Chapter 5 Coiling Dragon Mountain 2
Pharmacist Li was climbing high and looking around, facing the long flow of Jichuan River, looking at the prosperity of the fruits; admiring the gentle spring breeze and listening to the mournful chirping of hundreds of birds; unexpectedly, he suddenly heard that the mournful chirping of hundreds of birds was faintly mixed with the murmuring of Sanskrit chants. . His mind was trembling and he listened attentively, but all he could hear was the chirping of birds and the waves of pine trees coming from the dense shade.
He thought to himself that it was also a mystery to listen to the pine waves as Sanskrit chants. At that moment, his mind became more cheerful and open, and he walked towards the pine forest.
The rustling pine waves were originally like large pieces of puffing air, flying through the air softly. Walking a few feet towards the pine forest, the sound of the wind became louder and louder, gradually becoming like thousands of voices singing in harmony.
Before arriving at the pine forest, the sound of the wind was already like the howling of thousands of orifices, like the hundreds of orifices of a big tree. It screamed, sucked, screamed, and howled. The former was as high as a small string slicing, while the latter was as low as a big string.
Pharmacist Li was dressed in white, and his scarf was fluttering in the pine wind.
When we entered the pine forest, the sound of the wind faded away, and the scarf fell quietly, no longer fluttering.
It seems that the thick shade that covers the sky actually blocks the sound of the waves and the wind outside the forest!
However, just when the echo of the wind in Li Yaoshi's ears had not completely subsided, he unexpectedly heard the murmuring of Sanskrit singing again.
At this time, the chanting was still vague, but it was very real. It was definitely not a misunderstanding of Song Tao.
Pharmacist Li listened attentively. Who knew that it was okay not to listen? When he heard it, he couldn't help being surprised.
The murmured sound and rhyme were clearly Sanskrit chants, but the words were not Namo Buddha's name, but actually Han Gaodi (Great Wind Song).
(Song of the Great Wind) It should have been full of majesty, high spirits, and full of ambitions to "take the world as its own responsibility"; however, when it entered Sanskrit music, it seemed weak and useless.
Medicine Master Li was heartbroken after hearing this. He couldn't help but draw his sword, sang the song of the strong wind, and danced with the sword.
The song says:
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying
Weijiahai returns to his hometown
And the warriors are here to guard the four directions
Li Yaoshi danced three times in one dance. The more he danced, the more impassioned he became, until the heaven and earth changed color and the mountains and rivers moved.
After three dances, he still had not finished his thoughts, so he followed the tune of "Great Wind Song" and became a dance again.
The song says:
Standing tall and looking around
The neon shines and the rainbow flies
Sigh, the three armies return triumphantly
Li Yaoshi hoped that his uncle Han Qinhu would win the battle and return to the north as soon as possible, so he naturally composed his thoughts into a song.
He sang and danced at the same time. After dancing three times, he danced three more times.
When he was completely happy, he put away his sword, calmed down his mind, and slowly followed the sound of Sanskrit chants and looked along the pine forest.
But in the distance, between the giant pines and on the bluestone, I saw an extremely old monk sitting in lotus position and a middle-aged monk standing next to him.
Pharmacist Li was surprised that such a distant Sanskrit chant could reach his ears, but all he heard was that the old monk had already asked: "Did Tan Yue hear the (Great Wind Song)?"
The old monk's voice was not loud, but he was a hundred feet away from Pharmacist Li, so every word he spoke sounded sonorous in his ears.
Seeing the elder's question, Medicine Master Li hurriedly stepped forward to salute and respectfully responded: "When I heard the great monk singing Han Gao Di (Great Wind Song), I couldn't help but sing and dance with my sword. I didn't dare to disturb the great monk's Qingxiu. Please invite me." Monk, forgive me."
The old monk was described as haggard and his back was rickety, but he was actually very old. He sat in the shade of pine trees, as quiet as a rock.
Unless he spoke, it was impossible to know for sure whether he was still alive.
