The painter lowered his head, apparently not noticing Shiraishi and the dragon Yinyue. After taking a deep breath at this moment, he looked up, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw Long Yinyue, was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's you." ”

Long Yinyue smiled and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence. But you really have a big face enough to make the boatman wait for so long. ”

The painter smiled stiffly and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." However, I had just sold a painting from Zuihou and had just raised enough money to travel to the next day, so I was a little late. By the way, what about your friend?"

Obviously, this person was referring to Shiraishi.

Long Yinyue was frozen for a moment, and was hesitating, when she suddenly saw Bai Shi and said, "Hehe, why are you wearing a mask today." ”

Shiraishi didn't expect that even if he was wearing a mask, this person would be able to recognize him, so he wondered: "Your vision is good, even if I wear a mask, you can recognize me." ”

The painter smiled, showing smugness, and said: "People like us, if you want to paint each other vividly, then you must first learn to catch the other person's expression, even if you can't see your face, but I can let you look at you." ”

Hearing the words of the painter, Shiraishi couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and before he could speak, he heard the painter continue: "Since we can still meet here, it proves that we are destined." My name is Traceless, boring Traceless, Traces of Trace......"

Bai Shi heard his name, thinking that this name seemed to have a certain meaning, but since the other party had already taken the initiative to report his name, and he was not a treacherous person, he said: "My name is Bai Shi, this is Brother Long, Long Yinyue." ”

Hearing this, Traceless's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed shock. He said, "You are Shiraishi, who appeared in the stone house a few days ago and defeated the monk of the Void Period with one move?"

Obviously, what happened in the stone house that day also reached Shiraishi's ears.

Shiraishi smiled stiffly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, but it's really down." ”

"Look up for a long time, the master is here, if there is any offense below, please Haihan. Flattery suddenly appeared in Traceless' eyes.

Bai Shi smiled lightly and said, "They are all ordinary people. Everyone is equal, and there is no need to be so formal. I admire my brother very much, just by selling paintings, I can earn enough money to go to the next day. I'm afraid that in that Qiushui Town, no brother has been stationed for a while. ”

Traceless smiled indifferently and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I've been stationed in Qiushui Town for more than ten years before I can raise enough money to go to the next day, right." I guess you've got enough money for the next day. ”

Hearing this, Bai Shi smiled and said, "First, we don't do stealing. Second, we don't have any superhuman skills. So on the second day of this trip, you must be tested by them to see if you can get the token. Give it a try. ”

"Brother Bai is so young, he can have such a cultivation and such a heart. Presumably, the heavens must have eyes, and they will definitely allow you to get the token and go to the next day, Brother Bai. ”

The old man picked up the oars and began rowing, interjecting at the moment.

Shiraishi smiled and said, "I hope to borrow your boatman's auspicious words, I hope that this journey will be safe and sound." ”

……

……

Time, in their negotiation, gradually passed a few hours, and it was already late at night. Long Yinyue leaned against the boat, his eyes closed, and his expression was extremely peaceful, but Shiraishi didn't know if he had fallen asleep.

And the traceless snoring has been flooded, like thunder. Let Baishi want to fall asleep several times, but after all, he couldn't close his eyes.

On the river in the middle of the night, there has begun to be a faint white fog, and a chill has followed, in the quiet, in addition to the traceless snoring, you can only hear the murmuring of the river, this sound wave after wave, in this quiet night, not only does not seem noisy, but is very rhythmic, as if forming a lullaby.

The boat was not as shaky as Shiraishi had imagined, but extremely stable. Under the control of the boatman, he slowly moved forward.

Shiraishi cautiously walked to the bow of the boat, for fear of waking them up, and then sat down slowly, facing the evening breeze, looking at the gradually blurred surface of the river, and thoughts flooded in his mind.

"Why, I can't sleep. The boatman whispered while rowing the boat, smiling.

Shiraishi nodded and said, "I don't know, when I am about to arrive on the second day, I can't sleep." ”

The boatman said: "You have something on your mind, so naturally you can't sleep." The old man has not closed his eyes for three years. ”

Shiraishi said: "According to the meaning of the boat family, you can sleep if you have nothing to do in your heart?"

The boatman shook his head and said, "If you have nothing to do in your heart, you won't sleep." Buddhism has clouds, and the four are empty. Sleeping is an ethereal state, and since the thoughts in your mind are empty, you naturally won't fall asleep. ”

Bai Shi heard it in a fog and said, "Then how can I go to sleep?"

