"This benefactor, I don't think I need to say more, you know it. As long as you can answer my three questions and get my approval, you can go in. Moreover, I am familiar with the large collection of books in the Zangjing Pavilion, and I can answer a question for you. ”

Lingzhang said with great confidence.

My heart fluttered when I listened.

Lingzhang is exactly what I need. The information left by Ye Shengren back then, I just listened to some of it from Yu Huanqin, who knows if it is a classic book or a handwritten note or simply in the historical materials. If I look for it myself, it is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't know how to find the year of the monkey. Since this Lingzhang has released a bold statement, maybe he can directly point out the location for me.

"But if you can't answer, or if the answer is wrong, then I'm sorry that you can't go today."

"What's the question, master, may I ask." I took a deep breath, it seems that I still have to pass, my token is considered to have been obtained by stunning the red-faced old monk, if I am blocked from the door today, I am afraid that the red-faced old monk will not allow me to continue to hold his token. After all, I've only helped him once.

The monks next to them also looked at Lingzhang curiously, they were blocked out of the door but did not leave, why don't they want to hear what strange questions Lingzhang will ask.

"What is heaven, what is earth, and what is man?"

Lingzhang directly threw out the question, causing everyone present to breathe sluggishly, and their faces were clouded.

"This Lingzhang Zen Master is so ruthless, does he have an enmity with this outsider? How can this question be answered? ”

"Yes, why is heaven called heaven? How could anyone think about this, I never thought about it. ”

"There is no answer to this question, and this man's first question is over."

There are many opinions, but most people agree that I absolutely cannot answer.

I glanced at the demon, and the demon had a helpless expression, he had been in Buddhism for many years, but he had never encountered these problems.

"Zhou Yuan, you can answer casually, if we lose, we'll find a way." The demon encouraged me.

I frowned in contemplation, and was silent for a moment.

"Hehe, I thought that Jin Xuanzhi's body was something special compared to others, but he was just a stupid person. Don't pretend to be meditative, you don't understand it at all. ”

There was a sudden shake in the crowd, and several black-robed monks came out, and the one led by them was actually a dragon elephant.

I didn't expect this person to come here and taunt me directly.

"Oh? Dragon elephant: Is your arm fractured healed? I sneered and looked at him. Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough. ”

"Zhou Yuan, don't be arrogant." Long Xiang's face turned red when he heard this, he has been regarded as a genius cultivator by the Vinaya since he was a child, and he has not been defeated for many years, but he not only lost to me but also broke his arm, which was regarded by him as the greatest shame, but was directly debunked by me.

"What's the use of your sharp teeth and sharp mouth to me, you can't answer questions, you're still a waste." The dragon elephant sneered.

"Donor, have you thought about it?" Zen Master Lingzhang asked.

"I do have the answer." I looked at him and smiled: "Heaven is heaven, earth is earth, and people are people." ”

"What does that mean?"

"I think I can understand it myself with the master's understanding."

Lingzhang was thoughtful and silent.

"Haha, what a ridiculous answer. Your answer is equivalent to saying nothing, bullshit stuff, it's hell to be able to pass, if this is okay, I lived in vain for hundreds of years. After hearing this, the dragon elephant couldn't help but sneer.

The other monks also talked a lot, but they couldn't say the result.

I didn't move, just looked at Lingzhang Zen Master calmly.

"I understand that the donor means that heaven, earth and man are just the names given by the creators of the characters, and since the name is naturally this name, I don't have to stick to its name, but understand its essence." Lingzhang thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again. "Donor, you answered correctly, you passed this question."

Lingzhang's words made the smile on the dragon elephant's face come to an abrupt end, as if it had eaten, it was extremely ugly. He would never have imagined that I would be able to pass the test of this question, and that his ridicule just now would become a joke.

"It looks like you've lived to the belly of a dog for hundreds of years." I didn't forget to ridicule, which made the dragon elephant's expression even more ugly, and his cheeks trembled with anger.

