Yunmiaoji Temple is located on the outskirts of Kyoto, but there are still many people who come from the city to burn a stick of incense, especially at this time at the end of the year, and want to come to ask for a good omen. Of course, such an endless stream has also added a force to the already congested traffic in Beijing......

Facts have proved that a peerless master who knows where he is, and anyone can go to him, is very busy every day, just when we are sitting opposite the house, talking and drinking tea, some people come over and want to see him, all of them are reported by the monks in the temple, and Master Ruyan's unified reply is: "Wait, old friends and visitors, go later." ”

Duan Qingtian is a military figure, Yu Hao's Qiankun Hanhai Pavilion and Qin Mufeng's Yunding Mountain are not something they can go to if they want to, and they can't see it if they want to, but the residence of the world's number one archmage can actually go to it casually, don't you have to come and see it?!

Of course, all of them must be Dharma cultivators, or people who are very close to Dharma practitioners, and ordinary people come here for the whole temple, not for one person. They don't know what the best in the world is.

Thanks to the master, the old man may have said it himself, or his strength is unknown, and he is not on the end of the world, otherwise, the threshold of the shop can be trampled on by visitors!

In just five minutes, Master Ruyan had already blocked three waves of visitors.

I looked at the monk outside the door and heard Master Ruyan's answer, but just said yes and walked away, and asked with some concern, "Master, is this okay? ”

Master Ruyan himself didn't care, and still said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't seen Tiantong's old friend for a long time, and I'm also happy to see his senior apprentice today." ”

"Don't you dare, it's a brace boy, it's just that they won't wait?" I said, glancing out the door.

Master Ruyan looked at me, was silent for a while, and then suddenly blinked, took a sip of the teacup, put it down and said, "They won't, here, there will be no such negative emotions." ”

I frowned, thinking to myself what I meant by this, and to the peaceful scene I had seen when I came, and to say, in such an atmosphere, that they would not be so easily anxious......?

At this time, Master Ruyan suddenly showed a helpless expression and asked, "When you came, did you feel for a moment as if you were not in this world, but in a fairyland." ”

What does this say...... Is that the feeling I felt before the monk called me?!

“...... Yes!" I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Master Ruyan looked at me and was silent for a few seconds before he said, "That's an illusion. ”

The voice was plain and untouched, but he could clearly feel that when he said this, he felt the helplessness from the depths of his heart, the sadness from his soul.

"Illusion......" I muttered.

"yes, Vision. Master Ruyan nodded, "The entire Yunmiao Temple has been shrouded in my spells and illusions, and in this illusion, people will feel very relaxed and happy, and feel that everything is so beautiful, no anger, no deception, no sadness, no frustration...... All negative emotions will disappear, and it will be a fairyland on earth. ”

Yes, that's how I feel, so the people who are waiting are immersed in the atmosphere, so they don't feel agitated.

"Everyone wants their life to be like that, doesn't it?" said Master Ruyan, looking at me.

"Yes. I replied.

"It's just a beautiful dream, isn't it? How many people want to live in this dream of Nanke, because this dream is so beautiful, so good that we feel that real life is so bad, so disgusting. ”

I nodded, "Well, that's right, there's everything in my dreams." ”

"But even if I created this dream for them, they would have to wake up, and when they left the Cloud Miao Temple, this feeling would gradually disappear, and they would have to face reality again, and it would be the most painful thing in the world, so they would come again, as if ...... It's like being addicted. ”

Speaking of this, Master Ruyan's eyes dimmed, he bowed his head and said nothing, and there seemed to be tears rolling down faintly, but no.

Originally...... Those people are living in such a dream, those who come in an endless stream, those pious people who take three steps and one bow, and five steps and one knock, are all for this dream. Perhaps, if I hadn't been woken up by the monk just as I was about to fall asleep, I am afraid that I would have fallen into such a dream.

"So, what are you doing with this illusion and letting them all fall into this dream?"

"These are side effects. ”

"Side effects?"

"That's right......" Master Ruyan raised his head, and in his eyes, there was that kind of sadness and helplessness.

"I set up this illusion for the sake of this temple, and I want to make it peaceful and beautiful without negative emotions. Do you know what this place was like when I didn't set up this illusion?!"

