Chapter 215: Fingers and Claws Accidentally Left on the Clay
Chapter 215 Fingers and claws accidentally left on the mud
The shadows of the trees on Shigu Peak are faint, and you can see the sparkling blue waves of Dalongtan in the distance. In the dusk, there are people walking on the grass path.
The long reed leaves fell with the howling evening wind, forming a sea of grass that could drown people. However, the sound of footsteps never stopped, and followed the moon shadow hanging on the height of the canopy tree, two thin lines
The old figure quietly stopped in front of a mountain house made of bluestone.
"Amitabha, Tan Yue, and the old monk came to complain."
Abbot Hongbian lowered his head and walked into the mountain house. He saw that the house had been decorated, and a lit candle was quietly placed at the foot of the house to prevent it from being blown out by the harsh mountain wind. However, the light could not help but sway, so he took the light
The lonely figures in front of the bed are shadowy and ever-changing.
"Two masters, you are welcome to come."
Jiang Wen sat expressionless in front of the window. He saw that his right hand was tightly tied again, and Zhan Lujian was once again used as a splint. Coupled with the appearance of a serious injury that had not yet healed, his appearance was really miserable.
Although the previous earth-shattering blow caused the cracks in the stone to crack and the cave to collapse, it also acted on Jiang Wen's right hand that used the Palm of Ecstasy. The broken bone that had been barely healed during the fierce battle with the dragon ghost was shattered again this time under the load.
, the injury was more serious than before.
"Jiang Tanyue, does this girl still show no signs of waking up?"
When Abbot Hongbian saw Jiang Wen indicating that he was fine, he checked Luo Shuang'er's pulse after asking for permission. He found that Luo Shuang'er's pulse was basically stable, but that Luo Shuang'er was unconscious and unresponsive to external things. This was considered one of many misfortunes.
It's the only good thing.
"Thank you, abbot, for your concern. I have tried to wake her up in many ways. Sister Shuang's injuries to her meridians have obviously improved, but her mind has been hit hard. Now I am helpless."
Jiang Wen took a deep breath, looked solemn and solemn, and signaled the two old monks to sit down. There were many things that needed to be discussed in detail during the long night.
"I just hope you two can tell me everything - I just didn't expect that a Buddhist country like Jizu Mountain would be haunted..."
Jizu Mountain is haunted. This was Jiang Wen's most shocking discovery this time. Before entering the temple, he made repeated inquiries and ruled out suspicions such as the Bodhisattva incarnate and the illegal counterfeit shop. He thought he could rest easy, but in the end he never imagined that he would encounter something like this.
Simple and natural weirdness.
The expressions of shame on the faces of the two old monks were even heavier. Master Anren was not good at speaking, so now he could only lower his head and chant sutras. Abbot Hongbian twisted his beads and lowered his voice and gently closed the window, as if he was worried about the conversation between a few people.
Subtle sounds will be heard by the charming wooden mountain spirits who are rustling outside the cold window.
"Jiangtanyue, Jizu Mountain is a land of Buddhas opened in the sky, a city transformed by the earth, and the Venerable Maha Kassapa is here to keep his clothes and meditate. How can it be a place of ghost domain and disaster? It is just a disaster. All crimes should be held responsible.
Thanks to the old monk, Xitan Temple is now suffering from misfortune. The old monk thought that no matter what, it would not spread to the two Danyue..."
The two old monks looked at each other, knowing that any more explanations now would only make people feel like they were shirking their responsibilities. Fortunately, Jiang Wen was emotionally stable and had mixed feelings in his heart. Many things he said should not have been revealed to outsiders, but the situation was critical at this time.
No matter what, we cannot lose this Austrian aid.
Master Anren was silent for a while, and then he whispered in confusion: "Donor, there are many monks in the temple who have encountered ghosts. Master and senior brothers keep it secret for the sake of the reputation of Sittan Temple, but they have always been entangled by ghosts.
All of them are people who have received full ordination and come and go in front of Buddha statues. No pilgrims or believers have ever been affected, let alone anything in the rock chamber medicine pool..."
Two old monks told Jiang Wen that it was not a rare thing for ghosts to appear in Xitan Temple. It had happened as early as the Dingsi year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty when the temple was first built.
The former abbot was not a knowledgeable Zen master, so he found the origin of this ghost after reading the "Maha Zhi Kuan" written by the former master Zhiyi of Tiantai Mountain in the Sui Dynasty. The ghost of fear was supposed to be at the end of the Dharma of Kunagami Buddha.
