Chapter 215: The Covenant of the Next World (19)
The wind was stronger, and the new green leaves were blowing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The corners of the lips curled slightly, and the eyes that looked at me were gentle as if they were filled with a blue sea.
"I won't come back for a long night."
From the beginning of the inquiry in front of the twin small pagodas, he has always been firm in his words.
A long night without returning.
Even if the spine of the rod is added, the heart will not regret it.
He remembered that a long time ago, outside Jinzhou City, he caught up with her and wanted to save her from the sea of suffering.
She said, "Good idea...... But I don't want to look back. ”
At that time, Long Night was still a little confused.
Why? If you know the suffering, why do you still not want to turn back?
"As the master said, all living beings are suffering. But there are always some people who don't want to turn back, even if they understand the hardships ahead. She added.
"It's stupid, it's not good." Long Night heard his own voice coming from the depths of the years.
"The master is not an idiot, so I don't know, and it's good to be stupid." She replied.
"There is more bitterness than pleasure." At that time, he still disagreed.
"Even so, I have no regrets."
Long Night remembered the answer she had given. It's so simple, but it makes his heart ripple.
He remembered the moonlit night when she shut herself out of the house behind closed doors. Moonlight is as beautiful as her long hair.
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, with charm and sadness, but she stuffed a painting into her arms with an attitude that could not be refused.
"That's all I wanted."
The woman in the moonlight said.
It was a painting called Hometown, and in the painting was all her prayers.
The reason why she is desperate and does not want to turn back is simply because he is pursuing the hometown of his heart.
On the hill outside the Luobei Plain, there are a few simple thatched cottages on the mountain.
The appearance of the thatched cottage is clearly another Qing'an residence.
The heartstrings of the long night fluttered slightly.
He has been walking in the world, and the reason why he refuses to stay is only because he has not met the places and people that he is willing to stop, and his heart has been wandering, wandering.
Although it was a grand wish to promote Buddhism and pursue the path outside Tibet, in fact, he later thought that all this was to meet her.
Otherwise, how to explain that after the first meeting in Jinzhou, he reneged on his oath and followed her to Chaobei and stayed there?
If it weren't for Uncle Shi's letter, he was afraid that he would continue to live in Chaobei.
During that time, although he continued to live according to his old habits, he left all kinds of things in the national temple behind.
It was as if he was not the young abbot, just an ordinary monk.
And when he met her, he ended his journey.
Because his heart, which had been floating, suddenly had a place to rest.
She is his hometown.
It's the answer he's been looking for.
The truth of the world, for Long Night, is finally clear, just two simple words - hometown.
It gave him snuggling and warmth, as well as a warm vein like a long stream of water. It relaxes you, lets him dock, and lets him see the beauty, colorfulness, and fun of life.
This is the essence of life.
True detachment should not be desireless, but follow human nature, affection and righteousness. He is to follow his inner voice and live his life.
Therefore, the master, who had been nurturing for many years, asked himself with a sad look in his eyes, and he said the same answer as her.
"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. ”
As the words fell, Changye saw that the eyes of the master, who had always been proud of him, were full of deep loss.
He was not guilty of it.
But there is no way to have both in the world, and he can only make a choice.
Changye once again remembered the conversation outside Jinzhou City, and the words that had been deliberately ignored became clear in his heart.
"If you get it, you won't be bitter."
The woman with the hood meant something.
At that time, he heard something strange about this, but he didn't think about it deeply. But later, when he saw the completed picture scroll, he understood it in an instant.
However, understanding is understanding, but he suppressed all kinds of agitation in his heart. Because he promised his uncle that he would restrain his heart and not stir his heart.
So, he deliberately sealed the sentence in his memory, even the light kiss that made him blush and heartbeat, could not shake his Zen heart.
But after going around and around, he was still moved.
When the staff in Master's hand fell, he didn't feel any pain, but remembered what she said that if you get it, you won't be bitter, so he smiled softly.
"I'm not going back."
The wind was still blowing, and I looked into the long night and gave my answer.
I don't reply.
Whether it's the first time I see Jinzhou, or the moon is chasing each other, I don't look back.
Because, this is all I want, even if I am covered in bruises and considered an idiot.
And willingly.
We didn't say anything superfluous. But in each other's eyes, they saw the answer.
couldn't help but smile at each other, and entered the broken temple hand in hand.
In the twenty-first year of Dayong Hanzhong, the abbot of the 37th generation of the national temple sat for a long night, and at the end of the autumn of the second year, the thirteen princes seized the palace, which was the first year of Yongxing. The new emperor believes in Buddhism, and the status of the national temple is more respected.
In the second year of Yongxing, the new emperor came to the national temple, and the new abbot abbot withered master talked about the old things, and the previous abbot talked about Jinzhou, the teachings of the young abbot are still fresh in people's memory, and sighed that if it were not for the young abbot's ignition, he was afraid that he would still be living in chaos.
As for what the teachings were, no one knows them except the people involved.
The new emperor didn't say much, and the matter became an unsolvable mystery.
I can't guess it, and I don't bother to guess it. The reason why the new emperor treats the national temple so well is that he has an inseparable relationship with that person.
The outside world is disturbed and interests are entangled, but it has nothing to do with the two people in the broken temple.
In the third year of planting, the peony in front of the temple finally bloomed.
It's all red.
The green leaves are luxuriant, and the big peonies are gorgeous.
Spring is harmonious, and good flowers are appreciated.
A man in a cloth dress with black hair was leaning on a chaise longue to look at the flowers, and beside him sat a woman with silver hair and a shawl.
The man coughed twice, breaking the silence.
"It's windy outside, let's go inside."
I persuaded.
That year, I braved the snow to go down the mountain, and the injuries on my body were healed during the long night, but I fell into the old disease of body cold, and every winter, not only could I not stand up in pain, but also often coughed.
I gave him a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better. Seeing that spring was coming, his back was a little better, but he began to cough violently again.
"It doesn't matter." Long Night refused. He was already fair-skinned, but at the moment he was sickly, and he became even more pale.
"When the weather is a little warmer, let's go to Luobei. I want to see the place where I lived in my previous life. ”
After a pause, Long Night looked at me and suggested.
I nodded, but looked away. He thought he had hidden it well, but in fact, a little red in the palm of his hand had been seen by me.
He started coughing up blood.
Time is running out.
