Silence nodded, and several worshippers gathered together to begin to discuss. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was the first time in the history of the temple that the abbot who had committed the precepts was expelled from the mountain gate. Once not handled properly, a lot of problems will arise. This can indeed be said to affect the survival of the state religion.

What happened later was blurred into a fragment in the withered heart.

Many details faded in his mind, except for the scene in front of the twin small stupas that was deeply engraved in his mind.

The senior brother said to the young abbot, "I led you to the door back then, but I never thought that I would personally drive you out of the mountain gate today. Long night, let me ask you, the sea of bitterness is boundless, will you not look back?"

After the young abbot made a big salute, he knelt down and said peacefully: "No regrets for the long night." ”

"Okay, okay....... Okay!" The senior brother, who was already a little rickety, had a trembling voice when he said yes, and he turned his back and let several worshippers stand on both sides of the steps with long sticks in their hands, ready to be executed.

A stick fell, making a dull sound of entering the flesh.

The young abbot did not move.

In front of the double small pagoda, there are a total of 9981 steps. With each step of the young abbot, the long rod fell.

At the same time, the senior brother's questions also followed.

"Long night, the sea of bitterness is boundless, you can't look back?"

"No regrets for the long night. ”

Such conversations were repeated in the gloomy silence of the afternoon.

The twin small stupas are located in the middle of nowhere, except for the sweeping monk who quickly opened his eyes and glanced at everyone and quickly closed his eyes, only the people who walked out of the stupa remained.

The young abbot's back was already in tattered clothes and bloodstained, but he still straightened his spine and said in a clear voice without regrets.

One step and one staff, one staff and one question.

As the blood stains on the young abbot's body deepened, Withering heard the voice of the senior brother asking and gradually trembled.

The brightest hope of the national temple, twenty years of careful teaching, was finally destroyed in the hands of a woman. Heartache, regret, anger, regret...... All the words are not enough to describe the mood of the silence at this moment.

He hoped that this young and promising disciple would come to his senses, bow his head once, say his submission, and turn back. But he was too young, too stubborn, too stubborn, and so lonely that he felt that perhaps he was really coming to the end of his destiny - he felt his own old age, and he was powerless.

"Why?"

The silence finally stopped drinking and asking, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.

The young disciple was not embarrassed in the slightest, his blood-stained monk's robe, but he still had that detached appearance. But after a moment's recess, the young disciple gave his own answer.

"All living beings are suffering, but there are always some people who do not want to turn back, even if they understand the suffering of the road ahead. The long night is dull, and he is also an idiot. ”

Hearing the silence, he didn't say anything more.

He himself raised the long stick and waved it hatefully.

Before the young disciple fell, he showed a shallow and inexplicable smile.

This smile made the silence a little abrupt.

After more than eighteen years of companionship, he had never seen this cold disciple smile, and he even thought that this disciple who made him proud and proud would never smile, and he never thought that after the last stick fell today, he was officially expelled from the mountain gate, and this unsmiling disciple actually laughed for the first time.

As Silence felt a burst of panic, a great sense of powerlessness rose from the tip of his heart.

"When he wakes up, let him go down the mountain." It is said to the outside world that the abbot has been seated...... The old man doesn't know anyone, so he should think about the cliff face......."

"Senior Brother~"

Withering was shocked by the senior brother's decision, thinking about the harsh environment of the cliff, and the senior brother is also old, this time, I am afraid that there will be no time to come out.

"Senior brother, the affairs of the National Temple will be handed over to you. ”

Hearing this, Silence turned around and admonished.

"Senior Brother.......

Withered wanted to say something, but Withered turned around, and walked towards the vast withered forest alone.

That day was like a dream, until the young abbot woke up and quietly left, and it never felt real.

Why didn't the senior brother stop the long night, why did he choose such a decisive way to deal with it, and how did he become the abbot of the new generation in a daze?

Withering couldn't understand, he intuitively felt that all of this was closely related to the closed hall in the night, but he didn't know the possibility anymore.

I woke up in the evening of the long night, and after waking up, I went to Siguo Cliff and kowtowed to the stone cave three times, and then walked down the mountain without looking back.

The senior brother did not show up in the cave from beginning to end.

Withered didn't go to the Siguo Cliff until he walked through the long night, but until it was dark, the senior brother didn't speak, and Withered finally had no choice but to go back.

The senior brother was sure that he was dedicated to the character of the national temple, so he threw all the burdens to him.

The snow was still unmelted, and it creaked when he stepped on it, and he remembered that many years ago, the long night was still very small, and it was also a snowy day, and he chatted with his senior brother, who asked what he wished for the long night who was reading Buddhist scriptures.

The little long night replied: "See the truth of this world and find the true way of detachment." ”

This sentence shocked the senior brother and shocked him.

At that time, he and his senior brother both felt that this son would be extraordinary in the future.

But I didn't expect that more than ten years later, the amazing genius child of that year has now fallen into the ordinary mediocrity.

I don't know if I regret or regret it.

He really wanted to ask the long night now, is falling into the love between men and women the way you have found the way to detachment?

That night, there was another heavy snowfall.

On the morning of the second day, the muddy marks of the first day were covered without a trace. The earth was white, the sun had been seen for a long time, and the sky was blue.

It was not until the end that he realized the answer to that question, although he never saw the young abbot again.

That answer was told to him by the senior brother at the end, when Changye said goodbye to his senior brother, the senior brother also asked this question, and Changye only answered two simple words at that time - Shunxin.

The truth of this world, the true method of detachment, is just two simple words.

Detachment is achieved if you go along with your heart, and this is the truth of the world.

The young abbot did not go against his original ideals, and he re-entered the red dust, but because he found the answer he had been seeking.

Withering remembered the small town facing north, remembered the route that suddenly changed back then, and in an instant, everything was clear.

In his life, except for his master and brother, he has never admired anyone else, but at this moment, he has a respect for this young and vulgar little nephew in his heart.

It's a pity that when he understood this, he was already dying, and the detached young man had long since disappeared into the sea of people.

He looked at the newly added Dharma bones in the twin small pagodas, and only felt that the years were in a trance.

As soon as it was dawn, there was a soft knock at the door of the hut.

The wind was blowing.
