good friend?Boy friend!

The monk stood in front of Hua Jinyun as if motionless. Hua Jinyun wondered where he had seen him before. After a while, he remembered that the monk in front of him was the one he had seen in the town a few years ago. The old monk I met in the snowy season!At that time, the old monk was dressed in rags and was foolish, but now, his appearance and spirit are different from those of the past.

Hua Jinyun said: "Master, why are you here?"

The old monk said: "I will come when I should come."

Hua Jinyun said: "Master, do you know why Xingbu died?"

The old monk said, "I know."

Hua Jinyun said: "Great, can the master tell me who killed Xingbu?"

The old monk said, "So what if we know?"

Hua Jinyun said: "They are really too much! Such a good person Xingbu died tragically, it is really unfair! I want to find the person who killed him and avenge Xingbu!"

The old monk said: "Almsgiver, God has the virtue of loving life, why are you so obsessed with revenge?"

Hua Jinyun said: "Xingbu shouldn't die, he is a good man, the people who killed him are heinous, I want them to pay for Xingbu's life."

The old monk said: "If you kill them, can you avenge the people you care about?"

Hua Jinyun said firmly: "Yes."

The old monk said again: "Then if you kill them, will the star step benefactor come back?"

Hua Jinyun said, "Of course...Of course not."

The old monk said: "Then why are you obsessed with revenge? Since revenge can't bring back the star-step benefactor, why do you do this? Killing and killing, more and more people will die, and more and more people will suffer. The more you do, the more serious your sins will be, benefactor, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, you will be right when you turn around."

Hua Jinyun said: "Master, is this the way to go? Xingbu is a good person, he shouldn't die, how can a good person die, and the murderer can get away with it?"

The old monk said: "The person who is killed is not necessarily good. And the person who kills is not necessarily evil. There is a definite number of life and death for a person. When he goes, he goes, and when he stays, he stays. What can the world do?"

Hua Jinyun was puzzled by the old monk's words. Hua Jinyun had no time to think about other things at the moment. He just wanted the old monk to tell him who killed Xingbu. The old monk said: "Amitabha. It's nothing more than attachment to him, and I can't bear him to leave, no matter, no matter, if this is the case, I will let the benefactor see all this clearly!"

The old monk raised his sleeve, and a ray of light flashed in front of Hua Jinyun. The light condensed into a light ball. Through the light ball, Hua Jinyun saw how Xingbu was killed. He asked the old monk why those officers and soldiers wanted to kill Xingbu. Step by step, the old monk showed Hua Jinyun about Xingbu rescuing an injured uncle.This uncle is the most wanted criminal of the court. He sneaked into the palace and failed to assassinate the emperor, so he was wanted. During the fight with the officers and soldiers, he was seriously injured and fled to Qiyue Mountain. Because of his injuries, he was exhausted and fainted In the mountains, when Xingbu was going down the mountain, Xingbu found him, took him home, and healed his wound with July flowers.After knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Hua Jinyun's heart ached even more. He said painfully: "Why did Xingbu save that person? If he didn't save that person, wouldn't everything be fine? Xingbu...Why is Xingbu so stupid? Are good things done casually?"

The old monk said: "No, no. Even if the benefactor of Xingbu doesn't save that person, he will suffer from this disaster."

Hua Jinyun said: "Why? That man is a wanted criminal by the court, but Xingbu is not. Why did they kill Xingbu?"

The old monk said: "The officers and soldiers killed the star-step benefactor not because he was a wanted criminal by the court, but for other reasons."

Hua Jinyun said, "Why?"

The old monk said, "Look at it clearly."

The old monk asked Hua Jinyun to watch the scene of Xingbu being killed again. His heart ached again, but at the same time, he also understood something. In the picture, the officers and soldiers took away a book of Xingbu In order to fight for the book, Xingbu angered the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers killed him in a rage.

Hua Jinyun said: "What book is that? Xingbu must grab it?"

The old monk said: "The book is very important to him. He would rather lose his life than lose that book. It's a pity, a pity!"

