Yongtai Temple is located at the west foot of Taimur Mountain, sits in the east and faces west, facing Shaolin Temple, back to the majestic Wangdu Peak, north of the beautiful and colorful Zijin Peak, surrounded by mountains, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the forest is lush, the stream lingers back to the pagoda, the scenery is quiet, it is the first female monk temple built after the introduction of Zen Buddhism into the Central Plains, it is also the earliest nun Buddhist temple in the first age of the existing Chinese existence

Walking through a mountain road that was not too rugged, Zheng Lei came to Yongtai Temple, and his heart was full of doubts along the way, why Lin Xi came to this Yongtai Temple, how did a Taoist stay in this Buddhist land for six years, or in the past six years, Lin Xi was constantly looking for her master, the medical saint that everyone admired

However, these two speculations Zheng Lei is more focused on the latter, after all, when he lost all his cultivation, Lin Xi had already begun to wander around

Before the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Zheng Lei intercepted a kind old nun and asked, "Mrs. Shi, have you ever seen a girl named Lin Xi?"

The old nun said thoughtfully, "There used to be such a person who came here, but now it doesn't exist anymore."

"Then where did she go, Shi Tai knows," Zheng Lei asked

"The Poor Nun Doesn't Know"

"Thank you, Master, for disturbing your cultivation," Zheng Lei said with some disappointment

The old nun looked at Zheng Lei and said slowly: "Maybe there is someone who can solve the puzzle for the donor."

Zheng Lei hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"The meditation master may be able to solve the benefactor's doubts," said the old nun

Zheng Lei hurriedly saluted and said: "I am too grateful for the introduction of the teacher."

The old nun sighed slightly, and took Zheng Lei out of the area of the temple, until he came to the mountain col, where there was a small hermitage, which looked like an ordinary family

"The meditation master is inside, and the donor can go and ask," said the old nun

"Thank you, Mrs. Shi," Zheng Lei said

The old nun left, Zheng Lei walked to the hermitage, the door was not locked, just hidden, he stood outside the door and said: "Master Jingxin is in the Baiyun Temple, Zheng Lei prays to see him."

There was silence in the hermitage, and no one answered inside

Zheng Lei stood quietly in front of the door, not knowing whether to leave or push the door in, in someone else's place, if it was abrupt, it couldn't be said, in case there was no one inside, he rashly broke into the owner of the hermitage, and it was not easy to explain after he came back, after thinking about it, he decided to leave temporarily, and wait until this meditation master came back to visit

Having made up his mind, Zheng Lei turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a soft voice from the hermitage: "Since you're here, let's come in," the voice was very quiet, but the voice was slightly hoarse

Zheng Lei stood at the door and took care of it for a while, then pushed the door and entered the hermitage, there was no electric light, the light was dim, and he couldn't adapt to the darkness for a while, but he couldn't lose his courtesy, so he hugged his fists and said: "Meditation Master Tai Baiyun Guan Zheng Lei came to visit, hoping that Master Tai can solve a puzzle or two in the next."

"Sit down and wait for me to finish reciting this verse," the teacher said

Zheng Lei followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a figure kneeling on a futon, with his back to himself, his head lowered, there was no wooden fish, and there was no Buddha statue with a golden body, and the small hermitage seemed to be just an ordinary thatched house

Accustomed to the light, Zheng Lei saw a futon beside him, so he sat cross-legged on it and waited quietly

Meditation Master Tai knelt there in green clothes, not moving at all, like a statue, and he was embarrassed to disturb when he saw people chanting, so he had to close his eyes and vomit

After a long time, Zheng Lei heard Master Jing ask "What questions does the donor have?"

"I want to ask about a person's whereabouts, I don't know if Mrs. Shi ever knows," Zheng Lei said

"Who"

"A woman named Lin Xi"

The meditation master was silent and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"

"She ......" Zheng Lei was stunned for a moment and then said: "She is my cousin, my closest person"

"Well, she doesn't exist anymore," the meditation master said with a sigh

"Do you know where she went?" asked Zheng Lei

"If it doesn't exist, it's already in this world, and if there's no such person, how can the poor know where she's gone," said the meditation master

Zheng Lei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the master he met at the beginning said that Lin Xi did not exist, and now this meditation master also said that Lin Xi does not exist, could it be that Lin Xi encountered some calamity and did not survive

So he asked worriedly: "Dare to ask Mrs. Shi who she was poisoned by"

"Never"

Zheng Lei was confused, since he had never been poisoned by others, and it didn't exist, could it be that Lin Xi felt that life was boring and broke off by himself, according to Lin Xi's character, it would definitely not be like this, but he still asked: "Cousin, did she kill herself?"

"There is no such person in the world, so why bother to go to the trouble of seeking disciples," said Master Jingchen

Neuropathy Zheng Lei couldn't help but quickly make an evaluation of Jingxin Shitai in his heart, but he couldn't say what he said in his heart, but said: "Disturb Shitai Qingxiu, I will say goodbye."

