In front of the seven halls, there was no old monk guarding it.

I pushed open the door of the seventh hall and walked in, only to see the abbot sitting at the table with rows of bookshelves behind him.

I said, Abbot, weren't you in the main hall before? Why did you get to the seventh hall all at once?

Zheng Kuan said that I sneaked in through the back door of the temple. Even if I want to come to the Seven Palaces, I have to pass through one level. The testimony of the second hall likes to preach, and even if he wins, he also says that he loses, and he is very verbose; the testimony of the third hall is very arrogant, and he has always refused to accept me, and he is extremely short-tempered; the testimony of the fourth hall is often a scoundrel when comparing the secret weapon; the testimony of the fifth hall is more like yin people than the internal strength, and it is difficult to entangle; the testimony of the sixth hall is so bad that he is not good at practicing light skills, and he is not clear to him. How many years and months will it take me to reach the Seventh Hall after I have completed these five levels? Look at the bookshelves behind me, they are dense, and if I don't come, you won't be able to find the ancient books yourself.

I said can you show me an old book now?

Zheng Kuan said don't worry, I have found the book, and now it is hidden in my sleeve. You still have one level to pass, and you have to pass the last level before you can read the book.

I asked which level it was, and Zheng Kuan said that I was a teacher. The master is in retreat, and he can only leave the customs in the evening. It's time to eat lunch soon, you take a break in the wing room after eating lunch, and then go to the main hall in the evening, Shi Bo Naguan doesn't know how long it takes, so it's better for you to rest in the White Horse Temple tonight.

I had no choice but to go back to the main hall and ask the guards who brought me back to help me bring a message to Sakura, and I will go back to the General's Mansion tomorrow morning.

I had dinner at the White Horse Temple and was certified to the main hall. At this time, the master of Zhengkuan was meditating in front of the golden statue of the Buddha.

Zheng Kuanheshi saluted and said, "Uncle, I brought Zhishan."

The old monk didn't seem to hear the words, and he didn't move.

Zheng Kuan said to me that this is my uncle Cimei, and I will be 93 years old this year. He's going to talk to you about Zen. You have to answer to his satisfaction before I can send you an ancient book to read.

I said I just borrowed it, and I didn't ask you to send it.

Zheng Kuan said that although we are both Buddhist disciples, the temples are different. The books of this temple have always been only viewed by the disciples of this temple, and if outsiders read them, then they cannot be regarded as books of this temple. So if you want to see it, I can only send it.

I said that you are missing an ancient book in the White Horse Temple, and I am a little reluctant to go.

Zheng Kuan said with a smile, I have 10,000 ancient books in the White Horse Temple, what does it matter if there is one less. What's more, you haven't won against my uncle.

After I thanked him, I bowed my head and stood behind Ci Mei and called, Patriarch Ci Mei.

Cimei turned around and motioned for me to sit down.

I looked up and took a closer look at my eyebrows, and sure enough, they were kind eyebrows.

Ci Mei stretched out a finger to the sky and did not speak.

I didn't understand what I meant, so I turned my head to look at Zheng Kuan, and Zheng Kuan whispered that Zen had begun.

What does one finger mean? Did you ask me to come alone? I thought that I was accompanied by General Wang's guards, so I shook my head and stretched out two fingers.

Ci Mei stretched out five fingers again. This time I understood, I should have asked if the first five levels of the White Horse Temple had passed, so I nodded.

Cimei suddenly pointed at herself, and then at me, making a knife slashing gesture. Ci Mei should mean that the two of us will come to compete in martial arts for a while, with knives. I hurriedly shook my hand, indicating that I would not be able to use the knife.

Cimei froze and suddenly said, "Zhengkuan, you go out first."

After Zhengkuan went out, Cimei said that since I stepped into Buddhism for more than 80 years, I have never seen anyone answer correctly in Zen, and I don't want to fulfill the old monk's wish today.

I thought about it, and the three sign language questions and answers just now were not considered Zen, and in the end, didn't they ask me to use a knife to compete? But I felt that it was very unreasonable to say it, so I didn't say anything.

Ci Mei continued, the first thing I asked about the tower incense hanging on my finger was to ask why the incense was burned.

I looked up and found that there were indeed circles of tower incense hanging above my eyebrows.

