Concubine Shu walked up to the stone and squatted down: "Stone, don't blame yourself, everything is not your fault." How do you know what happens? There is always someone who should be responsible for this matter, but it is definitely not you. ”

It took a lot of effort for the eyes of the stone to find Concubine Shu: "Who is the head and who is the lord?" It's Zhu Yuanzhang, right? ”

"Shh Concubine Shu hurriedly stood up, walked outside the door and looked around, "Pay attention to what you say in the future, otherwise your life will be in danger!" ”

"I'm not afraid! He forced a mother and son to death with Qin Tianjian's words, what kind of enlightened king is he? He is not even as good as livestock, tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, and animals will not kill their children! ”

"It's not just Qin Tianjian's words.?? The concubine is really miserable, and a few days before she gave birth to you, it happened that there was a big incident in the imperial court. Concubine Shu lifted the stone up.

"Humph! What's the big deal? The stone smiled helplessly. The worst ending and the most ridiculous reasons are already in front of him, what else can be considered a big deal for him?

"This has something to do with the kingdom of Goryeo. At that time, the Jurchens intended to rob the land of Goryeo, and Goryeo sent envoys to our country to ask for help. But the envoy actually scolded the emperor in the tavern, and the ministers of the court heard it and reported it to the emperor. The emperor wanted to find him to punish him, but he disappeared like air. After that, the emperor was cold?? Concubine, because?? The concubine is a Korean! ”

"What??? Is the concubine Korean? The stone was taken aback and grabbed Concubine Shu's arm, "Then I'm ...... too"

"Yes, you're half Goryeo. Luckily?? The concubine gave birth to you at that time, and you are a double pupil, how can the emperor tolerate you? ”

"No wonder, no wonder my mother said that the palace can't tolerate me......"

"Stone, the emperor's country is bigger than anything else, bigger than family affection, bigger than human life, you have to be considerate of the emperor." A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth.

She deeply knows that when a person is desperate, when he feels abandoned, consideration is an accelerant for revenge.

"Stone, don't let others know what I said to you, and don't reveal your identity, otherwise the Li family will face the danger of being beheaded all over the house."

Concubine Shu is meticulous, and she will think about everything that the stone can't think of.

Stone nodded. Concubine Shu took a sip of coarse tea, although it was rough, it was refreshing.

Shi got the answer he wanted from Yaoyue Palace, but his deepest question remained unresolved, and that was human nature.

He could never figure out how a father could do something to his wife and children.

Burdened with hatred for Zhu Yuanzhang and right?? With the sympathy of the concubine, he returned to the Li Mansion.

Walking through the courtyard and the promenade, the colorful flowers frequently greeted him, hoping that he would stop and admire for a moment.

However, his eyes were clouded with gray, and the ability to find beauty all the time had been lost.

Back in the house, the stone slowly walked to the bronze mirror.

He bowed his head and pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to wipe the dust off the bronze mirror with his sleeve.

In the mirror, a dull face looked at him helplessly, and those eyes were sad and complaining, like the homeless homeless people he had seen on the streets.

They have no home, no relatives, and they don't know who they are living for and why.

Suddenly, a smile flashed in those eyes, because they were just ordinary eyes.

Although godless and decadent, although they cannot find a belonging, they are ordinary and unremarkable.

Luck and joy welled up in Stone's heart.

His eyes were wide open and pressed against the mirror, and his clear and translucent pupils were clearly reflected in the mirror.

There is only one pupil in each eye.

He is not the poor child with heavy pupils, and his father is not Zhu Yuanzhang!

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, took a step back, and opened his eyes, and there were still only two pupils in the mirror.

He took a step forward, but the double pupil did not appear.

"Did you make a mistake? I'm not a prince at all! I'm not a prince! He screamed hysterically with excitement.

The face in the mirror was distorted and distorted, and he congratulated him excitedly.

Those eyes shone brightly, as passionate as a red flame.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, and his pupils gradually dilated in all directions.

Another bigger pupil appeared, and the big pupil wrapped the small pupil and looked at him curiously.

Stone pressed his face against the mirror in panic. The smile in the mirror froze, but there were still two pupils in each eye.

"What's going on? Where did the other Hitomi come from? He slapped the bronze mirror heavily.

The bronze mirror swayed back and forth, making a creaking sound.

"Are you kidding me? What do I really look like? The heavy pupils in the mirror glared at him viciously, blaming him for not liking their presence.

"Fuck off!" Stone took off his clothes and put them on the bronze mirror, and slumped limply beside the corner of the dresser.

Mrs. Li didn't know that Shi had already learned more about his origins. She hopes that as time passes, the stone can fade away these pains, or at least bury them somewhere in her heart and never be revealed.

The stone hovers between oblivion and revenge. He tends to forget.

If nothing happened to him, forgetting his life experience, and he was still the son of the Li family, then everything would return to the way it was.

But he often asked himself, will it really go back to the way it was?

