Chapter 4 The Little Zen Master of Hengshan Sect
Among the five mountains, Beiyue Hengshan is located in Hunyuan County, Datong Prefecture. This mountain has many dangerous places. The rocks are covered with grass and trees, and the exposed parts are all earthy yellow, revealing the same weather-beaten meaning as the Great Wall a hundred miles away in the north.
Jianxing Peak, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, is shrouded by endless white clouds all year round. There is nothing on the top of the peak, except for a small nunnery with two entrances. There are more than 30 tile houses next to the nunnery. There are clotheslines hanging outside the door.
There were many monks' robes and clothes on it, so it was obvious that it was inhabited by people.
Several hundred feet away, on the west side of the peak, are three large tile-roofed houses. The bricks and tiles are newer, and the houses are more impressive than the nunnery and the nearby tile-roofed houses.
It was March in spring, and even the north wind on the Jianxing Peak of Hengshan Mountain was weak and invisible. The moist and warm breeze passed through the mountain pass and passed over the peak.
A young novice wearing a black monk's robe pushed out the door of the tile-roofed house at the east end, walked to a boulder facing the wind, stood facing the rising sun and adjusted his breath. After a long while, he suddenly let out a loud roar, and then looked like an ape.
He stretched out his arms and lowered his waist, and started a set of boxing and kicking skills.
After a stick of incense, the little novice jumped down from the boulder, stood still and slowly adjusted his breath. After a while, his body shook, and he said with a smile: "I have become more and more proficient in practicing the Seven Star Long Fist."
…”
The little novice monk looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had light eyebrows and dark skin, and had narrow eyes. Although his figure was a little thin, he was not short in stature.
This little novice monk was Zheng Gui who entered the world of "Swordsman" for more than a year through the reincarnation beads.
At that time, after Zheng Gui entered this world, he was resurrected in the body of a little beggar who had just died of starvation.
After waking up, Zheng Gui didn't know where the plot had progressed in the current year. He wanted to learn from his masters, and recalled the information about Shaolin Wudang, the world's great sect, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the Kunlun Sect, the Beggar Clan and other sects in the original work.
Prepare to choose a disciple from among them.
Zheng Gui knew that although Jin Daxia's martial arts world also emphasized qualifications, the qualifications here mainly refer to people's understanding and understanding, and a small part of them refers to the root meridians.
If we talk about those who are in poor health or even disabled, as long as their understanding is not bad, or they are taught by famous teachers, there are many people who are successful in practicing martial arts. If it is the authentic Taoism and Buddhism, I am afraid they have to pay attention to the cultivation of mind, but the rules are more important than the essence.
The world we live in is still too relaxed.
Zheng Gui knew that most of the martial arts in the world where the main body was located were high-level martial arts, so there were stricter requirements for practitioners' essence, blood, meridians, muscles, etc. If they did not meet the standards, they were not suitable for practicing martial arts. Even if they practiced forcefully, they would achieve half the result with half the effort and limited achievements.
Already.
Knowing that the two worlds were different, Zheng Gui decided to study under a teacher after a physical examination and found that he had no disability or disease and that his limbs were intact.
Zheng Gui's true form is a disciple of Buddhism. If he is of the same lineage and also practices Buddhist martial arts, and later returns to his true form after successful practice, even if he is found to have martial arts skills, he will always be able to find excuses to deal with it because of the Buddhist martial arts.
But if someone were to discover that he was practicing demonic or side martial arts, the seniors at Daxiong Zen Temple would most likely arrest him and treat him as an evil spy, or even a goblin.
After much thought, Zheng Gui could only give up on the Beggar Gang, which was relatively easier to join, and only focused on the two major Buddhist sects, the Songshan Shaolin Temple and the Hengshan Sect.
Zheng Gui was very coveted by the Shaolin Temple's Yi Jin Jing, which changed people's qualifications, but he knew that as Beidou, the martial arts Taishan that had been famous for hundreds of years, it would be too difficult for him, a powerless little beggar, to join him.
As for the Hengshan Sect, which is mainly composed of nuns and has almost only female disciples, it is quite difficult for a male to join it.
However, although the major Buddhist sects are martial arts sects, they also practice Buddhism intensively. They firmly believe in Buddhist teachings.
Master, I will definitely be able to impress them and worship you.
