Chapter 67: The Gate of the World
"Master, a benefactor said that he had something important to do with you!"
It didn't take long for the little monk to take Luo Haoran to the door of the meditation room, and after stopping, the little monk knocked on the door and reported to Master Xuanhong in the meditation room.
"Got it, please come in with this donor, you go back first!"
After a while, after the sound of knocking on the wooden fish stopped, the voice of Master Xuanhong came from inside the meditation room.
"Thank you, little master!"
When the little monk was about to leave, Luo Haoran took the opportunity to thank the little monk for his salute.
"The donor doesn't have to be polite, the little monk will leave first, and the donor can go in by himself. ”
He was polite to Luo Haoran, and after giving a salute, the little monk left by himself.
Creak............
After the little monk left, Luo Haoran turned around and approached the door of the meditation room, and gently pushed the door open with his hand.
"Donor, please come in!"
Master Xuanhong, who was sitting inside, heard the door behind him being gently pushed open, put down the wooden fish in his hand, and said slowly with his eyes still closed and his mouth closed.
"Master, long time no see!"
As soon as Master Xuanhong's voice fell, Luo Haoran slowly walked into the meditation room, stopped when he came to a distance of three feet from Master Xuanhong, and greeted the back of Master Xuanhong sitting cross-legged.
"It turned out that Bai Shaoxia came, and the last time Lao Wei talked to Bai Shaoxia was two years ago!"
Hearing the greeting of the visitor, Master Xuanhong opened his eyes, stood up and turned around, when Master Xuanhong turned around and saw that the person in front of him turned out to be the swordsman Bai Yu, he recalled the scene of the first conversation between him and Luo Haoran two years ago, and couldn't help but sigh.
Besides, this Master Xuanhong is nearly 100 years old, but this spirit looks very full, and there is no appearance that a centenarian should have.
"Yes, for two whole years, I don't want Master Xuanhong to remember it so clearly. ”
Luo Haoran didn't expect that this Master Xuanhong was so impressed by their first conversation.
"Bai Shaoxia made a special trip to find Lao Gao, I don't know what the so-called matter?"
The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, not to mention that it is a famous person like Luo Haoran in the rivers and lakes, Luo Haoran made a special trip to Tiandao Temple to find him, there must be something important that he needs his help, so Master Xuanhong asked Luo Haoran directly.
"Master Xuanhong, that's the case, I've been repeating a dream for a while, the dream vaguely shows that I don't belong to this world, I came to this world just to find an important person and pass by, this dream makes me feel very real, I'm very confused now, I can't tell whether the dream is true or false, so I came to ask the master, I hope the master can help solve the doubts in my heart. ”
Under Master Xuanhong's inquiry, Luo Haoran explained the purpose of his coming to Tiandao Temple to find Master Xuanhong, hoping that Master Xuanhong could solve the doubts in his heart.
"Bai Shaoxia, what do you think of the heavens and the sky, the past and the present life?"
Master Xuanhong did not answer Luo Haoran immediately, but first ran out of a question and asked Luo Haoran to talk about his views on this issue.
"The world is full of wonders!"
Faced with Master Xuanhong's question, Luo Haoran was silent for a while, and then spit out eight words lightly in his mouth.
Hearing Luo Haoran's answer, Master Xuanhong nodded with a smile.
In fact, the so-called dream does not matter whether it is real or false, it comes from the deep memory of all things and the conjecture of life, it is said that it is illusory but it is real, it is said that it is real but it is illusory, so dreams do not care whether they are false or real. ”
First of all, Master Xuanhong explained about the source of dreams, everyone in the world thinks that the so-called dreams are virtual, and how does Master Xuanhong explain that dreams do not matter whether they are virtual or real, you can't say that dreams are illusory, and you can't say that dreams are real.
"The master is saying that the scene in my dream is both true and false?"
After listening to Master Xuanhong's explanation, Luo Haoran got another answer with questions.
