui Sword Sect, he is not a Taoist figure in the real sense, let alone him.
Wu Zhenggong said this, not only is it a matter of thinking very highly of himself, if he is in Buddhism, this is a kind of "nonsense" in the oral precepts, according to the practice of ascetics, not only can he not say such nonsense, but he also can't listen to it. So when Wu Zhenggong talked nonsense in front of him, he immediately said goodbye and turned around, without giving any affection.
From beginning to end, the ascetic monk did not say a word belittling Wu Zhenggong, but only truthfully introduced the situation of the Daomen to the road administration, and he just turned around and left if he didn't agree with him just now, let alone ignore Wu Zhenggong himself. But when Lu Zheng heard this, he already understood that the old man was not a big man at all, but when he spoke, he yawned like a toad—what a big breath.
Hearing this, Lu Zheng asked: "Great monk, the Daomen are these eleven sects, I remember you said that there are eleven mountains in the Buddhist Gate, and which ones are they?"
The dervishes replied: "In addition to Foshan, there are ten big mountains in Buddhism, and it is said that there are big mountains, but in fact, there are ten big temples built on top of the big mountains. My Buddhism is different from Taoism, there is no faction, there is only one sect. There is no difference between the monks and the monks, only the temples to which they belong.
They are the White Tiger Temple in Huanxi Mountain, the Shishan Temple in Liji Peak, the Infinite Jingshe in Fangguang Mountain, the Flame Nunnery in Anger Mountain, the Lixizhai in Shengnan Mountain, the Prajnain Temple in Chengcheng Peak, the Convenient Temple in Yuanyou Peak, the Fudo Temple in Karma Mountain, the Dahui Temple in Wuxiang Peak, and the Fayu Palace in Daleiyin Mountain. ”
It turns out that Buddhism is different from Taoism, and the lord of the ten great temples is neither called the head or suzerain like the Taoist gate, nor is it called the abbot or abbot like the Buddhist temples in the world, but is called the resident mountain, and the resident mountain governs everything in the temple. And these ten temples are not elected in their own temples, and must be appointed by Foshan to take up their posts.
In addition to the residence of the Ten Mountains, each temple also has a Dharma seat that is responsible for supervising the monks' ordination and teaching the magical powers of the Dharma. Therefore, apart from these ten major temples in the spiritual world, there are no other temples.
The ascetic monk also told Lu Zheng one thing, that is, there is another extremely interesting situation in the ten temples of Buddhism. The mountain where the ten temples of Buddhism are located is arranged in a line, from Huanxi Mountain to Da Lei Yin Mountain, as if in a procession all the way to the west. And from Huanxi Mountain to Da Lei Yin Mountain, the distance between each mountain is almost thousands of miles, and each mountain is a hundred zhang higher than the previous mountain, so these ten mountains are increasing in turn, Huanxi Mountain is the shortest, and Da Lei Yin Mountain is the highest.
Could it be that these monks deliberately arranged the temples like this? Lu Zheng thought silently in his heart, it was not easy to find a mountain every thousand miles, and it would be a little higher than the mountain where the previous temple was located. What if you can't find it? Wouldn't you be able to line up?
But when I think about it, the monks in the cultivation world are not monks in the human world, all of them have great magical powers, even if there is no suitable mountain peak in the place where it is needed, it is not uncommon to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and move a mountain from a distance! These monks arranged these ten temples in a line like this, and they also divided them into tall and short, which was indeed fun, but I don't know what other intentions the monks had? The dervishes did not say.
Lu Zheng asked again: "Great monk, does the Sun Moon Lu belong to the Dao Sect or the Buddha Sect?"
As he walked, the ascetic said, "It seems that you heard just now that the Sun Moon Cottage that the poor monk wants to take you to does not belong to the Taoist Sect nor to the Buddhist Sect. This cottage is on the edge of the fence, and I don't know how many years it has been. It is said that not long after it was planted from the fence, there was this Sun Moon House!
