A thought flashed in Thirty-Three's heart, "Has anyone finally taken the bait, but it's a pity that it's not even a shrimp, it's not even a top shrimp, it's not useful at all, it's better to forget it." He turned his head calmly and followed the direction from which the voice came, and saw that it was Shi Yi who spoke, and said with a smile: "Little brother is foolish, and what he has been practicing is the most superficial 'Vajra Force' in the temple.

In the past few days, I have encountered a pass, and just now I was greedy for a shortcut, thinking of using the Lotus Taiguan to cooperate with the cultivation method of vajra power to break through..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shi Yi smiled strangely, and said, "Yes, that junior brother, you were rubbing it in your hand when you were cultivating just now, and what was the utensils that were put into the placket of your clothes immediately after the lotus platform was stained with dust."

It can't be some kind of Buddha treasure that can help the Vajra force break through, right? ”

"Senior brother is really joking, the Buddha treasure is such a precious thing, how can the younger brother have virtue." Hearing this, Thirty-Three explained with a face as usual: "The thing just now is just a stone bowl that I polished, because the younger brother is naturally out of the woods, and he is always impatient.

Recently, I finally realized the stupid method of grinding the bowl, and cultivated the mind with external forces, but I didn't expect to develop the habit of taking out the stone bowl to rub every time I meditated. ”

"And such things," Shi Yi smiled strangely when he heard this, and said as he spoke, "Then I'll see what kind of stone bowl you polished." While domineering, he directly stretched out his hand towards Thirty-three.

Thirty-three was slightly stunned, with a trace of annoyance but helplessness on his face, and obediently took out the stone bowl from his arms and handed it to Shi Yi, "Senior brother can see it if you want to."

If I hadn't made a vow to polish this stone bowl and dedicate it to the Buddha, it would have been nothing even if I gave it to you. ”

"Yes." Shi Yi casually agreed to take the stone bowl, carefully rubbed the delicate surface of the bowl, lowered his head, and looked carefully for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

In the Buddhist monasteries on the island, the lowest-ranking disciples are the novices, who have already stepped into the Buddha with one foot, and their mortal names can no longer be used, but they themselves have not shaved their hair or received ordination, and they are not allowed to be given Dharma names, so they can only rely on quarterly examinations to determine their names.

All those who rank in the top 10 in the examination of chanting, meditation, martial arts, etc., are named by Shi Yi to Shi Shi, and the novices after the ten are directly named after the ranking, and the eleven is called eleven, and the ninety-nine is called ninety-nine.

Thirty-three is thirty-three, and the ranking in the novice examination is naturally thirty-third, and there is a huge gap between Shi Yi and Shi Yi, who is the leader.

But judging people's wishes is completely different from punishing people for chopping wood and carrying water for labor, it is a great revenge that hinders people's cultivation, for a seemingly useless stone bowl, and the same door to form this kind of deep grudge, even if Shi repeatedly flies and dominates, he feels a little worthless.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt that his palm was empty, and the stone bowl in his hand was actually taken in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful male voice like a jade bead rolling a jade plate sounded in his ears, "This stone bowl looks simple and unpretentious, but it is as warm as jade in the hand, and it is also a little interesting." ”

The one who spoke was an eight-foot-tall monk wearing a moon-white monk's robe, wearing a big red robe embroidered with gold, and a face like a crown of jade, with a detached and tranquil smile, like a ghost, suddenly appeared behind the monk.

Thirty-three, who was sitting by the stream, saw this person appear, his heart tightened, he secretly swallowed and spit, and thought bitterly: "This is a big fish, but it's also too big...", he jumped up in a hurry, and put his hands together respectfully and said: "Maitreya from the east, Shami has seen the enlightened monk." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yi, who turned his head and looked at Shi Enlightenment in a daze, also came back to his senses, hurriedly bent down deeply, and saluted: "Maitreya from the east, Shi Yi has seen Seng Zheng." ”

"If you are named Shi Yi, then you are the only one in the novice," Shi Juewu smiled slightly and said: "Seeing that you follow the first movement between actions, and your breath is long, what you should practice is the magical power of 'Jie Zi Zang', but you have also gained a bit of true taste." ”

"The monk is complimenting." In the face of the enlightenment of the Buddha whose status in the temple is far higher than his own, the Buddha repeatedly did not have the slightest arrogance, and honestly responded with his hands.

