Above the iceberg, in the crystal house.

A huge water porcelain furnace is being wrapped tightly by the five-flavor real fire burning underneath.

"Zhuxing, you go and add some dry firewood to the furnace pit, the real fire doesn't look strong enough." Bai Yanzi sat on the futon, closed his eyes and practiced, and then opened his mouth to the apprentice in front of him.

Zhu Xing is the apprentice that Bai Yan received in the teahouse that day.

To do good is to do good for all things.

"Yes, Master."

On the one hand, Zhu Xing skimmed the dry wood and added it to the furnace pit, but on the other hand, he had some doubts in his heart

This real fire is already so strong, my eyes hurt when it shakes, why is it not strong enough, and besides, Master is obviously with his eyes closed, how can he see this fire?

"What are you thinking?"

Bai Yan raised his heavy eyelids slightly and said angrily.

"Master, the apprentice doesn't understand, this is really hot, why ......"

Zhu Xing's voice lowered as he spoke, Bai Yan had actually seen through what the kid was thinking, so he immediately said, "Why is it not strong enough for the teacher, and why can the teacher see this fire with his eyes closed, right?" ”

Zhu Xing only nodded humbly, his eyes lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Bai Yan, "Yes, the master may solve the apprentice's doubts?" ”

"Zhuxing, you have been refining medicine with your teacher for a while, and you have also taught you medical skills, so to speak, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, and the rest depends on your own understanding."

Bai Yan just said so, in the clouds, it sounded very profound, and said, "Have you heard the story of Shenxiu and Huineng?" ”

Zhu Xing shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it." ”

Bai Yanjin said slowly to the elements, "Legend has it that one day in order to test the shallowness and depth of the public's Zen understanding, Hongren was ready to pay for the clothes and ordered everyone to make a test. However, after seeing it, Hongren said to the public: If the future generations can practice according to this, they will also achieve victory, and persuade the public to recite it. On the other hand, Hui Neng was in the repair room, and accidentally heard the monk reciting this side, and he also changed it to a cloud: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, the Buddha nature is pure, where to stir up dust! ”

"Master, what does this mean?"

Zhu Xing listened carefully, but he thought that I am not a monk, and the master said that this has nothing to do with me.

"Zhuxing, in your opinion, who is better between Shenxiu and Huineng?" Bai Yan looked at Zhuxing with straight eyes, and did not say anything else, only asked this first.

"From the apprentice's point of view, it is naturally better to be able to be wise." After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Xing replied honestly.

"Why?" Bai Yan then asked again.

"Hmm...... Although what Shenxiu said was right, it was not good, because he only saw the surface, and Hui Neng was in the heart, so the apprentice thought that Hui Neng was better. ”

Bai Yan nodded appreciatively beside him, "You are right, this is true for cultivating Buddhism, and the same is true for practicing medicine, the best healer must not only unite knowledge and action, but also unite the mind, both to heal the sick and to heal the heart." ”

"Oh, Master, the apprentice understands, what about you, everything is already one, and the apprentice is much lacking." Zhu Xing suddenly said this casually, and he felt quite vigilant.

Then, Bai Yan raised his hand and beckoned Zhuxing to a closer place, took a deep breath, pulled Zhuxing with an extremely serious face and said, "Since you know everything, then you can teach almost everything as a teacher, before you leave the world, there is still an important matter to explain to you, you must do it well, do not delay, do not be careless." ”

"What? How could Master? Although your health has not been good lately, you are not ......" When Zhu Xing learned of this, he sincerely left two lines of tears, and said incoherently in disbelief.
