Lin Yan was full of energy at this time, clenched his fists, and his eyes radiated a fine light, "Fourth realm...... It's so desirable!"

There was a mysterious smile on the corner of the empty man's mouth, but his heart was already a little empty, and he secretly thought, could this kid really aim for the fourth realm, right? In this case, would it be a little too ambitious? If it affected his cultivation, it would be a little troublesome......

No, we have to think of a way to let him gradually get on the right track and cultivate step by step!

Lin Yan was fantasizing, and the empty path man coughed dryly, "That, do you want to use your emotions to practice to the fourth realm?"

Lin Yan glanced at the empty man, "Is there any problem?"

The empty man laughed dryly, "It's okay...... It's okay......"

The Sky Dao Man's brain was spinning rapidly, so he couldn't think of a good way to let this kid not think about the fourth realm first. If you say it clearly, what you pretended to be about X just now, nine times out of ten, you will aim for the fourth realm, it will be too much of a slap in the face!

Just when the people of the empty path were anxious, Lin Yan suddenly asked, "Master, who are those people you just mentioned, who are Huineng? Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Although the empty Dao people were very anxious in their hearts, there was still that kind of calm smile on his face!

This is the performance of old age and experience, no matter how the heart changes, it will not appear on the face, such a person can be regarded as old and refined.

"Huineng, the patriarch of Zen Buddhism, the sixth ancestor. Together with Confucius and Lao Tzu, they are called the three most holy beings. ”

The empty man was casually perfunctory, still thinking about how to persuade Lin Yan in his heart.

"So powerful? It can be compared to Confucius and Lao Tzu, why haven't I heard of this Master Huineng before? Hmm, six ancestors, six ancestors Huineng ......"

Hey?

The empty path man suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and just told him the story of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, and by the way, told him how difficult it would be to break through to the fourth realm!

The Kongdao man smiled, "Do you want to hear Huineng's story?"

Lin Yan glanced at the Kongdao man vigilantly, he knew the Kongdao people too well, when the Kongdao man showed this smile, it must have been his plan that succeeded.

But...... At present, what are the plans of the empty road people?

Forget it, since you have a story to listen to, "Okay." ”

The empty man sat down cross-legged and beckoned Lin Yan, "Come on, come on, sit down, the story is very long, let me tell you slowly." ”

"Good. Lin Yan sat down cross-legged, just like when they met for the first time, sitting on the ground and talking.

Huineng's common surname is Lu, and his ancestral home is Fanyang, Hebei. His father died at the age of three, his family was poor, and he had no money to study. Later, he moved to the foothills of Longshan Mountain and made a living selling firewood.

When Lin Yan heard about Master Huineng's experience when he was a child, he found that his experience seemed to be similar to his, but he was a little luckier than Huineng, and he stayed with his father for a while.

Lin Yan silently encouraged himself in his heart, what others can do, I, Lin Yan, can do the same!

The empty Taoist man then preached, when Huineng was a teenager, he listened to the "Diamond Sutra" and had a feeling, so he came to Dongshan Temple and met the five ancestors at that time, Hongren.

When Hongren first saw Huineng, he asked, "Where are you from?"

Huineng said: "From Lingnan." ”

Hiroshi asked, "What do you want to do here?"

Huineng said: "Participate in the Buddha and meditate." ”

Hongren asked: "You are a fang, and you are a Lingnan person, how can you become a Buddha and become a saint?"

At that time, the word fang was a great insult to the southern barbarians.

Huineng said: "Although there is a distinction between the north and the south, how can the difference between the north and the south come from the Buddha nature?

At that time, Hongren heard Huineng's remarks, and knew that he had a good understanding and was very human, and he wanted to continue to talk to him for a few words, but just about to speak, he looked around and found that his disciples were still around him. Although he lives in a high position, he is well aware of the dark side of his temple.

These dark sides are inevitable, and wherever there is light, there will be darkness!

Hongnin knew that if he showed some appreciation for Huineng a little, then Huineng would definitely be jealous and ostracized by other saints in the future. Hongren waved his hand, "It's just a fang, let's go to the house." ”

Chung Mi is a very painful errand, and Huineng is thin and small due to the experience of being poor since he was a child, and his weight is not enough. But he had his way, and in order to step on it, he tied a stone to his waist.

In this way, Huineng worked day and night to diligently scoop the rice for eight months.

The Kongdao man was talking with relish, and Lin Yan interjected, "Eh, then he didn't learn the Dharma during his time in Dongshan Temple, isn't it a waste of time?"

The empty man smiled, "Do you know that there is a kind of person in this world, when they are born, they will directly comprehend a kind of mental method, and this kind of mental method is called the companion mental method. ”

"Companion Mind Method?" Lin Yan heard this statement for the first time, "Then, Sixth Ancestor Huineng, is the person who has the Companion Mind Method?"

That's right, according to legend, his companion mind is the Tao Te Ching. ”

"Oh. What are the benefits of the Companion Mind Method?"

"Are you stupid, the things you have carried since you were born, the compatibility with your body will easily reach a perfect level, and the speed of cultivation will also be a thousand miles a day. ”

"So good...... Then I, do I have any accompanying mental methods?" Lin Yan held his head in both hands, his eyes full of small stars.

The empty path man had a black line on his face, "You kid, you are insatiable! You already have two mouth-watering superb mental methods, and you still want to have your own companion mental methods?" After speaking, the empty path man bent his fingers and knocked Lin Yan's head.

"Oops. Lin Yan covered his head.

"I don't listen to the story yet. ”

"Listen to ......"

These eight months of Chungmi's life are the eight months that laid the foundation of Huineng. Outsiders thought he was just a fang, and no one knew that Hui Neng could quietly immerse himself in the Diamond Sutra every day during these eight months, except for Hongnin.

This peaceful day was broken by a summoning of the five ancestors of the day.

On this day, Hongren gathered all the monks in the monastery together and told everyone: "Life and death are big, impermanence is fate, and I now know my age, and it is difficult for me to be the abbot of this temple." Naturally, choose a person to receive the Dharma to ensure that the ancestor's lineage will not be interrupted. Buddhism is incredible, but it is true, and you should never think that memorizing a few words of French is perfunctory. If anyone realizes the Buddha's intentions, I will pass on the Dharma robe to him and make him the sixth ancestor of the present generation!"
