[This chapter is very hard to write, very delicate, very serious...please ask for a red ticket. At the same time, I recommend everyone to watch and listen to a piece of music, um, "Fireworks Easy to Cold"......]

After the incident from Li You, Concubine Yin De turned to Buddha and moved from Dajiaoguan to the Xuanwu Hall near Tianwang Temple.

The furnishings in the Xuanwu Hall are very simple, and there is a faint fragrance of Sanskrit around the corridors. Except for a few eunuchs guarding the gate outside, there are only three Lao Ni and Yin De concubine living in Ruoda's palace.

When Qin Mubai saw Concubine Yin De, she was sitting cross-legged on a black ponytail, with her hair **** high and simply formed into a ponytail, wearing a plain black-breasted gray-white robe, twisting the prayer beads in her hands. Knock on the wooden fish, close your eyes and listen to Zen. An old nun who was at least sixty years old sat opposite her, chanting softly.

Princess Gao Yang told Qin Mubai softly that it was Master Shanqing, the master of her mother and concubine. She has been a monk since childhood and has been practicing Buddhism for at least 50 years.

After the two of them entered, Shanqing stopped talking about Zen, opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Niang Niang, there is a chance."

Concubine Yin De looked back and saw the princess Gao Yang coming from a trot. There was a hint of kindly joy in the face of the willow; she saw Qin Mubai walking slowly, and her eyebrows couldn't help but feel relieved. Yang, his expression slightly stagnated.

Qingshan glanced at it, then slowly closed his eyes, and chanted: "Amitabha...All sentient beings are emptiness, true heartlessness, and pure nature."

Yin De Concubine turned around hurriedly, and prayed: "Master, I will not be able to cut all the fate... Rather, please ask the master to shave off the three thousand troubles for the disciple, and formally accept me. Buddhism!"

Qingshan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, smiled, shook his head, and said leisurely: "True is like a Buddha, not a mortal form; troubles and dirt are originally invisible, so how can you wash away the quality of the body?"

"Tui'er is ashamed..." Concubine Yinde bowed her eyebrows and bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Buddha said, for the sake of life, there will be emotional troubles and sorrows if you are attached to each other. If Yigen is brave and physically down, Cultivating to the point where one thought does not reproduce, that is the original face... The disciple is puzzled, there are many Buddhist thoughts, and the Buddha has sentiment, so why can’t one thought be reborn?"

Qingshan smiles without speaking.

Princess Gao Yang has ran to the front and slowed down, gently snuggling Concubine Yin De to sit down, and said in confusion: "Mother, what are you talking to Master Qingshan? Why can't I understand a word?"

Concubine Yin De smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to caress Princess Fu Gaoyang's dark and smooth bun, "Ling'er, she is going to be married too... Time flies!"

"Hey!" Princess Gao Yang smiled innocently, "Mother, I specially called Mu Bai together today to accompany you for a vegetarian meal!"

"Really?" Concubine Yin De smiled faintly, and a candlelight stretched figure of a man was already reflected in front of her. He heard Qin Mubai say behind him: "Weichen Qin Mubai, I have seen a lady."

"Everyone here is a layman, and only the Qingshan Master is honored." Concubine Yin De did not respond, nor looked back, but said softly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, folded his hands together and bowed to Qingshan and bowed his bow: "The disciple Qin Mubai has met Master Qingshan."

"The donor exempts the gift." At this time, Qingshan opened his eyes again, looked up and down Qin Mubai with a soft look, nodded slightly, and smiled profoundly, "Poor nun, I haven't seen it for many years. He's a heroic person like the donor."

"The master is absurd. Qin knows nothing about Buddhism. If there is any abruptness that disturbs Purity here, please forgive me." Qin Mubai said.

Qingshan raised his head slightly to look at Qin Mubai, nodded and smiled: "Everyone who has no intentions and no dwellings is born in the world. There is a Buddha in his heart, and the Buddha is everywhere. Why should he stick to the classic Zen temple? Donor Qin, your spiritual energy is the beginning, and you have great affinity with the Buddha."

"Ah, no?" Princess Gao Yang was confused when she heard the words, but was frightened by Qingshan's second sentence, and panicked, "Mu Bai, you don't know how to become a monk?"

