What made Ci Yuehua feel strange was the daisy, after he watered it, the other party did not wither again, but it was always like the first time he saw it, the petals had not stretched out, and he didn't know if it was that species, or because the flower was too lazy.

The days passed day by day with such a plain but unusual warmth, a tree covering the sky, a flower adding fragrance, and a person watering and chanting.

Until one day, the originally cold and silent but serious and sensible child threw himself under the plum tree with his empty hands and cried, hoarse and extremely sad.

"I have no relatives anymore, Master is gone, I have no relatives anymore!"

"There is no one in this world who loves me anymore!"

Eight-year-old child, this is the first time to cry so sad and sad, no one to comfort him, no one to look for it, as if they have forgotten that there is such a person as him.

I don't know how long I cried, but Ci Yuehua finally calmed down, was depressed, and sat there without saying a word.

"Are you alright?" a crisp and pleasant voice gently drifted into his ears, sobering him up.

Ci Yuehua looked up, but he didn't see anyone, but he was sure that he didn't have auditory hallucinations, so he asked, "Who is talking?"

The voice seemed to hesitate for a moment, and reappeared when Ci Yuehua was about to hang his head in disappointment, but instead of answering his words, he continued to comfort him: "Don't be sad. ”

Ci Yuehua stood up and walked around but didn't find any figure, suddenly thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and asked in a voice full of anticipation and surprise: "Is it you?

Listening to his words, the voice didn't know whether it was hesitating to answer or unwilling to answer, and paused for a long time.

"Where are you? Why don't you come out to see me?" Qi Yuehua had already affirmed in her heart that it must be the one who has been helping her.

This time the voice spoke, "No. ”

Ci Yuehua was stunned: "What's not it?"

The voice said, "Come here." ”

Ci Yuehua was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Where?"

"Come to Daisy. ”

Ci Yuehua looked at it first, and there was nothing else except the lonely flower.

But he didn't hesitate, and walked directly to Chrysanthemum and said, "I'm here, can you come out?" ”

This time the voice didn't pause, but said, "You've seen it." ”

Ci Yuehua replied puzzledly: "No, there is no one here." ”

"You look down!" the voice came, and at the same time, Ci Yuehua felt something scratching her calf, so she subconsciously lowered her head to look, and found that the ugly and spiritless daisy was sweeping the hem of her clothes with an equally wilted leaf.

Ci Yuehua's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking directly at the daisy, there was no fear in her eyes, but curiosity and surprise occupied more.

Ci Yuehua squatted down, looked at Daisy with eye level and said, "You are the one who has been helping me, no, demon, no, thing?"

He didn't know what to call the other party, he wasn't human, but if he called it a demon, he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy.

"It's me, that's why I said no. ”

Only then did Ci Yuehua understand that the word "no" she answered just now turned out to mean that she was not a person.

"And what shall I call you?"

"They all say I'm a demon, so call me a demon!"

Ci Yuehua asked in surprise: "Then why did you appear in the territory of the Buddha Gate? If you are discovered, they will destroy you." ”

"But my roots are here, where can I be if I'm not here?"

"And how long have you been here?"

Daisy slowly shook her little flower, "I don't know, I've been here since I woke up, and I've been in a daze, or if it's your voice chanting that woke me up, if it's only conscious time, it should be the same as the time you chanted here." ”

"I see, so that time I and I, Master and I came here, you didn't move, are you afraid of being discovered by them?"

Seeing him like this, Daisy didn't answer his question, and quickly comforted him.

"Don't be sad when your master is gone, you still have me, and Amei, we will always be with you. ”

Ci Yuehua stared at Daisy with a pair of red eyes, as if repeating, "Will you really stay with me all the time?"

Daisy nodded decently, not only that, but it also put its own small leaves on each other's body, and slapped it soothingly, if it was not a thin chrysanthemum at the moment, it would give people the feeling of a mother comforting her son.

Ci Yuehua was also made to laugh and cry by its actions, and then looked at the plum blossom tree, and asked curiously: "You call it Amei, is it also a demon?"

