Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wounded Parting
In the past two days, Shen Xiaoxiao has been lying on the bed obediently recuperating from her injuries, not daring to use spiritual power to restore her wounds or using elixir, for fear that the wounds will heal too quickly, but in this way, the wounds have already healed.
This morning, I was finally allowed to get out of bed and walk around by Pomegranate, but on the condition that I be supported by two girls.
Yes, Little Orange and Little Peach were sent over overnight last night, because I was afraid that Pomegranate would not be able to take care of it alone.
Emperor Long Hui and they only stayed here for one night, and returned to the Lin Mansion the next day, that is, yesterday afternoon. Originally, Jia Min wanted to stay and take care of Shen Xiaoxiao, but her own body was just a little better, so she was forcibly taken back by Lin Ruhai.
Emperor Long Hui and the others rested in the Lin Mansion for a whole night last night, and they should take a boat back to the capital this morning.
Pomegranate led the way in front, and the two girls helped Shen Xiaoxiao to walk slowly.
When I walked out of the guest room, I was finally able to take a closer look at the temple. Gaomin Temple is a waterfront temple, looking at its lively and light architecture, constituting a tortuous and deep environment, elegant and subtle.
Along the way, the meditation hall, the Buddha hall, the Tibetan scripture building, the pavilion of the water pavilion, the squatter room each hug the terrain, the height is staggered, the first floor and a pavilion are all made strange, hidden and clever. No wonder so many people come here.
Walk a little further, the canal outside the temple is watery, the ripples are gentle, the microwave ripples, the temple reflects the river, lined with white clouds and blue sky, how beautiful and quiet.
Then turn your head to look at the Tianzhong Tower not far away, standing quietly at the water's edge, as if waiting for you to climb.
Shen Xiaoxiao was about to walk towards the direction of the tower, when suddenly there was an urgent sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of Gaomin Temple. In the blink of an eye, the horse came to Shen Xiaoxiao with its owner.
Seeing that Long Si was wearing a black satin Pegasus arrow sleeve suit, with a dusty face, Long Si turned over and got off the horse and stood still looking up at Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but blurt out when she saw Long Si: "Shouldn't Your Highness be a boat to go back to the capital this morning, why did you come here?"
Long Si looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes that were almost greedy, and Long Si, who didn't want to move his eyes away, slowly spoke: "In the future, when I am in private, call me Long Si, I like you to call me like that." I should have been on board, but I still want to see you again and give you something myself. As he spoke, Long Si took off the painting scroll he was carrying behind his back and walked forward to hand it to Shen Xiaoxiao himself.
Shen Xiaoxiao took the scroll and thought about the decision he had just made the day before yesterday, and then looked at Long Si's hot eyes, and after hesitation, he decided to speak: "Your Highness, I think we are still...!" Before Shen Xiaoxiao could finish speaking.
Long Si had already turned his head and walked back to the horse quickly, turned over on the horse to adjust the horse's head, turned his back to Shen Xiaoxiao and said, "You take care of your injuries, let's see you in the capital." With that, he galloped away.
"Long Si, you're here to let me finish speaking!" Shen Xiaoxiao shouted loudly. I've plucked up the courage to say no next time, and I don't know if I'll be able to say no again. Shen Xiaoxiao said weakly in her heart.
After Long Si came like this, Shen Xiaoxiao lost the interest in playing, took a few girls back to the room, sent the girls away, and Shen Xiaoxiao stayed in the room alone.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully put the painting scroll on the table, slowly opened the painting scroll, and sure enough, what he saw was the painting of Long Si's hands at the same time at the flower viewing party, and I saw that the lower left side of the painting added Long Si's gift: Give me my favorite person. On the back is Wang Zhen's signature and the red seal of the seal. It turned out that Long Si's original name was Wang Zhen.
Shen Xiaoxiao touched her violently beating heart, and there seemed to be a hot current flowing through her heart. It is said that it is the most difficult to accept the grace of the "beauty", and what should Shen Xiaoxiao do in the face of Long Si's affection?
