During the Tang Dynasty, the Fifth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism ordered his disciples to write verses, and based on the quality of the verses, he would appoint successors.
The eldest disciple, Shenxiu, was the first to write a verse. What he wrote is:
The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Wipe it frequently to avoid dust.
This verse is not bad. In Buddhist terminology, the Bodhi tree is the place where Buddha attained enlightenment, and the Mirror Stand is spotless. Compare your body to Bodhi and your mind to a bright mirror. You should always pay attention to it to prevent it from being contaminated.
This verse has a very high intention and is awe-inspiring.
The Fifth Patriarch showed Shenxiu's verses to his disciples. Everyone respected him and believed that Shenxiu would be the future Sixth Patriarch.
When Ye Wumian first read it, I also thought it was good.
But when I saw what Hui Neng wrote, I was truly impressed:
No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror. There is nothing there, so where is the dust?
There is no need to analyze the merits of this verse. After all, Huineng relied on it to defeat Shenxiu, overtake in corners, and inherit the mantle of the Fifth Patriarch.
But reading it well does not mean that you can resonate with Huineng or understand Huineng's realm.
At least for so many years, Ye Wumian has not been able to understand how to achieve "originally nothing".
too difficult. You can read and understand, but how to do it?
For a moment, Ye Wumian had a little touch of the enlightenment he just had, and had a dragonfly-like understanding.
However, he only touched upon it a little bit before he was pulled back by the doubts that struck his mind, and he fell into endless confusion and hesitation again.
"The opportunity has not come yet, the opportunity has not come yet."
Ye Wumian shook his head, stopped forcing, and stood up from the ground.
He smiled at Chu Yan and gave her a grateful look. Chu Yan responded to him with a more gentle smile.
He hugged Gu Baiquan again and said sincerely, "I'm Luo Jing and Luo Zizai. I would like to thank you, senior, for your generous action."
Although Gu Baiquan talked a little more, he was able to rebuke Di Kangnian and the two of them without knowing him, and stepped forward in a critical moment to help him heal his injuries with Nanyue's fire god energy. This shows that he is a chivalrous person. Heartfelt people.
Gu Baiquan smiled and said: "No need to thank you. You will definitely have a loss of appetite in the next few days, so you must eat less. Rinse your mouth with water every day to remove the dirt remaining in the esophagus."
Thinking back to that disgusting snake, Ye Wumian couldn't help feeling nauseated again.
But after all, his enlightenment just now helped him somewhat, so he quickly stopped it.
He diverted his attention away from thinking about this disgusting thing.
After this fight, the atmosphere of eating in the restaurant naturally disappeared, and the residents dispersed one after another. A few young men quietly brought brooms, mops, and rags to clean the little snakes. Flesh and blood, tidying up broken tables and chairs.
Yi Cheng, who looked gloomy, came over and said that he would send Ye Wumiannui, who was leading the trouble, to the government.
Before Ye Wumian could say anything, Gu Baiquan shook his head at him, indicating that he would be the one to take care of everything.
Gu Baiquan took out a sign from his waist, waved it towards the postman, and said calmly: "Sell me a favor, don't go see the official, let's keep it secret."
When Yi Cheng saw the sign, he was stunned at first, and then sneered: "The token of Nanyue Hengshan Sect? Haha, what's the use to me! This is Yuanzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi, Nanyue Hengshan, you can't control me! With your face, I can’t sell it!”
Gu Baiquan smiled, took out another sign and said, "Sell me a favor."
Yi Cheng's sneer froze for three seconds, but he quickly shook his head and said: "The Lushan sect is not what it used to be. It has long declined. It is even said that the inheritance has been discontinued. Therefore, I can't sell this face, so I'd better go see the official. .”
Gu Baiquan was still not discouraged and took out another card.
Yi Cheng looked at the sign and wondered: "The sign of Wugong Mountain's Jinding Gate? It's strange, the sign decided by the people of Wugong Mountain doesn't look like this!"
When Ye Wumian saw that he actually took out the sign of Wugong Mountain, he felt puzzled in his heart: Could it be that he is a disciple of Wugong Mountain! How could such a chivalrous person come out of the Golden Dome Sect of the Wugong Mountain Man? This is strange.
Unexpectedly, Gu Baiquan said angrily: "Don't mention to me that villain who usurped the throne. I am the orthodox member of Wugong Mountain. This brand is the real brand of Wugong Mountain!"
Yi Cheng looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I Yi have close contacts with the Jinding Sect of Wugong Mountain, how can I not know what his brand is? Your brand is not decided by Wugong Mountain people, so I can't sell it. "
Gu Baiquan explained for a long time. The general meaning is that the current Wugong Shanren is a villain who killed his master and usurped the throne. This person cannot represent Wugong Mountain or the Jinding Sect. Therefore, the waistband formulated by Wugong Shanren is fake, and he What’s in your hands is real.
Yi Cheng Youyan Bujin said: "That is the internal grievances of the noble sect and has nothing to do with me. I only recognize that whoever occupies the Golden Summit is the head of the Golden Summit Sect of Wugong Mountain."
Gu Baiquan was extremely angry. Seeing that his defense was useless, he took out a waist badge from his arms.
Ye Wuxian found it quite amusing. Regardless of whether what Gu Baiquan said about Wugong Mountain is true or false, just saying that the waist tags he has taken out now are already four yuan. Those who don't know better think that he is engaged in wholesale of waist tags.
"This, Teng Wangzong's waist card, does it work or not!" Gu Baiquan said through gritted teeth.
His face looked less like a stable middle-aged man at this moment, and more like an angry young man.
Yi Cheng's eyes shone, he looked at the waist badge for a long time, and after appraising it, he carefully handed it back to Gu Baiquan, bowed and said, "I don't know that your Excellency is actually a guest of Teng Wangzong. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."
Gu Baiquan waved his hand proudly and said: "I don't want you to respect me, so just tell me, are you selling my face or not?"
Yi Cheng said flatteringly: "Sell, sell, sell, keep it private."
In the end, Ye Wumian paid a penny and settled the matter privately.
After Yi Cheng left, Ye Wumian thanked Gu Baiquan again: "Thank you, Senior Gu, for rescuing me, otherwise tonight would have been difficult."
Gu Baiquan waved his hand and said: "No need to say more! I hate evil the most. When I see bad people, I want to kill them all. When I see a good person like you who dares to take action against bad people, I want to give you my heart!"
Sleepless night smiling.
This Gu Baiquan is quite cute.
It was late at night, and Gu Baiquan saw that Ye Wumian was in good condition, so he said goodbye and went back to his room.
Although Ye Wumian was quite curious about what he said about Wugong Shanren usurping the throne, she didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to him, and watched him go.
Chu Yan looked at Gu Baiquan's back and whispered to Ye Wumian: "Master, this Gu Baiquan's internal energy is very complex. He has at least a dozen internal skills from Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. He is really a strange man!"
Ye Wumian smiled and said, "No wonder, he has so many cards."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
I just went downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles, but ended up having a fierce fight. I had a sleepless night and even vomited out the noodles I had eaten. Logically speaking, this was very unfortunate, but as I looked at Chu Yan and smiled, , these misfortunes have all disappeared.
After making an appointment with Chu Yan to get up early tomorrow, Ye Wumian also returned to his room.
