Faru was shocked when he heard that Zhang Shaofei was so wonderful and spoke extraordinary. originally wanted Zhang Shaofei to look foreign in front of Elder Huaqing and everyone, but it backfired, and he had no choice but to say "um" on his lips and leave the mill boringly.

One day, Zhang Shaofei went to the Buddhist hall to listen to Elder Huaqing's lecture.

Hundreds of monks in the Buddhist hall sat quietly on the ground, listening attentively.

Elder Huaqing meditated cross-legged on the pulpit and recounted the Diamond Sutra: "'The mind should be born without dwelling', this sentence in the Diamond Sutra means to do everything with an unrestrained heart. That is, when you are happy, you are not bound by your happiness; When we mourn, we are not limited by sorrow. "In the Diamond Sutra, it is also said that 'should be born without dwelling mind', and the word 'dwelling' means that the mind stops somewhere and is attracted by something, and dwelling is the root cause of confusion......"

Zhang Shaofei listened quietly, and his dry heart was moistened like a rainstorm. This principle of "seeing nature and becoming a Buddha" that "everything that exists is inseparable from the heart" has become the golden rule for Zhang Shaofei to vigorously propagate the Dharma in Huilin in the future.

When Zhang Shaofei finished listening to the Buddhist scriptures and walked out of the Buddhist hall, he met a new monk.

This monk has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a wide mouth and a big face, and a long-haired black mole on his left cheek. Ah, this man is both strange and familiar.

Zhang Shaofei frowned and thought for a while, and finally came up with it, so he stepped forward and gave a salute: "May I ask senior brother, are you Chen Huiming from Cangzhou, Hebei?"

The monk blinked his eyes like copper bells: "My common surname is Chen Zhaolie, I am new to the city, how do you know me?"

"We met in Qiu County many years ago." Zhang Shaofei then talked about the "martial arts competition" that year.

When Chen Huiming heard this, he suddenly realized, patted his bare head with his hand, and grinned: "Cough, look at me as a reckless man, even you can't recognize me." ”

"You can't be blamed for that. The world is like passing water, and life is a few months. You and I have changed a lot in every way over the years. Zhang Shaofei said to him.

Chen Huiming patted Zhang Shaofei on the shoulder with his hand: "I didn't expect to meet you in Dongchan Temple." ”

"It's called 'meeting with a thousand miles of fate'!" Zhang Shaofei then asked him about his situation after the breakup in Qiu County.

"It's like a dream!" Chen Huiming sighed first, and then talked about his life journey after parting.

After Chen Huiming "competed" in Qiu County, he went north to join the army. He was a superior martial artist, always leading the charge, and whenever Ming Jin withdrew his troops, his Daguan sword was curled up and stained with the blood of his enemies. Once he had a meritorious rescue, he was promoted to the rank of four-rank general. But Chen Huiming was bold, fierce as fire, and soon was squeezed out and hit by his colleagues, he felt that the officialdom was not a place to stay for a long time, and he felt that he was too heavy to kill, so he became a monk in the north, cut his hair and became a monk, and his legal name was Huiming. Later, when he heard that the Huaqing elders of the Dongchan Temple in Qizhou were profound, he went south alone and came to the Dongchan Temple, hoping to get the true inheritance of the Huaqing elders.

Zhang Shaofei heard the story of Chen Huiming in the past - Huiming today, and lamented the sinister world and the hardships of life.

After talking freely, the two went back to their own lodgings.

As soon as Hui Ming arrived at Dongchan Temple, the second senior brother Fa Ru saw his appearance of not being angry and threatening, and his speech was very arrogant. After a little investigation, I knew that he had peerless martial arts.

Faru, who is familiar with the world and scheming, knows that if he wants to ascend the throne of Huizu one day, he must recruit a group of wings, and this martial artist with strong martial arts and a simple mind is one of the best candidates.

