burning lamp

As soon as Xie Fengshu's words came out, the lights in the room seemed to be frightened by something, and they flickered violently.

In the flickering light and shadow, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, looked at Xie Fengshu, and finally said after a long time: "...what?"

Xie Fengshu thought he didn't hear clearly, so he moved closer and said: "I said you and I—"

"I heard clearly." Jiang Chen interrupted him abruptly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again. "I mean why did you suddenly—"

Jiang Chen paused, but after all, he still didn't follow Xie Fengshu to say those few words, and instead asked, "Speaking of this?"

Xie Fengshu looked at him, his voice was small and low: "I don't want you to go."

"..."

Buddhist cultivation emphasizes that all four things are empty, but Jiang Chen is full of thoughts at the moment, and he doesn't know what mood he is in for a moment. He looked at Xie Fengshu, who was dressed in crimson red, and a pair of eyes as bright as mirrors and lakes were looking at Jiang Chen desperately. It looks clean and pure.

Jiang Chen looked at him, finally shook his head, and said, "No."

Xie Fengshu immediately became anxious, raised his voice and asked, "Why?"

Jiang Chen looked at him quietly, and whispered: "Do you know what a husband and wife are?"

"I'm not a child." Xie Fengshu smiled at Jiang Chen, "If you like someone and want to grow old with him forever and never be separated for the rest of your life, then you have to be a husband and wife with him."

He looked up at Jiang Chen and asked seriously: "Don't you like me and want to separate from me?"

Jiang Chen once debated the Dharma with three thousand Buddhas in the Great Brahma Heaven, but at this moment he was rendered speechless by Xie Fengshu's questioning.

Xie Fengshu is different from the three-day gods and Buddhas, different from any immortals, monsters, demons and monsters that Jiangchen met, and even a little different from Yinglong in ancient times-he has no demons, no hatred, only a young man who is true to himself. With a pure heart, warm and sincere, he was eagerly waiting for Jiang Chen's answer.

Jiang Chen looked at him, his tone was much gentler, but he still said: "No."

At this moment, all the explanations are a little weak, but Jiang Chen is afraid of hurting a clean young heart, so he can only explain with effort.

"Xie Fengshu," he hesitated, and said slowly, "Monks are not allowed to be husband and wife, and two men are also not allowed to be husband and wife."

Xie Fengshu looked at him fixedly, the smile on his face was gone, the corners of his lips were tensed, he looked a little sad, and showed a stubbornness that no one else had.

He suddenly said: "No."

During the long night, his voice could be heard clearly in the Dharma Hall.

"As long as two people like each other, they can be husband and wife."

Xie Fengshu was spoiled and brought up by the people in the teacher's school all his life, Lu Qiwu and Sui Ling pampered him, even Xiaoxi, who took pleasure in teasing him all day long, never actually refused Xie Fengshu's request.It was the first time in Xie Fengshu's life that he was rejected by someone. He was indeed a little sad, and even a little angry, and his voice was muffled.

"Don't you like me? I don't believe you are so good to me. You like me, but dare not say—"

The more Xie Fengshu spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he raised his head back, accidentally knocked off the scriptures on the desk and didn't care, and made a conclusion word by word: "Coward."

"..." From ancient times to the present, Jiang Chen was pointed at the nose and called a coward for the first time, but he did not refute.He looked at Xie Fengshu, and said in an unhurried tone: "Xie Fengshu, you have only transformed into 200 years this year. Calculated according to the age of the world, you have just reached adulthood. At this age, you met someone who you don't hate. When you get along with each other, you feel happy, and you think it’s like liking.”

"You still have a lot of time. If you become a fairy, you will never grow old or die, and your age will be endless. At that time, you will know that what you are talking about now is just—"

Before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Xie Fengshu asked, "At that time, what if I still like you?"

He was dissatisfied with his intention being treated as a joke, so he replied firmly and loudly: "Even if there are still many days, even if there are still 300, 500, 700 years, even if one day I become a fairy, I still like you." .

"In case that time comes, what reason will you use to prevaricate me?"

There was a mountain wind blowing through the forest outside the window, only the candles were burning quietly in the Dharma hall, and occasionally a lantern exploded, making a slight sound.Xie Fengshu's eyes were hotter than candle flames, Jiang Chen's heart as cold as a stone seemed to be burnt, he wanted to touch Xie Fengshu's head, or touch the other's slender eyelashes, but in the end he didn't do anything, he didn't even move, he just said: "Go back, Xie Fengshu."

