Visit Buddha

An oil lamp was lit in the dilapidated thatched hut, and the old doors and windows were ventilating everywhere. Listen carefully, and there are wild beasts roaring in the distance.The three of them sat around a narrow square table, and when they dozed off next to each other, they would hit their heads.

Knowing that his identity was exposed, Mo Youning stumbled and explained the whole story to Xuan Li.Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, he defended himself again, "That's roughly the case. At first I didn't mean to deceive you. Then it was..."

The thatched cottage was still silent, and Mo Youning peeked at the Adhan ceremony by the dim candlelight, only to see him tightly pursing his lips, frowning and staring at himself, his eyes implied anger.

Speaking of growing up so far, how has Mo Youning ever been so humble?Now, for the first time, he explained and defended him, but the monk still refused to appreciate it.When Mo Youning saw this, the spoiled young master became tempered again, snorted and turned his back, simply ignoring him.

"Uh... If you want to say that the prince lied to you, it's actually my fault." Seeing that the little ancestor got angry, Jing Shuang had no choice but to come out to save the situation, "After all, we sneaked out this time, and I'm afraid someone will listen to us if we expose our identities casually." Calling disaster."

...But those miraculous skills behind are world-class, and there are other sibling settings that have nothing to do with her!

"When we first met, you and I met by chance..." Maybe it was because of Jingshuang's face, Xuan Li finally said leisurely, "At that time, I didn't want to climb up to you, and I didn't want to know each other. Buddhism pays attention to fate, I can Ever forced you to give your name?"

"It's not all because of your stinginess." Recalling the scene of the first acquaintance, Mo Youning was sullen, even with a hint of blame in his tone, "I asked your name and birthday, but you refused to say anything. Out of helplessness, I I just reported my name, in exchange for a courtesy..."

"Could it be that you told me to silence first?" After all, it turned out to be his own fault, and the prince was able to make such unreasonable words.He was already angry at the adhan ceremony, and it was even more difficult to calm down the anger in his chest after hearing it.

He has been in the monastery for 18 years. Although he has come into contact with many monks and monks, he has practiced Zen with several older masters.Occasionally dealing with two or three disciples of the same period, it is always a matter of words and courtesy, and the relationship is really as light as water.And when he met Mo Youning after going down the mountain, he had to pester him to walk with him, what else would he do to make a sworn brother.Although Xuan Li never said it clearly, he actually regarded him as a close friend and brother, and even the titles became closer.

But in the end, he found that the people he thought he knew were lying all along.And the so-called confidant's heart-to-heart is like a big joke.

"I..." Mo Youning racked his brains to think hard, but he couldn't remember when he silenced the adhaan, and suddenly felt puzzled, "When did I silence you?"

Who told him that he has always been straightforward, talking nonsense about anything, so he has offended many people.In the past, he was afraid of his status as a prince, and dared not speak up when he scolded him.Now... It seems that this problem is about to be corrected.

Adhan didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt that he not only made up a lie but refused to admit it, but also felt that he was hopeless and simply gave up talking.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" They were talking well, and Xuanli suddenly got up and walked out the door, and hurriedly followed.Inadvertently, he was hit hard by the edge of the square table and hissed in pain.

Jing Shuang, who had already fallen asleep in a daze, was awakened by the banging sound from the table. Seeing this scene, she thought that the adhan was about to leave, and she didn't know whether to stay in the adhan or show Mo Youning the injury first.

It is naturally impossible to go anywhere for the adhan ceremony in the middle of the night, and besides, he has no relatives and no reason, and he can't play the trick of Mo Youning running away from home.I saw Xuan Li went to the corner of the house, picked up some hay, spread it on the ground, cleaned it, softened the weeds, and sat cross-legged on it to recite scriptures.

Clutching his aching knee, Mo Youning kept his eyes fixed on Xuan Li, and felt relieved when he saw that he was still staying in the hut.It's just that he was still asking questions just now, so why did the monk suddenly recite sutras?He limped over with his sore knee, squatted in front of Adhan and poked his bare head, "Dan, why are you chanting sutras all of a sudden?"

