The mountain wall behind the empty Buddha Temple.

At this time, it is still the middle of the night, and the back mountain is a little cool because of the terrain.

The four people who are sitting on the mountain wall are all respected predecessors of today's Jianghu martial arts.

Hong Xin suddenly opened his eyes, walked to the edge of the stone platform with a frown, and looked around at the hollow scene in the mountain.

"Senior brother, you have something on your mind. Hong Wu's voice came, but he said plainly, and it seemed extremely loud in this lonely mountain.

Hong Ming and Xiao Lang heard Hong Wu talking, and slowly opened their eyes.

I only heard Hong Xin sigh lightly and said: "More than 20 years of master-apprentice friendship, once white hair and black hair, the world is bitter, and that's it." ”

"Brother, be safe. Hong Wu can see it: "There is cause and effect in the world, and there must be reincarnation." This generation of Rakshasa hell, when you are enlightened, after reincarnation, you are dedicated to goodness, and you masters and apprentices should have a day of re-sighting. ”

After a period of silence, Hong Xin said again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day we meet." ”

Xiao Lang has already heard about Puhua, according to the three elders of Buddhism, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and his hatred with the court is beyond the control of others.

Xiao Lang also knows that Hong Xin is Puhua's direct master, watching him grow up, and training him to be the youngest head abbot, it can be said that the relationship between the two is already as close as father and son.

After Puhua secretly practiced the Great Futu Sutra that day, he felt very painful and went up the mountain to find Hong Xin, hoping that Hong Xin could help him get rid of the sea of suffering. Hong Xin knew that his hatred was already deep when he was a child, and with the fact that Puhua practiced the Great Futu Sutra again, even if he was trapped in the mountains in the end, he would only be eroded by the mental method of the Great Futu Sutra and die. Rather than this, it is better to go with the flow, and it also sounded a wake-up call for the Xiao dynasty.

The three elders worked hard, and Xiao Lang felt the same way.

Xiao Lang comforted: "Master Hongxin is merciful and compassionate, and Xiao Lang is deeply touched. However, there are people who get together, and there are also life and death separations, and I hope that the master will be relaxed. ”

Hong Xin said calmly: "I have been worshipping Buddha with my master since I was a child, and my heart is already like a mirror. What happened today is just like when Hui'an Patriarch was in Zhikong, a disciple of Zhikong, the patriarch cut off a finger from himself, and the finger was connected to the heart, and the great pain was unbearable, and then he retreated for three years, only then did he realize the fate of this life, and he was enlightened. ”

Xiao Lang said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"At that time, in the year of Hui'an's patriarch, he decided to go down the mountain and become an ascetic monk to show his Buddha's heart. As we passed through a village, a newborn child was crying. The patriarch went to visit, and when the child saw the patriarch, he burst into laughter. The people around him felt that it was magical, and the patriarch was also delighted, and when his parents saw that the patriarch was a monk, they were relieved to let the patriarch get close to the child.

The patriarch picked up the child, but the child was not like a newborn baby, and he was very close to the patriarch. The patriarch was overjoyed and accidentally found that on the child's forehead, there was a looming Sanskrit word '10,000'.

What a coincidence. The grandfather and the others took a closer look and begged his parents to take the child with him.

The parents of this family happened to have an eldest son, and when they saw that there was such a Buddha fate today, they immediately agreed.

Just worried about the need for human milk.

But a miracle happened again, the baby was not interested in human milk, and the grandfather took out the accompanying gourd to feed him the spring water, and actually drank it.

Since then, there has been a neatly dressed ascetic in the world, often holding a baby in his arms.

Five years later, when the patriarch went up the mountain again, the child was already able to run and jump, and he had no relationship with the senior brothers in the door.

Patriarch Hui'an then gave him the Dharma name Zhikong.

The intention is to be empty and empty, and to the Buddha wholeheartedly. Intensive study for a lifetime, create the other side.

The patriarch believed that Zhikong had this ability.

Ten years later, when Zhikong was fifteen years old, he was already able to recite many scriptures in the door, and the heart sutra passed on to him by the patriarch could also be used in full. bar

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and when Zhikong was eighteen years old, the patriarch asked him to walk down the mountain to visit his family. Zhikong was at his home, saw his drunken brother, and immediately comforted him with Buddha's words and was driven out.

Zhikong wanted to let him restrain his mind, so he decided to spend the night in the open air outside the village, and then visit his parents the next day.

But who knows, when we meet on the second day, it will be an eternal separation between heaven and man.

Zhikong was in tears for his parents, but his brother returned from outside the village, still one person and one wine, and there were still traces of his parents' blood on his clothes.

I only heard his brother say beside him: "You are a Buddha, great compassion, and the six roots are pure." I am a human being, greedy for wine and pleasure, and human nature. But these two want me to learn from you. I've been like this since I was a child, and how ridiculous is that you let go!"

Zhikong sighed, just overdone.

The elder brother kicked them away, poured liquor on his parents, and said, "Ascend to Bliss and see the Buddhas!"

Zhikong immediately felt compassion in his heart, gave birth to his parents, and broke his flesh and heart. He immediately got up and pushed his brother to the ground, and his indignation was revealed. When the neighbors saw it, they all gathered around him, and they counted down his brother.

His brother said with a smile: "I killed my parents, you don't take revenge, you have a Buddha fate!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhikong was furious, slapped his love with one palm, and his brother fell to the ground in response, dying.

Zhikong came back to his senses, watched his family be ruined, and his brother's life was dyed in his palm, and he was defeated for a while and fled back to the mountain.

The patriarch asked the reason for his return, Zhikong told the truth, the patriarch was shocked, this son had a murderous heart, a butcher's knife, and his forehead, the Buddha seal was eliminated, which was broken Zen.

As the saying goes, the Buddha crosses the people, and how can anyone destroy the Buddha. Zhikong is disheartened, and has no intention of worshiping Buddha and doing good.

Since then, Zhikong has left Buddhism, and the patriarch has never been retained.

Before the patriarch died, his disciples asked him: "Senior Zhikong has a wisdom root, why don't you keep it?"

The patriarch replied, "There are thousands of things in the world, and the greatest kindness lies in the parents. Because of their reincarnation, Zhikong's parents already have a cage in their hearts, and they are insulated from the Buddha in this life. If there is an afterlife, if one's mind turns to the Buddha again, one can also attain the Great Way. ”

When Hong Xin said this, Xiao Lang suddenly became enlightened: "Master Hong Xin can have this realization, which is also a great blessing for practice. ”

Hong Xin sat back quietly and did not speak again.

Tranquility has returned to the mountains.

After Xiao Lang closed his eyes and continued to realize Zen, he suddenly heard Hong Wu and Hong Ming's two voices of 'Amitabha'.

After waking up, Xiao Lang saw that Hong Xin's slightly closed eyes and the roots of his ears on both sides were bleeding.

"Master!" Xiao Lang was shocked, this Hong Xin was afraid that he was cutting off his meridians and was going to kill himself.

Xiao Lang wanted to go to the rescue, but he only heard Hong Wu say lightly: "Senior brother passed away, I hope to enter reincarnation as soon as possible, and then continue the fate of master and apprentice." ”

"Amitabha. Hong Ming agreed.

Xiao Lang looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. If you want to come to the master-apprentice relationship in the rivers and lakes, it's nothing more than that.

In the dark, there is reincarnation.

The folk call this a myth, but a Buddhist master like Hong Xin is convinced. He himself is also a mortal fetus in the flesh, and how to give up emotions, there is really no meaning in the Buddhist scriptures.

"Amitabha. Xiao Lang also followed the chanting of the other two elders for Hong Xin.
