Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 3: Marriage
At night, the snow is rampant, and the north is like this in winter, and the weather is impermanent.
The world is also impermanent.
Xia Ji lit the candle, the light was faint, but it rose into the sky, illuminating the surrounding bookshelves, and the bookshelves were arched. Like a person who fell into a deep well, he opened the "Now Tathagata Sutra" at the bottom of the well. .
Turning page by page.
Recite word by word.
His voice was neither loud nor small, but it was still drowned out by the sound of wind and snow.
In the middle of the night, the candle has been lit for a small part.
Xia Ji closed the book.
A lonely shadow falls on the bookshelf.
He murmured: "Cut meat to feed eagles, sacrifice your body to feed tigers? All beings are equal? If all beings are equal, why do you need to sacrifice your body? If all beings are equal, why do you need incense money?"
The pages are closed.
A great mystery suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart, and the primordial spirit between the eyebrows slowly produced a golden skill bead - "Now Tathagata Zen".
Seeing the color of the skill bead, Xia Ji knew that this time his sister was not running in vain. This was his fourth golden skill bead.
Since it was golden, he used it directly.
The skill bead burst and turned into a golden stream, from the eyebrows to the blood, bones, internal organs, skin, and flesh of the whole body, rushing and covering.
In just half an hour, Xia Ji had completely mastered the "present-day Tathagata Zen" on the ninth floor. This Zen method just complemented his shortcomings.
Fudo Myo focuses on defense,
The Nine Yang Heart Sutra values internal strength,
The Eighteen Suppressing Prisons is strength.
And now the Tathagata Zen is a powerful spiritual force and an unshakable meaning.
What's the point?
If there are two people in this world, holding the same weapon, having the same power, and practicing the same skills, and only one of them can survive and the other must die, then who will decide the outcome? To be stronger, whoever can defeat the other at the spiritual level is the one who is alive.
Therefore, three thousand elites can beat a hundred thousand rabble, and the gall-breaking master is not as good as the dog-slayer.
In short, it is your spirit, the mind of Zen, the spirit of a warrior.
In the silent night, Xia Ji stood up, pushed the door and walked out. There was a small courtyard outside the Tibetan Scriptures Pavilion, which was considered a place for the prince under house arrest to walk and breathe. Shi was naturally gone, the whole palace was in the middle of the night with heavy snow, all the palaces and palaces had turned off the lights, and there were some laughter coming from the Emperor's Palace.
Xia Ji followed the stone steps to the center of the courtyard step by step. When he came to the place where the snow was thick, he did not put his hands together, but looked up at the sky, and a mysterious meaning suddenly spread out.
The wind and snow around him suddenly stopped, and he was suspended in the air for half a meter.
But the snow in front has stopped, but the snow in the back is still falling.
Soon, the snow turned into a large white bell.
Not only that, in this big clock, even the air seems to be still, and everything is motionless.
Xue Piao is in high spirits, but Xia Ji seems to have been separated from this world
When the wind and snow traveled around him, he fell into absolute stillness.
"Nianhua smiles, because seeing the flowers bloom, heaven and earth are connected to my heart, and my heart is also connected to heaven and earth. If I don't smile, the flowers won't bloom, my heart doesn't move, then the wind doesn't move, the snow doesn't move, The grass doesn't move, the flower doesn't move...
Is this the ninth level of the current Tathagata Zen? "
Xia Ji muttered to himself, and took another step forward. With a snap of his fingers, the cover of the snow paved shattered. The accumulated snow caused the ground to sink, and the young prince had already circled back to the attic. .
Two days later, in the evening, the door of the attic was pushed open, Xia Xiaosu stuck out his lovely head, Xia Ji had just finished chanting, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and the warm and relaxed atmosphere suddenly took over.
The Nine Emperor Goddess walked in with the lunch box, and then just put the vegetables on the table, which were still steaming hot, and finally, she brought out two jade and white porcelain vases, which are the immortal brewing tributes from the outer palace. .
Xia Ji sat across from her and handed over the wrapped cloth bag, "I have read the "Now Tathagata Sutra", and you will send it back to Leiyin Temple tomorrow, so as not to delay the three-day loan agreement ."
He turned his eyes, saw two bottles of fine wine, and said with a smile, "Do you still know how to add wine for me today?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Nine Emperor Goddess's tears streamed down, and then she sobbed and held a bottle of wine, "Today I will accompany my brother to drink."
Xia Ji took another bottle of wine.
Xia Xiaosu took off the cork directly, without clinking the glass, she just raised her head and took a few gulps.
This wine is too strong. The girl who usually doesn't drink a lot suddenly drank so much that she choked directly. Tears flowed out even more, but when she put down the bottle, there were already a few more pieces in front of her. The secret beef, which was brought to her mouth by her brother.
The same gentle voice came: "Drinking and not eating vegetables will hurt your body."
Xia Xiaosu ate all the beef with one mouthful, crying and chewing on the beef.
Xia Ji sighed softly, then pulled off the bottle cap and lifted the bottle.
Xia Xiaosu: ? ? ?
She understood quickly and held up the bottle.
The two touched.
Xia Xiaosu said boldly while crying~IndoMTL.com~: "Go ahead."
Xia Ji said: "If you don't do it, just take a sip."
"Oh..." The Ninth Emperor took a sip obediently, then put down the bottle, crying and saying, "Why don't you comfort me? Although we can't do anything, we can't change anything, but you As the emperor, don't you want to comfort me?"
Xia Ji's expression is very calm, like a Buddha sitting in a shrine, with no sorrow or joy, but he is not a Buddha, and there is chaos and arrogance in his heart that is close to the beginning of heaven and earth, but he is used to using the most With a gentle attitude to face his only relative, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Xiaosu cried and said: "They forced me to marry the Turks, saying that the soil and water in the Turks are good. If I marry, it will allow the Turks and the big business alliances to outflank Guifang, Quanrong, and foreign anti-Luo. Shaguo, said that this can benefit the entire big business and contribute to the country's society.
But...but, I don't want to go, I don't want to, I heard that the Turks are all savages, and once I go, I will never see my brother again, hum hum..."
Xia Ji's voice remained calm: "When did they ask you to leave?"
Xia Xiaosu: "Three months later, when the snow stops and spring begins, the Turks will send messengers to pick me up."
"Three months..."
Xia Ji thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I heard that Leiyin Temple also has a book of burning lanterns from the past. When you go to return the book tomorrow, help me borrow it back together. I can return it after reading it for one day." /
Xia Xiaosu: ? ? ?
She sighed deeply. Is her brother really obsessed with Buddhist scriptures, so obsessed that he doesn't even care about his own sister?
She cried for most of the day, Xia Ji stayed with her for most of the day, and when she left, Xia Ji held her in his arms, patted her on the back, and said in the gentlest voice, "It will be fine. "
