Chapter 546: One Year

"Dingshan Temple......" Xi Bai muttered to himself, he felt that the name of this temple was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it for a while, so he could only shake his head.

Bodhidharma didn't explain anything, stepped into the main hall, sat cross-legged in the middle of the main hall, there was no Buddha statue in the main hall, Bodhidharma is not there, probably that there is a Buddha in the heart, this Buddha is everywhere.

Xi Bai also entered the temple, but he couldn't understand what Bodhidharma did, and the most important thing was that he had always regarded this temple repair as a test for Bodhidharma, but now that the temple has been built, why didn't Bodhidharma say anything at all? It's a good sentence, it's a way to play!

What about the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra"? There are no cheats, so it's good to tell me the next task! Xi Bai was bored for a while, but he didn't dare to show it, who knew that if this made Bodhidharma unhappy, I am afraid that there would be no hope for the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra".

Seeing Bodhidharma, who was meditating silently, he didn't pay attention to his meaning at all, Xi Bai had no choice but to withdraw from the main hall and enter the side room, he couldn't help but groan, what did he do wrong? Or is it that my previous guess was wrong, and the construction of this temple was not a test for Bodhidharma at all?

In this way, what is the real test of the secret book of the "Yijin Sutra"? Do you really have to study the Dharma every day and learn for yourself from the Buddhist scriptures? Then at least give yourself Buddhist scriptures! The muscles at the corners of Xi Bai's mouth twitched, feeling very painful, not to mention whether this was the real way or not, first of all, he was really not interested in Buddhist scriptures.

Actually, God knows how long it will take! What if he really became interested in the Dharma and had the intention of becoming a monk while studying the Buddhist scriptures? Thinking of this, Xi Bai couldn't help but shudder, he had never thought of being a monk! He still has Li Fei'er! If he becomes a monk, won't Li Fei'er have to be a widow! No, never!

But if not, what can be done? Xi Bai has one head and two big, and they both say that Buddhism pays attention to fate, and he really realized it today, if he doesn't tell anything, it's still a fart! Xi Bai's mind was hot, and he suddenly felt the urge to stop playing, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and dispelled this idea.

After all, this is a major event related to the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra", and the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra" are related to their own lives, and they can't die!

Xi Bai shook his head and sighed, and secretly said that his impulse is the devil! After struggling for a long time, in the end there was still no good way, so he had to take one step at a time, he didn't believe it, Bodhidharma really didn't give him any hints, and there was no clue to the task!

In the following days, Bodhidharma only went to Liangcheng once, and then he no longer went to Liangcheng to preach, but instead preached in Jozanji Temple, and if he wanted to listen to the sermon, he had to come to Jozanji Temple every afternoon.

In the first few days, there were still a lot of people who came, and the main hall couldn't accommodate so many people at all, but these people were just curious about Jozanji Temple at first, but after seeing this humble temple, they suddenly became very less interested, and from the third day, there were many fewer people coming.

And these people are still coming for the martial arts of "crossing the river with a reed", and there are very few who really come for the Dharma, while Bodhidharma is unmoved, or it is treated equally, no matter what these people have in mind, even if they just come to see the fun, he is just focusing on his preaching.

After another month, there were less than ten people left every day who still came to listen to the sermon, and among these few people, I am afraid that some of them were really moved by Bodhidharma's words, took refuge in the Buddha, and really had the idea of becoming a monk.

During this time, Xi Bai gradually began to listen to Bodhidharma explain the Dharma, mainly because he really had nothing to do, and Bodhidharma has never "issued" a task since he built this temple! With no choice, Xi Bai had no choice but to listen to the sermon, hoping to find the real clue one day.

Although Xi Bai doesn't understand the Dharma, he has listened to it a lot, and now he has more or less enlightenment, and Bodhidharma, as a generation of patriarchs, although the sermon is not so simple that anyone can understand it, but as long as you work hard and study it for a long time, you can always understand it.

So Xi Bai's life became like this, every day in the morning, he would practice martial arts such as "One Yang Finger" and "Dugu Nine Swords", listen to Bodhidharma's sermons in the afternoon, and practice internal skills in the evening.

Speaking of which, Xi Bai has been here for more than two months, even if the time here is not equal to the real time, there should be no such situation, Xi Bai feels that he is afraid that he is more likely to fall into some kind of illusion.

But now Xi Bai doesn't care much about these anymore, he is now iron-hearted, if he doesn't get the cheats of the "Yijin Sutra", he won't leave here if he says anything! It's just that there is one thing that makes Xi Bai very headache, that is, as he deepens his understanding of Buddhism, the more he understands, the more he is afraid that he will really become a monk.

