Chapter 44 The Secret in the Forty-third Buddhist Sutra

The most unattractive handwriting in Tianming Temple should be Jie Chen. I remember that last month a benefactor took a book published by Jie Chen and asked me to sign it. I wanted to sign my name on the white paper in front of the book. In case the benefactor couldn't take it anymore, he could tear it up without affecting the integrity of the book, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't feel the nerve to write it, so he had to find a chapter to cover it. Speaking of writing, of course Master Zhihui writes the most beautiful calligraphy in the temple. Master Zhihui's brush and pen calligraphy are like everyone's. The benefactors who come to the temple to solve the lottery will always carefully fold the note that Master Zhihui wrote to them. It's easy to put on your body.And if it is a signed letter of quitting hatred, the donors will choose to keep the words of quitting hatred in their hearts, and that note will be thrown away when they walk out of the door.

Master Zhihui's good words are also well-known among the donors who come to Tianming Temple to offer incense.A few years ago, a benefactor’s mother was celebrating her birthday. The benefactor couldn’t think of any gift to give, so he went up the mountain and asked Master Zhihui to copy a scripture for him as a gift for his mother. The benefactor’s mother was very happy after receiving the gift. I was very happy, and showed off Master Zhihui's handwriting to fellow practitioners.As a result, since then, every few days, some benefactors came up to the mountain to ask Master Zhihui for calligraphy. Sometimes there were too many benefactors who came to ask for calligraphy, and the scriptures they asked for were very thick, but Master Zhihui was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to let the begging The benefactors lined up and helped them write in seal script in order.

Master Zhihui would put the scriptures handed over to him by the donors on the small table where the lottery was unwrapped. When he had free time, he would copy a few scriptures. Occasionally, there are donors from other places who don't know the truth, because they can't wait for Master's writing, they want to ask Jie Chen to write for him. Jie Chen always apologizes in a hurry and refuses. I remember that one time when Master Zhihui went down the mountain due to an emergency, Jie An took the place of Master to release the lottery for the donors.There were very few donors who came to the temple that day, Jie Chen sat at Master Zhihui's small table, flipping through the scriptures on Master Zhihui's table.

Those few books were the mother copies provided by the benefactor to Master Zhihui to copy the scriptures. One of them looks very old, the binding style is different from the current scriptures, and the text is also in traditional Chinese characters. . Looking at it, Jie Chen suddenly felt that there was something different in the book. He read it against the sun and found that there were some invisible words mixed in the middle of the normal scriptures. It was engraved with a pen. Jie An hurriedly called Jie Ao, and Jie Ao looked at the light, also feeling curious.Then I said, I remember reading Jin Yong’s novels before, saying that there is a very powerful martial arts "Nine Suns Scripture" that was first recorded between the lines of the "Langa Sutra". Could it be that this ancient scripture also hides mystery? ?

Although Jie Chen felt that what Jie Ao said was very doubtful, he also became curious. Maybe this book really recorded some powerful martial arts classics, and maybe even an even more powerful "Sunflower Treasure Book".It's better to find it out, and it's not bad to use it to compete with the brothers in Shaolin Temple in the future. Jie Ao originally wanted to get some dust to cover the paper to read those contents, but he was worried that he would damage the book brought by the benefactor, so he gave up. Jie Chen and Jie Ao looked carefully at the sunlight, their eyes hurt from seeing it, and they couldn't make out many words.We took a lot of effort to write these intermittent words on the note, but the connection was just ordinary words, and we didn't see any profoundness.

When Master Zhihui returned to the monastery in the evening, we told him about it, and Master Zhihui was also very interested. While holding our note, he read the book carefully. After a while, he suddenly smiled.He said that the text in the gap is not some martial arts secret book, but that in the past few days, when he was copying the scriptures, he put the scriptures under the signature slip, and some of the words on the note were printed on the book through the paper. superior. Junior brother Jie Chen and Jie Ao looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that the result of a foolish toss all afternoon turned out to be like this.

In the past few days, we were laughed at by our brothers for several days because of this incident. Although our wish to learn martial arts with the Shaolin brothers was in vain, the brothers Jie Chen and Jie Ao did not feel too sad. When things fail, if we only care about the fruitless ending, of course we will be depressed, but if we experience the joy of the process, how can we still be frustrated? We just feel that we have nothing after working hard. In fact, there is no real fruitlessness in this world. You get it, but you forget it.
