The meditation room was rudimentary, with an antique old bed, a square table with two tea bowls on top, two patched futons on the front and back of the square table, and nothing else. It can be seen that the owner of this meditation room is a monk who has seen through the red dust and is dedicated to pure cultivation.

The tea in the tea bowl was still steaming, it should have been poured not long ago, and it seemed that as soon as he entered the temple, the other party already knew that he was coming.

In front of the square table sat a white-eyed eagle-eyed, thin old monk who described him as a little withered.

Seeing Lu Shanmin come in, the old monk showed a faint compassionate smile on his face and pointed to the futon on the other side of the square table. "Donor, please be seated." The voice is old and long.

Lu Shanmin nodded at the old monk and sat cross-legged on the futon like the old monk.

"The old monk is pure, I know that the donor is very puzzled, why would a monk of mine invite you into the meditation room for a while."

This is indeed the doubt in Lu Shanmin's heart, the old monk in front of him is full of compassion and no worldly color, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a monk who has attained the Tao.

Lu Shanmin didn't interject, and quietly listened to Jingku's continued conversation. However, after waiting for a long time, I found that the other party had no intention of continuing, but closed his eyes.

Jingku didn't speak, Lu Shanmin didn't speak, and the two sat quietly.

Time passed little by little, and at the beginning, Lu Shanmin was a little restless, but under the influence of the atmosphere in the meditation room, his heart gradually calmed down, and he also closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

It wasn't until late evening that Jing Ku opened his eyes.

"Your concentration is very good." A hint of appreciation appeared on Jingku's face.

"These days I am impetuous, depressed and difficult to get rid of, thank you master for clearing my heart." Lu Shanmin said calmly.

Jing Ku smiled, "Everything in the world can't escape the word 'cause and effect', and there is a definite number of origin and death."

Lu Shanmin seemed to understand or not, and asked slowly.

"Can I ask the master a question"?

"Absolutely".

"Grandpa said, 'A monk sits in meditation to become a Buddha, and he is a layman who practices words only for peace of mind', master, zazen can really become a Buddha"?

Jing smiled bitterly, "Then it depends on the purpose of the zazen person?"

"The purpose of zazen is, of course, to become a Buddha."

Jingku shook his head, "Then you can't become a Buddha."

"Why"?

"Single-mindedly devoting oneself to a Buddha is not for the sake of becoming a Buddha, whether or not you can become a Buddha or when you will become a Buddha is a matter of course, and you don't have to think about it."

"How can I have peace of mind"?

Jing Ku smiled slightly, pointed to Lu Shanmin's chest, "My heart is already in my heart."

Lu Shanmin was a little dazed, and then returned to the sentence he said at the beginning of the pure suffering: "The master has superb Buddhism, why is he still entangled in worldly affairs."

"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and if you don't see color, you don't know emptiness." This is the bowl of tea, if it is not filled with water, how can the bowl be emptied."

Lu Shanmin clasped his hands together and bowed his head towards the clear space reverently, "Thank you for the master's teachings, I think my heart is at ease."

Walking out of the meditation room, the depression in his heart dissipated, and the faint scent of sandalwood in the air lifted his spirits. I thought it should be the old man Zeng who secretly asked him to meet, but I didn't expect that it was just an old monk who talked to him for a long time.

Although the Master of Pure Suffering was reluctant to tell him why he had asked him to speak this speech, it didn't matter, he could feel the kindness of Pure Suffering, and it did make his heart settle down and his mind clearer when he was most worried.

Passing through the corridor and passing by the main hall, Lu Shanmin was about to go back, but he saw a familiar figure in the hall, the person looked a little anxious, looking around, this person was the monk Yangkong who he saw in the villa of the old man Zeng that day.

Yangkong also saw Lu Shanmin at this moment, with a relaxed smile on his face, and walked towards Lu Shanmin.

"Master Lu, the poor monk has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, doubted in his heart, looked back at the direction of the meditation room, and then looked at Yangkong, who was at a loss, and realized that the person who really asked him to come was Yangkong, not the pure suffering of sitting with him all afternoon. My head suddenly became a little confused. After thinking about it, he said:

"Today's building materials city opened, I really can't leave, so it's late." Then he asked, "Are you a monk of the Pure Sky Temple?"

Yangkong said with a smile, "The poor monk is the abbot here, and at the same time, this is also a secret contact point for Old Man Zeng, except for Old Man Zeng, even everyone else in the Zeng family does not know."

