"The old forest is lost in the fog, the sword sea is lost in the moon, the boat and the deer are gone."
"Those who use swords are crazy and don't know what the sword says."
"One sword strikes the eye for six hundred years."
"The truth is right, it turns out it's right in front of you!"
The bright light in the eyes of the Master of Wanxiang Sword is like a sea of clouds suddenly shrinking, instantly condensing into the shape of a sword, reflected in the pupils. At first glance, there is only a vertical ray of light, but if you look closely, you can see the divine edge.
He took a slight step forward before sitting down - the person sitting in front of him was Bao Xuanjing, who was looking at him with a kind of innocent surprise - there was a large gap between the front seat and the back seat.
The sword master walked up to Bao Xuanjing in one step and completed the perfect climb to the top.
In the Celestial Palace of Chao Wen Dao, which was packed with seekers, they witnessed a real man who had wielded a sword for many years and reached the pinnacle of success.
You really hear the truth!
The Wanxiang Sword Master guards the Heaven and Earth Sword Box and has a history of more than 600 years.
It has been more than three hundred years since he gained the reputation of being "invincible within ten steps of a sword wielder".
Even before he guarded the Heaven and Earth Sword Box, he was already known as the "Sword Crazy", and was once called the same as Qin Changsheng, who was pursuing his age with a sword.
But Qin Changsheng, a swordsman who is crazy about swords, has long been a true king. In the past few years, he has been in charge of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and has repeatedly fought against the heavenly demons without falling behind.
But he sat in the Heaven and Earth Sword Box and never came out again, and there was little news from him.
Gradually no one compares "sword crazy" and "sword crazy".
He has long since cultivated to the realm of "the ten thousand aspects of my true self", and has mastered infinite sword skills in the Heaven and Earth Sword Box.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most profound swordsman in the world.
It can even be said that he himself is the world's swordsman.
At least at the level of a real person, no one knows as much swordsmanship as he does.
Jiang Wang held the Yanfu Sword Prison in his hand and practiced swordsmanship non-stop in a complete small world. The number of swordsmanship he mastered was not as good as Wanxiang Sword Master Wanyi.
There is no doubt about his strength, but he is still one step away from reaching the top.
I am getting stronger and stronger, but I don’t know how to take that heavy step anymore.
He is extremely obsessed with swords. He has had a dream for six hundred years, and gradually he does not know "sword" and "me", and who is "me". Swordsmanship has become a barrier, just like "me" cannot be found in the deep mountains and old forests. The stronger the swordsmanship becomes
, the more difficult it is to overcome the previous obstacles.
Jiang Wang, who became enlightened with his "true self", was the best person for him to seek enlightenment.
The Six Paths of Dharma have been refined, and the flood of all realms has not touched me, so he calls Jiang Wang "my lord".
In his opinion, this young true king who once painstakingly sought a sword in the world's sword box is the one who can truly cut his own way in the forest of ignorance.
Logically speaking, apart from the master of the pavilion, Si Yu'an, he would not be able to ask such a top-notch question to anyone in Yandao. Even if Jiang Wang had some kind of fate with Jiang Wang, it would not be enough for him to seek the truth——
This is exactly the meaning of Chaowen Daotian Palace.
Sometimes there is just a layer of window paper, but you can't see clearly unless you break it.
The Wanxiang Sword Master's beard and hair are hanging down one by one. It used to be a mess now, but it used to be messy and disorderly, but now it is like traces of Dao. It is different when you see it.
A crowd of seekers watched him climb to the top, but he was not the only one who jumped up at the same time?
Those who come to hear the Tao and preach in the Heavenly Palace are also those who seek the Tao!
The reason why the indifferent and ruthless appearance of heaven and man also shows compassion is the proof of his appearance. This is because before Jiang Wang enlightened the Master of Wanxiang Sword with the Three Treasures of "Swordsman, Sword Technique, and Sword", he also obtained the "Three Treasures"
Feedback from Tathagata Sutra——
In the past, he was sitting in the Canghai Sea of Heavenly Dao, chanting the "Three Jewels Tathagata Sutra", holding the True King in his palm, and preaching the Dharma to all realms. He was the helper of the Three Jewels Tathagata.
Now the pure body has formed thirty-two Dharma bodies, achieving the status of a great Bodhisattva, and his appearances of living beings have also soared into the sky, establishing the Dharma body!
Therefore, all aspects show compassion.
