Chapter 107: Humility is empty and the valley is empty, the peaks always enter the clouds (Part 2)

"Because of the master and apprenticeship, I can't do it?"

Director Gu: "One of the benefits I am working in this institution now is that I can use the power of the officials to investigate some personal privacy. He Chen and Zezhong are not only masters and apprentices, but also father and son. Zezhong is his biological son."

"What! Zezhong is Hechen's son? Then Hechen is a monk and Taoist priest."

Director Gu: "This matter is a long story. Listen to me and tell me slowly—"

Taoist priests are also human beings. More than 20 years ago, He Chen saved a woman in the world, and later had an affair and had a son Zezhong. No wonder He Chen had an idea of ​​Zi Yingyi twenty years ago. It turned out that he really had a good appearance. The woman unfortunately died early, so He Chen found a way to bring this son back to Zhengyi Sect and adopted him as a disciple. Among all the disciples, he loved Zezhong the most, and even spoiled him, and there was a reason for his lack of discipline.

After Zezhong died, He Chen was very sad, but due to the relationship between Zhengyimen and Shouzheng Zhenren, he could not come to seek revenge in person. The pain of losing his son made He Chen think of an extremely special solution. He went to Feijin Peak to find Qiye, an abandoned disciple of Zhongnan Sect, and passed on the mind and mantras of the last twelve cave realms of the thirty-six cave heavens in Zhengyimen. He Chen knew that Qiye had a grudge against me, and also knew that Qiye would not get guidance from a higher Taoist method after leaving Zhongnan. Qiye asked him why he did this, and he only answered two words - Shiye.

Qiye has the qualifications of heaven and man, and his qualifications and understanding are above the first-class level. His Taoism has long broken through the nine-turn golden elixir pointing to the Zhongnan School. He left Zhongnan and realized the truth alone. Although he could find another way, this exploration path was not easy after all. Feng Junzi once pointed out this point on Feijin Peak, and even proposed to accept him as his disciple, but Qiye did not agree. Now, He Chen made up for all the shortcomings of the alchemy that Qiye learned. This is like a tiger's wings for Qiye. It is easier to kill me in the future. And He Chen means that he has already hinted to Qiye.

He Chen did this very thing because he took the initiative to pass the alchemy to Qiye. Qiye did not violate the rules of Zhengyi Sect. As long as Qiye did not pass on the mantras and mental methods of the last twelve cave heavens to others, Zhengyi Sect had no reason to settle the accounts with him. If he wanted to punish, he could only punish He Chen. This was just like the case when the Zhongnan Sect could only force Qiye to kill Han Ziying, but the head of the Dengfeng Sect could not eliminate demons by himself.

He Chen knew that he had violated the rules of the sect, so he went back to the mountain to apologize to Shouzheng. Outsiders did not know what Shouzheng said to He Chen, but He Chen never left anyway. It is said that He Chen was voluntarily in seclusion, and what was closed was the change of color in the life and death barrier that practitioners talked about. The so-called life and death barrier is nothing more than two consequences after seclusion. One is that the destiny of heaven has been exhausted, and the other is that he has cultivated into the great way and has passed away. In short, once he is in seclusion, he will never leave the barrier for life, which is equivalent to the life imprisonment of ordinary people. He Chen entered the life and death barrier and ended all his life, but left a seven-leaf in the world, which is a great trouble for me Shi Ye.

Director Gu came today, just to tell me this matter and remind me to be careful. When he left, he said to me: "Shi Ye, even if I haven't come today, you will still be my subordinate Shi Tou, and I will still be your leader Director Gu. Do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you, thank you very much!"

The origin of Director Gu and the story of Chen and Qiye have touched me a lot, but it is not the question I care most about now. I am not the opponent of Qiye, and it doesn’t matter whether Qiye is more powerful. In fact, what I care more about is what Feng Junzi is looking for Shang Yunfei for and how did he pull out the Living Buddha? After I attended the birthday party that night, Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei had already left, but Han Ziying heard a conversation before they went out. Feng Junzi actually wanted to invite the Living Buddha to play chess on Zhaoting Mountain seven days later. Of course, Shang Yunfei was not good at making the decision for the Living Buddha, but just agreed to pass on this sentence.

