Chapter 18 Receiving a Necklace and Becoming Friends

Zhong Jinming's eyes seem to be able to see through a person. I could only hear her say: "Even if the priest and Song Xun are not married and are together openly, so what? Their love is always in their hearts, and they go through the ups and downs hand in hand, giving each other encouragement and warmth, and making each other better people. I think that's what love really means. In the following lives, they may have changed their faces and names, and even their personalities are different from the beginning, but they will still love each other, because their souls have been attracted to each other for a long time, and they have decided to join hands for a lifetime a long time ago. They still love each other as much as they did at the beginning. ”

"You're right!" Xue Mingcan walked out of the fog and melancholy, "I also believe that they will be together forever!" ”

Zhong Jingming asked softly, "Is there anything else Miss Ming and Miss Garan want to know?" ”

Xue Mingcan wanted to know a lot, but felt that she didn't need to know anymore. Garan shook her head.

The storyteller changed a story, but it was still about the Moon Dynasty. This time, she told the story of a female city lord surnamed Shen during the Xun Emperor period. In that era, there were really too many romantic characters hidden.

After listening to the story this time, both parties have a good impression of each other, and they have the intention of seeing each other late. It's a pity that the Zhong brothers and sisters have been out for a long time, and they will leave for home tomorrow, so they can't travel to the capital together.

"Our brother and sister live in Huicheng, and if he arrives in Huicheng one day, he will definitely let Jingming fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Zhong Jinming untied a necklace from his neck, which was a black rope tied to a quaint disc, and in the middle of the disc, there was a crescent moon, and around the crescent moon was a strange pattern. Such a light disc looks like an antique that has been handed down for a long time. Xue Mingcan categorically refused: "This chain looks like a family heirloom, I can't accept it." ”

Zhong Jinming was also very resolute: "This is indeed an antique, but it is not an heirloom of my family." Our brother and sister are destined to be with you and are willing to make you a friend. ”

Xue Mingcan couldn't refuse, so he accepted it. Zhong Jinming personally put it on her neck and told her: "This is to keep you safe, don't show it easily and don't take it off easily." ”

The brother and sister gave another gift from Garan, a sword spike untied from Zhong Jingming's sword, and a few beads were wrapped around the spike.

Garan simply accepted it, and making friends who had a good conversation was also the pleasure of her travels.

When leaving, Zhong Jinming said: "If Mingcan gets married in the future, can you tell me?" Our brothers and sisters must have come from Huicheng to send congratulatory gifts. ”

Xue Mingcan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid it's still early!" ”

The Zhong brothers and sisters smiled but did not speak.

At night, Xue Mingcan carefully studied the pattern on it under the lamp, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The guy at the inn said that Master Huiyi of the Temple of Mercy and Grace had returned from a trip and was going to hold a puja meeting in the temple today. Garan felt that the opportunity was rare and that she had to listen to it. Xue Mingcan thought that he probably didn't understand the master's puja, but the Temple of Mercy and Grace was a good place to play.

Xue Mingcan never asked about the origin of Jialan, but on the way to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Jialan took the initiative to talk about it.

She was very happy at first, saying that she had admired Master Huiyi for a long time, and it was a rare opportunity to listen to his puja today. Then it was melancholy: "After going down the mountain for three years, I don't know when I will be able to hear the morning bell and dusk drum in the temple." ”

"If you miss it, why don't you go back?"

Jialan, the quoted Zen sayings, vegetarian food, puja, Xue Mingcan originally thought that Jialan and Buddhism have a deep relationship, and the Xu family is all devout believers, but there is no family, just Jialan.

Garan was an orphan who was brought to the monastery by monks at an early age and raised up. The abbot tried to find a family to take care of her, but he never found her. Later, the monks took care of Garan and had feelings for her, and they were reluctant to send her away. So Garan grew up in the temple in this way.

She had no name or surname, and the abbot named her Garan and taught her to read and write and martial arts. When I was a child, I also heard that before the abbot became a monk, he had a young daughter, but later suffered an accident and the family was ruined. To the abbot, Garan may have been the red dust of his departure.

At the beginning, Jialan was reluctant to go down the mountain, and she was willing to be with the Buddha for the rest of her life, away from the red dust. But the abbot was unwilling.

"If you don't enter the red dust, how can you leave the red dust and see through the red dust?" Jia Lan said, "Master asked me to go down the mountain, experience the various states of life, and then go back when I have experienced the joys and sorrows of the world. ”

It's because her experience is shallow, and she can't understand the true meaning of Buddhism. Therefore, in this worldly experience, a few rolls, a few pains, and then a great understanding. In the past three years, she has seen the warmth and coldness of people, the pain of life and death, and the truest happiness.

But none of this is hers. Life and death are not her, but she has to be. She was like a bystander, and after being touched, her heart was calm. Look, these are the same as the books, what else do I have to feel?