Daisy quickly shuddered and replied: "No, no, no, it's so stupid, it hasn't even given birth to a spiritual intelligence, where can it be a demon? This name is also what I call it blindly, anyway, it doesn't have a name." ”

"And what about you? What is your name?" Qi Yuehua turned her gaze back again, looking at the other party expectantly, wanting to know its name.

Hearing this, the daisy's flower was crooked, and then a leaf scratched its flower, like a child meditating but scratching his head.

This action lasted for a while, and then I saw that its flowers were thrown harder, and a depressed voice came out: "I don't know, I don't remember!"

Ci Yuehua nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that you don't have a name either." ”

Where can Daisy admit that she doesn't have a name, the little flower is so upside down that Ci Yuehua is worried about whether it will be reversed in the next moment, "Who said I don't have a name, I have! I just forgot, I'm not the stupid plum tree, I have a name, I just don't remember, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ci Yuehua spread her hands and said: "But this is no different from nothing, I don't know what my name should be, in this case, what should I call you?"

Daisy doesn't care about him, just straighten the small flower stem that was not very upright, and raise the small flower that was wilted before, with a posture of "I care about you so much, anyway, I am a demon with a name".

Ci Yuehua rolled his eyes, and suddenly reached out and flicked the small flower, making the other party "ah", he smiled: "We have been together for so many years, and now we finally get to know each other, you can't feed and shout, otherwise how about I give you a name?"

After speaking, I saw the flowers on the stem move, and then a voice came out: "What name?"

"The moon is breezy, the smoke is dark and rainy, and the heavenly sect is haggard. Call you ......"

Before he could say the name he had in mind, he heard a sound of surprise, as if he didn't understand: "You are poisonous, why do you use such a sad poem to compare people?!"

Ci Yuehua was stunned for a moment and said: "This is not the meaning of sadness, but also the meaning of nobility and dust, I think it's good." ”

"What a ghost! I don't want such a metaphor, if I want to describe it, it should be 'If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will repay the peach blossoms together!' I want to be domineering and uninhibited, how can I be as sad and sad as you, extremely boring!"

......

Ci Yuehua felt speechless, her lips squirmed several times, and she could only ask her, "Then I'm thinking about it for you?"

"Don't, forget it, I'm older than you, why don't you call me Aunt Qing." ”

Ci Yuehua's forehead slid down a few black lines, and she refused directly without thinking about it, "No! You don't have to be as big as me, so I'll call you Xiaoqing?" After speaking, Ci Yuehua pulled her lips, obviously a small flower with white petals of astragalus, but she wanted to use a green character!

I felt awkward when I looked at it, so I changed my words again: "Then I'll call you Ju, and tell me when you remember your name." ”

Daisy's little leaf waved humanely: "Whatever you like, I don't care." ”

After talking, Ci Yuehua's mood was finally much better, and when he saw that the sky was about to twilight, he said with a straight face: "I should go back, and I have to keep a wake for Master, thank you today." ”

Daisy nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

Since then, Ci Yuehua has spent less and less time in the temple, and is basically accompanied by the same tree and flower on that small hill.

Originally, because of the abbot's death, the people of Pudu Temple didn't care much about him, and because of this, no one cared about Yuehua's absence from the door for a long time, until a chance coincidence later, the other party's qualifications and strength shocked everyone, and they were suddenly concerned again.

"I regret it, I shouldn't have made a rash move at that time!" Ci Yuehua sat under the plum tree with a bitter face and spat bitter water towards the daisy.

"People are like this, when there is good, they flock to you, and when they think you are useless, they turn their faces like turning out, there is no worst, only worse. Even these so-called monks are not exempt from vulgarity. Although Daisy had no face, Ci Yuehua could feel that the other party must have a very contemptuous and disdainful expression when he said this, mixed with a faint hostility.

Ci Yuehua sighed and said: "I naturally know, but, after all, this is the place that the master has guarded all his life, even if those people hate it, I will ...... It is impossible to turn a blind eye. ”

Daisy didn't speak, and she didn't know if she didn't agree or didn't have anything to say.

