Si Tian Guan

"My lord," the gray-bearded abbot sat on the low couch, closed his eyes, and didn't look at the person kneeling in front of him, but asked, "Zhou's dream is Hu Dieyu, and Hu Die's dream is Zhou Yu, can you understand, my lord? "

Liu Chongming clasped his hands together and replied reverently: "Zhuang Zhou turns into a butterfly, and the butterfly also becomes Zhuang Zhou. The two bodies are one, and they follow each other."

"Idiot." The abbot splashed water on his forehead: "If you haven't turned into a butterfly, how can you have two bodies?"

Liu Chongming kept silent, knowing that his answer was not in line with the abbot's wishes.

Although he lowered his head, he didn't take it seriously.

Although not only the abbot, but even Qu Shenzhou said that what happened in the previous life has nothing to do with him, even if they are both Liu Chongming, they are not the same person.

But he didn't agree, things may be different, but people will never change, that's why he never forgets Qu Shenzhou's real body.

The abbot ignored him, but said behind him: "Come here."

Qu Shenzhou walked forward on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "I have seen the Zen master."

When I looked up, I saw the abbot's hand stretched out in front of him, as if to ask him to excuse himself, a bright red cinnabar mole was born on the tiger's mouth.

His heart skipped a beat, and he swept away the contempt before entering the door. This hand with a cinnabar mole once showed him two doors in a desperate situation, how could he forget it?

"This side is the truth, and this side is the lie," the man looked like a teenager, curling his hair with his fingers, and asked him with a smile in front of the two doors: "Which one do you choose?"

He chose truth.

"Why?" Before he entered the door, the man asked him: "Why did you choose this side? Choose the side of lies, and you can break free from the shackles you were born with, isn't it good?"

He stayed by the door for a moment, but still pushed the door open and entered.

At that time, he was in a state of death in front of him, and he was destined to be unable to escape completely. He only hoped that he could find out more secrets for Chongming before he died, and he also had a little selfishness.

He wanted to ask Chongming one last thing when he said goodbye - have you thought about me in these years?

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, before he saw the last time, his throat was poisoned and he couldn't ask any more questions.

"It's you...it's you," Qu Chenzhou murmured a few times, then straightened up suddenly, and asked sharply, "Who are you!"

Liu Chongming was surprised for a moment, and immediately grabbed him: "Shen Zhou, don't be unreasonable to the abbot!"

Qu Chenzhou was full of fear and hope, he was already a monster, so what was this man in front of him, but this man not only knew his past and present life, but was even his only savior in the realm of nothingness.

He wanted to break free from the cocoon of the past, but he couldn't cut off the messy threads.

Half of him was thinking about Chongming crazily, and half of him was trying his best to get rid of it.

He wanted to hear Liu Chongming call his name when he was happy, and that name corroded his three souls and seven souls like a deadly poison.

He can walk through the thorns, but he can't get over the hurdle of Liu Chongming.

"Zen Master!" Qu Chenzhou shook off Liu Chongming's hand, walked over on his knees as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and held that hand: "Zen Master."

He didn't dare to say more, and he was afraid that the abbot would reveal his details in front of Chongming, so he could only clenched his hands tightly, and his voice gradually approached pleading: "Zen Master."

The abbot stroked his hair with the other hand, and asked the same question as before: "Zhou's dream is Hu Dieyu, and Hu Die's dream is Zhou Yu, do you understand?"

Qu Chenzhou was stunned for a long time, then replied softly: "He is a human, this is a butterfly, the butterfly is also me, and the human is also me."

The abbot nodded and smiled, and asked again: "How about being a human? How about being a butterfly?"

Qu Chenzhou seemed to be insanely asked. His past and present lives were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish each other. How could he know how to be a human and how to be a butterfly.

"When I was a human, I swallowed smoke and fire, and I was not greedy for flying and dancing," the abbot also nodded for him.