"Stupid boy, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Yin De smiled, "Master Qingshan just praised Mu Bai for his qualifications."

"Oh, that's almost the same...hehe!" Princess Gao Yang smiled relieved.

Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head, really speechless to Princess Gao Yang. However, although he has never been interested in Buddhism and Taoism, he always has a trace of awe in his heart. In other words, this is the wisdom accumulated by countless people for thousands of years. No matter what its brilliant and practical features, at least it is also the accumulation of human wisdom and history. It always has its uniqueness and uniqueness.

"The donor sits down for a while, and the poor nuns will arrange the vegetarian meal." After saying that, Qingshan got up and sang Fonuo to leave first. For a moment, the other two old **** came in and offered tea, and left silently.

Qin Mubai sat down quietly on one side of the couch, without saying much. Concubine Yin De was sitting with Princess Gao Yang. Princess Gao Yang was still a little naughty nestled in her mother's arms with her thigh in her mother's arms, chatting softly and softly.

The Zen room is very quiet, and the environment of the entire Xuanwu Hall is also very quiet. It is indeed a good place to escape from the world and cultivate one's mind.

It seems that Concubine Yin De, has long been integrated with this environment. The soberness, serenity, and calmness she has cultivated over the past 20 years has made her calm and in harmony with the surrounding atmosphere, as if it were natural.

Since entering the room, Concubine Yin De has never looked at Qin Mubai once. But Qin Mubai clearly felt that her attention was always directed at her inadvertently, and a ray of light fell on him from the corner of her eyes.

"Under her plain and elegant appearance, is that heart really as quiet as water?"

Soon, Su Zhai came. In the food culture of the Tang Dynasty, meaty dishes are the mainstream, and all the famous dishes are meat dishes or deep-fried dishes. Therefore, although the current food culture is dazzling and colorful, it is actually not very healthy. I am afraid that this is also an important inducement or manifestation of the Tang people's view of fatness as beauty.

Occasionally eating a vegetarian meal to clear the stomach and intestines, I feel pretty good. Moreover, the Suzhai in places like Huguo Tianwang Temple is obviously not as simple as just boiling vegetables and radishes, but is very delicate and elegant, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the color and fragrance.

Qin Mubai had a good meal. Drink a sip of tea after the meal, the fragrance of lips and teeth is very comfortable.

It's too early to finish eating. Now that I have come to a Buddhist monastery, why not be a good man and a believer? Qin Mubai immediately donated some sesame oil. Qingshan did not refuse, and accepted these brass vulgar objects without a trace of firework. She said: "Buddhist temples are not short of sesame oil. But Buddhism never refuses to accept the fate of faith, so the sesame oil is accepted by the poor and the nuns. It can be regarded as the heart of the Qin donor.

Princess Gao Yang said with a grin: "Master Qingshan, can you always tell my mother those Buddhist scriptures every day? Why don't you tell us today? I would like to know Good fun!"

"Ling'er can't make trouble unreasonably!" Concubine Yin De groaned, "Master Qingshan is profound in Buddhism, but it is not fun to tell stories."

Qingshan smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Since your Royal Highness is interested, it is okay for the poor nun to tell the princess a story."

"Hehe, okay!" Princess Gaoyang nodded cheerfully, "Have you heard, mother? The Buddha family also tells stories, what's the matter!"

Qin Mubai took a sip of tea, and did not say anything. He always felt that the old man in front of him, who was not showing the mountains and not showing the water, was more than 60 years old, and had a pair of insightful eyes. What would the story in her mouth be like?

Qin Mubai is looking forward to it.

Qingshan's eyes swept across the three people in the hall very naturally and softly, and started talking leisurely--

"Once upon a time, a scholar, he and his beloved woman had an affectionate relationship, and agreed to marry a couple. But that day, his wife married someone else. The scholar was in grief and could not afford to be ill. ."

"Wow!" Princess Gao Yang exclaimed, "That woman is too much! ——Master Qingshan, how do you tell this kind of story! Don't you know that Mu Bai and I... just... Are you getting married?"

