After Li You's incident, Concubine Yin De turned to the Buddha and lived in the Xuanwu Hall near the Protectorate Temple from the Great Horn Temple.

The furnishings in the Xuanwu Hall are very simple, and there is a faint Sanskrit fragrance in the corridor. Except for a few eunuchs guarding the gate outside, there are only three old nuns and Concubine Yinde, who live in the palace of Ruoda.

When Qin Mubai saw Concubine Yin De, she was sitting cross-legged on a black cloth, her hair was tied up high and simply knotted into a ponytail, she was wearing a plain black gray and white robe, twisting Buddha beads in her hand and knocking on the wooden fish, closing her eyes and listening to Zen. An elderly nun, who was at least sixty years old, sat across from her, chanting softly.

Princess Gaoyang softly told Qin Mubai that it was her mother's master, Master Shanqing. She has been a monk since she was a child and has been practicing Buddhism for at least 50 years.

After the two entered, Shanqing stopped talking about Zen, opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Niangniang, there is a fate to come." ”

Concubine Yin De looked back and saw Princess Gaoyang trotting over, with a hint of kindness on her plain willow eyebrows; At another glance, she saw Qin Mubai walking slowly, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise lightly, and her expression was slightly stagnant.

Qingshan glanced at it, slowly closed his eyes, and chanted, "Amitabha...... All sentient beings are self-empty, and their true hearts have no beginning, and they are originally pure in nature. ”

Concubine Yin De actually looked panicked, hurriedly turned around her, and bowed together: "Master, I can't cut off the dust after all...... It's better to ask the master to shave off the three thousand troubles for the apprentice and officially admit me to Buddhism! ”

Qingshan clasped his hands together and closed his eyes and smiled, shook his head, and said leisurely: "It is really like Buddha nature, not mortal; Troubles and dirt, originally phaseless, how can the quality of the water wash the body? ”

"Shame on you......," Concubine Yin De lowered her eyebrows and bowed respectfully, and said softly, "The Buddha said, for the sake of the heart, there will be love and dust troubles and worries if Eligen is brave and straightforward, and cultivates to the place where no thought is born, it is the original face...... The disciples are puzzled, there are many Buddha thoughts, and the Buddha also has feelings, so why can't one thought be born? ”

Qingshan smiled and said nothing.

Princess Gaoyang had already slowed down her pace when she ran closer, gently sat down with Concubine Yin De, and said in confusion: "Mother, what are you muttering to Master Qingshan?" Why can't I understand a word? ”

Concubine Yin De smiled slightly, and reached out to stroke Princess Gaoyang's dark and smooth hair, "Ling'er, you're going to get married too...... Time flies! ”

"Hey, hey!" Princess Gaoyang smiled innocently, "Mother, I specially called Mu Bai here today to accompany you for a vegetarian meal!" ”

"Really?" Concubine Yin De smiled faintly, a candlelight elongated man figure was already reflected in front of her, and she heard Qin Mubai behind her say: "Weichen Qin Mubai, I have seen Niangniang." ”

"There are all laypeople here, only the master of goodness is respected." Concubine Yin De didn't return the salute, nor did she look back, but just said softly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, folded his hands and bowed to Qingshan: "Qin Mubai, a layman, has seen Master Qingshan. ”

"Donor's excuse." At this time, Qing Shancai opened his eyes again, looked Qin Mubai up and down with a soft look, nodded slightly, and smiled meaningfully, "Poor Ni, I haven't seen a person with such heroic aura as the donor for many years. ”

"The master praised. Qin didn't know anything about Buddhism. If there is anything abrupt that disturbs the purity of this room, please forgive me. Qin Mubai said.

Qing Shan raised his head slightly and looked at Qin Mubai, nodded and smiled: "All those who have no heart and no dwelling, the world is born without a law." If there is a Buddha in the heart, then the Buddha is everywhere, so why stick to the classic Zen temple? Lord Qin, you have a great relationship with the Buddha from the beginning of your aura. ”

"Ah, no, wouldn't it?" Princess Gaoyang was confused when she heard this, but she was frightened by Qingshan's second half of the sentence, and said in a panic, "Mu Bai, you won't become a monk, right?" ”

"Silly boy, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Yin De smiled, "Master Qingshan is just praising Mu Bai's qualifications. ”

"Oh, that's pretty much ...... Hey! Princess Gao Yang smiled reassuringly.

Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head, he was really speechless for Princess Gaoyang. However, although he has never had any great interest in Buddhism, he always has a trace of awe in his heart. In any case, this is also the wisdom accumulated by countless people for thousands of years, no matter how brilliant and practical it is, at least, it is also the precipitation of human wisdom and history, and it always has its subtlety and uniqueness.

"The donor will sit down for a while, and the poor nun will arrange vegetarian fasting." After saying that, Qingshan got up and sang Funo to say goodbye first. After a while, the other two old nuns came in and served tea, and withdrew silently.

Qin Mubai sat down quietly on one side of the couch without saying much. Concubine Yin De sat with Princess Gao Yang, who was still a little naughty in her mother's arms and pillowed her thighs like a child, chatting softly.

The meditation room is very quiet, and the environment of the whole Xuanwu Hall is also very quiet, which is indeed a good place to escape from the world and cultivate the mind.

It seems that Concubine Yin De has long been integrated with such an environment. The simplicity, serenity and calmness she has cultivated for more than 20 years make her calm and calm, and she is in harmony with the surrounding atmosphere.

From the moment she entered the room, Concubine Yin De had never looked at Qin Mubai once. But Qin Mubai clearly felt that her attention was always inadvertently on herself, and there might be a ray of afterglow falling on him from the corner of her eye.

"Under her plain and elegant appearance, is that heart really as quiet as Zhishui?"

Soon after, vegetarian food was fetched. In the food culture of the Tang people, meat is the mainstream, and all the dishes that are famous are meat dishes or fried. So, although the food culture is glamorous, it is not actually very healthy. I'm afraid that this is also an important inducement or manifestation of the Tang people's beauty of fat.

Eating a vegetarian meal once in a while to clear the stomach and intestines feels pretty good. Moreover, the vegetarian food in a place like Gokoku-Tennoji Temple is obviously not as simple as boiling vegetables and radishes, but is quite fine and elegant, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of color and flavor.

Qin Mubai had a big feast. After eating, take a sip of tea, and the lingering aroma of your lips and teeth is very comfortable.

It's too early to finish eating. Since you have come to the Buddhist temple, why not be a good man and a woman? Qin Mubai donated some sesame oil immediately. Qingshan did not refuse, and stored these brass vulgar things without a trace of fireworks. She said: "In Buddhist monasteries, there is no shortage of sesame oil. But Buddhism never refused to accept the letter, and the poor nun accepted this sesame oil money, which can be regarded as the heart of the Qin benefactor. ”

Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "Master Qingshan, can you always finish telling my mother those Buddhist verses every day?" Why don't you tell us about it today, I want to know if it's fun! ”

"Ling'er can't be unreasonable!" Concubine Yin De said angrily, "Master Qingshan has profound Buddhist principles, but it's not fun to tell stories. ”

Qingshan smiled disapprovingly and said, "Since Her Royal Highness the princess is interested, it doesn't hurt for the poor nun to tell the princess a story." ”

"Hee-hee, good!" Princess Gaoyang nodded excitedly, "Did you hear that, mother?" The Buddhists also tell stories, what's this! ”

Qin Mubai took a sip of tea and didn't say anything. He always felt that the inconspicuous nun in his sixties, who was inconspicuous, had a pair of eyes that were insightful. What would the story look like in her mouth?

Qin Mubai is looking forward to it.

Qingshan's eyes swept over the three people in the hall naturally and softly, and said leisurely-

Once upon a time, a scholar and the woman he loved were in love, and agreed to get married. But on that day, his wife was married to someone else. The scholar was so grief-stricken that he couldn't afford to fall ill from then on. ”

"Wow!" Princess Gao Yang exclaimed, "That woman is too much! - Master Qingshan, how do you tell such a story! Don't you know that Mu Bai and I ...... Is...... Are you about to get married? ”

"Poor Ni knows. Her Royal Highness the princess is at ease. Qingshan smiled indifferently and continued, "The scholar's family couldn't cure the scholar's illness even if they couldn't cure the scholar's illness after asking for a famous doctor. One day, a monk passed by his house and volunteered to come and treat the scholar. He didn't take the medicine with the needle, but just took out a mirror to show the scholar. ”

"It is a three-life mirror, which can see people's past and present lives. An image appears in the mirror, revealing a beach with a naked female corpse lying on the beach. At this moment a man passed by, looked at it, shook his head and left; Soon another man came, and took off his garment, and covered the woman; At last a man came, dug a pit, and buried the woman's body. ”

"The scholar was very puzzled, and at this time there was such a scene in the mirror, when the woman was in the cave room and his husband lifted his hijab ......"

