"Master once told the two of us that the monks in the late Tang Dynasty were happy to join the sect, because both Han Shanshi and Lu Qiu lived on the rooftop, and Lu Qiu was a famous official in the dynasty. He pretended that this person was easy to win trust, so he relied on his name and made up his deeds to confuse future generations.

…”

Fake? A thunderbolt flashed through Jiang Wen's mind, predicting that what happened next would be extraordinary.

Afterwards, Abbot Hongbian told the exact words that the abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benmu. It turned out that that day, the abbot of Guoqing Temple completely denied the legend that had been passed down through the ages in front of Zen Master Benmu. This made Zen Master Benmu

He was also extremely surprised, but no matter what, the surprise at this time was not as great as what he would have heard later.

The abbot of Guoqing Temple told Zen Master Benwu that the reason why they were sure that Lu Qiuyin's preface to the poem and the recorded deeds were fabricated lies was because he had compiled the notes circulated by eminent monks of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in Guoqing Temple and found that those who lived in the same era

The eminent monk, no one has ever seen with his own eyes, this weird poet monk "Han Shanzi"...

According to the eminent monk's notes, the incident began among the monks in Xiangjichu. Suddenly, there was a rumor that a strange man "had a haggard appearance, with a fallen cloth, wearing a birch bark as a crown, and dragging big wooden clogs, would come and linger outside Guoqing Temple from time to time."

"For three to five days, some people claimed to have seen the strange thing, but no one could explain the face clearly, which made people panic.

During that period of time, although the monks were frightened, they could only feel the vague presence of people. Only a crazy monk named Shi De, a fatherless and motherless monk in the temple, shouted that he could see "Han Shanzi" coming.

He was talking to himself in the corridor, his words were strange and obscure, as if he was speaking a language that did not belong to this world.

Every day, Shide collected the leftover food of the monks and stored it in a bamboo tube under the corridor. The bamboo tube disappeared in the morning, and the monks thought it was supernatural. Occasionally, Shide told people that "Hanshanzi" came from outside the sky and had a body with a body.

The sign of the Five Turbid Worlds is that the world is impermanent, the country is in danger, and the Baiyang calamity is coming. When the mountains sink, the oceans rise, and all living beings will cease to exist.

As time went by, Shi De became even more crazy. The monks of Guoqing Temple vaguely saw in the hazy moonlight that there seemed to be a man with a haggard appearance "walking slowly in the corridor, sometimes making noises, looking into the sky and cursing". Shi De also followed suit and looked into the sky and cursed.

, clamoring for Dadan.

You must know that Guoqing Temple is located at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, with few villagers nearby, and it is extremely quiet at night. Two unknown voices suddenly shouted, like thunder on the ground, and the whole temple was frightened. The monks could not bear it, so they came out to criticize him and drive him away.

, he didn’t even retort when he found it, he held his hands in laughter with a mysterious expression, and then walked away.

Later, Shi De's behavior became more and more weird, and he became more and more disrespectful towards many Buddha statues. He always said that "Han Shanzi" was coming to pick him up and leave.

Shi De was originally working as a chaplain in the dining hall. One day, he suddenly sat down in the Mahavira Hall and had food with the Buddha in front of the statue of Sakyamuni. Another day, he pointed at the statues of Arhats and shouted: "Ouch Chenru! You

What a little fruit of sravaka!" Then he gestured with his chopsticks as if no one was watching and laughed. Another time, the food in the kitchen was stolen by crows. When they found the food in the kitchen, they scolded Dharma protector Jialan for failing to uphold his duties, and even hit the holy statue with a wooden stick.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more strange, the eminent monk of Guoqing Temple locked the found items in the woodshed and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Soon, he found a message among the mountain people. Ten years ago, a wandering monk from Yanzhao stayed for the night.

The disciples were also dressed like this, but his absurd behavior made the monks impatient, so they chased him away and beat him with sticks. Finally, he died of his injuries on the cold rock. In the end, it was Shi De, a firewood collector, who told him to bury him.

He was buried somewhere unknown in Hanyan.

The last time the monks saw Shide was when he opened his handcuffs for some unknown reason, came to the Xiangji Kitchen and took a seat, eating as usual. Then Shide put down his bowls and chopsticks, cursing "thief! thief!" and looked haggard.

He walked out of the temple in ragged clothes, chanting absurd and terrifying scriptures, his feet gradually lifted up in the air, and he walked straight to the cold rock in the north of the temple. He walked faster and faster until the monks couldn't catch up...

When everyone from Guoqing Temple chased them to Hanyan, they found that they had long since disappeared. But on Hanyan, the monks discovered that there were many vines and vines on the cliffs nearby, interspersed with short bamboos, and huge boulders covered with moss in ocher black.

The faces of the people stood staggered like a screen, and a dark shadow was pulling the monk into the rock, while the cliff was slowly closing away from the rock.

The monks stood blankly on the spot. Countless mountains, rocks, trees, and walls of deserted houses gave people a dizzying feeling of terror. The depths of the entire cold rock were actually filled with all kinds of obscure and difficult ancient seal scripts. The characters were very ancient.

