dragon pen

Zhu Jiuyin's words fell, and the room fell into a moment of silence.

"Tired of playing?"

Shi Kong stepped forward and pulled off the blanket that was covering Zhu Jiuyin's knees. When the fur blanket fell to the ground with a slap, he grabbed Zhu Jiuyin's skirt aggressively—

"Are you talking about me? You treat me like a plaything?! If you call it, you will come, if you wave it, you will go away! When you are in a good mood, you will tease and care, take me down the mountain, show me the prosperity of the world, eat what I shouldn't eat, drink What I shouldn't drink, let me ride on your back and turn into a dragon soaring into the sky; when I'm in a bad mood, I just say 'tired', regardless of whether I can no longer feel at ease reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha, regardless of the fact that I ran away and went down the mountain to find you Come, regardless of me stepping into this place of fireworks for you..."

Shi Kong grasped the skirt in his hand, and the upper body of the man who was leaning on the couch sat up slightly, the pair of red pupils looked so close at hand, the tip of Shi Kong's nose almost touched his nose... He bit Gritting his back molars, almost like an angry canine about to show its fangs—

"Just say 'tired of playing' and forget everything? To you, I am..."

At the end of Shi Kong's speech, he was suddenly a little dazed: What is it?What he wanted to say, in fact, he himself didn't quite understand.

However, there were not many emotional changes in those red pupils.

It's just that when the little monk's voice gradually lowered, Zhu Jiuyin lowered his eyes, chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "I don't understand if you are like this, you were the one who drove me away and told me to go away. , and now it looks like this..."

"I apologize!"

"You have to accept the apology?" Zhu Jiuyin stretched out a finger, pushed the little monk aside and grabbed the lapel of his clothes, "I'm told to get out of here, so I have already gone away... Tsk, don't stare at me , I'm not such a ruthless person, you see, if it were an ordinary person who grabbed me by the lapel and made such a loud noise, I'm afraid it would have been—"

When Zhu Jiuyin said this, he suddenly smiled lazily, and looked at Shikong with his eyes wandering: "You know what will happen."

"I also want to thank you for not killing me?"

"That's not necessary, but it's true that I have teased you. Oh, it's not appropriate to say that it has nothing to do with me for causing you to break the precepts and worry about mundane things. But when you think about it carefully, I am nothing I didn't even leave it to you, little monk..."

"What did you leave behind?"

Zhu Jiuyin stretched out her hand, and tapped Shi Kong's eyebrows with her slender fingertips. When the other party was slightly stunned, the arc of his lips became more obvious——

"How about a symbiotic existence with this Lord, a wisp of the red-blooded dragon soul of the twelve ancient witch ancestors?"

"????"

"Evil demons will not invade, and you will prolong your life. Well, if you know how to practice martial arts, you will probably increase your skill greatly..."

"What red-blooded dragon soul! Dare to talk about things that you can't see or touch--treat me as a three-year-old kid?!"

"Ah, don't yell, you little bald donkey," Zhu Jiuyin raised his hand and rubbed the itchy ears, "What do you mean you can't see or touch? Didn't you escape from the tree demon's hand and go down the mountain smoothly?" Are you already? A stubborn child like you, if not for the protection of my Dragon Soul, you would have been ripped apart and eaten alive."

Shi Kong was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"Plum wine," Zhu Jiuyin tilted Erlang's legs, thinking for a while that something seemed wrong, "Didn't you mention it yourself just now? Speaking of which, how did you know it was the plum wine?"

Shi Kong was not ready to answer his question, he just frowned suspiciously: "Live with you? Dragon Soul?"

"That is a precious and good thing. In the future, you must maintain an optimistic mood at all times. Don't look like you are depressed recently. Even I will be implicated by you-eat well and sleep well, maybe you can try to repair some things. The Buddhist law of slaying demons and demons—in short, I can feel your feelings because of this. If you have any troubles, well, I don’t know what will happen to me, but this is the only one I don’t expect to know. "

"Will you give me such a precious thing? One that you treat as a plaything—"

"It's fun." Zhu Jiuyin reached out and patted the little monk's head, "You have to have fun while playing, it's so boring to be tied up... It's not me who abandoned you now, it's you who abandoned me."

After Zhu Jiuyin finished speaking, Shi Kong didn't reply for a long time.

He stared at Zhu Jiuyin, not understanding that this person was only doing it for "fun", not only could he disregard other people's feelings, he could even get into it with himself...

"Because of its strength, after these small gifts, no one will be able to make a fuss about hurting a hair of this gentleman." Zhu Jiuyin smiled, and said lightly under Shi Kong's dazed eyes, "Look, Do you believe it now? The so-called symbiosis means what you are thinking and doubts in your heart, but I—”

"Then you know I like you?"

"..."

Zhu Jiuyin's voice stopped abruptly.

