Because of the people who were selected to the security corps, the vast majority of them had some foundation. Therefore, the training of military skills such as riding horses and shooting guns saves a lot of trouble.

In less than half a month, a team of 32 people has been rectified.

Everyone has worked hard these days, and Xiangzi gave them two days off and sent them home to have a look. When you come back, you have to get ready to go.

After the careful touching of the Liu brothers, Xiangzi focused on the north line.

Because the bandit leader Usman gradually stabilized his power in Ashan, the scattered bandits moved the looted livestock to the north in turn. Most of them are concentrated in the area from Bei Shawo to Kalamaili Mountain.

Just when Xiangzi was unfamiliar with the terrain and landforms in the north and was worried, Secretary Jia gave him an unexpected surprise.

A few years ago, Secretary Jia's father was determined to go to the Kalamaili Mountains to dig gold mines. So, Secretary Jia accompanied his father on a field trip.

In order to remember the route along the way and not get lost, Secretary Jia not only made a detailed record of the obvious landform plants in this area along the way.

Moreover, every two miles of road, the geological and geomorphological characteristics and vegetation conditions are explained in detail.

It can be said that as long as you hold this chart, you can break the city (the original location of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, because the city wall has been weathered and dilapidated for a long time, so the locals call it a broken city. To the north, to the Kalamaili Mountains, the topography and vegetation of the trees are roughly laid out in front of you.

Xiangzi pondered carefully on the icon when he had time, and soon, a plan to capture and encircle and annihilate the bandits gradually appeared in his mind.

Xiangzi was extending and refining in his mind, and the encirclement scene that was about to be carried out was about to be carried out, and when the door rang, he saw Sun Mingzhi walking in with a smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Mingzhi asked with concern: "I heard that the team is about to start?" ”

Shoko seemed to be confident, and said, "In the next few days, I plan to start from the north first. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the map on the table. Sun Mingzhi stepped forward, looked at the map carefully, and muttered as if talking to himself: "This picture is really detailed, it was done by an expert." ”

Xiangzi smiled lightly and said, "It was painted by Secretary Jia himself, thanks to it, otherwise I would have been blind to the situation in the north." ”

Sun Mingzhi sighed gloomily, pointed to a point in the picture, and said, "My father was killed here, under this elm tree. ”

Xiangzi couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "It's a pity that the old man left." ”

After a pause, Xiangzi patted Sun Mingzhi lightly on the shoulder, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry! I will definitely give an explanation to the old man. ”

Sun Mingzhi held Xiangzi's hand with some emotion and said, "Thank you, I wish you success." ”

The two chatted a few words, and Sun Mingzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a delicately bound book from his arms, handed it to Xiangzi, and said, "I heard that you study Buddhism, this is a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" hand-copied by my daughter-in-law, and I will give it to you. ”

Xiangzi took the scripture with joy on his face and eagerly opened it, and the rows of beautiful and powerful hairpin flowers jumped on the paper.

The lines are neat, sparse and dense, and the pen is engraved. Xiangzi said obsessively: "Sister-in-law's handwriting, the writing is so good-looking, if you don't look carefully, I think it's an engraved mile."

Sun Mingzhi, with a smile of relief on his face, said: "It's good, her calligraphy is also counted in school." ”

Shoko looked at it in fascination and muttered, "Have you read it?" ”

Sun Mingzhi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I've read it a few times, but I can't read the meaning of it, I like the words in the scriptures very much." ”

Xiangzi said with a smile while flipping through the scriptures: "No wonder there is a saying that 'no one says the Dharma, although wisdom cannot understand it'. I haven't read the scriptures, but I've just listened to the Venerable Master explain at Nanshan Temple. It is said that the Sutra is for Subodhi, who has attained fruition, so ordinary people can't understand it. ”

After a pause, Xiangzi said with great interest: "The Master said that the Diamond Sutra talks about 'all the Dharma is nothing, after all, it is empty and cannot be obtained.'" All appearances are illusory, and all things have a way, like a dream bubble, and dew is like electricity, so it should be viewed as such. ’”

Shoko looked at the scriptures with great interest and muttered in his mouth.

I don't want to, but Sun Mingzhi showed a look of surprise and admiration, and said: "Oh, Assistant Guo's memory is really outstanding, and the end of "Jing Gang Jing" is summed up like this. ”

After a pause, he said thoughtfully: "Oh, this Buddhist scripture is really esoteric and difficult to understand, there is a sub-inch "Heart Sutra" at home, although I often read it, but I can't understand its meaning."

Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said: "The Heart Sutra, like the Sutra of Justice, is not the realm of ordinary people. Only after attaining the certificate can we truly appreciate the wonderfulness of it.

Back then, Master only gave us some simple truths, and did not let us delve into the empty theories. He only gave us an analogy to let us understand from it. ”

As he spoke, Xiangzi reached out and took the water cup on the table and said, "Take this cup as an example, the cup body is there, but the cup is empty." It is only through emptiness that the body can function; And emptiness is formed by the body. Without the body, it cannot be displayed empty. It's not available, and it's not useful. Therefore, there is no two, and there is one empty. It is the truth of the Heart Sutra, 'emptiness is not different color, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is color, color is emptiness'"

Sun Mingzhi has been listening carefully to Xiangzi's story, and when he heard this, he said with emotion: "Oh, I really listen to your words, it's better than reading a book for ten years, I haven't figured it out for a few years, let you give it a little bit in a few words, I really admire you." ”

After a pause, he said suspiciously: "It seems that you should have some academic qualifications, right?" Tell me, which school did you graduate from? ”

Xiangzi smiled at him modestly and said, "What school is not a school, less than half a year after middle school, there was an accident in the family." My parents died one after another, and I was living alone in Xinjiang, so how could I still go to school. I heard all those teachings in the monastery. ”

Sun Mingzhi listened, sighed lightly, and said sincerely: "Assistant Guo is really a strange person, he is not very old, but he has such a deep understanding of Buddhism, in the future, it is indispensable to ask you for advice." ”

Xiangzi smiled modestly and said, "I also know a little bit about it, and Master said that if you plan to study Buddhism, you should read more Buddhist scriptures and learn more about it." If you cultivate in the next life, just a copy of "The Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra", a sentence of the holy name of Amitabha Buddha, with full faith and will, and when you are dying, you can maintain righteous thoughts, and you will be able to be reborn in the Western Elysium without retreating to become a Buddha. ”

Sun Mingzhi said contemplatively: "I haven't thought about this, and it's the first time I've heard you say it." It seems that in the future, I will have to trouble Assistant Guo and give me more pointers. ”

Xiangzi smiled modestly and said, "Let's discuss comprehension together." ”

After a pause, he smiled gently at Sun Mingzhi and said, "As soon as you and I hit it off, you will call me Xiangzi in the future, and I will call you Brother Sun, don't listen awkwardly to the assistant assistant." ”

Sun Mingzhi smiled heartily and said with a slightly excited expression: "In the future, we will be commensurate with brothers!" ”
