Chapter 221: The Awakened Monk of Shingon
The rain falls into butterflies, and the wind passes without flowers. Memory is a desolate tomb, colorful flowers bloom under the towering tree, and the traveling monks exchange their flesh and blood for the perception of the memory in the tomb. At some point, they finally quieted down, did not make any noise, and quietly enjoyed the dignity they were given in the Pure Land of Bliss.
Lin Yu looked at the monk in front of him and judged from his aura that he should be the presiding officer of this temple. When Lin Yu finished saying that he had seen him, the host did not show any surprise, but just smiled slightly. The host waved his sleeves, and suddenly the monk who had brought Lin Yu and greeted Lin Yu disappeared, and then turned into a leaf and fell into the host's hand. Lin Yu said in surprise.
"This?"
The host smiled and said.
"Don't panic, it's a bridge connecting you and me, and now it's completed its mission, so it's back to its original appearance. Just like your father. ”
Lin Yu was taken aback and asked.
"You know my father?"
As soon as the words fell, the host took out a wooden figure from his arms and handed it to Lin Yu, Lin Yu looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the carved appearance of this wooden figure was his father, and he said dumbfounded.
"This, this is my father?"
The host smiled and said.
"He's just fulfilling his responsibilities as a father, and he's not anyone's belonging. When his mission is over, that is, when he returns to nature, it will be like the leaf just now. ”
"So my father was also made by you from wood carvings?"
The host shook his head and said.
"He volunteered to be your father, and it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Yu was a little impatient and said.
"I don't understand everything you say, I'm just here to know about Shingon Sangha, about me. If you can't answer either of these things, then I'll take my leave. ”
With that, Lin walked out in a huff, and when he reached the door, the door suddenly closed automatically. Lin Yu turned around and said.
"What are you doing here?"
The host said with a smile.
"As I said, everything is God's arrangement, and it has nothing to do with me. If you are not allowed to leave here at this time, this may be a sign from God. One should always honor the omen so that you can get closer and closer to your goal. ”
Lin Yu went to pull the door with a little anger, no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain. Lin Yu sighed and said.
"Well, I'll do what the omen does. Then tell me how the hell am I going to know what I want to know. ”
The host invited Lin Yu to sit on the futon opposite him, and Lin sat down angrily. He asked, looking at the host smiling at him.
"What are you laughing at? Am I ridiculous looking like this? ”
"It comes from the heart. At this time, my heart is peaceful, there are no waves, why don't I laugh? ”
After that, the host pointed to the dervishes used to turn the fate next to him. Lin Yuhu looked at the host suspiciously, then looked at the dervishes, and the host asked.
"What do you see?"
Lin Yu looked at it and said.
"Nothing, and a little rancid."
"If you look closely, the answer you want is inside."
As soon as the words fell, the host suddenly disappeared. Lin Yu hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Hey, old monk, where have you been? Come out and don't play tricks. ”
At this time, the ethereal voice of the host sounded in the lobby.
"Until you see what's in the dervish, we'll see you again."
After that, the originally dim temple hall suddenly lit up with a candlelight, and the entire hall was illuminated as if it were day. Lin Yu picked up the dervishes and looked at it carefully, but still didn't see any fame. Time passes minute by minute, from moonset to sunrise, and from sunrise to moonset. After a few days of cycles, Lin Yu's chin was covered with stubble, his eyes were also full of red bloodshots, the dervishes in his hands were still the same, the candlelight in the room was still the same, and time seemed to stand still in this room.
"I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see anything."
With that, Lin Yu threw the dervish into the corner, and then the whole person rushed to the door and shook it vigorously. Shaking for a long time, the door did not move at all, and his body was covered with dust. Lin Yu slowly slid down against the gate, and finally knelt down in front of the gate and muttered to himself.
"Why is that, why? Why should I come here? ”
At this time, Lin Yu fell into deep self-doubt, and he gasped for breath. After about a few dozen minutes, he let out a long breath, then slowly got up and walked over to the dervishes in the corner. Lin Yu knelt in front of the Buddha statue with the dervish in his arms, the Buddha statue was full of kindness but gave people an endless sense of alienation.
"What exactly are you? What do you want me to understand? You speak, why don't you speak? Can you be a Buddha and be on top? Is it possible to despise sentient beings at all costs? ”
Lin Yu spoke at the statue of the Buddha, but he didn't feel a trace of happiness in his heart. Suddenly, Lin Yu threw the dervish towards the Buddha statue, but the dervish that bounced back hit his head impartially, and blood remained on his forehead. Lin Yu covered his head, and he gasped in pain.
