Chapter 17 The Strength of the Strong
At this moment, Hongying was leaning over and applying the potion for Liku.
Away from the bitterness, I smelled a sweet fragrance, which was neither the sandalwood burned in front of the Buddha statue, nor the fragrance of flowers and fruits, but a strange Chinese herbal taste.
He only felt that his whole body was open, and a cool feeling was diluting and dissolving his pain, indescribably useful, in a daze, he opened his eyes slightly, and was surprised to see that he was open and exposed, and his whole body was held down by the red tassel, unable to move.
He knew that Hongying was applying medicine to him, and he no longer moved, so he immediately closed his eyes and let her dispose of it. I felt that the broken bone was gently smeared by a pair of warm hands, and I couldn't help but feel itchy and crispy. The whole body is like an ant on a hot pot, unconsciously tensed up, twitching slightly.
Hongying looked at his embarrassed and embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
I only heard Hongying say, "What's your name?"
Liku frowned and said, "My name is Liku." ”
Hongying smiled and said: "This name is not good, from bitterness? Do you think it is very bitter? It is better to call it seeking joy, seeking joy and having fun, hahaha!"
Li Ku only felt that this Shura girl spoke funny, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not good to be bitter, it's not good to have fun, it's not really happiness." ”
Hongying smiled: "That's right, you smile, what are you doing so nervously? Relax your whole body, you are so tense, I can't see your injuries clearly, and give you a dressing......"
He said in a trembling voice: "I ...... I...... I ......"
Hongying said: "What are you, are you in pain, or cold, or hot?" said and touched his forehead, touched his chest, and said with a smile: "How do I feel that you are hot?"
His forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat, and he said softly: "...... I am grateful to the girl for healing me...... It's just that...... It's just that...... We're too close...... Or I'll ...... it myself."
Hongying said: "Why are you afraid that I will get too close, I am not a monster." ”
Li Ku said: "The girl is not a monster, but we are different from men and women...... Not very decent......"
Hongying said: "Aren't you monks all empty, with no desires and no desires? Are you afraid that my little woman will not succeed? Could it be that you are a fake monk?"
"I grew up in a Zen temple since I was a child, fasting and taking precepts, not a fake monk. ”
Hongying looked curious and asked, "It turns out that you grew up in the Zen temple since you were a child, what about your father and mother?"
Liku whispered, "I...... I haven't seen them...... They put me at the entrance of the temple, and I was adopted by an old Zen master......"
Hongying looked at him, and only felt that her expression showed a little pity. Suddenly, she said, "Do you miss them, do you want to see them?"
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I want to ......"
Hongying said: "Since you want to, why don't you go to them?"
After being stunned for a while, Hongying's question was like a huge wave that instantly broke the vigilance in his heart, and he muttered to himself: "Yes....... It's just that...... It's just that I'm a monk......."
Hongying said: "When you become a monk, do you have to be ruthless and unrighteous? The monk is a monster who has no desires and no desires, or a hypocrite who says one thing and does another." ”
Li smiled bitterly: "A monk is not a monster, but also a living person. If it is really like the girl said, the four are empty, without desire and desire, will you become a dead person? It's just that since you are a monk, you have to abide by the rules and precepts. ”
Hongying said: "Then go to your father and mother, which rule and precept did you violate?"
He was stunned again, and said in a daze: "I didn't commit any of them...... You're right...... I should have gone to them......"
Hongying said: "You are indeed different from other monks. You are so handsome and human, it's a pity to be a monk...... This is also ...... This is also ......" As she spoke, she blushed, covered her mouth and smiled, thinking to herself, this is also the reason why I look down on you.
Seeing that her face was flushed and her tone was strange, she only felt extremely uncomfortable for a while, and said, "Of course I'm human...... I have been a monk since I was a child, and I will continue to be a monk in the future......"
Hongying said: "Since you are a human being, you have seven emotions and six desires." But the words of your monks are contrary to the human nature of the Heavenly Dao. ”
Liku asked: "Why does the girl say that the monk's remarks are contrary to the way of heaven and human nature, and the Buddha left home as a young man to practice penance and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, so that all sentient beings can be free from suffering and be happy, and obtain true happiness." ”
Hongying shook her head and said, "Leaving home, leaving your parents and relatives, this is ruthless, unrighteous, selfish, and contrary to the nature of sentient beings. Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and if there is nothing, how can we achieve happiness?"
