I just came out of the Sanqing Hall after kneeling, and the first thing I saw was Shen Qingzhi who was secretly hiding outside and kneeling with me.

Actually, I don't hate her, I just think she's too troublesome.

I like to be alone, to quietly cultivate the Tao, to enlighten the Tao, all things in the world, withering and rebirth, life counting the heavenly wheels, yin and yang, when I sit alone on the edge of the cliff, I can feel the stars, the sun and the moon are rotating in my heart.

But since she came, I couldn't even settle my mind.

"When exactly will you be able to leave?" I was irritable and impatient.

She looked up at me, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Qingping," she pronounced my name, "why is your Dao number the same as your name?" ”

I don't think she asked this question with any wisdom or spirituality, but for the sake of her intercession, I was kind enough to help her up, and then patiently explained to her.

"Delusions do not move, life and death are unpredictable, the number of days is predestined, all are cause and effect, the name is not a vulgar thing, the name of the Tao is not pure and noble, I cultivate the Tao, not to bind myself, enjoy what I enjoy, see what I see, after all kinds of obsessions, I see the avenue."

"So, you're cultivating just so that you can be freer? Isn't this an escape? She looked puzzled, but her star-like eyes were full of forbearant jokes.

Being stabbed by her so nakedly, the irritability in my heart immediately turned to anger, I glared at her, and said angrily, "It's really a summer worm, there are too many people with mediocre qualifications like you in the world, so they will be greedy, their mood will collapse, and the mountain people are at ease, how can you understand?" ”

After saying that, I threw up my sleeves and left, but I didn't expect her to grab my arm and wrap it around me directly.

"Qingping, don't be angry, I'm just a layman, isn't it normal for a layman to think about mundane things? I heard that there is a sea of nine kite flowers in the Yongan Taoist Temple, can you take me to see it? ”

I glanced at her, although I was inexplicable and lost my temper, but on face I would never compromise.

"The Nine Kites are in the col behind, you have to see, you go and see for yourself, I have to go back to the room to repair, you better not bother me."

I broke her hand and was about to leave, but she turned around and blocked me in front of me, flattering me with a smile on her face, "Where are there flowers in the col behind?" It's just some green poles, Qingping, don't be so stingy, I'm just curious to see it, and I will never get them. ”

I really don't believe this, since she went to live in the Taoist temple temporarily, my scriptures, my Taoist robe, and even a few picture albums that I secretly hid were turned out by her, and they were torn and dirty, to the point that I couldn't bear to look at them directly.

But I'm not a grudge holder, after all, I'm concentrating on cultivation now, and I won't do this kind of thing that disturbs my heart.

This nine iris is indeed in the col, I didn't lie to her.

"The nine iris flowers in the Taoist temple have never bloomed, if you don't believe it, you can go to the history of Guanguan, and the nine iris flowers can be recorded on it?"

I swore by it, but she bowed her head in extreme disappointment.

Quietly, without saying a word.

Seeing that she was suddenly so abnormal, I couldn't help but wonder if I had said something wrong.

"Actually...... There are a lot of flowers in Yong'an Taoist Temple, otherwise you should go and see something else? I also won the fairy grass, do you want to see it? I stiffened the expression on my face and looked away from her.

She seemed to suddenly become very depressed, and even though I deliberately ignored it, I could still see her shoulders flutter.

She was crying, without warning.

I suddenly realized that in the last few days, her smile has been very reluctant, as if something is hidden in her heart, painful and tormented.

"Qingzhi ......" I hesitated for a moment, and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"I'm leaving," she said suddenly, "tomorrow." ”

I was stunned.

It took me a while for me to come to my senses.

"So ......" I want to say fast, but in fact, I should say slow, fast and slow in my mouth, but there is nothing to say for a while.

"You've always found me annoying, but in the future, you can get your wish and meditate on the Tao." With red eyes, she looked up and smiled at me, turned and ran.

I watched her leave in amazement until she faded into the night.

Yes, as long as she leaves here, I can return to the quiet life I used to have, drinking tea alone, reading scriptures alone, and quietly enlightening alone......

"Green Branches......

Suddenly, I wanted to say something, but in the end, I still took a deep breath and turned around and left the front of the Sanqing Palace.

"Huh? How did you come back so quickly? Didn't Qingzhi say that you were going to help her celebrate her birthday today? "When Senior Brother Qinghe saw me coming back, he couldn't help but put down the scriptures curiously.

"Birthday?" I was stunned.

"Yes, today is her birthday, and we senior brothers wanted to give her a little celebration, but she said that you have prepared it for her, let's not upset the masters about this." When Senior Brother Qinghe saw my stunned appearance, he also had some self-doubt.

