The tenth bowl of soup (9)
"Little donor?"
After calling, there was no response for a long time, and there was no sound of water. Xuan Ji suddenly opened his eyes and looked back, only to see the tranquility on the sparkling lake, where is there any figure of Qinghuan? He was startled, ran over a few steps, looked around, and before he could save people, the surface of the water was suddenly broken, and a very thin silk thread that shone dazzlingly in the moonlight struck, wrapping around his wrist. , pulling him to the bottom of the lake.
Xuanji's internal strength was sealed, only the strength of ordinary people, how could he hold this, he suddenly jumped down, causing a big wave, and then the whole person quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.
He saw Qinghuan.
She had bare jade-like arms and legs, wearing only simple underwear, the jet-black silk fluttered in the water, and the moonlight seemed to shine from the lake to the bottom of the lake, so clear, Xuan Ji's heart beat suddenly .
She grabbed his hand, and Xuanji seemed to have forgotten the defense between men and women. He didn't know how he opened his eyes and how to breathe in the water. He only knew that the moment he was held by her, the ancient well-like heart was like being boiled. wide open. Qing Huan pointed forward and motioned for him to look.
Xuan Ji followed the line of sight of her fingers, where the fish were in groups, the water and grass were colorful, and the moonlight seemed to turn into a little elves, blending with the crystal clear lake water. This is a beautiful world, every grass and stone, every drop of water is a big world. Xuanji had never been to the bottom of the water before, so she didn't know that underwater could be so beautiful. Such a peaceful and peaceful yet full of vitality beauty, he was greatly shocked.
Qing Huan knew Xuan Ji's Buddha-nature and Buddha-mind. As long as he was given enough conditions, he would naturally be able to enlighten and improve his realm.
She turned over in the water, as dexterous as a mermaid, Xuan Ji looked at it stupidly, animals never think about other things, they live to survive, live with integrity, die with integrity, and pursue everything with integrity. In this piece of water, she seems to be born with the heaven and the earth.
don't know how long he stayed at the bottom of the lake. When Xuan Ji was pushed out of the lake, the sackcloth on his body was wetly attached to his body, but his handsome face looked so distant and solemn in the moonlight, with picturesque features.
Qinghuan emerged from the water, her long hair flung beautiful arcs and pearl-like water droplets, she looked at the eminent monk's expression, the eminent monk who did not enter the world and did not understand love, and the eminent monk whose heart was like an ancient well, who only wanted to save the common people, was actually there. Sitting cross-legged on the shore, hands clasped together, he sang a Buddha name, Amitabha.
Qing Huan grabbed her clothes and put it on, she still had a string of crisp bells tied to her feet, and the sound was beautiful as she walked. She walked up to the eminent monk with bare feet, bent down, and called out, "Monk."
Xuan Ji closed his eyes slightly, it was very strange, even though he was wearing rags and linen, even though he was in a state of embarrassment, his brows were still full of compassion. Qing Huan looked at him for a while, and felt bored, turned and walked towards the bamboo building, but at this moment, Xuan Ji said softly behind him: "I like you."
Not a poor monk, not a small donor, but me and you.
Qing Huan originally just wanted him not to be so tense, so he pulled him into the water, but he didn't want him to realize the Tao... but realized the way of men and women?
Under the bright moonlight, the little girl didn't look back, and Xuan Ji didn't care whether she looked back and whether she responded to this feeling. He only seeks to be worthy of his heart and worthy of the Buddha. "If I hear this, my mind is like Bodhi, and I can only get dust. I have realized the Tao, and I have a clear conscience."
"Even if you like me? A demon girl?" Qing Huan turned around and tilted her head to look at him. The eminent monk looked extraordinarily solemn and solemn under the moonlight, and even his confession felt like he was practising Zen.
"Before Master passed away, he once said that I have experienced the world and seen the sufferings of the world, so that I can save all sentient beings and achieve a positive result. However, I always resist the love between men and women. Be it Haitang or Bai Yue, I have no love for them, no worries, no love for them. Don't worry, I thought this was my life, but I didn't expect you to be my way."
This person... Qing Huan seemed to have seen the Buddha's light that appeared on the other side. So frank, so idealistic, so devout, a born monk. "What if I don't like you?"
"I have no regrets." Since he has fallen in love, it is his business. If there is no love in your heart, how can you love someone? Xuan Ji couldn't fully explain what he had just gained underwater, but the moment he surfaced, he really understood that he had to face his heart, and face and accept it calmly.
To tell the truth, Qing Huan has lived until now, even if it does not count the time that cannot be measured by numbers at the bottom of the Wangchuan River, she is still very old. There are countless men who love her. She has experienced countless loves, and in every world, She has also devoted her loyalty, and she has seen all kinds of confessions.
He likes you, it doesn't matter whether you like him or not, he doesn't ask for anything in return, he seeks the Tao all his life, and you are his Tao.