The Wanxiang Sword Master was not enlightened by Jiang Wang alone, but with the help of him and Jingli, he was able to clear the clouds and see the future.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!" Once the Wanxiang Sword Master gained enlightenment, his sword eyes were no longer as bright as before, and his whole person seemed much more ordinary and normal. He got rid of his infatuation, returned to the world, and even remembered the courtesy and thanks.
Throughout the ages, swords in the world have been likened to a straw to carry the stars. With two true kings like this in the sword pavilion, it seems that the title of sword master will last for a long time.
Jiang Wang left the table to avoid the ceremony, and only said: "Drawing out the sword to break the moon, using the extremely powerful sharp edge. The mountain is built up from the soil, and it is not my fault. It is the years that have paid off, and the sword master has become his own."
"If there is any enlightenment, it belongs to the Tathagata and not to me." He clasped his palms together and chanted in a low voice: "Namo...Three Jewels Tathagata!"
Wanxiang Sword Master didn't have to worry about his enlightenment. When he first entered the Heaven and Earth Sword Box to practice swordsmanship, Wanxiang Sword Master also gave him enough patience.
But the Wanxiang Sword Master should remember the help of the "Three Jewels Tathagata Sutra".
If there is a chance to perform the Purification Ceremony in the future, in order to achieve the true Three Jewels Tathagata Buddha, the Master of the Ten Thousand Appearance Swords should repay today's cause and effect.
Jingli may not care at all, but he cares for Jingli.
…
…
It is said that when the World Honored One became enlightened, people from all over the world came to congratulate him, and gods and ghosts sang joyfully.
The World Honored One has no one who blocks his way, and all heavens and all realms are in love with each other.
Those who know his name praise his name, and those who praise his name help him achieve enlightenment.
There is a young monk in Sanbao Mountain, formerly named Jingli, now named Fanshijue, and another named Wang Wei.
The master he loved most died. He began to be a little wary of the world.
He doesn't have many friends.
He only has one relative left.
He sought a home in the empty door, but in the end he was trying to find a moon in the water but in vain.
Sanbao Mountain is just a small dirt bag and Sanbao Temple is a shabby house. The knowledge, experience and wisdom of Kujue are scattered like flying dust with nowhere to contain them.
He is not a brave man, but he has to face pain. He is not a wealthy man, but he keeps losing.
There were not many people who helped him become enlightened.
But he has a very, very, very powerful younger brother.
The youngest true king in history led the heavenly sea to suppress the Yangtze River last year, and today he is preaching in the Heavenly Palace of Heavenly Wen Dao. When he was enlightening the heavens, he propagated the Dharma for this clumsy brother and preached the "Three Jewels Tathagata Sutra" to all worlds!
Jingli’s great Bodhi vow is for my little junior brother to become enlightened.
My junior brother is very powerful and very hard at the same time.
He also decided early on that he would become a very powerful person.
It doesn’t have to be a Bodhisattva or a Buddha, but it must be powerful.
Because he is a senior brother, he should especially bear the responsibility of protecting his junior brother after his master's death.
Of course, Xiong Zidu, whom he knew in prison, also gave him a push.
Xiong Zidu said that inmates can also be considered friends.
Xiong Zidu also said that friends are friends, and accounts must be settled clearly. They help each other, and no one can owe the other.
Eat fast, chant the Buddha's name, and ring the bell as a monk. This has always been the principle.
He agreed to work as a national teacher.
It comes from the promotion of national power, and the status is not considered perfect.
If you can't regain your strength, your golden body will retreat in the future.
Not everyone can "enjoy the importance of the country", but he is already close at hand.
Many practitioners who are confident in themselves will not rely on the power of the country. Even if they are in high positions, they will let go of the power of the country to help them and go on alone.
In the affairs of the world, if you take something, you must give something back. If you consume the country's power and reach the top, you must give back to the country's power. The country's power you take away now must be returned to more when you leave, otherwise you will not be able to return with great power, and you will have to use it.
Use your own strength to fill the gap - this is the key reason why most official monks abdicate and fall into decline.
But for him, who was "born with the Tao", the sooner he reaches the peak, the sooner he can complete the "Three Jewels Tathagata Sutra".
He has become more and more aware.
Some things are too different if they are one step earlier or one step later.
It's a pity that I understood it too late.
"Young monk! Ah, no, now it's time to call me the Master of the State!" Xiong Zidu shouted: "You sirs gathered in the Huangji Hall to discuss court affairs. We have just been released from prison, and we don't know how difficult the world is, but...
Don't speak rashly. Let's take a walk around first, and then think about how safe the country is - let's go, follow this prince, to visit the lonely Tai'an Palace."
