Chapter 6: I Am Not a Demon
Yan Zenyi couldn't say that she didn't understand a word, but she was also convinced that Su Ruoshui was the man who had waited for her for the third life as Master Shi'an said.
But he is so good, how could she not give him a result in three lifetimes?
Thinking about this life, always slapping the table with him for the title, or being pressed by him in front of the table and working overtime, she seems to understand why there has been no result between them.
She has always regarded him as a master and a friend in her heart, but she has never thought of having anything to do with him.
From the day she met Su Ruoshui, she knew that this man was a bright moon. Whether it is looks or net worth, she can't climb the existence, so she is willing to be an inconspicuous little star next to him.
But what does it mean to go back? Are those three lives the previous life, this life and the next? What she has just been to is her previous life, or the next life? What is the position that does not belong to you?
Did he make it clear, or did he come to create a mystery?
Yan Zenyi only felt that one head was two big, and everything now made her feel incredible, and she began to wonder if all this was just her dream.
After all, it sounds like a funny and unrealistic dream for the domineering boss of Kyaukyue to fall in love with her.
She still wanted to hear some clues from the man's mouth, but she was just a ghost now, and she couldn't ask questions at all, so she could only stand beside the man in a hurry.
Looking at the sad expression on Su Ruoshui's face, as well as the gentle and delicate eyes, Yan Zenyi was a little dazzled. Su Ruoshui is already extremely demonic, and making such a melancholy and affectionate appearance is even more exciting.
She wanted to comfort him, but when she stretched out her hand, it only penetrated through Su Ruoshui's body, so she could only give up.
Su Ruoshui didn't speak again, but still looked at Yan Zenyi on the hospital bed quietly with her gentle and doting eyes.
Yan Zenyi curled up and sat at Su Ruoshui's feet, and fell asleep unconsciously.
This was the first time she had fallen asleep since she was a soul. She thought that if she didn't have a body, she wouldn't be tired, and she wouldn't need to sleep. didn't expect her to curl up at Su Ruoshui's feet and fall asleep.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she woke up, Su Ruoshui was no longer in the ward.
The ward was empty, only her shell, still lying as if nothing had happened. Even the chair he had sat on was put back in its place, and the whole room was clean and tidy, as if no one had ever been there.
………………………………
In the Fengyu Temple, only the purple pupils were small and there was no dust, and they looked at the position where Yan Zenyi was standing in surprise, dumbfounded.
The disappearance of Yan Chanyi just now was obviously not voluntary, she had a painful look on her face, and his heart hurt inexplicably, but before he could see it clearly, Yan Zenyi disappeared without even leaving an afterimage.
"Master......" Weichen came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Shi An in his tone that he couldn't hide his frustration, "She...... She's gone......"
The reason for the loss is that everyone who sees his purple eyes has a frightened face, and may even pick up a stone and shout that the devil throws it at him. That's why he always has strange looks when he walks down the street.
But Yan Zenyi didn't, she even showed a stunning expression, as if his terrifying purple eyes were a beautiful existence.
This made him feel inexplicably down-to-earth and heartbeat.
A few days ago, when he was invited out of the Huguo Temple by the imperial forest army sent by the emperor, it attracted many onlookers and even protests from good men and women.
And in the middle of that pushing, his blindfold was accidentally knocked to the ground.
When the first person cries out "Devil! Monster! After that, a succession of ordinary people saw his purple eyes, and then the surrounding crowd fled in all directions as if they had exploded.
Even the Imperial Guards, who originally seemed to be brave and good at fighting, shy away from him, and everyone looked at him with fear and repulsion in their eyes.
He didn't say it, but his heart was actually very uncomfortable.
Grandma Li, who used to come to Shangxiang often, would bring him and the third senior brother a delicious apple every time she came, but when she saw him that day, she also had an unconcealable fear on her face.
He knew that his purple eyes made him different from ordinary people. However, is it different from demons and monsters?
Originally, those good men and women who did not agree to change the Huguo Temple into the Xuanqing Palace all scattered and fled because of him. There are even ignorant people shouting loudly in the crowd, no wonder the emperor wants to abandon the Buddha, it turns out that the monks in our Huguo Temple are all evil ghosts.
Wei Youchen wanted to refute it very much, he wanted to tell those people out loud that he was not an evil ghost, and his master and brother were not evil ghosts.
He could feel his chest fill with unfamiliar emotions, and he could barely control himself.
His left eye felt like it was burning, and he wanted to cry because of the pain, but it dried up because of the burning heat. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He suspected that he was really a demon, or that there was a demon living inside him, and now the demon was about to get out of control and burn his soul out.
