Longevity: The Flawless Dream

On the second day of the Langji Xuanhui, the venerable venerable in a difficult situation set off to return to the Wansheng Rock, but the two outstanding disciples stayed behind.Yilian has been lingering for half a month, but he doesn't know where Yunyou has gone. It is said that he used the signature dessert - lotus seed candy to hang to a maverick and interesting friend, and they are currently in a heated relationship.Bu Lianhua stays in Fengyun Mountain, partly to reunite with old friends, and partly to take care of Yue Zuo.

Although the moon seat such as the moon shadow has a high status in Wanshengyan, he has never practiced any Buddhist method, and he has never practiced Buddhism under any eminent monk.Cang Zeng asked Yibu Lianhua curiously, only then did he know that this recluse who is as handsome as the moon is really a strange existence.

There is the West Buddhist Kingdom in a difficult situation, the people believe in Buddhism, and the whole country worships the Living Buddha of Liufa Tiangong.When a Living Buddha passed away, a new Buddha was born and was picked up by the monks who served the Buddha in the Heavenly Palace to worship.As for the family who gave birth to the reincarnated soul boy, even if they are reluctant to give up their newborn child, they still know that it is only a Buddha child born through the womb and has no relationship with their own family. monk.

However, no one expected that 20 years ago when Sitta Ta II Puwen Amitabha came to the world, there would be an extra twin brother from a compatriot.What's even more strange is that this child was born neither male nor female, his face was like a pure moon, his brows were full of spiritual light, and he was born with the appearance of Water Moon Bodhisattva.After some debate, the monks of Liufa Tiangong decided to send the accidentally born soul boy to Dingchan Heaven to be educated by Jing Liuli Bodhisattva. Unexpectedly, the parents of the soul boy insisted on refusing to hand over the child. They were helpless because they were born in the womb, but this child was their real flesh and blood, and they were unwilling to give up no matter what.This dispute lasted for more than a year, and the soul boy could already walk. One day, his parents didn't pay attention, and he walked out of the door by himself, grabbed the monk's cassock who was guarding the door and listened to him chanting sutras. At that time, he was already fast asleep in the monk's arms.Seeing that he was born to Buddha, his parents had to send him into Buddhism with tears in their eyes after many persuasion from the monks.

At first, the soul boy was educated under the seat of Jing Liuli Bodhisattva, and within two years the Bodhisattva sent him to Wanshengyan, saying that although this child is practicing the way of Bodhisattva, he does not have the same purpose as Jing Liuli, and he should find his own way.And in a difficult situation, where can you get in touch with the three thousand grand Buddha Dharma better than Wanshengyan?Seeing the soul boy's clear eyes and bright face, the venerable venerable named him "Three bodies in one month are like moon shadows".

Ru Yueying practiced the Dharma very hard. Whether it was the Jingliuli Bodhisattva or the holy venerable, that is, the teacher, he was encouraged to understand his own Dharma. Therefore, he seldom listened to the lectures of the eminent monks in Wanshengyan, and most of the time he was not in the Tibetan scriptures. Studying the scriptures in the pavilion is just sitting on the futon and thinking hard.But within three years, the black hair turned into snow.Xu Shi was born with an abnormal condition. Ru Yueying's appearance has not changed since his thirties. He has practiced Buddhism since he was a child and has a pure heart and few desires. His appearance is ten years younger than his actual age. From this point of view Going to be like a young man with a weak crown.

It's just that no matter how different he is from ordinary people, it can't cover up the fact that he doesn't have any martial arts.Living in a place other than Wanshengyan for a long time, without anyone to protect him, always makes people feel uneasy.

Bu Lianhua looked at Ruyue Ying, who was playing the flute softly in the distance, her eyes were a little dazed.Such an expression is rare on his face, although it is still holy in the eyes of others, in Cang's eyes, he is obviously distracted.

"Friend, friend?" Cang Jianbu Lianhua's face was slightly pale, he called twice, and said with concern, "My friend seems to be unwell?" After practicing to their level, they have long been invulnerable to all diseases. No birth, but this does not mean that they can really have no taboos.Such mental retardation and poor complexion, which can be seen by the naked eye, often have serious symptoms. The problem is not in the body, but in the state of mind.

Yibu Lianhua came back to her senses, and smiled gently: "It's okay, it's just that I ran into an old friend the day before yesterday, which made me suspicious."

"What kind of old friend?"

