floating snow

Great skill is like clumsiness, great wisdom is like foolishness.

And the clumsiness of a wise man, who can tell whether it is true or false.

I'm afraid, cleverness will be mistaken by cleverness.

The Taoist lives in the vast sky, and although there is only one Taoist in the angry mountains and seas, the Taoist who is silent all day long does not feel deserted, because occasionally unexpected guests will come to the door.It's just that most people sent invitations first, or directly transmitted sound with secret methods, and most of them would not directly break into his residence unless it was imminent.

He is the head of the Taoist Xuanzong. With this title alone, everyone will respect him three points.

Shi Yanwen is a special case.

Not only did he break in, but he also occupied his storm booth openly, sleeping unconsciously with his hands on his chin.

The clothes were not as neat as when they parted, the sleeves wrapped around the wrist guards slipped to the crook of the arms, the brows were furrowed tightly, the hair crown was not on, and the dry black hair was soaked by the night mist of the sea, and was only held in place by a hairpin. It seems that it was sorted out in a panic and not cleared up.

It was so cold that his lips turned purple, but he still kept this posture motionless.

The guest turned his back and walked out of the booth calmly, as if he had never seen Shi Yanwen.The whisk in the Taoist's hand was tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but he didn't make any movements, and silently exited the pavilion.

The Taoist walked slowly, and when he was about to disappear into the vastness of the sky, he looked back again.

The Fengbo Pavilion is very monotonous, and the frames that outline the small pavilions all present heavy colors. He suddenly remembered the scene when Shi Yanwen first came to Tianbo Haomiao.At that time, he also looked like this, but he was much more decent than now, and his words were calm and full of spirit, instead of the current description of sluggishness.

The guest's impression of Shi Yanwen is the same, in some aspects even deeper than the Taoist.

Anyway, at their first meeting, Shi Yanwen was at least sober.

"My friend doesn't seem very calm."

There is no need to say this kind of thing.

The Taoist was a little helpless, he knew that Su Zhenzhen had been in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, and not all the methods he used to handle things could stand the test, just like the existence of the city that cannot be swallowed by magic, as long as the perpetrators were identified, he would kill them regardless.

It is sometimes not the prerogative of the wicked to use the means to achieve their ends.

"The house is busy, the hospitality is not good, laugh at me."

Jianzi Xianji didn't mind, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the incident happened in a hurry, can Xianshou have a way to deal with it?"

"How to deal with it depends on your friends."

"Me?" Jianzi Xianji was surprised, "Could it be that Xianshou wants me to take him away to practice Taoism?"

The Taoist looked at him, "A few days ago, Yanwen had an interview with the Xiantian of the Three Sects. What was the result?"

Jianzi Xianji smiled, strangely said that he just cleaned up the reincarnation curse on Shi Yanwen's body that day, but invited the three of them to come together, it really was the idea.

"Shi Yan's literary and martial arts are excellent, and his literary talent is not bad. The gentle and jade quality really makes people feel good, but the way is natural, and his mind is too serious. I am afraid that he will not be able to do it naturally, which is not in line with the way. I really appreciate Shi Yanwen's awe-inspiring temperament, but Shi Yanwen and Su are really close, he must not give Su Huanzhen this troublesome excuse to come to the door at will. As for the Buddha sword, I think you know his situation better than us... "

The Taoist nodded, "Perhaps it is because he is reborn in Nirvana with the mantra of rebirth, so the power of Buddhism, which has the power to bless ordinary people, has the power to restrain him."

"That's it. He has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, but he can't enter the Buddhist gate."

The Taoist didn't have any surprises. Since he had already considered Shi Yanwen's future, he naturally understood these things, "Cang knows that this matter cannot be forced, and I invited my friends here today just to ask for confirmation. Right now, Cang has other important matters, so please help me." Friends running around."

Having known him for many years, Jianzi Xianji naturally understood what he meant, and was so cautious, thinking that the matter of "running around" for it was somewhat serious.

"Please say."

"There is an outsider from the Confucian School, whose name is Sulshimo Luo. Cang wants to ask his friend to ask... Has he gone out in the past two days, when did he go out, when did he come back, who did he meet and what did he say? .”

As for the affairs of Confucianism, it is natural that Jianzi Xianji is the most suitable to inquire about.

Jianzi Xianji still had a three-point impression of this name, and he admired what he had done, so he heard the clue, "Could it be that the person this person is looking for is Shi Yanwen?"

"Yes."

"If you find out, how are you going to do it?"

