The dim light of the fire flickered.

Pure heart quietly kneels and looks up.

Subodhi walked from the window to his place step by step, and the shadow behind him swept over almost half of the Concentration Hall.

He sat down slowly with his knees propped up, reached out and gently tapped the chessboard on the side, and sighed softly: "These three realms are like a game of chess, the difference is that it is not as simple as black and white. ”

Qingxin looked at Subodhi with a puzzled expression.

Brushing his long beard, Su Bodhi gently played with the pieces on the chessboard and said: "In the Three Realms, not only the great power, but also humans, demons, beasts, and all things can be chess players. All living beings evolve under the rules of this Heavenly Dao, either multiplying or fighting, one after the other, competing with each other, and disturbing one after another. Every chess player has his own desires, his own past, his own troubles, his own position, and his own suffering...... In this world, he pursues what he wants, maybe it is fame, maybe it is profit, or it is just a simple way. Any living being is independent and not subordinate to anything else. ”

After a pause, Su Bodhi stretched out his hand to personally make a cup of tea for Qingxin, and said with a leisurely smile: "Tongtian is irritable; Yuan Shi is more cautious and less enterprising; Zhen Yuanzi is ambitious; and Lao Jun is gentle." As a teacher, it is too weak. In fact, the so-called great power is just one of thousands of chess players, the evolution of the Three Realms to this day, like the teacher of a few old guys handed down from ancient times, the reason why they seem to be so special, is just because we live longer, are used to seeing the changes of heaven and earth, than ordinary creatures, a little more experience. ”

Qingxin still looked at Subodhi quietly and did not say a word.

"Putting aside the years of extra life, in fact, the so-called power. Nothing. Push the teacup in front of Qingxin. Subodhi crossed his body with both hands in front of him. Turning his face sideways, he looked at the slightly swaying shadow on the bamboo curtain, and sighed softly: "Actually, the teacher has always thought that this is the right thing." The Three Realms must be developing in this direction, and right and wrong should be a battle on this chessboard. ”

Slowly closing his eyes, Su Bodhi said slowly: "But one day." Lao Jun suddenly achieved the way of heaven and cultivated inaction. This time...... Hey, the Three Realms are still the same Three Realms, chess players, but there is only one left. That's Lao Jun. Right and wrong, all are up to him alone. Anyone who does anything can't escape his eyes. With such a referee, what does it mean to be right or wrong?"

Because of this, Taoists gradually detached themselves from the world and devoted themselves to spiritual practice. Finally came out of a Buddhist gate. But it is also the doctrine of retreat, the Buddha. It has directly cultivated the Heavenly Dao Selfless...... Gradually, the Three Realms seemed to have reached a dead end and turned into a pool of stagnant water. It's hard to take half a step forward with all the qiē. ”

Qingxin bowed her head slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Opening his eyes, Su Bodhi said softly: "It has lasted for ten thousand years, the strong are strong, and the weak are weak. Heavenly Court suppressed the demons, and the blood flowed like a river, but mortals still sank into the sea of suffering. Cultivators only know the pursuit of immortality, but they forget the original 'Tao'. Life and death, death and death, in the end, even if it is an immortal, it is just living in another kind of suffering. Right and wrong, right and evil, there is no distinction between each other. Every inch of land in the Three Realms is stained with blood, but this blood is not shed for change, but only for maintenance. Sustain this ...... In fact, I am not satisfied with the world of Suva, and the peace of the prosperous world that will be shattered at the touch of a button. To live, in the end, is just to live. ”

Speaking of this, Su Bodhi suddenly laughed dryly and said, "You have already seen the memories of the previous two lives. What do you think, how about Wukong, how about the canopy, how about Yang Chan, how about the wind chimes and finch?"

Qingxin listened blankly, but did not speak.

Su Bodhi stroked his long beard and said, "They are just a corner of this world. All the efforts are to cover up their pain. But even if their pain is hidden, what about the pain of others?"

"Is it wrong for the Jade Emperor to maintain the balance of the Three Realms? Is it wrong for the Buddha to pursue the supremacy of the teachings? Is it wrong for the Heavenly General to follow the decree? Is it wrong for even that evil Jiao to betray his fellow clan in order to survive, in the final analysis, just to seek a place in this troubled world?"

Qingxin listened blankly.

"No one is at fault. Su Bodhi slowly shook his head and said, "In the end, it is not them who are wrong, and it is not even anyone in this world who is wrong, but the whole world itself. As long as the world can't move forward, then all the old pains will inevitably be repeated repeatedly, but in different people. ”

"When I chose to live in seclusion for my teacher, first, I didn't want to look at it anymore, and second, I couldn't do anything. Raising his head, Su Bodhi sighed softly: "Until one day, a monkey who had apprenticed three hundred years earlier came to the door of the teacher, reminding the teacher that there was a crack in the unbreakable way of heaven. Then a descendant came to the teacher and told him that if the suffering of sentient beings is the fault of the whole world, then he is willing to be reincarnated in ten lifetimes, even if he dies nine times in one life, and he must overcome the three worlds. ”

At this point, Subodhi paused and quietly stared at the pure heart.

