Chapter 103 Grinding bricks into mirrors

"Master, where shall we go first?"

Several people said goodbye to the herdsmen and slowly flew to the Himalayas in the clouds. Bian Susu looked at the thoughtful ten directions and asked carefully.

Shifang thought for a moment: "Let's find a place to settle down in Bianliang first, and then slowly explore the current situation in the world of cultivation. Then make a plan."

Nowadays, no one knows how powerful Hua Jiangnan is, so they dare not make decisions randomly.

Permanent suddenly said, "If this golden eagle is with me, I'm afraid it's too eye-catching."

As soon as she said it, Shifang suddenly realized. Indeed, the golden eagle is synonymous with the ten directions. This big bird is so eye-catching that if it goes to the city, sooner or later it will reveal the whereabouts of several people.

Shifang said to Jin Diao, "Brother Diao, I'm afraid I'm going to aggrieve you to stay in the Himalayas for a while."

The golden eagle didn't want to, and the ten parties persuaded it. The golden eagle and Shifang grinded together a few times, and a long roar of reluctance flew to the snowy mountains.

This golden eagle is a spiritual object. I'm not afraid that it can't live in this mountain.

From the Himalayas to Biang, it flew for another two days. When it came to Biang, it was already dusk.

I only saw people coming and going in Bianliang City. It was really the capital of the Celestial Empire, which was much more prosperous than that day.

Tang Sanda heard that the largest inn was on the main street of Bianliang Inner City, not far from the palace, and it was very prosperous.

Entering the inn, I booked a few rooms, and then came down for dinner.

Several people are sitting down for dinner, enjoying the prosperity of Bianliang. Two scholars across the table said, "Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, he has accepted virtuous people. Now is the time for us to serve the country's kindness.

Another scholar whispered, "I heard that the emperor is going to send troops to Wu Yue and the Northern Han Dynasty. I don't know what Brother Li thinks about this?"

The scholar surnamed Li said, "The Emperor Taizu once felt sorry for Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, and said that on the day he was alive, he would kill Liu Jun. Now that Emperor Taizu dies and Emperor Taizong succeeds to the throne, the intention of rejuvenating the Northern Han Dynasty has emerged. The Northern Han Dynasty and Khitan had an offensive and defensive alliance. If Emperor Taizong sent troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, he was afraid that Khitan would interfere with it. However, in my opinion, the Song Dynasty is rich and the people are strong. If it is the Northern Expedition, it will definitely be a victory.

Shi Fang listened and said to himself, "Zhao Kuangyin is dead? When did you die? Who is the Emperor Taizong?

Bian Susu and Shifang had the same idea. He looked at Shifang and was also puzzled when he saw him. Then he got up with a smile and went to the two scholar's desks and sat down. He said, "My little sister has been to Tianzhu for a year. I don't know that many things have happened to me in the Song Dynasty. What the two brothers said just now is very insightful. Can you solve the puzzle for your little sister?

Bian Susu is also a true person. Her natural skin is fair, and she is originally beautiful. At this time, she is even more ashamed of the moon. When the two scholars saw it, they were secretly overjoyed: "I said that I should always have a beautiful woman, but I won't come today?"

Li Shusheng hugged his fist and smiled, "Let the girl laugh. Xiaoke's surname is Li, and his single name is a crown. This is my good friend, Zhao Zhizhang. Don't know the girl's name? What's the question?"

Zhao Zhizhang said, "We will know everything."

Bian Susu felt funny and said, "It's good for the two brothers to call me Susu. I just heard from the two people that Emperor Taizu had passed away? Who is the emperor today? Also, I heard that I have appointed a palace official in the Celstial Empire? Do you two know it?

This time, Zhao Zhizhang said first: "I don't know until the girl has been there for a long time. Not long after the death of Emperor Taizu, the current emperor is the royal brother of Taizu. This saint is a literary and martial arts. He not only collects books from all over the world, but also attaches great importance to our literati. And he is ambitious. Now I heard that he is about to promote Wu Yue and the Northern Han Dynasty.

Bian Susu nodded slightly while listening, only looking at the two 'talented' as if they were intoxicated.

Li Guan continued, "Does Su Su want to inquire about the palace officer? I only heard that Emperor Taizu met a fairy, so he made her a palace official and ordered her to be in charge of the world. But since she became a palace watcher, the Taoist priests and monks in the world have not been honest. Of course, all kinds of immortals have also appeared one after another. Many people have a fairy fate and go to learn from teachers.

Bian Susu smiled and said, "You two are talented. You have wisdom at a glance. Why don't you go to the teacher and practice Taoism?"

Li Guan and Zhao Zhizhang blushed. Zhao Zhizhang smiled dryly and said, "The girl is laughing. Those immortals are all in the name of apprentices, but in fact they are collecting money. It's okay not to worship such a copper-smelling immortal.

This sentence has two meanings, one is that two people have no money, and the other is that two people are tall.

Bian Susu pouted and said, "It turns out that they are all such immortals. Originally, I wanted to see the palace official fairy. If so, it's okay not to see it."

Li Guan laughed and said, "I can't see it even if I want to see it. After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, the former palace official was also changed. Today's palace officials seem to be called... Fengyue... Fengyue Fairy."

Bian Susu was shocked and thought that the wind and moon fairy had appeared! But she still smiled on her face and asked, "Why did you change? Does the head of the immortal also change casually?

Li Guan shook his hand and said, "This is not what I know. It must be the poor management of the previous palace officials, which led to the smoke of monks and Taoists. As soon as Taizong was angry, he changed people.