There was a bhikkhu who liked to annoy the monks and was expelled by them. Then he swore evil oaths and turned into a ghost, which often annoyed people who were sitting in meditation. The ghost took on various shapes, or looked like an insect with thorns on the head or face of a person.
Later, traces were found in the "Secret Methods for the Treatment of Zen Diseases" translated by Juqu Jingsheng of Beiliang.
The fearful ghost appeared again during the time of Sakyamuni Buddha. At that time, Mahakasyapa was teaching thousands of monks to rest in the lonely garden monastery and practice rigorously. A ghost actually appeared and disturbed the world. All the monks saw it.
The ghosts and gods, with faces like lutes, were flying around the monastery, with four eyes and two mouths, and their faces were shining brightly. They were all in various ferocious and terrifying shapes, and they struck at the armpits and other parts of the body with their hands.
Mahakasyapa opened his eyes to look, and saw that the monks were horrified and speechless. He also heard the voice of the monks chanting "fear, fear, fear," which suddenly appeared and disappeared like a spinning fire wheel, like a lightning bolt, and for a while, they were in the void.
Either way, the monks in the hall immediately ran away in chaos. Fortunately, Mahakassapa's profound practice remained unmoved. The Buddha spoke out to expose the true identity of this person who had fallen into evil karma, and also passed down the secret method of impeachment and treatment, and the crisis was turned into peace.
Zen Master Benwu explained to many disciples that Mahakassapa was the "first shutu" among the Buddha's disciples and the first person to practice non-attachment. The fear of ghosts was one of the tribulations of the Venerable Mahakassapa. The previous life was eliminated by the Buddha.
Only then did I catch up to the Jizu Mountain Dojo.
The fact that the ghost of Horti is haunting the mountain is actually due to the karma between the Venerable Mahakasyapa and the ghost of Horti that has not been eliminated. The monks only need to deal with it with meditation and uphold Bodhi. This ghost will cause no other harm to the monks.
Everyone can practice with confidence.
However, this incident is particularly frequent and violent in the first month of every year. When the monks of Sidtan Temple are meditating and chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall, ghosts will always come to entangle them. However, they still rely on the monks and only appear in places where Buddha statues are displayed.
He never hurts anyone when he goes out - therefore, the Sidtan Temple has set up a rule to observe fasting and close the temple in the first month. Only those who have just become a monk and have no time to receive the certificate of observing the precepts are allowed to move freely in and out of the temple.
"So that's the case. No wonder Master Anren can break the root of the root and cast away ghosts by chanting sutras..."
Jiang Wen has always been doubtful about ghosts. Based on the basic skills of a rhino wielder, he was afraid that he might have encountered monsters again. Recalling that day, he seemed to have heard the voices of the two people. It was from the cave.
There was a faint sound, and a puff of poisonous smoke came out and hit the nose and mouth...
Abbot Hongbian told Jiang Wen in a low voice that during the first month before his arrival, the Sittan Temple was almost at the stage of collapse.
The Pingxi Prince's Mansion was aggressive outside, and the Horde ghost was haunting inside. Abbot Hongbian had no choice but to completely close the temple to calm the situation. The Horde ghost only bothered monks who had received full ordination, and only appeared near the Buddha statues.
Abbot Bian also sealed the meditation halls in all the main halls so that the monks could not see the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
I thought that the strange things would subside a little, but what happened next was even more unexpected by everyone in Sidan Temple.
Some monks who chant sutras alone in the meditation room often feel that the buildings of the Sidtan Temple are shadowy, as if ghosts are constantly passing in and out. When they open the windows and take a closer look, there is no one there. And when the monks walk late at night, the buildings they pass by are heavily locked.
When you walk into the empty Buddhist temple, you will find faint laughter coming from it. When you peek out the window, you can see that there are numerous whip marks on the wooden and clay Buddha statues.
Later, there was a pair of moss-mottled stone lions and elephants outside the Three Holy Temples that had been deserted for a long time. They had not been taken care of for many years. There were also lone monks wandering nearby late at night. Hearing constant strange noises in the temple garden, they opened the door and opened the door.
When I saw the stone statues, they looked extremely weird. The brave stone lions had hair all over their bodies, and the Duanyan stone elephant was stumbling with all four legs on the ground. A strong earthy smell hit my face, almost suffocating me.
