Not far from the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, there is a pavilion called "Dharma Zun Pavilion". This pavilion is less than 100 steps away from Li Jiyu's canopy, and Li Jiyu has already set up a table of wine in the pavilion. Han Gray Huixi, who was wrapped in a robe, slowly walked to the front of the pavilion and bowed to the plaque of the pavilion. Around the pavilion, there are several layers of bandits around the dense turns, there are two people sitting in the pavilion, one of them has grown up, it is the head of Shen Jingbang who came to Shaolin to ask for too much loyalty, and the other person has a swallow jaw and tiger beard, a strong body, and there is a jade claw Hai Dongqing with blindfolded eyes on his shoulder, but it is Li Jiyu, the head of the tens of thousands of Tukou canals gathered here.

"The Zen master really kept his word." Li Jiyu and Shen Jingbang stood up together and came out of the pavilion to greet each other.

Han Gray Huixi looked at the soldiers on all sides, sighed and said: "Amitabha, Lao Gao was invited to the appointment, and he also asked Li Dazhang to do what he said at that time." ”

"This is a natural ......," Li Jiyu grinned, "and ask the Zen master to sit inside." ”

As soon as the three of them sat down, Zhao Dangshi and Haikuan on the other side led fifty soldiers and hundreds of temple soldiers to the pavilion. At that time, although the bandits had blocked the Shaolin Temple with three layers inside and three layers outside, Li Jiyu did not give the order to attack. Zhao Dangshi and Haikuan on the other side went all the way down the mountain gate, and saw that the bandits gave way one after another, and it was important to catch up with the host, so there was no fight.

The temple soldiers squeezed their heads out of the stacked bandits, and Zhao Dangshi and the other side of the sea were anxious, and stepped forward and said, "Host, what do you mean by this?" "It is unbelievable that a generation of eminent monks is sitting at the same table with the leader of the bandits at this moment.

Li Jiyu stood up, and the four or five armored Tukou swords and guns crossed at the pavilion entrance, blocking the way between Zhao Dangshi and Haikuan on the other side.

Han Hui Xi sat in the pavilion without moving, her eyes half-closed and said: "Haikuan, Haijian, the teacher has made an appointment with Li Dazhang before, and today is the day to go to the meeting." ”

Something went wrong, Zhao Dangshi didn't want to suddenly stir up trouble and the cold gray Huixi, so he pulled Haikuan on the other side to take a few steps back and returned to the crowd, and said, "Master, what did you make an appointment?" ”

Shen Jingbang got up and said, "Master, don't be impatient, I will invite the host to come to the pavilion, there is no malice." He continued, "A few days ago, Li Dazhang sent a letter to the host, but he couldn't ask for a drop of blood from both sides and turned the grudge into a grudge. The host is a high-ranking monk and understands the righteousness, and we admire it. ”

On the other side, the sea was wide-faced and red-eared: "What kind of gossip did you say to deceive the host?" ”

Shen Jingbang listened, immediately took a breath, and said loudly: "I want to test whether your Shaolin is worthy of the name!" ”

"My Shaolin is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, the first temple in the world, up to the court, down to the people, all respectful, your turn to test the truth?" On the other side, Haikuan's forehead was bruised, if it weren't for the safety of Han Gray Huixi, I was afraid that I would have rushed to kill early.

"Hmph, that's a bad word. Don't you know that I, Li Dazhang, have been in charge of the army since I started to fight, and everything is for the people. If there are corrupt officials who persecute the people, I will kill them; If there are evil bandits who harm the people, we will also kill them. In this way, if there is a temple that does not abide by the rules, sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and only relies on lying to fool the people all day long for profit, I Li Dazhang can't rub sand in his eyes, and I must also get rid of it to tell heaven and earth. ”

Zhao Dangshi forcibly held him down, and asked the proud Shen Jingbang: "That's a good point, and I don't know what Li Dazhang wants to use to verify the authenticity of Shaolin Temple Buddhism?" ”

Even if Li Jiyu is tyrannical with his soldiers, Shaolin is famous in the world after all, and he can't help but be afraid of public opinion. He had read books and knew the importance of the word "morality", and he had nothing to do to raise an army, but he couldn't say anything after all, so he wanted to think of some way to start before he started. This kind of thing has not been done by Zhao Dangshi in the past, so it is naturally not strange.

