Chapter 811: Returning to the Homeland (Part II)
The four of them came to the temple and visited Master Xuankong again, but they saw that the white-bearded elder was still the same, but he seemed to be under the fairy wind bones, and his face was a little haggard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoMaybe Master Xuankong has a fate, Tang Zhan and the others came here to pay a visit, and they couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in their hearts, and they could only look at the ancestral hall of the incense case in front of them, seemingly calm, but in fact, they felt a lot of emotion......
"Please sit down...... Master Xuankong folded his hands and looked at the platform, and just said softly, "It's a pity that the war is troubled, the poor and the poor, the cold house only has a few teas, two pillars of incense, if there is not enough thoughtfulness, please ......."
"Senior, counting the day I left Bianliang, I haven't seen ...... for two years," Tang Zhan knelt on the futon and said quietly, "Two years ago, the master's earnest teachings to the juniors were remembered by the juniors. Coming today, the younger generation still misses it, so I came to ...... again."
After that, Tang Zhan got up slowly, walked slowly in the direction of the incense case, picked up a pour of incense, and prepared to pray for incense as he did two years ago, in order to seek peace of mind.
Everyone was behind them, watching Tang Zhan's every move, and their hearts were touched. For a while, the entire ancestral hall was extremely quiet, without the trouble of noise, without the hustle and bustle of disturbing the world - it was the same two years ago, when Tang Zhan had a knot in his heart that was difficult to untie, Master Xuankong told him that he just let him put aside his distracting thoughts, calmly and quietly put a stick of incense on the ground, relieve the entanglement in his heart, and obtain the truth of the world......
But today is a little different, when Tang Zhan was about to put on incense, wanting to calm the pain of the death of relatives and friends, but saw that on the incense burner, there were three unburned incense sticks in the center. Tang Zhan seemed to understand something, stopped the movement in his hand, and said quietly: "Three incense sticks, the same as two years ago...... Two years ago, in order to practice the Zichuan brothers, you specially prayed for three incense sticks. The three incense sticks represent the three disciples of the predecessors, but now these three incense sticks are extinguished before they are burned out......"
"The old body already knows...... Master Xuankong looked solemn, and slowly took Tang Zhan's words, "You came here today just to tell the old body about their death, Zichuan, but you are afraid that the old body will be sad, and you don't know how to ...... it."
"It turns out that you know all about the seniors......" Tang Zhan stood in front of the case and sighed in a low voice.
"Yesterday, there was a lot of war in the city, and the old man was in the temple, burning incense and praying for the three disciples, but it was extinguished and damaged by the strong wind in front ......of the case," Master Xuankong said in a low voice, "The old body has already predicted, the number of days has been decided, and the fate is like this, Zichuan and them, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe...... The destiny of heaven is hard to disobey, after all, it is still a burial battlefield, although he died, but he also did his best in life, I really don't know whether it is happy or sad......"
Everyone didn't respond, just silently listened to Master Xuankong's exclamation.
Master Xuankong continued: "The old body once told Zichuan that although he had the desire to gallop on the field, because he asked for too many ideals, he lost the most precious thing in the world...... He died on the battlefield, died heroically, and fulfilled the last wish of his ancestors, but he lost his brother, his wife, and his friends who cared about him the most, how could it matter?"
When Tang Zhan heard about it, he felt a faint pain in his heart, thinking that Master Xuankong was already at an advanced age, but all his disciples died, if it weren't for the repeated changes in the war, all of this could actually be avoided. Even if it is determined by the destiny of heaven, people can also change, but what is said now, everything is irreversible.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhan silently said guiltily: "I'm sorry, senior......"
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Zichuan and the others have their lives, and we have to change ......them," Master Xuankong continued, "but the people of the living, not because they miss the deceased too much, they can see the end of others, but they can't always see their own way out...... Tang Shaoxia, who came to this temple to worship, all prayed or asked for enlightenment with sincerity, and should not be sad and confused...... I still have knots in my heart, but I think too much about the lives of others, why?"
"Hmm......" Tang Zhan seemed to be right, but he was puzzled and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Since you have incense in your hand, why don't you pray in front of the case?" Seeing that Tang Zhan lit incense, but did not bow for a long time, Master Xuankong said again, "Tang Shaoxia also said just now, you remember the teachings of the old body two years ago, but now, why are you hesitating?"