The meditation master didn't answer, Zheng Lei was stunned for a moment, then withdrew from the hermitage on his own, and slowly walked towards the outside of the col with a full stomach, and after walking more than ten meters, Zheng Lei felt that something was not right, if this meditation master had never heard of Lin Xi's name at all, why would he say that she didn't exist, since it was said that it didn't exist, it was clearly that he had seen Lin Xi

Thinking of this, Zheng Lei hurriedly turned around and swooped back, and was about to knock on the door before returning to the hermitage, but he heard a very low voice in the middle of the hermitage, and said with a quiet voice: "Xiao Lei, forgive my cousin, cousin and you are not all the way after all, you have already become a family, cousin doesn't want to leave a bad fate in your life, and I don't want to fall you into an unrighteous situation because of me......"

With a "snap", Zheng Lei pushed open the door, and "Master Jingjing" was startled suddenly, and quickly stood up and looked at the door

At the same time, Zheng Lei and the other party were all stunned

Where is this, what is the "meditation master", it is clear that Lin Xi is just dressed in green clothes and no makeup, Lin Xi looks a lot thinner, and there are two tear stains on a face that cannot be faulted, and two crystal teardrops condense to the tip of his chin and are crumbling

It turned out that after Zheng Lei broke through the fifth step, because the power of the mixed yuan operated on its own, it was difficult for ordinary people to detect his approach, and Lin Xi's cultivation was not too high, so he couldn't find it for a while, Zheng Lei only watched Zheng Lei leave, and the emotions he suppressed in his heart were out of control, and he couldn't help but say those words

Unexpectedly, when she said that, Zheng Lei had already turned back, and just heard her words, so he pushed open the door with great shock, and the two of them were shocked at the same time

"Cousin, why" Zheng Lei felt that his heart was slashed fiercely, and he couldn't stop bleeding

Lin Xi, who was dressed in Tsing Yi without makeup, looked at Zheng Lei with tears on his face and apologetically said for a long time: "'If life is only as it is when you first see something, the autumn wind is sad, the fan is idle, etc., but the old people's hearts are changeable, and the people are changeable, and the Lishan language is clear, half a tear, rain, and zero bells, and finally do not complain, how to be like Bo Xing, Jinyilang, and the wings and branches, and the wish of the day, 'Lin Xi is dead, don't be worried, please go back.'"

"No, in my heart, you will always be my cousin, you will always be the one who loves me the most, you don't die, you won't die," Zheng Lei said loudly

"Who has not died since ancient times, Lin Xi is just a mere mortal, how can the donor not die, don't make noise here, Lin Xi can leave a good memory in the donor's heart, presumably she has been satisfied, the donor's confusion has been calm, and has already helped you answer, please go back," Lin Xi said

Zheng Lei looked at Lin Xi in a daze, not knowing why Lin Xi became like this, she is still the same Lin Xi who used to be greedy for money but very kind, is she still the lively and lovely medical saint, obviously the answer is no, Lin Xi no longer exists, and now standing in front of him is only the meditation master of Yongtai Temple

"If life is only as it is the first time you see it, it is only as ...... you first see it," Zheng Lei muttered distractedly, and suddenly he grabbed Lin Xi's hand and said, "Cousin, come home with me, and I will marry you."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, there was a flame of joy in her eyes, she jumped violently, and then extinguished it again, she broke away from Zheng Lei's hand and said: "Donor, please go back, here is the Buddha Gate, please respect yourself."

Zheng Lei was stunned and looked at Lin Xi and said slowly: "Cousin, are you really willing to leave me?"

Lin Xi said: "The world is impermanent, always like a mirror, please go back, Shui Rou's body, I will take good care of her soul, I will try my best to help you recover"

"Cousin, if you find the old man, will you go back?" Zheng Lei did not give up

"Master, I haven't seen her for a long time, if I see her, I will ask her for guilt on my behalf," Lin Xi said faintly

Zheng Lei took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, you will always be my cousin no matter what."

Lin Xi stopped talking, slowly turned around, walked to the futon, slowly sat down, and closed his eyes

After a long time, Zheng Lei reluctantly turned around and exited the hermitage, gently covered the door, and left Yongtai Temple in despair

After Zheng Lei left, the clear light flashed in the hermitage, and an old man appeared, who was not a monk or a monk, he looked at Lin Xi and said, "The dust is over, do you still have any worries?"

Lin Xi slowly shook his head and didn't look at the old man

"Well, then, I will pass on your ......"

Zheng Lei, who was distracted, didn't notice that a couplet slowly appeared on both sides of the door frame of the hermitage: Once you become a positive fruit, you are a Buddha and an immortal

Walking on the mountain road, the gentle mountain breeze blowing in his face stirred Zheng Lei's endless thoughts for a long time, he seemed to have figured out that there were some things that he couldn't get even if he worked hard, not to mention people, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart what his feelings for Lin Xi were, just cousin or uncle, or he had already regarded Lin Xi as his own family, he couldn't find the answer, maybe there are too many things in this world that can't be controlled by manpower, since it is difficult, why should he be persistent
