burning lamp

That day, Xie Fengshu was taken back by the collar by Xiaoxi, and then severely reprimanded by Sui Ling and Lu Qiwu.Sui Ling was fine, although she was angry, she never saw Xie Fengshu submissive and acting like a baby; Lu Qiwu was surrounded by Xie Fengshu and called him master for a long time, seeing that he was cheating and admitting his mistakes, in the end Xie Fengshu picked him up Ten days of water, the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain repeatedly come and go every day, and the mocking stream does not help, lying in the mountain flowers with a piece of dogtail grass in its mouth and laughing at him.

Xie Fengshu was already exhausted, so he simply threw the barrel aside and sat down beside Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned over and sat up: "The water tank is not full yet, have you learned to be lazy?"

"Who's being lazy." Xie Fengshu lay down on the half slope, his whole body was hidden among the mountains and flowers, "I'll just rest for a while."

Xiaoxi said leisurely at the side: "Whatever you want, anyway, if you haven't finished picking water by the evening, you will have to add more hours to practice."

Xie Fengshu didn't get up either. He lay down and turned his head to look at Xiaoxi next to him. The other person was sitting with his backlit, his face was deep and clear, and he looked a little sharp. For some reason, he thought of the monk in the back mountain.

The face of the other party did not have such a sharp and clear look like Xiaoxi, and it was as peaceful as a lake like a mirror.

"I went to find the monk you mentioned that day."

"I know." Xiaoxi glanced at him impatiently, "He's good-looking, doesn't eat monsters, and even borrowed a lantern from you when you left—how many times do you have to say that?"

Xie Fengshu ignored him and looked up at the vast cloudless sky: "Who told you to scare me?"

Xiaoxi knew he was wrong, he really didn't see many monks, he only knew mortals, they always dislike monsters, let alone Buddhist practitioners.But this monk didn't sound like an evildoer, and Xie Fengshu couldn't help Xie Fengshu whispering in his ear every day, and waved his hands impatiently: "I made a mistake, it's okay, what is his name, I'll change it." Apologize to him."

It was only then that Xie Fengshu remembered that he didn't even know the other person's name.

Thinking of this, he sat up from the grass.

"I'm going to ask what his name is."

This time Xie Fengshu finally learned his lesson, first he finished picking the water, and then told Lu Qiwu again, Lu Qiwu was drunk, snoring loudly, sleeping in the room.Xie Fengshu ran to look for Sui Ling again.

The door of Sui Ling's room was closed, Xie Fengshu knocked on the door politely, and the door opened from the inside after a while, Sui Ling saw that it was him, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come in?"

"Master said, you can't enter the door of the girl's house casually, and neither can senior sister." Xie Fengshu smiled obediently at Sui Ling, "Senior sister, I want to go out."

Sui Ling rubbed his head: "Where are you going?"

Xie Fengshu answered truthfully: "Houshan."

Sui Ling sighed: "To find that monk?"

Seeing Xie Fengshu's nod, Sui Ling had a headache and asked, "You don't know if he is a good person, so you just went to him?"

Xie Fengshu replied: "He lent me the lamp."

Sui Ling looked at the little junior brother in front of her, who was already taller than herself, she had nothing to say, she could only say: "Go early and return early, be careful on the road."

"Then tell me when Master wakes up," Xie Fengshu complained, "I don't want to carry water anymore."

Sui Ling was angry and funny: "Hurry up!"

Xie Fengshu took a few steps out of the courtyard, thought for a while, then turned back, ran into his room, and took a lantern from the wall.

When he arrived outside the courtyard that day, the wooden door was slightly closed.Xie Fengshu still didn't dare to go in, he put the lamp at the base of the wall, and turned over to the wall again.

The door of the room at the end of the courtyard was ajar, and someone must have been inside.

Xie Fengshu sat on the wall and waited for a while, finally saw the door was pushed open, and someone came out, it was the very good-looking monk that day.

Xie Fengshu sat up straight at once, wanted to call out to the other party, but he didn't know the name, he was hesitating, when the other party raised his eyes, he saw Xie Fengshu on the wall.

Jiang Chen paused on the spot before walking over, standing under the wall and looking up at the young man in red on the wall.

"What are you here for?"

If other people were asked this question, they might feel a little embarrassed. After all, this sentence sounds like a tactful order to chase away guests, but Xie Fengshu didn't think so. He was quite happy that the other party came to talk to him, and replied enthusiastically: "Come on." Give back your lamp."

