Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 68

After the four of them enjoyed the camellias, Liu Chang bid farewell and returned to Jiankang.

in the Zen room.

Guan Ziyang talked with Wei Yiqing for two rounds, tidied Wei Yiqing up to the point of obedience, and happily went back to his room to sleep.

Wei Yiqing was left sullen, staring blankly at the chessboard, replaying the game dozens of times in his mind, but he couldn't figure out how he lost.

"Could it be that I don't even have the strength to fight the middle game with my junior brother...it's too strong!" Wei Yiqing thought in his heart, "I will never play chess with my junior brother again, it hurts my self-esteem too much..."

The next day, this was the third day Guan Ziyang came to Andong Temple.

Guan Ziyang is ready to force his way...

The three of them came to Zhi Daolin's closed door again, Guan Ziyang bowed across the door, and said politely, "I'm in Guan Ziyang, west of the Fuling River, please see Mr. Zhi..."

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Guan Ziyang's anger rose from his heart, "Damn, don't wait!"

Guan Ziyang's inner energy poured into his palm, ready to forcefully break in.

As a result, just as the palm was in the air, the door opened from the inside with a 'squeak'.

Guan Ziyang quickly withdrew his palm, almost hitting the bald monk who opened the door.

Needless to say, this should be Zhi Daolin.

Guan Ziyang hurriedly saluted again, and the two daughters behind him followed suit.

Guan Ziyang said: "Guan Ziyang has met Zhigong."

Looking up, this monk is only about 30 years old, and he looks very handsome, so he is called 'Gong Zhi'?
"What is the young master looking for the poor monk?"

"My mother is sick at home, and I want to ask Mr. Zhi to come and treat her."

Zhi Daolin invited the three of them into the room and said, "My lord, please come in and sit down for a detailed discussion."

Guan Ziyang described his mother's illness to Zhi Daolin, and heard from the doctor that Zhi Daolin had a precedent for curing such diseases.

That's why I came to see a doctor.

Zhi Daolin said: "My Buddha is merciful, and the poor monk can really give it a try for Lingtang's disease, but I swore in front of the Buddha last month that I will close this temple for ten years."

Guan Ziyang said again: "Then can you ask Zhi to disclose a prescription or give advice on how to treat it? My mother is really not suitable for traveling and traveling."

Zhi Daolin shook his head: "This disease requires me to use golden needles."

Guan Ziyang asked again: "Is there no other way? I have also heard about your bet with that evil monk. Let's go quietly, others may not be able to find out!"

Zhi Daolin still shook his head: "Buddhists must not lie, I hope you will understand me."

Guan Ziyang said again: "Is there no other way?"

Zhi Daolin shook his head: "Except for your cousin to come..."

Then he continued: "However, the master who taught me this method of golden needle is named Bao Gu. If you can find her, maybe you can go to Fuling to treat your mother."

Guan Ziyang thought: "Bao Gu, isn't that my master Ge Hong's old and dishonest wife? Oh, right, I never heard him mention it when I was in Huanglong Temple?"

Then he thought again: "Bao Gu is in Guangzhou, there is no waterway to go to Fuling, and it is even farther away. It is better to grasp the branch forest in front of me."

"Grandpa Zhi, is there any special circumstances that allow you to leave Andong Temple?" Guan Ziyang asked.

"Yes, that means I can beat Seng Yuan."

Guan Ziyang asked: "I don't know much about Buddhist martial arts, what are you competing for when you sit and compete for power of thought?"

While speaking, Guan Ziyang activated the innate spirit in his body!

Zhi Daolin was shocked!
Suddenly prostrate and kneel down, kowtowing!
"The Buddha appeared, the Buddha appeared..."

Guan Ziyang was taken aback, "Could it be that the Buddhist sage is called the Buddha in their Buddhism?"

Guan Ziyang quickly helped Zhi Daolin up, and said solemnly: "If you don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, don't tell me you can put people's lives at risk just to keep the precepts!"

"Disciples obey the teachings!"

Guan Ziyang was overjoyed, he knew it would be so easy, why would I spend so much effort, it would be great if I could reveal my innate spirit sooner.

……

Zhi Daolin has gone down the mountain!

The host can't hold back!
"Daolin, Buddhists must abide by the precepts. You have sworn before the Buddha that you must not destroy your cultivation!"

"Master presiding, the Buddha has pointed out the direction for me, let me go..."