When Master Ruyan said this, his voice became excited! Around him, he was a high-ranking monk, the four major were empty, and he didn't care about the seven emotions and six desires, but he was also excited at this time.

"Collecting tickets, buying and selling incense and candles, those people came in and giggled and joked, and even said something unpleasant!

"So, you made this illusion?"

"That's right, after having this illusion, this place has become a regular place, and it has become a real pure land, but the side effects have also appeared......" Master Ruyan said this, the excited flame was extinguished again, and his expression dimmed again.

"They want this dream so much, and even some people want to become monks and monks here in order to be able to live in this dream forever, how can I accept it......? Alas!"

Master Ruyan couldn't go on, and I was also a little uneasy when I heard this, what happened to those who wanted to come here to become monks but were refused......

Since they all began to want to stay in this dream for the rest of their lives, they must not be able to endure everything outside anymore, and now, this road does not work, and they don't want to go back, will they just ......

"Sin, people's hearts are like this, chasing fame and fortune is just for a better life, for the sake of having a law, and for one less person to manage themselves...... I drew such a cake for them, but cruelly threw it out in front of them. ”

"Alas, there is a way that the ironclad general is at night, the courtiers bring Lu Wu to the cold, and the mountain temple has not risen on the day, so it is better to be idle than to be famous...... This has been the case since ancient times. I said.

Master Ruyan looked at the tea in the cup on the table, the tea faintly reflected his face, he shook his head lightly, and said, "Speaking of which, the land of Buddhism can only be kept pure by relying on illusions, ironic!

"It's not a problem with Buddhism. I said. If a person has no rules for himself, then no foreign rules will be able to restrain him. ”

"It's people's problem, it's their fault, Master, you change for the sake of mistakes, it can only be mistakes, and this kind of thing will only lead this mistake elsewhere, and even bigger mistakes will appear! ”

If...... Shrouding the whole world in this illusion, people will naturally change, but in this way, this world will definitely exist soon!

It is impossible to live in a dream.

Master Ruyan raised his head, looked at me, was stunned for a moment, and said, "You didn't fall into a dream, if only everyone were like you." ”

"I hope so, no one has taught me that, but I know that people have to be in awe, and I dare not forget. I laughed.

"Well, it's you. Master Ruyan said as a matter of course.

“......”

No...... Worthy of me, what do you mean?

He's an old friend of my master, and my master knows my identity, isn't it......

"Do you know who I am?" I asked.

Master Ruyan didn't answer my words directly, but said, "It is true that it takes a little longer for a cultivator to fall into an illusion than an ordinary person, but I really haven't seen anyone who can wake up on his own when he is about to fall into an illusion, even Duan Qingtian can't do it. ”

After saying that, he looked at me with a smile. I, on the other hand, was shocked when I heard this.

Even Duan Qingtian, who was second only to Master Ruyan, couldn't do it, but I easily got out of the environment, this, could this be the blood and soul power brought by my identity in my previous life!

"That'...... What about my master, my master ...... him"

Before I could finish my words, Master Ruyan interrupted: "My mana is not as strong as your master, so why not let him fall into an illusion." ”

......

Because my mana is low, I fell into the illusion, but when I was about to enter the illusion, the original power from my previous life dragged me out!

Master Ruyan drank the rest of the tea in the cup and said, "I am deeply honored to meet you. ”

The salutations are all honorific, and I must know it.

"Don't dare, I'm always a junior, the master is busy with affairs, I won't bother, the master hurry up and see those visitors, otherwise after a while, they will also be addicted to this illusion." As I spoke, I got up to leave.

Master Ruyan also got up, folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, listen to your words, it is better to read ten years of books, it is not me who is wrong, nor Buddhism, but people, I know, but this mistake is extremely difficult to correct." I can't tear it apart because I don't know what's going to happen, but one day, maybe there will be a time when I don't need it. ”

"I hope so. ”

......

That's it, my visit is over, I didn't expect that Yunmiao Temple, which has always been known as the first temple in the world, has such an inside story. How could the illusion that even Duan Qingtian couldn't discover and break was known?

When I went down the mountain, I looked at the people who were still walking up the mountain, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity for them, this mistake was not in them, but in a deeper place, in their growth environment, in their three views of cultivation......

I can only hope that this mistake can really be corrected in the future. Hurry up and put an end to this dream......
