Chapter 473: Pick only lotus flowers, not stinky mud
When the train arrived in Delhi, Li Huqiu said goodbye to Zhang Tiejun.
Along the way, Huqiu asked him privately if he wanted to return to China with him. Zhang Tiejun refused. In China, he was a notorious wanted criminal, but in Japan, he was a respected Zen master who could not only fool the swordsman.
Samurai can also help lovely female believers explain the meaning of marriage and Zen. Therefore, Zen Master Dayu decided to go to Japan with these samurai who were grateful to him. Li Huqiu had no choice but to express his appreciation for his tireless deception and his energy to carry out the deception to the end. Zhang Tiejun
The modest expression is all for the purpose of earning foreign exchange for the country. Sooner or later, my brother will return to his roots. Li Huqiu said that since you have such great ambitions, let's make a friendship, and my brother must find a way to fulfill your wish.
Before they were about to leave, Li Huqiu patted Zhang Tiejun on the shoulder and expressed his deep regret in front of a few little devils: "Master's wonderful understanding of Zen philosophy, his wisdom and wisdom, and his explanations all the way have really benefited me a lot and I have great admiration for him."
All the warriors had learned Huqiu's magical kung fu, especially Nobuo Nagaizumi, who knew that Li Huqiu's martial arts skills were still superior to his father's. Seeing that Li Huqiu admired Zen Master Dayu so much, they couldn't help but think: No wonder his father (
Master) fell in love with Zen Master Dayu at first sight. Zen teaching is exquisite and connected with martial arts. Only true masters can understand it.
Zhang Tiejun had a smile in his eyes and praised Huqiu as a good friend in his heart. He clasped his hands and said: "Donor Li is a person with great supernatural powers. His concentration and mindfulness are far superior to ordinary people. Zen practice is all based on the word "enlightenment" and it all depends on personal practice and enlightenment."
, The words of the poor monk are only right in the heart of the poor monk, but they may not be right in your heart."[
Li Huqiu said: "The master has superb Zen knowledge and extensive knowledge. You should know the allusions of Kumarajiva, the eminent monk of the two Jin Dynasties."
Zhang Tiejun smiled while holding flowers, clasped his hands and said: "How good you are, you have an impeccable tongue. The demeanor of the predecessors of the saintly monks really makes us miss him endlessly." After that, he briefly summarized Kumarajiva's life.
Tao Lai.
The two Jin Dynasties were in chaos, and the competition for talents became a hot spot. In 382 AD, Fu Jian sent the heroic general Lu Guang to attack Qiuci. Before leaving, he said to Lu Guang in the palace: "The emperor rules in accordance with heaven and loves the people as his sons."
Originally, I didn't attack other people's territory because I was greedy for it. It was actually because there were people with righteousness there. I heard that there was Kumarajiva in the Western Kingdom. He had a deep understanding of the Dharma and was good at understanding yin and yang. He was a master of later studies. I miss him very much.
.The sage is a great treasure of the country. If Kucha is captured, send him back immediately with a fast horse!"
Zhang Tiejun said with regret: "But Lu Guang had no discernment. After capturing Kumarajiva, he couldn't see anything remarkable about him. At that time, Kumarajiva was in his early thirties. Seeing that he was so young, Lu Guang
Playing like a mortal, forcing Kumarajiva to marry his cousin Princess Kucha."
The Japanese love Chinese classics, Buddhist scriptures, and blue and white pens. There is nothing they are not interested in. All the warriors were fascinated by what they heard. Niyu He, who frightened Li Huqiu, asked: "Master, what did that eminent monk do?"
?”
Zhang Tiejun showed a look of resentment and sighed: "Kumaroshi refused to agree no matter what, so Lu Guang planned to pour wine on him. After drinking, he was locked in a secret room with his cousin. Kumarajiva was drunk.
I broke the precepts. I felt extremely regretful and regretful, and I was in pain and couldn't bear to live. First I wanted to die but was unable to do so, and then I lived to endure the humiliation for the sake of promoting the Dharma."
Niwa Tsuru said: "In Japan, eminent monks do not have to observe sexual precepts. For example, the famous master Ikkyu once met a blind female singer and fell in love with her. He also wrote many love poems for her, which is passed down in Japanese Buddhist circles.
