once upon a time there was a temple

After Zhi Mu left the prince's old mansion, he temporarily lived in Qingyuan Temple. This is the first temple in the dynasty, and it is also the emperor's temple. The incense is very prosperous.

Fortunately, Mu Changfeng didn't admire power at the beginning, but he was very infatuated with Buddha, and his relationship with the abbot of Qingyuan Temple was also extraordinary. As a lecturer in Qingyuan Temple, he often leads all Buddhist disciples to understand Buddhism under the most luxuriant peach blossom in Qingyuan Temple.

On this day, Zhimu finished his homework early, let all the Buddhist disciples visit the Buddha, and came to meditate under the peach blossom by himself, without saying a word, only the slowly twirling beads in his hand, which proved that Zhimu was in deep thoughts thinking.

In an instant, Zhimu and the monks formed a unique atmosphere. The monks chanted scriptures, Zhimu meditated on it, and peach blossoms made the background. It was really like Buddhas in the misty clouds of Lingshan Mountain.

In the suburbs, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and March in Yangchun is the time when many princes and grandchildren are looking for fun. Of course, this beautiful season is not only for young and passionate teenagers, even the emperor Mu Changsu inside the high wall cannot pass this time. The call of time comes here to hunt, and enjoy the wanton flying immediately.

"Dear dears, today's harvest is really rich. Let's share the prey you caught. It's time for me to return to the palace. Come on, drive back to the palace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, and send me off to the emperor!" Several confidant ministers brought by the emperor thanked me and sent me off.

"Show your car! Go back to the palace" Mu Changsu's personal eunuch Tian Ke raised his voice to order.

Mu Changsu entered the sedan chair, guarded by guards at the front, back, front and back.

After walking out of the hunting ground, Tian Ke signaled with his eyes calmly that the guards disappeared mysteriously, leaving a few of them who were not outstanding, and then put on the clothes of ordinary guards, and the sedan chair went back to the opposite direction of the palace. , Mu Changsu never said a word, and the silence in the sedan chair was very low.

"Master, we're here!" It turned out that the sedan chair was far away at the back door of Qingyuan Temple and was not moving forward, Tianke leaned over and said in a low voice.

Mu Changsu opened the curtain and stepped out, and continued to walk towards the temple in silence. Tian Ke and the guards followed, always keeping a distance of three feet behind Mu Changsu.

Tianke doesn't dare to disturb Mu Changsu now, and he doesn't dare to make a sound, because Tianke knows that the current master is the most dangerous and the most vulnerable. Since that incident, this Qingyuan Temple has become Mu Changsu's heart. Forbidden place.

Although he knew that this Qingyuan Temple would evoke painful events, Tianke, as a personal eunuch, knew that this Qingyuan Temple was also the place most cherished by the emperor.It is known from the fact that the emperor must come once a month.

That person has been dead for more than ten years, and he still hasn't let Mu Changsu go, or Mu Changsu is still unwilling to let him go, Tianke doesn't know.All he knew was that although Mu Changsu ruined him, it's better to say that he didn't let him go. Who would let who go in this world of mortals?

Mu Changsu walked quietly, catching the breath of that person in the air, but after so many years, the breath of his existence here has become thinner and thinner, Mu Changsu was very frightened, but there are some things, even if he is the emperor Powerless, such as resurrection from the dead.

"Tianke, do you think the emperor has already started a new life, drank Mengpo soup, and forgotten all the past?" Although Mu Changsu was asking Tianke, Tianke knew that the emperor was not asking at all. He doesn't want an answer, he is asking himself and torturing himself.

"Yeah, Brother Huang must wish to drink Mengpo soup and forget about me, a brother who has forgotten ethics."

"Brother Huang, recently I've been feeling mentally weak and physically weak. It seems that the day when I come to you is not far away." Mu Changsu murmured, with a weeping and lonely expression.

"The emperor has lived the same life as the sky, but he has been tired recently. The third prince has passed away. A kind-hearted person like him must hope that the living can live a good life." Tian Ke looked at the sad emperor very distressedly, Tianke, who had watched Mu Changsu grow up since he was a child, had already quietly and disrespectfully loved Mu Changsu as his son in his heart.

He watched Mu Changsu do everything to that person from the very beginning to the very end, he was overjoyed and saddened by that person, and he was full of pity, but in the end he died in despair and wanted to hate him. She knew that Mu Changsu would never be able to hurt him, but the world was changing and accidents left Mu Changsu with a wound that would never heal.

"What's the point of living in this world without him? Maybe I should have followed him more than ten years ago, maybe I would meet him on Huangquan Road, and then cling to him, and he will never You can't get rid of me, don't let me suffer in this world without him."

"Tian Ke, you stay here, I am pure and pure by myself."

"Amitabha, the almsgiver is here. Is today the same?" The abbot came slowly, clasped his hands together to salute, as if facing every ordinary pilgrim.

"No, today I'm just here to come and not stay overnight, the abbot can go and get busy on his own." Mu Changsu ordered lightly.