"You are a hypocrite. I'll vent, and you will take revenge on me immediately. Saying that there is compassion is all a lie. ”
Lin Yu suddenly felt that something was hitting the back of his knee, and then the whole person knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and the moment he looked down, he happened to see the dervishes on the ground. What made him even more strange was that the dervishes, which had been empty, was now filled with water. In the water, he saw himself who was sometimes hideous, sometimes stunned, Lin Yu got up again and shouted at the Buddha statue.
"Is that what you asked me to see? I'm a thousand, ten thousand times better than you. I have the most basic feelings, and you have nothing, just a pile of dead things made of broken copper and iron. ”
As he spoke, Lin Yu felt a warmth on his face, and he reached out to touch it. I thought it was blood, but it turned out to be a transparent liquid, but it turned out to be tears. He suddenly laughed maniacally and said.
"Hahaha... How could I weep, why should I weep? ”
Lin Yu knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, howling and crying, and pounded the floor with his hands. At this time, the door of the temple lobby opened, and a clear breeze blew in. The host walked slowly towards him, Lin Yu heard the footsteps and slowly raised his head, the host raised his hand and gently pressed on his head, a burst of warmth spread throughout his body, and the blood-soaked wound slowly healed.
"What do you see?"
Lin Yu said lightly.
"Yourself. A hideous self, a numb self. ”
"Do you feel anything?"
Lin Yu shook his head. The host sat across from him and said lightly.
"You feel pain because you blame others for everything. In fact, the cause of things is all because of you, and you can't bear the consequences, which is why you are so miserable. ”
"Is it all my fault?"
"That's not what I meant. I want you to learn to be tolerant, not to be tolerant of the world, but to be tolerant of yourself. ”
"Be tolerant of yourself?"
"In life, you will always make mistakes. No matter how big or small, without exception, it is caused by people, and if you keep blaming others for the fault, then the fault will always be a fresh wound. If you try to put the fault on yourself, the wound will become a healed scab, and when you tolerate yourself, the scab will disappear. ”
"I've always done that. I always feel like a broom star who brings disaster to my family, and they would be happy without me. ”
The host pressed his hand on Lin Yu's chest and said.
"You forgot to tolerate yourself."
After saying that, pushing the strength of his palm into Lin Yu's body, he suddenly felt warm all over his body. Even the pain in my body has eased a lot. The host continued.
"If you want to become a Shingon Sangha, this is your first step. The Shingon Sangha is the messenger of the Buddha who left in the world to live a universal life, and he is willing to bear all the sufferings and sins for the world, and he is also willing to excuse all the troubles of the world. ”
Lin Yu slowly straightened up and looked into the host's eyes, and that feeling of déjà vu returned. He felt an unprecedented tranquility in the eyes of the host, and he closed his eyes and felt it quietly. The host walked in front, and he followed. There are cliffs on both sides, but at the end of the road at your feet is a large open flat area where there is also a gorgeous cherry blossom tree with pink cherry blossoms scattered with amorous petals. Lin Yu's attention was attracted by the cherry blossom trees in the distance, completely forgetting the abyss on both sides, and even the pain that had been tormenting him in his heart was thrown aside, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. He bypassed the host and walked briskly towards the cherry blossom tree, faster, faster. In a short time, he had already walked the narrow path.
"It's beautiful."
The host stood behind him with a smile and asked.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Cherry blossom trees."
"Do you know what's under your feet?"
"What else could there be but land?"
The host smiled and said.
"Take a closer look."
Lin Yu looked at the host for a moment, and then looked down at his feet. He was amazed to find that around the cherry blossom trees were small dirt bags, and some human bones were exposed on the ground.
"It's... Is this a grave? ”
"That's right, this is the grave. And the reason why this cherry blossom tree is so beautiful is all thanks to these mounds. ”
Lin Yu's originally relaxed and happy mood became a little lonely again, he asked.
"And who are they buried in?"
"The guilty."
"What crime?"
"All kinds of sins. Even wasting food is their unpardonable sin. Do you know why these people raised such beautiful cherry blossom trees? ”
"Why?"
"Because they have fulfilled their mission while they were alive, and when they are turned into dirt and returned to nature, they become pure souls, and they can brew new life again."
"So what they have committed is to act as if nothing has happened?"
"You still don't understand."
With that, the host walked up to Lin Yu's side, and then pushed him to the cliff hard. Lin Yu's legs walked towards the cliff uncontrollably, and then the whole person fell into the cliff. The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, and the wind is getting louder and louder. He heard the cracking sound of the Celestial Spirit Cover hitting the ground, and he heard the sound of the bones in his spine breaking. Lin Yu pulled out of his body, and he watched as the skin bag that had been smashed into flesh on the ground was sinking into the dirt little by little, and bursts of black gas came out as it fell.
