Yang Guo had the idea of destroying the scriptures in his heart, but he looked at the scriptures for a long time but it was difficult to start, and finally sighed: " I can see the scriptures, although it is not the original intention of the Shaolin Temple, but in the end it is a great favor owed to the Shaolin Temple, by the grace of the people, but also to reciprocate, if I destroy the four volumes of the scriptures for my own selfishness, not only is there a suspicion of ingratitude, even if I can look down on the world, I will leave a knot that is difficult to open, this heart demon must not be indulged, otherwise one day it will make me lose my mind, although I Yang Guo can not do it in a fair way, but also to do it with a clear conscience!"

After he made a decision, he suddenly seemed to feel that his soul had been sublimated, and there was a feeling that the body and mind were bright after the epiphany mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, but then he smiled at himself, feeling that he was too cranky, and after putting the scriptures properly, he turned off the lights and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yang Guo returned the four volumes of Jueyuan's "Lenga Sutra" as promised, and then went to Xu Hu's place, ready to say goodbye to him, but Xu Hu's residence was empty, and there was a layer of light ash on the wooden table in the room, it was obvious that no one had lived in it for some days, he thought about it, and then went to the place of the dustless Zen master.

When the Wuchen Zen Master saw him coming, he said, "Is it still customary for Master Yang to live in the temple these days?"

Yang Guo said: "Thanks to the Zen master's care, the kid has no worries about food and lodging in your temple, and everything is not troubled, and he almost wants to live for a long time." ”

Wuchen Zen Master smiled slightly: "If Yang Xiao donor really has this heart, the old man can be fulfilled, I heard that since this month, the donor has not come out, dedicated to studying the Buddhist scriptures, such diligence is the disciples in my temple are also rare to compare, the donor is so admiring the Dharma, why not obey the heart, and take refuge in my Buddha?"

Yang Guo's face twitched slightly, and he said a little dryly: "This ...... The Zen master is really joking, the kid has six impure roots, greed, hatred, stupidity, slowness, and suspicion, how can he be qualified to become a monk? ”

The Zen Master said: "If the monks don't speak, how can they laugh with the donor? My Buddha's purpose is to universalize all sentient beings, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, everyone in this world can get it, but the donor's worries are too much, I don't have any disciples under my disciples, as long as the donor is willing, you can practice with me after entering the temple, how about it?"

Yang Guo saw that he was really here, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The kid is used to being free and loose, but he can't stand the rules and precepts in the temple, and besides, the kid has a teacher, how can he be the master without the consent of the master?

Wu Zen Master sighed slightly: "Yang Xiao donor can read through the thirteen Buddhist scriptures in less than a month, this is the appearance of the birth of wisdom roots, and my Buddha is fate, if you can concentrate on practice, it must be a blessing for my Buddhism, but the donor has not yet understood the heart, but it is a pity." ”

Yang Guoxin said: "I have been keeping a low profile since I entered the temple, I didn't expect it to be high-profile, didn't I just casually talk about some Buddhist Zen sayings in my previous life, how did it become a clear proof of reading Buddhist scriptures? That Jueyuan is not a big-mouthed person, and I have not communicated with other monks, it seems that someone in the temple has investigated me and learned my words from Jueyuan's mouth." ”

He couldn't help but worry about whether the secret of his trip would be discovered, but after thinking about it, he felt that since the Zen Master Wuzhi had made this clear, it meant that the temple was only investigating him routinely, not suspicious, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Guo knew that Huigen's words were just an illusion, and his heart was a little empty, so he changed the topic and said: "The boy has been out for many days, in order to avoid the worry of the elders of the sect, but he wants to go back, this time he came, he is to say goodbye to the Zen master, the boy has benefited a lot in your temple, but I want to thank you here!"

The Zen Master Wuzhi stretched out his hand and said: "Yang Xiao don't need to be polite, how much you learn is all in the donor's own creation, and our temple is just to provide some convenience." ”

Yang Guo felt a gentle force blowing, and he couldn't bow down, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Zen Master of No Anger looks ordinary, it doesn't look like he has martial arts, and he doesn't want to hide it deeply." ”

He got up and said, "I want to say goodbye to Brother Xu, but there is no one in his room, so I don't know where he has gone?"

Master Wu Zen said: "He felt that he was guilty, and he begged himself to face the wall to think about it, so as to wash away the dirt in his heart, but at this time he was in the confessional hall in the back mountain. ”

Yang Guo was surprised in his heart, he had never met Xu Hu since the day he returned the wooden plaque of the Zen Master Wuxi, his mind was full of "Jiuyang True Scripture", and he never thought of asking Xu Hu about it, and he didn't know when Xu Hu went to the confessional hall.