Talk for the sake of beauty."
Zhang Tiejun actually had very limited knowledge. Not only did he not know who Ikkyu Zongjun was, but even the allusions to Kumarajiva were made up for him by Li Huqiu in the car. He rolled his eyes at Niyu and thought to himself, these are these little devils.
What a fucking nonsense. I have never heard that a monk who seeks a singing prostitute is worthy of being called an eminent monk. He continued: "Later, Lu Guang asked Kumarajiva to ride an ox or a fierce horse, trying to knock him down. But Kumarajiva
He endured the humiliation without a single complaint. Lu Guang also felt embarrassed and had to give up. On the way back to the army, Lu Guang heard that Fu Jian had defeated Feishui and established the Houliang Kingdom in today's Liangzhou, Gansu Province. What did Kumarajiva say for him?
Although he planned to teach the Dharma to the military, he did not change his ambition and devoted himself to learning Chinese until he became proficient in it, preparing for the future propagation of Buddhism and preaching."
Li Huqiu said: "Master Kumarajiva endured humiliation and heavy burdens to promote Buddhism. In fact, it took more courage to live than to die at that time. He was really a man of great courage. If he had died to prove the Buddha's heart at that time, it would have been
There are only a few devout monks in the world, so how could there be a subsequent generation of Buddhist masters."
Zhang Tiejun continued: "In order to invite Kumarajiva to preach the Dharma and preach the religion, Yao Xing of the Later Qin Dynasty sent troops to Houliang, defeated the Liang army, welcomed Kumarajiva into Chang'an, and worshiped him as a national advisor. From then on, Kumarajiva
He translated and preached scriptures at Xiaoyaoyuan and Ximing Pavilion in Chang'an, and recruited disciples. The state came forward to organize and preside over Buddhist scripture translation sessions for more than 3,000 people, leaving behind many Buddhist classics that have been passed down through the ages. One day, Jiu felt that his end was near.
Kumarajiva swore to everyone: "If there are no errors in the scriptures I preached, after I burn my body, let this tongue not be burned out or rotten!" Soon after, Kumarajiva passed away and became a Buddha in Xiaoyao Palace.
After the body was burned and destroyed by fire, only the tongue remained intact. To this day, the relics of the tongue are still in Wuwei City at the foot of the Qilian Mountains."
Zhang Tiejun said this and concluded: "Master Kumarajiva is kind and sincere in treating others. He has a clear view of himself. He is good at following and leading. He is tireless in his Buddhist practice all day long. Some people question that he broke the sexual precepts and had children. He said
Studying Buddhism is like a lotus blooming in the stinking mud. Pick only the lotus and not the stinking mud. This is an ancient verse and a model for our generation."
Niwa He had some insights and said: "Master Ikkyu Sojun once wrote a poem: Sometimes there are rivers and seas, and sometimes there are mountains, and Taoists outside the world are fame and fortune. Night after night, they sit on the bed and quilt, chatting quietly and leisurely. The behavior of this eminent monk is similar to that of our Japanese Zen masters.
similar."
"If the lotus is Buddhism and the master is stinky mud, how can there be the whiteness of the lotus without the dirt of the stinky mud? Master Kumarajiva has reached the realm of dirt." Li Huqiu praised: "The Zen master is wrong.
Well, there are certainly many examples of ancient emperors using weapons to win over someone. In the west, there is Helen who caused a Trojan Horse to massacre the city, and in the east, there are beacon games to play with the princes, and the heroes of these cases are not the most beautiful women who can dominate the country.
The two emperors were so thirsty for talents that they did not hesitate to compete with each other with swords. There is only one master Kumarajiva in the past. To be honest, I admire the Zen master as much as Fu Jian and Yao Xing did to Kumarajiva.
.”
The Japanese began to learn from the Chinese in the Tang Dynasty, and especially respected Zen Buddhism. Only a few of these warriors had a partial understanding of what Zhang Tiejun said. After listening to Zhang Tiejun's words, they were all filled with emotion. It was worthy of being explained to their mentor (father).