Lin Yu went up with the wind, and after a while he stood where he had just fallen off the cliff. At this time, the host was meditating under the tree, and Lin Yu walked over and asked.
"Why did you do that?"
The host opened his eyes, saw Lin Yu, and asked.
"How are you feeling?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu's state of mind at this time was actually very quiet, although the murderer who retreated from the cliff was in front of him, but he had no hatred at all.
"I felt so quiet, quiet like I had never been. I could feel the direction of the wind, I could feel how they felt through my body, I could even hear what they were saying. ”
"Then you might as well think back to the things that upset you before, such as the father who was killed by you, and the mother who was unhappy all her life because of you, and the friends you brought trouble to them."
Lin Yu slowly recalled according to the host's words. After a moment, he said lightly.
"It's gone. Nothing was gone, I couldn't feel anything. ”
The host got up and said with a smile.
"Those who are buried in the grave feel the same way as you. Because your sins have all become fertilizer for the cherry blossom tree, isn't it a good thing to use your sins to produce beautiful fruits? ”
After saying that, Lin Yu suddenly burst into tears, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he and the host were still sitting face to face.
"Master, I understand it all."
The host opened his eyes, and at this time Lin Yu noticed that the host's eyes were not as bright as before, and now his eyes were like being covered with a layer of gauze. The host walked out of the temple hall with Lin Yu, the fallen leaves on the trees were slowly falling, and the courtyard was like a wheat field after autumn, golden yellow. The host took Lin Yu and said as he walked.
"The Shingon Sangha is the messenger left by the Buddha in the world, and they should use their expertise to benefit all sentient beings. Crossing can cross the paper people, but also the people who are difficult to cross. You are the last of the Shingon monks and the most gifted. You should let go of the past, no matter how the past is, it will not represent the people of the future, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
Lin Yu still asked a little unwillingly.
"If the Shingon monks are all chosen from among the monks, is my biological father also a monk?"
The host smiled and said.
"If your father is a monk, then isn't he breaking the vows?"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry."
The host waved his hand and said.
"It's okay. In fact, every year, a young couple sends their children to the monastery, and the presiding abbot leaves behind the child with the most wise roots, and this child is the Shingon monk. ”
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Are my parents okay then?"
The host didn't speak, and continued to walk into the distance with Lin Yu, about five kilometers away. The two stood on the top of the mountain, and the host pointed to a piece of ruins at the bottom of the mountain.
"You were born here. It was also here that your parents sent you to the monastery, and you are the last Shingon monk on the island of Sanyuan, and your talent is innate. ”
Lin Yu looked at the ruins below and asked.
"What has happened here? Did my parents kill them? ”
"It's natural selection, and they're eliminated by nature. But you were the lucky one in that disaster, and after your adoptive father took you away, he never heard from you again, but I know that you will come back one day. ”
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said.
"Can you tell me about my adoptive father?"
"He is the most ordinary ordinary person, but he has done extraordinary things. As I told you before, taking care of you is his mission on earth, and the sin he suffers is the calamity he will suffer in this life, and it is also the cause and effect of his previous life. Once the mission was over, he was gone. ”
Lin Yu sighed and said.
"I don't know what my mission will be."
"Actually, you already have a decision in your heart."
Lin Yu looked at the host. The host still maintained a quiet smile, and after a few moments, his whole body also turned into leaves, and disappeared with the wind. Looking at the fallen leaves in the distance, Lin Yu muttered to himself.
"Thank you for waiting for me to come back, your mission is over, go all the way."
As soon as the words fell, a collapse sound sounded not far away, and Lin Yu looked over. I saw that the temple that had just been in good shape had completely collapsed, and I didn't know when the bell had fallen somewhere. Lin Yu cleaned up, he found the dervish from the ruins, but fortunately it was not smashed. He wrapped it in a cloth, put it in his backpack, and headed for the beach.
The boat was still there, but the boat that could take him home was gone. Lin Yu jumped into the boat, the oars floated back and forth in the sea, Sanyuan Island was left far behind, and when Lin Yu looked back again, it disappeared at some point. Maybe Lin Yu remembered the wrong location, anyway, it had disappeared from this vast sea at this time. Sanyuan Island is like a tomb waiting for him to return, and when he returns and leaves, this mysterious tomb that carries the beginning and end of the Shingon monk disappears forever under the sea.
