Walking into the small courtyard, Mu Yuan saw Tan Xiaosheng and Kong Youhuan sitting at the stone table drinking tea, and Kong Youhuan still had the broken broom in the book next to him. Both of them didn't say a word, and they spent more time looking at their cups than they were looking at each other, which was not a conversation at all, and it seemed more appropriate to describe it as "divine friendship". Seeing Mu Yuan coming in, he smiled and beckoned to them, but he was much more solemn and got up and saluted Mu Yuan.

"Master don't always be so polite, the kid really can't stand it!" Makihara hurriedly folded his hands and returned the salute.

"Huh!" After everyone sat down, there was a sudden exclamation from the empty talk, and he stared at Yan Xin up and down for a long time, his brows furrowed, but he kept shaking his head.

"Do you have any questions, Master?" Makihara asked tentatively.

Kong Youhuan shook his head again, but he didn't take his eyes back, and still stared at Yan Xin very rudely.

"One day, I sprinkled and swept in front of the hall, and saw the Bodhisattva inserting a dry branch in the bottle; The next day, I went again, but I saw a cluster of flowers. So I asked the Bodhisattva, "How can this branch grow without roots?" Is it due to grafting and blooming early, how many flowers can bloom? ”

Hearing the illusion of the sky, he suddenly said such a few words inexplicably, Mu Yuan did not respond, he took the tea handed over by Tan Xiaosheng, and took a sip, but his eyes were looking up to see how Yan Xin answered.

"A branch has no outer roots, but it has inner roots! Flowers do not leave the branches, branches do not leave the stem, and the stem does not leave the roots, so the flowers can be rooted! There is a Buddha in the sky, there is a Buddha in the earth, the heaven and the earth are not connected, but the Buddha nature is born together! How long is the Heavenly Buddha, and how short is the Earth Buddha? ”

"Teachable!" Kong Youhuan nodded, gave a salute, and asked again: "The Heavenly Buddha has a Buddha, the Earth Buddha has a Buddha, the Buddha has a nature, the nature has a root, there is no root, there is no root, there is no reason, unreasonable is impossible, and if you can't, you will fall into the devil!" I often hear that grafted trees are full of heresies, flowers and fruits are of no kind, or poisonous or bitter! ”

"The way, the way! Buddhism is vast, universal sentient beings, there are thousands of Buddhas, there are tens of millions of paths, or like Kangzhuang, or like sheep intestines! The arrows are different, the paths are different, and the marks are high! The devil is born of the Buddha, and the Buddha is made of the devil, like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, can it be true or false? ”

"Teachable again!" Kong Youyou nodded, saluted again, and asked: "You can't travel far with a load, it's difficult to travel long distances, why doesn't the donor take a bath and go again?" Wouldn't you feel comfortable? ”

"Giggles!" Yan Xin suddenly laughed, the two pigtails kept dangling, and after a long time, she asked rhetorically: "The old man also knows that the dust in front of the Buddha is non-stop, but why do you cherish the broom and worry about cleaning every day?" Is it the dust in front of the Buddha, or is it the Mengai in the heart? Besides, the Buddha is a great wisdom, but he always suffers from the worries of the moment, is he really empty? ”

"Teachable again!" This time, he was extremely solemn, and he actually got up and bowed to Yan Xin, "It seems that the people around His Holiness really have great wisdom, and they have been in the temple here for decades, meeting a confidant, befriending a Venerable, and understanding a wise man, it is really worth it!" ”

"Master, you're welcome!" Mu Yuan smiled, "Your detachment is something that juniors dare not compare!" ”

"Master, what did they say?" The crayfish frowned and asked, these two people are talking to me, and they are all talking about some crepe words, and she can't understand them at all.

"I'll talk to you when I get back!" Makihara prevaricated.

The first sentence of the empty illusion question is actually a metaphor, saying that the flower in the bodhisattva's pure vase has no roots, but can bloom, does it mean that the flower can only be short-lived, and cannot be protracted?

From this point of view, Empty Illusion did see that Yan Xin was a little different from ordinary people, but he was not sure, and even mistakenly thought that Yan Xin was born by "seizing and giving up". So Yan Xin borrowed the donkey from the slope to cover up his secret, prevaricating that there is an essential law for the existence of all things, and as long as this law is conformed to, then everything is natural and conforms to the law of the evolution of all things, and the time when the flowers bloom freely and bloom will not die early.

The second question of the empty illusion question is much more direct, he emphasized that all things should follow the original laws, not forced, reckless behavior will lead astray, and even escape into the devil's way, endangering oneself and the common people. Yan Xin also took this opportunity to fight back, saying that there is no Buddha there is no demon, there is no demon and there is no Buddha, Buddha and demon are just two sides of one person, this is like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, it is impossible to distinguish from the appearance, the method of becoming a Buddha or becoming a demon and participating in meditation has no decisive relationship, and it cannot be one-sidedly said to be cause and effect.