"The poor nun knows. Your Royal Highness stays safe and restless." Qingshan smiled calmly, and continued, "The scholar's family could not cure the scholar's illness even after seeking famous doctors. One day, a monk passed by. His family voluntarily came to the scholar to treat his illness. He did not take the injection and medication, but just showed it to the scholar with a mirror."

"It is a three-life mirror that can see people's past and present lives. An image appeared in the mirror, revealing a beach with a naked female body lying on the beach. At this moment, a person passed by and took a look. , Shook his head and left; soon another person came, took off his clothes and covered the woman; finally, someone came and dug a hole to bury the woman's body."

"The scholar was very puzzled. At this time, there was such a scene in the mirror. When the woman's bridal chamber was festooned, his husband lifted his hijab..."

Speaking of this, Qingshan paused. Seeing that Princess Gaoyang and Concubine Yin De looked at him in confusion. Qin Mubai held a cup of tea and drank thoughtfully and slowly.

"Donor Qin, what did you think of?" Qingshan asked.

Qin Mubai folded his hands for ten, and smiled: "The disciple is thinking, the female corpse and the woman are the same person in the past and present life; the scholar is probably the person who covered the female corpse in the previous life; and the woman's husband , Is the kind man who buried him in the hole."

"Ah..." Concubine Yin De and Princess Gao Yang were shocked.

Qingshan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible surprise and admiration, and he smiled and nodded, "Good destiny, good destiny... good, good!"

"Master Qingshan...that..." Princess Gao Yang paused and said, "Na Mubai, is it the one who buried me in the previous life?"

"Unknowable, unspeakable." Qingshan closed his eyes and smiled, and said leisurely, "Past life and present life, predestined generation and demise, who can say clearly, know the night? Know the day and know the night, know the beginning and know In the end, if you don’t realize that you’re looking forward to your life, you will know where you live and rest in the end. Why should the princess cling to the past life?"

"I don't understand..." Princess Gao Yang shook her head in confusion.

Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Then please, your Royal Highness, listen to another story!"

"Good!"

"Once upon a time there was a temple with a flourishing incense, which passed on for thousands of years. There was a spider under the eaves in front of the temple. After thousands of years of listening to the Buddhist scriptures, he gained spirituality and enlightenment. One day, the Buddha came to this temple, Ask this spider'what is the most precious in the world'?"

Speaking of this, Qingshan stopped again, and asked with a smile: "All three might as well answer this question. Consort De, please go first!"

Yin Defei put her hands together and bowed, bit her lip and frowned lightly for a moment in thought, and said: "Really respond to things without distinction. The most precious thing in the world is nothing more than the unobtainable or the lost." /

Qingshan nodded and smiled: "Where is the princess?"

Princess Gao Yang thought without hesitation: "Feelings! The most noble thing in the world is affection-family, love, friendship!"

Qingshan still nodded and smiled and asked Qin Mubai, "Where is the donor Qin?"

Qin Mubai put down the teacup and folded his hands together, smiled and said: "This moment, including every moment in life, is the most precious."

Qingshan raised his eyebrows, and the twirling prayer beads in his hand couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Master, who of us answered correctly?" Princess Gao Yang asked.

Qingshan laughed and did not answer, but said: "After listening to this story, you will know-after the Buddha asked the spider, the spider's answer was "What is not obtained, and what has been lost, is the most Precious'."

"Huh? The answer is the same as my mother?!" Princess Gao Yang said in shock.

Concubine Yin De was also stunned for a while, looking at Qingshan in amazement.

"Don't worry." Qingshan just smiled and continued, "The Buddha got the spider's answer and went away without saying a word. After another thousand years, the Buddha came to this temple again and still saw that A spider. After a thousand years of practice, the spider’s Buddha nature and understanding have greatly increased. The Buddha asked it the same question again, and the spider answered the same. The most precious thing in the world is the unobtainable and the lost. The Buddha still does not have it. Talk more, nod and smile."

The three of them were holding their breath, quietly listening to Qingshan telling this ancient story.

Qingshan twisted the Buddha beads and closed his eyes and pondered, and said leisurely: "After another thousand years, suddenly one day, a gust of wind blew a dewdrop off the spider's body. The spider suddenly felt very comfortable, very Happy. It felt that this was its happiest day in three thousand years. But the wind didn’t stop, and the dewdrop was blown off soon. The spider was very lost and sad. At this time, the Buddha appeared and still asked him the same question. The spider thought of dewdrops and said sadly, the most precious things in the world are not obtained and lost."

