Chapter 388 Strange People

After sitting for a while, seeing that it was already late at night, Ding Wu had to work hard tomorrow, he stood up and said goodbye. By the way, he borrowed Ding Wu's booklet and went back to take a closer look. After walking out of the house, he walked for a while, and turned around, he saw that Ding Wu's figure had turned into a smaller figure in the sky and flew closer to Yule. Ding Wu was still Ding Wu, and Han Yiming didn't even realize how different he was from Senior Brother Ding before. Only when he watched him fly to Yule with his own eyes did he feel that he was no longer Senior Brother Ding, but the head of Lingshan.

Ding Wu's booklet was extremely interesting. Perhaps because he heard that everything in this booklet was actually from the strange vegetables in front of him, he felt more and more interesting. He held it in his hand and looked at the lights carefully for a long time. If he hadn't been worried that he would be too focused and affect Gu Qingquan's rest, he would have read it with relish.

The next day he went to Yuxi again, and Qin Wuchang asked him about the situation the night before. Han Yiming told the truth to the master. Qin Wufang nodded, and Han Yiming said, "Master, although I know that Senior Brother Ding can understand the meaning, I am still a little worried. I started to read books like "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan", but not..." Qin Wufang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, just read it. You just read it. Which book you read, read it all. Although the book should go from shallow to deep, for him, he would listen to it. Yiming, Ding Wu is a straightforward person, pretending to understand if he doesn't understand. If he doesn't understand, he will ask you. You just need to remember, no matter where he says there is something unknown in the book, you don't need to explain it. Just read the sentence he asked again to him."

Han Yiming hesitated for a moment and still said, "Master, don't I really need to explain it in detail?" Qin Wufang shook his head and said, "No need. Ding Wu's wisdom bead has already lit up. He can be consistently serious about a thing for hundreds of years, and naturally summarize countless wisdom in it. His heart is pure, and he can hear the original meaning of the book you read, without being disturbed by the other side. You just need to recite it and listen to it." Han Yiming couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Brother Ding is probably the most amazing person in ancient and modern times!"

Qin Wufang said, "He is indeed different, but he is not the most amazing person." Han Yiming said, "Master, did there be such a strange person in the past?" Qin Wufang said, "Of course there are, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, such a strange person." Han Yiming was stunned and said, "I have never heard of it." He really never heard of it. When he was at home, he had never paid any attention to those who were born and left the world.

Qin Wufang said: "The Sixth Patriarch Huineng was originally from Lingnan. His father died early and his family was in trouble. He moved to the South China Sea to make a living by selling firewood. One day, a guest bought firewood. Huineng carried firewood to the inn. When he went out, he saw a guest chanting scriptures outside the door. Huineng stood aside and listened to it, and his heart was enlightened. What kind of scriptures was? The guest answered the Diamond Sutra. When asked where the sutra came from, the guest answered the fifth Patriarch Hongren preached at Dongchan Temple in Huangmei County, Qizhou. He went to the temple to worship and listened to this sutra. Huineng then placed his mother and went to Huangmei. He worshiped the Five Patriarch and wanted to seek Buddhism. Because he saw that his face was ugly and his roots were too sharp, he broke firewood in the backyard and pounded rice for more than eight months. After that, the Fifth Patriarch wanted to pass on his robe and bowl, he ordered his disciples to write a verse to see wisdom. Those who understand the general idea would put them on their clothes.

Dharma. Within four days of sitting in Shenxiu, he could not give a verse in the thirteenth order, so he wrote a verse in the corridor: Body is a bodhi tree, his heart is like a mirror platform, and he should not cause dust. After the title was written quietly. After the fifth ancestor saw it, he knew that Shenxiu had entered the door but had not obtained it, so he ordered him to write another verse. Shenxiu passed by a few days, but could not write a verse in his heart, and was uneasy. A few days later, a boy passed by the backyard and sang Shenxiu's verse in his mouth. When Huineng heard it, he knew that this verse had not seen its true nature, and although he had not been taught, he knew the general idea. He asked the boy to lead him to pray to the verse. Because he could not read, he asked others to read it for himself, and then recited a verse in himself: There was no tree in the Bodhisattva, and there was no platform in the mirror, and there was nothing in it. Where did the dust be caused? Therefore, he followed the robes of the Fifth Patriarch and became the Sixth Patriarch."

After hearing this, Han Yiming said, "Master, I understand. Senior Brother Ding is also such a strange person. Wisdom is born with nature and spirituality." Qin Wufang nodded and said, "Ding Wu is indeed like this. No matter how difficult the books you read with him, he can understand the meaning. It is the so-called all things and things that are not separated from your own nature." Han Yiming said, "I understand, no longer worry. Master, don't worry, I will definitely study for Senior Brother Ding for your life." Qin Wufang nodded and said, "It's hard for you! Come to accompany me during the day every day and study for your Senior Brother at night." Han Yiming said, "Didn't Master say that everything can enter the Tao? This is also a practice, and one day you will realize the Tao."

Qin Wufang said, "Yiming, I will let you see this secretary of the sect. First, you can let me see things that I could not see before. Second, one day, you may also read it to Ding Wu. He doesn't know much about the past in Lingshan. If the leader of a sect cannot understand the origin of this sect, he will not be the leader." Han Yiming said, "Master, please rest assured. Master, please read it carefully and understand it as soon as possible, so as not to let Master down."

Since then, Han Yiming accompanied Qin Wufang to read the secretary of the sect during the day. In the evening, he went to Ding Wu's hut to read for Ding Wu. Every night, he read one paragraph or two paragraphs. Fast or slow, and when he encountered a difficult sentence, Ding Wu asked him, he would read it again. Ding Wu really had wisdom and never let Han Yiming read a sentence three times. Mostly he could know the meaning, at most twice. Han Yiming never asked his senior brother whether he understood or not, so he came to read it. As long as one word was good, he would read it wordlessly with his senior brother. Fortunately, he didn't need to explain it to his senior brother. Many of the words in these books were only half-understanding, so how could he explain it to his senior brother? It would be better not to say it because of the falsehood.

On the evening of that day, he read two passages, sat with Ding Wu, and came back alone. Walking back to Jingxin Courtyard, the moon had passed the treetops. When he walked to the door, he heard someone talking in the room, which was Chen Ruofu's voice. Han Yiming walked into the room and saw Chen Ruofu sitting at the table, talking to Gu Qingquan.
