Chapter Ninety-Seven: All Things

The dust brought them to a small courtyard in the temple for lodging, with three meditation rooms on the left and right, a total of six rooms, one of the five of them, one for each of them, and one more room.

Lin Qiyi, Fan Xiaotan and Changjue live on the right, and Ji Ming and Phantom Wu live on the left. Phantom Wu vacated the meditation room in the middle, separated from Jiming, just opposite Changjue.

Seeing Changjue again this time, Phantom Wu doesn't know why, and he seems to have a little bit of a separation. She was also a little uncomfortable when facing him, maybe because she didn't want him to have too much to do with Jiming, and with a little selfishness, she didn't want Changjue to find out about her deal with Jiming.

After all, this person is treacherous and difficult to distinguish, and Phantom Wu keenly found that Ji Ming seemed to have a look on Chang Jue's body, and there was always a little bit of deliberately suppressed excitement. This feeling made Phantom very uncomfortable, but she still had to be in the company of hungry wolves.

"What are you thinking?" Rao is phantom knew that Jiming would definitely come to him, but when he suddenly heard this soft voice, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Jiming's voice always had a cynical smile, as if he was happy at every moment. But Phantom can always hear a kind of indifference overflowing from the depths of his heart in this soft timbre, and even those smiles make Phantom feel that it is just a sneer from watching the struggle of the world.

So whenever Phantom heard Jiming's voice that seemed to be smiling and talking at the same time, she felt that she had instantly turned into a grasshopper pinched in his hand, and it only took a small drop of water to drown her. But it is clear that what I am looking forward to the most is that the more I struggle, the more desperate I become.

"Miss you. Phantom raised his eyes to look at the man whose face was half hidden in the darkness.

"Oh?" Jiming's smile became more pronounced, and he stepped out of the shadow and stood straight in front of Phantom Wu, so that Phantom had to look up to see Ji Ming's face.

"Let me guess, what are you thinking about me...... Ji Ming bent down and brought his face to Phantom Wu, less than a fist away from her face, "Are you wondering why I didn't stop Changjue from following, or how much I know about Changjue, or why I brought you here?"

Phantom Wu didn't want to show half of her cowardice, she looked directly at Ji Ming: "What you want is in this temple." ”

Ji Ming curled his lips and smiled: "Not bad." He straightened up and looked up at her, "Do you see anything wrong?"

"No......" Phantom shook her head, "I can't tell." ”

"Well, let's wait until you find out. ”

"Can't you just tell me?"

"The emptiness of the Dharma can only be broken by yourself. He opened the door and went out.

What...... Phantom Wu can be said to be very depressed. At the beginning of the moon, the clear ground was sprinkled by the window. The illusion looked at it and put her hand into the blue and white corner, and the light and shadow cut her hand in half, half hidden in the darkness and half dissolved in the light.

But the hand is still the same hand, and there is no difference in feeling, but it can be seen that her hand is caressing the two worlds at the same time.

"Ringling...... Bell Bell Bell ......" The bell sound of the Feeling Spirit Tower interrupted her thoughts, and she decided to go out for a walk.

"Are we still in the realm of the dead?" Fan Xiaotan looked at Lin Qiyi and Changjue, and asked the question that had haunted her all day today.

"What do you say?" Lin Qi leaned at her, "how have we ever left this desolate north. ”

"But this town is so much worse than I imagined, it's like an ordinary town, and it's not scary at all. ”

"Ordinary? Where is it ordinary? We have seen all the way in the daytime, have you seen a beggar, a thief, a bully, or anything like that? The old man is not sick or weak, and no one of the children is crying, where is there such a happy place in this world?"

Chang Jue tilted his head sideways, as if he was looking intently at a ray of moonlight on the bluestone slab: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”

Fan Xiaotan thought for a moment: "Have you seen a sand gate other than the dust in this Mercy Temple today?"

"When you say that, I also think it's weird, this temple is not big but it's not small, and if you don't see the host, why don't you even have a little novice who sprinkles and sweeps?" Lin Qiyi glared: "Could it be that what we see is fake?"

"No, no," Lin Qiyi immediately shook his head again, "If it was an illusion or something, the illusion would have been discovered a long time ago, and it wouldn't be without a statement." ”

Fan Xiaotan: "Maybe she saw it, but she didn't say it?"

"If it's such a powerful illusion, it must be very dangerous, if Phantom Wu is aware of it, she won't tell us, why does she bother to put us in danger?" Lin Qiyi felt that Fan Xiaotan was maliciously speculating on Phantom Wu, and immediately refuted her.

Fan Xiaotan saw the disdain on Lin Qiyi's face, and that inexplicable anger rose in his heart: "How do you know what she thinks? I see that she is now focused on that fallen immortal, who cares about us? Don't you see that she didn't even say a word to Chang Jue today?"

Fan Xiaotan poured beans from the bamboo tube and generally said all the speculations in one go, and after finishing speaking, he was annoyed that he was happy. She glanced at him for a long time, only to see his face turned sideways, and his face flickered brightly under the dim candlelight, which was extremely gloomy.