The great Zen master who was so confused actually attracted this young Chinese martial arts master to admire him so much that he even wanted to take him back. Such a person should stay in Japan. It is a pity that Zen Master Dayu will stay at this moment.
It's not up to us at all. The warriors, led by Changquan, all turned their attention to Zhang Tiejun, full of expectations.
Zhang Tiejun did not disappoint them, and spoke righteously: "Donor Li's kind words really make me feel ashamed. You and I have known each other for many years, and you know my character back then. You will always keep your promises, and me and
I have known Mr. Changquan for many years, and we have talked about Buddhism freely with each other. Now that Mr. Changquan has gone, the poor monk has long promised to send him back to his hometown and conduct a seven-seven-forty-nine-day purification ceremony for him. The words have come out of my mouth.
, enter his heart and break the promise. If Donor Li insists, please take Dayu's head back."
Li Huqiu sighed with emotion and said: "I wanted to invite you to return to China to give lectures, but you wholeheartedly want to fulfill your promise to Mr. Changquan. This parting is far away, and I only hope that Master can return to China as soon as possible.
At that time, I will set up an altar to invite you and invite you to open the Huiming Sutra and promote Buddhism." I thought to myself: Old friend, that's all I can do for you. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the rivers and lakes are dangerous. I sent you here before you return.
Cultivate your mind and nature at home, and the rest depends on your own ability.
****
There is no need to go into details about how the warriors admired and thanked Zhang Tiejun after they happily sent Li Huqiu, the god of plague, away. They only said that Huqiu took a flight to Hong Kong Island and returned to Hangzhou.
In the battle of Suoyang Mountain, when Li Huqiu was injured and bleeding heavily, he first used the Shinto sword of the heart to kill the Yinmen yin-yang swordsman Qianye Ryuichi, and then used the guidance of the heart to confuse the Yinmen military commander Gao Gejun, and then was seriously injured.
The Shinto of the Heart is not allowed to be used again for two years. On the other hand, there is internal strife in the Free Society, Wang Mao's death, Qiu Tiancan, Shen Yang's departure to North America, the joys and sorrows of the world, the separation of brothers, and all kinds of things happening one after another. Even if Huqiu is a heart made of iron,
It is inevitable that you will become tired of the years in the world.[
From this day on, he began the long-awaited life of a family man, studying and cultivating himself, practicing boxing to cultivate his character.
Learn the art of civility and martial arts, and understand the art of self-cultivation. China has been passed down for thousands of years, and hundreds of schools of thought have studied in all directions. The more you understand, the less knowledgeable you become.
Li Huqiu's original Heart Guidance Technique is a health-preserving physical technique that imitates the effects of boxing practice by using internal energy and blood. However, his Heart Divine Way is already a skill that consumes extremely mental potential, although it can be exerted in a very short time.
The power of the Shinto that exceeds his own limit will also cause great harm to his body. As the saying goes, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This damage lasted for many years, and finally exploded after the last extreme consumption.
Since returning home to cultivate his moral character, Li Huqiu has meditated and entered the wonderful realm of inner and outer spiritual connection, or practiced with Luoyan Li Li to reach the state of bliss and great joy, and when he sees the five aggregates, he will discover the five internal organs, meridians and acupuncture points in his body.
, there are tiny scars everywhere. And the ability of his original Heart Guidance Technique to repair these injuries has had little effect even when his physical training has reached the ultimate level. Including dual cultivation of secret techniques, he has already reached the secret.
The state of the Great Joyful Buddha mentioned in the technique, and the double body cultivation technique had little effect on him.
Where heaven is at its limit, manpower will sometimes be exhausted.
After all, Li Huqiu's theoretical foundation in martial arts was not solid, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to seek advice from experts.
The first one that comes to mind is naturally Dong Zhaofeng.
Dong Zhaofeng said to him: "You and I are both teachers and friends. With your achievements today, I have nothing to teach you. You are confused in martial arts. Not even Nie Xiaolin can give you any guidance, let alone
Is it me? But I do have a candidate. He may not be able to help you, but the portal he controls may have what you need."
Li Huqiu suddenly thought of Chen Zhiyang, and Dong Zhaofeng said: "It is this man. The predecessor of the authentic Taoist sect is Nanshan Taoism. It was passed down by Wang Zhe, a great Qi practitioner in the Song Dynasty. He is best at Taoist Qigong and ancient Daoyin."
