Chapter 2 the second part

Chaos in Chang'an (7) When I was six years old, I heard Master say to a man who knelt in front of the temple for seven days, you can only call him release.I think this sounds better. When I was seven years old, I heard Master say to a man who had knelt in front of the monastery for ten days, I was very moved, but there were not many Dharma names left, and I think the best one left was Shi Nai. The man said, "Thank you, Master, but I am a masculine man. As long as I don't use this Dharma name, I can call it whatever I want." Master said: Then there is only excrement. That person may have fainted on his knees, and he actually publicly expressed his outrageous thoughts: Master, why can the Dharma name only be two characters, three characters are also fine.

The master said: This is what my master passed down, and it is stipulated that three words cannot be used. The man said: Three words are not enough, but four words are fine. Master said: You talk too much, do you want to be called Sakyamuni? This person finally stayed in Shaolin after sweeping a spring temple, and his dharma name was Shi Nai. The master said that he likes the word "ran" the most, and the things contained in the word "ran" are the most difficult to explain clearly.He gave me the word Ran.I didn't know the meaning of such a good dharma name at the time. In fact, I prefer "Shikong". My brother also agreed with everyone to change the dharma name. But after we expressed this idea, we were both punished to kneel for a whole day and night. Master said , These are not just changed at will.These are brought by your life, you cannot exchange your life unless you exchange your life.

Chaos in Chang'an (8) As I grew up, I discovered more and more that I had functions that others did not.Martial arts in Jianghu are nothing more than this. A martial arts master can stand up to ten people, his hidden weapons are extremely accurate, and his eyesight is very good. Although he can run fast and jump high, he is not as fast as a horse and as high as a wall. He is just faster than ordinary people. So a little bit, jumping a little bit higher, and the development of martial arts will eventually focus on hidden weapons, that's all.But as long as I want, no matter how fast you move, I can see it clearly, and it's like slow motion, no matter how fast the hidden weapon is, it will take me a yawn to reach me ten feet away, so I can catch it early.But my movements of catching or dodging are also very slow in my opinion, and what Master trained is only to make my movements faster and faster.

The master said, you have been blind for three lifetimes, so you will pay it back in this lifetime. I said, how wonderful that is, how happy I am in this life. Master said: You don't know the suffering of your previous life. I said, what about my next life? Master said: I am still blind.With your ability, three lives and one reincarnation. I said, in those three hundred years, there will be another me. Master said: It's not three hundred years, it's one hundred years. Your three lives have a total of one hundred years. At that time, Master had not taught me how to divide.

Chaos in Chang'an (9) When I was seven years old, I got up at dawn and stood in the middle of the yard. I didn’t know when someone threw a broom from where. I had to keep it from falling, otherwise I would stand on my head for an hour.I am most afraid of standing on my head.When I was sweeping the yard, I couldn't lift up the dust with each broom, so I had to turn the broom back and hold it down as soon as I went down. It was very tiring to go back and forth like this. Master must have done this to make me move faster.Most of the time I thought I was very smart, but ten years later Master's words woke me up.Master said, you don't have to be so tired, if you sweep slowly each time, the dust will not rise up.

It's like this day after day, but I want to live outside the hospital.Shaolin guarded me very strictly, and there were people following me wherever I went, and there were many people.In fact, I can see clearly everything they do and every move they make. I just want to go out and play for a while, and I will come back naturally. But what did I do before I was five years old?I asked the master, and the master said that I had played enough before the age of five, and it was time to learn something. It is strange why my memory has been blank for five years. In the summer when I was seven years old, Shi Kong and I were finally allowed to take a bath outside the courtyard. The temple was on the mountain, and there was a small river not far away, and there were many jujube trees beside it.A total of thirty-one dates fell from the tree during that bath.

Chaos in Chang'an (10) Shi Kong said, do you know who I am? I said, I don't know who I am yet. Shi Kong was three years older than me. He said, we all already have high-strength martial arts. Let’s sneak down the mountain to find out who we are first, and then have some fun. I know that it is impossible to figure out my life experience in a few days, but it is true to play. I agree right away. Shi Kong said, we can't go down the mountain road, we will go down along the small river. Before everyone made a statement, they couldn't help but slumped down. While walking, they suddenly found a cave along the river.

We heard many stories in the temple, and found that the legendary characters in Jufan must have obtained the mysterious power to change their fate only in the cave. I once sighed that staying in the temple for ten years is not as good as doing it in the cave. Master said , That is the fixed number, the previous one is just the preparation before the fixed number happens, it is necessary to lead your life to the fixed number, because the fixed number is not the fixed number of your life, but the fixed number of an era, which happens to happen in a life.I said I couldn't understand it.The master said, that is to say, if you don't practice martial arts in Shaolin Temple well, it will be useless if you have ten thousand holes in front of you.

