The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Master is the abbot of the temple?"

Wang Shouren asked.

The old monk shook his head and said, "Monk is just a sweeping monk in the temple."

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "We are in a hurry and ask you to host it."

The middle-aged monk wearing cassocks on the side bowed slightly to Wang Shouren and said: "Senior brother is the person with the highest understanding of Buddhism in the temple. As long as you defeat senior brother, you will be considered a winner."

The discussion began, and the monks were looking forward to the old monk's sermon.

Wang Shouren first said: "Buddhists often meditate, I would like to ask how to understand, quiet?"

The old monk closed his eyes, but muttered something: "Quietness means that the mind is as calm as water, not lost in the world, not chaotic in the world, not stained by the world, not trapped by the chaos of the world, that is tranquility."

"I have different opinions." Wang Shouren continued: "Staticness refers to the essence of the heart, and movement refers to the wonderful function of the heart.

When you are quiet, you can feel the emptiness. The emptiness is not nothing, but has an endless motivation that can correspond to the Tao. Only when your heart is silent and unmoving can you feel and understand it.

Therefore, if you have the intention to seek tranquility, you are tempted.

The mind that hates movement is not truly still. It can be called: moving is also moving, and stillness is also moving.

Therefore, true tranquility means obeying the laws of things, while obeying desires is movement.

Master meditates every day to seek tranquility, which is a desire in itself. Your heart has already been moved, so how can you find tranquility? "

The monk next to him was confused and had no idea what Wang Shouren was talking about.

It sounds like this nerd has been talking about Jing. Isn't Jing the daily meditation?

Sitting on the futon, motionless, going to get food when the meal was served, continuing to meditate after the meal, motionless, going to get the meal again when the meal was served...

The old monk opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him tremblingly as if he had seen a ghost.

"You...dare to ask Master, who do you study under?"

Wang Shouren said: "This is a principle that I have learned through meditation, and no master has ever taught it."

The old monk and the abbot looked at each other and wished they could kidnap Wang Shouren and stay in the temple as a monk.

What a pity!

Such a person with Buddha roots is actually in the imperial court.

Liu Jin asked fiercely: "Don't try to cause trouble! Old bald donkey, has our master won?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Wang Shouren: "The master's understanding of the Tao is so high that the poor monk has given up."

Wang Shouren said hurriedly: "The warrior monks who have returned to the temple will go down the mountain with me and defeat the Japanese pirates!"

The host shouted: "Tianbao, lead the monks in the temple and follow me down the mountain."

The monk holding a long stick walked out of the crowd and bowed to the host and the old monk with one hand: "Disciple, obey!"

Twenty monks from the temple accompanied Wang Shouren down the mountain. However, none of them had horses. It would take at least a day and a night to get to the Jinshan Guardhouse.

"Sir, can you tell me, the young monk, what is moving when you are moving, and moving when you are still?" Monk Tianbao asked.

Wang Shouren took advantage of the time when he was coming down the mountain to start talking about his understanding of mind science.

"Monk Tianbao, how is your kung fu?" Liu Jin asked tentatively.

Monk Tianbao felt a little ashamed: "The young monk knows some sticks and fists, but he is not as powerful as the sweeping monk in the temple."

Liu Jin patted his thigh and said regretfully: "You mean that old bald donkey?"

At night, the group rested in the forest. Liu Jin lit a bonfire and cooked a delicious meal for everyone.

………

Jinshan Health Center,

Zuo Zongyi was a little nervous. The Japanese pirates lost a large ship and damaged more than 200 people, so they would definitely take revenge.

But what is certain is that he will not come to Jinshan Health Center.

Most of the people in the county were poor. Even among the gentry, none had more than ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and they were surrounded by military fields.

After leaving Xiao Qidao, he sent two canoes to keep an eye on the sea.

"Sir, the Japanese pirates are here!" The guard ran in in panic.

Zuo Zongyi was a little surprised.

The Jinshan Guardhouse was so poor that it still needed help from the court. What were the Japanese pirates doing here?

"Oops, big ship!"

At the port of Jinshan Guardhouse, two large ships were parked.

One is from Qingjiang Shipyard, and the other was just snatched back a few days ago.

The Japanese pirates must have come for these two large ships.

Zuo Zongyi brought a monocular telescope and found in his field of vision that four black spots on the sea were slowly enlarging.

He could clearly see the symbols on the sails. Ships with a size of two or more were not allowed to go to sea, except for Japanese pirates.

There is no doubt that they are Japanese pirates.

"Zhenhai Guards and Jinshan Guards are all on alert and will follow their officers to meet the enemy."

At this time, it was too late to sail away. The four ships were surrounding them, leaving no blind spots.

In just a quarter of an hour, you will reach the shallows.

He counted the number of people and said angrily: "There were 800 people yesterday, why are there only 600 left!"

"I heard the Japanese pirates were coming and ran away!" the guard said in a panic.

Zuo Zongyi sighed, that bastard Wang Shouren also ran away, right?

"Whoever dares to retreat in a moment, I will kill him first!

If you kill a real Japanese, you will get fifty taels of silver for each head. If you kill a Congwa, you will get ten taels of silver for each head.

After the fight, you can come to me to collect the money! "

Zuo Zongyi shouted confidently.

Even though there were 600 people, fighting with the Japanese pirates was like chopping watermelons. He might not be able to get the money himself.

But what can be done?

Four large ships stopped on the shoal. The Japanese pirates jumped out of the ship and rushed toward the Jinshan Guard soldiers.

The real Japanese pulled out the Japanese sword, and the silver light shone brightly. Before the battle began, several soldiers were frightened and ran away.

Zuo Zongyi drew his sword and killed them all.

"Whoever dares to run, I will kill him first!"

The soldiers saw that running would mean death, and rushing forward would also mean death, so they simply stood still.

Zuo Zongyi knew kung fu. Although he was a civil official, he was very skilled.

He fought the real Japanese evenly.

He dropped the knife in his hand. To be precise, before they had fought for a few rounds, the knife was cut off by the ronin.

From the corner of his eye, the soldiers were slowly falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Kill him first!"

Asano Katsu shouted and called several ronin over.

This man was wearing a peacock scarlet robe, and he was obviously a high-ranking official. Killing such a high-ranking official was the honor of a samurai.

"Today, my confidant is not with me. Do you dare to come back in three days?"

Zuo Zongyi held a long spear.

He was not afraid of death. The most important thing at the moment was to save the two large ships. The real Japanese samurai was very proud, and maybe he could really fool them.

"Kill him!"

The three real Japanese rushed forward.

Zuo Zongyi's left eyelid twitched, and he cursed in his heart, "You're about to be chopped to death, what does it mean for your left eyelid to twitch?"

A long arrow came through the air!

Whoosh!

It pierced the chest of a real Japanese.

Zuo Zongyi saw a group of bald monks, who came out of nowhere, about one or two hundred people, holding all kinds of weapons, but no bows.

He was stunned to see Wang Shouren sitting on a big horse, holding a bow in his hand, and shooting another arrow.

"Did this kid go to recruit monk soldiers?"

These monks were extremely powerful. Although they had no rules and formations, they were in a mess, but they beat the Japanese pirates back again and again.

The Japanese pirates had no idea where these monks came from, and each of them had good martial arts.

"These monks have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they are no different from the Japanese pirates' ronin warriors."

Wang Shouren thought to himself.

He saw the Japanese archers pulling their bows, so he also pulled his bow and shot at the archers.

Liu Jin hid behind Wang Shouren and was happy: "The Japanese pirates sent four large ships, and there are three left. Let's find them all. Don't kill them all, leave some alive."
