Feng Junzi asked back, "Now there is a vicious dog that bites people everywhere. Its owner can't control it. What should others do with this dog? I think there are two ways. The first way is to tie the dog chain and put it on a chewy piece. The second way is to simply chop the dog stewed soup. Now the dog is grinning and can't tie it into a chain. In the future, when I stew the dog soup, there is nothing to say. I am giving Zhongnan a face and giving myself a step."

"Hey, when you were talking just now, I remember you said that even if Zhongnan climbs to the peak, you have to call you uncle. Is that true? Then I have become Qiye's elder?"

Feng Junzi: "That's what I said, let him be honest, don't take it seriously. Besides, there are rumors in the world that you are already the elder of Qiye. Don't forget that He Xi from Zhengyi's family called you junior brother."

"Don't mention this... You went to see him just now, aren't you afraid that he will turn against you?"

Feng Junzi: "Why are you afraid, why aren't you afraid? Otherwise, why would I do with Hei Ruyi? You still want to hide aside!... He will not accept my advice, nor will he easily fight me. These are all within my expectations."

"What if I'm talking about, what if he really takes action?"

Feng Junzi: "Then I have to push you in front as a sandbag. I hide behind and knock Hei Ruyi on the head. But, it's best not to make a big deal to this point. If he hurts you, it's not good for me to kill him."

"He hurt me? You killed him? It seems that you are fine after all? Well, I have a question I have been asking these days, if you really fight Qiye, are you above him?"

Feng Junzi glared at me, thought for a while and replied, "It's hard to say, it mainly depends on you. If I have Hei Ruyi, I don't have to be afraid of him, at least I can stand in an invincible position, but it's hard for you to kill such a person. Today I don't want to do it, and he doesn't want to do it either. Otherwise, once I take action, it's a fight of trapped beasts, and the outcome of the victory or defeat is not a good thing. If this matter is so simple, I will come to him from all over to talk nonsense?... In fact, I feel very complicated when facing him."

"Look at mine? Why do you think about mine? Also, what's wrong with him? I remember you said that some parts of him look like you, why didn't I see it?"

Feng Junzi: "What are you doing when you ask so much? Don't you look at me if you don't look at you? Qiye wasn't it that I provoked... This place is not far from your Shizhu Village, right? Go to your village and find Grandpa Jin, and ask him to help me see the wounds."

"Your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Feng Junzi: "The old saying goes, it is not so easy to get hurt for a hundred days? I feel chest pain every few days after I get active. I really have to find a doctor to treat it. Otherwise, there is no need to let you stay with me all the time today."

"Then you go and find Sister Ziying."

Feng Junzi: "You don't understand. It's better to find Grandpa Jin than to find her."

"Just go like this, I'm afraid you may not be able to see Grandpa Jin may go into the mountain to collect herbs."

Feng Junzi: "Do he often go to the mountains to collect herbs? Do you not come back at night?"

"Grandpa Jin often goes to the mountains to collect herbs all year round, and sometimes he goes there for several days. Speaking of which, he doesn't spend a lot of time in the village."

Feng Junzi: "Then I'll try my luck. Besides, you have to go home and explain something to your parents."

"Explain what?"

Feng Junzi: "The restaurant will be open soon. You are the boss, and this matter cannot be hidden. You'd better say hello to them now. Why did a high school student open a restaurant for no reason? It's better to make things happen and don't scare your family."

Feng Junzi is lucky. Grandpa Jin didn't go out at home today. Daguai heard our footsteps and ran out of the yard with his tail to greet him. It seemed that he was very intimate with Feng Junzi. Feng Junzi knocked on its nose and pulled its ears and it was very useful. Grandpa Jin was surprised to see the two of us coming, and asked with a smile why I remembered to go home today. I pointed to Feng Junzi and said, "Grandpa Jin, Feng Junzi has been injured recently. I always feel chest pain. I want to see you."

Grandpa Jin looked Feng Junzi up and down for a long time, but seemed to have no idea. He asked him to sit at the table, put one hand on his hand, and pinched his beard to take his pulse. He asked while taking the pulse: "Why are you restless at a young age? Fighting with others."

