My skills have always been criticized, although my status is higher than that of the hall master, but my strength can even beat me to the ground if a big brother at the level of a hall master jumps out.

In this regard, I have always wanted to break through and improve my strength, but after nearly a year of practice, although the progress is good, it is still far from the first-class masters such as Brother Yao and Jiese.

Moreover, I also realized that I had reached a bottleneck, and under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to make great progress, and I can only rely on long-term accumulation to change.

But time is no longer allowed, after all, the war of the three major societies may break out at any time, and Xicheng District, as a strategic location in Liangchuan City, is the first to bear the brunt.

Early the next morning, when I heard the bell, I turned over and got up and went to see the abbot with Brother Yao.

The other monks started a day's practice, and I was not considered an official disciple of Biyun Temple, so I didn't need to participate and went directly to see the abbot.

When we arrived outside the abbot, the abbot had already taken off his brocade robe that represented his identity, and was waiting for us in a set of turquoise monk's robes.

The abbot wearing ordinary monk's clothes looked thinner, his face was withered, the wind candle was old, and the monk's robe was blown when the wind blew, making him like a skeleton, weak and unable to help the wind.

When the abbot saw me and Brother Yao, he asked Brother Yao to wait for me in the dormitory, and took me straight to Tallinn in the back mountain.

I saw that the abbot didn't have a Spring and Autumn Broadsword in his hand, and I was quite puzzled, didn't he want to teach me the knife technique? Why don't you even bring a knife, how to teach?

When I arrived at an open area between the towers in the back mountain, the abbot turned around and took out a scripture book from his bosom and handed it to me, saying, "Your task today is to read this scripture. ”

I was surprised and said, "Master, don't you want to learn the sword technique?" ”

The abbot said: "The outside world has always misunderstood, thinking that the martial arts of Biyun Temple are the core, but in fact, it is completely wrong, the core of Biyun Temple is Zen, you can understand if you read this book." After saying that, he turned around and walked to a large stone slab, sat cross-legged, and sat in meditation.

When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was spying on me, even if I wanted to be lazy, it was impossible.

He sat down on a stone slab, picked up the scriptures, and began to read them.

This sutra is the "Explanation of the Heart Sutra", and the content in it is completely something that I have not been exposed to before, such as the Bodhisattva of Meditation, when he walks in the deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering.

Just looking at this text, I will definitely be stunned on the spot, what do you mean?

Fortunately, this is a "shallow explanation", and there are some explanations below, so as not to be completely confused, but it also seems to understand whether it is understood or not.

The following paragraph is often heard, relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, by the thought of knowledge, the same is true, to see the complete heart Sutra explanation, it took me more than four hours.

But after reading it, when I look back and think about it, I seem to understand something, but I don't seem to understand anything.

After watching it again, I felt that I understood it a little deeper, and just like that, after watching it twice, it was almost dark.

The abbot then told me that my performance on the first day was quite good, and that I seemed to have some understanding, and asked me to go back to the dormitory and continue to study until I really understood, and then start practicing the knife technique.

When I returned to the dormitory, Brother Yao couldn't wait to ask me, what did the abbot teach me today?

I took out the scripture book from my bosom, handed it to Brother Yao, and said, "Brother Yao, the abbot gave me this scripture, and then asked me to study it thoroughly and teach nothing. ”

Brother Yao was surprised: "Study the scriptures? What does this have to do with learning knife skills? ”

I said: "I don't understand, what is the connection between the two, if you can have a good martial arts if you study Buddhism thoroughly, then don't all those Buddhist masters in China become peerless masters?" ”

Brother Yao thought about it carefully again and said, "Maybe the abbot has a deep meaning, you better do what he says." ”

I said, "I have already worshipped the abbot as a teacher, and I can only do what he asks." Brother Yao, when are you going back? ”

Brother Yao said: "I plan to wait for the dust to build the knife and then leave." ”

I thought about it, and I always felt that Xicheng District was not at ease, and said: "Why don't you go back first and help me watch the wolf hall first." ”

Brother Yao said: "I can go back first, but you have to explain, after all, you are the hall master of the Wolf Hall." ”

I said, "I'll inform Shi Zhao and Xiao Tianfan. After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and started calling.

