Chapter 42: Only You Can Save Yourself
Looking at Yun Shen's eyes, Shen Zhimeng seemed to understand the meaning of his words, but she still had some questions that she couldn't understand, "Although this flower has gone through a very difficult process to get here, what is the significance of it coming here?" There are so many flowers here that are more viable than it, isn't it afraid that it will end up with nothing left? Also, if it's just a one-time flower, will there be a big difference there? ”
"Ah Meng, have you ever seen a flower on the edge of a cliff?" Yun Shen didn't rush to answer her question, but asked her a rhetorical question.
The latter shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”
"You say, if there was a cliff in front of you now, and there was an ordinary flower blooming on it, but it was the only flower on the cliff, would you be shocked?" Yun Shen opened his mouth and said, "If it was just an ordinary place in front of you now, with a bush that you can rarely see, would you feel shocked?" ”
Shen Zhimeng imagined the picture described by Yun Shen for a moment, then nodded and shook his head: "Is it difficult to understand the meaning of flowers blooming just for the sake of existence, can it shock human beings or not?" ”
"No, what I want to tell you is that no matter where you look at a flower, it is the result of their own choice, but whether it is the only ordinary word on the cliff, or a rare flower on the side of the road, they have all experienced the baptism of fate, they did not die in the soil when they were still seeds, nor were they brushed by the rain when they first sprouted green shoots, and they were not eaten as weeds by the little rabbits, they are alive, it is a miracle, just like us, we are still alive, It's also a great miracle! Yun Shen opened his mouth and handed the rabbit in his hand to Shen Zhimeng, and then fed the flower in Shen Zhimeng's hand to the little rabbit, "Look, this flower, it can be plucked or eaten by rabbits, but before these, isn't it still alive very well?" Haven't you seen it in good shape? ”
When Shen Zhimeng heard this, she remembered a sentence, but she still didn't say it in the end, in fact, after saying so much, what Yun Shen wanted to tell herself most was that life is incomplete, lonely and full of regrets, but being able to live is already a big enough miracle, and everything else is just a luxury other than a miracle!
"I know what you mean, Yun Shen, thank you!" Shen Zhimeng looked at Yun Shen, her eyes were full of tears, she threw herself into Yun Shen's arms, and her voice became urned, "Before, no one would tell me this, everyone was very taboo with me or these things, so I used to be very taboo about dying these things, and I slowly felt that such a day was better than death, so I began to think about this aspect intentionally or unintentionally, what if...... If I hadn't told me this from you today, I'd be really afraid that when I finally left, I would have been crippled, lonely and regretful, taking nothing with me and leaving nothing behind! ”
Yun Shen patted her back and said softly, "It's good to figure it out, if you want to cry, cry well, the little girl's family should be vibrant, why do you always think about the heavy issue of life and death!" ”
Shen Zhimeng cried even more fiercely in his arms after hearing this, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and incomprehensions from being sensible to now, and even Yun Shen, who was hugged, felt the wetness in front of his clothes, thinking about it, the little girl should have been depressed for too long, she was not allowed to try anything, she lived in false freedom since she was a child, such a life, the little girl still has to pretend to be happy, and it is really hard!
waited until Shen Zhimeng's crying gradually became quieter, and Yun Shen opened his mouth to comfort her, "I've been crying for so long, do you feel better?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Zhimeng nodded in his arms as he spoke, "Yun Shen, did you say that you were sent by your Buddha to save me, I never... I've never had it so easy since Ali, really! ”
Yun Shen hugged her shoulders, brought the person up, and then looked at her and said word by word, "Ah Meng, you must know that the only thing others can give you is help and reminders, and you will always be the only one who can save you!" ”
"Didn't you Buddhas say that you want to purify sentient beings, how can you let you save me, you use this kind of excuse!" Shen Zhimeng said and hammered him on the chest, "Look at you, what else can I only save myself, if everyone can save themselves, how can there be so many people who have no way to get out of the sea of suffering!" ”
"Because they are not like you, they have no guidance from people like me." Yun Shen slowly spoke, "Ah Meng, there are very few people like me in the world, and there are not many people who can guide me, so there will still be so many people in the sea of suffering!" ”
When Shen Zhimeng was about to say something, he suddenly remembered in his mind what he had forgotten to listen to before, the reason why Yun Shen was able to become a closed disciple of the host was because of talent, so there were not many people in Yun Shen's air, and I thought that there were not many people with this kind of talent!
