The shopkeeper had been waiting impatiently, if it hadn't been for many years, he would have closed the door and plugged in the door bolt if he hadn't seen the extraordinaryness of these two and didn't dare to offend. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is an unwritten rule for more than half a step at night, and it is at your own risk to stay outside.

It's rare for the shopkeeper to be a living person, he looks young, he looks like he is in his twenties, and somehow he is doing chores in this kind of place, and he must have something inside.

However, Zhou Xun didn't want to pay attention to other people's affairs, he was more interested in Fahai's affairs.

opened a room on the third floor, Zhou Xun settled the pestering little girl, pulled down the curtain, and listened to Fahai's story by dim candlelight outside.

The yellow candlelight shone on the shiny bald head, sparkling, and Fahai's whole person was bathed in gold.

The candle flame jumped, making a popping sound, and the candle oil slowly dripped down the white candle body onto the wooden table, forming a small puddle.

Fahai stared at the candlestick and spoke slowly.

"In that life, I was a snake catcher, catching snakes for a business, and one day I caught a white snake, but I let it escape...... The shepherd boy hid the white snake and escaped my tracking...... The shepherd boy was reincarnated many times until he became the benefactor of Xu Xian in this life. ”

"In another life, I have succeeded in cultivation, found the elixir immortal, and synthesized a furnace of Great Dan, which can increase the Taoism for five hundred years, and the white snake swallowed it, so that I could not succeed ......"

"For the next few lifetimes, I have been entangled endlessly, and I have experienced thousands of years like this."

"In this life, I entered the Buddhism, understood Su Hui, and looked back on the experience of the past lives, only this grievance has never been able to let go, I can't see through, I can't go, and I almost become a demon."

Fahai rarely showed a little melancholy, clasped his hands together, and silently recited the Heart Sutra.

However, the mind can never be calm, and if you lose this heart, it will be in vain to recite the Heart Sutra.

Zhou Xun opened his mouth to persuade.

"Why don't you follow the example of Maitreya Buddha, the big belly can tolerate, tolerate the intolerable things in the world, smile kindly, and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world."

"The left and right are just the old things you have been many years ago, and there is nothing you can't let go. Endure it, and it's over, so why keep chasing it? ”

When Fahai heard about the White Snake, he was prone to lose his temper, and he was irritable, and he said hatefully.

"You can endure any anger, it's a dead man!"

"No, there are Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas, and many, many more...... You are a disciple of Buddhism, and you are more familiar with Buddhist scriptures than me, so you won't be able to understand the six paramitas, right? ”

Fahai was silent.

Zhou Xun could only continue.

"Forbearance, vows, meditation, perseverance, generosity, prajna – after the first five methods have been cultivated, then Prajnaparamita is practiced, and this is the path of the bodhisattva path. Let me ask you, do you remember it yourself? ”

Fahai was speechless, just silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Poor Monk...... During this time, we really neglected the two lessons of forbearance and humiliation and keeping the vows. But I was not a bodhisattva who cultivated in the first place, nor was I a supreme enlightened Buddha. I specialize in the method of subduing the outer paths, and what I want to achieve is the position of the Dharma Protector Vajra......"

"My family knows about my own family, but I can't let go of the grievances of the past, no matter how much I recite sutras and sit in meditation, when I encounter the karma brought about by this life, the concentration of the past is all in vain...... It's simply the nemesis of my life. ”

Outside the window, a strong wind blew, thunderclaps, small hailstones and snowflakes hit the window.

"Easier said than done, as it has always been. If it is so easy to practice, wouldn't it really be that the whole world is full of Bodhisattva Heavenly Venerables? Sometimes, it's not like you know what to do and you can do it. In your situation, no one can help you, and there is very little room for external forces to help, so you can only rely on yourself to break free. ”

"Your Buddhism's precepts and forbearance are all good methods, and my suggestion is to ignore the rights and wrongs of the side for the time being, and find a place to try the two practices of keeping vows and forbearance and humiliation."

"As soon as this man's heart is quiet, there will be less right and wrong; Concentrate on doing things, and often there are fewer distractions. ”

"In a few years, when you look back, it may suddenly become clear to you that these rights and wrongs are nothing more than that."

Fahai just listened and didn't speak, and Zhou Xun sighed secretly, knowing that he still couldn't convince him.

"I see that you are already obsessed with Da Chi now, I'm afraid that you won't be able to listen to my words much at this time, and you will forget it in a blink of an eye."

"But I still have to say one more thing in the end, the road is one foot high, the demon is one foot high, and there will always be a demon obstacle to trouble you, always thinking about violent solutions, blindly fighting and killing is useless."

After saying this, Fahai seemed to listen to it and agreed:

"Blindly fighting, killing, and killing really can't solve right and wrong, and the poor monk agrees with Zhou Shizhu's words."

Then he got up, grabbed the Zen staff, tightened the gray robe on his body, and said:

"It's late at night, and the poor monk won't bother much, so I'll take my leave."

Before leaving, he paused again and said:

"The poor monk has received the kindness of Lord Zhou, but the poor monk also has his own hardships, don't think that the poor monk is really impure and does not distinguish between right and wrong."

"See you back, Master Zhou."

Without waiting for Zhou Xun to ask again, Fahai opened the door and walked out.

Then the door was slammed shut again.

The jingling of the cane and the sound of footsteps faded away, and the room returned to calm.

Zhou Xun sat for a while, sitting on the bench a little distracted, as if he remembered something.

The inn is mostly lit with candlesticks and oil lamps, and the room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the outer closet is equipped with a thick pin with a long finger, which is specially used to pick up the lamp.

When the lights are dim, guests can use this long needle to stir up the lights themselves to make the lights bright.

From the small compartment where the sundries were placed in the closet outside the guest room, Zhou Xun found a long needle.

There are traces of fireworks on the body of the needle, and there is still a little solidified candle oil left on the end of one of the ends, which must have been used for many years.

He lifted the brass candlestick with one hand and gently stirred the lamp with the tip of the needle.

The wick part was picked out by Zhou Xun and exposed to the outside, the candle oil melted, and dripped down the long needle, but it quickly solidified on the needle, and the rest was thrown to the ground by the young man.

The candle flame flickered on and off, and the shadow of the boy trembled on the wall.

After picking for a while, Zhou Xun blew on the candle flame, and the fireworks were two or three feet long.

After the red and yellow flames flared up, they magically swelled into a mass on them, and a human figure appeared in it, and gradually the sound could be heard.

Zhou Xun waited for a while, and then blew lightly, and the momentum of the flame rose sharply, and the sound of influence from the light flame was much clearer.

Faintly, you can see a large cloud in the light and flames, and two giant snakes and two dragons rise and fall in it, which is the scene of fighting in the clouds above.

Through this candlelight, Zhou Xun reappeared in front of him in the distance.