The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

But standing not far from him, the little monk clenched his fists, he stared into the eyes of the man in front of him, his back was tense, his shoulders were trembling almost invisible due to certain emotions... He raised his jaw slightly and pursed his lips The corner is almost like reciting every word——

"——As a monk, there will be such a person in this life, let me look up, respect, until I feel love...His emotions always touch my nerves, my eyes follow him during the day, and he appears at night In my dream, I admired someone so much that my eyes were blurred, and the concept of good and evil in the world was also blurred..."

"—Troubled about some things, worried about whether I was willing to betray the gods and Buddhas in the sky for him, reverse my life's beliefs, become a monk instead of a monk, and fall into the Buddhist way he told himself."

"——I kept saying that I don't want to, but in fact my heart is clearer than anyone else's. This is no longer a choice that I can make my own decision..."

"——What I think about and think about in my mind is something that I only understand after meeting that person. It turns out that a person's heart can also become so happy, speculative, and lost..."

Shi Kong lowered his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly red——

"It was only then that I realized that this kind of mood is 'like', a word so close to 'joy', but it happens to be the other way around, as if falling in love with someone is destined to be very hard , it is doomed to go against 'Huanxi'..."

Zhu Jiuyin stood up from the couch, walked up to Shi Kong and lowered his head, showing a hesitant expression.

"Zhu Jiuyin, I like you." Shi Kong smiled, scratched his head and said, "It seems that this is the case."

Shi Kong's words fell, and what awaited him was a long silence—until even Shi Kong could hardly hear his heartbeat beating like a drum just before. For a long time, he only heard a sigh from above his head, and then, For the first time, the man said in a half-serious tone that was not joking: "That would be too bad, I'm not good at Long Yang."

……

In the end, even Shi Kong himself didn't know how he left the Toon Yard, he only knew that he left in a hurry without looking back, as if he was desperately avoiding something terrible.

——he thought maybe he walked too hastily, and he left his soul there too.

The Anle Temple in the distance is covered in a blanket of white snow, and the falling snow also blurs the way he came. Standing on the street with people coming and going, Shi Kong finds that he is actually more confused than when he went down the mountain at this moment. : Because he doesn't even know where he should go now.

He just walked forward with straight eyes, his legs were numb from freezing, his mind was blank, and he seemed to have lost all emotions.

I unconsciously thought of my first half of my life. From the time I came to Anle Temple and shaved my head to go home, all I could think of was eating vegetarian food, praying to Buddha and standing on tiptoe to light the Buddha lamp. Everything that happens covers—

He meets a dragon.

He covered his eyes with his hands so as not to look at the terrifying lower limbs of the exposed mad dragon.

He stood on the stone steps and persuaded the dragon to leave quickly or the master would come to arrest him.

He stood in front of the Buddhist hall, watching Long Taxue slowly walking towards him.

He is standing by the hot spring.

He was dragged into the water and had his first taste of prohibition.

He walked out of the meditation room and came to the foot of the mountain to see the prosperity of the festival.

He walked up and down the roof grinning.

……

A lantern that fell to the ground and went out.

A flying dragon.

On the rocky pine branches at the back of the mountain, the man with his sleeves covered is looking at him with a pair of red eyes. The moonlight is behind his head, and he only looks at him...

"...Ananda. All living beings are in the same category. Each of them has twelve upside down."

Straw sandals stepped on the snow and left footprints one by one.

"It's like pinching the eyes and chaos. The inversion of the wonderful circle, the true purity and the clear mind is full of such false and delusional thoughts. Now you are practicing Buddha Samadhi, so because of the original random thoughts—"

The little monk staggered to the edge of the spring in the back mountain of Anle Temple. The surface of the spring was covered with a thin layer of ice, and when he stepped on it, the ice broke—the originally numb feet started to tingle... Shi Sora retracted his feet and looked at the night sky...

The moon is also bright tonight.

"If the precepts are fulfilled, there will be no mutual birth and killing in the world forever. Stealing and robbery will not work, there will be no burdens, and there will be no repayment of old debts in the world. It is a pure person who practices samadhi..."

Ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

Shi Kong saw the golden light floating from his body, he suddenly couldn't feel the cold... On the contrary, there was a warm current flowing through his body - when the ice in the spring broke and melted, standing by the spring The little monk widened his eyes slightly, looking at the silver dragon lying under the ice in the water...

The dragon opened its eyes, then broke out of the ice, soared into the sky, and danced around the head of the little monk. Finally, it landed on the pine branch and turned into a human form——

Tall figure, familiar handsome face and a pair of red pupils, the only difference is that he is dressed in a white robe traced with snow and gold, as cold as a god descending from the earth.

"who are you?"

"I don't have a name, I just transform your body into a dragon soul, and I will help you slay demons and demons, and achieve great things."

"You need a name."

"unnecessary."

"It's called Tunfo."

"……As you wish."