"The girl misunderstood, emptiness is not nothingness, but impermanence. Impermanence leads to suffering, and what we cultivators seek is to get rid of our troubles and get rid of the sea of suffering, not selfishness......"
Hongying smiled and said: "Jingyun: If you ask for something, you will suffer, and if you don't ask for it, you will be happy." If you are bent on cultivating the Tao, is that asking for something or not asking for it? Since you have a request, your mind is suffering. It's better to be at peace with what you encounter, do whatever you want, have nothing in your heart, and don't be afraid of anything, that's called no demand, haha, haha, haha!"
was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look at Hongying, her words made him speechless for a while. He is true by nature, and there is absolutely no sophistication and pretentiousness, there is yes, there is no. But deep down in his heart, there were indeed doubts and troubles. Even he himself couldn't help but think, isn't there also a desire for the Tao, and if there is a request, there will be troubles, and if there is really no desire, why should he become a Buddha? If the cultivation of the Tao is ruthless and loveless, where can we experience the suffering of sentient beings, and where can we have compassion?
For a moment, I didn't know where I was.
Hongying seemed to see his thoughts, and suddenly grinned, and said, "Why don't you be vulgar......
He was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why did the girl say this, I will go to find my father and mother, but this does not affect my cultivation." ”
Hongying stared at him with her cheeks on her cheeks, and said softly: "How hard it is to cultivate, you look at this green valley, carefree, leisurely, why don't you accompany me to live happily here, and when your injuries are healed, I will accompany you to find your father and mother, and then bring them to this green valley, do you say okay? Isn't this the highest happiness in life?"
Startled, he said again and again: "This can't be helped, the little monk doesn't dare to disturb the girl." When the little monk can walk, he should say goodbye to the girl, and chant and pray for the girl every day to repay your great kindness. ”
Hongying shook her head and said coquettishly: "I don't want you to go, I want you to stay with me." ”
The more he listened, the more nervous he became, and said, "When the girl said this, the little monk didn't dare to disturb the girl anymore." The heart of the little monk will never waver. As he spoke, he tried to get up with a slight effort, but this movement made him sweat profusely in an instant.
Hongying's face sank, and she said, "The so-called heart of cultivation, isn't it still greedy for that supernatural power? ”
Li Ku said: "What the girl said is not right, don't say your brother, that demon and monster also have magical powers, but they are not the heart of cultivation." ”
Hongying said: "You are the same as the demons and monsters, but each has its own way, and they all have their own needs." This Emperor Shakti of the Heavens, who has the greatest blessings and supernatural powers of the Heavens, is full of heavenly reincarnation, in my opinion, it is also the same as demons and monsters, but it is all for himself, and all living beings are for himself. ”
"The girl doesn't know, the little monk wants to take this path, not for himself." If you go to the realm of desire, you will naturally understand the suffering of sentient beings, and the little monk is to let them all be free from suffering and be happy. ”
Hongying frowned and said, "I don't care about the beings who want to be in the heavens, I just want to pursue the happiness I want." I want to see if your cultivation heart is real or fake!"
As he spoke, he heard the sound of the red tassel, turned around, and stretched his head and neck. With a single force, he held him in his arms and checked the injury on his back.
Suddenly felt a bout of unbearable pain in the bones of the whole body, which was unbearable, and I couldn't help but cry out "ah".
"It doesn't hurt...... It doesn't hurt...... Bear with it and go over......" Red Tassel whispered softly in his ear, pressing her right cheek against his left cheek as she spoke. I only felt the heat on her face, and then I felt her soft and delicate skin, and my heart almost jumped out of my mouth, and I wanted to break free again and again. But Jue Hongying blew like an orchid on his neck, and the fragrance of lipid came in bursts, and he couldn't help but spin the world, and his whole body trembled.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hongying applied the herbs to his back with great swiftness, and then leaned him lightly on his shoulder, gently touching his forehead to relieve his pain.
After a period of unbearable pain, he was treated so gently and pitifully by Hongying, it was difficult for him for a while, and the Zen skills he practiced seemed to have been all turned away by Hongying, and his concentration was completely lost, after all, he was a teenager, Hongying, a beautiful woman, such as the world's first temptation, was more difficult to resist than the demons and monsters, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, gradually, his mind was just blank, lying on Hongying's body, his heart was muddy, and he couldn't speak.
