Chapter Twenty-Three: The White Clothes Win the Snow
"Woooooo
Zhong Xin rang in unison, drums sounded, this is the big day of the Bright Festival of Jiucang Temple in Jiucang Mountain. Zhu Jiujiu stood quietly outside the mountain gate of Jiucang Temple, letting the slightly sultry wind in the mountains blow the white clothes tightly around his body, and even the beads of sweat on his forehead that gradually densed wet the distant mountain-like eyebrows and soaked the sideburns, he didn't notice it.
"How?"
"The emperor is worthy of being the Emperor of Light. Zhu Jiujiu smiled self-deprecatingly, only felt powerless to the extreme, she once thought that the so-called Emperor of Light was just a disguise played by an old liar who was unwilling, even if the old guy did a lot of surprising things, and could even be described as crazy, but from beginning to end, in her eyes, this guy known as the emperor was just blowing a big flag, until this white-clothed Shengxue today, she really really understood why that old guy would finally choose such a name, here, it is the dojo once chosen by the man who was once known as the King of Fudong, here, called Xiaoguangding, here, just outside the mountain gate of Jiucang Temple, just beside her and He Qi, there were countless outstretched arms, and in their shouts, Zhu Jiujiu heard only one name, that is: "King Fudo Ming!"
"At that time, he was just the king of Fudo. He Qi's white clothes trembled, there seemed to be a faint smile under the veil, he stood quietly beside Zhu Jiujiu, closed his eyes, and quietly breathed the faint pine breath in the mountains, and after a long time, he said slowly: "It's a pity, wrong is wrong, even if it looks like this, it's wrong." ”
"So you want to prove it to him?" Zhu Jiujiu bit his lip, turned his head suddenly, stared at He Qi's eyes, and said word by word: "He Qi, can I still trust you?"
"Absolutely. He Qi chuckled: "As always, this is my promise." ”
"Standing here today, I want to ask you a word. Zhu Jiujiu took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up his courage, looked at He Qi's eyes and said, "Are you, did you lie to me, you and them, originally, were originally together." ”
"And who will live by honesty, people like us, deceiving, and just habit, believe in this reason, you will accept it. He Qi smiled slightly, nodded, and then said: "Xiaoguangding this place, there are many secrets, some words, there is no need to say it, so, you need to open your eyes yourself, those things you see, may not be true, but they may not be fake, I and them, indeed, have some origins, it's just that this question may be asked too early, we seem to have a good show, I haven't seen it." ”
"Definitely. Zhu Jiujiu was slightly stunned, his expression was gloomy and bleak, and he lowered his head and muttered: "For people like us, deception, like oxygen and fresh water, cannot be lacking for a moment..."
"It's not that simple thing, it's drugs..."He Qi looked at Zhu Jiujiu's eyes seriously, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said slowly as if talking to himself: "Accustomed to the same drugs, or rather, it is called self-confidence, we use lies to create a world that does not exist, and then bring this world to anyone we like, this feeling, high up, omnipotent, like, the creator general... Beautiful and powerful, slowly, this feeling, so strong that it can make faith change, change, worthless. ”
"Are you doubting my beliefs, so you never believed me?" Zhu Jiujiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the resentments in her heart suddenly turned into anger, she stared intently at He Qi's confused and distracted face, and said angrily: "Who is it, hovering between light and darkness, hesitating, raising tigers, if you were willing to tell me the whereabouts of the Emperor of Light, why did I go around so many circles with you and waste such efforts?"
"People always change. He Qi shook his head lightly and said with a faint smile: " After the humble and polite gentleman has mastered the power, but he always goes against the grain, and the little people who are only willing to have the authority to do so have the authority, but they have intensified, this world is changing, you are looking for strength, you want to fight against that man, but this power is more dangerous than that man, deception, is the ability to make people realize the so-called dream overnight, this ability, so that we can create any world that does not exist, but many times, indulged in that false and gorgeous world, in the end, is it our chosen opponent, or we, you, do you really understand?”
"As long as my heart is towards the light, it's fine!" Zhu Jiujiu sneered and shed tears, soaking the white robe of Shengxue, and reprimanded in a deep voice: " Addicted to power, it's you, from the beginning to the present, you know everything, you understand everything, but you choose to stand by, many times, many times I want you to make a move, but you prevaricate with all kinds of strange and absurd reasons, until now I understand, it turns out, all this, it's just your game, you, you are the one who is addicted to power, you deceived yourself, turned yourself into the high God, He Qi, you wake up, dream, it's been too long!"
