Chapter 8: The Soul Returns to the Soul, and the Pure Heart of Maoshan (2)

"In ancient times, there were several people who were loyal and filial, and they have been worried about the country and homesick for five years. Once he died, he still survived in the community, and Gao Tang relied on his brothers and sisters. ”

"In the twentieth year, he decided to be a half-disobedient person, and he confessed that he was a sinner. The old tears recalled that her hair was white, and she was even more sad when she heard the bad news. ”

-- Lin Shigong's "Desperate Poems" two poems

The mountain behind the Lingyan Temple, the Lin Temple.

Lin Liyi and Lin Lizhong took Lin Junxiong to Lin Shigong's tablet to thank their ancestors for their protection, and Lin Junxiong recovered.

Li Yuanhao knelt in front of Lin Shigong's tablet and really had complicated thoughts, he even thought that if Lin Shigong knew that the body of the person kneeling in front of him was his grandson's, and his soul and mind had been replaced by another person, this resolute hero, I don't know how he would feel. Since Lin Shigong returned to the temple according to the genealogy after his death, Li Yuanhao saw that there were only a few tablets on it, and the tablet of the cheap hero grandfather Lin Shigong was in the middle of the top row. Li Yuanhao had a feeling of being peeped at in front of the hero's tablet, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak, and his face suddenly became abnormal.

Lin Lizhong thought that Lin Junxiong had not fully recovered, so he hurriedly helped him up.

Lin Liyi stepped forward and bowed to the incense and came to Lin Junxiong, looked at his thin nephew, sighed softly, and then said: "Jun'er, your grandfather only has two sons, me and your father, and your uncle only has your two cousins now, and your father only has one son, although the main family has succeeded a child, but after all, he is not the descendant of our branch." So your grandfather's wish for your generation can only rely on you to work hard, although you are still young, but the mission of the family still has to be told to you, I hope it will not be too heavy a burden for you. In this troubled era, although your father and I have worked hard and purchased some properties in the provincial capital, our ability is still not enough. ”

Lin Liyi paused for a moment before continuing: "Before your grandfather died, he sent back a letter to explain his wishes, which is also the mission of the descendants of the Lin family in the future. One is that the descendants of my Ryukyu Lin family immediately returned to the main clan to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors after his death; Second, Ryukyu is located on the side of jackal Japan, and if Ryukyu seeks to get rid of Japanese rule, the descendants of the Lin family should try their best to help; Third, future generations should respect the Shang family; Fourth, if there is an independence day in the Ryukyus, my bones should be returned to Kume Village in the Ryukyus for burial. ”

Li Yuanhao, as a Chinese, is of course no problem first; Second, Ryukyu used to be a vassal of China, but now it is under the enslavement of Japan, and if Ryukyu starts a war of independence, he can also help with all his might; Third, the Shang family can't figure out where it is, so it doesn't matter how to respect it; Fourth, Li Yuanhao didn't know if he could see the day of Ryukyu independence, so he could only do his best.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanhao knelt down again, and then said to Lin Shigong's spiritual position: "Grandson should always remember grandpa's last wish and work hard for it for the rest of his life." ”

Lin Liyi nodded, helped Lin Junxiong up, and then said: "January 1 next year, it is the 500th anniversary celebration of the migration of the twelve Fujian families to Ryukyu, although Japan is now occupying Ryukyu, and our Lin family has also returned to the main family, but the other twelve families have decided to hold a celebration ceremony on Aka Island, not far from Naha, and also invited our Lin family, I discussed it with your uncle and decided to go." As the younger generation of the Lin family, you must also participate, so you should fully recover as soon as possible during this time, and we will leave after the 35th anniversary of your grandfather's death on November 20. ”

After the three of them left the temple, Li Yuanhao sent Lin Lizhong and Lin Liyi away, and came to the cliff behind the temple alone. Second, Lin Shigong's last wish, thinking that he wanted to recover Ryukyu and return Ryukyu to the Chinese territory as the goal, Li Yuanhao was a little helpless and wanted to laugh, he was a weak young man, how difficult it was to set such a lofty goal.

The mountain wind blew, Li Yuanhao shivered, the warm spring mountain wind still carried a hint of coolness in the evening, and when he turned around and was about to walk back, he didn't know when Master Yuanjue was already standing behind him.

"Master, when did you come?"

"It doesn't matter when it comes, the old man carefully observed and found that the donor was very depressed after coming back from the dead, I wonder if the old man can solve the donor's doubts?" Master Yuanjue stroked his beard in one hand and held a Zen staff in the other, staring at Li Yuanhao and asked.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanhao said: "Master, I found that I couldn't find my true self. ”

Master Yuanjue smiled and said, "That old man will tell you a story, maybe you can help the donor." ”

Shakyamuni said at a Dharma meeting: "There was a wealthy businessman in a certain place who had four wives together: the first wife was clever and lovely, and she accompanied her all day long, never leaving an inch; The second wife was snatched and is a big beauty; the third wife, who indulges in the trivial things of life, allows him to live a stable life; The fourth wife worked so hard and was so busy that her husband forgot that she existed.

