Chen Nian stepped forward, helped the old monk up from the ground, and asked, "Senior monk,"

The old monk recited the Buddha name first, "Not high, not high, just an old monk." ”

He replied interestingly, Wen Daya and the others laughed unconsciously, Chen Nian looked at him carefully, and saw that he had kind eyebrows on his face, and he was kind, so he asked, "What is the old monk's name?"

"Huiming, the old monk's name is Huiming." The old monk replied.

Although Chen Nian had never heard of the name of this master, he nodded to show that he understood, and said politely: "Master Huiming has worked hard from afar, but I have to go and rest first,"

I don't want Huiming to reply seriously: "I haven't walked by myself all the way, but it's not hard, but I'm a little hungry." ”

Chen Nian glanced at the cloth bag on the ground, thinking that Jing Yuxuan actually carried this old monk all the way, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Master sit down and wait a while, I will ask someone to prepare a meal for the master." ”

Jing Yuxuan didn't have such a good temper, so he just asked Hui Ming: "Old monk, let me ask you, what exactly is called concentration, purification, enlightenment, and clarity,"

Hui Ming replied, "This is Zen mind. Seeing Jing Yuxuan's impatient face, without waiting for her to ask, he hurriedly explained: "Zen, the heart of the Buddha." Zen is the Buddha's mind, that is, the pure mind that everyone has. ”

Jing Yuxuan asked again, "How did this heart come from?"

"It is not obtained from the outside, but it must be experienced by oneself, to stop delusions, to transform troubles, and then to achieve concentration, purification, understanding, and clarity, and to realize the inherent Buddha nature." Huineng replied.

Jing Yuxuan didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and said in surprise: "My heart is also quite quiet, how can I go crazy,"

Hui Ming recited a Buddha name and said: "Going fire is a Taoist saying, and if you don't practice this method at all in Buddhism, you won't have the problem of going fire." ”

Hearing this, Jing Yuxuan and Chen Nian were both stunned, and Chen Nian even asked: "If you don't go crazy, how can you fall into the devil?"

"The devil is born of the heart. If you have something to ask for, you will enter the illusion and feel it, so that you can become a demon. There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself. Huineng sighed softly, looked at Chen Nian, and asked: "Female donor, the fasting meal is already good, if you miss it for a while, the old monk doesn't need to practice, and he can go to the West Heaven." ”

Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly asked someone to help Huiming go down to eat, and persuaded Jing Yuxuan: "Master, anyway, you have found this old monk, and he can't run, so don't be in a hurry for a while." ”

Jing Yuxuan gave up at this time, and instructed Chen Nian Haosheng to watch the old monk and go back to the room to rest.

Chen Nian thought for a moment, but he couldn't help but shake his head slowly, went out, and asked Lu Xiao beside him: "What do you say Feng Junyang is doing?"

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment and replied, "In this matter, he should have no calculations. ”

Chen Nian smiled faintly and said, "It's hard to say." ”

Chen Nian inspected all the important places of the village, and went to the bottom of the mountain to see those people farming. The mountain road was not rugged, the two of them walked unhurriedly, and Chen Nian suddenly asked Lu Xiao: "Why don't you ask me about that day,"

Lu Xiao replied: "I believe you, no need to ask." ”

Chen Nian looked at him sideways, but suddenly smiled, put his hands behind his back, and walked with kicks and feet under his feet, and said, "Lu Xiao, I really like you, that kind of indescribable like." I don't know if you can understand it, it's just that I haven't known you for a long time, but I think we should grow up together since childhood, you and I have seen each other's most uninteresting appearance, and we don't need to scruple about anything together. I dare to ask you to charge forward for me, and I dare to give you my back with confidence. ”

Lu Xiao smiled when he heard this, and said, "You haven't seen my most unproductive appearance." ”

Chen Nian nodded and responded, "Yes, just to let you see my lifeless appearance." ”

Lu Xiao stopped when he heard this, looked at her for a moment, and said seriously: "Xie Chennian, you have done a good job. Look at these people at the bottom of the mountain, you gave him a place to live, a chance to live better in the future, and they are very grateful to you. ”

Chen Nian smiled, jumped to a rock on the side of the road to look down the mountain, and after a while, said softly: "I should be grateful to them." Such a scene made me feel as if I was still living in Qingfeng Village. Looking at those families in the outer village, I will feel that Aunt Yan and they are all still alive, but I don't know which household they live in. And those children who chased and laughed were Xiaoqi, Xiaoyanagi, and me when they were young.

She closed her eyes and faced the sky, listening to the human voice in the wind, her eyes slowly moistened, "Listen, everyone is still there." ”

For some reason, a thought suddenly popped up in Lu Xiao's heart, as if Chen Nian would jump down the mountain in the next moment, he was shocked, and he jumped on the mountain stone, standing on Chen Nian's side, and shouted: "Xie Chennian,"

Chen Nian opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him, her eyes were washed with water, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just suddenly think about everyone." ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of eagles chirping in the sky, and the two of them followed the sound, and saw two goshawks hovering and flying in the sky, as if they were chasing and playing. Chen Nian squinted slightly, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly said, "Lu Xiao, you should leave here." ”

She turned her head to look at Lu Xiao, "You are an eagle soaring on the grassland, you shouldn't be trapped here." ”

Lu Xiao grinned and said, "Xie Chennian, my task now is to protect you." ”

"Now I don't need your protection," Chen Nian stared at him, and said with a straight face: "You should also know that I am practicing the Five Aggregates Divine Skill with my master, although I dare not say that I am a supreme master at the moment, but self-protection is enough." ”

Lu Xiao looked at her quietly and was silent.