Techniques, as well as various tips and tricks such as diet regulation and Chinese medicine regulation, are all secrets that have been passed down orally from generation to generation."
The former representative Chen Zhiyang went to see Li Huqiu to negotiate, but Huqiu did not give him face. At this moment, he wanted to learn his secret skills to recuperate his body and mind, which was really hard to say. Li Huqiu hesitated again and again, and finally could not make up his mind. He had to wait for nothing.
I held a copy of the Huangdi Neijing published in the Qing Dynasty and pondered it.
****
When Li Huqiu returned home, the happiest people were undoubtedly his mother, Luo Yan and other women's troops, especially Xiao Yanzi. In the past, when he was living on campus, he rarely went home in several months, but now he is driven home by Uncle Bao every day.
Zhang Yongbao, who lost one arm, is now living in Yanzhai. Like Li Huqiu, he has been indifferent to worldly fame and fortune. Even with only one arm left, he has not given up his pursuit of martial arts. Since he got the sword, Uncle Bao
Then he began to study Shaolin swordsmanship, aiming to restore the long-lost Thirteen Swords of Bodhidharma.
On this day, the wind was warm and the sun was shining brightly. Li Huqiu was meditating in his room. Using the Taoist method of meditating, he traced in his mind the sentence in the Huangdi Nei Jing that nourishes yang in spring and summer, and nourishes yin in autumn and winter. He thought about it, and gradually he thought about it.
Stay extremely still and sincere. When you have a conscious intention, your mind will be active. Concentrate your mind into the Qi points, return your breath to the root, and activate the true Yang of the Lower Yuan, which will quickly return to the light. When the spirit and Qi are not released, use the breath with the spirit, as if it is there, and the intention is here.
Here, it is like burning the body with martial arts fire. When the spirit and energy have been restored, you should forget to breathe, so that the fire is bathed, advance, retreat, rise and fall, and return to the roots. Repeatedly practice according to this method, and experience a warm current in the Dantian from subtle to large, from small to large.
Wenwu is strong and soft, obedient and rebellious, following the heart, traveling throughout the body, and finally it is wonderful.
Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps, the cheerful rhythm was that of a little swallow. I woke up from trance and sighed in my heart. Although I had made some progress, it was still a grinding effort.
When Little Yanzi came back from school, he went to see Yan Yuqian first, said hello, and then went straight to Huqiu. When he entered the door, he called out: "Dad, do you think who came to see us?"
Li Huqiu opened his eyes and glanced at the little girl, his face flushed slightly, and he said with a smile: "They are all grown up girls, and they are still frizzy. Who is worthy of your fuss?" As he said, he looked in the direction of Xiao Yanzi's finger.
.In the yard, Zhang Yongbao was leading a Taoist priest into the house. After looking at it, he thought to himself, no wonder Xiao Yanzi was so happy, it turned out that he had arrived. The person who came was none other than the protector of Jingci Zhai who informed Huqiu about Xiao Yanzi's whereabouts.
Zhang Daojun.
Li Huqiu hurriedly stood up to welcome him out, smiling and greeting: "I heard magpies squawking early in the morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming to the door. Where does the Taoist priest come from?"
Zhang Daojun stepped forward quickly and saluted: "Queen Tianzun, I am so presumptuous as a poor Taoist. Mr. Li is not surprised and is already secretly overjoyed. How dare you accept the word "honored guest"?"
Li Huqiu let the guest into the house and sat down separately. Chen Lili was also at home. When he heard that the guest was visiting, he made a pot of tea and brought it over. Zhang Daojun saw her entering the house with the teapot and did not dare to neglect, so he quickly stood up and saluted.
: "It turns out that Mr. Chen is also at home. The poor Taoist Jing Ci Zhai and Zhang Daojun met Mr. Chen at the charity dojo during the drought in northern Yunnan a while ago."
Chen Lili hurriedly put down the teapot and said cheerfully: "Master Taoist, please don't be polite. This is home. There is no Mr. Chen. Calling me by any name is better than Mr. Chen."