The Taoist stared at the waves of the sea and was silent for a moment, his expression became colder, "If a person does something wrong and does not know how to repent, he will be punished."

……

The remnant rosy clouds suddenly change color, and the geese roaming around make more noises.

The setting sun is red through the reed flowers, and the red clouds draw a dreamy stroke on the river. Shi Yanwen breaks off the reed branches, removes the pulp and removes the core, embeds the grass pieces, and folds a simple flute.

The sound of the flute was disturbing, and it was better to blow the grass leaves that were picked at random. It was a waste of effort, Shi Yanwen sighed, pulled out a piece of water grass from nowhere, wrapped it around the reed flute, and tied it like a canoe out, and thrown into the water again.

The reed flute was so light that when it landed on the water, it didn't even make a splash, and drifted away with Jiang Tao.

See, things that take a lot of effort will not end well in the end.It's better to dress up and let yourself go.

He just thought this way, and the reed flute water plant hooked the lotus leaf lazily lying on the water surface, floating up and down with the lotus leaf.

"..."

Shi Yanwen stared at the hooked place for a long time, then suddenly reached out to grab it, as if he wanted to take it back, but he ignored the distance between himself and the lotus platform, and fell into the water with a plop.

That's the way to wake up.

Looking back at the lotus platform, the Buddha was looking at him quietly without saying a word.

Shi Yanwen was extremely embarrassed, it was nothing more than a trance during the practice, and it also disturbed the meditation of the Buddha.He stretched out his hand to hold onto the edge of the waterside pavilion. Unexpectedly, the Buddha suddenly swept the water surface with a dust whisk, as if an invisible hand had appeared out of thin air, supporting Shi Yanwen's body and sending it to the lotus platform.

The cold river water soaked the Buddha's clothes, and the Buddha seemed unaware. His expression was solemn and his treasure was solemn. Seeing it, Shi Yanwen felt quite uneasy. It took him a long time to realize that he had to sit cross-legged and wait for the Buddha The "teaching".

"Yanwen is reckless, disturbing senior."

The Buddha put the fly whisk on his knees and sighed softly, "What do you want to do?"

Shi Yanwen blinked, "The junior doesn't understand the meaning of the senior."

"Qin Jiaxian's words made you worry."

"..."

The Buddha asked again, "What do you want to do?"

Shi Yanwen lowered his eyes, and in the corner of his eyes, the reed flute was entangled under the rosette, unable to be free.After a long while, he looked at the Buddha, calm and unafraid, "No matter what I want to do, seniors can't interfere, can't they?"

Rather direct.

"is it?"

The Buddha looked at the stubborn young man in white in front of him, and slowly raised his hand...

The coldness of the river evaporated in an instant, and the elegant water pavilion also began to vibrate.

"Wait!" Shi Yanwen's face turned pale, "Senior... this illusion is connected to my state of mind, if it is forcibly destroyed, Yanwen might fall into a deep sleep from now on, senior must think clearly."

The Buddha stopped his movements, and his tone became somewhat harsh, "What do you want to take such a risk?"

Under the pressure, Shi Yanwen refused to give in at all, "Senior, this junior does not mean to offend. Although this illusion is isolated from external perception, it can also help senior practice with peace of mind. Yanwen just hopes that senior will not interfere."

The solemnity became even more dignified. The Buddha stretched out his finger, and Shi Yanwen tensed up. He didn't expect the Buddha to notice so quickly. The closer the finger was to the center of his brow, the more immobile the body sitting cross-legged would be.

The Buddha seemed to be angry, but he didn't seem to be. The moment his fingers approached the center of his eyebrows, Shi Yanwen felt that the hairs all over his body were about to stand on end.

But when the oppressive feeling reached its peak, it disappeared.

The slackness of the mind gave the body an excuse to be lazy, Shi Yanwen lost all strength in an instant, and touched the center of his eyebrows with trembling fingers.

"This is?"

The Buddha withdrew his hands and sighed, "Since you have a plan, you must take care of your spirit. This technique is permanent and can help you reduce the symptoms of trance."

Shi Yanwen was stunned, "Don't you want to stop me?"

The Buddha shook his head, "You hate him?"

"no!"

"..."

Suddenly startled, Shi Yanwen smiled wryly, "I just feel tired, very tired. Yanwen used to work hard on the battlefield, go through life and death, and when he was the most exhausted, he couldn't even drink water, but even at that time, I felt better than now. "

"You're forcing yourself to make a choice."

