Chapter Sixteen

In a distant country in the West, there is a kind of sardine that the locals love to eat, but the sardines do not like to move, and they often die when transported from the sea to the dock. Dead fish are not worth the money, and only the living fish can be sold at high prices. Later, a fisherman put the catfish into the fish tank, and the sardines will swim constantly when they get nervous, and they will still lively after returning to the dock. Therefore, the fisherman quickly became rich and rich.

After Xu You brought Ye Min to the fruit forest, he told him this story. Ye Min knew in his heart that the task at this stage was to become this catfish. But the catfish must be stronger than the sardines, otherwise, it will not only not be driven away, but will also be eaten by the fish.

The intensity of Zhenhai has been practicing in recent months far exceeds that of Cuiyu Camp. Fortunately, the soldiers Xu You assigned him were all talented soldiers from one hundred miles away. They were agile and amazing. They also made Zuo Tu and Qingming two young masters as instructors, personally taught martial arts and various strange skills. They were skilled in swords and guns, accurate arrows and crossbows, good at hiding, climbing, and swimming. They were the most special special forces of this era.

Of course, Ye Min's army will not be really called the Black Robe Army, the official number is Zhenhaidu!

Yidu Zhenhai, you can imagine what Xu You expects of them!

Since then, the offensive and defense dispute between Zhenhai and Cuiyu Camp has become the norm. From time to time, night attacks, or harassment in broad daylight, and even once in the martial arts field, Zhenhai rushed in from behind... Both sides were doing everything, and everyone entered a wartime state, from panic at the beginning, to when they heard the orders, their vigilance and reaction were all greatly improved, and compared to the previous qualitative transformation. The victory-loss ratio between the two sides gradually changed from 8 to 0 to 8 to 1, 10 to 2. Later, it was difficult for Zhenhai to invade the camp. Even if they barely break through the defense, they had to retreat quickly, otherwise they would be wrapped in dumplings and wiped out the entire army.

The rescue operation of the Winter Solstice is coming to an end. In four months, her footprints were spread across the seven states. She fought wits and courage with the Sili Mansion, which damaged many people, but she also safely rescued more than 270 monks. The other 40 people on the list were either willing to die to protect the ultimate Dharma, or they were old and unwilling to stay away, or there was an accident in the process. However, based on the final result, the rescue led by the Secretariat was very successful, and at the same time, the first secret residence accumulated a lot of experience and lessons, which was of great significance.

The last ones were Zhu Wulu and Zhu Wuchen and other monks from Benwu Sect who fled from Jinling to Jingzhou. Xu You was waiting at the foot of Mingyu Mountain. He saw everyone's carriages from afar and immediately met them.

“Great Vibhasa!”

When Zhu Wuchen and Xu You and Jinling met, they had been promoted to the junior master. When they met today, they had improved their cultivation. They had originally practiced to the state of copper and iron bones, but now they look soft and loose, and they have endless wonderful ways to return to nature.

But no matter what, the fanaticism and respect in Xu You's eyes have never changed for many years. He bent his knees to show his disciples' respect, and then stood behind obediently, as if he was following Xu You's side and side.

Zhu Wulu walked out of the ox cart, leaned against the carriage, looked down at Xu You. His face reflected the evening sunset, and there seemed to be a light flowing in the vertical marks of the knife. He chuckled, "Langjun Xu, I didn't expect to meet again in Qiantang!"

Xu You suddenly realized that Zhu Wulu had entered the state of thought!

There are five realms of Wuluo, including abandonment, thought, wisdom, happiness, and one mind. Zhu Wuluo has abandoned his skin and then established himself. After entering the realm of Wuluo, he recovered his martial arts. After learning that Zhu Daorong died and the Buddhist sect was completely destroyed, he stepped into the mountain gate of the realm of Mind when he was thinking hard, and he was only one step away from the little master.

However, he never changed his words to call Xu You the Great Vibhasha, which is very interesting!

The monks were all placed in several courtyards near the top of the mountain in Xuanji Academy. There was only one mountain road to the passage down the mountain, with cliffs and steep slopes on both sides and behind. As long as the courtyard gate was guarded, no one could enter and exit at will. The first one took the initiative to bring the familiar environment later, wait for the vegetarian meal to be prepared, and the monks sat in an orderly manner while the moonlight was taken to fill the yard with food. Since all the sect leaders of the six families and seven sects died, among Zhu Daorong's disciples, Zhu Fati and Zhu Fashi were the only ones in the Fa generation. Zhu Daorong has always been interested in cultivating Zhu Wulu as the next sect leader, and he has the name of a Buddhist son, so Zhu Wulu is respected among the guests and stayed next to Xu You. Zhu Wuchen did not have the sect awareness of being a little master, and sat obediently in the crowd at the lower head, waiting for the meal.

