Wang Bei looked at Elder Huaqing, admitted it, and said, "The writing on the wall is exactly what I wrote. After finishing speaking, he turned around and pointed at Zhang Shaofei, "However, this verse was made by him." ”

Elder Huaqing asked Zhang Shaofei, "Did you do this?"

"Hmm." Zhang Shaofei nodded.

Elder Huaqing was puzzled: "What's going on?"

So, Wang Beijia told the cause and effect of the incident.

Elder Huaqing turned his face to Zhang Shaofei, who was standing in the crowd, and asked lightly, "What do you use to make verses?"

Zhang Shaofei pointed to his heart with his finger: "Use here." ”

Elder Huaqing faced the wall and recited softly:

Zen wisdom has no tree

The bright moon is not a platform

It wasn't meant to be a thing

Where does the light come from?

After reciting the verse, Elder Huaqing was silent for a while, and when he saw that all the monks were looking at him with inquiring eyes, he raised his hand and asked the monks, "Try to explain what this verse means?"

Feng Gang saw Elder Huaqing asking, and this time he first retreated behind the crowd.

Some of the slightly bolder monks came out to explain, but Elder Huaqing only shook his head after hearing this.

Seeing that Zen Master Huayu was present, Elder Huaqing asked, "Huayu, on weekdays, you have a deep understanding of the Buddha's wisdom and wisdom, so why don't you explain it to everyone?" ”

was ordered "will" by Elder Huaqing, Zen Master Huayu had no choice but to step forward, clear the old man's dumb voice, and explain with his opinion: "This verse is to say that the Zen Wisdom Tree and the Mingyue Platform are empty, without Zen Wisdom and no troubles, there is no object, where does the brilliance come from?" So, you don't have to take care of it diligently. This verse comes from the heart, and the self-realization is beyond the evidence, which shows the talent and wisdom!"

"Which of these two verses is higher? Which one is lower?" Hui Ming pointed to the two verses on the wall side by side, and asked the Huayu Shan.

"This ......" Zen Master Huayu was about to express his opinion, suddenly, he thought of the power of Faru in the temple, and he wanted to stop talking, and replied: "This ...... I'm also ...... Can't tell. ”

When Elder Huaqing saw Zhang Shaofei's words, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart: this is the "epiphany" that can penetrate the original Zen wisdom heart, which negates the body and mind, confusion and comprehension, and the opposing things of Zen wisdom and Mingyue from the concept that they are not things, and completely removes all restraints to restore the original face of life. On the basis of traditional Zen science, there is innovative development. Zhang Shaofei's realm has been above the law, no vain and no self, all worries are empty, like a round of moon after the rain, not stained with dust, thinking of the few days ago "ringing the bell with pears", "mating cakes and eating porridge" and other things, Elder Huaqing knows that this Zhang Shaofei has unique wisdom roots, and he is indeed the best candidate for the grandmaster.

After Elder Huaqing asked Zhang Shaofei to go back to work in the North Courtyard, he took half a step forward, and just wanted to comment, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "A miscellaneous subordinate can make something that can reach the wisdom of the Buddha!" ”

"That's it! Those of us who practice with the elder all day long are not as good as him as a practitioner with hair? How can it be his turn to come out and talk nonsense! ”

Someone else said, "If a cat or a dog can drive, what do they need mules and horses for?" Elder Huaqing listened, listened, his face was full of gloom, and he stood facing the wall.

Suddenly, Ying Yin said loudly with ulterior motives: "This poem is not well-intentioned, and it is clearly written against Faru!" ”

Hui Ming's eyes widened like bull's eyes: "Really? ”

Shadow said, "You don't have a head? Don't think about it? You see, Faru's poem is: 'As a Zen wisdom tree, the heart is like a bright moon mirror'; and that Zhang Shaofei's poem is 'Zen Hui has no tree, and the bright moon is not a platform', isn't this deliberately working against Faru and completely negating Faru's song? ”

Everyone seemed to suddenly realize, and echoed and exclaimed: Yo, that's really the case! Ying Yin said in a loud voice quite proudly: "What's even more infuriating is the last two sentences, and it's just a direct scolding Fa Ru for being a fool!" ”

Hui Ming shouted: "This dog mongrel dares to be disrespectful to the second senior brother of Faru, see if I don't screw off his head!" ”

Shadow said again, "There's more." His poem is actually an imitation and plagiarism of Faru's artistic conception. If it weren't for the verse in front of the second senior brother, he would not have been able to make this verse; If it weren't for the foreshadowing of the first song of the second senior brother, his later song would be simply bullshit, nothing! ”

Everyone talked about it, as if they had stabbed a honeycomb. Elder Huaqing also had to admit that thinking from the perspective of a person who had not attained enlightenment, Ying Yin also had a certain amount of truth in what he said. If this argument is echoed by the crowd, then ......