The two gentlemen who lived in the grass house, one named Le Zhongping and the other named Li Yi, had unfathomable cultivation and were senior masters in the cultivation world! When you meet them, you can call them Mr. Le and Mr. Li. The two gentlemen were usually reluctant to associate with the spiritual world, but they also did not like to get too close to the world, so they chose to live by the fence at the foot of the mountain in these two worlds. Mr. Le is proficient in medicine and believes that with his skills, he will be able to cure you of poison. ”
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Oh, they are so powerful, no wonder that old Mr. Wu just now had his eyes lit up when he heard that the great monk you knew the people in the Sun Moon Mansion." At first, when I listened to him, I thought he was a big man in the Daomen!"
The dervish said, "What, don't you like that Mr. Wu?"
Lu Zhengdao: "What I hate the most is such a person! This person likes to brag when he speaks, and he also likes to talk about others behind his back, as if he has something great, isn't it very annoying? This kind of person, ordinary people have to hide far away!"
Lu Zheng has a good and weak personality, and he usually speaks little, but it is by no means that he has his own views on things, but except for Tang Xiaojiu, it is rare to take the initiative to speak to others, so he often sees it in his eyes and rots in his stomach. Now he regards the ascetic as a relative in his heart, and he speaks more directly, otherwise he would never open his mouth to talk about people.
The dervish asked, "Ordinary people have to hide far away, is this weishenme?"
Lu Zhengdao: "According to my ninth brother, this kind of person is a piece of rotten plaster and big trouble! Brother Jiu said, such a person has no ability to do good things, and the ability to do bad things emerges in endlessly. ”
The ascetic was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Lu Zheng to say such an old and sophisticated thing, and after careful consideration, these words were very consistent with the rumors and comments of this Shanshui Sword Sect elder. He suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and said, "Little donor, you hurry up." As soon as he turned around, he jumped down the mountain with his back on his back.
Lu Zheng couldn't reach it, and somehow the ascetic couldn't think of jumping down such a high cliff, exclaimed, and grabbed the shoulder of the great monk tightly. The dervish fell very fast but very steadily, and before he could feel frightened, the dervish had already landed gently.
At this time, Lu Zheng came back to his senses and shouted the ascetic's words to let him hold on, but he didn't hear them clearly just now.
The dervish jumped down from such a high place, and when he landed, he was a little light on the ground, not even a trace of dust was disturbed, and even before the ascetic began to move forward, Lu Zheng reacted that the two of them had already reached the ground. Just now, Wu Zhenggong jumped on the Two Realms Mountain, although his posture was light and chic, when he landed, he stepped on a rock alive, which is higher and which is lower, and it is clear at a glance.
Lu Zheng looked up at the cliff where the two jumped down just now, the old man named Wu Zhenggong just now went up from here, this cliff seemed to be much higher than when he looked down from above, he couldn't believe that he was still on the top of the cliff just now, he was afraid for a while, he jumped up like a drum, and his legs were a little weak.
Let's say that the tiger demon just now spewed out the natal Xuandan, and launched the tiger roar magic power in the Xuandan, impacting those disciples of the Shanshui Sword Sect. Those disciples were not cultivated enough, and they were impacted by the tiger roar that shocked their hearts, and their internal breath was scattered, and their souls were impacted, and their internal organs were tangled, and they all retreated back.
The tiger demon seized the opportunity, immediately took Xuandan, identified a direction and ran away, he knew that he must escape before the old man came back, otherwise this life would definitely be explained here today, so he ran with all his might. However, he was besieged by Jianzhen for a long time just now, and the consumption of divine energy was not small, especially the stick-shaped magic weapon was crushed by the sword light launched by the joint force of Jianzhen, and the magic weapon was damaged, and he also suffered a lot of injuries, and the operation of spiritual energy was very sluggish. In this case, it was a bit reluctant to consume mana to maintain the changed human form, so after running a few steps, I saw him pounce on the spot, turn into a white tiger, and continue to run forward.
The white tiger didn't run far before he heard a shout behind him: "Evil animal, where to run!" The white tiger looked back while running, good guy, a cyan sword qi, and slashed at him with great speed. Not far behind, the old man who had just left was surrounded by a red smoke, and he was chasing after him with a wonderful body and divine movement, and was rapidly approaching him.
The white tiger hurriedly pounced to the side, dodging the sword qi, which struck a small tree beside it, splitting the small tree into pieces. The white tiger glanced at it, and shouted while running wildly: "Old man, your sword qi is not pure, and you haven't cultivated it yet!"
