The wick in the lamp was half burning, and the light in the room was dimly bright, Gao Changgong came to see me and asked, "Are you satisfied with this room?" ”

I smiled like a trickle of clear water, and said, "The princess is virtuous and thoughtful, and this place is very much in line with my wishes." With this good wife, the prince is blessed. ”

Gao Changgong's gentle eyes flashed a hint of unnaturalness, and said, "You can stay in peace, if there is anything missing, ask someone to bring it to you." ”

"I don't lack anything, just lack an explanation from the prince?" I stared at him brightly.

"Explain?" Gao Changgong was puzzled.

"The prince has never brought a female dependents to the house, and he brought back two women in a good manner, which will inevitably cause people to misunderstand, and the prince should go and explain to the princess." I'm kind enough to mention him.

Unexpectedly, he laughed at himself: "Explanation? She didn't bother with my explanation, and I'm afraid she wanted it to be. ”

I didn't expect him to say this, so I slowly pondered, "Why did the prince say that? I see that the princess is also gentle and considerate to the princess, and her affection is deep, does the princess have any misunderstanding about the princess? ”

"Affectionate?" Gao Changgong first sarcastic, and then said slowly, "I have no feelings with her, but the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. ”

I looked at Gao Changgong's expression, suddenly understood something, and said tentatively: "Does the prince mind that there is no affection between you, or does he mind that the princess has no affection for you?" ”

The smile on Gao Changgong's face couldn't hold back any longer, "Miss Wang, it's not early, I won't bother you, you can rest." ”

Looking at his elegant figure blending into the hurried night, and then thinking of today, is the gentle and elegant princess really as unintentional to him as he said?

Lanling Wangfu sits in the north and faces south, is a mansion with five courtyards, the door of the mansion is the front hall, the living room, the middle hall, the back hall and the dining room in turn. The courtyard of the palace is not as opulent as I saw it when I was in the Tomb Mansion, and the decoration here is more elegant. Flowers and trees are sparse, bamboo and cypress are intertwined, lakes and stones reflect each other, green vines on the waterfront are covered with stones, sparkling reflections, and the water color is light and light, which is more quiet and elegant.

The princess took me around the palace early in the morning to familiarize myself with the environment in the palace. Seeing her soft-spoken and concerned words, the only bit of mustard in my heart last night disappeared in her gentle words and laughter.

There was a courtyard where there was a martial arts training ground, and the princess said to me: "This is the place where the prince must come every day, and every day, the prince must practice martial arts here diligently, without stopping." ”

I looked at the various weapons on the weapon rack, swords, guns, spears, halberds, swords, clubs, and clubs, and for a moment I was itching, so I smiled at the princess and asked, "Princess, can you let me give it a try?" ”

The princess was stunned, as if she didn't expect me to make such a request, and then agreed, "Naturally." ”

I picked up a sword on the shelf, drew it out of its sheath, and slashed it into the air.

I haven't practiced swords for a long time, but this time, it can be described as enjoyable. He put down his sword and turned back, only to see that the princess's watery eyes were full of surprise, disbelief, and doubt.

"Where did you learn this sword move?" The princess stepped forward, with an eagerness in her eyes.

"I didn't expect someone to come earlier than me today." Gao Changgong's arrival interrupted the princess's questioning.

"You can also wield a sword, so it's not bad." Gao Changgong was surprised and had approval in his eyes.

The princess still clung to the question just now, and asked repeatedly, "Who taught you this swordsmanship?" ”

Seeing her eagerness, Gao Changgong was also a little strange, "Shu Yao, what's wrong with you?" ”

In an instant, my body stiffened, and looking at the princess's eager eyes, I reluctantly smiled: "Naturally, my master taught me." ”

The princess continued to ask: "Who is your master and where is it?" ”

I whispered, "My master, his old man, has passed away. ”

The princess was disappointed, apparently not getting the answer she wanted. Gao Changgong asked her, "Shu Yao, is Miss Wang's master related to you?" ”

The princess shook her head, "No, I made a mistake, I thought it was ......" The princess paused, and smiled at me with a little apology, "It's really that Miss Aqing's swordsmanship is too similar to one of my old friends, I thought you had something to do with him." ”

I unconsciously clenched the hilt of my sword and said, "I don't know who the princess's deceased is, but her swordsmanship is so similar to mine, maybe she is in the same faction as me." ”

The princess smiled lightly and denied, "My senior brother's swordsmanship is his originality, and it is impossible to be in the same faction as you." ”

The sword in his hand "bang" to the ground, Gao Changgong and the princess turned to me in unison, surprised. I suddenly felt that my body was slowly getting colder, and I could barely maintain a smile, "Just now I heard the prince call the princess Shuyao, so I listen to it tightly, but the princess's maiden name?" ”

The princess smiled: "Exactly." ”

My body seemed to be extremely cold, and I said in a trance: "Yao, the beauty of stone." What a good name. ”

I felt that all the strength in my body was draining, and before I could hold it anymore, I heard my own voice, "Lord, princess, I'm a little tired, so I'll retire first." ”

With all his strength, he struggled to walk out of the yard quickly, and the moment he stepped out of the yard, all the pretenses had fallen apart. I leaned against the wall, my body slowly sliding, tears streaming down my face, and I fainted on my dress.

It was her, it was her, it was her!

