In early spring, the mountain behind the Lingkong Temple in the suburbs of Beijing reflects the emerald color, and the green fire maple trees are densely hung with fresh palm leaves, swinging with the wind, it will evoke a crisp laugh. Halfway up the mountainside, a slightly immature chanting, accompanied by the chuckle of the maple leaves, gradually rolled down the cyan stone steps word by word to the bottom of the mountain.

"The Buddha told the Buddha, If it is colored, if it is colorless; If there is thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought, I will cause it to enter the infinite nirvana and extinguish it. ’”

The male voice, which still had a hint of immaturity, paused slightly, and after a while, after a little familiarity, he slowly read the words smoothly, and his voice also changed from the previous hesitation to a smooth and steady voice: "If it is the destruction of countless boundless sentient beings, there are no sentient beings who have been destroyed." Why? Subodhi, if a bodhisattva has the appearance of self, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of the long-lived, that is, he is not a bodhisattva. ”

"Not a bodhisattva?" The young monk was a little stunned when he held a scroll of scriptures: "If there is a self-appearance, a human appearance, a sentient being's appearance, and a long-lived appearance, is it a non-Bodhisattva?" ”

"The little monk turned out to be a little fool!" At this time, a clear and soft voice suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the little monk who was scolded for no reason was not angry, and he did not wait for him to find out where the person who spoke was, only put down the book for a moment, and suddenly met a pair of water spirit eyes, and in an instant there seemed to be starlight flashing in front of his eyes.

It turned out to be her!

Isn't the female doll wearing a bright red skirt in front of her a female guest who stayed in the temple a few days ago? That day, when he was rolling up his sleeves to fetch water, he happened to meet her, who was led by an old servant into the west courtyard, and there was only a water corridor separated from the meditation room where he lived.

He still remembered that the old servant called her "Miss Yao'er", thinking about which family's daughter came to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings?

The weather was slightly cool that day, and she also put on a fiery red cloak, which entered his heart at a glance, this memory seemed to have a long history, and it was deep in the bone marrow, as if the two had been old acquaintances, or had intersected in their previous lives.

Therefore, her appearance not only broke the dullness of the monastery, but was more like a pebble that 'plopped' into the ripples of his heart.

Gradually, his face was reflected in the bright red in front of him, or somehow, it was actually half red.

"Hey, little fool!" The female doll sat next to him without any strangeness, stretched out a chubby little hand to wrap around in front of him, and muttered: "It seems that you are not only stupid, but also stupid, but very suitable for being a monk!" ”

"Wake up—" The little monk who raised her voice hurriedly lowered her head, "Amitabha, Amitabha!" He hurriedly recited two sentences silently, but his heart fluttered and jumped even harder.

"My name is Shentu Jingyao, little monk, are you the proton from the Great Xia Dynasty?" Shentu Jingyao held his head, which was tied in a bun, with small hands, and looked at him curiously.

The distance between the two is very close, so close that the little monk can smell the milky fragrance emanating from her, which is very sweet.

Shentu Jingyao? Is she the baby of the Shentu family? The little monk suddenly realized that the baby five years ago had actually grown into a big fat girl, time was in a hurry, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't know that if Shentu Jingyao knew that this little monk called her "big fat girl", he would not have to fight with him!

"Amitabha!" He hurriedly leaned slightly towards Shentu Jingyao's body unconsciously, put his hands together and said: "The little monk has broken away from the world, cut off the red dust, and ask the donor to call the little monk 'empty'!" ”

Shentu Jingyao couldn't help but pout when he heard this, and while speaking, he looked at the change in his expression: "Don't look at me I've only lived for two or three days, I have already figured out the big and small things in the entire Lingkong Temple, especially you, I'm very interested in it-what about you, you are the prince of Chu Tianhe, the king of Great Xia, who was brought back from the people, it is said that when the king of Great Xia was hunting in the royal hunting ground, he strayed into the depths of the great wilderness in order to chase a white deer, and disappeared for nearly eight months before returning to the dynasty, and the swaddling baby he was holding in his arms at that time was you, is also the only prince of the Great Xia Dynasty so far, Chu Tianyan, am I right? ”

"You don't look like a five-year-old!" The little monk who claimed to be called "Likong" looked at Shentu Jingyao calmly, as if he was listening to a stranger's story.