I made up an idea and wanted to take a look at it secretly. I am familiar with the terrain of Zhaoting Mountain. I wear the spirit lock ring. As long as I am careful, I may not be discovered by them. I am really curious about what tricks Feng Junzi wants to play?

...

The place where Feng Junzi and Living Buddha play chess is in the empty valley of Zhaoting Mountain, which is where Hei Ruyi landed after fighting with Luxue last time. I thought I went there very early, but I was already late. As soon as the morning mist had dissipated, I saw the figures of the old, the young, the monk and the subdistrict sitting opposite each other in the distance. Feng Junzi was prepared for it, and I didn't know where to bring two short stools and a low-high chess case, and the chess board and chess box were all arranged.

I didn't dare to get too close. Although there were spiritual rings, the two were the best masters of the world. Standing far behind a bush of azaleas, I heard them talking-

Living Buddha: "The little donor has put so much effort into asking the old monk to play a chess game in the mountains. The mountain wind is clear and the old monk is happy to enjoy it, but the chess is not very good."

Feng Junzi: "My opponent is not very proficient in Talk, just pretending... Master Buddha, you are older, please keep your promise, I will make a move first."

These two people really played chess seriously. The Living Buddha was wearing a big red monk's robe, with his right arm exposed, and it was still the ordinary and peaceful appearance I saw when I last saw him. The layout of the chess game was completed, and the Living Buddha spoke first: "The little donor set up the table before dawn, wait for me, and you know that the old monk would definitely come?"

Feng Junzi smiled: "The world is empty and empty, where is the peak that cannot enter the clouds? I heard that the Buddha likes to travel around, so it is not impossible to visit here. If you are the true Buddha, you will come. If you are the fake Buddha, it doesn't matter whether you come or not."

The living Buddha nodded and smiled, "Just based on the poetic artistic conception of the little donor, it is worth talking about. You may not only look for me for chess, right?"

Feng Junzi: "This matter is a long story. I originally had a problem and wanted to ask the Buddha. At that time, the Buddha was not here, and when the Buddha came back, I thought I had figured it out. Later, I was confused again, but the Buddha went out to travel around again, and I solved it myself. Until now, I found that I had not understood the truth, so I finally invited the Buddha to come."

Living Buddha: "When I was forty years old, I wandered up the Jinsha River and saw the scenery along the way, I also felt like you. Just say anything to the donor."

Feng Junzi: "I am not a Buddhist disciple, so I want to ask people in Buddhism, but Shang Yunfei went to give me no answer."

Living Buddha: "No wonder that Yunfei suddenly came to ask me one day - Buddhism talks about the six realms of sentient beings, why there are no plants and trees. It turns out that you asked him."

Feng Junzi: "This is my first question. Later, what I wanted to ask is - are the plants and trees ruthless?"

Living Buddha: "You said you had figured it out, why did you come and ask me again?"

Feng Junzi: "What I think is that the feelings of plants and trees are different from those of people. But then I thought that the feelings of other sentient beings in the six realms are different from those of people. It is still unreasonable that plants and trees are not in the six realms."

Living Buddha: "Your question has returned to the starting point. Have you figured it out now?"

Feng Junzi: "When I saw you, Master Buddha, today, I thought of the feelings of plants and trees. Between sentient beings and ruthlessness, you can be sentient beings or ruthlessness. Why is this? I want to ask Master Buddha."

The living Buddha smiled: "Most Buddhist disciples do not kill animals but eat vegetarian food. Where does this vegetarian come from? Vegetarian food comes from plants and trees. Grass and trees do not enter sentient beings, but can nourish sentient beings. It is indeed between sentient beings and ruthlessness. You Taoist people are not saying, 'The heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs'. Is the heaven and earth not kind of saying that the heaven and earth are ruthless? This old monk doesn't know, what does the little donor think?"

Feng Junzi: "Of course, heaven and earth are sentient beings, otherwise how could there be sentient beings? It's just that heaven and earth have forgotten, and sentient beings are pursuing it. The plants and trees take heaven and earth to nourish sentient beings, and turn ruthless into sentient beings."