"Once, when a merchant was going to travel far away, he decided to choose one of his four wives to accompany him on a long journey. The merchant told his four wives what he thought, and the first one said, 'Go by yourself, I won't accompany you!'

"The second wife said, 'I was robbed by you, and I was not willing to be your wife, so why didn't I go?'

"The third wife said, 'Even though I am your wife, I don't want to suffer from eating and sleeping in the open, so I will send you to the outskirts of the city at most!'

"The fourth wife said, 'Since I am your wife, I will follow you wherever you go.'"

"So the merchant took his fourth wife and set out on a journey!"

Finally, Shakyamuni said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who is this merchant? It's you. ”

In this story, the first wife refers to the flesh, and after death she will be separated from herself; The second wife refers to property, which is not brought with her in life and not in death; The third wife refers to his wife, who depends on each other when he is alive, and he still has to part ways after death; The fourth wife refers to the nature of the person, who is often forgotten to exist, but who is always with him.

After listening to this story, Li Yuanhao seemed to have an understanding, and after pondering for a while, he asked Master Yuanjue: "Master, what is abandonment?" What is letting go? ”

"Life is created by oneself, the phase is born from the heart, everything in the world is incarnated, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, everything does not change. Forgetting does not mean that it never existed, and everything comes from choice, not deliberately. It's better to let go, the more you let go, the more you feel like you have more. The donor is in love," Master Yuanjue sighed softly after speaking.

"Life is created by oneself, phase is born from the heart, everything in the world is incarnated, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, everything does not change." Li Yuanhao closed his eyes and repeated, as if a door had opened in his heart. After half a ring, he opened his eyes, as if suddenly realized, and said to Master Yuanjue: "Master, I understand. The seed is the cause, the harvest is the effect, and everything is made by the mind. Everything is illusory, just stick to your heart and stick to your own nature. ”

Master Yuanjue smiled and said: "It seems that the donor has learned how to give up and let go, Bodhi has no tree, no mirror, nothing in the world, where is the dust!" ”

Li Yuanhao felt that he had been spinning in a labyrinth before, but at this moment he had finally found an exit. yes, how is Li Yuanhao? What about Lin Junxiong? It's good to insist on being your true self, the past life is gone, you can't go back, and your own path in this life has just begun. Why do you have to stick to the past and the present, Li Yuanhao is himself, Lin Junxiong is also himself, why should he be so persistent. My past life is over, and what I need to do now is to calm down and take every step in this life.

After a while, Li Yuanhao woke up from his trance, smiled apologetically at the master, and then asked, "Master, what if someone can know what is about to happen, and there is no way to change everything?" ”

"There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, and can't let go. In the dark, everything has a certain number, and it is futile to do it knowing that it cannot be done; Knowing what can be done but difficult to achieve is enough. Face it with a smile and don't complain. Leisurely, casual, casual, casual. What is destined to change a lifetime is only in a hundred years, when that flower blooms. ”

Yes, now that he is a young man, if he talks about Japanese aggression to others, who will believe the people who are in dire straits; Even if the Nationalist Government establishes a unified regime, in the face of a complex domestic situation, who will listen; As for the Communist Party, it has not been established long ago, and it is facing the situation within the party, and it has no time to take care of it. It's all just nonsense, nothing but futility. And Lin Shigong's last wish, he may be hopeless in his life, instead of carrying a heavy burden forward, why not face it with a smile and do his best to take every step, the result is uncertain, but walking this process can be regarded as an explanation for himself and his ancestors.

The Buddha asked: What is the most precious thing in the world? Disciple answers: It has been lost and not gained. The Buddha was silent. After several years, the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. When the Buddha asked again, he replied: The most precious thing in the world is to have it! If his soul does not appear, Lin Junxiong has already turned into nothingness, and when he comes here, whether it is the deliberate arrangement of the Heavenly Dao or the result of the wrong time, why should he fall into the illusion. The most precious thing in the world is to have, it is good to live, what we should do in this life is to cherish every day of possession, to continue the life of the lost soul, to create your own miracle.

Master Yuanjue saw that Li Yuanhao had realized the Zen machine, and said no more, turned around and left slowly, Li Yuanhao wanted to step forward to help, the master waved his hand, indicating that he could do it.

When the master walked away, Li Yuanhao's heart seemed to have been purified, and the master's words were Zen, so that Li Yuanhao could understand those doubts. After purifying your mind, the scenery in front of you seems to be a little more beautiful, the birds chirp and sound, and the world seems to be beautiful.

Those who forsake me shall not remain yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today. Li Yuanhao cut off yesterday, sorted out today, felt comfortable, and decided to say goodbye to his past and today's worries. Everything that belongs to Li Yuanhao has ended, and the road to this life belonging to Lin Junxiong has just begun. No matter what the result is, burying your head and sighing will only miss the scenery along the way, facing life with a smile, and living with a smile is the next way to go, and this colorful world will not only have suffering.