Lu Shanmin suddenly realized, it seems that the person who asked him was really the old man of the Zeng family, "You are a fake monk"?

"When the fake is true, the truth is also false, there is no place for inaction, and the donor doesn't have to worry about whether I am a monk or not."

"Why didn't Mr. Zeng ask me to go to the villa last time"?

Yangkong shook his head, "I can't go, in the future, every fifteenth day of the new year, the donor will come to the Jingkong Temple to burn a pillar of incense."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed, "Has the struggle been so fierce?"

Yangkong nodded, "It's already a full-scale war, and things have deteriorated beyond imagination, the three brothers of the Zeng family have escalated their infighting, the resources in the hands of the three of them can't be concentrated in one place, the struggle at the top has been frequently lost, and the old man's illness is no longer convenient to move around, the people who used to sell the old man's face are now in a wait-and-see state, and the people who were originally eager to wait and see gradually surfaced." The battle at all levels is getting more and more stalemate, including among the people who participated in the opening of your building materials city today, there are also spies from all sides, and there are many spies around the villa of the old man, and it is easy for you to be exposed when you go."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, "Yaqian and my affairs, as well as the information that was deliberately sold to the Lin family, these are all intentional actions of the old man, in order to bring all the secret enemies to the surface." When the old man did this, he should have thought of countermeasures in advance, so that it would not be so serious."

Yangkong shook his head, "The old man wants all the enemies to surface, and he has indeed done it now, but he underestimated the infighting of his three sons, and he also underestimated the strength of the enemy. Yesterday, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government led a team to inspect the Haohan Group, and made severe criticisms, and even the old man's name was insinuated and scolded, which was impossible to happen before."

Lu Shanmin opened his mouth wide in surprise, which meant that the Zeng family's political power had failed, which was a terrible signal. Once the news spreads, the enemy will pounce and bite without hesitation. Next, the Zeng family is afraid that they are really in big trouble.

"Isn't the old man an old man who has a grandson-in-law and is the leader of the city government"?

Yangkong shook his head, "When the catastrophe comes, they fly separately, when they can be the icing on the cake, they are in-laws, and when the trees fall and scatter, if they don't step on the other side, I will be merciful, and I can't rely on it."

"The old man has something to say to me". Lu Shanmin hurriedly asked.

Yangkong took out a USB drive and handed it to Lu Shanmin, "The old man said that you should think carefully and then look at the information in the USB drive, once you read it, you can't go back."

Lu Shanmin took the USB drive and cautiously put it in his pocket, "What else does the old man say?"

Yang Kong clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, Lord Lu, the poor monk knows that you are very embarrassed, and now maybe only the Ye family can save the Zeng family."

Lu Shanmin was silent, and after a while, he took a deep breath, "You tell the old man, I know it in my heart."

Yangkong frowned slightly, and continued: "Also, the donor must be careful when he goes out, there are at least three groups of people around you who are observing your every move."

"What?" Lu Shanmin was shocked. "Who is it"?

"One of them is the Lin family and the people behind the Lin family, and the other group should be the woman named Liu Yiyi."

"What about another batch?" Lu Shanmin hurriedly asked.

Yangkong shook his head, "The last wave is very weird, whenever we are about to lock, we can always be noticed by the other party and disappear without a trace."

Lu Shanmin frowned, lowered his head and pondered, the first two groups are very easy to understand, who will be the last one. According to Zuoqiu's analysis, no matter how bizarre his background is, it is certain that most of them are a down-and-out family, and it would be good to have a few of them left, not to mention that Zuoqiu also thinks that the two of them will definitely not be in the East China Sea. So who will this strange group of people be?

Yang Kong clasped his hands together, "My words have been brought, it's not too early, the donor should come back early."

Lu Shanmin took two steps, stopped, turned around and asked, "When I was walking around the temple just now, I saw an old monk with white eyebrows and eagle eyes, and I felt that this person's popularity was extraordinary, so I couldn't help but look at it twice."

Yangkong smiled, "The donor has good eyesight, that's the master of the poor monk, Master Jingku."

Lu Shanmin looked at Yangkong suspiciously, Yangkong's foreign boxing kung fu was unfathomable, but his body was thin and withered, and he didn't look like a practitioner of foreign boxing at all.

Seeing Lu Shanmin's face full of doubts, Yang Kong smiled and said: "My kung fu is indeed taught by my master, but he is not a foreign boxing practitioner himself."