Later generations copied and studied it for a long time, but none of the county sergeants or common people could understand it.

According to the biography of Shide in "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty", "...the monks of the later temple were gathering firewood at the south peak. They saw a monk entering the rock, picking up the collar bone, and collecting the relics. Only then did he know that the rock was destroyed, because it was called Shide Rock.

." At this point, the life and death of the lost person have become clear, but no one can know the authenticity of "Han Shanzi".

Jiang Wen suddenly remembered that until later generations, the existence of Han Shan seemed to be a mystery. Many people tried to verify it, but they could not even find out the exact date of his life.

"Abbot Hongbian, as you said, Hanshan is actually a man in a trance, and is the collection of poems true or false? No one has ever seen him, so how did this "Hanshan Gong" come into being in later generations?"

"The Collection of Poems of Han Shanzi has many descendants who have attached it, but the traces of 'Han Shanzi' have disappeared since then. It is not that no one has seen it, it is just that there are only a few people in ancient times, and the words are not clear..."

The old monk recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, as if he was considering whether Jiang Wen was suitable to accept this message. After thinking again and again, he finally replied: "Lu Qiu's record is ridiculous and has no evidence, and is close to a blind novel. If you must examine the facts, it is better to believe in Lu Qiu's record."

For the pseudo-preface, I would rather believe in Guangting's "Supplementary Materials". The Xu Ling Mansion recorded by Guangting can be traced back to the year, month and origin, and it is consistent with Hanshan."

Jiang Wen fell into thinking.

According to Abbot Hongbian, Lu Qiuyin's "Preface to the Collection of Poems of Hanshanzi" by Lu Qiuyin has been researched in detail by many good people, and they have discovered some inaccuracies in it, such as the fallacy of the county name in the Tang Dynasty and the inaccuracy of Lu Qiuyin's official accessories.

The different dates before and after, the doubts about the collection of Hanshan's poems, the illusion of Hanshan being found and destroyed, etc., basically prove that it is a forgery by later generations.

The only convincing record from the same period comes from the writings of Du Guangting, a Taoist leader who had been promoting Taoism in Shu for fifty years during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

His "Supplements to Immortals" records that when Xu Lingfu, a high-minded Taoist priest during the Wuzong period of the Tang Dynasty, came to Tiantai Mountain, he saw "Hanshanzi" in the mountains and said that he was "weird and mysterious, and could not be tolerated in the world", so "Tongbai"

"Zhengjun Xu Lingfu, prefaced and collected it, divided it into three volumes, and traveled in the world", that is, he personally went to the Hanyan area to collect Hanshan's poems and deciphered the secrets in the ancient seal script, and then "the good guys recorded it"

, with more than 300 poems", it became the current "Collection of Poems by Han Shanzi".

In addition to this, the "Hanshan Gong" obtained by Xu Lingfu was also passed on to Du Guangting. Du Zhenzhen was stationed at Qingdu Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. From then on, "Hanshan Neigong" changed its appearance, from being a secret of Buddhism in Tiantai Mountain to flowing into the world.

In the rivers and lakes.

"Any talk about gods is too nonsense. Abbot Hongbian, has anyone else seen 'Han Shanzi'?"

Jiang Wen suddenly asked, seeming a little impatient that the conversation turned to Suo Yinjigu, and asked for more details.

Master Anren was silent for a while, and finally replied slowly: "From the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, how could only one person have seen it?"

Master Anren apparently also visited the traces found by Hanshan, and told that Xu Lingfu was not the only person who had seen "Hanshanzi".

First of all, there is Xu Ning, a poet of the mid-Tang Dynasty. He was the first person to record "Han Shanzi" in poetry, and he was also the only Tang Dynasty poet who was suspected of having seen Han Shanzi during his lifetime.

It is written in "Yan Gui Shi": "Without hanging silk clothes, I returned to the cold rock to live. On a windy and snowy night in the cold rock, I crossed the Yanqian stream again." It seems to be a reward for the visit of "Han Shanzi".

And until a hundred years later in the Song Dynasty, some people still encountered "Han Shanzi" by chance.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Zhuan, also known as Ziyue, once served in Yuyao, Yuezhou. He also claimed to have encountered "Han Shanzi" in the Tiantai Mountains. He refused to answer any detailed questions, and then his temperament changed drastically and he believed in Buddhism. Yang Shi, a great scholar of Chengmen Lixue,

In the "Epitaph of Li Ziyue" written for him, it is also mentioned in Spring and Autumn style: "It was written by Gong Tao, named Zi Yue, and his surname was Li. He was a descendant of the Miao kings of the Tang Dynasty... He once visited Hanshanzi alone... Especially in his later years.

In Buddhism, family members steal and blame others, so no one dares to ask about it. A handwritten poem called "Hanshan Poem" is intended to show the disciples that they should probably attack others' evil and defeat their own good as a warning..."

For this reason, Zen Master Benwu personally climbed to the Hanyan Rock in the southwest of the temple. He found that the mountainside of Hanyan was like a thunderbolt. The cliffs there were exposed and steep, and the thin rocks were jagged straight up and down. It was difficult for ordinary people to walk.