Liu Chongming immediately noticed something was wrong, Qu Shenzhou's answer was almost the same as his answer just now, but the abbot didn't refute it.He naturally knew of Qu Shenzhou's strange life experience, where is the abbot?

No wonder Qu Shenzhou asked "Who are you" with a look of horror just now, but what about "It's you"?

Before he could ask a question, the little novice at the side brought a tray with a jade wrench on the velvet. This was the end of Zen talk, and the two of them were invited out.

Liu Chongming hurriedly stepped forward, and repeatedly asked: "Abbot Mingcha, he has been in a trance recently, can you also give him an amulet?"

The abbot looked at him with a smile: "Isn't the prince ready for his amulet?"

Without waiting for him to speak again, the abbot stayed at the bed and went back to his room.

The monastery is a clean place, so the two of them will definitely not live together at night, and Bai Shilei is very curious about Qu Shenzhou's affairs, so he insists on crowding in the room and asking questions, and when he is sent out , the moon is in the middle of the sky.

Liu Chongming came out wearing a cloak under the moonlight, holding the things in his arms, and lingered in the courtyard of the living room for a long time, afraid of disturbing the people who were already lying down and sleeping.

But my heart is in a mess, and I am afraid of lying down and dreaming of things I shouldn't see, and I feel troubled, and I am embarrassed and doubted again and again, which is a torment for everyone.

He could understand what the abbot said.

The abbot asked him to separate reality and dreams, so that he would not be swayed by the illusory and unknown self.The abbot also asked Qu Chenzhou to distinguish between the past and the present, the past will pass, this life will be a butterfly, and there will be no turning back.

Can he do it?Can Qu Shenzhou do it?If he is willing to step back, can Qu Shenzhou... also soften up?

Seeing the moon shadow shifting under his feet, Liu Chongming gathered his cloak, mustered up his courage and knocked three times, and soon heard the answer to the door.

"coming."

A pair of feet stopped inside the threshold, stepped on cloth shoes, no socks, porcelain white ankles were slender, gathered and extended into the trousers, and straight calves were extraordinarily slender.

Liu Chongming was disturbed by those feet and his heart was even more confused, his eyes gradually moved up, and gradually calmed down while looking at each other.

This person always has such a magical power, casually causing him to stir up turmoil, and an indifferent look in his eyes taught him to be calm, the ups and downs are all in this person's every frown and smile.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"The prince hasn't slept yet?" Qu Shenzhou moved away: "The night is cold and the dew is heavy, the prince comes in and sits."

With Qu Chenzhou's current status, he can get a single room, which means that the Buddhist monastery treats all living beings as equal, but it must not be compared with Liu Chongming's residence.

Liu Chongming walked around the room, saw that the fire was dim and the room was freezing cold, so he took off his cloak and wrapped Qu Shenzhou around.

"Wear it, this is an order." Seeing that Qu Shenzhou seemed to want to break free, he scolded and sat down at the table with his hands clasped.

It's not good to take out the things directly, and ask first: "King Huai intends to save Ren Rui? Ren Rui was captured by King Qi. If King Huai came forward, he would have to face King Qi face to face. Wasn't the previous gesture for nothing? "

Qu Chenzhou sat down with his cloak folded, and even his feet were covered in the furry warmth. After a moment of trance, he gently twisted the lining that was still warm, and answered slowly.

"King Huai seldom appears in person when doing things. This is a bad thing but also a good thing. The prince can just see who he can mobilize."

"I'll keep an eye on it," Liu Chongming glanced up. His cloak is so big that it wraps around a full circle and a half. It looks thin and so thin that people want to love it. King is important?"

"Your Majesty has a family background and money, but I still suggest that your Majesty take the Jinxiu Camp into his bag," Qu Shenzhou stretched out a hand from under his cloak, and arranged two teacup utensils on the table, pointing his fingers at the third one. Spinning around: "The same goes for King Huai."

Liu Chongming's heart moved: "Prince Huai covets military power?"