In the evening, a yellow light was leisurely lit on the sea, illuminating the surrounding inky sea, and there might be a mermaid attracted by this gloomy light, and I don't know what kind of romance she would bring when she came up to disturb Lin Yu's calm heart. After a long time, the kerosene finally ran out, and Lin Yu curled up in the boat, he fell asleep, and the boat drifted with the sea. The moon hung in the sky to stand guard for him, and the dolphins that jumped out of the sea hummed lullabies, and at this moment Lin Yu fell asleep even more.
The next day, when the sun squeezed out of the sea level, it pulled a long reflection on the surface of the sea, and jumped back and forth with the sea, accidentally jumping into Lin Yu's boat. Lin Yu stretched, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and the oars floated back and forth in the sea. At about noon, Lin Yu arrived in Zhonghai City, and the moment he came ashore from the port, he felt sore, but he was not in a hurry to find a place to rest, but went directly to Luoyun Town. On the way back, he had been thinking about Fang Haotian's words, when Fang Haotian asked him not to step into Luoyun Town again, but at this time he had a reason to have to step in again.
The car stopped at the entrance of Luoyun Town, and at this time, he somehow attracted the attention of many people, and the men, women and children on the street were casting different glances at him. Lin Yu knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while. Fang Fan saw Lin Yu at the door and called out excitedly.
"Lin language."
Lin Yu smiled, then gave Fang Fan a big hug and said.
"I want to meet your father, who is my benefactor who shows me the way."
Fang Fan took Lin Yu to see his father. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Haotian frowned when he saw Lin Yu, took a puff of his cigarette, and said.
"Didn't I let you come back? Why did you run back again. ”
After saying that, Fang Haotian looked at Lin Yu again, only to see a golden leaf on his forehead, so he said in a little panic.
"You... Are you awakened? ”
Lin Yu immediately knelt in front of Fang Haotian and said.
"Thanks to your guidance, I was able to understand it."
Who knew that Fang Haotian actually snorted coldly and said.
"Don't say pretty things, just say what you're coming back for?"
Lin Yu got up and said lightly.
"I'll tell you what I've seen. Sanyuan Island, Putuo Peak, is the habitat of the Shingon monks. And I'm already the last Shingon Sangha there, the last person to be exact. There was no longer any prosperity in the past, and all the four wildernesses were in ruins, and just after I left, Sanyuan Island disappeared. So you don't have to worry about it anymore, the battle for hegemony between the Shingon Monk and the Fang family's blood has stopped with the decline of the Shingon Monk.
Another thing is that I can indeed see the evil qi contained in your Fang family's blood now, but I am not a pedantic and stubborn person, I know good and understand evil. So I won't abuse force because of the Fang family's blood. I'm done with what I've said, I hope you understand. ”
After that, Lin Yu bowed deeply to Fang Haotian, and only slowly got up after half a minute. Fang Haotian sighed and said.
"Since you say so, I'm relieved. I beg your pardon for my previous attitude, I just don't want to see that kind of unjustified vendetta between the two tribes again. ”
After that, he waved his hand at Fang Fan and Lin Yu, and the two went out. As soon as he went out, Lin Yu saw the bone girl guarding the door, and Lin Yu smiled at the bone girl. The bone girl didn't say a word and stepped forward to pull up Lin Yu's ears, and Lin Yu screamed in pain. Finally arrived at a place where no one was around, Bone Girl said.
"If you dare to leave myself behind in the future, if you run away alone, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
Lin Yu looked at the bone girl with a smile and a word, and after a while, the bone girl was a little hairy by Lin Yu, and asked.
"What are you laughing at? You're not going to get out of here, are you? ”
"Nope."
Lin Yu approached the bone girl as he spoke, and the bone girl was a little shy. After Lin Yu came back this time, the bone girl felt that he had changed a lot, especially in terms of aura. For the first time, she felt a sense of oppression from Lin Yu, it was that charming and gentle sense of oppression, and that feeling forced the bone girl to rush into his arms immediately. Lin Yu stroked the bone girl's hair, and then said softly.
"You helped me get through the hardest time I was there. The thought that you're still here waiting for me makes me can't wait to come back. I even spent the night on the surface, but that night was not a bad one, I heard the sounds of seabirds in the boat, heard the lullaby of dolphins, and even pieced together your smile with the stars in the sky. My dear, I miss you so much. ”
With that, he held the bone girl in his arms. This is the first time Lin Yu has said such affectionate love words to the bone girl, and she feels that her whole body is numb. The blurred eyes can only see the lover in front of them, and even if there is a twelve-magnitude earthquake around them, they can't be separated at this moment.
When the two of them were in love, a few people suddenly walked in outside. It's the crow squad, and they get down on one knee when they see Jinqiu, Hua Yi said.
"Young master, it's time to make a decision, right?"
