Peach Blossom Song

Baima Temple, the largest temple in the world, has a magnificent mountain gate and wide stone steps.There are moss growing on several places on the outer wall of the temple, and the ivy is wrapped around it. At a glance, it is quite simple, and it can be seen that the Baima Temple has been built for a long time.

It was already dusk, the tourists in the temple had dispersed, the stone steps were cold and desolate, and there was no sound.

The king of Han thought that she had come here with the princess to see plum blossoms, so he reined in the reins.After thinking about it, he got off his horse and went to the temple.

The White Horse Temple is not only a big temple, but also located in the middle of the capital. It is unavoidable that princes and nobles often come here to offer incense.When the king of Han entered the mountain gate, he didn't say he was lonely. The little novice in front of the mountain gate still recognized her noble demeanor, and quickly ran into the temple to report.

The king of Han didn't stop him, he stepped on the steps and walked up step by step.

When she walked to the main hall, there was already an old monk waiting, it was the Master Faguang who received her when she came back last time.

Faguang also recognized the King of Han, clasped his palms together, and saluted: "The bigger the Xiao Tan is, the younger monk is far away to welcome him."

The king of Han is a polite and good boy, never arrogant and deceitful, at this time the princess is not around, she is not rude, she nodded slightly: "Excuse me, master."

On the willow shoots on the moon, incense is lingering in the temple, and candles are lit.Looking through the incense, the golden statue in the Daxiong Palace is vague and mysterious.The King of Han stared blankly for a while, and then said to Faguang, "I'm going to walk around, Master has something to do, so go and do it yourself."

Faguang didn't insist on accompanying him, he said: "So, this little monk is rude." Then he withdrew.

The King of Han stood in front of the Daxiong Hall for a while, and she felt troubled in her heart. Before the Buddha, she naturally had a wish to grant.She lit incense and prayed three times devoutly, praying that Ayao would be safe and well in this life.

After burning incense, she took two attendants and walked to the back of the temple.

There is a plum blossom forest behind the temple. At this season, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, so I can't see it.When it was dark, the temple sent people to carry lanterns to illuminate the road for the King of Han.

The king of Han was absent-minded and did not enter the forest, but stood outside the forest and watched.She was confused and dared not go home, fearing that the concubine would see what was on her mind, Fang Xinma reined in and walked carelessly, at this moment she realized that it was late, if she didn't go back home, A Yao would be worried and wanted to resign from the temple.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw an old monk coming out of the pavilion beside him.

The old monk was dressed in a cassock and had a solemn treasure appearance. He was older than Faguang, but his spirit was extremely hale and hearty.The king of Han recognized that this was the abbot here, Master Faru, so he stopped.

Master Faru, who is over a hundred years old, is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, respected by everyone in Beijing.The King of Han was a little embarrassed, but he didn't shrink back. He bent down to salute as if waiting for the Dharma, she raised her sleeves and said seriously: "You don't need to be too polite."

The next time Faru saw this Highness, the last time it was by Jun Tanyue's side, His Highness followed Jun Tanyue, and was very attached to and well-behaved. Right now, she was alone, she looked gentle and polite, but she was more assertive, so that she would not Panic.

After all, the King of Han has grown up, and she loves the princess. In front of the princess, she is like a cute and soft child, who likes to rub against her, likes to be hugged by her, likes to be touched by her, and likes to look at her with her eyes. In front of you, how can you always be childish.

In addition, she is not good at words, so when she seldom speaks, she appears more silent and steady.

Faru turned to invite: "The tea in our temple is crude, I hope His Highness will appreciate it."

The king of Han thought, Master Faru is an eminent monk, he may know things that ordinary people don't know.Then he made a gesture and said, "Please."

Tea and pastries have been placed in the pavilion, all of which are vegetarian, but exquisite in style.The King of Han sat down on the table, straightened his robes, straightened his back, looked at Faru peacefully, and said: "An eminent monk who has attained the Tao, presumably can see mysteries invisible to ordinary people."

When Faru was enlightened by Jun Tanyue when he was young, he was able to understand the Dharma and cultivate the Buddha's predestined relationship. After 80 years, he didn't see him, and he never forgot.Just now when he heard the report from Faguang, His Highness the King of Han was very preoccupied and seemed to be confused. He thought that Jun Tanyue became the concubine of the Han Dynasty, and he might have something to do with her.

Hearing what the King of Han said bluntly, Faru did not hide it: "The poor monk is superficial, and he can only see a little edge of the Dao. If you talk about mystery, you must never dare to take it."

The King of Han was silent for a while, and turned his head to look at the endless night. The black night unfolded like a curtain, and the stars in the sky were shining.

The King of Han took a deep breath and asked, "Does the eminent monk know that there is reincarnation in this world?"

Faru was stunned, then closed his eyes, and sighed a long Buddha's name: "Six paths of reincarnation naturally exist, and no one can avoid it."

As soon as the King of Han heard that no one could hide, he wanted to ask if the great monster who had cultivated Taoism for thousands of years could not hide?But when he thought of not revealing the identity of the princess, he endured it and asked: "The eminent monk is well-informed, has anyone heard that the fate of the previous life will continue in the next life?"

Faru shook his head: "The sea of ​​people is vast, more than tens of millions. This kind of fate is unheard of."

The king of Han immediately became anxious, but she was very vigilant, and tried not to show her thoughts, she only slightly pursed the corner of her lower lip, and said, "If one forgets to drink that Mengpo soup, remember the things in the previous life?"

Faru still shook his head: "The sea of ​​people is vast, where do we start? Once a person is reincarnated, the previous life has been cut off, the soul is still the original soul, and the person is a new person."