"Who doesn't?" Qu Chenzhou asked him back: "The civil servants of the Tang family, King Ning is like that, even if he wants to grab it, he can't take it, but King Huai is different."

Although King Huai is not often in the army like King Qi, he is a well-known corporal who is virtuous and virtuous in the court.

"The capital city is under the emperor's feet, and the jurisdiction inside and outside the palace city is clearly divided. King Huai has no way to attack, so naturally he can only make outside ideas. Ren Rui will not be the only military power supporting King Huai."

"Ren Rui..." Liu Chongming felt a little chill, poked the stove with tongs, sparks came out, he stretched out his hand to warm, frowned and said: "Shi Lei told me, Ren Rui is Crazy."

Qu Chenzhou naturally knew, otherwise he would not have suggested Ren Rui to pursue Liu Chongming.

In the battle of Yingshan City, Ren Rui brought [-] troops to help, but the commander in front of the battle had to stay still and defend.Ren Rui endured it for a few days, then suddenly mutinied, beheaded his own commander, and stormed Yingshan City day and night.

When the city gate opened, Liu Chongming was submerged in the rebellious army and disguised to leave. Ren Rui led 5000 people to chase after him. Frustrated, he had nowhere to vent his frustration. The long-standing old department beheaded.

If Ren Rui is a lunatic, he, Qu Shenzhou, is a desperado.

"My son, the matter of Ren Rui can no longer be changed. Now my son's foothold in the court is unstable and when he can't intervene, he should stand by and watch. When he gets a seat in the Jinxiu Camp, he will stand beside the emperor and protect the imperial concubine and empress to give birth to the prince. It’s never too late to figure it out.”

"I understand." Liu Chongming rubbed his hands, watching the fire quickly dim again.

Qu Chenzhou also caught a glimpse, stood up holding the cloak, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the big things you want to do are not in a day or two, you should go back to your room to rest first, and later..."

He hadn't finished speaking when suddenly his body lightened and he was picked up by someone in the air.

Liu Chongming lifted him up, wrapped his cloak tightly, and opened the door with his shoulder: "It's cold here, go sleep in my room."

Qu Chenzhou didn't struggle, and buried his face in the snow cap, so that he couldn't see his face clearly.

The night is cool and windy, and it is naturally colder outside than in the house, but Liu Chongming is in a happy mood with a light and soft little guy in his arms, and a little bit of coolness is not a problem. Hum a tune.

"At the first watch, the drums sound, the flowers bloom in March, the cuckoos sing wildly, and the swallows fly from the small eaves, calling for the east wind every day. Change all the colors of the world, and slowly return to Moshang."

The person in his arms trembled suddenly, then slowly relaxed his body, and a very small voice echoed with him.

"Drums sound at the second watch, the painting screen is displayed leisurely, spring dreams and autumn clouds, drunk farewell to the west building, dots and walks. The red candle has no good plan, and the slanting moon is half leaning against the window."

This is a song they all know, even if they close their eyes and don't try to recall it, they can sing it well.

"The sound of the drum at the third watch, the dawn and dusk of a hundred generations, the water flowing and the flowers fading, and the north and south diverging roads, always miss the spring. The bagpipes leave the pavilion late, and you go to Xiaoxiang."

This was a rare time, and the little wild cat also hid its sharp teeth, Liu Chongming couldn't help slowing down his pace.

"The drums sound at the fourth watch, the wine in front of the bottles is cold, the railings are clapped all over, and the singing is waiting for each other. The love seems ruthless. Tomorrow is separated by mountains, and the world is boundless."

The moonlight is just right, a gift from God.

"The drums sound at the fifth watch, the bead curtains are completely wet, the mountains are covered with snow, and the clouds are condensed for thousands of miles. There are many tourists in the mountains. Drinking hard is not good, so there is no need to complain about Lishang."

After the fifth watch, the people in the song stopped wandering, reluctant to leave, and they just happened to enter the door and were still together.

