Seeing his appearance as a mountain villager, Elder Huaqing frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" Blessed? Seeking longevity? Or is it seeking wealth? ”

Zhang Shaofei clasped his hands together and said calmly: "I don't seek blessing, nor longevity, nor wealth, but only to be a Buddha." ”

Elder Huaqing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you from?" What's your name?"

Zhang Shaofei replied briskly: "Elder Huiyu, the disciple is from Hebei, his ancestral home is Qiu County, his common surname is Zhang, and his name is Shaofei. ”

When Elder Huaqing heard this, he was secretly surprised: "Zhang Shaofei? You're a layman, why did you come up with a legal name?"

Zhang Shaofei looked at Elder Huaqing with reverence: "I don't know, my parents gave it to me since I was a child." ”

Elder Huaqing held his long beard and stared at Zhang Shaofei with scrutinizing eyes, and after a while, he shook his head: "You ......"

Several monks couldn't help but snicker when they heard Elder Huaqing shaking his head like a rattle. And the shadow is even more proud.

Zhang Shaofei was not intimidated by Elder Huaqing's momentum, he straightened his waist and said calmly: "Elder, this move is wrong!" ”

Zhang Shaofei said as soon as he spoke, and all the monks present were shocked!

In the Dongchan Temple, up and down, there are more than 800 disciples in total, and Elder Huaqing can be said to be full of words here. The disciples were so respectful of his words that no one dared to refute them.

Now, this stranger has just arrived, and as soon as he opens his mouth in front of the monks, he has the audacity to say that Elder Huaqing "This move is wrong." "Why don't you surprise them?

Faru's face sank, his eyes were sharp like a sword, and he shouted: "Bold! Did you come to seek Buddhahood or to provoke?"

Zhang Shaofei looked calm: "Of course it's to ask for Buddha." ”

Faru's tone was still so stern: "Since you are asking for Buddha, you have the audacity to say that the elder's move is wrong?"

All the monks also reprimanded Zhang Shaofei in unison.

Facing the rebuke of the monks, Zhang Shaofei was not in a hurry, and replied: "The elder shook his head just now, it was indeed wrong. ”

Faru reprimanded loudly: "You still dare to be hard-mouthed?"

The warrior monk Hong De beside Elder Huaqing was Faru's most loyal supporter, and he rushed forward and slapped Zhang Shaofei in the face.

"Smack!" Zhang Shaofei's face immediately jumped with five red fingerprints.

After Hong De beat people, he was not willing to give up, and loudly reprimanded Zhang Shaofei: "In the Dongchan Temple, insulting the elders, is this worth it?!" ”

Zhang Shaofei didn't refute, let alone fight back, and didn't even touch the beaten cheeks with his hands, still standing with his hands down.

"Hongde, don't come nonsense!" Elder Huaqing saw that Hong De had gone too far, so he shouted quietly to stop him.

Hong De's anger did not subside, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging and bulging, like earthworms curling up, but he didn't do it again, just said to Zhang Shaofei stupidly: "This is really cheap for you." ”

Elder Huaqing looked at Zhang Shaofei sharply and asked, "Why do you say that Lao Gao's move is wrong?"

Zhang Shaofei raised his head slightly and said bluntly: "Elder, you shook your head, obviously with a contempt for insult. You can't become a Buddha if you are arbitrary! This is a mistake. ”

"Wrong? What's wrong with the old man?" Elder Huaqing raised his voice and emphasized, "If you don't have a famous teacher, it will be difficult for you to become a Buddha after all." ”

When Zhang Shaofei first saw Elder Huaqing, he dared to express his heart in the face of this authority like the Five Ancestors: "Life is in the world, Buddhism is in the Datong world, how can there be a difference between famous and not famous teachers?" It is true that I am different from you, Elder, and the eminent monks, but the light of the Buddha that shines on us should be the same. Even if you don't have a famous teacher, although you are different from the elder, what is the difference in the nature of the Buddha?"

