For a moment, Sheng Ku seemed to be bewitched by this smile, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, warm.

In the days that followed, I never really calmed down to participate in meditation and enlightenment. During the day, his eyes are full of mulberry branches, and his innocent smile seems to warm his heart, and when he closes his eyes at night, what he smells in his nose is the faint smell of flowers on the mulberry branches' body. Although Sheng Ku had given up the cave he had once committed to to Mulberry Branch to use, and he went deeper into the barren land, his legs were very strange and did not allow him to go too far from Sang Zhi, and subconsciously, he would come to look for her every day. Although when she went to look for him every day, he pretended to be cold and refused coldly.

But every late night, he was still so provoked by that strange breath that he couldn't sleep. So, he had no choice but to get up and follow the smell that seemed to have magical powers, and guard the outside of her cave. Although the sky is full of yellow sand, there are no other wild beasts, and it is very safe at night, but I don't know why, the suffering is so sudden and lost. It seems that this is not the mission of the vicissitudes of life, but his.

Love is also a sin.

He thought to himself. However, he could not counteract this evil by his own faith. Could it be that the so-called love is really so unbreakable? Many times, the only remaining obsession still supports him to make a trivial struggle against the most basic desires of human beings. However, that flower-like smile is really beautiful! The delicate girl's casual softness and shyness will keep him awake all night.

Buddha, how can I get close to you!

But soon, the image of the Buddha began to dissipate little by little, and the bright and well-behaved face slowly appeared in front of him, becoming clearer and clearer.

But this time, Sheng Ku suddenly woke up from his dream, because for the first time, he saw the woman named Nian Chu in his dream so clearly. This time, Nian Chu no longer smiled at him, but with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Woman... He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. It turns out that my heart has never been at peace. In the past, there was a dream of the beginning, but now there are mulberry branches around me.

"Zaiwu!" his yellow-robed master's clear voice floated in his ears. Again, he repeated silently, and suddenly he seemed to understand. Even if he didn't have a mulberry branch, he wouldn't have become a Buddha, because deep down in his heart there was still that woman called Nian Chu. Master must have known about this, but he told him in another way.

Vice. Suddenly, he was a little hateful. It's all sin. Superficial gentleness and superficial harmlessness are actually obstacles to one's own Buddhahood! Women, love, and beasts.

So, when he suddenly realized this, he grabbed his clothes and walked towards the place where the vicissitudes of life were planted. Over the years, the foliage will be even more lush and lush.

"You know what?" Mulberry's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he was startled. The high level of nervousness made him unaware of the mulberry branches that followed all the way. He looked at Sang Zhi's face with some weakness, suspicious that his intentions had been discovered by her.

"You know what? We are born out of love, and the tree can grow so well here just because you have love in your heart. You see, when I left here, it wasn't as lush as this. Mulberry picked a green leaf with her slender white fingers and handed it to him. He wanted to dodge, but the demon still held it in his hand.

This is, the feeling of life.

"So, are you going to accept me?" Mulberry Branch's face slowly pressed over to him, his cheeks flushed from shyness.

In an instant, the soul-stirring scent of the flowers hit his nostrils. It was as if his soul had been restrained, out of his control, and the reason for his place had been forgotten by himself, "soft lips," he thought to himself, and then for the first time he reached out and cupped her cheek and kissed it. The kiss was a bit heavy, and the little girl couldn't stand it at all, she wanted to push him away, but she was born for him, so although her little hand climbed up to his shoulder, she only nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Bitterness!" A voice suddenly appeared in his ears, it was Nian Chu's voice. She, but she blames herself?

Suddenly, he pushed her away.

Sang Zhi never thought that this man who was forgetting to kiss him would suddenly and rudely push her away, and her feet did not stand firmly, and her body fell to the ground like a crumbling petal. When Shengzhu recovered his senses and found that the mulberry branch was thrown out by him, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But before he could reach out to help her, he saw a young woman in a black dress and a black dress fly from the treetops of the vicissitudes of the sea. She glared at Sheng Bitter viciously, and then held Sang Zhi in her arms.

"It's okay!" she panicked to check whether Sang Zhi's body was injured, and after finding that there was no major problem, she angrily pushed Sheng Ku to the ground.

"You're crazy! you're doing this to her!" the girl's eyes widened with rage.

"Delos. Don't do that, he didn't mean to. Sang Zhi was a little flustered, and hurriedly went to help the suffering. But Dellos pulled her behind him. "Wake up! Look at him, he won't love you at all! Why do you have to waste time on him!"