"Donor, second question." Lingzhang looked at me, pointed to the nine-story scripture pavilion and said: "The benefactor's nine-story scripture pavilion takes the meaning of the ninefold heavens, and echoes the eighteen-story hell of another building in my Buddhist temple, so I want to know, if this nine-story scripture pavilion is raised to the tenth floor, how should this tenth-story building be called?" ”

As soon as Lingzhang said this, everyone gasped and showed incomprehensible expressions. To say that the first question is related to Buddhism, this second question is simply a castle in the air.

Lingzhang's opening immediately attracted a discussion that was ten times more heated than just now.

"The first layer is called a heavy heaven, the ninth layer is called the ninth heaven, if there are ten layers, it should be called ten heavens?"

"Wrong, Lingzhang is a person who studies Buddhism all day long, and Hainan Baichuan absorbs the strengths of each family, if it is so simple, then what is the problem."

"Yes. There is no tenth layer in the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, if it must be wrong to call it the Ten Heavens, then what should it be called? ”

Everyone looked at me after pondering and finding no answer.

"It's called Yaeten." As soon as I opened my mouth, everyone was amazed and unbelievable.

"The ninth layer is called the Nine Heavens, and the ten layers are called the Eight Heavens? Where is this kind of reasoning. ”

"He must be wrong, is it that the higher you go, the smaller the number?

"It's really ridiculous, you can't answer the body of Jin Xuan, and you start talking nonsense?" The dragon elephant also sneered and mocked me.

"What is the explanation of this, the donor?" Lingzhang frowned slightly when he heard this, and opened his mouth to ask.

I smiled and took a few steps forward and pointed to the Scripture Pavilion. "Zen Master, you said that the meaning of the Nine-Story Scripture Pavilion is taken from the Nine Heavens. Nine is the extreme number, which is already the most powerful realm level. In the absence of anything higher than the ninefold. ”

"You're right, then why did the tenth floor become eight?"

"Because there are poles in number, and prosperity must decline. If it reaches the highest, it will naturally fall. It's like the peak of the mountain, the center is the highest, but both sides are downhill, do you think that the first downhill road you take is a higher level than the peak? ”

As soon as I finished saying this, Lingzhang hadn't seen anything, but the others gasped.

They exchanged their heads with each other, and many people were amazed by my answers.

No one could have imagined that my answer would be so reasonable that they could not even have imagined it.

But although I look relaxed, I don't know the bottom of my heart. There is no standard answer to this kind of question, and whether it is correct or not depends entirely on personal preference.

Zen Master Lingzhang fell into deep thought, and I didn't rush it, just waited quietly.

Everyone else also looked at Lingzhang, looking forward to the result.

"The donor's answer was different from what I had in mind, but it did make sense. You've passed the question. ”

As soon as Lingzhang spoke, everyone cheered, even happier than myself.

Because everyone was excited to find a record close at hand.

"God, I have never seen anyone enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion from in front of Lingzhang Zen Master, could it be that today I finally have the privilege of witnessing this miracle?"

"Not only has no one ever been in, no one has even answered the second question correctly, this donor is the first person I have ever seen."

"I really hope that he will answer all the right answers and create a miracle!"

All the monks were excited and talked to each other.

Only the dragon elephant, his face became more and more gloomy, and the more I was in the limelight, the more unhappy he was.

But he didn't leave, I guess he wanted to see me fail, so he could sarcastically mock me.

I also had anticipation in my heart, I was not interested in the so-called record at all, but I was eager to enter the Scripture Pavilion and find the information left by Ye Shengren.

"Congratulations to your benefactor, you were the first to answer both questions correctly. As long as you can answer one more question correctly, you can pass from here, and I will answer one question for you. Lingzhang said to me with a pampered look.

"Master, please ask the question." My words made everyone look at Lingzhang, who was breathing heavily, all waiting for the result.

"My third question is, what was the name of the first Buddha?"

After Lingzhang finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

It's not that the problem is too difficult, it's that it's too easy! Even if the women, children and children on the street know, could it be that Lingzhang Zen Master deliberately released water?

I frowned, feeling a little strange, but Lingzhang Zen Master's question made me unable to give any other answer at all.