Therefore, Xitan Temple added an additional rule that no more than five people are allowed to go out after a certain period of time.
"Good guy, what kind of trouble did it happen to make you create a strange rule in the Sidan Temple..."
Jiang Wen frowned. He didn't expect that he just wanted to find an opportunity to sneak back to Guangxi and Guangxi, but he accidentally got into this dangerous place. But thinking about it carefully, there are still many loopholes in these rhetoric and cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
For example, there is no Buddha statue in the medicine pool in the cave, and Zejiang and Luo have never been ordained as monks. According to what the two old monks have said conclusively, there is no possibility of the fearful ghost haunting them at all - this would be
If it were Yan Yongchun, it would still make sense for Yuan Ziyi to bump into him. Could it be that Luo Shuang'er secretly followed Yuan Ziyi to become a monk while no one was paying attention, and ended up accidentally hurting herself?
Jiang Wen looked at the unconscious Luo Shuang'er with suspicion, and felt that this might be the most reliable statement.
If none of the above speculations are true, it is impossible that because the two of them are born with Buddha nature that overcomes human nature, they are the seeded contestants who are guaranteed to be sent to the Western Paradise, right?
"Amitabha, I'm afraid, as Master said, all this is because the karma between the Venerable Mahakassapa and the ghost of Phidi has not been eliminated, so the poison spread to Jizu Mountain and was taken over by Sidtan Temple. It's just that
Unintentionally, the two donors were involved, hey..."
"Two masters, I still have a doubt. If it is said that the ghost ghost has an unsolved karma with the Venerable Kassapa, why does it only bother the Sittan Temple and not go to the many temples on the mountain?"
As he heard this, the doubts in Jiang Wen's mind peeled off layer by layer, and he finally approached the central link where the truth came to light, and asked this question. However, as he was thinking about it, Jiang Wen thought of the stone carvings revealed on the top of the cave, and more.
Questions came to mind.
"Two masters, is the strange portrait that collapsed from the top of the stone chamber the true form of a certain Buddha and Bodhisattva?"
As soon as these words came out, Abbot Hongbian and Master Anren looked at each other and suddenly fell into silence, with both faces looking uneasy.
"Tan Yue, do you know who built this cave medicine pond?" Abbot Hongbian suddenly asked.
Jiang Wen shook his head, not understanding the purpose of the old monk's rhetorical question: "I only heard the master say that Xu Xiake came here. Logically speaking, it should have been here decades ago. It couldn't have been dug by this guest from the haze, right?"
Abbot Hongbian clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, this cave and the three holy temples in the temple were originally built by my master Zen Master Benwu, who asked for Dharma from Tiantai Mountain. The painting on the top of the cave has been dusty for many years, and I am afraid it is also
What Master did..."
"Tiantai Mountain asks for help? This sounds like another story."
Looking at Luo Shuang'er who was still unconscious, Abbot Hongbian let out a long sigh, closed his monk's robes and lowered his head with his palms, using sadness to resolve all the unwillingness and resentment in his heart.
"Amitabha, how can this old monk have the power of the Buddha? The incident in Sidtan Temple originated from the Three Holy Temples, and the incident in the Three Holy Temples came from the fact that there was no Zen master in the first place. The two old monks just wished that they could not eliminate the evil consequences with their bodies.
, various reasons, wait for the two old monks to explain slowly..."
On the top of the solitary peak, Jiang Wen and several old monks were sitting in a mountain house. They planned to use dead leaves as a mat and temporarily hang the cold wind as a curtain. They let the wind howl outside the window and watched a cold moon hanging high in the distance.
With a guilty look on his face, the Master talked about some past events.
…………
Master Anren, who was originally practicing vigorously and diligently, suddenly encountered a tribulation one day. It seemed that he had been reduced from a seed of Buddhahood to a person who had cut off his good roots. As the master, Zen Master Benmu worried day and night to find a countermeasure, but he still had no clue. In order to find a way out.
In order to maintain the practice of Master Anren without retreat, Zen Master Benwu finally decided to go to Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain to seek Dharma in person despite his old age.
Needless to say, the journey from Yunnan to Zhejiang was long, and the hardships were indescribable to outsiders. After experiencing many hardships, the old monk finally arrived at the foot of Tiantai Mountain.
