After Hou Xibai learned the martial arts of the Huajian Sect, he realized that he lacked understanding of the Huajian Sect. This sect is different from other sects of the Demon Sect. Although the martial arts of this sect comes from "Tianmo Ce", it is ultimately about the political sect.

The method does not depend on the number of people, so only one person is passed down from each generation, and the most important thing is academic cultivation. The successors of each generation are amazingly talented, personable, elegant and knowledgeable, and are good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

Hou Xibai noticed the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism hidden in the inheritance of the Huajian Sect. No wonder Shi Zhixuan sneaked into Buddhism and stole the essence of Buddhism to improve his own martial arts realm. Only then did he create the "Seal of Immortality"

Law".

Although the Huajian sect is a demonic sect, its style of conduct is not extreme, it is elegant and gentle, and it has not been crazily suppressed by the righteousness like other demonic sects. It even has a good relationship with Buddhism. Many of the Buddha statues in Buddhist temples are from the Huajian sect.

Carved by a master! Of course, this was before Shi Zhixuan secretly learned Buddhist martial arts. Now the four great Buddhist monks are looking for the devil Shi Zhixuan all over the world.

Hou Xibai studied with Shi Zhixuan, not only in martial arts, but also in various arts such as painting, sculpture, chess, music, etc.

This is because Hou Xibai is naturally intelligent, has astonishing understanding, and can learn very easily. If it were anyone else, even the extremely talented Yang Xuyan would not be able to master all of these.

Hou Xibai's performance in front of Shi Zhixuan was still reserved, but even so, Shi Zhixuan was extremely surprised. Such qualifications were no less than his performance when he was a child.

What kind of qualifications does Shi Zhixuan have? He is the number one master of the Demon Sect today. He once entered the realm of a Grand Master and created the "Seal of Immortality" by himself. One person can monopolize the four holy monks of Buddhism, which is rare in a hundred years.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. After all, Shi Zhixuan has several vests and needs to maintain these identities, so he often disappears. In the entire Youlin Xiaozhu, only Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan live here. Every once in a while,

Shi Zhixuan will order people to send some supplies, but he will not let them starve to death.

On this day, Shi Zhixuan came back from nowhere, summoned Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan to him, looked indifferent and indifferent, and gave instructions.

"You two have mastered the martial arts of Butian Pavilion and Huajian Sect. You can leave here!"

Hou Xibai's eyes widened and he looked at Shi Zhixuan in disbelief. What did he mean by this? This master is so irresponsible. He is so young that he doesn't care about his job.

"Master, I don't want to leave you!"

Hou Xibai finally found a long-term meal ticket, but he was not willing to leave. Did he know that the world is now in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and life is difficult. He is only seven years old now, how can he survive? Let alone a child like him, he is an adult.

There are many people who starve to death. Unlike Yang Xuyan, he is of royal blood and has some basic connections, so he has no worries about food and clothing. He is alone, where can he make a living.

Shi Zhixuan looked at Hou Xibai, who was sincere and a little moist in his eyes, and remained unmoved. He had been in contact with Hou Xibai for a long time. Did Shi Zhixuan still not understand the character of his disciple who had accepted him halfway? His character was the most indifferent, definitely.

The most suitable successor of the Huajian Sect.

Hou Xibai's tears were all due to his acting skills, without any emotional fluctuations, and he couldn't hide it from Shi Zhixuan at all.

Yang Xuyan's expression moved slightly, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his dead eyes. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared before. Yang Xuyan was different from Hou Xibai. He had great ambitions and blood feuds in his heart, and he had long been unwilling to do anything.

After staying in this barren mountain and wilderness, now that Shi Zhixuan agreed to their departure, he was even a little happy in his heart.

"If you want to stay here, that's up to you, but I won't let anyone send me supplies anymore!"

Shi Zhixuan's words were extremely cold. He looked at Hou Xibai who had put away his tears with cold eyes. The corner of his mouth still couldn't help but twitch. Sure enough, it was all staged and all fake.

Hou Xibai smiled, a little disappointed, lowered his head, and had a headache. Without Shi Zhixuan's long-term meal ticket, he would have to find a way to survive in the future, which was really troublesome.

Hou Xibai thought for a moment, but there was no good solution. He suddenly looked at Yang Xuyan aside. This was a man who was not short of money. Why not give him a try by hugging his thigh.

"Senior Brother Yang, I wonder if you would be willing to take this little brother in for a while?"

Yang Xuyan was stunned when he heard this, and for the first time a surprised expression appeared on Dead Fish's face. Hou Xibai didn't know what his relationship was like with Hou Xibai. After a year, they only exchanged a few words. How could he be so embarrassed?