Qingxin raised his head slightly and looked at his master.

"If you were a teacher, what would you do? It would be to give it a go, even if the Three Realms experienced a catastrophe, it would open up a new situation. Or do you continue to close your eyes and cover your ears and seek the Tao alone?"

"So, master...... Chose to give it a go?"

Subodhi nodded slightly.

"But...... But ......" Qingxin stood up and said a little helplessly: "Master, you pressed everyone to the gambling table, and nine senior brothers were killed because of this, as well as Wind Chime and Senior Brother Wukong. You said that you were for the common people, but the people of the Three Realms suffered heavy casualties in that catastrophe......!

"That catastrophe brought the Three Realms out of Lao Jun's control completely. Su Bodhi lowered his head and sipped his tea, and said: "Only in this way can the golden cicada's Pudu way be proven." This is called breaking and then standing. Everyone will pay the price, but everyone will also usher in new hope. Only in this way can the world continue to move forward when it has stopped. Blood, so that it will not be shed in vain. ”

Subodhi's tone was light, but with unparalleled firmness, which was irrefutable.

Qingxin was completely stunned.

Good for a while. She laughed slowly.

"Master. This price. Is it worth it?"

"Isn't it worth it?"

"Is it really worth it?"

The two looked at each other.

Qingxin looked at his master in a daze.

At this moment, there was an indescribable taste in her heart, a kind of sourness. Not only from the pure heart, but also from the wind chimes.

This righteousness cannot be refuted with a pure heart. But is the love of master and apprentice really so vulnerable in the face of this righteousness?

But isn't this a fact that I already knew clearly when I got that memory? Now it's just through the mouth of my own master.

The candle flame flickered slightly.

"Talk so much to the disciples, master. What do you want your disciples to do?"

"As a teacher, I want to fulfill your long-cherished wish. ”

"Which long-cherished wish?"

"That's it...... Let you and Wukong, a lover eventually become married. ”

"Are you sure this is a long-cherished wish of the pure heart?"

"Isn't it?"

"No!" replied categorically, "It may be the wish of the finch, the wish of the wind chime, but it is by no means the wish of the pure heart." Moreover, it has no value in any existence. ”

"Why?"

Taking a deep breath, Qingxin said slowly: "The finches and wind chimes have already been scattered. The past qiē has ended, so Qingxin asked the master not to mention it again. All I can think about now is how to settle the past. ”

Subodhi looked at the pure heart. After a while, he sighed softly: "I understand for the teacher." ”

After a moment of silence, Su Bodhi said again: "Then what if." These three realms, do you need to fulfill your original long-cherished wish?"

......

In the courtyard, Yuxuan sat quietly on a stone bench.

The dim candlelight peeked through the window behind her, illuminating the grass and trees in the courtyard.

Agarwood was wandering back and forth around, and Yu Xuan was nominally taking care of Agarwood for Qingxin, but her mind was all on the Concentration Hall behind her.

She couldn't hear what was going on in the Concentration Temple, but she could sense that it was something very important.

When she came back this time, her uncle faintly made her feel that some indescribable changes had taken place, and Su Bodhi was obviously a little different.

Since the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon moved to a new location, Subodhi is like a stone statue, it has always been someone else who has come to find it, and it is a question of whether he sees it or not, and he has really never heard who his master wants to see.

"What could it be?"

Yuxuan really can't figure it out.

In the distance, Agarwood, who had been wandering around alone for a long time, walked towards her and asked softly, "Sister, do you know how to change spells?"

"Yes. Yu Xuan nodded casually.

"So, can you help me turn into a ladder?"

"Ladders?"

Agarwood pointed to the big tree on the side and said, "I want to go to the top of the tree to see." ”

Hearing this, Yu Xuan immediately glanced at Agarwood, pulled him to his side, and said coldly: "Stay for me." ”

"Oh. ”

Agarwood had to shrink her head and stand aside obediently.

Time just ticked by.

Not long after, Yu Xuan saw Qingxin walk out of the Concentration Hall from a distance.

Before Yu Xuan could speak, Agarwood had already rushed over with the skirt of the robe, threw herself into Qingxin's arms, and cautiously looked back at Yu Xuan.

Yuxuan slowly walked to Qingxin's side, bowed down and said, "Uncle Shi." ”

Qingxin nodded silently, lowered his head and touched Agarwood's head, and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

After that, he took the agarwood and walked back.

Yu Xuan hurriedly followed.

"What did Uncle Shi and Master say?"

"It's nothing, it's just a trifle. ”

"Trivia, do you need to come to you in the middle of the night?"

Qingxin did not answer.

Behind him, in the concentrating hall, Subodhi lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain and watched from afar. (To be continued......)
