Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

The cicadas are noisy, the forest is quiet, the birds are singing, and the mountains are secluded.

From Cangshan Mountain came the sound of "seizing, seizing, seizing", sometimes fast and sometimes slow. I saw an old woodcutter wearing a bamboo hat and holding an iron axe, chopping firewood.After a while, the woodcutter took off his bamboo hat and looked at the full load of firewood. Seeing the people returning to the village, Sha Xing crossed the head to rest. The trees in the sky are like shepherds, and the riverside islands are like the moon..."

He had just sung a few lines when there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, but after a while, he saw a man and a horse running along the road. He was a man in his twenties, with bushy eyebrows, big eyes, and a serious face; his horses were fast, his body was long and his legs were tall, and he was all over his body. The red hair, the extraordinary horse, galloped away from the woodcutter in an instant.

"...Why bring wine and get drunk on the Double Ninth Festival." After singing, the woodcutter put down his burden and rested by an elm tree.

The man on horseback heard his singing, and murmured to himself: "Why should you carry wine and get drunk with the Chongyang Festival? Why should you carry wine and get drunk with the Chongyang Festival..." He sighed, strangled his hand, and ran back to the woodcutter , got off the horse and said, "Old man, let me carry the firewood for you."

It was really strange for the woodcutter to see him go back and forth, but he heard that the young man had no malice, and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, the old man is used to going up and down the Cangshan Mountain every day!" The man seemed not to know how to respond. It took a while to react: "Ah? Have you reached Diancang Mountain?"

The woodcutter pointed to the path: "You just came down from the mountain, don't you know?"

"I...I..." The man was slightly embarrassed, "To be honest, I came to Dali this time to find my brother, but Dali is full of vegetation, I walked around here for a few days in a daze, but I couldn't find my way. "

The woodcutter looked at his words and saw that he was travel-laden and his accent was not like that of a native of Dali, so he asked, "Where is the young man going?"

The other party replied: "Tianlong Temple."

"Ah! That's a coincidence, Tianlong Temple is only half a mile away from the old man's house, so I'll take you there."

The man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and without a word mentioned the load of firewood, and put it on his shoulder: "Thank you very much, old man!" The woodcutter was secretly surprised when he saw that he carried the firewood with one hand without any effort, and the load of firewood was at least fifty. Even ordinary people have to work hard no matter what, but the young man seems to be pulling a feather.

The two talked while walking, exchanging names.

It turned out that this young man was Guo Jing. After the battle of Chongyang Palace, he returned to Peach Blossom Island with Huang Rong, Ke Zhen'e, and Huang Yaoshi. The marriage was the most important thing.Because Peach Blossom Island is a sea island, many wedding purchases have to be transported back and forth, wedding dresses are also being produced, and everything is in place, at least two months later.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were not in a hurry, they distributed wedding invitations to their friends everywhere, even Master Yideng did not miss them.The two went to deliver the post, and accidentally learned from Yidengkou that Xie Yao had approached him for a way to save his life. Guo Jing was overjoyed, but he didn't know whether Xie Yao was cured, so he came to Tianlong Temple to see for himself.Huang Rong didn't want to part with him at the beginning, but Ke Zhen'e kept saying things like, what a sweaty horse travels so fast, why the two of you will never be separated forever, what a small farewell is better than a newlywed, it made Huang Rong giggle, so he agreed Guo Jing went to Dali.

"Hey, young man, you don't know that Tianlong Temple is the national temple of our country. Our Dali country lives and works in peace and contentment, all relying on it to protect one side."

Guo Jing thought to himself: after all, temples are just temples, and if there is a war, they may be overwhelmed.He was honest, he said whatever came to his mind, and as soon as the words fell, Old Man Tan retorted: "Naturally, it is the same in ordinary temples, but the martial arts masters of Tianlong Temple do not need to be inferior to Shaolin. It can be said that Dali is the number one." He never mentioned Master Benxuan because Benxuan has been in seclusion all year round and is unknown to outsiders.

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Tan, have you seen all these masters?"

"I... Did I lie to you, little brat?" He blushed, thinking that he had just heard what the novice of Tianlong Temple had said, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll tell you a strange thing. A month ago, there was a loud noise in the middle of the night at Tianlong Temple. I asked my wife to take a look. The flames in Tianlong Temple were soaring into the sky, the smoke was vast, and the lightning flashed and thundered, and the rain poured down. In the early morning of the next day, someone went to Tianlong Temple to meet with Faxuan. Only then did I realize that the Nirvana Furnace, which was three feet high in front of the main hall, had disappeared without a trace."

Guo Jing thought about the height of [-] zhang, that is really a huge stove, even the huge tripod in front of Chongyang Palace, I'm afraid it can't compare with it.Curious, he asked, "Could it be stolen overnight? But who can carry such a giant?"

Old Uncle Tan shook his head: "That's why it's so strange. The Nirvana Furnace has cremated countless eminent monks and masters over the past few hundred years, and has produced countless relics. Now it has been stolen. I don't know what the idea is."