And that day, I finally saw the cave.Shi Kong was very excited and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.One of the two was already very excited, so I had to look very calm, because in the legend, the characters are seldom excited, but I finally couldn't help it, because the size of the hole and the shape of the opening were too punctual, too Legend has it.With a serious face, I ran faster than my brother. Just like in the legend, we were already unconscious before reaching the entrance of the cave. Chaos in Chang'an (11) When I woke up, I was already in the temple, and the voice of the master floated: "You have finally woken up."

I opened my eyes and asked what happened to the hole in the first sentence. Master shook his head. I asked again: how is the brother? The master said: I woke up earlier than you, and I have been standing for a whole day. My first reaction at the time was that I was still in a coma. Master said: You don't need to be punished. I said: why? Master said: It must be your idea that you entered the cave this time.But your senior brother woke up earlier than you, so he took all the blame and said he was dragging you in.In this case, I will not punish you. I said: what happened? Master said: Listen to me first, remember that you are definitely not an ordinary person, you must remember when you do things in the future, the more you feel that you must do something, you must be cautious.You are still young, so you may not understand.But you will definitely remember that when most people wake up, the first thing they say is "Where is this?" If you ask the cave first and then the brother, it means that you understand what you need to understand.And the order in your heart is also very clear.Remember that everything must follow the order in your heart.

