The universe is desolate, the sun, moon and stars, heaven and earth. People look at the world endlessly, people say that there is no end to heaven and earth, is there really no end to heaven and earth?

And what is beyond heaven and earth? No one is available to answer this question.

People say that the world is so big and vast that the snail has not been able to climb out of a radius of 100 miles in its lifetime. In his eyes, this radius of a hundred miles is boundless, like heaven and earth.

People say that time flies like a white horse, with a snap of a finger, but floating can only live for seven days, and in his eyes, the longevity of human beings seems to be endless.

All things stand up, but only human beings have opened their minds, so that human beings stand proudly above all other things and rule over all things.

People look at the heavens and the earth, and explore why there is the sun and the moon, why there is day, why there are four hours, why there is wind, rain, snow, and fog.

Where all things originate, where do they originate. Whether the sun and moon can be controlled, whether the stars can be picked or not, whether the four o'clock can be changed, whether the wind, rain, snow, and fog can be called, and whether it is waved or not......

It is rumored that the heaven and the earth are endless, although there is no longevity, but there is also a self-calamity, a calamity is a jiazi ten thousand years, it is rumored that the heaven and the earth will have a calamity every 600,000 years, destroying the heavens and the earth, all things will be destroyed, and then reborn, and the cycle will start again and again, and the life will be endless. can reincarnate in the Heavenly Dao......

A summer cicada on the towering ancient tree was chirping, but it didn't know that a praying mantis was already beside it, slowly approaching, waving the mantis knife in his hand, and stabbing into the summer cicada's body with a slight knife, and then gnawed its prey. Unbeknownst to me, at the top of the ancient tree, a yellow finch had already seen it in its eyes, spread its wings and swept it down, and with a slight sweep, it took the praying mantis and the summer cicada into its mouth and wrapped it in its belly.

Under the ancient number, there were two people, engrossed, taking in the battle of these birds and insects. The person on the left is wearing a white shirt, he is a handsome young man, the white shirt is very white, the white shirt is very clean, there should be few white shirts so white in the world. The man's hair was combed, and every strand of hair seemed to be carefully groomed, meticulous and methodical. There was not a trace of miscellaneous hair leaking out of the Daoji. The man's face was a little thin, the bridge of his nose was high, and his eyes had a resolute look. There was no rain today, the sun was shining, but the man was holding an umbrella in his hand, the umbrella was a white paper oil umbrella, and the same as the clothes, the white paper oil umbrella was extremely clear.

The man on the right, also a young man, was dressed in a shabby monk's robe, with half of his shoulders exposed, trouser legs of different heights, a pair of straw shoes with a few holes, and a few toes exposed, the monk looked strange, with his ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands over his knees, like an ape. The young monk held a string of prayer beads in his hand, but the prayer beads were clean, transparent and shiny. There was a faint golden light.

"Praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches are behind, praying mantis is the tiger of insects, but there is no force to meet yellow finches, if the yellow finch meets the eagle is also the life of being caught by hand, the eagle soars thousands of miles, but there are also things that are mutually restrained, so all things in the world have their own yin and yang harmony, one thing and one thing, no need to force it, this is the way to govern the world without doing anything. The white-shirted young man said. It seems to be saying to himself, but also to the young monk on the side.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada as the cause, the yellow finch is the result of the result, the yellow finch eats the mantis as the cause, the eagle swallows the yellow finch as the fruit, this is the cause and effect of the yellow finch, the eagle will one day become the plate of other things, this is the cause and effect of the eagle, the reason of heaven is clear, the retribution is unpleasant, and the heaven and earth have their own cause and effect. The young monk seemed to be saying to himself, and also to the young man in white shirt beside him.

One of the two is talking about Taoism, and the other is playing Zen. Each has its own obscurity.

"Can there be cause and effect in the catastrophe of heaven and earth?" the white-shirted young man asked, pointing to the sky.

"You and I are cause and effect. The young monk was humane. The eyes are full of blazing heat.

"The wind and thunder don't move, but you don't do anything?" the young monk looked at the ground and was confused.

