After entering the inn, it suddenly became crowded, eighteen Khitan warriors were enough to make trouble, and there were a large number of serious monks. Fortunately, the wolf couldn't get in, only the white wolf followed Zong Xin and didn't stay away.

The white wolf's cultivation is far better than that of ordinary wolves, and the white wolf can get into the door that ordinary people can enter as long as they twist their bodies slightly.

Xiao Er served tea, and Elder Mu Xiang slowly explained the matter. A few months ago, there were often disciples missing on Wutai Mountain, originally thought that the little monk could not stand the precepts in the temple and fled down the mountain, but later someone often found the bones of dead people, and then they knew that something was wrong.

The number of missing disciples continued to increase, and the twenty-three temples on Wutai Mountain united to prepare for a detailed investigation of the matter. At the same time, it was stipulated that the disciples in the temple could not travel alone even during the day, and at night they were not even allowed to leave the door of the house for half a step.

In this way, some disciples encountered their companions being taken away by monsters, most of which happened at night, so they didn't see the appearance of the monsters clearly, and could only see two red eyes and a long tail.

The twenty-three temples selected the ones with the highest martial arts and Buddhism to unite to eliminate demons. As a result, only Elder Mu Xiang came back alive that night, covered with injuries, and the other abbots were eaten by monsters, and even the abbot of Xiantong Temple could not escape.

In fact, Elder Mu Xiang didn't see what kind of monster it was, because before the monster appeared, a poisonous mist was spewed, and several high-ranking monks fought with the monster in the poisonous fog and lost contact with each other. After Elder Mu Xiang was hit a few times by his long tail, he didn't have time to see the true face of the monster when he pulled his legs.

However, Elder Mu Xiang was sure that it was a giant python with a thick bowl mouth. But at this time, several of the highest masters of martial arts and Buddhism have become blood food in the mouth of the monster, and in desperation, Elder Mu Xiang took all his disciples down the mountain to seek refuge and handed over Wutai Mountain to the monster. I hope that Yin Shangshu, the Xinzhou Mansion, can make the imperial court come forward to settle the matter.

Zong Xin nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to the poor monk to deal with, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Mu Xiang said: "Sect Xin's nephew, that demon snake is very high, don't be careless." ”

"It's okay, a little snake, the poor monk will go up the mountain tomorrow and slaughter it and stew it, and come to eat some when the time comes. Zong Xin said with a smile.

"This matter is not appropriate...... Zhao Kuangyin said: "I can't stew with wine~ It's better to roast snake meat." Drinking meat while roasting around the fire is a pleasure. ”

"Uncle Zhao, I've been eating barbecue for the past few days, but I want to eat some stew. "Tianya is a child after all, and he wants to eat something nutritious and stewed.

The demon said: "Don't quarrel, let's talk about serious things." Such a big snake, half pure, half roasted meat. ”

Everyone nodded, this is a good solution. Although I want to drink wine while grilling meat, the stewed snake soup tastes good, and it would be better if it was winter, so I warmed up with a little wine.

This is acceptable to everyone, and you can run on both sides and change your taste.

"Sect Belief Master's nephew......" Elder Mu Xiang said, "Are you really sure that you can capture this demon?"

"Do you still want to catch it alive? I came all the way to kill the demon for you, and I am not allowed to stew it?" Zong Xin was very curious, what hobby does this old monk have?

"Eh~ just don't say it. ”

Elder Mu Xiang didn't know what to say, everyone was not talking about the same thing. I'm still wondering if I can make it, and they're already planning how to eat it. It's a disciple of Buddhism, look at the appearance of this group of people...... More than a dozen Dharma protectors have already begun to order meat and drink.

"Half stewed, half roasted?" Tianya recalled this sentence, and suddenly had an epiphany: "The disciple has figured it out~ That problem can be solved." ”

Zong Xin said excitedly: "The demon takes out the chess pieces and sees how this kid solves them." ”

"I've tried for four days and I haven't figured it out, do you really understand?" The demon took out a small box from his bag, which contained 23 white pieces, one of which was painted black with ink.

"What does this mean?" Elder Mu Xiang was puzzled and immediately asked.

Zong Xin said: "This is a question given by the poor monk to his apprentice, so that this disciple can distinguish black and white right from wrong with wisdom. Paint all 23 pieces of Go with one side black and one side white, 10 of which are black and 13 white. Have the apprentice blindfold and divide the 23 pieces into two piles on the left and right, so that the number of black pieces on both sides is the same. ”

The demon poured 23 pieces on the tea table and counted them, so that 10 of them were black face up and the other 13 were white side up. Everyone thought about it for four days, but they couldn't solve this problem, and even the Khitan warrior came over with a wine jar to see how he divided it.

Tianya immediately blindfolded his eyes with a cloth, divided the chess pieces into two piles at will, and then counted the number of chess pieces, and the left side was divided into 10 chess pieces and 3 black, and the right side was divided into 13 chess pieces and 7 black.

"Wrong, I'll just say you can't figure it out. The demon said excitedly: "If you want to rely on luck, it is difficult to succeed at one time." ”

Tianya shook his head and said: "I haven't finished dividing it yet, Tianya flipped all the chess pieces on the left, there were originally 3 black and 7 white, but after all of them were flipped, they became 3 spirits and 7 black." The number of black pieces is the same as on the right. ”

"Master, am I right?"

