Seeing Liu Shisui's reaction, Xiao He explained hurriedly, "Don't misunderstand me. I meant to ask a monk to come back and teach you how to interpret the scriptures."
Liu Shisui said, "Zen Master said he wanted to see how much I could comprehend on my own. I think he meant that he didn't want me to ask someone else for help."
Xiao He opened her eyes wide with an innocent expression on her face, saying, "If we do it secretly, who will know?"
Liu Shisui shook his head and said, "The monks in the temple have a very high Cultivation state. It's not feasible."
Xiao He said seriously, "I've been pretending to be weak. In fact, I'm very powerful. And those powerful Bhadanta are all in the backyard, far away from us."
Liu Shisui still didn't accept her proposal. Knowing that she was used to being lawless, he gave up after warning her a few times.
It was very cold in the middle of winter. The Zhen Yuan in Liu Shisui's body was finally in conflict. He started coughing incessantly, and his face was a little pale.
Xiao He was very worried. She wanted to go into the temple to ask for help many times, but Liu Shisui was hesitant and eventually stopped her.
Yin San came to get the dishes. Hearing the coughing coming from the room, he was a little surprised and asked Xiao He a few questions.
Xiao He couldn't explain it clearly, so she said that Liu Shisui had caught a cold.
Yin San found it even more strange, wondering how a Cultivation practitioner could get sick, not to mention that he was a person with natural Dao quality in Aoyama. He said he wanted to go into the room to have a look.
He and Liu Shisui were very familiar with each other, so Xiao He didn't want to stop him. She purposely said a few words loudly and led him into the room.
Leaning against the bed, Liu Shisui had already heard Xiao He's reminder, so he knew what to say. He said that he had taken some medicine and should be fine in a few days.
Yin San felt it was a little strange, but his state was far from being restored, so he couldn't see the problem at a glance like Zen Master. After thinking for a while, he said, "What can I help you with?"
This sentence was very simple, and he said it very indifferently, but in Liu Shisui's ears, it had a sense of sincerity and trustworthiness.
Liu Shisui was suddenly enlightened and asked, "How many years have you been in the Guocheng Temple?"
"Many years."
Yin San thought to himself that if he started counting from that time, then it would be a different story.
It had been more than three hundred years since the former Divine Emperor entered the Guocheng Temple to become a monk.
Liu Shisui asked, "Have you read Buddhist scriptures?"
Yin San laughed and said, "A lot."
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't free himself from the Buddhist scriptures, why would he take such a big risk to come to the Guocheng Temple?
Liu Shisui hesitated for a moment before he took out the piece of cloth from under his pillow and handed it over. He asked, "Can you help me see what this scripture means?"
Yin San looked at him in Silence for a very long time before he took it. The moment he touched the cloth, his fingertips almost imperceptibly trembled.
This scripture began with the words' Thus I Have Heard ', indicating that this was the true Zen scripture of the Guocheng Temple.
Yin San silently finished reading this scripture, his heart filled with endless regret.
As expected, he was a person without luck, whether it was in his previous life or this life.
This scripture wasn't what he was looking for, but with his vast knowledge of both ancient and modern times, he could naturally see Liu Shisui's problem from the scripture.
It turned out that this young fellow was facing such a thorny problem. No wonder he wanted to come to the Guocheng Temple.
"How is it?"
Liu Shisui's expression was a bit nervous, but then he realized that he was asking too much and thinking too much.
Even if the other party had been in the Guocheng Temple for a long time and had read Buddhist scriptures, he was still just a servant in the kitchen. How could he understand such a profound scripture?
"It's not very difficult" Yin San replied.
Liu Shisui was about to thank him and send him off, but when he heard this answer, he froze.
Yin San looked at him and smiled: "Do you want me to explain the scripture to you?"
The vegetable garden was very quiet.
Today, the sun was shining brightly.
The snow on the roof melted, falling on the row of cabbages closest to him, making a clattering sound.
This sound could be heard clearly even through the window.
Liu Shisui woke up and sincerely said: "Please enlighten me"
Yin San didn't stand on ceremony, sat down on a chair, and began to explain the scripture to him.
… …
… …
"The focus of the tranquil mind is to observe, to observe is to go forward … …"
"If all are learned, to attain the Four Truths of Emptiness, this sentence cannot be understood from its original meaning … …"
"I don't know what this scripture is referring to, but the sentence 'no intention to tread on the Ghost Baby Tree' is the main point"
Yin San's voice was very soft, and his tone was very warm, just like the real spring wind.
The words he used were very simple, but he could clearly explain the complicated principles, and he was also very good at using metaphors, just like the most experienced teachers in the private schools in the villages.
Liu Shisui had already memorized this Buddhist scripture by heart, and he understood most of the literal meaning, knowing that it talked about the forms of emptiness and colors. However, the scripture was too profound, and there were too many details that he couldn't confirm, so he naturally couldn't really understand the profound meaning of the Dharma hidden in it. Now that he had the answer, he immediately understood many principles.
Once the principles were understood, they would emit the most moving brilliance. The more Liu Shisui listened, the more absorbed he became, and he had long forgotten everything around him.
Xiao He didn't understand these scriptures, so she was much calmer. Looking at the servant named Yin Fu, her willowy eyebrows gradually raised, but she didn't dare to disturb him.
It was unclear if he felt her vigilant gaze, but Yin San put down the scripture in his hand and said, "Let's stop here."
Having said this, he turned around and left the house. He walked into the cellar and carried two large loads of cabbages, and then left the vegetable garden.
After making sure that he had gone far, Xiao He returned to the house and wanted to say something to Liu Shisui. Seeing him closing his eyes calmly as if he had learned something, she couldn't say anything.
That night, Liu Shisui didn't cough again.
When he woke up the next morning, even his complexion looked much better.
Yin San came to get the vegetables as usual, and then he walked into the house naturally and started to explain the second section of the Buddhist scripture to Liu Shisui.
It was unclear whether it was because he had done his homework in advance or because he was more familiar with the lecture, but he spoke better that day. Even Xiao He could understand a little bit of what he said. Even though she could only understand ten percent of what he said, she still felt that she had learned something. Liu Shisui listened to him attentively, and he felt intoxicated when he heard some interesting parts.
This section of the scripture was no more than forty or fifty words, so Yin San finished it very quickly. When he was about to leave, he suddenly found that there was an extra cup of tea on the table.
He smiled at Xiao He to thank her, and then he went out of the house to get the winter vegetables. Xiao He stood at the door to see him off.
…
…
On the third day, Yin San continued to come and preach.
Today, tea had been prepared on the table in advance. When he finished preaching and was about to leave, he found that Xiao He had even taken out the winter vegetables in advance.
…
…
Every day after that, Yin San would come to the vegetable garden to preach, and he would leave after a section of the scripture. This continued until more than ten days later.
Something happened that day, so he came much later.
It was already night time. Liu Shisui and Xiao He didn't need to rely on the light to see, but they had to pretend to be mortals, so they still lit a lamp.
The dim yellow light illuminated the entire room, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter day.
The Buddhist scripture was finally finished.
In the end, Yin San said to Liu Shisui, "After you understand it, you must forget the scripture. Only then will you understand the true meaning of the scripture."
Hearing this, Liu Shisui felt a buzzing sound in his Spiritual Ocean, and a ray of heavenly light fell, illuminating a whole new world.
He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Suddenly, the oil lamp exploded into a beautiful flower.
Xiao He stared blankly at the light and shadow that seemed to remain in the room. After a while, she came to her senses, but she found that the person was no longer there.
