They entered the hill and stopped under an old tree, and a flock of crows flew out of the hole in the root of the tree, with a pungent stench. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion also brought out a few rotting little fox corpses, about three or four, all of which were already in tatters. The old monk recited the words of Amitabha Buddha and said, "The one you killed was only the mother of this nest of foxes, who was foraging for food for her children." All kinds of life in this world have their own way of survival, just as a fox forages for a hare, and a hare feeds for grass. I didn't want to stop it, but I didn't want to see it happen, but it happened. Maybe this is the debt you should bear. ”

The little apprentice collected the bones of the little fox and buried them with the mother fox, but every day after that, he still had nightmares and heard a fox wailing in his ears. Soon the little apprentice also died, and the old monk buried him next to the foxes, and there were no more monks in that temple from then on......

Xi Cui felt that she had been tricked after listening to the story of the old monk, she wanted to know the origin of the child, but the old monk told herself some unknown foxes, rabbits and old monks! What a mess! But before she could ask, the kid scolded her for being stupid.

Seeing that she was at the gate of Huangjue Temple, Xi Cui felt that it was necessary to keep a distance from this old monk, her reputation was already big enough, and it would be okay to let people see this old monk with him today? But the old monk didn't want to do what she wanted, so he grabbed her and went up to meet the two little monks who were sweeping the floor at the door.

As soon as everyone who was resting in the meditation room heard that Master Huineng was coming, they immediately came to their senses, and even Wang Shaoyan stood up and walked to the door, ready to greet him. Wang Shangshu seemed to know that his son would come out, so he waited at the door, and when he saw that his body was vague, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him. Wang Liu followed behind the father and son with his head bowed, and there was a faint joy on his face.

The abbot had already wrapped himself in a robe and came out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, followed by a group of elders and monks, Huineng took Xi Cui's arm and walked in front, and Mama Wu and the two little servants followed behind.

"It's that Xi Cui again, it seems that he's really blessed!" I don't know who among the female dependents said it, which caused a few echoes and a few sighs, and a few cold snorts. Wang Shaoyan didn't hear it, he looked at Huineng walking towards him, his face was kind, and he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. Every time he sees this smiling face, he will be very happy, Huineng said that it is fate, he always feels that there must be something else, but he doesn't know what it is.

Walking in front of Wang Shaoyan, Hui Neng let go of Xi Cui's arm, his hand lightly rested on Wang Shaoyan's wrist, checked the pulse, and then smiled, "It's much better, it'll be fine soon." ”

While he was talking, Xi Cui hurriedly found Xi Yunting and stood beside her, but he didn't want to be seen by Hui Neng. He walked towards this side, Xi Cui thought he was coming to find him again, and just as he was about to have a seizure, he heard a pop behind him, and when he looked back, an old woman with gorgeous hair was kneeling behind him.

Huineng did not slow down because of the old woman's kneeling, but he walked up to the old woman with a calm face, and recited Amitabha Buddha with his hands folded. Then he walked into a meditation room. After a long time, a few names slowly floated out of it: "Wang Li's, Shaoyan, Xi Cui, you come in." ”

The old woman struggled to remember but almost fell to the ground, Xi Cui hurriedly helped her, in exchange for a hoarse thank you from the old man. Wang Shaoyan walked over, bowed respectfully to the old man, and called out to his grandmother, and Xi Cui's hand on the old man's arm trembled. This is the old lady of the Wang family?

Wang Li smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes touched the white hair on his sideburns, which was a little desolate. The withered hand slapped on the back of Xi Cui's hand, and the rough touch made Xi Cui suddenly feel a little sentimental. Mama Wu said that the old lady of the Wang family was also a very powerful person back then, and she reminded herself to be more wary of this person at that time, and even thought about dealing with her last night. But now that I see that I am like this, I suddenly feel like a villain in vain.

There are very few things in the meditation room, and the most eye-catching thing is the three bedding laid on the ground. Monk Huineng sat cross-legged on the floor between the three pavings, useless with nothing under him. When he saw them come in, he looked at the foreshadowing in front of him and motioned for them to sit down.

