Chapter 451: On the Broken Bridge
"When a man dies like a lamp goes out, how can these mortal people like to grieve for the dead?
Under the broken bridge, in the painting boat, Bai Suzhen looked puzzled, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the broken bridge, and felt the grief of the living for the dead in the air, but she frowned slightly and muttered softly.
"The mortal world is naturally different from ours. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoqing on the side smiled slightly, and a little helplessness flashed in his eyes. The little girl is simple-minded, and has been living in the dragon pool on the Lingshan since she was a child.
As the daughter of the Dragon King of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, she is also the princess of the Eight Maharajas. Therefore, the little girl can be described as a golden branch and jade leaf, born with a golden spoon.
Since the Lingshan Elysium is known as Bliss, implying the meaning of eternity, how can the little girl know what life and death are when she cultivates on the Lingshan Mountain?
Even if the Tao is profound, how can one understand the remembrance of the deceased ancestors in the nether world? Sighing softly, Xiao Qing said: "The years of our monks are often thousands of years, and the life of a mortal is only a few decades from birth to death, and even if there are occasional long-lived people, they are only more than a hundred years old. ”
"For the monks like us, that time is just a nap or a retreat. Therefore, the life of a mortal is too short, and it is as short as the fireworks that bloom in the night sky of the Shangyuan Festival. ”
"But although it is short, the joys and sorrows, loves, hatreds, and hatreds that mortals have experienced in their lives are much more and more wonderful than those that we monks have experienced over thousands of years. ”
"Really?"
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Bai Suzhen looked suspicious, turned her head to look at Xiaoqing nearby, and said softly: "My sister's appearance is like a mortal on the broken bridge." It seems that I am mourning the deceased in my heart?"
"But sister, the so-called cultivator, shouldn't be desireless and stick to his heart. Aren't we moved by external objects? We still have to cultivate for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, and if we can't persevere for such a long time, and we are distracted by external things, won't we make a mistake about ourselves?"
"Little girl!"
Laughing softly, Xiao Qing shook his head and sighed: "The Tao is natural, and people like us who have cultivated the Tao have practiced for thousands of years at every turn, and how can we always work behind closed doors." If you practice on your own, you will be able to make progress?"
"Cultivation depends on oneself, and we should learn more from the path of our predecessors. Under the way of heaven, the existence of all things is reasonable, and every grass and tree contains the avenue of heaven and earth, pointing directly to the heart. If you are lucky enough to have one of them, you will be able to attain enlightenment and transcendence. ”
"How can it be said that there is no Tao in the mortal world?"
Xiaoqing said, but glanced at Bai Suzhen lightly, and then sighed softly: "I once heard that in the Elysium of the Buddha Gate Spirit Mountain, there are three thousand 'Great Thousand Worlds', which are the places where the people of the Buddha Gate have gone through calamities. Cultivators can devote themselves to the three thousand worlds, go through reincarnation, and experience the separation of life and death. Experience your heart. It can be seen that the experience in the red dust is of great benefit to the cultivators, so how can it be said that it is a distraction?"
"If you don't travel through the world, experience all things in the world, and see through all the things in the world, wouldn't it be a lie for Buddhism to cross the sea of suffering and go straight to the other side of bliss?"
"But ......"
seemed to be slightly unconvinced, but Bai Suzhen opened her mouth. I wanted to speak again, but I felt as if I couldn't find an excuse to refute it. As a dragon maiden, she is a profound Dharma, although she is in this lifeless world. The true spirit is obscured by the way of the lifeless heaven, but how can you not understand it?
It's just because I always feel that my "sister" is too "glorious" on weekdays, and I can't breathe, so I opened my mouth to refute, but at this time, I muttered softly: "That's the only person who has a weak Dao heart who needs to enter the three thousand worlds to experience, and I've never been there." ”
"Giggles!"
Hearing this, Xiaoqing was happy, looking at the little girl's coquettish appearance, but she felt quite interesting.
"Sister!"
Seeing the teasing look in Xiaoqing's eyes, Bai Suzhen suddenly felt ashamed, and fell into Xiaoqing's arms without reluctance, but she was coquettish.
For a while, there was a lot of spring in the painting boat, and it seemed that the smoke and rain outside the boat could not affect the mood of the people in the boat at all.
However, the five ghosts who were waiting cautiously on the side did not dare to come out when they saw this scene, and the corners of their mouths twitched but did not dare to laugh. After all, the two beautiful goblins in front of them are two veritable evil stars, and it is absolutely unambiguous to kill people, oh not to kill ghosts.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, Xiaoqing raised his head and looked out the window, but he happened to see two figures on the broken bridge, and one of them actually looked at him.
There seemed to be friendship in his eyes, and there was a look of helplessness, which made Xiaoqing slightly stunned, and then chuckled. That person is naturally Zhang Yutang and Shi Shi, who traveled after the Qingming Festival to worship their ancestors.
"What's wrong?
Slightly puzzled, Bai Suzhen also looked up at the window, but there was a little understanding on her face, and she said softly: "This stunned boy is here again, isn't it really my sister who is a piece of fat?"
"You little prodigal!"