The two walked around and talked, and when they reached the gate of Tianlong Temple, Guo Jing bid farewell to old man Tan, led the little red horse, and went up the steps.

He knocked on the door lightly, but after a while no one came to welcome him, Guo Jing felt strange and knocked a little harder, but he stood there for a long time, but still no one answered.He pondered for a while, then raised his voice and said: "I'm Guo Jing, come to Tianlong Temple to look for friends, is there anyone?"

Standing at the door for a long time, seeing the sky was getting dark, Guo Jing couldn't help it, so he left the little red horse at the door, then went under the high wall, breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped into the temple.He originally thought that the temple was empty, but after a while, he saw two or three novice monks coming from the corridor on the east side. When those novice monks saw Guo Jing, they immediately exclaimed: "We sent people here again!"

Guo Jing didn't know what to do, when he was wondering, he saw a long-bearded monk in cassock coming towards him, he didn't say a word, he bent his palms and ten fingers, and made two sounds of "Pu Pu", unexpectedly there was sword energy coming from it.When Guo Jing was in Chongyang Palace, he saw Xie Yao use this trick, he was prepared, he turned sideways to avoid the danger behind Guo Jing, he was not afraid in his heart, but he was secretly angry, thinking that he had come all the way here to seek justice Brother, it's fine if you don't open the door for some reason, why are there random killers for no reason?

At this moment, another seven or eight monks came to grab him with sticks, looking at him as if they regarded him as a slut and a villain.An old monk stood on the right side, he didn't move, but said: "You are really stubborn, even if there are strange people in Tianlong Temple in Dali, I will never entrust the staff under the Mongolian tent!"

"Master! Wait a moment..." Before he finished speaking, another invisible sword energy appeared. Guo Jing leaped sideways, flew out with his right foot, and reached forward with his left hand, kicking a monk a somersault. The faces of several other monks.

The old monk on the right paused his Zen stick, and said to Guo Jing in a rather subtle way: "Benefactor, you have all the skills, and you know that it will not benefit you to be a tiger's pawn, so give up quickly."

The more Guo Jing listened, the more surprised he was, but his hands kept on, he clasped his palms, and snatched seven or eight long sticks. He swung his left hand out, and with a click, the bundle of sticks was cut into two pieces. .

The long-bearded monk was Master Benxuan, he was startled by Guo Jing's hand, he calmed down, pushed out his thumb, and used the "Shaoshang Sword Technique".This way of swordsmanship is wide open and closed, magnificent in style, every time a sword is thrust out, there is a force of earth-shattering, wind and rain, more than ten swords are used, Guo Jing is already sweating on his forehead, and he can't stop backing away, he secretly thought Jianghu is really a capable person Come out in large numbers, I didn't expect there to be such a master in Tianlong Temple, so he put away his joking thoughts, and made a move of "seeing the dragon in the field" with his left palm, and a move of "Kanglong has regrets" with his right hand. Master Gong Benxuan.

Benxuan was even more shocked when he saw this kung fu for the first time: "Good boy! What is the name of this kung fu?"

Although Guo Jing was fighting, he respected him as an elder and told him everything about "mutual skill between left and right". Seeing that his words were sincere, honest and kind, Benxuan was surprised and said: "Mongolia has your level of proficiency." People of martial arts, why are you pestering me at Tianlong Temple?"

"Ah? What Mongolia? I'm here to find Xie Yao!"

Master Benxuan and the old monk on the right exclaimed at the same time, the person on the right rushed over and said hurriedly: "Let's go! Do you want to make another mess?" Both Guo Jing and Benxuan's martial arts can operate freely, how could they not know There was a misunderstanding, and before the monk approached, the two of them each took two steps back.

"Almsgiver, who do you think you are looking for?" The old monk holding the Zen stick was undoubtedly Fa Xuan.

Guo Jing immediately told how he learned from Master Yideng that his adopted brother was here, and how he trekked in order to meet him, and took out the wedding invitation he had prepared, saying: "I'll come and see if he's all right, and by the way, invite him Come to Peach Blossom Island to attend my wedding with Ronger, Master also misses him very much."

"I see."

Guo Jing smiled and asked: "But I don't know why the master fought me when he saw me?"

Benxuan and Faxuan looked at each other, they both knew they had misunderstood the person, since he recognized Master Yideng and Xie Yao, they were also friends, so he led him into the meditation room and made tea to tell them.

"A few days ago, a few masters from the Jianghu came to hand over their name cards, trying in vain to let the three best martial artists in my temple go to Mongolia to serve them." Faxuan paused, "Not to mention that Mongolia has expanded its territory in recent years. Killing people is like hemp, which is despised by Buddhism; just because he sends envoys to damage our national prestige in Dali, this matter is not allowed. After I declined, I thought they would let it go, but unexpectedly they often came to attack in the middle of the night, or kidnapped monks, or Burning down houses is really abhorrent. Fortunately, my senior brother is very skilled in martial arts, and he took off the arms of these people the night before, so there is peace."