I said: What is the first thing the brother said after waking up? Master said: I will not tell you.However, you will know in the future that the two of you cannot coexist after all. Chang'an Rebellion (12) The next day, I met Shi Kong, I still didn't understand what was the first thing he said when he woke up, he said, standing for too long, I forgot. I said, "How can I be fascinated by it?" The brother said: If I want to know how to get lost, can I still get lost. I said: I want to go to that cave again. The brother said: How to get there, this is the most strict temple among the ten temples in Jiushan, it is impossible to go out. I said: What a pity that hole. Later, I decided to go to Master to solve the problem. Master said: I also know about that cave, and I really want to tell you about it, but now is not the time. You feel bored in the monastery, so I will leave you a secret, and I will tell you about it at this time next year. The abbot laughed.After we left, the abbot said: These two children can talk for a year with one hole. One hole, one world.But being in the temple at such a young age is somewhat boring. Master said: Only with a pale childhood can one have a ruthless adulthood.The rivers and lakes must be more and more bloody, they will all be the masters of the masters, and their enemies will also be the masters, and the fight between the masters depends on who has nothing extra in their minds.One trick, one life, half tricks the heart, there are too many things in my mind, how can I not have distracting thoughts. The abbot said: I don't care about this matter. Master said: When will the rivers and lakes be unified? The abbot said: "I can't."Disunity is external turmoil, unification is internal turmoil, people are confused, what can be done.There is nothing I can do about my heart. Chang'an Rebellion (Thirteen) Nine winters. The weather is getting colder and the snow is getting thicker.There is a famine in the outside world, and thousands of people sit outside the temple every day.There were civil strife in the royal family that had nothing to do with the political power.Rumor has it that there are only a few noble concubines and empresses in the palace, but the emperor has no intention of governing the country.In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t care about governing the country. Inertia determines that the bigger the country, the longer the regime will be. It’s the same if it’s not governed. It’s the same if it’s empty for a year or two. If you can’t figure it out, add some natural disasters and a little riot in the local area. The ministries will watch the excitement and think about it. Measures are the long-term solution to governing the country.How to rescue if there is no disaster, how to calm down if there is no chaos, how to suppress bandits if there is no disaster relief, if there is no disaster relief, if there is no chaos, then the emperor will only have sex.However, the emperor of this dynasty is very powerful, and he can cause big troubles just by having sex. No one could get in and no one got infected. Although the temple is very clean, it is always lively outside. People die every day, and countless people bump into the temple gate every day. The master worries all day long whether the gate should be opened or not.It is very troublesome to do things that must be done in principle beyond the speed of the principle, and the master's contradictions are in a mess. That night, the abbot called all the people over and asked, is it open or not? I said: open! Master said: You want to take advantage of the chaos and escape. I said: I don't mean that, the people?? The people suffer, we Shaolin?? The master said: It's okay to open it, first tie this kid to the plum blossom stake. At this time, there was another knocking sound outside the door. The master said: I have been in charge of this temple for 20 years, and this is the first time I feel such heartache. The outside must have no choice but to hit the door with its head. If we don't open the door again, it will be the same as the current imperial court. At this time, there was another "bang" outside. Everyone trembled.It really takes a lot of courage to make such a big movement with the head. Someone asked: Master, could it be that Songshan sent someone to report the news? Isn't Songshan doing iron-headed magical skills? Master said: No, if you are a senior disciple, you will definitely go through the back door. Our back door is always open. At this time, there was another louder "bang" outside the door. Everyone said, it's over, it's over, it hurts. Just after finishing speaking, there was a louder "bang" outside the door. Everyone exclaimed: dead dead. The master and the abbot looked serious. There was a long silence.Suddenly, there was the loudest "bang" in history. Everyone looked relieved: he is not dead yet. The abbot said: Open the gate of the temple! The master passed on and said: The gate of the temple is ready to open.All Shaolin disciples hold wooden sticks to prevent chaos and must maintain order. Release people in batches, one hundred people at a time, and the person who hit the door with his head must be released and treated urgently. Although this is a fierce general, he is also a talent.I presided over the opening of the temple gate. After finishing speaking, everyone lined up immediately, and Shi Kong and I watched from the temple. There was a lot of voices outside, and the master looked solemn, and slowly opened the temple gate. For a moment, I saw something unexpected happen.At the same time, a voice came: The stones were too small for the last few times, and it's useless to make them bigger each time, so just use the biggest one to smash them! As soon as Master opened the door, he greeted him with a kind face. I saw chaos, the senior disciples quickly pushed the door behind me, the master fell to the ground, the hungry crowd poured in, and more than 10,000 hands and feet were waving in front of my eyes.In the panic, no one noticed that a little girl had already been pushed in through the crack of the door.The gate of the temple was then closed, with one finger still stuck in the crack of the door, Master was lifted up, and the little girl gave me a look.The girl is very beautiful, I saw her eighteen years old.Could it be that I can not only watch things in slow motion, but also associate them?As arranged, the story of the childhood sweetheart is about to happen. Master has said that everything has a certain amount, and everything never disappears. For example, all happiness is partial, and the happiness of some people will inevitably lead to the pain of some people.Therefore, happiness in the world is all about exchange. Today I finally understood what Master meant by saying that when I open the door this time, I will have a little girl as my companion, and I will be very happy. If I am happy, there must be someone suffering, and that person is Master who was smashed. I wonder why I can not only see things slow, but also what the future looks like.But I can't see the future of a thing. If I could, I wouldn't be a prophet.Can I only see a person's future appearance, or