The final verse of the Great Bodhi
In the twentieth year of Emperor Guangtong, the eighth day of the fourth month, Donglin Temple.
For Buddhism, the eighth day of April is the most important festival of the year: it is believed that this day is the birthday of the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, often known as the "Buddha Bathing Festival".
One reason is because in the destruction of "Zhu Hong", the head of the Buddhist sect has suffered heavy casualties, and almost every sect and temple is now busy with all kinds of excessive prayer and blessing rituals, and there is simply not enough energy to deal with these things, and the more important reason is that everyone believes that this year, here, some very important and big things will happen.
"On April 8th, you and I got married in the place of origin... Luckily? ”… Shi Futu's words made all the Buddhists remember it, so on this day, almost all the lower-level monks in the Donglin Temple disappeared, and they were replaced by the remaining elders and monks in each door, one by one looking through the autumn water, just waiting for the appearance of the protagonist.
Zhu Hong's "will not come first" is not surprising, but the Buddha Buddha did not appear, according to the Zen monks who stayed at the Lianyin Temple, he had disappeared from the cave three days ago, leaving no clues.
…
The sun is getting higher.
Rao is the monks are old and virtuous, but seeing that it is gradually towards noon, there is no movement in Donglin Temple, in the end, it is impossible not to gradually open suspicions, and in the end, someone finally has the courage to whisper: "This, are the two of them not planning to come to Donglin Temple at all?" ”
At this time, the eight sect elders have been exhausted, among the group of monks, Huayan Zong Huiyong is the oldest, as if he is the head of the group of monks, and it is also his first ceremony to wait in Donglin Temple, at this moment I heard a whisper of questioning, and I didn't feel that my face was slightly red - and I didn't know what to say, but I heard someone around me sigh softly, and he had already looked at the Dharma of the Pure Land Sect, and his expression was very calm, but he had no intention of ridiculing.
"Hui Yong, this is not surprising..."
The voice was low, as if there was endless emotion, and as if he had realized something, Fa Zhao lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and slowly opened his voice.
"Those two people are not what we can guess..."
…
In the twentieth year of Emperor Guangtong, on the eighth day of the fourth month, the top of Chezhou Mountain.
"The superfluous people, not even one of them came."
A person stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, letting the strong mountain wind stir up the monk's robe, squinting into the distance, Zhu Hong, who seemed to be quite freehand, suddenly said.
"Those people should be in Donglin Temple."
Fifteen steps behind him, Shi Futu clasped his hands together and agreed slowly.
"yes."
With a long drag in a voice with some laughter, Zhu Hong turned around while bending and stretching his arms.
"In the end, it's still the same as at the beginning, those who think they are smart can never understand you and me... But, knowing that this will be the case, why do you still stand with those people? ”
Shaking his head slightly, Shi Futu said, "I'm not with them. ”
Without waiting for Zhu Hong to ask again, he said again: "My experience... You should know? ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Hong's eyes, and he said, "Immeasurable solemnity, immeasurable Buddha land... Shi Futu, you're amazing. ”
He also said: "But if you have the fate to visit this Buddha land outside the world, why can't you still let Futu understand the true meaning of the Buddha?" ”
With a wry smile, Shi Futu said: "Dao Hong... Then tell me, what did you realize in that place? ”
Glancing at him, Zhu Hong said proudly: "Time is not waiting for me!" ”
"The sky is high and the earth is vast, the Buddha land is immeasurable, you and I are in, not even a drop in the ocean, if you don't cherish the time, bravely come in to spread the Dharma, sweep away foolishness, when can we make the eight million people bask in the Buddha's light?"
As if shocked by Zhu Hong's words, Shi Futu's body suddenly began to vibrate, coughed a few times, and said, "Dao... Ahem, Daohong, the differences between you and me are still like this. ”
Then he said slowly: "Returning from the Buddha Land outside the sky, I only have one thought." ”
"Manpower is sometimes poor."
"The heavens are immeasurable, the earth is immeasurable, and the Buddha's power is immeasurable, but since the Buddha's power can open up this immeasurable world and place immeasurable living beings, why can't it completely destroy the outer ways and directly lead sentient beings to goodness?"
Looking at Shi Futu, his expression gradually became serious, and Zhu Hong said: "What do you say? ”
Bowing with his palms together, Shi Futu said calmly: "It's not impossible, it's not for." ”
"If you don't do it, you can't bear it."
