"Master. ”

Ning Xiu pushed open the door of Lingyou Zen Master's meditation room and found him sitting on a wooden bed, neatly dressed, obviously having meditated all night.

Zen Master Lingyou didn't seem to hear the sound, and still sat there with his eyes closed and meditating.

Ning Xiu turned around and closed the door, stood aside, and waited quietly.

To be honest, he is still very much looking forward to the next guidance of Lingyou Zen Master.

You must know that the cultivation world is extremely strict with accepting disciples, especially in today's modern world. In the era of the end of the law, under the background of thin aura, the grand occasion of that kind of large sect family could not be reproduced, and now it is basically a single line, and finding apprentices is equivalent to doing inheritance, so the strictness of accepting apprentices can be imagined.

Since entering the cultivation world by mistake, Ning Xiu has never really been taught by others, and everything is on his own. Although he first got a copy of the "Moqi Dan Book" from the thousand-year-old ghost mother, and then received the method passed down by the ancestors of the Yu family, he finally did not reach the situation of being poor and white.

But this alone was not enough, he still lacked sufficient means.

And this Xuanguang Illusion Realm can undoubtedly solve this problem very well, you must know that in the entire White Snake World, Fahai is a boss-level existence, and even Bai Suzhen is not his opponent.

And Lingyou Zen Master is the master of Fahai, so there is naturally no need to question his strength.

"It's coming. ”

Hearing the sound, Ning Xiu came back from his contemplation, and looked up to see that Zen Master Lingyou had opened his eyes at some point, and was looking at himself at the moment.

"Master. Ning Xiu bowed and saluted.

"It's been three years since you've been here, can you tell Master Wei why he is practicing Buddhism?" Lingyou Zen Master looked at Ning Xiu and asked with a smile.

Looking at the smiling face of Zen Master Lingyou, Ning Xiu even had the heart to scold his mother, these monks have a lot of things. For Lingyou Zen Master's question, he didn't dare to answer casually, who knows if the other party is fighting with him, testing his heart or something. If he loses this opportunity to practice because of a rash answer, he won't even have a place to cry at that time.

Seeing that Ning Xiu was silent, Zen Master Lingyou smiled, and then asked the second question.

"Then do you know why I accepted your entry wall back then?"

Ning Xiu glanced up at Zen Master Lingyou, and said with some uncertainty: "Because I have Buddha nature?"

Zen Master Lingyou shook his head and said with a smile: "If the Buddha is a sentient being, if the self-nature is a Buddha, if the self-nature realizes that all sentient beings are Buddhas, and all sentient beings have Buddha nature, why should I choose you alone." ”

But he really couldn't think of any other reason than that.

You must know that it is an extremely secret matter for the crown prince to become a monk, and no one knows about it except for the emperor, Pei Xiu and Ning Xiu, otherwise Ning Xiu would like to boldly say that he is the emperor's order.

But this is clearly not the case at the moment.

After a while, Zen Master Lingyou slowly spoke: "Ling Zun Pei Xiang once donated a large amount of money for the construction of the Miyin Temple, and then he will contribute money for the repair of the temple every year. He is in this temple and has kindness to poor monks, so he asks for help, and he naturally can't refuse as a teacher. ”

After listening to Zen Master Lingyou's answer, Ning Xiu opened his mouth and stayed in place for a while without reacting.

I'll go, and I'll be a monk who has attained the Tao!

How can you be so utilitarian, isn't this any different from those institutions of higher learning in the world who donate money and buildings to go in for further study.

Looking at Ning Xiu's surprised appearance, Lingyou Zen Master smiled: "Why, do you feel that you are a very philistine teacher now." ”

Ning Xiu naturally wouldn't pick it up.

"Since you can't answer this question, I'll tell you why I practice Buddhism. ”

The smile on Zen Master Lingyou's face gradually retracted, and he became a little more serious, and slowly spoke: "Most of the people in Buddhism practice Buddha in order to one day attain Bodhi and gain transcendence, while cultivating Buddha for teachers is to save sentient beings. ”

"That's why I'm so grateful for Ling Zun's donation. Zen Master Lingyou paused, and then spoke. "There are so many sentient beings, I can't accomplish this feat alone, so that's why I need a temple. And the more magnificent the temple, the bigger the Buddha statue, the more believers will be. ”

"Amitabha, it's not that the Buddha loves the golden body, but that the world loves the golden body, and it's not that the monk loves money, but the world loves money. It is necessary to save people, and naturally we must do it in a human way. ”

Ning Xiu bowed his head thoughtfully.

Zen Master Lingyou looked at Ning Xiu and asked the first question: "Now you can tell the teacher, why do you practice Buddhism?"

“...... Subdue demons and eliminate demons. Ning Xiu thought for a long time, and these four words popped out of his mouth.

He was afraid that if he followed up with something like "proving Bodhi" and "saving sentient beings", Lingyou Zen Master estimated that he would either let him go to see the Buddhist scriptures and participate in Zen, or let him become a monk and convert those believers. He has been chopping firewood and picking water for three years, and now he just wants to learn some exercises, but he doesn't want to read Buddhist scriptures for three more years. That's why he said this.

How do you know that Lingyou Zen Master looked at Ning Xiu, and laughed and said: "Although my Buddha is compassionate, but he also wants to subdue demons and eliminate demons, not bad, I have ambitions." ”

"After these three years of tempering, your body should be able to withstand it, and now I will teach you a set of breathing methods for the teacher. ”

As he spoke, Zen Master Lingyou slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and his hands naturally relaxed, and began to breathe and breathe.

Ning Xiu stood aside, watching intently, for fear of missing the slightest.

This kind of breathing method, the rhythm is very weird, he tried to follow the rhythm of Lingyou Zen Master, exhalation, but it didn't take long for him to feel a feeling of discomfort in his chest.

This kind of breathing pattern of sudden weight and lightness, rapid change, makes people feel like drowning, which is not at all something that ordinary people can bear. If it weren't for the fact that in the past three years, this body has been constantly chopping wood and carrying water, and a solid foundation has been laid, and Ning Xiu would not have lasted so long.

At this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the room.

Ning Xiu raised his head and looked at everything in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

I saw that Lingyou Zen Master suddenly opened his eyes, and those eyes were glowing with golden light, indifferent and ruthless. Thunder resounded all around it, and it looked like a living Buddha had come into the world.

"Master?"

Zen Master Lingyou smiled, and while he stopped exercising, the thunder sound disappeared.

"Remember?"

Ning Xiu closed his eyes, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Understood." ”

I remembered what I asked, but I understood when I replied.

Zen Master Lingyou laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

Looking at Ning Xiu's departing figure, Zen Master Lingyou murmured in a low voice: "I originally thought that I had overestimated his comprehension enough, but I still looked away. ”

"I was able to master the Great Thunder Sound Breathing Method in such a short period of time, disciple, you really have a relationship with my Buddha......