"Since the master is willing to come to me, is my day come?" As soon as Wang Li sat down, he spoke.

Huineng smiled, "Lao Wei is not the king of Hades, your life is not in the hands of Lao Hao." ”

"In that case, what does the master mean by coming here?"

"The old man has never been for life or death. I'm looking for you this time just for the kid outside. ”

"Kids out there?" Wang Li looked at Wang Shaoyan, then at Xi Cui, and said, "I thought that the master was thinking about these two children, but it turned out that they were outside. But I don't know which one? ”

"Since you already see life and death, why do you hold on to it?"

"If I can not care about my own life or death, why should I care about the life and death of others? Guru? Wang Li said with a smile, "Buddhism emphasizes a fate, and the old woman has also recited a lot of scriptures in this temple, but she has never been able to understand it." Why don't you help me with the master, if you can open the knot in my heart, and I will give what the master wants, then what? ”

"How do you know what I want?"

"Think of my old woman, what is left now that is worth remembering by those people outside? I don't have much kindness to them, and what can they bother to visit every year is anything but the Danshu Iron Scroll? ”

Dan book iron scroll? Xi Cui's eyes instantly bloomed with a thousand lights, I have only heard of it and never seen it, it is said that with this thing, even if it is a major crime of rebellion, as long as it is not the main culprit, it can save my life. Wang Li actually has such a good thing? Then it's no wonder that people are worried. Who does the old monk want this thing for? People outside are either rich or expensive, and they want other people's lives, so where is the need to save their lives? Except for her poor young lady...... Wait, Miss? Could it be ......

Xi Cui's gaze swirled between the old monk and Wang Li. If she can get that thing in her hands, will the young lady still need to protect herself in the Wang family? That's just going sideways, okay? That thing is simply the second thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and it is not a thousand-year-old Ganoderma that can only save Wang Shaoyan from a person's illness, but a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that can save anyone's life! Mrs. Wang, where did you put it?

"That's it, it's not supposed to be the boss's business." Huineng closed his eyes and began to meditate, "Shaoyan's life has been saved, you can go down the mountain." ”

"After so many years, I'm used to the mountains, and I can't go down." Wang Li closed his eyes and seemed to start meditating.

"You also know that the Buddha has a fate, and after more than ten years of no fate, it is not fate, and it is still impossible to kneel and sit and force it, do you know how many more decades you can continue to stay here?" Huineng's voice caught his ears, but his mouth didn't move. Xi Cui could see it clearly, the old monk's mouth had been closed, obviously Wang Li also heard this voice, opened her slowly closed eyes, and two lines of turbid tears slipped down......

"Am I really so guilty that even the Buddha can't save me?" Wang Li leaned over and solemnly kowtowed three times, "In this case, why should I force myself all these years? The empty gate is only for those who can be crossed, and the rain only moistens the spiritual grass, right? Haven't I done enough over the years? ”

Wang Li was a little crazy, she seemed to be about to rush to Huineng's side, but Wang Shaoyan got up to stop her but was pushed to the ground. Xi Cui didn't care about helping him at this time, her hand kept pulling the hysterical Wang Li, but the Huineng monk was dead and sat still, if it weren't for his undulating chest and breathing, Xi Cui couldn't help but go up to test whether he had passed away. It seems that every time he encounters this old monk, there will be problems, and Xi Cui feels that he can't get involved with the monk in the future anyway, it's really troublesome.

