Huineng took Liang Jinlian to the tiger's side, stroked its fur, and patted its mouth gently, and the tigress immediately became docile.

All this that happened in front of him made the ghost and the dwarf boy Ming frightened, and they were all blinded: the ferocious tiger would become so docile in front of this firewood boy. Their heads seemed to be stuffed into a mess, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them.

Liang Jinlian said to the ghost and the dwarf in a mocking tone: "Didn't I tell you just now, the person you want to catch has a right-hand man, you don't believe it, and you can smash him flat with one punch." Come, his helper is right in front of you, and this girl wants to see how you have smashed this right-hand man of his. ”

Where did the ghost and the dwarf dare to refute, so they had to sigh to themselves that they were unlucky.

Huineng looked at the ghost who was still trembling and said, "I believe that you have found me so hard, now I am in front of you, come and catch me and go back to receive the reward." ”

The ghost and the dwarf boy were trembling all over, and said, "Hui...... Benefit...... Huineng Division...... Senior brother, no, no, Master Huineng, the Sixth Ancestor, we are chasing and killing you, but we are just acting on orders. ”

Dwarf Ming also said tremblingly: "Hui...... Master Huineng Sixth Ancestor, we were confused for a while, and we listened to Yingyin's nonsense, and took the reward. You are the sixth ancestor, compassion is cherished, and you are thinking of the brotherhood of the same family, so you ...... Just spare us. ”

Huineng heard the brotherhood of his fellow disciples, moved with compassion, and said, "You two don't need to be so alarmed, get up first." ”

Ghost and Shorty stood up tremblingly.

Liang Jinlian said sharply: "Let me ask you, will you dare to come and kill Brother Aneng in the future?" ”

The ghost breathed a sigh of sorrow, calmed down his mood a little, and said, "Girl, you just give me the guts of an urn, and I don't dare to come to hunt down and kill your Brother Aneng." ”

The dwarf boy reluctantly agreed, "Yes, girl, we don't dare to mention the arrest of your Aneng brother again." ”

"Are you two serious?" Liang Jinlian deliberately asked.

The ghost swore to the sky: "I will never tell you what happened today, otherwise I will not die a good death." ”

Dwarf Ming also vowed: "If you tell this story, you will let the tiger eat it in the future." ”

The poisonous oath of the short boy Ming made Liang Jinlian amused: "Okay, if the tiger wants to eat you, it won't have to wait so long in the future." I guess you won't dare to come to Tianlu Mountain to do anything wrong again. ”

After the ghost saw that his heart was calm down for a while, he asked Liang Jinlian, "Girl, why did you bring us to this ghost place, what is this place called?" ”

"This place is called the Tiger Pit." Huineng pointed to the tiger-shaped mountain in front of him and said.

"No wonder there are tigers hiding there, tiger pits, it's really worthy of its name." Ghost said in a low voice.

The dwarf boy looked at Huineng puzzled: "Sixth Ancestor Master, how can this tiger listen to you so much?" ”

Huineng swallowed, and just wanted to open his mouth, Liang Jinlian preemptively said: "A few days ago, when this tiger fell into our trap and was almost killed by my father, Brother Aneng stepped forward, persuaded everyone, saved the tiger, and used sincerity to influence and tame it and speak for him. Now, the tiger and Aneng have become good friends. ”

Huineng said: "This is called good retribution, evil retribution." It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. When the time comes, everything will be reported. ”

This sentence has been heard more than a thousand times for Ghost Sorrow and Short Boy Ming. But today, it sounds like it goes straight to the heart and is deeply shocked! Repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. ”

Huineng's words are like sharp needles: "You enter the Buddha Gate in order to learn Buddhism and practice meditation, sow good fruits, and seek to benefit all sentient beings." ”

Liang Jinlian has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics with her grandfather since she was a child, and she has also heard Li and Huineng talk about Buddhism, and took advantage of the situation to say: "Yes, you are in the Buddhist gate, you should do good deeds, how can you hold weapons in your hands, wander the world, and chase and kill everywhere?" Isn't this contrary to the Buddha's consistent teachings, contrary to your original intention when you became a monk? ”

"This ......" After hearing this, the ghost and the dwarf boy lowered their heads in shame.

Hui Neng saw that the two of them had the intention of repenting, so he followed the temptation:

If a tree's roots are poisonous, so will its flowers and fruits. Even if you enter the empty door, if your foundation is not right, your mind is still in the world, the root of evil has not been eliminated, you go after fame and fortune, and you will lose your original intention of cultivation. Ask the Buddha to practice meditation, it is not easy to say that it is easy, and it is not difficult to say that it is difficult. All living beings have Buddha nature. Practicing meditation does not necessarily require reciting scriptures in the Buddha hall, tigers are also sentient beings, and they also have Buddha nature. Man is more rational than a tiger, as long as he is sincere. If you leave the evil way forever, you will be born in the good way. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

Huineng's words of asking the Buddha to practice meditation suddenly made the ghost and the dwarf boy have an epiphany, and swore to the sky one by one: "Wash your heart and change your face, change evil from good, and benefit all sentient beings." ”

Jin Wuxi fell, Huineng looked at the red sun that was slanted to the west, and said, "It's not early, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”

"When you go back, don't do any more evil." Liang Jinlian prompted.

"We must change our past wrongs, go to evil and follow good." Ghost Seeing Sorrow and Short Boy Ming said in unison, and was about to leave after speaking, when he suddenly thought that in Chengcheng Town, there were still a few warrior monks sent by Shadow Yin, and I am afraid that it will not work to go back like this, they will also disperse to search for Huineng, maybe they will ......