Back at Jiankang's house, it was almost dark.

Qingchan specially made a table of vegetarian food for Zhi Daolin.

During the dinner, Guan Ziyang told Zhi Daolin the truth.

Anyway, Zhi Daolin has already gone down the mountain and broke his vow, so he is not afraid of him going back.

"Grandpa Zhi, I'm not actually a Buddhist semi-sage, I just have a Buddhist innate god in my body."

"I know!" Zhi Daolin said casually while picking up a pea.

"you know?"

"If you are a Buddhist semi-sage, I can naturally feel it. Just because you are not a Buddhist semi-sacred, but you have an innate god, it shows that you have a predestined relationship with the Buddha."

He also said: "In this world, except for the Buddha Sakyamuni, who was born with an innate god, everyone else cultivates internal strength first, from the ninth rank to the first rank, and then realizes Buddhist martial arts and becomes holy. Nature transforms into an innate god."

Guan Ziyang secretly wondered: "I don't know if Zhi Gong can tell me, what kind of Buddhist scripture is this?"

After finally meeting an eminent monk of Buddhist martial arts, Guan Ziyang strikes while the iron is hot, and takes out the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" that he has carried with him for several years.

Zhi Daolin took a look and said, "This is the ordinary "Miaofa Lotus Sutra". Mr. Guan carries it with him, and he really can't put it down. He is very devout!"

Guan Ziyang squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Grand Zhi, please look carefully."

Zhi Daolin put down the chopsticks that had not stopped, and carefully flipped through the scriptures.

Suddenly, his eyes widened with panic.

Quickly flip through again and again.

"Guan Gongzi, the commentary in this scripture is really mysterious, it is a school of its own! The Taoists have never said it... Where did you get it from?"

So Guan Ziyang told him about how his mother met a wandering monk by chance.

Zhi Daolin was amazed.

"It seems that not only Guan Gongzi has a predestined relationship with Buddha, but also Lingtang. My decision on this trip is right."

"Guan Gongzi, I will set off tomorrow!"

Guan Ziyang said happily: "That's really great, as long as Zhigong can cure mother's illness, I will give you this scripture!"

Seeing Zhi Daolin's fondness for the scriptures, Guan Ziyang felt that this thing was of little use to him, and he had already opened up a gap in the sea of ​​consciousness with it. During the two years in Luofu Huanglong Temple, no matter how much he studied, he would never lose his mind. any proceeds.

Moreover, I have already memorized the small characters in the annotations between the lines in the scriptures by heart, so it is meaningless to keep them.

Zhi Daolin was even more delighted when he got the scriptures. He didn't eat his fast, so he began to read carefully at the dinner table.

Sometimes closing Zengsi, sometimes scratching my head...

Guan Ziyang discussed with Qingchan and Wei Yiqing about returning to Fuling.

I still have to deal with Xie Yi's Shi Kun's problem, and the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng is right in front of me, so going back to Fuling is not as smooth as when I came here.

Wouldn't it be bad if I delayed back and forth and missed the scheduled product.

So he entrusted Wei Yiqing and Qing Chan to go back together, first to cure his mother's illness, and then to join him in Jiankang.

The two daughters knew that Guan Ziyang was most worried about his mother's illness, so they both nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, the second daughter set off with Zhi Daolin.

Before leaving, Qingchan said: "Xiao Langjun, when I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself, don't starve yourself, and keep warm when it's cold..."

After Datong explained, Guan Ziyang discovered that Qing Chan had been with him for more than five years. During these five years, the two were almost inseparable, and Guan Ziyang had never worried about anything in life.

After Qing Chan finished explaining, Wei Yiqing also came over to have a private conversation with Guan Ziyang.

"Junior brother, you are talented and intelligent, and you have great ambitions, but you have to be more careful in everything, and there is also the matter of Dao Xin. In fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. You can't get it by asking or looking for it."

"When the time comes, I will naturally realize that the master didn't tell you before, because he was afraid that you would abandon me, and used this as an excuse to let me stay by your side."

Guan Ziyang smiled calmly: "You can be considered honest, don't worry, in fact, I already knew."

"Moreover, I have a strong feeling that my Dao heart is not far away from me!"

"Really? Can you feel what it is? Is it a piano like me, or chess?"

Guan Ziyang shook his head and said, "No, you will know when you come to Jiankang next time!"
