After the date was agreed, Chen Zhi and Fat Wei quickly set off for West Bank City, West Bank City is a famous tourist city, and the foreign population is endless, because this time the mission is only to meet, and the meeting place is in a public place, and there is no danger involved, so the ghost knife did not go with them.

In order not to attract attention, the two of them did not bring other people, but just bought two sets of clean and formal Tang costumes to wear, looking like two young people with devout beliefs in Buddhism.

It was about 9 o'clock in the morning when they arrived in West Bank City, and the original plan was to meet Master Puhang at 10:30, but in the morning they added an urgent itinerary, and finally they waited for a long time in the guest house hall of Tianfa Temple, until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the assistant monk came out and said that they could go in.

The assistant monk took them all the way to the depths of the Tianfa Temple, babbling to them about the rules of meeting, and along the way they saw various Buddhist monuments, including stone tablets from the Tang and Song dynasties, Buddha statues, and even the emperor's inscription.

The assistant monk instructed them all the way, saying that Master Puhang has a very high status, is the chief abbot of Tianfa Temple, and is the president of the World Buddhist Association, so that they must pay attention to their tone when they speak, and don't ask too many questions, and Master Puhang is old and in poor health, so he can't be too anxious to speak.

The assistant looked at Fat Wei uneasily, Fat Wei deliberately wore a beige Tang suit today, his hair was neatly combed to the side, and he looked as formal as a blind date, but he still couldn't hide his ruffian.

The assistant monk frowned when he looked at Fat Wei, and specially instructed him to speak politely, not to speak out, and not to make Master Puhang angry.

Under the assistant's instructions, Fat Wei walked very nervously along the way, and after passing through several halls, they finally entered the reception hall of Tianfa Temple......

As soon as he entered, Chen Zhi smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance, the room was very empty, there were several futons on the ground, and an old monk sat there quietly.

Before this, Chen Zhi had imagined the scene of this meeting several times, and in the current society, even six pure monks who attained the Tao would inevitably be contaminated with the smell of copper.

Like many famous Buddhist guest rooms, Master Puhang is expected to be dressed in a red robe and seated in an ornate hall surrounded by richly carved Buddhist murals and holding a valuable rosewood Buddha.

He may be full of Dharma and morality, and his face may be full of otherworldly nobility, but Chen Zhi will eventually find his loopholes, force him to show his feet, and discover his ugly face hidden behind the monk's robe.

But what he didn't expect was ......, when Chen Zhi entered the room, he didn't see any valuable Buddha beads and golden Buddha statues, and there was not even a little decorative furniture here.

The room was very simple, with nothing but a few futons and a small wooden table in the middle.

The table was small, with a small porcelain teapot and several teacups, one of which had a broken cut.

An old incense burner was placed on the table, and a sandalwood incense was lit on it, which was slowly emitting the fragrance, filling the whole room with incense mist.

In the middle of the room, there was an old man, he held a ring on his head, his legs were cross-legged on the futon, he did not wear a robe, only a coarse cloth monk's robe, the dress was already half-new, the corners of the clothes were full of white marks, the old man held a string of black oil shiny old wooden prayer beads, the old man's face was white eyebrows lowered, full of traces of time, was closing his eyes to recuperate.

And it was such a simple and peaceful old monk, Chen Zhi and Fat Wei actually had a sense of oppression that they did not dare to invade, and the old monk obviously didn't notice them coming in, and kept meditating with their eyes closed.

Time passed second by second, their time was very limited, and Fat Wei finally couldn't bear it,

"Hey! Orange, this old monk may be asleep, or ......, let's call him? Fat Wei looked at Chen Zhi with a gesture.

Chen Zhi nodded slightly in agreement, and Fat Wei took a few steps forward at this time

"Hey! Puhang Master ......".

Fat Wei called softly, not daring to get too close.

But the old monk in front of him didn't seem to hear, his eyes were still closed, his eyebrows were white and long, and he almost covered his eyes.

Fat Wei called out twice, but the other party still didn't respond, motionless like a clay Buddha statue.

In the end, Fat Wei had no choice but to walk over and push the old monk's shoulder with his hand, "Hey! Master ......, Master Puhang ......, Galeries Lafayette? ”

Fat Wei pushed with his hand, and Master Puhang's eyes slowly opened, and then yawned.

"Amitabha, the old man has just fallen asleep, good and good~~~".

This is simply half dead to the fat majesty, thinking that this old monk's heart is really big enough, just sleep when he says it.

After Fat Wei and Chen Zhi introduced themselves, they each found a futon to sit down, Master Puhang was very modest and did not have any shelves, but he was indeed old, his hands trembling and took down two tea bowls from the small table, and poured tea for Chen Zhi and Fat Wei with his own hands.

Master Puhang's behavior undoubtedly increased Chen Zhi and Fat Wei's good impression of him, especially Fat Wei, who even revered the old monk a little and forgot what he was here for.

"What do you two want to come here?" , Master Puhang's health seems to be very bad, and he keeps coughing while talking!

"Oh!" ，

I don't know why, Chen Zhi was a little nervous in front of the old monk, he calmed down and said,

"I have heard the reputation of Master Puhang for a long time, and today I came from afar to ask for Buddhism! Both of us are stupid people, although we always want to enter the Buddha's door, but we can't always open our minds, and I hope that the master can guide us through the maze......"

"Those who enter the empty door do not need to be smart, they just need to have no distractions and no words! And what you are talking about is not what you think ...... in your hearts",

After Master Puhang finished speaking, his eyes lowered, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at Chen Zhi and Fat Wei,

"Think again! What is the purpose of your trip, don't talk about it anymore......".

"We ......",

Chen Zhi was suddenly speechless, the set of words he had prepared before was completely unspeakable, in front of this plainly dressed old monk, Chen Zhi was a little trembling, and he didn't dare to speak out......

Master Puhang raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhi calmly, the calm in his eyes was indescribable, he then picked up his teacup, shook it slowly, closed his eyes and recited a scripture, and then drank the tea.

"Master, do you still have to chant before drinking tea?" ，

Fat Wei was a little embarrassed to see the scene, and hurriedly played the round with a hippie smile.

"This is the ...... of atonement," the old monk said in a low voice.

"The Buddha contemplates a bowl of water, 84,000 insects, if you don't hold this mantra, it's like eating the flesh of all living beings. When I drink this water, I am drinking the flesh of this water worm, so I am ashamed of them, all living beings, more than 10 million people with knives, if there is a demonic obstacle in the heart, it is easy to kill! ”

After the old monk finished speaking, his cloudy eyes slowly raised, and he looked at Chen Zhi again,

"The benefactor has come today to get rid of evil. Am I evil in your eyes? ”