is the future already happening, just in reincarnation?I often have strange dreams at night. Master said that dreams are just a review of the future.The future has not yet happened, so how to look back.I asked Master.Master said: Because the future has not yet happened in reality, we can only look back in dreams.Everything has been arranged, you don't feel that you are arranged by us in the temple.You will be free, but you are bound by fate. Any kind of freedom is the beginning of another arrangement. Chang'an Rebellion (14) Snow melts in winter, red sun and breeze. In the end, the door was not opened again. In this weather, we should play outside.Sadness on a cloudy day is just sadness, and sadness on a sunny day is pain.Master said: I would rather all the people outside die. I said, in fact, anyone can know the future.Isn't the future all dead? Master said: No, death is the result, not the future, the future is the result before death. I said: There are so many people out there, almost half of them have already died. They are going to die anyway, and they will die if they are rescued. If the disease spreads, everyone will die together. up. Master stared at me and said: If I think so, I would have died a long time ago.You can't think like this, the more you think about it, the more you will believe it. There was no sound other than groans outside the door.Every day, we throw steamed buns outside the high wall as usual.The savings in the temple can only be used for three days. After three days, everyone has nothing to eat. I never thought that a famine and abnormal plague could last for such a long time.You can imagine that with such a breeze blowing, there should be plum blossoms all over the sky outside the wall. Chaos in Chang'an (15) The only little girl who came in during the chaos of opening day I can finally see today.Because the plague was raging outside, the little girl was locked up for ten days after entering the temple.Everyone made sure that the little girl was not sick before releasing her.In the evening, everyone discusses whether the girl will stay or not. Master hasn't spoken yet.She first said: Why don't you save others? A brother said: Do you think we picked you out of the crowd and saved you alone?You were squeezed in, an oversight. The little girl said again: Then why don't you save people? Another senior brother said, "What can I save? I'm almost starving to death." I also comforted: the food in the temple can only be eaten for two days. At that time, I felt that the so-called saving people and helping others was all a kind of pastime for me to save time. A brother said: How to deal with this little girl. Someone proposed to put it back outside the temple.Everyone objected unanimously, thinking that first of all, this is too inhumane. Shaolin Temple has already done an exaggerated way of closing the gate of the temple. Therefore, Shaolin Temple also needs to be a model, which can be used for publicity in the future.Didn't the governor say that the typical example is not one representative out of 10,000 people, but only one representative out of 10,000 people. The master said: Just leave her in the monastery. A brother also had an opinion: what should we do when we take a shower? The abbot said: "Nine mountains and ten temples in the Central Plains, this temple is the largest in scale. The temple is so big and the little girl is so small. Do you have to wash it in front of people?" The brother said: But after all, there has never been a girl in the temple for so long.It is hard for these disciples to The abbot was a little anxious, he lowered his head and asked the little girl: How old are you, little sister? The little girl said: I am eight years old. The abbot said: Do you know how you were born? The little girl said: My mother gave birth to it. The abbot asked: How did it happen? The little girl said: I don't know.Mom didn't say. The abbot said to everyone: You see she doesn't understand anything, what's your inconvenience? The abbot continued to ask: You see so many people beside you, what is the difference between them and you? The little girl said: They have that thing, but I don't have that thing. The abbot's face darkened, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".Ask: "Which thing?" The little girl said: Beads, the one hanging. The abbot didn't dare to ask any more questions, and said to us: Look, is there anyone else who is shy?Shaolin disciples have been through many winds and rains, but they are still afraid of a little girl who is not yet sensible, really. So the little girl was left behind in the temple.One day later, troubles arose. The little girl still refused to tell everyone what her original name was. Everyone felt that she could not always be called "that woman". In the evening, Master summoned many people and decided on two major issues. It can only last for two days, what to do; second, everyone give this little girl a name. Naming a little girl should not be considered a matter in this turmoil, and it should not be brought up, but everyone seems to be more interested in this matter.Recently, many people die every day, and the outside world is in dire straits, and no one can do anything, so it's better to entertain yourself. The first serious problem was discussed for about five minutes. The result of the discussion was to save some food, so that it can be used for four days, and we will study it again when it can only be used for two days.As for the second question, everyone discussed it for two full hours, and the Shaolin disciples who had always been united or seemingly united almost started fighting in front of the abbot. The situation was very intense.Finally, in this bleak season, in this chaotic era, in this suffering temple, in this sad atmosphere, this little girl was officially named "Jiyue" with everyone's longing for a better life. Chang'an Rebellion (16) I remember that Xi Le has very good cooking skills, and this talent was discovered by everyone on the second day.Although the master who is the chef in the temple is good at craftsmanship, he obviously has no passion for cooking, and lacks research and innovation in dishes. He ate green vegetables and tomatoes for a year.I hate green peppers the most, but he has green peppers in every dish.After Xi Le came to the temple, she felt that she could not help everyone, so she asked what she could do, and was sent to the kitchen. All the dishes prepared by the head chef were thrown out of the temple for relief, and hundreds of us circled around Xile's dishes. After I was full, I happened to meet Xile and said: Xile, why are there no green peppers? Xi Le said: I don't like green peppers. I said: I don't like green peppers either. I said: What do you like to eat? Xi Le said: I like to eat tomatoes, how about you? I said: I like to eat steamed buns. Xi Le said: Brother Mantou, what's your name? I said: My name is Shiran. Xi Le said: Then I will call you Brother Shi. I said: No, every creature you can see here is Brother Shi.Call me brother Ran. I asked: what do you like to do most? Xi Le said: I like washing dishes the most. I was overjoyed and said, "Brother, my