Chapter 36: Brahma
The world is nothing.
There was no horizon or even a reference, and she walked for a long, long time, as if she were just standing still.
The unknown is terrifying. Wouldn't he have traveled from ancient times to another completely blank dimension? So what triggered this crossing? Heaven is always caught off guard.
She kept moving forward, and even ran at the end. God, I beg you, even if I see any other object that has taken shape, or I will assume that I have entered the legendary bardo.
Living up to expectations, a stone peak suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, and there seemed to be a natural hole at the bottom, which was hidden among the vines, and there was a faint sound of water flowing in the cave.
Was this a prompt for her to go in? She entered decisively, the vines were moist, there was a strong aroma of grass and trees, and after the barrier, there was no other world. The stream is murmuring, the ancient trees are towering, and the whole cave has a dull hue because no sunlight is shining in. The spicy smell of the plant reminded her of that dream not long ago.
She saw herself disheveled, soaking wet, into the stream, swimming towards the figure sitting in the water. He should have been protected from rain, but now his whole body was drenched, and she approached him, and the two were entangled. The originally cold tone suddenly changed into many colors, the light and shadow were ambiguous, the atmosphere was blurry, she was so ashamed that she almost covered her face and escaped, but she still couldn't help but open a slit between her fingers and wanted to look again.
There is no doubt that this is a large-scale restoration of her spring dream......
Just watch it, anyway, I've already had this dream, and now I'll look back on it, hehehe. But what is the situation, is it that I have come to the dream of the past?
"Amitabha." A Buddha horn shook the room like a bell, and the two figures who were still glued just now disappeared, and the light suddenly returned to its original state. Ah Qing looked around and saw an old man in a robe standing in front of him.
This monk, what she had seen before, was that before she went to find Xue Ji, she had passed by a singing courtyard in a dream, and the monk kept saying that she wanted to go back by herself, and then Jiang Yue saved her in her dream.
I had never seen this monk with my own eyes, so why was he able to enter his dreams again and again? Could it be that he really has some otherworldly powers, and what does it have to do with himself?
She remembered that Jiang Yue called him in her dream, Master Bodhi?
"Master Bodhi?" She strikes preemptively.
"Donor." The monk nodded.
"Where are we?"
"In the mirror."
What? Ah Qing was confused.
"The name of this mirror, the Brahma mirror, is said to be a tear shed by the Buddha when the audience was born struggling in the sea of suffering."
"Will the Buddha cry too?" Ah Qing was moved.
"All sentient beings are suffering, and my Buddha is merciful, and I only wish that all sentient beings will be freed from the sea of suffering and get rid of the suffering of reincarnation as soon as possible."
"Actually, I haven't understood," Ah Qing smiled, "You all shout to save the world and cross sentient beings, have you ever thought about what the world really wants?" ”
She forgot her feelings: "Do you become an immortal, or do you ascend to Bliss early?" It's neither, maybe it's just a couple for a lifetime. ”
"What the donor said is very true." The master laughed instead of being angry.
"Then why did you pull me into this illusion? Don't you want me to let go of my obsession and turn back? ”
"The old man is just entrusted by someone, but it is an old thing."
"What's the old thing?"
"Emptiness is color, and color is emptiness. You were in a dream that day, and I wanted to send you back, but I was stopped by Jiang Daochang. Now, would you like to go back? ”
Master Bodhi's gaze is as calm as water, and it seems to penetrate everything. She couldn't help but want to cry. He could understand, he could see all her sorrows. A Buddha can see all sentient beings and see how they are suffering and struggling in samsara. The Buddha soothes sentient beings with his compassion.
"I ...... I do. Tears blurred her vision.
The master smiled silently, turned around and turned into a golden magic seal more than a person high, but he stepped out of the hole.
"Master!" Ah Qing didn't know what he meant, and he was at a loss between him and Fa Yin, so he decided to follow him first and ask.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he suddenly encountered a strange wind and lifted up the hanging vines at the entrance of the cave impartially. The white light was dazzling, and she clearly saw Jiang Yue standing upright outside the cave with her sword in her hand, and her heart skipped a beat.
"All appearances are vain." Master Bodhi's echo sounded, "Donor, through the Dharma Seal, you can return to the original world." Cause and effect are all in their own choice. ”
She naturally chose Jiang Yue.
Even if he was a phantom, if in this world, she could live with the phantom for the rest of her life, she would be willing.
As long as it's him.
With tears in her eyes, she slowly stepped out of the cave, Shi Feng disappeared in an instant, and he still stood still.
It's not a dream, it's not a dream, she told herself.
