Pharmacist Li and Fang Xuanling entered the inner room of Master Xuanling's cultivation with the elders, the room was warm and comfortable, and Pharmacist Li also let go of Fang Xuanling's hands.

I saw Xuan Zhongzi sitting in the middle hall, and there were ten futons underground.

One by one, all the disciples saluted the Master, and then knelt on the futon in order.

After Pharmacist Li and Fang Xuanling met Master, they sat down in the eighth and ninth places.

Wei Xuancheng saluted after Fang Xuanling and sat at the bottom.

Xuanzhongzi examines the school protégés one by one. A few older protégés, or just taking advantage of the master's departure, came to visit; Or there are one or two problems, and the neutron only needs three words or two words to be clear.

After some of the older students visited the Master, they resigned. There were also a few people who stayed behind to watch the master adjust the way of progress.

This was followed by several fellow students in their twenties and thirties.

The younger you get, the more complex the questions you ask. Xuan Zhongzi casually ordered the elder protégé to answer.

After the young students were taught, they bowed to the older ones as teachers.

Then it was Pharmacist Lee's turn.

He walked up to the master, and after saluting, before he could speak, Xuan Zhongzi had already said in a deep voice: "I have heard people say, 'If the great husband meets the lord at the right time, he must make meritorious deeds in order to gain wealth and wealth, so why should he be a Confucian?' But did you say that? ”

Pharmacist Li was arrogant, this was his young man's arrogant words, but he didn't expect the master to ask about it.

Seeing that Master's speech was stern, he quickly knelt down and replied, "Yes." ”

Xuan Zhongzi said: "This is your great ambition?" Say it. "The elder fellow disciples only said that the master wanted to admonish Pharmacist Li, and they resigned one after another.

In addition to Xuan Zhongzi and Li Yaoshi in the room, only Fang Xuanling and Wei Xuancheng remained.

Although Xuan Zhongzi's tone was grim, Pharmacist Li was not afraid, and said a reason: "Master, the disciple is presumptuous. The disciple only thinks that the ancient Confucianists originally started with the study of things, knowledge, sincerity, and righteousness, and took self-cultivation as the foundation, and then worked together to govern the country, so that they were clearly virtuous in the world, and close to the people, and stopped at the highest goodness. However, today's Confucians, but they know and study the chapters and sentences, and do not know the meaning of the scriptures, so that as Shi Qian said: "The ephemeris of literature and history is almost between the blessings, the master is teased, the animal is promoted, and the vulgar is light." It is not the ambition of a disciple to be ranked in such a way as to advocate excellence and play in order to prepare for the chapters and sentences that Yu said. ”

"Shi Qian" is the passage quoted by Ma Qian and Pharmacist Li of Taishi Company, from the "Book of Reporting to Shaoqing".

When Xuan Zhongzi heard him say this, his expression had eased a lot, and he said: "Although it is not your ambition to be Confucian, are you actually aiming for fame and wealth?" ”

When Master asked like this, Pharmacist Li immediately remembered what Master Shenguang said, "Ambition does not diminish Peigong", and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and his expression became shy.

Seeing that his beloved disciple was like this, Xuan Zhongzi sneered: "You have been under my door for eight years, but I don't know that you are determined to 'meet the master at the right time, make meritorious deeds, and gain wealth and wealth'." Looks like I'm really old! ”

Seeing that the master provoked him so much, Pharmacist Li knelt on the ground, his heart was pounding, and blurted out: "Master Rongyu, the disciple met a senior monk a few days ago, and he said that the disciple's ambition is not diminished Peigong'. The disciple does not dare to have the ambition of Peigong, but wishes to be the material of dispersion, "the tree is in the land of nothing, the wilderness of the vast, wandering on the side of inaction, and sleeping under the leisure". ”

The sentence quoted by Pharmacist Li "the land of nothing, the wilderness of the vast Mo, the inaction, and the leisure" is from the "Zhuangzi. Getaway", which means that Tao is obscure and contains light, and does not fight for external objects, so it can not be subject to external objects, but prosper and wither with heaven and earth.

The color of the Xuan neutron turned slightly, and he said slowly: "Listening to you, I can't wait so much, how can I have the slightest meaning of 'willing to be scattered'?" Even if you are wandering, you can't do nothing, and you can't sleep under it! ”

He looked at Pharmacist Li, his eyes full of love.

This apprentice, full of arrogance, often reminds him of himself when he was young.

This is one of his favorite apprentices, but also the one he least praises.

He smiled slightly: "Okay, you get up and talk." ”

Seeing that the master's words were kind, Pharmacist Li quickly kowtowed and stood up.

Xuan Zhongzi Wen Yan asked, "What have you done to make people say that you are 'ambitious and undiminished'?" ”

Pharmacist Li then told the master about the adventure on the top of Panlong Mountain.

When he mentioned the name of Master Shenguang, Xuan Zhongzi immediately looked awe-inspiring, as if he wanted to say something, but he endured it and ordered Pharmacist Li to continue.

When he said that when he realized that "there is no self, no one is like" is "sitting and forgetting", Xuan Zhongzi twisted his head and smiled.

When he said "lose energy and disperse true qi", Xuan Zhongzi also seemed to have a longing for it, and he thought about it for a long time.

Xuanzhongzi is fond of tea, and at this time, Wei Xuancheng saw that the master was listening to Pharmacist Li, and it had been a long time, so he was ready to decoction water and throw tea.

Xuan Zhongzi signaled and ordered him to listen quietly, and Wei Xuancheng sat back on his futon.

After Pharmacist Li finished talking to Shenguang and Radiant about the beginning and end of the study of the "Lenga Sutra" and "Yijin Sutra", Xuan Zhongzi nodded and only said, "Very good, very good." He groaned for a moment, and said, "Yakushi, you go to sencha." ”

Pharmacist Li knew that Master had something to say to himself, so he answered "yes" and went over to sencha first.