Elder Huaqing was shocked. I didn't expect this offspring boy in front of me to say such a thing, this is the essence of the sutra in the "Nirvana Sutra" that "all living beings have Buddha nature"! Elder Huaqing faintly felt that today's comer was a Buddhist instrument given to Dongchan Temple by the sky.

For so many years, in the Dongchan Temple, Elder Huaqing had only heard words of compliment and praise, and had never seen anyone who had dissenting opinions about him.

Now, this newcomer to the boy, as soon as they meet, he speaks extraordinary, which shows that he has a wisdom root, and he has even more extraordinary potential at the bottom of the heart lake.

After this face, Elder Huaqing felt a liking for Zhang Shaofei in his heart, which was of great help to him to integrate Zen and wisdom. But he was well aware of the consequences of the weight of his every expression in front of everyone, so Elder Huaqing did not express this opinion.

Elder Huaqing just asked with a flat expression: "Have you read too many juvenile books, and you have won Xiucai, or Jinshi?"

At this time, Zhang Shaofei's mind sounded the words of the old monk...... He waved his hand, "I have no father since I was a child, and I was raised by my mother's hard work. Because of his poor family, he never went to the school to study, let alone any talent and jinshi. ”

Elder Huaqing felt and said, "You are also quite good at talking. ”

Zhang Shaofei said sincerely: "I haven't seen anything in the world, I have little experience, and my knowledge is thin, but what I just said is all my heartfelt words. ”

Elder Huaqing was puzzled: "You are far away in Qiu County, how do you know that you have come to Dongchan Temple?"

"It was Master Huiming of Huichan Temple in Qiu County who asked me to come to the Five Patriarchs to study Buddhism. I didn't expect ......" Zhang Shaofei stopped when he said this, took out a letter from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Elder Huaqing, "This is a letter from Zen Master Huiming to the Five Ancestors." ”

Elder Huaqing took the letter, opened it on behalf of the fifth ancestor and read it, and saw that it was a letter of recommendation from his junior brother, so he said to Zhang Shaofei: "The sea of suffering of the monks is boundless, and it is necessary to go through thousands of hardships to achieve positive results. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for people who study Buddhism to be models of forgetting their bodies, stabbing blood, and breaking their arms. It is necessary to endure the unspeakable hardships of ordinary people, do the work that is difficult for ordinary people, and be inspirational and clear-minded, so as to make achievements. ”

Zhang Shaofei's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed a resolute look: "It's difficult to see your husband's heart, and you don't know the pine and cypress after the snow." That's what I'm here for, Elder. ”

Seeing that he was full of determination, Elder Huaqing groaned: "This ......"

Zhang Shaofei pleaded: "I hope that the elders will accept me as a disciple." ”

Elder Huaqing's gaze became extremely kind, caressing Zhang Shaofei over and over again like a warm hand, with a happy smile on his face.

A few days ago, when Elder Huaqing was meditating, in the midst of meditation, he saw a person hurrying towards Dongchan Temple. Gradually, the man ascended to the top of the eastern mountain and merged with the rising sun that happened to rise to the top of the mountain. As a result, the morning sun became more and more magnificent, radiating a brilliant light......

Elder Huaqing didn't know if this Zhang Shaofei who came today was the person, so he first tested his temperament and understanding with contemptuous language.

After listening to Zhang Shaofei's words, every sentence was in line with Zen Wisdom and Wisdom, and Elder Huaqing immediately felt that this human root device was extraordinary, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime good wisdom material.

Elder Huaqing wanted to have a further in-depth conversation with Zhang Shaofei, but seeing Faru and other disciples beside him, they glared at Zhang Shaofei angrily, they never thought that a newcomer would dare to argue with their god-like elders.

In this regard, Elder Huaqing deliberately sank his face and waved his hand resolutely: "You have never cultivated for half a day, nor have you sat in meditation for half a day, how can the old man lose your hair for you so hastily?"