But she would not listen to Delos at all, nor would she accept her affection. Delos also knew it very well. So when Delos saw that the mulberry branch was still breaking free from her to help the suffering, he could only sigh helplessly.

Sheng Ku just wanted to keep a certain distance from Sang Zhi, so he only stayed away from Sang Zhi after getting up.

She was right. Sheng Ku made up his mind, "I won't love you." Although you say that you are born of love, the love in my heart is not because of you. ”

"What?" Mulberry didn't understand. "How come, if you don't have love, why was I born? You're lying to me!"

"I want to become a Buddha after all, and there is no room for the slightest stumbling on the road to Buddhahood!" When I said this, I was actually in pain in my heart. He leaned over slightly, covering his heart with his hands. However, it did not show any abnormalities on the surface.

"But that's my mission. I will not delay your Buddhahood...", the tears of the humble girl fell. For a moment, Sheng Ku wanted to immediately step forward to help her wipe it. It seems that he can empathize with her suffering.

"No, I want you to get out of here, now!!—" Sheng bitterly pursed the corners of his mouth, he was afraid that if he said such a ruthless word, he would never see the girl in front of him again. I don't know why, although he has always deliberately kept a distance from the girl, the girl's smile still touches his heart. He only coldly and ruthlessly suppressed this feeling in his heart.

"What else are you going to do?" the woman in black was extremely unconvinced in front of Sang Zhi. I don't know why, I always feel that the eyes of this woman in black look at her contain bottomless hatred and jealousy.

"Otherwise," he gritted his teeth, not wanting to wonder where the woman in black came from and why she hated herself, as if she had to make a decision today. "Otherwise, I will cut down this vicissitudes of life! What kind of love irrigation! Ridiculous!"

"You—" Sang Zhi trembled and lowered his long eyelashes, "I'm not entangled, but loving you is my mission in this life." If you are tired of me, go and cut down the tree. ”

"Mulberry Branch, without the body of the tree, you will..." The sunspot woman was a little panicked, but unfortunately before she finished her words, Sang Zhi had already stopped in front of her, "Delo, it is fate to be born in the world. It's good to leave everything to God. The woman's tears burst out suddenly, and she stubbornly turned her head and stopped looking at her, but she secretly raised the back of her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Although he wanted to know if the tree would hurt if he cut off the mulberry branches, he kept reminding him in his heart that he could become a Buddha only by cutting off the love thread. So, he gritted his teeth, and with just one palm, the body of the tree turned into powder. They drifted wantonly in the wind, gradually merging with the yellow sand, and it was difficult to distinguish between you and me.

"After that, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. You don't have to fulfill your so-called mission, and you don't have to stay with me anymore. You're free. ”

Although Sang Zhi had tears on his face all the time, he still showed a faint smile at the bitterness, and then a mouthful of red blood splattered out of her mouth and dripped on the yellow sand, just like the flower juice that he had choked off that year.

I don't know why, Sheng Ku subconsciously wanted to help her. But the girl named Delos suddenly stood in front of him, "You can get out!"

Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the body of the tree that stored their bond had been destroyed by his own hands, and in this case, why was he suddenly so reluctant to give up? He withdrew his hand in a cringe, but his heart hurt more than just now.

This night, the old man in the yellow robe came again. "What do you realize?" In the night, his yellow robe seemed to merge with the yellow sand, but his beard seemed to be longer.

"Love, will make oneself involuntarily make mistakes, the road to Buddhahood, should have great love, should not have affection. ”

Sheng Ku thought that his master would praise him, but he didn't expect the old man in the yellow robe to twist his eyebrows, but he wrinkled even more, "Enlightenment." ”

This night, life tossed and turned. It's not because he didn't answer the Master's questions well, but because his mind was full of mulberry branches. The air tonight is no longer filled with the faint aroma of her flower juice, and the whistling sound of wind and sand fills her ears. For the first time, he only felt that such a lonely and lonely night would be so cold. Once, the girl lived in the cave where he was, and he thought that there should be a reassuring smell here, but there was nothing. She must have been far away from the end of the earth with the girl named Delos, and the ruined tree body had indeed severed all ties between him and her.

He turned over, isn't this what he has always wanted? Now it's just back to the days before without her, since he was a child, he has lived alone in the barren land at the end of the world, why is he so uncomfortable now?

I am bitter and do not need love.
