In the meditation room where the flowers were viewed, after a long silence, there was only a sigh.

This sigh is neither from Guanhua nor from Xu Lu.

Guanhua turned back suddenly, and the bed was empty.

Only next to the table, there was a middle-aged man in black who sat in black, and the sound of sighing should have come from his mouth.

Looking at the flowers and bowing, he didn't ask who he was, but asked, "What about this benefactor, the girl who was lying on the bed?"

He did not shy away from the Tibetans in the meditation room, nor did he surprise the silent fall of the man in black.

He just wanted to know where Xu Lu had gone.

The man in black said, "My name is Emperor Que." ”

didn't answer Guanhua's question, and Guanhua didn't urge, just stared at Emperor Que with a calm face.

Emperor Que then said: "There is no girl, never." ”

Guanhua said: "The little monk is still talking to her. ”

Emperor Que said: "Just now, you are just talking to yourself, reciting over and over again to take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, and take refuge in the Sangha." ”

Guanhua suddenly said, "Refuge...... Miss Xu. ”

Emperor Que said decisively: "There is no Miss Xu." Never, never from the beginning. ”

Guanhua suddenly said angrily: "What do you know! She has always been there! I have seen her every day for the past ten years!"

Emperor Que said indifferently: "That's a demon, your inner demon." There has never been any Xu Lu, she is just a demon born in your heart after you saw death and didn't save it that year. She is the knot in your heart, so she keeps saying that you can't cross people. She's the obsession you leave behind after you can't cross people. ”

Guanhua said: "How can it be ......?"

Emperor Que said: "Think about it carefully, ten years have passed, has she never grown up, has she never changed." When have you touched her in the past ten years?"

Guanhua said: "The monks are not close to women, so naturally they can't touch her." ”

Emperor Que said: "Then how did she enter your meditation room?"

Guanhua was like being struck by lightning, he just thought of this, but he refused to face it. Yes, he couldn't remember how Xu Lu got into his room.

The monk's robe next to the pillow was not moved, and the vegetarian porridge at the bedside was poured out by himself every day. Even, Xu Lu, who couldn't move, had never had the need to be out of the gong in the past two days.

In the past ten years, they have seen each other in the bamboo forest every day, and they only meet in the bamboo forest, and no one knows that there is a girl named Xu Lu in the Xu family.

Except for himself, no one has ever seen this Miss Xu.

Guanhua remembered something, and suddenly said: "No! Two days ago, she was slighted and disheveled, and she killed that person." ”

Emperor Que said: "Think about it carefully, what did the person you think was injured by her resistance because you slighted Xu Lu, what did he look like when he met you." ”

What does it look like......

He remembered that the woodcutter had no wounds on his body, but was weak, as if he had not eaten for many days, unwounded, and withered inside.

"Do you remember? Is that the damage that a woman can do with just her resistance?"

Guanhua shook her head suddenly, sat in place, and sang loudly.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......

Emperor Que interrupted: "Your Buddha can't survive your suffering. ”

"The color of the relics is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for thinking and acting knowledge. ”

"Guanhua, what you need is self-help. You're going to let yourself go. ”

"The relics are the emptiness of all laws, unborn and imperishable, unpolluted and impure......"

"Smack!" a loud slap slapped on Guanhua's face. Guanhua was slapped to the ground, sat up again, and continued to read: "No increase, no decrease." Therefore, there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, and touch......"

Emperor Que raised his hand and slapped Guanhua in the face again. It's just that this time Guanhua has been prepared in his heart, and he has not been knocked to the ground again, and he has been chanting constantly. Emperor Que opened the bow left and right, and slapped Guanhua on his face over and over again, until his cheeks were red and swollen, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the Heart Sutra was recited for the fourth time, and he never stopped.

Di Que didn't know whether he was addicted or tired, sat back at the table, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Suddenly, I couldn't hold back and chuckled.

The indiscriminate bombardment did not stop Guanhua, but this laughter made Guanhua feel shocked, he stopped the scriptures and asked, "Are you laughing at me?"

Emperor Que said: "No, I think of an old man." ”

Guanhua said: "What old man?"

Emperor Que said: "A very wonderful old man, but now they are parting ways and going to opposition. ”

Guanhua said: "I haven't experienced such a thing, and I can't understand it. ”

Emperor Que said, "Isn't it in your Dharma story?"

Guanhua said: "Buddhism is all-encompassing, there must be such a story." It's just that I'm shallow and don't know yet. ”

Emperor Que said: "If you haven't experienced it, you don't know how it feels, how to benefit sentient beings." ”

Guanhua said: "So I can't cross people." ”

Emperor Que said: "You can't cross people, this conclusion was set by yourself ten years ago." If you can't get out of this confinement, you can't cross people. ”

Guanhua remembered something, and suddenly said: "Why is she disheveled." ”

Emperor Que said: "Because you want her to be disheveled." She is your desire, you want to have her, but your Buddha does not allow it. You see a seriously wounded person, and you want him to take your place. So when the woodcutter crawls in front of you for a long time, you hope that a humiliated Xu Lu will appear in front of you. ”

Guanhua said weakly: "I have been a monk since I was a child and studied Buddhism, but now I am so unscrupulous, I have failed to live up to my master's trust." ”

Emperor Que continued: "Ten years have been the same, seeing each other every day, and now sixteen is the age of spring thoughts. That's why you came up with the idea of returning to the world. Three days ago, you wanted to return to the vulgar, but the master refused, which triggered your heart's desire and distorted. ”

Guanhua said: "What should I do in the future? I am already a sinner, and I have lost my Buddha's heart. ”

Emperor Que said: "The Buddha was not born with a Buddha heart, as a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires. The five aggregates and six poisons, the Buddha said that it was a delusion, but I said, it is a human being. ”

Guanhua said: "Only people who do not have the five aggregates and six poisons can become Buddhas." ”

Emperor Que said: "Do you want to become a Buddha?"

Guanhua said: "Naturally." ”

Emperor Que said: "Why?"

Guanhua said: "Purify all sentient beings and save the world." ”

Emperor Que said: "Your so-called purifying sentient beings and saving the world is just for them to see it." But you can't see it yourself. ”

Guanhua said: "So I am no longer worthy of being a monk." ”

Emperor Que said: "If you are born with all five aggregates empty, you are not worthy of ferrying." For if you were born into a rich house, and did not know hunger or thirst, and advised the poor to look away, and not to sell your children for food, and to be hungry in your belly, and to drink and eat the earth, you can live. Isn't there a story about eating soil in your Buddhism?"

Guanhua said: "That's different. ”

Emperor Que said: "There is no difference. If you have not experienced it, how can you be qualified to guide others. ”

Guanhua said: "Then what have you experienced before you came to guide me?"

The emperor said: "The world." ”
