In mid-October, Shiliu suddenly ran to the edge of the canal that connects the north and south.

By this time, it was already cold, and it had snowed heavily in Kyoto.

The canal is not frozen yet, so the big river is still bustling with boats coming and going.

didn't let Shiliu wait long, and a fleet of officers and soldiers escorted appeared on the canal.

Shi Liu knew that it was the fleet of Princess Liu Yiqing, who was following the envoys of the Nanzhao Kingdom to the south and kissing her.

She couldn't tell why she was coming.

The time can be so precise,

Of course, it's because not long ago, the prodigal hooves of the Ninth Five-Year Plan finally returned.

The flotilla abruptly stopped advancing.

[You can go up and talk to Yiqing now, after this time, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance in this life. 】

Shi Liu didn't bother, she knew that it must have affected the envoy or princess before she stopped the fleet.

Will the stone willow float on the water in this life?

Joke

Of course not!

It didn't take long to see a small boat lower on the main boat and slowly rowing over.

When he arrived at the shore, he asked, "But the four princes are in person?" ”

Shi Liu nodded.

"Princess Qing has invited the four princes to get together on the boat."

Shi Liu jumped directly on the boat, and was stopped by Shi Liu when he wanted to follow.

When he saw Yiqing, Shi Liu was almost unrecognizable.

I knew that Yiqing was good-looking, but after leaving the green silk and applying powder, it turned out to be a country and a city.

Shi Liu clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the little monk has seen the imperial sister." ”

"Go down, all of you. I'll have a few words with my fourth brother. ”

After the palace mermaid retreated, Yi Qing showed a relaxed smile.

The person she is most familiar with in the entire Liu family is Liu Shi, who is also a monk like her.

Being able to meet him here, see him for the last time, and say a few words to him, Yiqing felt that he had no regrets about leaving the land of the Liu family's dynasty.

"I heard that you live in the mountains and live freely."

From Yiqing's words, Shi Liu heard envy.

Shi Liu nodded, then pointed to her heart and explained: "Where is the Pure Land, only the heart." ”

"The Dharma of Jingchen is getting more and more profound." Yiqing smiled and said, "I understand, I also guard my own pure land." ”

Shi Liu thought for a while, Nanzhao was actually not very far away in her opinion, so she said: "When my Buddhism is one step closer, it will be Nanzhao who will give a lecture to the imperial sister." ”

"Okay, don't keep me waiting too long."

"Hmm. Sister Huang take care. ”

"Take care."

With just a few words, Shi Liu took a small boat back to the shore.

Waving at the main boat, she could see Yi Qing standing on the fence on the third floor of the building with her hat on the edge of the fence looking at her.

It wasn't until the fleet disappeared from sight that Shiliu turned back.

He silently followed behind him, not knowing how to comfort his master, Master.

Because he knows that in the heart of the master and the master, the closest relatives are afraid that in addition to Niangniang, it is this Princess Yiqing.

This is not comparable even to Princess Ling.

The first thing he did when he returned to the wooden house in the mountains was that Shi Liu drew the Yiqing who smiled and fell into the city.

After drawing the word, I put it away.

Nobushi didn't go, he stayed in the mountains, and when he saw Shiliu painting, he came to see it.

The woman in the painting is beautiful, but it doesn't leave a mark on Nobushi's heart.

It never wavered in his heart to the Buddha.

Shiliu thinks that a person like Nobushi can be considered a real monk.

Appreciate the good, but don't be nostalgic for the good.

Is this mountain beautiful?

Is this water beautiful?

Is this cloud beautiful?

It's all beautiful.

Immerse yourself in nature, feel nature, and lead the ruthless law.

Although he is in the mountains, in fact, Shi Liu wants to say something casually, and things can appear in front of him.

I'm afraid this kind of practice is not enough.

In the days that followed, Shiliu spoke less and less, and sometimes even said nothing.

The law and the two guards thought that she was because Princess Yiqing was gone,

Only Xinzhi said firmly: "Uncle Shizu is practicing one-word Zen." ”

Since Shi Liu began to practice one-word Zen, he felt that he really didn't know much about his master.

Many times, before Shiryu even started to speak, Nobushi already understood what she was going to do.

But even if the master opened his mouth and said a word, he still felt that the second monk was confused.

Winters in the mountains are colder than outside.

It also snows earlier than outside, and it snows more slowly than outside.

Shiliu now sometimes meditates by the waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall, and sits all day and night.

It seems to be completely unaffected by the bitter cold.

This is because one day when he was sitting in meditation, the Taoist spiritual power that Shi Yanagi had originally cultivated in his body was suddenly attracted by Buddhism.

After a few reincarnations around his body, he sat back in the dantian safely.

And it seems that the spiritual power has become a little stronger because of this.

Since then, Shi Liu, who has been addicted to cultivation, doesn't like to talk anymore.

She finally understood that different paths really existed.

There is spiritual power swimming in the body, and it is naturally not afraid of the climate change outside.

Every time the Dharma is comprehended, the spiritual power becomes more and more flexible.

The law swept away the residual snow on the gravel road, and went to see if the peach tree, which had wrapped its trunk in a coat, was still alive after a night of heavy snowfall.

When he turned his head, he saw that his master was still sitting cross-legged in the same position he had before he fell asleep, motionless.

There was snow all over his body, but there was not a single snowflake on his head.

Nobushi began to recite scriptures and do morning classes while lighting the fire.

After the morning class, the multigrain porridge he cooked was also ready.

"Uncle Shi, you can drink porridge."

The law shouted at Shi Liu: "Master, Laba today, come and drink porridge." ”

Shiliu wakes up from her meditation and finds that her need for food is getting lower and lower now.

I heard that I could eat laba porridge,

Slowly got up, and after doing another set of five bird plays, he came over and sat down on the wooden stool made by law without saying a word.

After a while, Nobuchi brought her the somewhat sticky porridge.

Hey, this time she actually put sugar in it, and she tasted the sweetness.

He brought another pickle that he had made himself.

After drinking a bowl without changing his face, Nobushi went to serve another bowl.

With two bowls of porridge in his stomach, Shi Liu felt that no matter how much people cultivated, they still needed food.

The essence of food is refined in the body and turned into energy for human activities.

Shi Liu felt that it was similar to cultivation.

After Xinzhi put the bowl away, he said: "Uncle Shi, today is Laba, and the little monk wants to go out of the mountain." Go see if anyone needs help. ”

The help in Xinzhi's mouth, Shi Liu knew that what he meant was that during the time after entering the mountain, the sunrise was in addition to reciting scriptures and understanding the Dharma, and he was trying to learn medical skills.

Today he may have a little confidence in himself and wants to go out to the mountains to help people see a doctor.

In addition, there are also people who are puzzled by the idea of becoming a psychotherapist.

Shi Liu nodded in agreement.

Originally, she didn't have so many requirements for him, but he himself had to strictly follow the affairs of the seniors in the Buddhist sect.

Everyone has their own path to practicing Buddhism.

Therefore, Shiliu never said much.

What's more, now that she is practicing one-word meditation by herself, she can not open her mouth without speaking.
