228 In the Shadow Plum Temple
Chi Linglong was in a trance, as if she had a long, centuries-long dream.
In her dream, she returned to the small courtyard, which bloomed with flowers of various colors all year round.
The courtyard is called "Hanxiao Courtyard", and it is a courtyard that no one will set foot in except for her biological father Chi Zhongyuan and two deaf and dumb mothers-in-law.
My aunt always likes to sit under the flower branches in the corner of the porch, recline on the beauty chair, and leisurely flip through all kinds of books.
The woman who looks as beautiful as a flower, but has an elegant and pure temperament, as pure and innocent as a snow lotus, she has the warmest and brightest smile in the world, and her every move is elegant and calm, just like a lady who came out of a faint yellow ancient painting.
She always smiled shallowly, her eyebrows and eyes were as warm as water, and the smile went deep into her eyes; But when she turned around, the brilliant smile that seemed to illuminate her whole life became dull and desolate.
Her back was thinning day by day, and the smile on her face was finally dyed with sorrow.
However, she still likes to hold her every day, and in the embellishment of the rising sun and the roses of the four seasons, she calls her softly-
"Ahh
It's "Ah Yu", not what she always thought, "Ah Yu".
The one in the dream, a woman as young as a lily blooming, smiling like a flower.
She whispered, over and over again, when she fell asleep, caressing the hair on her forehead, and whispering to herself over and over again, "Everyone gives birth to a daughter and wants to be smart, but I was mistaken for a lifetime by being smart." I hope that Jiao'er will be foolish and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no difficulty until the end. ’”
Her nickname is "Ah Yu......
Before she was five years old, she lived as her aunt prayed, carefree.
Although she looks forward to it every day, she can step out of the Hanxiao Courtyard and see the outside world, after all, she is also content.
There was no shortage of food and clothing, no one was oppressed and practiced, she lived happily with her mother in Hanxiao Courtyard until she was five years old.
Her father, the man who seemed to her to be mighty and reliable, as heroic and handsome as a mountain, had only appeared a few times a month, and every time she saw her, she rejoiced as if she had eaten honey.
Yet, such days, on that day of heavy rain, were all overturned.
She listened to her aunt screaming in the delivery room, her hoarse and painful voice, like a broken bellows, unable to make a sound after a day and a night of torture.
She escaped the care of the guardian grandmother, secretly ran under the window of the delivery room, and pierced the layer of window paper.
She saw the woman who had been gentle as water, like a rag doll, lying motionless on the bed.
She was still breathing, her chest and abdomen still rising and falling.
However, her eyes were wide open when she looked straight into the air, as if she was a terrible ghost who could not be blinded.
A group of grandmothers and girls around her were busy around her, and she was frightened.
After coming back to his senses, it was the first time that he ran out of Hanxiao Courtyard without the leadership of his grandmother.
The wind of the night was bleak and bone-chilling, accompanied by a downpour, like hail, crackling and crackling straight at her.
She cried in pain, but she couldn't scream.
She wanted to run to Qingyuntang to find her father, but she didn't know the way.
As she ran, she heard the sonorous sound of horses' hooves "stomping" in the distance, and she was delighted, but suddenly there was a strong force behind her, violently pushing her into the lake beside her.
The rain was pouring down, and the lake flooded her mouth and nose in an instant, and she thought that this was the end of her life, but unexpectedly, she was still alive.
However, the mother who had been with her for five years closed her eyes forever on that rainy night, accompanied by the "boom" of thunder and lightning.
The next thing, like a dream chasing a dream, she went to Qingyang Bofu for a banquet and was insulted and had an affair with someone.
An Guoguo wanted to retire from her family, but she was "seriously ill" and went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to recuperate.
Although there were many twists and turns, Zhou and Mu Xie finally reached an agreement.
Unexpectedly, she, the original wife, became Chi Mingzhen's concubine.
She lived in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city for two years, during which time Jiang's mother fell into a well and died the day before they were about to be taken back to the Hou Mansion.
The funny thing is that Mu Changyao also died halfway through the marriage.
She thought she was finally freed, but unexpectedly, that group of ugly and vicious relatives actually married her, the titular "Yuan Wife", to the Anguo Mansion according to the previous agreement.
She and Mu Changyao got married.
In the days that followed, the scars on her body were refreshed every day.