Only then did Tang Zhan notice that the incense he had lit was about to burn out half, but he hadn't plugged in the incense burner yet. Although it was difficult to understand in his heart, he couldn't help but worry about himself, even before Zhao Zichuan finally parted with himself and Lu Jing, he also let himself pray for incense and enlightenment. Tang Zhan settled down, so he paid homage to the incense and left......
A wisp of green smoke slowly rose, Tang Zhan's heart was inexplicably fragrant, although he was not as optimistic and calm in the world as he was two years ago, but he also had a trace of understanding......
Immediately, Tang Zhan turned around, as if he had understood himself again, faced Master Xuankong, and said calmly and soberly: "I understand, senior, people can't be resurrected after death, and they miss too much but the past of others...... The death of a deceased friend, the grief of the heart, but I can't give up my original wish. Instead of being sad, it is better to turn grief into an attack, continue to strengthen the original belief, and move forward - thank you, seniors, juniors understand ......"
Master Xuankong nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "No need to thank the old body, in fact, Tang Shaoxia, you know better than anyone what your heart wants, and you don't need others to enlighten you...... In the final analysis, it is no different from two years ago, incense is applied to seek peace of mind, and the troubles will dissolve by themselves. As soon as the afflictions are removed, the source of the mind will be able to see clearly, and no matter what the fate of others ends, your own will will never change......"
"Well, I understand my predecessors-" Tang Zhan showed a long-lost smile and said firmly, "Even if my old friend passes away, I will continue to strengthen my ideals, go north, expel Meng Yuan, and complete my common aspirations and those of the Zichuan brothers!"
Seeing Tang Zhan regain his confidence, Xiao Tian and the others were also very relieved - this was not only Master Xuankong's enlightenment of Tang Zhan, but also benefited a lot from this teaching, looking at his own body......
After untying the knot, everyone rested for a while and wanted to leave here. However, Su Jia seemed to have an unanswered heart and a hesitant expression.
Everyone was about to get up and say goodbye, but Xiao Tian saw Su Jia's melancholy expression and couldn't help asking, "Jia'er, what's wrong with you?"
"That, actually, I ......," Su Jia said rarely, "I have some things that I want to ...... I want to ask the senior master of Xuankong......"
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was a little surprised when he heard this, "Since there is, why didn't you say it just now, and then bring it up when you have to leave?"
"Because I want to ......," Su Jia said a little reservedly, "I want to consult Master Xuankong alone, so I ......"
Xiao Tian seemed to understand, nodded, and then said: "Okay, Jia'er, if you have any questions, just ask, anyway, don't be in a hurry...... Brother Tang Zhan and Sister Jing and I are waiting outside, Jia'er, when are you done, come out and tell us-"
"Okay......" Su Jia nodded lightly in agreement, and Xiao Tian and the others left the ancestral hall and went to wait outside the temple......
Su Jia was left alone in the ancestral hall with Master Xuankong, looking at the back of Master Xuankong meditating and praying, Su Jia's heart was faintly uncertain.
"Miss Li...... No, Miss Su, it's been a long time......" Master Xuankong still remembered Su Jia and greeted kindly.
"Yes, senior, I haven't seen you for a long time......" Su Jia said a little "timidly", "The last time we met, it was two years ago, and the teachings of the seniors to ......the juniors have not changed."
"What does Miss Su mean, what the old body once said about the 'vicissitudes of a hundred lives'?" Master Xuankong said.
"I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect my predecessors to really remember ......," Su Jia replied softly.
"How can you not remember what you said twice?" Master Xuankong smiled lightly, and then said slowly, "'The difficulties in the world are led by love, and they do not go through the vicissitudes of life, and they are light and light, and there is no reason for it, and this is not love...... This sentence, the old body has already told Miss Su twice, it seems that the sophistication experienced in the past two years has made Miss Su feel a lot of emotion......"
"Hmm......" Su Jia nodded slightly.
"The old man thinks to himself, Miss Su asked the old body alone this time, not just reminiscing about the past......" Master Xuankong smiled kindly and continued, "In fact, in the old body's opinion, Miss Su, you must also have a knot in your heart that cannot be untied, but you are embarrassed to mention it in front of your friends......"
