At the end of breaking "straight" you will need to be cautious

The monk, whose name is Yuan Ni, has lived in temples since he was young, knocking on wooden fish, and reading scriptures. Sometimes he saw children from other people's homes accompanied by their parents, so he asked the master where he came from.

The master said it was a gift from the Lord Buddha.

Yuan Ni believed it was true, devoted himself to the Buddha, and became a high-ranking monk at a young age.

Until the winter of that year, when the sky was cold and the snow kept falling, Yuan Ni's love disaster rushed in with a snowstorm.

It was also snowing heavily that day, just as he was cleaning the courtyard, he stood in the wind and snow and kept waving his broom when he suddenly heard the sound of tiny footsteps.

Yuan Ni looked back and saw a woman in Tsing Yi entered the monastery at some point. She hid behind a tree and looked at him timidly.

Seeing her thin clothes and pale face, he frowned subconsciously, and asked in accordance with the usual procedure, "Why is the benefactor here?"

The woman in Tsing Yi asked cautiously and tentatively: "Master, can you recite a passage for me? Just a short passage..."

The woman in Tsing Yi is exactly Bai Qianyun who fled from the Bai Mansion. Today, someone offered a gift to the mansion. She escaped while the guard was not paying attention. It has been said that the monks in the temple are amazing, as long as you listen to them read a scripture, all sad things will go away.

Yuan Ni saw that she was exhaling cold air, the hand holding the tree trunk trembled slightly, nodded, and said: "The benefactor will come with the poor monk."

As he spoke, he went to the side to pick up some wood, and then led Bai Qianyun to his own small room behind the main hall.

Bai Qianyun was very curious along the way, and couldn't help but look a few more times before walking in with Yuan Ni. Although the room was not big, the items were neatly placed, looking orderly, Bai Qianyun was inhaled. Sniffing, smelling a faint scent of incense.

At this time, Yuan Ni had already lit the fire, so he took out two futons, handed one to Bai Qianyun, and sat cross-legged on it first.Seeing this, Bai Qianyun followed his example and sat down.

"I don't know what's bothering the benefactor recently?" Yuan Ni asked.

Bai Qianyun thought for a while, then lowered her head and said, "Master, to be honest, today..."

She hesitated a little, looked at the light reflected by the joyful flames, exhaled, and opened her heart, "Today is the first time I have seen the outside world."

After Bai Qianyun finished speaking, he took a sneak look at Yuan Ni, and seeing him sitting there, his expression unchanged, as if he was waiting for the next sentence, Bai Qianyun organized the words in his mind, and then said with a heavy head: "Since I was a child, my father forced me to Do a lot of things that I don't like, besides piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have to embroider a lot of beautiful things. He doesn't let me talk to others, doesn't allow me to go out, and even controls my emotions. You are not allowed to have too many emotions, sometimes... I frown, and he will be caught and locked in a very dark small room for a long time..."

As Bai Qianyun spoke, she stretched out her hand and looked it over and over again, as if remembering the place where she couldn't see her fingers, her body couldn't help shaking...

She took two breaths before she calmed down, gritted her teeth and continued, "I always thought that the things I did were what an ordinary woman should do, but later I found out that ordinary women are not like me! They are proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, but they don’t have to be locked up in the mansion all day! They can go shopping and swim in the lake! They can write poems and words with their friends! They can laugh when they are happy, cry when they are sad, and do a lot of me Things that can't be done..."

Bai Qianyun raised her head. Apart from hatred, there was more confusion in her eyes. Looking at Yuan Ni in front of her, her nose was sore and tears welled up, "Master...do you know...I...I also want to see the outside world, I also need friends...I really want to cry too...I...I...I have never seen such a long street...I have never seen such... endless snow like today..."

She couldn't help covering her face and weeping as she spoke, but she remembered that her father would lock her up every time she cried, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, "Master...I...what should I do to escape That cage..."

Unexpectedly, today's tears will wipe more and more...

Hearing her crying after she couldn't hold back anymore, Yuan Ni couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was not like this, controlling joy and sorrow, just like the heavy snow outside, not allowing any excessive color.

He has been pointing out the mazes for others, only then did he realize that he never seems to have thought about what the outside world looks like with the eyes of ordinary people...

Yuan Ni's eyes couldn't help being a little complicated, so he picked up the wooden fish beside him and knocked on it.

Hearing the sound of the wooden fish, Bai Qianyun froze when she wiped her tears. She raised her eyes to see Yuan Ni's eyes were closed, and she was spinning a prayer bead in her left hand, so she couldn't help closing her eyes.

The sound of the wooden fish in his ear seemed to be coming and going, and Bai Qianyun's mood gradually stabilized. Only then did Yuan Ni slowly read the scripture "Ruyi Treasure Wheel King Dharani", "There is no Buddha in the south, there is no Buddha in the south. No Dharma…”

Following Yuan Ni's deep voice, Bai Qianyun seemed to lift her feet out of the temple, only to hear a bird singing, Bai Qianyun looked around, and at some point she was standing by the stream, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, full of prosperity and spring.