After thinking about it for a long time, there seemed to be a flash of pain in Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes, but he still called out to Pomegranate: "Put this painting away, stuff it into the box and put it in the box after returning to the Lin Mansion, and don't appear in front of me again in the future." ”
"Yes, girl. Pomegranate nodded yes, but with another expression of desire to speak.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she drove Pomegranate out. Go to the bed and sit cross-legged and get ready to cultivate.
In the past two days, due to his injury, he has always been accompanied by someone who has been unable to cultivate.
I don't know if it's because of some troubles, Shen Xiaoxiao has never been able to calm down and cultivate, and there is no way for Shen Xiaoxiao to open his eyes and stop cultivating.
There is an old saying: "Jinshan legs are high and fragrant, and Tianning Temple sings and covers three rivers." ”
It is said in the news from the little orange that the Gaomin Temple is also famous for its "sitting meditation", also known as "sitting incense", that is, sitting meditation is based on incense.
So what is "zazen", which means to sit upright with your eyes closed and meditate. If you look at the thoughts flying in your head, the thoughts will slowly calm down, and a clear sky will appear in the calm mind. The function of the so-called zazen meditation can make the person who is sitting in meditation have a clear mind, orderly thinking, and single-minded action. This is exactly what Shen Xiaoxiao needs now.
Shen Xiaoxiao left the room and came to the old meditation room of the temple and asked to see the old abbot.
When he saw the old abbot explain his intentions, the old abbot smiled and said: "Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform. The female donor is polite, the old man is round, the female donor wants to learn "zazen", how can the old man hide his privacy. Then ask the donor to sit cross-legged on the couch, fold your hands, and close your eyes and listen. ”
After Shen Xiaoxiao got on the couch and crossed his legs and posed, Master Yuantong said: "What is zazen? In this method, there are no obstacles or blockages, and there is no thought of thinking about the trade-offs in the heart of all the realms of right and wrong in the outside world. What is meditation? Freedom from the confusion of the appearance of all things in the outside world and without attachment is called meditation, and if the heart is not chaotic, it is called concentration. If one is attached to the separation of external things, one's heart will be shaken, and if one can detach oneself from the external world, one's mind will naturally remain undisturbed. Everyone's nature is pure and stable. Ask the female donor to do: concentrate on the heart, stay in the heart to see the clean, take the heart from the outside, and take the heart inside. This is the 16-character key to peace of mind. ”
As soon as Master Yuantong finished speaking, there was a violent wind around him, and the surrounding aura surged straight towards Shen Xiaoxiao's body. Shen Xiaoxiao had another epiphany, but this time it was a spiritual epiphany, and the spiritual power rushed straight into Shen Xiaoxiao's Purple Mansion, and only a small amount of spiritual power poured into the dantian. I saw that Shen Xiaoxiao's spiritual power continued to rise, and with a pop, the spiritual power barrier was broken, and Shen Xiaoxiao's spiritual power was in the golden pill period.
Gradually, the spiritual power slowly stabilized, Shen Xiaoxiao slowly opened his eyes, there seemed to be a white light flashing in his eyes, and the distance of spiritual power released suddenly became about 100 meters.
Shen Xiaoxiao got up and stayed down, bowed deeply to the abbot of Yuantong and said, "Thank you Abbot for being so devoted to professor, Yuanchun has benefited a lot." ”
"The donor doesn't have to be like this, there is a "fate" between you and me. Abbot Yuantong replied with a salute and said.
"Yuan? Yes, the word "Yuan" is so wonderful, and how heart-rending. Yuan Chun was taught. Saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao saluted again, and thought in his heart: Long Si and I are not the same fate, but the fate is the origin and extinction, the unexpected encounter in Guazhou and the reunion in the Lin Mansion are all fateful times, but unfortunately this fate is destined to be extinguished, but I don't know when the fate will be extinguished. Accept it when it comes, and end the pain when it dies. There's really no need to worry too much about what is yet to come. Thinking about it, Shen Xiaoxiao's mind was clear.
