According to Master Cheng, it turned out that the eight-fingered Buddha was General Peng Yulin, who established the Yangtze River Water Division of the Hunan Army more than 100 years ago, and was known as Xue Shuai. Aunt Mei was originally the adopted daughter of Xue Shuai's grandmother, named Aunt Mei, but for the convenience of telling the story, Cheng Fuzi was still called Aunt Mei. According to the generation, Xue Shuai should call Aunt Mei who is about the same age as her aunt, and they have been in love for a long time in their childhood sweethearts, but the love between the two was opposed by the grandmother with a serious concept of etiquette, and finally after several twists and turns, they were finally married. But the good times didn't last long, Aunt Mei passed away soon after getting married, in order to commemorate Aunt Mei, Xue Shuai vowed to paint Mei every day in her lifetime. Because of his infatuation and noble qualities, he moved Mother Wei, and gave Canglu Immortal Tea to the two. Now that it is the third life of Xue Shuai and the fourth life of Aunt Mei, Xue Shuai still insists on painting Mei every day, and has pinned his thoughts on Aunt Mei.

But as Master Cheng said, Xue Shuai didn't know about Aunt Mei's existence, and Aunt Mei didn't dare to disturb Xue Shuai, who had escaped into the empty door, he was waiting for her, but she was worried about insulting his reputation as an eight-fingered Buddha. So the two were at a stalemate, suffering from each other.

After listening to the story, Cheng Liu said, "Why don't you let your grandfather go and test it?" Just like you asked me. ”

Cheng Fuzi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it should have been like this a long time ago." ”

Aunt Mei said: "I still don't want it, don't delay his Qing cultivation, I finally have the third generation of cultivation, I don't want him to be ruined because of me." ”

Master Cheng said, "In that case, why don't you ask the Taoist to give him an antidote?" So that he can enter samsara and become a Buddha as soon as possible? ”

Aunt Mei paused for a long time and said, "It's my selfishness and reluctance. ”

Chengliu said: "I can understand the pain of the Buddha, life is better than death, and there will be no liberation." ”

Whenever the topic touched the eight-fingered Buddha, Aunt Mei's tears couldn't stop gushing out. Aunt Mei wiped her tears and did not speak. Chengliu continued: "Actually, your escape from the sea of suffering depends on your words. If he is waiting for you, they will all rejoice when they see you. If he has escaped into the empty gate, he will ask for an antidote, abolish the power of immortality, and help him enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible. What results are needed, grandpa will know as soon as he tries it. ”

Cheng Fuzi said: "As long as Aunt Mei nods, I am willing to serve." Aunt Mei was still silent.

Cheng Liudao: "It seems that immortality is not necessarily a good thing, Wei Daochang gave the elixir to the Buddha, but it caused him to fall into misery." ”

Master Cheng said: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." ”

Cheng Liudao: "Grandpa, you should do what you want, don't do to others." The pain of love hurts more than the pain of hurting. ”

Cheng Fuzi said: "Profound." The grandfather and grandson sang and harmonized.

Cheng Liudao: "I'll come." Only those who don't know can talk about it. Aunt Mei, if you don't object, I'll test it. Cheng Liu saw that Aunt Mei didn't say anything, so he changed his way. Aunt May still didn't respond.

Master Cheng gave Cheng Liu a thumbs up, meaning to say, "You're still smart." ”

Aunt Mei wiped her tears and finally spoke: "Wait until I come back from the United States." ”

Chengliu was surprised: "It's been at least four years!" ”

Aunt Mei said: "I've waited for three lifetimes, is there still four years left?" ”

Cheng Liudao: "Maybe longer, what if Liu Nan doesn't come back?" ”

Aunt Mei said: "That is, we have no fate in this life." ”

Cheng Liudao: "He will still come back to the temple to wait for you in the next life, and the next life will be the Seven-Fingered Buddha." Aunt Mei suddenly remembered that the second life of the Eight-Fingered Buddha burned off one finger, and in this life burned off two fingers, maybe in the next life, as Chengliu said, he would burn off three fingers. Aunt Mei didn't want to see the Eight-Fingered Buddha destroy himself, but if she recognized him, she was afraid that he would worry about himself in the United States, and even more afraid that he would really have escaped into the empty door, which was the result that she didn't dare to face.

