Chapter 142: There was nothing in the first place, where did it stir up dust

All the disciples performed a discipleship and said that they had been taught.

Xiao Chen accepted it calmly, and then his expression changed, and a sense of compassion was revealed, and he held the lotus seal in his hand, and his eyes were like candles.

"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust!"

When the disciples heard this, they were all stunned, and even the elder monks such as Jian Thirteen and Dongchen were a little stunned.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Buddha poem is a household name, but it has a different meaning from Xiao Chen's mouth.

Everyone bowed their heads and pondered, and after half a sound, Yanyan, who had a soft face, finally couldn't help but wonder.

"Senior Xiao, Yanyan is puzzled, what is the purpose of your words!"

Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say anything, just pointed to his head.

Seeing this, everyone was even more puzzled, and they all frowned and thought hard.

Only the Emperor Sect Fire Dance and Fenglin seem to have an understanding, but they can't grasp the main point.

Just when Xiao Chen thought that no one knew what he meant, in the middle of the main hall, a children's voice suddenly sounded.

"Grandpa Fairy, I think I know what you mean!"

Everyone present was shocked, and looked at the source of the sound, and saw that it was the doorman standing aside, and suddenly felt a little disdainful.

A disciple said: "Zong Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about, so many senior brothers and sisters can't guess the meaning of their predecessors, you are a little doorman, you really don't know the sky!"

Jian Thirteen also had an angry face, how could he make such a mistake.

Immediately wave your hand and ask your disciples to expel them.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly stopped him, and said with a light smile: "Why should Brother Dao be like this, it's okay to listen to what he has to say!"

When Jian Thirteen heard this, he was helpless, but he glared at Zong Xiu fiercely.

"Boy, pay attention, stop talking nonsense!"

Zong Xiu opened his big bright eyes, but he was not afraid, but looked excited.

Xiao Chen looked at Zong Xiu in front of him with some appreciation, but saw that this son was only twelve years old, his face was immature, and his body was thin, but there was a trace of cunning and perseverance in his eyes.

Holding a green lantern in his hand, a soft light was emitting, and the faint smoke seemed to drown Zong Xiu entirely, and his originally thin body was even more invisible.

It's just that Xiao Chen's heart is bright, what a beautiful jade!

His face was indifferent, and he waved his hand lightly and made a movement to brush away the dust on his body.

Seeing this, Zong Xiu's originally bright eyes were even brighter.

"Grandpa Qiqi Immortal, but the disciple has read a scripture that roughly records the origin of this Buddha's verse!"

When Xiao Chen heard this, he was interested, and he never thought that such a young child would read such Buddhist texts.

"Little guy, it's okay for you to say, that's right, I have a game for you!"

Seeing this, Zong Xiu's immature face showed excitement, and even the hand holding the green lantern trembled faintly.

When he was young, he also knew that the person in front of him definitely had a big background.

Everyone present was shocked, they were different from Zong Xiu, and they knew Xiao Chen's identity very well.

Xiao Chen said that the great creation, that is, this kid can't cultivate the good fate method in three lives and three lives.

Zong Xiu exhaled deeply, and began to slowly relay the immature child's voice.

"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. ”

"This Buddha comes from Lannuo Temple in Xiniu Hezhou, and it is rumored that the fifth-generation patriarch of Lannuo Temple, Hongren, is a Zen master with great power and great wisdom, but as the deadline is approaching, I want to find a successor to inherit his mantle!"

At that time, Lannuo Temple can be said to be full of outstanding disciples, among which Shenxiu is particularly great, even Hongren Zen Master is deeply valued, called it, the first to suspend the round photo, Shenxiu is seated. ”

At this point, Zong Xiu looked at Xiao Chen's expression, and saw that he was not impatient, and he was sure in his heart at the moment, and continued to say: "Just when everyone thought that Shenxiu must be the only successor to inherit the mantle of Hongren Zen Master, Hongren Zen Master made an amazing decision!"

"He wants all his disciples to make a Buddhist poem, and whoever does it well will pass on the mantle to whomever he does!"

Right here, a Shushan disciple couldn't see Zong Xiu's showmanship, and said disdainfully: "We also have people who know this allusion, why do you bother to say more!"

"It's ......"

A sect of disciples began to make noise, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction.

Xiao Chen's face turned cold: "What kind of system it is, no matter what it is, it is respect to let others finish speaking, except for the enemy, of course, and those who are hated by monks!"

The group of disciples finally quieted down, and from beginning to end, Zong Xiu's expression did not change.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen secretly praised.

What a pamper, not surprised!

Zong Xiu was worried about the green lantern in his hand, with a look of memory, and in the misty smoke, he seemed to be in Lanno Temple.

"At that time, Shenxiu wanted to inherit the mantle of Zen Master Hongren and become the future host of Lanno Temple, but he didn't want Zen Master Hongren to see his thoughts!"

So in the middle of the night, three watches, tossing and turning, out of the courtyard wall, abrupt blessing to the soul, pen to write, the body is the Bodhi tree, the heart is the mirror platform. Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. ”

"The next day, some disciples saw it and recognized it as Shenxiu, and they all clapped their hands and said yes, but Zen Master Hongren was silent!"

