14 Sea of Fire

After listening to Luo Xiang's dream, he patted his thigh and waved his hand again and again:

"How can you count the things in your dreams? It doesn't count as a transgression, it doesn't count as a ......"

Luo Xiang clasped his hands together and said:

"Although it is a dream, if it is not a heartbeat, how can there be a dream? People in Buddhism, all of them are sins. ”

Although the origin is small, he has been studying the precepts for several years, and he said at a glance:

"But the Master said that the precepts are all in the body and mind of the arhats, and if there is no lust and no pleasure in fornication, then it is not considered a violation of the precepts."

"Senior brother is in a dream, in a dream, but, can get...... Come on, kinky pleasure? A few words that are difficult to speak, the little novice said it in a hurry, and the roots of his ears were red.

Luo Xiang shook his head and said:

"There is only fear, but there is no joy."

Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and clapped his hands:

"He who is not happy, he is not guilty. Senior brother just suffered a nightmare, how can it be regarded as a transgression? Besides, it was the king of Uzi who had a bad mind and drugged his senior brother in the water last night, and he was forced by such a strong force that he would not be considered a transgressor! ”

Luo Xiang looked indifferent, lowered his eyes and said:

"When the royal court is done, I will go back to the Ming Master's Gate, ask the master for his guilt, and I should be decided by the Discipline Academy."

Seeing his solemn face, he sighed that his senior brother had always been strict with the precepts, and the elders of the Discipline Academy had praised him in the past, and he was really a model of a teacher.

It's just a dream, so why bother? But I heard people say that there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night......

He didn't dare to ask, who is the person in his brother's dream?

Although he didn't ask, a figure suddenly popped up in his mind. As long as that person appears, the light shines brightly, and he will definitely not lose to the twenty-eight members of the Guanyin Golden Lotus, which is famous for its beauty.

Yuan Qi was in a trance, but suddenly heard Luo Xiang open his mouth and read a sentence:

"All the vows of fornication that break the vows of the Brahmans are the most serious sins and will be forever abandoned by the Dharma, and they will fall into Infernal Purgatory."

Yuan Qi raised his eyes and saw Luo Xiang's thick eyebrows slightly locked, and his face was worried, even more sad than Fang Caiyan said that he had violated the precepts.

His senior brother has always had a weak temperament and is not shocked by humiliation, and he has never seen a teacher like this.

Yes, the woman who is filthy and has practiced Brahmanism, if she is a Yama, will suffer from reincarnation, and will live forever and forever.

Among the teachers, many years ago, there was a senior brother who was seduced by a young woman, and the woman was spurned by the believers of Buddhism, and then she was dismembered and died, and the death was extremely tragic.

Yuan Qi remembered this old incident, and couldn't help but say a few more words of "Amitabha" to calm his mind. He looked at Luo Xiang's independent back and couldn't help but guess:

Was he worried that the woman in his dream would go to hell?

Luo Xiang pondered for a long time.

In the dream, he was like watching the fire from the other side, and when he saw himself and the woman doing clouds and rain, he woke up with palpitations and cold sweat. The woman had a peach face, delicate and tactful, but she was full of anger and evil thoughts.

He shook his head, trying to get the illusion out of his mind.

But there was a voice in his heart that told him.

It's not a dream, it's not an illusion.

He should find her and cross her.

……

Luo Chaolu returned all the way back to the dormitory, stood for a long time, and his heart was agitated.

She didn't know what she was angry about.

She was humiliated, but the Buddha promised to protect her.

She wanted to leave the palace, and the Buddha overcame all difficulties and laid out all the best strategies for her.

Everything is clearly going according to her plan, why is she so impetuous?

Chao Lu stared at the silent woman in the bronze mirror, shook off her arms suddenly, and pushed the makeup on the golden hairpin, beads, rouge and gouache, and the bronze mirror to the ground.

Broken and broken, broken and broken, all over the place.

The sound of "Chang Chang" was not small, and the maid Biyue hurried over, saw her in the hall, and said:

"The princess has just ordered Her Royal Highness to stay in her palace tonight and not to enter or leave."

Chaolu turned around and asked suspiciously:

"Didn't you release me from confinement? Grandma so I don't have to go to the Buddha hall tonight? ”

"Commanded from above. The slave did not dare not pass it on. ”

Chaolu frowned, silently picked up a broken hairpin from the ground, and stroked the rough crack on it, thoughtfully.

She felt a little strange in her heart, and then asked:

"Is there anything new on the king's side?"

Today, the king was furious, because a large number of Buddhas outside the city wanted to welcome the Buddha's son, and there was a conflict with the soldiers defending the city. The two sides quarreled, and the monks invited them to visit the palace ten days later at the time of the king's banquet. The king refused to agree, but only after repeated admonition from the princess did he agree. ”

Ten days later, it was the day Luo Xiang arranged for her to leave the palace. It was originally a way for the monks to build momentum and ask for her to escape.