Although Xu Hu and him only nodded at each other, after all, they knew each other, and they were embarrassed to ignore it, so they said: "Shame, kid, I didn't know that Brother Xu had this incident, I want to go over to visit Brother Xu, I don't know if it's convenient?"

The Zen Master said: "According to the rules of our temple, when the disciple is punished, it is inconvenient to talk to others, and the donor's will be conveyed by the old man on his behalf. ”

Yang Guo said: "Since this is the case, there is Zen Master Lao, and the kid doesn't dare to disturb the Zen Master Qing Xiu any more, so don't pass it away." ”

The Zen Master said, "Donor, please go, and the old man will not give it away." ”

Yang Guo hurriedly said: "Don't dare." After giving another salute, he withdrew from the room and walked all the way out of the temple.

After going down the mountain, he looked back in the direction of Shaolin Temple, feeling a little as if he was in a dream, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, tightened the package on his body, and strode away.

Yang Guo thought that the road to Zhongnanshan was far away, and if he walked, it was too slow, so he went to Dengfeng City to see if he could buy a horse to travel.

At this time, the land north of Huaishui in the Great Song Dynasty has fallen under the iron hooves of Mongolia, but the Mongolian army is busy dealing with the Song Court in the south, and many occupied places in the north are no time to manage, and this Dengfeng City is relatively speaking.

Yang Guo first had a hearty meal at the wine shop, then asked the people where the market was, and walked forward while admiring the novelties on both sides of the street.

A terrible neighing sound of a horse came to Yang Guo's ears, and he turned his head to see a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter holding a horsewhip and whipping a thin horse.

The skinny horse was so hungry that he pulled a cart full of goods, but it was difficult to move forward even with all his might.

When the hunter saw this, he was angry, and the whip was drawn mercilessly, until the thin horse could not stop screaming, and in a short time his body was covered with bloody whip marks.

Yang Guo couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and grabbed Orion's arm, and said angrily: "Don't you see that this horse is about to run out?

When the hunter saw a young man suddenly appear, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Little brother, this beast is just lazy, if you don't whip it hard, it will never work hard, and my carload of goods will be delivered in a hurry, how can it be delayed here?"

Yang Guo firmly grabbed his arm and said, "How much does your horse cost?"

The hunter couldn't help but be surprised that he didn't break free under his strength, and he didn't dare to ignore Yang Guo when he saw that he didn't look like a country boy, and said, "I am useful for this horse, but I can't sell it." ”

Yang Guo directly took out two ingots of silver from the package and said, "Here are ten taels of silver, if you want, I will buy your horse now." ”

At this time, the silver money is extremely precious, one tael of silver can make the family eat for a month, these ten taels of silver can be worth a year's hard work, the Orion's eyes lit up, and he said busily: "Deal!"

He was afraid that Yang Guo would regret it, so he grabbed the silver and put it in his arms, and then he didn't care about the goods on the car, and directly unsaddled the horse and handed it over to Yang Guo.

Yang Guo got the horse, so he went directly to the west, and the horse seemed to know Yang Guo's kindness and obediently followed him.

In the next few days, Yang Guo took good care of the thin horse, and gradually regained its strength, and then Yang Guo sped up his speed, rode all the way to Xiaoxing and stayed overnight, and only came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain ten days later.

It is inconvenient to ride a horse to climb the mountain, and it is impossible to raise horses in the ancient tomb, so Yang Guo had to take off the reins of the saddle and said to the partner who accompanied him all the way: "Horse, now that you are free, you can go wherever you want, but don't be caught by others, otherwise you will suffer for the rest of your life." ”

The thin horse has been taken care of by Yang Guo these days, and has become much stronger, and he did not leave after being restrained, but kept arching Yang Guo's arm with the head of the horse, which seemed very affectionate.

Yang Guo stroked the mane on the horse's neck with his hand, patted the horse's head again, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, but he still turned around and walked towards the mountain.

The sound of the horse's hooves sounded, Yang Guo turned around to see that the horse was following, and he couldn't help waving his hand again, and said, "Go, go, go, don't follow!" He directly started the light work, and soon flashed into the forest.

The horse neighed, wandered for a while, and then turned away.

Yang Guo saw it from the forest, sighed, and then went to the mountain again, where there were people he cared about.
