Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

Xiao Feng's face changed slightly, never thought that Zhiguang chose to commit suicide by taking poison in order to conceal the true identity of the leading brother.The thing has happened and it is irreversible, Xiao Feng can only shake his head and sigh.

The little novice who led Xiao Feng earlier came in, he was not surprised to see his master passed away, he just chanted the Buddha's name and knelt down.

Seeing the little novice's reaction, Xiao Feng knew that Zhiguang had already had the will to die, and said to himself: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Master Zhiguang, why are you doing this?"

Thinking of this, my heart turned cold for a little while, and with a sigh, I saluted Zhiguang's body and withdrew.

Xiao Feng retreated from the meditation room and walked out along the original road, there were a few little novice monks sweeping in the huge monastery, but now they have completely disappeared.The whole temple is as quiet as an ancient tomb that has been abandoned for a long time, with hidden secrets buried in it.

Xiao Feng was about to step out of the temple, when a peaceful voice sounded from behind: "Benefactor Xiao, please stay, the poor monk has something to say."

Xiao Feng was startled, turned around, and saw a middle-aged monk who looked about 50 or [-] years old, standing behind him in a gray monk robe, with a peaceful expression.

Xiao Feng was surprised in his heart: with his eyesight, he immediately judged that this monk does not know martial arts, and he has none of the common characteristics of internal and external masters, how could he quietly appear behind him, and he did not notice it at all. where?

Xiao Feng had also seen Shaolin and other eminent monks of the Xuan family before, and he also saw the superb martial arts cultivation of the Dalun Ming King.However, at first glance, these eminent monks certainly have a sense of compassion for the world and the solemnity of the Dharma, but most of this feeling is superficial.For example, the Great Wheel Ming King looks solemn and dignified, but he is very aggressive when he moves his hands.

But the middle-aged monk in front of him just stood there simply, but it gave people a very natural feeling, which was different from the oppressive force of the martial arts master.It's like being one with nature.

Xiao Feng is only proficient in literature and ink, and he doesn't have that much thought to study articles and classics, otherwise he should be able to think of a word "harmony with light and dust" at this moment.

Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the visitor, Xiao Feng didn't dare to neglect, he hastily saluted and said: "I don't know what advice Master has for you?"

The origin of the other party is unknown, and Xiao Feng suspects that the other party is looking for him to investigate Zhi Guang's death, so he secretly guards against it.

The middle-aged monk bowed back and said, "You don't need to be too polite. The poor monk's Dharma name is Zhizhen, and Chan Master Zhiguang is the senior brother of the poor monk."

"It turned out to be Master Zhizhen, I'm so rude."

After hearing the other party's name, Xiao Feng didn't dare to neglect.

It turned out that although Zen Master Zhizhen was not from the martial arts world and was not involved in Jianghu affairs, he was quite famous in this northern region.What's more, he is called a living Buddha because of his profound Buddhist practice and good wit.Those who have been taught by him are often in trouble, with twists and turns, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

However, Xiao Feng himself doesn't quite believe these rumors. In his opinion, everything in life is done by one's own will, how can it be predicted in a few words?
Zhizhen smiled and said: "Benefactor Xiao came from a long way, how can he leave in a hurry? Don't you leave after eating some fast food in the small temple?"

Xiao Feng didn't hide anything, and said openly: "Master Rong, I came here this time to ask Master Zhiguang about a past event that happened 30 years ago. This matter is related to the bloody hatred of my parents. Xiao Feng has no intention of hurting Zhiguang. Master, however, I don’t want Master Zhiguang to choose to commit suicide by taking poison in order not to reveal the identity of the leader who killed my parents. I am at a loss, and pray for Master’s enlightenment.”

Zhiguang didn't seem to be surprised when he heard it, but he just sighed slightly: "Everything is predestined by the law, so it should be viewed in this way. Senior brother can't see through it after all, it should be fate, it's also good luck."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Xiao Feng's heart moved: Does this monk Zhizhen know something?
So he raised the hem of his robe, solemnly bowed down to the other party and said: "What Xiao Feng did was not to kill indiscriminately. He just wanted to know the identity of the culprit. I prayed for Master's kindness, and gave me a few words to solve the confusion in Xiao Feng's heart. "

Zhizhen said: "If you sow the cause, you will reap the fruit. The poor monk's appearance today to meet the benefactor Xiao is also intervening in the cause and effect of the benefactor. No matter, no matter, let me come with the old monk, I will know for myself."

So Xiao Feng followed Zhizhen all the way through the corridors and alleys, and entered a clean meditation room.

Zhizhen said: "The poor monk usually solves other people's doubts and is used to praying. Now the poor monk is also teaching a lesson for the benefactor Xiao. Everything is at the benefactor's convenience. Let's see what God's will is, and what is Xiao Shi's idea?"

Although Xiao Feng was puzzled in his heart, he respectfully bowed to Zhizhen and said: "I beg Master to have mercy."

So Zhizhen washed his hands, picked up a stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.Then he crossed his legs on the Zen bed and meditated with his eyes closed.

After the stick of incense was burned, Zen Master Zhizhen opened his eyes, chanted the Buddha's name "Amitabha", stretched out his hand to take the ashes of the stick of incense from the incense burner, dipped his finger on the ground and wrote the following text:
All things are equal, all beings are equal.The Khitans of the Han people are treated equally.Resentment, honor and disgrace are mysterious and difficult to understand.Be compassionate and always remember the common people.

After writing, he smiled and closed his eyes.

Xiao Feng looked at the eight words on the ground, was dazed, and thought: "From the point of view of Buddhism, not only the benevolent and the wicked are the same, even animals, hungry ghosts, emperors and generals are the same, whether I am a Han or a Khitan, It's really insignificant. But I'm not a disciple of Buddhism, how can I be as free and easy as him?" He said: "Master, who is the leading brother, please tell me." After asking a few words, Zhizhen just smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Xiao Feng sighed in his heart and didn't force it, he thought to himself that he had indirectly killed Zhi Guang, how could he persecute Zhi Zhen who had nothing to do with the Yanmen Pass incident?What's more, people have good intentions and offer some advice to explain themselves.

Standing up and bowing, he said, "Thank you Master for pointing out the maze, this junior will leave."

Then, Xiao Feng got up and left.

After spending a cup of tea, Zhizhen slowly opened his eyes when Xiao Feng was far away, staring at the few lines of poems written with incense ash on the ground, and sighed slightly.

The gatha of Buddhism, because it often involves cause and effect, it is inconvenient to speak out, so it is written in an obscure form.When giving enlightenment to others, information is often hidden. As for whether you can understand it or not, it depends on the fate of the person you are seeking.

Just now, if Xiao Feng is careful enough and smart enough, he should be able to see the word "Xuanci" from the Buddha's gatha, which should be the doubt in his heart.

It's a pity that Xiao Feng's spiritual altar has not yet been revealed, and his heart is full of doubts, so that he can't comprehend this trick.As a result, there will be more storms in the world that shouldn't be there. Of course, these are things for later.
