Floating World

"Abbot, then this child will trouble you."

A woman who looked plainly dressed but couldn't conceal her beauty was holding the hand of a child who looked about six or seven years old and said to the abbot in red cassock, after seeing the abbot After nodding, the woman entrusted the child to the monk.

The woman's beautiful eyes were full of tears, but the child who was holding her hand was expressionless, as if he had already seen through everything, even when his mother left, he never said a word.

The abbot gently took the child's hand and asked him, "What's your name?"

The child was slightly silent, and after a while, he said in a flat and emotionless voice, "I... don't have a surname. My name is Qingxiao."

"Qing Xiao..." the abbot looked at the back of the woman leaving, and then said, "I am the current abbot of this Shaolin Temple, and my dharma name is silent. Let me ask you, your mother sent you up the mountain to become a monk, are you really willing to become a monk? If you don't want to, you can follow your mother right now."

Hearing this, the young Qing Xiao slightly raised his lowered head and looked in the direction where his mother left.She was reluctant to leave, and she could clearly see her back, but...

There... after all, it will never be my home.

"There is nothing in the world that Qing Xiao can nostalgia for. Qing Xiao is willing to shed his hair, and this growth will accompany the Buddha."

His voice was still cold, and his seemingly over-mature appearance seemed completely inappropriate for a child of this age.

Seeing this, Wu Yin asked, "Qing Xiao, let me ask you, your mother sent you to become a monk because of poverty, can you blame her? Because of her poverty, you will have to spend the rest of your life with Qing Denggu Buddha, but unable to enjoy the pleasures of the world?"

blame?

Qing Xiao didn't nod his head, but he didn't shake his head to deny it either.

Maybe it's because the answer is that even he himself can't figure it out.

"I... don't know. But I don't think there is any happiness in the world. Besides... she sent me here to save me. If I don't come here, all that is left for me is a dead end One or two roads, it doesn’t really make any difference to me.”

Hearing the words without a sound, he sighed softly, "The world is illusory, and the origin and extinction are nothing more than a single word. Qingxiao, although you say that you have no worries about the world, but... the you now, what you embrace is not a dream. A kind of attachment?" Qing Xiao didn't understand what Wu Yin said.

He looked at Wuyin, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Abbot, I...don't understand."

He should not understand.

Wouldn't it be bad if such a young child could know these things so early?

Wuyin couldn't help laughing loudly, he smiled and then stretched out his hand to gently touch Qingxiao's head, he said, "It's okay if you don't understand now. One day...you will understand. Speaking of which, What is lacking in this attachment and non-attachment is only a tractive relationship. If you have never encountered it, I have never known whether it will be a blessing or a curse for you, but if you can meet it, we will not know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Yes. Today you have never met, so it can still be said that you have no distracting thoughts, so if you insist on shaving, I will naturally fulfill you."

After a pause, Wuyin said, "Your master, I will arrange for you later. You will temporarily live in that other house before your ordination in three days. In the past few days, you will get a little familiar with the life in the temple."

"Yes."

Qing Xiao didn't understand what Wu Yin said, but if it was something that even Wu Yin didn't know, then what's the use of bothering about it?

Therefore, Qing Xiao no longer thinks about what Wu Yin said.

Wuyin looked at the little monks on both sides, and said, "Xu Yuan, Xu Chi, you two will take Qing Xiao to live in another room first, then...arrange him to share a room with Ya Xing Mu who came today." gone."

With a decree, the two bald young monks named Xu Yuan and Xu Chi walked towards Qing Xiao from the two rows of young monks behind the abbot. They stretched out their hands straight and made a gesture of invitation towards Qing Xiao, saying, "Please come with us."

Following closely behind the two monks in yellow robes, Qing Xiao looked at the surrounding buildings, and he seemed to be able to vaguely hear the shouts and smell the burning incense.

This is where he will be staying for decades to come...

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but find it funny.

******

Niangqin Weicongliang used to be a famous oiran in a brothel, and although she was redeemed by a rich uncle later, the good times did not last long.

The rich man's wife is a jealous woman, she didn't see how well her husband treats a woman in the fireworks field so well, so she forced her family husband to marry her mother to a restaurant who would go down the mountain regularly to send firewood to their restaurant The woodcutter, who is also Qing Xiao's famous father now.

He was overjoyed to be told by the proprietress of the restaurant that he would marry his god-sister to his woodcutter, and he was even more overjoyed after seeing his mother's embarrassing appearance, and happily married her However, the woodcutter discovered the true identity of his mother shortly after they got married.

The god-sister of the proprietress of the restaurant, she is obviously a woman played by the proprietor of the restaurant, even a second-hand product that has never been called a concubine, and she was the signature oiran of a certain brothel before.He also never knew whether the child conceived in his mother's womb was his own.

When Qing Xiao was born, the woodcutter learned that Qing Xiao was not his own child by means of a blood test obtained from others, but that it belonged to the owner of the restaurant.

The woodcutter wanted to kill Qing Xiao at first, but his mother kept protecting Qing Xiao, because she was his beloved woman. Although the woodcutter would beat Qing Xiao from time to time, he But he still endured the noise for seven years, and just recently, after learning that his mother was pregnant again, the woodcutter finally couldn't bear it any longer, and he issued a final notice, saying that he would be cleared before he came back today. Xiao disappeared, if not, he would have chopped down Qing Xiao with an axe.

Just to find a way out, after worrying for three days, my mother finally decided to send Qing Xiao to Shaolin to become a monk, because she couldn't think of any other good way.

