Volume 2 The Human World Chapter 25: The Past
In less than a cup of tea, the sky began to rain heavily, and the street vendors quickly gathered their things and ran home.
Those pedestrians without umbrellas had to hide under the eaves, look at the pouring rain, shake their heads and sigh.
The mandarin ducks in the water also hid under the bridge, and they depended on each other in pairs, warm and sweet.
Yang Jian and Sun Wukong entered the inn opposite.
"Oh, the two sons, it's better to live in the hotel!"
"Accommodation, two upper rooms. Yang Jian put a silver ingot on the table.
"Okay!" the shopkeeper put away the money, and his eyebrows were full of smiles.
When he arrived at his room, Yang Jian stood in front of the window, looking at the mandarin ducks snuggling up to each other, and was fascinated for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Jian came back to his senses and found that Sun Wukong was standing behind him.
Silent............
The two stood like this for a long time, and finally Yang Jian spoke: "I think about how loving she and my father were when my mother was still there. ”
Yang Jian looked out the window, and the rain was falling even more.
"The Great Sage should know that the Jade Emperor has a sister surnamed Yao and a concubine. Yao, Meiyu also. She has lived in heaven since she was a child, and she loves to go to the back garden of heaven to play. She loved the gurgling water and the gentle breeze, and always stayed there all day long, listening to the melodious song of the birds and smelling the faint fragrance of the flowers. When she is hungry, there are emerald green birds that bring her sweet and delicious fruits and delicacies, and when she is thirsty, flowers and green grass offer her sweet and delicious dew.
However, the heavenly court is not like the mortal world, there are thousands of heavenly rules that bind the immortals. Although there is no life and no death, after a long time, you will feel lonely and bored, and the same is true for Yao Ji. One day, Yao Ji ran down to the mortal world while the Jade Emperor was playing chess with Hongjun Ancestor. When Yao Ji arrived in the world, she found that this place was very different from the heavenly court.
In the world, couples in pairs abound, but in the heavenly court, it is those cold rules and regulations. Yao Ji has been in the human world for a long time, and she no longer misses the life of the heavenly court, but takes root in the mortal world.
One day, Yao Ji went out into the streets. Yao Ji is as beautiful as a fairy, with an outstanding temperament, every time she goes out, thousands of people empty the alley, and the pedestrians on the street will surround her.
It's just that on this day, she ran into a well-known local bully. This bully kills people and arsons on weekdays, does all kinds of evil, and is very lustful. When the bully saw Yao Ji, he pounced without saying a word, wanting to do that reluctantly thing in public. As a fairy, how could Yao Ji allow bullies to be presumptuous. I saw Yao Ji slap the bully to the ground, turn around and leave.
The bully scolded and called the servant, wanting to forcibly take Yao Ji away. At this moment, a scholar stood in front of Yaoji. This scholar looks gentle and weak, but when it comes to fighting, he can fight against three. In order to protect Yao Ji, the scholar fought with the three of them with his bare hands. But the bully was ruthless, so he took out a long knife and pointed it at the scholar. Suddenly, blood splattered, one of the scholar's arms was cut off, and the scholar fell to the ground, convulsed for a while, and then passed out.
Finally, Yao Ji couldn't bear it anymore and used a spell to knock the bully and his party unconscious, and took the scholar back to her residence.
Looking at the unconscious scholar, Yao Ji was quite moved, so she used a spell to connect the broken arm for the scholar.
Three days later, the scholar woke up and saw that Yao Ji was fascinated, Yao Ji looked at him, and her heart suddenly moved, this was a feeling she had never had, and then she understood that this feeling is called love.
A year later, Yao Ji gave birth to a son named Yang Jian. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jian stopped. At this point, the rain outside also stopped.
"And what happened later?" asked Sun Wukong.
Later, after another eighteen years, the Jade Emperor finally discovered that Yao Ji had gone down to earth without permission, and married a mortal and gave birth to a son. The Jade Emperor was furious and personally went to the lower realm to capture Yao Ji back to Heaven and crush Yao Ji under Peach Mountain.
At that time, Yang Jian went to learn art and was not at home, so he escaped, but his father was not so lucky, and was killed on the spot by the heavenly soldiers and generals, and his soul was scattered.
After another three years, Yang Jian returned from school, split the peach mountain to rescue his mother, the Jade Emperor was moved by Yang Jian's sincerity and perseverance, coupled with Yang Jian's skills, the Jade Emperor ignored the previous suspicions, let Yao Ji reincarnate as a man, summoned Yang Jian to heaven, and became the true monarch of Zhaohui Xiansheng Erlang. ”
"So, have you been to your mother?" asked Sun Wukong.
"It's been thousands of years, and I've been reincarnated for dozens of lifetimes, and I can still find it. Yang Jian shook his head.
"However, if you think about it from another angle, there is nothing wrong with the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Rules. After being silent for a while, Sun Wukong said.
Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong.
"Immortals are immortal, mortals live only a hundred years, if the immortals are happy for that moment, move the hearts of mortals, after mortals die, it will be endless pain.
When I thought about learning the scriptures back then, passing by the daughter country, my grandson could see that the master was really emotional, but he didn't stay, but chose to go to the Da Lei Yin Temple to retrieve the scriptures and Pudu sentient beings. Now that I think about it, if the master had stayed at that time, there would not have been the current Zhantan Merit Buddha, and after a thousand years, the king of the daughter country might not even have any bones left, and the master could only suffer by himself. Sun Wukong said.
Yang Jian was silent again.
"If two immortals love each other, it's even more incredible. Ordinary people only live for decades, what about immortals? There is no life and no death, and when the short-term pleasure of love passes, it is torture. And the immortals should have broken off the seven emotions and six desires, if they can't even do this, then what's the difference between them and mortals?" Sun Wukong said these words seriously. Now he has completely lost the stubbornness when he learned the scriptures, and has replaced him with stability. Now he is more like a Bodhi who has gained the Dharma.
"Even if it is an immortal, how can it be possible to completely break off the seven emotions and six desires, you look at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, as well as the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, they are the best examples. Yang Jian said.
"Lao Sun knows. Sun Wukong walked over, patted Yang Jian's shoulder, and comforted: "It seems that you still can't let go of this matter, it's okay, these are all in the past, time will dilute everything." ”
Yang Jian didn't answer Sun Wukong, still looking out the window.
The sky was overcast, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