During the meal, he was very silent. Zhu Fati was over 50 years old and could not do martial arts. After so many tragedies, he looked old. After a few mouthfuls of rice, he was tired and could not even open his eyes. How could he still have the energy to socialize with Xu You? Zhu Fashi and the Winter Solstice and Qingming were on the boat behind. He had not arrived in Qiantang at this time. Others were either unfamiliar or had insufficient identity. After all, only Zhu Wulu and Xu You smiled and said a few words.

After halfway through the banquet, Xu You suddenly heard intermittent sobs. Xu You looked up and saw a middle-aged monk in his thirties next to Zhu Wuchen. He was carrying vegetarian dishes and delivered them to his mouth. He couldn't help but think of the monks who died tragically. He couldn't help but feel sad and choked up, "Since the rise of Buddhism, many great monks in all dynasties have worked hard to set up statues and practice the way here. For more than a hundred years, I have experienced all the hardships and hardships, and the Dharma will prosper. Even the waves are lined with rows, the pagodas are lined with gold and spiritual combinations, and the Guangdian and Afang are strong. What a grand occasion? But to look back at Jiangdong tonight, there are broken tiles and ruins everywhere, the statues of scriptures are burned by karma fire, and the monks die in swords and weapons. We are in panic all day long. We all say that the Dharma is coming, which will inevitably lead to the Dharma decline. The monks are turbid and chaotic. How can they still have leisure and ecstasy to the moon?"

One monk was so sad that all the monks cried.

The crying spread from afar and disappeared among the mountains. Xu You remained silent. Zhu Wulu sighed softly: "It is time to be the last disaster, and the Dharma fortune is drooling, and tears are falling from pain. It is definitely not any dissatisfaction with Mr. Xu. I hope to forgive you."

"The mage speaks seriously!"

Xu You nodded, expressed his understanding, then grew up, his eyes swept over these bereaved parents and walked slowly between the food table, saying: "When the Buddha was alive, it was called the Dharma, which was five hundred years; after the Buddha's Nirvana, some great disciples were still there, it was called the Dharma, which was one thousand years; later, there were few people who were dull and believed in Buddhism, and even gradually became successful in the Three Vehicles, and there were very few people who achieved faith. All those who practice worldly meditation, develop all kinds of karma, and know their fates, then there were no other things. For this ten thousand years, it was called the Dharma! However, you know this, and do not know the reason. The Dharma-Ending does not mean that the Dharma does not exist, but that no one can practice Buddhism in peace, be confused by the heretics, explain the meaning, the five turbidities, the season, save women, Buddha's bowl, false substitution, break precepts, argue, and damage the Dharma, so they cannot realize the truth, and cannot achieve the right result. Even the Buddha admitted that the Dharma actually did not fall..."

The monk who had cried before stood up tremblingly, wiped away the tears, and said respectfully: "Great Vibhasha, the disciples are confused!"

Xu You stopped in front of him and said warmly: "Please speak, I will try to solve the problem for the master!"

"The Sutra of the End of Dharma, the Sutra of the Same Sex, the Sutra of the Dharma Garden, the Sutra of the Divination of Good and Evil Karma, the Mahamaya Sutra, etc., the Tripitaka Twelve Divisions records too many discussions about the Dharma-Ending Age. However, the Great Vibhasha said that the Buddha did not think there was the Dharma-Ending Age, so he dared to ask..." He hesitated for a while, as if he felt that it was rude to question the Great Vibhasha in public, but he still asked, and said, "Which sutra is from which sutra?"

"From the "Avatamsaka Sutra of the Great Blessing Buddha"!"

"The Avatamsaka Sutra?"

The "Avatamsaka Sutra" was translated into a volume after Tanchen passed through the south and was locked in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion of Benwu Temple by Zhu Daorong after years of transit. However, there are only sixty volumes, which are many missing and omissions compared to the eighty volumes of "Avatamsaka Sutra" that were successfully completed by Wu Zetian in later generations. However, although there are missing volumes, it is also the "Avatamsaka Sutra", known as the king of the sutra, but is still above the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Lotus Sutra", which is also the "Book of the Sutra".

After this sutra was translated, the meaning of the Dharma Master Sutra is more grand and exquisite than that of Prajna, and there are some differences and contradictions, or they are afraid that the "Avatamsaka Sutra" will be popular and overshadowed the limelight of the six schools and seven sects, so they were wrapped up by Zhu Dao. Except for the monks who have not been born in the original sect, there are very few who have read it.

More importantly, the "Avatamsaka Sutra" was buried for many years in India, and it was later promoted by Nagarjuna Bodhisattva and gradually became known to the world. What truly promoted the "Avatamsaka Sutra" was the pursuit of the East Buddhism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the successive annotations and preachings by eminent monks of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the prosperity was still the same.

