Chapter 317 A Thousand-Year Sigh

[This chapter is very hard to write, exquisite and serious... Ask for red tickets. At the same time, I recommend you to listen to a song while watching, um, "Fireworks are Easy to Cold"...]

After the incident of Li You, Yin Defei turned to the Buddha and lived in the Xuanwu Hall near the Guardian Tianwang Temple.

The furnishings in the Xuanwu Hall are very simple, and the corridor is surrounded by a faint Vatican fragrance. In addition to a few eunuchs guarding the gate for use, there are only three old Ni and Yinde concubines living in the big palace.

When Qin Mubai saw Yin Defei, she was sitting cross-legged on a piece of Puhei, with high hair and simply tied into a ponytail. She wore a plain black-collared gray-white robe, twisted the Buddha beads and knocked on the wooden fish, and closed her eyes to listen to Zen. An old nie, who was at least 60 years old, sat opposite her and recited the scriptures softly.

Princess Gaoyang softly told Qin Mubai that it was her mother's master, Master Shanqing. She has been a monk since she was a child and has been practicing Buddhism for at least 50 years.

After the two went in, Shanqing stopped talking about Zen, opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Mother, it's predestined."

Concubine Yin De looked back and saw Princess Gaoyang running, with a trace of kindness on her plain willow eyebrows. At the next glance, she saw Qin Mubai coming slowly, and her eyebrows couldn't help raising lightly, and her expression was slightly stagnant.

Qingshan took a look, slowly close his eyes, and chanted, "Amitabha... All sentient beings are empty and silent. They have no beginning. They come from the purity of nature."

Concubine Yinde actually looked panicked. She hurriedly turned back and bowed together and said, "Master, after all, I can't cut off the dust... Why don't you ask the master to shave off three thousand troubles for his disciples and officially admit me to Buddhism!"

Qingshan closed his eyes with his hands and smiled. He shook his head and said leisurely, "It's really like a Buddha's nature, which is not ordinary. It's troublesome and dirty. It's originally useless. How can you wash the quality with water?"

"The apprentice is ashamed..." Yin Defei lowered her eyebrows and bowed respectfully and whispered, "Buddha said that when you see the heart, you will have feelings, troubles and worries when you are persistent. If you are brave with the root of profit and straight down, and cultivate to the place where a thought is not born, it is the true face... The disciples are not puzzled, and there are many Buddha's thoughts, and the Buddha also has feelings. How can you think about it? Don't give birth?"

Smile without saying a word.

Princess Gaoyang has slowed down, gently snuggled up to Yin Defei and sat down, and said confusedly, "Mom, what are you muttering with Master Qingshan?" Why can't I understand a word?"

Yin Defei smiled and reached out to stroke Princess Gaoyang's dark and smooth bun. "Ling'er, I'm going to get married... How time flies!"

"Hey hey!" Princess Gaoyang smiled innocently, "Mother, I specially called Mu Bai with you today to eat a meal with you!"

"Is that right?" Yin Defei smiled faintly, and a candlelighted man was reflected in front of her. Hearing Qin Mubai behind her, she said, "Weir Qin Mubai, I have seen the Empress."

"There are all the lay people here, and only Master Qingshan is respected." Yin Defei did not return the salute or look back, but said so softly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, put his hands together and bent down to Qingshan and saluted: "Qin Mubai, the son of the secular family, I have met Master Qingshan."

"The benefactor is exempt from courtesy." At this time, Qing Shancai opened his eyes again, looked up and down at Qin Mubai with soft eyes, nodded slightly, and smiled deeply, "Poverny, I haven't seen such a heroic person as the benefactor for many years."

"Master's praise. Qin knows nothing about Buddhism. If there is any abruptness that disturbs the cleanliness of this place, please forgive me. Qin Mubai said.

Qingshan slightly raised his head and looked at Qin Mubai. He nodded and smiled and said, "There is no way to be born. If there is a Buddha in your heart, then the Buddha is everywhere. Why stick to the classic Zen temple? Lord Qin, your aura is at the beginning, and you have a great relationship with Buddha.

