Liang Yulian sighed deeply: "It's a pity that Xiaolan passed away at such a young age. ”

"Yes, the world is impermanent! When we learned that Xiaolan passed away, I was sick at the time, and Neng'er was also very sad, so sad that I didn't think about tea and dinner, but I was seriously ill, and the whole person lost weight. Later, under the care of Shanzi's father, he slowly got better. Later, Neng'er became good partners with Shanzi, Ah Si, and Sister Mi, but because Sister Mi married Boss Tan, the three of their friends who cut wood together also parted ways. After our mother and son returned to their hometown, Neng'er still went up the mountain to collect firewood, until he was twenty-four years old, he sent firewood to a restaurant, and heard the shopkeeper reciting the Golden Light Sutra at the door of the store to become enlightened, and later left home to go to Hubei Dongchan Temple to worship Master Hongren to learn Buddhism. I went home for more than a year, and I was chased and killed by my fellow brothers, and Neng'er carried me to the sky overnight to the sky......" Li Shi told with emotion what had happened in recent years.

Liang Yulian listened to Li's crying, and before she knew it, the east had revealed pieces of fish belly white. The faint morning mist was hazy, and a red sun was rising, which seemed to be full of infinite vitality.

After lunch, Liang Diqing and Li had a homely meal at home, and Chi Bin yawned twice, saying that he was a little sleepy, and went back to his room for a lunch break.

Liang Yulian looked at Liang Diqing and Li, "Daddy, aunt, you are chatting at home, and Brother A-Neng and I will go to the opposite mountain to pick up some wild ginseng tea and come back to you." ”

Liang Diqing looked at the Li family, "The older the lotus girl is, the more sensible she is." Then to Liang Yulian and Huineng, "Go ahead, don't forget to go home for dinner." ”

Li Shi nodded at Liang Diqing, smiled and said, "Ah Lian is a virtuous lady and filial piety, whoever marries her is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life." ”

Liang Yulian heard Li and her father talking about her, so she deliberately pretended not to hear, and carried the basket and said, "Daddy, aunt, let's go." ”

Liang Diqing and Li said in unison: "Go ahead." ”

Huineng and Liang Yulian walked on the winding mountain road of Tianlu Mountain in the autumn colors that melted in the afternoon.

Suddenly, Hui Neng's eyes looked through the tree and saw two warrior monks coming on the mountain road in the distance: one was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a head like a fight, a face as big as a basin, and a murderous aura. The other is sturdy and resembles a large winter melon.

They were all dressed in gray-black monk's robes, with a coarse cloth belt around their waists, black trousers tied to their feet, and flat monk shoes under their feet. A tall man walking in front, holding a bright and sharp axe. The dwarf boy who followed behind was armed with a large shiny knife.

Ah, I finally recognized it, all because the nicknames of the two warrior monks are too well-known in the Dongchan Temple in Huangmei, Hubei: the tall guy with a sharp axe in front is called "Sha Danju", and the short boy with a knife in the back is nicknamed "Blind Tou Han"! Seeing the two of them coming with weapons in their hands, Huineng couldn't help but gasp.

At that time, Hui Neng, who was a miscellaneous servant, lived in the north courtyard of Huangmei Dongchan Temple, and the warrior monk's meditation room in the south courtyard was close to his residence, and everyone met occasionally in the corridor or aisle.

The reason why Huineng is more impressed with them is because the "Sand Danju" is famous in Huangmei Dongchan Temple. He once defeated nine of his companions in a row in the martial arts competition of the whole temple, and finally lost to Hui Ming, who had been a general of the imperial court, and was the runner-up. Because his common name is Sha Daju, and the other monks in the temple give him the nickname "Sha Danju", not many people will call him by his monk name in person.

Sha Danju is bold on weekdays, once served as the president of Zhenjiang in Zhejiang, attacked the city and plundered the village, took the lead, the board axe wielded, touched it to die, met it died.

Sha Danju should have made great achievements in war, but his colleagues were jealous and framed him as a collaborator, but fortunately, he was saved from prison by the countrymen who were officials. After this incident, Sha Daju saw through the red dust and escaped into the empty door.

The dwarf boy with a big knife in his hand is also a warrior monk of Huangmei Dongchan Temple - Meng Hou Ang. He was a stoneworker in northern Shaanxi, extremely powerful, simple-minded, daring to fight and kill but brave and unplanned, and his companions assigned him any dangerous heavy work to do, and he did it without worry. Because his surname "Meng" has a similar pronunciation to "blind", and his name "ang" and "han" are also similar, people have given him the nickname "blind head Han".