When Hua Jinyun knew the truth, his heart ached even more. He felt that Xingbu was really stupid. It was just a book. If it is gone, it will be gone. But life is gone forever, why is it so?The old monk said that what everyone loves and insists on is different. To sacrifice for what you love, even if you die, you will have no regrets.

The old monk said: "Benefactor, this man has passed away, so why do you care about it? This is the choice of the Xingbu benefactor, and it is no different from others."

Hua Jinyun said: "But...he shouldn't be like this..."

Hua Jinyun fell into grief, and the old monk stood quietly beside him. After some time, Hua Jinyun no longer indulged in his own world, and the old monk said, "Almsgiver, are you still clinging to hatred? Want to avenge the star step benefactor?"

Hua Jinyun was silent.

The old monk said again: "It seems that you are still persistent."

Hua Jinyun was speechless.

The old monk said: "This is the fate and debt between you and him, and you need to settle it yourself. Almighty, there are two roads in front of you now, which one do you choose?"

Hua Jinyun asked suspiciously, "Master, which two paths?"

The old monk handed Hua Jinyun a jade pendant, this jade pendant was given to Xingbu by him, Hua Jinyun took the jade pendant in his hand and asked: "Master, this is Xingbu's jade, why is it here? "

The old monk said: "This is something outside of the body. The person has passed away. It doesn't matter whether you keep it or not. The road is your own choice. When you think about heaven and hell, you can't go or stay. The heart is the guiding light. Almighty, the first way, It is the old monk who will point you to the location of the person who killed Xingbu Benefactor, and help you go there to take revenge. If you kill that person, Xingbu Benefactor’s vengeance will be avenged. The second way is where you came from, Where do you go back, let go of hatred, let go of attachments, and only then can you be at ease."

Hua Jinyun said, "Are there only two options?"

The old monk said: "That's right. One thought of the Buddha and one thought of the devil, once you choose the wrong one, you will be lost forever."

Hua Jinyun wavered and hesitated in front of these two choices. He asked the old monk what he should do, and the old monk said: "Follow your own heart, don't force, don't indulge."

Follow your own heart...but how to follow your own heart?The old monk said that when you understand what you think, you can make a choice.

Hua Jinyun was heartbroken for Xingbu's departure. He hated himself for not being by Xingbu's side at the time. If he had been by Xingbu's side, he would have stopped Xingbu and not argued with officers and soldiers over that book. step to survive.

Hua Jinyun was guilty and remorseful. He knelt down in front of the old monk, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and kept repenting. Afterwards, the old monk asked him if he had made a decision, and he said: "Xingbu is gone, so I will kill him." His people are useless, and Xingbu can't come back. Besides, if Xingbu was not obsessed with that book, maybe he wouldn't be killed. It is wrong for the officer and soldier to kill, but there is also Xingbu himself If you think about it carefully, you really can't blame others too much."

Hearing what Hua Jinyun said, the old monk had a look of joy on his brows: "Amitabha, you are so good. The fact that the benefactor can think this way is enough to prove that the benefactor is no longer attached and has broken free from the demons in his heart. It is gratifying, gratifying!"

Hua Jinyun said: "I would also like to thank the master for his enlightenment. If there is no master, maybe I have already fallen into the mud, and I will never recover. Master, I have decided to go back to where I am."

The old monk said: "Benefactor, this is your own choice. It is you who defeated the inner demons and let go of your attachments. Since you have decided to go back to where you are, then you can take this jade pendant."

Hua Jinyun said: "Master, there seems to be something wrong with this. This is the master's property. How can I be greedy for myself?"

The old monk said: "The sky is empty, the earth is empty, you are empty, and I am empty. Everything is empty in the end. Why are you and me? It is foolish to hold it in your hand but not to hold it."

The old monk's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but Hua Jinyun hadn't understood it yet. Looking at the jade in his hand, he thought to himself: "This is the jade that the master gave to Xingbu. Since Xingbu is gone, it should be returned to the master, but listen to the master. It seems that I want to hold this piece of jade, why don't I hold it for now, although it may not be useful, but it is also the master's intention, I will keep it properly."

Hua Jinyun accepted the jade, thanked the old monk, said goodbye to the old monk, then went to Xingbu's tomb to see Xingbu, and then went down the mountain.