"Ah, no way?" Princess Gaoyang was confused, but she was scared by the second half of Qingshan's sentence and panicked, "Mu Bai, you won't be a monk, will you?"

"Stupid boy, don't talk nonsense!" Yin Defei smiled, "Master Qingshan just praised Mu Bai's qualifications."

"Oh, that's almost the same... hehe!" Princess Gaoyang smiled at ease.

Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile and was really speechless to Princess Gaoyang. However, although he has never had much interest in Buddhism and Taoism, he always has a trace of awe in his heart. Anyway, this is also the wisdom that countless people have accumulated for thousands of years. No matter what is outstanding and practical it is, at least it is also the accumulation of the knowledge and history of human wisdom, and there is always its uniqueness and uniqueness.

"The benefactor sat down for a while, and the poor Ni went to arrange vegetarian food." After saying that, Qingshan got up and sang Fo Nuo to say goodbye. For a moment, the other two old Ni came in to serve tea and retreated silently.

Qin Mubai sat quietly on one side of the bed and said nothing. Yin Defei sat with Princess Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang was still a little naughty as when she was a child, pillowing her thighs in her mother's arms and chatting coquettishly and softly.

The Zen room is very quiet, and the environment of the whole Xuanwu Hall is also very quiet. It is indeed a good place to live and cultivate your mind.

It seems that Yin Defei has long been integrated with such an environment. The purity, tranquility and restraintness she has cultivated for more than 20 years make her as quiet as a lotus, which is in agreement with the atmosphere around her, as if it is natural.

Since entering the room, Yin Defei has never looked at Qin Mubai once. But Qin Mubai clearly felt that her attention was always inadvertently on herself, and a wisp of light fell on him from the corners of her eyes.

"Under her plain and elegant appearance, is that heart really as quiet as water?"

Soon, Suzhai took it. In the Tang Dynasty's food culture, meat and fish are the mainstream, and all famous dishes are meat dishes or fried. Therefore, although the current food culture is dazzling and colorful, it is actually not very healthy. I'm afraid that this is also an important inducement or manifestation of Tang people taking fat as beauty.

Occasionally, I eat vegetarian food to clear my intestines and stomach. It feels quite good. Moreover, the vegetarian house in places like Huguo Tianwang Temple is obviously not as simple as cooking vegetables and radishes casually, but it is quite delicate and elegant. It is not an exaggeration to describe it in terms of color, fragrance and taste.

Qin Mubai was full. Take a sip of tea after dinner, and the fragrance of lips and teeth is very comfortable.

It's too early to finish eating. Now that you have come to the Buddhist temple, why not be a good man and a woman? Qin Mubai donated some sesame oil at the moment. Qingshan did not refuse, and collected these brass vulgar things without a trace of fireworks. She said, "There is no shortage of sesame oil in Buddhist temples. However, the Buddha never refused to accept the letter, and the sesame oil money was accepted, which was also regarded as the heart of the Lord Qin.

Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "Master Qingshan, can't you finish talking about those Buddhist scriptures to my mother every day? Why don't you tell us about it today? I'd like to know if it's fun!"

"Linger can't be unreasonable!" Yin Defei said anxiously, "Master Qingshan has profound Buddhist principles, which is not fun to tell stories."

Qingshan smiled carelessly and said, "Since Your Highness is interested, it's okay for you to tell the princess a story."

"Hee hee, OK!" Princess Gaoyang nodded excitedly, "Do you hear me, mother? The Buddha family also tells stories. What's there?"

Qin Mubai took a sip of tea and didn't say anything. He always felt that the old Ni in front of him, who was more than sixty years old, had a pair of insightful eyes. What will the story in her mouth look like?

Qin Mubai is looking forward to it.

Qing Shan's eyes were very natural and soft, and he swept over the three people in the hall and said leisurely--

"A former scholar, he fell in love with the woman he loved deeply and agreed to get married. But on that day, his wife married someone else. The scholar was so sad that he couldn't afford to get sick from now on.

"Wow!" Princess Gaoyang screamed, "That woman is too much! - Master Qingshan, how can you tell such a story! Don't you know that Mu Bai and I are about to get married?