Liang Yulian saw Huineng tiptoeing over, followed his gaze, and saw two warrior monks holding weapons in the distance, looking around with thieves, searching for something, and asked Huineng: "Brother Aneng, the monk was supposed to recite scriptures and learn Buddhism in the monastery, and they came to our Tianlu Mountain with knives and axes, what do they want to do?" ”

Hui Neng has been with Liang Yulian for a long time in Tianlu Mountain, and knows that she is a trustworthy person, so he said bluntly: "They are warrior monks from Dongchan Temple in Huangmei, Hubei, and they came from the north this time in order to hunt me down." ”

Huineng's words surprised Liang Yulian, and asked puzzledly: "Ah, you are kind and helpful to people everywhere, how can such a good person have a grudge against them?" ”

Huineng sighed and said, "The ins and outs of this matter are as long as a whole piece of cloth, and I will tell you in detail when I have a chance in the future." ”

Liang Yulian worriedly: "Once you fall into their hands, you will definitely die." Hurry up and run to the back mountain and hide. ”

Huineng waved his hand: "No, just hiding this is not the final solution. ”

Liang Yulian felt in a dilemma: "If you want to fight, you say you don't fight; If you want to hide, you say you don't hide. Now that you're burning your eyebrows, you'll have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds! ”

After Huineng fixed his eyes, he said confidently: "There is a way, this matter cannot be defeated, only outwitted." ”

"Outwitted? How to outwit? ”

"Listen to me," Hui Neng leaned over and whispered to Liang Yulian about his plan.

Liang Yulian's face was surprised at first, then turned flat, and finally nodded with a smile: "Good, good, good!" Just do as you say! ”

Huineng dodged behind a plum tree with a thick trunk, secretly watched the progress of the situation, and acted when the opportunity came.

Liang Yulian carried a bamboo basket, drilled out of the plum forest, crossed the stream, walked on the mountain path, sang mountain songs, and walked towards the "blind head Han" and "sand dan house" head-on.

"Blind Tou Han" and "Sha Dan Ju" came to Tianlu Mountain, saw the vast mountains, the four fields were quiet, only heard the sound of the waterfall in the distance, there was no human figure around, and they were wondering in their hearts, and they didn't know which direction to search for Huineng, and suddenly there was a mountain song, and they saw someone coming towards them along the mountain path. The two of them were in good spirits and swaggered forward.

The blind man shouted and asked, "Hey, girl, may I ask you about someone?" ”

Liang Yulian blinked at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Liang Yulian has never left Tianlu Mountain ten miles away in her life, so when she hears those rapping northern dialects, it is like "chickens and ducks talking", so she still waved her hands, pointed to her ears again, made gestures, and said, "I don't understand what you are saying." ”

Blind Tou Han and Sha Danju came to the south for a while to hunt down Huineng, so they could barely hear the meaning of Liang Yulian's answer, and after the two discussed it, Sha Danju said in half-salty and half-light Cantonese: "We are looking for someone and want to inquire from you." ”

Liang Yulian frowned: "The sky and the earth are big, and there are more people in the world than the trees on Tianlu Mountain, I don't know who you are looking for." ”

Sha Danju pointed to the east: "He is also from your Xinzhou, and his family lives on the side of Longshan." ”

Liang Yulian was angry: "Since his family lives on the side of Longshan, you should go to Longshan to find it!" ”

Sha Danju: "We searched for many days on the side of Longshan, but there was no trace of him. We suspect that he ran to Tianlu Mountain and went into hiding. ”

The blind man agreed: "We speculate that this time it is eight or nine and ten." ”

Liang Yulian said angrily: "Ahem, how do I know what the person you are looking for looks like?" ”

Sha Danju: "We have a portrait of him, you can take a look." ”

Blind Tou Han took out a white cloth from his arms, shook it off, raised it in front of Liang Yulian, and accentuated his tone: "This person's name is Huineng." ”

Liang Yulian looked at this hand-painted bust intently: the face was pointed and thin, the forehead was high, the cheekbones were convex, and the eyes were small, which was only two or three points similar to Huineng's appearance.

It's not surprising that a real person doesn't look much like a portrait. Before the fifth ancestor Hongren passed the robes and golden bowls to Huineng, there were thousands of monks in Dongchan Temple, as well as dozens of inconspicuous miscellaneous servants. And that class of miscellaneous servants only lived in the north courtyard of Dongchan Temple, planting vegetables, scooping rice, collecting firewood, and cooking rice, without special approval, they were not allowed to cross the thunder pond for half a step. On weekdays, the monks in the south courtyard read the Buddha and listened to the scriptures, and there was no miscellaneous service in the north courtyard. Huineng is usually a person who does not like to be showy, in the Dongchan Temple for just eight months, when he took over the mantle of the five ancestors and fled south, Shenxiu's disciples only painted this portrait with a short memory, so the painting was only two or three percent similar. In fact, Sha Danju and Blind Han have no impression of Huineng, and this time they went south just to look for people according to the portrait.

Liang Yulian nodded lightly while looking at the portrait: "This person, I seem to have seen it, I have seen it." ”
