Heaven is like a man

It is winter at the age of year, and it snows heavily in the capital of God.

With horseshoes riding on the snow all the way, Yu Huai and Zi Yuan came to Luoyang by appointment.Luoyang City was already prosperous, but now that the three religions and nine streams gathered to participate in the martial arts conference, it was even more lively.

Looking at the white snow covering the entire road in Luoyang City, Zi Yuan hurriedly wrapped her clothes tightly again.

Then he exhaled a white breath and said, "Master, it seems that the snow in Luoyang will not stop for a while, why don't we find a place to fill our stomachs first."

It happened that Yu Huai hadn't had a drink for a few days because of the rush, so the two found a restaurant and went in.

Entering the restaurant, I saw that the first floor was already packed to the brim with people from various sects.Yu Huai looked casually and even saw many old faces who besieged Tianfang Palace back then.

Xiaoer could only lure the two of them upstairs to sit down, and said as he walked: "Please come upstairs, two guests, you are in the right place when you come here. The shop is best at cooking all kinds of authentic delicacies of Luoyang City. What do you want to order?"

Yu Huaidan said: "Xiao Er, heat us a pot of old wine, serve us a drawer of soup dumplings, a plate of simmered beef tendon, and two dishes of side dishes, just prepare a portion of undisturbed soup for sobering up."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you, just wait a moment," Xiao Er finished speaking, leaving the two of them behind and hurried to take care of other guests.

Not long after, another person entered the restaurant.The noisy crowd downstairs suddenly quieted down, and instead whispered to each other.

Only the disciples of the Beggar Clan were the loudest, yelling at everyone: "Hey, isn't this the new demon master of the Tianmo Palace? Why has he come to Luoyang? Could it be that the Tianmo Palace also wants the secret book of the Heavenly God Art? If so, you famous families How can decentness tolerate him?"

The Huashan disciple replied in a low voice: "Old beggar, don't fan the flames on the sidelines. Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big troubles. Liu Zhan, the owner of Tianxian Villa, held this martial arts conference. Can participate. If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, it is clear that he will feel sorry for Tianxian Villa."

The disciple of the beggar gang spat, his face full of disdain: "Bah, that sounded so grand, I think that bastard Liu Zhan has admitted his cowardice."

Li Qian of the Taishan School stared at Xu Yihang and felt more and more strange, so he asked Xuan Chen, the teacher of the Emei School, "Master, why do I see this kid so familiar? Do you feel that way?"

Mrs. Emei Xuanchen didn't recognize it, she just replied coldly: "There are as many brats in Jianghu as there are sands in the Ganges River, one or two will pop up every year, and they all look like they were carved out of the same mold. Maybe you misremembered."

"Really?" Li Qian rubbed his head and still couldn't remember, so he could only give up.

Ziyuan upstairs looked around after hearing the prestige, and immediately opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Master, isn't that a brat, why is he with people from the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

After Zi Yuan said this, Yu Huai paid attention to the past.I saw Xu Yihang wearing a white satin embroidered cloak standing at the door of the restaurant. After shaking off the snow on his body, he followed the three envoys of the Heavenly Demon Palace to the second floor.

Yu Huai couldn't move his gaze away, but kept looking deeply at that person.He didn't expect that after three years, he would meet Xu Yihang again in Luoyang, and he didn't expect that this guy was the rumored new master of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Compared with the past, the person in front of him is a little less childish, and his gestures are more calm.

Xu Yihang went upstairs and bumped into Yu Huai at the corner.The two suddenly looked at each other, and Xu Yihang froze in place.

The person who told himself that he would never see each other again in this life was sitting opposite him so truly at this moment.Still dressed in black clothes, his face was as sinking as water, and he couldn't detect the slightest thought at all.

And he was already in a state of confusion, just pretending to be calm.

Xiaoer nodded and walked towards Xu Yihang and his group: "What do you guys want to order?"

Xu Yihang kept looking at Yu Huai, he only raised his finger to point at the food and drink on Yu Huai's table and replied: "Just like the young master's order, give me another serving of all the dishes and drinks."

"This guy is still messing around like before," Yu Huai said calmly on the surface, but he still cursed in his heart.