So it seems to be the most difficult, but in fact, with the blessing of many scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Daxiong Temple, Zheng Gui has the greatest hope of becoming a Buddhist.
After thinking about the charter in his mind, Zheng Gui stopped thinking about it. He first survived by catching fish, picking wild fruits and begging, and then he practiced Xiong Yao Jin to strengthen his body and inquired about information. He also thought about what would happen if the distance was over.
Nanshan is close, maybe you can look for the Nine Yin Manual in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
About ten days later, Zheng Gui made extensive inquiries and finally found out that he was near Shuozhou, Shanxi, and there were only a handful of nearby martial arts sects.
After inquiring about the distance between this place and Zhongnan Mountain, Wudang Mountain and other famous mountains and rivers, Zheng Gui did not dare to take risks, considering his age and thin body. He could only go to the nearest Hengshan Mountain, thinking of paying homage first.
Under the Hengshan sect.
Needless to mention the hardships on the road, Zheng Gui also relied on Xiong Yaojin to give him strength comparable to that of an adult man, and then he arrived at the foot of Mount Heng without any danger. Two months had passed since he entered the world.
After climbing to the Jianxing Peak of Hengshan Mountain, Zheng Gui, who was dressed in rags, met many nuns and lay disciples of the Hengshan Sect in front of the Wuse Nunnery of the Hengshan Sect.
At Zheng Gui's insistence, he soon met the head of the Hengshan Sect, an old nun named Ci Xin.
Zheng Gui's conversational demeanor far surpassed that of a teenage beggar. Especially some of the words he said in the treatises of Zen Master Taixiong in order to impress Master Cixin were even more astonishing, expressing his views on the unique way of Buddhism.
Master Cixin immediately accepted him as a closed disciple, gave him the Dharma name of Dharma, and personally ordained Zheng Gui.
Since then, the true disciples of the Hengshan Sect have changed from the Three Dings of Hengshan to the Four Dings of Hengshan. The lay disciples and other disciples of the Compassionate Sisters and Sisters have presided over branches in various places. On the huge Jianxing Peak of Hengshan, Zheng, who is more than ten years old,
Gui then became the direct disciple of the head of the sect, and became a close disciple of the already famous "Hengshan Sanding".
Master Cixin is nearly seventy years old. She is an elite disciple of the Hengshan sect who remained after the Demon Sect's attack on Huashan. She has lost energy in recent years and has already handed over the affairs of the sect to the management of the eldest disciple Dingjing. However, she accepted Zheng
After Zheng Gui, his teacher Taique personally taught him the Buddhist Dharma, and also taught Zheng Gui the basic Seven Star Boxing and breathing methods.
More than ten months had passed since Zheng Gui became a disciple of Hengshan. Although he was young, due to the gender differences, he was still placed in a guest room on the west side of Jianxing Peak. He did not have to go to the hotel with his fellow seniors every day.
In the morning class, I only have to go to Wose Temple to see my teacher every three days, and my teacher will personally check on my progress in my lessons.
Master Cixin knows that the Hengshan Sect has always been low-key and non-controversial. It is also at the bottom of the Wuyue Sword Sect. Even the Jianghu sect is not well-known. Apart from some grudges against the Sun and Moon God Sect, there are no enemies or enemies in the world.
Therefore, Zheng Gui's visit to become a disciple must not be a conspiracy among traitors, and with the new leader of the Songshan sect at the front, the demon sect would not go to great lengths to send a young man here to engage in any conspiracy.
Moreover, Master Cixin and Zheng Gui had a few confrontations and knew that this son's Buddhist cultivation was extraordinary. His occasional words were words that only a great monk could understand. They were also very inspiring to him, which was by no means ordinary.
man of.
She believed that no one in the world could cultivate such a person. Perhaps he was the reincarnation of a great virtuous monk or someone like the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. Other than that, there was no more suitable reason.
It was precisely based on this point that Master Cixin personally included Zheng Gui's disciples and classified him as his direct disciple.
There is no rule against accepting male disciples in the Hengshan Sect. In the past, if we didn’t accept male disciples, we just didn’t want to cause trouble, and we were worried about ruining our reputation. Now when a great master comes to reincarnate and come to the sect, most of the sect’s success will fall on this boy, so why not accept him?