"Alas, forget it, although these people are annoying, but they are not evil people after all, just annoy, they are the same door after all. As soon as Ci Yuehua finished speaking, a red patch appeared in front of the meeting, and there were golden lines embedded in it.

He moved his gaze upward, and a middle-aged man was standing in front of him with a frown, wearing a bright red gold-patterned robe on his body, and a dragon-patterned vajra staff in his hand, which was the standard configuration of the abbot of Pudu Temple!

The abbot of Minghui passed away, and the abbot of Wisdom succeeded to the position of abbot.

At this moment, he stood between Ci Yuehua and Daisy, his face solemn, not angry and arrogant.

"Senior nephew, who were you talking to?"

Ci Yuehua's heart jumped, and she stood up and said, "The disciple didn't talk to anyone. ”

"Then why did the old man hear the voice?"

"The disciple is just talking to himself to relieve boredom. Ci Yuehua still maintained a calm and calm face, but his heart began to beat a drum, and he was not sure if the other party had heard Daisy's voice.

"If you are bored, you can exchange your analysis and experience of the scriptures with your fellow disciples, this place is deserted, it is really deserted, and you will only get more and more bored if you stay. ”

"Thank you, Abbot, disciple knows. After Ci Yuehua finished speaking, he saw him say "um", turned around and was about to leave, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but saw him stop again, turn around and walk towards Daisy.

Ci Yuehua's heart rose to her throat, and when she saw that the daisies in the other party were only one step away, she immediately spoke: "Abbot!"

The wise stride stopped, turned his head to look at Ci Yuehua, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"

"The disciple recently studied the scriptures and found that he did not understand something, and wanted to ask the abbot for advice. ”

Wise raised his lowered eyebrows and let out an unbelieving "oh", "With your qualifications and the scriptures you don't understand?" ”

Ci Yuehua pursed her lips and said: "The abbot's words have tormented the disciples, the Buddhist scriptures are broad and profound, how can the disciples study thoroughly." In the past, the Master helped me preach, but now ......"

Both of them understood the meaning behind this, and nodded wisely and thoughtfully: "Senior brother went early, and I have suffered you as a child, but fortunately you have been smart since you were a child and are willing to work hard." If there is anything you don't know in the future, you can come to me at any time. ”

Ci Yuehua nodded again and again, thanked him again, and then said, "Then why don't you go and have a look with your disciple now?"

Unexpectedly, the other party did not respond, but smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry." As he spoke, Wise turned his head back again, looked at the daisy, and asked, "Master and nephew, you often run here, don't you think there's anything wrong with this daisy?"

Ci Yuehua's eyes widened slightly, but she tried her best to calm down and said, "It's just a wild chrysanthemum, there's nothing wrong with it." ”

Hearing this, Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at him and said, "In this way, it seems that the things that Senior Brother taught you are still limited, so the old man will teach you the first thing today, to distinguish between demons and evils!"

After saying that, his hand directly grabbed the flower of the daisy, and saw that the gesture was to pull it out of the picture or directly unscrew the flower.

"Don't, stop!" Ci Yuehua was shocked by his sudden one-handed movement, and rushed over as fast as he could, grabbed Zhizhi's wrist, and stopped his movements.

Wise's face sank, "What are you doing here?"

Qi Yuehua's face was also ugly at the moment, he didn't expect that this person would pretend not to know when he heard their conversation, and attack Daisy in front of him. "Please also ask the abbot to be merciful!"

"It's a demon!" exclaimed Wise in a deep voice.

"The disciple knows, but she has never hurt anyone's life, but the abbot is about to kill her as soon as she comes up, and the disciple is really hard to accept!"

"If you don't hurt people's lives now, it doesn't mean that you won't hurt people's lives in the future, it's better to take precautions now and strangle that uncertainty in the cradle!"

"The abbot is too arbitrary, the monks are originally compassionate, how can the abbot be willing to hurt his life for that little uncertainty?!"