"Yes, and no." Shi Yanwen said, "I have never had a choice, just like Su Zhenzhen, he has no choice between personal love and righteousness. I chose the Nine Realms, and Su Zhenzhen doesn't have to be in a dilemma like me. , but because he is already in his own world, of course he doesn't have to worry about not taking care of it! But I can't, my children, brothers, friends, everything I have is in that world, I have to go back. "

"So you have to repay your kindness and repay your kindness, and you want to end the cause and effect."

Buddhists are equally outspoken.

The blue eyes fixed on the Buddha's whisk, and Shi Yanwen's complicated emotions were inexplicably more embarrassing, "Yanwen also knows that the method I chose...is absurd."

The Buddha is silent.

"Return the love"?

This method is more than absurd, if Shi Yanwen's reason for compromising is as he said, it is undoubtedly stabbing Feng Di with the coldest and cruelest sharp knife.

It's a pity that the knife was pierced into Xie Fengdi's chest, and Xie Fengdi might have regarded him as the approval of his true feelings.This is what Xie Fengdi believed to be "the same goal by different routes", but it was Shi Yanwen's choice to "part ways".

Xie Fengdi must have never imagined that Shi Yanwen would use such a desperate "strategy", but Shi Yanwen did use it, and it was extremely decisive!

He has always been gentle and forbearing, but once he uses tricks, it makes others tremble with fear. His heart has become more or less cold under the torture of the other world and Juhunzhuang.

——Since you are already in such a mess, let's make it even more messy.

The most refreshing way to cut through the mess with a sharp knife is to put it to death and live later.

Shifting his gaze slightly, Shi Yanwen swept the reed flute again, raised his head and said, "After all, Yanwen has nothing but herself."

He smiled, his expression full of disappointment.

Three months, Ku Banshen estimated that the time for the Lingzhu to complete is three months, so he used his real body for three months to repay the companionship of Su Zhenzhen's ten-year memory.

The Buddha's gaze was like a torch, he spoke unhurriedly, and asked him, "Have you used this reason to convince yourself?"

"..."

"'At the beginning I used wild geese as soup to satisfy my hunger, but there was love in Taoism'," the Buddha said regretfully, as if he could foresee the end in the near future, "Shi Yanwen, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and it is not too late to turn back."

This plan is successful, but hurting others and yourself is not counted, and there is no regret in this life.

The Buddha seal on the forehead turned into cinnabar and buried under the skin. Shi Yanwen tried to slap a palm into the sea, but it really didn't have any effect on the body. On the contrary, if there was a clear flow all over the body when receiving the power, the power would be better than before. well.

"Senior really just wanted to help me meditate..."

Also, monks do not lie.

But, since you don't agree with him, why should you help him?It can't be because Buddhism pays attention to "following fate", right?

Repay kindness.

This reason is indeed absurd, even if it is to repay the favor, even if it is provoked by Qin Jiaxian, Shi Yanwen would not do such a foolish thing.In fact, what he wants to do is not so complicated. He has been working hard for it for 11 years.The price in the middle is life, soul, and... body.

This time, he won't ask anyone for help, anyone.

"Yanwen."

The cold and indifferent voice broke the silence under the tumbling tide. Shi Yanwen shrank her palms, turned around slowly, and said with a smile, "Brother, Yanwen is here to disturb you again."

The Taoist stood behind him for an unknown amount of time.

"When did you come?"

"Not long ago." Shi Yanwen smiled, "However, I'm leaving soon."

The Taoist seemed a little surprised, "But come here for help with something important?"

"It's nothing important," Shi Yanwen lowered her head, rubbed her fingertips on her wrists and tightened them, and flatly denied, "It's just a whim, I just came here to have a look."

The Taoist said again, "If you have difficulties, don't hide it from me."

Can't be fooled.

When emotions are out of control, any decision may be regrettable, Shi Yanwen deeply thinks it is right now.Since he couldn't avoid it after much deliberation, Shi Yanwen could only find a random reason, "Actually, Yanwen wanted to visit Thorn Mountain, passing by the vast sky, and just came to visit my brother."

"..."

"..."

No matter how cold the Taoist's expression was, Shi Yanwen could still see the word "disbelief".

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Cough, Yanwen—"

"Have you been there?" the Taoist asked him suddenly.

Shi Yanwen said in a daze, "I'm going."

"I'll accompany you."

"This...don't bother me, right?"

"No trouble, let's go."

Thorn Mountain is located far away from Tianbo Haomiao, but for Taoist and Shi Yanwen, it only takes one day to go back and forth with lightness kung fu.However, with the stalking eyes of Taoists, this day would have been too long.