However, at this time, only Xu You knew the importance of the "Avatamsaka Sutra" after Tanchen and Zhu Daorong died!

"Yes! It is the "Avatamsaka Sutra"! This sutra is the second seven days after the Buddha's enlightenment. It was the method of self-realization preached by the superior Bodhisattvas such as Manjushri and Samantabhadra under the Bodhi tree. It is the fundamental teaching in the teachings, so it is called the original teaching of nature, also known as the First Avatamsaka Sutra. Those who understand this sutra can understand the origin, distinguish the emptiness of form, approximate the three natures, show the formlessness, talk about the non-birth, discuss the five teachings, summarize the ten mysteries, encompass the six aspects, achieve Bodhi, and enter Nirvana, and can be called the three honorifics."

The middle-aged monk asked in surprise: "Where does this sutra come to?"

Xu You turned his head and looked at Zhu Wulu. Zhu Daorong ordered them to evacuate from Jinling first. Naturally, if there was a failure and the intention of preserving monk's classics, the "Avatamsaka Sutra" should be carried with you.

Zhu Wu said, "The Huayan Sutra has a total of sixty volumes, so safe and sound!"

"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged monk was so excited that he realized that he had lost the Buddha's heart when he woke up. He hurriedly put his hands together and said, "The little monk's heart has no wisdom. I wonder if he can read the "Avatamsaka Sutra"?"

In front of everyone, Zhu Wulu could not refuse and smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhi is worried, why don't I suggest that all the collections of the six schools and seven sects gather together, called the Hundred Thousand Sutra Tower. All monk disciples, regardless of whether they are sect or sect, can enter to study and practice!"

Everyone praises good.

Zhi is already full of confidence in Xu You and said devoutly: "Please continue to solve the doubts of Great Vibhasha!"

"Why is the Buddha said that there is no Dharma-Ending End? Because Buddhism is eternal, unchanging, neither born nor destroyed, nor increasing or decreasing. The Dharma-Ending End only because the collection and Buddha statues were destroyed by the heretics, and the demons sneaked into the heart lake and lured the monks to break the precepts, causing the wonderful Dharma of the Tathagata to be seen in the text. But to such a terrible point, the Dharma still exists, and sentient beings have Buddha nature. Besides, it is far from the time of the Dharma-Ending End, at least the Three Collections of the Book are still there, and you are there too..." Xu You changed his tone and said, "Must be,

You all know that Bodhi is the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known as the "first of emptiness". He also said that if someone reads this sutra and studies that sutra in the Dharma-Ending Age, he can reach the state of faith, understanding and upholding like the great disciples of the Buddha. The person he mentioned is the first rare existence mentioned in the Diamond Sutra. The first rare existence is to transcend the ordinary and become a saint; the first rare existence is almost equivalent to the Buddha. There are sentient beings with Mahayana nature and believe in the Buddha's secrets and the great perfect enlightenment mind. So, what is this secret?"

Xu You was not angry and was powerful. The bright moon shone on his body, the galaxy hangs on the wilderness, like the heaven and earth standing together, pointing to the monks, saying, "The secret is in your heart!" This is one of the classic quotes of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism. He borrowed it to show off, and it was appropriate.

The sound of knees and legs colliding with the food table sounded in the yard. The monks stood up in a hurry, and countless eyes lingered on Xu You's face, as if light was shining there.

"The Dharma, like the Dharma and the Dharma-Ending Age, are all different. The Dharma that truly saves people will never disappear, and the Dharma will not end. The Dharma will not end. The last one is the human heart. If your ordinary mind is not dead, you will always be in the Dharma-Ending Age. Even if you encounter true Buddhism, you will pass by it." Xu You spitted a lotus flower and established a verse, saying: "The Dharma is in the world, and it will not be separated from the world's awakening. Looking for Bodhi after leaving the world is just like seeking the horn of the rabbit." He made up his mind to plagiarize the famous quotes of the Sixth Patriarch to the end.

thump!

Zhixian knelt down, his forehead pressed against the bluestone, and Xu You stroked his head with his hand, saying, "All monks have a rare human body and a difficult Buddhist teachings to hear. People can spread the Tao, but not the Tao promotes people. If you can enter monks in this life and practice Buddhist scriptures, you must have had a connection with the Buddha during the Dharma and the Dharma, and have planted good roots by the Buddha. In this troubled times, as long as my monk disciples stop evil and practice good, accumulate merits and virtues, protect the Dharma, and practice diligently, they will surely pass on the torch of the Dharma and live in the world for a long time, and there will be no Dharma-Ending."

The monks knelt down one after another and shouted loudly "Da Vibhasha". Zhixian looked up at Xu You's figure, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, and tears fell like rain.
Chapter completed!