Shamelessly begging to be taken in!

Before Yang Xuyan could speak, Shi Zhixuan waved his hand, breaking Hou Xibai's expectations and said coldly.

"Xu Yan, I have other plans and I can't take you in!"

As soon as these words came out, Hou Xibai's whole face collapsed, and he sighed helplessly, his mood was very low, and he seemed to be very disappointed.

Yang Xuyan's expression moved slightly, but he didn't say a word. His eyes were full of deathly silence, dim and gray, hiding endless evil energy, like evil ghosts under the Nine Netherworld.

Hou Xibai was sitting in the wooden house, looking at the leaving figures of Shi Zhixuan and Yang Xuyan, with complex colors in his eyes. Compared to Yang Xuyan, he was relatively lucky.

Shi Zhixuan accepted him as his disciple, just for a moment, to let him inherit the Taoism of the Huajian Sect. He had no other plans. Although there was not much friendship between master and disciple, it was still considered a kindness.

Yang Xuyan was different. He had a special status. Shi Zhixuan accepted him as his disciple. He had his own plans and could not help himself. He was just a puppet chess piece. He was not as free as Hou Xibai. Although he needed to be self-reliant, he had no constraints.

Hou Xibai did not leave Youlin Xiaozhu immediately after Shi Zhixuan left. There was still some food here, enough for him to live for two months, so why go out to seek life.

In the next two months, Hou Xibai's life was uneventful, just like in the past, cooking by himself, practicing martial arts, and learning various skills, passing by in a hurry.

On this day, Hou Xibai had to leave. There was no other way. There was not enough food in the Youlin small house. If he stayed any longer, he would definitely starve to death.

Chengdu City is a land of abundance. People are coming and going in the city, the cries of vendors are constantly ringing, and various shops are lined up. It is a prosperous scene. There must be no clues of the impending troubled times.

Hou Xibai was dressed in linen clothes, with a gray face, covering his pink and handsome face. He only had a pair of big, clear eyes, spinning around, and he was smart and alert. He was only a seven-year-old child. If he didn't hide his appearance,

, it is very likely to attract some kidnappers and cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

As Hou Xibai walked in the bustling city of Chengdu, he sighed and lowered his head. Where should he go? At the age of seven, he couldn't do anything. Even if he went to work as a busboy in a restaurant, he wouldn't be needed. He was a complete burden.

How does he live?

Although Hou Xibai knew there was little hope, he still visited every shop and asked. In some shops, he was yelled at before he even entered. Some shops were not willing to accept children like him to work even if they were not scolded. At the end of the day,

, the tired Hou Xibai was panting and his back ached.

Hou Xibai leaned against the wall, took out his last rice ball, and ate it in big mouthfuls. After a while, it went into his stomach. He barely ate half full. He scratched his head in distress and thought about his way out. He couldn't rely on it.

You can use your own skills to steal and abduct. This is too inconsistent with the status of a descendant of the Huajian Sect.

Hou Xibai sighed here and looked at the opposite side, dull and lifeless. Suddenly, a bald monk walked into the opposite shop, clasped his hands and recited a Buddhist chant.

"Amitabha, the great seal of the poor monk Dashi Temple, has met the donor. The poor monk, following the abbot's decree, came to chant sutras and pray for the donor!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, bowed respectfully, and said warmly.

"Master Dayin, you are here. I have been having bad luck these days, so I hope the Master can chant sutras for me to ward off misfortunes!"

After saying this, the two entered the back of the store and disappeared from Hou Xibai's sight.

Hou Xibai's eyes sparkled, he was still doing well as a monk these days, as long as he chanted sutras and prayed for people, he could get a lot of money in charity. With a thought in his mind, he murmured to himself.

"These days, everyone in the Demon Sect is very particular about their vests. My cheap master is still wearing the vest of the eminent monk of Wuluo Temple!"

"In this case, I can be considered as a half-Buddhist, so why not mix into Buddhism and make a living, and then I can be considered as having no worries about food and clothing!"

The more Hou Xibai thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was reliable. He quickly got up and walked towards the outside of Chengdu. The Dashi Temple was on the mountain outside the city. It was very famous and belonged to the Zen sect.

The sun is shining brightly and warmly. A group of young monks are walking along the path in the temple. Their heads are bare. The sun shines on them, and the light is bright, like a light bulb. It is dazzling. Among these young monks, there is one who has a delicate appearance.

, pink and jade, much more conspicuous than the others. It is Hou Xibai who has successfully mixed into Buddhism. It can be said that like a teacher, there must be a disciple.