"The Buddha crosses sentient beings, only compassion, ignorance to change, obsession to teach, not to be wanton."
Looking at Shi Futu, the corners of Zhu Hong's mouth twitched, and finally sighed: "In the end, it's still back to the starting point, isn't it?" He turned away.
"Although we all have aspirations to rejuvenate the Buddha, we believe in a completely different approach, the difference between you and me... Hey, I'm afraid it's bigger than the difference between us and those guys, right? ”
Laughing lightly, Shi Futu only bowed down and did not answer.
Everything, suddenly, fell silent again, only the wind, which was smugly, entangled and whistling.
(Both guys, both of whom have gone astray, and what else do they say to enlighten people...) )
(The power of the Buddha is to open up the world, and the power of the Buddha does not punish the outside world...) If you can come up with such a far-fetched explanation, why are you unwilling to face the truth? There has never been a Buddha, a god, or a heaven in the world. Everything grows, naturally and grows... Isn't that much more reasonable? )
The one who sneered at the two of them in his heart was a big man who was nearly eight feet long, carrying a longbow behind him, and he was in a place where he could see the movements of the two of them clearly, but he didn't let the two of them find out that this cultivation alone was an incalculable strength.
After a long confrontation, Shi Futu finally said: "Zhu Hong... Is there really no room for everything today? The voice was low, full of regret.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Hong said: "No, it's long gone, since you and I first broke up here, it's gone." The voice is generally very low, and it also shows regret and gloom. But he perked up and said, "There are a few more things to tell you." ”
"One, it was during this month that I went to find the Ten Directions and the Hundred Paths, and each taught them something."
"If it is me who loses today, I guess the two of them will not be able to survive in the Buddha Sect after all, at that time, I hope you can take care of them."
Looking at the expressionless Shi Futu, Zhu Hong snorted, and said: "Second, the movement has been too great these days, and it has alarmed many people, do you know?" ”
Shi Futu was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know." ”
Zhu Hong heard him say this, and said he: "Look, others still think that I am a demon and a foreign way..." ”
Shi Futu's body was shocked, and he said, "King Wude, who protects the country? The voice was shocked. Zhu Hong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we didn't fight." ”
"But that's because he believes that you can get rid of me, the demon monk, but he also said that if you fail today, he and the Ao family's 'Nine Sons Dragon General' and five thousand dragon cavalry will officially intervene."
"And it's not just him, I've been feeling like someone is embellishing me lately, but I don't know who it is."
"Shan Chong can not let me find out, this person is not a master, it feels like he should be about the same as Ao Fuqi, he wants to subdue the demon, and he wants to wait until we are finished."
Seeing that there seemed to be anger on Shi Futu's face, Zhu Hong laughed and said: "Those are okay, the most important thing is the third one." ”
Looking at Shi Futu, a sneering smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Hong's face: "Three, what I want to say is that those things just now are actually not important. ”
"Because as long as I can win today, I will take care of them in all directions, Ao Fuqi... He couldn't help me. ”
"Three, Futu, if I'm not mistaken, although I am close to the Buddha land outside the sky, but... You still haven't been able to make a breakthrough, right? ”
Silent for a moment, Shi Futu clasped his hands together and said, "Exactly." ”
"Although I have never been stronger than I have at this moment, but in terms of strength alone, it is only the peak strength of the eighth level, and I have not been able to step into the ninth level realm like you."
Hearing the straightforward admission of the floating map, Zhu Hong seemed to be quite proud, raised his head and laughed, although the laughter was not loud, but it was very sharp, and the floating clouds above were so shaken that they could not gather.
In the midst of the laughter, the big man's face showed a slight look of disdain, and he muttered, "However, the ninth-level primary power is not yet able to be freely used... Are you so proud? ”
After laughing for a while, Zhu Hong stopped abruptly and said sharply: "So, the Buddha is always on my side!" ”
"If he approves of your choice, he will give you stronger strength, since he has given me the strongest power in the world, he has recognized me, and he wants me to spread the truth of the Buddha in my own way!"
In the harsh words, Zhu Hong suddenly pulled up like a big bird and pressed towards Shi Futu.