"Truth and falsehood, fiction and reality are the interweaving of the world, truth and falsehood complement each other, truth and falsehood, fiction and reality are the essence of the world, and the same is true of dreams, perhaps from another level, the so-called dreams are just a mysterious world that we have not been able to set foot in. ”
In Master Xuanhong's elaboration, truth and falsehood are just the essence of the world, maybe people in the real world see the dream world is false, and people in the dream world see the real world is false, so there is a complete world only when there is a mixture of false and real, and dreams are a part of the refraction of reality, and in turn reality reflects part of the dream, so the dream world and the real world are inseparable.
"Then may I ask the master, if this is the case, who am I in the dream, and who is the person I am looking for, and where should I find it?"
After listening to Master Xuanhong's explanation, Luo Haoran seemed to understand whether he understood or not, as Master Xuanhong said, what is the connection between him in the dream and him in reality, and what is the relationship between the person he wants to pursue in the dream and her, a series of doubts popped up in Luo Haoran's heart.
Bai Shaoxia's question, Shu Lao Wei can't answer it, the answers to these questions need to be found by Bai Shaoxia himself, maybe there will be an answer that Bai Shaoxia needs. ”
For Luo Haoran's last questions, Master Xuanhong really has no way to answer them, and the answers Luo Haoran wants have to be found by himself, but Luo Haoran's situation reminds Master Xuanhong of a legend, maybe Luo Haoran can find his own answer from this legend, but it is too vague.
"Is there really such a place? What is it? I hope the master will tell me. ”
Although Master Xuanhong couldn't give me the answers to the doubts in his heart, Luo Haoran was also very excited when he heard Master Xuanhong say that there was a place where he might have the answers he needed, and asked Master Xuanhong to tell him the place he said.
Legend has it that every world has a world gate, the world gate is the connection point between the worlds, as long as you pass through the world gate to reach a new world, but it is impossible to find the world gate, because the world gate flows and exists in any corner of the world, if there is a fate, if you don't, even if you spend your whole life, you will not see. ”
For this legend, how many people have exhausted their lives, for this legend, how many good years have been buried, in the end it is only a bamboo basket to draw water, and over time, people have gradually given up, and this legend has been slowly forgotten by people.
From Master Xuanhong's point of view, even if Luo Haoran knows this legend, there is very little hope of passing through the gate of the world, but the Ten Thousand Buddhas pay attention to fate, it depends on whether Luo Haoran has this fate, which is also the reason why Master Xuanhong will tell Luo Haoran.
"The Gate of the World? Does anyone pass through the Gate of the World?"
For Luo Haoran, hope is good, even if it is slim, it doesn't matter, Luo Haoran cares about whether anyone has reached another world through the gate of the world, if someone passes through the gate of the world, then it is no longer confusing for Luo Haoran.
"Yes, legend has it that hundreds of thousands of years ago there was a man who passed through the door of the world and entered a whole new world. ”
The craze of the gate of the world began at that time, although there are rumors that there is a person who has passed the gate of the world, but no one has certified it with his own eyes, and Master Xuanhong does not know whether it is true, and he who was once a monk also tried to find the gate of the world, and in the end it was only in vain, because of this, he will have an epiphany and enter the door of Buddhism.
"Thank you master for solving your doubts, the purpose of this trip has been completed, and Bai will leave first!"
Now that the answer he wanted had been obtained, and the confusion in his heart had become clear, Luo Haoran did not linger, so he thanked Master Xuanhong and said goodbye.
"Bai Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, this is also the fate between Bai Shaoxia and Lao Ke. ”
Being able to solve Luo Haoran's confusion is a kind of fate for Master Xuanhong, a kind of fate that has already been planted between Luo Haoran and him, so it doesn't matter whether he is grateful or not.
"Master, please stay!"
When Luo Haoran said goodbye and walked outside the meditation room, he found that Master Xuanhong followed him to see him off, and after stepping out of the door, Luo Haoran turned around and refused to Master Xuanhong.
"Then Bai Shaoxia walks slowly, and the old man will not be far away. ”
Since Luo Haoran refused to send him off, Master Xuanhong also stopped, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and went back to the meditation room.