"At this time, the king was still furious in the palace, and said that he was going to cut the Buddha with a knife......"

Chaolu sneered in his heart, but Fan Luo Sumi has the courage to kill people, and he doesn't have to get this Uzi throne today.

If you want to kill Luo Xiang, you must not only succeed with one blow, but also leave no traces, and you can't find the slightest mistake, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and maybe the entire Uzi country will be destroyed because of this.

Thinking of this, her heart jumped, and an inexplicable thought suddenly moved. She asked:

"Have you seen Zou Yun in my palace?"

"I haven't seen it today, but I heard that there is something important."

Chaolu was inexplicably uneasy in his heart, pacing back and forth in the court, walking around the steps.

The wind blew through, and the octagonal palace lamp hanging from the thin rope under the porch on the eaves swayed, and the fireflies in it were faint as stars, and suddenly it dimmed, and a wisp of green smoke curled out and dispersed.

She looked up at the sky.

Under the dome, the night sky is clear and bright, and the layers of clouds are sparse, as if crushed by the wind, like the fine scales of pond fish, and like cotton wool scattered.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of miles away, the mountains are covered in the night, and from time to time there is a flash of lightning and silver light, and rumbling thunder follows.

Spring thunder was originally a common thing, but today it made her heart beat even more.

"Your Highness, where are you going, is there a ban in the palace today......"

Chaolu ignored the dissuasion and ran out.

All the way through the royal court, she suddenly felt that tonight was quite unusual. Even the guards of the royal palace, which were the most heavily guarded in the past, were sparse and sparse, and it seemed that they had been drawn troops.

The rows of palace lamps receded, and the lights were as dim as dark as the eyes.

But there are still fireworks dancing in front of you. Chaolu slowly looked up.

A large black smoke accompanied by the light of the fire that rose to the sky reflected her pale face.

That direction is, the Buddha Hall.

Buddha ......

***

The black-pressed armor soldiers spread out around the entire Buddha hall like a tide, and the water could not be drained, and not even a single fly could fly out.

On everyone's face, the light of the fire burning in the nave was reflected, but everyone did not move, and they were stubbornly guarded.

Zou Yun was dressed in a battle robe and held a halberd in his hand, patrolling a circle of guards who were waiting for him.

From time to time, there was the wailing and mournful cry of the monks running around, and his face was calm, and the eight winds did not move, standing under the wall, quietly looking at the sky in the distance, counting the hours.

"Chief Guard! Someone trespassed on the Buddha hall and couldn't stop it! The subordinates came in a panic to report.

"Who is so bold?" Zou Yun frowned.

"Yes, it's Her Royal Highness!" The subordinates kowtowed, but before they got up, they saw that Zou Yun had already rushed away.

Before Zou Yun arrived at the scene, he heard the sound of "whoosh-whoosh-" and broke through the air.

Long whips rose into the air like silver snakes and dragons, and when they fell, they stirred up thousands of dust, sand and gravel splashes, and beat the people who stood in the way to the bitterness.

I saw the girl in red holding a long whip in her hand, and she had beaten a group of guards.

With every step she takes, she has to whip her way away. A steady stream of guards came up and surrounded the girl, and although they didn't dare to touch her, they couldn't make her enter the door wall smoothly.

When everyone saw Zou Yun coming, they prayed as if they had been pardoned:

"Chief Guard! This...... I can't stop that. ”

Zou Yun was silent, strode forward, jumped slightly, waved his strong arm, grabbed the long whip that was walking in the air, and clenched it in his palm.

Chao Lu was restrained, couldn't wave the long whip, looked sideways, and saw Zou Yun holding her whip with one hand, kneeling down to support the ground with the other, and said:

"Your Highness, offended ......"

"General Zou, you came just in time, the Buddha hall caught fire, you have so many soldiers, why don't you save it?"

Zou Yun didn't answer, buried his head, and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, please return."

Chaolu looked at him coldly, rolled up the long whip, and said:

"If you don't want to save me, let me in."

Hearing this, the heavily armored soldiers rushed over and blocked her way.

"Today the king has decreed that no one should approach the Buddha hall! Please don't embarrass your highness......"

A sword light was cold, Chaolu's eyes were colder than it, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"You have received his command, and you will not listen to me?"

Zou Yun pursed his thin lips, bowed down and said:

"The Buddha hall was struck by lightning and caught fire, and His Royal Highness's precious body is not suitable for entering."

"Heh," Chaolu snorted softly, tilted his head slightly to stare at him, and asked, "Is it a heavenly thunder or a man-made disaster?" ”

The words fell, and there was silence. The armored guards bowed their heads one by one in the shaking of the swords, looking at each other.

Zou Yun raised his head slightly in the dead silence and looked at Her Royal Highness in front of him incredulously.

A few days ago, she was a weak girl who wanted to cry, but at this moment, her eyes were as cold and sharp as a thin blade, and when she swept over everyone one by one, it was as if she could see blood sealing her throat.