Xiaoer showed embarrassment: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, it's no problem to make a copy of this dish, but all the drinks in our shop have been sold out..."

Xu Yihang intercepted Xiao Er's words and replied calmly: "Then prepare the dishes first, it doesn't matter if you have the drinks or not."

After Xu Yihang sent Xiaoer away, he opened his hem and sat down.Then he took a wine glass that was turned upside down on the table and took it in his hand, pinched the wine glass with his thumb and forefinger, exerted force on his fingertips and then swung it violently, the wine glass was spinning in the air and flew over Yu Huai's table .

Xu Yihang smiled slightly: "Master Yu, you also heard that the wine in the shop is sold out, so you don't mind if I ask you for a few drinks?"

Yu Huai rested his right hand on the edge of the wine table, intercepting and stopping the flying wine glass.The wine glass was spinning with inner strength, and when he was forced to stop, he could still feel the heat in his palm.

Yu Huai poured a glass of wine into the glass unhurriedly, and then threw it back out of thin air.The wine glass passed over the crowd and landed firmly in front of Xu Yihang, the wine in the glass dangled from side to side but not a single drop was spilled.The amount of internal force is measured, that is, neither too much nor too little.

Although Yu Huai gave Xu Yihang a drink, he didn't give him any good looks, and immediately replied bluntly: "Of course I don't mind, if Xu Shaoxia wants to drink, you can drink a few pots with me at any time."

Hearing that there was something in Yu Huai's words, Xu Yihang couldn't help feeling sad from the bottom of his heart. "Yu Huai, Yu Huai, three years have passed, and your resentment towards me really hasn't diminished at all, and you have completely disregarded the old feelings."

Xu Yihang picked up the wine glass and became more and more angry when he thought about it, a hand suddenly hooked on Hua Yin's shoulder.At the beginning, Hua Yin looked at the hand on the shoulder full of surprise, but soon realized it, and began to play along with Xu Yihang every scene.

Taking advantage of the situation, Hua Yin lay down in Xu Yihang's arms, and said charmingly: "Devil Lord, can I also have a drink for this concubine?"

Xu Yihang gave Hua Yin a cup with a smile in front of Yu Huai, and he didn't know who he was talking to, "I haven't seen much of the world before, but now that I know the size of the universe, I realize that there are only good wines and beauties in this world that can't be let down." .”

Seeing this guy handing the wine to others in front of his face, Yu Huai couldn't help but flash a trace of anger in his eyes.This anger obviously did not come from the father-killing feud between the two, but Yu Huai hastily covered it up, and Xu Yihang had no chance to notice it.

Yu Huai deliberately shifted his gaze to another place, and said coldly, "I remember that Xu Shaoxia was afraid to avoid this matter at first, but I didn't expect that he is so proficient now."

Xu Yihang didn't notice the jealousy in his words, he only felt that what Yu Huai said was completely wrong, and couldn't help but slander him. "Obviously I just avoid others. If I do these things with you Yu Huai, then I've always been very skilled."

"Master Yu, people will change, we must let go of our obsessions and look forward. Didn't you tell me all of this?"

Xu Yihang choked out his words with great concern, and originally wanted to continue talking. "You who promised to take care of me, didn't you give me an unexpected storm in the end?"

It's just that there were too many idlers waiting around, so Xu Yihang still restrained himself from swallowing these words.

What Yu Huai said three years ago, Xu Yihang can still say it verbatim, others naturally understand Xu Yihang's mind.

But Yu Huai also lit an unknown fire in his heart, burning wildly.

At this time, Xiao Er suddenly popped up inappropriately and asked: "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, do you need to add a few plates of mature vinegar to dip your two drawers of soup dumplings?"

The eyes of Yu Huai and Xu Yihang were about to eat people, and they almost refused in unison: "No need!"

Xiao Er: "..."

The atmosphere was weird, and Yu Huai finally couldn't bear it any longer and chose to get up and leave.Even Zi Yuan didn't expect the incident to happen so suddenly, she hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and followed.

After Yu Huai walked away, Hua Yin put away her charm and sat up straight, and said to Xu Yihang who was full of loneliness: "Devil Lord, why are you doing this?"

