【Part 227】Dharma
Yao Guangxiao smiled kindly in his eyes, nodded, and looked outside the house. Seeing that Duan Feiyan was not there, he said with relief: "Duan Feiyan is from Yunshui Palace and the daughter of Liu Ruyun, but she shortens her name to Duan, but her real name is actually
It’s Liu Feiyan.”
Maybe because he talked too much, Yao Guangxiao felt uncomfortable in his throat and coughed a few times. Since the servants were all sent away and no one could serve him, Hu Ming saw this and lifted a spittoon from the bedside and gave it to Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao coughed a few times and said,
He coughed up blood. Hu Ming was frightened by the bloody phlegm, and quickly took out a square towel to wipe the blood from the corner of Yao Guangxiao's mouth. Hu Ming thought to himself, it seems that Yao Guangxiao's condition is not serious, and he is really terminally ill.
Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly: "Did it scare you?" He stroked his chest with both hands and said, "I'm really old and useless. I've said so much, why don't you tell me about the Assassin family, Jin
Dao Ran Deng, what happened to Ji Xiang Yu’s hand?”
Hu Xi had previously told Yao Guangxiao about the origin of Baili Jixiang, but did not mention other families. But Hu Xi did not dare to say these things involving other families. He had betrayed his own family and did not want to drag the other families down.
.He suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Yao, there is an old monk who is an old friend of yours and wants to meet you."
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he felt abrupt in his heart and thought back: "Old monk, is he an old friend of mine? Is there such a person?"
He asked Hu Hui: "Who is that?"
Hu Hui replied respectfully: "Master Lieyin."
Hearing this name, Yao Guangxiao perked up: "It's him? The former eminent monk of Bodhidharma Academy! Invite him in quickly." But he thought carefully: "He should be here for that person, right?"
Hu Xi took this opportunity to retreat and walked out of Yao Mansion. A thin old monk stood under the shade of the tree with a smile, it was Master Zuoyin.
Liaoyin had been staying in Nanjing city. When he came in from Jubao Gate, he saw Master Yin standing on the street begging for alms. After chatting with him for a few words, Hu Hui said he was going to see Yao Guangxiao. Liaoyin asked him if he could bring a word with him.
Seeing if Yao Guangxiao wanted to see him, he waited outside Yao's house.
Liaoyin was kind to Hu Xi, and he had always thought about how to repay him. Now was the best opportunity, so of course he hurriedly said yes. Liaoyin knew that Yao Guangxiao was willing to see him, so he expressed his gratitude and said: "Thank you, Brother Hu, thank you, Brother Hu."
Such a senior and virtuous master was so humble, which made Hu Hui feel ashamed. It turns out that a truly great person is actually humble, and a person with little ability is always making noises.
Hu Bi couldn't help but think of what his father once said: "A virtuous person is always grateful. A virtuous person is always complaining." This sentence is very consistent with my current feelings.
Master Liaoyin walked into Yao Mansion quickly. Although he was a hundred years old, he still walked briskly. He felt that the furnishings in this mansion were very familiar. After taking a closer look, he suddenly realized that the furnishings were very similar to the Bodhidharma Temple of Shaolin Temple. The second time he entered
The courtyard is all made of stone walls, stone benches, stone tables, and even the position of the pine tree is exactly the same. It seems that Yao Guangxiao still misses the life in Shaolin Temple.
Walking into the house, Yao Guangxiao saw Master Yin coming in. He couldn't help but clapped his forehead in celebration and actually shed tears. Yin didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to be so excited, so he was a little embarrassed.
"Master, long time no see! I've been looking forward to it all the time, but you haven't changed at all." Perhaps because of his excitement, Yao Guangxiao's originally slow speech speed became faster. Because when he was in Bodhidharma Academy, Yao Guangxiao was still a young man and had no idea.
Thinking of how decades have passed, Yao Guangxiao has become very old, but his eyebrows are white and his eyes are kind. There is no major change in his appearance. It is exactly the same as in Yao Guangxiao's memory.
"Yuan Yan, I should call you Dao Yan. You are very ill."
Yao Guangxiao said with beaming eyes: "Master, you are the only one who still remembers that my name is Yuan Yan. You can call me Yuan Yan however you want. I am happy to hear it."
