The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Gu Xiangtan looked at the old monk with a slight smile, and called out respectfully, "Master Abbot..."

Even though Abbot Guanshi has gone through several generations of living Buddhas, seeing Gu Xiangtan like this now, there is a trace of regret in his eyes.

Gu Xiangtan tremblingly handed over the thin paper in his hand.

Guan Shi took it and called him suddenly.

"Wake up..."

wake up.

That day when Gu Xiangtan left home and Beijing at the age of seven, the mother of the Gu family hugged her son and whispered softly, as if she had already expected the end of the yin and yang separation, and only suffered from not being able to see her son grow up.

After returning to Xiangguo Temple, Abbot Guanshi wrote two characters for Gu Xiangtan: wake up.

Gu Xiangtan remembered that he asked in a daze: Is this my watch?

Abbot Guanshi looked into Gu Xiangtan's eyes and said: If you receive the precepts, this is your dharma name, if you fail to... get the weak crown, this is your surname.

After a while, the abbot put the calligraphy in Gu Xiangtan's hand, and said solemnly: "I hope you can wake up and understand it, and be patient and cautious."

Now, Gu Xiangtan couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard the call again, and then smiled wryly.

"Although I think I have not failed the world... I have not failed Daye, but I have failed the Buddha, the master, and... you, even more..."

that person.

The abbot's admonition didn't pay attention to him after all, he understood it but couldn't wake up, was careful but couldn't bear it, couldn't see through the world of mortals, couldn't let go of love and hatred.In the final analysis, this result was nothing but his own fault, Gu Xiangtan.

Abbot Guanshi shook his head, "Wake up, there is God's will in the dark, whether it is evil or good, it is all fate."

Gu Xiangtan's heart moved, but his body suddenly lost his strength and fell down. His brows and eyes gradually became blurred, and the whole world began to spin.

Seeing this, Abbot Guanshi proclaimed the dharma call again, retreated to a corner of the bed, held the Buddhist beads in his hand, and began to chant sutras softly.

Outside the door, Su Xi and An Yin could not kneel for a long time. Hearing the "Ksitigarbha Fundamental Vow Sutra" humming in the inner room, Su Xi howled, touched his forehead to the ground, and kowtowed his head heavily.

After hearing the news behind him, the dignitaries who had already been standing in the courtyard couldn't help but also knelt down.

Great Yeling Buddha, the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, only the real dragon can stand side by side with him. Zhao Su has not yet sat on the ninety-five throne. At this moment, according to the ancestors, he should also kneel, but he stood there in a daze, His eyes were empty, and the next moment he came back to his senses, he went straight to the inner room.

No one dared to stop him, only Su Xi and An Yin, who jumped up twice, hurriedly followed behind Zhao Su to stop him.

Zhao Su threw them away one by one with one palm, and rushed to the bed and shouted, "Can't Lingfo know the past and the future life and death? How did you save Zhao Yuan and the late emperor? Why can't you even save your own life! You shitty Bodhisattva, shitty Tathagata!"

These words are so rebellious and immoral that everyone who heard them in the outer room trembled like chaff, wishing to goug their eyes and ears, so as not to see or hear.

Abbot Guanshi just shook his head over and over again, and continued to silently recite the scriptures for salvation.

On the bed, Gu Xiangtan, who was as vigorous as a silk, was able to smile slightly even though he was struggling in the darkness. He exhausted all his strength to say the last sentence in this life.

"Because...I really can't bear to let...Yuanqing...go alone..."

After saying that, the faint candle on the table suddenly went out!

In the huge inner room, there was only dead silence, and it took a long time before the sound of An Yin and Su Xi's forbearing sobbing could be heard.

Zhao Su quietly stared at the completely silent person in front of him. For a moment, his knees softened, and finally he fell straight down on his knees!

……

Zhao Yuan, I once laughed at you for being stupid. If you love such a person bitterly, you will give everything you have and nothing will be returned.

Today I found out that I am so envious that you gave up your country and your life.

Finally got this exquisite heart...

Zhao Su swayed, suppressed the fishy and sweet taste in his chest, kowtowed three times to Lingfo's dead body upright, then rearranged his eyebrows, walked out of the room with Abbot Guanshi, and listened to his smoothing The tone announced to the world.

"Da Ye No. 11 Dai Ling Buddha passed away."

-

In a daze, Gu Xiangtan seemed to hear crying. His whole body was limp and his hands and feet were weak, but his head slowly regained consciousness, his eyelashes trembled, and then he managed to open them.