"Say, how much Dharma have you learned?" Shen Zhimeng's words became this sentence when they came to his mouth.
"I didn't understand anything, and I understood everything!" Yun Shen slowly spoke, "Ah Meng, you must know that Buddhism is dead, but people are alive, and whether they understand it or not will never be said thoroughly!" ”
"Okay, okay, anyway, I won't be able to listen to you a lot of these things, so let's take a good look at the scenery around here!" Shen Zhimeng waved his hand, with an expression that he didn't want to delve into this issue.
Yun Shen could naturally see how much she listened to her words, but Shen Zhimeng didn't want to continue, so he stopped as he said and put the topic back to the surrounding scenery.
"In the past, this back mountain was still very desolate, but I forgot that the master told me that it was the host of that generation, he met an apprentice he particularly liked at that time, and finally persuaded people to bring back to the temple, but then a serious illness, the apprentice passed away, the host only felt that God was punishing him, and buried the apprentice in the back mountain with tears, and then I don't know where to get a lot of seeds, directly scattered on the back mountain, and did not let people take care of it, after a long time, it became what it is now." Yun Shen looked at the large flowers in the back mountain, and opened his mouth to talk to Shen Zhimeng about the origin of this sea of flowers, "Later, after the presiding over the death, he ordered the people in the temple to cremate him directly, and then sprinkled it on the back mountain. Since then, the next hosts have inexplicably chosen to scatter their ashes on this back mountain, which is probably a sense of ritual passed down from generation to generation! ”
Shen Zhimeng nodded after listening to his explanation, and then asked, "If it is true that many people's ashes are scattered here, then why do I only feel the breath of sunshine and hair, and not the slightest yin and evil aura?" ”
"Because these are all the presiding monks of the past dynasties, when they were alive, they were all people who did good deeds, and they naturally did not have yin qi after death, not only that, but perhaps it was the blessing of these people, even with the entire temple on this mountain, there are few places with heavy yin qi!" Yun Shen opened his mouth and said, "This back mountain, generally people will not be able to come over, and ordinary people can't find the way over, after all, in this kind of place, ordinary people may not be able to stand it!" ”
"Then I..." Shen Zhimeng wanted to speak and stopped.
"I brought you here, you'll be fine!" Yun Shen opened his mouth and said, "When Houshan goes out to preside over the death, the monks generally won't come, unless it is the presiding or presiding disciple, I heard that the master brought your eldest brother here before, and if you want to come here, you can also bring outsiders, but it depends on whether we want to or not!" ”
Shen Zhimeng nodded, revealing an expression of "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal", "I'll tell you, if you had told me about this earlier, and then said a lot of things you said to me before, I would definitely not reply to you at all!" Speaking of this, Shen Zhimeng seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in surprise, "Then you just picked the flowers here, then ......"
"The ancestors know what I'm doing, and they won't blame me!" Yun Shen touched her head, "Okay, don't look like this, you're not afraid of this!" After reading the back mountain, let's take you to another place! ”
"Where are you going?" Shen Zhimeng subconsciously asked.
"Go to a place that no one else knows!" Yun Shen took Shen Zhimeng's hand as he spoke, and then took her to walk a little way from the side, "Go to a place where I haven't taken anyone to yet!" ”
When Shen Zhimeng heard his words, he only felt very interesting, so he obediently let him lead him, and followed behind step by step, looking really like a child a few years old.
After passing through a bamboo forest and turning around, Shen Zhimeng felt that his vision had widened, but it didn't seem that he had reached the place where Yun Shen said, so he pulled Shen Zhimeng forward for a distance, and then stopped at the edge of a waterhole.
"This is the place I stumbled upon before, it's quiet, and no one usually comes, and besides, this pool, although it looks cold, is actually a rare hot spring, and at noon, it's even more beautiful!" Yun Shen pulled Shen Zhimeng to squat down as he spoke, and motioned for her to test the temperature of the pool water.
Shen Zhimeng broke off according to his words, and then tried the pool water, it was really the right temperature, and now at this season, it is the most comfortable thing to be able to enjoy such a hot spring!