Ordinary monks find themselves tempted, either refuse to admit it, or repress hard, but Xuanji tells it frankly, no matter whether the other party accepts it or not, he takes it calmly, maybe this is his Buddha nature compared to everyone else reason for the high.
Qing Huan suddenly became teased. Have you ever seen someone confess to you that they like you, but look indifferent as if they were talking about the weather today? She threw away the clothes in her hand, still wearing only the salacious clothes, and approaching Xuan Ji with her long hair scattered.
think that Xuan Ji has not encountered seduction too often, at least the female ghost Haitang has done it. However, in front of Xuan Ji, a beautiful woman with all her beauty and beauty was not much different from a small grass or a stone at hand. All things are spirits, and he did not only value human beings, nor did he despise all things in this world. Like a mountain, standing still.
She squatted beside her like a child, touched his bare head, the ring scar on the top was quite uneven, Qing Huan lightly pointed with her finger and asked, "Then if I like you too, will you be vulgar for me? Marry me as your wife, and be together forever? Are you not a monk? Aren't you saving sentient beings?"
"I still want to save all sentient beings, but I also like you." Xuan Ji spit out these words, and then stopped talking. He closed his eyes and concentrated on meditating. The clothes on his body were wet, and he didn't think it was too cumbersome.
Indifferent and firm, Qing Huan couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. She stood up and walked towards the bamboo tower. She has long lost her love for human beings. She loves everything in this world, but she can't love anymore. on anyone. She has experienced so many worlds, she has accompanied so many people throughout her life, but she has never fallen in love with any of them again.
Love, she has been unable to find.
But Xuanji. Qing Huan turned back and took another look. Under the moonlight, the tall and gentle monk folded his hands together and recited the scriptures devoutly.
Whether it is Buddha or Tao, Qinghuan doesn't believe it, she only believes in herself, she doesn't even care about the way of heaven, she is not the Mahayana and Theravada in the three thousand worlds, immortals, Buddhas, devils, demons and corpses. She seems to be alive but not alive, she seems to be dead, she is neither a fairy nor a monster, heaven can't control her, she escapes from the six realms. She is the most unique one between heaven and earth, in a corner that heaven and earth have never noticed, she has become the Qinghuan she is today.
It is immortal, immortal, immortal, and immortal.
But what is she missing?
Why can love every flower and every grass in this world, but only refuse to love human beings? Why has countless hours passed and she still doesn't like people? She clearly has seen gentle and kind people, but why is she still full of disappointment in her heart?
This time, Qing Huan knew that it was not demons, but confusion.
It was Xuanji that confused her.
When she came out from the bottom of Wangchuan River, heaven and earth contended, she endured hardships, suffered sins, and persevered. As Xuanji said, she has never had a clear conscience.
Her heart has grown back and is beating, but only through the ghost's heart can she feel joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Once related to "people", she erected high walls. She looked down at these people condescendingly, and why.
She was also loved wholeheartedly.
This night, Qing Huan did not sleep, and Xuan Ji did not sleep. The next morning, Qing Huanlai lay on the bed and refused to move. She thought about it all night. She never thought that she had reached this level, and there were still things she couldn't see through. The thought that it was all the stupid monk's fault made her unhappy. Yi Gulu got up and stepped on the crisp bell with bare feet to find Xuan Ji. If she was uncomfortable, he wouldn't think about it.
What's wrong with love, she doesn't want to, and think about it like she did before, she will live the present well first, find some fun for herself, and one day she will understand.
One day she will understand, she will understand.
Xuan Ji had already made breakfast, and when she saw her coming, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Morning."
"It's early, it's still early." Qing Huan grunted, the man's eyes were very gentle and peaceful, she relaxed to feel it, and her ears were actually hot. Ah... this kind of heart-warming feeling, but I feel it with the heart of others.
Xuan Ji heard her muttering, thought she was childish, and smiled slightly. Qing Huan caught sight of him smiling, and immediately became annoyed: "You laugh at me!"
declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences. Before Xuan Ji could answer, she patted him! Then he showed a smug smile: "Did you see your little green plum at the martial arts conference that day?"
Xuan Ji took a while to realize who Xiao Qingmei was: "You mean Master Bai Yue?"
"Now that you know it's called Shitai?" Qing Huan hummed. "Didn't you see she's getting fat?"
...he really didn't notice.
"I put Gu on them. This Gu is not harmful to the body, but it will make people appetite, especially want to eat meat." Qing Huan deliberately shook his finger in front of Xuan Ji. "I see that the kind-hearted old Ni is older than you, and she has been a monk for so many years, but she can't hold it back. I want to see if you can't stand it."
Hearing this, Xuan Ji understood and took a seat calmly: "You didn't say that you wanted me to be your test product, and you want to use me to test it, right? You're happy."
What makes her happy is fine, if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be bothered to care about him!