He jumped down from the wall, picked up the lantern on the ground, embarrassed to climb the wall again, and took a few steps to the door.Jiang Chen had already opened the door, and looked at Xie Fengshu from inside to outside.

The wooden door was thick and heavy, Jiang Chen only opened half of it, holding the door with one hand, unable to open it halfway.Xie Fengshu handed him the lantern in his hand: "Thank you."

Seeing that Jiang Chen took the lantern, Xie Fengshu didn't leave, he looked up at the person inside the door and asked, "What's your name?"

Jiang Chen looked at him and asked back, "What's your name?"

Normally, this little junior who was pampered by his master might answer "I'll ask you first" unhappily, but he was too curious about this monk he had never seen before, so he answered without hesitation: "Xie Fengshu, my master gave me the name."

Xie Fengshu didn't like this name at first, he found it awkward and hard to remember, and he complained to Lu Qiwu, but Lu Qiwu slapped him on the forehead and said angrily: "What do you know, life is alive, gathering and dispersing For impermanence, we must thank both the encounter and the special way.”

At that time, Xie Fengshu thought for a while, and finally said honestly: "I don't understand, since I thank you for meeting, how can you be willing to thank Shutu?"

Lu Qiwu was rendered speechless by his words, and finally had no choice but to use that method of coaxing children, and said in a very mysterious way: "When you grow up, you will understand."

Xie Fengshu was very disdainful of the trick he used since he was a child, but he didn't make a fuss about changing his name.

Jiang Chen looked at Xie Fengshu, and finally answered his last question: "Jiang Chen."

"Jiangchen." Xie Fengshu read it aloud, and then asked, "What are you doing here at Sumeru?"

Judging by his posture, it seems that he wants to chat with people across a threshold.

Jiang Chen didn't find him annoying, but he was unavoidably dumbfounded.

He and Ying Long met tens of thousands of years ago, they were also in Xumi, and they were still at odds with life and death, but now they are separated by a temple gate, and they report to each other.

He thought for a while and replied, "Come to meditate."

Xie Fengshu couldn't understand, but he thought it sounded very powerful, as if he was better than practicing swords by himself.

Before they could say a few words, the mountain wind suddenly blew the sleeves of the two of them flying, red and frost entangled in mid-air, Xie Fengshu felt a little cold when he was blown by the wind, and finally found out that he was standing at the door chatting There seems to be something wrong.So he thought about it, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Can I go in?"

Some time ago, Xie Fengshu was afraid that the other party would eat him, so now he took the initiative to come over and want to get close to the other party - he was raised by Lu Qiwu, Sui Ling and Xiao Xi, and he was delicate and sincere.

Jiang Chen looked at him for a while, and finally turned to one side to get out of the way.

The road from the temple gate to the Dharma Hall was not too long, and the two walked side by side, listening to the rustling sound of the bamboo forest being moved by the wind.At the entrance of the Dharma hall, Jiang Chen pushed the door and entered, followed by Xie Fengshu.

The hall is surrounded by stone walls, smooth and clean, spotless.Except for the entrance, a huge sunken wooden lamp stand was placed in front of the other three stone walls. The lamp stand was equipped with five-layer lampstands, which were taller than a person. On the lampstands were black Buddhist lamps, simple and simple, one after another, illuminating The interior is brightly lit.

Xie Fengshu was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "What kind of lamp is this?"

Jiang Chen replied: "Eternal light."

A low table and two futons were placed in front of the Dharma hall. There was ink on the table, and the ink in the inkstone was wet. It was estimated that the writing was halfway through, and the writing was temporarily stopped.Jiang Chen kept walking, sat down at the table, and picked up the pen again.

Xie Fengshu didn't feel that he was being slighted, instead he took the initiative to go over to see what Jiang Chen was writing.

He was originally sitting opposite Jiang Chen, but it was inconvenient to look at things upside down, so he moved his seat very consciously, sat next to Jiang Chen, and continued to read the words on the rice paper.

In this way, he got a little closer.A head almost rubbed against Jiang Chen's face, one white and one red sleeves were stacked, Jiang Chen smelled the fresh and clean grassy smell from Xie Fengshu's body, probably picked up along the way.

He was too close, and it was inconvenient for Jiang Chen to write, so he had already stopped writing.However, Xie Fengshu didn't notice it yet, and compared the paper in front of him, he read down word by word in a low voice.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, sees that the five aggregates are all empty, and overcomes all hardships. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form*—what is this?"