Chengliu said again: "In these lives, you are also looking for her, right?" ”

Aunt Mei nodded and said, "He said before my first life that when I left, he would be an old monk in Nanyue." ”

Cheng Liudao: "So, what is the point of you looking for him?" ”

Aunt Mei said: "When I see him, I am satisfied. ”

Cheng Liudao: "Have you ever thought about his thoughts? It's all up to your guess, and the Buddha will be in the pain of a lifetime. Why not ask? I promise that no matter what the result is, I will never tell the Buddha about your existence until you agree to recognize him. ”

Aunt Mei hesitated and said, "It's me...... It was my fear of hearing that he had escaped through the empty door. ”

Chengliu suddenly woke up, if that is the result, in Aunt Mei's opinion, wouldn't it be equivalent to living a few lives in vain? After several lifetimes of searching and waiting for several lifetimes, in the end it was a vain. Therefore, Aunt Mei is unwilling and afraid to find the answer, and this mystery has become the last motivation for her life. Her life has become a big gamble, the longer the answer is hidden, the bigger the bet, the bigger the bet, the more she can't afford to lose, she can't afford to lose, and she will never dare to see the hole cards.

Cheng Fuzi also seemed to think of the joint, and said, "So that's the case." ”

Cheng Liu said again: "Are you afraid that you can't afford to lose?" ”

Aunt Mei nodded and said, "I'm afraid." ”

Cheng Liudao: "But what you are doing now is even more cruel than the revenge after losing." Guarding his faith, but not letting go of his faith, at the end of the day, you are still selfish, you only think about your own feelings, and you don't love him. ”

Aunt Mei said: "I asked the Taoist chief for two antidotes to relieve each other. ”

Cheng Liudao: "That would be equivalent to admitting defeat directly!" At the very least, you need to know the mystery first. Aunt Mei was silent for a long time, as if she had figured out something, she frowned, and said to Chengliu: "Thank you, Chengliu." I've lived four lifetimes, and I haven't lived as well as you. I shouldn't be so selfish as to drag him down. If he loses, he loses, at least he can be freed. ”

Cheng Liudao: "Admit defeat? Cheng Liu thought that he had persuaded Aunt Mei to promise to test the Eight-Fingered Buddha, but he didn't expect that he persuaded her to a dead end. He thought to himself that only by persecuting the eight-fingered Buddha could he make her turn back, so he continued, "If the Buddha has been waiting for you, but you directly admit defeat and don't meet him, then wouldn't he have lived in vain in these three lives?" ”

Cheng Fuzi echoed: "Selfish, still selfish." You don't have the right to decide what his cause and effect are. Unless, you don't love him anymore. ”

Aunt Mei said: "I love him even if I die." ”

Cheng Liudao: "Then you don't want to accompany him." ”

Aunt Mei said: "Of course I do, I am willing to die for him." ”

Cheng Liudao: "Then why do you want to end his waiting and end your poignant love?" Since you are not afraid of losing, you are willing to accompany him, which means that you can accept both results, right? ”

Aunt Mei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No matter what the outcome, it's up to you to decide whether to tell him about my existence or not." Nariyu continued, "Then leave the rest to me." Whether it is life or death, we will wait for the mystery to decide. ”

Aunt Mei acquiesced, Master Cheng nodded happily, if it weren't for Aunt Mei's presence, she couldn't wait to pick up Cheng Liu. After a moment of silence, Aunt Mei suddenly said, "The Taoist chief wants us to guide Chengliu to sneak into Zeng's house, I don't think it's necessary." for he is far wiser than we are. ”

Cheng Liu said modestly: "I am also a picker. ”

Cheng Fuzi said: "To be too modest is to be arrogant. ”

Aunt Mei said: "You can make the plan for the future, and we will cooperate and obey." ”

Cheng Liudao: "How dare you? ”

Aunt Mei said: "To be too modest is to be arrogant. Chengliu was no longer humble and stopped talking. After drinking the new tea, Aunt Mei sent him back to the temple. Chengliu, who had not slept all night, fell asleep.