"This benefactor," the sutra was interrupted in the middle, and the adhan was just said calmly, "It's getting late, and the little monk is going to sleep after sitting in the evening meditation. Please rest earlier."

Both the expression and the tone are very calm, Xuan Li has always been so gentle when he treats people, it is completely impossible to see that he was still angry because of being cheated just now.Even when Mo Youning touched his head, he didn't avoid it as usual.It was clear that everything was looking like a sunny day after the rain, but the always bold young prince felt that the matter might become a big mess.

"Yeah, it's so late, and I have to go on my way tomorrow." Jing Shuang was so sleepy that her eyes narrowed, she lay on the square table and vaguely called Mo Youning to sleep.

When they fell asleep, Mo Youning sat in the hut overnight.

The boundary I passed the next day was called General Tomb, although it was called a tomb, but it was actually an empty tomb.Mo Youning knew about this place a few days earlier, and inquired about many rumors along the way.But when he really got here, he couldn't feel any interest at all, and he was full of thoughts about the ceremony.

Jing Shuang was sleepy last night, and then they only heard a rough outline of what they said.Seeing that the two of them were ignoring each other today, they couldn't talk to each other even if they tried to persuade them.The whole day, Mo Youning was depressed and depressed, and after a while he would secretly look at the announcement.Fortunately, Xuanli is still willing to go with them, otherwise the little ancestor's grievances will be overwhelming.

"My lord, we're going to the General's Monument. You said five days ago that you would go to see it. Let's go there?"

"Oh..." That was the answer in his mouth, but Mo Youning's footsteps still followed closely the adhan ceremony, and he had no intention of going to see the monument at all.Now his mind is full of how to make a ceremony to calm down, what's so good about the General Cup and General Bowl?

"Young master!" Even the things he is most interested in recently can't arouse his interest, Jing Shuang really doesn't know what to make Mo Youning happy.Following his gaze to the obviously preoccupied adhan, I just feel that these two are really bothering.

"I want to see the general's stele, Shi...Sister Jingshuang, please take me there." Xuanli hesitated again and again, and finally stopped.Five days ago, I heard Mo Youning talking about coming to the General's Tomb. It would be a pity if I missed it like this.

After finishing the adhan ceremony, he felt that he was really troublesome, and Mo Youning wanted to make sure that he would say it.

He had been wondering since he woke up at the usual time, but when he opened his eyes and saw Jing Shuang, he was afraid of falling asleep on the square table, so he wanted to lie back and pretend to sleep until they woke up.Before she lay down, she heard Mo Youning's voice, and realized that he was sitting in front of her with bloodshot eyes, probably because she hadn't slept all night.

Originally, I wanted to say good morning to him, but remembering what happened last night, I just made a salute with palms together.At the moment Mo Youning's eyes are even more dim, and the brilliance in the eyes full of stars in the past is gone.He didn't say much but just woke up Jingshuang and told her to pack up and get ready to go.

Xuanli had already tidied up and was ready to go on the road. He secretly watched Jingshuang still dressing up, and read the morning scriptures twice more to wait for her to tidy up.

Not to mention that when Jingshuang called Mo Youning to eat on the road, he said he was hungry, and when he asked Mo Youning to drink water, he said he was thirsty, and now he still wants to see the General's Tomb.

"Okay, I'll take you there right now." Thankfully, Xuanli was kind-hearted and didn't blame Mo Youning for what he did wrong, and even wanted to call her sister.Thinking of this, Jingshuang secretly spurned her master, even such a pure and kind little monk would be deceived, and she deserved this fate.

If I had known this, why did I have to?

The general stele is only a few dozen steps away from the official road, and it didn't take much effort to get there.Although the tomb is an empty tomb, the life stories engraved on the inscription are all true.

