The hung sail went straight into the sky, and the huge sail sailed forward slowly through the wind and waves. The rolling dark clouds in the sky were pressing down violently, and a dull atmosphere arose spontaneously.
On the deck, except for the monk from the Western Regions who was meditating on the deck, the only two brothers left were the Ling Tianyun brothers. They stood on the deck and looked at the surging river, with all kinds of feelings filling their hearts. They stood on the boat
Standing there, I felt like I was riding the wind and riding the waves. The pointed bow directly cut open the turbid river water on both sides, turning up waves of yellow turbid foam and hitting the hull, but it was also
Another magnificent scenery.
In addition to the magnificent scenery in front of the ship, they also looked at the Western monk who was meditating on the deck. The deck was not very big, so the passenger ship made the cabin as large as possible to accommodate more people.
There were many guests. The first floor of the cabin was some ordinary seating halls. Due to the strong wind outside the cabin, the guests inside did not come out of the cabin and came to the deck. The second floor of the passenger ship was filled with some independent rooms that cost a lot of money. Zhao Kuangyin and his three people also
In room A on the second floor. And they were not in a hurry to return to their room, but stood on the deck.
The monk from the Western Regions meditated and meditated as if nothing happened. He showed no interest in the surrounding scenery. As soon as he got on the ship, he meditated on the deck and fell into meditation. He didn't know whether he was a real ascetic, but looking at his decorations,
Obviously, he was not a weather-beaten ascetic who ate outdoors in the rain and wind. But he had no external concerns and concentrated on meditating, which also made Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun have a deep interest.
"Amitabha, the young monk has disturbed the two benefactors' enjoyment." I don't know when, the Western Region monk suddenly appeared behind Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin. The fat monk clasped his hands together and lowered his eyebrows at them.
Said. The sudden appearance and the deep voice really shocked Ling Tianyun. For some reason, he felt something strange in his heart. But his directness told him that this monk from the Western Regions had something special.
There was an inexplicable aura of danger. I don't know if it was because of the Buddhist skills or other factors, but Ling Tianyun felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart.
"Master, you're welcome. My two brothers have nothing to do and are here to enjoy the scenery. However, my two brothers disturbed the master's meditation practice." A glint flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes. He didn't know when the monk appeared.
Behind them, if the opponent makes a surprise attack silently, they will not be able to react. Although the two of them will look back at the monk from time to time, it is impossible to stare at him all the time, but unexpectedly
In a moment of negligence, the monk appeared behind them, which was really incredible.
"The two donors are very polite. The young monk is not good. He comes from Mount Everest in the Western Region. I have just come to the Central Plains of China. I wonder what I call the two donors?" The fat monk still adhered to the Buddhist rituals and exuded a solemn aura like a treasure. And he
The Mount Everest they were talking about was a place that Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin had never heard of. When the confused expressions on their faces appeared, the bad master suddenly showed a look of surprise in his eyes.
"You two have heard that the highest peak in the Western Regions is covered with snow all year round and the terrain is dangerous. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to climb to the top of the peak. You must have never seen the bright scenery like the high peak and the clouds surrounding it.
It really makes people want to worship." In just a few words, Master Bu Miao mentioned a mountain that was unparalleled in the world, making Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin's eyes light up. There are still such majestic and majestic peaks in this world.
This was really the first time they had heard of it.
"I wonder why Master went to Bianjing this time." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but asked the bad master out of curiosity.
"Monk, I won't lie. This time I went to the imperial capital to see the majestic city of China with its outstanding people. Secondly, I had an unfinished promise to fight. I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two benefactors. Monk
We should not be competitive, but this is not a battle between the monk and himself, but a battle between Taoism and Buddhism. The monk can only go all out and come all the way east alone. At the same time, he also wants to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and see them.
All the heroes of this land of China."
Although Master Bu Miao spoke with incomparable humility, his humble tone gave people a sense of extremely powerful self-confidence. At the same time, his words also revealed the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, which has been impossible to determine the winner for thousands of years.
It is an endless struggle. Both Buddhism and Taoism focus on recuperating the body and cultivating the nature, but they still cannot jump out of the secular world. Buddhism pays attention to self-cultivation, while Taoism pays attention to the natural follow-up of all laws.
sex.
When Ling Tianyun heard this, his heart trembled slightly. He didn't know if he should know something. The "Mahayana Heart Sutra" that the old monk gave him was not without purpose. Was it closely related to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?
He invisibly became a pawn in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but what puzzled him was that the old monk never strongly asked him to become a disciple, nor did he admit that he was a disciple of Buddhism.
"The young monk observes that the breath in this little benefactor's body is pure and pure. He must have learned my Buddhist skills, but he doesn't know where the little benefactor came from and who his respected teacher is?"
Sure enough, as soon as the idea in Ling Tianyun's mind took shape, the bad master's eyes moved from Zhao Kuangyin to him. That's not good, it really is not good. Ling Tianyun couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. His martial arts realm was not as good as it was.
It's not too high, and his goal is not to get involved in those sect disputes. He didn't expect that the bad master would not be secretive at all, but went straight to the point and asked directly.
"I've met the master, and I learned Buddhist skills. As for which sect of Buddhism, I really don't know anything about. The boy's skills were also given to me by a master named Kuyi. During this period, he was not told that he must join Buddhism.
, and he didn’t ask me to become his teacher. I wonder if the master is satisfied with these answers?"
Ling Tianyun was full of wariness about this bad master, but he still told it truthfully. But what surprised him was that when he said Master Ku Yi, there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of the bad master.
He was confused and obviously did not recognize the skinny old monk Ku Yi.