The sunshine of Xuanyuan Temple is much brighter than that of the Imperial Palace, perhaps because there is no ruthlessness and extinction of humanity here, only devotion to the Buddha and compassion.

Whether there is a happy event or a sad event, Xuanyuan Temple is the place where stones come most often.

Baotong will tell him that he is happy and sad, and he will also tell him that Seong lost his horse, and he will not know whether it is a blessing or not.

The little monk in the temple greeted him with a smile as usual, and Shi Qiang cheered up and looked at them with a lost look.

He slowly slipped into the lecture hall. Venerable Bao Tong is giving a lecture to his disciples and pilgrims who love the Dharma.

He had never listened carefully to Baotong's lengthy explanation of the Dharma, but today he stepped into the lecture hall and sat down in the back row.

He hoped to find a path of light in the Dharma scriptures.

After suffering for an hour, most of the time Shi heard not the Dharma, but the various voices in his heart.

There were arguments, there were scoldings, there were threats, there were crying, they made him distraught and exhausted.

The listeners left one after another, and the stone sat with his head bowed and motionless.

Baotong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Stone, listen to the old man's lecture and listen to the fossil?" ”

Before the stone could speak, his eyes became wet.

"What's wrong? What's going on? The stone did not answer.

"You're sitting here trying to get enlightenment from the Dharma, right?" Baotong's smiling eyes can see through everything.

"Can the Dharma liberate me?"

"That depends on how much you can comprehend. The power of the Dharma is boundless. ”

"In Buddhism, I want to learn about the three lifetimes of cause and effect, the six realms of reincarnation, the eight sufferings of life, and the methods of teaching sentient beings to be free from suffering and be happy."

"Well, everything is the same. Once you have cultivated your mind, you will naturally know everything and will not worry about anything. ”

"The so-called six realms of reincarnation, according to the Buddhist point of view, whether a person does good or evil during life determines a person's death. Those who do evil must be reborn in the three evil realms, is this the same through the ages, and no one is exempted? ”

"Hehehe," Baotong smiled kindly, "It will not change through the ages, without exception." ”

"Although a person who does evil is reborn in the three evil realms, the evil he did in his previous life cannot be changed, and the damage caused by his evil deeds cannot be remedied!" Stone was filled with righteous indignation and unconsciously shouted.

The wicked person he was referring to was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang dies in the Three Evil Paths, can his current pain be alleviated a little??? Will the concubine ever come back to life?

"That's right! Therefore, we see that the ugliness of the world should be dissolved, and it is also a kind of good deed to stop the evildoers from doing evil. Bao Tong said to the stone.

"How to resolve it? How to stop it? "There was a light in the eyes of the stone, as if the ship of the trek had seen the lighthouse.

"Huh!" Baotong smiled, "Stones, treat them with a normal heart." ”

"Mage!" Stone looked at Baotong helplessly, hoping that he would reach out and pull him.

"Come, go outside."

Shi drooped his head and listlessly followed Baotong out of the lecture hall.

Baotong brought the stone to the vegetable garden in the back mountain.

"Do you see that green vegetable patch?"

"Hmm." The stone didn't even raise his head, his mind was full of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was doing evil, where did he have the heart to look at the vegetable patch.

"Do you know how those vegetables grow from seeds to vegetables with thick stems and fat leaves?"

"Isn't it just fertilizing and watering?"

"Huh! Look at what those disciples are doing bending over? ”

The stone glanced into the distance. In each row of vegetable fields, there are two or three little monks carrying a basket and constantly putting things into it.

"What are they doing?"

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Bao Tong and Shi walked to the vegetable patch. It turned out that the monks were constantly pulling weeds.

"Mage, how can there be so many weeds? How often to exceed? ”

"You have to get rid of it once every three to five days."

"Three or five days! I thought your disciples were idle. ”

"Of course, this fertile land not only grows vegetables, but weeds also absorb nutrients and often grow more vigorously than vegetables."

"Let's grow together. When harvesting, just picking vegetables is fine. ”

Although the stones are fond of flowers and plants, they are all carefully cared for when they appear in front of him.

Even the flowers and plants in Honesty Valley are carefully taken care of by Uncle Hai. The stone never paid attention to the nameless grass next to the brilliant flowers.

"That's not going to work, stones, weeds compete with vegetables for nutrients and water in the soil, and they can cause pests that must be removed."

"Oh. It's not easy for this vegetable to grow. I can't afford to waste it in the future. ”

"Well, come, let's do the activities and help the disciples weed together."

"Okay." Stone reluctantly agreed, not because he didn't like to work, but because he was exhausted, his limbs were weak, and he didn't have the mind.

Stone squatted down with difficulty, and Bao Tong took a basket from the side and placed it beside him.

"Stone, labor is good for you, trust me. If you're tired, go back. I'm going to the temple to deal with some affairs, so I'm not going to accompany you. ”

Baotong turned to leave, smiling knowingly.
