283 Chapter 283: The Twelfth Mission World

[Translation of "The Legend of the Scarlet Clothes":

Since I was a child, my eyes have been different from others, connecting the two worlds of yin and yang, and I can see ghosts and gods. (Yes)? (Meaning)? (Think)? (book)? (Hospital)

There is a peach tree in the courtyard of my house, it grows very luxuriantly, I don't know who planted it, every time the flowers bloom, the peach blossoms are like a pink flame is as spectacular, and there is no peach tree that has grown better than it in the next ten years.

When I was three years old, I could recite poetry, and my neighbors praised me for my great future, and whenever my father heard this, he would smile and stroke his beard, look forward to me more and more, urge me to study, and leave me with no time to play.

When I grew up, I often stood in the courtyard and stared at the peach tree in a daze, sometimes I suddenly laughed, and sometimes I didn't say a word quietly, after the news spread, everyone felt very pity, some people said that I was overworked and hurt my brain, and some people said that I might have been caught by evil things.

My mother sought medical advice for my symptoms, but in the end she couldn't find a solution, and although it seemed that my intelligence was not affected by the symptoms, my father was still very ashamed.

When I was seven years old, I remember a girl in a scarlet dress appeared on the peach tree, day and night, always at an unpredictable time, at first only faintly visible at the corners of the skirt, and then I could look at her, and even smile at each other.

At that time, I tried to climb a tree and tried to talk to her, but I couldn't succeed, and I was sad and disappointed for days.

On the Buddha's birthday that year, my father tried all kinds of ways to fight for the head incense of Yuanshan Temple, but on the way to incense was blocked by the official, I was young and vigorous, and I was not afraid of the people of the official family, standing in front of the sedan chair of the county order and said to them: "Yuanshan Temple is an important place for Buddhism, it is not suitable to use force, please put down your weapons." ”

Someone in the official mission said, "It's okay to put down your weapon, but I'm going to ask you a question." ”

I said, "Just ask." ”

He said, "Since Buddhism is not suitable for the use of force, then why does Manjushri hold the wisdom sword in his hand and Veda holds the demon pestle in his hand?" Should we still be treated separately if we say that all beings are equal? ”

I replied, "Don't you see that Manjushri has no blade in his hand and that Veda is surrounded by flames?" Manjushri holds the sword to cut off the karma of sentient beings, and Veda constantly endures the torment of the flames in order to protect the Dharma. ”

When the abbot of Yuanshan Temple heard this, he laughed and said, "This kid is so good! ”

The county magistrate was embarrassed when he heard it, and immediately went home.

The abbot said that I had a Buddha fate, but my life was incomplete, and I was young and frail, and if I was an ordinary person's parents, it was easy to be demonic, so seven days later, I was ordained in Yuanshan Temple and made a small novice.

Although the temple is small, but because of the blessing of the Buddha, I have been in the temple for nine years, I have never seen any ghosts, when the moon is in the sky at night, the silver light sprinkles the golden window, I only feel that life is very comfortable, about the place where I am different from ordinary people, I completely forgot about it!

But the happy time is always short-lived, an official who was reprimanded by the abbot in the early years was promoted to the head of the criminal department, slandered the abbot of the temple for bad morality, and even rumored that the people in the mountain temple were transformed by spirits and evil laws to harm people. So in the late autumn, the government sent people to the temple to ask for advice, and the wrestlers surrounded the temple and did not let go of a single living mouth, and the entire temple was burned by the fire.

And I happened to be greedy for fun and forgot the time, and as a result, I missed my homework, and was punished to think about it at the bottom of the cliff, so I survived, and when I returned to the temple to see such a scene, I was very sad, and after surpassing the dead in the temple, I returned home with a sad heart.

The news of the destruction of the monastery had been reported back to the family, and my mother thought that something had happened to me, and she was very sad, so she did a ritual for me, hoping that I would be at peace after I died.

The little boy servant of the family ran away screaming like a ghost when he saw me, and even his father wept with emotion when he learned that I had survived.

I haven't been home for ten years, and everything at home is still the same as before, which makes me feel a little trance, because it is late autumn, and the peach trees in the courtyard are withering, I stand under the trees, remembering what happened when I was a child, and I am silent and speechless.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the peach trees bloomed as if spring had arrived, and countless flowers bloomed, and the petals fell as if it were raining, and the scene was so beautiful that I don't know how to describe it.

The girl in scarlet clothes in my memory danced in the wind in the rain of flowers, with a beautiful smile, looking at her, I suddenly felt a little moved.

