Due to different purposes, Qiao Feng and Meng Xunzhen sneaked into the Shaolin Temple separately. Meng Xunzhen visited Shaolin in order to take the "Jiuyang True Scripture" in the Condor Era. At that time, as a guest of honor, he was led by the monks to look at the various scenic spots in the Shaolin Temple, which was a familiar road.

He avoided the patrolling monks all the way to the location of the Shaolin Heavy Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Using all his strength to avoid the strict guards, Meng Xunzhen quietly infiltrated the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The outside of this scripture pavilion is heavily guarded, but the inside is unguarded. There were several lanterns lit in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he wandered through the rows of bookshelves full of various Buddhist scriptures and martial arts atlases, and secretly sighed that Shaolin had laid a solid foundation after thousands of years of precipitation and accumulation. With this foundation, even if there is no outstanding talent who is the crown for a while, it is enough to maintain its position as a leader.

He watched it for a while, but instead of flipping through the seventy-two stunt cheats of Shaolin's world-shattering stunts, he flew up to the beam on the roof, carefully hid his figure, and waited patiently.

After a while, the window on the side of the pavilion suddenly opened silently, and a gray-clothed monk with a tall and thin figure and a gray face covered in a gray cloth floated in like a dead leaf.

Meng Xun's heart tightened, he held his breath, closed his eyes into a line, and only showed a little gaze to peek at this person from the beam.

The gray-robed monk seemed to be very familiar with the scripture pavilion, and when he entered, he walked to a bookshelf, took an old book from the shelf, sat down on the floor in the corner of the room, turned over a page in the middle of the book in his hand, and looked down. He read it very carefully, turning each page several times, and it took him more than half an hour to finish the half of the book in his hand. After closing the book, the gray-robed monk sighed softly, and as if he was disappointed, he put the book back in its place, and then floated away through the window in which he had entered.

Meng Xunzhen floated lightly from the beam, walked to the bookshelf and took down the books that the gray-clothed monk had read, and saw the three words "Flower Finger" inscribed on the cover, and couldn't help but be puzzled. He had already guessed that the gray-clothed monk must be the target of his mission - Murong Bo, who was stealing martial arts in the Shaolin Temple after his death, according to the original book, Murong Bo should have exhausted the Shaolin 72 stunts and copied another copy. That being the case, why did he sneak into the Scripture Pavilion to look through the original secret book? Puzzled, he suddenly heard footsteps at the staircase, so he put the cheats back in his place and hid them back on the beam to peek in.

After a while, I saw an old monk in Tsing Yi staggering up the stairs, this old monk was also thin, and his age seemed to be not small, and his sparse long beard was already white. After the old monk went upstairs, he walked slowly past the bookshelves, and when he saw the messy books, he reached out to tidy them up. When he walked to the bookshelf where the "Flower Finger" cheats were placed, he reached out and picked up the cheats, opened one of the pages, looked at it, shook his head and put it back. Then he picked up a book next to him and opened it to look at it, and suddenly a very sad and disappointed look appeared on his face, and he put the book back with a heavy sigh, and continued to sort out the other bookshelves.

Meng Xunzhen got down from the beam again, walked thoughtfully to the bookshelf, picked up the cheats of "Flower Finger" again, and quickly flipped through it. When I turned to one of the pages, there was now a hard grain of rice stuck to the corner of the page. He picked up another book that the old monk had read, and saw that the cover was inscribed with the words "Miscellaneous Ahan Sutra". After turning a few pages, I suddenly found that two of the pages could not be opened together. When I looked closely, I saw that there was also a grain of rice in the middle of these two pages, gluing the two pages together.

Seeing these two small grains of rice, and then thinking of the relevant plots in the original book, Meng Xunzhen roughly understood the cause and effect before and after. Murong Boqiang practiced the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, and now the three acupoints of Yangbai, Lianquan, and Fengfu have to suffer from three times a day, and they are in pain. He didn't know that practicing Shaolin martial arts must use compassionate Buddhism to reconcile and resolve anger, and he only thought that he had missed some key details when practicing and copying the secret book, so he came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to re-study the original secret book. And the old monk in Tsing Yi is naturally the sweeping monk who has never revealed his name and identity in the original book, and his cultivation is unfathomable, and he placed the special Buddhist scriptures on the side of the martial arts cheats, with the intention of hoping that Murong Bo would get lost and return. The rice grains in the book were used by him to check if Murong Bo had come to read and what books he read, but unfortunately Murong Bo had never been able to appreciate his painstaking efforts.

Meng Xunzhen's main purpose in coming to Shaolin was to try the depth of this sweeping monk, so as to plan for the completion of the task in the future. He came out of the scripture pavilion, and when he saw that the old monk had not gone far, he quietly fell behind him and followed. After passing through several courtyards, the old monk came to a small wooden house in the back garden of Shaolin Temple, and pushed open the door and walked in. Meng Xunzhen crept closer and listened to the movement in the room first.

"Old bald donkey, you have worked so hard, have those two people been woken up by you?" A sonorous voice like a golden stone suddenly sounded in the wooden house.

Meng Xunzhen was taken aback, he never thought that there were other people in this small wooden house.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the reason why those two donors haven't broken through the obstacle is just that the opportunity has not arrived. It only takes a suitable opportunity for the old man to enlighten them with Buddhism, and they will eventually return to the sea of suffering one day. Another old voice came, and it should be the old monk speaking.

The previous voice let out a strange laugh and said, "People's hearts are only evil, how can the Dharma be changed?" In short, you have to remember our bet, if you can't ignite the two of them, you have to admit defeat! ”

The more Meng Xunzhen listened, the more surprised he became, he guessed that what these two people were talking about should be Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, and he didn't expect that the reason why the sweeping monk in the original book made a move to ignite the two and resolve their grudges for them was actually out of a gambling contract with another person.

The old monk sighed faintly: "After so many years, why can't Your Excellency let go of your obsession?" ”

"Fart!" The other man seemed to suddenly be furious, and scolded, "If you talk about obsession, isn't it an obsession that you have imprisoned the old man for so many years?" Why don't you let go of your obsession and return the old man to freedom? ”

The old monk did not argue with the man, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly recited the scripture in a low voice: "When the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Freedom is in the depths of Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he is suffering for a while. Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it......"

The Quanzhen Sect is also the essence of the three teachings of interpretation, Taoism and Confucianism, and Meng Xunzhen heard that this old monk was reciting the "Prajna Heart Sutra", the full name of which is "Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra". Xin, which refers to the heart, contains the essence and the essence of the heart. This name shows that this sutra has a special status in the three Tibetan Buddhism, which is equivalent to the heart of Shakyamuni Buddha. The whole sutra enumerates the five aggregates, the three disciplines, the twelve causes and conditions, and the four noble truths, and summarizes the principle that all dharmas are empty. Although the scriptures are only 26 crosses, they condense the essence of the 600 volumes of the Great Prajna Sutra, which is really a pearl of words.

Meng Xunzhen listened to the scriptures recited by the old monk faintly contained the great power of pointing directly to people's hearts and breaking through obstacles.

After a while, the old monk recited the Heart Sutra, and suddenly raised his voice again: "The little donor outside, if you don't think that you live in a shabby house, how about you come in and talk about it?" ”