"Futu, it is true that you are the closest person to the truth among the Buddhists besides me... But the truth, even if it is a little far away, is no different from a complete fallacy. ”
"If you still can't recognize this truth, if you are still obsessed with it, if the Buddha doesn't give you stronger strength in the end, then you can pour it here for me!"
Dusk is approaching.
Since the noon battle, almost all the strange and wonderful techniques of Buddhism have been displayed, whether it is the Ten Mysterious Methods, the Six Pulse Wind Wheels, the Visualization Immeasurable, or the Eight Dragon Generals... All kinds of good looks are presented, which makes people dizzy.
But there is still no way to tell the winner.
Every move and every style can always only be exchanged for a sharper counterattack or a more concise decomposition, both of them are the same, and no one can gain an advantage in even a "moment".
The decisive battle of such a strong man must have been earth-shattering, just like the battle in front of the Lianyin Temple, which almost made it a devastation, and people couldn't bear to see it, but this is not the case at the moment, and even the ground under the feet of the two people did not leave any footprints.
Even, only a few steps away from the two of them, there was an ignorant hare, squatting on the ground and looking at the two of them, not avoiding them.
(Buddhist disciples, there are indeed some doorways, but among the monks in the world, I am afraid that there is no third person with this realm...) )
Ignoring the "strength" and "skills" of the two of them, the big man was only slightly moved by their "no destruction" of the surrounding environment.
"Okay, happy!"
Incarnated as a flying rainbow, he imagined that the twelve gods of the Medicine King Bodhisattva would attack the image of the Buddha map, but he used Indra to exhaust his body, and at the same time inspired the heavenly drum thunder sound Buddha power to shake the heart, Zhu Hong stood in front of his chest, cut off the thunder sound, but he was suffering from stepping into the void and had nowhere to borrow strength, and was shocked back a few steps.
Dozens of efforts were fruitless, but Zhu Hong was extremely happy, looking up and laughing wildly, without any displeasure. After laughing for a while, he said, "Futu... You're really nice. ”
"If you and I are of equal strength, this might turn into a thousand-day war?"
With his face as usual, Shi Futu said: "If... These two words are the most meaningless. ”
Nodding vigorously, Zhu Hong smiled fiercely: "Yes, if... If you did come to the foot of Qinglong Mountain, if they didn't chase me to Chezhou Mountain... But isn't it just an 'if'? ”
With a sad face, Shi Futu said: "Yes." ”
And he said, "The sun is about to set, there should be an end, right?" ”
"Hey..."
With a long exhalation, Zhu Hong glanced at the western sky: seeing that the red sun was indeed half covered by the earth, only a few remnants of the remnants tried to shoot the chaotic clouds of the day as if they were stained with blood. Then he said, "It's over." ”
But he still didn't make a move, looked at Shi Futu and said: "Futu... Let me ask you one last time, have you ever been 'enlightened'? ”
Su Yan bowed down, and Shi Futu said: "Dao Hong." ”
With a long roar, his face was very angry, and he sighed, "What a pity." ”
"In the end, am I still doomed to be lonely?"
After a pause, Zhu Hong said again: "That's not... That's it. ”
"From now on, I will use the 'ninth power', something that can completely destroy the balance between you and me, and if, if the Buddha still doesn't care about you, he doesn't give you a miracle... Futu, let's see you in the next reincarnation! ”
Once the determination is made, there will be no more mother-in-law, Zhu Hong's voice has not fallen, his left hand has been raised, waving out a cold palm shadow, printed on the chest of the Fu Tu, although there is almost no change, but when the Fu Tu and the palm is blocked, there is a huge vibration, and the Shi Fu Tu is like a lost leaf to retreat more than ten steps, and at the same time pay the price of the sleeves of the robe of both arms, and the face is also pale, so ugly.
The blow had established an advantage, but Zhu Hong did not continue to attack, but slowly approached with his hands behind his back.
"No matter how long you and I have been together before, when I use this power seriously... Futu, you can't stand in front of me equally. If I use this power to the fullest, I am now more confident that I can kill you here in twenty moves... Tell me, Futu, is this really what you want? ”
After coughing heavily, Shi Futu clasped his hands together and said, "This body is just a stinky skin... How to cherish it? If you can make Daohong come to your senses, I will never hold grudges. ”
Hearing such an answer, Zhu Hong's face flashed with blue anger, and the ferocity reappeared.