The county lord of Shaohua harbored evil intentions, Mu Xie was angry with her, she was tortured in the Anguo Mansion for two years, and she was tortured to take off her human form.
In the end, he was sent to Yingmei Nunnery for cultivation.
The resentment and hatred in her heart did not disappear with the daily penance, but the hatred was like a seed soaked in water and fell to the ground, slowly growing from a tender shoot to a towering tree.
She hated to slash those gangs, and she had to come to Yingmei Nunnery every three or five days, nominally to visit her, but in fact, it was only to vent anger on her, just to trample her in the dust, so that she could never turn over again.
However, she has been looking forward to it for decades, and in the end, she is looking forward to the news that they will all commit suicide to protect their innocence before the rebel army invades the capital.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, and the fire in the capital burned for three days.
However, even if those people died cleanly, and there was only a blank space left in the vast land, she still hated it!
I hate it, even if she is dead, she can't close her eyes!
Chi Linglong could feel that there was some consciousness in her mind, waking up little by little.
She seemed to be still unconscious in her haze, however, at this moment, she could not have felt more clearly that in this body, the "Chi Linglong" who only had a remnant soul left, also woke up at this moment.
A clear stream was poured into her throat, and Chi Linglong felt that her dry and painful throat was much more comfortable.
She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to open her eyes.
And she did open her eyes.
However, she was still asleep,...... Now the one who controls this body is the real "Chi Linglong".
Chi Linglong, who was still struggling in the dream realm, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of decoction with a slight herb flavor.
While trying to swallow, she thought in a daze: She vomited blood in the palace, Qin Chenghei...... Is he okay now?
If...... She will never wake up again, or ...... From now on, this body will really belong to "Chi Linglong", I wonder if Qin Chengsi will be very sad when he discovers this qiē?
I don't know if the boy will think of her from time to time if she really disappears.
How much she liked him.
I like it, now as long as I think that I may leave him forever, my heart is like a knife cutting.
What a cold man that young man is.
However, it took so much effort for her to make him take her in his heart little by little and open his heart to her little by little.
Now, do you have to go back to the beginning?
She...... I'm so unwilling.
It's distressing, it seems that it's hard to breathe.
It was as if her soul was bound by a cloud of white mist, and no matter how much she hit the white mist around her, she still couldn't break through the film.
Under Chi Linglong's decadence and pain, he actually felt that his body had been driven by "Chi Linglong".
She reached out and grabbed the old nun who was sitting on the futon in front of her, not knowing whether to tear her gray garment or tear off the rosary hanging from her chest.
This is a wing room in a temple.
And the old nun in front of him is already very old.
She was wearing a plain gray tie robe, which was shabby and seemed to rot if she was torn off.
And although this nun's face is thin and withered, her complexion is peaceful and kind, and her whole body is also full of compassion, which has a sense of precipitating people's hearts and driving away evil thoughts.
She sat solemnly on the futon, knocking on the wooden fish while silently reciting the scriptures.
Looking at her face again, I saw that the hair on the old nun's eyebrows and eyes had long been sparse and unsearchable, and if I didn't look closely, I would really not be able to find a single one.
She is indeed very old, one hundred and five years old, and in this time and space, she is really unique.
The outstretched hand kept reaching forward, but it seemed that no matter what, it couldn't touch the old nun who was sitting quietly on the futon.
Chi Linglong stopped to break through the white mist, and only quietly watched "Chi Linglong" drive her body, as if she was enchanted, to catch the old nun.
However, no matter how much she stretched out her hand, it was as if she was in the same predicament as she had in her mind.
In front of them, there seemed to be a hard object that they couldn't see, which couldn't be seen or touched, but it would stop their movements, so that they could no longer be "presumptuous".
"Chi Linglong" whimpered, she didn't speak for a long time, she didn't even seem to have the most basic pronunciation function.
Her face was distorted and hideous, and at this moment, she was like the devil who had stayed lonely at the bottom of the sea for countless years, and was only released from the bottle by the fisherman after a thousand years.
The first thing she did when she came out was to kill someone.
The old nun looked at her so hard, and the expression on her face changed.
However, she slowly opened her eyes.
The old nun's eyes, at first glance, were like all old people, their eyes cloudy; It's just that if you stare at her carefully, your soul seems to be instantly attracted into her eyes.