Ci Mei said, everyone in my White Horse Temple sees this question, all of them are in agreement, which means worshipping the Buddha. Most people in the world think that burning incense is only for worshipping the Buddha, but they don't know that the Buddha should always offer to their hearts, and when there is something to do, they burn incense to ask the Buddha. My monks burn incense, but ask to burn the red dust, break the vulgar heart, the so-called "into the empty door red dust broken, a hundred feelings of the green lamp burning" is this meaning, burning incense is to dye into the net. I didn't think you knew it at such a young age. You shook your head and stretched out your two fingers, saying that you can't burn incense with two minds, and you answered very well, answered very well.

When I heard this, my face was flushed with shame, and I cheekily said that the ancestor had won the award.

Ci Mei continued, and then I stretched out my five fingers, which means how to view the five precepts of Buddhism of "killing, stealing, adultery, and drinking". My disciples of the White Horse Temple often shake their hands and answer the five precepts not to be violated, which is the knowledge of the world. Killing is not just the killing of living beings? Man is a chaotic body of good and evil, and only by killing his own evil can he be good. Theft does not only refer to stealing other people's money and taking the strengths of others to make up for their own shortcomings, but also theft. Our monks are the Dharma of stealing the Buddha and making our own enlightenment complete. Speaking of lewdness, ordinary people only insult women as adultery, but they don't know that adultery can also be "invaded". Xu Shenyan said: "Lewdness, adultery is reasonable", my Buddhist disciples, must invade the Dharma, this adultery, means immersion. Delusional, Buddhist disciples all know that the four delusions are fame, fortune and money, but they don't know that delusion also has the meaning of "ordinary". Delusional means ordinary people. When we monks take refuge in Buddhism, we need to care about mortals, think about the sufferings of mortals, and think about the pain of mortals. Finally, when it comes to alcohol, wine is a precept, not a sexual abstinence, which means that there is nothing wrong with drinking, and if it is drunk and kills, thieves, and adultery, it is wrong. It can be seen that wine is not a mandatory law, the winter in the north is cold, drinking alcohol can strengthen the body and warm the body, although we are monks, but we are also flesh fetus. If you forcibly prevoke the five precepts, you are shackled from above, imprisoning the Buddha's will, and violating the Dharma. Unexpectedly, you can see through the five precepts, nod your head and say, "Killing, stealing, adultery, and drinking" is not impossible. The old monk admired.

Not only did I blush now, but my ass was already red.

Ci Mei also said, later I pointed to the Buddha statue behind me, representing the Buddha, pointing to the door behind you to represent the demon of the outside world, and the hand to do the chopping, which means "Buddha to the Buddha to chop, the devil to the devil". Diamond Sutra Cloud: "If you see me with color and ask me with your voice, you are walking in an evil way, and you cannot see what you are." When we recite the Buddha, if we don't detach from the phase, we can't get rid of the color and sound, and we don't really recite the Buddha. Zen Buddhism says, "The Buddha comes to the Buddha and the devil comes to the devil", which means that when you see beautiful things, you must not be greedy, and when you see things that you don't like, you must not have troubles. Only if the mind is upright and unbiased, can we detach from the phase, and reciting the Buddha can be without phase. It's just that the old monk doesn't know what you are doing by shaking your hand?

When I heard him explain this, I thought that he wanted to compete with me with a sword, and I was already extremely embarrassed. What I mean by shaking my hand is not to cling to this.

Ci Mei is like the empowerment of Honghu Lake, his eyes are wide and he mutters to himself: If you want to be able to be without appearance, you have already attained appearance.

I was scared, I didn't know what Cimei would say next, and I was so anxious that I was on pins and needles.

After a while, Cimei laughed and said, "I have been sitting in meditation for more than 80 years, but I haven't really seen through the "appearance". Thank you for the reminder.

After saying that, Cimei stood up and saluted me.

I hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Cimei called Zheng Kuan, and said that you should give it to Zhishan.

Zheng Kuan hurriedly said yes.

I went to the wing room and boasted: I didn't expect you to have high martial arts and Zen learning. Uncle Shi raised a finger and said that a Buddha was born, you shook your head and stretched out two fingers to answer that not only one Buddha was born, but also two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Uncle Shi stretched out a palm and said that all things are in the palm of the Buddha, and you bow your head to indicate that because of this, you should not be arrogant, and you should bow your head and respect all things. Uncle Shi pointed his finger at himself and pointed out the door and said that the disciples of Buddhism want to kill all the demons, you shake your hand and promise not to kill them all, you should give them a chance to turn back. High, really high!