Without saying a word, Fan Xiaotan was angry and anxious, and no longer hidden: "You have all seen it, I didn't say half a lie." Don't fool yourself, you still want to save people, I think she's so good that she doesn't need you to save her, maybe she still thinks you're in the way!"

"Tsk, why is it so sour? I think there are people who can't eat grapes, and they are sour all over their bodies!"

"Lin Qiyi, you simple-minded villain with well-developed limbs!"

"I'm a villain, I can't compare to a gentleman like you who thinks you're a sweet-mouthed sword!"

The two of them were talking anxiously, and Chang Jue suddenly stood up and walked out: "I'll go out for a while." ”

Fan Xiaotan watched Chang Jue leave, glaring at him as if he was about to pounce on Lin Qi and bite him: "It's all your fault! Chang Jue must have thought you were unbearable!"

"It's obvious that you're quite unreasonable and annoying!"

The energetic quarrel continued, and he had no time to pay attention to it, focusing on the figure in front of him.

Just now, he had been secretly observing the phantom room, and when he saw that she was going out by herself, he followed without thinking about it.

Phantom Wu walked in no hurry, as if he was just walking. The cold moonlight shone on her body, making her look extremely thin, but revealing a trance-like beauty.

The chief never dared to follow too closely, and while secretly following, he despised his own sneaky actions.

Phantom Wu walked forward on his own, without hesitation, occasionally stopping to watch the flowers on the path. Phantom fingers brushed over a bud, as if the phoenix pill there was already in full bloom.

"Bell ......" Phantom Wu had no destination, but listening to this seemingly non-existent ringtone, he didn't want to go directly to the Spiritual Pagoda.

At night, the tower is lit with candles, and the candles are offered on each floor. The temple is so cold, only this pagoda shines in this corner.

It is as if from darkness to light, from death to life. Her illusory eyes were warmly orange with candle flames, and she stood at the foot of the tower, like a believer listening to the sound of Sanskrit.

The door to the first floor of the Spiritual Pagoda was opened, and a scorching red slowly emerged from the tower. She held a bronze lamp, and the orange light illuminated her face.

"Weeping bell?" Phantom hesitated for a moment before calling out the name.

The woman was good-looking, tall, and no longer the girl of seven or eight years old. But Phantom looked at those bright eyes, and still recognized her in an instant.

"You're here. Ignoring the illusion's amazement, the bell just stood beside her, looking up at the Spiritual Pagoda together, "This tower is so beautiful." ”

It was a heartfelt exclamation, full of affection. Phantom turned her head to look at the weeping bell, her smile was completely sincere, with deep satisfaction and pleasure, her eyes were wet, and the persistence in her eyes was warm, like a flame that burned Phantom's heart.

That feeling made Phantom Wu feel that the woman in front of him was like a moth, and if the Spirit Pagoda turned into a fire at this moment, Weeping Ling would definitely pounce on it without hesitation.

"You called me here?" Phantom suddenly wanted to say something casually, so as to interrupt the obsession in the weeping bell's eyes.

"Well, I guess you're the only one who understands what I'm saying. Weeping Ling looked at Phantom Wu, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.

"Ringing Ring......" Countless golden bells were thrown and swayed in the wind, and Phantom Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the golden bell on this tower?"

"Yes, I am the spirit born of this golden bell. ”

Phantom Wu sighed with emotion: "What kind of long years can make the golden bell give birth to spiritual consciousness in the evening drum and morning bell and the curling Sanskrit sound? You were born in this place where the Buddha's sound is cleansed, and you must have given birth to the Buddha's heart like the wick where the Buddha sat down, right?"

In addition to sighing, there is also temptation. She had already seen the stubbornness in the eyes of the weeping bell, this kind of look was definitely not something that people in the Buddhist sect who had forgotten the six roots of the Lingtai Qingming Dynasty would have.

"My Taoism is shallow, and even in this pure place of Buddhism, I can't give birth to a Buddha heart. "The weeping bell does not hide it, "Where you are born cannot control a person's mind, Jizo Bodhisattva is still a Bodhisattva in the Infernal Prison, and I, even if I was born in the Buddha land and grew up in the Buddha Gate, I will always be an evil demon." ”

The golden bell swayed constantly, becoming more and more intense, and the weeping bell must have been upset at the moment.

"What are you going to tell me?"

Weeping Ling turned her head, her eyes that were exceptionally bright from the wetness to look back at the Spiritual Tower.

Phantom Wu also turned his head, but was stunned by the scene in front of him - the pagoda that was fine just now was actually burning with fire at this moment!

How is it possible? Phantom Wu opened his mouth, the Spirit Tower had been engulfed in flames, and the entire tower body was hidden in the firelight, and the flames lit up the night sky like day.

Phantom Wu was shocked, and his first reaction was to pull the weeping bell next to him.

The expression of the weeping bell did not change, and he still looked at the pagoda and smiled. Except for the sound of the flame burning, she couldn't hear anything else, such a big fire, as if she was the only one who saw it, and she was the only one who was surprised.

Phantom Wu looked at the weeping bell, and then at everything shrouded in the night, and was in a trance.

She shook her head, and suddenly felt fear, as if she was the only one in heaven and earth. Is everything in front of me real? Is the self standing here also fake?