Living Buddha: "Turning ruthlessness into sentient beings, seems ruthless, is indeed the source of love in the world - since that's the case, why do you ask me?"

Feng Junzi suddenly changed his words and said loudly: "I am not a vegetation. Since I am born as a human being, I have the same feelings as someone. Whether I pursue it or forget it, in short, there is... Master Buddha, after saying so many words, are you thirsty?"

Master Buddha: "I'm really a little thirsty after hearing what you said. It's a pity that there is no tea in the mountains. Let's continue playing chess."

At this time, I suddenly felt a bright light in the distance. The mountain wind became soft and flowing, and the trees around me also added vitality and rhythm. Even the curves of the peaks and ridges in the distance suddenly seemed to have a wonderful taste. In fact, the wind did not change, the trees did not change, and the mountains did not change, everything was because of the appearance of a person. A woman in green walked out of the mountain forest not far away. This was the first time I saw the real green snow.

The statues in the mountain temple can be said to be very exquisitely shaped. Green Xue's body and facial features are almost exactly the same as the statues. It is indeed a beauty in the palace dress. But no matter how good the sculptor's works are, they cannot express one thing, that is, the natural charm. Green Xue comes from the valley, and a natural charm emanates from her. Everything around her becomes vivid and gentle, full of fresh charm. Such a woman is indeed different from ordinary people. It is hard to say what her beauty is because it cannot be described.

I remembered Qixin. I took off my mask and saw her face. Both men and women would lose their minds because it was the appearance of heaven and man. But Green Snow is completely different from Qixin. You would not even notice her facial features, because when you see her, everything around you is part of the flow of charm, including yourself, you will also feel dissolved into it. When I saw her, I understood why Feng Junzi was obsessed with her and why she was happy with her on that moonlit night. This is a person you can't forget when you see it, especially in this deep mountains and valleys, her is indeed the mountain god.

Not to mention what I felt when I saw Luxue, but Living Buddha and Feng Junzi were still playing chess seriously, just pretending that Luxue did not exist at all, and did not appear at all. Luxue didn't say hello, but just came close to the two of them, half kneeled on the ground, and began to put things on. Only then did I see clearly that she was walking out with the things in hand, there was a small stove and a small copper pot, and she was boiling water. Luxue seemed to be looking at the kettle very seriously, and the two were playing chess seriously. The water rang and the water was boiling. Luxue took out another cup and made a cup of tea in somewhere. Living Buddha raised his slender hand and placed the cup of tea at the hand of the living Buddha. Feng Junzi took out his purple clay pot from under the table like a magic trick. Luxue didn't say anything, reached out to take the teapot and brewed another pot of tea at Feng Junzi's hand.

After the tea was ready, Feng Junzi picked up the pot and whispered to the living Buddha: "Master Buddha, please use tea."

Living Buddha: "You are welcome...good tea, good tea."

The two of them continued to play chess while drinking tea. Luxue put the copper pot aside, took out a small tong tongs to grab something and roasted it on the fire. I looked carefully. Luxue was roasting ginkgo, that is, the kernel of ginkgo. When the ginkgo was cooked, the shell would crack and make a crackling sound. A strange fragrance floated in the air. Luxue carefully peeled off the shell of the roasted ginkgo, and placed the whole flesh in a wooden plate. He reached out and handed the wooden plate to the next to the chessboard. It turned out that there was not only tea, but also refreshments.

The two of them were playing chess while drinking tea, and at the same time using tea refreshments. The Living Buddha said: "Little donor, your game of chess is not as good as this kind of tea fragrance. Do you still ask me about the love between plants and trees?"

Feng Junzi: "I won't ask you anymore, but I have another question now."

Living Buddha: "You said."

Feng Junzi: "Does the love between plants and trees hurt people's harmony?"

The Living Buddha sighed, without saying a word, stretched out a finger in front of Feng Junzi's eyes. Feng Junzi frowned and said, "Master Buddha, you are the living Buddha of Huang Sect, why did you play Zen's one-finger Zen with me?"

The living Buddha put down his finger, pointed at the chessboard and said, "What's the result of our chessboard?"

Feng Junzi also looked down at the chessboard: "If you go down, it's nothing more than a black and white."

Living Buddha: "What if the black and white are clear?"
