After Chen Huiming said that, he knelt down and bowed down. He heard Xia Lu say: "We are all brothers, we must not mess up our seniority." Chen Huiming insisted: "Why not? If you practice Buddhism, you can be my master."

!" His knees bent, and he really wanted to kneel down, but he felt two gentle forces in his arms holding him up, and he couldn't kneel down.

He looked up and saw Xia Lu sitting cross-legged, with his palms on his knees, the palms facing him. He had no doubts anymore, and knew that it was Xia Lu who stopped him from kneeling, and thought to himself: "Haha, it turns out you were the one who did the trick just now, no?

Let me grab the firewood. Whatever, I still don’t believe that I can’t kneel down today!”

Determined to fight once, he knelt down with all his strength. Just as his knees were about to touch the ground, Xia Lu gently pushed him with his palms and immediately lifted him up. Chen Huiming had no ability to resist. His face was filled with tears.

Blush, standing dumbly under the boulder.

Xia Lu smiled and said: "I just have more enlightenment. Given time, you can also realize the Buddha nature." Seeing Chen Huiming's silence, he asked: "Where are you going?"

Chen Huiming sighed, forget it, forget it, his martial arts skills are far inferior to others, why should he fight for the cassock. As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly went blank, and he murmured: "When you meet Yuan, you stop, and when you meet Meng, you stay." After that, he got on the horse.

He turned his back, cupped his hands and said goodbye.

The three of them chopped firewood and returned to the temple. Xia Lu went to the kitchen to busy himself. Jiao Huiqing was competing with several young warrior monks under a tall cypress tree. He was sitting in the crowd, crossing his legs triumphantly.

I just heard him smile and say: "Practice hard and challenge me again in two years. Hehe, I'm very famous on Xiangnan Road. It's not shameful for you to lose to me."

Chen Ziang and Zhou Meier did not disturb his interest and returned to the room. Chen Ziang thought to himself: This Sutra of Internal Scenery is indeed a Taoist treasure. I am afraid that if I continue to study, there will be unexpected gains. So I seize the time to concentrate on practicing without mentioning it.

Chen Zi'ang and Chen Zi'ang helped Xia Lu chop wood for several days, but they still didn't wait until Huineng returned to the temple. As they were preparing to go out to chop wood, a young monk hurried through the courtyard gate and shouted: "The abbot asked you to go to the Dharma Hall quickly."

Xia Lu said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" The young monk shook his head and said, "I don't know, there are several court officials outside the mountain gate." Xia Lu followed the young monk to the mountain gate.

Sure enough, there were several tall and strong people waiting under the cypress tree inside the mountain gate. One of them was Chen Huiming. He was still dressed in armor and had a long sword around his waist. Seeing Xia Lu coming, he cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Walker, I'm here today.

But not for the cassock."

He pointed at a group of people, all of whom were martial arts people carrying weapons. There was only one person who was dressed as a military general and looked to be of a lower rank than Chen Huiming, but Chen Huiming treated him with great respect and said: "This is the imperial envoy Feng Xiaobao and Feng Xiaowei who went south under the imperial edict."

.”

Xia Lu said nonchalantly: "People from the mountains of Xia Lu, how can I bother the capital to visit you?" Chen Huiming smiled and said: "Xia Lu, you had two strong hands to help you that day, and I can't do anything to you. Don't show off today.

All of them are outstanding figures."