The third problem of empty illusion is actually well-intentioned persuasion, which means that Yan Xin should give up the act of "seizing and giving up", give up all attachments and troubles, and not force everything. So Yan Xin refuted it with the example of emptiness and illusion and the Buddha, saying that although the Buddha could live a long life in ten thousand "eons", he was always troubled by some small things in an "instant", and even affected the reincarnation of the Buddha again for the first time and escaped into reincarnation. It can be seen that the Buddha also has a heart that he can't let go.

If you don't understand the knowledge of Buddhism, it is indeed difficult to understand the deep meaning, in this simple dialogue, empty illusion and Yan Xin have actually carried out a deep discussion on values, outlook on life and world view.

Makihara is basically on Yan Xin's side, and in the first question, Yan Xin's ingenuity lies in explaining the way around; In the second question, Yan Xin said pragmatically, just like the great man of reform said, it doesn't matter if it is a white cat and a black cat, the one who can catch mice is a good cat; In the third question, Yan Xin expounded on self-blessing, everything should be based on the current reality, and the big goal can be there, but the monk has the monk and the Buddha has the Buddha's affairs, and the identities are different, and the circumstances are different, so the troubles will naturally be different.

The first is the worldview, the second is the values, and the third is the outlook on life.

As mentioned before, there are three Buddhas, namely the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present and the Buddha of the future, and the three Buddhas are the same Buddha, but they manifest as different incarnations in order to save sentient beings. In Buddhism, "calamity" is used to refer to a long period of time, and "instant" is used to refer to a very short period of time, with a flick of the finger being sixty moments, about ten microseconds. The Buddha often produces a butterfly effect because of a moment's attachment, so as to undergo a catastrophe of rebirth.

By the way, if the realm is different, there will be a long and short calamity. Take Taoism as an example, there are big and small calamities, but the catastrophe refers to rebirth, the grass and trees are a spring and autumn, most of the insects are only half a year, the beast has ten years, the person is a family, the demon fox is a hundred years, the dragon and snake are a thousand years, and the turtle spirit is ten thousand years...... At the level of the Jade Emperor, the legend is 360,000 years. In "Journey to the West", it is not always said that you can live for 500 years after eating Tang monk meat, it seems that ordinary immortals seem to have a catastrophe every 500 years.

"Master, I heard that the Luohan Temple has suffered two catastrophes?" Makihara asked, "Do you know the specific situation?" ”

"It's twice!" Kong Youhuan nodded, "I don't know if this time will be the third time!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"That's all I can say!" Kong Youhuan picked up the cup, "It's still the advice from two days ago, the heavenly machine must not be leaked, the dew will change, and the change will have fruit!" This is the mission of His Holiness, there is a certain number in the dark, or it is better for His Holiness to go and get married! ”

"Okay!" Mu Yuan nodded, since others had scruples, he couldn't force it, but he believed that he could still inquire about it.

After drinking a pot of tea, Mu Yuan got up and said goodbye. When leaving, he took out a bag of tea from his backpack, this is a special Longjing, these two taels of tea can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan in the market, and there is no market. This was given to him by Wu Shengwen after lunch, which can be regarded as a thank you, and the only people who enjoy this kind of treatment are Mu Yuan and Liu Yingqu.

Let's not talk about Mu Yuan's rescue of two lives, and the introduction of Ning Caichen to treat Li Yueting's injuries, just his action in that building pulled Wu Shengwen back from the brink of bankruptcy. Now famous, the rent of the business building run by Wu Shengwen has skyrocketed, and the rent has been overcharged by nearly a million in just a few months.

If you send money, Mu Yuan can still refuse, but he can only accept it if he sends tea, otherwise it will be a little too unsatisfactory. Besides, Mu Yuan is now considered to have a lot of money, and he can be divided into at least 100,000 a month, so he really doesn't care about this favor.

"Yo, this is good tea!" Tan Xiaosheng's eyes don't rub sand, and they can be identified just by smelling it.

"I've bothered a few times, I don't have anything else, so please try it with Master Tan Bo and Kong!" Mu Yuan smiled, "But this little tea is not all filial piety to the two of you, please talk about the uncle to divide a little, and bring it to my master when I go back, I may have to go up the mountain after a while!" ”

"Okay, no problem!" Talking and laughing, "I'm playing autumn breeze on both sides, it's worth it!" ”

Kong Youhuan took the tea and looked at it, and he didn't thank him, but he packed up the tea set and went straight to the tap on the side, it seemed that he wanted to clean the tea set well, and he couldn't wait to taste it.

"I want to worship you as a teacher!" Yan Xin blinked his big eyes and looked at Tan Xiaosheng and said.