According to the temple rules of Dongchan Temple, new monks who enter the temple must first do work such as carrying water, collecting firewood, scooping rice, and grinding powder.

And as soon as this Huiming entered the temple, Fa Ru said to Elder Huaqing: "Now the mountains and rivers are swinging, and thieves are swarming. It is important to protect the monastery from being looted by bandits. This Hui Ming, who was originally a four-grade general, had galloped across the sword bushes and sword trees, and the smoke of gunpowder, if he was asked to do some miscellaneous work, it would be a secret investment and a waste of talents. It is better to let him act as the foreman of the warrior monks of the temple, and it will be more beneficial to Yu Dongchan Temple. ”

Elder Huaqing listened to what Fa Ru said, and nodded in agreement.

Faru immediately found Hui Ming, with a smile on his face: "All newcomers to the temple have to do three years of hard work according to the temple rules. You're certainly no exception. ”

Hui Ming rolled up the sleeves of the monk's robe and said boldly: "Then I'll do it." ”

Faru waved his hand: "No, no. ”

Hui Ming blinked in puzzled eyes: "What's wrong?"

Faru smiled: "In the past, Bole got along with each other. I am a talented person, and I will not let you be empty of your skills and bow to a low position. I have already enshrined the elders, and in the future, you will be the foreman of the warrior monks of the temple!"

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for your support." Hui Ming clenched his fists with both hands, bent over and struck, although he escaped into the empty door, he still had the pride and chivalry of the rivers and lakes.

Faru patted him on the shoulder: "I am a discerning talent, I hope you will not live up to my kindness." "

Hui Ming slapped his chest with his hand and swore a vow: "Receiving the grace of dripping water, I will repay him as a spring." Even if he gets a grass ring in the future, I will serve you as the second senior brother. ”

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. This Hui Ming later became Faru's right-hand man.

……

The dandelions in the mountains once bloomed and scattered. The camellia by the stream bloomed and thanked.

Outside the window of Elder Huaqing's abbot's room, a few old bumps were added to the thick trunk of the Bodhi tree, making it even more pale.

Elder Huaqing has been coming to this Dongchan Temple for decades, and he gradually feels that he is too old to do anything. In order to make the Zen forest have a long history and to carry forward the wisdom religion, it is necessary to select a disciple among the disciples and give him the mantle and become the heir of the wisdom religion. And this disciple must be pure in the six roots, have transcendent virtues, and be proficient in Buddha's wisdom and wisdom. Therefore, Elder Huaqing often went deep into the monk's house on weekdays, talked with his disciples, secretly observed their conduct and morality, and took advantage of some difficult problems to assess.

The sun shot countless hot arrows from high in the sky, and the earth was like a big brazier.

The heat in the low-slung tiled-roof monk's house was even more scorching.

In the monk's room, the monks shook the pu fan vigorously, but they couldn't add coolness to the hot body.

Zhang Shaofei, Huiqing and others who were grinding in the mill were even more uncomfortable.

The monastery is a unified monk and a male layman, and there is not a single woman. At this time, Zhang Shaofei, who was stuffy and uncomfortable, took off his black clothes and put down his gray monk's robe with his brothers one by one.

Zhang Shaofei was naked, and beads of sweat flowed down his smooth back like a trickling stream. The dust raised during grinding sticks to the skin of the face and neck, clogging the pores and making it uncomfortable.

Huiqing was already overworked, coupled with the scorching heat, drying, drying, and actually fainted next to the stone.

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly ran over and rubbed the "Renzhong" acupuncture points under his nostrils for him, and after a while, Huiqing slowly woke up.

At this moment, the monk on duty shouted loudly outside the mill: "Divide the pears!" Divide the pears!" The monk on duty walked around all corners of the temple.

Zhang Shaofei, Huiqing and others put on their clothes and came to a lawn in front of the main hall.

On one side of the lawn, there are large and small baskets, which are full of green pears.
