The mountain breeze is gentle, like a sad cry, blowing over the mountains and plains, making the grass and trees moan!
Wu Ming walked on the stone steps without saying a word. He no longer felt relaxed and freehand when he first came here, and his heart was heavy!
"The donor doesn't have to worry about it. Since the teacher has made such a decision, it must have deep meaning!"
I don’t know whether it was because he was a monk and had a very open mind about life and death, or there was something else, but Huineng returned to his usual naive appearance early and said with relief. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
"hehe!"
Wu Ming chuckled lightly, a bit bitterly.
With his intelligence, he didn't know that the blind monk's trip had profound meaning!
Being able to repair the mysterious lotus lantern, even if it fails in the end, and it can only be done with the help of the power of the faith of all living beings, this method is truly amazing!
Even if he is not a saint, he is still the strongest existence under the holy way, bar none.
Or, it is simply an existence at the level of a holy Buddha!
But in Wu Ming's heart, he still slightly prefers the former.
After all, the blind monk's health was in very poor shape, and he could clearly see in his mind that he was swaying three steps before leaving, and that he was about to die!
Thinking of the origin of the Udumbara flower, the Buddha imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and the mysterious scriptures that are clearly visible in his soul!
There was also the ancient lion who left humbly before. Although he did not see everything clearly, it also gave Wu Ming some clues!
The Buddha passed down the Buddha flowers and scriptures after seeing the Tridacna Buddha beads, and it was also because of the Buddha flowers that the blind monk took action.
All these are consistent with Buddhist cause and effect!
After the blind monk finished his work, he walked away very freely. Even though he could see how extraordinary the lotus lantern was, he did not miss it at all.
I just want to tell Wu Ming that the cause and effect has been resolved and there is nothing more to ask for!
In this case, Wu Ming naturally found it difficult to target the blind monk and ask for the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra"!
For such a being with great wisdom, if he makes up his mind to do one thing, he can never change it, even if he is attacked by swords and axes!
As for the complex relationship between the three, it is far beyond what Wu Ming’s current status or identity can explore, and it can only be left to the future!
"Donor, after crossing this mountain road, turn another corner. The seventh cave entrance on the right is where Uncle Shenxiu faces the wall!"
After walking for half a day, Huineng pointed to the path ahead hidden among the rocks.
"I have an unkind request. I would like to ask Master Huineng to accompany me!"
Wu Ming seemed to have expected it, and said calmly without any surprise.
"Since the benefactor is visiting friends in the mountains, how can a poor monk stay by his side?"
Huineng declined politely.
"Actually, I want to listen to the two Zen debates!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"Donor, why are you so persistent?"
Hui Neng was also expecting it. He showed no signs of surprise. His expression was still naive, but his eyes suddenly had a glimmer of light.
At this moment, there was a trace of the blind monk's demeanor, as if he was wise and could see through the world.
Wu Ming was slightly surprised, then suddenly realized.
Judging from the name he gave to the blind monk, it was obvious that he had known him for quite some time. To be able to win the favor of such a hermit and eminent monk, or to follow him around, not to mention that Huineng's innocent appearance hid something extraordinary, and he was influenced by it.
, even wild animals will develop their own intelligence!
"I want to confirm my thoughts, and I ask Master Huineng to understand my obsession!"
Wu Ming insisted.
Huineng remained silent for a long time.
Although he looks simple and honest, this is due to his nature and does not mean that he is not smart enough.
On the contrary, you can often see the details that ordinary people ignore. Not to mention knowing the subtleties, at least you can see the subtleties.
In addition, Wu Ming was already familiar with his style of conduct. How could he not understand that he had other purposes for asking Hui Xing to accompany him alone?
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Wu Ming did not rush him, and just stood on the mountainside, waiting quietly.
“Please benefactors, please tell the truth!”
Huineng was silent for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Wu Ming was slightly startled, his eyes flickering, he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he was caught in the battle between heaven and man.
In the past, Huineng would never have made such a straightforward request, let alone ask more questions!
Ji Bian, like him, really doesn’t know how to answer this question!
You can't say that I come from another world, but what I saw and heard in China has many similarities with ancient China in previous generations. He wanted to find out!
The most important thing is that he really wants to know whether this is a dream or whether he is just a passerby in China and his previous life was a dream!
After all, everything in China seems to be too unreal, even if this illusion is no different from reality!
As a modern person who has received compulsory education, he is at least a materialist and has never believed in weird things.
When I first arrived, I saw all kinds of magical martial arts and came into contact with all kinds of people. What I saw and heard along the way made this idea in Wu Ming's mind become weaker and weaker.
But in the Shaolin Temple, I met Huineng and thought of the legends of ancient China in past lives. This idea seemed to be nourished and grew stronger!
Regarding Wu Ming's silence, Huineng did not urge him, but the meaning was obvious and he must give an answer!
According to his past personality, he would never be like this, but what Wu Ming did shocked him so much that he had to think deeply about it.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Ming silently grabbed a piece of green grass, reached halfway and turned back, picking up a dead leaf.
call!
The breeze blows, and the dead leaves fly away with the wind, fluttering and disappearing in the mountains and fields!
"Amitabha, poor monk understands, please!"
Hui Neng glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, and raised his hand in vain.
"Zen Master please!"
For the first time, Wu Ming changed his name to Hui Neng, with respect.