Chen Nian smiled, raised his head and continued to look at the goshawk in the sky, "Let's go, Lu Xiao, go to your sky." I will also spread my wings and fly as hard as I can. If one day, we can still meet in the sky, then we will fly together like this pair of eagles. ”

Lu Xiao looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, Xie Chennian." ”

Three days later, Lu Xiao left Hukouling alone. When he left, Chen Nian was discussing with Cui Xi, Zhu Zhen and others how to train the young people selected from the homeless people in the outer village, but he did not send them off. However, the sparrow silently followed Lu Xiaoma and sent it far away. Lu Xiao stopped several times and turned around, and said to her happily: "You go back, you don't have to send me, I don't know the way." ”

Lingque's eyes were slightly red, and he said again: "If you leave like this, the big boss must be extremely uncomfortable." ”

Lu Xiao looked at her and said, "She asked me to leave." ”

"What the big boss said must not be true," Lingque shouted angrily, glaring at Lu Xiao, "I said you are stupid, you are still really stupid, women love to talk back, she tells you to leave, and she must be unwilling to tell you to go in her heart." ”

Looking at her like this, Lu Xiao couldn't help grinning and said, "Are you a woman?"

The sparrow was stunned by his question, and said angrily: "Nonsense, I am naturally a woman, so I know the mind of a big master better than you,"

Lu Xiao smiled and said: "Since you are also a woman, then you also like to talk back." You say I'm stupid, but in your heart you think I'm very smart, don't you?"

The sparrow was speechless by him, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or angry for a while, but he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Lu Xiao smiled, and said to her: "Lingque, you don't understand, it's time for me to leave now." What I can give to Xie Chennian now, she doesn't need it anymore, and what she needs, I can't give it to her now. So I had to go, take what she needed, and come back to her. ”

The sparrow vaguely felt that he had some truth, but he didn't understand where the truth was. She was still stunned, but Lu Xiao had already turned over and got on the horse, turned around and smiled at her, said "take care", and ran away from the horse.

Chen Nian stayed in the outer village until dark before coming back, entered the inner village gate, and said to the people around him while walking: "Lu Xiao, let's go to dinner first, and then go to see my master." ”

The man next to him paused for a moment, and then responded, "Okay." ”

Chen Nian was slightly stunned when he heard the voice, turned his head to look at Cui Xi, and said with a smile: "I'm used to it for a while, and I think it's Lu Xiao by my side." ”

Cui Xi just smiled lightly, diverted the topic, and said: "Mao'er has been talking a lot these days, which is very fun, but it's not easy to feed, and it's not like before to feed what to eat." ”

Chen Nian unconsciously remembered the situation when he first saw Cui Xi and the others in the winter before last, when Mao'er was only about ten months old, but he was very well-behaved, and the coarse rice porridge was extremely sweet. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go, let's go eat with Mao'er, I'll feed her, I've helped people coax children before, and I know how to tease them best." ”

Cui Xi smiled, took Chen Nian back to his residence, and had dinner with Mao'er. Mao'er is more than two years old, although she can say a lot, but her words are not clear, and she must have Cui Xi to explain on the side, so that Chen Nian can understand what she means.

The three of them gathered at a table and had a lively dinner, and then Chen Nian said goodbye and went to Jing Yuxuan. Before the person entered the door, he heard Jing Yuxuan shouting impatiently: "Normal heart, normal heart, I also know the ordinary heart, but how can this ordinary heart be obtained?"

Chen Nian stopped at his feet, lifted the curtain and entered the house, first called the master, and then greeted the old monk Huiming, and said, "The master is talking to my master about Buddhism again,"

Huiming's face was still amiable, and he replied unhurriedly: "Jing Shi is mainly looking for a normal heart. ”

Chen Nian couldn't help but ask, "How to learn to be normal,"

Hui Ming said: "The ordinary mind is the Tao, and whatever method can be used to enter the Tao, use whatever method to learn." When the first ancestor Bodhidharma preached the Dharma to the second ancestor Hui Ke, he said: Outside the fate, there is no breath in the heart, the heart is like a wall, and you can enter the Tao. ”

As soon as Jing Yuxuan heard this, he immediately pointed at Huiming and said to Chen Nian: "Listen, it's here again, it's here again, as soon as the old lady heard him say this, her brain hurt." Forget it, forget it, I'm not going to study today, you can leave quickly. ”

Chen Nian smiled, invited Huiming out, and said with a smile: "Master, I'll send you back first." ”

Hui Ming recited a Buddha name, and said goodbye to Jing Yuxuan politely, and then went out with Chen Nian. The two walked silently for a while, and Chen Nian suddenly asked Huiming: "Master, Buddhism says that the five aggregates are empty, are the five aggregates really empty?"