Bian Susu asked other things tentatively, and these two didn't know much about it.

Bian Susu smiled and said, "Thank you, two brothers. Susu will tell my brother to go." He got up and returned to the table of Shifang, regardless of the dumb and regretful expressions of the two 'talented guys'.

Bian Susu said to inquire about the news, and several people from all over the world were surprised.

Long whispered, "No...no news about Diaohan Fairy?"

Bian Susu shook his head, looked at Shifang for a long time, and said, "It looks like Fengyue and Hua Jiangnan are confronting each other. Let's not rush to take any action. We might as well take a closer look at whether there are any monks, and then explore in detail."

On the second day, several people from all over the world pretended to be tourists and inquired about the spiritual temple Taoist temple. Sure enough, they found out, and there was more than one.

The most famous is the Pingzhong Temple in the North Mountain outside the city. It is said that the Huikai monk there is a Bodhisattva who has supreme magical power. Any wish will definitely work. In the past, Pingzhong Temple was just an ordinary temple, and it did not occupy a large area. Since the monk Huiguang came to the temple to place a list, he has widely applied Buddhism and spread all sentient beings. Nowadays, Pingzhong Temple is not only full of incense, but also has renovated the temple, expanded the area, and renovated into a well-known temple.

Six people from all directions went all the way out of the city and came to Beishan like tourists. Sure enough, there is a big temple at the foot of the mountain, and there are many tourists and tourists on the stone steps leading to the mountain gate. Just looking at the tall and wide wall and the many temples where the wall is exposed, you can see that the area here is so large that it can be called a superior Buddhist temple.

Six people stepped on the stone steps and entered the temple. They saw a large bluestone ground inside, facing a huge incense burner. In the distance, there were many temples, pines and cypresses were green, and cigarettes were wrapped around.

Shifang stopped a little monk first, put his hands together and asked, "We are outsiders. I heard that Master Huikai of Bao Temple is very powerful, so I want to see him. I don't know where the master is?"

The little monk smiled and said, "Master Huikai is usually very busy. At this time, he is teaching for several members. If the donor wants to go, he can go to the back mountain garden. You can see Master Huikai.

Walk along the Qingshi Road for a while, through a moon gate, and come to the back mountain forest. The path in the back mountain forest is not wide. After walking for a while, I saw two monks standing there. Seeing six people coming, a monk stopped him and said, "Several benefactors, this is the place where Master Huikai said, and you can't enter casually."

Shifang said, "I'm going to see the master."

A monk on the right held a copper bowl and stood one palm in front of his chest and said, "If you see Master Huikai, please give each person ten taels of incense."

Shifang was dumb. He never knew that the incense, merit and money of the temple were like this. When he used to be a monk, he wasted a lot of charity. At that time, he didn't know what to do, but now he thinks that people are more popular than people. Master Huikai sat in it and moved his mouth, which asked many people to automatically come back.

Bian Susu was also angry and wanted to take down the two monks.

Shifang sighed, obediently took out sixty taels of silver and said, "Just this little copper bowl? Can you put it in?"

The monk holding the copper bowl smiled and said, "You don't know the magic power of Master Huikai. This copper bowl is the magic weapon of the Buddha family. It's a mountain and a river that can be packed into it.

Shifang looked at the copper bowl. Sure enough, there was some aura in it. Tang Er smiled and said, "It turned out that it was just an ordinary magic weapon. How dare you claim to be a magic weapon? It's so funny."

The two monks said angrily, "Do you have a magic weapon better than this?"

Tang Er laughed and put the two monks' copper bowls into his sleeves. It turned out that Tang Er's storage bag was refined in the sleeves of the long shirt he had been wearing. At this time, he put the two monks and the copper bowl into it, and only used less than one-thousandth of the space. Tang Er is a master of refinery, and his storage sleeves are naturally much more advanced than the inferior storage copper bowl.

It was too late to stop it, so I had to smile bitterly and strode into the forest.

The woods were elegant. Before I saw anyone, I heard the voice of a great monk. This monk is talking about a story of grinding bricks and making mirrors.

I only heard him say, "When I was 12 years old, I went to Hengshan, Nanyue. I worshipped Zen master as my teacher and became a monk. One day, Huai asked the Zen master to sit there and meditate all day, so he saw the opportunity to teach.

Asked, "What do you want to do when you sit here all day?"

Tao Yi said, "I want to become a Buddha."

Huai asked the Zen master to pick up a brick and grind it on the stone near Daoyi.

As soon as Dao was too noisy to be quiet by this noise, he asked, "Master, what are you doing to grind bricks?"

Zen master Huairang: "I grind bricks to make a mirror."

said one: "How can grinding bricks be used as a mirror?"

Huairang Zen master: "Grinding bricks can't be used as a mirror, so how can you become a Buddha by sitting in meditation?"

said one: "Then how can I become a Buddha?"

Zen master Huai Rang: "This is like someone driving. If the car doesn't leave, do you take a taxi or a cow?"

Dao was silent and did not answer.

Zen master Huai Rang said again, "Do you learn to sit and meditate, or do you learn to be a Buddha?" If you learn to meditate, Zen is not about sitting and lying.

If you learn to sit on the Buddha, the Buddha does not have a certain shape. There should be no trade-offs for variable things,

If you learn to sit on the Buddha, you will kill the Buddha. If you are sincere in sitting, you will go against it.

As soon as Dao heard the teachings of the Zen master, it was like drinking, and the whole body was comfortable.

Shifang has also heard this story, but now he has heard it, but he suddenly realized something. Shi Fang smiled and stepped into the forest.