Guoqing Temple, an ancient temple in Tiantai Mountain, was built in the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty. It was founded by Master Zhizhe, the founder of Tiantai Sect. It was first named Tiantai Temple. Later, it was renamed Guoqing Temple, which means "if the temple is completed, the country will be clear" because of its high status.
It is revered as the ancestral court of Tiantai Sect.
This time he went to Tiantai Mountain to ask for Dharma. In addition to asking for the "Huayan Great Repentance" to repent for his disciples' karma, he also wanted to ask for a martial arts. Zen Master Benwu knew that it would be difficult for his disciple Anren to learn Buddhism.
Then, he planned to find a new path from martial arts to Zen, and it was said that in the ancestral court of Tiantai Mountain, there was a weird and bizarre Buddhist Kung Fu called "Hanshan Kung Fu".
I just didn't expect that both of these things were extremely poisonous. The Three Holy Temples, which once enshrined the Avatamsaka Repentance, fell into disrepair after a certain incident, and no one dared to approach it, turning into a place where snakes and cats live in the Sidtan Temple;
"Hanshan Gong" has also been implicated by many foreign objects. Outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit the stone cave medicine pool, and there are many strange things. Today, it collapsed and its true appearance was revealed. In the end, even the temples in the mountain were at odds with each other...
"Two masters, this "Hanshan Kung Fu" is said to have been created by Master Hanshan, a poet monk in the Tang Dynasty. It is also occasionally taught in the world. From what I can see below, it is nothing more than a kung fu for cultivating one's moral character. Why do you think it is getting more and more evil in your mouth?"
Jiang Wen's expression was a little unnatural when he spoke, and his cheeks twitched unconsciously, but he quickly suppressed all signs and completely regained his composure.
Abbot Hongbian said without sadness or joy: "Amitabha, since Tan Yue also knows the story of the two masters found in Hanshan, it is naturally the best. Let the old monk repeat a few sentences to see if it is the same as what he heard..."
When Jiang Wen heard this, he thought the other party was praising him. After all, Hanshan Shide and Hanshan Shide were famous, so it was impossible for him not to know: "Oh? Could it be that the portrait on the top of the cave is Hanshan Shide?"
Hanshan lived in seclusion in Hanshi Mountain on Tiantai for more than seventy years, and named himself Hanshanzi; Shide, whose name is unknown, was named after Fenggan, a senior monk of Guoqing Temple when he was a child, and he found alms on the side of Chicheng Road.
It is said that Han Shan and Shi De met each other as if they were brothers. They usually climbed mountains to enjoy the water, read Buddhist scriptures, and recited ancient poems. Every time they gained something, they often wrote it among the trees and rocks. Most of their contents were about the joy of being secluded in the mountains and forests or warning the world. Later, they were collected by Taizhou
Lu Qiuyin, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, compiled the "Collection of Poems of Hanshanzi", which contains more than 300 poems. His deeds are also widely circulated because of his ridicule of tenses and bizarre behavior.
"...Exactly. It's a pity that there are so many falsehoods circulating in the world, some of which can be called ridiculous. But in the face of many particularly bizarre and ridiculous things, this may not be a bad thing."
Abbot Hongbian's words were euphemistic, and seeing that Jiang Wen had not changed his original intention about what he was listening to, he stopped pretending to be mysterious and continued.
"Master is not a Zen master. When he first arrived at Tiantai Mountain, he discovered that the people in Guoqing Temple were quite taboo about the story of Hanshan's discovery. At first, they did not dare to dig into the details. After repeated requests, the abbot of Guoqing Temple was willing to tell the truth.
"
"Master once told the two of us that the monks in the late Tang Dynasty were happy to join the sect, because both Han Shanshi and Lu Qiu lived on the rooftop, and Lu Qiu was a famous official in the dynasty. He pretended that this person was easy to win trust, so he relied on his name and made up his deeds to confuse future generations.
…”
Fake? A thunderbolt flashed through Jiang Wen's mind, predicting that what happened next would be extraordinary.
Afterwards, Abbot Hongbian told the exact words that the abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benmu. It turned out that that day, the abbot of Guoqing Temple completely denied the legend that had been passed down through the ages in front of Zen Master Benmu. This made Zen Master Benmu
He was also extremely surprised, but no matter what, the surprise at this time was not as great as what he would have heard later.
The abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benwu that the reason why they were sure that Lu Qiuyin's preface to the poem and the recorded deeds were fabricated lies was because he had compiled the notes circulated by eminent monks of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in Guoqing Temple and found that those who lived in the same era
The eminent monk, no one has ever seen with his own eyes, this weird poet monk "Han Shanzi"...
