Winter goes to spring, and a new year begins. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Ning looked up at the big trees above him as usual, and he was counting the leaves to pass the long time.

"The master has an order, and the kneeling worshippers outside the door are inside."

A long voice came from inside the temple.

Xu Ning's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he stared at the door of the Taoist temple motionlessly.

When the leisurely words came from inside the Taoist temple, Xu Ning's look of disbelief lingered on his face for a long time.

"I succeeded, and he was willing to take me as an apprentice." Xu Ning muttered ecstatically.

Click~~~

The door of the Taoist temple slowly opened in front of Xu Ning's eyes.

A middle-aged man with long hair walked out of it, followed by dozens of disciples dressed in the same green clothes behind him.

Lin Xue'er quietly hid on the side of the door, looking at Xu Ning with a happy look on her face, she was also sincerely happy for Xu Ning.

"Bow down, Master let you in, get up!" The middle-aged man looked indifferently at Xu Ning who was kneeling on the ground, but in the heart of the middle-aged man, he really admired Xu Ning's perseverance.

After Xu Ning calmed down his excitement, he immediately planned to stand up.

But no matter how Xu Ning moved his legs, he couldn't move a bit, because Xu Ning's legs had been deeply trapped in the stone floor, completely glued to the stone floor.

And Xu Ning had almost no blood flow in his legs due to his long kneeling.

"I ...... I ......" Xu Ning tugged at his legs with both hands, but he couldn't pull them out of the stone floor.

The middle-aged man in the lead shook his head slightly at Xu Ning's appearance, and then waved his big hand towards Xu Ning: "Okay now, let's go!" ”

A strong mana emanated from the middle-aged man's hands, Xu Ning's legs instantly appeared vibrant, and Xu Ning was also lifted up by the middle-aged mana and stood on the floor.

"Thank you, senior." Xu Ning said to the middle-aged man, then lowered his head and looked at his legs, he could now clearly feel that his legs were showing vitality again.

The middle-aged man accepted Xu Ning's thanks and nodded slightly, and Xu Ning immediately followed behind the middle-aged man and walked towards the inside of the Taoist temple.

When Xu Ning just stepped into the door, his legs involuntarily trembled slightly. Entering this gate has been Xu Ning's dream over the years, and now it can come true like a dream, and Xu Ning's body trembles with joy.

"Come on!" Lin Xue'er looked at Xu Ning and shook her fist, and the joy on her pretty face was not hidden at all.

Xu Ning responded directly to Lin Xue'er and gave her a big smile.

………

Patriarch Bodhi sat on the top of the main hall of the Taoist temple, and he said with emotion in his heart: "This child's perseverance is extraordinary, if you can have an opportunity, this child's future will be limitless!" ”

"That's it, I was upset by taking that monkey in the first place, and this time it looks like I'm going to make an exception again." Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes and gently shook his head and muttered to himself.

Speaking of this, Patriarch Bodhi remembered the monkey at the beginning, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"It's another child I can't see through, I don't know what this child's talent is?" Patriarch Bodhi muttered with some curiosity.

Patriarch Bodhi was very clear about Xu Ning's every move kneeling outside the gate, and he knew that no matter how time dragged on, Xu Ning would not leave here. Therefore, Bodhi Patriarch had a slight idea and planned to bring Xu Ning in to take a good look.

Da Da Da ......

Xu Ning followed behind the middle-aged man and walked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple step by step.

"Master, the seeker has been brought." After walking to the main hall, the middle-aged man looked at the Bodhi Patriarch who was sitting quietly on the high platform with his eyes closed, and then bent down and said respectfully.

Xu Ning looked up at this white-haired old man in a simple robe, and Xu Ning knew that this person was the Bodhi Patriarch he was looking for.

Poof!

"Jun Luoji has come to ask for the Tao, please ask the ancestor to agree." Xu Ning immediately gritted his teeth and knelt down and kowtowed to Patriarch Bodhi and said loudly.

One breath ......

Two Interest......

Three-interest ......

Patriarch Bodhi slowly opened his eyes, and a fine light shot from Patriarch Bodhi's eyes towards Xu Ning.

Patriarch Bodhi sighed helplessly in his heart: "A child who is hazy and completely incomprehensible, alas! ”

"Jun Luosha? Why are you kneeling outside the temple? Patriarch Bodhi's words reverberated throughout the hall for a long time like a supreme Taoist voice.

"The disciple is only for the sake of seeking the Tao." After a shadow flashed in Xu Ning's heart, he bowed his head and replied without being humble or arrogant.

Patriarch Bodhi sat on the top of the main hall and shook his head gently, although Patriarch Bodhi couldn't tell what the old man Xu Ning thought, but Patriarch Bodhi could judge that Xu Ning's words were not sincere.

"Why do you seek the Tao?" Patriarch Bodhi then asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning bit his chapped lip, slowly raised his head and looked at the Bodhi Patriarch who was sitting high and said, "Just to not be bullied by others, I also ask the patriarch to be perfect." ”

Boom!

After Xu Ning said this, he kowtowed fiercely to Patriarch Bodhi, and the sound of kowtowing hit everyone's hearts.

A wisp of bright red blood slowly overflowed from Xu Ning's forehead, but Xu Ning didn't have any intention of wiping it.

"What is the Word? What is the heart? Jun Luoji, you give me a reason to accept you. When Patriarch Bodhi saw Xu Ning kowtowing so fiercely, he also felt a trace of helplessness in his heart.

If Xu Ning's origin and fate had not been covered up by the Heavenly Dao, Patriarch Bodhi would have accepted Xu Ning as an apprentice a long time ago and taught him well. But everything in Xu Ning was covered by the Great Dao, and Patriarch Bodhi would be so cautious.

After all, Patriarch Bodhi doesn't want to teach a Monkey King, so Patriarch Bodhi will definitely be annoyed to death by those people.

"I ......" Xu Ning was completely overwhelmed by Patriarch Bodhi's rhetorical question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

"If you can't answer this question, then tell me, what is your understanding of the Tao and the practice?" Patriarch Bodhi continued to ask Xu Ning with an expressionless face.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Ning slowly looked up at the Bodhi Patriarch sitting cross-legged on the high platform.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. The Buddha nature is always pure, and where there is dust. The heart is a Bodhi tree, and it is a mirror platform. The mirror is pure, where it is stained with dust. ”

Xu Ning knew that this was a question that Patriarch Bodhi was testing him, so Xu Ning thought for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. Bodhi only seeks from the heart, and He Lao seeks the mystery from the outside. I heard that according to this practice, the West is only in the present. ”

These words are the understanding of the Tao and Buddha by later scholars, so Xu Ning read them out word by word.

When Xu Ning slowly finished finishing the poem, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