"Before the sunshine, there is wind and thunder. The white-shirted young man said. The eyes are unusually resolute.

The white-shirted young man came from the Qingyunguan in the east, and the citizens of the thirty-six countries in the east were all dedicated to seeking the Tao, but the white-shirted young man went all the way to the west, and the young monk came from the Wuliang Temple in the Western Regions, and all the countries in the Western Regions were submerged in the Buddha, but the young monk came all the way to the east. The young men in white shirts went from east to west, and the young monks went to Dahua, the most prosperous and wealthy place on the mainland. One is to speak the Tao, one is to recite the Buddha, one is to preach non-action, and the other is to talk about cause and effect.

In the fifteenth year of Dahua Chengyuan, Bai Qiyu, the first disciple of Qingyunguan in the east, entered Luoyang with one person and one umbrella.

In the fifteenth year of Dahua Chengyuan, the monk Ming of Wuliang Temple in the Western Regions entered Chang'an with one person and one pearl.

Above the blue sky, several eagles spread their wings and hovered between the sky and the earth, occasionally letting out a few low eagle chirps. It seems to be swearing in its own airspace.

Under the clear sky, on a field, more than a dozen children, all covered in mud and disheveled, ran and shouted, waving the tree poles in their hands and gently tapping each other.

"Okay, okay, you've lost. One of the tall and fat children muttered, "Your Emperor has been stabbed several times by us, and you have lost." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Several children on the fat side responded, appreciating the suggestion made by the fat child.

Obviously, the dozen or so children were playing the game of soldiers and thieves that the children of the village often played. And the little emperor who played the pawn side was stabbed several times by them, so he felt that the children on the pawn side had lost.

The children who played the soldier side were a little deflated, although it was just a game, but winning or losing was really a very important thing for these children, just like the so-called dignity of adults, and the children also had their own things to care about.

"Xiaolin, every time you pretend to be the emperor, but you can't run fast, we lose every time. At this time, one of the children on the losing side began to blame the child Xiaolin who played the emperor, and the child who played the emperor Xiaolin was very white, and was obviously much cleaner than these swarthy peasant children, although they were also covered in mud from playing, but they were much better dressed than these children. It is said that Xiaolin's family moved from other places, and Xiaolin's parents have never been seen working as farmers, but the food and clothing are much better than ordinary people, it is said that even the county lord has come to visit several times, and the people in the village say that Xiaolin's father must be a hermit.

But children are innocent and don't care about respect and status.

Faced with the blame of his friends, Xiaolin, the child who played the emperor, lowered his head a little frustratedly, played with his fingers by himself, and said nothing.

"I think so, it's better for me Li Tassel to play the emperor, how about it. The speaker was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in a torn robe, and it is said that his ancestors had been Confucian before, had read books, and had been officials, and then his family had fallen into decline.

But he never forgot the ancestral teachings, hoping that there would be a great literati among the younger generations, a great Confucian student, this torn robe is said to have been worn by his grandfather and father, and I don't know how many times it has been changed, and it is a little nondescript to wear on Xiao Li Tassel. The biggest wish of the family is to have another Confucian son and glorify the ancestors.

Xiao Li Tassel is very clever, especially a pair of smart eyes, relying on listening to some historical stories, he has become a military adviser type character among his friends. In the eyes of these ignorant children, Li Tassel naturally became very knowledgeable in history, and some historical celebrities were also like treasures. Naturally, these children are very respectful.

"But you are my prime minister, and if you want to be the emperor, then what should I do? The little emperor Xiao Lin'er protested in a small voice unhappily.

"That's right, he's so stupid, he can't fight. What else can you be besides being an emperor. A few of the children on the other side began to chimed in.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just be it once, see if we can win, otherwise we will always lose to this dead fat man, how embarrassing, so that I will be the emperor, and I will make you kings, how about it?" Li Liusu smiled slyly.

