Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sorrow
Xiu Yuan was in a "fog" fog, he arrived at the purple bamboo forest again, Xiu Yuan was already familiar with this place, and walked forward until he saw the familiar gate, he looked at the steps, walked up slowly, and pushed the door open, :///
There were two people standing in the backyard of the gate, one old and one young, and Xiu Yuan slowly approached them.
The old man looked at Xiu Yuan and smiled, so kind, the three of them saw each other again as if they were separated from each other.
"Are you okay?"
Xiu Yuan smiled faintly, "I'm fine, what about you?"
"We're fine too," Xiao Tong couldn't wait to answer, he stretched out his hand to hug Xiuyuan's waist, "We miss you so much." ”
Xiu Yuan held the child's shoulder, he smiled slightly, the child let go of his hand and looked at him, the old man 'touched' the child's head, "We're leaving." ”
"Let's go, where are you going?" Xiu Yuan looked at them strangely.
"We don't belong here, we're just here to see you and lead you to the right path to Buddhahood. "The old man is still kind.
Xiu Yuan sighed, thinking that he was indeed a monk, and he had to practice in a quiet place of Buddhism in this life, and his fate was like this.
"But you have more to do. The old man paused.
"Eliminate harm for the people, eliminate violence and peace, arhat, this is what you have to do in this life. The boy answered.
Xiu Yuan pointed at himself, "Me?"
The old man nodded, "This is also your fate, and it can't be changed." ”
"Emptiness is a beginning, Xiuyuan, you are such a person so you will definitely embark on this path, you are kind-hearted, as long as you see the injustice in the world, you will be uneven, so in this life, do your best to do more for the mortals in this world. The old man said meaningfully.
Xiu Yuan looked at the firm eyes of these two people, and suddenly understood something, he then looked at the vitality of this garden, a four seasons passed, and then saw the depressed autumn color, the beauty of the garden scenery, Xiu Yuan raised his head, he looked at the sun, he had not seen such a brilliant light for a long time, and when Xiu Yuan turned around, the old man and the little boy were no longer in front of him, Xiu Yuan was stunned and then looked around, only to see two people standing at the door and looking back at him.
"Luohan" the old man called him, Xiu Yuan was stunned, looking at the old man, he was like seeing someone he had missed for a long time, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Take care, let's go." ”
Xiao Tong also waved his hand to him, Xiu Yuan watched the two people walk towards the door, their backs became more and more illusory until they disappeared, Xiu Yuan suddenly seemed to realize something, looked down, and saw that he was dressed in a linen robe, and he quickly walked to the water's edge.
The pool is clear, and a person is clearly reflected in it, Xiu Yuan was speechless there, although the facial features are similar, there are more vicissitudes of the ages, and the people in the water are clearly dragon-descending Arhats.
He straightened up and "touched" his cheeks, in this life, he finally became a dragon descending arhat, no wonder the two of them saw him just now with that expression, Xiu Yuan sat down, a gust of wind blew his gauze clothes, he looked at his pale and slender hands, I, Li Xiuyuan, is the dragon descending Arhat.
This is the first dream, Xiu Yuan woke up at night, looked at his hands, couldn't see clearly in the night, he turned over and prepared to go to the ground, but he didn't stand still, he was about to fall, but he didn't expect a chair to hold him, Xiu Yuan was stunned, "touched" the cold chair, he lit the lamp, he was the only one in the room, but the chair appeared where it shouldn't be, Xiu Yuan looked at the chair, he picked up the lamp and ran out the next moment, and the yard was full of ink Xiu Yuan looked around, there were leaves rustling in the wind in the dense and low bushes, and he turned around and around, and it felt that it would not be wrong.
*
Unswerving, the dragon has been unswerving.
"You come out!" Xiu Yuan said, "Long Buswer, you come out!"
Still no one answered, Xiu Yuan looked at the inky night, the courtyard was so quiet, only the sound of his breathing, sometimes high and sometimes low.
"Why don't you come out, why are you always in the dark, do you want to avoid me for the rest of your life?" Xiu Yuan said into the air.
The trees still trembled, Xiu Yuan raised his head, and the stars occupied the sky, "Why did you do that, you give me an explanation." ”
On the other side, Unswerved was hiding in the hidden bushes, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, listening to Xiuyuan's voice, he was close but couldn't come forward.
Xiuyuan, you misunderstood me too deeply, and I thought so in my heart.
Xiu Yuan didn't get a response, his hand holding the lamp hung down, Xiu Yuan let out a long breath for the last time, and he slowly walked back to the room.
It wasn't until she closed the door that she didn't dare to let go of her hand for a long time, she slowly poked her head out, and the dim light in the window reflected Xiu Yuan's sideways, and he sat at the table.
Looking at the silhouette, she closed her eyes, and her heart was sullen.
Maybe this is the last time I will see you, Xiu Yuan, she looked at the silhouette reluctantly, suddenly, the light went out, and her unswerving heart was empty, she slowly stood up and jumped on the eaves, looking at Xiu Yuan's room unswervingly and resolutely turned away.
Where Unswerving lived, her mother-in-law was holding Xiao Forget, and when she saw Unswerving coming back, she greeted her, "You're back, why are you so late?"
Looking at the sleeping child held by her mother-in-law, she 'touched' her face, "Forget the time, are you still good at forgetting the trace, are you crying?"
The mother-in-law shook her head, "You don't know how obedient she is, this child just won't cry." She gently hugged the forgotten traces, and unswervingly stretched out her hand, and the mother-in-law handed the child to her.
At the moment when she touched the warm little body, her heart softened, she looked at her face, pink and tender like a cherry, and unswervingly hugged the child tightly.
"What's wrong with you?" the mother-in-law looked at her, the sadness between her brows that could not be concealed, "Don't wake up the child. ”
Unswerving lowered her head and kissed lightly on the forehead of Forgetfulness, she closed her eyes, and the moment she touched Forget's skin, Unswervingly couldn't hold back tears flowed out.
The mother-in-law looked at her, "Are you okay?"
Unswerving shook his head, "It's okay, just looking at the child, I feel sorry for her." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head, "Why are you still sentimental about this child, you are already the mother of the child." She wanted to take the forgetfulness, and unswervingly handed the forgetfulness back to her mother-in-law, and she looked at the happiness of her mother-in-law with the child.
"Mother-in-law, can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" the mother-in-law watched.
"Whether this child is in the future or not, please take good care of her, and never tell her about her background. ”
"Why do you say this for no reason?" the mother-in-law frowned at her, "You take care of the child well, you have to bring her up with your own hands, and take her to experience the world." ”
"I mean, if I can't bring her up myself, can you take care of her for me?"
Mother-in-law looked at Unswerving, she nodded, Unsung pursed her lips reassuringly after getting her mother-in-law's affirmation, looking at the sleeping forgetfulness, her heart was sour again.