According to the eminent monk's notes, the incident began among the monks in Xiangjichu. Suddenly, there was a rumor that a strange man "had a haggard appearance, with a fallen cloth, wearing a birch bark as a crown, and dragging big wooden clogs, would come and linger outside Guoqing Temple from time to time."
"For three to five days, some people claimed to have seen the strange thing, but no one could explain the face clearly, which made people panic.
During that period of time, although the monks were frightened, they could only feel the vague presence of people. Only a crazy monk named Shi De, a fatherless and motherless monk in the temple, shouted that he could see "Han Shanzi" coming.
He was talking to himself in the corridor, his words were strange and obscure, as if he was speaking a language that did not belong to this world.
Every day, Shide collected the leftover food of the monks and stored it in a bamboo tube under the corridor. The bamboo tube disappeared in the morning, and the monks thought it was supernatural. Occasionally, Shide told people that "Hanshanzi" came from outside the sky and had a body with a body.
The sign of the Five Turbid Worlds is that the world is impermanent, the country is in danger, and the Baiyang calamity is coming. When the mountains sink, the oceans rise, and all living beings will cease to exist.
As time went by, Shi De became even more crazy. The monks of Guoqing Temple vaguely saw in the hazy moonlight that there seemed to be a man with a haggard appearance "walking slowly in the corridor, sometimes making noises, looking into the sky and cursing". Shi De also followed suit and looked into the sky and cursed.
, clamoring for Dadan.
You must know that Guoqing Temple is located at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, with few villagers nearby, and it is extremely quiet at night. Two unknown voices suddenly shouted, like thunder on the ground, and the whole temple was frightened. The monks could not bear it, so they came out to criticize him and drive him away.
, he didn’t even retort when he found it, he held his hands in laughter with a mysterious expression, and then walked away.
Later, Shi De's behavior became more and more weird, and he became more and more disrespectful towards many Buddha statues. He always said that "Han Shanzi" was coming to pick him up and leave.
Shi De was originally working as a chaplain in the dining hall. One day, he suddenly sat down in the Mahavira Hall and had food with the Buddha in front of the statue of Sakyamuni. Another day, he pointed at the statues of Arhats and shouted: "Ouch Chenru! You
What a little fruit of sravaka!" Then he gestured with his chopsticks as if no one was watching and laughed. Another time, the food in the kitchen was stolen by crows. When they found the food in the kitchen, they scolded Dharma protector Jialan for failing to uphold his duties, and even hit the holy statue with a wooden stick.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more strange, the eminent monk of Guoqing Temple locked the found items in the woodshed and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Soon, he found a message among the mountain people. Ten years ago, a wandering monk from Yanzhao stayed for the night.
The disciples were also dressed like this, but his absurd behavior made the monks impatient, so they chased him away and beat him with sticks. Finally, he died of his injuries on the cold rock. In the end, it was Shi De, a firewood collector, who told him to bury him.
He was buried somewhere unknown in Hanyan.
The last time the monks saw Shide was when he opened his handcuffs for some unknown reason, came to the Xiangji Kitchen and took a seat, eating as usual. Then Shide put down his bowls and chopsticks, cursing "thief! thief!" and looked haggard.
He walked out of the temple in ragged clothes, chanting absurd and terrifying scriptures, his feet gradually lifted up in the air, and he walked straight to the cold rock in the north of the temple. He walked faster and faster until the monks couldn't catch up...
When everyone from Guoqing Temple chased them to Hanyan, they found that they had long since disappeared. But on Hanyan, the monks discovered that there were many vines and vines on the cliffs nearby, interspersed with short bamboos, and huge boulders covered with moss in ocher black.
The faces of the people stood staggered like a screen, and a dark shadow was pulling the monk into the rock, while the cliff was slowly closing away from the rock.
The monks stood blankly on the spot. Countless mountains, rocks, trees, and walls of deserted houses gave people a dizzying feeling of terror. The depths of the entire cold rock were actually filled with all kinds of obscure and difficult ancient seal scripts. The characters were very ancient.
Later generations copied and studied it for a long time, but none of the county sergeants or common people could understand it.
According to the biography of Shide in "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty", "...the monks of the later temple were gathering firewood at the south peak. They saw a monk entering the rock, picking up the collar bone, and collecting the relics. Only then did he know that the rock was destroyed, because it was called Shide Rock.
