The breeze flashed leisurely, stirring up a few candles in the hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Master Yideng sat cross-legged in the first place, and on either side of him, there were two old monks, their faces were solemn, their faces were quiet, their faces were cold, and their faces were kind.

On both sides of the hall, two rows of relatively young monks with five opposite the master of a lamp sat quietly in front of the two rows of candles, silent, and the atmosphere was tense. And in a corner, Wuyu was also sitting with a tired face, a little depressed, obviously not completely out of today's defeat.

In front of the two futons, there is a small coffee table, on which a small red firefly stove and a set of tea sets are placed, and on the stove, a pot of water is boiling.

I saw that the kettle made a low roar, and the misty water vapor floated with the night wind, like smoke and fog, which looked very ethereal and illusory.

After Xianghe led the two Tianyuan brothers into the hall, he quietly walked to the side and sat on the spare futon in front of Wuyu.

"Master Yideng, all the masters..." With a slight salute, the Tianyuan monk asked softly: "I don't know why I called the poor monks and brothers late at night!" ”

"It's not a big deal..." Smiling slightly, Master Yideng gestured to the four old monks beside him and explained: "It's just that the four junior disciples know that Master Tianyuan is from Shaolin Temple, so they want to see it..."

Master Yideng has not said it thoroughly for the time being, but whether it is far away or dusk, I understand the meaning of Master Yideng in my heart, and it seems that tonight will not be good.

Sure enough, feeling the slightly heavy atmosphere in the hall, Dusk pursed his lips, he still didn't guess wrong, this group of old monks really didn't have all kindness to their senior brothers.

"Come, the poor monk will introduce you to..." As if he didn't feel the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the hall, Master Yideng still introduced his four juniors in turn with a smile on his face: "One cause, one leaf, one dust, one autumn!" ”

"Amitabha..."

"Amitabha..." The four sitting Zen masters did not hold it up, and gently returned the salute.

"Sit down..."

"Thank you!" After leading the senior brother Kongming to sit down, Monk Tianyuan looked at the five Zen masters opposite and thanked him softly.

Seeing that the two of them were already seated, Master Yideng did not continue to go around in circles, and said: "Please invite Master Tianyuan to come over today, on the one hand, the four junior disciples want to meet the Shaolin monks..." On the other hand, he turned his head and glanced at the two junior brothers, Yiye and Yichen, and Master Yideng continued: "Yiye and Yichen want to ask Master Tianyuan!" ”

"But..." His eyes flashed, and the monk Tianyuan understood Master Yideng's reminder, his eyes moved slightly, and after nodding to Yiyin and Yiqiu Zen Master, he looked at Yichen and Yiye Zen Master, without modesty, and directly said yes.

It seems that there should only be two old monks Yichen and Yiye for their senior brothers, looking at the two old monks whose faces became a little ugly because of Tianyuan's senior brothers' words, Dusk secretly smiled in his heart, Master Yideng was just polite, but who would have thought that the senior brother was not as modest as usual tonight. Although he was not aggressive just now, at least he did not put his position very low.

But think about it, speaking of which, Senior Brother Tianyuan is half a generation lower than Master Yideng and others, and that is mainly because Senior Brother himself took the initiative to lower it.

The reason why Master Yideng can have such a status in Tianlong Temple is because of the identity of Master Yideng and his prestige in the rivers and lakes. The senior brother surrendered himself by half a generation, out of respect for the master of the lamp.

According to normal circumstances, at the age of Master Yideng, he should actually stay in the Dali Palace, instead of escaping into the empty door. Due to some personal reasons, Master Yideng became a monk in advance, resulting in most of the monks of the three generations of the silent generation of Tianlong Temple choosing the state of semi-retreat, while the monks of the first generation presided over the Tianlong Temple in advance.

If it is really calculated, if it is a formal discussion of Buddhism, it is obvious that Senior Brother Tianyuan will definitely not put his own generation below the generation of Tianlong Temple, plus he now represents Shaolin, Senior Brother Tianyuan is expected to face the challenges of the two with today's way of dealing with it without being humble or arrogant.

It's just that I didn't expect Senior Brother Tianyuan, who is as indifferent as water on weekdays, to become serious, and he is still quite majestic! Come to hit the soy sauce at dusk and complain in my heart.

Monk Tianyuan's answer made the atmosphere in the hall tense again, obviously, neither Yichen nor Yiye Zen Master thought that in their home field, this monk from Shaolin could be so unscrupulous. That's right, the monks, who were already hostile to the Shaolin monks, thought that the attitude of the Tianyuan monk was a bit unscrupulous at the moment.

Now that the situation has been explained, Master Yideng did not mix up the next thing, and after sighing lightly, he and Yiyin and Yiqiu, the two junior disciples, quietly watched the next development of events on the side.

Today, the Zen master who easily won a discussion of the Buddha was in a relatively excited state of mind, and at this moment he saw that Brother Yideng was not speaking, so he sighed and asked: "I heard that the two are senior monks from the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism Shaolin!" ”

"Yes!" Monk Tianyuan was about to brake with silence and replied softly.

"It's just that the poor monk wonders who sealed this Zen ancestral court!" Zen Master Yichen obviously didn't think that Shaolin, which now seemed to be declining, could still have the status of the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, so he directly asked.

Hearing Yichen's question, not to mention Monk Tianyuan, even Dusk felt that this question was a bit too unstandard, this kind of question did not say Senior Brother Tianyuan, even Dusk, he could answer one or two.

Sure enough, for this first question, the monk Tianyuan explained softly: "When the Bodhidharma patriarch crossed the river with a reed, he crossed the river with a reed, and for nine years on the wall of the Shaolin Mountain, he realized the avenue and created my Zen lineage, so that future generations will respect Shaolin as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, which is really a respectful title!" ”

"Honorifics, huh!" The corners of his mouth were raised, and Zen Master Yichen then asked: "Then the poor monk wants to ask, whether the master cultivates Buddha and pays attention to no desire and no desire, and the four are empty, so in this case, why does Shaolin still bear the name of the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, why not put it down!" ”

My day, this old monk is really poisonous, these two questions are asked together, either agree together, or veto together.

If Senior Brother Tianyuan answers and agrees with this statement, it means that he wants to give up the status of the ancestral court of Shaolin Zen Buddhism. Although it is said that the status of the ancestral court of Shaolin Zen Buddhism cannot be changed by a discussion of Buddha, if the senior brother Tianyuan, who now represents Shaolin, says to let it go, it will definitely be detrimental to the reputation of Shaolin, and it can be said that it is even worse for the current Shaolin.

But if it is negative, the old monk of Yichen will definitely ask next, he can't even put down a mere name, is the Shaolin monk a little wasted, even if Senior Brother Tianyuan takes all the attacks and preserves the reputation of Shaolin, but Senior Brother Tianyuan is likely to bear the infamy from Tianlong Temple.

This old monk, but at the beginning, he was so treacherous, he was really cunning! Dusk has a heartbeat.