Shi Yanwen felt that he had been away for a long time, but in fact it was only an hour.

"left."

"En." Shi Yanwen turned left unconsciously.

"It's wrong."

"Huh? Ah!"

The foot that just took a step staggered suddenly, Shi Yanwen saw a protruding broken wooden stake poked in front of his eyes, he quickly turned to the side, and took a closer look, thinking that it was a woodcutter who did not know where he was chopping too much firewood. It didn't move, it was inserted straight into the ground, and it was quite interesting to pose as a human figure.

Shi Yanwen was embarrassed and wanted to laugh, but he turned too quickly, pulling the sore spots on his legs and feet, and couldn't stop his feet from going backwards.

The Taoist had sharp eyes and quick hands, and the fly whisk wrapped around Shi Yanwen's right wrist and made him stop.

"Why are you so careless?"

Shi Yanwen lowered her head, feeling really embarrassed to look at the Taoist again, but her voice was calm and calm, "Yanwen is thinking about other things."

"Other things should be thought of at other times." The Taoist took back his whisk and took Shi Yanwen's place as the guide. "Is there anything urgent to go back this way?"

"none."

"Since there is none, then go slowly."

"Yes, brother."

The Taoist turned his head slightly, and saw that Shi Yanwen was still burying his head, pinching the place where the fly whisk swept by just now, lost in thought, "It hurts?"

Shi Yanwen looked up at him, then hurriedly lowered her eyes, silently put her hands back behind her, and smiled lightly, "It doesn't hurt, it's very warm."

Calm?

If it is really calm and windy, it will be great.

The Taoist was silent for a moment, and said, "The sky is vast and the night is very cold. If you arrive in the middle of the night in the future, you can go directly to the guest room, and you don't have to wait outside."

"When the Yanwen arrives, it will be just when the Jade Rabbit ascends to a bright moon and thousands of miles away. I will be fascinated by it and forget it."

"what."

"What are you laughing at, brother?"

"It can be seen from Yanwen that the sky in January is vast, if you don't activate the formation, you won't be able to see the moon?"

"...Don't cling to the appearance, don't take it from the appearance, have the moon in your heart, whether you can see the moon or not, it makes no difference."

The Taoist follows goodness like a stream, "In this way, is there no difference in Tianbo's vastness, to Yanwen?"

Shi Yanwen's eyes moved slightly, "Brother, you don't need to provoke me, you must know that in Yanwen's heart, the vastness of the sky is naturally different from other places."

"Why did Cang provoke you?" the Taoist asked.

Shi Yanwen raised the corners of her mouth, "It must be that Yanwen broke the etiquette somewhere, annoyed my brother, made my brother angry, and it's hard to say it clearly. It's just that Yanwen is stupid and doesn't know what to say, so I will accuse him first, so I can tell him again." Brother asked for advice."

Shi Yanwen's words are pleasant to listen to, and the effect of turning off the fire to calm the mind is the best, but when you think about it carefully, in fact, apart from alleviating conflicts, it has not touched any important points.The Taoist knew his skill of avoiding the most important and neglecting the less important for a long time, and he didn't hope to get any truth from his mouth, so he just stopped and stood still.

The swirling wind from the ground whips up the whisk.

The Taoist stretched out his hand and caught a piece of golden feather, only a little longer than the little finger.Looking up, a bird with the size of a palm was sitting on a branch, tilting its head to look at him.

Thorn Mountain is still far away.

I'm afraid I won't be able to go.

Shi Yanwen tilted his head slightly, the blue-clothed scholar stopped behind him, bowed his hands to the Taoist and saluted, "See you for a long time, Xie... come and pick Yanwen back."

The Taoist didn't say a word, and he didn't look back.

The bird fluttered its wings and landed on Shi Yanwen's shoulder, pecking at a strand of intertwined black and white hair.

Shi Yanwen suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe, and his light and soothing mood was as quietly heavy as the warm wind blowing through the forest.

"What are you doing here? Where are you from..."

He opened the bird's wings and took a look. The wound was gone, and there was no blood under the wings. The brand new skin was pink, and the small eyes were as calm as they had first seen, or in other words, dead still.Looking closer, the bird doesn't look like a living thing at all, whether it's breath or eyes.

He likes this bird, even if his origin is unknown, even if the person who came is not good.

"I'm just going out for a walk..." He opened his mouth again, but he didn't know who he was addressing, his blue eyes were dark, "I'll be back soon, right away."
