Chapter 862: The Allusion of the Six Ancestors Hui Neng

But there is one thing that is beyond my expectations, that is, there is a faint golden light above the old monk's head, although it is not particularly strong, but under the scrutiny of Zhu Youwangqi, there is nothing to hide.

It's not the first time I've seen this golden light.

When we were dealing with black and white impermanence, we had seen this golden light on the top of black impermanence's head, and of course, the golden light on their heads must be much stronger than that of the master.

What puzzled me very much was that this master was just a mortal in the flesh, how could there be a golden light on his head that was as black and white as impermanence?

You must know that black and white impermanence is a righteous god who has attained enlightenment, how can it be compared to an ordinary monk?

Looking at the old monk's face again, because of his age, the skin at this time is no longer tight, and a lot of wrinkles can be seen on the loose face, which is as clear as the vertical and horizontal ravines.

But from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, it can be vaguely seen that he should have been a handsome man when he was young.

Although he was dressed in a conspicuous red robe, there was a rather pure and inactive temperament on his body, which was contrary to what he was wearing.

However, after looking at it this time, I didn't see the depth of the old monk, because there didn't seem to be any aura of a cultivator on his body except for the golden light above his head.

While I was looking at him, the old monk had already begun to speak.

"This little layman, may I ask if you and I have ever met?"

"No, I didn't."

Without hesitation, he shook his head and denied: "I am a newcomer to Shanhai City, and I want to meet the master in a certain way, but I don't know why the master said this?" ”

Oh......

The old monk nodded without changing his face, and said in a deep voice: "When I first saw the little layman, I felt that the little layman had a very familiar smell, although you and I are still a few meters apart, but the feeling of déjà vu is extremely strong, so I will ask rashly, and please don't be surprised by the little layman." ”

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to me.

For this reason, I could only bow back and say: "The master has seen the outside, in fact, when I first met the master, I also had a sense of déjà vu, so I also took the liberty to look at the master, and asked the master not to blame." ”

Ha ha.

The old monk smiled aloud at me and quipped: "Just now I saw a glimmer of light in the eyes of the little layman, a trace of righteousness in his face with the national character, and his gestures are gentle and elegant, presumably he should be from a famous family, right?" ”

"Sort of."

I nodded undeniably, and asked with a smile: "Just now, I looked at the master's eyes calmly, like a deep sea of stars, people can't see through the depths, I'm guessing, the master should be a cultivator, right?" ”

"What is cultivation?"

Without thinking, the master asked, "In the opinion of the little layman, what kind of way can be regarded as "cultivation"? ”

That's a bit of a hard question for me.

Because theoretically speaking, I'm not really a cultivator, so when it comes to cultivation, I'm not even half-minded.

Now the old monk's question, I really don't know how to answer, and at the same time, I am a little annoyed that I am clumsy, I obviously want to try the old monk's details, but I was forced to a dead end by others.

When my heart turned a thousand times, the snow goose beside me had already replied generously: "Stop sitting and lying down and breathing, breathe in and out as real qi, four sac pleasure gossip furnaces, can you use this to establish Danji?" ”

"Good, good."

After Xue Yan finished saying this, the old monk hurriedly applauded happily: "This female benefactor is really a real person who does not show her face, I didn't expect to have such attainments at a young age, and every line and every sitting is a practice, just this kind of courage has made me, a Shamen person who has practiced for decades, out of reach." ”

"The master has won the prize."

Xue Yan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, but her face was still very calm, and she didn't seem to feel happy because of the old monk's praise.

"Master, what is the epiphany you mentioned just now?"

Until this moment, Zhang Xian was still entangled in the previous question and did not find a reasonable answer.

The old monk glanced at him slightly, then moved his gaze to me again, and said loudly: "Regarding the allusion of epiphany, I think this little layman should have guessed it. ”

"Although judging from his performance, he should not believe in the Dharma, I have reason to believe that he definitely knows this allusion."

"It's over."

After arching his hand to the old monk, I said unhurriedly: "As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was an allusion about epiphany that was widely circulated among the people. ”

"Mr. Shen has lived in Lingnan for a long time, so he must know that at the foot of Danxia Mountain in the south, there is a temple with extremely strong incense, right?"

"You're talking about Danxia Mountain?"

Shen Yun said without thinking: "Isn't it the Nanhua Temple full of tourists? ”

"If it's Nanhua Temple, then the allusion that the old Zen master said is probably related to the legendary Six Ancestors Huineng, right?"

"Yes."

I replied without hesitation: "As early as more than 700 years ago, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng was still an ordinary little monk, and at that time he was still practicing with the Fifth Patriarch Hongren in the Zen temple in the north. ”

"One day, the Five Ancestors sensed that they might not be far from Guiyun, so they organized a meeting to select their successors."

"At that time, there were two people in the temple who were more proficient in Buddhism, one was the eldest disciple Shenxiu Zen Master, and the other was Huineng Chancheng, both of whom had a very high ability to comprehend Buddhism, and they were also the most outstanding figures among the many disciples of the Five Patriarchs Hongren."

"Master Hongren came up with a question and asked all the disciples to write a Buddhist poem in a short time."

"Master Shenxiu and Huineng wrote it on the spot."

"The speed of the two is comparable, and the strength should be between the two of them, but that night, the fifth ancestor secretly called Huineng to the meditation room, secretly passed his mantle to Huineng, and told him to escape overnight to avoid the cruelty of his fellow disciples."

"In order to avoid being killed, Huineng, who is simple by nature, can only flee the north overnight with the mantle of the five ancestors, and go all the way south to the beautiful Danxia Mountain to teach the Fa, and since then the world has called him the sixth ancestor Huineng!"

After saying this allusion, I calmly glanced at the silent crowd present, but a hint of pride flashed in my heart.

The thought of being so knowledgeable and talented suddenly filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Are you finished?" Ziming asked a little confused.

"That's right." I nodded without thinking.

"That ......"

Ziming glanced at me with some hesitation and asked, "Then what is your story...... Does it have anything to do with epiphany? ”
