Lee: "Tiger Pit? Could it be that there is a tiger hidden in that col? ”

Liang Diqing: "There are indeed tigers hidden in the tiger pit, so we rarely go inside."

Li's face suddenly changed: "Ah, there is really a tiger hidden in it?!" ”

Liang Diqing raised his hand and pressed it down: "However, you can rest assured." Over the years, the tiger has searched the mountains for what it should eat, but it has never bitten a human, let alone eaten a human. ”

Li's fear did not fade completely: "No, the tigers in this mountain have not eaten people?"

Huineng said: "There is a saying that people are afraid of tigers for three points, and tigers are afraid of people for seven points." ”

Liang Diqing expressed his opinion: "If you don't provoke the tiger, it won't attack you." We never provoke it, so I don't have any scruples about growing tea here to rest. ”

Li Shi was puzzled: "The tiger is not a bodhisattva of great compassion, it always eats if it wants to live." ”

Liang Diqing's face showed a look of disgust: "The cattle, sheep and livestock on the mountain and down the mountain have been bitten to death and dragged away a lot by it. ”

Li: "The tiger killed the cattle, sheep and livestock, and the villagers must have hated it to death." ”

Liang Diqing spit out the sullen breath in his heart: "Yes, we mountain people saw the tiger from a distance when we were hunting, and we didn't dare to rush to hunt it, so we had to install animal traps in the grass. That tiger elf is very good, we have tried many ways, but we always pretend that it can't be found, and we are really helpless about it. ”

Hui Neng's eyes were stunned, thinking about something: "It seems that the tiger is very spiritual. ”

Liang Diqing nodded: "Recently, I and several hunters in the village are studying how to modify these animal traps so that they can effectively clamp the tigers to get rid of the scourge in our mountains. ”

Lee: "That's good. ”

Liang Diqing: "Brother Aneng, you will live here for the time being, and Chi Bin and I will often come in to visit you." And you are not polite, but come and sit down at my house when you have time. ”

Huineng: "Okay, Uncle Di Qing, we will make arrangements." ”

From this day on, Huineng and Li lived in seclusion in a small grass hut behind the stone gate of Wentianzhai.

In this quiet mountain wilderness, Huineng from time to time recalled the scriptures passed on to him by the five ancestors Hongren, quietly comprehended the true meaning, and comprehended the inner Zen machine, and his heart was even more profitable.

One day, Huineng went into the mountains to collect medicine, probably because there were few people in the Tiger Pit on weekdays, and there were many varieties of mountain herbs in it, and they grew particularly luxuriant. Huineng walked in unconsciously while collecting medicine, and walked deeper and deeper into the pit.

Suddenly, there was a deafening whistling sound and a stumble of footsteps ahead.

"What's going on up ahead?" Huineng looked ahead vigilantly, only to see the trees in the distance swaying, and then two animals appeared. There was a sika deer desperately running towards it, and a colorful tiger was chasing after it with its legs.

Seeing that the sika deer was almost caught by the tiger several times, fortunately its body was flexible, twisted its body when the tiger's claws were about to be caught, and changed its escape route in time, so it was fortunate to escape. However, it can be seen from the running condition of the sika deer that it is tired at this time.

Seeing this, Hui Neng knew that if this chase continued, the sika deer would definitely not be able to escape from the tiger's mouth, and a bloody disaster would soon happen in front of him.

How can you see death and not save it?! "But how do you go to the rescue?" Hui Neng, who has always had the idea of great compassion and great compassion, stood there, and his thoughts were swirling like lightning: now he only has a small hoe in his hand to collect medicine, and if he rushes forward to fight the tiger with this small hoe as a weapon, he will definitely suffer a big loss. Looking at the surrounding terrain, a large rock wall is high and steep, not far to the left. A bright light flew in front of him, and he immediately bent down and picked up a fist-sized stone.

The sika deer is getting closer and closer, and the colorful tiger is getting closer and closer. When it tried to wade through the stream, its front hooves stepped on a pebble in the stream, and it slipped forward, causing it to do a somersault forward, and fell into the stream, with its feet facing the sky.

When the tiger saw its prey fall into the stream, he chased it to the side of the stream, stopped his steps, pressed his body forward, lay on the ground with his two front legs, kicked his hind legs, roared, and was about to rise into the air, and pounced on the sika deer that had fallen in the stream.

At this critical moment, Huineng bravely rushed forward against the tiger, and slammed his right hand holding the stone. The stone shot at the tiger like a cannonball.