But such an unusual scene is really a little scary, it is just a falling flower, and all the neighbors around it know about it, and finally even the people of the prefecture and county have heard about it.

Taishou thought that such a thing was a symbol of auspiciousness, and sent a dozen people to dig up the peach tree, symbolically giving our family a little money, leaving only a large hole in the courtyard.

My father tried his best to stop the men sent by Taishou, but he was whipped, and my mother became very haggard because she was frightened and sick, and I had to pick up all the petals left in the garden, put them in my bag, and wear them around my waist as a souvenir.

However, in the second month, I heard the news that Taishou had been demoted to the Southern Wilderness.

Probably because he wanted to offer the peach tree that represented auspiciousness to the authorities, but after the peach tree was planted, all the flowers and plants in the garden withered overnight, and even the insects and birds were not spared, and all died.

Seeing such a scene, the people in power were very angry, and drove him to the Southern Wilderness after beating the Taishou with twenty rods, and later heard that the Southern Wilderness was full of miasma along the way, and the Taishou had not yet arrived in office, so he died violently because of a serious illness.

Since then, the girl in the scarlet dress has only appeared in my dreams, and I can't see it when I wake up, and I feel very lost, probably there is nothing perfect in the world, and I can meet her in my dreams on a blind date, which is enough. 】

[The plot synopsis of the movie "Scarlet Clothes":

There is a very ordinary-looking village and town at the foot of the courtyard mountain, there is a large family surnamed Zhuo in the village and town, and the Zhuo family has a young son who has been very smart since he was a child, and he can memorize poems and songs at the age of three or four, and is highly expected by his family, saying that he will definitely be able to get ahead in the future.

But soon, the Zhuo family found that their little master often sat in the yard in a daze, and sometimes laughed inexplicably, staying for an hour or two, and there was no response no matter how he shouted.

As a result, there were gradually bad rumors around that Young Master Zhuo might be too smart, causing some defects in other places, or being possessed by something.

The Zhuo family tried a lot of ways but couldn't get him back to normal, and later saw that he was still smart in addition to this problem, so they could only let it go.

When the young master of the Zhuo family was seven years old, Master Zhuo donated a lot of incense money and obtained the qualification to burn incense in Yuanshan Temple on the Buddha's birthday, but he was stopped by the county order on the way, intending to suppress people with power and snatch the opportunity to go to the incense.

The abbot of the temple on the side liked Master Zhuo very much, and he took advantage of the situation to help, and the county order left in shame and annoyance, and the Zhuo family successfully burned incense.

As a result, Young Master Zhuo was left in the Yuanshan Temple.

The abbot said that Young Master Zhuo has a special physique and can see ghosts and spirits, so his behavior is different from ordinary people, and if he wants to become the same as ordinary people, he has to let him live in the temple and not leave until he becomes an adult, so from that day on, Young Master Zhuo became a little novice in the temple.

However, the county order of the small belly chicken intestine was jealous of the Zhuo family and the Yuanshan Temple because of the head incense, but because the Zhuo family had a relative who was a big official in the capital, it was difficult to start, so he could only target the Yuanshan Temple, and released many rumors, maliciously slandering the reputation of the Yuanshan Temple, but the Yuanshan Temple is a well-known Buddhist temple, the incense is strong, the wish is sufficient, and the monks in the temple are kind, not afraid of the powerful, and treat the pilgrims equally, so these rumors did not play a role.

Until ten years later.

Because he married his daughter to a powerful person in the capital, the county order climbed to a powerful person, and finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge, slandering the monks in the temple as all monsters, and having an affair with female pilgrims, it is an evil temple.

The rumors spread more and more, and finally in the late autumn of that year, the government ordered the temple to be destroyed.

Yuanshan Temple was burned by the fire and only ashes remained, and none of the people in the temple ran out, and the Zhuo family, who got the news, set up a mourning hall at home, hoping that the little master could rest in peace, but just after the first seven, the little young master returned home.

It turned out that he was saved because he was punished under the Jingsi cliff in the back mountain, and when he returned to the temple to see that there were only ruins left, he fainted sadly several times, and then continued to exceed the ruins, until he returned home after the first seven days, and almost died of hunger and exhaustion on the way.

On the same day, the entire Zhuo family was busy dismantling the mourning hall, removing the white cloth, and finding a doctor for him to recuperate.

In the middle of the night, a pink shadow appeared next to the little master's bed, which accompanied him all night, while he dreamed all night.

