When he came to the lake, he looked at the pink clouds reflected on the lake in front of him, squatted down, held a large bag of water with both hands, and drank enough.

After drinking the water, he was about to hold the water with both hands for Liang Jinlian to drink, when he suddenly saw a pair of beautiful shadows in the clear lake water - the slim shadows of him and Liang Jinlian were reflected on the surface of the lake......

"Ah, the holy lotus ...... in my heart" Huineng couldn't help but stay there, looking at the reflection in the lake......

In the midst of his thoughts, he heard a voice, "Brother Aneng, what are you thinking below?" ”

This cordial call awakened him in contemplation.

As soon as he stood up, he only heard Liang Jinlian's exclamation of "hey", and he slid down into the lake like a slide.

Seeing this, he jumped into the lake and jumped into the lake to save Liang Jinlian.

At this moment, a colorful auspicious cloud golden light appeared in mid-air, and he seemed to see Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, holding a pure bottle of willow branches, stepping on lotus flowers and floating here, stopping above the Ping Lake, and gently brushing the willow branches on the surface of the lake......

He jumped and happened to jump onto Liang Jinlian's body as he surfaced out of the lake......

The shadow of Liang Jinlian is like a lotus flower, which is placed on the surface of the lake like a golden bottle, and he sits on the golden lotus, just like a shocking "Buddha sitting on a lotus......

Providence? Coincidence? Or is it an incredible chance......

The sun slowly passed through the clouds, revealing her already swollen and flushed face, like a shy girl looking at the lake.

He looked at the colorful auspicious clouds reflected in the lake, quickly sat up, and hugged Liang Jinlian to the lake.

……

With the affectionate call of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, at this time, an amazing miracle appeared - this golden lotus did not go downstream, but upstream! It was above the surging waves, in the torrent of thousands of miles, not only did not sink, it was not washed into the distant sky, but slowly floated upstream, to the sixth ancestor Huineng! And closer and closer, closer and closer, as if to float to his feet......

Sixth Ancestor Huineng didn't believe his eyes anymore, he closed them vigorously, and then opened them again. Strangely, the nasturtium stopped right in front of him. As a result, the scenes of his mother's seclusion in Tianlu Mountain surfaced in his mind again......

He leaned down and carefully picked up the golden lotus and placed it in his palm as if it had been a treasure.

The river is mighty, and the turbid waves are tumbling...... The sixth ancestor Huineng held the golden lotus and looked at Tianlu Mountain from afar: Tianlu Mountain is still green, and the high mountain water rushing down from the Tianlu Mountain Range is still murmuring, and even the wind blowing through the rice fields is so familiar and kind......

Upon hearing the news, officials in NSW had already lined up at the Dongkou Wharf in NSW to greet them.

As soon as Sixth Patriarch Huineng stepped on the dock, an old monk with white eyebrows stepped forward, bowed down, and said, "You are finally back." ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng waited for the old monk to raise his head, and saw that on his face, there was a long beard with snow and deep wrinkles, but he was kind and kind, and he suddenly remembered: "Ah, you are Master Lonely Sky, right?"

"Lao Qu is the lonely emptiness of Jintai Temple." The old eyes of the Silent Sky Zen Master overflowed with a little crystal tears, and his voice trembled a little with excitement, "Sixth Ancestor, we haven't seen each other for fifty years, and you can recognize the old man at a glance. "

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng knelt on the ground with a "bang" and bowed to the Zen Master of the Silent Sky: "Master is polite. ”

At this moment, the Zen Master of Silence was busy, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng up: "You are now the Sixth Ancestor of Zen Buddhism, why did you bow down to the old man instead?" Isn't this a mess of the law?"

Sixth Ancestor Huineng said sincerely: "If it weren't for listening to your teachings outside the walls of Jintai Temple in the past, if it weren't for the past when you instructed me to go to Huangmei to seek the Dharma, how could I Huineng be where I am today?"

Zen Master Silent Sky: "The past is the past, today is today!" ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng: "There is a way to be a teacher for one day and a father for life." ”

Zen Master Shankong: "But today you have boundless power, and you are already the ancestor of our Zen Buddhism, and you should no longer look at everything in the world from the perspective of the past." In Buddhism, you are now my master. ”

A conversation between the two. The officials and monks present were very moved after hearing this.

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng first gave a few lectures to local officials and monks in New State.