Speaking of this, Qingshan paused. Seeing that, Princess Gao Yang and Concubine Yin De both looked at him in confusion. Qin Mubai took a cup of tea and drank it thoughtlessly.

"Master Qin, what did you think of?" Qingshan asked.

Qin Mubai clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "The disciple is thinking, the female corpse and the woman are the same person in the past and present lives; That scholar is probably the person who covered the female corpse in his previous life; And the woman's husband was the kind man who dug him and buried him. ”

"Ah......h

Qingshan's eyes flashed with a look of surprise and appreciation that was imperceptible, and he nodded with a smile, "Good fate, good fate...... Good, good! ”

"Master Qingshan...... Then ......" Princess Gao Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Mu Bai, could it be the person who buried me in my previous life?" ”

"Unknowable, unspeakable." Qingshan closed his eyes and smiled, and said leisurely, "In the past life and this life, fate is born and lost, who can say clearly, the way is clear?" If you don't realize the front of the life, you will know the place where the end will be born. Why should Her Royal Highness be obsessed with her past life? ”

"I don't understand ......," Princess Gao Yang shook her head in confusion.

Qingshan nodded with a smile: "Then please Your Royal Highness the Princess, listen to another story!" ”

"Good!"

"Once upon a time, there was a temple where incense flourished, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. There is a spider under the eaves in front of the temple, because of thousands of years of listening to the scriptures, it has spirituality and Buddha enlightenment. One day, the Buddha came to this temple and asked this spider, 'What is the most precious thing in the world?' ”

Speaking of this, Qingshan paused again and asked with a smile: "The three of you might as well answer this question." Concubine De, please go first! ”

Concubine Yin De folded her hands and bowed, bit her lip lightly, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sincerely respond to things, and there is no difference." The most precious thing in the world is nothing more than what cannot be gained, or has been lost. ”

Qingshan nodded and smiled: "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Princess Gao Yang didn't think twice: "Feelings! The most noble thing in the world is affection - family, love, friendship! ”

Qingshan still nodded and smiled, and asked Qin Mubai, "What about Master Qin?" ”

Qin Mubai put down the teacup and folded his hands together, and said with a smile: "Now this moment, including every moment of life, is the most precious. ”

Qingshan raised his eyebrows, and the twisting and circulating Buddha beads in his hand couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Master, which of us got the answer right?" Princess Gao Yang asked.

Qingshan smiled and did not answer, but said: "After listening to this story, you will know - the Buddha asked the spider, and the spider's answer was, 'What cannot be obtained, and what has been lost, is the most precious'." ”

"Huh? Same answer as my mother?! Princess Gao Yang exclaimed.

Concubine Yin De was also stunned for a while, and looked at Qingshan in dismay.

"Don't worry." Qingshan just smiled and continued, "The Buddha received an answer from the spider and floated away without saying a word. Another thousand years later, the Buddha came to the temple again and still saw the spider. After a thousand years of practice, the spider's Buddha nature and understanding have increased greatly. The Buddha asked it the same question again, and the spider replied that the most precious things in the world are those that are not gained and those that have been lost. The Buddha still didn't say much, nodded and smiled. ”

The three of them all held their breath and listened quietly as Qingshan told this ancient story.

