When I first saw the statue of the Golden Avalokitesvara, I felt very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

But this is an ancient tomb that has been sealed for more than 3000 years, and the No.13 floor of the Spirit Tower has never been opened.

How could he have seen this Guanyin?

When the others heard it, they all showed suspicious expressions.

After thinking about it innocently, she said.

"Brother, it may be because you have lived for too long, and you have seen countless Guanyin statues, so the memory is confused."

Buddhism originated in Tianzhu and flourished in China.

There are so many Guanyin temples on the land of Kyushu, all over the north and south of the river, you can see them everywhere.

My little brother has lived for at least several hundred years. I don’t know how many Guanyin statues I have seen. There is indeed a possibility of memory confusion.

Everyone unanimously agreed with Wu Xie's speculation.

After the little brother looked at the Guanyin statue again, he shook his head firmly.

"No, I remember correctly!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Guanyin statue.

"Eight characters are engraved on the back of the statue, 'Viewing the world at ease, Purdue Cihang'."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."

When everyone heard this, they were both surprised and curious, and followed the little brother to the back of the Guanyin statue.

Looking up, I saw eight large characters engraved on the back of Avalokitesvara.

Watch the world at ease, Purdue Cihang!
Everyone stayed on the spot.

The little brother is actually right, what is going on?
Shirley Yang thought for a moment, then said immediately.

"Except for the Tang Dynasty, almost every Guanyin temple has these eight characters. I think my brother must have remembered it wrong."

Viewing the world at ease refers to the realm of a Bodhisattva.

Purdue Cihang refers to the bodhisattva's heart.

In the early Tang Dynasty, because the word "Shi" in Avalokitesvara violated the name taboo of Taizong Li Shimin, the word "Shi" was removed and simplified to Avalokitesvara.

When the others heard it, they all said that maybe the little brother really remembered it wrong.

The little brother stepped forward with a complicated expression, jumped onto the Guanyin statue.

He stretched out his right index finger and placed it on the word "Du".

"Look."

Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw the three dots of water on the left side of the word "渡", the top one, which is exactly the same as the little brother's index finger!

When the fat man saw it, he immediately cried out.

"I'll go, how could it be such a coincidence!"

The little brother shook his head slightly, jumped down, looked up at the Guanyin statue, and said slowly.

"It's not a coincidence, it's my real memory!"

Wu Xie immediately realized what was going on, and asked quickly.

"Did you remember something?"

The little brother couldn't hide the excitement in his expression, and nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

When he saw the eight characters on the back of the Avalokitesvara, the memory gate was instantly opened.

The long past flooded into his mind like a flood, bringing him back to the past.

It was an unknown era, so long ago that my little brother was not sure if this memory belonged to him.

At that time, he was still an ignorant teenager, full of curiosity about all unknown things.

According to his age at the time, he should have just graduated from the Zhang family training camp with his brother and sister Zhang Haike and was traveling around.

But Zhang Haike and Zhang Haixing are not in this memory.

The little brother vaguely remembered that he lived in a deep cave.

The cave is located on the top of a big mountain, surrounded by cliffs, and there is no way down the mountain.

The cave is very large, and there is a mountain spring inside, which flows into a lake.

There are all kinds of fish and shrimp in the lake, and there are many fruit trees growing by the lake.

Fish, shrimp and wild fruits are food.

There is also a large house deep in the cave, which contains various living utensils.Everything is available.

Living with my younger brother, there is also an old man and a young girl.

The girl has been covered with a black veil all year round, only a pair of jewel-like eyes can be seen, and my brother has never seen her true face.

The girl loves to laugh and is very lively.

Every time my little brother was practicing, she would intentionally interrupt him or tell some jokes to distract him.

The little brother sometimes gets angry and catches her when he gets angry, but the girl's qinggong is very good, and she has never been caught once.

Over time, the little brother turned a blind eye to the girl.

In addition to the day-to-day practice, the girl will teach the younger brother to read and write in her spare time.

But what they read is not the serious Four Books and Five Classics, but some strange arts, Feng Shui Yin and Yang.

The little brother didn't ask why, he just studied hard like a robot and never got bored.

Once the girl was very curious and asked him: "I don't think I've seen you smile before, can you not laugh?"

The younger brother replied: "I have long forgotten."

He is like a monk who does not eat the smoke and fire of the world, forgetting the troubles of the mundane world, and forgetting the emotions and desires of normal people.

Looking back, the little brother even felt incredible to himself.

Why is an ignorant young man so old-fashioned?

It's like going through thousands of years of vicissitudes, facing anything, there is no wave in the heart.

Is it really the truth?
Maybe not.

There is still a wave of turmoil in the boy's heart.

When he is not practicing or studying, he will visit the old man at the entrance of the cave.

The old man did not know how old he was, his hair and beard were snow white, his skin was wrinkled like pine bark, but his eyes were not cloudy at all.

Every time the boy looked into the eyes of the old man, he felt like he was looking up at the starry sky!
Apart from eating and sleeping, the old man stayed at the entrance of the cave every day, doing one thing repeatedly.

He holds a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right.

ding ding dong.

Keep beating, day after day, year after year.

The old man was very serious when he was working, so serious that he forgot the whole world.

Once the young man watched for three full hours, and found that the old man's eyes had not blinked once.

The work of the elderly is very boring and simple.

Chiseling stone.

The stone was very hard, and every time he swung the hammer with all his strength, he could only carve off a piece the size of a fingernail.

When the boy saw the old man for the first time, he was very curious.

"Why are you chiseling stone?"

The old man replied: "To open the way."

In order to open up a road leading to the outside, he has been chiseling for most of his life, and he can't remember how many years it was.

The old man only remembered that when he went up the mountain, the flood that ravaged the land had just subsided, and someone cast nine big tripods, on which were carved the mountains and rivers of the world.

The old man also said that every time he cut a foot, spring and summer would alternate.

The young man looked at the foot of the old man. It was a stone road about one foot wide and three thousand feet long.

The old man has stayed on the mountain for three thousand springs, summers, autumns and winters!

But this mountain is really too big, the [-]-foot-long stone road is just the beginning, and how many springs and autumns it will take to reach the foot of the mountain.

The boy was very puzzled: "Why do you have to dig a road on the stone?"

The old man replied calmly.

"I open the way for future generations, not for myself."

The young man is still puzzled, if it is just to go down the mountain, is it a waste of time and energy to spend so much?
The old man smiled happily and said slowly.

"What I dug is the road up the mountain!"
