Chapter 199

Seven delusions grew up in the temple and devoted themselves to the Buddha, but if it is true that the seven delusions believe in the true Buddha, it is better to say that the seven delusions believe in the master.

That was his Buddha, his lifelong faith.

Master has been as young as a day for decades, and he has never doubted that his Buddha should be immortal.

He never thought that Master would leave one day, but when Master did, he was not sad, not because he didn't believe in Master, nor because he was so hurt that he couldn't cry.

He just couldn't grieve, and even rejoiced in the Master's great rebellion, rejoicing that the Master was finally liberated.

The fire burned for a day and a night, the master's body had already turned into smoke and dust, and after the burial for the master, only two Buddha heart relics and a blood-soaked bead were left.

Except for himself, no one else has seen it.

Abbot Mingde and the monks recited the mantra for the master. The relics are enshrined in front of the Buddha, and the tablet of the master is enshrined in the name of the abbot in the side hall where the lock has been locked. It was also on that day that the young monks and pilgrims learned that the high-minded Master Youtan was actually the abbot of the Void Temple who had been hanging for many years.

On the second day of Master's death, the Seven Delirium set out for the stream. The stream is calm and clear, this stream once called the peach blossom stream, and after the peach blossom was defeated, it only called the stream, which he heard from an old man.

The dead trees on the other side are very large, with staggered roots and branches, and they are very old.

Qiyu has seen the beauty of the peach blossoms outside the Tilting Cave, but he still can't imagine the beauty of this tree in full bloom, and the country of flowers is afraid that it will cover half of the sky.

But now, there are only empty branches.

Qiyu tapped his toes, stepped across the stream, and took out the sachet in his arms, the sachet was very light, but he knew what it contained—two strands of green silk.

The red thread is wrapped in green silk, and the hair is tied together.

Directly facing the stream, he dug a hole under the tree with his bare hands, but unexpectedly touched a hard piece of hardness, and when he took it out, he had a box with concentric locks. The key hangs on the edge of the lock. Without thinking, Qi Delirium opened the box, the box was full, the rice paper was spread flat, the handwriting was graceful and elegant, and after just a glance, Seven Delirium knew that it was the handwriting of the female benefactor. At the same time as the rice paper, there was also a broken flute, and without much thought, Qiyu put the sachet in it and locked it. Bury the box back and cover it with earth.

After doing this, Qiyu knelt on the spot and kowtowed three times before getting up and planning to leave.

And at the moment when Qi Delusion turned around, the long-withered flower tree seemed to come to life, and in an instant, the branches sprouted and "snapped".

Seven turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that the dead trees went from withered to leafy, and then to bulge flower buds, and finally all the flower buds opened.

The flowers and trees are so big that they cover half of the shore, like pink clouds, dyeing half of the sky red. The water is clear and beautiful, like a fairyland.

Seven delusions looked at all this, full of amazement, looked at it, and finally burst into tears.

"Master. ”

The Master is a Buddha, the Buddha is a great love, the Buddha loves all beings, but he does not love only one person: but the Master is also a human being, and his little love is paid to one person and lost to another.

After a long time, Qi Delusion walked away, and before leaving, he seemed to have a feeling and glanced into the distance, but there was nothing. He shook his head and left.

When the seven delusions left, the figure in the distance gradually appeared.

"Sister Flower Demon, you and Master Youtan are now complete. "In the distance stood a woman in a pink dress, it was Scarlet Glass. The long green silk flew in the wind, the posture of the pavilion, looking at each other from afar, a trace of silver light flickered and fell into the stream, and the splash of "da" sounded.

Scarlet Glass stepped down the stone steps step by step, the long strands of hair on the side of her ears dancing in the wind, her steps were slow but firm, and she kept her head down and looked at her feet to look extraordinarily quiet. It's just that the depression and sadness that pervades the body make the believers around them can't help but look sideways.

"The female benefactor, the seven delusions are devoted to the Buddha, and she has never thought about any entanglement with the world. I hope the donor will not bother again. ”

The indifferent words of the Seven Delusions still echoed in their ears, and the pace of the scarlet glass became faster and faster, faster and faster, until in the end, the believers at the foot of the mountain could only see a touch of pink clothes floating quickly.

"You say, they really deserve to be masters and apprentices, they are all elm heads, they don't understand customs, they are so wooden, dull, and so hateful. Scarlet leaned against the dead tree, staring blankly at her own gloomy reflection in the stream and complaining, "But why, I like him, but it's him." The voice gradually lowered, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Scarlet's breathing slowed, and a tear crossed her sideburns, and landed on the grass with a "click". The autumn wind blew her long hair, and the grass on the ground, and the calm surface of the stream, and even the dead branches she clinged to.

Scarlet glass gradually fell asleep, and in the dream, it seemed that a pair of hands gently caressed the top of her head, gently caressing her frowning brows, as if trying to soothe the sorrow.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Scarlet Glass woke up leisurely, stood up with the help of the dead tree, looked at the lights on the top of the mountain in the distance, turned around and muttered: "His Buddha, his faith." When he shaved his degree, he became more like his master. Scarlet picked up a stone and threw it into the stream, making a "pop" sound. "It's all lumps of wood!" Scarlet Glass's voice couldn't help but carry some resentment, but in the end, she couldn't help choking.

"At that time, you saw him shaved with your own eyes, and you were silent about your questioning, are you like me at this moment, as if something was stuffed in your heart, blocked and painful? Scarlet Scarlet stroked the dry branches, pulled the corners of her mouth and chuckled, the bitterness in her eyes seemed to overflow.

"Don't bother anymore, don't bother anymore," Scarlet closed her eyes, frowned, and the hand at her side grabbed her dress. "How can I bear to stop bothering. ”

It took a long time to slowly turn around and leave with heavy steps.

Only a pearl glowed faintly on the grass.

In ancient times, there were sharks, crying into tears.

The evening breeze is getting stronger, and there seems to be a sigh that lasts for a long time.

*

"Donor, my Buddha is merciful, as long as you let go of the killing thoughts, you can accumulate good root merits, can the donor give the carp in the basket to the seven delusions, let the seven delusions release it. At that time, Qiyu was still a child, with long hair tied in a bun on the top of his head, as cute as a pink carving, but he was serious about persuading fishermen to release them, and his immature little face was full of seriousness.

I don't know if it was the Buddha's heart that infected the fisherman or the immature persistence that moved the fisherman, he handed the basket into the hands of Xiao Qiyu, looking at the immature but serious little face that couldn't hide the joy, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Youtan has a good apprentice, this little master must be a great virtue like a master in the future." ”

After thanking him seriously, Xiao Qiyu hurriedly ran to the stream and released several carp in the basket.

The carp quickly swam away as soon as they touched the water. Only a crimson koi swim in a circle, flick its tail, and pick up a few splashes before leaving leisurely.

That was the first time Scarlet Glass saw the Seven Deliriums. At that time, she had just learned to transform into shapes, and she had to turn back into her prototype due to physical exhaustion, but she was caught by a fisherman.

At that time, Scarlet only felt that the little boy who was smiling and watching them swim away in the sun while reciting "Amitabha" was very warm, just like the blue and shining sea illuminated by the sun.

It was the second time that Scarlet Glass suddenly wanted to understand someone.

"Scarlet Glass", the red carp, the human name she gave herself.

Many years later, she stopped the seven deliriums who were carrying water up the mountain and told him seriously, "My name is Scarlet Glass, and I am here to repay you." Then he looked at him with a blank look and smiled slyly.