"Pugee knows. Your Highness, don't be impatient. Qingshan smiled indifferently and continued, "The scholar's family can't cure the scholar's illness even if he asks for a famous doctor. He is very anxious. One day, a monk passed by his house and volunteered to treat the scholar. He didn't take the needle and medicine, but just took out a mirror to show the scholar.

"It's a three-life mirror, which can see a person's past and present life. An image appeared in the mirror, and a beach appeared, and a female corpse was lying on the beach. At this time, a man passed by, took a look, shook his head and walked away. Soon, another person came, took off his clothes and covered the woman. Finally, a man came, dug a pit and buried the woman's body.

"The scholar was very confused. At this time, such a scene appeared in the mirror. When the woman's bridal chamber was in full bloom, his husband lifted his cover..."

Speaking of this, Qingshan paused for a moment. Seeing that, Princess Gaoyang and Yin Defei looked at him confusedly. Qin Mubai took a cup of tea and drank slowly thoughtfully.

"Lord Qin, what do you think of?" Ask kindly.

Qin Mubai put his hands together and smiled and said, "The disciple is thinking that the female corpse and the woman are the same person in the past and present life; the scholar is probably the person who covered the female corpse in the previous life; and the woman's husband is the kind-hearted person who dug a hole and buried him."

"Ah..." Concubine Yinde and Princess Gaoyang were shocked together.

A touch of indelible surprise and appreciation flashed in Qingshan's eyes, and he nodded with a smile, "Good fate, good fate... Good, good!"

"Master Qingshan... That..." Princess Gaoyang staddled for a moment and said, "Is Mu Bai the person who buried me in my previous life?"

"I don't know, I can't say." Qingshan closed his eyes and smiled leisurely and said, "In the past and present life, fate is destroyed. Who can speak clearly? If you know the day, you know the night, and if you know the beginning, you know the end. If you don't realize it, you will know where the end is. Why does Her Royal Highness insist on her previous life?

"I don't understand..." Princess Gaoyang shook her head confusedly.

Qingshan nodded with a smile: "Then please listen to another story, Your Highness!"

"Good!"

"Once upon a time, there was a temple full of incense, which has been passed down for thousands of years. There is a spider under the eaves in front of the temple. Because of listening to the scriptures for thousands of years, it has spirituality and Buddha's enlightenment. One day, the Buddha came to this temple and asked the spider, "What is the most precious thing in the world?"

At this point, Qingshan stopped again and asked with a smile, "You three might as well answer this question. Empress Defei, please go ahead!"

Yin Defei put her hands together and made a bow, bit her lips, frowned and meditated for a moment, and said, "Sincerely, I don't make a difference. The most precious thing in the world is nothing more than what can't be obtained or lost.

Qingshan nodded and smiled, "Where's Your Highness?"

Princess Gaoyang didn't think about it: "The feelings! The most noble thing in the world is feelings - family, love, friendship!"

Qingshan still nodded and smiled and asked Qin Mubai, "Where is Lord Qin?"

Qin Mubai put down the teacup and put his hands together. He smiled and said, "This moment, including every moment of life, is the most precious."

Qingshan raised his eyebrows, and the twisting and flowing Buddha beads in his hand couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Master, which of us answers right?" Princess Gaoyang asked.

Qing smiled and did not answer, but said, "After listening to this story, you will know - after the Buddha asked the spider, the spider's answer was 'What you can't get, and what has been lost is the most precious'."

"Ah? The answer is the same as my mother?!" Princess Gaoyang was stunned.

Yin Defei was also infatuated for a moment and looked at Qingshan in consternment.

"Don't worry." Qingshan just smiled and continued, "Buddha got the spider's answer and left without saying a word. After another thousand years, the Buddha came to this temple again and still saw the spider. After a thousand years of practice, the spider Buddha nature and understanding have greatly increased. Buddha asked it the same question again, and the spider also answered that the most precious thing in the world is what can't be lost. Buddha still didn't say much. He nodded and smiled and drifted away.

All three of them held their breath and listened quietly to Qingshan telling this ancient story.