"An old friend I met when I was traveling in the past." Bu Lianhua simply mentioned it and stopped talking, just glanced at her left shoulder lightly, as if feeling endlessly perplexed.I don't know if it's an illusion, Cang only felt that for a moment, his figure seemed to be overlapped with an inexplicable black shadow, which was so dark and depressing that it was disturbing.He wanted to ask carefully, but he knew that Yibu Lianhua appeared to be gentle and compassionate, but actually possessed the nature of diamond in his heart, and he was not a person with no plans. Since he didn't intend to explain it to him in detail, he must have his own intentions in his heart, so he stopped asking.

The piece that Lian Wuxia is practicing at this time is called "Folding Willow". She has good aptitude and has been learning the piano quickly, but after all, she is still young and her limbs are short, so she can't play a piano like the Nu Cang Qin. I found another piano with a smaller size for her.After teaching the basic fingering, she chose a simple piano piece for her to practice, which was "Folding Willow".Ru Yueying liked this piece very much when she heard it for the first time, she took out a flute out of nowhere, imitating the beat and playing it.Strange to say, the tune of "Folding Willow" is gentle, no matter how you practice it, it will seem bland and tasteless, just like a painting, which is just like the shape, but the taste inside is a thousand miles away, and Ruyueying has only heard it once, but it is not The few long winds that folded willows and jade passes were played out.

"The sound of the flute of the moon seat is very beautiful. Although the technique has not reached the level of pure nature, but the artistic conception is faint and profound, which is rare in the world." Cang heard it in his ears and praised.

"All the monks on and off Wanshengyan hold the precepts of singing and dancing, and so does Jingliuli Buddhist friend of Dingchan Tian. Yue Zuo was still young when he left home. Thinking about it carefully, no one he met could teach him to learn musical instruments. , I can't figure out where he learned this move, it's really puzzling." Bu Lianhua said in a puzzled manner.

"It's common for the saints whom the destiny favors to be different from ordinary people." Cang said.

"The Seven Signs of Yunji" says that there is no teacher to teach, no qualifications to receive transmission, no end and no beginning, no meaning and no words.Vitality is obtained and changed, gods are obtained and created, heaven and earth are obtained and covered, and the sun and moon are obtained and shine.Such saints who understand destiny are destined to have great supernatural powers and great fortune.

Just as he was speaking, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the sound of the flute also silently stopped after a long coda.Ru Yueying put away the flute: "What's the matter?" Lian Wuxia raised his index finger to gesture for him to silence, and glanced lightly in one direction, two rounds of soft moonlight seemed to rise from his bright pupils.Ru Yueying followed her gaze and saw a butterfly resting on the strings, its golden wings were dotted with large and small blue dots, like pairs of autumn watery eyes.It rested quietly on the strings, its slender tentacles swaying in the wind, light and soft.

Lian Wuxia looked at the butterfly, not daring to show his breath, for fear that an accident would disturb the dream of the exquisite and beautiful life in front of him.She looked at it for a while, making sure she hadn't disturbed the butterfly, and then blinked at Ru Yueying. The usually unsmiling little girl showed a rippling childishness, and wrote with a smile on her brows and eyes: "Just fell on the On the strings, fell asleep."

But Ru Yueying frowned, seeing the little girl's unusually gentle and innocent expression, hesitated again and again, but still told the truth: "It's not asleep, it's dead."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Lian Wuxia maintained the expression of crooked eyebrows and eyes, but the bright light in his eyes suddenly went out.She digested his words with some difficulty, seemed to finally understand, and suddenly shivered like a cold war.The little girl's originally fair face lost all blood, and her brown eyes trembled slightly. Apart from a small part of sadness and loneliness, the little girl's expression was more obviously fearful, as if she saw something. most fearful thing.

died?

died.

died……

"Can't you be alive again?" Lian Wuxia asked eagerly, but saw Ru Yueying's pitiful eyes, and lightly patted her small shoulder with her white palm: "It has entered reincarnation."

It has entered reincarnation, but the reincarnated one is no longer this butterfly.Lian Wuxia thought about it, and unconsciously bit her lip so hard that blood came out of it.

Cang and Bu Lianhua in the distance came over: "What happened?" Ru Yueying was about to explain about the butterfly, but Lian Wuxia suddenly raised her head, and her little hand drew a series of gestures similar to hers at a hasty speed. For the habit of cherishing words like gold, the words are absolutely eloquent: "Xian Shou, lord, are all living beings mortal? Can't they not die?"