Gradually, he fell into a coma and fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but I heard the door of the room being pushed open.
Hongying looked up, and her face changed, only to see Emperor Shijun and Pan'er standing in front of the door in a daze, looking at them dumbfounded.
The Emperor Shijun's face was instantly blue and purple, with a strange expression, and he was stunned: "Red tassel...... You...... What are you doing here?"
Goodbye Pan'er, covering her face at this time, her eyes were red, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
Hongying glared at Pan'er fiercely, snorted, and said, "You demon girl, I saved your life, you don't know how to be grateful, why do you still bring the emperor to hinder me?"
Pan'er said in a low voice: "Back to Niangniang's words, your great kindness to me, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse." It's just that how dare I ask Emperor Shijun to come over and disturb Niangniang, it is Emperor Shijun who wants to come and visit Niangniang. ”
Hongying's face showed an annoyed look, and said, "What is Niangniang's! My name is Hongying! I have nothing to do with this emperor!"
Emperor Shijun said: "Miss Hongying, you don't want to be angry with Miss Pan'er, I want to visit you." You...... What are you doing with this monk?"
Hongying glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't you see? I'm healing him." ”
Emperor Shakti said: "Even if it's healing...... You're a big girl and a man hugging each other, what kind of thing is that?"
Hongying smiled disdainfully and said, "What about the adult system, what about the non-system?"
Emperor Shijun's face became ugly, and he said, "Hongying, this is not appropriate, this is too upside down." ”
Pan'er listened on the sidelines, thinking that this Emperor Shijun was the highest authority in the heavens, but in front of this red tassel, he couldn't help but be shocked with a tone of discussion and pleading.
I only heard Hongying say: "Such a trivial matter, how dare you bother the high Emperor Shakti Heavenly King." What is the reversal of what kind of reversal I have for saving him and treating him well? I have neither harmed nor done evil, according to the karma you have set, what retribution will I get if I heal him and treat him well? No matter how great your blessing and authority are, you can't care who I treat well, is it possible that you want to send me to the Infernal Hell?"
Emperor Shakjun shook his head and said, "Hongying, how could I send you to hell, I just want to treat you well...... I...... I ......" At this moment, this king who looked at the world actually showed a helpless look on his face, and he couldn't help but glance at Liku, those eyes had lost their calm and calm look.
I only heard him say: "Hongying, this little master is a monk, this is definitely not appropriate, why don't you hand him over to me, I will be able to heal his injuries......"
Hongying smiled and said, "This little master said that monks are just people, and if you can become a monk, you can return to the vulgar." I fell in love with him, and he said that he was willing to stay with me in this green valley and spend this life together. ”
Emperor Shijun was stunned for a moment, looked at the detriment lying on Hongying's body in a daze, and asked, "Did this little master really say that?"
Hongying replied loudly, "Yes!"
But seeing Pan'er's whole body trembling, tears rolling in her eyes, she raised her head to look at Liku, and said, "Little master, you have already decided to stay? Didn't we say that we would go to Wu*tian together? I don't know where Garuda is now, don't you care?"
However, at this time, Liku was still in a coma, and he didn't hear Pan'er's words at all.
Hongying turned her head and glared at Pan'er angrily, and said, "You demon girl is so powerful, with your pitiful appearance, you actually captured the Emperor Shakti Heavenly King." ”
I only heard Emperor Shijun sigh and say, "Hongying, how have I treated you all these years?"
Hongying said: "The high Emperor Shakti Heavenly King, you are very good to the little girl, you have the greatest merit and supernatural powers in this * heaven, and you still build such a magnificent and gorgeous temple behind my humble stone house, the little girl is just a Shura girl, I am honestly afraid, I can't stand your great kindness." ”
Emperor Shakti said, "Then why do you want to ...... with this monk," he said, bowing his noble head and looking sad.
Hongying shook her head and said, "No matter how good you are, no matter how good you are, I don't like it." In this day, you can have whatever you want, so why should you be strong?"
At this time, he saw that Liku slowly woke up, he raised his head, looked at Pan'er, and said slowly: "Miss Pan'er, what's wrong with your leg injury?"
But seeing Pan'er's gloomy face, she said sadly: "Little master, it's okay if you're fine." Pan'er won't bother you anymore in the future, take care of yourself!"