And Shi Juewu's attention was obviously not on him, so he praised him casually, turned his gaze to Thirty-three, nodded and said approvingly: "As for you, although Tianzi is not as good as Shi Yi, it is even more rare to be able to abide by his heart and be self-motivated at a young age."

I think that when I first embarked on the path of cultivation, I was only a middle-aged person, and later I was able to become the first monk step by step, relying on the words 'consciousness and perseverance'.

That's it, I am the most serendipitous in teaching, and I am afraid that there are antecedents when you and I meet today, so I will remind you of it.

The Dharma does not pass on the six ears, and comes with me. After that, he turned around and walked towards the mountains and forests not far away.

In this case, Thirty-Three could only fold his hands and answer, "Yes." He bowed his head and followed Shi Juewu into the dense forest.

After he walked more than a dozen steps in the weedy and rhizome-ridden woodland, and his figure was completely covered by giant trees and mountain vines, Shi Juewu suddenly turned around and smiled at Thirty-three, "Senior brother, the barren forest is dangerous, let me help you." Then he jumped to his side as fast as a ghost, gently grabbed Thirty-three's arm, and stepped forward in the air as if carrying a large ball of cotton wool.

"How dare Shami, dare to be called the monk's 'junior brother'." Dizzy and carried by someone to fly in mid-air, Thirty-three did not forget to tremble and said.

"You and I have the same teacher, so naturally we can be regarded as my junior brothers." Hearing this, Shi Juewu smiled slightly and said softly,

Thirty-three heard this, and secretly thought in his heart: "Is it coming...", but on the surface, he showed a stammering and unknown expression.

With a slight glance from the corner of his eye, he peeked at his dazed face, and his body sank, and he fell on the thick branch of a big tree in the sky with thirty-three.

Holding the stone bowl of the thirty-three in the palm of his hand, Shi Juewu said with a smile: "Senior brother, do you know what this is?" ”

Standing on the slippery branch of a tree more than ten feet above the ground, Thirty-three looked pale, and replied with a staggering figure: "Monk Zheng, Seng Zheng don't be joking, this bowl is not the stone I polished..."

"The junior brother's heart is really tough, and he has to hide it from me at this time," Shi Juewu 'haha...' laughed and interrupted Thirty-three's words, "This bowl is obviously made of human skulls, how did it turn into stone." ”

Hearing this, Thirty-three's heart tightened, "Sure enough, it's coming...", but his face showed an extremely surprised color, and blurted out: "People, human skulls!" ”

"It's a human skull," the voice landed, Shi Juewu's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "But it's not a mortal's zenith.

In ancient times, when the Buddha was first established, the Mahayana method of my interpretation had not yet been passed on to the world, and the great monks did not want to cross the suffering of the world no matter how virtuous and supernatural they were, so they all avoided the world and lived in seclusion, practiced Hinayana Buddhism, and pursued great freedom.

After more than 100 years, the body dissipates between heaven and earth, while the skull at the top of the skull is immortal and passed on to future generations.

Later generations will find their burial place and get their robes, and they will be the heirs of their mantles. ”

"And that kind of thing." Listening to Shi Juewu finish his words, Thirty-three said dumbfounded, and Shi Juewu smiled slightly: "So don't hide it from me, junior brother, tell me where you picked up this bone bowl." ”

Under his gentle gaze, Thirty-Three looked pale, and stammered, "This, this, in, in...", and his body shook even more, as if he was about to fall off the branch of the tree and fall into flesh.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Shi Juewu did not forcibly persecute him, but said with a more gentle attitude: "Senior brother, don't be afraid, I'm 'Great Sumeru Temple' pays attention to the sea and rivers, and the mountains are hidden by thousands of people, and it is not taboo for disciples to worship foreign masters as apprentices.

You got the bone bowl of the ancestors, and I found that your treasure was all due to your own fate, which shows that you and I are destined to be a senior brother and younger brother.

The most important thing for a person who is enlightened is cause and effect, so how can I harm you in this case? ”