"You will live here temporarily for the next three days. You will be assigned to another room after you are shaved and recognized as a master. There is also a lay disciple who entered the temple today with you. If there is anything, we will The house where the two live is opposite this other house, you can ask us as much as you want." The young monk who didn't know whether it was Xu Yuan or Xu Chi explained to Qing Xiao, and after making sure that Qing Xiao had no more problems, the two of them went walk away slowly.

Turning back, Qing Xiao took a look at the door that seemed to be a little old, and slowly, he opened the door and at the same time the door made a "creaking" sound.

"Swish"

Qing Xiao's feet hadn't completely stepped into the house, but a cold light shot straight towards Qing Xiao.

Captured by the cold light, Qing Xiao's footsteps paused slightly, and he came back to his senses. What Qing Xiao saw was a sharp sword shining with cold light. The sharp sword was about a finger away from his face. The swordsman retracted his sword in time, maybe he had blood spattered on the spot just now.

The boy smiled slightly, and then he asked in that unruly voice, "Who are you?"

The sharp sword was put into the scabbard by the boy with a handsome face. Judging by the boy's attire, he must be from an extraordinary background.Looking at the boy's handsome appearance, it is not difficult to guess that he will become a handsome man who is so handsome that the world's women will fall in love with him in the future.

"I don't have a surname, but my first name is Qingxiao. Qingxiu is like a crane, and Xiaoxiao enjoys the world."

Although Qingxiao's mother is a woman from a brothel, her literary accomplishment is not inferior to those so-called ladies from all over the world.

Since I felt that men should not have a little ink in their stomachs, so Qing Xiao's mother would always teach Qing Xiao some poems when she was free.As for her own name, her mother answered herself in the same way afterwards.

Hearing this, the boy nodded slightly, but his unrestrained gaze made him uncomfortable, "Are you...a woman? Or a man?"

Hearing these words, Qing Xiao frowned slightly, although he felt dissatisfied in his heart, he never showed it too clearly, "If it's a girl, why would Shaolin Temple accept me and want to shave me and even stay in the same room with you?"

male?

The boy seemed unwilling to believe it, and he moved closer to Qing Xiao.

No matter how you look at it, it is the appearance of a standard beauty in the future, but this appearance was born on a boy who is about to become a bald monk?

Ya Xingmu didn't know what he should say about this ridiculous fact. He seemed a little helpless, so he threw the sword in his hand on the mattress casually, and then said frivolously, "It's really a pity for you! With a beautiful face and a beautiful face, if you are a woman, I will definitely marry a beauty like you!"

Marry yourself as a wife?

Beautiful face?

If a woman heard this kind of evaluation, she might be overjoyed, but the one who got this evaluation was a genuine man. Although Qing Xiao didn't know how to clearly express his feelings on his face, he still He blushed with anger at these words.

"You...you...you humiliated me!"

Qing Xiao, who was out of breath, couldn't control his emotions for a while, he pointed at the boy, his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Hey? Are you angry?" The boy grabbed Qing Xiao's outstretched hand with one hand, and said, "Why are you so angry? A fair lady, a gentleman is so good. When seeing beautiful things, everyone has the desire to pursue them, right? Besides, I'm also praising you."

"I've never heard anyone praise someone in this way."

Qingxiao pulled his hand out of the boy's hand angrily, and he never noticed that the scars from the beatings hidden under his clothes were actually seen by the boy under such a big movement.

Although the boy saw it, he didn't say anything, his face was still full of smiles, as if he hadn't seen anything just now.

"My surname is Ya, and my first name is Xingmu. The meaning of the name seems to be wishing me a safe life until the age of twilight. Compared with your name, it seems that my name is quite vulgar."

Ya Xingmu couldn't help staring at Qing Xiao's face. If he had to talk about it, Qing Xiao's appearance was simply eye-catching, and people couldn't look away at all.

Just looking at it like this, Ya Xingmu couldn't help feeling a little numb in his heart.

"Are you looking for me again?"

Perhaps because he felt that Ya Xingmu looked down on him from the very beginning, Qing Xiao couldn't help becoming a little wary of Ya Xingmu.

Ya Xingmu couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with this thought, he pulled Qing Xiao away, and then the two sat on the bed together, he said, "Why do you think of me so much? What I said is true. Qing Xiao Qing Xiao, You are as pure as a crane, and you are proud of the world. Although you have no surname, the meaning of the name is naturally much stronger than mine. My name is just that my parents wish me a long life, but your name is completely complete. I really hope you have a good character, and you can live as freely as the wild cranes in the clouds, can't you?"

Indeed, as Ya Xingmu said, Qing Xiao bowed his head in silence but never spoke. Although he knew that he had wronged Ya Xingmu, he couldn't say sorry.

"Then again, you are young, why did you come to this monk temple to be ordained and become a monk?"

Looking at Qingxiao's appearance, Ya Xingmu doesn't think he will be like those people who have completely given up on the world of mortals, who are disheartened and do not dare to die.

It was impossible to tell the real situation of his family, so Qing Xiao replied using the excuse his mother had given, "The family is too poor, if you don't go out, you can only sell yourself, otherwise you will starve to death, but mother is not willing Seeing that I am a slave, so I was sent here."

Would you rather let your child be a monk than someone else's servant?

This kind of thing is simply unheard of.

Could it be related to the scar on his hand?

Thinking of this, Ya Xingmu never exposed what Qing Xiao said, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling sorry for Qing Xiao's face.

Such a good appearance will be ruined by a bald head. If Qingxiao is really a woman, maybe...

Maybe?

Thinking of what was in his mind, Ya Xingmu couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Although he is young, he is also a person who cherishes flowers unexpectedly.

Ya Xingmu secretly thought in his heart.

"That's how it is."

Ya Xingmu stole a glance at Qing Xiao's indifferent and expressionless side face, and he said with a light smile.
