Once upon a time there was a mountain, a temple in the mountain, and a young monk in the temple.
The young monk Hui Ran was abandoned at the foot of the mountain when he was a child. It was the old monk in the temple who picked him up and raised him on the mountain. The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening have nurtured a young and mature young monk who has no desires and desires.
One day, Hui Ran went to cut firewood at the foot of the mountain. When he returned, he went to the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain to ask for water. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a girl, a female Taoist priest to be precise. She held a bouquet of brightly colored flowers in her arms, and the petals were scattered on Hui Ran's spotless monk's robe.
Hui Ran quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
But the girl blocked his way with a pretty and bright face, stared at him and said: "Little Master, has anyone ever said that you are very handsome?"
Hui Ran only felt red in the face. The master said that if the Zen mind is firm, no matter how offensive others say, he will remain unmoved. This shows that his Zen mind is still not firm enough.
How could he have imagined that this day would be the beginning of the collapse of his Zen heart.
She said her name was Huan Ying. It was strange why her names sounded so colorful.
The female Taoist priest did not have a Taoist mind, but instead induced the young monk to lose his Buddha mind. The young monk, who had nothing to lose, learned to love, hate, anger, and foolishness. They made an appointment to escape to the mountain together at night and become an ordinary couple.
Hui Ran waited at the foot of the mountain all night with great joy. Instead of waiting for Huanying, the old monk did.
The old monk took him back to the temple and gave him two ways: to confess his mistakes in front of the Buddha and never go down the mountain again for the rest of his life, or to receive fifty sticks, roll down the mountain, and never be allowed to enter Buddhism again.
Hui Ran said that he wanted to return to secular life.
When he climbed down the mountain with his body injured, he met the married daughter of the Pei family in Hedong. He watched Huan Xiu, dressed in wedding clothes, holding a round fan and passing in front of him to marry someone else. She persuaded him to cherish the past, but she herself realized Lan Yin early.
Hui Ran entered the secular world, found his family, and the young monk who gave up his Buddhist name became Xie Yunfeng, the eldest son of the Xie family in Chen County.
He put down the prayer beads and scriptures and picked up the sword and the art of war.
In this troubled world, Buddha cannot save hundreds of millions of living beings, but a man standing on a high place with a sword can. He wants to be the one who saves others.
On the day the city fell, Xie Yunfeng met Huan Ying again in a Buddhist hall in the enemy's capital. At that time, he was a general and she was a prisoner of war; he picked up the sword and she recited the sutra.
He raised her chin with the blood-stained sword and said coldly: "You have six impure roots and are not worthy of practicing Buddhism. Staying here will only blaspheme the gods."
Huan Ying lowered her eyes, "Then where does General Xie think I should go?"
"Go to my house."
"General Xie, don't forget, I am already his wife."
"I have already killed him, so you should be a new widow now."