Hearing this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but be angry, scolded with a smile, and said with a smile while reaching out to tear Bai Suzhen's mouth: "Obviously, I want to marry myself, but I always want to make fun of my sister me." ”
"Ouch, sister spare my life!"
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen hurriedly got up and fled, and quickly headed out of the cabin......
"Zhang Gongzi!"
On the shore of the West Lake, Xiaoqing stood on the bow of the boat, smiled at the young man who was already crazy, and said softly: "Today is the Qingming Festival, but Zhang Gongzi has just come back from worshipping his ancestors?"
"My senior brother accompanied Zhang Yuanwai and Mrs. Zhang to Jinshan Temple to make a vow, because the two elders were going to hold a water and land puja in Jinshan Temple, but the senior brother came back first, and happened to meet the young girl and the white girl. ”
The stone on the side is dressed in a monk's robe, with beautiful eyebrows, but his appearance is quite handsome, and he is proficient in Buddhism, and there is an inexplicable atmosphere of dust, which makes people feel good.
"My sister is talking to your senior brother, what's the matter with your broken stone?"
Bai Suzhen on the side heard this, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked at the stone nearby, with a look of annoyance.
"Amitabha!"
Hearing Bai Suzhen's words, the stone clasped his hands together, and then sighed softly, and glanced at the little girl next to him lightly, revealing a little helplessness. He said: "What the white girl taught is that it is a lot of stones. ”
"Humph!"
Seeing that the stone was soft, she seemed to feel a little bored, but Bai Suzhen muttered softly: "It was." You are a fake monk, pretending to be a monk and pretending to be addicted. ”
"Su Zhen!"
Hearing this, Xiaoqing frowned slightly, and then turned her head to the stone on the side and bowed slightly: "Don't worry about the little master stone, Suzhen has a straight temper." ”
"Nan no Amitabha!"
When the stone heard this, he shook his head, then bowed slightly to Xiaoqing, turned his head to look at Bai Suzhen who was nearby, and a little complicated color flashed in his eyes, as if he had something to say and stopped.
"Young girl!"
Zhang Yutang saw this. But he finally spoke, looked at the two people on the bow of the boat with a smile on his face, and laughed softly: "I haven't seen the two of you for some days, but I miss them a lot, I wonder how the two girls are lately?"
"Hey!"
He sighed softly. Qing'er nodded slightly, and smiled at Zhang Yutang: "Thanks to Gongzi Zhang's concern, Qing'er and Suzhen are all right, but Gongzi came back from Jinshan Temple today, have you seen Elder Tianchi?"
"Naturally!"
A little disappointment flashed in his eyes, but Zhang Yutang laughed softly: "This time, the old man personally presided over the water and land festival, and it is said that famous people in this martial arts area and even the imperial court will send people to take a look." ”
"Oh?"
Smell that. Xiao Qing's eyes showed a little curiosity, with the identity of the leading saint, how could he easily preside over the puja?
"Hey!"
didn't seem to see the thoughts in Xiaoqing's eyes. Zhang Yutang sighed slightly, turned his gaze to the lake not far away, and was slightly fascinated by the vast lake, and was a little stunned, and said, "This time." Perhaps it was the last time the Master would have presided over the puja for someone. ”
"Why is that?"
The different color in his eyes became thicker, but Xiaoqing asked.
"Because the master has long foreseen his limit, he is about to take refuge in my Buddha. ”
There was a flash of reluctance in his eyes, but Zhang Yutang didn't know that the master he had always valued and loved like his father had always regarded himself as a dispensable chess piece. All sentient beings are just a speck of dust in the desolation, how can they enter the eyes of the heavenly sage who is high above?
"The master is about to pass away?"
A little light flashed in her eyes, but Xiaoqing looked up at the sky, as if through the thick mist, she saw countless clouds and clouds surging. Guiding the saint to be a heavenly saint, and even more ruling the lifeless realm, how can he pass away?
The reason why he passed away was just a prevarication, so that he could break away from the identity of Elder Tianchi. It seems that now that the sage has been guided to comprehend and refine the lifeless heavenly dao, it has reached a critical time, so that he has no intention of caring about it, so he will claim that he is about to die.
And his disciples, such as this Zhang Yutang and Shishi, do not know their true identities.
In the middle of the words, the four of them had already walked on the broken bridge again, looking at the pedestrians on the bridge and the increasingly hazy West Lake.
"Huh?"
At this time, Xiaoqing suddenly felt something, turned his head to look at the lake embankment on the side, but saw a scholar in Tsing Yi, holding a slightly tattered paper umbrella in his hand, walking hurriedly in the drizzle, but his face looked slightly urgent.
"Su Zhen!"
His mind moved slightly, but Xiaoqing called towards Bai Suzhen beside him.
"Huh!"
She already felt abnormal, but Bai Suzhen followed her sister's gaze and looked up, just in time to see a slightly embarrassed figure, her eyes flashing.
It was clearly the person he had seen in his dream for many days, and even the breath was exactly the same, and his heart was slightly sour, but why did he feel that something was wrong......

The first watch, ask for a ticket!