Shi An noticed that the purple pupils were glowing faintly red, and he knew that his little apprentice was also trying to restrain himself, but maybe it wasn't strong enough to make the pupils red.
Shi An carefully pulled Wei Youchen, who was standing in front of him and was being targeted by everyone, into his arms, patted his head soothingly, and whispered, "If you don't forgive sentient beings, if you don't forgive sentient beings, you won't let yourself go." ”
Wei Youchen didn't understand, but being held in the arms of the master did soothe his restless heart. He wanted to argue, but he was just afraid. He buried his head in Master's arms, and tears finally fell from the corners of his eyes.
At the moment when he was called a monster, he could feel the anger in his heart, and he even thought that if you say that I am an evil ghost, I will show you the evil ghost.
"Master, have I broken my vows?" After Weichen calmed down, he still shrank quietly in Shi An's arms like a child looking for milk to drink.
It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that he mustered up the courage to ask the master this question.
"Chen'er, relying on deliberate suppression to maintain the precepts in your heart is an obsession, not enlightenment." Shi An pinched the soft flesh on Wei Youchen's cheeks, and said with a smile, "We are human beings first, and then we are Buddhist cultivators." It is natural to have seven emotions and six desires. Just follow your heart and do what you have to do. ”
Wei Weichen nodded as if he didn't understand, thinking of the situation just now, he was inexplicably a little afraid. What would Master have done if he hadn't hugged him at that time? He didn't dare to think about it. He was afraid of the anger that flashed in his heart at that time.
At this time, Wei Youchen's thoughts turned a thousand times, but they were all seen by Shi An.
A person's fate is predetermined, and the only choice you can make is to either enjoy it well, or rise up and resist, and resist until you accept your fate.
"She just went where she was supposed to be." Shi An looked at the lost expression on the little apprentice's face, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, "She will come again...... It's only a few days away for her, but for you, it's a long time later. ”
Weichen bowed his head and was silent. He knew she would come back, he just didn't want her to come and go.
Master said that he would have to leave the Zhou Kingdom sooner or later, and he didn't think there was anything in the first place. He knew that he was the crown prince of Wei, a prince of another country, and he was not a proton, and it was already inconceivable that he could grow up in another country.
If there are no accidents, sooner or later he will have to return to his country and take over the supreme position.
He grew up a lot and knew what a prince was.
He was not interested in that supreme position per se, but after he and his master and brothers were driven out of the Huguo Temple like a lost dog by the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, there were some subtle changes in his heart.
He had never had the idea of protecting anyone before, but this time, he found that he felt very sorry for his masters and brothers, and he really wanted to protect the Huguo Temple where he had lived since he was a child, but he also found that he was powerless.
He couldn't even face it indifferently.
He knew that power was a good thing, and his heart also developed a desire to have the power to do anything. He's ambivalent. He didn't think much about becoming a Buddha, but he was also afraid that one day he would actually become a demon.
Originally, it was in Huguo Temple, but it was only cultivated. Now that I have been sent to this Fengyu Temple, I have been there as if I have done penance.
The heyday of incense in the past is no more, and the master and apprentice in the temple are working together to live, like no dust, they copy books in the study to exchange for some copper plates.
And Shi An directly held the dervishes to turn the fate.
The elder brother Xuchen was good at martial arts, so he went to the barren mountain behind the Fengyu Temple to cut wood. The second senior brother Kongchen is good at communicating with people, and he is responsible for receiving nobles in Huguo Temple on weekdays, and now there will be nobles, so he will take the excess firewood cut by the senior brother to the market for some food or silver.
And the third senior brother is dustless, he is a little chubby dun who can't do anything, so he can only stay in the temple to clean and wipe the Buddha statue or something.
………………………………
Three months later, the emperor of Zhou received a red letter from the emperor of Wei.
Correspondence between emperors was usually done on bright yellow scrolls to greet each other and to be friendly and friendly. And the red national letter has a bit of a declaration of war in it.
Wei was a militarily strong country, and its territory was much larger than that of Zhou. And this Emperor Wei is also a good hand at galloping on the battlefield, and he also loves to expand his territory in the south and the north.
Wei also wanted to annex this Zhou State, so it launched several attacks, large and small, if it weren't for the existence of the god of war "Lord Hades", I'm afraid that Zhou State would have become Wei State's bag.
It's just that for some reason, in the last eight or nine years, the Wei State has suddenly died down.
It was not considered that the banner had died down, and the Wei State no longer attacked the Zhou State, but instead reversed course and had been harassing the border between the Chang State and the Yue State. Chang and Yue also had letters sent to Zhou to ask for alliances and rescue.
But the current Emperor of Zhou is a soft persimmon, thinking about the situation that his country was not good for Wei in the hands of the State a few years ago, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and can't see it.