Xu Yihang didn't say a word.

He did this just to confirm the person's current intentions.But Yu Huai was extremely forbearing, Xu Yihang couldn't see the clue at all, and made himself even more uncomfortable.

Xu Yihang looked at Yu Huai's back feeling lost, and knew that what he did was really unreasonable.But thinking that his love is still as deep as the sea, and that person may have been calm for a long time, I feel very uncomfortable.

After drinking and eating, the three envoys followed Xu Yihang and left the restaurant, turned around and went to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang City.

Because Liu Zhan has not left the customs, the gate of Tianxian Villa is still closed and does not accept guests.

During the period of waiting for Liu Zhan to leave the customs, all the decent families chose to stay in the inns and restaurants in Luoyang City.Only Xu Yihang was different, he chose to live in White Horse Temple temporarily.

Snow covered green pines in Baima Temple, incense was burned like clouds, monks chanted scriptures, bells and drums in the morning and evening, it was more empty than the city of Luoyang.

Xu Yihang felt worried at night, so he came to the Three Treasures Hall in the temple alone.I saw thousands of Buddha lamps swaying in front of the hall, and the three Buddha statues were shining brightly, illuminating people's thoughts and thoughts.

In the hall, a monk sat with his head down and his eyes closed, holding a string of Buddhist beads, and was reciting scriptures.

Xu Yihang walked slowly, walked to the incense burner under the Buddha statue, lit three sticks of incense sticks, and bowed a few times with his heart in mind.

At this time, the monk suddenly asked: "It is said that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall. Why is the benefactor so deeply in the sea of ​​suffering, so that he is so preoccupied. I wonder if Huijue will have the honor to give the benefactor some guidance?"

Xu Yihang turned around, first bowed deeply to Master Huijue with clasped palms together, and then asked for advice without defense: "Master Huijue has interrupted his cultivation, and there is indeed something that I don't understand."

Huijue put his palms together in return: "Resolving doubts for others is also a practice, the donor may as well explain it clearly."

Xu Yihang asked: "Master Huijue, if everything goes against my expectations, what should I do?"

Huijue smiled slightly: "In the world, there are praise, ridicule, slander, reputation, profit, decline, suffering, and happiness, which are four obediences and four disobediences. Buddhists call them the eight winds. Since they are winds, they have no appearance or form, so we can't rely on them. Why should the benefactor care too much about what is controlled by thoughts?

I just want Guan Zizai to have a clear conscience, not to be moved by the eight winds, and to sit upright on a purple golden lotus. "

Xu Yihang seemed to understand but half understood: "I can have a clear conscience, but how can I convince others that I'm upright and magnanimous?"

If it were someone else, Huijue would make that person not have to care too much about other people's thoughts.But after seeing Xu Yihang's burning eyes at this moment, Huijue understood it in his heart.

Huijue asked, "Is that person's opinion important to the benefactor?"

Xu Yihang nodded without thinking, "It's very important."

After hearing Xu Yihang's answer, Huijue slowly put down the beads in his hand, got up and came to the Buddha statue, facing the green lantern, he picked up a glazed cup next to the incense burner.

"Does the benefactor know what is the most precious thing in this glazed cup?"

Master Huijue suddenly mentioned the glass cup, Xu Yihang was surprised, but he still replied truthfully: "Of course it is to contain some priceless gold and silver jewels, and jadeite is the most precious."

Huijue shook his head: "What the benefactor said is the preciousness of foreign objects, not the value of the glass lamp itself."

"The value of the glazed cup itself", Xu Yihang was puzzled, "Then what should it be decorated with?"

Huijue explained: "Actually, glass cups are most precious when they are empty, and only when there is nothing can they hold everything in the world.

Everyone's heart is like this glass cup. If it is full of thoughts, it can't hold anything, but loses its value. "

Xu Yihang fell into deep thought for a while, Huijue didn't want to speak clearly, so he stopped talking and just left silently, leaving Xu Yihang alone to understand carefully.

The author has something to say:

"Eight winds can't move, sit on a purple golden lotus", from Su Shi's "Dongpo Zhilin"
