I am Dugufeng in the Tang Dynasty

The name of the temple is cool, but it is not clean. [This chapter is updated by netizens] Although it is evening, there are still many pilgrims coming to offer incense in the temples on the mountain. Recite devoutly before the mountain gate.Looking at the devout faces of these believers, Xu Ziling remained silent.Although Buddhism is a foreign religion, it is indeed far better than Taoism in terms of gathering believers by adapting to local conditions and opening up convenient doors.

Xu Ziling thought of Qihui's thoughts about the vastness of Taoism that he had always been obsessed with, and seeing the scene of the Buddhist temple in front of him, he gradually became thoughtful.Buddhism is in its heyday, although there are many Buddhist talents and eminent monks and great virtues, but more importantly, the Buddhist monks practice their own actions to protect the safety of one side. Even Xu Ziling, who often receives Qihui's anti-Buddhist education, has to admit that in this world In the Luan world, the place of refuge of the Buddhists is indeed a rare pure land.In contrast, Taoist priests focus on personal cultivation and only take the upper-level route, which is really a bit out of touch with the common people.Comparing the hatchback, it's no wonder that Buddhism has been flourishing for hundreds of years. Not only has it gradually transformed from a foreign nonsense to the Chinese righteous way, but now it has a tendency to overwhelm the local Taoists.

Qingliang Temple is built on the mountain. It is said that it is a mountain, but it is not tall. It is just a small hill. Entering from the mountain gate, there are three halls in the front, middle and back. After passing through the three halls, you can see a path paved with bluestones along the mountain. Go up to the Bell and Drum Tower on the top of the mountain.

The monks in the temple were not surprised when they saw a group of fleeing people coming, so a monk stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, you are so kind. Is there any wounded among you? If so, please come inside quickly."

"Thank you, master." The patriarch hurriedly stepped forward, full of praise, and then explained the situation.

There were also people in this village who became monks in this monastery. After a while, another middle-aged monk appeared inside. The patriarch hurried forward and explained the matter one by one.

"Thank you, benefactor Xu, for saving my village. The benefactor is chivalrous and has immeasurable merit." The middle-aged monk was also surprised when he heard the patriarch's introduction, but when he heard that Xu Ziling had saved the whole village, he hurried over to thank him.

Xu Ziling said politely: "It's just a matter of raising your hand, Master, you don't have to be polite." Then he looked at the sky, and said: "I promised the village chief to escort me all the way, and now I have arrived at your temple, so I will take my leave."

The monk hurriedly persuaded him to stay and said: "The benefactor has worked hard. Now that the sex is over for today, why should the benefactor be in a hurry, why not just rest in the monastery." When the patriarch heard that Xu Ziling was leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to stay.

Xu Ziling's nature is indifferent and undisputed. Although he has received a lot of anti-Buddhist education from Dugufeng and Qihui, he doesn't have much rejection of Buddhism.What's more, he has Fu Junzhuo by his side, so it's not convenient to stay overnight in the temple, so he said bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, master, but I have a female companion by my side, so it's inconvenient to stay overnight in your temple."

Only then did the monk notice Fu Junzhuo. Fu Junzhuo was dressed in a white shirt and held a sword in his hand. He was standing on top of a bluestone from a distance, looking at the monastery coldly.The monk came out in a hurry, didn't notice it for a while, and said quickly: "It's okay, there are often pilgrims coming and going from long distances in this temple, so there are always several houses at the foot of the mountain. The benefactor has worked hard all the way, so you can rest in the guest room at the foot of the mountain with your noble companion."

Hearing Xu Ziling's intention to leave, the patriarch rushed to persuade him to stay.Xu Ziling saw that he didn't need to stay in the monastery, and Fu Junzhuo was seriously injured, so it was inconvenient to stay in the mountains, and seeing how courteous these people were to stay, he thought about it and agreed to stay.

After dinner, Fu Junzhuo kept his door closed as usual, entered into meditation and practiced the Jiuxuan Da&fa, and worked hard to restore his skills as soon as possible.After delaying the warm greeting from the villagers, Xu Ziling also went back to his room to rest.His temperament was quite calm at first, but after two years of studying Taoism in the mountains, he became more and more out of the world. He has a strong rejection and resistance to the chaos and killings in the world, and he also has a life of wandering in the mountains and forests and focusing on mountains and rivers. Yearning more and more.He is not like Kou Zhong, who has outstanding desires, and has no special nostalgia for the love between men and women. Whether it is Shan Wanjing or Shen Luoyan, they have all expressed their love to him tactfully, but for them, although he is grateful Ji and their favor, but there is not much feeling in the heart.He is a Taoist by nature, and he prefers a free and unrestrained life. Although he went to Dongming School to discuss business under the order of his master this time, he is smart and has already vaguely guessed the master's intentions, so he decided to go to the Dongming School. He was not in a hurry to rush to the Dongming faction, and even delayed his trip because of treating Fu Junzhuo.

Speaking of Fu Junzhuo, for some reason, Xu Ziling had a very strange feeling towards this strong and indifferent Korean girl. Although Fu Junzhuo's attitude towards him was indifferent, he faintly sensed that she had a soft heart under her indifferent appearance. mind.Under Fu Junzhuo's cold and stern appearance, there is a softness that people can't help caring for. This special temperament faintly attracts Xu Ziling.He didn't know if it was the friendship between a man and a woman, but it was a feeling that neither Shan Wanjing nor Shen Luoyan had brought to him, so he couldn't help but want to explore and experience it.

