Besides, Shi Ru, a foreign monk, is really a Zhongyuan expert, when he talks about the topic of free supernatural powers, he seems to like "free supernatural powers", only to see him slightly closed his eyes, reveling in contentment, drunk in the free supernatural powers......

After about a pillar of incense, he spoke again about the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism in Baolin Temple, another kind of "free magic" to open the altar and say:

It is said that the six ancestors Hui Neng opened the Zen door in Baolin Temple, opened the altar to say the Dharma, and became famous in all directions. The talents under the command of the six ancestors Huineng are like clouds, and there are many dragons and elephants. The Baoling Temple is also constantly expanding, turning into a famous mountain temple of great scale. Cao Xi is in a vein, and the sea of law is crossing.

Cao Xi flows quietly in front of Baoling Temple, and the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng has been giving lectures at Baoling Temple and promoting the Zen method of epiphany for more than 30 years.

In the summer of this year, the sun is shining, the smoke is blowing slightly, and the cicadas are singing on the tall Bodhi tree at the temple gate.

There are a lot of people who come to Baolin Temple to pray, shoulder to shoulder, and the flow of people is like a carp. Inside and outside the main hall, cigarettes curled and candles were in full bloom.

The sixth ancestor Hui Neng returned to Shaozhou from other places, and saw that the looks of those donors who came to Baolin Temple to worship incense were very different from the past, and they were all full of sadness.

An old man with fluttering hair had just finished entering the incense and walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and when he saw the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, you are finally back." ”

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng clasped his hands together and returned the salute: "Amitabha, good!" Wonderful! May I ask the donor, what has happened in recent days that makes you so worried? ”

The old man's name was Liu Ruguang, and he was a respected local patriarch.

Liu Ruguang stroked his long beard, sighed, raised his hand to the outside, and said, "Master, you don't know, you have been out for a while, and a white dragon came out of nowhere, hidden in the deep pool of Cao Xi in front of the temple. ”

Seeing that the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng was talking to the old patriarch, many pilgrims immediately surrounded him.

Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "There is a way for the tiger to follow the wind, and the dragon to follow the cloud." The arrival of this white dragon is not a bad thing for me Cao Xi. ”

Liu Ruguang's eyes flashed with indignation: "But this white dragon is proud of his superb spells, and he is making waves here and doing many evils. ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng was taken aback: "Ah, there is such a thing? Donor, I beg you to explain it in detail. ”

Liu Ruguang complained: "This white dragon has been involved in wind and rain from time to time, and many houses, trees and crops around it have suffered greatly from it. Many of the livestock in our village have been devoured by it. ”

Pilgrim A complained to the sixth ancestor Huineng: "My family's acres of rice are heading and flowering. The dragon rolled up a violent storm for no reason, flooding my family's rice field, and this year it turned into no harvest. Next year, my family won't know what to do to make a living. ”

Pilgrim B also took the lead: "A few days ago, I was grazing cattle and sheep in the mountains, but suddenly dark clouds covered the top, a gust of wind blew wildly, and then a white light flashed, and after flying sand and rocks, all the cattle and sheep of my family on the mountain were gone. Later, I learned that it was devoured alive by the hateful white dragon. ”

Other pilgrims also recounted the dragon's crimes.

Liu Ruguang's expression was gloomy: "There are countless victims from near and far. Not to mention, it tore off the roof of my house, and when it rained, my whole family could not be at peace. ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "In this way, this white dragon is really hateful. ”

At this time, Shi Ruwei, the foreman of the monk who protected the temple, took several monks to the place not far from the sixth ancestor Huineng.

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng beckoned them over with his hand, and his voice was a little reproachful: "Ruwei, the people outside the temple suffered from that evil dragon, as a monk of the courtyard, since that white dragon harmed the people nearby, why don't you come forward and subdue it?" ”

After Shi Ruwei made a big salute, he replied with a depressed expression: "Two days ago, I once led more than a dozen brothers, armed with weapons, to the edge of the deep pool, waiting for the rabbit, waiting for the evil dragon to appear. But when the dragon suddenly emerged from the deep pool, the sky was surrounded by dark clouds, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and fierce winds. Before we could come forward to reason, the evil dragon became fierce and aggressive, and blew down several big trees by the pool. We were also blown to and fro by the wind, unable to stand and unable to get close to its side. So our swords, guns, swords, and halberds are all useless. ”