Qu Chenzhou applauded lightly under the cloak: "My son has a good memory, I only heard it once, and I can remember it so well."

"I can't afford it," Liu Chongming walked quickly to the bed with a smile on his lips, and put the person inside: "I won't hide it from you, I knew this song from my mother's womb, and it's not the first time I've heard it." Heard it from you."

Qu Chenzhou poked his head out of the snow cap in astonishment.

Seeing his expression, Liu Chongming was even more surprised: "Why? Did you know? I thought you learned it from me."

"no……"

Qu Chenzhou's hands on his chest were trembling slightly, Chongming had never told him, but only in this way could it make sense, why Chongming was so inexplicably surprised at the beginning.

He suddenly felt that he might have thought something wrong.

The hexagram that I saw when I saw Chongming for the first time twice - the man destined by heaven, maybe it didn't mean that Chongming was destined to win the world.

Liu Chongming took off his outer shirt and squeezed onto the bed, and pulled off the cloak for him, seeing his hands curled up and clutching the hem, he couldn't help touching it with a smile: "Why are you shaking like this, afraid of me, or still cold? "

A piece of brocade was pulled over to cover the two of them.

"Don't worry, I will be Liu Xiahui once today, and I won't touch you," Liu Chongming raised his body, blew out the candle, and lay down with his back facing him, "Go to sleep."

The body temperature of the two people was wrapped in the blanket, and it quickly warmed up. The cold that was driven away left numb itches on the hands and feet.

Qu Chenzhou looked up at the curtain with sore eyes.

——When I was a butterfly, I lingered in the sea of ​​flowers and never fell in love with the world.

When he came out of the meditation room, he had repeatedly chewed on these words, his body had already turned into a butterfly, and he also wanted to put aside the past and the past, and face Chongming frankly, but he didn't dare.

When he was tossing and turning in the room just now, he made a bet with himself on a whim—if Chongming came to him tonight, they would still not quarrel, so he tried...to let his guard down.

And in this life, God didn't seem to give him such bad luck.

"Shen Zhou."

The person beside him suddenly turned his face away, which startled him: "Shizi..."

"That person from the past...what makes you like it?" Liu Chongming's voice was muffled with half of his face under the quilt.

Qu Chenzhou opened his mouth, many words stuck in his throat, he pondered for a long time before slowly answering: "Don't let me be lonely, don't let me suffer, don't let me wander around, don't let me have no branches to rely on."

Liu Chongming was speechless for a while, and only dropped one thing over.

"Replenishment for your birthday gift, wear it close to your body, just as a talisman, lest outsiders think you are crazy." He turned around and pulled the quilt up for Qu Chenzhou: "Go to sleep."

The thing landed on the quilt with a muffled sound, and Qu Chenzhou fumbled to hold it in his hand. It was the shape he was most familiar with, and the small jade pendant was decorated with a hollowed-out jade bell.

With his current status, he could not adorn jade at will, unless it was personally bestowed by the master.

Qu Chenzhou gently rubbed the jade pendant with his fingertips. In addition to the patterns he had touched countless times, there were also three extremely small characters engraved on the back. Even if he couldn't feel it, he could guess what it was.

——Liu, Zhong, Ming.

He smiled silently in the darkness.

The author has something to say: Abbot: MD said that Zen is exhausted, and I am better at beating these two idiots [In all my current articles, this abbot is No. It's his entourage, that's why I came to this muddy water, the real body is a black dragon, this time I wronged him 1] Don't let me be lonely, don't let me suffer, don't let me wander around, don't let me have no branches to rely on

I hope this sentence does not make everyone play. It comes from "A Woman From Time to Time". The excerpt is as follows: All my life, I long to be collected by others, properly placed, and carefully preserved.Don't be surprised, don't suffer, don't wander around, don't have branches to cling to.But that man, I know, I've always known, will never come.

【Sorry I'm out again】
