Volume 2 Heroes Out of Youth, Chapter 38 (3)

The first encounter between Guanhua and Xu Lu did not make waves, neither the enthusiasm of meeting late, nor the tacit indifference.

It's just that since then, in the daily routine of the little monk who has watched the flowers, there is one more trip to the bamboo forest.

He recites the scriptures in the bamboo forest every day, and Xu Lu is like Yan Ruyu who is summoned by the scriptures, and will always appear in front of the little monk at the end of the scriptures.

"If I go to the sword mountain, the knife mountain will destroy itself, if I go to the fire soup, the fire soup will dry up; if I go to hell, hell will destroy itself; if I go to the hungry ghosts, the hungry ghosts will be full; if I go to the Shura, disgusting and self-subdued; if I go to the beasts, I will gain great wisdom......" After a long time, Guanhua opened his eyes with some expectation, the blue veil was the same, and the Yiren stood beside him.

It's just that her expression today is less joyful than in the past, and her eyebrows are still smiling, but her smile is far-fetched.

Guanhua said: "The female Bodhisattva is here." ”

Xu Lu said: "I've said it many times, don't call me a female bodhisattva." ”

Guanhua said: "The female bodhisattva seems to have something on her mind today. ”

Xu Lu said helplessly: "I did encounter some troubles. ”

She no longer calls him a little master, but she is still his female bodhisattva.

Guanhua said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Xu Lu said: "It's hard to say. ”

Guanhua said: "Whether you can't say." ”

Xu Lu said: "I don't want to say it." ”

Guanhua said: "The Buddha said that people have seven sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, hatred, and can't ask for it. In this world, all living beings are suffering. ”

Xu Lu said: "Little monk, don't you have any troubles?"

Guanhua said: "Vientiane is nothing. ”

Xu Lu said, "What do you mean?"

Guanhua said: "All living beings are suffering, let go of it." ”

Xu Lu said: "Little monk, let me tell you, if you play dumb riddles with me like this, it will only make this girl more and more angry the more she listens." ”

Guanhua said: "The female bodhisattva has resentment in her heart, and she can beat the little monk to get angry." ”

Xu Lu said: "Am I such a vexatious person?"

Guanhua said: "No, so the little monk will not be beaten." ”

Xu Lu sneered: "I can't see that you are so big and have such scheming." ”

Guanhua said: "The female Bodhisattva has something in her heart, you can't say it, then you are willing to listen to the little monk tell the story." ”

Xu Lu said: "Okay." You said. ”

Guanhua said: "In the past, someone asked the monk: There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me, how to deal with it? ”

Xu Lu said: "How will it be in a few years?"

Guanhua said: "I am like this." ”

Xu Lu said: "What about him?"

Guanhua said: "He is like this." ”

Xu Lu said: "What's the difference?"

Guanhua said: "The suffering of the world becomes suffering, and the heart is not disturbed, and there is no resentment in impermanence." I am as I am, and I am at ease. He was still like this, full of resentment. ”

Xu Lu said: "Little monk, now I really want to beat you." ”

Guanhua said: "Why?"

Xu Lu said: "I can't understand a word of what you said. Didn't you say you were going to tell a story, what kind of story is this? ”

Guanhua said: "The person who asked the monk was also puzzled, and asked the same question as a girl." The monk said, "What should you do if someone spits in your face?"

Xu Lu said, "Are you asking me?"

Guanhua said: "How does the female bodhisattva answer?"

Xu Lu said: "Although I know that this is a story of spitting on my face, since you asked me and someone spat in my face, then I will still kill him." ”

Guanhua said: "It is a disciple of the old Buddhism, meditating and forbearing, without such hatred." ”

Xu Lu suddenly sighed and said, "Little monk, you can't cross me." ”

Guanhua said: "However, the little monk can accompany you." ”

Xu Lu suddenly spat at the little monk's shiny bald head, and then giggled again.

"Little monk, if you are not good at learning, I can't cross it, how to cross sentient beings. ”

"All sentient beings need to cross themselves, and all their obsessions and resentments are because they can't let go of themselves. ”

Time is still the same, and the girl and the little monk are gradually growing up in such a question and answer.

When Guanhua was sixteen years old, she suddenly made a decision.

He's going to marry her.

As she said, he can't cross the world, so he will spend his life crossing her.

So he came to the master's meditation room and knelt on the ground all day.

Listening to the master chanting the scriptures in the house, he was silent.

It wasn't until the twilight was about to set that the old monk in the meditation room called through the door: "Look at the flowers." ”

Guanhua said: "The disciple is here." ”

The old monk said, "How long have you been kneeling?" ”

Guanhua said: "The time is here, seven hours." ”

The old monk said, "Have you figured it out?"

Guanhua said: "I figured it out." ”

The old monk said, "You don't understand. ”

Guanhua said: "The disciple understands. ”

The old monk said: "Do you know where your obsession comes from." ”

Guanhua said: "My Buddha has crossed evil, and I have crossed one evil in ten lifetimes." In this life, I have devoted my life to compassion to one person. ”

The old monk said: "Disciple, what you want to cross is yourself." ”

Guanhua said: "Please ask the master to solve the doubts for the disciple." ”

The old monk said: "Eleven years ago, I met by chance in the bamboo forest, and the demons took root, and there is no solution to this day. ”

Watching the flowers and meditating, he knew what the master was referring to, but he was caught in it and couldn't extricate himself.

The old monk said again: "Not rescuing that woman has become your obsession, so now, you can't let go of the person in front of you." ”

Guanhua knew that what the master said was right, but she couldn't think about it and couldn't understand it.

The old monk said: "You think you are going to cross her, but in fact, you are crossing yourself, and she doesn't need you to cross." ”

Guanhua said: "But she is not happy." ”

The old monk suddenly laughed and said, "Women always have a reason to be unhappy. ”

Guanhua said: "The master understands women very well?"

The old monk said: "I used to understand it very well, but then I understood it too much, so I became a monk." ”

The moon was setting, and the master and apprentice who answered each other through the window had a laugh.

Guanhua didn't go to the bamboo forest on this day, he thought that if he didn't go on this day, he would be a long-term companion in the future. In the end, it was just a simple no-show.

So on the second day, he came to the bamboo forest early, chanted early, and called for Xu Lu's scriptures.

But that day, until sunset, Xu Lu did not appear.

Guanhua suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"Isn't she coming?"

Because of her failure yesterday, will she never come again in the future?

Are you wrong?

The little monk doesn't understand, he understands Buddhism, but he doesn't understand women.

"The master said that he understands women very well, should I ask him. ”

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a figure crawled in front of him, gradually approaching.

The bamboo forest in the moonlight, not seeing clearly, the little monk got up and walked towards the man, and saw that it was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be a woodcutter.

"Save ...... Save me......" He climbed a long way, struggling to move forward, and was so distracted that he didn't notice his approach.

At this time, Fang saw that Guanhua pressed his palms on the back of this person, and milky white ripples were slowly released from the palms of his hands, wrapping the dying woodcutter.

The woodcutter had no wounds, only weakness, as if he had not eaten for many days, unwounded, and depleted on the inside.

"Save ...... Help me......"