Shentu Jingyao smiled slyly and responded unceremoniously: "You are only ten years old, although you have not yet departed from immaturity when you speak, but you look like an old monk who is about to sit down, and you are lifeless!" ”

"Did the King of Great Xia send you to the Great Li Kingdom as a proton and broke your heart, so you entered the Buddha Gate?" Shentu Jingyao blinked her two round eyes and tried her best to grab some information: "I heard that you were sent here when you were five years old, is it because the ancient witch calculated that you were born with a father, so the King of Great Xia wanted to send you far away?" Who is your mother? Why don't you go with it to the royal family? ”

"Donor-" There were always two empty brown eyes in his empty eyes, and there was no change in the slightest: "You asked the wrong person, there is no prince of the Great Xia Dynasty here, only one person." ”

"You can see it!" Shentu Jingyao knew that he couldn't ask anything from his mouth, so he sighed slightly: "If you and I have the protection of our mother, why do you have to suffer here?" If your mother is still here, it is estimated that you will go back to the Great Xia Dynasty to be the prince above 10,000 people under one person, and I, if my mother is still here, I-what am I going to do here in this place, woo woo woo ......" she cried as she spoke.

I didn't expect this female doll to cry when she said she would cry, and she didn't know what to do for a while, he was still a child in his bones, but when his father ordered him to be sent to Dali as a proton, he was no longer a child.

It doesn't hurt to be imprisoned as a proton, but what he cares about is his father's attitude towards him, and the relieved look of the King of Great Xia when he leaves cut off a son's last attachment to his father.

Originally, when he entered the Lingkong Temple, he didn't have to shave and take refuge, but he still chose to do so, in order to survive in a foreign country, and in order to sever the father-son relationship with Chu Tianhe, the king of Great Xia, but the word "proton" can pull him back to the world at any time, he has always been a hostage of the Great Li Kingdom, and he is the "prince" of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"You just said that the little monk is stupid, I don't know if you can tell me in detail?" He had no choice but to try to divert Shen Tu Jingyao's attention.

Shentu Jingyao couldn't help crying in her mood, but she cried and cried, but the monk sitting next to her was always indifferent, but she was embarrassed, and the tears stopped, only whining twice, staring at the monk with blank eyes, as if asking him to comfort her.

The monk's sentence "Where is the stupidity, please inform" was considered to have given her a step down, her tears were still in her eyes, her small mouth immediately grinned, and her emotions recovered very quickly.

"I've been listening to you recite non-bodhisattvas for a long time," she pulled out a lily handkerchief embroidered with the word 'Yao' in silver thread from her wide sleeved robe, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "The answer should be on your Dharma name, but the word 'empty'." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Sora motioned for her to continue.

Shentu Jingyao pointed to the "non-Bodhi" on the scriptures and said: "Non-is emptiness, only by breaking the 'self-grasping' can we achieve positive results!" If you are like me, although it is a drop in the ocean, it is not worth mentioning, but it is still the foundation of one's own life. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about Bodhisattvas everywhere without knowing Bodhisattvas? ”

The moment of emptiness was stunned, his eyebrows were like a sharp sword out of the sheath, usually hidden in the warm eye sockets and unknown, but at this time, Shentu Jingyao seemed to be a slap in the face, and directly woke him up, his brows stretched, his eyes became bright and deep, and the road ahead appeared under his feet like a cloud and fog.

In the past five years, it is not so much that he is cultivating his mind, but that he is escaping and creating a stable place for himself to create an illusion, in fact, it is impossible for him to be separated from this complicated world, and reading the Bible is just deceiving himself and covering his heart.

"I see a word on your face!" Shentu Jingyao pointed to the empty road: "A word 'forbearance', forbearance and accumulation, forbearance is a well-thought-out, you must be a person who has achieved great things!" It shouldn't be succumbed to that! At least later—" She said in a much quieter voice, and whispered into his ear, "You should go back to the Great Xia Dynasty!" ”

I smiled emptyly, I just ignored one thing that this little girl said, and now it looks like she's just a five-year-old girl doll, can what she said be serious? But what is surprising is that he did not expect a five-year-old child to see more clearly than him, which made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Look down on me? Still don't believe me? You're only ten years old-" Shentu Jingyao looked like a little adult and shook her head helplessly: "You can't teach, you can't teach-hey-" Saying that, she actually shook her head and went down the mountain with her hands behind her back, but she didn't take two steps, she couldn't hold back, turned around and smiled at the air and ran down the hill.

When the girl disappeared, a blue wolf more than three meters tall suddenly stepped out of the dense maple forest behind, it came to the empty body in a few steps, stretched out its tongue and licked the back of his hand and then lay meekly at his feet, Rao is so, the blue wolf's body still overshadows the thin monk.

"It's all settled?" The hand holding the scripture was slightly forced, and his eyes were indifferent at the moment, without a trace of childlike jerkiness.

The blue wolf nodded his huge head as if he were human.

He stood up and walked to the side of the steps, and he lifted one foot lightly, as if it was the time to reign again!

He looked at the direction of the Northwest Great Xia Dynasty, his brown eyes suddenly shining with golden light, as if he could penetrate the mountains and rivers and reach the inner perimeter of the dynasty, while the blue wolf behind him trembled, and became more and more prostrate to the ground, in awe of the villain in front of him.