"Sober?"
"I'll tell you, I'm more sober than ever."
"After being deceived by those evil Buddhas for so many years, I was finally able to comprehend the truth of the Buddha, and I now feel that I have never been more awake and happy, and it is precisely for this reason that I have been trying to awaken you and let you understand the truth that I have understood..."
"But, Futu, my patience with you will never be higher than my attachment to the truth of the Buddha!"
"The words have been spoken, Futu, I can't let you go wrong anymore, the truth of the Buddha is waiting for me to spread, for you, I have wasted too much time, during this time, there are too many people who could have received the Buddha's righteousness from me, and there are too many places that could have bathed in the glory of the Buddha."
"So, Futu... Let's see you in the next reincarnation! ”
In the midst of the shouting, the image of a golden-bodied god appeared around Zhu Hong, with three heads and eight arms, holding a bell bottle and a pestle and all kinds of magic weapons, with a fierce momentum, smashing down towards the Shifu map!
Knowing that this was the last moment, Shi Futu mustered up his courage and wanted to make a final counterattack, but he was suppressed by the strong wind, and his arms were bent in front of his chest like this, and he couldn't even stretch out the block!
(Buddha, is that really what you mean?) Do you think that it is more true for you to kill all foolishness, who is wise? )
Knowing that the end was near, Shakfutu's heart was empty, and he quietly bowed his head and made what could be the last prayer to the Lord he believed.
At this time, all the efforts of the human body have been useless, and those who can hope for it, as Zhu Hong said, can only have "miracles".
But, "miracle", this thing, will he really appear?
The answer is, yes!
When even the heavens and the earth seemed to disappear, when Shi Futu gave up all resistance, a deep voice suddenly appeared in his heart!
(Don't give up, concentrate on bombarding his chest!) )
(Huh?!) )
Suddenly, Shi Futu woke up like a big dream, and suddenly found that the attack like a god of death was imminent!
(Did the Buddha manifest his spirit?) Still is... )
Suspicious, but he couldn't just give up, condensed all the remaining energy, Shi Futu roared angrily, clasped his hands together, and didn't care that the place in front of him was the most prosperous place for Zhu Hong's offensive, and no matter that Zhou didn't have the slightest defense, he tried his best to kill!
At that moment, the wind did not roar, and the clouds did not flow!
It's all silent!
"Hey... Very good. ”
Speaking in a calm and relieved voice, Zhu Hong's hands were actually back behind his back, standing as straight as a mountain, and in front of him was the Shi Futu with a bow body, and his hands were clasped together like knives. The stab was in his chest.
"Perhaps, the Buddha really cares more about you."
With a tired smile, Zhu Hong lowered his head and looked at his chest. On it, cracks like spider webs appeared, slowly spreading around.
"In the end, you still haven't made a breakthrough, and in the end, your strength has even weakened... However, with less than the strength of the upper eighth level, you can hit me in the chest, the only place that can kill me. ”
"This, even I only realized how terrible it was after being hit by you..."
In the midst of the muttering, the sound of shattering suddenly increased, and a huge sword wheel composed of eight-colored sword flowers burst out of Zhu Hong's chest, although it was immediately destroyed by the clasped palms together, but his body had been seriously damaged.
There was a bloodless and boneless hole in his chest, not to mention that it was not slowly rotating and expanding, and the tiny white fragments couldn't help but float out with the expansion of this hollow, and every time something floated out, Zhu Hong's face became even paler.
It's like, although a white lotus is stained with blood, it still only shines flawlessly.
"It's been so long, and I haven't noticed it at all, Tantric thaumaturgy, there are really some doorways..."
At the beginning of the battle of Lianyin Temple, if you burn your life, in exchange for the strongest blow to Zhu Hong, but, after pushing the sword wheel, he found that his life could not support to knock Zhu Hong down, although it can still seriously injure him, but it is impossible to be fatal, and in that kind of situation where no one else can use this injury, such an injury is meaningless, helpless, he decided to compress the damage of this blow, so that it will not explode into Zhu Hong's body, in his heart, Zhu Hong's behavior is so extreme, Sooner or later, it will also lead to the intervention of other strong people, and at that time, even if Zhu Hong has the "strongest" capital of the ninth level of strength, he will be able to prevent this damage from happening.