Hui Neng did not refuse, and took the lead in meandering along the stone-stepped mountain road that could only allow one person to pass.
Crossing the intersection, walking around the corners, two at a time, they paused for a moment before reaching the sixth cave entrance, and then led Wu Ming to the seventh cave entrance.
"Amitabha, I said goodbye that day. Unexpectedly, a year has passed. How is Donor Wu lately?"
Before reaching the cave, Shenxiu's clear, ethereal and unique voice came.
"Haha, compared to you living in the open air, it's naturally much better!"
Wu Ming smiled lightly.
"Since we know that the young monk is sleeping in the open, can the donor give him a vegetarian meal?"
Shen Xiu Dao.
"Easy to say!"
Wu Ming didn't hesitate, he took out a meat bun and threw it in.
"Why!"
A sigh came from the cave, followed by the sound of rustling footsteps, and a thin figure walked out of the dark cave entrance.
Fengshen's handsome face remains the same, even when he sighs with a slight frown, he can't conceal his elegant and graceful temperament.
This is the divine show of ‘the clock of creation is beautiful, the yin and yang cut off the dusk’!
Just like when we first met a year ago, there is no change, only more calm and precious*!
Compared with Shenxiu's extraordinary temperament, Huineng, who is wide and fat and has a naive face, seems rather inconspicuous.
But Wu Ming instinctively felt that although Shenxiu was looking at him, after arriving outside the cave, most of his attention was on Huineng.
He even caught a hint of surprise!
To be able to make the unique Shenxiu in the world show such an expression shows that the fluctuations in his mind are not as calm as on the surface!
"Disciple Huineng, I have met Uncle Shenxiu!"
Huineng put his hands together in a salute, neither humble nor arrogant.
As far as Buddhism is concerned, there is actually no distinction between superior and inferior. Everyone is a disciple of Buddha. Seniority cannot determine the level of Buddhist cultivation, and wind cannot determine the level of martial arts. It is just a sign of entering a Buddhist sect!
Only over time, with the rise of Confucian ethics, the division of three religions and nine streams, and the continuation of superiority and inferiority, this point was gradually forgotten!
Therefore, Wu Ming was not surprised that Huineng performed like this.
If he sees the legendary figure in Shaolin Temple who is known as the Son of Buddha, and bows his head with a look of sincerity and fear, he will be disappointed!
"Huineng? Which senior brother are you a disciple of?"
Shenxiu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and asked casually.
"The disciple has not become a disciple, but now he works in the kitchen!"
Huineng answered truthfully.
Seeing Shenxiu's slightly frowning expression, Wu Ming felt funny. This fat monk also knew how to avoid the important and take the easy.
Even if the blind monk practices closed-mouth meditation and cannot explain it in words, he can teach it by example. He is even called "teacher". Although there is no name of master and disciple, there is distinction between master and disciple.
"cough!"
Thinking of this, Wu Ming coughed dryly and pretended to say, "When an old friend comes to visit, you don't invite me to sit down. Is this how you, a Shaolin Buddhist, treat guests?"
"If the young monk invites you to sit down, do you still want to ask if there is tea?"
Shenxiu rolled his eyes indifferently, waved his monk's robe casually, and there was a tea set on the flat stone surface, sitting directly on one side.
But when he saw Hui Neng sitting down, his hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, and he added another tea cup without leaving a trace!
"What a sin, rolling your eyes is so tempting!"
Wu Ming was cursing in his heart, but he was not slow with his hands. He grabbed the tea that Shenxiu had heated with his zhenqi without hesitation, and drank it with a slurp like a cow, without even letting go of the tea leaves.
"This little tea is not enough to quench my thirst. Please add more!"
Wu Ming shouted without any scruples, as if he was ordering his eldest girl Honglian.
"Donor, please!"
Huineng did not drink, but put the teacup in front of Wu Ming.
"Oh, but the tea doesn't taste good?"
Shenxiu said calmly.
"Disciple is just not thirsty!"
Hui Nengdao.
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth curled up slightly, he grabbed the cup of tea, raised his head and drank it, regardless of whether it was hot or not, with an intriguing look in his eyes!
"Are you trying to say that you're used to using firewood to make tea, but you're not used to drinking tea made in this way?"
Shenxiu said meaningfully.
"Uncle Master, I'm in trouble. I have no habit of living in the kitchen and having a simple meal!"
Hui Neng is not slow and does not follow the path.
"Hey!"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up.
If it is true to the ancient Chinese legends of previous generations, there will be a lot of fun when these two get together.
I don’t know if it was an illusion or not, but from the very beginning, Wu Ming felt that there was quite an atmosphere of antagonism between the two!
Especially these two seemingly plain questions and answers are even more tit for tat!
A man hailed as the proud son of heaven by the warriors of China, the successor of the Buddha whom Buddhism has accepted, and a fire-headed monk with an unknown reputation and inconspicuousness!
"hehe!"
Shenxiu paused slightly while pouring tea, and smiled noncommittally.
In the eyes of beings like him, Huineng is just a speck of dust that has never entered his eyes.
But when this tiny speck of dust came in front of me, I suddenly realized that it was so huge, standing like a barrier!
Maybe Shenxiu hasn't noticed it yet, but is just a little surprised that this mote of dust dares to criticize himself, which is a bit funny!
