Chapter 63: Untying the Knot
Bai Suzhen stepped into the hall and said, "Master Jueyuan!" but his brows were furrowed.
After listening to Bai Suzhen's narration, Jueyuan was puzzled: "You said that Ao Qianlong King did not agree to fight a decisive battle with my master?"
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "Yes, he still has to take care of Boiling Li, that, I want to see Xu Xian." ”
Jueyuan frowned and said, "But my master seems to have determined that the Ao Qian Dragon King will come, and I promise you to go to see Xu Xian, but you can't leave Hanshan Temple." ”
Bai Suzhen was surprised, could it be that Ao Qian had changed his mind, but in this case, what should he do with the glass?
In the quiet room, only Xu Xian and Xiaoqing remained.
Xiaoqing picked up the rice and peeked at Xu Xian, but saw that he was just frowning, and the dishes and dishes were placed on the table, but he didn't move. Thinking that he hadn't eaten a drop of water for a day, he couldn't help but soften his voice and persuade: "You better eat something!"
Xu Xian was surprised, he didn't expect Xiaoqing to be so gentle, but he shook his head and said, "I can't eat it!"
Another day passed, and his mood sank to the bottom with the sun. Is that still the case? or inaction. In this case, what is the difference between it and the original Xu Xian?
Clenched his fists, is it because my strength is not enough? But his cultivation speed is already incredible, how can he get enough to compete with the power of the Fa source in a short period of time. So what went wrong? Is it still due to an illusory fate?
Seeing that his brows were furrowed, Xiaoqing felt a little unbearable, so she took the food and sent it to his mouth and said, "Come, eat some!" But there was still no response.
Xiaoqing put down her chopsticks and said angrily: "Xu Xian, you are still not a man. There's no way, just think of a way, what's the point with a sad face, what qualifications do you have to let my sister marry you now, and you said that you want to beat my idea, I'm bah!"
Xu Xian's face was full of gloom, and he wanted to say something, but he felt soft all around.
Xiaoqing hugged him violently, leaned Hazel Head on his shoulder socket, and said softly: "Don't be like this, okay? I don't blame you, I just feel so uncomfortable when I look at your deflated appearance." My sister will definitely come back, and even if my sister is not there, I will always be here with you. ”
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her delicate body, sniffed her hair, stroked her long black hair, and sighed with a smile in his heart, what a heavy and happy burden this is! Yes, now is not the time to give up. There must be a solution to the problem, there must be.
The door creaked open, and a white figure stood at the door, looking at the scene.
Xiaoqing turned her head suddenly, saw Bai Suzhen, and pushed Xu Xian away suddenly, her face turned red, and explained: "Sister, that me, in fact, ......"
With a loud bang, Xu Xian's head slammed into the wall, and his spiritual power had not yet recovered, and he couldn't even use his golden body, so he made a close contact with the wall with his head.
Bai Suzhen hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "Hanwen, are you okay! She had been worried about Xu Xian's injuries. His bare hands gently helped him knead the sore spots.
Xu Xian just shook his head and said, "You're here." It seems that when I am a wife, the husband's casual greetings are plain and natural.
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "En." ”
This made Xiaoqing, who had been stammering and wanting to explain to Bai Suzhen, suddenly lowered her head, happy for them, but also a little stunned. Then he made a smile and said, "Sister, where is the Dragon King of Ao Qian?"
Then Bai Suzhen talked about all kinds of things to the Yangtze River, and Xiaoqing was dissatisfied: "What, we are obviously helping him." ”
Xu Xian said: "This can't be blamed on him. ”
At this time, a childish voice resounded throughout the Hanshan Temple, "Fayuan Great Monk, my grandfather said, I will come to Taihu Lake in three days to teach you, you wash your neck and wait for death! ”
"Okay! ”
"It's the sound of boiling glass!"
The three of them followed the sound and walked over, and saw that Yu Li was standing in front of Fayuan's door, and Jueyuan was standing aside with a bitter sigh on his face. When she saw Xu Xian and them, she ran over and said, "Are you all right?"
Xu Xian frowned and said, "Did you persuade your grandfather to come?" "As soon as Ao Qian comes, he will definitely die.
Boiling glass's expression darkened, and said, "I know, grandpa decided to come by himself." ”
Xu Xian's heart ached, hugged her in his arms, boiled his heart was sour, and his eyes fell, and said, "Xu Xian, my grandfather ......" but he couldn't speak. made Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing feel a burst of pity.
Xu Xian said to Jue Yuan, who was standing aside: "Jue Yuan, why don't you persuade your master." Jueyuan could only shake his head.
Jueyuan arranged a residence for several people, and it was already the middle of the night. Xu Xian lay on the bed tossing and turning, and from time to time he thought of his tearful eyes, no, he had to think of a way. Pushing the door out, the night rain is vast, the dark clouds are like ink, and the corridor is pitch black.
Xu Xian walked into the rain, walked in the courtyard, the pine and ancient cypress in the courtyard, I don't know how many years there are? Why do you have such a lifespan, and you still have to fight for the length of the past?
