Could it be that Monk Sanen is his own in another world? That evening in Wuzhen, I had the illusion of meeting myself in another world, but it wasn't an illusion? He came to me from that world? Grandpa had countless questions in his mind.

Grandpa hurriedly returned home from Laohe and asked Zhao Xianyun, Yu Youyang and Luo Buzhai.

To my father's surprise, they all said that no monks had come to the house in the past few days, let alone monks staying here.

Grandpa said incredulously: "He drank tea with me, talked with me, and walked with me, all of which were real." Didn't you see me drinking tea, didn't you see me preaching, didn't you see me going out for a walk? ”

Yu Youyang said: "I saw it." But we only see you drinking tea alone and you have to put out two tea cups, one in front of you and one across the table. We also see that you have been talking to yourself for the past few days, and it does mean a little bit to talk to people. When you walk alone, you also talk to yourself. ”

After Yu Youyang finished speaking, the others nodded yes.

"We thought you had something on our minds, so we didn't dare to disturb you." Luo Buzhai added.

At this time, Millet walked in with a small bamboo stick, which could be used to learn arithmetic and divination.

Luo Buzhai saw Xiaomi coming in and asked Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, are you seeing Ma Xiucai these days unusual?" ”

Xiaomi glanced at her father and whispered, "It seems to be." ”

Luo Buzhai spread his hands and said, "Look! ”

But when Grandpa taught Xiaomi to write alone, Millet secretly told Grandpa: "Ma Xiucai, I don't dare to say that you are normal, in fact, I saw the monk, but they didn't see it." ”

Grandpa was very pleased, grabbed Xiaomi's hand and said, "Really? Did you really see that? ”

Usually, my dad also touches Xiaomi's hand, but not as hard as this time.

Xiaomi's small hand was grabbed by his grandfather in his big hand and completely covered. Xiaomi's expression was a little weird, and his eyes became unusual.

Grandpa noticed that Xiaomi was abnormal and hurriedly let go of his hand.

Xiaomi lowered her head and brewed her emotions for a moment before saying, "I saw it." Although he doesn't look like you, he makes me feel just like you. ”

"He gives you the same feeling I give you?" Daddy asked.

Xiaomi nodded, revealing a shy expression again.

Grandpa said to himself, "Your instincts are very sensitive. He should be another me. But why does he look different from me? ”

At the same time as Grandpa thought of the answer, Xiaomi said the answer: "Because your experience is different, your appearance is also different." ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes." Although we are the same person, the experiences are different. The ancients could see a person's life from the face, palm, and bone physiognomy, so different lives have different faces, palms, and bones. Therefore, even the same person, after experiencing many different things, not only has the path of life been different, but even his appearance has changed! ”

Xiaomi quietly listened to what her father said, her brows furrowed, and she didn't seem to understand much. But soon her brow widened, and the corners of her mouth smiled. She understood what her father said with a high degree of comprehension.

"So in different worlds, you will have different appearances. There is a saying, the Buddha has the appearance of all beings. There is also a saying that everyone has Buddha nature. In this way, everyone is actually a Buddha in the first place, but because of their different experiences, they have a very different appearance. Bringing together all these different beings in the world is the Buddha himself? "Grandpa felt that the mystery of all things in the world was right in front of him, within reach.

This thought made the confusion that Grandpa had encountered when he studied the Xuanhuang Art gradually become clearer, as if the various strange techniques that were ever-changing in form, but their essence or purpose had not changed at all.

Xiaomi couldn't understand what her father said later, so she turned her head sideways and asked, "Ma Xiucai, what kind of beings and Buddhas are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

Grandpa came back to his senses from his reverie, smiled and said to Xiaomi: "You slowly learn what I taught you, and you will understand in the end." ”

"Hmm!" Xiaomi nodded vigorously.

"That's right. I have something to give back to you. Grandpa took out Xie Xiaomi's blood-colored jade bracelet from his arms.

"Give it back to me?"

"Oh, no, I gave it to you, you have to wear it well." Grandpa grabbed Xiaomi's hand and put the jade bracelet on her wrist. He accidentally lost his words just now, for fear that this would wake up Xiaomi's Alayya consciousness. This jade bracelet ran out of energy when the fog crossed the river, and it has become an ordinary jade bracelet, so my father can rest assured that he will return it to Xiaomi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiaomi put it on, he said: "It matches me well, as if I had this bracelet before." ”

Daddy didn't talk.

One afternoon, my grandfather taught Millet to read a few ancient poems and then asked Millet to get a fishing rod. Millet happily went to get the fishing rod. Although her father took her fishing almost every day, she was rejoicing every time.

Grandpa carried a small wooden bucket, and Millet carried a fishing rod. The two walked towards the old river together.

Grandpa walked along the bank of the old river for some distance and sat down in a place where the water flow was slower and the water surface was wider. As soon as he sat down, a drop of water fell from the sky and landed on the tip of his grandfather's pen.