Zhang Daojun obviously knew the details of Huqiu very well, so he opened his mouth and said: "Then I will call you Madam according to the previous dynasty." [
Chen Li smiled brightly: "I like this." He then said, "Master Taoist, please sit down." After saying that, he stood beside Huqiu and put a hand on Huqiu's shoulder.
Li Huqiu asked with a smile: "How do you know each other?"
Zhang Daojun sat down again and said: "Last time when there was a drought in northern Yunnan, Mrs. Ru generously donated money, but also contributed a lot of effort. She did good deeds but asked for nothing. All good deeds were done anonymously. If Jingcizhai was not well-informed, the poor
I don’t know that Mr. Li has such a Bodhisattva-hearted Mrs. Ru.”
Chen Lili waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Stop praising me. Taoist Master, please tell me where you came from."
Zhang Daojun said: "To be honest, Pindao came from western Hunan and came here to ask for help."
Li Huqiu said "oh" and asked: "The Taoist priest once guided me to find my adopted daughter. After so many years, I have been looking for an opportunity to repay the favor, but I have never been able to do so. This time is just a chance to repay the Taoist priest's kindness."
If you have the opportunity, just ask if you have any requests, as long as I can do it."
Zhang Daojun said: "To be honest with Mr. Li, Pindao's destination for going north this time is Baiyun Temple in the capital. He is looking for someone to resolve a misunderstanding and entanglement that has lasted for decades. If he goes there, he may not be able to come back. Pindao can only
There is one thing on my mind that I can’t let go of, and that is the matter of winning back the reputation of the Taoist sect as an authentic sect.”
Li Huqiu said sternly: "The Taoist Priest can just speak freely. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best. But I don't know what the Taoist Priest needs me to do?"
Zhang Daojun said: "Nanshan Taoism was passed down from Patriarch Wang Zhe, and was divided into two sects, the northern and southern sects, at the end of the Song Dynasty. The northern sect, Qiu Chuji, created Longmen Taoism, and the southern sect, Liu Chuxuan, passed it down to Zhendao.
There were disputes, but despite this, the two sects of the north and the south always shared the same hatred on major external matters."
Li Huqiu said: "Since they are all Taoist teachings passed down by Patriarch Wang Zhe, and there is not much difference between the southern and northern sects, what is there to argue about the title of the authentic Taoist sect?"
Zhang Daojun said: "This is indeed the case. Today, Taoist brother Chen Zhiyang of Longmen Taoism advocates Taoism's entry into the world, but Pindao has a different view. Even so, it is just a small dispute within the sect. The trouble will only arise from Chen Zhiyang of Longmen Taoism a while ago.
Talking about it from a disciple who was taken in by senior brother."
Li Huqiu said: "He is so capable, but he always needs to find a successor. Is it so strange to accept a disciple?"
Zhang Daojun shook his head and said: "Originally, there is nothing surprising, but the apprentices that Senior Brother Chen accepted are from Japan. Not only do they accept apprentices, but they also have to teach the true story. This is inappropriate."
Taoist esoteric science, the true secret of entering the family. No wonder Zhang Daojun has such a big opinion. After hearing this, Li Huqiu asked: "Is the Taoist worried that the secret skills of China will be spread to Japan?"
Zhang Daojun said: "That's right! Originally, when the ancestors taught the Taoism, there was no distinction between race and gender. However, Taoism is divided into territories and countries, but people are divided into races and nationalities. Pindao believed that the Japanese were a country of dogs and warriors, and the Taoist sect really taught the secrets.
How can we pass it on to this enemy who has a blood feud with our Chinese nation?"
Li Huqiu thought for a while and said: "Taoist Master, I have the same idea as you. I think Taoist Master Chen Zhiyang must also be very clear about such a simple truth, but he still accepted a Japanese as a disciple. It seems that this Japanese
The apprentice is very extraordinary."
Zhang Daojun said: "Her name is Wangyue Yanfo. Although she is only sixteen years old, she has a natural Taoist body and is an unparalleled Taoist genius. Three months ago, she came to China with the Japanese Taoist sect leader Yi Tingtian to visit Taoism. Senior Brother Chen Zhiyang only met him once.