The next moment, Xie Fengshu's eye circles turned red.

He didn't cry - he said just now that he was no longer a child, so why did he have the nerve to cry in front of Jiang Chen?But he was really sad, so he stood up with red eyes, didn't even say goodbye to Jiang Chen, and walked out with his head held high.

Don't come to him anymore, Xie Fengshu thought with red eyes.He is so annoying that I will never come to him again.

He walked in a hurry, almost rushed out, and didn't even close the door of the Dharma Hall.So the mighty mountain wind came in from outside, shaking Jiang Chen's monk's robe, shaking the three thousand lights, and flipping the scriptures that had been knocked to the ground by Xie Fengshu just now.

It was a volume of "Avatamsaka Sutra", most of which was blown away by the wind.Jiang Chen picked it up and wrote on it: "All rewards arise from karma, and all fruits arise from causes."

So tonight, is it cause or effect between me and Xie Fengshu?

The reason for myself and Xie Fengshu is that I killed each other for the sake of so-called sentient beings in this Mount Sumeru in my previous life.

Jiang Chen never cared about the request from the fairy world. He re-entered Sumeru just to repay the life in his previous life.Ran Deng is an ancient Buddha who created the world, and he knows the principle of karma repayment, so he thought that he should either let Xie Fengshu grow up well, or let him ascend to the ascension.But now he understands that there are variables in all causes and effects, and the variable between him and Xie Fengshu in this life is an untimely love.

He was thinking about Xie Fengshu's appearance just now, his eyes were red, but he stubbornly did not bow his head.

I made him sad, but if one day Xie Fengshu found out about the past, he would probably be a thousand times more sad than he is now.At that time, the hatred of killing one's body, the deep hatred of blood, how can you like it?

Jiang Chen looked down at the half-copied scriptures on the desk, and after a long time, he picked it up expressionlessly and placed it on the candlelight, burning it up bit by bit.

Xie Fengshu was still awake when Xie Fengshu rushed into the room, and was pouring tea at the table, startled by the sudden door opening, and turned his head impatiently: "What's so important about opening the door!"

When he raised his eyes again, he saw Xie Fengshu's eyes were as red as a rabbit.So he swallowed all the words that followed, put the cup down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xie Fengshu sniffed and replied, "I'm going to sleep."

After finishing speaking, Xie Fengshu threw himself on the bed and wrapped himself tightly with a quilt, and ignored what Xiaoxi called out.

Xiaoxi had no choice but to call Sui Ling and Lu Qiwu again, and the three circled around Xie Fengshu's bed.One asked, "Little apprentice, do you want Master to buy snacks for you tomorrow?" and the other asked, "Xiaoshu, can my senior sister cook a bowl of noodles for you?"

Xie Fengshu didn't speak, and shook his head in the quilt, only when Xie Xi believed that he was bullied by the monk in the back mountain, and angrily took the long whip to go out, Xie Fengshu leaned out and replied listlessly: " He didn't bully me, I'm fine."

How could it be all right? Perhaps it was because the night wind was too strong and Xie Fengshu ran all the way in a hurry. In the middle of the night, he developed a fever.

Drowsy, he could only dimly see his senior sister feeding him medicine, while Xiaoxi was holding a bowl at the side, Lu Qiwu helped him feel the temperature on his forehead, then retracted his hand to comfort him: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem."

Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like silk.Xie Fengshu drank medicine every day and lay down for three or four days before he finally recovered. He lost a little weight, a little baby fat faded from his face, and he seemed to have grown up a bit.

He practiced kung fu obediently, and played around with Suiling Xiaoxi, but he never said that he was going to the back mountain to find someone.The rest of the master didn't dare to ask him, and they all regarded him as the monk in the back mountain.

One evening, the three siblings finished their exercises and sat down to eat together. Xie Fengshu only took a few bites and then put down his chopsticks. He had been ill and always lost his appetite. Sui Ling looked distressed and couldn't help but mutter : "How can I eat so much all the time?"

Xiao Xi interjected: "Doesn't he like to eat hawthorn from the back mountain? It's an appetizer. I'll take him to pick some later."

He hadn't thought about it that much at first, but after he finished speaking casually, he finally realized something was wrong in the silence, and changed his words pretentiously: "He's too lazy to go, I can go by myself."

Everyone was taking care of their own feelings, while Xie Fengshu felt guilty, he was also a little bit aggrieved: Why not go, the back mountain is so big, I can just go without seeing him, afraid of what he will do.

So he raised his head and replied loudly, "Go!"