But seeing that Jueyuan was also wandering in the courtyard, he saw Xu Xian and beckoned: "Master Xu." ”
The two walked together and sighed separately. In this decisive battle, there will be no winner.
Jueyuan sighed: "After this battle, I don't know if my master's ambition can be realized?"
Xu Xian said: "Ambition? Does the monk Fayuan also have ambitions?" In his eyes, this is simply an unreasonable and trouble-seeking elm monk.
Jueyuan said: "That's nature, born in the world, that is, mortals, who doesn't have ambitions?"
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "Yes, there are few." ”
Jueyuan said: "It was forced to be helpless, consumed by the world, in the beginning, who had no dreams?
Xu Xian sighed: "Yes, in the world, who has no dreams?" Who is practicing for the sake of cultivation? This is the birth of this way of cultivation, perhaps from the very common idea of a mortal - to live longer. It's not something very deep, very vague.
I want to be happy, I want to write and paint my dreams...... The simplest, but no matter how profound the thoughts, they can't be separated from these most ordinary thoughts. The difference lies only in the method of realizing these thoughts, such as Taoist non-action, Confucian benevolence, and Buddhist compassion.
The path and thought that are detached from this thought, no matter how subtle, are just buildings in the air, things that are not worth scrutinizing. Keeping one thought to prove the world and one heart to seek the great path is the root that every practitioner can't get rid of, but sometimes they forget this root due to the disturbances of the outside world, or have doubts about it.
Xu Xian stopped and asked, "What is your master's thoughts?" Knowing this, he might be able to untie the current dead knot.
Jueyuan said: "My master often said that he should roam the four seas, see the size of the world, and want to make further realizations from it, so that the Tao can go further." ”
"Traveling around the world?" Xu Xian chewed, it was really a childish dream, and it didn't match Fayuan's blue face at all. But in all fairness, who hasn't thought so? Wait, maybe this is an opportunity. But he still asked, "Master Jueyuan, didn't you use this to convince your master to give up the duel?"
But Jueyuan sighed: "Of course there is, but my master said, 'Life is unsatisfactory for ten people, although we have the best strength in our bodies, we can't avoid vulgarity.'" What's more, beyond the four seas, who knows what kind of world it is? Maybe it's just a piece of sea, and it may not be worth my attention. ’”
Xu Xian said: "Did he doubt his original thoughts?"
Jueyuan stroked his chest and said, "Hey, once this heart moves, it will be even more difficult to survive the decisive battle." ”
Xu Xian suddenly said: "Master Jueyuan, I want to try again and convince your master to let him give up the duel." ”
Jue Yuan just wanted to say that it was useless, but he looked at Xu Xian's burning eyes and said, "How do you want to try?" ”
Xu Xian said: "Help me find a pen and paper first!" This is also the little thought in his heart, he doesn't want to let the people who love him and the people he loves cry, and he wants them to be happy. For the sake of this idea, whether it is successful or not, he must give it a try. Now that you have decided to carry this heavy and happy burden on your shoulders, let's do what a man should do!
Jueyuan found all the pen and ink, and in Xu Xian's room, looking at his calligraphy, painting and painting on the big paper, he could see that Xu Xian had not learned Danqing, and his pen was not in order. I can't help but wonder in my heart, can this really make the stubborn master give up the duel?
But when Xu Xian finished, he told Jueyuan, Jueyuan's eyes flashed, he reached out and grabbed Xu Xian's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Master Xu, you are really a talented genius, maybe you can persuade my master in this way." ”
Xu Xian said: "I hope it can be done!"
The next morning, the rain was still dripping, and in front of Fayuan's door, Jueyuan said, "Master, Master Xu wants to see you." ”
Fa Yuan was making the final preparations, frowning, and said, "I haven't seen anyone for the past three days. ”
Xu Xian said in a loud voice: "Abbot Fayuan, I want to use one thing in exchange for a promise for you." His voice shocked Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and they came here with boiling glass, not knowing what Xu Xian wanted to do.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Fa Yuan had no intention of responding.
Xu Xian said: "Twenty thousand miles to the north, there is a sea of extreme ice, the land is vast for thousands of miles, but there is not an inch of soil, called "the end of the north country", also known as the North Pole, the Arctic is extremely cold, dripping into ice, there is no trace of only more white bears and white foxes are born on it. In the "end of the northern country", half a year is said to be the night, and half a year is called the polar day and the polar night!"
Xu Xian exchanged glances with Jueyuan, and Jueyuan sighed: "I didn't expect that there is such a place in the north, the world is so big, it's really amazing!"
Fa Yuan's voice came from inside the house, "Ridiculous, there is not an inch of soil, where is the land thousands of miles? What do you say that half a year is a day and half a year is a night, and it is even more nonsense and nonsense. ”
Xu Xian laughed and said, "There is perennial frost and freezes into the earth. This really corresponds to that sentence, how can Xia Worm speak ice. You are shallow, confined to a corner, I pity you for not long before you come to enlightenment, and dare to say that I am making things up, it is really ridiculous and ridiculous. ”