However, there is some difference in that Shi Zhixuan sneaked into Buddhism to steal the essence of Buddhist martial arts, perfect his own martial arts, and create the Immortal Seal, while Hou Xibai just wanted to fill his stomach. In comparison, Hou Xibai is really small.

.

However, Hou Xibai himself didn't care. The world is huge and filling one's stomach is the most important thing. As long as he worships in the Dashi Temple, he will not have to worry about food and clothing every day. Where can he find such a good thing?

Hou Xibai followed a group of young monks and entered the Mahavira Hall. He stood among the young monks with a solemn expression, a solemn appearance, a pure body, a pure and wonderful appearance, and full of spiritual energy.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue is an elderly monk, Master Daoxian, who is the younger brother of the Buddhist holy monk Daoxin and the abbot of Dashi Temple. Behind him, about two hundred monks, old, middle-aged and young, are standing neatly in the hall.

One day, I was reciting the Heart Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, in unison, and for a while I was chanting and humming.

According to the usual practice, in the morning class, the "Shrangama Mantra", "Great Compassion Mantra" and "Heart Sutra" should be recited once each, and then you can disperse and have a fast meal.

Hou Xibai chanted sutras devoutly, stood solemnly, and his mind was silent. A clear pool appeared in his heart. The green lotus swayed and the dewdrops slowly dripped down and fell into the clear surface of the pool, creating ripples in circles.

.

Hou Xibai felt the fluctuations of mental power in the hall, and couldn't help but secretly nodded. The Buddhist martial arts in this world really had something unique. They were good at mental power and had a different state of mind during cultivation, which made him very curious.

Zen Buddhism is the product of the localization of Buddhism, also known as the Buddha Heart Sect, which is a branch of Buddhism. When the second ancestor Hui Ke went to visit the Patriarch Bodhidharma, Bodhidharma passed down a heart seal, that is, the heart and mind are in harmony without saying a word.

Rely on self-realization.

Master Huike said goodbye to Bodhidharma and went back, so he freely expressed himself. He was an out-and-out Chinese native, and he had been studying Confucianism and Lao Zhuang Yi Xue before he was forty years old. It was impossible to create something out of nothing with free expression, so he could only learn from Confucianism and

Learn a lot from Lao Zhuang and Zhuang Yi Xue! Anyway, no matter what Buddhist teachings you have realized, you should never forget to learn from Bodhidharma.

When Master Huike taught Buddhism to his disciples, he imparted the Dharma principles that he had freely realized. Then, relying on the connection between hearts and minds, the disciples also freely exerted themselves and continuously integrated the local philosophical thoughts of the Central Plains. After hundreds of years of free expression, they gradually

After perfection, various Zen practice methods and theories have been formed.

Without establishing words, teaching outsiders; directly pointing to the human heart, seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha. This has become the main theoretical thought of Zen. Therefore, it is easy to bring in private goods and express them freely. It is deeply loved by believers. After all, who doesn't want to become a Buddha!

Hou Xibai waited for the morning class to end, and sat on the bench in the dining hall, holding a bowl, drinking porridge and eating pickles. He was very satisfied. These days, ordinary people cannot afford such thick rice porridge.

, not to mention the pickles, which is already very luxurious.

These days, ordinary people can't afford salt or rice porridge. They just eat some wild vegetables mixed with grains and cook it in a big pot. The clear soup is not watery and can't fill their stomachs at all. This is already a good life.

, at least they can still live. Many people can't even drink porridge with wild vegetables and whole grains. They chew tree bark, swallow Guanyin soil, and countless people starve to death.

After Hou Xibai finished his morning meal, he was not idle. As a new disciple, he needed to be responsible for some sundries. Perhaps because of his lack of literacy, he was assigned to the Sutra Pavilion, where he was responsible for cleaning and organizing Buddhist scriptures. Compared with

The other young monks were cleaning the temple, chopping firewood and jumping into the water, which was considered a good and easy job.

"Disciple Fahai has met Master Uncle Dayin!"

When Hou Xibai came to pay homage to Dashi Temple, he happened to be photographed by Fa Hai, whose name was Fa Hai. However, he had the same name as a monk with a bad temper who was always ready to use the mighty Tianlong.

Fortunately, Hou Xibai doesn't mind the duplication of names. After all, the name Fa Hai has an excellent meaning, with boundless power and wisdom like the sea. Hou Xibai thinks he can still bear this title.

Monk Dayin was the monk Hou Xibai saw that day. It was he who inspired Hou Xibai's vest plan and infiltrated into the Dashi Temple. He became a glorious Buddhist disciple and became a famous and upright sect in the future.

Monk Dayin opened his eyes, calm and calm, the aura around his body was warm and Zen-like. When he saw Hou Xibai, he said with a gentle smile in his eyes.
