Chapter 65
65, King Gore
The red plum blossom shadow is sufficient, and Qianqian's eyes follow Zhan Liantai's outstanding posture, becoming more and more puzzled.
It looks noble and exquisite, but it doesn't follow the convention, elegance and modesty are just the appearance, and there is a deep heart hidden under the beautiful skin...... In her eighteen years of memory, there was no such character.
She has a limited memory in her childhood, and after the Yu family made a career, although there were many people who came and went, it was natural that she didn't remember most of them, but if it was as significant as Zhan Liantai, she shouldn't not remember.
At this time, she racked her brains and thought, completely ignoring that Miao Fan on the other side was entangled by Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao is different from Xu Guang's kind of little overlord, the Zhou family has been a high-ranking official for generations, and it is even more prominent in Zhou Xiang's generation, with one person under ten thousand people and above ten thousand people, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. Therefore, Zhou Tao has studied under famous masters since childhood, and has studied history, strategy, calligraphy and painting, and riding and archery...... is not left behind, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is not a muddy person without ink in his chest. But at the same time, with his background, his son is favored at home and praised outside, so it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant and arrogant. Coupled with his unusual hobbies, he has become a very contradictory person, acting arbitrarily as he likes, when he likes others, he can please him in every possible way regardless of his body and face, and once he gets angry or disgusted, he has to lose his temper, which can be seen from Shen Huaiyi's incident.
When he admired Shen Huaiyi, he went to the pear orchard every day to cheer, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get close to the person he liked, but Shen Huaiyi provoked him, and he shouted and killed regardless of the old friendship, where was the obsession that was fascinated in the past? When Shen Huaiyi "died", he made a sad appearance again, sighing and lamenting, he was really a child's temper.
Now, Zhou Tao invited Miao Fan into the water pavilion and humbly "asked" Buddhism.
The pond has been frozen, like a layer of mirrors, and there are several plum trees on the bank, only a few have bloomed, and the scattered red dots are particularly eye-catching in a snow-white field. Miao Fan and Zhou Tao entered the water pavilion, and hung a heavy and gorgeous curtain to protect them from the wind and snow, and they also gave birth to a charcoal stove to keep warm from the cold, and even burned sandalwood.
Such a careful and considerate Zhou Tao makes people can't hate it at all.
The people and things that Miao Fan has been in contact with since he was a child are simple, and Qianqian is stalking and doing everything to achieve positive results with him, otherwise when his elm head is opened, the stones can bloom. He understands very little about people, and he has never heard of a man like Zhou Tao who likes men, he doesn't understand other people's explicit hints at all, and he can't see the affectionate eyes, so it was in vain that Zhou Tao secretly sent Qiubo all the way.
The four of them sat down in the water pavilion, and the hot tea was served just to warm the stomach.
Miao Fan thanked him politely, first helped Qianqian brush off the snow on his body, and asked in a low voice with concern: "Is it cold?" Do you want me to cover your hands for you? ”
Tenderness is like water, and Zhou Tao's eyes are red.
Qianqian shook her head: "It's not cold." Her thoughts have drifted far away now, drifting to more than ten years ago, and she is trying to remember everyone she remembers, but she still can't find Zhan Liantai's figure.
Did she misremember? Or did she not know him at all?
"Whew-" Miao Fan still wrapped her hand into the palm of her hand, rubbed it with a sigh, and smiled, "The fingers are like ice ridges, and they are not cold." ”
The gentleman smiled and fell into the city, and Zhou Tao's eyes were about to fall out.
Qianqian lowered her head and smiled, rarely showing a shy look.
"Tao'er, aren't you going to ask Tan Gongzi for teachings?" Zhan Liantai reminded Zhou Tao unhurriedly.
