But one thing was beyond my expectations, that was, there was a faint golden light above the old monk's head. Although it was not particularly strong, he still had nowhere to hide under the gaze of Zhuyou's Qi-Wanging Technique.
This is not the first time I have seen this kind of golden light.
When we were dealing with Hei Bai Wuchang, we saw this golden light on Hei Wuchang's head. Of course, the golden light on their heads must be much stronger than the master.
What puzzles me is that this master is just a mortal body, how could there be a golden light on his head like the black and white impermanence?
You should know that Hei and White Impermanence is a righteous god who has attained enlightenment. How could an ordinary monk compare to it?
Looking at the face of the old monk, because of his age, his skin is no longer tight at this time. Many wrinkles can be seen on his loose face, as clear as ravines.
But from the corners of his eyebrows, it can be vaguely seen that he should have been a handsome man when he was young.
Although he was wearing a conspicuous red cassock, he had a fairly pure and inaction temperament that was contrary to his clothes.
However, after this look, I did not see the depth of the old monk, because except for the golden light on his body, there seemed to be no breath of a cultivator.
While I was looking at him, the old monk had already started to speak.
"This little layman, do you know me?"
"No."
Without hesitation, he shook his head and denied, "I first arrived in Shanhai City. I think I should be from Sumo when I was with the master, but I don't know why the master said this."
oh……
The old monk nodded without changing his expression and said in a melody: "When I first met the little layman, I felt that there was a very familiar smell on the little layman. Although you and I were several meters apart, the feeling of being similar was extremely strong, so I asked a rash question. Please don't be surprised by the little layman."
While speaking, he bowed slightly to me.
For this reason, I could only bow and say, "The master is out of here. In fact, when I first met the master, I also felt familiar, so I took the liberty to look at the master and asked the master not to blame him."
Ha ha.
The old monk smiled at me and joked: "Just just now, I saw a divine light appearing in the little layman's eyes, and a hint of righteousness in his face, and his every move was gentle and elegant. I guess he must have come from a famous family."
"That's right."
I nodded undeniably and asked with a smile: "Just now, I saw that the master's eyes were calm and unconscious, just like the deep sea of stars, people could not see through the depth. I was guessing that the master should be a cultivator."
"What is cultivation"
The master asked without hesitation: "In the eyes of the little layman, what kind of method is considered "cultivation"?"
This problem is a little difficult for me.
Because in theory, I am not a practitioner, so I can’t even be half-toned when it comes to practicing.
Now that the old monk asked, I really don’t know how to answer. At the same time, I was a little annoyed in my heart. I clearly wanted to try the old monk’s background, but I was forced into a desperate situation by someone.
As my heart was twists and turns, Xueyan beside me had already answered generously: "Walk, sit, lie, and breathe, and take one breath, and take one breath as the true energy. Can the four sacs and Bagua furnaces establish the foundation of the alchemy?"
"Okay, okay."
After Xue Yan finished this passage, the old monk quickly applauded happily: "This female donor is indeed a real person who does not show his appearance. I didn't expect that he had such achievements at a young age. Every step and sitting is all about practicing. Just this kind of spirit has made me, a monk who has practiced for decades, out of reach."
“The master has been awarded.”
Xueyan responded neither humble nor arrogantly, but her face was still very calm, and she did not seem to feel happy because of the old monk's praise.
"Master, what's going on with the sudden enlightenment you just mentioned?"
Until now, Zhang Xian was still struggling with the previous questions and did not find a reasonable answer.
The old monk glanced at him, then moved his eyes to me, and said aloud: "I think this little layman should have guessed this allusion about the epiphany."
"Although judging from his performance, it should not be an envelope on Buddhism, I have reason to believe that he definitely knows this allusion."
“It’s over-reward.”
After bowing to the old monk, I slowly said: "As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, an allusion about epiphany was widely circulated among the people."
"Mr. Shen has lived in Lingnan for a long time, so he must have known that there is a temple with great incense at the foot of Danxia Mountain in the south."
"You are talking about Danxia Mountain"
Shen Yun said without hesitation: "Is it the Nanhua Temple with a lot of tourists?"
"If it is Nanhua Temple, then the allusion mentioned by the old Zen master is probably related to the legendary Sixth Patriarch Huineng."
"Yes."
I responded without hesitation: "As early as more than 700 years ago, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng was an ordinary little monk. At that time, he was still practicing with the Fifth Patriarch Hongren in a meditation temple in the north."
"One day, the Fifth Patriarch sensed that he might not be far from Guiyun, so he organized a meeting to identify the scriptures and wanted to select his successor."
"At that time, there were two people in the temple who were more proficient in Buddhism, one was the great disciple, Zen Master Shenxiu, and the other was Huineng Zen City. These two people had extremely high comprehension of Buddhism and were also the most outstanding figures among the many disciples of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren."
"Master Hongren asked all the disciples to write a Buddhist verse in a short time."
"Master Shenxiu and Huineng wrote it out on the spot."
"The two are at the same speed and their strength should be equal. However, that night, the Fifth Patriarch secretly called Huineng to the Zen room, secretly passed on his own mantle to Huineng, and told him to escape overnight to avoid the harm of his fellow disciples."
"In order to avoid killing, Huineng, who was simple in nature, had to take the fifth ancestor's bowl and escape from the north overnight, and went all the way south to Danxia Mountain, where mountains were beautiful and beautiful, and since then, people call him the Sixth ancestor Huineng!"
After saying this allusion, I calmly glanced at everyone present in silence, but a hint of pride flashed in my heart.
Thinking of myself being so knowledgeable and talented, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Are you finished speaking?" Ziming asked back in confusion.
"Yes." I nodded without hesitation.
"That……"
Ziming looked at me hesitantly and asked, "Then your story... has something to do with epiphany?"
