The small tube looked like silver, and it was taken out of the abdomen of Gu Qiu Lao Dao and erased the blood stains on it, shining brightly. Qiqi's movements were very skillful and quick, and after taking out the tube, he quickly sewed up the wound on Gu Qiu Laodao's abdomen, poured the wound medicine, and wrapped it tightly with a linen cloth.

"Brother." Qiqi sighed, smiled at me, and said, "This is the three-life diagram." ”

I didn't know what to do with this thing, so Qiqi opened the tube and pulled out a roll of silk yarn as thin as a cicada's wings. The thin silk yarn is silky satin-smooth and bright silver in color. Qiqi gently shook the three-life diagram away, and I saw the three Buddhas on the silk yarn.

"The Buddha who lit the lamp in the past, the Buddha Shakya in the present, and the Maitreya Buddha in the future." Qiqi looked at me and said, "This is the heirloom of the concept of three lives, and only a very few people can see their past and future lives from this picture." ”

"What do you think?"

"I don't know such a complicated way, in fact, the simplest way is also effective, brother, wait."

Qiqi took a copper basin next to the cloud bed, took water in it, put the three-life diagram in the basin, took a mirror and pressed it, closed the doors and windows, and the light in the room dimmed.

"You look at that mirror, everything in the three-life picture can be refracted on the mirror. This is the quietest place in the whole Sansheng Temple, I don't speak, no one will break in, you watch slowly. Qiqi paced to the door, as if guarding the door for me, and turned his face away, no longer looking at the movement on my side.

The mirror in the copper basin kept changing with the slight undulation of the water surface, it was an ordinary mirror, and my eyes were also fluttering, staring at the water surface for a long time. Before I knew it, the ordinary mirror seemed to give birth to an indescribable magic, attracting all my eyes.

The gaze began to blur, then clear, alternating back and forth many times, the water rippled around, and the mirror slowly scattered a silvery white light at the bottom of the water. My brain was a little dizzy, and I forgot where I was.

Suddenly, my eyes seemed to be completely clear, and I saw a figure appear in the mirror, and the figure was at first sideways, and the clouds were shrouded under my feet, like a cloud. The figure strode along, and his face gradually appeared in front of him. My mind was dizzy, but my mind was clear, and I recognized it as me.

If I'm not mistaken, the Buddha who lit the lamp in the past reflected the past life. I saw the figure in the mirror without pause or hesitation, walking in a floating auspicious cloud. I looked closely, trying to tell what it was, and whether there were anyone else around, but there was nothing but a cloud and me from my previous life.

The water surface of the copper basin shook suddenly, and everything in the mirror instantly shattered and disappeared like foam, and the vision was still blurred.

It was an endless expanse of water, yellowish, rushing and turbid, and I saw a figure in the water, a man standing in a small boat that drifted with the current. The boat was drifting, and soon it passed in front of me, and I saw that it was me. This is the second scene, which undoubtedly reflects the present Buddha Shakyamuni on the three-life diagram, which symbolizes this life. In this life, I will always float in a small boat in the big river?

I didn't have much time to think, and when the boat in the mirror carried the figure away with the waves, the waves of the copper basin shook again. According to this law, the third appearance should be the future Maitreya Buddha in the three-life diagram, which means the afterlife.

What does the future look like? I don't know, but when the light and shadow in the mirror appeared for the third time, I couldn't help but get nervous, people's fears, many times come from the unknown tomorrow, because they, like me, don't know what will happen tomorrow.

The water waves swayed with the mirror, and an ordinary and wide road appeared in the mirror, which was a very ordinary road on the Yellow River beach, with the remnants of the river and the sediment, and the road did not know where it extended. "I" appeared on this road, walking fast and at the same time steady. On the road, my chest was straight, there was no expression on my face, and I couldn't see joy or sorrow.

However, when the figure in the mirror walks in front of me, I can feel that there is a peaceful and silent tranquility on the face of "me", like a landscape and pastoral, the clouds are light and the wind is light, as if the great virtuous monk who has penetrated the truth, and the five thoughts of anger and joy are not there.

In the blink of an eye, the figure walking on the road became farther and farther away, so faint that it was invisible. The mirror was a vigorous silver light, which suddenly woke up my chaotic mind. Both the copper basin and the mirror returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. I groaned, I could see everything reflected in the three-life diagram very clearly, Qiqi said, maybe through the past life and future life, I could understand some things, but I was confused, I didn't know what that meant.

In my previous life, I walked in the clouds, in this life, I walked in the water, and in the future, I walked on the road

It took a long time before Qiqi slowly turned his head and said, "Brother, have you seen it clearly?" Have you seen your past life and future life clearly? ”

"See." I lowered my head and thought, although I didn't understand the scene in the mirror, and even felt that it was a bit illusory and ethereal, but I didn't even doubt it at all, I believed that it was a portrayal of my three lives.

