Zen Master Hui'an humorously said, "Who is mixing rice with rice? He's planting rice (Dao) for everyone! Seeds, naturally, have shells! Otherwise, there will be no budding. ”

Elder Huaqing interjected on the side: "You must not want your Dao seed to fail to sprout, right?" So, you should thank people! ”

All the people at the scene applauded the Zen machine witty words of Lao An Zen Master and Elder Huaqing!

Lao An Zen Master looked at Zhang Shaofei lying on the stone mortar, patted him on the shoulder, and said humorously: "This little brother, how do you make rice?" How to make the rice husk not hurt at all? ”

People heard the sound of Lao An Zen Master - the rice mixed in the rice at noon was not put into the stone mortar at all! In other words, the reason why those rice husks were brought was not caused by Zhang Shaofei's carelessness when cooking rice, but someone deliberately put it in.

Elder Huaqing glared at the prefect monk, and the prefect monk shuddered.

Seeing that Zhang Shaofei had no reaction, Lao An Zen Master looked down and couldn't help laughing: "Haha...... Little brother, no wonder the incense board hit you without any reaction, dare to be affectionate, and enter meditation! ”

"What? Zhang Shaofei was able to settle down when he was beaten? The prefect exclaimed: Oh my God, what a miraculous state this is!

Hui Ming shouted stupidly: "How is this possible? It must be a demon law! ”

The governor and monk called Huiqing, who had followed, to fetch the chime.

How can a person who has entered deep meditation wake up as if he is dead, and he is unconscious when the incense board hits his body? Only the sound of the chime could awaken him from meditation.

Elder Huaqing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, wait for him to make a decision naturally." If you wake him up at this point, your ass must hurt terribly. ”

Lao An Zen Master patted Zhang Shaofei in meditation again, and said inexplicably: "Today, the mountain monk ate a grain of Dao (rice) seed because of you, and he will return you a living Gu Hui seed in the future." As he spoke, he picked up a grain of rice in his hand and said to everyone: "Don't underestimate this grain, after a hundred years, thousands of grains will be born from it!" ”

……

It took seven days for him to come out of meditation. At this time, the wound on his buttocks was no longer a major problem.

Huiqing saw that he was out of order, and knelt down in front of him, prostrate on the ground, crying bitterly.

Zhang Shaofei was inexplicable, and asked Huiqing again and again, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Huiqing just begged him for forgiveness and refused to say anything.

Zhang Shaofei said: "You don't have anything to be sorry for me, you can't talk about forgiving or not." Zhang Shaofei picked him up.

Huiqing said: "Zhang Shaofei, you are too honest and loyal, you should know the difficulties and retreat." ”

"Knowing the difficulty and retreating? Why? ”

"Because...... Think about it yourself, anyway, you must be in the way of someone in the Dongzen Temple! ”

Zhang Shaofei thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason.

Huiqing said: "Zhang Shaofei, if you really want to become a monk and learn Buddhism, you can go to Lushan on the other side of the Yangtze River, where Donglin Temple, Xilin Temple, Dalin Temple, and Guizong Temple are located...... They are all famous avenues, and if you are so religious, they will welcome you. If you stay here, I'm afraid your life will be ruined sooner or later......"

Zhang Shaofei shook his head and said, "There are so many dojos in the world, but it is difficult to find a master who has the same heart. I came all the way from Qiu County to learn Zen wisdom from Elder Huaqing, even if I was broken, I would never back down! ”

Huiqing sighed helplessly, shook his head and left.

……

More than half a month has passed since Zhang Shaofei was unjustly beaten, and he is still stepping on rice every day in the mill.

Zhang Shaofei's character of enduring humiliation, treating others leniently, and being humble and harmonious did not win the respect of those senior brothers. Perhaps, they felt that Zhang Shaofei was weak and could be bullied, or perhaps, they were instructed by someone to intensify their efforts, trying every means to bully and tease Zhang Shaofei, and trying to squeeze him out of the temple.

Zhang Shaofei always accepted it, handled it calmly, smiled and never cared.

Since Zhang Shaofei came to the house, those walkers began to be lazy, as long as Zhang Shaofei left a little, they poured the rice that Zhang Shaofei had already scooped into their baskets.

Zhang Shaofei pretended not to know, but just tied more than 50 catties of falling stones to speed up the frequency of stepping on the waist, and ate more.

It seems that after long-term overload and over-intensity work, Zhang Shaofei's waist and legs have suffered from stubborn diseases, and even throughout his life, this disease has been with him.

……

Attaching equal importance to agriculture and Zen, it is a Zen dojo created by the four ancestors Daoxin and the five ancestors Hongren according to the actual situation of the Dongchan Temple at that time, that is, the combination of labor and meditation. Therefore, all the people of Tozenji Temple have to go to the farmland to cultivate while practicing.

Zhang Shaofei is no exception, doing chores in the monastery while farming in the farmland.

The green vegetables planted by Zhang Shaofei diligently are green and lush, and the growth is particularly lovely, and some senior brothers and sisters saw it, and they were jealous and picked (destroyed) these tender green vegetables.

Although Zhang Shaofei was wronged, he only wanted to be innocent and not to worry about them.

Once, Ying Yin informed the monks in his circle that Elder Huaqing was going to check the disciples' homework and farm work tomorrow, and two of the monks saw that the vegetables were growing exceptionally well in the vegetable field planted by Zhang Shaofei, so they picked the vegetables in advance.

When Zhang Shaofei arrived at the vegetable field, he found that the greens in his vegetable field had been picked and gone, and there was no one left, and it was empty.

Zhang Shaofei returned empty-handed, so he had to stand helplessly aside. The two monks gloated, thinking that Elder Huaqing would definitely punish Zhang Shaofei.

After about half a bag of work, Elder Huaqing, accompanied by Fa Ru, came to the farm work, and saw that Zhang Shaofei was empty in front of him, which made him feel very strange.

Elder Huaqing thought to himself: This Zhang Shaofei is not a lazy person! The greens he planted must have been picked by someone else......

Elder Huaqing looked at Zhang Shaofei again, and to his surprise, Zhang Shaofei was robbed of the vegetables, neither annoyed, nor angry, nor anxious, nor justified himself, let alone exposed the ulterior motives of those who stole the vegetables he planted.

Elder Huaqing was a thoughtful generation of grandmasters, but when he inspected, he found that among the green vegetables picked by the other two monks, the word "Zhang Shaofei" was on the back of the leaves.

Looking down again, the word "Zhang Shaofei" turned out to be the traces of some insects crawling. At this time, Elder Huaqing paid attention to Zhang Shaofei's expression again, and saw that he was standing in front of him empty-handed, but he was still so calm, so calm, and so calm.

Elder Huaqing saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't say the mystery, but secretly thought in his heart, this disciple has a pure foundation, a clear heart, and an extraordinary instrument, and he will become a great weapon one day.

Elder Huaqing asked the two monks quietly: "This vegetable grows so well, when will it be planted?" How many times has the fertilizer been applied? How many times have you watered? ”

The two monks stumbled and dealt with a few random words.

Elder Huaqing has participated in labor since he was a child, and he is familiar with the growth laws of various vegetables, so he has a clear heart. He saw that Zhang Shaofei didn't care, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Heaven is clear, people can be bullied, but hearts cannot be bullied; Cause and effect are clear, and heaven and earth are not deceived.
