"Ah, it's the second shift!" Zhang Shaofei's heart was hot, and he counted the time in the bed...... When the third day arrived, Zhang Shaofei lifted the quilt, got up from the bed, put on monk shoes, gently opened the door, and walked out.

In the long corridor, silver-gray moonlight shines through the mullioned windows, casting dappled light and shadows on the ground.

Zhang Shaofei tiptoed across the corridor and turned the semicircular arch.

There are two figures in front of them, who are more monks.

Zhang Shaofei dodged and hid in the chrysanthemum bushes.

The two monks on duty walked over with lanterns and bangs.

"Amu, I seem to have seen a figure shaking just now." The tall watchman whispered to his companion.

The value monk known as Amu was waving his hand: "No." At this time, everyone is asleep, how can there be any figure? Are you dazzled? ”

The tall monk: "Let's go check it out, I'm most afraid of any mistakes, you and I can't take responsibility." ”

Amu looked helpless: "Since you called to investigate, brother, let's check." ”

Thereupon. The two duty monks carried lanterns to inspect the vicinity of the chrysanthemum bushes.

Zhang Shaofei, who was hiding in the chrysanthemum bushes, didn't dare to move, holding his breath tightly, for fear that they would hear the sound of breathing.

The two monks searched at random, but found nothing.

Amu stood only three feet away from Zhang Shaofei's hideout, complaining about the tall monk: "Brother, I have just said, how can there be a figure at this time, you must have stepped on the taro as a snake." If you think about it, the people who live in the north courtyard are the hardest and poorest people in the whole temple, and thieves won't patronize these poor places! ”

The tall value monk was said by the other party's face was hot: "Even if I was dazzled by the mistake just now, okay?" Do you want me to apologize to you?"

The two watchmen left the chrysanthemum bush with lanterns and walked towards the hall, and soon the two figures disappeared into the darkness over there.

Hearing the silence around him, Zhang Shaofei flashed out of the chrysanthemum bushes, and walked through the south corridor with light and fast steps to the Huaqing Elder's Room.

He doesn't go in through the front door, but walks to the back door.

In the dead of night, there is still a light in the abbot's room. The crimson door at the back door of the bedroom was closed.

A bright light can dispel thousands of years of darkness! The elder wore the gold-red robe with gold and thread, and sat cross-legged in front of the Buddhist shrine, with a solemn and sacred demeanor.

In the distance, there was the sound of three watches.

Almost at the same time, there were three soft knocks outside the door.

However, Elder Huaqing didn't hear it, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

It turned out that the back door of the bedroom was just a false cover and was not chained, Zhang Shaofei gently pushed the door open, turned around and closed the door.

The door opened and closed softly with a "babble", and Zhang Shaofei came uninvited!

Two soybean oil lamps on the wall are "creaking" and ignishing.

Under the swaying and jumping light, Zhang Shaofei saw that Elder Huaqing was sitting on the rectangular platform, with plump cheeks, kind eyes and eyebrows, two ears hanging down the shoulders, wearing a robe on the right side, and lowering his eyes.

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly walked in front of Elder Huaqing, bowed his head three times, and then sat down quietly opposite the incense case.

Elder Huaqing's eyelids lifted slightly, and he saw Zhang Shaofei's move. I already understood a little in my heart, but I deliberately sank my face: "You are a lay disciple, do you understand the strict rules of the temple, this south corridor is not where you came, and you dare to trespass into my room late at night?"

Zhang Shaofei: "The elder asked me to come." ”

Elder Huaqing pretended not to understand: "When did I ask you out?"

Zhang Shaofei's voice replied in a small but firm voice: "During the day, elder, you go to the rice room. I knocked three times on the stone with a Zen stick, and I came to the third watch. ”

Elder Huaqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked, "Even if I asked you out, why didn't you go through the front door and enter from the back?"

Zhang Shaofei explained: "Your Zen staff is not knocked on the front of the stone pillar, but on the back of the stone pillar. ”

"You really understood what I meant, and you came as promised." Elder Huaqing smiled at this time. It is true that the world's Buddhist temples are like forests, and the monks in the world are like the sea, but how many people are there who are truly insightful?

Zhang Shaofei asked respectfully, "Elder, which direction should I sit in?"

"Sit here." Elder Huaqing made a gesture and motioned for Zhang Shaofei to sit on another futon in front of him.

Zhang Shaofei respectfully sat down on the futon, facing Elder Huaqing, he knowingly asked, "Elder asked the disciple to come to the third watch, what advice do you have?"

Elder Huaqing got straight to the point: "Let me ask you, what is your opinion on the 'precepts', 'wisdom', and 'concentration' in the six paramitas?"