He had his eyes hanging behind the curtains, but now he looked up at Pharmacist Li, but they were piercing and bright: "No, I am reciting the Lankavatara Sutra, and monks don't sing (The Great Wind Song)."
Li Yaoshi was surprised: "Isn't that what the great monk sang (The Great Wind Song)?"
The old monk said: "That's right. What I recited was the Lankavatara Sutra, and what Tan Yue listened to was (Song of the Great Wind)." The old monk paused for a moment, softly recited the Buddha's name, and said slowly: "Look at Tan Yue's swordsmanship, and how he interacts with the old monk.
An old friend is very similar. Does Tan Yue recognize Huayangzi?"
Pharmacist Li was even more frightened and replied respectfully: "Hua Yangzi is the ancestor of our family. It turns out that the great monk has an old relationship with our ancestor. I wonder if I dare to ask for the name of the monk? It would be better for the younger generation to report back to my master."
Li Yaoshi came from a well-established family and learned from liberal arts. He also studied under the Huayang lineage.
The old monk smiled and said: "When I saw your respected master, I said my greetings from the divine light of my old friend from Luoyang."
Pharmacist Li immediately knelt down and bowed down, repeating the greeting ceremony: "Junior Sanyuan Pharmacist Li, please see Master Shenguang."
Master Shenguang bowed tall and said: "Tan Yue, please take a seat."
Li Yaoshi saw another piece of bluestone under the stone of Shenguang's throne. He first bowed to the middle-aged monk beside Shenguang and greeted each other, then went over and sat cross-legged on the bluestone. Shenguang said: "I just met Tan Yue.
Wu (Great Wind Song), I know that Tan Yue has gained the master's true biography, I am happy and congratulated."
Li Yaoshi said: "I dare not." He was silent for a moment, but finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Juniors are ignorant, dare to ask the master, why is it that the master recited the "Large Sutra", but the juniors listened to "The Great Wind Song"?"
Shen Guang smiled slightly: "This "Lenga Sutra" is a Zen treasure. It aims to clarify the mind and see nature, and it directly points to the human heart, so it is listened to and recited. What Tan Yue heard was his own "heart fast", not what Lao Mon was singing."
When Medicine Master Li heard the word "xinzhai", his heart moved. It turns out that "xinzhai" is a process of Taoist practice. Only by adhering to "xinzhai" can one achieve the state of "sitting and forgetfulness" as mentioned in Zhuangzi.
The Huayang Zizong Taoist family has naturally taught these principles to its disciples.
However, this Master Shenguang is a senior Buddhist, how come he talks about "Xin Zhai"?
He was pondering in his mind and heard the divine light say again: "The three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are essentially interconnected. If we forcefully divide them into factions, we will inevitably limit ourselves. "Zhuangzi" calls "Xin Zhai", "Sitting"
"Forget", in my Buddhist school, it is what the "Diamond Sutra" calls "no self, no person, no sentient being, no lifespan". The reason why I can associate with the respected master is because there is no door view in each other's hearts."
Although Hua Yangzi was a Taoist, he was also a general commentator and Confucian scholar, and he often warned his disciples not to talk nonsense about the differences between sects.
At this time, Medicine Master Li listened to the words of the divine light, and felt that they were in line with his own wishes. He immediately bowed and said, "I have inherited the teachings of the master, and the younger generation will learn from them."
Shen Guang smiled and said: "Tan Yue does not need to be too humble. Lao Na's "Lengjia Sutra" was spoken, and Tan Yue's (Great Wind Song) was heard. This shows that Tan Yue regards the world as his own responsibility, and his ambition is still as great as that of Pei Gong!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yaoshi was shocked.
"Pei Gong" is Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. "Pei Gong's ambition is not diminished." Doesn't it mean that he has the ambition of the world?
Fortunately, there was no one else around at that time. When Li Yaoshi felt that he had no one in his heart and didn't know how to deal with it, Shen Guang raised his right hand and said, "Tan Yue, don't worry, I don't have any other intentions."
When Shen Guang raised his hand, the sleeves of his robe were fluttering, and Medicine Master Li suddenly discovered that his left sleeve was empty.