Feng Junzi: "It's unfair, I never fight with others."

Grandpa Jin: "Then what's going on with your injury?"

Feng Junzi: "It's a long story, it's a disaster. That day I was walking by the roadside. A farmer brother pulled a donkey cart into the city to deliver vegetables. The donkey was shocked for some reason and suddenly ran away. He saw a big girl hitting the front. I bravely acted and pushed the donkey, but was kicked by the donkey."

Grandpa Jin: "Oh, so that's it. Your injury is really like being kicked by a donkey. It's really hard for you. I have such kindness at a young age. Let me see the donkey's hoof prints."

Feng Junzi: "Grandpa Jin, don't praise me. As long as that girl is fine, I will feel relieved. Donkey's hoof prints? The donkey has no nails, my clothes are thick and no scars are left."

Grandpa Jin: "Then you have to look at it, lift up your clothes quickly."

Feng Junzi had no choice but to take off his coat and lift his underwear to his chest. Grandpa Jin looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything. He reached out and touched it a few times, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not too serious. Let's do this, I'll prescribe you a prescription, you go to the city to get the medicine. Go home and drink it. One dose early and one dose later, and it will be fine for ten days."

Feng Junzi: "Can't I take medicine from you?"

Grandpa Jin: "I don't have those medicines here, but there must be them in the pharmacy. You'd better go back to the city to catch them."

Grandpa Jin brought a brush and wrote a prescription. Feng Junzi took it over and praised, "What a magical calligraphy, it is really from the hands of extraordinary people. No wonder Shi Ye's handwriting is so beautiful!" He put the prescription in his pocket, said goodbye with me, and came to my house again. My mother went to the market and didn't come back, only her sister was at home.

My sister was overjoyed when she saw me: "Brother, why are you home today? Feng Junzi, are you here too? Wait, I'll call my dad back, he's working in the field."

When my sister went out, I looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. Usually, my father hadn't come home yet. I sat there and greeted Feng Junzi for tea. I found that Feng Junzi was looking at me with a smile. I knew what he was thinking in his heart, and my feeling was also strange at this moment.

I now have a house and a shop in the city, and soon I will become the owner of a big restaurant. However, neither the house nor the shop was mine at first, and I was just a middle school student working in a noodle restaurant. The Zhiwei Building that is about to appear was not mine from beginning to end, but I would probably own shares. If I counted this way, I can be considered a rich man in the city. Although I can't compare with the rich, I am at least much better than ordinary people. Such a person, his father is still working in the fields, and his mother is still carrying a basket to the market to sell things, which seems really inappropriate.

But I am a rich man, and now I only have one sum of money in my pocket, which is a savings of more than 2,000 yuan. Of course, I still have an allowance of eighty yuan a month. As for the other nominal wealth, I don’t feel anything, at least I don’t bring anything to me now. Of course, if I want to spend money, I can ask Sister Ziying for it, but I can’t speak, and that money is not what I earned by myself. So Feng Junzi heard that my father was still working in the field, and would look at me with such a look, as if asking.

I felt very sad and couldn't help but ask him: "Feng Junzi, what if you were me?"

Feng Junzi thought for a while: "If I were you, I wouldn't be able to make any major changes now. But in the future, Zhiwei Building will open, and if you have money to make money, you can tell your parents about the changes. Then you can subsidize your family more. As long as they are willing to accept it, this kind of thing can only be done with the flow. So the key now is, how can you open a restaurant? What do you think about it?"

While talking, my father was already back. He went to the kitchen to fetch water and washed the soil on his hands in the yard, and went into the house to greet the guests. There were few classmates and friends in my family. Only Feng Junzi, Teacher Liu, Sister Ziying, and our director Fang Zhouzi. The villagers were simple and all the guests came, so of course they had to be well treated. My father first greeted Feng Junzi, told him to stay for dinner, and asked his sister to go to the market to call his mother back to cook.

Feng Junzi waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Ishino still has something to do at six o'clock in the evening, so I'm afraid there will be no time to have supper."

