Chapter 113: The Valley of Forgetfulness
White Lotus's body fell into the dark abyss, her ears could hear the whirring wind, and her nose could smell the damp musty smell, the strong smell of grass blades, and the cold smell of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Bailian thought, she is still so awake, it seems that it is her body that has fallen, not her soul, not a dream.
The bottom of the valley is soft, there is a glimmer of light in the dark, I don't know if it is shot down from above or from somewhere, Bai Lian blinked her eyes and tried to see clearly, but she still couldn't determine the up, left, and right directions, so she had to follow the light. can walk, effortlessly, indicating that this light is coming horizontally, not from above, walking and walking, it may be a long tunnel, and the yin wind blowing in her face suddenly made Bai Lian unable to open her eyes.
Suddenly, in the darkness, there was the sound of chanting "Amitabha Buddha", low and loud, continuous, like the sound of the earth from the depths of the earth.
Occasionally, it was mixed with the laughter of a child who "laughed and laughed", and then this laughter was mixed with the voice of Amitabha Buddha, and the whirlwind shook Bai Lian's eardrums, making her feel that she had entered a realm that was not Buddha and not earth.
The light was expanding, and Bai Lian saw countless rays of light coming down, and looking back, Bai Lian realized that she had completed a dark journey and entered a well-lit place.
When you look up, isn't there a big starry sky overhead? It turned out that these countless rays of light were coming down from the starry sky from above, just like the lights coming down from the top down on the stage.
Under the silent starry sky, a bell-like sound sounded, is this the sound of the stars shaking?
Suddenly, a large meadow resounded with a strong rhythm of drums and music, and hundreds of masked dancers appeared on the ground, dancing freely to the happy rhythm like a giant masquerade.
The white lotus also involuntarily writhed with this rhythm, twisting, twisting, twisting, jumping, jumping, jumping, jumping and jumping, jumping out of all the melancholy and pain in her heart, and dispelling all the troubles in the world.
After about half an hour of dancing, Bai Lian was a little tired from dancing, but she still wanted to jump, because at this time she had forgotten all her troubles, and she really felt that she was out of her body, how relaxed! What joy!
The music stopped abruptly, and among the people wearing masks, there was a group of about 100 people who took off their masks, and Bai Lian saw that they were some children about ten years old, little boys and little girls, wearing all kinds of clothes, how cute. Suddenly the music rises again, the children jump again, and White Lotus joins them.
After dancing for more than ten minutes, the children stopped, and another group of masked people took off their masks, revealing their original faces, it turned out to be a group of happy men, young men jumping and jumping, their eyes were only happy, only pure and innocent happiness, and they could not see the slightest bit of love and joy of desire.
Another group took off their masks and were a group of young women, their youthful bodies, full of charm, and every piece of skin that writhed told Bai Lian what happiness was.
Then there is a group of middle-aged and elderly men and a group of middle-aged and elderly women, although their masks are no longer young, but the happiness with a smile is the real youth, the youth of the heart is the real youth, and the happiness is the whole meaning of youth.
There were nearly 100 people in each group, almost 500 people in five groups, and they were now mixed together, jumping and writhing, burning with joy.
The white lotus joined in the chorus of their dance, joined them in the great torrent of happiness, forgetting themselves and the world.
When the dance was finally over, they stopped, and White Lotus had become one of them, and White Lotus asked who they were and what the place was.
"We are all elves of the Valley of Forgetfulness, they are tree elves, they are grass elves, they are wildflower elves, in short, all the plants in this Valley of Forgetfulness are us, and we are all the plant elves of this Valley of Forgetfulness." The elves scrambled to tell White Lotus.
"Valley of Forgetting!" Bai Lian was pleasantly surprised, "It turns out that I fell into the valley of forgetfulness, this is a paradise!" ”
"It's not just a paradise, it's a paradise!" The elves said, "Look again! ”
Bai Lian fixed his eyes and looked again, only to see more than 500 adults and children, men and women, all sitting cross-legged, hands together, singing Amitabha Buddha together, the yellow bell Da Lu-like voice resounded in the sky, the starry sky was even more brilliant, and the entire Valley of Forgetfulness was immersed in the golden light of the Buddha's music.
Bai Lian also joined in this torrent of selflessness, and she seemed to be in Elysium! What troubles in the world, what love between men and women, all disappear, only this selfless great love bliss is the avenue of human and life pursuit!
Bai Lian just wants to sit still in this valley of forgetfulness.
I don't know when, Bai Lian found herself sitting in her own bedroom in the temple, wasn't she dreaming? No way! Totally impossible!
"Master, master!" Bai Lian called the master over.
"What's wrong, White Lotus?" The master asked.
"Master, did you see me going up the mountain last night? See me back? See my bedroom light on? Bai Lian asked repeatedly.
"I didn't see you come back for dinner last night, how could you be in the bedroom, all night, your bedroom was dark, I was worried about you going somewhere without saying goodbye." The master said.
"It seems to be true, I went to the bottom of the valley of forgetfulness yesterday, to Elysium, but how did I come back?" Bai Lian said with joy on her face.
"White Lotus, you, aren't you, sick again? You're crazy, aren't you? "The abbot feels a little scared, she is a little jealous when White Lotus is normal, and she is a little scared when White Lotus is abnormal." Amitabha! Buzz! ”
The abbot recited the six-character mantra, but Bai Lian said, "Master, I didn't go mad, what I said was true." Or today, I will take you up the mountain to see if we can find the Valley of Forgetfulness again, go, if we really find the Valley of Forgetfulness, we will never go back to this temple, we practice every day, not to transcend the red dust, since we can enter the Elysium when we are alive, why not? ”
Of course, the master hopes that what Bai Lian said is true, so it will save a lot of trouble, take a shortcut to Bliss, and ask for it! However, the two of them had traveled to almost all the mountains near the temple, and they had not seen any bottomless pits, let alone the Valley of Forgetfulness and Elysium.
