Chapter 335: The Diamond Sutra
The three hundred and thirty-fifth round
After the wedding banquet was dispersed, the Emperor of Heaven and Lizhu returned to the Heavenly Palace in parallel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, Lizhu pulled the sleeve of the Emperor of Heaven with two fingers, and her lowered eyebrows were full of joy and shyness. Because she's imagining what they're going to do later.
When she left Xihai half a year ago, Ah Niang and Mama told her that after the wedding banquet, they would enter the cave room, sit together and drink wine, cut a string of green silk and wrap it together, and watch a pair of red candles until dawn.
This means that the newlyweds will be able to live happily ever after for a long time.
But the Emperor of Heaven was very puzzled, and personally sent her to the door of the Xuanjiao Hall in the west of the Heavenly Palace, and did not stay for even a moment before turning around and leaving.
Li Zhu looked at his back in a daze and did not move, until the door of the palace was pushed open by the two maids inside, and Dao Niangniang came in to rest, she turned her eyes away like a puppet, and entered the hall to look around at all things hanging with vermilion silk flowers, only feeling full of irony. After drinking two glasses of wine alone, she lay down, and the phoenix crown she wore was not solved all night.
The Emperor knew that it was a rule in the Nether Realm to keep flowers and candles in the cave room, but he didn't think she would care about these rituals. What's more, in his eyes, the marriage between the two clans was originally a superficial formality, and after today, they only had one more husband and wife name, and nothing else had changed. So he left her to dry out that night.
……
Three days later, it was the day when Ah Zhuo entered the study to ask the Emperor for advice. Not only did she carry the silk book she had written in the last few days, but she also entered the door with a piano. After seeing the Emperor of Heaven, he was not in a hurry to tell him why the piano was used, and when he had approved the folds on the table, she came to the Emperor of Heaven as if offering a treasure, put the paulownia wood body on her crossed legs, and Weng Ran raised her hand to pick up the strings.
Ah Zhuo really has no talent for melody, and the music he has heard is forgotten by his ears, no matter whether it is natural or noisy.
In the past, she had heard this song of the same name no less than 100 times, but she didn't even know its main key, let alone the specific syllables.
However, she can now finish this "Peiying" smoothly, and I don't know how much work she has put in in three days.
The peony fairy helped Ah Zhuo find the Lanyin Heavenly Maiden and asked for the score, so she hid in the small courtyard outside the Huixia Pavilion all day, and practiced the piano for two or three hours. Her fingers began to be reddened by the silk strings, and then they blistered out of calluses, and finally it was painless and itchy, and she practiced more diligently.
didn't eat, drink, or sleep, and almost all the goddesses of the embroidery courtyard thought she had gone mad.
Azhuo is completely immersed in a world that she cannot understand, only for a faint hope that touches people's hearts with the sound of the piano.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers and endures.
It's like a good epiphany trying to keep its own flowering period.
The Emperor of Heaven looked at Ah Zhuo's round face like a full moon, and suddenly noticed that her feelings were open, and she could go out of the pavilion to marry. As soon as I thought about this, my heart suddenly moved. As for moving for the piano or for the people, he couldn't tell the difference.
Ah Zhuo didn't look at him, and said in a trembling voice: "I will not set foot in the Heavenly Palace in the future and disturb the life of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Although she practiced hard for three days to make him emotional, she didn't dare to go any further after playing the tune, and her true thoughts came to mind.
He quietly withdrew his gaze, calmly put the red pen in his hand in the pen wash, thought for a moment and said slowly: "...... Are you saying goodbye to me with a tune? ”
She hid her hands in her sleeves and clenched them into fists, took a deep breath and said, "Yes." ”
"You were the one who wanted to worship me as a teacher, and now you are the one who wants to retreat. What do you think...... Am I someone who can be summoned and come and go? The cinnabar dipped in the tip of the pen has melted into the water, and the Emperor of Heaven raised his head and said lightly, "In the future, I will come to the study every day to report, and I will not ask for leave to be absent." ”
Ah Zhuo didn't expect him to misinterpret his avoidance, blinked his eyes as bright as stars, and hesitated before saying: "I understand Your Majesty's kindness to me, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the pass of the queen of heaven." ”
The Heavenly Emperor showed a rare frowning expression, which meant that he was already displeased to the extreme. A cup of water in the pen wash was flushed with a thin flush, and the red silk that was pulled out when the tip of the pen was out of the water was ambiguously entangled in the water: "Then invite her to come to the study to watch, and be a witness to the purity and flawlessness of the relationship between you and me and my master and apprentice." ”
"Your Majesty has always shown no favoritism, why is it an exception for me?" Ah Zhuo asked puzzled.
A hundred years ago, she worshipped him as a teacher at the Qionglin banquet, and the Emperor of Heaven was very reluctant, so he proposed to let her walk across the Yunshui Bridge alone and go to the study in the Heavenly Palace.
Unexpectedly, he took her hand and led her across the bridge into fasting.
A hundred years later, she found that she had an unexpected desire to admire him. Afraid that she would be rejected, she simply slowly distanced herself from him. If they couldn't be together, she would have looked at him from afar.
Unexpectedly, he can put down the shelf and visit himself in the embroidery courtyard, can pay for the disaster he broke in Lingfeng Building, can tolerate the biased meaning of the pair of dragon and phoenix pillows she embroidered, and can make supper and breakfast for himself in the kitchen.
If all the previous things are the master's reasonable care for the apprentices, then what is the silk painting hanging on the south side of the side hall of the time palace? His painting work is astonishing, and he will become a landscape with a random wave, why do you just hang the cinnabar plum blossom picture on the wall?
"Is there one?" He asked rhetorically in a low voice, listening to her ears not only did not carry weight, but made her feel that she was not confident enough to do it.
Ah Zhuo tried his best to persuade himself to stay awake, slowly let go of his hand, leaving several crooked crescent-shaped marks in his palm, and said: "Your Majesty in front of me is more human than ever. ”
The Emperor of Heaven glanced at her, hung the pen that was still dripping on the shelf, took a jade engraving and buckled it into the cinnabar box, spread out the batches of folds one by one, stamped it at the end, raised his wrist and took the engraving back to the ebony box and said:
"That's all your delusion. The image of the master in the eyes of the apprentice is often false. All right. Don't talk about anything that has nothing to do with schoolwork. Recite the four verses of the Diamond Sutra to me. ”
"If Israel sees me, ask me with a voice. It is a man who walks in an evil way, and he will not see what he comes. Ah Zhuo immediately sat down under his gaze, his lips moved slightly but he didn't make a sound, and he looked like he was racking his brains to think about the famous man in the scroll, "...... Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. ”
The Heavenly Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I have memorized these together with 'not taking the phase, if you don't move'. ”
Ah Zhuo put away the piano and the sound should be. knew that he was using scriptures to persuade himself to let go of his undeserved obsessions, and his heart was bitter, but he still pretended to be safe. She duly turned away from the conversation and discussed with him the thirty-two aspects of the Diamond Sutra.
After two moments, he answered her doubts and took some folds again for correction. (To be continued.) )