I blushed for a long time when I listened to Cimei's explanation just now, but when I heard Zhengkuan say this, my face didn't blush, and I said seriously that I was still young and my Zen studies were still very shallow.

Seeing that I was so modest, Zheng Kuan touched his beard, smiled and nodded in approval.

I asked, can you give me the ancient books now?

Zheng Kuan took out the ancient book from his sleeve and said that this book will be given to you soon, but I want to talk to you.

I said, please.

Zheng Kuan said I heard that Wudang Sakura girl has been following you, there is a sentence I have to say, now Buddhism is incompatible, next year's martial arts league main bidding competition is not only a battle between sects, but even related to the country's luck, my junior brother Zheng Yan assisted the four princes, and I heard that the four princes are very concerned about next year's competition. Winning or losing next year's game shows how important it is. Miss Sakura is from Wudang Mountain, and she has been following you at this time, but I'm afraid of ......

I said you were suspicious of Sakura?

Zheng Kuan said, I don't doubt it, it's a boat that sails carefully for 10,000 years. Now, any negligence on the part of the Buddhist sect will lead to a change in the fortunes of the country. Don't be surprised if I say something nasty.

I said, uncle, just say, I won't blame you.

Zheng Kuan said, what if the cherry spirit is a chess piece set up by the Taoist sect around you? Where you come from and where you are going, she knows it well, and she can inform you all the way to the layout until she kills you.

I said Sakura Spirit wasn't that kind of person.

Zheng Kuan whispered, when you were resting in the afternoon, I went to General Wang and learned a lot about you. If I were a Taoist, I would unite with the people of the prince's forces to set up a bureau, and ask Ying Ling to lead you to the bait, and let you enter the bureau and catch you in an urn, and arrest you on the spot, so that you will be speechless. I guess you went to look for Jia Fugui, and he was already dead at the time, right? You were surrounded by officers and soldiers before you even came out, right?

There was a buzzing sound in my head.

Zheng Kuan asked again: Why did you go to Jia Fugui?

I said I had a game with him at the casino, and in the process of gambling, he tried to smash me to death with his palm. As a result, I was rescued by Uncle Huiyun. When I recovered, I wanted to go to him to find out why he wanted to kill me.

Zheng Kuan sneered: If someone from the Taoist sect bribed Jia Fugui and asked Miss Ying to lead you over to gamble with him? If I were the person who was the person behind the scenes of the Taoist sect, I would definitely guess that after you recovered from your injuries, I would go to Jia Fugui and kill Jia Fugui's family before you went.

I still don't believe it, how could Sakura know that I was going to the casino?

Zheng Kuan said that then you have to ask why you went to the casino.

I said that I went to the casino because I wanted to buy a house with Sakura, and I didn't have enough money, so I went.

Zheng Kuan said that's right, she insisted that you buy the house, right?

When Hearing Kuan said this, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. Indeed, the house was bought by Sakura, and the casino was also persuaded by her to go.

Zheng Kuan said again, you have a good memory, the dangerous place you encountered, is it every time Miss Sakura takes you there.

When I thought about the beggar gang, I had some hope, saying that I had encountered a sneak attack by the beggar gang in the beggar gang, and that time it was also very dangerous, but it was not she who took me there, it was we who met the leader of the beggar gang by chance.

Zheng Kuan said: This goes back to what I said earlier, Miss Sakura knows your itinerary, she knows where you go, and it is very simple to lay out these bureaus in advance. That's what I've said about it, even if I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Miss Sakura really has feelings for you, why don't you wait until the end of the competition next year to get together with her?

Seeing that my face was not very good, Zheng Kuan gave me the ancient book, saying that I have a request, and I don't know if you will agree.

I said you say, what a request.

Zheng Kuan said that if you read the book, you will go to find clues to find the murderer, if Miss Sakura is sincere to you, she will be worried about your safety after she knows it, and she will definitely follow. If she is a pawn of the Taoists, she will insist on following you, and take advantage of your revenge to harm you, you must promise me not to let Miss Sakura know that you have this book.

I said okay, I promise you.