Bai Qianyun couldn't help turning around happily, her sweet laughter startled the bird in the tree, the bird tilted its head to look at her and spread its wings, she then looked up, the bird plunged headlong into the clouds, gone forever.Bai Qianyun's world was spinning, and finally fell on the lawn. The grass was clinging to her palm, moving gently, as if greeting her.When Bai Qianyun heard the stream, she tilted her head and looked at it. It took a long time for her to recover, and she sat down beside the stream. She saw the stream surging under her feet, and the fish in the water were swimming freely. She couldn't help sticking out her fingers, as if she could touch its smoothness of fish scales.

The smile on Bai Qianyun's face reflected in the stream is so beautiful...

Yuan Ni spat out the last word in the scripture, knocked on the wooden fish three times, and then stopped. He raised his eyes and saw the smile on Bai Qianyun's face that hadn't faded away. His heart beat fiercely, and he suddenly realized that In the vastness of snow outside the door, there seems to be a touch of green.

"Thank you master." Bai Qianyun had woken up from her fantasy, she saluted Yuan Ni and left contentedly.

Yuan Ni got up and followed her secretly, watching her sneezed and disappeared into the vast snow, couldn't help but gather up her clothes.

Lost that touch of blueness... The world will eventually return to a snow-white...

Yuan Ni went back to the temple, put out the fire, and continued to stand in the courtyard to sweep the snow, but his heart couldn't calm down no matter what.

In the next few days, Bai Qianyun did not come again. Yuan Ni thought it was just a meeting, and there would be no intersection in the future. Unexpectedly, within half a month, Bai Qianyun came again. This time she looked more cheerful than last time Quite a few, when I saw Yuan Ni, he stepped forward happily and said: "Master, thank you. After listening to your scriptures that day, I mustered up the courage to tell my father what I thought. My father did not blame me, but agreed with me. Come out later."

What Bai Qianyun didn't say was that the premise of coming out was that she had to be with a man, and she could play freely after the man said something to do, but Bai Qianyun was very satisfied, after all, it was much better now than before.

After hearing this, Yuan Ni couldn't help being happy for her, so he put his palms together and said, "Amitabha."

In the next half a year, as soon as Bai Qianyun came out of the White Mansion, he would come over and pester Yuan Ni to chant scriptures for him. Every time he came, he would bring a painting or a kit to repay him for his kindness in chanting scriptures.

Yuan Ni looked at her paintings in the evening, as if she was possessed by a demon, and when she closed her eyes, it was full of Bai Qianyun's frowns and smiles...

Yuan Ni realized that he might have moved his heart, so he didn't dare to go out of the room again. He knocked on the wooden fish for three days and three nights in the room, and read the scriptures for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, I just felt better. I went to the yard to fetch a bucket of water and met Bai Qianyun. I didn't see her for a few days. She was in a bad state of mind and lost a lot of weight.

Yuan Ni thought that he could let go of all his feelings, but when he saw her, all his self-confidence was shattered.

Bai Qianyun looked at the face that she had been thinking about day and night, and held back her tears and said, "Master, maybe this is the last time you and I will see each other."

Yuan Ni was a little flustered, knowing that he shouldn't express it, so he watched her say nothing. After a long time, she smiled and said, "Master, the Paradise of Elysium you mentioned... I will probably see it soon."

Yuan Ni's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words, and when she turned around to leave, she grabbed her arm for the first time and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qianyun didn't dare to look back, and cried, "Master, you said that people's hearts are greedy... I thought I was different from the world, but in the past few days, I have changed... I wanted to come here to listen to the scriptures and see you." , I am satisfied...I thought about it at home for three whole days before I realized...I want more than that..."

What should be said and what should not be said has already been said. Bai Qianyun is not afraid anymore, so she holds his hand and looks back, "Yuan Ni, I... like you."

The monk said that he took a deep breath at this point, "I...was controlled by selfish desires at that time, and I betrayed the Buddha. I promised her that I would stay with her for the rest of my life. As long as she is ready, I will take her to the ends of the world."

After that day, the monk was out of his mind, waiting for her day after day, fidgeting under the Buddha statue all day long, and finally got the news that she was getting married.

The monk didn't believe it, so he climbed over the wall and entered the White Mansion in the middle of the night to ask her why.

She cried and said that she was wrong and should not play with his feelings.Only then did she talk about the man who left the house with her. She said that when she was getting ready to leave that day, she suddenly realized that the one she really liked might not be him.

Hearing this, the monk lost his mind and was speechless to stay in the temple, so he found a place that could shelter from the wind and hid, and decided to hang himself wearing a cassock on the day of Bai Qianyun's marriage to make atonement to the Lord Buddha.