Her eyes are so bright that she seems to be able to see not only people's hearts, but also a person's past and present lives, all her creations and karma.
Chi Linglong's soul shrunk in her mind, and suddenly trembled violently a few times, she had a ...... The fear of being discovered.
However, before she could stop trembling, the old nun nodded at her lightly as if nothing had happened.
Her eyes were full of compassion, but they were smiling. The Buddha's will trembled, the ancient rhyme was profound, and Chi Linglong felt weirdly that this old nun actually saw her and had kindness to her.
"Poor Nifa is fateful."
In the silence of the room, the old nun turned the rosary in his hand and folded his hands at the same time, and said such a mindless sentence.
However, although it was a nonsensical sentence, it made the two Chi Linglong couldn't help but be shocked.
Knowing the reputation of Mrs. Yuan, Chi Linglong knows it.
This is also due to the reason why she watched the memory of "Chi Linglong".
It seems that in the previous life, the master of the fate was at the age of ninety-five, and entered the back mountain of the Shadow Plum Nunnery to enter the Buddha cultivation.
Then, after five years of meditation and enlightenment, when she was just 100 years old, she just sat down in Nirvana.
To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Yuan left a relic after she sat down.
Chi Linglong still remembers that in the previous life, this was regarded as a holy object and directly presented to the queen mother of the dynasty.
Later, because of this incident, everyone in Great Wei believed that this was a sign of the Lord of Heavenly Wisdom.
Emperor Hongyuan also took advantage of the situation, and with the aftermath of this incident, he naturally went to Yaoshan and held a ceremony to seal Zen.
It is precisely because of this that although he was mediocre in his later years and did not make any achievements in politics, he also got the title of "Lord of Zhongxing" in the end, which is a bit unworthy of the name.
These are some inconsequential things, what is really at stake, and what shocked the two Chi Linglong is because ,—— is the twenty-second year of Emperor Hongyuan, and Mrs. Yuan has not passed away?
In the last life, she was already an ancient five years ago, long before "Chi Linglong" was sent to Yingmei Nunnery!
How so?
Chi Linglong was shocked and panicked and overwhelmed, but "Chi Linglong" was stunned and didn't know how to react.
The person who should have died a long time ago is still sitting in front of them now, whether it is for that Chi Linglong, this thing is unbelievable, making it difficult for them to accept.
It's just that without waiting for Chi Linglong to finish his entanglement, he saw the kind eyebrows and kind eyes and full of Zen Shitai again, and he actually glanced at her again, and then the ancient voice was full of peace and compassion: "The poor nun is ninety-five years old, and he came to the mountain to participate in Zen and enlightenment." I felt some opportunities to communicate with me. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and the poor nuns are actually in a fixed period for ten years, and they are not allowed to sit down. ”
After turning it a few times, the Buddha beads in his hand seemed to be quite old, and then he said slowly: "Fate is all determined by heaven, and poor nuns will not force it." However, a few days ago, when the time came, the Buddha enlightened him and said, 'The poor nuns have not been able to sit down for a long time, but it is because their long-cherished wishes have not been fulfilled in this world. ’”
Chi Linglong's heart was shocked.
She felt that the whole world was mystical at this moment.
Buddha enlightened?
The Buddha's enlightenment, about the unfulfilled wish of the fate of the master, is in the ...... "Chi Linglong"?
Chi Linglong immediately felt that her head was a little staggered.
In her past and present lives, she has nothing to do with the word "Buddha", although since she entered Beijing in September, she has been practicing Buddhism in Yingmei Nunnery.
But that's a fake.
Outsiders don't know, but it is conceivable that they will never be able to deceive the Buddha's eyes.
She had no relationship with the "Buddha", and it was the first time she met Mrs. Yuan.
However, "Chi Linglong" is different.
In her previous life, she lived in Yingmei Nunnery for more than 20 years, boiling her head full of green silk into white hair, and finally jumped directly from the wing house located on the cliff, cutting off her life.
If she says that she doesn't hate, hate, resent, or hate, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
She was resentful, and jealousy gushed like venom that corrupted her heart.
How could she not be resentful?
Her good years, the rest of her life, were all buried in this cage; Even if she died in the end, she couldn't escape the barrier of Kagemei'an.
Chi Linglong had some realization.
In the last life, when the fate of the teacher passed away, "Chi Linglong" was still in Yizhou and had not yet married.