At this point, Guo Jing suddenly understood, he smiled slightly: "That's really abominable, I think they won't dare to come again after suffering from Master Wangxuan." Think of it as "Master Wangxuan" in the mouth of Old Man Tan.

Faxuan's expression froze, he pointed at Benxuan and said, "Master Wangxuan? No, no, this is my senior brother, Master Benxuan."

Guo Jing said "ah" and apologized again and again, but Ben Xuan didn't care, and said with a faint smile: "If the old man really forgets Xuanwu Kung Fu, and immediately climbs to the bliss, then he will be happy." Fa Xuan glanced at him, sighed, But I stopped talking.

"After talking for so long, I would like to ask the two masters, where is my righteous brother?"

Benxuan said: "To be honest, my younger brother is dead."

Guo Jing stood up abruptly, knocked down the teacup on the table, he stood in a daze for a moment, then forced a laugh and said: "Could it be that my brother Yao also escaped into Buddhism and died in the secular world?" It was the first time he asked to see Master Yideng , called by the name of Emperor Duan, Zhu Ziliu replied that Emperor Duan was dead, and this "death" may not be the real "death", but another Buddhist view of people in the world.

Master Faxuan laughed: "You are Wangxuan's elder brother, you are really as intelligent as him, you can understand everything at once."

"No, no, I'm a fool, and I can't compare to brother Yao... Well, wait, Wang Xuan?" Guo Jing was surprised, he realized, and said in a daze: "So brother Yao has become a monk?"

The Dharma name of Tianlong Temple is ranked in order, and it is passed down to Zen Master Yixuan.These two masters are both of the "Xuan" generation, and Xie Yao's dharma name is "Wang Xuan", so his status is naturally not low.Although it is regrettable to become a monk, Guo Jing is extremely happy when he thinks that Xie Yao is not dead.

Faxuan said: "Well, he has been a monk for a long time."

Guo Jing couldn't figure it out at all, Xie Yao was always a very happy child in his eyes when he was a child, and he gradually calmed down when he was a teenager, but he would never escape into Buddhism and throw away his three thousand hairs.Guo Jing was not stupid, his heart sank, he guessed that Xie Yao was overwhelmed by something important, and was about to ask, Master Benxuan pointed out the window and said, "Have you ever seen the Nirvana Furnace in Tianlong Temple?"

Guo Jing looked in the direction of his finger, the front of the hall was empty, where was there any huge furnace?

"I heard people say that this Nirvana furnace was stolen."

Ben Xuan shook his head, and sighed: "What stole... It was destroyed by your brother-in-law." Fa Xuan also said sadly: "That's right, the Nirvana furnace that has been around for hundreds of years was destroyed overnight. "

Rao Guo Jing was prepared long ago, but he didn't expect such a result. He hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Benxuan said: "In fact, there is no blame for Wangxuan. He learned the principle from the Nirvana Furnace, and he knew that if the Nirvana Furnace wants to be Mahayana, two people must enter together, and life and death are the same. Fate, if there is no difference between murderers?', in a rage, smashed the Nirvana Furnace with one palm, and destroyed it."

Guo Jing was startled, thinking he heard it wrong: "How many palms?"

Fa Xuan said resolutely: "One palm." When he thought of the Nirvana Furnace, his heart ached and he sighed.

Benxuan glanced at him, but said: "The old man also felt that Wangxuan's words are not bad, Nirvana Furnace throughout the ages, but he survived for 49 days, but it was only with the life of his beloved wife, it's not as good as it is."

Guo Jing, however, was terrified when he heard that, the last time he and Xie Yao parted was on Zhongnan Mountain, and it was assumed that the fairy-like woman must be Xie Yao's confidante, never thought... Faxuan returned the wedding invitation to him, Said: "Don't say that Wangxuan is not in the temple at the moment, even if he is, he will not participate in your marriage."

Guo Jing wanted to ask why, but when he saw Faxuan's eyes, he understood instantly.Xie Yao lost his beloved wife, but he and Rong'er were happily married. Seeing things and thinking about others, he would feel sad, so it's better not to mention it.He sighed deeply, feeling pity for his righteous brother's ups and downs in his life, but also secretly rejoicing that he and Huang Rong made it to this day.

"Brother Yao is not in the temple?"

The two masters shook their heads: "He left a letter half a month ago, took away the horse from the stable, and left long ago." Faxuan snorted, "If Wangxuan is here, how would those youngsters dare to come and play wild in the temple."

Guo Jing continued to ask: "Then...then where did he go?"

Benxuan sighed: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and we have traveled all over the world. I can't predict it."

After Guo Jing left Dali, he searched for several places aimlessly. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, he had to return to Peach Blossom Island.For a long time after that, there was no news from Xie Yao