Found an encounter with someone.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yan Hui, a painter who specialized in ghosts and ghosts, had strange brushwork. He once hid a strange painting in the mountains. It seemed that he encountered a cold mountain in the darkness of the mountains and found it, and found it with a broken face and a laugh. This is the creepy scene.

Zen Master Benwu copied it and brought it back to Sidtan Temple, and quietly hid it in a stone cave...

""Hanshan Gong" is like the 'Hanshanzi', which is difficult for ordinary people to meet, but if someone is destined to meet it, it will be with him like a shadow and will never go away. Therefore, the old monk claims to have practiced hard for decades, but in fact he has not achieved anything in one day.

It is the number of destiny."

Master Anren's words were full of ambiguities. He raised his clear and sad face, looked at Jiang Wen alone and said, "The root of "Hanshan Gong" still comes from the world of Huazang in the Avatamsaka Sutra. The infinite pearls reflect each other, and the pearls reflect each other.

Pearls are contained, shadows are photographed, they overlap endlessly, and they are confused with cause and effect. Therefore, it is possible to stop the practice of the old monk from retreating, but it is of no benefit to ordinary people."

Jiang Wen was horrified. He didn't expect that there were such evil practices among the Buddhist Kung Fu in Tiantai Mountain. It seems that Southern Shaolin is not the only one who is good at going astray. The Xitan Temple was also terrorized because there was no Zen master to operate it.

Be wary of being entangled by ghosts and other foreign things, from which you cannot escape.

In order to stop the fighting of internal energy in the internal organs, I mistakenly ingested Master Anren's internal energy of Hanshan. As a result, the old monk's internal energy was exhausted and he was fine. However, because my own internal energy was entangled by Hanshan's internal energy, my skills were greatly damaged...

"Two masters, Jiang is completely confused now. Is this Xitan Temple in Jizushan a Buddhist country? How do you think you two mean that the desire to avoid fear is greater than the desire to worship the Buddha?"

Jiang Wen was still planning to make a joke, but Abbot Hongbian still saluted Jiang Wen solemnly. Master Anren also accompanied him. The waving of the monk's robe caused the candle lamp to shake, and countless phantoms were instantly transformed.

"Amitabha, I am afraid that Tanyue's encounter with the fearful ghosts now is just the tip of the iceberg. This Jizu Mountain is certainly the kingdom of the Buddha opened by heaven and the city transformed by the earth. But as the "Vimalakīrti Sutra" says, there are many demon kings in the worlds of the ten directions.

This is the Bodhisattva who abides in inconceivable liberation. Anyone who can beg for hands, feet, heads, marrow, and brain and speaks in this way is the Bodhisattva who abides in inconceivable liberation."

Abbot Hongbian's eloquence is not limited, and his tongue can bloom like a lotus flower, but what he said makes people goosebumps all over their bodies, "Great Bodhisattva, good teachers often turn into evil things to make people make progress without retreating. Therefore, the devil is here in the old monk."

Both of them have Bodhisattvas in their eyes..."

The more Jiang Wen listened, the more his scalp became numb. A coldness grew and spread from the bottom of his heart, and the sudden realization in his heart arrived with the coldness - no wonder these two old monks were acting strangely, and they insisted that Jizu Mountain was...

"Buddha country" turns out to be this meaning!

"...It turns out that in your eyes, the Buddha's kingdom in the world where the Buddha's light shines is no different from the immeasurable demon kingdom filled with evil spirits..."

To use an analogy, it is like an obedient and diligent cow. It also needs a whip occasionally. The purpose of holding the whip is not to torture the cow, but to make it move forward better. But if the cow cannot withstand the torture and dies, is this a good thing?

What? If a person really sacrifices his limbs, head, marrow and brain to die, will the Bodhisattva in front of him be considered good or evil?

I had no intention of going to the Paradise, so what kind of place did I end up in by accident?

The two old monks put their palms together and chanted sutras. After saying this, they seemed to have relieved a heavy burden from their hearts, and finally said to Jiang Wen.

"Jiang Tanyue, the old monk has ordered Pinzhao to wait at the foot of the mountain. The female donor's coma is probably only resolved by Pinzhao's fate - it's just that this child hopes for magical powers and is ignorant of impermanence, but he doesn't know that all dharmas and emptiness are all dreams.

, magical powers are all illusions in the end, and the benefactors mostly use them as advice.”

Jiang Wen nodded slowly, knowing that the old monk's instructions might have broken some kind of commandments, but he didn't know where the instructions would take him, and how he could wake up Luo Shuang'er.

Jiang Wen opened the window and felt that the Buddhist kingdom was filled with demonic energy and the earth was full of bones. He didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him, but there was no room for retreat behind him.

We must also explore the dragon's pond and tiger's den.

"Tan Yue, the Sittan Temple is now safe. The princess has her own way to deal with it. If the female benefactor wakes up smoothly, you two must not step into the Sittan Temple again. From today on, Jizu Mountain will become increasingly dangerous. I hope

Cherish it a lot..."

"Amitabha……"

I don’t know what to say, so I secretly ask for a monthly ticket (=ω)