The crying at the bedside stopped, and suddenly changed to a sharp cry, calling out, "Anyin, Anyin, the young master is awake, the young master is awake..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of footsteps, and another boy's voice sounded beside the bed, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up..." He was obviously relieved.

Gu Xiangtan rolled his eyes, and when his eyes touched the two talking by the bed, he paused suddenly.

Seeing that the young master had stopped moving suddenly, Su Xi felt slightly frightened on his face, so he boldly touched Gu Xiangtan's forehead, "It's still a little hot, why don't you ask Master Guan Yun to take a look?"

An Yin agreed, but the two were about to get up when their sleeves were grabbed.

Gu Xiangtan looked at the face in front of him with a familiar look, but a boy in his teens and a boy in his twelfth or thirteen years, all kinds of inexplicable dazed and complicated expressions flashed in his eyes, and finally he was frozen in amazement and horror!

After a while, Gu Xiangtan asked tremblingly in a hoarse voice.

"what happened?"

……

Outside the door of the Buddhist hall, Xiao Su Xi and Xiao An Yin sat on the steps and talked.

"Is the young master really alright? He's been in there for three days, and the things I sent in haven't touched a single bite."

An Yin sighed, "Such a big incident happened in the mansion, and the young master is recovering from a serious illness. He might not be able to figure it out in a while."

Speaking of this, Su Xi couldn't help wiping away his tears, "Master and Madam are so kind, and they never treat the servants harshly, who is so cruel... who wants to... actually wants... woo..." Thinking of this, Xiao Suxi lay on his knees and began to cry.

An Yin was afraid that he would disturb the people in the Buddhist hall, so she hurriedly patted Su Xi's back to comfort him, but this matter was too heartbreaking, not to mention what would happen to the young master, even they couldn't bear to think about it.

"Those monks in Xiangguo Temple are really unreliable. They say that they don't care about the mundane world, but they are all heartless. They can't help you at all except to let the young master enlighten himself. I don't know when Mr. Fu will come back." Su Xi complained while wiping tears.

"Why don't I go find the young master in the front yard?"

This suggestion made Su Xi very agreeable, "Okay, okay..." Although the young master is cold, but in this wilderness yard, the two of them can barely be companions, "And the young master also saved the young master His life." Why should he be concerned at this moment.

When it was too late, the two children immediately got up and ran away.

……

Inside the Buddhist hall, Gu Xiangtan bowed and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue.

The incense in the incense burner burned to the end, and the ash fell down, wiped off the altar, and splashed onto Gu Xiangtan's hand on the ground. I saw bloodstains all over his wrist, which was as thin as jade, some of which were deep enough to see the bone, dripping The dazzling blood that came out dyed the corner of the futon red.

Gu Xiangtan moved, and finally raised his head.

In front of him was the haggard, haggard dying man on the sick bed just before, the young man in front of him had soft facial features, warm eyebrows and eyes, apart from being a little tired, he looked safe and healthy, without any trace of sickness on his face , and only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Gu Xiangtan stared at the Buddha and looked at each other for a while, then sighed softly.

"Disciple, I can't comprehend..."

The stabbing pain on his wrist told Gu Xiangtan that this was not a dream, but no matter whether Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, this must be God's will. However, Gu Xiangtan still didn't understand whether this was given to him by the Buddha or not. A trial, or another tribulation?

At this time, Zhao You was still in power in the Daye Dynasty, the emperor was not dead, the three kings were not dead, and that person... was not dead either.

If the Buddha asked him to do it all over again in order to redeem the mistakes he made in the past and save the lives of those who should not have passed away, then why did he let him wake up on that day?

His parents, his whole family was bloodbathed just three days ago, from the 80-year-old great-grandmother down to the desperate cousin, [-] people died, but only one day away, only one day away!Was it the Buddha's intention, intentional, or God's will to trick people, but it was just to punish him for Gu Xiangtan's sins!

Gu Xiangtan couldn't figure it out, and with his never-steady Buddha heart, he couldn't understand the meaning of the Buddha, so he got up staggeringly, opened the door, and walked towards Xiangguo Temple two miles away.

Just as he walked out of the courtyard, Gu Xiangtan's footsteps froze suddenly!

I saw a few figures approaching not far away, and the small ones on both sides were obviously young An Yin and Su Xi, and when he saw the slender young man in white clothes coming in the middle, Gu Xiangtan was shocked. Immediately my heart was shocked!

In an instant, he seemed to understand...