"Be the king?" a few children who had been tempted by the interests had already begun to move, and they had not begun to have the same questioning attitude as before

"You are the king of Zhou, you are the king of Qi, you are the king of the east, eh, eh, you ....." Li Liu began to crown these friends one by one, "When we defeat them, these and those lands will be rewarded to you." Li Liusu casually pointed to a few distant hills.

"Agree, agree," a few children who had been crowned kings and promised to receive land rewards immediately began to support Li Tassel as emperor.

Li Liusu nodded proudly and said to the tall fat child, "Then let's play another game." "It looks like the winner is in hand.

"So what am I going to do? Xiaolin, a white child who was already disliked by everyone, asked weakly in a low voice, he naturally didn't want to be abandoned by his friends, although he often dragged his feet.

"You. Li Liu held his chin and thought for a while: "Be the crown prince, in case I am killed by them, the emperor will still hand it over to you." ”

"Haha, haha, then he is not your son. After listening to Li Tassel's words, the tall and fat child burst out laughing.

"Call Father, call Father. A few other tall and fat children, a few children on this side also began to coax, forcing Xiaolin to call Li Liusu's father.

"This, this. The moment the white child was ridiculed by them, his little face turned red and white, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Let's play, what's there to be afraid of, you don't need to call me a big deal, you can also call me emperor like them. Li Tassel said generously

"Call Father, call Father. The tall and fat children naturally did not give up, and several children made various grimaces and laughed.

"You guys are like this again, don't play, don't play, go home. Li Liusu deliberately pretended to be angry, and the children stopped coaxing, and the tall and fat child snorted a little unconvinced, thinking that no matter who you replaced, you would also lose. Because the tall and fat children have the most strength here.

"Let's get started. The tall boy said.

"Lend me your jade plate. Li Tassel said to Xiaolin.

"Jade?" Xiaolin immediately pinched the jade plaque around his neck through his clothes to make sure that the jade plaque was still there, "My mother said that this jade plaque is as important as my life, and it cannot be borrowed or taken off." Xiaolin shook his head and refused.

The reason why these children let Xiaolin be the emperor is the reason why he has this jade plate. To be an emperor, you naturally have to look a little bit, how can other children have something to handle. It became a token for the children.

"Don't be so stingy, lend him it. ”

"Yes, yes, lend it to him. ”

A few children wanted to play the game quickly, so naturally they all began to urge Xiaolin.

"However, my mother said that you can't borrow or take it off. Xiaolin's voice of resistance was a little weak and helpless, and what his mother said to him naturally had to be listened to. You can't take the jade plaque off at will.

"Then how to play, just lend me a belt, and I'll pay it back to you right away, you're so stingy. Li Liusu said a little unhappily, it is natural to do everything in the play, without this jade plate, naturally there is no sense of ritual at all.

"You can borrow him, stingy, or we won't take you to play," the tall and fat boy also helped Li Tassel to speak, and he didn't want to waste everyone's time because of such a small matter. was rejected by everyone, and he didn't take you to play this kind of killer feature, which naturally made Xiaolin start to be embarrassed, pulling the corners of his clothes, and being in a dilemma.

"Forget it, forget it, let's play by ourselves and don't bring him with us. ”

"Grinding and chirping, like a little girl. ”

The dissatisfied children decided to abandon Xiaolin and play on their own.

On the one hand, it was his mother's words, and on the other hand, he was going to be abandoned by everyone, looking at the little friends who were about to go away, Xiaolin bit his little lip, but still made a difficult decision, chased after him and said aggrievedly: "Then you have to keep it, you can't lose it, I can only borrow you to take it." Xiaolin carefully took off the jade plate and handed it over, very reluctant.

Li Tassel took the jade plate with satisfaction, this is a piece of transparent white jade, the back is smooth as a face, and the front is carved with a very peculiar beast, lifelike, I don't know what kind of animal it is, in short, everyone has never seen it. Li Tassel brought the jade plaque with satisfaction, and now he has become the emperor in a dignified manner, and the happy Lou passed Xiaolin's shoulder to show friendship, and Xiaolin, who was accepted by everyone again, also smiled happily.

The children were united again and began to run through the fields.......