The fire had grown, and half of the night sky was as bright as day.

Zou Yun was stunned for a while, and saw that her complexion, which was flushed by the firelight, was as bright as the moon in the clouds. Listening to her lips close one by one, what she said made him shocked:

"General Zou, whether you stop it or not, I have to enter this Buddha Hall today!"

The coldness of her expression and the inspiring tone of her voice are as if what is hidden in the Buddha hall is a taboo that she cannot touch or move.

"Your Highness......" He was like a fish in his throat, and he wanted to persuade him again, but he saw her bow behind him and said:

"Father!" Everyone thought that the king of Uzi was coming, so they turned around and knelt on the ground to salute, and they did not see anyone coming for a long time, so they knew the plan.

The dazzling carmine had passed through the crowd, jumped into the door wall, and ran towards the Buddha hall in the sea of fire.

……

Chaolu didn't expect Luo Su to be mad, and wanted to pretend to be a natural disaster and burn down the Buddha hall.

She rushed away, passing by a few warrior monks who were blackened and collapsed to the ground in the sand of the vestibule of the Buddha hall.

She rushed up and grabbed him by the placket of his shirt and said:

"What about Luo Xiang? I ask you, what about others! She called him by first name.

Yuan Qi was choked by the smoke, and before he could open his mouth, he cried first, and said in a torn voice:

"Senior brother, senior brother is still inside......"

Chao Lu glanced at the closed temple doors, but fortunately the fire was not too big, and there was still a place to enter. She closed her eyes, without the slightest hesitation, and as soon as she pulled the hem of her skirt into a knot, she was about to rush inside.

A pair of strong arms clamped firmly on her wrists.

Chaolu looked back and saw Zou Yun's dark eyes.

"Your Highness, the fire is too fierce, you will be injured!" Zou Yun gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said, "As long as he is dead, His Highness doesn't have to, he doesn't have to ......."

She knew what word he had to follow after the word "needless", but he bit his lip and refused to puncture the sore.

Chao Lu quietly looked at the young man in front of him who couldn't bear it, and suddenly laughed:

"Do you think that without him, I wouldn't have to serve Israel?"

"Wrong." She smiled, and the firelight reflected on her face like two rippling flushes, "Big mistake." Even if the Buddha died, there would be others. ”

As long as she continues to be so weak and helpless, even if she doesn't have to be lustful anymore, she will be given to Daliang in the future and become a plaything in the palace.

"Thousands of people taste red lips, and ten thousand pillows with jade arms. Today is the Buddha, maybe one day ......," she raised her jade fingers and nodded the armor on his chest lightly, "It's you, the general." ”

Zou Yun was startled, and suddenly raised his head, but met her soft eyes:

"Didn't you think about it?"

"But if you don't come to save me today, then there will be no day......"

In his stunned moment, the girl smiled, and the next moment she turned around resolutely, and the red skirt was fleeting, stepping into the sea of fire.

Zou Yun only felt that a heart in his chest was beating levitating, and he never landed.

The aftermath lingered in his ears for a long time.

It was like a spark falling into his bottomless eyes, and in an instant, his heart was on fire.

Knowing that it was fire, he had to put himself into it.

……

Only a corner of the Buddha hall was burned, and the fire was not big, but black smoke was billowing out, gradually spreading in the spacious hall.

Chaolu cleared the fog, leaned over to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and coughed to call Luo Xiang's name.

"Cracklingβ€”" There was a loud bang.

The fire burned off the carved beams of the main hall.

After the roar, half of the heavenly palace caisson carved with the gods and Buddhas of the heavens collapsed, and a half-burned cypress beam fell.

Chaolu couldn't dodge, and when she was almost hit, she felt a gust of wind blow around her, and a pair of powerful arms pulled her to the other side.

"What are you doing when you come back?"

A deep voice rang out.

The black smoke dispersed, and she saw Luo Xiang's face, tired but calm, and the clear eyes pierced through the clouds and mist, as vast and silent as a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and slowly fell on her.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I'm here to save you."

At the moment of life and death, she only cared about wanting to save him, forgetting that she was still angry with him.

"Nonsense." Luo Xiang's voice was stern, but his always cold and solemn face was reflected a little mild by the firelight.

Chaolu was held firmly by him, and the place where he looked directly was his chest.

A page of familiar jute paper peeked out of his snow-white placket, the burnt edges, the sinuous scorch.

She couldn't help but reach out and take a look.

It was the scriptures she had copied the night before.

"Brother Xiang, what is this? Didn't you say that I made a mistake and was going to burn it all? Chaolu raised the scripture in front of him, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.

This time, he didn't avoid her gaze.

The sky was full of fire, the red light was gorgeous, and his heart was beating straight at Chaolu, only to feel that his eyes were as black as ink at this moment, and his quiet gaze was more scorching than the flames around him.