"Let me take a look." Liao Yin stretched out a hand, put it on Yao Guangxiao's pulse, and passed the true energy of the Yi Jin Jing over. This gentle, delicate rippled true energy was passed into Yao Guangxiao one by one.
Inside his body, he let out a sound, feeling relieved.
After a long time, Liaoyin sighed, shook his head and said: "Daoyan, you shouldn't practice the unique skills of Yugu Palace. Yugu Liangyi Gong and Shaolin Boy Gong are somewhat conflicting, sowing the seeds of disaster, and you don't practice Buddhism at the same time.
, causing martial arts barriers to erode your body. Sigh... Originally, you had a good foundation and practiced excellent martial arts, so you should not have suffered such serious injuries. When you come, all the internal organs, extra meridians and eight meridians are affected.
Damage, I'm afraid..."
"Master, I know in my heart that these are the fruits I planted when I was young. I have controlled so many people and drugged so many people. It is all power that controls me. I have no excuse and no way to blame others.
"
"Sigh, you just know it yourself."
"When I was young, I was arrogant and rude. I wanted to be the best in the world. I practiced the stunts in Shaolin Temple, but I was not satisfied. After I fell out with Bodhidharma Academy, I broke out and went to the Imperial Palace to study. Since then, I have devoted my life to Buddhism.
He put his research behind him. Then, he was overshadowed by the desire for power, and actually joined the Prince Yan's Mansion to single-handedly create the Jingnan Campaign. In those four years alone, I, Yao Guangxiao, could not escape the blame for the civilians who died in the Jingnan Campaign.
These are all karma that I have to repay, and I know that this is the time for God to come and take me back."
Liao Yin looked at Yao Guangxiao and sighed in his heart. At that time in Bodhidharma Academy, this young monk Yuan Yan was particularly diligent in practicing martial arts. He saw that his ambition was not small, and he tried hard to persuade him to practice Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, Yuan Yan was not satisfied.
, he wanted to practice the Yi Jin Jing after having some success in Tong Zi Gong. Because he explained to Yuan Yan that he did not have enough Buddhist cultivation skills, he did not recommend him to practice the Yi Jin Jing or the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. Unfortunately, Yuan Yan was young and energetic at that time.
, couldn't listen at all. Now, Yuan Yan has fully understood Zhong Yin's intentions back then.
"Master Lioyin, I don't have much time left. Can you stay by my side? Let's talk about Buddhist scriptures and the past and stay with me for a while."
Master Liaoyin smiled kindly and said: "Of course you can, but Buddhism is a practice, and cultivation does not come from chanting Buddhist scriptures. Your kindness is the real Buddhism."
"What the master said is true."
"In addition to reciting Buddhist scriptures, is it possible to do some good deeds?"
Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. He knew what Yin was talking about. This was indeed what he wanted to do, and that person was indeed innocent.
"Master, you are talking about Fu Qia, right?"
"That's good, that's good. Fu Cha is innocent. He should not be imprisoned for fifteen years. He should be free."
Yao Guangxiao was silent.
Fu Qia was the chief monk of Emperor Jianwen at that time, which meant that he practiced Buddhism on behalf of the emperor and converted to Buddhism. Fu Qia was a monk from Shaolin Temple. He was diligent and studious, devoted himself to Buddhism, and did not know martial arts. When Yongle Emperor Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao invaded Nanjing City
, after receiving a tip-off, Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk and escaped from the city. Both of them suspected that Fu Qia had known about it, so they arrested him, tortured him, and interrogated him for six days and nights. But Fu Qia couldn't tell him anything, and just said that he didn't know anything.
know this.
Although the court announced that Emperor Jianwen burned himself to death, everyone in the core of power knew that this was not true. Emperor Yongle couldn't find Emperor Jianwen's body everywhere, so he imprisoned Fu Cha in anger.
This level lasts for fifteen years.
"I understand, and I will try my best. But the decision to release Fu Cha is not in my hands, it still depends on the emperor."
"Yuanyan!" Liaoyin still called him with the Dharma call from back then. After saying this, he slapped Yao Guangxiao on the forehead with lightning speed. This palm was gentle and soft, without any force. "The opportunity of Zen has arrived, and the Dharma is in the human world.
, if you have kind thoughts in your heart, you should go to the Buddha. Remember!”
Yao Guangxiao nodded.
Liao Yin and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, and they suddenly connected with each other and smiled knowingly. Neither debating nor reciting scriptures is as sincere and important as saving a person.
