Chapter 45: The Seventh Life
Outside the west courtyard of Guanyin Temple.
"Let's go back."
"We'll meet again tomorrow."
Looking at Qing Yu, who was looking at himself with affection, Shi Zhongtai suppressed the patience that was about to be exhausted in his heart, and smiled gently, "Didn't you make an appointment with Fang Cai, what's the matter, are you afraid that my people will run away?" ”
"It's not that you don't know where I live, even if I have to go down the mountain and don't tell those masters, we won't be able to leave, don't you say?"
Qing Yu shook his head, "Xiao Yu is not afraid of Childe running." ”
"Huh?" Shi Zhongtai smiled and asked, "What about you?" ”
"Childe likes Qing..."Qing Yu blinked his good-looking double eyelids, and looked at Shi Zhongtai who was covering his mouth with teary eyes.
Shi Zhongtai sighed in his heart, a warm smile appeared on his face, and with his right hand, he brought Qing Yu's body to him, "If you can, I want you now!" Then, he gritted his teeth, patted her on the buttocks, and scolded softly, "Go back quickly!" ”
"Hmm~"
Qing Yu pursed his lips and bit his lip, endured the sound deep in his throat, and took Shi Zhongtai's hand and reluctantly parted.
"I'll go, I can't live if I do my own evil, I'm so fucking tired!"
Seeing Qing Yu's figure disappear completely, Shi Zhongtai supported his knees with both hands, half-arched and scolded in a low voice, then straightened his waist and turned around and walked towards the wing.
"Knock Knock"
"Childe, Master Childe is back."
"Squeak"
On Tuesday, the voice landed, and Zhou Kangren opened the door from the inside.
"Go, bring all the hot water you have prepared, let him soak in it, and go to the fatigue."
"Whoa"
Tuesday answered, and went down to do something.
"Two hours, would I like to give you some supper to make up for it?"
"Bian Er" scolded, Shi Zhongtai did not enter his room, "Although there are changes, everything is fine, we need to wait." ”
Walking to his room, Tuesday had already prepared the bath water, and when Tuesday went out, Shi Zhongtai untied his clothes and jumped into the barrel.
So far, there has been no word all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Zhongtai got up again in the morning, it was still the old place under the big banyan tree, the difference was that yesterday he had a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and his eyes hooked into the hall.
As soon as the hour arrived, the sound of wooden fish in the hall stopped, followed by the sound of broken footsteps, Shi Zhongtai still closed his eyes, and his hands rhythmically beat the unknown beat.
"Do you know why this tree was planted here?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shi Zhongtai's mouth, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”
If it was someone else, I was afraid that I would leave directly after hearing what Shi Zhongtai said, but the master's ability to bear it was very strong, and he didn't pay any attention to Shi Zhongtai's words of expulsion, and still said in a calm tone, "According to legend, thousands of years ago, Master Guanyin returned to the world to experience a love tribulation, and the love tribulation was divided into seven generations. In the first life, Guanyin was born as an unknown small tree, coming and going in the wind and rain, growing from a seed to a big tree, from life to death is lonely, although it is also lonely when it dies, but it does not feel anything. In order to get rid of the loneliness, the second life was still the small tree, but the location changed and it was changed to the forest. The forest is very large, and there are many trees, but it grows more slowly, and the sunlight is taken away by the big ones, and it can't compete with it, and it can't compare. The silence kept it silent, but after a while, it found that it had the opportunity to be exposed to the sun after a few days, although it was only for a while, but it was still very happy, and the days became much more comfortable. ”
"The happiness of the previous life makes it unhappy, and in the third life, it wants to be the largest tree in the forest. It succeeded, a small seedling at the beginning, gradually grew up, the surrounding small trees are far away from it, no one dares to approach it, and it is respectful to it when it speaks on weekdays, the little tree does not understand why, but feels nothing. Decades passed, and it finally grew up and became the largest tree in the forest. Looking at it, there has never been a kind of vastness in the heart, joy to the extreme, but the surrounding large and small trees have been pushed, for a while, the whole forest is crying, it feels an inexplicable sadness for the first time, and there is a faint uneasy guilt, this guilt makes it want to escape, want to leave, not long after, it left the world. ”
"In the fourth life, it made the small trees around the big tree, and if there is no sunlight, there will be more water, and if there is no water, there will be a trace of sunshine, and the relationship with friends makes it very happy. But the only big tree, from small to large, it can't go there, and it has to be respectful to him, because it is the center of the forest. They all looked at him from afar, with smiles on their faces but pity in their hearts, for they all knew that the big tree would die in a short time. In the fifth life, it becomes a random tree, left to the Buddha's arrangement of its coming and going. It grew into a big tree for decades, and suddenly one day, a seedling grew next to it, and it saw that the seedling had grown from small to large into a small tree. The surrounding saplings are competing for the wind and rain and sunshine, but it is the only one that grows there, not fighting or grabbing, growing more and more slowly, and it seems that there is no desire to fight for it at all. After some time, it occasionally shook its branches and swayed its body, and the wind it brought out blew away the surrounding trees, except for the small tree, which was clearly illuminated by the sun. It smiled, lived in abundance, and when it grew older, it went away. ”
"In the fifth life, it became a tree next to the seedlings, and became one of the competing for wind and rain. From the beginning of the seedlings, they began to compete with the surrounding saplings, snatched the wind and rain, robbed the sun, fought for a lifetime from life to death, and were still fighting for that little bit of wind and rain when they died. ”
"In this life, it chooses to be a small grass, a small grass that grows outside the forest. When spring arrives, everything grows in the forest, and it grows gradually. Dusty, as a bystander, it saw a group of iron walls, behind the forest are mountain villages and farmland, watching some trees are blown off by the wind, and the grass is moved to tears. In summer, the scorching sun scorches the earth, and even it feels like it's going to be scorched. But the forest is still providing shade for others. The autumn wind was a little merciless, blowing off all the leaves in the forest one by one, and the fallen leaves blew to the farmer's house, and also blew thick on its side, and it was a little angry, and in winter, it cried again. It turned out that those leaves were just to make it walk with peace of mind and warmth. ”
In the last life, instead of making plants and flowers, he chose to be a farmer by the forest. When he was a child, his father took him to the woods to collect firewood, and when he grew up, he went to the woods to cut wood himself, and then brought the wood back to build a house, and the largest of them was used by him as the main beam, supporting the whole wooden house. When the child grows up, he takes the child to collect firewood, and when the child is older, he goes to cut down trees, build a house, and marry a bride. ”
"Donor, what do you understand?"
