Chapter six hundred and eighty first, the Zen test
"Everyone, follow me."
Miao Zhun led the way again and led Lu Feng and others into a large pavilion in the sect.
The pavilion is located on a small hillside, with a good view. On one side is a huge square used for spiritual practice in the sect, on which Zen monks in twos and threes are discussing and communicating.
On the other side are many palaces and pavilions, with an endless stream of Zen masters walking through them, creating a busy yet harmonious and peaceful scene.
"Zen Master Miaozhen~" Lu Feng took the opportunity to ask, "Does the great elder of your sect have any hobbies or habits?"
Miao Zhen waved her hands in fear, "I haven't practiced Zen for a long time, and my Zen mind is not yet settled, so I don't dare to call myself a Zen master. My master has a great connection with our sect, so just call me by my Zen name."
Seeing Lu Feng nod, Miaozhen continued: "The Great Elder has been meditating for many years, and her six sense organs have been pure and free of desires and desires. How can she have any preferences? As for habits, her cultivation can be changed in a moment. "
Lu Feng saw that Miaozhen did not dare to criticize the elder, so he changed his mind and asked others, "Is the Zen name of someone with the word 'Miao' like you unique to this sect, or is it shared by all branches?"
Miaozhen was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Why are you asking about this? Do you want to enter Zen practice?"
Lu Feng smiled. He hadn't had enough time in the mortal world. There were too many things that he couldn't let go of. It was absolutely impossible for him to calm down and study the Zen principles of this world.
"There is a good friend of mine in the Qinshan branch of your sect. She has recently joined Zen practice, and she is also a member of the Miao generation, so I wanted to find out something about her."
With a slight smile on her lips, Miaozhen responded: "My dear master, do you know what day today is for our Zen sect?"
Lu Feng looked at it blankly, not knowing what it meant.
Miaozhen pointed to the attic buildings on one side where people were coming and going, and introduced: "Have you seen the highest palace? That is the 'Zen Heart Palace' of our Zen Sect. Today is the only one in the year for our Zen Sect. For the 'Zen Mind Test', all those who have achieved success in Zen practice in each branch will come."
Lu Feng was still puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with what I'm asking about?"
Miaozhen explained: "Our Zen sect's Zen titles are replaced every seven years, and for every Zen heart examination, the latest batch of new Zen practitioners must be present, so the Miaozi generation you want to inquire about My friend, you should be in this Zen Heart Palace right now."
Lu Feng's eyes couldn't help but shine. He glanced at the majestic and solemn hall from a distance. He could faintly see many figures wearing blue outer and white Zen robes, sitting in the hall, writing something seriously.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and with his current eyesight, he could not see clearly whether Miao Qing existed among those people.
If it is true as Miaozhen said, Miaoqing came here, Lu Feng actually planned to go and see him. Although he repaid his life-saving grace with the Origin Stone, it was obviously not enough for him. Deliberately hand over the remaining Zen wood to her.
Although the Qingxiu Zen sect has always focused on practicing pure and abstaining from desires and not paying much attention to meritorious deeds, but if Miaoqing handed over a large number of Zhaixin Zen wood through the hands of Miaoqing, this would undoubtedly be a great cause for her, and she would be in the sect from now on. If you practice Zen, you will definitely be taken care of by many parties.
Ye Fan said curiously: "Since you said that everyone with the word 'Miao' needs to take part in the college entrance examination, why do you still have leisure here?"
Miaozhen responded with a bit of pride: "Those of us who are fortunate enough to practice in our sect have already passed the first round of the big exam yesterday. Today is reserved for them, the branch disciples. After they finish, we will
We will do the second round together.”
Just as Lu Feng was about to ask further about the Zen Heart Examination, he saw Hui Wen's figure walking over from a distance.
Seeing that there was still only one person coming from the other party, Lu Feng couldn't help but look a little more solemn.
"Has the Great Elder agreed to rescue me?"
As soon as Huiwen approached, Lu Feng rushed forward anxiously.
Huiwen hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Cen Master Hengyi said that although the gift of wood by the young master is a big cause and effect, the development of Zen Buddhism has its own destiny, the cycle of cause and effect, and the will of God."
"What do you mean?" Lu Feng's face darkened.
Why does this sound like saying, we don’t take the initiative to ask for your things, you bring them to your door yourself???
So we charge it as it should???
Huiwen smiled awkwardly, and then explained: "What Zen Master Hengyi means is that the subject of the cause and condition of the little master lies in Zen Buddhism, not in her, so it needs to be handled according to Zen Buddhism rules."
Lu Feng felt much better after hearing this and asked, "What are the rules?"
"A great test of Zen mind!" Hui Wen glanced at the distant hall and said slowly: "Chan Master Hengyi has an order. If the young master has a Zen mind, she will do her best to help you out of Zen karma."
Ruoshui, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "Do you want Brother Feng to escape into the Zen sect?"
A look of worry and fear could not help but appear on his fair face.
Hui Wen looked at Ruoshui thoughtfully and corrected: "No, the Zen Heart Examination is just a test of the Zen mind of the practitioners. It does not mean that participants will enter the path of Zen practice. It can only verify whether the participants have the ability."
It’s just a Zen mind.”