The boatman did not stop his shaking oars, looked into the distance, as if sighing, and said, "This, the old man has not been able to penetrate it in his life. But before the old man, you can sleep if you want to, as for why, it depends on you to understand. ”

The boatman's gaze did not stay on Baishi's body, but as his words fell, this Ye Xiaozhou's speed suddenly accelerated, like gliding, which made Baishi's expression change, and when his eyes were locked on the boatman's body again, he suddenly felt that this back seemed to have been seen there. But for a moment, I couldn't think of anything.

Shiraishi didn't know what the boatman said, he didn't know what the boatman understood, but it wasn't the word sleep. Maybe it's a kind of emptiness, a kind of pan-emptiness of thoughts. So he wondered: "What did the boatman realize?"

The boat was still gliding on the river, and the boatman said: "There are many things that need to be realized in life, just like a sword cultivator, what you need to understand is not only excellent swordsmanship, but also some magical skills." Just as my ship carries people, only people who are destined, anyone who sets foot on my small boat is considered a person of fate, but not everyone can set foot on my ship.

Last time, I picked up your friend, Long Yinyue. But he didn't succeed in stepping into the second day, so this time he appeared, you are fate, this is destined. The reason why he didn't step into the second day was not because his cultivation was not enough, but because what he realized was not enough. He hadn't seen this shijie clearly, and he didn't know that those people had survived because of weishenme. ”

Bai Shi frowned, and was about to speak, when he heard the boat family continue: "The four major Buddhist families are all empty, and they are also constantly realizing, and what he has realized is an ethereal state. There seems to be nothing that a Buddha wants to do. But the only thing he doesn't know is why he became the Big Four......

And what I realized was what I gained and what I lost in this life, and I wondered what I was waiting for. Because of enlightenment, I can't do the four things are empty, so I have a wandering mind, so I haven't slept for three years, so I can't become a Buddha. ”

Bai Shi smiled bitterly and said: "The four are empty, cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and be a person without the slightest emotion." Living is like walking with a corpse, in that case, I would rather not become a Buddha. ”

The boatman subconsciously stopped the oars shaking in his hand, but the boat still glided forward, this was not because of inertia, but a kind of cultivation breath to push the boat forward, and it was the boatman who sent out the power of cultivation.

Seeing this scene, Bai Shi's body was subconsciously stunned, he didn't expect that the boatman's cultivation power would be so strong, because on this river where the cultivation power could not be used, the boatman could actually send out the cultivation power. While this aura of cultivation gathered on Bai Shi's body, it had already made his heart tremble a little, and even in this tremor, there were signs of shattering.

"What you see, it's probably not true. But what you see, it's basically true. Tell me, what do you see now?"

Seeing the shock in Shiraishi's eyes, the boatman said.

Shiraishi still had shock in his eyes, and said, "I saw you, I saw the sliding boat, I saw the white mist on the river, and I saw ...... The cultivation of your body is the breath. ”

The boatman smiled and said, "You see me, I exist." The boat is also sliding. The aura of cultivation on my body is also exuding, but the white mist on the river does not exist......"

After the boatman finished speaking, his sleeves suddenly waved, and the white mist within a few miles of the river suddenly disappeared, and he continued: "So I said, what you see is not necessarily true, what you see is basically true. Tell me, now, what do you see?"

Shiraishi didn't know what the boatman was going to do, but in the dark, he felt that the boatman didn't mean to hurt himself, but was helping himself, so he said, "I saw that you dispersed those white mist. ”

The boatman smiled indifferently and said, "Yes, in fact, the white mist also exists. It's just that I'm going to disperse it. So what you saw before, and what you see now, is true. Then tell me again, what do you understand now?"

Bai Shi frowned, the aura of cultivation emanating from the boatman at this moment had been withdrawn by him, and then he saw the boatman shake the oars and slowly sail the boat out.

Shaking his head, Shiraishi didn't know what the boatman was trying to express at this moment.

As if he could guess Shiraishi's heart, he turned his head to look at Shiraishi and said, "If you can't understand it now, it doesn't matter, because I won't hurt you, as long as you can realize it at the critical time, then it's fine." What I have said to you today is actually for one purpose, to tell you that the Buddha is the Tao!" (to be continued......