bowl?? Xi Le said: No, Master said that I can't wash the dishes for you.The master asked me what I like the most, I said I like washing dishes the most, the master said, okay, from now on I will wash the bowls of the master, you can wash whoever you like, just don’t wash a bowl called Shiran, he will definitely wash you when he sees you Will let you do the dishes. I was taken aback, Master was really a prophet, and then said: Well, then you don’t need to wash my dishes, and you can’t wash dishes for him when you meet a brother named Kong. Xi Le said: Why don't you like washing dishes? I couldn't understand this question, so I replied: You are also a strange person, don't you also like to empty the toilet?You will wash the toilet in the temple later. Xi Le burst into tears and went straight to Master's room. Soon, Master came out, followed by Joy.Master said very seriously: I heard that when you first met Xi Le, you asked her to empty the toilet?In this way, you can empty the toilet for a month. This is the first crash in my life.Because I don't like to engage in hygiene and eat green peppers.And pouring the toilet is one of the most unhygienic items in hygiene.Master said to me: This is to hone your will.Only a strong will can be truly strong. I disagreed with this statement at the time. According to that, the most powerful person in this monastery is Senior Brother Shi Tong who has been in charge of emptying the toilet for a long time.I think will is just a kind of desire, and the strength of desire is the real power.For example, when I saw someone punching me at a fast speed, I could clearly see the movement of his hair, and I could see the spit stars coming towards me with a "hey" at the same time, and I found that No matter how fast the punch is, it is not as fast as the saliva star. I clearly saw it, but I couldn't dodge it.This is the pain of pain. I told Master this.Master said, you're off topic, I can't understand it at all. In short, I liberated the release barrel.From now on, I get up early every day, sweep the yard first, then empty the toilet, and then listen to the groans outside the wall.Joy wakes up as early as I do.No matter where I go, joy is always by my side... I can’t say that, it seems that I am wandering, but in fact, no matter where I go, I am also in the yard.The truth is that no matter where I sweep the floors, joy always follows me.Everyone envied me very much, and thought it was a miracle that I could have a legitimate reason to be with a girl in Shaolin Temple. Two days later, I remember that the abbot presided over another meeting. The content of the meeting was that the food we saved was only enough for two days.what to do? It was proposed to send some brothers out to forage for food.The relationship between Shaolin Temple and the imperial court has always been very good. All the food is actually distributed by the imperial court, but the situation is really difficult now. Even the county master has not eaten bird’s nest for three days. I wonder what the common people are suffering. The granary has long been empty. , The Central Plains we are in is suffering another severe disaster, so naturally there is no surplus food.Master suggested to seek help from other monasteries, saying: Now that people are panicking and diseases are raging outside, Tongguang Monastery, which has suffered a relatively better disaster recently, should have some reserves. Who wants to go there? Everyone expressed that they lived and died with the temple.The temple is where I am.Therefore, the result of this meeting is that everyone tightens their belts again, divides the food for two days into four days, and then discusses what to do after two days. Master said: This incident tells us that the central idea is that as long as one controls one's desires, what is lacking can become a lot. I said: We can report to other monasteries. Master said: It is too chaotic outside now, it is difficult to deliver letters. I said: Use pigeons, there are many carrier pigeons in the temple. Master said: eat early. I was taken aback because I had been thinking about these pigeons for a long time.But I feel that monks should not eat meat. When I was in a state of uncertainty, someone actually did it.I asked Master who is this person? The master said: It is the abbot. I was taken aback again, why didn't the abbot lead by example. Master said: A few days ago, the abbot was weak and asked for pigeon soup by name.And the rules are actually a pastime after food and clothing. If the food and clothing are not enough, do you still need to behave? Two days later.The abbot held another meeting. The content of the meeting was that the food in the temple could only be used for two days. What should we do?Halfway through the drive, news came that there was no one outside the temple.The abbot was shocked, and went up to the wall to visit himself, and found that no one was there, not even a corpse.The abbot couldn't help crying, and said, Amitabha, died really cleanly.The dead have gone, the living buried, the living will go, the dead will accompany.But how did this last one bury himself? I thought, the abbot must have eaten too many pigeons and made up too much. From this look, he knew that the city was full of food. As expected, the news came again, the emperor's warehouse was opened, and grain was distributed everywhere.Do you know how much food is in the treasury?It took three days to save the world, and only used less than half of Xiaoku's reserves.This is enough for the whole country for a week.What is the concept of a whole country, how many people?If everyone can actively unify like grabbing food, they would have changed their imperial titles long ago. I once wondered why the Chang'an granary didn't help the people when the crisis first came. It must starve to death countless people and even monks. ? In fact, any decision has been made long ago, it's just that the time is not enough.The granary opened early, and the people may not be happy about it. They feel that there is less food, and it is better to have money. After hundreds of thousands of you starve to death, the food will become gratitude.Human nature is actually a cheap word, why does a cheap person sound better than a stupid person, a stupid person, and a stupid person?Because people are cheap. All of a sudden, it seemed that there were no problems, and the famine passed. We were happy that Shaolin was finally saved, but we were sad that no one died of starvation in Wudang.So everyone suspected that they were in collusion with the court.Different people do the same thing and even use different words. We in Shaolin call it cooperation, but they call it collusion.But in the end everyone is happy.Master is also very happy.While I was happy, I asked Master a completely off-topic question: Who am I? Master said, we are all ordinary people, you are different, you have different abilities, you are THE ONE, you are the savior. I said, impossible.In my eyes, there is no joy in the world that is interesting. Master said: Yes.You have to remember that what you can say is always what was.What was was is what was.I'm talking about your future.