"At this moment, the fire-headed monk Hui Neng, who was working in the firewood room, rushed over, saw this Buddha, and immediately smiled, saying that this Buddha is not doing well!"

"At the moment, it is written on one side, Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. ”

The disciples were amazed, they all applauded, and Huineng was also very proud, but he never thought that the Hongren Zen Master was furious, and said angrily: A bunch of nonsense. And someone wiped the Buddha directly, and hit Huineng on the head three times before leaving!"

"So there was, in the middle of the night, at the third watch, the mage was in front of the window. Seeing this, Master Hongren was overjoyed and passed on important scriptures and mantles to him, so far Hui Neng is the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism!"

Xiao Chen nodded, and then smiled.

"You're absolutely right, but you still haven't said anything about me, and you've learned anything from my actions!"

Zong Xiu smiled mischievously, put the green lantern in his hand on the ground, climbed to Xiao Chen's knees, and stretched his head.

"Isn't the meaning of Grandpa Immortal that an epiphany is better than a hundred years of penance!"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Okay, Zen Buddhism pays attention to not establishing words, once you have an epiphany, this is exactly what I want to say, epiphany, how important is epiphany!"

"You must not stick to the form, the vision should jump out, I do not say Tibet, nor the Dharma Gate, but the Buddha, this is to tell you, the way of the side door can also be preached, when you can't see the road at this time, you might as well take a look elsewhere, different roads, the end is the same, what if you go on a journey!"

Zong Xiu's face was pious, kneeling as if worshipping the Buddha.

"Grandpa Fairy, you can give me a creation!"

Huo Wu and Feng Lin looked at each other and smiled, they both guessed something, and promised me to have one more junior brother.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen just smiled.

"Zong Xiu, you are just taking a trick, you are not a great wisdom, not weak to comment on the Buddha of Shenxiu and Huineng!"

Zong Xiu's face was bitter, and he complained: "Grandpa Immortal is not trustworthy, Zong Xiu is gone!"

After speaking, he wanted to get up, but a pair of pure eyes still stayed on Xiao Chen's face.

The entire Shushan Sword Hall was suddenly silent, only the green smoke curled, the incense bursts, and the younger brothers were all sitting upright, looking incredulous.

What a bold Zongxiu!

Xiao Chen was not angry, he just stretched out a finger and carved it in the air.

In an instant, the Buddha of Shenxiu and the Buddha of Huineng flashed yellow light in the air, and the words of Douda shocked everyone present.

Thousands of years later, these two Buddhist poems still have a wonderful charm.

"Zong Xiu, as long as you are satisfied with your comments, this seat will give you two creations!"

Xiao Chen held up two fingers, thinking secretly in his heart.

Zong Xiu, Zong Xiu, what kind of accident do you have for me!

When Zong Xiu heard this, he didn't have the surprise he imagined, but he pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"In my opinion, I think Shenxiu's Buddha is more pragmatic, how can life be without worries? Even the supreme saint has times when he is troubled, so he should always wipe it away and don't stir up dust. ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he praised it.

"Okay, this seat is also very happy with God, if Huineng can really be detached, he will not be happy because of Master Hongren's brain three times at that time, it can be seen that there is a utilitarian heart in his heart!"

"My monk, or see the surname Mingxin, think is to think, don't want to do not want, Buddhism said that all laws are empty, the concept of Zen Buddhism is to play the word empty to the limit, but the empty door is not empty, seeking empty and not empty, is why I say, people in the red dust, for the mortal, for the immortal is not empty in the heart!"

"Therefore, sentient beings have seven emotions and six desires, and monks have greed. The three poisons of anger and ignorance, what we do, we still need to learn Shenxiu, which is the way of cultivation, the emptiness of Zen Buddhism, not the way of my Tao!"

The disciples present were all shocked, as if they had been empowered.

They said that they had read this Buddha, but they had never explained it in such detail as Xiao Chen, and they only knew a little about Zen Buddhism, and they knew infinitely about emptiness or non-emptiness.

At this time, some disciples were puzzled.

"As Senior Xiao said, but the realm of Shenxiu is higher, so why does Master Hongren pass on the mantle and wisdom?"

Xiao Chen laughed and said: "Zen is empty, Shenxiu is more empty than Hui Neng, only Hui Neng is emptiest, Buddhism is the most important way to escape Zen, and the side door is the best, whether it is in face or in the real sense, only Hui Neng is more suitable for Zen Buddhism!"

Xiao Chen stopped saying and looked at Zong Xiu.

"I have two creations for you, but I don't know if you can bear it!"

Zong Xiu was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Where is the creation in front, I can't stand the words!"

Xiao Chen chuckled, flipped his hand, and a shining lotus seed fell.

But seeing this lotus seed, the whole body is jade-colored, flawless like beautiful jade, bright and pure like a cold moon, flashing with soft light, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

Everyone in the Human Emperor Sect was shocked, Jade Lotus Seed!

Xiao Chen's jade lotus has a small grain in ten years, and it takes a hundred years to give birth to a natal lotus bead.

Although the jade lotus seed in the past ten years is not as good as a hundred years, it is also extremely rare, and it is not much better than the golden ginseng fruit in the human world, or even better.

But he never thought that Xiao Chen would take it out!

It can be seen how much importance is attached to Zong Xiu.