In the dream, he recalled his childhood.

When he was a child, he could see the fairy on the peach tree in his yard, and his family was very strict with him because they hoped that he would become a talent, and he only felt relaxed and happy when he was with the peach tree demon, but this memory was sealed after he entered the Yuanshan Temple, and he didn't remember it again until today.

Early the next morning, Young Master Zhuo opened his eyes and found that there was no one around him, and dragged his body that had not yet recovered to the courtyard, staring at the peach blossom tree with only dead branches left in a daze because it was autumn.

The Zhuo family remembered that the little young master had a problem since he was a child, and he returned home because the temple was destroyed before he was an adult, and he suddenly felt very panicked, Mrs. Zhuo hurried over, and before she could say anything to her son, a gust of wind suddenly blew, almost blowing people down, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

The wind gradually subsided, and when everyone opened their eyes, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

The peach tree, which was like a dead branch just now, bloomed full of peach blossoms in the blink of an eye, and the whole yard was filled with petals, like a rain of petals.

But the little master of their family laughed, opened his arms as if to greet something, and then held the person who no one could see and spun in circles.

The Zhuo family was frightened, and Master Zhuo hurriedly asked people to seal the courtyard, tied the little young master back to the room, and urgently sent someone to find the Heavenly Master to catch demons.

But before the Heavenly Master arrived, the news of the peach tree of the Zhuo family blooming in late autumn spread throughout the entire village and town, attracting countless people to watch, but everyone was afraid of the monster and stood far away.

After the Heavenly Master came, he circled around the peach tree a few times in full view of everyone, and said to Master Zhuo with a smile that this peach tree was not an ominous thing, but the patron saint of the Zhuo family's luck, and the reason why she bloomed was because she saw a partner she hadn't seen for a long time, and she was too happy and forgetful, and it was okay.

Hearing this, the old man of the Zhuo family was overjoyed, let go of his youngest son, and let him stand under the peach tree, and sure enough, the peach tree blossomed a lot, and the scene was shocking.

But the heavenly master's statement attracted the coveted people, the county Taishou heard about this and sent people overnight to hope that the Zhuo family would dedicate auspicious rui to the emperor, of course, the Zhuo family was opposed, but no matter how big the Zhuo Mansion was, after all, the official could not fight, and finally the Zhuo master was injured, and the tree was also dug up, and the people of the Taishou Mansion also deliberately left ten money, saying that it was the money to buy the tree, and the seriously injured Zhuo Lao vomited blood.

The Zhuo family has a backer in the capital, but Taishou is not a dry eater, and the power behind it is even greater, coupled with the county order that heard the wind and waited for an opportunity to retaliate, the robbery of the peach fairy guardian god was jointly suppressed, and finally the Taishou successfully sent the peach tree into the imperial garden in the name of "dedication to auspiciousness".

After recuperating in the affairs of the Zhuo family, Young Master Zhuo, who had recuperated his body, took a scholar to embark on the road to find the scarlet-clothed peach fairy.

On the way, the little young master learned that the peach fairy was planted in the imperial garden, and there was a special gardener responsible for cultivating, so he tried his best to sneak into the palace, and then in the imperial garden, because he was threatened by Taishou and others, he said that if he didn't bloom, he would start with the Zhuo family, so he had to compromise and meet the peach tree with a few scattered peach blossoms.

As soon as she saw the little young master, the girl in scarlet clothes threw herself into his arms and cried, saying that she couldn't live long from the lifeline now, and she still had to hold on to the flowers, so he quickly tried to find a way to save the Zhuo family, the little young master was taken aback, and quickly contacted the relatives of the Zhuo family in the capital, and finally thought of a way.

They poured the special potion in the Imperial Garden, so that the plants and trees in the Imperial Garden were centered on the peach tree, and a large area withered overnight, and many dead birds and dead insects were thrown in the Imperial Garden, and then spread the news that the Taishou and those behind the Taishou were plotting to kill the royal family with bad intentions in the capital.

The backer behind Taishou fell, and Taishou was also heavily punished, and then demoted to the Southern Wilderness Town to guard the barbarians, but he died of illness on the way before he could take office.

The peach tree in the Imperial Garden was dug up and abandoned in the wilderness, because he was afraid of being retaliated by the goblins, the emperor did not dare to burn the tree, so he could only do so.

The Zhuo family secretly transported the tree back and replanted it, and then took care of it carefully, and the peach tree finally came back to life.

After that, the little master lived a happy life with the scarlet-clothed peach fairy. 】