"Hmm......" Su Jia continued to agree, and then asked a little shyly, "Senior, ...... Do you know how to interpret dreams?"
"Dream interpretation?" Master Xuankong also smiled with curiosity in surprise when he heard this, "Why did Miss Su say this?"
Su Jia paused and continued: "That's the case, senior...... These days, when I sleep and dream, I always think of the painful experiences of my relatives and friends who have passed away...... I originally thought it was because I was confused by the war and tired, but every time I dreamed, it was a picture, a picture that people didn't want to remember anymore......"
Master Xuankong thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Then Miss Su, what did you dream of?"
"I dreamed that the dead little red sister ......," Su Jia continued, "it is the maid sister who took care of me from childhood to adulthood when I was chasing the wind...... I dreamed that before Sister Xiaohong died, she kept calling my former name and real name, and I dreamed again and again that she was slowly dying in front of me, and that feeling was really uncomfortable and painful...... Moreover, every time I wake up in a dream, I don't know why, I always feel uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that something bad will happen...... Senior, I say so, you...... You won't laugh at juniors, right?" Su Jia was still a little restrained and embarrassed.
When Master Xuankong heard this, he closed his eyes and said kindly: "How can it be? It is normal for people to meet dreams, since they see many dreams, there must be a cause and ......."
"Meaning...... Senior, can you help me interpret it?" asked Su Jia with a little wistfulness.
"Not sure......" Master Xuankong shook his head, and then said, "Otherwise, like Tang Shaoxia, Miss Su, you are also calm, and put a stick of incense in front of the case......"
Su Jia thought about it, and it was useless to say more for no reason, so she stood up from the futon, and like Tang Zhan, she threw away all the distracting thoughts in her heart, lit a stick of incense, and bowed to the front of the case......
However, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the temple, blowing the incense burner in front of the case. Before Su Jia had time to put on the incense, the incense burner in front of the case was almost blown down.
"Eh-" Su Jia's eyes were quick, and she reached out to hold the incense burner to prevent the incense burner from falling off the stage.
However, it was just a simple scene, and Master Xuankong saw it, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was slightly restrained......
"That's it, senior......" Su Jia turned her head and asked with a smile after finishing the incense.
"It seems that karma is uncertain...... Master Xuankong said shallowly.
"What are you talking about, senior?" Su Jia couldn't help but ask when she heard the "punch line".
Master Xuankong thought about it, and seemed to see something in the fate, and couldn't help but mention: "Miss Su, the old dream body can't be solved, but the fate can be vaguely seen......
"What...... What do you mean?" Hearing the "unbelievable" words, Su Jia asked a little nervously.
Master Xuankong seemed to have something else in mind, and suddenly thought: "In this way, the old body asks you a question, and you answer truthfully, and the old body can see your fate one step back......"
"Former ...... Senior, may I ask ......" After Su Jia listened, her heart became more and more nervous.
Master Xuankong calmed down, and then asked: "This is how it is—not long ago, Mo Tianxing, the head of the Wind Chasing Sect, that is, Miss Su, your mentor and also an enemy, came to meet the old man...... You should also know that although Mo Tianxing and Lao Shen are very different in age, they are from the same school, and they are both disciples of Master Xuanqing, so he came to meet him, which is actually a sacrifice to his mentor, Master Xuanqing......"
"Mo Tianxing......" Hearing this name, Su Jia's expression changed slightly.
"The old body knows, Miss Su, you are the widow of Su Ren and Lin Yufei, and Mo Tianxing, who killed Er's own father, is naturally the enemy ......who killed his father," Master Xuankong continued, "Now let's assume, if Mo Tianxing appears in front of you at this time, how will Miss Su choose?"
"Do you still need to ask...... Su Jia's eyes suddenly showed murderous aura, and he clenched his fists and said, "Of course I killed him with my own hands to avenge my father!"
Master Xuankong saw Su Jia's sudden expression, as if he understood the answer, and nodded slightly......
Su Jia also seemed to realize it, after all, it was just a hypothesis just now, and her unintentional performance was a little too abrupt. But it's the rush, so it's real......