Shen Jingbang said: "This matter is easy to hear, no one here has heard the phrase 'monks don't speak', right?" Then he said, "I am not a disciple of Buddhism, but I also know that the fourth precept of Buddhism is 'do not lie', which is the most important." Once you break the precepts, you must be expelled from the Sangha, Huixi Zen Master, I am right, right? ”

Han Gray Huixi closed her eyes and replied: "Exactly. ”

Shen Jingbang squinted and smiled: "That's good, a monk who violates the precepts will be expelled from the mountain gate." If a temple violates the precepts, then should this mountain gate be erected? ”

On the other side, Haikuan said angrily: "I, Shaolin, have never been innocent, how can I ever violate the precepts?" You don't want to spew blood! ”

Shen Jingbang's eyebrows jumped and said: "I don't know if I have violated the precepts before, and I don't want to turn over the old yellow calendar again." Shaolin Temple is really boundless Buddhism or is it a lie, today there is a conclusion! Turning to the cold gray Huixi said, "Huixi Zen Master, you are the host of Shaolin, and you are the most outstanding person in this temple, and it is appropriate for you to represent Shaolin Temple, right?" ”

Han Gray Hui sighed happily: "Amitabha, everything, the old man bears it all by himself. ”

Shen Jingbang was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Li Jiyu and smiled: "The Zen master is quick to talk, which shows his sincerity." ”

Liu Ru said secretly: "The host is above board, I'm afraid it will be tricked by the bandits." "Of course, there are still some temple soldiers stationed in the temple, but Liu Ru and Lian Zhi are concerned about Zhao Dangshi, and they are really afraid that Zhao Dangshi will say goodbye to the temple when he leaves the temple, so when he heard that the monks and soldiers in the temple were clustered, with the idea of living and dying together, he also came out of the temple in the team.

Zhao Dangshi said in a deep voice: "Let's look at what medicine Li Jiyu sells in the gourd." Then he forgot to say, "You come closer to me, don't let people scatter." When Liu Ru heard this, his heart seemed to flow into a warm current, and he let out a "hmm" on his chin. He hugged Zhao Dangshi's arm.

After Shen Jingbang said a word, he immediately sat down and ordered the little servant to fill three bowls of wine. Li Jiyu picked up the wine bowl and said to Han Hui Huixi: "Li knows that the Zen master does not eat wine, and the Zen master replaces the wine with tea in the bowl." When we met for the first time, I also asked the Zen master to give Li a certain face, and ate this bowl of tea——。 The last two words are intentional or not, but they are a long note.

Han Shen Huixi didn't think much about it, and said with one hand: "Amitabha, Xie Li is considerate, this bowl is deserved." At that moment, he touched the bowl with Li Jiyu and drank the tea in one gulp.

Li Jiyu wiped his mouth, and put down the bowl one after another with Han Gray Huixi, who tasted that the water in the bowl was colorless and tasteless, and it was indeed tea, and he was secretly relieved. I didn't want to put the bowl back on the table, but Shen Jingbang suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and said straightly: "Wrong, wrong, Zen master is wrong." ”

Han Gray Huixi lowered her eyebrows slightly: "What does the idea refer to?" ”

Shen Jingbang's eyes suddenly showed a bit of cruelty, and he seemed to smile and said: "The Zen master can hear it clearly just now, Li Dazhang sincerely invited the Zen master to eat this bowl of tea." ”

Han Gray Huixi nodded and said: "Although the old man is old, he has never heard it back, and he has heard it clearly, and after eating this bowl of tea, he also allowed it." ”

Shen Jingbang continued to shake his head and said, "Wrong, wrong. Zen master, can you hear clearly, Li Dazhang plate is asking you to eat this bowl of tea. ”

"Eat this bowl and tea ......" Han Gray Huixi said silently, her expression suddenly changed, and the distance between her lips and teeth trembled, "Eat this tea...... Ate this bowl ......"

Shen Jingbang clapped his hands and said: "The host is really smart, and one point is clear." You have already agreed to Li Da to take charge of the plate, but now if you go back on your word, are you lying nonsense? ”

Han Gray Huixi's mind was empty, her eyes were stunned, and she looked at the bowl carefully. The bowl was the size of a palm, made of ceramic, and there were still a few drops of residual liquid left at the bottom of the bowl, reflecting the sparkling glow of the bowl wall.

"Zen master, don't you want to eat?" Shen Jingbang said with a sly smile. Li Jiyu beside him coughed, his face unhappy.