Daddy looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and there was not a hint of rain. This drop of water came very strangely. Grandpa remembered what Monk Sanen said, "Don't move, don't occupy, don't occupy because of things", so he used the method he taught to predict it. After the mental arithmetic, Grandpa frowned and wanted to put away the fishing rod and leave, but when he saw Millet happily throwing wine-flavored rice bran into the water to lure the fish, he sat down again.

Seeing that her grandfather stood up and sat down again, she put down the rice bran balls that smelled of wine, walked over and asked, "Ma Xiucai, don't you want to fish today?" ”

"No, I don't. I just had sore legs, so I stood up and moved. Daddy said.

Millet said thoughtfully: "If you think fishing every day is boring, then you don't need to fish." Let's sit here for a while. On the day of your wedding, I got off the carriage from here, and as soon as I saw the river, I felt very kind, as if I had seen you for the first time. ”

Grandpa's heart felt bitter. He threw the hook with the earthworm into the old river, and the fish floated up. There is no connection between the rod and the float, only air.

"Xiaomi, you can stay away from the shore later." Grandpa saw that millet was too close to the water, and said worriedly. Grandpa has calculated that he will encounter danger later. He wanted to leave here immediately, but seeing that Xiaomi was so happy, he was reluctant to ruin her interest.

He didn't even hide from the weak king, how could he be afraid of a little danger?

After a while, the fish floated. Grandpa saw the opportunity, shook the fishing rod, and caught a Phnom Penh carp.

Millet hurriedly ran forward, took out the hook from the carp's mouth, and then held the fish and laughed, laughing for a long time before putting the carp into the small wooden barrel.

Grandpa thought to himself, this fishing rod made by Silky is good, fishing has never missed, and there are a lot of fish.

Daddy reloaded the earthworm and threw the hook into the distance.

Soon, the fish drift trembled again.

Xiaomi said excitedly: "Ma Xiucai, Ma Xiucai, there are fish pecking bait!" Her little face was flushed with excitement, like a peach blossom in early spring.

Grandpa whispered, "I know." Don't scare the fish away. ”

The millet chick pecked the rice and nodded.

The fish drift trembled more and more violently.

Xiaomi couldn't help but clench her fists again and said, "The fish has become smarter!" They only peck, they don't eat! Soon the earthworms on the hook will be pecked by them! ”

Daddy shushed. Xiaomi closed her mouth again, but her expression was still agitated.

Grandpa also thought it was a little strange, in the past, when fishing, the fish drift would sink to the bottom of the water after a few shakings. This means that the hook with the earthworm on it was swallowed by the fish and then taken to the depths of the water. Sometimes, the float will suddenly lie on the surface of the water, indicating that the fish that swallowed the bait did not go deeper, but swam up. Today, the fish floats up and down, but it doesn't sink or rise.

"Shake it off! Earthworms are going to be eaten! Millet shouted again.

Grandpa shook the fishing rod and clicked, and the middle section of the fishing rod actually cracked!

Fortunately, the bamboo has good toughness and continues to fold.

"Big fish!" Xiaomi clapped his palms and shouted.

Indeed, in general, a fish that can break a rod must have a lot of strength, and it is very heavy.

Grandpa was slightly shocked in his heart, he knew that although some places in this old river were very deep, after all, it was flowing water, not a library or a fish pond, and he couldn't raise many big fish. The rod suddenly broke, and if it wasn't caught in the crack of the stone, it was entangled in the aquatic weeds at the bottom of the water, or it was hanging on to something heavy.

Grandpa hurriedly pulled the fishing rod back and grabbed it directly. Silk's head was wrapped around the tip of the bamboo pole, and her father was not afraid of Silk's hand. He tugged at the silk hard.

A cyan sleeve floats out of the water!

Xiaomi was stunned.

Grandpa was also shocked, and secretly wondered, did he catch a corpse that floated downstream?

In a moment of surprise, the cyan sleeves suddenly sank down. The grandfather on the shore was caught off guard, and was dragged by the silk and almost planted in the old river.

Fortunately, Grandpa had a bit of work on his feet, and he calculated that there would be danger when he predicted it just now, so even though the cyan sleeves in the water suddenly exerted force, Grandpa still didn't fall into the water.

Daddy took a few steps forward, relieved the momentum, and then turned around, letting the silk wrap around him. The strength of one body is naturally much stronger than the strength of one hand. Daddy stood firm, squatted slightly, and then stepped back, pulling the blue sleeve out of the water like a slender man. The people on the shore can exert their strength with the help of the ground under their feet, but the things in the water have no place to exert their strength except their own strength. So in general, the water can't pull the shore. This is one of the reasons why the water ghost does not use ropes and other things to directly drag people into the water from a distance, but first lure people to the water's edge before taking them by surprise≥ but the water ghost is as powerful as an ox in the water, and it cannot directly confront the people on the shore.