Huineng was born as a firewood boy, with strong arms, and the strength of throwing stones is certainly not small. The stone was like a divine help, impartial, and with a "snap", it hit the nose of the colorful tiger hard.

The stone was angular and angular, and the tiger's nose was bleeding, and it roared so hard that it could not restrain its momentum, and after it pounced, it fell into the stream with a "bang", and was choked by the stream several times. The water of the stream was less than a foot deep, and the tiger struggled so hard that he managed to climb up to the shore of the stream, and shook his head vigorously to shake off the water that flowed from his eyes. After such a toss, the tiger with an injured nose was dizzy for a while.

The sika deer that fell in the stream took advantage of the fact that the tiger was dizzy, struggled to roll over in the stream, ran ashore, and ran desperately with his legs, and soon disappeared into the dense forest over there.

The colorful tiger was about to capture its prey, but it was hit hard, and when it climbed up to the shore from the stream, and then calmed down, the sika deer planted in the stream had long been gone. There was a person standing not far away, and that was Huineng.

Seeing that the delicious prey was about to arrive, it escaped. The colorful tiger vented all its anger on Huineng, roared, and pounced towards Huineng.

Huineng had already taken precautions, kicked with both feet, and with an arrow step, he jumped behind a large vertebral tree, and the tiger pounced.

Although the tiger is ferocious, its neck is extremely thick, and it cannot turn back in time when it is in place. When it moved, it turned around and found that the tree behind it was empty.

It turned out that Huineng had already looked at the terrain and knew that he could escape from the big rock wall on the left, so after the tiger pounced in the air, he sprinted towards the stone wall from behind the big vertebral tree like a rabbit, jumped up under the stone wall, grabbed the protruding rock with both hands, and climbed up quickly.

The gray-white stone wall of Baihu Mountain is dozens of zhang high, very steep, and the ground is almost at a right angle of 90 degrees, and Huineng is used to climbing high and low on the big trees or stone walls in the mountain from childhood to adulthood, and he has to be very flexible and vigorous in his skills, and soon climbed a few zhang high.

The colorful tiger chased under the stone wall, unwilling to let Huineng escape, and ran to try to pounce on the heights, but its claws were hard, and it could not grasp the protruding rocks and fell to the ground.

The colorful tiger pounced several times, not only could not catch Huineng, but made its claws hurt, and fell from a high place and made its body hurt, so it had to watch Huineng climb higher and higher under the stone wall, and finally it left helplessly wagging its tail.

On this day, after a night rain, the sun had not yet peeked out of the clouds.

The clouds are flowing on Tianlu Mountain, the green lan is fluttering, the wild grass and mountain flowers are still stained with beads and dew, and the air is filled with bursts of moisture.

The two monkeys, Ah Zuo and Ah You, picked some wild fruits in the mountains and took them to the grass hut.

Huineng and Li are playing with the monkeys.

Liang Diqing took some salt and oil and came to the grass shed to visit Huineng's mother and son.

During the chat, Liang Diqing said that the family's hunting dog Ah Wang was about to give birth, and he wanted to find some papaya to promote milk.

After hearing this, Huineng said: "A few days ago, I saw two wild papaya trees at the mouth of the tiger pit, and the melons and fruits on the trees are almost ripe, so I will take you there." ”

"That's great." Liang Diqing clapped his hands happily.

Liang Diqing and Huineng took the two monkeys out of the grass hut and walked towards the tiger pit.

When I came to the mouth of the tiger pit, there were indeed two tall papaya trees on the side of the road, which may have grown up after someone ate ripe papaya and spit out the seeds on the road. The fruit on the tree has turned brown and yellow.

Huineng put the leaves to his mouth, whistled, and raised his hand to point up.

When the two monkeys heard the order, they climbed in two, and soon picked the papaya from the tree and put it at Huineng's feet.

Suddenly, Liang Diqing made a discovery, and pointed to the ground two feet away from the papaya tree: "Ah, look, there are blood stains here." ”

It had just rained heavily yesterday and there was still mud on the ground. There was a large pool of blood on the messy barren meadow, and some gray-white hair.

Liang Diqing picked up the bloody hair and identified: "This is the hair left after the hare was bitten." ”

Huineng bent down and looked down here, looked there, carefully investigated, and exclaimed: "Ah, big footprints! ”

Liang Diqing walked over silently and saw a deep footprint left on the soft and damp soil. As he looked, he asked, "Ah Neng, are these the footprints of a tiger?" ”

After taking a closer look, Huineng replied, "Uncle Di Qing, you're right, this is a typical big tiger footprint. ”
