Chapter Twenty-Six: Breaking Everything
I can't remember when I left the Yin Temple, it seems that my memory is really getting worse and worse, I only remember that when I saw it, it was in the backyard of the temple, and I also came here once, that was when Yun Duruo and took me to cure my eye disease.
Walk in and see the lush and towering Bodhi tree in the courtyard, but here and the last time I came to change a lot, a bend of the stream flows from the side of the Bodhi tree, the stone bridge above is simple and long, the bridge is a low-hanging willow, the willow branches fluttering in the feng shui make me feel.
I stared at it for a long time and finally remembered that when I saw Qin Yanhui in the ghost market, he was sitting by the green willows on this stone bridge, but how could the scene of the ghost market appear here, I just frowned and was a little puzzled, and my eyes fell on the two people under the Bodhi tree.
Dressed in white and meditating, the incense burner in front of him was full of green smoke, looking at what he was holding in his hand from a distance, Gu Xiaoxiao was sitting next to him, I haven't seen the two of them for a long time, but to my secret surprise, it seems that there is no change with Gu Xiaoxiao, it is still the same as when they were separated, but now between the otherworldly gestures are like a monk, Gu Xiaoxiao has no previous perversity and has become quiet and calm.
Walking in, Yun Duruo and I sat cross-legged opposite them, and only then did I see clearly that what he was holding in his hand was a carving knife and a log, what was he carving, and there was no surprise on his face when he saw us unexpectedly, and he smiled faintly as calmly as Gu Xiaoxiao.
The loneliness in my heart became more and more solemn, as if everyone could be content with the status quo, only I was a person who lived in the past, and Gu Xiaoxiao's reaction when she saw me was the same as Han Yu, and she was calm and comfortable with what she encountered, which made me a little confused.
"I went to see Han Yu and Fang Xiang, they ...... They're all good. "I was trying to find a topic that everyone could engage with.
But after listening, he buried his head in the carving in his hand, carved on the log one by one, and watched the sawdust fall for a long time before hearing his voice.
"Longhu Mountain has been separated for several years, and the Six Paths of Enlightenment Meditation have been meditating, I knew that you would come, but I didn't expect to wait for you for so long."
"You...... Are you waiting for me? ”
Silently continued to carve the log in his hand, Gu Xiaoxiao behind him picked up the freshly boiling water and poured tea for us, Yun Duruo didn't know when she started to talk very little, whether she saw Han Yu or came here, she almost didn't say anything.
I picked up the teacup and watched Gu Xiaoxiao pour the water in, until the boiling water overflowed and scalded my hand, the teacup fell to the ground, and my expression became a little flustered.
"Look, it's not that you can't let it go, it's that you don't want to let it go." Gu Xiaoxiao's words became full of Zen machines.
"How's your life?" Buried in the heart like a stop to ask.
"It's okay...... OK. I picked up the teacup from the ground and replied absentmindedly. It's very pleasant, it seems to be able to ...... anything."
“。” I'm still hesitating, and I've got it spoken.
I nodded in amazement, how many people dream of these four words, but I feel as if something is wrong, it seems that something is missing, but I have never been sure.
"What do you think I'm carving?" Brushed the sawdust off my shirt and handed me the carved log.
I took it and took a look, and there were a few random carvings on the log, no outline and no shape, and I shook my head hesitantly.
"This ...... What is it? ”
"As it comes." Raise your head, your eyes are wise and ethereal.
"If you come?!" My brow furrowed, and the notches on the log were jumble, like a child's hand-carved knives. "But I don't see this as a result."
"My heart sees that everything is as it comes." Put your hands together and pronounce a Buddha name, and say to me meaningfully. "I look at the world with my heart, everything is true, how can you see it with your eyes."
The words are full of Zen machine, and I will not be able to comprehend it at all for a while, and I still can't understand the mystery of the words after repeatedly looking at the log in my hand.
"You said you went to Dushan Yin Temple to see Han Yu and Fang Xiang?" Asked very calmly.
I nodded.
"When did you go?" And I looked at each other and asked indifferently.
"Yes......" I was about to answer, but suddenly I was stunned and realized that I couldn't remember exactly when I went.
"How did you get to Dushanyin Temple?" Accentuate the voice and ask again.
……
My brows furrowed even tighter, and I found that I couldn't answer such a simple question, I only remember seeing Han Yu and Fang Xiang, but I can't remember how I went, and I can't remember when I went, as if my memory is completely jumping, and I can't remember many inadvertent details in the middle at all.
"Then how did you come to this Zenqing Temple?" Unhurried, continue to ask.