.................................

Back at the rental house, the first thing Lu Shanmin did was to insert the USB drive into the computer, which was about some of the internal situation of the Zeng family, and more about the situation of the forces of the opposing party, which were intertwined, with obvious enemies, forces that were both enemies and friends, and forces that did not know whether they were enemies or friends.

Looking at it all the way, the more Lu Shanmin looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a chill in his back. The position of the Lin family in it is only the most trivial part, which is also suitable for his own identity, a small Lu Shanmin really only needs the Lin family, a small character who does chores, to stare at.

Lu Shanmin hurriedly called the bobcat over, and the bobcat was sweating even more, and he was trembling unconsciously when he saw the back.

After reading it, the two were silent.

If the enemy is an elephant, then Lu Shanmin is an ant, and if Lu Shanmin is the earth, then the other party is the universe. Such an analogy is no exaggeration. It involves nearly 10 large groups and large companies, and has even spread to high-level political games.

It took a long time for the lynx to recover from its shock. wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Shanmin, I'm afraid that we will all take it, and we won't be able to splash a single splash in this vast ocean."

Lu Shanmin's eyes were round, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of light, which startled the lynx.

"Brother Shanmin"? Bobcat Nono shouted again.

Lu Shanmin turned his head to look at the bobcat, saw the fright on the bobcat's face, slowly put away his unconscious hideous expression, and said lightly: "When I used to hunt in the mountains, whenever I encountered a wild beast, I would show this expression, so that I could suppress the wild beast, otherwise even if I showed a trace of cowardice, the wild beast would pounce on me and tear people to pieces."

Bobcat wiped his sweat again, "Brother Shanmin, I'm afraid this matter is beyond our human power."

"Bobcat, you've been in high school, you should know what Newton once said."

The lynx frowned slightly, then nodded, "He said, 'If you give me a fulcrum, I can lift the whole earth.'"

"Yes, we're just missing a fulcrum." Lu Shanmin looked convinced.

Seeing the confidence and firmness on Lu Shanmin's face, the lynx unconsciously smiled, not knowing where to start, as long as Lu Shanmin had such an expression on his face, he would have a blind belief. Even if Lu Shanmin said that solar energy would come out of the west tomorrow, he would not doubt it.

The lynx calmed down, his mind gradually regained his senses, he thought for a moment, and said slowly:

"Brother Shanmin, on the surface, we are all disadvantages, but these disadvantages are precisely our advantages."

Lu Shanmin was very relieved that the lynx could calm down so quickly, and the lynx, who was once timid and fearful, and only considered the gains and losses of his own interests, now gradually has self-confidence and courage.

"First, compared to the enemy, we are extremely weak, it can be said that we are so weak that we have to be despised, their eyes will not focus on us, we will do things much more smoothly, on the contrary, even a small move of the Zeng family will be surrounded and intercepted by the opponent now, I think this is also one of the reasons why Old Man Zeng chose you."

"Second, after three times of testing and observation, I believe that the Lin family and the people behind it have already believed in your sincere refuge, and when you are already despised, the other party will not consider your impact on the whole thing."

"Thirdly, there are aspects of this information, some of which we can't touch, but some of which we don't completely reach. Thousands of miles of embankment is destroyed in the anthill, sometimes the success or failure of a thing is often determined by some imperceptible small things, if we can find a breakthrough at this level, it is not impossible to come to the bottom of the kettle."

"Fourth," Lynx glanced at Lu Shanmin, "As Brother Shanmin said, we have a fulcrum, I don't know how much energy the Ye family has, but when the two sides are stalemate, if the Ye family can enter the game, the balance of victory and defeat will be critically tilted."

Lu Shanmin lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he said slowly: "In the past two days, you have to ponder these materials carefully to see if you can find a breakthrough." After a pause, he said, "Over there of the Ye family, I'll figure out a way."

After the lynx left, Lu Shanmin copied a document and compiled the events and some thoughts he had experienced in the past few days into a document.

Then he changed his mobile phone card and called Xiao Bing, although Zuoqiu is not good at specific intrigues, but what has happened recently is a little weird, and he needs Zuoqiu to sort out a clear direction in the general direction.

After dealing with these things, Lu Shanmin sat on the sofa, staring blankly at a phone number on his mobile phone, and was silent for a long time.

Eventually, take a deep breath and dial it out.
