In the beginning of a poem of seven killings, I use the article to kill ghosts and gods

Chapter 36 Tree Movement or Shadow Movement?The heart of the benevolent!
"This……"

Lin Buyu suddenly became embarrassed.

In her opinion, asking Xu Ye to talk about Buddhism with Zhiheng is no different from playing the piano with a cow, and Xu Ye will definitely make a fool of himself.

She had no intention of going through this essay meeting, and she felt a little sorry for making Xu Ye embarrassing again.

"Master Qin, Mr. Xu is not good at..."

"Shut up, Mr. Qin has already said that, so let's listen to it."

Lin Buyu was about to help Xu Ye refuse at the risk of offending Mr. Qin, but he didn't want to, and was interrupted by Xu Ye in the middle of the conversation.

"If the answer is not good, Mr. Qin and Master Zhiheng don't want to laugh at the younger generation."

As Xu Ye added something, he secretly winked at the puzzled Lin Buyu as if begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Lin Buyu was both angry and funny.

"Benefactor Xu is willing to participate in Buddhism, which is really a good thing. How can the poor monk make a joke?"

The monk Zhiheng has a serious expression on his face.

"You can answer the question with confidence, no one dares to laugh at you with this old man here."

Master Qin nodded in agreement.

"Then ask Master Zhiheng to come up with a question."

Xu Ye nodded.

Although he didn't know much about Zen Buddhism, he was very confident in the matter of slapping his mouth. Instead of being pestered by this group of people, he might as well find a way to stop their mouths.

"Master Xu, let's look at the banyan tree in front of the courtyard."

Monk Zhiheng pointed to the ancient banyan tree on the side of the front yard.

"What happened to the banyan tree?"

Xu Ye also looked at the banyan tree.

This banyan tree is two or three stories high, with luxuriant branches and leaves. When the wind blows, the branches and leaves will keep swaying and swaying.

"Last summer night, the poor monk and the abbot were sitting under a tree to enjoy the shade. At that time, there was a strong wind blowing, and the shadow of the tree swayed for a while, so the poor monk suddenly asked a question."

Zhiheng put his palms together and looked at the ancient banyan tree, as if he was remembering something.

"Why ask?"

Xu Ye couldn't help asking.

"The wind blows the shadow of the tree, is it the wind or the shadow?"

Zhiheng looked at Xu Ye with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Hearing this question, Xu Ye froze for a moment, and thought to himself, "Why are the monks in this world also struggling with this question?"

After hearing this question, everyone around whispered to each other, some said it was wind movement, some said it was shadow movement, and they argued endlessly for a while.

Even Mr. Qin fell silent at this moment.

"For this question, it's not the point to just answer the wind movement or the shadow movement. The key point is why is the wind movement and why is the shadow movement."

Lin Buyu bit her lip and began to think hard, but no matter how hard she thought, she still couldn't find a convincing answer.

"The question Zhiheng posed was much more difficult than the one his senior brother posed last time. Even if Xu Ye couldn't answer it, no one would dare to laugh at him. I'm afraid that Xu Ye himself was talking nonsense."

At this moment, she looked at Xu Ye again.

"Master Zhiheng, I have the answer."

Just as Lin Buyu was thinking about how to remind Xu Ye, Xu Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"This guy, no matter whether he will answer or not, at least put on a show and think about it for a while."

Lin Buyu complained in his heart with a bit of resentment.

"Oh?"

Zhi Heng looked at Xu Ye with surprise on his face.

"Then Xu benefactor thinks, is it the wind or the shadow?"

He couldn't wait to ask Xu Ye.

Not only Zhiheng, but all the students including Master Qin and Liu Muxuan also turned their attention to Xu Ye.

"Neither wind nor shadow."

Xu Ye tried his best to put on an inscrutable appearance, and smiled faintly at Zhiheng.

"It's not the wind, it's not the tree, what kind of answer is that?"

Not far away, Liu Muxuan immediately sneered after hearing Xu Ye's answer.

When the other students heard the words, many of them also showed sneers, thinking that Xu Ye was talking nonsense.

Seeing this, Lin Buyu raised her forehead immediately, and what she was most worried about appeared.

"Xu Ye, if you don't know how to answer this question, you can just speak up, there is no need to be so nonsense."

Liu Muxuan added fuel to the fire at this moment.

On the other hand, Zhiheng still stared at Xu Ye curiously and asked:

"It's neither the wind nor the shadow, so in Xu Benefactor's view, what's the solution to this problem?"

"It's neither the wind nor the tree. The benevolent moves the heart."

Xu Ye replied calmly.

As soon as this remark came out, all the scholars who had watched the joke froze in place with stiff expressions.

"The benevolent... the heart is moved!"

Master Qin, who was originally displeased, stood there motionless as if he had been struck by lightning, mumbling to himself incessantly.

"The heart of the benevolent, the great kindness, the great kindness!"

Monk Zhiheng was the first to react. His pair of pupils, which had been stagnant, suddenly turned golden light, and a faint golden light appeared on his bald head.

People who are familiar with Buddhist practice must know that this is one of the signs of enlightenment for Buddhist disciples.

"Benefactor Xu, you have such a root of wisdom, why don't you just escape into the Buddhist gate and study Buddhism with us!"

Zhi Heng extended an invitation to Xu Ye excitedly.

"I reject!"

Xu Ye quickly hid behind Lin Buyu.

Lin Buyu, who was still in shock, was suddenly awakened, and immediately stopped Zhiheng for Xu Ye and said:
"Master Zhiheng, ghost servants cannot leave their membership without Yanjun's permission."

As soon as Zhiheng heard this, a deep regret appeared on his face, and he sighed:
"Benefactor Xu is so wise, he should have entered my Buddhist sect from birth, and shouldn't be buried in the ghost town department!"

Hiding behind Lin Buyu, Xu Ye rolled his eyes and said:

"I thank you."

……

After a while.

Amidst the surprised, confused, jealous and envious eyes, Xu Ye and Lin Buyu walked into the Palace of Heavenly Kings side by side.

"How did you come up with that answer?"

Lin Buyu asked Xu Ye quietly as he walked towards the examination room ahead.

"Well, it was actually thought of by my ancestor. He once answered similar questions in the book."

Xu Ye thought for a while, and then threw the pot to the first generation ancestor of the Xu family again.

Lin Buyu was stunned when he heard the words.

"No wonder..."

"Secret."

Before Lin Buyu could speak, Xu Ye reminded him in a low voice.

"Uh, uh, uh!"

Lin Buyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"If you wait for the official exam questions of the Wenhui, your ancestor can suddenly possess you and help you with the questions."

Lin Buyu couldn't help but sighed again when he thought of the first exam that was coming soon.

"This time the test is playing piano and chess, right?"

Xu Ye asked.

"Yes."

Lin Buyu nodded absently.

"I can't play the piano, but I can play chess. I can play chess well."

Xu Ye said confidently.

Just kidding, he has been the champion of several Go competitions for the elderly group in the community.