However, Xu Ziling had a clear heart after all, these thoughts just circled in his mind slightly, and then he threw them out and put them aside.For him, the only pursuit in this life has been determined, and that is to explore the supreme way of heaven, pursue the most fundamental meaning of life, and appreciate the infinite mystery of the natural creation of the universe.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling suddenly felt relieved, like pulling out a deep foot from the mud, returning to his usual chic and open-mindedness, and his mind was active again.He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, continuing to practice the formula of longevity.His fortune was miraculous. First, under the guidance of his master Dugufeng, he practiced the highest Taoist book "The Secret of Longevity", which no one can practice through the ages. Later, he was instructed by Sun Simiao, the world's king of medicine, to combine the secret of longevity with medical skills. Explain the mystery of longevity formula from another angle. Qi therapy is not only an unprecedented treatment method in medicine, but also a unique way of practice. Healing people is not only practice, but also the deeper the understanding of the human body , the deeper he comprehends the "Longevity Formula", a treasure book that develops the potential of the human body and contains the supreme mystery of the metamorphosis of heaven and man. He has studied qi therapy skillfully, and in just three or four years, his gong power has improved rapidly. In terms of the depth of zhen qi alone, he has not lost to those masters who have been famous for decades.

Speaking of which, although he was taught the supreme sword technique "Heart Sword God Jue" by Dugufeng, the "Heart Sword God Jue" that was born out of love and indulged in me is not at all to Xu Ziling's appetite, on the contrary it is an immature "Tai Chi" concept It deeply moved him, and now it has become the foundation of his martial arts.

Taiji bears yin while embracing yang, and the qi is harmonious, which explains the process of the universe from the infinite to Taiji, and even the transformation of all things.It contains the profound meaning of Taoism's supreme way. Although what Dugufeng taught him is only a simple martial arts concept, it contains endless potential for development.Over the years, under the teaching of his master Zhang Guo, he has read all the martial arts of Lou Guan Dao. Zhang Guo regards him as the successor of the mantle, and even some of the secrets of Lou Guan Dao, the unique skills that even Dugu Feng can't understand They were all taught to him, and he even integrated these martial arts to form his own martial arts system, and he has embarked on a path to find his own martial arts.However, after all, his system has just been established, there are still many omissions, and there are still many places to think about.

While thinking, Xu Ziling unconsciously put his two palms flat, one with a slightly empty palm facing the sky, and the index finger and thumb of the other hand clasped open, like pinching beads.

All thoughts are one.

In the midst of emptiness and trance, the separation between inside and outside completely collapsed. In the emptiness and tranquility, the energy channels in the body vibrated loudly. Longevity formula, Qi therapy technique and Xiantian formula were fused into one through different nine-character mantra handprints. , Man and nature are one.

Xu Ziling woke up suddenly.

Waking up is not an appropriate description, because he has not fallen asleep.It is indescribable, the mental state that comes from practicing "Longevity Jue" Qigong is different from ordinary sleep, the whole body is comfortable, you can see movement in stillness, time seems to stop passing completely.

The reason why he "woke up" was because of the sound of a door being pushed outside the door.

It was Fu Junzhuo who lived next door. At this time, everything was silent, and the small courtyard was empty and quiet. In Xu Ziling's spiritual sense of emptiness and tranquility, no one else existed.And Fu Junzhuo pushed the door out, walked through the small courtyard, did not stay, but walked towards the direction of the Zen courtyard.

All kinds of questions flashed through Xu Ziling's clear and clear mind at lightning speed.

Open your eyes slightly.

Xu Ziling pondered for a moment, then stood up and pushed the door out.Although he knew that Fu Junzhuo probably had something to avoid him when he went out at this time, but Fu Junzhuo was seriously injured now and had no hands-on ability.So after thinking for a while, he decided to follow, just to avoid Fu Junzhuo's embarrassment, he decided to just follow from a distance with his spiritual sense, not close.

At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, illuminating the courtyard bright white, Xu Ziling stepped out of the moon, and disappeared into the vast moonlight like a wisp of blue smoke.

At this time, the night is dark and the Zen courtyard is silent. Looking up, the Qingliang Temple built against the mountain, under the clear night of stars and moon, the main hall is elevated layer by layer, full of static beauty with rich layers, as picturesque as a dream, with a A different kind of Zen meaning.

Fu Junzhuo walked to the gate of the temple, with a sneer on his cold face, the gate was half open at this time, and through the half open gate, an empty square could be seen.Fu Junzhuo paused for a moment, then walked in.

Xu Ziling followed Fu Junzhuo from a distance, heading towards the backyard.

Half of the monks were not seen along the way, and the whole temple was deep and quiet, as if in a deep sleep.After passing the three resplendent and resplendent halls, turn left and enter a stone path lined with bamboo trees and full of antiquity.

Fu Junzhuo climbed up the steps along the path. The stone path winds and stretches among the bamboo forests, and the winding path leads to seclusion. In the silent moonlight, it is particularly fascinating.After turning a corner, the entire space expands to infinity. It turns out that the end of the road is the edge of a cliff. Not only can you look up at the stars, rivers and moon, but you can also overlook the mountains and fields near and far.

In this picturesque scenery, a peerless fairy in men's attire dressed in Confucianism is standing gracefully on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the endless stretch of land below the cliff leisurely and fascinated.