The Brahma Master swallowed up all the Buddha's light into his eyes, converged on the thirty-two characteristics, and instantly looked like an ordinary person again.
Perhaps it is precisely because of being ordinary that all kinds of possibilities are possible - when Xiong Zidu designed this face, this was the "design concept" expressed in this way.
Fanshijue didn't care what he looked like. He only cared that his position as Grand Master of Chu could help him accomplish what he wanted to do.
When he heard Xiong Zidu shouting like this, he said "Oh", then turned around and followed Xiong Zidu out. He looked a little stupid, as if he didn't even remember who gave him the title of Imperial Master. He only remembered who gave him the title of National Preceptor.
He wants the seal.
??????55.??????
In almost any country, this is a dangerous statement that needs to be nipped in the bud.
The military and political power seized control of him, but the Emperor of Chu, who had never allowed anyone to covet him, did not say a word about it today.
"That's right!" The moment he walked out of the hall, Xiong Zidu turned back and shouted loudly with a smile across the hall door: "Ninth brother and I have a very close relationship. Father, son, how about taking him back to the palace to play?
"
Now he is no longer standing in the Huangji Palace, and can call him daddy again.
Xiong Yinggeng, the Ninth Prince of Dachu, was shocked at this moment! Then he realized that he knelt down with the prince, but forgot to stand up with the prince. At this time, he felt that his legs were weak.
What does the prince want to do?
Calculate the general ledger after autumn?
He looked at Lord Dan almost begging, hoping that his father would take care of it.
But all I heard was His Majesty Dan's voice: "Go."
Go for it!
There wasn’t even a meaningful warning, just “Go!”
Where did this partiality go?!
Xiong Yinggeng felt annoyed at this time——
Let's see what the prince can do to him!
One son was bullied to death by another son. Can the wise and mighty Emperor really have peace of mind?
"Prince, wait a minute!" He craned his neck and looked at Dan Majesty, but he still couldn't meet that gaze: "My brother, follow me right now!"
Then he stood up and strode out of the hall angrily.
I walked too fast and almost tripped at the entrance of the temple.
Xiong Zidu smiled and reached out to help him: "My ninth brother, what's wrong with you? It's better to let my brother help you."
"No need to bother!" Xiong Yinggeng threw his hand away violently!
Xiong Zidu retracted his hand without changing his smile: "Well, good brother, you can keep up."
As he spoke, he stepped over him and strode forward.
Master Fanjue looked at him curiously and followed Xiong Zidu away.
Xiong Yinggeng almost gritted his teeth and climbed up on his own, hanging far behind the two of them.
The majestic royal road in front of Huangji Palace is now the longest torture journey in the world.
Two men in prison uniforms walked in front, and a man in a Chinese robe followed behind. It was not known who was escorting whom.
In this way, we arrived in front of the carriage representing Tai'an Palace——
Eight Pegasus horses pull a luxurious chariot shaped like a flying horn. The carvings are handmade by masters, with large-scale paintings of flowers and birds.
Standard princely courtesy.
Father has prepared everything for him!
Xiong Yinggeng looked sad, his feet became heavier and his teeth clenched tighter.
The prince got on the carriage, turned around, smiled and stretched out his hand to pull: "Ninth brother, come here."
However, Xiong Yinggeng did not extend his hand and said firmly: "My brother dare not exceed the courtesy. Prince, please get in the car first."
"Good brother, you are always so particular!" Xiong Zidu laughed and got into the carriage by himself.
Xiong Yinggeng failed to climb up and almost fell down again.
This Prince's car looks huge from the outside, but once you get inside, you can't see the sky. It's like a moving palace!
Xiong Zidu casually found a seat and sat down, then opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of wine.
Of course Brahmacharya sat next to him.
"Have a drink?" Xiong Zidu asked.
Fan Shijue shook his head: "Monks don't drink."
Xiong Zidu smiled and said: "You are now the Great Master of Chu. You decide the rules for monks and couples."
Master Brahma said: "My master won't let me drink."
Xiong Zidu then said nothing.
Xiong Yinggeng entered the carriage and glanced at Xiong Zidu. Instead, he was not as respectful as outsiders. He had the attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water: "I am the one who said bad things about you in front of my father. I fabricated the idea of 'The Rabbit Hunter Lord of the East Palace'."
'I am the one who made the prophecy, and I have done many things - after all, what do you want to do to me?"