Qingshan twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and closed his eyes and groaned, and said leisurely: "Another thousand years have passed, and suddenly one day, a gust of wind blew down a dewdrop, which happened to fall on the spider's body. The spider suddenly felt very comfortable and happy. It felt like it was the happiest day it had been in 3,000 years. But the wind did not stop, and the dew was soon blown off again, and the spider was very lost and sad. Then the Buddha appeared and asked him the same question. The spider thought of the dewdrops, and said sadly that the most precious thing in the world is that it cannot be obtained and has been lost. ”

The Buddha smiled and said to it, since you are so persistent, I will let you go to the world for a while, and arrange a marriage for you. So, let the spider be reincarnated into the world and become a daughter of a famous family. She is beautiful, generous, and her reputation is far and wide, and the people who came to ask for marriage have broken through the threshold, but she has always insisted on not marrying, waiting for a marriage arranged by the Buddha for her. Finally, one day, she met a man named Ganlu. He is the champion of the new department, and he is only a high and suave person, and she decided at a glance that this is her fate. Because she recognized the champion 'Ganlu', which was the drop of dew she had encountered in the spider web years ago. So she found Ganlu and revealed her heart to him. But Ganlu was very confused, and thought she was ridiculous, and rejected her favor. A few days later, an edict was issued in the palace ordering Ganlu to marry a princess and betrothing her to another prince whom she did not know. When the spider heard the news, she couldn't figure out why the Buddha teased and abused her so much. So, she didn't eat or drink and wanted to die, and the prince heard the news and hurriedly ran to see her. Seeing that she was dying, the prince said bitterly that he fell in love with her at first sight, so he went to ask his father for marriage. If the spider can't live, he won't have the desire to live! So, he prepared to draw his sword and kill himself......"

"Wow...... Princess Gaoyang sighed softly, "This prince is so infatuated!" But the spider only has Ganlu in his heart, and if it were me, it would be really embarrassing! ”

Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Just as the prince was about to draw his sword and kill himself, the Buddha appeared. The spider immediately questioned the Buddha, why did he do this to her? The Buddha replied with a smile, spider, the nectar is brought by the wind, and it is also carried away by the wind, and he only belongs to the wind. The princess who promised to marry the champion Ganlu was the wind. That drop of nectar is just a passerby in your life. Although you are full of nostalgia for it, it does not belong to you after all. And the prince was a grass under the cobwebs of the Buddhist temple back then, he looked up to you for 3,000 years, admired you for 3,000 years, but you never looked down at him. ”

After the Buddha's words, both the spider and the prince remembered the time of three thousand years. The Buddha asked again, spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? The spider was moved to tears, she hugged the prince, and said, the most precious thing in the world is not that it cannot be obtained or lost, but the happiness that can be grasped now! ”

The story of Qingshan is over. The room was quiet.

Princess Gaoyang's eyes were red, but she didn't cry or shed tears, she just held her mother's hand tightly and bit her lip.

Qin Mubai frowned lightly and carried the cup of tea, looking at the small tea powder floating on the tea surface, thinking in his heart: Although Buddhism and Taoism are a little ethereal, there are also many wise sayings. This story is very well told, and indeed, the most cherished thing in the world is what you have around you right now. I don't feel it when I have it, and I regret it after I lose it. This is probably also a common disease of people......

At this time, Qin Mubai vaguely felt that a strange gaze fell on his face gently and unintentionally. Without thinking about it, he raised his eyelids almost instinctively and looked at the other side, just in time to meet the eyes of Concubine Yin De.

The four eyes met each other and quickly separated.

With a glance, Qin Mubai couldn't understand the meaning in her eyes for a while.

"After three thousand years of admiration and admiration, you have never looked down at him......"

……

"The three of them are all destined for Buddha." Qingshan's voice broke the tranquility of the scene, and he was still so unhurried, and said relaxed and leisurely, "Mother and daughter are concentric, and they are equally obsessed with love." The most precious thing in the world is indeed emotion. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? The Buddha also has affection, compassion for the world and all sentient beings. However, Concubine De Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the most precious thing in the world is not that you can't get it or have lost it, but the happiness that you can grasp right now. As Qin Shizhu said, at this moment, every moment of life is beautiful and worth cherishing. ”

"Thank you, Master."

The three of them bent down with their hands folded in unison.

Worship religiously.

"Concubine De, Lao Ni has one last story, I want to tell you it. However, if Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Qin are interested, they may wish to observe. Qingshan said.

"Master Xie." The three of them bowed again, and Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang had no intention of leaving.