Only then did Zhou Tao retract his revealing eyes and casually said, "Oh yes...... Recently, I have been studying Buddhist scriptures, and there are many things I don't understand that I want to ask Tan Gongzi. ”
Miao Fan looked at him at this time, and said out of politeness: "Zhou Gongzi, please speak." ”
"Hmm...... The Buddha said to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, according to this principle, people who used to kill people like hemp and sin, as long as they have the heart to repent, they can become Buddhas? But isn't it unfair for an ordinary person to never kill anyone in his life, but only to do some bad things like stealing chickens and dogs, and then going to hell after death? ”
Miao Fan explained seriously: "Putting down the butcher knife means that this person has had an epiphany of Buddha's heart and has made a vow to become a Buddha from now on. But the karma is still there, the cycle of karma should be repaid, and in the future he will repay the sins he has sown, which may be a more painful punishment than going to hell, but as long as he is dedicated to the Buddha, this is good, and he will eventually attain the right result and attain the Buddhahood one day. ”
In fact, Zhou Tao just made nonsense to find an excuse to get close to Miao Fan, as for the Dharma teachings, he was completely intoxicated by Miao Fan's graceful voice, and he was confused: "Oh...... I see. ”
Miao Fan saw Qianqian's absent-minded appearance, and was about to ask Zhou Tao if he had any other questions, if not, he said goodbye and took the lady to enjoy the plum blossoms. At this time, Zhan Liantai chuckled lightly and asked, "What does Tan Gongzi think of the allusion of King Goli cutting off and humiliating the immortals with a bloody blade?" ”
"King Goli ......" Zhou Tao pondered for a while, and then remembered, and slapped his thigh and applauded, "Yes, yes!" The king who cut the humiliating immortals to death with a knife piece by piece, but finally became the first disciple of the Buddha after his enlightenment, where is the karma you are talking about? ”
Qianqian heard it in a fog and asked, "Who is King Gori?" Who is the Immortal of Forbearance? ”
Miao Fan explained: "In the past, before the immeasurable eons of the past, Shakyamuni Buddha practiced forbearance and humiliation in the mountains, and King Goli led his ministers and concubines to travel into the mountains. When the women met the humiliation of the immortals, they saw that he had long hair and a strange appearance, and asked him why he was in the mountains? The forbearance immortal replied, 'I practice forbearance and humiliation in the mountains. The concubine was curious and talked to her. At this time, King Golly came to see what was going on, and when he saw the concubine talking freely with the forbearance immortals, he was jealous, and he asked what the forbearance and humiliation immortals were doing in the mountains. The endurance and humiliation of the immortals replied that he practiced forbearance and humiliation in the mountains, and could endure all beatings and insults without resisting. ”
King Gori didn't believe it, so he swung his sword and cut off the ears of the immortals, but when he saw that his face was calm and unpalpable, he cut off the hands of the immortals, and the immortals could still bear it, and then cut off his legs, and endured the humiliation of the immortals without resentment. King Gori asked him, "How can you prove that you are not hateful?" The immortal said, "If I have hatred, I will not be able to become a Buddha in the future, and I will even fall into hell." If I have no resentment, then let my ears, nose and limbs be restored to their original state. As soon as the words fell, the humiliated immortal returned to his original state. ”
At this time, the king of Goli was shocked, thinking that the forbearance and humiliation of the immortal was a monster, so he beheaded him, but this move angered the protector of the Dharma and the good god, and caused a great cloud and lightning thunderbolt, and wanted to harm the king and his family. Shi Xianren said: If it is me, don't hurt it. From then on, King Goli repented and devoted himself to the Buddha, and finally became the first disciple of the Buddha after his enlightenment, that is, the Venerable Ara Chenru. ”
Zhan Liantai said with a smile: "King Goli mutilated the Buddha, but he was able to attain enlightenment and become the first arhat he sat down, Tan Gongzi, where is your so-called cycle of cause and effect?" ”
Miao Fan was very calm: "The virtuous and foolish scriptures have clouds, endure the humiliation of the immortals and say to the king of Goli: You are a woman, the knife cuts off my shape, I endure like the ground, I will become a Buddha later, first use the wisdom knife to cut off your three poisons." If the Buddha is enlightened, first use the Dharma water to wash away your dirt and dirt, remove your desires and filth, and make it pure forever. ”
"In the future, there will only be Venerable Arao Chen Ru in the world, and King Goli no longer exists, isn't that enough?"
The most powerful revenge is not the destruction of the body, but the complete upheaval of a person's spirit and heart, and who says that King Gori has not received retribution?
The profound Buddhism was dizzy when she heard it, and she interrupted the two impatiently: "Don't discuss what you don't want to become a Buddha or not, in my opinion, it's all hypocrisy!" ”
Everyone looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"What kind of Buddha, what kind of Buddha, these guys pretend to be unfathomable all day, but they are actually a group of bullies who are afraid of evil." She shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "If you can beat it, you will do the right thing for heaven, and if you can't beat it, you will persuade others to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." In the final analysis, it is still the persimmon that picks up the soft pinch, and if you don't want to mess with it, you only dare to play tricks! ”
Several people were stunned, and Miao Fan frowned: "It's not like this......"
