In the Jinglian Cave Mansion, a ray of moonlight shined through the cracks in the rocks and shone on the pond in front of Su Ji. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Huangmei Daoist looked at the light and said with a happy face: "Pavilion Master, the timing of your arrival is just right, and it is exactly the same." ”

"Timing?" Su Ji wondered.

Huangmei Daoist cleared a piece of turquoise duckweed from the pond, revealing a small piece of pond water the size of a wellhead. The moonlight from the cracks in the rocks shone just on the surface of the water.

"Pavilion Master, put your hand in the pool and try it......"

Su Ji hesitated for a moment, tentatively reached out his hand, and lightly tapped the water surface with his finger. At the moment when he touched the surface of the water, Su Ji saw the reflection reflected in the lotus pond, not his own face, but a familiar scene. Su Ji realized that those faded and yellowed pictures were all from his own memories, all from his own thoughts at the moment.

The pictures of the past are presented one by one in the water at this moment, with familiar faces, familiar places everywhere, and scenes of the past that cannot be returned.

Qingling Temple, Shenhou Mansion, Biyou Palace, Qilin Cliff, Qingling Sleep, Purgatory Gate......

Su Ji looked at the water motionlessly, as if he had experienced the joy, pain, sweetness, sorrow, and finally separation of that time. Seeing Jiang Ling's figure floating on the water, Su Ji muttered, "I only realized when I calmed down now that I had broken my senior sister's heart more than once. ”

Huangmei Daoren said lightly: "People have seven emotions and six desires, and it is common for conflicts to occur when getting along with each other. As long as we can still meet, there must be room for redemption. ”

"I don't know if I can meet them again, maybe I won't even say a word of goodbye, and I will never get along with each other from now on, even if I want to resolve the misunderstanding, I will never have a chance. ”

"The pavilion master doesn't need to be frustrated, instead of being at a loss, it is better to think of a way. Some things only need to be said in a few words, and things will take an unexpected turn. ”

Su Ji turned his head to look at Huangmei Daoren, "I knew you must have a way." ”

"But there's more to be done. Huangmei Daoist said, I don't know where to get a clay wine jar.

Su Ji sniffed with his nose, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "Immortal?"

Huangmei Daoist praised: "The pavilion master has good eyesight, and he can smell it as soon as he smells it." Since wine is good wine, and people are old people, why don't you come and have two glasses together?"

Su Ji remained silent, the light in his eyes dimmed, his eyes were still staring at the lotus pond, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Huangmei Daoist was puzzled: "Pavilion Master, such a good wine, what are you waiting for if you don't drink it now?"

Looking at the shadows that rose and fell with the ripples, Su Ji muttered, "I don't understand, I really don't understand." ”

The Huangmei Daoist frowned, and asked knowingly, "Pavilion Master, what's wrong with you today?"

"When I see these images, my heart is very confused now, I don't know what to say, anyway, there are so many things that I don't understand why. ”

"If you don't understand something, let's hear it. ”

At this time, all that appeared in the pool were sad scenes. The ripples on the surface of the water became disordered, just like the fragment in Su Ji's mind, suddenly became messy, and his emotions began to be a little excited.

Su Ji suppressed his ups and downs and said, "Why don't my relatives die well? Why do the women around me have nothing to do with me? Why do my friends leave me one by one? Why does Niu Zhu always do good deeds, but often backfires; Qingli always does evil, but often gets his wish? Why?"

Huangmei Dao was indifferent, and said indifferently: "If you don't know why, don't think about it, let's have two drinks with Poor Dao first." ”

Su Ji took his hand out of the water and sighed, "I don't want to drink anymore, I don't want to drink anymore." ”

Huangmei Daoren's eyes widened, secretly thinking that the temptation of this jar of wine to drunkards is definitely no less than the temptation of beautiful women to perverts, and he couldn't imagine that this drunkard in front of him who was addicted to alcohol would say these words now.

"Lord, do you mean to quit drinking? Poor Dao quit many times to no avail, and in the end I couldn't help but be greedy for a cup. ”

Su Ji said gloomily: "Quitting drinking is not as difficult as you said, the difficult thing is that there are some things and some people, no matter how drunk I am, no matter how many glasses I drink, no matter how many years I have been drunk, I still can't quit and forget ......"

Huangmei Daoist waved his hand and said in disappointment: "If you don't drink, you're welcome." ”

After that, he drank it down, and drank half of the jar in the blink of an eye.

It's not that Su Ji doesn't want to drink, he just thinks that everyone in the world is bitter and all living beings are bitter. All the hardships in life are unspeakable. In the face of those tragedies that have happened and those that will happen, he still can't drink without distraction like Huangmei Daoist after all.

Under the moonlight, several green tendons on the forehead of the Huangmei Daoist were convex, and the cheeks covered with bloody tendons were as red and purple as grape leaves, and they were still changing color.