Elder Huaqing's face turned from worried to solemn!

Sure enough, Hui Ming was already furious: "This dog thing is really hateful, I'll go and beat him now!" ”

"Let's go!" Several young Zen monks are gearing up, ready to move.

After Fa Ru coughed heavily, he said, "Senior Brother Huiming, you don't have to be restless. And you, Shadow Hide, the elder is here, how many pairs can you be noisy? ”

After everyone calmed down, Hui Ming saluted Elder Huaqing's back and said, "Elder, your old man's eyes are like torches, do you think these two verses are higher or lower?" ”

In order to avoid disputes, Elder Huaqing's shoulders trembled a little, bent down, took off a shoe, and silently wiped the poem written by Zhang Shaofei on the wall with the sole of the shoe.

The people behind him couldn't see it, and the tears condensed in the corners of Elder Huaqing's eyes, condensing ......

After wiping the wall wall, Elder Huaqing's mood also stabilized. He turned around and said to everyone, "I don't see Buddha nature in this verse. You should practice according to the words of the second senior brother. ”

Zen Master Huayu has a wide range of experience and knowledge, and has long observed the changes in Elder Huaqing's demeanor from beginning to end. Naturally, he understood what was going on, so he didn't say anything more and left first.

Faru, Huiming and the others breathed a sigh of relief and slowly dispersed.

Elder Huaqing did not go back to the room, walked through the winding corridors of the Dongchan Temple, and looked up at the sky from time to time. But I saw the red sun sinking in the west, the dark clouds rolling, and the wind gusting...... The elder's sorrowful thoughts and the scene of Hui Ming, Ying Yin and others just now who didn't take him, as well as Zhang Shaofei's eyes, surged back into his heart......

Thoughts and worries were intertwined, Elder Huaqing couldn't help but stroke his long beard in his hands, and sighed to the sky: "The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it!" ”

Elder Huaqing climbed to the top of the Twin Peaks alone, his steps were very heavy, as if he was ten years old, as if he was carrying a thousand heavy burdens. Step by step, he walked upwards firmly...... I finally reached the top of the mountain and looked back at Tozenji Temple.

Heavy dark clouds hung over the temple, getting lower and lower, threatening to overwhelm the temple......

A flash of lightning burst out of the clouds, thunder exploded over the temple, and a torrential rain poured down......

At this time, in Faru's monk's room, Xiao Shami was reciting Zhang Shaofei's verses to Faru:

Zen wisdom has no tree

The bright moon is not a platform

It wasn't meant to be a thing

Where does the light come from?

An electric light pierced the dark sky, and a light that shone through the universe flashed in the depths of Faru's soul, and he couldn't help but shout: "Good! Thunder slammed into the ground, and the sound of rumbling was endless.

Xiao Shami covered his ears with his hands and looked strangely at Faru, who was extremely excited.

Faru's expression was indeed a little crazy, and he kept reciting Zhang Shaofei's verses, and his face was glowing with knowing and joyful brilliance.

He said with resentment: "Senior brother Zhang Shaofei, he is really a dragon elephant of the Buddha Huimen." I blamed myself for being too narrow-minded at the beginning, and I was smart but I was mistaken by being smart! At the beginning, the elder really didn't look away! ”

Xiao Shami looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Second Senior Brother, which is better, your son, or that subordinate?" ”

Faru laughed and said, "The pearl of rice grains, how can it compete with the sun and the moon!" ”

Xiao Shami nodded and said, "Naturally, the second senior brother, you are like the sun and the moon, and that person is like a grain of rice!" Faru said solemnly: "You are wrong, Zhang Shaofei is like the sun and the moon, and my Faru is like a grain of rice." ”

Xiao Shami grinned and said, "Second Senior Brother, you are too modest. If Zhang Shaofei's is good, why did the elder wipe it? ”

Fa Ru was taken aback: "What, the elder wiped off Zhang Shaofei's junior brother's side?" ”

The little novice nodded.

Faru was puzzled: "Why did the elder do this?" Why ......" Faru raised his eyes out of the window. Outside the window, thunder and lightning are blowing, wind and rain......