The father said, "Ishino goes to do something if you have something to do. You must stay for dinner when you come here... Ono, why are you here to come home today?"

Before I could speak, Feng Junzi said first: "Uncle Shi, I am here to congratulate you. Your Shi Ye has done a few great things this time, and he has done good deeds and has made money. Ask him..."

My father was confused and looked at me with a questioning look. Feng Junzi's lies came when he opened his mouth. He pointed at me, and then looked at me, seeing how I said it. I thought about it for a while, and then continued his words: "That's the case. One night I was walking by the river behind the school and met a gangster robbing someone's things. As a result, they started to fight, and the man was pushed into the river by the gangster. The gangster ran away, and I went down the river to rescue the man."

Hearing this, my father asked worriedly: "Have the gangster caught? Ono, are you okay?"

"The gangster was not caught, of course I'm fine. Look, aren't I doing well now?"

While talking, my sister and my mother also went home, and rushed back from the market a few miles away. When they came in, they heard our conversation and came over to ask me about the process of "being bravely". My mother patted her chest and said, "Amitabha, fortunately Ono is fine."

The sister said, "Of course I'm fine, my brother is so handsome."

The father said, "Don't interrupt...what is going to be honest with the money?"

I glanced at Feng Junzi, who understood it and replied to me: "That was a few days ago. Shi Ye picked up a bag at the school gate. When I opened it, I saw that it was full of documents, documents, and contracts. Anyway, it was a pile of waste paper, without a penny. He actually waited foolishly until it was dark until the owner came to me. What do you think? The person who threw the thing was the chairman of Rongdao Group. The waste paper in the bag was very important and worth a lot of money. The man wanted to thank Shi Ye for a lot of money, but Shi Ye didn't want it..."

The father said, "It's right not to ask for it. It's right for our farmers to do this kind of thing. What happened later?"

Feng Junzi smiled and said, "I don't know much about what happened later. You have to ask Shino himself. Isn't there such a restaurant?"

Father: "Dinner? Why did you get involved in the restaurant again?"

Feng Junzi's words were too jumping, so he jumped directly to the restaurant. I had to follow him and say: "Later?... Later, I didn't expect that the person who threw the things and the person who fell into the water actually knew each other! They... They were planning to open a restaurant together, but they had not found a business project yet, and they had not decided who to hire for management."

Feng Junzi continued: "That day, they went to Boss Han's hotel together to find Shi Ye to express their gratitude. They tasted the wine and dishes in the hotel and praised them. They must invite Shi Ye to join and open that restaurant together."

Father: "Not right? You should invite Boss Han and Ishino. Ishino is just a guy."

Feng Junzi coughed: "The wine and food that day were made by Shi Ye, and Boss Han went out if he had something to do."

The sister finally couldn't help but speak: "When will my brother cook? What dish did you cook that day?"

I could only answer with a thick face: "It's nothing, it's just a dish of braised lamb, which I usually learn from Sister Ziying."

The mother also asked: "Do they want you to be a chef in a restaurant?...Ono, you should study hard and take the college entrance exam in the future. Now your family is not in trouble and you don't need to go out so early to make money. Didn't you agree?"

"No, you misunderstood. They didn't want me to be a chef, they wanted to give me shares in the restaurant, but they just wanted me to take care of me if I had time."

The father said, "They opened their own restaurant and didn't take care of them?"

Feng Junzi interrupted again: "Those are all big bosses. Did you hear it just now? Chairman of Rongdao Group! What is a small restaurant? How can you ask for it in person? Of course, I have to ask someone to be the manager."

The father pondered and said, "Ono, these two people gave you the shares in the restaurant. I'm afraid they didn't like your little skills. They were purely kindness and were considered a good person. You are a student, what kind of restaurant manager? I think it's better to forget it, thank you and study hard."

The mother also said, "Aren't you a helper in Boss Han's hotel? What should Boss Han do if you leave? The girl is so nice to you, you can't say hello."