So he had to remind himself all the time: this is just to get the secret book of the "Yijin Sutra", he doesn't really like Buddhism at all, and he doesn't really want to be a monk! Maybe only in this way can he maintain his mortal heart, otherwise maybe one day, he will be moved by Bodhidharma and take refuge in the Buddha......

Spring goes to autumn, winter passes the summer solstice, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed......

Early in the morning, Xi Bai came out of his room and stretched out in the open space, his current appearance, compared with a year ago, has obviously changed a lot, of course, this is not to say his appearance, but to say his temperament, Xi Bai has now become quiet, calm, a lot less sharp and impetuous, the whole person has a more dusty temperament, this is the result of his daily listening to Buddhism for a year, although he himself does not want it very much, and even some rejection, he does not want to be a monk!

At this moment, the door of the wing room opposite him also opened, and out of it came a young man dressed in white, after the young man saw Xi Bai, he immediately smiled and nodded, and Xi Bai also smiled, which was regarded as a greeting, and then they were busy with their own things.

In the past year, this Jozanji Temple has also undergone some changes, such as this temple is no longer as simple as before, with wall skin, with red paint, in the main hall, there is a Buddha statue of the Buddha, so at a glance, it really has a bit of a temple.

These are all done by people who have listened to the sermon in the past year, and this year, Bodhidharma's reputation has become more and more famous, and his reputation is completely about the understanding of the Dharma, not his martial arts, many people who believe in the Dharma have come, some have sent things, and some have renovated the temple.

Bodhidharma for the things sent except for simple food, nothing else will be accepted, and for the transformation of the temple, he did not care, but let it go, Xi Bai as the builder of the temple, see Bodhidharma does not care, it is completely denied that this is about the "Yijin Sutra" cheats test of the idea, and no longer care.

And in this year, there are a lot of people who come and go, but what surprises Xi Bai is that Bodhidharma didn't accept a single apprentice, not even a registered disciple! Among these people, he saw that many of them had a deep study of Buddhism, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were a generation of Buddhist masters, and some of them were even able to argue with Bodhidharma!

It's not that no one among these people has mentioned the meaning of wanting to worship Bodhidharma as a teacher, and even there are many such people, and they have never decreased, whether it is for Bodhidharma's magical martial arts, or his profound Buddhism, in short, there are many people who want to worship Bodhidharma as a teacher. But Bodhidharma didn't accept anyone, but all of them were sent away in one sentence, "Now is not the time to accept disciples, let's talk about it later." ”

This sentence, from the first person who wants to worship Bodhidharma as a teacher, has been until now, and when is it, Bodhidharma has never said, and some people are very sure of their apprenticeship, although they can't worship Bodhidharma as a teacher immediately, but they willingly stayed, living in this Jozan Temple, for these people Bodhidharma did not refuse, but let those who were willing to stay, stayed.

As a result, there are more people in Jozan Temple, and Jozanji Temple has to be expanded, saying that the expansion is just a few more wings, as for the main hall, there is still only one one, and there is only one Buddha statue, and there is not even gilding!

Some of these people have stayed here all the time, and have made up their minds to take Boddamour as a teacher, and some of them were very determined at first, but they didn't hold out for a few months, and they left on their own, and in the end, there were less than twenty people left, and some of them came recently, and I don't know if they can stay. These people are probably trying to emulate Bodhidharma, and they are all dressed in white, but the temperament of a dusty monk cannot be learned.

As for the young man who had just greeted Xi Bai, he was the first person, and he had been following Bodhidharma since he was preaching in Liangcheng, and he was also the first to propose to worship Bodhidharma as a teacher, and after being rejected, he was the first person to stay here.

Xi Bai is not a stranger to this person, he had seen it before when he was by the river, and he was the first person who proposed to learn Bodhidharma's "crossing the river with a reed".

However, as he followed Bodhidharma for an extended time, Xi Bai could clearly see that his thoughts gradually changed, from the beginning he only wanted to learn martial arts, became began to believe in Buddhism, believed in Buddhism, and finally became a staunch believer! His views on Buddhism have also improved, and now he even has the temperament of a high monk.

Xi Bai watched the other party change little by little, which made him a little creepy, from the other party, he seemed to see himself, he was afraid that he would be influenced one day, he had to remind himself all the time, this is not true, this is simply a "pyramid scheme"! He doesn't want to be a monk!
