(10) Lonely night

Although the woman in white in front of her hair was wet from the rain and a little unkempt, she had the appearance of a captivating city.

The standard beauty face shape has a pair of bright eyes like deep autumn water, a small nose with cherry red lips, and a fairy spirit in the temperament, as if a heavenly maiden descended to earth.

Although today's "Heavenly Maiden" was a little embarrassed by the rain, the little monk could still recognize her as the beauty who carried a flower basket and danced in white that day.

The little monk saw that the white clothes on this beauty had been soaked, and they were all attached to the woman's body, and her graceful figure was even more visible.

The little monk was stunned again at this time, and when he found that the woman in front of him was smiling brightly at him, he realized that it was really unruly for him to stare at the woman as a monk. I panicked for a while and didn't know what to do.

"Donor, I'll go and get you a handkerchief for you to wash. The little monk rushed out of the door in a panic and almost stumbled on the threshold. He looked up at the butterfly embarrassedly, picked up an umbrella at the door, and hurriedly rushed out.

"This little monk is really interesting. Butterfly looked at the little monk's panicked appearance and held back a smile. She didn't know that the little monk had never seen such a stunning beauty as her.

Butterfly took advantage of the time when the little monk went out to look for her sister Moth in the Buddha hall.

After searching around the temple, I finally found the cocoon on the pillar behind the altar. She called out to the moth, but there was no response from the cocoon.

She thought that her sister might be cultivating inside, so she didn't think too much about continuing to pace in the temple.

Since the rain had been falling and had no intention of stopping, it was getting late, and the little monk had to let the butterfly stay here. However, monks should not have too much contact with women.

So the little monk invited the butterfly to live in the only guest bedroom in the temple, and he had to sleep in the main hall tonight, believing that the Buddha statue in the hall can also forgive his own kindness.

Seeing that the white clothes on the woman's body were soaked by the rain, the little monk took her a monk's robe of his own and said that if she didn't dislike it, she could change it to prevent cold.

That bedroom used to be the place where the little monk and the master slept together, but now he is alone, and he is strangely lonely.

(11) Dancing

At night, the little monk felt a little cool lying on the ground covered with only one layer of bedding and couldn't sleep. Tossing and turning, he got up and twisted the Buddha beads and silently recited the scriptures to calm his mind.

"Little Master, are you asleep? I can't sleep. A female voice like a silver bell sounded behind the little monk.

The little monk looked back, and it turned out to be the lovely butterfly, and she had now changed into that monk's robe.

Although it is an old man's clothes, the butterfly wears a little wide, but it still can't hide the beauty's exquisite appearance and good temperament.

"Donor...... How do you ......?"

"I can't sleep, so I want to come and see what you're doing, I don't know if it disturbed the little master's rest?"

"The donor is too worried, but you are different from the poor monks and men, and besides, it's late at night, so it's not appropriate......"

"I'm just a little girl, and I don't understand the rules of the world. ”

"......" The little monk didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'll give you a dance. ”

"Female benefactor, this is the ...... of the Buddha Temple"

"I'm jumping in the yard. ”

The little monk was speechless again. By this time, the rain outside had stopped, and the butterflies jumped and floated happily towards the courtyard.

In addition to pollen, nectar, and playing around, butterflies love to do the most is dancing.

Watching the beauties in the courtyard dance, dancing lightly and gracefully. The same white monk's robe, even if it is worn, is worn on this woman, like a white water lily floating between the ripples, full of beauty......

The little monk froze again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had never seen such a beautiful person, although many pilgrims who came to the temple to pray often praised his appearance.

(12) Accompaniment

For the next few days, the butterfly did not see the moth coming out of the cocoon. I thought that I still had to wait for my sister here, since the little monk saw his human form, it was better to always appear in the temple in human form.

Butterfly is an outlier who has not been in the world, she does not know much about the precepts that she should abide by as a monk, and she does not understand the etiquette of giving and receiving kisses between men and women.

She saw the little monk's often embarrassed state and humble and kind character, so she liked to be close to him.

After all, without the company of his sister, it would be too lonely for him to stay alone in the mountains.

The little monk also often emphasized the Buddhist teachings to the butterfly, but she just didn't listen. I still often talk to him, and when I am happy, I dance immediately, and sometimes I will pick bright flowers from the mountains and place them in the temple.

When the monk asked her why she didn't go home, she would make up some excuses.

The time of January flies, and Butterfly comes to the temple almost every day to look for the little monk. If I don't see him for a day, I feel as if something is missing in my heart, empty.

However, the little monk also felt the same way, he had already discovered the change in his heart, but he didn't want to admit the truth.

"Just call me Fluttershy. Butterfly smiled sweetly at the little monk, and then remembered that after being together for so long, they still didn't know each other's names.

"My name is Yikong. ”

Yikong realized that his Buddha heart was not firm, and he was involved in the red dust. I was ashamed to recall Master's deathbed instructions to me.