Miaozhen also said: "Those who have a Zen mind, even if they do not practice Zen, their understanding of heaven and earth will definitely be far beyond ordinary people. Such people generally have a benevolent heart, and it is difficult to become a treacherous and evil person. I want to come to the Great Elder
That’s the purpose of it.”
Huiwen glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Don't presume to speculate on Zen Master's intentions."
Miaozhen immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
Lu Feng asked: "Is it true that as long as you participate in this so-called Zen heart test, Zen Master Hengyi will come to the rescue?"
Huiwen corrected him with a smile: "No, what Zen Master Hengyi means is... the young master needs to have a Zen mind and pass this big test of Zen mind."
Lu Feng secretly frowned. Although he felt dissatisfied, he could only endure it, "Can you tell me the details of this Zen heart test?"
Hui Wen told Miaozhen: "Leave them to you to receive and guide them, introduce them to the Zen Heart Test, and then take them to the Zen Heart Hall. Say that it is the arrangement of the Great Elder and give them a chance to participate."
After the explanation, Huiwen turned around and left, adding at the end, "If they don't have a Zen mind, then send them down the mountain."
Ye Fan's face darkened and he was about to speak out, but was stopped by Lu Feng.
At present, practicing Zen Buddhism is the only hope to cure Leng Huaping, and there must be no conflict.
After Huiwen left, Lu Feng asked Miaozhen again.
Miaozhen signaled: "This place is quite far away from the Yangxin Palace. Just follow me. I will explain it slowly to you on the way."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng and the others stepped forward to follow him.
On the way, Miaozhen introduced seriously: "The so-called Zen Heart Examination is almost the same as the entrance examination of those forces in the secular world. Only by passing this exam can we Zen practitioners be qualified to call themselves Zen masters and wear the true
Represents the Zen robe of a Zen master.”
Lu Feng listened quietly. From Miaozhen's words, he heard the latter's enthusiasm and longing, and felt the latter's obsession with the 'Zen Master'.
Although Lu Feng does not understand Zen, he also knows the state of mind of a successful Zen master. He has no desires and pursuits, and a pure heart with few desires. Like Miaozhen, he never forgets the names of Zen masters, Zen robes, and other common things. His Zen mind is definitely
Can't get stability.
Judging from this point alone, Lu Feng asked himself that even he was more open-minded than Miaozhen.
Ye Fan asked aloud: "How long does the Zen Heart Examination take?"
"Don't be anxious," Miaozhen glanced at Ye Fan, did not answer his words, and continued to speak slowly: "The Zen Heart Test mainly has three levels, which test the Zen people's Zen thinking, Zen thoughts, and Zen heart.
"
"What is being tested in the Zen Heart Hall at this moment is the level of 'meditation'."
Miaozhen pointed to the building in the distance, "The Zen disciples sitting inside are currently writing the 'Three Hundred Questions on Zen' asked by Zen Master Huiwen himself; you only need to answer more than half of them to be counted.
There is the awareness of Zen meditation.”
After saying that, Miaozhen looked at Ye Fan and then answered his question, "If you can't even pass this level, it won't take long and it will be over immediately."
Ye Fan frowned and was slightly angry, "We have never been exposed to your Zen way. How can we answer the three hundred questions asked by Huiwen?"
Miaozhen snorted coldly, "Since Zen Master Huiwen has arranged it like this, he certainly has his own intentions. With his state of mind, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Seeing that Ye Fan's face was getting gloomier, Miao Zhen couldn't bear it and warned: "Zen Master Huiwen didn't tell you the specific preparation time, so you can have enough time to memorize it. Most of the Zen questions are available in the library.
Record. When you are ready, it will not be too late to take the Zen test again."
Lu Feng's eyebrows narrowed and he asked: "How many classics are there in the Library Pavilion?"
Miaozhen smiled and held out three fingers.
Ye Fan asked in surprise: "Three thousand copies? Or thirty thousand copies?"
A strange smile appeared on Miaozhen's face, and he explained: "The Library Pavilion is divided into three major areas, the Sutra Collection, the Vinaya Collection, and the Commentary Collection. Each area contains millions of Zen scriptures."
Ye Fan's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and said angrily: "Are you kidding me! How can we finish reading millions of Zen scriptures?!"
Although the strength of the three of them is above the Earth Soul Realm, and their soul strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, it still takes three to five years to read so many books.
This move is simply embarrassing them!
If he really has to stay for so long, he might as well find other treatment methods on his own.
Miaozhen's face changed slightly when she heard Ye Fan's scolding voice, and she said coldly: "If you have any objections, just go to Zen Master Huiwen and the Great Elder. This is their arrangement!"
Lu Feng grabbed Ye Fan, who was about to get angry again.
He asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that Zen Master Huiwen didn't explain the preparation time?"
Miaozhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, and responded: "I can still understand this."
Lu Feng was overjoyed, "Please report to us as soon as possible and participate in this round of meditation exams."
Ye Fan looked at Lu Feng in surprise and thought: "What does this mean? Could it be that you are going to break the jar? Participate in the Zen exam without any preparation?"
"Lao Lu is not such a person!"
In a daze, Ye Fan suddenly saw the confident and cunning smile on the corner of Lu Feng's mouth...