"Why isn't that the case?" Qianqian said, "Why does King Goli dare to kill and humiliate immortals? Because the other party is a person, and there is no weapon in his hand, King Gori has both a sword and an entourage, so of course he is not afraid of being overwhelmed. But as soon as the protector god came out, King Goli immediately died, because no matter how much he fought, he couldn't fight the gods, so he could only kneel and beg for mercy. And endure the humiliation of the immortals, why have you been patient? He can't bear it, but he has to endure it! You think that he is cultivating alone in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no helper around him, who is stupid enough to take an egg to touch a stone, he originally wanted to calm things down, admit it, but the king of Goli bullied people, causing him to suffer so much in vain, it is not cost-effective, it is not cost-effective......"
After listening to thousands of fallacies, Zhou Tao scratched his head: "It seems to be like this." ”
"Ha Lu ha-" Zhan Liantai laughed and clapped his hands, "Interesting!" An unheard-of opinion that sounds ridiculous, but when you think about it, it makes sense everywhere. ”
Miao Fan was a little embarrassed, so he could only emphasize again and again: "No, the Buddha is not like this......"
"Knowing the Tao and knowing the Tao, the Buddha is the most noble, of course he won't be so cowardly, I'm just joking." Qianqian bent her eyes, raised her hand and stroked the jade hairpin on her head, "It's convenient for me to go, you wait for me here." ”
She glanced at Zhan Liantai as she left, but he didn't seem to look at her.
She was a little disappointed, and it seemed that she couldn't figure out his origin today.
Walking away from the nail in the eye, Zhou Tao was very happy to see this situation, so he did everything possible to get close to Miao Fantao. Miao Fan replied without being salty or indifferent, trying not to be rude, but there was no intention of deep friendship.
Because of the things in court, he didn't like Zhou Tao.
There is no need for him to be very kind to thousands of people who are not good.
I don't know when Ruan Qi entered the water pavilion, leaned over and whispered in Zhan Liantai's ear, Zhan Liantai stood up and said to the other two: "You sit first, I'll come when I go." ”
Qianqian stood under the plum blossom tree, looking down at the two jade hairpins in her palms, with a melancholy expression.
Red blood stains...... When Sister Ah died, was she wearing this hairpin?
The Yu family was once prosperous because of the imperial history, and was also convicted because of the imperial history, her parents were sentenced to beheading, and the rest of the collateral relatives were demoted to official slaves or exiled. Because she was young and the sister of a famous poppy beauty, she guessed that she would be a little good when she grew up, so she entered the teaching department and became an official prostitute.
When she reaches the age where she can receive customers, there will definitely be many romantic talents vying to patronize and make up for the regret of not tasting the taste of poppies.
Most of the wives and daughters of the guilty ministers of this dynasty ended up like this, and Qianqian guessed that the eldest sister did not want to be insulted like this, so she chose to commit suicide. So when the news came, she wasn't too sad, she just hated her powerlessness, if she was strong, so strong that she could do anything, she would definitely be able to deceive the guards and escape with her sister.
It's a pity that by the time she has the ability to deceive the world, Sister Ah has already buried her bones.
Unconsciously thought of it, and didn't even notice that someone was slowly approaching behind him.
It wasn't until she fell into the unfamiliar embrace that she panicked and struggled to get out.
"Shhh ”
Qianqian was annoyed: "What are you doing! I'll call people like this again! ”
"Don't speak, just for a moment, really ......" his voice seemed to be pleading.
Qianqian froze and felt uncomfortable. But she still endured it and told her conditions: "Then you have to tell me the origin of the hairpin." ”
"Hmm." Zhan Liantai agreed, quietly hugged her, and was deeply attached to this hard-won moment.
It's like a reunion, and it's like a goodbye.
Finally waiting for him to let go, Qianqian quickly shook off his arm and pushed him away angrily.
Zhan Liantai clenched his fists, as if he wanted to try to retain the residual warmth of the body fragrance that was gradually eroding, but he didn't catch anything in the end.
"Who the hell are you? How do you have my sister's stuff! She couldn't wait to ask, but deliberately lowered her voice to avoid being heard.
"You really don't remember me?" Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, "That's right, you probably ...... fourteen years ago Four-year-old? ”
Qianqian was stunned: "Have you really seen me?" Where is it? ”
"Actually, I see you often, but you don't know the way." Zhan Liantai lowered his eyebrows, took out a folding fan from his sleeve and stroked it gently, "She never let me appear in front of you, I always hide in the shadows, like an ant that steals life, and I can't see the light." ”
The more he talked, the more confused she became: "Where are you hiding?" ”
Zhan Liantai shook his head and didn't answer, his depressed expression made Qianqian almost sympathize with him, but in an instant, he became hateful again, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "You should still be a prostitute now, right?" The official prostitute of the dignified education department actually got married, and this case was sued to the government, guess how to deal with it? ”