Qingshan twisted the Buddha beads and closed his eyes and said leisurely, "After another thousand years, suddenly one day, a gust of wind blew down a dewdrop and just fell on the spider. The spider suddenly felt very comfortable and happy. It feels like it's the happiest day in three thousand years. But the wind did not stop, and the dewdrop was quickly blown off, so the spider was very lost and sad. At this time, Buddha appeared and still asked him the same question. The spider thought of the dewdrop and said sadly that the most precious thing in the world was that it could not be obtained and had been lost.

"The Buddha said to it with a smile, since you are so persistent, I will let you go to the world and arrange a marriage for you. Therefore, the spider was reincarnated into the world and became the daughter of a famous family. She is beautiful, generous, famous and popular. The people who came to ask for her have broken the threshold, but she has been insisting on not getting married, waiting for a marriage arranged by the Buddha for her. Finally, one day, she met a man named Gan Lu. He is the top student in the new department, and he is talented and romantic. She believes at a glance that this is the fate of her life. Because she recognized that the champion 'Ganlu' was the drop of dew she met on the spider web a few years ago. So she found Gan Lu and made it clear to him. However, Gan Lu was very confused and thought she was ridiculous and refused her favor. A few days later, the palace ordered Gan Lu to marry a princess and betrothed her to another prince she did not know. When the spider heard the news, she couldn't figure out why the Buddha teased and abused her so much. So, she didn't eat or drink and was about to die. When the prince heard the news, he hurried to see her. Seeing that she was dying, the prince said painfully that he fell in love with her at first sight and went to ask his father for marriage. If the spider can't live, he has no desire to live! So, he was going to draw his sword and take himself..."

"Wow..." Princess Gaoyang sighed softly, "This prince is so infatuated! But the spider only has Ganlu in its heart. If it were me, it would be really embarrassing!"

Qingshan smiled and said, "Just as the prince was about to draw his sword to himself, the Buddha appeared. The spider immediately questioned the Buddha, why did he treat her like this? Buddha smiled and replied, spider, nectar is brought by the wind and taken away by the wind. He only belongs to the wind. The princess who promised to marry Ganlu, the champion, is the wind. That drop of nectar is just a passer-by in your life. Although you are full of regrets for it, it doesn't belong to you after all. The prince was a grass under the cobwebs of the Buddhist temple. He looked up to you for three thousand years and admired you for three thousand years, but you never looked down at him.

"After the Buddha's words, the spider and the prince remembered the time of 3,000 years. Buddha asks again, spider, I ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? The spider was moved to tears. She hugged the prince and said, the most precious thing in the world is not that it can't be obtained or lost, but the happiness that can be grasped now!"

The story of Qingshan is over. The room is quiet.

Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned red, but she didn't cry or cry. She just held her mother's hand tightly and bit her lips.

Qin Mubai gently locked his eyebrows and carried the cup of tea. Looking at the thin trace of tea floating on the tea surface, he thought to his heart: Although Buddhism and Taoism are a little ethereal, there are many famous sayings. This story is wonderful. Indeed, the most cherished thing in the world is everything around you at present. I don't feel it when I have it, but I can't regret it until I lose it. This is probably a common human problem...

At this time, Qin Mubai vaguely felt that a strange look fell on his face gently and unexpectedly. Almost instinctively, he raised his eyelids and looked at the opposite side without thinking about it, just in the eyes of Yin Defei.

The four eyes are facing each other and separating quickly.

At a glance, Qin Mubai didn't understand the meaning in her eyes for a moment.

"Three thousand years of look up and admiration, you have never looked down at him..."

......

"All three are predestined Buddhas." The kind voice broke the tranquility of the scene, and it was still not in a hurry. He said relaxedly, "Mother and daughter are the same obsession with love. The most precious thing in the world is indeed emotion. If people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Buddha is also affectionate and has compassion for all sentient beings. However, the Empress Defei, Your Highness, the most precious thing in the world is not that you can't get it or have lost it, but the happiness that can be grasped at the present. As Lord Qin said, at this moment, every moment of life is beautiful and worth cherishing.

"Thank you, Master."

The three people, coincidentally put their hands together and bent down.

Worship piety.

"Defei, Lao Ni still has one last story, just to tell you. But if Her Royal Highness and Lord Qin are interested, you might as well listen to it. Qingshan said.

