The next morning, when Wu Ming was doing morning exercises in the courtyard, a tall, fat monk with an innocent face arrived. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
"Master Huineng, you look good!"
Wu Ming said hello calmly as if the previous incident had not happened.
"Donor Wu, please stop joking. I am a poor monk who has been punished, and I am here to lead the way for the benefactor!"
Hui Neng scratched his head naively, his eyes full of helplessness and no hatred.
But when he walked, his movements were quite strange, and his face was bloodless. It was obvious that he had taken the command seriously!
"Okay, master, wait a moment!"
Wu Ming nodded and finished practicing a set of Youlong Fist. Then he stopped and stood quietly for a dozen breaths.
I went back to the house, washed my face, put my luggage on my back, and the kitten lay on it, and followed Huineng all the way to the mountain behind Chuzu Temple.
Along the way, the monks I met saw Wu Ming from a distance and scurried away like a snake or a scorpion.
Even if he can't avoid it, he will hold the gift in one hand, lower his head and recite Buddhist scriptures silently, pretending not to see it.
Even the old sweeping monks who were familiar with each other on weekdays shook their heads slightly from a distance, with no intention of getting closer!
Wu Ming was not surprised by this. Hundreds of monks were punished and their skins and flesh were torn apart by beatings. You can still see the monks limping and groaning while walking.
If you don’t get splashed with foot-washing water or scolded while walking on the road, you can already consider the Shaolin monks to be extremely well-educated!
"Thank you, Donor Wu, for your mercy!"
On the way, Huineng suddenly bowed deeply and solemnly.
"You don't blame me?"
Wu Ming's gaze was profound, implying the meaning of inquiry.
"The donor is not at fault, so how can he be blamed?"
Huineng said calmly.
"Hahaha!"
Taking a deep look at Huineng's pale, fat face, Wu Ming looked up to the sky and smiled.
Woohoo!
The kitten suddenly jumped on his shoulder, and the tiger's eyes were filled with surprise, as if asking why the owner let him get close to Huineng.
"The donor's heart towards the Tao is very strong, and a poor monk is not as strong as that!"
Huineng touched the top of the kitten's head nonchalantly and said.
"Master, do you know that I once said something to Shenxiu?"
Wu Ming asked.
"After the wine and meat passed through the intestines, the Buddha sat in my heart! The benefactor has deep roots of wisdom and should be my destined person to the Buddha!"
Huineng said solemnly.
"Master has Buddha in his heart, why should he care about it?"
Wu Ming asked again.
"Hahaha!"
Huineng scratched his bald head and hesitated for a long time. Then he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed like Wu Ming.
However, his laughter seemed quite weird!
…
Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, like tourists, relaxed and comfortable, until they reached a mountain that was not very tall!
"Is this Siguoya?"
Wu Ming stopped and watched, and found that at first glance, it was only a hundred feet high, and when he looked at it again, it seemed to be towering into the clouds. When he looked carefully, it was back to a hundred feet high, giving people a very weird feeling!
"Donor Wu, the place where Uncle Shenxiu is facing the wall is over here!"
Huineng pointed in a direction halfway up the mountain.
"No hurry, let's take a walk first!"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and said.
"ah?"
Huineng was puzzled, but he didn't say much and followed his instructions.
"Haha, I heard that Siguo Cliff is where the monks who violate the precepts face the wall, and there is also a place of retreat. I think they are all enlightened monks."
Wu Ming smiled.
"But……"
Huineng wanted to say, didn’t you come to see Shenxiu today?
"I didn't say that I must see Shenxiu now. It's not easy for me to come here. If I don't pay my respects, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Wu Ming shrugged.
"Amitabha!"
Huineng smiled bitterly and could only repay the Buddha's name.
It has long been common for Wu Ming to act rashly, and he is a master who does not listen to advice, so he can only let it go.
Anyway, I’m just strolling around Siguoya, as long as I don’t cause trouble in the temple, that’s fine!
This is what Hui Xing specifically asked before leaving!
"Sweeping monk, sweeping monk, here I come!"
As everyone knows, what Wu Ming is thinking about in his heart is not Shenxiu, but a rumor he heard about Si Guo Cliff.
In front of Jiazi, a haggard old monk suddenly appeared in front of Siguo Cliff. He had been sweeping the stone steps for decades.
It's just that it's been so long that no one knows who he is, and even those who know are keeping it secret.
No one knows that Wu Ming came to Shaolin with the purpose of obtaining the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", but also had another thing on his mind!
It was thanks to the mysterious one-legged Buddha that Tianlao and his party became associated with Buddhism more than half a year ago!
Not only that, but also uses Buddhist initiation techniques to teach the Yi Jin Sutra and the legendary Buddhist flower - Udumbara flower!
There is also a mysterious Buddhist scripture that is still unclear and has never even appeared again!
Such various Buddhist connections were the basis for Wu Ming to abandon the Tridacna Buddha beads and act openly and recklessly in the Shaolin Temple!
Whether it is the "Yi Jin Jing", or Buddhist flowers, or mysterious Buddhist scriptures, it can be said to be a gold medal to avoid death!
According to secret correspondence with Gu Zhengyang afterwards, it was revealed that the Buddha appeared in Tianlao just before Jiazi!
"Where is it? Where is it?"
After wandering on the rugged mountain road for half a day, Wu Ming kept thinking about the mysterious sweeping monk.
Huineng followed him all the way, showing no sign of impatience. Instead, he carefully told Wu Ming which eminent monks had once faced the wall or gone into retreat in various caves on the cliff.
