Life is nothing more than gathering and separating again and again. Many people in the past could not see through it, but those who experienced the war years have long understood this truth.

The martial artist of Shaoyangchun's family, a group of four, rushed to Shaoxing at night.

As soon as the morning dawned, Shao Yangchun said goodbye to Yuantong and, escorted by his own martial artist, marched to Lin'an Mansion. Before leaving, he left a lot of silver taels. After Li Xiaoqian's chatter, he accepted it all.

Looking at Shao Yangchun's frame gradually moving away, disappearing at the end of the streets and alleys of Shaoxing Mansion. I was a little reluctant in my heart. Jiang Meier's voice and smile appeared in my mind from time to time, and the regret in my heart was indescribable.

I sighed: "Why did she marry a bad old man at her flower-like age?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "Don't talk about your era, even when we are nine hundred years later, it is not uncommon. ”

I was taken aback by what he said and said, "Nine hundred years from now?"

Li Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Master, I'll go back and pack my things." With that, he walked towards the inner hall of the Shaoxing Inn.

I looked at Li Xiaoqian's back and suddenly felt that he was a very mysterious figure. Along the way, many of his words are peculiar, incomprehensible, and even out of place in this era.

At the beginning, I thought that he may have lived in some remote places in the north, south, and western regions, and because of the differences in living environment and language habits, he was different from us.

But at this time, he said, nine hundred years later......

I asked Yuantong, "Master, do you know what he means?"

Yuantong said, "Yes." ”

I asked, "What do you mean?"

Yuantong said: "The Buddha said: 'Don't say.'" ”

He always said things I didn't understand at all. It always gives people a feeling of answering the wrong question, which inexplicably annoys you, but you are afraid of his strong martial arts and dare not attack.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over, holding a handful of broken silver in his hand, and said: "Master, thank you for your righteous action last night, saving the lives of many people in the shop. ”

I saw that Li Xiaoqian had disappeared at the end of the stairs, so I said, "Give it to me, I'll keep it for the master." ”

"Nope. ”

Suddenly, Yuantong shouted, and stretched out one hand to grab the silver, but halfway through it, he paused, and after a while, he turned into a vertical palm, pushed it into the shopkeeper's hand, and said, "Don't!"

Why? Why is the same approach not being treated the same?

I don't understand.

I still didn't give up, and said to the shopkeeper, "Just give it to me." I'll keep it for the master. ”

The shopkeeper gave me a blank look and said, "The master has said no, what are you fooling about!"

I said, "Are you reluctant?"

The shopkeeper was anxious: "Fart." You didn't save people, what's the difference between giving them to you and giving them to robbers?"

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that he saw through my identity?

Along the way, I tried my best to hide the traces of my former bandits. Although at that time I was just a handyman in a bandit's den and had never participated in a robbery. But I am always worried that I will leave a bandit on my body and let others notice.

Actually, in the eyes of others, I never looked like a bandit.

After breakfast, we left the Shaoxing Inn. Before leaving, Li Xiaoqian ignored Lu You's dislike, grabbed Lu You's hand and refused to let go, and said some inexplicable words in his mouth: "It would be nice to have WeChat, and you can scan a code, damn the old society." ”

Bidding farewell to the Lu You brothers and sisters, we embarked on the journey to Lin'an.

At this time, maybe YTO and Li Xiaoqian were used to me following them, or maybe they didn't care whether I existed or not. Anyway, I followed them, and they didn't raise the slightest objection.

However, when Li Xiaoqian arrived in Lin'an, he wanted to go to Liuhu Academy. Although YTO did not say where it was going, it was obvious that the end point was also Lin'an. And I can only wander between heaven and earth in confusion, haunting the two of them like a lonely ghost.

The next day, we arrived at Lin'an Mansion.

Standing on the edge of the West Lake, looking at the rippling waters of the lake, the sky reflecting the sun, infinitely green, poetic and picturesque. The breeze blows, and the weeping willows on both sides of the strait flutter charmingly, making a "rustling" sound.

West Lake, it's so beautiful!

This is my heartfelt sigh. At that time, I fled south with Master Eight Spears from the north, crossing countless mountains and rivers, but none of them could compare to the West Lake.

Li Xiaoqian said, "Master, where are you going?"

Yuantong pointed to a tall tower on the edge of the West Lake and said, "Leifeng Pagoda." ”

Li Xiaoqian shouted: "Damn, will Fahai be there? Bai Suzhen is not there?"

Yuantong said: "Who is Fahai, and who is Bai Suzhen?"

Li Xiaoqian told us such a story:

Once upon a time, there was a white snake in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, which had been cultivated for a thousand years and became a beautiful goblin, with another beautiful snake spirit - Xiaoqing, who came to the West Lake to play together, and met Xu Xian in the rivers and lakes, the two fell in love at first sight, became a couple, and gave birth to a child. Later, Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, found out that Bai Suzhen was a goblin and wanted to get rid of her, so he used Xu Xian to trick him into Jinshan Temple and locked him up. Bai Suzhen's request for her husband was rejected by Fahai, and in a fit of anger, she used her magic power to lead the Qiantang River to flood Jinshan Temple, killing and injuring countless people. Then, Fahai pressed Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Tower. Later, Bai Suzhen's son was admitted to the top prize, begged the emperor for mercy, and ordered Bai Suzhen to be released, and the family was reunited.

After listening to this story, I was very moved and said, "It is a happy ending for a lover to finally become a family." ”

Yuantong said: "One dynasty and the first is better than a thousand years of cultivation, and the mana is boundless than the power. ”

Li Xiaoqian was stunned, and suddenly had a look of enlightenment, and said excitedly: "Master Gao Jian, one word to break the mystery. ”

As we spoke, we walked to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda.

Leifeng Pagoda is a five-story tower made of wood on the outside and brick on the inside. Since the relocation of the capital to Lin'an, Leifeng Pagoda has become one of the objects of protection of the imperial court, after several renovations, the momentum has been better than countless years.

Li Xiaoqian sighed twice and said, "This tower is really ugly, far worse than when we were then." ”

I asked, "What were you like then?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It's better than this." ”

Yuantong suddenly tidied up his clothes, knelt on the ground uprightly, and after bowing three times to Leifeng Pagoda, he muttered Buddhist scriptures, and read them, and two lines of tears flowed down.

I asked Li Xiaoqian, "What's wrong with the master?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "The master has found a belonging. ”

After a long time, Yuantong stood up, turned back, pointed to a hill about 100 meters high, and said, "I want to build a temple here." ”

Li Xiaoqian asked, "Master, what temple do you want to build?"

Yuantong thought for a while and said, "Temple of Confession." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "This name is not very good, I am afraid it will affect the incense." ”

Yuantong silently. Li Xiaoqian said again: "It is better to take the homonym of "confession" and call it Zen Hui. The Buddha said, with deep Zen wisdom, enlighten people. All people, including themselves, enlighten themselves with profound Zen wisdom, and also have the intention of repentance. ”

Yuantong smiled, never so brightly.

I will always remember that smile.