Su Ji knew that he was about to get drunk.

After the Huangmei Daoist finished drinking, he asked without warning: "Pavilion Master, have you ever heard of 'Heavenly Dao Bear'?"

Su Ji thought for a while and said, "I have heard it, but I have never thought carefully about the meaning of these four words." ”

Huang Mei said: "All the questions of the pavilion master just now can be explained by the word 'bearing'. The inheritor is the first, and the loser is the last. If the predecessors do good, the present will be blessed, and if the present people do evil, the younger generations will be woeful. ”

Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, feeling that Huangmei Daoren's words were a little strange, which made people not understand them, and even made people feel that these words should not come out of his mouth, as if he was relaying them to himself for others.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Su Ji.

Huang Mei explained: "To put it simply, a person's fate is to bear the consequences for their ancestors. Take the Jiang family of Shen Guo as an example. Jiang Xuan creates evil, Jiang Ying will get trouble, Jiang Ying will make evil, Jiang Ling will get evil. On the contrary, if the ancestors do good, they will be blessed themselves, just as the ancestors accumulate wealth and the descendants will enjoy it, and the ancestors will pay back the debts of the ancestors. As the saying goes, "If you accumulate goodness, you will have afterglow, and if you accumulate bad things, there will be aftermath."

Su Ji shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "What bad things did my father Bojifu do? Why did my mother die tragically? Why did I have to endure all those sufferings?"

Huangmei Daoren said: "What Taishi Jifu has done, for the people of the Zhou family, it is naturally a great good thing. However, for those dogs and Li people, I am afraid that it is the opposite, right? They also have relatives, and they also have children. The places where the iron hooves of the Zhou Chamber stepped on were all a piece of flesh and blood, and the 'burden' left behind afterwards had to be borne by the living of the Xi clan. ”

Su Ji's eyes opened slightly, as if he suddenly understood something. He picked up the Hongjun bell on his waist and thought of the descendants of Li Jing, the king of Tota. The Li family has been fighting for generations, and the killing is too heavy, so Li Hongxi and Li Hongjun brothers will "not grow an inch of grass" on their heads.

Thinking of this, Su Jimao suddenly opened his mind, recalling the seven unheard of schools of thought that he had seen in the Jade of Creation, and felt that the way of "Western teaching" to practice by crossing others is very close to the idea of "Buddha", while the way of "expounding teaching" is close to the idea of "Taoism" by restricting oneself to practice.

Su Ji believes that compared with the "cause and effect" of Western teaching, the "burden" of expounding is better, more humane, and gives people a sense of mission. Many of the cold misdeeds he has encountered are because people who feel "karma" are "sweeping the snow in front of their own doors", and the concept of "Heavenly Way Bears" makes Su Ji feel that the consequences of doing evil are not only for himself, but for future generations.

Looking at Li Hongjun, who had turned into a bronze bell, Su Ji had doubts again, could it be that Li Hongjun, a coward, would have to bear the debts of his father for the rest of his life and live as an object?

Su Ji looked at Huangmei Daoren and asked, "Do you want to say that the father and son repay the debt?" But when will these debts of my father's generation be repaid? When will I change my current dissatisfaction?"

"It's hard to change. Huangmei Daoren looked melancholy, shook his head and said: "Maybe you have done all the good things in your life, and you will not taste the slightest sweetness." Anyway, I can't do this kind of fruitless thing, and many monks with advanced Taoism can't do it either. ”

Su Ji said: "I can't just think about myself, there are people who are more important than myself." I want to do something for them, to do something that no one before me was willing to do, or even couldn't do. I may feel powerless in what I'm doing, but that's just because I can't see the results. I believe that one day it will be changed, there will always be a better day, even if I can't live forever, even if I can't see the results in this life, I want to use something to prove that I once existed. ”

Huangmei Daoist sighed inexplicably and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and the pavilion master is really very different from before. It seems that the poor road is losing today. ”

"Lost?" Su Ji wondered.

"I'm not losing to you, I'm losing to my master. ”

"Chief Chai Dao?"

"I made a bet with Master that you would drink this jar of wine. I lost, and I lost convincingly. ”

After saying that, the Huangmei Daoist sighed, and suddenly drank the remaining half of the jar of wine.

Su Ji hurriedly asked: "Hey, you've been talking for a long time, and you haven't told me how to find the senior sister and the second senior brother!"

Huangmei Daoist was suddenly stunned for a moment, and just wanted to speak, but found that his two hands could no longer be raised, and his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.

"Poof!"

Huangmei Daoist fell headlong, and the whole person lay on the ground.

Su Ji's face turned pale suddenly, and he saw that his eyes were tightly closed, and he was already unconscious. He knew that anyone who drank an altar of immortal pouring would be drunk for a long time, and he was glad that he had resisted the temptation just now and did not drink the jar of wine.

But now he had no idea what to do next......