Originally, with Zhu Hong's ability, Na Ruo's means may not be able to hide from him, but the world is unpredictable: Yu is free to go and return, and because of Na Ruo's tragic death, he made up his mind to use this forbidden move that only he and Na Ruo know in the entire Tantra, and also bombarded Zhu Hong's chest, although because of the lack of strength, this could not knock Zhu Hong down, but it formed a cover, so that Zhu Hong took Na Ruo's hidden hand as the effect of this blow when he looked at his own injuries and lost his vigilance, leaving this internal trouble. When he met a bystander, he saw that there was a secret wound on Zhu Hong's chest, suggesting that Shi Futu was attacking him, and all kinds of seemingly impossible coincidences fit in one place, so that Zhu Hong's success and failure were achieved at this moment.
Although everything is personnel, how can it be said that there is no "providence" on the vast "personnel"?!
"In the end, in the end, it's still like this, the Buddha chose you, and Providence chose you, but..."
The entire waist has completely disappeared with the expansion of the hollow, and Zhu Hong still maintains a straight posture, muttering, but it seems that he has thought of something all of a sudden, and his spirit is suddenly lifted!
Like a ghost, he swirled his hands and clasped his shoulders before he could react, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"At least, I can't just die..."
Correspondingly, there was a fierce reaction from Shi Futu.
"Daohong, you!"
"How am I?"
The smile became more and more weird, and Zhu Hong said he: "I can do it, and I am willing to do it... You, what can you do to me?! ”
As he spoke, his hands tightened, as if he was forcibly instilling something into Shi Futu's body, he saw his body gradually bulging.
"If I knew what the ninth level of power was, I would definitely tell you now, but unfortunately I can't, Futu."
"But I can at least leave you something, leave you something that you might be able to use."
"Accept all my strength, and become a 'ninth-level' powerhouse just like me, and I'm sure you can use it very well."
"And I believe that sooner or later the Buddha will reveal the secret of his power to you, and sooner or later you will master all the secrets on your own, but before that, you will temporarily use my power to unify the Buddha and magnify the Buddha's name according to your wishes!"
As he spoke, it seemed that he had reached his limit, and Zhu Hong's arms began to shatter into that kind of miserable white fragments, and began to gradually disappear, and the Shi Futu on the opposite side looked the same: the bulging body was thin again, but his spirit was much better, and he became full of energy.
This is long and the other is gone, and Zhu Hong has his head and shoulders left at this moment, floating in the air, but he seems to be slightly unconcerned.
"Futu, the Buddha still chose in the end..."
Speaking of one, the voice stopped suddenly, Shi Futu shot out like lightning, and actually grabbed Zhu Hong's head in his hand, as if he had made some determination, his hands exerted force at the same time, and a shallow white light immediately flashed around the head!
"Futu, you!"
With a deep understanding of the various sects of Buddhism, Zhu Hong suddenly understood what Shi Futu was doing, and he seemed to be extremely angry!
"You actually use the Eternal Life Void Seal like this, you have never practiced the Tantric Dharma Seal at all... Are you crazy! ”
The truth is that the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind are refined and kneaded through their own bodies, creating "life" in the "void", which is considered to be the strongest recovery spell in Buddhism, known as "as long as you are not dead, you will definitely be able to recover", but the price is that the user loses forty percent of his own strength within a year, And it's never going to be used again. And for those who have not attained the attainment of cultivation, by doing this seal is tantamount to compensating for the lives of others with their own lives.
Hearing Zhu Hong's angry cry, Shi Futu actually had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Daohong, I have always believed that the most important thing for people is fairness."
In the smile, a miracle appeared: Zhu Hong's body was able to begin to be reborn, the dry fragments were attracted back to his body and bulged, and he became the chest and abdomen and limbs again, while Shi Futu's body began to dry up.
"But, it's useless for you to do this!"
"I'll just stick to my truth! Even if you save me back, I won't change anything, and in the end, you'll still have to duel me again... You're just wasting it in vain, you understand?! The last sentence was almost scolding, and his voice was so loud that he was really angry.
In comparison, the performance of the Shifu map is simply like an ancient well without waves.
"I'm not doing it for you."
His face was calm, and his movements remained unchanged.
"Actually, you're right about me, I'm just a coward, someone who never has the guts to make important decisions."