"Once upon a time, there was a peerless woman who was arrogant and arrogant, ignoring all ordinary suitors, and only pursuing her ideal husband. One day, she happened to see a man in the vast sea of people, and her heart was moved, and she decided that the man was her life's marriage. However, the man was fleeting, and she could never find it again. So, she went to seek the Buddha. She touched the Buddha with her devotion and persistence, and the Buddha appeared and asked her, do you want to see that man again? The woman replied yes. The Buddha said, you have to practice for 500 years, and you will be exposed to the wind and sun for 500 years before you can see him again, are you willing? The woman replied, "I do." ”

So the Buddha made her turn into a stone and lay down in the barren mountains and mountains, and she was exposed to the wind and sun for four hundred and ninety-nine years, and she did not see a single person. In the 500th year, several stonemasons came to hew her out of the mountains into stone strips and used them to build bridges. Finally, she waited for the man to walk across the bridge. But the man didn't know that he had turned into stone, and he just glanced at him and left. The woman was not reconciled, and said to the Buddha, I am willing to be exposed to the wind and the sun for another 500 years, just so that I can touch his skin. The Buddha agreed. The Buddha incarnated her into a tree and grew alone for 500 years. It was a cool day, and the man came to the tree, and when he was sleepy and tired, he lay down in the shade and rested for a while. The woman wept with joy and pulled the branches of the tree into shade to shield him from the scorching sun. The man woke up from a sleep under the tree, touched the trunk gratefully, and left. ”

Princess Gaoyang's eyes were red and she sobbed in a low voice: "That man, so kind......"

Qingshan just smiled and continued, "The moment the man disappeared, the Buddha appeared. He asked the woman if you still want to be married to him for the rest of your life, then you have to continue your practice. The woman smiled and shook her head with a relieved smile, and she said that although I wanted to, I didn't need to. So I am already content, love him, and don't necessarily have him as his wife. The Buddha nodded happily and smiled, and said that he and his current wife had been exposed to the wind and sun for three thousand years in order to be able to marry for a lifetime. ”

Princess Gaoyang burst into tears, got up and walked to Qin Mubai's side, squatted down and hugged him tightly: "Mubai, we have only been together for three thousand years of cultivation!" ”

"Amitabha...... It is clear that there is no life and death, and it comes and goes constantly. Right and wrong are like yesterday's dreams, and they are really and quickly. Qingshan closed his eyes, smiled with his hands folded, and chanted, "The real end of this story is that the Buddha said that in order to see him, you touch him once, and you are exposed to the wind and the sun for five hundred years; In fact, there is another person who has been practicing hard for 2,000 years in order to see you touch you once and marry you once and marry you for a lifetime. Right now...... He would probably have suffered a thousand years less. ”

Concubine Yinde's eyes were tightly closed, her lips trembled slightly, her hands folded, she bent down and nodded her head to the ground: "Master, the disciple knows his mistake." The disciple knows what to do......"

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Qingshan let out a long breath, nodded and smiled, "Where do you get a mountain and a water?" A word and a silence are always up to Yi; It's all wrong to touch, and the warmth and coldness have never been known to themselves. Concubine De, you can't escape from the deep roots, why bother with it? Lotte knows fate, no joy and worry-free, wonderful, and its joy is difficult to describe. Lao Ni will say a word to the Qin donor and then transfer it to you, there is a Buddha in your heart, then the Buddha is everywhere, why stick to the classic Zen temple? - You, go! ”

Princess Gao Yang was taken aback: "Master, where are you letting my mother go?" ”

"Where did you come from, where did you go?" Qingshan closed his eyes and smiled, and let out a long groan, "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Concubine Yin De nodded a few times, got up, looked at the towering Buddha above her head with a long gaze, and said leisurely: "Gao Yang, accompany Weiniang to see you...... Father! ”

Qin Mubai drank the last sip of tea, put down the teacup, and got up.

Now, he could only see the back of Concubine Yin De, but he seemed to see a sigh that had passed through thousands of years...... She has to go back after all, to protect the man who can't be looked at for 3,000 years and can't be seen by her for 2,000 years in order to have a lifetime of husband and wife...... And I, on the other hand, may have put a garment over her corpse in my previous life, and turned into a dew to her side. is destined to be just a passerby in her life.

Passer......