Xuanli was always in awe and fear of the generals who were fighting and killing everywhere, so he didn't plan to come to see it.When I got to the front, I found that the inscription on the inscription was not about killing everywhere, but about the life of a generation of famous generals who lived a life of debauchery and pleasure.

The general's surname is Ye, and at the age of [-], he succeeded his late father as a general and was sent to garrison the border.Later, he assisted the prince of the current dynasty to kill his brother and usurp the throne, and became the general protecting the country.Afterwards, the monarch was cruel, causing harm to the common people, and even threw the general into prison.The general felt the suffering of the people all over the world, so he escaped from prison and took refuge in Linguo, and was able to unify the four countries.Afterwards, he only said that he had repeatedly rebelled and was ashamed to be a minister, so he immediately disarmed and returned to the field, asking the monarch to treat him as dead.The emperor promised to build the general's empty tomb.

The inscription also records that the general did not marry a wife during his lifetime, but became a relative with the deputy general of the army, and since then Baisheng has held hands in death.

The general and the lieutenant are married, is the lieutenant a heroine?

Desperately following Xuanli to the stone tablet, seeing him carefully studying the inscription, Mo Youning wanted to come here a long time ago, so he started to study it.From the emperor's point of view, the general must be a traitor, even if his nine clans were killed, it would be difficult to offset his crimes.

But for the common people in the sky, he can be called a good general through the ages.And the matter of General Ye and his adjutant also moved Mo Youning. There are actually men in the world who are willing to stand by each other to death.It's really admirable to call out the general and spend his whole life burying his bones.

Thinking about it again, I was really stingy, I clearly lied first and I kept making excuses again and again.But Xuan Li was really unreasonable, and he refused to talk to him for a whole day.Seeing that someone who is a general puts his personal feelings above his family, his country, his life and death, he, as a prince, will make the world laugh at him because of this matter.

"Dan Li," Mo Youning called his name, but he didn't get a word.He was not annoyed, and continued on his own, "You see, it will be troublesome if we continue to quarrel, but can we find a way to shake hands and make peace?"

Xuan Li still didn't answer, but his eyes looked over, and it was clearly written on his face that he wanted to see what he could do.Jing Shuang also couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in the ancestral gourd, and was also curiously waiting for such a follow-up.

"Let's do this, there must be someone who will give in before the reconciliation. Let's wrestle the wrists, and whoever loses will make amends, how about that?" Mo Youning raised his hands in mid-air to set up a posture, and it was really a 'handshake' to make peace.

After singing such a song suddenly, Xuan Li raised his hand in a daze, but was suddenly held down by Mo Youning, and the winner was instantly decided.

"Okay, I won!" Anyway, the rules were set in advance, Mo Youning held his hand and looked at the ceremony with joy, "Apologize to me quickly, and we will make up!"

"I...huh!" It was Mo Youning's fault from the beginning to the end, why did it suddenly become his fault?Even wanting to make a fool of breaking his wrist, Xuan Li suddenly felt that he was in a thief's boat, and he was about to leave when he shook off his hand.

"Don't go!" It was rare for him to come up with a solution, but the monk didn't appreciate it.Seeing that he was going to leave, Mo Youning hurriedly stopped him, he couldn't stand the stalemate any longer, and he felt uncomfortable after staying up all night last night.Since Adhan Li refused to make amends, he had no choice but to condescend, "Well, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you... just forgive me~"

"Yeah, it's rare for my prince to apologize to someone, so please forgive him." Jing Shuang, who was extremely embarrassed by their tossed position, quickly helped when she saw that things had turned around.If these two people are quarreling for a few days, poor her will be prematurely aged.

Speaking of this, Xuan Li has already softened his heart.After getting along for many days, he also knew that Mo Youning was kind in nature, and wanted to forgive him several times, so nodding his head meant he agreed.

"Wow! That's great!" Finally able to sleep soundly, Mo Youning was overjoyed and jumped up in an instant, "From then on, you will call me brother Youning!"

"..." Buddha, can you take back what you said?