When Hui Neng saw that they were groaning, he said, "Why don't you go for a long time? ”

When the dwarf boy asked, he said the reason: "Before we left, the monk in the temple told us that you are a filial son, and during the escape, you will definitely come back quietly to visit your mother, so you sent more than ten brothers to Longshan, stationed in the local area, in addition to ambushing, but also sent people to search around. ”

Liang Jinlian said angrily: "You are waiting for the rabbit by doing this!" Buddhism has always preached to teach people to be good, why are you so excited to mobilize the people and kill them all?! ”

"That's not all, you ...... said the Sixth Ancestor" Dwarf Ming looked at Huineng, and stopped talking.

"What else do you want to say about me?" Huineng opened his eyes sharply and looked at the dwarf Ming.

Dwarf Ming looked at Liang Jinlian and said tremblingly, "Sixth Ancestor Master, forgive me...... Don't dare to say. ”

Liang Jinlian's eyes widened angrily, and she stepped forward, "Don't say anything, let the tiger wait for you!" ”

As soon as Dwarf Ming heard Liang Jinlian mention the tiger again, he knelt down in front of Huineng with a "plop" and kept kowtowing and pleading, "Master Sixth Ancestor, spare your life...... Master of the Six Ancestors, spare your life ......"

Hui Neng saw that Dwarf Akira, a majestic warrior monk who usually stood in Dongzen Temple, was afraid of being like this at this time, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Get up and talk." ”

Dwarf Zaiming slowly stood up and said, "Before leaving, Zhike Yingyin said to our captain Shi Rulong, who came to chase you this time, 'There is a village girl named Li Xiaolan in Houliang Village, who was born like a fairy and is the flesh of Huineng's heart, you are a person who values love and righteousness, during the period of escape, you will definitely quietly run back to meet her, and said, if you can't be caught, I will rape you first and then kill!" Short Boy Ming told what he overheard Ying Yin say to Shi Rulong before leaving.

Huineng hadn't heard from Li Xiaolan for a long time, and as soon as he heard what Short Boy Ming said, "rape first and then kill", he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of blood from his mouth with a "whoosh", and shouted to the sky: "Sister Alan, I hurt you!" After Huineng finished shouting, he only felt that his eyes were dark and fainted.

Seeing this, Liang Jinlian hurriedly walked over to support Huineng, and squeezed his seal hard.

The ghost and the dwarf saw that there was a stream nearby, and they hurried to the stream.

Liang Jinlian saw that there was no one around, put Huineng down, and started a few artificial respirations with him mouth-to-mouth, and then said, "Brother Aneng, wake up quickly!" Ghost Sorrow and Short Boy Ming also did this to me just now, 'rape first and then kill', didn't I do it well in front of you? ”

When Liang Jinlian said this, she kept shaking Huineng, and said, "Brother Aneng, the little Lanji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine......

Ghost Sorrow and Dwarf Ming came back with half a pocket of water in banana leaves, and Ghost Sorrow said loudly while dripping into Huineng's mouth: "Sixth Ancestor Master, this girl is right, that fairy will be fine!" ”

Besides, Huineng was constantly shaken by Liang Jinlian, and drank a little mountain stream water on his mouth, and after a while, his hands and feet slowly moved, and he woke up.

Seeing that Hui Neng was still thinking silently after waking up, the ghost had no choice but to express his bitterness: "Sixth Ancestor Master, since you got the robe and golden bowl of the Fifth Ancestor Hongnin Master, Senior Brother Shenxiu does not agree with us coming to hunt you down. ”

Huineng: "Why? ”

The ghost said sadly: "Senior Brother Shenxiu said, 'The Fifth Ancestor has always been a discerning talent, and he will not pass on the mantle by mistake. Everything can only go with the flow. ’”

Liang Jinlian: "So, why are you still mobilizing people to chase and kill?" ”

The ghost saw sorrow and made a Buddhist salute to Hui Neng: "Sixth Ancestor Master, can you let me dissect the truth, don't be surprised." ”

Hui Neng said calmly: "Okay, if you have anything, you can say it directly, all along, I really want to hear the words from the bottom of my heart to know the truth." ”

The ghost saw the sweat dripping from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Some people in the temple say that you are a fangfang from the wild and desperate Xinzhou, and when you were in Huangmei Dongchan Temple, you were just a lowly handyman, doing the hard work of collecting firewood and rice, and you didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Buddha hall to listen to the lectures of the five ancestors. Not to mention the fact that the basic Buddha practice of hair loss shaving has not yet been passed. It can be said that he is not an authentic monk, so how can he be qualified to be the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism? ”

The corners of Huineng's mouth moved slightly: "You are telling the truth, I am still a layman in Dongchan Temple who has never lost his hair and shaved his face. ”

Oni Jian Chou continued: "And Senior Brother Shenxiu has always been the Theravada professor in the temple, and we regard him as the successor of the Zen sect with high morality. When I learned that Master Hongren had passed on the ancestral robe and golden bowl to you, many people in the temple did not understand and even became angry in their hearts, and fought for Senior Brother Shenxiu. Especially our Huangmei Dongchan Temple's Shi Rulong. He is a fellow villager and friend of Senior Brother Shenxiu, and he is also the high-ranking chief warrior monk in the temple. This time, I was appointed as the deputy captain and ordered me to chase me straight to Lingnan Xinzhou. ”
