The sky was already dark, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. From time to time, a few birds chirped, adding a few faint autumn strokes to this cold autumn.
I didn't see the abbot, so I went down the mountain. When I reached a place where there was no one, I used a mysterious body technique and used the Divine Change. Like the wind, I left a series of blurry figures in the night. In a short while, I was almost at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. I slowed down and went straight down the path.
He thought about the past and the girl in his memory. He felt that in this world, she was the only person who could make him feel so sad. He thought about her pouting mouth and only knew that he was worried about her. If there was fate, if there was love, if there was love, then it would be the happiest thing in life. But what if he was thinking too much? Haha. Another self-deprecating smile.
I wandered in the night, bored. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, lush forests and deep bamboos, I suddenly saw a dilapidated temple. The inscription in front of the door was "Smiling Temple". Beside the door, there was an old couplet that could be vaguely seen: "Big belly tolerance, how many things in the human world; Full of joy, laughing away all the worries in the world.”
It was indeed a good couplet. It perfectly matched the name of the temple and the Zen morality of Buddhism. It was really a big belly that could tolerate things that were difficult to tolerate in the world. A kind face often laughed at the ridiculous people in the world. It was worth investigating its meaning.
He entered the temple with a hint of enlightenment. There was no one inside. The temple had been in disrepair for many years and had long been dilapidated. The red paint of the Buddha statue had peeled off and was lying on the ground in a mess. There was also an abandoned bronze bell in the corner. There was no hint of holiness.
In the past, incense was flourishing, but today, it was uninhabited. Life was fickle, and living in the mortal world, there was indeed nothing he could do. I sighed softly. I couldn't help but feel envious when I thought of the inn manager by the roadside. Perhaps in their eyes, happiness and so-called perfection were the prosperity of their business and peace. That was so within reach. Why did I do it? A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a woman walked in from outside. Her slender and tender jade feet were not even a speck of dust. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her lips were like peach petals, and her eyes were like autumn eyes. She was cautious and affectionate. Even if her beauty was compared to Qiong Ya, it might be even better. She was on the same level as Master.
Unfortunately, I was currently in an extremely bad mood. If it was in the past, I would definitely admire it properly and perhaps even introduce myself. This time, I raised my head and glanced at it, then lowered my head without saying a word.
When that otherworldly young lady saw me, a strange light flashed in her eyes that was difficult to detect. After seeing that I wasn't interested in her at all, she felt even more curious. Thinking back to the men who had seen her in the past, which one of them hadn't been infatuated with her? Their souls had left their bodies, and their faces were filled with an idiotic expression that she hated endlessly.
The young girl slowly walked in front of me and bent down to look at me with her watery eyes. After a long time, I raised my head without understanding the amorous feelings. A beautiful face came into my sight. The two of us looked at each other like this for half an incense stick of time.
At this moment, the young girl realized that my gaze was teasing her. She especially felt that my gaze was so deep. It was a little elegant and indifferent, but there was also a deep sadness that had a kind of mesmerizing magic.
The girl blushed, but she stubbornly refused to look away.
Looking at the stubborn look in her eyes, she was extremely cute. Even a thousand year old White Bones Warrior wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Even someone like me, who didn't have much self-control, couldn't help but feel speechless. However, in front of a beautiful woman, one must never lose one's temperament. The first impression was very important.
I suddenly felt that this girl was very dangerous, so I subconsciously used my nose to sniff at her. Then, I shook my head and no longer looked at her.
The young girl frowned. She got up and sniffed herself before reprimanding me."Why? Do I smell bad?"
"It's not smelly." I looked at her with an infuriating gaze and pretended to be nonchalant."But it's not fragrant either."
The girl's expression changed unpredictably. She suddenly smiled like a hundred flowers blooming."Do you believe that I will kill you right now?" Her slightly malevolent expression and her pure face that was like a snow lotus formed an extremely strange and seductive picture.
It didn't seem to match, but it was extremely coordinated and enchanting.
"Yes." I said without changing my expression.
"Then are you afraid?" The girl smiled even more brightly, her voice soft and seductive.
"I'm afraid." I still used that lukewarm tone.
"Why can't I see that you're afraid at all!”the young girl said angrily.
I immediately panicked and was at a loss. I looked at the young girl without anyone around me. I looked as panicked as I could be, as wretched as I could be, and there were even faint signs of cold sweat. After looking at her for a while, I regained my handsome and unrestrained side and said indifferently,"This time will do, right?"
The girl was stunned and speechless. Her innocent expression was adorable. After a long time, she regained her senses and glared at me."Let me ask you a question. If you answer it correctly, your life will be with you for the time being. If you can't answer it, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
"Go ahead." I closed my eyes and adjusted my mood.
When the young girl saw this empty temple, her eyes turned and she said,""If you can't match the second half of the couplet, you won't be able to pass today.”
I pondered for a moment and revealed a confident expression. I smiled evilly and said,"The Buddha of the temple is greater than the man. How about it?"
The girl snorted. She didn't expect it to be so fast, and there was no flaw in the second half of the couplet. She turned her head to look at the big bell in the temple, so she had an idea and said,"No one shakes, no one shouts, only one person is smiling foolishly in the temple.”After saying that, he turned around and looked at me malevolently.
I looked at the woman with a smile that wasn't a smile. My eyes revealed a mocking expression as I said,"There are dragons and insects.”
The woman was furious when she heard that. Killing intent appeared in her eyes. She was about to kill me when she seemed to sense something. She looked at the temple door and smiled."Send the monk back to the temple tomorrow."
"Don't kill me now." At this moment, a sentence came from outside the door. It was also the second half of the couplet. Before this, I also sensed that there was someone outside the door. No matter what, he had decades of internal energy. Although he couldn't use it completely and couldn't replace his eyes with his ears, his hearing was still stronger than ordinary experts.
As I was secretly sighing at the beauty of the second half of the couplet, I looked at the door as I was thinking. A monk came in at the door. After seeing him, I didn't know how to describe my emotions because that monk was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Zhishan. He still had a kind smile on his face and a white beard. It was just that his smile now contained some helplessness.
Although he was a little surprised and excited, he still said calmly,"It's hard to forget in this life."
After saying that, I unconsciously thought of Qiong Ya, that girl whose name I didn't know, and my master who had been taking care of me since I was young. An indescribable melancholy and a faint sense of loneliness emanated from my body.
In fact, there are many things that I can't do in life. Sometimes, I'm cute and naive, and sometimes, I'm mature and experienced. Although I haven't experienced many storms, I know that some people and things must be cherished. I don't want to regret it when I lose them because the heavens won't give you a second chance. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a trace of self-mockery that wasn't easy to detect.
"Old monk, after chasing this lady for three days and three nights, are you finally going to make a move?”The seductive woman said disdainfully to Master Zhi Shan. Her killing intent instantly disappeared without a trace. The woman looked at the abbot with a faint smile. Her tone was filled with stubbornness.
"Amitabha. Miss has already borrowed my sect's treasure for three days and three nights. You've seen enough. Can you let me bring it back to the temple?”The old monk still had a benevolent look on his face, but he no longer had the attitude of letting fate take its course. His entire body emitted a solemn aura that made people respect him. That was the awe-inspiring aura that could only be obtained after decades of Buddhist scriptures. At this moment, I realized that I had underestimated him previously. Moreover, he had also left me a way out two years ago. I sighed with emotion that Shaolin really did not live up to its reputation. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the world. In the past, I was just sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
"I haven't seen enough. So what if I don't return it?”The seductive young girl left me hanging to the side. She took out a beautiful purple flower from somewhere and played with it in her hand. She lowered her head and looked at the beautiful purple petals in her hand.
"This old monk will follow Young Lady until Young Lady has seen enough and wants to return it.”The old abbot said calmly, without the slightest anger. It could be seen that his self-restraint had far surpassed the common people.
"If I don't return it for the rest of my life, won't you have to follow me for the rest of your life?”The young girl sneered. Her eyes gleamed with killing intent.
"Amitabha. There is reincarnation in every lifetime. Life is like a dream. With a flick of a finger, everything has its own laws. It is like a dream, a bubble, or a dream. A lifetime is not long. It is all in your mind.”The old monk clasped his hands together and lowered his head. His serene aura imperceptibly calmed the girl's gradually growing murderous aura.
"As the abbot of Shaolin Temple, why don't you stay in the temple and comprehend Buddhism? Why do you follow me around all day? Aren't you afraid that your disciples will kill each other for your position when you're not in the temple?”The young girl teased the abbot after her killing intent subsided.
"As a monk, I have long been cleansed. I won't rashly kill for the position of a mere abbot. As a monk, I only want to save all living beings and purify my heart.”The abbot said calmly.
"To think that you're an accomplished monk. How do you not know that Buddha can't save people?”The young girl's face was filled with anger, and her tone carried a hint of mockery.
The old monk shook his head slightly and muttered," To ferry one person is to ferry, and to ferry thousands of people is to ferry. All living beings are equal, and there is no difference between the two. Everything comes and goes. If you want me to ferry you, I may not be able to ferry you. If you don't want me to ferry you, I may be able to ferry you.”
"Is there any difference between one person suffering and the entire world suffering?”My mind moved, and I looked excitedly at the Shaolin Abbot, Master Zhishan, who seemed to have great wisdom. It was as if I wanted to untie a dead knot in my heart.
" There's no difference," the old monk said slowly.