I looked at Feng Junzi again. Feng Junzi looked at the ceiling without saying anything. I could only say, "You heard it wrong. In fact, the manager of the restaurant is either me or Sister Ziying. They asked Sister Ziying to be the restaurant manager, and Sister Ziying agreed, so I would go and help Sister Ziying."

The father said, "If that is the case, it should be. However, don't delay your studies. I think you don't want those shares."

The mother said again: "Stocks? Is it just dividends? If they really want to give it to you, you can't ask for too much."

Feng Junzi finally took his eyes from the ceiling and said with a smile: "The restaurant has not opened yet, so you should discuss it first. It is not up to Shi Ye to decide on this matter, so it is also necessary to continue to help Boss Han. Also, since he is a helper, it is also necessary to get wages. Shi Ye should not get wages, and it is reasonable to get some dividends. Shi Ye should have shares, this was taught by the ancient sage Confucius..."

Feng Junzi's last sentence, let alone my parents and sister, even I was confused. What does it have to do with Confucius when I took shares? I only heard his father ask him: "You are all knowledgeable people, and I don't read much. But what does Ono have to do with Confucius?"

Feng Junzi: "Tell you a story. Confucius had a student who did a good deed and the other party thanked him, but he refused. Confucius criticized him when he knew it. Why? This principle is simple, simple, complicated and complicated. People say that good deeds are rewarded, so what they do must make the people believe in this. Of course, Ishino did good deeds not for the benefit of good deeds, but if people who do good deeds always do not have good rewards, wouldn't that be sorry to the kind-hearted people in the world? Confucius did not ask students to accept other people's things, but to teach him the principle of "good reward". Only in this way can the world be gradually rewarded to good deeds. Therefore, I think Ishino must accept shares in the restaurant, otherwise I will be sorry to the saints' teachings."

Feng Junzi's words sounded like he was talking at first, but when he thought about it carefully, the truth was very deep, and the hat was quite big, which made my parents blink. My father scratched his head and said, "Scholars have the truth of scholars. Since that's the case, I won't say much..."

Feng Junzi smiled again and said, "Are you afraid that he will delay his studies? Don't worry, Shino has made more progress in his studies this semester, and the teacher thinks he can get the first place in the class." This sentence made our whole family smile, and the matter in the restaurant was just vague. It's really not easy to sing with Feng Junzi, and I was almost sweating on my forehead.

Originally, Feng Junzi and I planned to rush back immediately, but my parents must not let us leave hungry. I am afraid there will be no hurry to have dinner, so my mother rolled two bowls of soba noodles, put two eggs in each bowl, and mixed them with their own broad bean sauce, which tasted very fragrant.

After eating the noodles, Feng Junzi and I went out to rush back to Wucheng. When we passed by the foot of Zhaoting Mountain, Feng Junzi stopped and looked at the mountain with a very complicated expression. I asked him what was wrong? He said thoughtfully: "I'm wondering if it's really a ruthless plant?" This sentence was not what he said to me, but he was talking to himself.

...

On November 26, 1990, Abbot Fayuan of Jiulin Zen Temple finally finished speaking all the thirty-second chapters of the Diamond Sutra. After the Dharma Assembly ended, Fayuan left me alone and sat there and asked me: "Shi Ye, you are already famous among the practitioners in Wucheng today. When I first met you last year, you were still ordinary. This year, it seems that you have had many adventures."

As the saying goes, a word can be a teacher. I listened to Fayuan’s scriptures for a month and should be polite no matter what: “Master, that incident was a misunderstanding.”

Fayuan shook his head: "It can't be considered a misunderstanding. When I saw you in the mountains, you were weak all over your body, and the mountain god behind you was possessed by a dark object. A practitioner like me would take action no matter what. I am different from my senior brother Fahai. When practicing Zen in the world, I always have to ask about worldly affairs. This is somewhat similar to my second senior brother Fa Ling."

Fayuan mentioned his second senior brother Fa Ling, who was the anti-Japanese hero Wang Jinling before liberation. I echoed: "Everyone in Wucheng knows the deeds of Master Fa Ling in Guimiao, and I admire him very much. Master, thank you for explaining the scriptures to me over the past few days, and I have gained a lot."