Wu Ming, who had something on his mind, didn't even notice, or maybe didn't care, how could Huineng, who was originally a fire-headed monk, be so precious about thinking about the cliff!
In almost every cave, one can point out the past of monks who went into retreat or thought about their past mistakes. Many of them are famous eminent monks in the history of China!
When he turned several mountain roads, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a sweeping monk wearing a tattered monk's robe, with withered gray hair, and whose face could not be seen clearly.
"So it was... huh? That was..."
Before he could step forward, Wu Ming's pupils suddenly shrank like needlepoints.
At the feet of the sweeping monk, there was a man with yellow hair kneeling down. A figure flashed in his mind involuntarily!
…
Whoosh!
The mountain breeze is slightly cold, and the fallen leaves are rising, blowing the withered gray hair of the sweeping monk, revealing a withered face like a ghost!
As he got closer, Wu Ming suddenly realized that the sweeping monk was actually blind!
Where his eyes should have been, two black holes swept straight at him, making him shiver!
His skinny body seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, and his large and worn-out monk's robes rustled, but the sweeping monk stood as tall as a rock!
Even though the man with yellow hair knelt down respectfully in front of him, he still waved the broom slowly and walked slowly, just like before!
"teacher!"
Even Huineng's name when he came to pay homage did not attract his attention.
"Junior Wu Ming, I have met Zen Master!"
It wasn't until the blind monk nodded that Wu Ming came back to his senses and stepped forward to salute, but most of his attention was on the yellow-haired man who was still kneeling.
Regarding Wu Ming, the blind monk still nodded noncommittally and waved his broom mechanically.
Hui Neng stood aside respectfully, quietly pulled Wu Ming's hand, and shook his head to signal not to speak.
"Has Master accepted another disciple?"
The yellow-haired man spoke suddenly. Although it was not too loud, it still gave Wu Ming the feeling of a loud voice.
The sound reached my ears, making a buzzing sound, and I couldn't help but take a step back with a pale face!
"It's indeed him!"
Wu Ming was in a daze. He clenched his teeth tightly, held on to his concentration, and covered his heart with his right hand.
Buzz!
Longyi shook slightly, and an invisible majestic power filled his whole body, dispelling all discomfort!
"You are Wu Ming, the younger member of the Wu family!"
The yellow-haired man seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head slightly and glanced sideways.
The seemingly dull and dull eyes made Wu Ming's scalp explode, and his heart twitched. Even with Long Yi protecting him, he felt a terrifying power coming towards his face.
Under this power of God, I am as small as a small boat in the stormy waves, drifting with the current!
It's like rain and snow in the raging flames, turning into nothingness and drifting away in the transpiration, and my heart is trembling!
Fortunately, Long Yi was shaken three times in succession and was able to dispel the pressure!
But Huineng on the side didn't seem to notice it at all. He just noticed that something was wrong with Wu Ming's expression and quickly helped him.
But even the kitten seemed completely unaware, still lying lazily on the luggage.
Dodo!
At some point, the blind monk held his broom upside down and tapped the ground twice.
"Master, after I met the ancients by chance, my mind was disturbed. Please forgive me for my unintentional mistake!"
The yellow-haired man kowtowed.
"Honest mistakes are the most revealing of people's hearts!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
The blind monk seemed to look at Wu Ming slightly startled.
"Um?"
The yellow-haired man glanced over with a focused gaze.
Just at this glance, Wu Ming almost lost his mind again. He groaned and took half a step back. His face turned pale and there were bloodshot eyes at the corners of his mouth!
Only then could we see clearly the true face of the yellow-haired man. He looked about forty years old, but he showed supreme majesty and a face that had gone through many vicissitudes of life!
Dodo!
The blind monk clicked the broom in his hand again. The yellow-haired man paused slightly, stood up slowly, and stood aside with a bow.
Only then did Wu Ming realize that he was much taller and younger than the portrait he had seen in his impression, and his temperament was even more extraordinary!
Although the blind monk was as skinny as a stick of wood, the yellow-haired man who was as tall as a mountain was actually more than a step shorter!
But Wu Ming's attention was mostly focused on the yellow-haired man, and warning signs rang in his heart.
Even if the yellow-haired man didn't look at him, he always felt an invisible force squeezing him from all directions, as if he was trying to squeeze out all his energy and energy!
Weak, extremely weak, so weak that one look can kill him!
"Teacher, let the disciples come!"
Huineng stepped forward.
The blind monk said nothing and shook his head slightly.
Huineng's face showed bitterness, he lowered his head and backed away. Everything was so natural, as if he had rehearsed it countless times!
But then, Huineng seemed to remember something and looked at Wu Ming for help.
"Interesting! Call me teacher but not master!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and he circled around the two of them, took a step forward, and said respectfully, "It's difficult to look at sex. If something happens, I will do my best!"
Hearing this, Huineng was slightly startled, and the blind monk frowned slightly.
Although the two are monks, they are related to the Confucian ancestors. They can be called the holy words of enlightenment, and all learned people practice recitation.
It was from the Confucian disciples that Zixia asked the Confucian ancestors what filial piety was.
And what Wu Ming said was the first half of Confucian Ancestor’s answer!
Huineng wanted to help the blind monk sweep the floor, which was actually an act of filial piety, but Wu Ming's answer seemed a bit inappropriate!
The corners of the yellow-haired man's mouth were slightly raised, and a meaningful smile flashed away. He took a step forward and slowly bent down, showing reverence and humility!