She has not set foot in Yingmei Nunnery, and the master of profound merit and boundless Buddhism will naturally not be unable to achieve nirvana because of her.
And in this life, because "Chi Linglong" was reborn when she was five years old, fate is still running according to the same trajectory.
On the night of the heavy rain, Ning died tragically, with one body and two lives.
As soon as "Chi Linglong" was reborn, she returned to the turning point of her life, and she couldn't go against the sky at all.
This time, she didn't have to be pushed into the lake by others, but she jumped into the lake by herself.
In this way, Chi Linglong later entered her body by mistake.
But the world is really impermanent, and the "Chi Linglong" who is bent on death is not dead.
Her remnant soul has also remained in her body.
And perhaps at the beginning of her rebirth, what happened that night evoked the deepest and most painful pain hidden in her heart for two lifetimes, and the anger and monstrous hatred in her chest have always supported her remnant soul, and have not dissipated in heaven and earth.
There is indeed a karma created by the Shadow Plum Nunnery here, and in this way, the Yuan Shitai has been unable to sit down because of his "long-cherished wish", but it is explained in a way.
A tingling pain came from Chi Linglong's brain, and her soul seemed to be a little weaker at this moment.
She wanted to push away the white mist that bound her, but she didn't have the strength at all.
After Mrs. Yuan said those words, the "Chi Linglong" who reacted was even more excited.
Her face was full of tears, and the resentment and hatred in her eyes were like a flame.
The fate master looked at the eyes of "Chi Linglong" too directly, but his tone was calm, like a Sanskrit voice: "Idiot, the law of the past should not be remembered, the law of the future should not be desired, and the law of the present should not live." If so, you will be liberated. ”
This is to persuade "Chi Linglong" not to remember the past; No matter what you have experienced before, whether you are crying or sweet, there are three ways of heaven, earth and man, and only by seeing through yourself can you save yourself.
The six realms of reincarnation, such as dreams and acting, suffer from hell, or be born in the heavens, and enjoy falling into animal life as much as possible, and then being born in the world, poor and miserable; There are many unsatisfactory things in the world, but only by letting go can we be liberated and always be at ease.
"Chi Linglong" struggled to scratch the action, and slowly stopped, until there was no more movement.
Only the tears in his eyes are still like a babbling stream, constantly gushing out......
The expression on her face was demented, as if she was stupid, as if the whole person's soul was out of her body.
While knocking on the wooden fish, Mrs. Yuan also turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and said unhurriedly: "A thought of foolishness is like a god, and a thought of wisdom is like a life." When I let go of my thoughts, I feel at ease......"
In the midst of the Buddha's incense, "Chi Linglong" covered her face and cried bitterly, she seemed to still want to struggle, and she wanted to struggle to resist something.
But she hesitated for a long time before she spit out an obscure "no".
However, at this moment, Mrs. Yuan stopped knocking on the wooden fish, she stretched out her right hand and gently tapped her index finger on the center of Chi Linglong's eyebrows, as if she was doing some magical sacrifice.
I only listened to the compassionate chanting of Mrs. Yuan: "From where you come from, go where you go." Reincarnation is the path of the Buddha. Idiot, life begins and turns, and in the blink of an eye, it is another reincarnation......"
"No ......"
Her body twisted to the point of pain, and Chi Linglong was in a coma, only feeling as if she was about to be crushed by endless pressure.
Her mind was still a little sober, so she also knew that at this moment, the "Chi Linglong" who had been in the same body with her for seven years day and night, her soul was being withdrawn from her body little by little.
She screamed "no" miserably, but her choked throat couldn't make a sound.
However, at this moment, the sound of Buddha is lingering, and only a wisp of Buddha incense is left in this clumsy wing room.
Then, there was the sound of the wooden fish under Mrs. Yuan's hand once again ringing rhythmically, and the chanting voice full of vicissitudes and compassion of Mrs. Yuan-
"May when I attain Bodhi in the next life, my body be like glass, clear inside and out, pure and unblemished......"
"May when I attain Bodhi in the next life, with immeasurable wisdom and convenience, I will enable all sentient beings to receive endless things, and not cause sentient beings to lack ......."
"May when I attain Bodhi in the next life, if all sentient beings do evil paths, they will be ordered to settle down in the middle of the Bodhi Path......" R1152