I started to be a little flustered, trying to make myself able to remember what I started, after saying goodbye to Han Yu and Fang Xiang from Dushan Yin Temple, I came to Chanqing Temple with Yun Duruo, but I really didn't have any impression of how I came, I felt as if I had suddenly arrived here.
All wishes come true!
It's still these four words, I can always fulfill anything according to my own ideas, maybe there are many such experiences, I often only see the result but never pay attention to the process.
"I don't remember...... Can't remember! I licked my lips and looked up anxiously. Why can't I remember so many things? ”
Instead of answering me, he slowly reached over to me and grabbed my hand and pressed it against my chest.
"A flower is a world, a leaf is the same, the Buddha is in the heart, everything in the world is the Buddha's language, you only have the empty phase in your eyes, and you can't see the Buddha without the Buddha in your heart."
I allowed my hand to press to my chest, and after a moment I suddenly opened my mouth in shock, and I couldn't feel my heartbeat with my hand on my chest.
"For ...... Why is this happening? I asked in a panic.
"All appearances are vain. If you see things that are not the same. See as it comes! He didn't answer me directly, but folded his hands and closed his eyes to recite the sutra.
I'm not a disciple of Buddhism, I don't know anything about Zen Buddhism, I obviously want to mention something to me, but now I can't understand it at all, and I want to continue to ask, suddenly the lingering voice in my ears appeared again, compared to it is more clear and thunderous I have a splitting headache.
…… I have made it impossible to enter nirvana and destroy it. Such is the destruction of immeasurable and boundless beings. There is no one who can be destroyed......
This was the first time I could clearly hear the contents of the sutras in those voices, and soon I could tell that it was the Diamond Sutra, and at first I could tolerate the disturbing headache, but as the sutras became louder and louder, I covered my ears to calm myself but it was useless, and when I looked up, I saw that the voice I heard was actually chanting from my mouth.
It turned out that the Buddhist scriptures I heard again and again were all recited, and the faster he recited, the more difficult it became for me to bear the headache that was worse than death.
"Don't read it again." I said in a pleading voice.
But he didn't pay attention to my words, and the Buddhist scriptures recited from his mouth became clearer and brighter, and I couldn't bear the piercing pain, so I reached out and pushed the opposite person sitting in desperation, and when I waved my hand, I was shocked to find that my hand had passed through my body.
He disappeared in front of my eyes like the mist of incense, the illusory disappeared in front of my eyes, along with Gu Xiaoxiao's disappearance and the Buddhist scriptures in my ears, I could finally calm down, but I was shocked by what happened in front of me, and I didn't know what was going on.
I looked back at Yun Duruo, she was calm as if nothing had happened, this is clearly the Zen Qing Temple, I remember......
I frowned again, I wasn't sure what this place was, as if everything was as I remembered, and it was as illusory as Gu Xiaoxiao who disappeared just now.
Jingling......
My thoughts were interrupted by the light sound of a bell, a familiar sound, but I hadn't heard it in a long time, and I looked up in the direction of the sound, and there was a red wind chime bracelet hanging from the willow tree by the stone bridge.
I stood up and walked under the willow tree to take off the bracelet, looked at it for a long time and suddenly remembered that it was the one I gave to Yun Duruo in the ghost market, I looked back at Yun Duruo behind me in amazement, her wrist was empty.
"Do you remember this bracelet?" I picked up the bracelet and placed it in front of Yun Duruo's eyes.
"I don't remember." Yun Duruo shook his head.
……
I was secretly shocked in my heart, I could finally remember some of the previous events, but one thing I am sure of is that this bracelet is of great significance to Yun Duruo, she will never forget, since Longhu Mountain and everyone separated, I have never seen Yun Duruo wear this bracelet, and now she doesn't even remember this bracelet.
I took a deep breath and looked around everything in this courtyard again, the towering Bodhi tree and the stream, stone bridge and weeping willow were completely incompatible, this was clearly the scene of two different places, why did they merge in one place.
Memory......
I suddenly gasped in my heart, this is not real, everything is just a combination of fragments of my memory, I gradually realized what I just said, he made me see with my heart, not my eyes.
If everything I see is illusory, then the people around me ......
I slowly opened my mouth and carefully recited the Buddhist scriptures I had just recited, all appearances are false, if you see things that are not appearances, you will see them as they are......
It reminds me that everything that my eyes see is an illusion, and that I have never seen the real things as they are, unless I wanted to.
Thinking of this, I picked up the carving knife left on the case, and slowly raised it in front of Yun Duruo, she didn't have the slightest look of shock and fear, I was still a little hesitant, but the wind chime in my hand rang again, and suddenly became extremely firm, how could Yun Duruo forget this bracelet, unless......
Unless what I see is not Yun Duruo at all.
The carving knife in my hand cut at Yun Duruo in front of me without hesitation.