Zong Xin said: "Yes, that's it. No matter how many blacks there are on the left and right, if you flip all 10 on the left, the number of blacks will be exactly the same. Tianya, do you know what Master told you?"

"The disciple knows. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this question is not difficult, as long as you figure it out, it is very simple. There are only two things to do, divided into two piles, one of which is 10 and one is 13. Just flip all 10 of them once.

"I see...... Do you teach your disciple that these things are useful?" the demon understood how to solve this question, but still couldn't see the meaning.

Elder Mu Xiang clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha Buddha~ Lao Gao thought you were an imposter master just now, but now it seems that you are indeed a high-ranking monk, and Lao Gao has not solved this question." It is very useful to teach disciples, there is nothing in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, the so-called black and white right and wrong, all start from the hearts of people, and finally people. Even if you can't see black and white with your eyes, you can tell right from wrong in your heart. The depth of the Zen machine is greatly admired by the old man. It can not only exercise the mind of the disciples, but also cultivate the comprehension of the disciples. ”

Zong Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin, and then asked, "Brother Yuen Long, what have you realized?"

"Ping, the world originally only needed the word 'ping'. Left text and right martial arts, black chess for treachery, white chess for loyalty. Left and right are opposed, the government and the opposition have nothing to do, black and white are opposed, and the world is peaceful. It depends on the person in power who only needs to flip black and white, and pinch left and right, and he can rise to the level of the four seas. ”

Zong Xin nodded, and then asked, "Tianya, what can you realize?"

"The general trend of the world is in my hands, turning my hands into clouds, covering my hands for rain, Master taught me to be a chess flipper, not a chess piece. ”

"Yes, you all have a high level of understanding. It's a pity~ Brother Yuen Long, you didn't solve this problem, it's useless to just understand the truth. Zong Xin pouted and said, "Anyway, I will never accept you as a disciple." ”

"Lao Tzu is not rare, what is the good ...... to be a monk?"

Zhao Kuangyin originally had something to say, but he didn't say it again. In fact, there is nothing bad about being a monk, seeing that Zongxin can eat meat, drink, and pick flowers, the most hateful thing is that he can still be picked by flowers...... Thinking about it this way, in fact, it is not bad to be a monk, and you can also have a good reputation.

"Zongxin's nephew is really unexpected, the old man is not practicing enough, he can only admire. ”

"Amitabha, the master has won the award~" Zong Xin said: "I heard that Xinzhou mutton is good, the disciple immediately asked the shopkeeper to slaughter a few sheep to honor the master, and the end of the world will go quickly." ”

"Hmm!"

Tianya immediately rushed forward to ask the shopkeeper to slaughter three sheep, one roasted whole sheep, one in the soup pot, and one to make some Xinzhou specialties, don't worry about spending money, as long as it's delicious.

Elder Mu Xiang's face was pale, should he listen or not at this time, others are really eminent monks, but ......

"Amitabha, the old man has not practiced enough, go back to the room immediately to recite the scriptures, and the nephew of the sect believer will eat slowly. Elder Mu Xiang immediately turned around and went back to his room, although he couldn't see the killing, he knew in his heart that this Zongxin Master was by no means an ordinary monk, and there must be a reason why he did this. It's a pity that I don't cultivate enough and can't comprehend it.

Everyone in this group knows that Zongxin just wants to eat mutton greedily, and there is no other reason.

The demon looked at it with a look of adoration, his left hand on Zong Xin's shoulder, his chin on the back of his hand, and the fingers of his right hand went back and forth on Zong Xin's face. This question is so subtle, it can indeed exercise the understanding of Tianya, and it can also make people realize many truths from it. Although the three people have realized different truths, this kind of thing is all the opinions of the benevolent and the wise, and there is no conclusion.

"The master is so good~ With the wisdom of the master, you don't need martial arts at all to be under one person, above ten thousand people, not to mention that the master has outstanding martial arts, and it is fortunate to be able to marry you as a wife and slave for three lives. ”

Zong Xin chuckled and said, "Tianya, you are still young now, and it is not easy to spend four days solving this problem. However, in the future, you must be more attentive, and do not doubt that there is no solution to the problem for the teacher. If you don't have any doubts, you should be able to solve this problem faster. ”

"The disciple knows his mistake. ”

"Let's eat first. Zong Xin suddenly shouted: "Shopkeeper, it doesn't matter if the mutton doesn't come, why don't you even give wine? Do you want the poor monk to smash your broken restaurant?"

The demon said: "You look very handsome when you lose your temper." ”

Everyone is used to it these days, and it is only as if the demon does not exist. The demon didn't mind, she only had Zong Xin in her eyes, no matter what Zong Xin's attitude was. The demon knows very well that the woman chases the male compartment veil, and Zong Xin will one day not be able to hold it, as long as he is slightly moved, he will not be able to turn back.

The shopkeeper immediately served wine and food, and it didn't take long to bring out the mutton soup pot, add coriander, and the original soup tasted. Who said that the mutton soup pot does not serve wine? They all sweated profusely, because they were Khitan warriors, they had not eaten mutton for a long time, and the Central Plains method was fine, and the taste was extremely delicious.

After eating for a while, the demon took Tianya back to the room to sleep, after all, children and women have little appetite. The more this group of people looked, the more they didn't look like monks, they were simply a group of bandits having a dinner.