"Thank you, Master." The three of them worshiped again, and neither Qin Mubai nor Princess Gaoyang meant to leave.

"Once upon a time, there was a peerless woman. She was arrogant and arrogant. She ignored ordinary suitors and only pursued her ideal husband. One day, she happened to see a man in the vast sea of people. She was so moved that she decided that the man was the marriage in her life. However, the man flashed away, and she could never find him again. So, she went to ask for Buddha. She moved the Buddha with her piety and persistence, so the Buddha appeared and asked her, do you want to see that man again? The woman answered yes. Buddha said, you have to practice for 500 years and suffer from the wind and sun for 500 years before you can see him again. Would you like it? The woman replied, "I do."

"So, Buddha turned her into a stone and lay in the barren mountains. After 499 years of wind and sun, she didn't see anyone. In the fifth century, several masons came and chiseled her into stone strips in the mountains to build bridges. Finally, she waited for the man to walk over the bridge. But the man didn't know that he incarnated as a stone and left with a quick glance. The woman was unwilling and said to the Buddha, "I would like to be blown by the wind for another 500 years, just to let me touch his skin." Buddha agreed. The Buddha turned her into a tree and grew up alone for 500 years. It was a cool day. The man came to the tree and lay down in the shade to rest for a moment when he was sleepy and tired. The woman cried with joy and pulled the branches into the shade of the trees to shield him from the scorching sun. The man woke up after sleeping under the tree, touched the tree trunk gratefully, and left.

Princess Gaoyang's eyes were red and she sobbed in a low voice: "That man is so affectionate..."

Qingshan just smiled and continued to say, "When the man disappeared, the Buddha appeared. He asked the woman, if you still want to be a husband and wife with him for a lifetime, then you have to continue to practice. The woman smiled and shook her head with relief. She said that although I wanted to, she didn't need it. In this way, I am very satisfied and love him. I don't have to have him as his wife. Buddha nodded happily and smiled and said that he and his current wife had been exposed to the wind and sun for 3,000 years in order to be able to get married for a lifetime.

Princess Gaoyang suddenly burst into tears. She got up and walked to Qin Mubai. She squatted down and hugged him tightly: "Mubai, we haven't been together for three thousand years!"

"Amitabha Buddha... It is clear that there is no life or death, and it keeps coming and going. Right and wrong is like yesterday's dream. It's really true and fast. Qingshan closed his eyes, smiled with his hands together, and said, "The real end of this story is that the Buddha said that in order to see him, you touch him once, and you are blown by the sun for five hundred years. In fact, another person has been practicing hard for 2,000 years in order to see you touch you once and once. Now... he can probably suffer less than a thousand years."

Yin Defei closed her eyes and her lips trembled slightly. She bent down and nodded with her head: "Master, my disciple knows the mistake. The disciple knows what to do..."

"Amitabha..." Qingshan took a long breath, nodded and smiled, "Where can I get a mountain and a water?" Every word is always made up to Yi; it's all faults, and the coldness and warmth are always known to themselves. Empress Defei, you can't avoid your deep roots. Why are you far-fetched? Rakuten knows fate, no joy and no worries, wonderful nature, its joy is hard to describe. Lao Ni will give you a sentence he said to Lord Qin Shi. If there is a Buddha in his heart, then the Buddha is everywhere. Why stick to the classic Zen temple? - You, go!"

Princess Gaoyang was shocked: "Master, where did you let my mother go?"

"Where do you come from and where do you go?" Qingshan closed his eyes and smiled, and said, "Amitabha..."

Yin Defei nodded her head and kowtowed a few times. She got up, looked at the towering Buddha above her head with a long distance, and said leisurely, "Gao Yang, accompany my mother to see you... Father!"

Qin Mubai drank the last sip of tea, put down the teacup and got up.

Now, he can only see the back of Yin Defei, but he seems to see a sigh that has traveled through thousands of years... After all, she has to go back to protect the man who looks up to her for three thousand years and can't get it in order to have a relationship with her husband and wife for two thousand years... And I may have been in my previous life. She put a coat on her body and turned into a dew beside her. It's destined to be just a passer-by in her life.

A passer-by...
