"When I found him, he must have been struggling a little." Yichen said softly, "Maybe it was because of Mr. Thirteen, or because of his situation at that time, or maybe because he wanted to return to Lingshan Temple. .
He lost to Lao Na, but there was no sign of defeat or resentment along the way. "
"The more I listen, the more confused I become." Huitong looked at Yichen, "What do you want to explain by saying this?"
Yichen was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Old monk, it's better than Yiming."
Huitong couldn't calm down anymore.
"Facts have proved that in terms of talent, I am indeed inferior to Yiming." Yichen continued, "The method of regenerating a severed limb is unprecedented."
"Buddha, what you should be cultivating is your heart." Huitong said softly, "You are the master and uncle who has the most profound Buddhist teachings in the minds of my disciples."
Yichen smiled and said: "Do you rely on Buddhism or your martial arts to travel around the world?"
"This is different." Huitong shook his head.
Yichen smiled mockingly and said, "I'm not as good as you."
Huitong was silent and stared at Yichen, "Are you also involved in this matter?"
Yichen said: "Siding by and watching, does that count as participation?"
Huitong's heart sank slightly.
Standing by and watching represents an attitude.
"Disciple still doesn't understand." Huitong said in a dull voice, "Even if you are jealous of Master Yiming's uncle, you won't kill him, right? Can't you capture him and imprison him in the cave facing the wall?"
Yichen said softly: "None of the monks from Lingshan Temple went to Chang'an City."
Huitong was startled and then realized, "Is this the attitude of the entire Lingshan Temple to just sit back and watch?"
"This is the attitude of the entire Buddhist sect." Yichen looked at Huitong, "Nowadays, if anything involves Mr. Thirteen, it may be a major event that affects the world."
Huitong asked: "Who has been to Lingshan Temple?"
This is the key.
"You are very smart." Yichen's eyes flashed with approval, "But this question is not yours to ask."
Huitong fully understood and whispered: "At this time, standing aside and watching really represents the attitude of Lingshan Temple."
"Lingshan Temple is a temple and belongs to Buddhism." Yichen sighed lightly, "Buddha is in the west and will soon return to the east."
"Before, I told my uncle about my experience in Florida." Huitong said coldly, "The so-called Buddhas in the West are just a group of fake Buddhas.
Lingshan Temple is also a holy place for Buddhism, so why should we obey their orders? "
Yichen said: "The world is so wonderful. At first, they were expelled to the western desert by the dean and established the Buddha State. At that time, probably no one could have imagined that the western desert would become a place of worship for Buddhist disciples.
Before you went to Florida, weren't you full of expectations for it? "
"Disciples have already seen their ugliness." Huitong said calmly.
"I haven't seen the temples in the Central Plains yet." Yichen said softly, "The Buddhist sect over there has become the authentic sect; the temples in the Central Plains are just branches. Now that the authentic sect of Buddhism has issued a decree, who dares to disobey the branch?"
Huitong's brows furrowed even more tightly, "As far as my disciples know, our Lingshan Temple's heritage is quite profound."
Yichen looked at Huitong and asked meaningfully: "Why don't you think more about the heritage of our Lingshan Temple? When they were young, did they all go to Buddha to worship like you?"
Huitong's expression changed.
Yichen smiled.
Huitong stared at Yichen in surprise, "Uncle Master, you have traveled all over the world for many years..."
"Yes, I have also been to Florida." Yichen nodded slightly.
Huitong couldn't calm down anymore.
"You..." He looked at Yichen and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yichen closed his eyes, "It was as if there were two Yichens in Lao Na's mind. One Yichen understood everything clearly, but he could only watch and observe quietly. ; The other one, Yichen, has seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and also has a Buddha heart that wants to worship the West."
"The fact that you can tell this to your disciples already means that you know what is right and what is wrong." Huitong said in a deep voice.
Yichen opened his eyes, smiled and said, "I'm telling you this because you already know enough, and at the same time, your identity is very special."
Huitong was silent. He knew that 'the identity is very special' refers to his relationship with Chu Xiu.
"You are awake, but you deliberately made the wrong decision." Huitong sighed, feeling very complicated.
Yichen smiled and said: "Being awake only represents cognition, not behavior. The Confucian sage once said that when a gentleman acts, he will judge his deeds regardless of his heart.
The thieves in this world probably know that stealing is wrong, but they still steal it. "
"The way you look now is very unlike the Master Yichen's uncle that I once knew." Huitong said in a deep voice.
The smile on Yichen's face remained, "Maybe, I am no longer me."
Huitong was startled, stared at Yichen with his eyes, and said slowly: "Can the spirit of the disciple be allowed to enter the ancestral orifice of the master's uncle?"
Yichen shook his head, "Don't think too much, there is only my spirit in my ancestral orifice."
Huitong frowned and said nothing.
"Don't care what I think." Yichen said with a smile, "What you should be thinking about is how to explain to Mr. Thirteen and how to choose between Lingshan Temple and him."
"If you have this attitude, the disciple no longer needs to choose." Huitong looked at Yichen, "Actually, the disciple's heart has made a choice long ago."
"Oh?" Yichen's expression remained normal.
Huitong said softly: "Until this moment, the disciple truly understood why Brother Chu deliberately passed the news to the disciple and Gu Chensha."
"Why?" Yichen asked.
"Because Master Yiming's uncle is dead." Huitong said solemnly, "Because what you did is wrong."
"It's good that you can distinguish right from wrong." Yichen said softly, "At least it proves that you are still young and you still stick to your original intention."
"You can do it too, but you chose to stand by and watch." Huitong shook his head, "This disciple understands a little, but there is a lot of confusion in his heart.
There are no answers to these puzzles in Lingshan Temple. "
"You want to leave?" Yichen was surprised.
A confused look flashed in Huitong's eyes, "The disciple seems to be not only leaving, but the disciple is also doubtful about the disciple's identity."
Yichen stared at Huitong and said slowly: "Then go travel around the world. All living beings in the world should be able to give you answers."
"good."
Huitong nodded, then turned and walked out of the Zen room.
Yichen was in a daze as he listened to the sound of the door closing.
"Devil means indulgence; Buddha means restraint..." Yichen whispered.
When Huitong walked out of the Zen room, he heard the voice of Master Yichen's uncle, and his eyes flashed with confusion again.
He understands this statement.
There are many precepts in Buddhism. This is restraint and discipline.
But at this moment, he thought of the flood that burst the embankment.
It seems that when it comes to water control, it is better to block it than to remove it.
Huitong raised his head.
on the sky.
A billowing white cloud is slowly drifting over.
"What was supposed to come has finally come."