The King of Han clenched his hands tightly under his clothes, she wanted to ask what if the person who kept the memory of the previous life was quite powerful, she swallowed the words cautiously.The Buddhists are merciful, and they will subdue demons. If this eminent monk is like that wild way and has trouble with the princess, she will cause trouble for the princess.

She has asked enough questions, no more is to attract attention.Although his heart was in a mess, he still managed to calm down, and when he wanted to say goodbye, he listened to Faru and said, "If your Highness is interested, you might as well listen to an anecdote told by the poor monk."

The King of Han paused, nodded and said, "Eminent Monk, please speak."

The anecdote that Faru told was similar to what was described in the script.It is about a wealthy folk family, the head of the family is a mortal, and the wife he marries is a boa constrictor spirit who has practiced for thousands of years.The boa constrictor spirit fell in love with the owner at first sight, and they became a couple. They lived a peaceful and prosperous life and lived in harmony and love all their lives.

The boa constrictor spirit never confessed her identity to the Patriarch, and the Patriarch also thought that he married a mortal woman, and when she was dying, she held her hand and promised the next life.

Twenty years later, the head of the family was reincarnated and became a scholar. He walked to Huangquan Road, drank Mengpo soup, and could not remember the events of his previous life.But the boa constrictor spirit remembers that he is always in his heart and mind. In the past 20 years, he has traveled all over thousands of mountains and rivers, just to find him, but there are so many people, where to find him.

The hard work paid off, and the boa constrictor spirit broke through the iron shoes and finally found it for her. However, at that time, the scholar had married a wife and had children, and his family was happy.

The King of Han's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the boa constrictor?"

Faru didn't answer, but asked instead: "What do you think your highness is about the boa constrictor spirit?"

The king of Han could not answer.

The boa constrictor spirit may go to fight, and talk to the scholar about his past life, will the scholar believe it?He already has a wife and a son, his wife is virtuous, his children are intelligent and lovely, and he is good at pythons, so how could he be inclined to her just by chance.

If you don't fight, you have to give up.If the boa constrictor spirit can let go and start cultivating again, hoping that one day she can achieve the right result, that would be a good thing, but if she can't let go, she will fight, or she won't fight, and wait for another hundred years alone, and then find the reincarnation of a scholar, so life after life , how did it end?

The King of Han was in a daze, his mind was filled with the face of the princess gazing at her tenderly, and he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

"The clouds and mountains are vast, the rivers are vast, and everything in the world is subject to the cycle of cause and effect, and nothing can escape the way of heaven." Faru raised his eyes, saw the kingly aura lingering on the King of Han, his eyes were full of compassion, and sighed, "Everything is born and restrained by each other. A person who will stand forever invincible. Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

The king of Han suddenly raised his head, he knew it!

Faru smiled, with white beard and white eyebrows, he looked very kind-hearted: "The poor monk's time is approaching, and he will pass away soon. Your Highness, there is no need to be afraid."

When the King of Han walked out of the White Horse Temple, the moon was already in the sky.

The attendant stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the curfew is approaching, it is not good to walk around anymore, please return to the residence as soon as possible."

The king of Han was in a daze, unable to listen to what the attendant said, he just nodded in confusion.

The attendant brought her horse and helped her mount it.The king of Han stepped on the pedals and got on the back of his horse. Just after two steps, the king of Han suddenly fell off his horse.

The attendants were all shocked, and hurriedly got off their horses to help.

The horse is a tribute horse, domesticated by a special person in the palace, it is extremely stable, and when it started, it did not run fast, and did not fall seriously injured.

The King of Han gritted his teeth and stood up. His leg and back seemed to be scratched, and the pain was severe.This pain actually woke her up, the dazed look was swept away, and a new determination was added to her brows.

The King of Han pushed away the supporting hands of his attendants, patted the dust off his robe, mounted his horse again, and returned to his residence.

In the mansion, the princess has long been waiting.

When the king of Han returned to his residence, the princess looked at her expression and asked, "Has your highness eaten dinner?"

The King of Han shook his head: "Not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, you can't skip dinner." Wang Hao said.

King Han nodded, still not in high spirits.The maid at the side has already quietly retreated to order the cook to prepare dinner.

The King of Han sat on the couch with his head down, his back was not straight anymore, and he was extremely low. The princess made a gesture, ordering all the servants in the palace to step back, and then went to touch the King of Han's ears.

The King of Han raised his head, just in time to meet Wang Hao's concerned eyes, her eyes turned red immediately, and she pursed her lips, as if to be patient, but she couldn't hold back her tears.She thought of the boa constrictor who didn't know how to deal with herself, and thought of her searching in the world, but in the end, the person who promised to hold her hand had become the person next to her. For a moment, her heart was sore.

No matter how powerful the princess is, it doesn't mean that the King of Han actually went to the White Horse Temple. He only thought that she had been wronged in the palace, touched her ear, and said softly: "Your Majesty scolded His Highness?"

King Han shook his head.

Since the emperor did not scold His Highness, could it be that someone made things difficult for His Highness?The concubine was very concerned, so she took the veil and wiped her tears. When the king of Han thought of the boa constrictor spirit, he felt extremely sad.

What Faru said was very true, in the next life, she will not be her, how can I get married with the princess again?Could it be that the princess is going to look for her life after life like a boa constrictor spirit?

Ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even a hundred years or a thousand years, is easy to say, but how much suffering it must be to suffer day by day.

The king of Han had tears that he couldn't finish wiping away, and the concubine didn't think she was annoying, so she took her into his arms and asked softly, "Your Highness, tell me, what's the matter?"

The King of Han shook his head and looked at the princess, his red eyes gradually filled with determination.

The princess was puzzled for a moment, and the King of Han said: "A Yao, I will protect you."

The concubine was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "I certainly believe in Your Highness."
