Chapter Eighty-Seven: Counting Beads and Breaking Snow Like Su
Xu Beiyou held the sword box and guarded the door of the main hall, with his back to the hall.
In the hall, Xiao Zhinan knelt on the ground, her face was full of tears, Queen Xu leaned on her body, Xiao Bai knelt on one knee, inserted the broken array into the ground next to her, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were red.
Empress Xu slowly opened her eyes, seemed to know her situation, smiled bitterly, and began to explain the aftermath, "Taibai, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to survive this time, fortunately, you have already sealed the prince, and my mother has nothing to worry about, but you have to remember that since you have sat in the position of the prince, you must understand your position, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, when it comes to military affairs, your mother can't compare to the queen mother, your mother only knows one truth, your father is not a ruthless person, as long as you keep to yourself, this big Qi world will be yours sooner or later." ”
"It is said that sometimes there must be in life, there is no force in life, when I married your father, the queen mother said that my life is thin and blessed, and I can't afford the position of the mother of a country, I didn't believe it at the time, and the first emperor didn't believe it, and insisted on letting your father marry me, as a result, the first emperor who didn't believe in life has gone, and now I want to go, and I actually let the queen mother speak a language. ”
"It's just that my mother is still a little unwilling, and I can't wait for the day when my children and grandchildren are full, and I can't see everything in the future. ”
Although Empress Xu's speech was not fast, she was surprisingly fluent.
Xiao Bai clenched his fist to cover his lips, and tears flowed silently.
Queen Xu looked at her daughter and said softly for the first time: "I am your mother, you are my daughter, over the years, it is not right for me to be a mother, because of the old things, I snubbed you too much, I hope you don't hold a grudge against your mother." ”
Xiao Zhinan almost couldn't suppress his choked voice, just shook his head desperately.
Anyway, the two of them are mother and daughter, and the blood in their bones cannot be erased, when he felt that the last vitality of his mother in his arms was gradually disappearing, Xiao Zhinan still felt a heartfelt sadness.
Queen Xu's voice gradually weakened, "Zhinan, my mother is a cautious woman, and she is also a cowardly woman, after the temple upheaval in the first year of Chengping, I don't dare to hate the Queen Mother, I only dare to make a face to you, now that Mother is going, there is nothing to be afraid of, Mother has been careful for a lifetime, and she has been aggrieved for a lifetime, so Zhinan, you don't want to learn from me, you have to learn from the Queen Mother, and your daughter should be self-reliant." ”
"Taibai, tell your father, my mother will go first, and you will have to take care of your sister in the future, don't let her be wronged. ”
"If you can survive the catastrophe safely this time, in the future, you two brothers and sisters will enter the palace to see your father, after all, he is almost a person of the age of Huajia, they all say that the emperor is a lonely person, and he is a lonely person among the lonely people, after I leave, only he and your brothers and sisters will be left in our family, Taibai, you are the eldest son, and you are also the only son, you have to carry this burden. ”
Xiao Bai nodded heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "My son has written it down." ”
The voice was very soft, for fear that a little louder would scare the woman in front of me.
Queen Xu used her last strength to fold her hands on her lower abdomen, and at the last moment of her life, she still maintained the demeanor of a queen mother.
She seemed to be extremely tired, and did not say anything more, but slowly closed her eyes and said no more.
Xiao Zhinan covered his face with his hands and finally cried.
A hideous look appeared on Xiao Bai's handsome face, holding the hilt of the sword that had broken into the array, piercing his nails into the flesh, and saying word by word: "If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man." ”
Xu Beiyou, who was standing at the gate of the hall, raised his head and looked at the gray sky.
The snow was all over the ground, like a vegetarian.
......
No matter how earth-shattering the battle between the six earth immortals was, it never affected the Yuanqiu altar, and this three-story altar still stands.
On the altar of the mound, Lan Yu and Wei Ban, two old ministers, are separated from each other.
His Majesty the Emperor, standing in the center, is gently flicking a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.
He doesn't believe in Buddhism, or even believes, and the reason why he wears a string of Buddhist beads is because before he ascended the altar, the queen took off the beads that he had worn on his wrist for many years, and forced him to wear them on his wrist, saying that it could protect peace.
He couldn't resist his wife, so he had to put it on.
This is a string of Bodhi beads, because it has been carried all year round, it has a milky white color.
According to Buddhism, those who count the beads with iron and pinch them once get five times the merit, those who count the beads with red copper and pinch them ten times the merit, those who count the pearls with pearls and corals and so on, get the merit a hundred times by pinching and reciting them, and those who think that the wooden mallet is the number of beads, they will get a thousand times the blessing by pinching the beads, they will be blessed by the lotus seeds and the beads will be ten thousand times blessed, they will be ten million times the merit with the dhara fork, they will be ten million times the merit by the number of beads by the Kaiulu Tuoluo fork, and they will be blessed by the crystal ten thousand times.

In Xiao Xuan's view, this is nonsense.
For ordinary people, luck, merit, and merit seem to be ethereal things, but for people of their level, they are things that can be seen, felt, and even held in their hands.
The so-called merit is descended from heaven, if you hold the Bodhi Zi and recite the sutra to obtain immeasurable merit, then isn't everyone has merit, where can there be so many tragic things in the world where wives are separated and families are broken.
Buddhism's wanton promise is the same as the indiscriminate issuance of official positions in the imperial court, everyone has an official skin, and the official is worthless, if you hold the Bodhi Zi and recite the mantra, you can get immeasurable merits, then what do you need to do good, and what else does the Taoist sect do to help the Tao.
This move is already close to the evil way.
So Xiao Xuan never believed in Buddhism.
It's just that after all, it's his wife's heart, and it's hard for him to refuse.
Suddenly, a purple and blue rainbow soared into the sky, and then shook violently.
The beads on His Majesty's wrist were suddenly broken, and all the Bodhi beads were scattered all over the place, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.
The things that are always accompanied by the body can often communicate with the owner's mind, and it is a bad omen for a few beads to be sprinkled on the ground at this time.
Xiao Xuan slowly looked down, unable to maintain a calm expression anymore, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to say.
Just now, the heartstring between the two of them that has been connected for decades was also broken like a few beads all over the ground.
Xiao Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiaoweiyang Palace, and many things of the past suddenly passed in front of him.
When I was a teenager, I was newly married, and the moment I lifted my hijab, the candlelight reflected the woman's shy face, and my heart was pounding.
When his father died early when he was young, the husband and wife supported each other and loved each other.
Middle-aged and high-spirited, subconsciously ignored her, between husband and wife, except for a pair of children, there is rarely anything to say, she is full of grievances but never shows it, every time I see her, it is a gentle and smiling face, without half a word of complaint.
Later, the children were both adults, and the relationship between husband and wife was completely plain as water, and there was no half of the waves.
Before ascending the mound altar to worship the sky, the two of them came together in the emperor Luan, when she got off the car, she deliberately took off the string of beads from her wrist, and then put it on his wrist, at that time he was still a little impatient in his heart, but he couldn't bear to brush her kindness, which Cheng thought that this was the last farewell.
Xiao Xuan looked down at the counting beads rolling all over the ground again, raised his hand to stop Wei Ban and Lan Yu's words that they wanted to say, leaned over, and personally picked up these counting beads one by one.