"The Buddha said with a smile, since you are so persistent, I will let you go to the world and arrange a marriage for you. So, let the spider reincarnate in the world and become a famous daughter. She is beautiful, generous, and well-known. The people who came to beg have crossed the threshold, but she insisted on not marrying, waiting for a marriage arranged by the Buddha. Finally one day, she met a man named Ganlu Man. He is the No. 1 in the new division. He is only eight-fought and suave. She knew at a glance that this was the fate of her. Because she recognized that the No. 1'Ganlu' was the one she met on the spider web several years ago. That drop of dewdrop. So she found Ganlu and pointed out her thoughts to him. But Ganlu was very confused and thought she was ridiculous, and refused her favor. A few days later, the palace ordered Ganlu and a princess. Married and betrothed her to another prince she didn’t know each other. When the spider heard the news, if she was struck by a thunderbolt, she couldn’t figure out why the Buddha teased and abused her so much. So she didn’t eat or drink. Looking for death, the prince heard the news and hurried to see her. Seeing that she was dying, the prince said bitterly that he fell in love with her at first sight, so he went to ask his father to marry him. If the spider can't live, he has no desire to live! , He is going to draw his sword and slay himself..."

"Wow..." Princess Gao Yang sighed softly, "This prince is so infatuated! But the spider only has Ganlu in his heart. It would be really embarrassing to be me!"

Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Just as the prince was about to draw his sword to slay himself, the Buddha appeared. The spider immediately asked the Buddha, why did he treat her like this? The Buddha answered with a smile, spider, the nectar is brought by the wind. It is also taken by the wind. He belongs only to the wind. The princess who married the champion Ganlu is the wind. That drop of nectar is just a passer-by in your life. Although you are full of nostalgia for it, it does not belong to you after all. The prince was a piece of grass under the spider web of the Buddhist temple. He looked up at you for three thousand years and admired you for three thousand years, but you never looked down at him."

"After saying what the Buddha said, both the spider and the prince remembered the time of three thousand years. The Buddha asked again, spider, I will ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? The spider was so moved that she cried, and she hugged the prince. Said, the most precious thing in the world is not that it is not obtained or has been lost, but the happiness that can be grasped right now!"

The story of Qingshan is over. The room was quiet.

Princess Gao Yang's eyes were red, but she did not cry or shed tears, she just held her mother's hand tightly and bit her lip.

Qin Mubai lightly frowned and carried the cup of tea, looking at the tiny traces of tea powder floating on the surface of the tea, thinking in his heart: Although there are some illusions about Buddhism and Taoism, there are many famous sayings. This story is wonderful. Indeed, the most cherished thing in the world is everything that I have around me now. I don’t feel it when I have it, and I regret it when I lose it. This is probably a common problem among people...

At this time, Qin Mubai vaguely felt that a strange gaze fell on his face softly and accidentally. Without thinking about it, he almost instinctively raised his eyelids and looked at the opposite side, just to meet the eyes of Concubine Yin De.

Four eyes face each other, and they separate quickly.

With a startling glance, Qin Mubai couldn't understand the meaning of her eyes.

"Three thousand years of looking up and admiring, you never looked down at him..."

……

"The three of them are all destined to Buddha." The sound of the kindness broke the tranquility of the scene, and said in a relaxed and leisurely manner, "Mother and daughter are of the same mind, and are equally obsessed with love. The most in the world Precious is indeed emotion. Man is not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? Buddha also has affection, compassion for the world to universalize all living beings. However, the concubine de consort, the princess, the most precious in the world, is not unavailable or lost, but The happiness that can be grasped right now. As the donor Qin said, at this moment, every moment in life is beautiful and worth cherishing."

"Thank you, Master."

The three people clapped their hands together and bent over and worshiped.

Be pious.

"The Consort De, Lao Ni, there is one last story I want to tell you. But if your Royal Highness and Donor Qin are interested, you might as well listen to it." Qingshan said.

"Master Xie." The three worshiped again, and neither Qin Mubai nor Princess Gaoyang had any intention of leaving.