." At this point, the life and death of the lost person have become clear, but no one can know the authenticity of "Han Shanzi".
Jiang Wen suddenly remembered that until later generations, the existence of Han Shan seemed to be a mystery. Many people tried to verify it, but they could not even find out the exact date of his life.
"Abbot Hongbian, as you said, Hanshan is actually a man in a trance, and is the collection of poems true or false? No one has ever seen him, so how did this "Hanshan Gong" come into being in later generations?"
"The Collection of Poems of Han Shanzi has many descendants who have attached it, but the traces of 'Han Shanzi' have disappeared since then. It is not that no one has seen it, it is just that there are only a few people in ancient times, and the words are not clear..."
The old monk recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, as if he was considering whether Jiang Wen was suitable to accept this message. After thinking again and again, he finally replied: "Lu Qiu's record is ridiculous and has no evidence, and is close to a blind novel. If you must examine the facts, it is better to believe in Lu Qiu's record."
For the pseudo-preface, I would rather believe in Guangting's "Supplementary Materials". The Xu Ling Mansion recorded by Guangting can be traced back to the year, month and origin, and it is consistent with Hanshan."
Jiang Wen fell into thinking.
According to Abbot Hongbian, Lu Qiuyin's "Preface to the Collection of Poems of Hanshanzi" by Lu Qiuyin has been researched in detail by many good people, and they have discovered some inaccuracies in it, such as the fallacy of the county name in the Tang Dynasty and the inaccuracy of Lu Qiuyin's official accessories.
The different dates before and after, the doubts about the collection of Hanshan's poems, the illusion of Hanshan being found and destroyed, etc., basically prove that it is a forgery by later generations.
The only convincing record from the same period comes from the writings of Du Guangting, a Taoist leader who had been promoting Taoism in Shu for fifty years during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
His "Supplements to Immortals" records that when Xu Lingfu, a high-minded Taoist priest during the Wuzong period of the Tang Dynasty, came to Tiantai Mountain, he saw "Hanshanzi" in the mountains and said that he was "weird and mysterious, and could not be tolerated in the world", so "Tongbai"
"Zhengjun Xu Lingfu, prefaced and collected it, divided it into three volumes, and traveled in the world", that is, he personally went to the Hanyan area to collect Hanshan's poems and deciphered the secrets in the ancient seal script, and then "the good guys recorded it"
, with more than 300 poems", it became the current "Collection of Poems by Han Shanzi".
In addition to this, the "Hanshan Gong" obtained by Xu Lingfu was also passed on to Du Guangting. Du Zhenzhen was stationed at Qingdu Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. From then on, "Hanshan Neigong" changed its appearance, from being a secret of Buddhism in Tiantai Mountain to flowing into the world.
In the rivers and lakes.
"Any talk about gods is too nonsense. Abbot Hongbian, has anyone else seen 'Han Shanzi'?"
Jiang Wen suddenly asked, seeming a little impatient that the conversation turned to Suo Yinjigu, and asked for more details.
Master Anren was silent for a while, and finally replied slowly: "From the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, how could only one person have seen it?"
Master Anren apparently also visited the traces found by Hanshan, and told that Xu Lingfu was not the only person who had seen "Hanshanzi".
First of all, there is Xu Ning, a poet of the mid-Tang Dynasty. He was the first person to record "Han Shanzi" in poetry, and he was also the only Tang Dynasty poet who was suspected of having seen Han Shanzi during his lifetime.
It is written in "Yan Gui Shi": "Without hanging silk clothes, I returned to the cold rock to live. On a windy and snowy night in the cold rock, I crossed the Yanqian stream again." It seems to be a reward for the visit of "Han Shanzi".
And until a hundred years later in the Song Dynasty, some people still encountered "Han Shanzi" by chance.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Zhuan, also known as Ziyue, once served in Yuyao, Yuezhou. He also claimed to have encountered "Han Shanzi" in the Tiantai Mountains. He refused to answer any detailed questions, and then his temperament changed drastically and he believed in Buddhism. Yang Shi, a great scholar of Chengmen Lixue,
In the "Epitaph of Li Ziyue" written for him, it is also mentioned in Spring and Autumn style: "It was written by Gong Tao, named Zi Yue, and his surname was Li. He was a descendant of the Miao kings of the Tang Dynasty... He once visited Hanshanzi alone... Especially in his later years.