"But the little monk has gone too far. The little monk is so ignorant that he really doesn't know which eminent monk it is, which made the little benefactor laugh." The bad master said with his hands clasped together and his eyebrows lowered.
"Master has lived in the Western Regions for a long time. I don't know why he is willing to do so, so why should he blame himself?" Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin quickly stepped forward to help. He didn't know much about this Western Regions monk. He only knew that the Western Regions ascetic monks were in the shape of wind, food and rain.
If he is withered, he shouldn't have that fat head and big ears opposite him that is so ominous and shiny.
"Amitabha, I'm sorry to bother you two." The bad master clasped his hands together, and there was a glossy color on his fat, fleshy hands. He was a weather-beaten ascetic monk.
After saying that, he walked away silently. Not far away from them, he meditated again. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and soon entered a state of trance. He really didn't take everything that just happened to heart, and he couldn't afford to put it down.
The image of a group of eminent monks is vividly displayed.
Ling Tianyun was still wary. He didn't understand why the bad monk asked him these questions. What did he have to do with the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? Could it be that he was interested in his skills or something else. A hint of crisis flashed through his heart.
The crisis directed at him was no longer directed at his sworn brother Zhao Kuangyin, which surprised him.
The captain was patrolling the cabin with his hands behind his back. His thick body was moving slowly inside the cabin like a hill. Everything was normal, except that the wind and waves seemed to be bigger, and the low dark clouds seemed to be darker.
It became a little thicker, and the dark clouds that came in violently seemed to have fixed the ship. They kept gathering above their heads and would not disperse for a long time.
"You two, the boat is about to enter the most dangerous section of the Yellow River. If you stand on the large deck, you will easily be thrown out of the boat. Please get back to the cabin to avoid any accidents." The boatman said.
Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin were still standing on the deck. He frowned, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. But he still walked towards them responsibly, explained to them, and asked them to return to the cabin.
What puzzled Ling Tianyun was that the boatman did not warn the bad monk, and seemed to regard the fat monk as nothing. When the boat was about to set sail, it was delayed for such a fat monk, and that
After the monk got on the boat, he ignored him, as if he had abandoned him. Such an abnormal behavior made him puzzled. Logically speaking, business people like to make friends most, and the fat monk should be the same.
He was an extraordinary monk, but the boatman ignored him, which seemed a bit illogical.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin quickly said to the boatman: "It's rare for my brothers to see the majestic scenery of the Yellow River. When we get to the stone gate, we will return to the cabin. Thank you for your concern.
, my two brothers also cherish their own lives."
"It's best this way. If something goes wrong, our ship will not bear any responsibility. Just take care of yourself and don't throw it into the Yellow River and feed the bastards in the river."
The boatman didn't say any more nonsense. He explained something and left in a hurry. The Ling Tianyun brothers were left with wry smiles on their faces. They couldn't tell whether they liked or disliked the boatman of the Guo family, but the other party
The deliberate reminder is a good intention.
Looking far into the distance, a huge stone gate towering into the clouds appeared in front of them. This was not the Shimen Gorge, one of the most dangerous sections of the Yellow River. The Shimen Gorge was less than thirty feet wide, making it one of the narrowest sections of the Yellow River.
The passenger boat went down the river and gradually approached the Shimen Gorge. The waves stirred up under the boat were almost ten feet high, and the sound of the rushing water was like thunder in the sky, ringing in my ears non-stop.
As he was approaching Shimen Gorge, Ling Tianyun's eyes flashed with shock. He looked at the towering natural stone gate. The Yellow River passed through this stone gate, stirring up thousands of emotions on the rock walls on both sides of the river.
There are layers of waves. The cliffs on both sides of the Yellow River are thousands of meters high, and they are as powerful as knives and axes. Looking up, the sky is like an inch. The water is rushing and roaring down, and the roaring sound is endless. It is a thrilling section of the river.
But at this time, the passenger ship was like a small leaf swaying in the wind and waves. If it were not careful, it would hit the cliffs on both sides of the river bank. The passenger ship, which was initially flat and stable, began to shake violently, and the cabin
The guests inside also let out bursts of exclamations, including excited calls and frightened screams.
Bang, with a slight dull sound, the passenger ship hit a reef in the river, and the ship's hull couldn't help but shake violently. The feet of Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin were like octopuses, sucking tightly in here.
On the deck, Zhao Kuangyin was okay. He had experienced the thrill of Shimen Gorge without any impact.
But Ling Tianyun was different. He didn't expect that his weight-like body was standing firmly on the deck, and there was no impact at first. However, unexpectedly, the moment the ship hit the reef, his body shape followed that.
The rocking of the boat also tilted violently. His body tilted towards the bad monk who was sitting as firmly as a mountain. When the boat stabilized his body, Ling Tianyun due to inertia, his body was tilted towards the bad monk.
He fell over. Zhao Kuangyin was not aware of it for a moment and wanted to reach out to grab Ling Tianyun, but missed.
But the fat monk, who was meditating as steadily as a mountain, had a flash of light in his eyes. He was like a bouncing ball, but his fat body was extremely agile. He stretched out his fat hand to Ling Tianyun.
Go, but his hands did not grab Ling Tianyun's hand, but turned into sharp claws and grabbed Ling Tianyun's shoulders fiercely.
When Ling Tianyun saw it, he immediately secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. The evil monk really had no good intentions for him, but his body was unable to avoid the opponent's claws that were grabbing hard due to inertia. He looked at the fat monk helplessly.
A proud smile appeared on his face, and his hands as sharp as eagle claws were glowing with a faint cold light, which was a bit more ferocious than the roaring water of the Yellow River, making Ling Tianyun's heart tighten.