Shu Yao. This name pressed against my body like a big stone, and I couldn't move it, and it made my heart ache. Today the boulder turned into a mountain and pressed straight against me, almost crushing me and smashing me all over my body.

Swordsmanship, it turns out that the person he taught in this swordsmanship is not only me, but also Shu Yao. Shu Yao is the meat of his heart, the most important thing, what am I?

Mother, Master, my heart is so tired and painful. I miss you so much, where are you?

Mother, you're right. People, as expected, can't be emotional. As soon as you are emotional, it is an abyss, and you can't go back.

——

"Sister, you've been a lot haggard in the past two days, what happened?"

Looking at Ah Sleeve's bright and concerned eyes, I forced a smile to myself: "I'm not good, you, too much." ”

Ah Sleeve didn't believe it, and said: "Sister, don't hide it from me, although you have nothing to do on your face, I can see that you are not happy." Why is my sister unhappy? ”

My hand gently pulled Ah Sleeve in front of me, "Didn't you always want to get out of here, I thought about it, let's get out of here, the sooner the better." Today, you will go out and inquire about whether there is a rental house in Yecheng, and if you find a suitable one, you will rent it. ”

I haven't seen the princess since that day, and when she came to me, I pretended to be sick and avoided her, and I couldn't bear to see her again, every moment was torment. I can't stay in this place, because of the princess, Zheng Shuyao, I can't see her again. When I see her, my heart hurts.

Ah Sleeve was successfully diverted by me and asked, "What about my sister, why don't you go with me?" ”

"I'm going to do something else important."

"What's the matter?"

"Go to the ** temple and make incense to make a wish."

The wind outside the window was swaying, and occasionally a few bamboo leaves blew from nowhere, gently sweeping through the red window, and I looked up at the sky outside the window, with a firm expression.

The ancient temple is hidden in the green mountains, the cold color of the thousand mountains, and the bells are ten miles.

I knelt under the Buddha statue and prayed sincerely, "The believer has nothing to ask for, but to fulfill the wish of the master and his old man as soon as possible, and the Buddha will bless me." ”

Coming out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, thinking of the matter that mattered tightly, I decided to stay at the ** Temple tonight.

I donated a lot of money to express my desire to stay with the novice who picked up the guests. For the sake of my generous donation, Xiao Shami was very enthusiastic and arranged a room for me.

Xiao Shami kindly said to me: "Female donor, there is a lecture by Master Huiyuan in this temple today, if the donor is interested, you can go and listen to it." ”

My heart fluttered when my ears caught "Master Huiyuan", "Master Huiyuan?!" Hasn't he been traveling around the world to preach, how can he be in the ** temple? ”

Xiao Shami said: "Master Huiyuan just arrived in Yecheng two days ago, he has a profound Buddhism, high morality, many famous monks want to invite him to teach the scriptures, talk about the Dharma. Fortunately, our abbot had an old friend with him, so we were able to invite him to teach the Dharma at our monastery. ”

Xiao Shami suddenly patted his head and said, "The meeting is about to start, donor, I have to go!" ”

"Where is the lecture held?"

"It's in the lecture hall of the temple!"

As soon as the little novice finished speaking, he was anxious and ran away.

I walked briskly towards the lecture hall, but halfway through, I met Luo Ti.

"Miss Wang, where are you going in such a hurry?" Locky blocked my path with one hand.

I haven't forgotten how he teased me last time, and I didn't have a good face and said, "Don't do your business, go away!" ”

Luo Ti simply opened his hands to block me, and smiled maliciously: "I just don't leave, what can you do?" ”

"Then don't blame me for being unkind!" I clenched my fists, ready to hit someone.

Luo Ti looked like a scoundrel, "I want to see how you are polite, you don't have to be polite to me, and your arms are open for you at any time." ”

"Luo Ti!" A loud cheer exploded like thunder.

I don't know when Gao Changgong came with a calm face, his dark eyes were about to rain, and he stared at Luo Ti, "It seems that you didn't remember Lone's warning last time, and that today Lone will make you remember it for a long time!" ”

Luo Ti was timid and said, "Lord Wang, this is all a misunderstanding, I just want to make friends with Miss Wang, and I have no other intentions." ”

Gao Changgong ignored him, turned his head to me and said gently: "Miss Wang, if you have something to do, go first, leave it to me here." ”

I thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Wang. ”

After saying that, he ran to the lecture hall, and Luo Ti's wailing was faintly heard behind him......

When I arrived at the lecture hall, the hall was already full of people, in addition to the monks in the temple, there were also many believers and pilgrims who came to the temple, and the hall was surrounded by water. I could only stand at the door and look at Master Huiyuan in the center of the hall from afar.

Master Huiyuan's afterglow swept over me, but there was no change on his face, and he continued to lecture with a calm expression.

"Whatever there is a appearance, it is all false. If you see things that are not the same, you see them as they are...... The past is unattainable, the present is unattainable, and the future is unattainable...... What is a cloud for a person's speech, not taken from the appearance, such as not moving? Why? All things that have a way of doing things are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such (2). ”

Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity.

During the two-hour lecture, I just remembered this sentence.

Exegesis:

(1) The title comes from the contemporary Liang Yusheng's "Huanxi Sha", "Love and Hate Are Always Unbearable"

(2) From the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra
