drunk drunk Changan

By the Qujiang Pool, catkins are flying.

Taoist Ziqing, as always, set up a stall here for fortune-telling.

And the alcoholic around him also drank from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, and from winter to spring.

Shang Hongye also drank a lot of wine today, and walked up to Ziqing while drunk.

"Daoist, I have a question I want to ask."

"Two essays for divination, five essays for questioning."

Shang Hongye took out five Wen coins and handed them to Ziqing.

Ziqing put the money away: "What do you want to ask?"

"In Taoist Priest's view, what is reincarnation?"

Ziqing did not answer immediately, but said: "A year ago you asked me about life and death, and today you asked me about reincarnation. It seems that you really hate this world of mortals."

Shang Hongye smiled wryly: "Yeah, I hate it so much. I finally found someone who wanted to give me my life, but he died one step ahead of me, and left a walking dead body in this world, which made me feel uncomfortable every time I saw it. .”

"Eight to nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life."

"A year ago, you said that people are dying from birth. Now I want to ask you, is reincarnation the process from death to life?"

"According to Taoist theory, it's not wrong to say that." Ziqing walked to the edge of Qujiang Pool and sat down facing the water. "But I don't think this is the answer you want."

Shang Hongye sat next to Ziqing by the Qujiang Pond, quietly waiting for Ziqing's next words.

Ziqing rolled up his sleeves, leaned over and scooped up a handful of water: "This is a handful of water."

Then, Ziqing let go of his hand and let the water fall back into Qujiang Pond: "Now, this handful of water has been put into storage."

Shang Hongye was puzzled: "Storage?"

Ziqing explained: "Longevity, bathing, crown belt, official position, emperor prosperity, decline, illness, death, tomb, extinct, fetus, and nourishment, this is the life and death cycle of Taoism. The tomb is also called the library. Ku means that all things return to heaven and earth after death."

After finishing speaking, Ziqing stretched out his hand again and picked up another handful of water: "This is a handful of water, but it is no longer the previous handful of water. This is the reincarnation you asked about."

Shang Hongye also leaned over and picked up a handful of water: "If I say that the one in my hand is the one you put down just now, how can you prove that it is not?"

"I can't prove that it's not, and you can't prove that it is." Ziqing smiled, "But if you think it is, and I think it is, then it doesn't matter? Conversely, if you and I both think it is No, then even if it is, it won't have any effect."

Shang Hongye continued to ask: "The handful in your hand, or the handful in my hand, which one is the one you put down just now?"

"Maybe both, maybe neither."

"Then will anyone still remember the past life after reincarnation?"

"Look, there is a catkin on the water in my hand."

After Shang Hongye saw it clearly, Ziqing let go of the catkins and let the catkins flow down the water to return to the pool, then picked up the catkins and handed them to Shang Hongye.

The pool water in Ziqing's hands was clear, and Ziqing's eyes were even clearer.

Shang Hongye smiled: "I see."

"If you can solve the doubts in your heart, it will not be in vain for you and me to meet again in this life."

"We meet again in this life..." Shang Hongye looked at Ziqing, stunned for a moment, and then said, "A lot of catkins fell on the shoulders of the Taoist priest."

……

…………

"Hey, what time are you going to sleep?"

A clear voice came from the ear.

Xu Hongye opened his eyes.

The flying catkins floated in from the window at some point, and under the reflection of the setting sun, it looked like it was on fire.

Xu Hongye stared blankly at Qingyu, and said after a while, "There are many catkins on your shoulders."

"Ah." Qing Ku took a look, reached out and patted all the catkins off his shoulders, "Get up quickly, it's time to go."

"Where?"

"Master Zeng please drink, are you sleepy?"

"Oh, I forgot that besides you, he also invited me this time. Speaking of which, it's only been two months since you invited him last time, so you moved very quickly!"

Qing Kui looked at the setting sun and smiled: "Maybe it's because the knot in my heart has been untied."

Xu Hongye also smiled: "If you want to come to this world, there are people who have waited for him for thousands of years, and now they have finally waited for him to cleanse their past. This may be the meaning of reincarnation."

"Don't hurt the spring and the autumn, just change your clothes and go out."

"You didn't even refute me, it seems that you remembered a lot of things?"

"Remember?" Qing Kui picked up the clothes at the foot of the bed and threw them to Xu Hongye, "I just saw someone else's story in my dream."

Xu Hongye said with a playful smile while putting on his clothes: "Speaking of which, I also had a dream just now. I dreamed that I was sitting by a willow tree drinking, and you were looking for Taoist Master Ziqing to tell your fortune."

Qing Kui was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Hahahaha... I like your nonsense."

"Get dressed, let's go."

"The place is Go Back Lai Xi Bar, let's go over there."

"Okay." Xu Hongye walked out the door after Qing Yu, "Speaking of which, who is Master Zeng's true love?"

"you guess?"

Not surprisingly, I will draw a commemorative picture of the end, and put it directly in this chapter.