I was confused, and I didn't have the courage to put an end to the dispute between you and me, so I turned that question back to the Buddha. ‘
If it is said that the Buddha gave me the strength to stop you because he was unhappy with your slaughter, then, at least, he has not given me the determination to put an end to you. ”
"But, I won't let you leave like this again, I can only give you back your life, but I can't give you back your strength."
"So, from now on, you are no longer a Daohong, nor is it a Zhuhong."
"Futu!"
There is no need to say any more, Zhu Hong already senses that something is about to happen, and this prospect makes him even more furious!
"You can kill me or save me, but you can't change me, let alone insult me!"
Hearing such intenseness, a wry smile appeared on Shi Futu's face again.
"Insult, if you think this is it, then I have to insist on giving you an 'insult'."
"I will change your appearance, and I will also change your memory, and when you wake up again, you will be Hongdao, an ordinary Pure Land monk."
"Make a big wish, you hope to build 480 Buddha lands in the world, and in this process, you will get my support."
"Of course it won't be now, I think three years should be an appropriate time, after three years, you can reappear in the world and use your incomparably strong will and determination to promote the glory of the Buddha again."
"Daohong..."
I believe that the cause and effect between you and me will not end like this. ‘
"As a Taoist, you have unparalleled Dharma cultivation and ninth-level power, but as a Hongdao, I can't give you anything, you can only be an ordinary and resolute monk, traveling all over the world to preach the Buddha's teachings."
"But I believe that one day, you will find your 'power', which is worthy of your power, and at the same time, you will be able to break my seal and find your 'identity', 'memory' and 'ideal' together."
Then you will come back, Dao Hong, or Zhu Hong. ‘
'I need you to solve my doubts, I need you to reveal the ultimate truth of the Three Dharma Seals for me, I need you...'
‘… Crossing me to become a Buddha. ‘
Emperor Guangtong 20 years of April on the eighth day of the first month, the Buddha Tu Zhu Hong about the chariot Zhou Shan Peak, after the hard battle, the Buddha Tu finally finished the work, will Zhu Hong bombarded to the powder is gone, since then, he was the world Buddhism in the name of "Buddha", become the world Buddhism co-master, to a certain extent, the original Daohong and Zhu Hong have made great efforts to "unify the Buddha" ideal, has been realized in his hands.
In the same year, the disciples of the Pure Land Sect Shifang took the poison knife to see Shi Futu, and wanted to assassinate him, although he did not regret the defeat, and scolded him in the face, but in the end he was pardoned by Shi Futu, and he ordered the Buddhism of the world not to be harmed, after that, Shifang broke out of the door, restored his real name and said Shou Shifang, and began to roam the rivers and lakes, quite famous, after four years, Liu Zongliang, the master of the Liu family, was included in the door, and led the Liu family's "dark soldiers", listed as "Song of the Great Wind".
Three years later, the Pure Land Sect's disciple Baidao to "the dust is not exhausted" to go, relapse from the vulgar, return to his real name "Hebo Dao", two years after wandering the rivers and lakes, met Cao Ye, was accepted as a righteous son, Yi surname included in the "Jiuquer Cao", the eighth, because of its origin in the Pure Land, and the white lotus front, so called "White Lotus Pure Land Eight Bo Dao".
At this time, the Pure Land monk named "Hongdao" had appeared on the rivers and lakes for more than two years, and he was born in the remote land in the west of the hall. Because of a chance encounter with Shi Futu, he became famous all over the world, and since then he has received the full support of Buddhism, and began to travel all over the world, striving to spread the teachings of the Pure Land religion.
At this time, Buddhism has been reorganized: Tiantai Dharma and the Three Treatises and Laws have been injured too much, and have since disappeared without a trace.
Everything is calm.
But no one knows that on Lingtai Mountain, in the Lianyin Temple, Shi Futu sits in meditation, and no one is allowed to enter the meditation room, there is no Buddha incense burner, only a futon, a basin of water.
In the water, there was a fragrant white lotus stained with blood, which had withered.
Every day, Shi Futu would silently sit in meditation against this white lotus, and every day, the same words would linger in his heart.
(Someday, I believe that this white lotus will bloom again, and then, Daohong, or Zhuhong, you should appear, and bring me the answer to everything?) )
… The prequel to the Taiping Chronicle, the White Lotus chapter, the knot.