"Okay, the old body has already guessed that Miss Su will take the number of orders......" Master Xuankong pinched his fingers slightly, and said meaningfully.
"Yes...... What is it?" Hearing this, Su Jia withdrew her "killing intent" and asked nervously again.
"Do you really want to know?" Master Xuankong was still a little hesitant, as if his fate was a little unsmooth.
"Hmm......" Su Jia also nodded nervously.
Master Xuankong's expression was a little cautious, and then he said, "Okay then...... In the near future, Miss Su, you will definitely encounter the catastrophe of your life, and you will encounter unprecedented hardships and dangers......"
"Robber...... Calamity?" Su Jia said with surprise in her eyes when she heard this.
Master Xuankong nodded and continued: "But the old body can only tell fortunes, and as for the fate, it is still up to Miss Su yourself...... Although it is a catastrophe, it is not that there is no unsolved method, but in the experience, in a thought, there are two paths: good and evil...... One thought becomes right, one thought becomes a demon, and it all depends on you where your fate ends......"
"Doom of Fate...... ......"Su Jia seems to be a little afraid of her future fate, a fear that she has never had," to ...... What the hell is ......"
Master Xuankong knew that he was a little too "excited" to say this, so he turned to comfort him: "But Miss Su shouldn't think too much about it now, just like Tang Shaoxia, all the troubles and distractions come from the heart." As soon as the troubles are removed, the source of the heart can be seen clearly, and no matter when, Miss Su, you can't forget the original wish in your heart......"
"Can't forget...... I wish to ......," Su Jia muttered, as if she understood a little, and then comforted herself, "That's right, I can't forget myself...... I have experienced so many winds and waves along the way, what difficulties have I never encountered? Even if there is a catastrophe ahead that I have never seen before, I will do my best to overcome the ups and downs, this is the real me!"
Master Xuankong nodded slightly, but in his heart, he was still faintly worried about Su Jia's future fate......
After interpreting the fate, Su Jia said goodbye to Master Xuankong, walked out of the ancestral hall, and went to the door to reunite with Xiao Tian and the others......
"Jia'er, why are you so slow?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask when he saw that Su Jia had been waiting for a long time before coming out.
"Yes...... There are some things to ask a little more......" Su Jia said a little hesitantly, it seemed that Master Xuankong had just "relieved his life" of himself, and he still had a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"What's wrong with you, Jia'er?" Seeing Su Jia's unusually nervous appearance, Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing......" Su Jia immediately came back to her senses, not wanting Xiao Tian to see her nervousness, and tried to change the topic, seeing that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were not by Xiao Tian's side, so she asked instead, "Hey, what about Brother Tang and Sister Jing, aren't you together?"
Xiao Tian smiled and said: "I see that Jia'er is unhappy, and I want to take you to find other 'fun' while it's okay - so I said let Tang Zhan and Jingmei go back to Lu Mansion first, me and Jia'er You go somewhere else, anyway, the 'family sensationalism' over there in Lu Mansion, we don't need to make peace ......"
"Find ...... Looking for fun?" Su Jia listened to Xiao Tian's inexplicable words, which was very strange, and couldn't help asking, "Where else can you go to have fun in this chaos?"
"Don't forget, what I said before......" Xiao Tian said with a smile, "I said that the Bianliang War is over, Jia'er and I can take time to go to Meihua Villa to find Master Gao Yinggao, and the little young girl to catch up-"
"Huh?" Su Jia said in surprise when she heard this, "Are you really going......
"Otherwise?" Xiao Tian said longingly, "I haven't seen you for more than two years, I miss Master Gao a little, and Miss Xiaoqing, after all, when Jia'er was injured, she took care of us a lot...... I finally came back, and I have to go and say hello, otherwise I, as an apprentice, will be too unfilial—"
"Whatever you want, but with Master Gao's temper, I think her attitude towards you is still ...... like that" Su Jia had no intention of muttering, but thinking of the incident of Plum Blossom Villa more than two years ago, Su Jia was both happy and moved in her heart......
So, the two decided to go to the Plum Blossom Villa in Liang Weng Mountain outside the city, and Su Jia temporarily forgot the distress in her heart just now...... (To be continued.) )