Seeing that Wang Shaoyan got up on his own and looked fine, Xi Cui put his mind at ease and pulled Wang Li outside the foreshadowing, "Isn't it okay for the Buddhist family to save yourself by yourself?" You all have the ability to commit the great sin that the Buddha did not dare to come to the rescue, why don't you have the ability to create a great floating slaughter that the monk can't ask for? Besides, fate is something that is hard to come by, and there will be no one who can say for sure. But how to say that it is all about meeting fate, but I have never heard of sitting and waiting for fate, how can you hide in this old temple in the mountains and not go out? Since the old monk told you to go down the mountain, then you should go down the mountain, maybe the opportunity is waiting for you somewhere. ”

Xi Cui's nonsense really calmed down Wang Liu, she looked at Xi Cui, and remembered the hand she inadvertently stretched out outside the meditation room, it was the first pair of hands to approach her without any purpose in more than ten years, "You yellow-haired little girl dare to make a big statement in Huangjue Temple, do you know what you just said?" Are you telling me to be a Buddha? ”

Did she say so? Xi Cui carefully recalled what she just said, didn't she? "The slave didn't mean that, I was a little anxious just now, old lady, don't take it to heart. In fact, do you think that the old monk asked you to go down the mountain because the Buddha didn't want you? No, the slave and maid feel that cultivation lies in the human heart, and they don't care where they are, let alone in what way. You have been cultivating in this temple for so many years, and you haven't cultivated it, so it only means that this method is not suitable for you. Why don't you listen to the monk and go down the mountain and try a different way? "Hurry up and cover up the words that the old monk said that made her angry, it's actually not bad to be able to get this one down the mountain, at least the Wang family has one more master who can compete with Wang Liu's family, so that she can't concentrate on dealing with Miss, right?

"Do you know the teachings of Buddhism?" Wang Li suddenly straightened his clothes and sat cross-legged on the mat, looked at Xi Cui and said, "Why did I forget that you were brought in by Master Huineng, how can you look at it without a little understanding?" Come on, little girl, tell me why I have been guarding the Buddha for so many years and have never been liberated? ”

Do you really want to talk about Buddhism? Xi Cui felt that she was left with a fool's errand. All the twists and turns in my mind over the years were all practiced when I coaxed Xi Yunting, but Xi Yunting is just a seven or eight-year-old child's temperament, can that set deal with the old lady? But she seems to be riding a tiger now, right? "What kind of relief do you want?" Enter blind mode.

"I didn't think about it. I only know that after all these years, I am still afraid of death, afraid of losing what I have. Wang Li's gaze seemed to see a far away.

"And what do you have?"

"I ...... I have...... A lot of things are gone now, but as long as I still have that thing in my hand, nothing else can run away, and no one dares not to care about me! Her face was a little hideous.

She must be talking about the Danshu Iron Scroll! "What do you want from that?"

What do you get? Rights, status? No...... She's already this age, what do you want to do? Alive? She's scared to death! Yes, "Live, I'm afraid to die." Everybody wants me dead, and without that thing they want my life at any moment. ”

What a sin this old lady has done? Make yourself like this? Xi Cui felt that she was about to lose her weight. "I never knew of anything that could make Hades not take a man's soul. Didn't Hui Neng say that it was the king of Hades who wanted you to die, can your things be stopped? ”

"Who said it was Hades? It's people! ”

"Old lady, you're thinking too much, really. If someone really wants you to die, it's even more useless, even if the emperor can't explicitly order people to kill you, find someone behind your back to say a word, what can you do as an old lady hiding in the temple? Do you think about it? The thing on the left and right is not life-saving, on the contrary, you will cause unnecessary trouble because of that thing. Why else would you hide in this temple? Isn't that the thing harmful? ”

"But I'm reluctant to let go, what should I do?"

"You should pick it up before you can say put it down! Have you really ever taken that thing? It's just hiding it so that no one can find it, and you're scared of yourself, right? Although the slave and maid do not feel any Buddhist teachings, they always believe that many things in this world are the same in principle. For example, when the slave maid was a child, the family was poor and could not wear new clothes every year for the New Year, and one year my father said that he would make new clothes for us to wear during the New Year, and the slave and maid were happy for many days at that time. It's all new clothes in my dreams. But at the end of the year, my father was sick, not to mention making new clothes, it was a problem to eat, and my father felt sorry that we didn't have new clothes to wear, and we said it didn't matter, and old clothes could also be used for the New Year. But until now, I have an indescribable yearning for new clothes, and even now that I can buy myself new clothes to wear, I still feel that the hole in my heart has not been blocked. Do you think this is a slave who can't let go? In fact, it's not that she really can't let go, the slave maid feels that if she really put on that new dress back then, she is afraid that she would have forgotten about it all these years. So, you can only really put it down if you really pick it up, right? ”

“……”

"If I were you, I would go down the mountain, take the things that belong to me in my hands, and when I feel tired of playing for a few days, I will dispose of them as I please. Let's just sit in the mortal dust and participate in meditation and enlightenment, this is really seeing all the things in the red dust, but the cause and effect in the world. Speaking of this, Xi Cui felt that it was almost over, and the little thing in her stomach had been emptied. If the old lady is obsessed with it anymore, she can't control it, it's a big deal to go back and then look at her young lady carefully, if she continues to die like this, she doesn't know if the young lady can keep her, but she will definitely not live long.

Wang Shaoyan didn't speak, he sat quietly and watched Xi Cui's eyes flash, listening to the words spoken in her immature tone, although they seemed shallow, they were actually profound and abnormal. She kept saying that she didn't understand Buddhism, but there was no digression in the words she said and the truths she said. Before, I only thought that she was just lucky to be praised by Master Huineng for a few words, and she was spread by the rumors in the market, which attracted the attention of her mother, so that she tried her best to get it to her side, but it was just a possibility to keep herself safe. Although he didn't like his mother's actions, he thought of Xi Yunting's liking for Xi Cui, so he could only leave this girl in the open house, and even mercilessly provoked his own thoughts, just in case she had any possibility of betraying the master. Now it seems that Yun Ting should be lucky to have such a girl by her side, and her previous self-thinking smart means seem a little childish. She should have seen that she was so smart, right?

Hui Neng didn't know when he had opened his eyes, he smiled deeply, and couldn't help nodding to Xi Cui. Fate is really elusive, it's like such a good girl can't leave it to his favorite child......

The door of the meditation room was opened, and Huineng came out first, then Wang Shaoyan, followed by Xi Cui, and Wang Li stayed inside. Huineng said goodbye to the abbot and left, not even leaving the last return. Xi Cui looked at the dashing back and suddenly felt a little reluctant, although this old monk hurt her, but in the end, she still couldn't be angry with him.

Wang Shangshu quietly walked up to his son and asked softly, "Can your grandmother tell the whereabouts of that thing?" ”

Wang Shaoyan shook his head, just looked at Xi Cui and said, "Grandmother may go down the mountain and go back to the house, I'm afraid that I won't give it to anyone for the time being." Because she wanted to pick it up first and then put it down. ”

"What did you say?" Wang Shangshu looked at his son, and followed his gaze to Xi Cui, who was laughing beside Xi Yunting. It's that girl again, last time Aunt Yang ran out inexplicably and was able to come back safely with this girl, and now even the old lady has something to do with her? Is it really not so simple for Hui Neng to take a fancy to people?

Not long after, the door of the meditation room opened again, and Wang Li came out of it and looked at the people in front of him, "In the future, everyone doesn't have to work so hard to go up the mountain, I will go back to the house with you today." Liu, I'll take your sedan chair back. As he spoke, he walked up to Xi Cui, took Xi Cui's hand and smiled, "Child, what's your name?" With whom? Shall I follow the old lady in the future? ”

"No! Xi Cui is my maid, no one will give it! Xi Yunting opened Wang Li's hand and took Xi Cui in her arms. Wang Li's expression froze, and he looked at Wang Liu, "Whose family is this?" ”

Wang Shaoyan hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Xi Yunting, "Grandmother, my grandson came here this time to let you meet your granddaughter-in-law, she is Shaoyan's new wife, Xi Yunting, the daughter of the Huai'an Hou Mansion." ”

"What?" Wang Li looked at Liu almost with murderous eyes. Although she has been in the mountains for more than ten years, she also knows how smart her grandson is, how did she marry a fool in the hands of the Liu family? Even if the Wang family is defeated, it won't come to such a field, right?