If a person really has three lives, then among the three lives, each life must be very fulfilling, the sorrow of each life, the joy of each life, the separation of life and death in each life, and the passing of each life, everyone will imagine what their past life is like and what the next life will be like, but when he really sees the past life and the next life, he will find that it is really nothingness to the extreme, and nothingness is so empty that nothing exists.

"Leave me alone." I felt more confused than I had ever felt before, and there was a faint sense of pressure.

"Okay, you go out and take a walk in the concept of three lives." Qiqi said: "Gu Qiu originally had two days to live, but now that he is like this, he may soon be feathered, I am waiting for his last words here, brother, you go for a walk." ”

I glanced at Qiqi, and I thought that it would be a life-and-death struggle when I arrived at the Three Lives Concept, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. I pushed open the door, the big-headed Buddha was holding back his anger, and the Taoist priest of the Three Lives Temple frowned coldly, I waved his hand to him, and sat aside silently. Everything reflected in the three-life diagram keeps coming to mind, and I know that the three-life picture will not be so simple, but now I can't understand that.

This sitting is a long time, and my mind can't help but fly. In a trance, Qiqi didn't know when he gently walked up to me and patted me. I turned my head, she seemed to be able to see the confusion in my eyes, squatted beside me, and said: "For Sansheng, I can't see it clearly now, and I don't necessarily see it clearly in the future, brother, you will understand, sooner or later." Only then can you understand that this grudge has lasted for an unknown number of years, and you, everything, is not without reason. ”

"Can you read it?"

"Only those who have seen it with their own eyes will understand." Qiqi patted me and said, "Gu Qiu Yuhua, okay, brother, you come with me, there are still some words that have not been finished." ”

Qiqi turned around and walked back to the house, I couldn't control myself anymore, and slowly followed, after entering the house, she closed the door with her backhand.

"What else to say?"

"These are not things I want to say, but he wants to say them to you." Qiqi pointed to Gu Qiu Lao Dao, who had died on the cloud bed, and said: "Gu Qiu cultivated half of the dark eye, and when he walked between yin and yang, he could see some things, I asked him to look at you, and he left a few words, do you want to listen?" ”

I was a little confused when I heard these words, and vaguely, I felt as if Gu Qiu Lao Dao could see something between life and death.

"What did he say?"

He said, if you miss someone in your previous life, if you miss it again in this life, then there will definitely be no more in the next life. He said, your luck from this time after this time is a blur, to the age of thirty, abruptly stopped, brother, don't be sad. ”

"Nothing upset." I immediately understood what Qiqi wanted to express, my life character had been moved since I was very young, and that tail was cut again, and I was destined to not live long. She's just telling me that I won't live to be thirty.

"He said, If thou live, thou live, and if thou die, thou shalt surely die at the hand of a man close to you."

"What else?"

"Nothing else, isn't that enough?" Qiqi sighed and said, "Brother, don't ask anything else, if I can say it, I won't let you ask several times in a row." You go, Qiqi let you go today, just because you used to be good to me, and the next time we meet, what will you and I look like, even I can't tell. ”

I was silent for a long time, I really didn't know how to ask her again, and the words had come to this point, and Qiqi gave me an answer that was not the answer. I don't know who she's become now, but it's certainly not the Qiqi she used to be.

I turned around and pushed open the door, and the big-headed Buddha was waiting outside very impatiently, and when he saw me, he beckoned me to go, saying that if he waited a little longer, he couldn't help but beat all these Taoist priests to pieces. I felt like I had a dream, my steps were very heavy, and I slowly followed behind the Buddha, not daring to look back, lest I look back, and my heart would be even more chaotic.

All the way to the gate where the Sanshengguan collapsed, I heard Qiqi shouting from behind.

"Brother, you wait!"

She ran over alone, looking at her figure, as if she saw the Qiqi who would blush when talking to the living. She ran all the way up to me, opened her mouth, but didn't speak, slowly lowered her head, as if thinking about something, and after a while, when she looked up, her eyes were already wet, although the corners of her mouth were still smiling.

"Brother, I just want to ask you, if we become inseparable enemies in the future, will you kill me?"

I couldn't answer, I just felt my heart jerk suddenly, I don't know why my heart hurts, this familiar and strange person, like a spell, is deeply imprinted in my heart.

"Brother, don't embarrass you, I know you can't answer." The tears in Qiqi's eyes flashed and she couldn't see it, she smiled again, pulled me, put it to my ear, and whispered: "After leaving here, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the octagonal tower of Tongling Mountain, where is there a person you want to see." ”