When the sixth ancestor Huineng returned to his former residence, the monks were jubilant.

The former residence of Longshan in Xinzhou has been rebuilt into Guoen Temple by edict.

The next day, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng took his disciples to climb the Pagoda of Thanksgiving built by Fahai and Likai. Looking around, the fields are like satin, the mountains and rivers of the hometown are in full view: Longshan is still green, Luxi is still gurgling, and even the wind blowing through the rice fields is so familiar and so kind......

Thinking that when he was 24 years old, he heard the scriptures and realized the Tao, and was funded by the great benevolent An Daocheng of Xinzhou, leaving home and going north to Huangmei Dongchan Temple to seek Buddhism...... formed a friendship that will last a lifetime; In the prosperous years spent in his hometown, he had a lifelong friend since he was a child and a neighboring village Xiaolan Mei...... Everything that had happened came to his mind, how could it not make him think a lot? It's like a TV series, and the scenes are reproduced one by one, roaring and rushing in my mind......

Huineng can't remember how many nights she dreamed of this talented and beautiful Li Xiaolan. It was only then that he realized the full meaning of this. He understood that he had no time to say goodbye to Li Xiaolan and Liang Jinlian at his home in Xialu Village that day, so he followed the old monk down the mountain and went straight to Guangzhou. Since then, it has been like yin and yang separated by each other, and there has never been a chance to meet again......

At this moment, back to his hometown, the long-lost years, everything that had happened between him and them, reproduced in his mind one by one, and stirred up such turbulent waves in his chest!

……

Huineng clearly remembers that since that time, his mother asked him seriously "do you like Xiaolan", and he said "Of course I do".

As the saying goes, "men should get married, women should get married", the mother asked the matchmaker to propose to the Li family, Xiaolan and her father also agreed very much with this marriage, and the lifelong event between him and Xiaolan was decided.

At that time, he felt that he was the happiest man in the world.

After dinner, he sometimes walked and chatted with his mother by the pond next to his father's house; Sometimes I walk with Xiaolan by the pond to enjoy the lotus.

In the summer evening, the willow branches are swaying, the birds are chirping, and the lotus flowers in the pond are budding and waiting to be released, exuding bursts of fragrance, rising and diffusing over the pond, blurry and intoxicating.

The breeze with a little residual warmth, lazily sticking to the face and forehead, surrounding the left and right, rippling in the heart.

The fragrance of the moonlight, holding up the gorgeous colorful clouds, reflecting the lotus flowers in the pond, gentle and affectionate, graceful and graceful. A pool of pink delicacy, full of enchantment. The white is like jade, the pink is like xia, the red is like a flag, the purple is noble, the water surface is sparkling, and the warmth is like blue.

Patches of emerald green lotus leaves, swaying in the wind, floating slightly. The leaves of the water lily are even more lovely, spreading evenly and neatly on the surface of the water...... He watched, watched, and couldn't help but think about it, as if he was using water as a bed and leaves as a quilt, lying on it, embracing a crescent moon, holding a pool of clear water, and holding a lotus flower to sleep.

In the dream, Xiaolan is a companion, and the water lilies dance together, swaying, calling! The faint fragrance blows in, penetrating every corner of the body, holding your breath and savoring the original innocence unique to this child.

He sat on the edge of the pool, a water lily was looking at him and laughing, she was as white as jade, as blue as snow, like snow, and there was no impurities at all. He smiled in return, quietly interpreting her thoughts......

Since saving Xiaolan, he has always referred to her as a pure and noble lotus flower in his heart, and has always had an elegant dream related to lotus. At this moment, when he was beside Xiaolan, this dream was even more real and like an illusion, with wisps of refreshing fragrance, and unpredictably showed him an intoxicating smile:

The clear water is long, the jade lotus is charming, and the pure and noble lotus is a beautiful dream for him to bathe in the sun at the moment?

The icy and jade lotus flowers bloomed on the surface of the lake one by one, the oily lotus leaves swayed quietly on the water, and suddenly there were a few beautiful goldfish quietly swimming around the lotus stems.

Looking at the beautiful white lotus blooming from a distance, just like the beautiful Alan Mei beside him, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, and turned his mouth into a poem:

Clear water hibiscus fragrant sweet,

Like a flower beauty, she wears purple clothes.

Spring goes to summer like a dream,

Count the lotus leaves.