Fayuan: "I'll ask you to come to Jiulin Zen Temple. There is a reason for this. One reason is that my junior brother, Master Facheng, had an appointment with others, and the other is that I owe you a favor. Last time I took action against you in Zhaoting Mountain, Is it a monk? Is it a monk? I ask you, have you obtained the achievements of the Śrāvakas in the supernatural powers of the ears?"

I nodded: "I got it, I got it on the first day."

Fayuan: "Even if I pay back my favor, you will be very lucky. If someone else intervenes in Zhaoting Mountain, I will just ask. It's just that my junior brother Facheng's affairs, you must be careful to deal with it."

I was confused because I still didn't know what Facheng had to look for me. I asked in confusion: "What did Master Facheng have to look for me? Can't it be solved with the supernatural powers of the monks in Jiulin Zen Temple?"

Fayuan said: "My junior brother Facheng, I have been different from others since I was a child. He came to you not for himself, but for my senior brother Fahai. Senior brother Fahai has a profound Zen skills and has been in meditation for more than 59 years, but Facheng thought he had lost it and wanted to find him back. He met a naughty boy in the market a few days ago and asked, "Where is the monk from?", and then he thought of his senior brother Fahai again. The young man told him that you can help him find his senior brother, but he lacked his practice and was experiencing disasters on earth, so he secretly helped you and asked you to go to Jiulin Zen Temple to listen to the Dharma. He grew up in a temple and always felt that everyone in the world should have a connection with the Buddha."

Fayuan's words not only did not relieve my doubts, but instead made me feel like I heard the heavenly book. Fahai was lost? I could find him back! Why did Feng Junzi say such words to Facheng?

"Didn't Master Fahai still sit in the temple properly? How could I get him back?"

Fayuan: "Senior Brother Fahai has been sitting for decades without asking about worldly affairs. There are so many repetitions in the world. This is his practice. Although I think it is a bit inappropriate, I dare not destroy his practice without authorization. My junior brother Facheng is different from me. He always feels that the Zen mentioned by the Buddha should not be like the practice of Senior Brother Fahai, so he always wants to find him back. How can the senior brother find him in meditation? This is not as simple as waking him up. If he asks you for help, I hope you can deal with it carefully. I won't say anything extra."

...

"Feng Junzi, what are you doing? You actually told Facheng that I could find Fahai! How can I find it?" This was the night that day, and I met Feng Junzi Yin Shen at the Zhuangyuan Bridge again. This day was our appointment because Fayuan's Diamond Sutra was finished.

Feng Junzi: "How can you know if you can do it if you don't try it? Actually, I'm as curious as Facheng. What did the old monk want to do after sitting for decades? I'm sure he didn't become a Buddha. Even the Japanese entered the village and the junior brother didn't move. Was he really lost?"

"Are you curious why you didn't help yourself, but asked me to do it?"

Feng Junzi: "Last time you talked to me about the World Sect Conference, I also went to inquire. What do you think of the result? In the last World Sect Conference, the one who won the championship in the battle was Fahai of Jiulin Zen Temple! After Fahai's cultivation level surpassed the world, he actually chose not to ask about the world. What kind of cultivation is this? Of course I am interested! And next year's sect conference, do you know who the winner will be?"

I once asked Mr. Zhang this question, but Mr. Zhang refused to ask me. Hearing this, I asked him back: "Can it be Qiye?"

Feng Junzi: "If Qiye attends the sect conference, then he will undoubtedly be the best in the world."

"Are you so sure? People like Shuzheng and Living Buddha, can't their cultivation level be as good as Qiye?"

Feng Junzi smiled: "Although I heard you say about the sect meeting, I later learned more rules than you. Every sect meeting is a communication between the disciples of the same generation, and the elders will not take action. For example, next year's sect meeting will be like the Ze generation of Zhengyi, the seven generation of the Zhongnan sect, and Zhang Zhi. Hexi, Hechen, Chongfeng, Dingwen, Facheng, Fayuan, and even Shang Yunfei and Mr. Zhang will not take action with the younger generation. However, the true man of Shouzheng, Ge Jujizan Living Buddha, did not take action at the last sect meeting. Those people were no match for Qiye."

