"I've thought about a lot of things these days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe world is so big, would you like to go with me to see it?"

The same cold voice reminds me of the snow outside the window at this moment. If there is wind, it should be a thin layer of snow dust, sprinkled with water. His voice fell when the wind stopped.

From the encounter in Jinzhou all the way, to the day of the Tibetan scripture room, I guessed countless possible outcomes, but this is the one that is difficult to achieve.

But so what?

Didn't it happen?

I let go of my clenched hand and walked slowly towards the long night.

"Gladly. ”

I heard my own voice coming from far away, with a vague damp sea breeze.

It was obviously the cold winter weather, but there was a tree and flowers blooming in my heart, and outside the flowers, there was a blue sea and a few big birds with white wings. They fly freely in the blue sky, and their shadows are clearly reflected on the sea.

Long Night took my hand, draped the large cloak over me, and pushed the door open.

The biting air squeezed through the door at once.

Walking through the snow, we walked outside.

The snow was falling slowly, but there was still a thick layer on the ground, and it creaked when you stepped on it.

The collapsed snow takes the shape of footprints and winds its way down.

I think of the bowl of dog blood that didn't spill on me, and I still feel a little apprehensive.

Long Night, is this going to take me to see his master?

Since I went up the mountain, I have always been careful not to let anyone except Changye notice me, so I never showed my face in Qing'an Ju. But Master Long Night was obviously aware of my existence, and I wondered if I should tell Long Night about it? After all, we had already met behind his back, albeit a not very pleasant and end-of-the-road meeting.

Perhaps sensing my uneasiness, the long night held my hand tighter. His hands are dry and warm,

I turned my head to look at him, and finally I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.

"I'll send you down the mountain. ”

Long Night Road.

My steps faltered.

"In a few days I will come looking for you. ”

Long Night tightened his cloak and added.

"I see. ”

After a moment of silence, I said.

In this life, he has his responsibilities and shackles, and I am not among them. He wants to deal with it himself, how can I object?

"Give me an exact time. I'll wait for you. ”

"Seven days at the latest. ”

"Well, in seven days, if you don't come, I'll be gone. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I also plucked the peony in front of the temple. ”

I'm angry and cruel.

Changye smiled softly when he heard this.

Suddenly falling into a warm embrace, his breath sprayed softly in his ears: "I promise, I will come down to look for you in seven days at the latest." Then we go to the north and wait for the peonies to bloom before making further plans. When the time comes, stay in one place, or walk around, it's up to you. ”

The little loss and dissatisfaction in my heart was cured in an instant.

"Then I'll clean it up. ”

For the sake of convenience, I am still disguised. At the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, when I lifted my hat to reveal my ordinary face, a flash of doubt appeared on my face in the long night, but I didn't ask anything.

"Don't recognize?"

I asked deliberately.

Long Night glanced at me faintly, pulled up my scattered hair, and then picked up a square towel and wrapped it up.

This time, it was my turn to wonder.

Seeing the reflection of the strange peasant woman in the basin, I waited for a long night to answer. Who knows, but he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

No, I had to ask with a shy face: "Why do you wrap this, it looks a little strange." ”

Changye glanced at me lightly and said, "I won't recognize it this way." ”

Me: "......"

He reached out to untie it, but was stopped by the long night.

"That's good. ”

I was honestly wearing the little blue scarf and didn't move.

After changing into the coarse cloth clothes given by the master's family, coupled with the hair wrapped, she really looked no different from an ordinary peasant woman.

When everything is arranged, I will go out for a long night and see him off.

Before leaving, Changye took a deep look at me and left an unfathomable sentence: "I have seen it a long time ago." ”

What have you seen before?

I couldn't figure it out until the evening, when I opened the package and saw the wooden box lying flat, all my doubts vanished.

In the painting of my hometown, I am dressed in red, and I look like an ordinary person.

I remembered the night when the long night knocked on the door in Qing'an Curie. That time, in a hurry, I only dried my eyes, and it was the first time he had seen me. After that, I didn't deliberately hide it in the scripture room.

From Jinzhou City to the north, I wore a hat all the way and never took it off.

Just like these twenty-four years, the world has wandered.

I thought that when the hat was hidden, that ordinary face would not be seen for a long time, but I never thought that he already knew the answer in the hometown I was pursuing.

In this life, are we finally consummated?

Three days later, Qing'an Ju ushered in a dusty guest.

This guest is a kind old monk. He was dressed in a gray cotton robe, and his palms were covered with wrinkles and red cracks.

"Master. ”

The long night came up and saluted.

The old monk accepted this salute calmly, and after a long time, he said, "Your uncle has told me everything......

The old monk didn't say any extra words, but both of them understood.

It was originally a five-day trip, but Shengsheng was shortened to three days by the old monks. Hurrying all the way, for what, without words, the two of them have a mirror in their hearts.

One wants to persuade the other to turn back, while the other has to persuade the other to accept that he does not want to turn back.

This is a set of contradictions that are difficult to reconcile.

The bargaining chip of the old monk is family affection, the master-apprentice relationship that lasts for countless days, the love and ardent expectations of many years, and what can be pulled and contended with is the love that young people germinate for the first time.

If you go through a thousand sails, then the thoroughness of the Zen mind is the real letting go and realizing the obstacles.

But Long Night is different, he is still young, his life has just begun, and his thoroughness is a theory that has not been practiced.

So, when the woman appeared, he couldn't help but fall.

The moment their eyes met, both of them understood each other's determination.

The old monk sighed and held the Buddha beads.

"Please return the disciple to the vulgar. ”

Long night kneeling and pleading.

The old monk did not answer, and turned to leave.

The long night was still motionless and kneeling.

The senior brother who watched him stride down the mountain wanted to stop talking, but in the end he just sighed and followed.

Sandalwood curls.

The old monk closed his eyes and stopped chanting and asked, "How?"

Ku and Senior Brother have been together since childhood, and they are very familiar with Senior Brother's intentions, so they replied immediately: "Still kneeling there." ”

Hearing this, he said nothing and continued to recite the scriptures.

Seeing this, the words that had just come to his mouth were swallowed again.

He wrote to his senior brother because he wanted to force Changye to turn back, but he didn't think about it, but it had the opposite effect. The young abbot, not only did not give in, but ran in the opposite direction to what they expected.