In Buddhism, family members steal and blame others, so no one dares to ask about it. A handwritten poem called "Hanshan Poem" is intended to show the disciples that they should probably attack others' evil and defeat their own good as a warning..."
For this reason, Zen Master Benwu personally climbed to the Hanyan Rock in the southwest of the temple. He found that the mountainside of Hanyan was like a thunderbolt. The cliffs there were exposed and steep, and the thin rocks were jagged straight up and down. It was difficult for ordinary people to walk.
Found an encounter with someone.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yan Hui, a painter who specialized in ghosts and ghosts, had strange brushwork. He once hid a strange painting in the mountains. It seemed that he encountered a cold mountain in the darkness of the mountains and found it, and found it with a broken face and a laugh. This is the creepy scene.
Zen Master Benwu copied it and brought it back to Sidtan Temple, and quietly hid it in a stone cave...
""Hanshan Gong" is like the 'Hanshanzi', which is difficult for ordinary people to meet, but if someone is destined to meet it, it will be with him like a shadow and will never go away. Therefore, the old monk claims to have practiced hard for decades, but in fact he has not achieved anything in one day.
It is the number of destiny."
Master Anren's words were full of ambiguities. He raised his clear and sad face, looked at Jiang Wen alone and said, "The root of "Hanshan Gong" still comes from the world of Huazang in the Avatamsaka Sutra. The infinite pearls reflect each other, and the pearls reflect each other.
Pearls are contained, shadows are photographed, they overlap endlessly, and they are confused with cause and effect. Therefore, it is possible to stop the practice of the old monk from retreating, but it is of no benefit to ordinary people."
Jiang Wen was horrified. He didn't expect that there were such evil practices among the Buddhist Kung Fu in Tiantai Mountain. It seems that Southern Shaolin is not the only one who is good at going astray. The Xitan Temple was also terrorized because there was no Zen master to operate it.
Be wary of being entangled by ghosts and other foreign things, from which you cannot escape.
In order to stop the fighting of internal energy in the internal organs, I mistakenly ingested Master Anren's internal energy of Hanshan. As a result, the old monk's internal energy was exhausted and he was fine. However, because my own internal energy was entangled by Hanshan's internal energy, my skills were greatly damaged...
"Two masters, Jiang is completely confused now. Is this Xitan Temple in Jizushan a Buddhist country? How do you think you two mean that the desire to avoid fear is greater than the desire to worship the Buddha?"
Jiang Wen was still planning to make a joke, but Abbot Hongbian still saluted Jiang Wen solemnly. Master Anren also accompanied him. The waving of the monk's robe caused the candle lamp to shake, and countless phantoms were instantly transformed.
"Amitabha, I am afraid that Tanyue's encounter with the fearful ghosts now is just the tip of the iceberg. This Jizu Mountain is certainly the kingdom of the Buddha opened by heaven and the city transformed by the earth. But as the "Vimalakīrti Sutra" says, there are many demon kings in the worlds of the ten directions.
This is the Bodhisattva who abides in inconceivable liberation. Anyone who can beg for hands, feet, heads, marrow, and brain and speaks in this way is the Bodhisattva who abides in inconceivable liberation."
Abbot Hongbian's eloquence is not limited, and his tongue can bloom like a lotus flower, but what he said makes people goosebumps all over their bodies, "Great Bodhisattva, good teachers often turn into evil things to make people make progress without retreating. Therefore, the devil is here in the old monk."
Both of them have Bodhisattvas in their eyes..."
The more Jiang Wen listened, the more his scalp became numb. A coldness grew and spread from the bottom of his heart, and the sudden realization in his heart arrived with the coldness - no wonder these two old monks were acting strangely, and they insisted that Jizu Mountain was...
"Buddha country" turns out to be this meaning!
"...It turns out that in your eyes, the Buddha's kingdom in the world where the Buddha's light shines is no different from the immeasurable demon kingdom filled with evil spirits..."
To use an analogy, it is like an obedient and diligent cow. It also needs a whip occasionally. The purpose of holding the whip is not to torture the cow, but to make it move forward better. But if the cow cannot withstand the torture and dies, is this a good thing?
What? If a person really sacrifices his limbs, head, marrow and brain to die, will the Bodhisattva in front of him be considered good or evil?
I had no intention of going to the Paradise, so what kind of place did I end up in by accident?