Brother Yao used to be the hall master of the Battle Hall, and all the people in the Guanyin Temple had to listen to his command, and the resistance in the face of such an arrangement was not very great, but the people who came from the Xicheng Zunzi Hall were slightly resistant, and felt that Brother Yao was not a member of the Brotherhood, and it was a little inappropriate to let Brother Yao temporarily help me manage the Wolf Hall.

I told Xiao Tianfan, Chen Kai and others that it is a special situation now, and I can only ask Brother Yao to help me manage the Wolf Hall temporarily, and everything will be as usual when I come back.

Shi Zhao and the others were very much looking forward to hearing that I was going to stay in Biyun Temple for a period of time to learn martial arts, and said that when I went back, would I suddenly be better than the bald donkey who quit sex?

I really don't know the bottom in my heart, look at the meaning of the old monk of the abbot, at present, let me study the scriptures, I don't know when I will start to formally teach me the knife technique, if I can stay in Biyun Temple for a long time, it's okay, but I can't stay too long, so when I go back, I can't say for sure, maybe it's a waste of time, and I can't say if I haven't learned anything.

But he didn't say that, and he bragged about it with Shi Zhao and others, saying that the world's martial arts are out of the clouds, have you heard of it? Wait until I get back, and see how I beat the ring to the ground.

The people in the club are better, Ning Caijie knows that I want to stay in Biyun Temple for a while, but she is very scared, wondering if I have the idea of becoming a monk, and I have to come to Biyun Temple to find me to feel at ease.

I said that Biyun Temple is a place for monks, and it is inconvenient for her to be a woman.

Ning Caijie said no, she has to see me no matter what, otherwise she won't worry.

I was really helpless, so I asked Ning Caijie to come to me, but I only asked her to wait at the bottom of the mountain, not to go up the mountain, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The next morning, my task was to study the scriptures, the abbot was on the side of the meditation supervision, I read it all morning, and at noon, I received a call from Ning Caijie, Ning Caijie said that she was down the mountain, and I immediately went to ask the abbot for leave.

The abbot didn't trouble me, he just told me to go and come back quickly.

I went down the hill and saw Ning Caijie at the location of the single-plank bridge.

It may be that I stayed in Biyun Temple for the past two days, and I saw all the monks, this time I saw Ning Caijie, and I felt that Ning Caijie was as beautiful as a fairy, beautiful and incomprehensible, what color is not different from the air, empty is not different color, color is empty, and the Buddha of empty color was all left behind, and Ning Caijie was in the car she drove, it was really refreshing.

The wind stopped raining, hugging Ning Caijie's delicate body, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and said: "I really found my own guilt, and ran to the monk's temple to practice meditation for no reason." Depend on! ”

Ning Caijie put her arms around my neck and said with a smile: "If you really think it's too boring, just go back." ”

I actually complained, thinking about Brother Yao's words, this opportunity is rare, boring, forbearance is over, if I really want to give up this opportunity, I am still reluctant, so I smiled and said: "Forget it, it's not a long-term monk in Biyun Temple, just stay for a while, just participate in military training, just endure it." ”

Ning Caijie said, "Why don't I find a place to live at the bottom of the mountain and accompany you?" ”

I said, "There's no need for that, if you come from Ryocheon City, it won't take you a few hours to drive fast." ”

Ning Caijie said: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do in Liangchuan City, it's boring, and I'm afraid that my dad will let me do some task while you're away." ”

I thought about it and felt that this was also the case, so I drove with Ning Caijie to a nearby town, rented a house, and let Ning Caijie live in it first, and then returned to Biyun Temple.

When I returned to the temple, Lichen found me and said, "Uncle Shi, the abbot asked me to tell you that you will go directly to the abbot's room when you come back." ”

I said yes and walked to the abbot's room.

When I got to the abbot's room, the abbot was sitting in meditation, and after I entered the house, he asked me to practice with him.

When I looked at the abbot's appearance, I had the intention of asking me to sit with him for one night, and I couldn't help but cry out in my heart.