"Once upon a time, there was a peerless woman who was proud and arrogant. She ignored ordinary suitors and only pursued her ideal husband. One day, she happened to be in the vast sea of ​​people. Seeing a man in the middle of the world, her heart throbbed, and she believed that man was the marriage of her fate. However, the man was fleeting and she could not find it again. So she went to the Buddha. She used her piety And the attachment moved the Buddha, so the Buddha appeared and asked her, do you want to see that man again? The woman answered yes. The Buddha said that you have to practice for five hundred years and be exposed to the wind and sun for five hundred years to see him again. You Do you want it? The woman replied, I do."

"So the Buddha turned her into a rock and lay in the barren mountains. After 499 years of wind and sun, no one was seen. In the 500th year, how many people came A stonemason quarried her out of the mountain and chiseled into stone strips to build a bridge. Finally, she waited until the man walked across the bridge. But the man didn’t know that he turned into a stone and left with a quick glance. The woman was not reconciled. , Said to the Buddha, I would like to be exposed to the wind for another five hundred years, just to let me touch his skin. The Buddha agreed. The Buddha made her incarnate as a tree and grew alone for five hundred years This day was a cool day. The man came under the tree, sleepy and tired, and lay in the shade for a while. The woman cried with joy, and pulled the branches into shade, shielding him from the scorching sun. The man slept under the tree. I woke up, touched the trunk gratefully, and left."

Princess Gao Yang whispered with red eyes: "That man, he's so unkind..."

Qingshan just smiled and continued: "When the man disappeared, the Buddha appeared. He asked the woman if you want to be a husband and wife with him for the rest of your life, then you must continue to practice. The woman smiled relievedly and shook her head. She said that although I really want to do it, I don’t need it. So I’m very satisfied. I love him, and I don’t have to have him to be his wife. The Buddha nodded and smiled happily and said that he and his current wife, in order to be able to marry a lifetime husband and wife. , Each has been exposed to three thousand years of wind and sun."

Princess Gaoyang burst into tears immediately, got up and walked to Qin Mubai's side, squatting down to hug him tightly: "Mu Bai, we have been practicing for three thousand years before we were together!"

"Amitabha...It is clear that there is no life and death, come and go constantly. Right and wrong are like yesterday’s dream, and they are true and quick to accept." Qingshan closed his eyes, smiled with his hands folded, and chanted, "This The real end of the story is that the Buddha said that you have to see him once, touch him once, and be exposed to 500 years of wind and 500 years of sun; in fact, another person touches you once to see you and married you once. Practicing hard for two thousand years. Now... he may have less suffering for one thousand years."

Concubine Yin De Concubine closed her eyes and her lips trembled slightly, her hands folded and bowed and bowed her head and nodded: "Master, the disciple knows what is wrong. The disciple knows what to do..."

"Amitabha..." Qingshan sighed, nodded and smiled, "Where can I get a mountain and a river? A word and a silence is always the result of Iraq; it is all difficult to recite, and the warmth and coldness have never been known. De Concubine, you have a deep roots, why do you have to be far-fetched? Happy to know fate, no joys and no worries, wonderfulness, and joy is hard to tell. Lao Ni will give you a word to Qin's benefactor, and there is a Buddha in his heart. , Then the Buddha is everywhere, so why stick to the classic Zen temple?-you, go!"

Princess Gao Yang was taken aback: "Master, where do you want my mother to go?"

"Where did you come from? Where did you go." Qingshan closed her eyes, smiled, and chanted, "Amitabha..."

Concubine Yin De kowtowed several heads, stood up, looked at the towering Buddha above her head from a long distance, and said leisurely: "Gao Yang, accompany you to see you...Father!"

Qin Mubai drank the last sip of tea, put down the cup, and got up.

Now, he can only see the back of Concubine Yin De, but he seems to have seen a sigh that has traveled through thousands of years... She, after all, has to go back and protect the one who wants to have a relationship with the husband and wife of one life, and looks up to her for three thousand years. , I have been hardworking for two thousand years, but I have never seen a man... And I, perhaps, once put a dress on her corpse in a previous life, and turned into a roar beside her. Destined to be just a passerby in her life.

Passenger...
