Chapter 59: Old Things

The back gate of the Pure Moon Temple, inside the orchard.

After the consecration ceremony, Master Guoxin only felt that the hard work of the past had finally paid off, and he couldn't help but smile, as if the melons and fruits in the orchard smelled so fragrant tonight, and he couldn't help himself.

So, she stretched out her hand, and a strawberry was slightly washed in the mountain spring water, and then floated into the mouth of Master Guoxin.

The sweetness melted into his mouth, and Master Guoxin's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's so sweet! It seems to have found the taste of the gluttonous mouth when I was a child again.

"Senior Sister Guocheng, come out, I have seen your footprints. Master Guoxin didn't look back, and his expression didn't change at all.

I saw an old lady with gray hair coming out from behind the circle of the orchard, whose sheepskin hat had been taken off and held in her hand, and walked out with a complicated face.

This old lady is Hins Cheung's mother.

I saw the old man caressing the melon and fruit fields and the pillars of the roof with his hands, and the familiar patterns on the pillars silently told the thirty years.

The old man turned his head, tears were already flashing, and he looked at Guo Xin and said, "Senior sister, the master's last wish has finally come true!"

Master Guoxin smiled while washing his hands: "Is it that my junior sister can't find you, so you won't appear!"

Senior Sister Guocheng couldn't help but be stunned: "You call that fox Senior Sister?"

Master Guoxin said lightly: "When you left the Jingyue Nunnery thirty years ago, the master punished you on the surface, but in fact he was very sad. The master liked her the most when she was alive, but she has been busy with everything recently, and I am afraid that the little junior sister will secretly break the killing ring again. ”

Senior Sister Guocheng nodded: "The orchard in the backyard of Jingyue Nunnery is the nunnery of the temple back then, right?"

Master Guoxin nodded, looked at Senior Sister Guocheng, who had not been seen for a long time, and said: "Yes, don't you and my sister still know? This is the origin of the name of the Beidi Temple, when this temple appeared out of thin air, the people in the village thought that the Bodhisattva appeared, so they named this temple. In fact, it was brought by the master who cast a spell, and don't you also live in the Beidi Temple now? It's actually a good place. ”

Suddenly, he said abruptly: "Senior sister, you are a lot older!"

Senior Sister Guocheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The world is so troublesome, and my son is not worried, and slowly this is what he looks like." ”

Master Guoxin couldn't help but be stunned and said, "No, how can you age so quickly?

Senior Sister Guocheng looked at Master Guoxin's youth-like face and said, "I was not as determined as you back then, and the master gave me a character in the Dharma name, hoping to encourage me." But I know my own affairs, I have demons in my heart, how can I cultivate this Heart Sutra to a realm like you?"

Master Guoxin couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Guocheng's face, the years had already carved into the old man's face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth seemed to tell the story of the thirty years of the world.

Here and now, it's like seeing it for the first time!

Fifty years ago, the dilapidated abbot of the Beidi Temple, Master Ruyu, retrieved two little girls from the mountains, both of whom were abandoned children after the ancient demons slaughtered the village.

This is where they first met.

In the troubled times, the two of them are so miserable.

In troubled times, they are so lucky.

Senior Sister Guocheng was silent, but she was a little sluggish when she first went up the mountain.

But when the two little girls met, they immediately became close friends.

Reciting sutras together, offering to the Buddha together, and maintaining the orchard together sensibly to help the master reduce the burden.

At that time, the orchard facilities were far less complete than they are today, and in the winter the orchards were actually planted with rice.

At that time, rice was the life-saving food.

In the face of life and death, melons and fruits are, of course, just the thoughts of gluttonous children.

But the days were hard and happy.

Unlike Senior Sister Guocheng, Master Guoxin is lively and cheerful.

Senior Sister Guocheng, who once witnessed her parents being slaughtered by the ancient demons in front of her, is haunted by what she has experienced, but the Northern Buddhism Gate is the ultimate sight of killing karma, and there are many ways to promote the cycle of killing karma when she enters, so the first commandment is to quit killing.

But she felt that her parents' life should not be like this.

Could it be that the ancient demons slaughtered my loved ones, shouldn't I take revenge?

I don't want to.

So Senior Sister Guocheng has been leading the practice, and the master thinks that her roots are not broken.

This is also the reason for going down the mountain and leaving Shizun's side.

In fact, of course, these two close friends who used to talk about everything discussed this matter, but Master Guoxin held a different opinion: "There are tens of millions of people slaughtered by the ancient demons, you and I are just two ordinary people wandering in the world. Of course, their parents have entered the cycle of reincarnation, maybe they will be the ones who will come again, maybe they will be creatures in the mountains and fields, or maybe they will be the plants and trees. But it doesn't matter to you anymore, if you don't let go of this thought, senior sister, you are only afraid that it will be difficult to break through the demons in your heart and break through the door of the middle realm of Buddhism. ”

Finally, the conflict broke out when the city lord Zhang Shiqian visited the master of the Beidi Temple.

Senior Sister Guocheng insisted on going down the mountain to help eliminate the demons, but her master did not want Senior Sister Guocheng to be contaminated with that monstrous killing karma.

After many years of parenting, Master Ruyu has long regarded these two girls as if they were out, called master and apprentice, and in fact they are really loved like their own daughters.

Finally, Senior Sister Guocheng still went down the mountain.

For example, Master Yu watched her go away, so he forbade her not to return to the mountain during her lifetime. At that time, Senior Sister Guoxin just watched all this behind her master and secretly wept.

Later, when Fengxian City gradually became large-scale and established a defense system in the city, Senior Sister Guocheng out of curiosity and novelty and the old city lord Zhang looked at her face similar to his sister, and somehow allowed her to engrave the mantra of the Buddha's concentration in the core seat.

Unintentionally, the power of the defensive magic circle far exceeded the pre-design of the elders of the Jing Shi Sect at that time, but of course he didn't think that a little girl could have any effect, and he thought that it was still the power of his own Jing Shi Sect's Dao Method.

And with the death of the old city lord Zhang Shiqian, no one knows the origin of Senior Sister Guocheng.

Then, as the situation in Fengxian City became clearer and clearer, Senior Sister Guocheng, who was already pregnant, lived in the Beidi Temple.

When the master passed away, this senior sister Guocheng knelt outside the temple gate in tears but was not allowed to enter, and she had no face to see the master again.

Today, Jingyue Nunnery finally held a consecration ceremony in the original dilapidated Beidi Temple, plus Senior Sister Guocheng found the Beidi Fox knocking on the door and playing, and now the little junior sister finally mustered up the courage to meet each other cheekily.

She was relieved that the sisters hadn't seen each other for years.

But there is no barrier at all.

Although their faces are no longer young, the hearts of the two sisters seem to have never left.