"So that's it. So what does this have to do with Fahai?"

Feng Junzi: "What is the difference between the world's number one sixty years ago and the world's number one now? This is the relationship I want to know. And you are helping Facheng find senior brother, now there is no hurry, just before and after the sect meeting. You don't know how to find it, but I don't know. The practice of Buddhism is different from you and me, but there is a level of similarity, which is the true void heavenly calamity you are about to face. You don't have to pass this heavy heavenly calamity, and Fahai's affairs may be your worldly human calamity. Since it is a human calamity, it's useless for you to ask more questions...Okay, let's not mention this matter for now. Have you finished listening to all the thirty-two-grade Diamond Sutra today?"

"I've finished listening."

Feng Junzi: "What is the Diamond Sutra talking about?"

"I think--actually, nothing is said."

Feng Junzi: "Oh, then what have you heard?"

"The word Buddha is said in the scriptures - if you see me with your appearance and seek me with your voice, you will be a person who is following the evil path and cannot see the Tathagata. Since the Tathagata is not visible, of course he will not say anything."

Feng Junzi: "What is Tathagata?"

"The Tathagata has nowhere to come from and nowhere to go, so it is called Tathagata."

Feng Junzi blinked: "What should I do? What did the Buddha say?"

"The Buddha finally said that all conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, and should be viewed like this."

Feng Junzi: "How to understand the word "profit"?"

"Everything in the world that can be seen, known, touched, heard, conceived, and is all active."

Feng Junzi sighed and said, "It seems that you really understand, I understand, and the source of the preaching. But judging from your appearance, you have not become a Buddha?"

"Of course I have not become a Buddha, nor have the source of Dharma."

Feng Junzi: "You and I understand are all understandings of the meaning of the scriptures, not real verification and enlightenment. Sometimes when you hear monks preaching Buddhism, it feels like you are listening to the speeches of the party and government leaders who are serving the people. When talking about practice, laymen are often prone to making this mistake. They talk about it very well, but they are just empty talk. Saying it is good, saying it is bad, saying it has, and saying it does not, you have to come in first, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much you say it. Take the 'delusion' I teach you as an example. People in the world can use thousands of words to talk about the 'delusion mind', but they have not experienced it, and they have no real experience in it."

Feng Junzi mentioned breaking the delusion, and I also remembered the serious things: "Feng Junzi, I have finished listening to the scriptures. Should I go and pick up Liu Yiyi from the delusion?"

Feng Junzi: "Time has come, but there is one thing to do first. Shi Ye, you will accompany me to find Han Ziying tomorrow. I have one thing to discuss with you two. After the discussion, you will pick up Liu Yiyi."

"Why? What does this have to do with Sister Ziying?"

Feng Junzi: "Have you ever thought about it? If Liu Yiyi could leave Zhaoting Mountain, how would you plan to give her a foothold in this world?"

Feng Junzi's words stunned me. I had never thought about this issue carefully before! If Liu Yiyi could leave Zhaoting Mountain, what identity could she return to this world?

...

"Boss, if Zhiwei Building opened, would you help Shi Ye?" This was the lunch time of the next day. Feng Junzi asked Sister Ziying, and I sat aside.

Sister Ziying: "Of course I have to go to Zhiweilou. Zhang Zhi said that the manager of this restaurant still needs me to do it. If it is Shiye's restaurant, I would be willing to be this manager."

Feng Junzi: "Then I will call you Manager Han. May I ask Manager Han, what should I do if you go to Zhiweilou? Is it okay to close the door like this?"

Han Ziying smiled, and she looked at Feng Junzi: "You asked me this, but you have plans in your heart. What are you planning to use this place?"

Feng Junzi: "Talking to smart people is easy to deal with, and you can easily understand it at a glance. I want to borrow this store for use, but the restaurant is no longer open, I want to open a tea room."

Sister Ziying: "Has Senior Luxue agreed to you?"
Chapter completed!