The death of a butterfly that met by chance, even if it is sad, may not be so profound.But this is the first time for Lian Wuxia to witness the passing of a beautiful life with his own eyes. No matter how beautiful and light it is, no matter how much charm it has added to the world, when the end comes, he still can't help it.

Butterflies are mortal, so what about people?Could she herself, and the people she knew, also die?

Lian Wuxia stared closely at Cang and Bu Lianhua, hoping that these two deeply admired elders could give them a fulfillment.Her eyes looked like a traveler dying of hunger and thirst in the desert looking at the oasis in the sky, but unfortunately, it was just a mirage, because the blue moonlight smiled windily: "That's right."

Lian Wuxia had no time to understand Cang and Yibu Lianhua's indifference and composure, and reported the last sliver of luck, and asked: "All living beings...including mother, you, ancestor, venerable, moon seat, and uncle Chi and Master Bai. Uncle, Uncle Zhe, they are all mortal?"

Cang Shenran replied: "Life is like the moon and autumn water, and death is like cicadas sloughing out of the cold forest. It has always been like this, you don't need to worry." Looking at the little girl who seemed to have suffered a fatal blow, he suddenly remembered that although By mortal standards, she has an unimaginably long life, but her mind and body are still immature.

In fact, Cang didn't have much experience in dealing with children. Although the other five strings in the six strings were his younger brothers and sisters, they all entered Xuanzong's practice first, and then became worshiped under Xuanzong's sect master after they achieved a little success. At the age of two hundred, Cang, the leader of the six strings, has completely blank experience in preschool education.

He couldn't explain to a child who was so young that he didn't understand anything, "Everything has a desire to live, it has to live, and everything has a desire to die, it has to die. Let the world be born and die, and all things will be born, and you can't get rid of the sea of ​​suffering. Birth and birth, reincarnation is endless, without end and without beginning, like a well-drawing wheel. Ordinary people in the three worlds are all addicted to this." But in this world, people are actually experiencing death every moment, falling hair, loose teeth, Parts of themselves are dying.There is even a saying that the Tao is that the first thing a person is born is howling and crying, because he was born to die, and every moment he is alive, he is approaching death.

But what is there to be sad about?The four illusory bodies inherently have life and death. This is an inevitable course of life, and one cannot be complete without one.Only a little bit of genuineness does not matter whether it comes or goes. If one can see one's nature clearly and remain silent, one can jump out of the cage of birth and death and achieve a pure and long life.

He has practiced to the point where he and Yiyi Lianhua are able to deal with many things that people in the world are obsessed with, including life and death.But obviously, although the Tao name of the little girl in front of her is "Longevity", given her age and experience, it is impossible for her to understand the principle of this pure liberation.

Lian Wuxia wanted to cry, but her eyes were clean, and there was no sign of tears. The tip of her nose was already red, and against her snowball-like face, she looked more and more like a soft and glutinous snow-white glutinous rice ball.It's a pity that it only looks soft, but the eyes are strangely stubborn and persistent: "What can we do to free all living beings from the shadow of death?"

Cang and Bu Lianhua looked at each other, and for the first time in their lives, they were speechless in front of an ignorant child.He can talk and laugh happily to countless high-achieving innate talents, and he can be calm in the face of thousands of troops, but he can't face this pair of unsullied and persistent children's eyes, and tell her this fact - there is no way at all. , can save all sentient beings in the world from the suffering of life and death.

The author has something to say: All things do not want to live, they have to live, and all things do not want to die, they have to die.Let other dusts be born and die, myriad transformations and myriad beings, unable to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, life after kalpa, endless samsara, without end and without beginning, like a well-drawing wheel.Ordinary people in the three realms are all addicted to this—from "Zhang Ziyang's Enlightenment Chapter"

The barrier of life and death is the most unbreakable inner demon in Lian Wuxia's life, which is related to her experience and character, and cannot be simply understood as fear of death.The day when she truly breaks the cage of life and death is the day when she attains the Dao.

Besides Kisaragi Kage, the character of this character should have been developing all the time. Although she appeared as a radiant beauty wearing gold, silver and jewel earrings, but according to Amakusa, when he met Kisaragi Kage, the other party was still the same. Relatively simple.So I wrote the setting that Ru Yueying kept the precepts extremely strictly in her early years and practiced closed mouth meditation.
