Chapter Twenty-Six: Memories
Thirty years ago...
A teenager went north alone and embarked on the road of study with the hope and entrustment of the whole family.
When he was young, a feng shui master once divined a hexagram for him. He said that his fortune was in the south and not in the north.
For the first time, it was thousands of miles away from home, and it took more than 30 hours just to take the train.
The boy saw the sea for the first time, and for the first time saw the vast and boundless plains. He didn't know if he belonged to him, but everything in front of him was so open, refreshing the first time for him again and again.
At that time, he was still so pure and pure, and he was not stained by the slightest bit of bad habits.
Lying on a piece of pure sand for the first time can empty yourself to the fullest and leave all your worries and happiness behind.
Troubles and happiness are not good things, they occupy the heart, making people happy and sad.
The wind warmed him and made him feel that the whole world was very unreal, just because he had never experienced it like this.
The sun is gentle, the wind is swaying, the youth does not know dreams, laughter, sadness and loneliness, accompanied by the sunset.
What is time? It's just something that people who are afraid of old people imagine in order to retain their youth.
Day after day, walking through the beach. The wind also drifted over the sea day after day.
Someone comes, someone goes.
Came and gone, walked and came.
I heard that there is a temple not far from here, called "Shuiyan Temple", and the Shijie Mountain is there.
The boy, bored for a day, was so bored that he set foot on the road to Shijie Mountain alone.
I don't feel that time is in a trance, as if in a dream, I met an old monk again.
The young man was never superstitious, and when he saw the old monk, he just politely avoided it.
The old monk said: "The young man is going... I don't know what to do! ”
The young man smiled: "The world is so big, where am I going to be where you are doing!" ”
Youth is very good, at ease, there should be no restraint, but there is always unhappiness in the heart of the teenager.
Annoyed when happy, happy when worried, worried when happy, happy when worried. This is the case with the so-called mixed tastes.
The young man said: "You monk, it's interesting. ”
The old monk said: "Ahead is the Shijie Mountain, I wonder if the young man wants to go to the Shijie Mountain?" ”
The young man said: "What if you go, what if you don't go!" ”
The old monk no longer spoke, but stretched out his hand, handed a gourd to the young man, and said, "Go... Go! ”
The young man took the gourd and left, walked a few steps, turned back and wanted to see the old monk but could not find it again.
So he continued to walk forward, and unconsciously arrived at the top of Shijie Mountain, which was a mess and did not grow an inch of grass.
There is only one dilapidated temple standing there, which has long been dilapidated because of disrepair.
So when he saw the sadness of the scene, he couldn't help but shed tears. Outside the ruined temple stood a stone stele, and the words engraved on the stone tablet were mottled and difficult to identify.
The young man couldn't help but sigh, and when he sighed, a strange wind blew, coming towards him, and he was faintly immersed.
The old monk suddenly appeared again and said, "Child, what do you see?" ”
The boy said, "Desolate! ”
The old monk said: "You are a descendant of the Yun family, have you ever thought of glorifying the Yun family and reviving the past glory of the Yun family?" ”
The young man said, "Who are you and why do you know so much about me!" ”
The old monk said: "Because I am a gourd immortal..."
The young man smiled: "So, you have great powers? ”
The old monk said: "You can say so! ”
The young man said: "I don't want to quarrel with you, there are too many charlatans like you, I advise you to die of this heart!" ”
The old monk said, "I'll make you believe it!" ”
The boy said, "Even if you know everything, why should I believe you!" ”
Worries about the future, uncertainty about the future, and a bad life with gains and losses. The life of a teenager is indeed terrible.
The old monk said: "Your fate is so bumpy, it can be said that your life is terrible, and if nothing else, you will become the bottom of the society that is difficult to turn over!" ”
The young man said, "It turns out that the distinction of the monks is so important! ”
The old monk said: "How many people can really say it and do it!" What about monks! ”
"What do you want?"
The old monk said: "It's best not to do everything yourself, so that you can empathize!" ”
Love and hate, wind and snow, everything needs to be experienced by yourself. Parting in the world sometimes comes very suddenly.
Just like stories, not all stories have endings, not all stories have beginnings, and some are accidents.
When a story ends, a story begins again, but not in the same way and not in the way you envisioned it.
The boy said, "Has this story begun?" ”
The old monk smiled: "No, no, no... The story never began and never ended. ”
"Each of us is in the story! How do you know if a story has started or ended? ”
The boy said, "I really don't understand what you're talking about!" ”
The old monk said: "Keep this gourd well, one day you will come in handy!" ”
After that, the old monk disappeared. The boy searched everywhere, but was nowhere to be found. In a panic, he walked into a fog of mystery.
Suddenly, I saw the word "Taixuan" written in front of me, and I couldn't help but wonder, but I didn't know what the word "Taixuan" meant.
When I stepped forward and looked closely, I saw that it was a palace. Sitting in the middle of the palace was not a man, but a sculpture.
When the young man looked at the sculpture and was puzzled, the sculpture suddenly moved, walked down from the lobby, looked at the young man and said: "I am the hall master of this Taixuan Palace, why don't you worship me when you see me!" ”
The young man was frightened, and suddenly remembered that the gourd immortal said that the gourd could be used at a critical moment. Then he took out the gourd and faced the moving sculpture.
When the sculpture saw the gourd, it knelt down respectfully and bowed: "It turned out to be a descendant of the Yun family!" It was rude just now! ”
After three bows, the moving sculpture returned to the center of the hall, motionless, and the young man suddenly felt that everything just now was like a dream.
I went around the Taixuan Hall to the apse, but I saw a large incense burner, which was "fluttering" and bubbling with flames. Many shadows jumped into the great incense burner, and one by one they turned into ashes.
The boy hurried away and went to the back. After walking dozens of steps, he saw a huge stone turtle again, so he stepped forward with his feet and stepped on it.
The stone turtle was several feet long, carved from a huge stone, and lay in a large pool.
When the boy wanted to take a closer look at the stone turtle's appearance, the stone turtle actually began to move, swing twice, and burrow into the water.
The boy was so frightened that the soles of his feet slipped and fell into the pool.
The water submerged the boy's body, and after a few struggles, the boy was not breathing, leaving only a gourd floating above the surface of the pool.
...
The rain was still falling, and the rain kept beating the boy, so that the boy's eyes could not be opened.
The young man slowly came back to his senses, wiped his face with his hand, and said, "Mei Gongzi... Don't come unharmed! ”
"I'll kill Zhao Kuangyin right now!"