Could it be that he misheard it in the first place?

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I turned around and rushed out.

Okay, you Shen Qingzhi, just leave, and leave such a stubble before leaving, isn't it obvious that you don't want me to be able to settle down to cultivate the Tao in the future?

"Shen Qingzhi!" I rushed outside her room and pushed the door open.

She looked up in amazement, and there were a few unpacked clothes scattered around her hand.

"You ......"

"Today is your birthday, why didn't you tell me?" I glared at her.

She looked even more surprised: "How do you know...... Did Senior Brother Qinghe say it? ”

I walked up to her angrily, crossed my waist and asked, "Although I Qingping can't get used to you, after all, we have been together for so long, and we should help you celebrate your birthday, why do you hide it from me?" The whole Taoist temple knows about it, but you don't tell me, are you ......?"

At this point, I was stunned, and my momentum immediately waned.

I sat down next to her, lowered my head and whispered, "Do you also think I'm annoying, and I think of myself very highly?" ”

I thought she would laugh at me like other brothers, but not only did she not, but asked me very solemnly, "Qingping, do you think I am annoying, very hypocritical, and unprincipled?" ”

I shook my head, "You're not that kind of person. ”

I know.

Although in just this short period of time, she has coaxed the senior brothers up and down the whole Taoist temple, and even the elder teachers and fathers like her, but I understand that this is not hypocrisy, acting on the spot, and it is not unprincipled, she just doesn't want the people in Wei Yinghoufu to embarrass her.

The people in the Houfu regard her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, if she doesn't do everything to the best, she won't be able to survive in the Houfu at all.

"Since you don't think I'm that kind of person," she nodded, suddenly looking me in the eye, "then you're not that kind of person either." ”

Speaking of this, she bent her eyebrows and laughed, "Daoist Qingping, don't lose your Dao heart!" ”

This is the first time she has called me Qingping Daoist, but I feel astringent, and there is an indescribable awkwardness and discomfort.

"The nine iris flowers are not blooming, but the stars on them are very beautiful, you ...... Do you want to check it out? I looked off the line and asked her.

She nodded cheerfully, "Well, I've never looked at the stars properly." ”

She put down the baggage she was packing, took my hand and walked outside.

In fact, the starry sky outside is very big, and no matter where people are, they can look up and see it, but I always feel that only the one on the Nine Kite Sea and Mountain Pass is the most beautiful.

I used to think so, but in the future, I ......

I looked at her beside me, and suddenly there was a sense of serenity and serenity in my heart that I had never felt before.

"Qingping, in your eyes, do all living beings have a way of life?" After looking at the starry sky for a long time, she somehow asked me such a question.

I was stunned for a moment by her question, but the next second I gave her an answer.

"Yin and Yang are opposites of all things, if you think that all living beings have a door to death, naturally all living beings have a way of life."

"Yin and Yang Opposite......" There seemed to be a momentary loss of concentration in her eyes, but when I looked closely, there was nothing in her eyes except the stars.

"So, what's your way of life?" She asked me.

"Build the Supreme Avenue." I almost blurted it out, and at the same time I was determined.

"Supreme Avenue?" She seemed interested, but she didn't.

"What about mine? What is my life? She looked at me and asked nonchalantly.

I stared into her eyes, my brow furrowing and furrowing, and eventually, I turned my head away and said nothing.

I didn't know what to say to her, but she smiled.

"The ancients said, It is better to forget the age than to accept the old, and to forget the past and the present. Forget resentment and enjoy it, it's rare to be confused about everything. Maybe it's not bad to be 'rare and confused', everything is too serious, and in the end, it is yourself who suffers. ”

Her words were very open-minded, but whether it was from her eyes or the expression on her face, it was not difficult for me to see the sadness in her heart.

I have heard her say about Wei Ying's Houfu, and I have also seen with my own eyes how those subordinates in the Houfu treat her.

Piles of gold and jade, jewelry and gorgeous clothes, in fact, apart from those people, who can still look at it?

"Next autumn, if you come here again, by then, the nine kites will definitely bloom." I said this to her.

She was confused and surprised, but in the end, she chose to take my word for it.

"Well, I'll come back next fall."

Time passed quietly at my fingertips, and I pursed my lips to look at her, and suddenly I felt that I was so familiar with her.

The next day, before dawn, she came to say goodbye to all the brothers and sisters.

She was leaving, and the carriage was waiting outside.

"Can't you go back? I can divide the study in half with you. I said to her.

"I am the son of Wei Yinghoufu, and the son has the responsibility of the son." She smiled, shook her head, and left the temple.