"This is not a dream, but an answer, an answer that everyone will understand in the near future. Each has its own light, each has its own intolerability, just like the sun and the moon, we walk on different paths, looking for our own light, and our light, except at dawn, the moment when the sun rises, cannot meet. He Qi shook his head, looking at Zhu Jiujiu's eyes, there was suddenly a trace of pity that made Zhu Jiujiu's heart panic, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "Do you want to see it, the biggest farce in the world?"
"Farce?" Zhu Jiujiu felt a panic in his heart for no reason, looked at He Qi suspiciously, and frowned: "Are you talking about me?"
"There is no one whose world is not a farce, and there is no escape. He Qi smiled faintly, pointed to the closed mountain gate and said slowly: "The things you are looking for, the light I am waiting for, and the farce in this world are all behind this mountain gate, but I hope that you can not step into this door today." ”
"Emperor of Light?" Zhu Jiujiu's heart froze, his face changed, his eyes suddenly flashed a little cold light, he looked coldly at the mountain gate, and said without hesitation: "If the answer I want is really there, then, I'm ready." ”
"If it's a farce, be prepared to laugh at it. He Qi sighed, gently grabbed Zhu Jiujiu's hand, the warmth from the fingertips made Zhu Jiujiu's originally stiff and gradually cold heart suddenly soften, she bit her lip, sighed, and finally lowered her head and stood there without saying a word.
"Everyone is choosing their own life, some are habits, some are impulsive, some people say that the left and right choices are desires, but I always feel that in fact, life is just a thing called peace of mind, that kind of thing may be too peaceful, but it does not make people lose hope. He Qi sighed, looked at Zhu Jiujiu seriously and said, "After this farce, I hope you have a different life." ”
"Different lives..."Zhu Jiujiu was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head and laughed with tears in his eyes, and said to He Qi mockingly: " As you said, you have the power, after seeing the imaginary world of yours, who can live a different life, I said that you are addicted to it, why am I not, in the days with you, you taught me so many things, and then took me to stand high on the heads of those people, and judge them like God, and to this day, you say to me, different lives, really, really a big joke, you gave me drugs, but you want me to give up, this kind of thing, impossible, never possible..."
"So, let's get started. He Qi nodded and pulled Zhu Jiujiu's hand, and at this moment, a Buddha horn finally sounded through the small bright top of the crowd.
"Those who see my body have bodhicitta and those who hear my name cultivate evil and good, those who preach my Dharma break their name, and those who know my heart become Buddhas, Amitabha. In the sound of the Buddha's horn, the door of Jiucang Temple, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened, and a burst of sandalwood suddenly floated from the door, Zhu Jiujiu just took a sip, and felt that the whole person was suddenly excited, and the Buddha horn also became long and moving, and it sounded extremely far away, but when I listened to it again, it was like a whisper in the ear, and there was a faint breath of majesty like a mountain in the solemnity, which made people's knees weak, and couldn't help but want to kneel down to feel comfortable, if it wasn't for a cool breeze coming from her nose in time, she almost never realized that she would be so obsessed。
"I, what's wrong with me?" Zhu Jiujiu took a deep breath, only to feel dizzy, almost bursting, and when he turned around, his face was even more stunned, among the tens of thousands of white clothes outside the gate of Jiucang Temple in this small Guangming Ding, there were only two people standing, she and He Qi.
"I'm not used to kneeling, and once you kneel, you can never stand up. He Qi smiled, stuffed a bottle of cool oil into Zhu Jiujiu's hand, and then whispered: "Sandalwood has done hands and feet, a common trick used by monks, it can be regarded as a drug, remember to smell more, now, it's not the time for you to faint." ”
"Isn't it when I fainted?" Zhu Jiujiu looked at He Qi in amazement, and couldn't help asking: "Why, do I still have to faint, isn't it just a festival?"
"When you see people you shouldn't see, you see the truth you don't want to believe, and at that time, it's better for people to pass out. He Qi raised his head and looked in the direction of the mountain gate of Jiucang Temple, revealing an extremely bitter smile.
