Three-eighty-eight, strange people
After sitting for a while, seeing that it was late at night, thinking that Ding Wu would have another day of hard work tomorrow, he stood up and said goodbye. By the way, I borrowed Ding Wu's booklet and went back to read it carefully. walked out of the house, walked for a while, and turned around, only to see that in the sky, Ding Wu's figure had turned into a small one and flew close to Yule. Ding Wu is still Ding Wu, Han Yiming doesn't even realize how he is different from the previous Senior Brother Ding, only when he sees him fly to Yule with his own eyes, will he feel that he is no longer Senior Brother Ding, but the head of Lingshan.
Ding Wu's booklet was extremely interesting, perhaps because he heard that all the facts in this booklet were actually passed down from the strange vegetables in front of his door, and he felt more and more interesting. Holding it in his hand and looking at the light carefully for a long time, if he wasn't worried that he was too attentive and would affect Gu Qingquan's rest, he just wanted to finish reading it with relish.
The next day, he went to Yuxi again, and Qin Wuyi asked him about the previous night. Han Yiming said truthfully to the master, Qin Wufang nodded, Han Yiming said: "Master, although I also know that Senior Brother Ding can listen to the text and know what it means, I am still a little worried. If you read books like "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Biography" at the beginning, will it ......" Qin Wufang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you just have to read it." Which book to read, it is completely up to Ding Wu himself. Although the book should be from shallow to deep. But for him, he listened to whichever book he was destined for. Yiming, Ding Wu is a straight person, he won't pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, and if he doesn't understand, he will ask you. All you have to remember is that whatever he says is wrong about, don't explain it, just read it back to him what he asked. ”
Han Yiming hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Uncle Master, don't you really need me to explain in detail?" Qin Wufang shook his head and said, "No need. Ding Wuzhizhu has been brightened, and he can be consistent and serious about one thing for hundreds of years, so he will naturally sum up countless wisdom in it. His heart is pure, and he can hear more and more the meaning of the book you read, and not be disturbed by the distractions. All you have to do is read it to him. Han Yiming couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Brother Ding is only afraid that he is the first strange person in ancient and modern times!"
Qin Wufang said: "He is indeed different, but he is not the first strange person. Han Yiming said: "Master Uncle, was there such a strange person in the past?" Qin Wufang said: "Naturally, the Sixth Ancestor Huineng is such a strange person." Han Yiming was stunned for a moment and said, "I've never heard of it." Indeed, he had never heard of it, and when he was at home, he did not pay any attention to the people who were born and departed.
Qin Wufang said: "The sixth ancestor Huineng, originally a native of Lingnan, his father died early, his family was hard, he moved to the South China Sea, and made a living selling firewood. One day, a guest bought firewood, Huineng carried firewood to the inn, when he went out, he saw a guest chanting outside the door. Huineng stood aside and listened, and his heart became enlightened. Ask what is the Sutra? The guest replied to the Diamond Sutra. Asked where the scriptures came from, the guest replied that the five ancestors Hongren preached the scriptures in Dongchan Temple, Huangmei County, Qizhou, because they went to the temple to worship and listened to this scripture. Huineng then settled his mother and went to Huangmei. Worship the five patriarchs and seek the Dharma. Because the five ancestors saw their ugly faces and their roots were too good, they broke firewood and cooked rice in the backyard for more than eight months. After that, the five ancestors wanted to pass on the mantle to their disciples, so they ordered each of the sects to make a side to see the wisdom. Those who have a sense of carelessness will pay for it. Within four days of Shenxiu's sitting, thirteen degrees were incapacitated, so he inscribed a side under the corridor: The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not cause dust. After finishing the question, he quietly entered the room. When the five ancestors saw it, they knew that Shenxiu had entered the door but did not get it, so they ordered him to make another side to present. After a few more days, Shenxiu couldn't do anything, his heart was in a trance, and his mind was uneasy. A few days later, a boy passed by the backyard and sang the words of Shenxiu. As soon as Huineng heard it, he knew that he had not seen the nature of this side, although he had not been taught, he knew the general idea. Ask the boy to lead him to prayer. Because he was illiterate, he asked others to read and recite for himself, and then he recited a side: Bodhi has no tree, there is no mirror, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. Because of this, he inherited the clothes of the five ancestors and became the sixth ancestor. ”
Han Yiming listened to it and said, "Uncle Master, I understand, Senior Brother Ding is also this kind of strange person. Wisdom is born, spirituality is born. Qin Wufang nodded and said, "Ding Wu is indeed like this. You read the book you listen to him, no matter how difficult it is, he can understand the meaning. It is the so-called ten thousand laws of all things, which do not depart from their own nature. Han Yiming said: "I understand, I don't worry anymore." Master uncle, rest assured, I will definitely study for Senior Brother Ding. Qin Wufang nodded and said, "It's hard for you! Come to accompany me during the day every day, and go to study for your senior brother at night." Han Yiming said: "Didn't the master say that everything can be entered into the Dao? disciple is like this, it is also a practice, maybe one day, he will also become enlightened." ”
Qin Wufang said: "Yiming, this secretary in charge, I'll let you see it, first, you can let me see things that I couldn't see before." Second, one day, you may also have to read it to Ding Wu. He didn't know much about Lingshan's past. If the head of a faction cannot know the origin of the faction, it is not good to be the leader. Han Yiming said: "Master Uncle, please rest assured, the disciple must read carefully, understand as soon as possible, and live up to the prospect of Master Uncle." ”
Since then, Han Yiming has been on top of Yuxi during the day, accompanying Qin Wufang to read the secretary in charge. In the evening, I went to Ding Wu's hut to study for Ding Wu. Every evening is different, either one or two. Whether fast or slow, when encountering incomprehensible sentences, if Ding Wu asks him, he will read it more. Ding Wu also really has a wise root, and he has never asked Han Yiming to read a sentence three times. Most of them can be understood once, and at most they are only twice. Han Yiming never asked his senior brother if he understood it or not, he came to study. As long as every word is good, read it word for word and listen to it to my brother. Fortunately, I don't need to explain it to my senior brother by myself, many of the words in these books are only half-understood, how can I explain it to my senior brother. It is better not to say it with a fallacy.
On the evening of that day, he read two passages, sat down with Ding Wu, and came back alone. Walking back into the meditation courtyard, the moon had passed through the treetops. When I walked to the door, I heard someone talking in the house, it was Shen Ruofu's voice. Han Yiming walked into the house and saw Shen Ruofu sitting at the table, talking to Gu Qingquan.
Hearing him enter the house, Shen Ruofu turned around and said, "Little junior brother, you are also back!" Han Yiming said: "Senior brother, what's the matter? It's so late, don't you go to rest?" Shen Ruofu said: "Little senior brother, have you been with the senior brother in charge all these days?" Han Yiming said: "What?" Shen Ruofu said: "Have you heard a legend?" Han Yiming said: "Senior brother, I serve the senior uncle during the day, and I am with Senior Brother Ding at night and night, but where do I hear any legends? Why, what legends are there?" ”