"The benefactor still seems to have a difficult heart. That's all. Recently, the son of an old friend came to the temple. He is already an eminent monk. He is currently teaching scriptures in the peach forest. The benefactor can go and watch. Maybe this knot will be resolved. Let’s open a day, Amitabha, the poor monk will take a step first.” The abbot turned and left after performing the Buddhist ceremony, with an unpredictable expression.

Mu Changsu turned around the largest pagoda in the Buddhist temple, and in the peach grove behind the pagoda, he saw the holy monks bathing in the light of the Buddha. The monks looked calm, turned the beads, and chanted Buddhist scriptures. The white-clothed saint monk in front of him is like a Buddha who has passed away from Nirvana.

But Mu Changsu felt that the holy monk seemed to have seen him before, so he walked towards Zhimu.

Zhi Mu opened his once clear eyes, stood up slowly, then glanced at Mu Changsu, then bent slightly, and walked deep into the peach forest.

The depths of the peach grove are not like the sunny and peaceful atmosphere outside the peach grove, but it is like the depths of the heart, where it is easiest to see the real scenery.

"Amitabha, what is the benefactor's trouble? The poor monk can enlighten him a little or two." Zhi Mu stood with his back to Mu Changsu, facing the deep part of the peach forest, but his eyes had spread to the old time more than ten years ago.Desolate and pathetic.

"I have already heard about the magnificence of the holy monk who holds the bath. I do have a knot in my heart, and I think about it day and night, but the person I think about has passed away more than ten years ago, but it was destroyed by my own hands. After thinking about it like this For a long time, I almost felt that I had completely forgotten about his appearance, and I hope that the holy monk can relieve me from this mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire."

Maybe it's because the woods are too quiet, maybe it's because Zhimu's back looks too similar to that person, maybe it's because of Zhimu's calming scent, maybe it's because the peach blossoms in the depths of the peach forest are too deserted, Mu Changsu forgot to be on guard, like a People who are usually troubled by love can tell the knots that have been circling in their hearts for more than ten years.

Yes, he Mu Changsu loves Mu Changfeng, has always loved, almost crazy in love, but what about Mu Changfeng?He continued to marry and have children, continued to be calm and breezy, and continued to devote himself to the Buddha. He was holy, kind, and detached.

Finally on that day, when he saw Mu Changfeng's hearty smile again, Mu Changsu made up his mind that he must get Mu Changfeng in his life, otherwise he would have no joy in life. Becoming an emperor, only if he becomes an emperor can he get Mu Changfeng, his dear brother and lover.

Mu Changsu got the support of the court ministers, the emperor's favor was very fast, Mu Changsu was born to be suitable for matters of power.But the emperor still loves Mu Changfeng the most, and has no intention of changing the crown prince, but Mu Changsu can't wait for a day.

He provoked the rest of the princes and made them unbalanced, so the emperor's body quickly deteriorated day by day. Finally, at the critical moment when the emperor was dying, the emperor changed the prince to Mu Changsu. At the moment of dying, this The imperial father may have just figured it out, his eldest prince Mu Changfeng has always been absent from the court, with a demeanor like a fairy, and he will never be happy in this imperial power where he will make mistakes every step of the way if he is not careful.

Forget it, forget it, the third prince, Mu Changsu, is a born strategist and has the closest relationship with Changfeng. As the emperor, the world has developed and Changfeng has been free, so it couldn't be better.

But Ren Mu Changsu never imagined that although the other princes were not well-known, they would have no lingering prestige after decades of immersion in the imperial court. He would kill them all, so naturally they would not let the former prince go.For so many years, Mu Changsu's love has been hidden so well that no one has ever noticed except Tian Ke who has been serving him all the time, but after all, the eyes of loving someone cannot be hidden, and the most insidious and cunning tenth prince has naturally noticed it. Hmph, if you make me homeless, I will let you die of heartache.

The tenth prince put all his strength into the final battle, eliminated the former prince Mu Changfeng's family, and then committed suicide by drinking blood. Mu Changsu, even if you are so powerful, how can you bring yourself back to life?What's even more insidious is that the Tenth Prince, under the banner of Mu Changsu, solved Mu Changfeng's family, so until his death, Mu Changfeng still thought that it was Mu Changsu who couldn't tolerate him so much. Annihilation, put the blame on Mu Changsu for hundreds of lives.

The ten prince bet on the right treasure, and since then, he has successfully made a generation of new emperors feel ashamed and miserable all day long.

"Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, if there is an effect, there will be a cause. Life and death reincarnation have fate, and things in the world are often like this. Some things are painful when I think of them at the time. After decades, they are just memories. Memories are still tormenting people. Don't you forget it now? Isn't it just right?"

"What the monk doesn't know is that no matter how painful the memory of him is, it is the hope I live on. If these memories are gone, what hope do I have for living? I know that I will not see him when I die , he will not want to see me, so I only have to live, to feel the memories he gave me."

"Amitabha, let memory return to memory, let pain return to pain, let life be life, let death be death, let him grow in your heart like a tree, life after life, don't be afraid that he will leave, because he has been with you life after life Together."

"Thank you, Holy Monk, I have learned something." Mu Changsu went back the same way after he finished speaking, and never looked back.