After a while, he saw Han Gray Huixi picking up the porcelain bowl and said, "The old man ate this bowl." ”

When these words came out of the pavilion, Zhao Dangshi and the sea on the other side were all discolored. On the other side, Haikuan lifted the broad-backed long knife and was about to break in, but before he took a step, the cold gray Huixi in the pavilion suddenly roared: "No one is allowed to come!" ”

This sound shook Lin Yue, and everyone present heard it very clearly. Zhao Dangshi was full of battles, since he entered Shaolin, Han Gray Huixi has always been peaceful, his voice is low and weak, like flowing water in the mountains, thin and long. Such a majestic voice burst out from Han Gray Huixi's withered and thin body, presumably using up all his central qi.

On the other side, Haikuan Su obeyed the master's orders, and in this next life, he stopped his steps, tears burst out of his eyes, and he shouted: "Master! ”

When it was, Han Gray Huixi sat firmly in the pavilion and did not move, and her voice was as hard as iron: "If you are a teacher, who dares to disobey in Shaolin?" If there are any more reckless movers, from today onwards, they will not be disciples in our temple! As he spoke, he took out a short dagger from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Zhao Dangshi also shouted: "Master, don't be entangled with these people, let's go back to the temple, we will fight to the death to a soldier and a monk, and we won't lose a breath of him!" ”

Han Shen Huixi ignored the shouts of the monks outside the pavilion, and asked Li Jiyu: "Li Dazhang plate, you said in your letter that you want to test the authenticity of my Shaolin with three things." Is that the first thing? ”

Li Jiyu said: "Count." ”

"That'll be fine." Han Gray Huixi nodded slightly, as if she had put down a big stone in her heart, and without hesitation, in front of everyone, she stuffed the porcelain bowl into her mouth. No matter how the vibration outside the pavilion was, he was now deaf, and only a few "creaking" crunching sounds could be heard, and the porcelain bowl had been bitten off for him.

"Zen Master ......" Li Ji moved when he saw it, his face was different, and Shen Jingbang raised his hand to press his arm, shaking his head.

On the other side, Haikuan went crazy and wanted to rush to the pavilion, but for a while, the monks were stunned and afraid that they would be forced to preside over the self-judgment, and no one followed him. He rushed forward again and again, but he was hugged by countless bandits.

Han Gray Huixi's face turned red like pork liver, and she bit it one by one, chewing the porcelain pieces in her mouth hard. With each bite, a little bit of blood foams oozes from the side of the mouth. Later, I think the corners of his mouth were cut open by the edge of the sharp porcelain piece, and the blood mixed with saliva couldn't stop flowing out of his mouth, flowing onto the table on his chest, accumulating a thick puddle.

Li Jiyu and Shen Jingbang watched with bated breath as Han Gray Huixi chewed the porcelain bowl little by little, and struggled to swallow these hard and angular pieces in the Adam's apple churning, just concentrating on eating the bowl the whole time, and did not do anything else. At the end, with a long gasp, he spread his hands and did not speak, indicating that the porcelain bowl had been eaten. When the lips trembled unconsciously, there would still be stars and blood foaming out.

Shen Jingbang coughed twice with a blue face, and said with a forced smile: "Zen master is really a good method. ”

Han Gray Huixi's chest rose and fell, and she quietly closed her eyes.

Shen Jingbang looked inside and outside the pavilion, and saw that the sea width on the other side had been blocked, and said in his heart: "This old bald donkey is hard, don't give some color to see, is it really a trick for tens of thousands of people to come to Shaolin?" After thinking for a while, he said, "I often hear that Buddhism is based on benevolence, when the ancestor of your sect Shakyamuni sage was enlightened, traveled all over the world to practice the Bodhisattva road, in order to save a pigeon, cut a piece of its hip meat and gave it to the hungry eagle that chased it. He immediately pointed to the jade claw Haidongqing on Li Jiyu's shoulder, "Cutting meat and feeding eagles sounds very bizarre, but you teach and preach Buddhism, and you have used this as an example more than once to influence sentient beings." Shen is a layman, advocating hearing as false and seeing as believing, wondering if this cutting meat to feed the eagle is a lie? It just so happened that Li Dazhang had a good Haidongqing purchased from the Liao merchants. The Zen master is highly respected, and the cultivation is high and deep, and the Buddha is almost the same, Shen does not ask for more, as long as the Zen master can cut a palm-sized piece of meat from the hip and feed it to the hungry Hai Dongqing, this matter of cutting meat and feeding the eagle is true. ”

Han Gray Huixi was shocked in her heart, and her eyes opened suddenly, but she couldn't speak because of her mouth injury. At this time, Li Jiyu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Zen master, this is another matter. ”

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense!" On the other side, Haikuan burst into tears for a while, and wanted to step forward to dissuade him again, but when he saw that the master had put one hand on the short dagger in front of him, he was suddenly helpless.
