The sky glows into the water, and the sky in the water is red for a while.

Chai Liangyu opened his eyes slightly, rubbed his eyes that were stinged by the glow, and found that it was already morning if he didn't pay attention to the time.

She bit her cherry lip, forcibly subsided her sleepiness, and watched the young man in the courtyard sitting on the jade slab, his hands piled up with all kinds of Ming scriptures and classics, like an old monk in meditation.

She was stunned for a long time, and found that there was a wisp of purple gas hovering beside the young man, and at this time, out of the east, the light tide shone on him, and he was like an immortal in the sky.

She couldn't see any mystery after watching it for a while, and gradually fell asleep in a daze, but she didn't sleep steadily, and when she woke up again, she found Chu Xianzhao sitting in front of her and said with a smile: "I was tired of letting you help me find books last night, thank you." ”

Chai Yanyu trotted to the dormitory with a red face, and cleaned up in front of the mirror for most of the day, before she could hide her tiredness, compared to the momentary call that was still full of energy after a night of cultivation, she looked particularly haggard.

Chu Xianzhao touched her forehead, she rarely did not refuse, blinked her eyes and looked at him with a slightly red face, Chu Xianzhao's palms were very warm, and her fingertips seemed to be poured into her brain with a little amount, she was suddenly a little stunned, looking at him in panic, Chu Xianzhao glared at her, Chai Yanyu's beautiful little face wrinkled, very aggrieved.

Chu Xianzhao looked at this girl with a headache, picked up a classical book and stuffed it into her hand and said softly: "Give me a good understanding of this "Eighty-one Immortal Formula", and when I come back from Shuyue, I will teach you the orthodox method of practicing breathing, which can allow you to absorb the qi between heaven and earth like me, which is a very powerful trick!"

Chai Liangyu looked at him and said like a mosquito, "What's the use of learning this?

Chu Zhao Le said: "Of course you can, in this case, you don't want to practice Wang Xi in your life, will I raise you as a fairy again?"

She drooped the corners of her mouth, and just wanted to cry when Chu Xianzhao glared back at her tears, at that moment, Chu Zhaozhao looked at her as if she was looking at her past self, and was silent for a while and said helplessly: "You don't want to learn from me, you don't bī) you, whatever you want, in short, you remember for me, when I am not in the rest of the city, you must not leave the palace casually, remember." ”

She looked at Chu Xianzhao pitifully, as if she understood, but she didn't nod, her eyes seemed to urge Chu Xianzhao to leave, which made Chu Xianzhao very angry, and stretched out her hand to pinch her tender face, pulling out ugly smiles.

Regarding Chu Xianzhao's wanton blasphemy, she never fought back from beginning to end as if she was really his plaything, and let him play with her face.

Chu Xianzhao let go of his hand and asked casually, "What do you think your father and queen mother want?"

Chai Liangyu seemed to see it too, and there was no dead person who was silent about the great living, and said in a flat tone: "Of course, my father and emperor want to regain the land lost by Yan Fu, and it is best to win your Yin Kingdom in his lifetime, but unfortunately he is just a blind man, and his ambitions cannot be displayed." As for my mother, of course, it is with my father

The emperor's thoughts are contrary, she hopes that my father and I can be safe, and can watch me grow up little by little, and she doesn't care about any dynasty that competes for hegemony and power, even if it's me. ”

Chu Xianzhao looked at her thoughtfully, and asked again, "I always have a question for you...... Your father's reason for starting the war is very strange, and it suddenly seems to me as if someone was pushing him behind it, before the war began...... Has your father ever met anyone very special?"

Chai Liangyu looked at him and was silent for a while, then thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I remember! It seems that there is such a person, a man in a white robe, I saw him chatting with my father and the emperor all the time, like a friend I haven't seen for many years...... By the way, that man also cured my father's eyes! I later asked my father, and my father was from Yinguo!"

Chu Xianzhao touched his chin and pondered: "Yinguo? What kind of people from Yinguo would come to Yanfu to see Yanfu's emperor? You just said that he cured your father's eyes?"

"It's like a miracle! It's even more powerful than a god. I've heard that there are many, many warlocks in your Yin Kingdom who can soar through the clouds and fog and soothe the wind and thunder! Is this true?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled softly: "Yes, the streets of Yinguo are full of warlocks, I have seen warlocks flying over the clouds more than once, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border, but the lives of warlocks are only half of ours, this is the price they pay in order to get power!"

"Half of our lives...... My father once said that the life of kings in the past dynasties is also half of that of ordinary people, and there are only a handful of emperors who can live past fifty, because the average life expectancy of emperors is about thirty years old for various reasons, and we are the same as them. Chai Liangyu's eyes were gloomy, Chu Xianzhao squinted and smiled: "I don't believe in these nonsense about the average life expectancy, I will definitely live a hundred years old, if I don't believe it, let's see." ”

Chai Liangyu raised his eyes slightly, looked at the golden pagoda Buddha tower in the distance and said softly: "For as long as I can remember, I don't like the smoky atmosphere in the Buddha hall, and the queen mother told me that if I think like this, it will definitely cause the Bodhisattvas to be unhappy, and those Buddhas will be angry, no matter how she explains to me, I still don't want to go, I'd rather be punished by her and close in the palace than go to the Buddha." ”

Speaking of these past events, Chai Lanyu was a little sad, but there was not much resentment in his eyes: "Until I was eight years old, my mother had a serious illness, that was the only time I took the initiative to go to the Buddha hall to pray for the Buddha, to pray for my mother to bless and incense, I begged the Buddha to appear to save my mother, Chai Lanyu would rather give his heart to Buddhism in this life." ”

"That, I lit three incense, kneeling in front of the incense burner of Ziguangbao, the monk at that time told me that the Buddha will definitely appear, the queen's body will be better, I also believe so, soon the queen mother's illness will be cured, I naturally feel the Buddha, and then I went to burn incense and make a vow, kneeling with my hands together again and again, but I am still full of joy, because there are really gods and Buddhas in this world, they can hear us speak.

”

Chu Xianzhao looked at her pious face, nodded again and again, and said softly: "I still remember the release pond surrounded by a white jade railing outside the Buddha Hall, carved with lotus patterns, and the middle of the guardrail is embedded with "Buddha Eight Treasures——、", conch, umbrella, canopy, vase and other carved patterns, and the shadow wall of the Nine Lotus Buddha carved from jade is engraved with the "Buddha's six-character mantra", which is really unforgettable!"

"But I don't believe it now. The girl smiled, this kind of firewood scale fish made Chu Xianzhao feel unfamiliar, she continued: "If the Buddha really exists, why did he indifferently let your army attack Yan Fu, my mother's illness may have nothing to do with them, it's just a doctor's skill." They are always like this, let us pray loudly again and again, but when we really need them, what is the use of such gods?"

"Chu instantly summoned you to tell me, since the wish is not spiritual, why should I make a wish to them again, what is the meaning of the existence of faith?"

The boy was just silent, and he didn't even have an answer to Chai Liangyu's question.

Perhaps faith has no meaning at all, faith is given by people, and gods and Buddhas are things that exist objectively.

Chai Yanyu concluded: "There is no Elysium in this world, there is only one Yellow Spring Purgatory, and we are in it. ”

Chu Xianzhao asked her tentatively: "In your eyes now, it is to express resentment towards the cold bystanders of the gods and Buddhas, and also to express doubts about their existence?"

Chai Yanyu smiled and didn't give the answer Chu Xianzhao wanted.