"Ninth brother, are you too worried!" Xiong Zidu smiled: "What you said is the truth, what will I do to you? I am not the Lord of the East Palace anymore? You are called foresight!"
"Don't play yin and yang with me, hide needles in cotton wool! I won't take this!" Xiong Yinggeng became more aggressive now: "Yes, I can't compete with you, you are great, I lost. I have nothing to say, that's all I do
There are hundreds of pounds of meat here. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, it’s up to you!"
Xiong Zidu smiled happily: "You are still the same as when you were a child. You have a tough mouth and a stubborn temper."
Let go of one thought and see everything away.
Xiong Yinggeng seemed more and more at ease, and found a seat to sit down. He squinted his eyes and said, "My good brother, if I win, I will judge you the same way."
Xiong Zidu looked at him and said leisurely: "An extraordinary monk, who is divinely enlightened and possesses countless secrets of the royal family, actually tripped over himself twice - Ninth Brother, don't you think it's strange?"
Xiong Yinggeng froze there.
It is not incomprehensible for an extraordinary monk with divine knowledge to stumble. Being sealed, suppressed and bound, there are too many possibilities.
But he was not surprised by this strange thing, which is indeed very strange!
Even...horrifying!
Xiong Zidu shook the jug, listened to the sound of wine, and said slowly: "You seem to have forgotten that you have power. You don't even know when I took it away. Your power is like your power.
Wealth and honor are all rootless. Ying Geng."
thump!
Xiong Yinggeng suddenly knelt on the ground, and was so frightened that tears burst out from his eyes: "Brother! Ying Geng knew he was wrong! Please forgive Ying Geng this time!"
Xiong Zidu unscrewed the wine seal and began to pour the wine slowly: "You should be punished if you do something wrong. How do you think I should punish you as a brother?"
Xiong Yinggeng knelt in front of Xiong Zidu and raised his head: "I will punish you as my brother says. If you want to kill or behead me, Ying Geng will never complain!"
"Then -" Xiong Zidu smiled and put down the wine bottle: "One drink as a penalty."
Xiong Yinggeng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the emperor had given up drinking a long time ago.
Only then did I realize that this glass of wine was poured for me!
He held the glass of wine in both hands and drank it all. He showed Xiong Zidu the bottom of the glass flatteringly: "Brother, look, you drank it all!"
"Ninth brother, you have a good drinker." Xiong Zidu smiled and patted his shoulder.
At this moment, Xiong Yinggeng felt that his power had returned.
Such a miraculous method, the extraordinary power that was lost and recovered... completely destroyed his defenses.
He threw away the wine glass, hugged Xiong Zidu's calf, and burst into tears. "Brother, my brother is confused!!!"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiong Zidu supported him, wiped away his tears carefully, and helped him sit next to him: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, please don't get angry with me."
This is a very disrespectful sentence - in the future when my brother sits in a big position, won't you brothers be allowed to help govern the world? How can I trust outsiders?"
"From now on, my brother, I will only obey the prince!" Xiong Yinggeng stopped crying, raised his hands and swore: "If you dare to be disloyal to the prince, I will order Ying Geng to be quartered on five horses, and you will not die a good death!"
Xiong Zidu held his hand: "I don't want you to die badly, I want you to live well. Ninth brother, our family and country are forever, how can we not have the surname Xiong? Among the several brothers and sisters, I have always been the most optimistic about you.
"
Xiong Yinggeng was full of ambition for a moment: "My brother, I must do my best to live up to the prince's trust!"
Xiong Zidu smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Ninth Brother, I heard that there is a cassock in Xinyang Bo's Mansion, which seems to be left by some Zen master Ku Xing...is it true or not?"
Xinyang Bo Wu Shoujing was Xiong Yinggeng's grandfather and the biological father of Concubine Wu in the palace.
"It seems there is one?" Xiong Yinggeng was not sure, but his attitude was very clear: "If it is useful to the emperor brother, I will get it immediately!"
Xiong Zidu smiled: "It's useless for you to keep this cassock. My brother has been studying Buddhism during this period, but he has some interest - if it is convenient, you can get it for me."
"Of course." He dusted off his clothes easily: "It's not a good thing for the royal family to be close to the Buddha. Ninth brother, don't learn from it."
"My brother knows!" Xiong Yinggeng nodded vigorously: "Before sunset, this cassock will be delivered to the crown prince's womb. I guarantee that no one will know about it. If the mother and concubine ask, my brother will say that he wants to use it!
"
"Good brother." Xiong Zidu smiled warmly: "Brother, my love for you is not in vain."