(13) Breaking the vows

On that day, Yikong burst into tears in front of the Buddha statue, and he was tired of crying and fell asleep.

That night, he also saw a person in his sleep, and that person was a kind and kind white-bearded old monk, who was his master.

The Master told himself that he had the destiny to become a Buddha, and if he devoted himself to the Buddha and devoted himself to Zen to the Buddha, he would be able to attain bliss when the time came.

But if you choose the red dust, you can't achieve a positive result.

As for what his heart desires, he needs to make his own choice.

In his dream, he asked Master, "Don't you blame him?"

Master said that it is not strange, although he is a monk, he was born as a human being, he is still young, and it is common to yearn for Hongchen. It's just that he has encountered a fate, a cycle of cause and effect, and may need to bear unknown consequences.

Her dance, her smile, her beauty were all deeply imprinted in his heart, yes, he could no longer devote himself to the Buddha and meditate.

In the end, he did not keep the precepts and rules, broke the precepts, and at night, he knelt in front of the Buddha statue all night, full of emotions.

(14) The human world

In the end, he continued to send it and returned the custom.

He and her flew together, spent more than a month affectionately, and decided to leave the temple together and go outside to start a new life.

At this time, falling in love, Butterfly, who had no intention of doing anything else, remembered her sister who was still cultivating in the cocoon, so she took her sister's cocoon with her and Yikong went to live in the outside world, and began their days of male farmer and female weaver husband and wife.

Like many myths, it doesn't take long for Ikku to discover Butterfly's true identity, and Butterfly confesses everything to him and Pang.

To her surprise, he didn't mind the fact that he was a demon.

Butterfly also told him about his sister Moth.

Only then did Yikong know that the moth that accompanied him back then was really a spiritual thing. It's just that he didn't expect that she was quite cultivated, and he was very grateful that Moth had spent that lonely and dark time with her.

After another three years, the moth finally broke out of its cocoon and woke up. It is also possible to transform into a woman in a relatively short period of time.

Although that appearance is not as immortal as the butterfly, it can be regarded as a beauty.

She begins to appreciate Butterfly's presence in her. But when she knew that her butterfly sister was already much better with the person she liked, she went crazy.

She thinks it's Butterfly who has betrayed!

She has been cultivating in a cocoon for years, but Butterfly has taken away her most beloved person! But she did not tell Butterfly about her pain and hatred.

She wants to be calm, she wants to pretend that she is fine, because she still wants to stay with her loved ones.

She decides to stay and live with Butterfly and Ikku.

Although there will be some inconvenience for three people living together. But they still accept her, because Yikong is well aware of the feelings of Butterfly and Moth. Butterfly also cares about this sister very much.

(15) Thorns

After the moth's beauty form is maintained for a period of time, the mana will become invalid, and it will often turn into a half-human moth form, which is very terrifying.

The few times he was seen by Yikong, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground or ran away in a panic.

Looking at Butterfly's appearance, I often wonder if I could pay more attention to myself if I had the beauty of hers.

She began to think about how she could keep herself in human form longer and more beautiful.

She learned of a forbidden technique through other demons that could maintain her appearance.

In this way, the thorny path laid by the moth for itself became darker and darker, and there was no end......

She confuses young men with her beauty outside from Butterfly and Oak, stuns them with moth powder, and then sucks their essence to maintain her human form and beauty.

She would suck half of her essence to prevent those people from dying, and she knew that if she killed someone, she would be punished if she was discovered by the overseers.

At first it was once a half month, then it became once every few days, and finally it was often once a day.

The reason why it is called forbidden art is because there is a price to pay for cultivating it, and if you use the forbidden technique for a long time, you will be counterattacked after cultivation. It is very likely that he will fall into the demon path in the future and will not be able to ascend to immortality.

Moth knew in his heart: The deep attachment of this Yikong monk and his obsession with forbidden cultivation because of his appearance were all the fateful calamities encountered by the person in his dream when he was a spirit insect many years ago, right?

(16) The Way of Heaven

After a few more years, Yikong began to suffer from a stubborn illness.

At first, he coughed, then he couldn't work, and then he was sick in bed and couldn't get off the ground, and butterflies and moths took turns to take care of him.

Butterflies wash their faces with tears all day long.

Medicine, channeling spiritual power, searching for fairy grass...... She tried all kinds of ways to renew Yikong's life, but she still couldn't fight his illness. But she still refused to give up, and always hoped that he could get better.

Moth was desperate, and at this point, he felt that Yikong's illness was incurable.

For so many years, she has been using forbidden techniques to maintain her beauty because of her obsession with Yikong, but when she knew that his time was running out, she felt that she suddenly lost her desire for beauty and yearning for life.

She didn't say goodbye to Butterfly and Imaku. At first, he returned to the temple and stayed there by himself all day, without drinking or eating or sucking human spirit.

Without the support of her spirit, she lost her beautiful human form and reverted back to her half-human, half-moth form.
