Buddha's Book of Beauty

Chunyue only needs half a day of class every day to learn the basic theory of practice, and the instructor who gives the lectures is not fixed.In the rest of the time, you can go to Zangshu Pavilion on your own or be led by your instructor to the already open Trial Peak and other places to experiment and study.

In this first class, Ziqi led all the disciples to learn "seeing oneself in the mirror" in the Bodhi Water Pavilion.The mirror here is not a real mirror, but a metaphor to teach disciples to understand their own karma and obsessions.

At the Bodhi Water Pavilion, there is a high pavilion surrounded by water, and there are high platforms standing in the water.Each disciple sits on a high platform with a circular Bodhi stone pattern. This high platform has the effect of magnifying the evil and pain of the human heart. It is also possible to spend dozens of days on this fee; if he enters the meditation quickly, he will come out in half an hour. At that time, the high platform will automatically carry him away and rest aside.This class does not test cultivation, but only concentration.

After about a stick of incense, only two "plops" were heard, and Fu Qi and Ruan Mei fell into the water one after another. Although He Shou was a little on the verge of falling, he was still able to settle down.After another half an hour, Mu Qi fell into the water, but He Shou sat more still.Gu Tao, Rongyu, Yan Anzang, and others were still in meditation. The first one to come out of meditation was Yan Yaoling, who opened his eyes. Bodhisattva moved up the platform and passed by Yan Anzang. The surrounding disciples were all in meditation. Seeing that there was nothing serious here, he went to look at the music score that Boya gave him.

A water talisman rose gently, slipped under Yan Anzang's high platform, and disappeared without a sound.Yan Yaoling looked as usual, got off the high platform, saluted Ziqi, said that she wanted to go back and rest, Ziqi nodded, and she left.

The second person who came out of samadhi was Rong Yu, he glanced at Yan Anzang, saw that he was frowning, wondering if he had thought of something painful.He glanced at Gu Tao again, and there was something wrong with her expression, so he sat in the pavilion with Ziqi and waited.

Gu Tao was the third to come out of meditation, followed by Su Liquan, Shen Shu, Mu Qi, Yang Ange, and Ruan Mei. After about two hours, Yan Anzang also came out of meditation. At this time, more than half of the disciples came out. It's settled, the remaining disciples who are more serious are still struggling.

Gu Tao was already hungry, and seeing that Yan Anzang had come out, he took his elder brother and him to the food garden for dinner. Along the way, Yan Anzang was rarely silent.Gu Tao saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked his brother to ask, but he slipped out first.

Seeing Shen Shu in the distance, I wanted to go up to say hello, but Xing Xiaoyao came over. This second senior brother was still in the way of etiquette when we first met, and he was quite polite to the new disciple.But after getting along for a long time, he knew that he was a casual person, and he was open when he spoke. Gu Tao didn't want to agree to him at this time, so he changed his direction and left.

Seeing Xing Xiaoyao approaching, Shen Shu bowed politely, "Second Senior Brother, hello."

"What a fart!" Xing Xiaoyao was scolded by Jun Zhu because of his lack of practice. He got up in the morning and was scolded. There is no one of the crab meat dumplings I love.Meeting someone at this moment, feeling irritable, he used her as a punching bag.

"Senior brother seems to be in a bad mood, so I won't bother you." Shen Shu was well-mannered and didn't get angry, so she bowed and left.

"Stop, brother, shall I let you go?" People who walk freely hate rules, and when they see people who abide by rules, they will always say a few words.Every time Shen Shu met him, there was no wrong move in etiquette, and her demeanor was like Fang Zheng's italics, which made him angry when he saw it.In the past, I kept silent and didn't mention it, but today, when I was angry, I broke out at the same time.

"Junior Sister Shen Shu, since you called me Senior Brother, I will speak directly."

Shen Shu didn't want to listen to his nonsense, but because of etiquette, he was Junju's disciple, so she asked him to continue.

"You said that the most important thing to be a human being is to be free and unrestrained. Although a practitioner has many rules, you are too disciplined. This person, once the rules are too much, there is no fun. People like you Everyone is a lady, Shengjing is as numerous as a cow's hair. Men are all happy, funny, clever and beautiful, you..." He looked at Shen Shu's only delicate face, "You don't occupy these things, what will happen in the future?"

Xing Xiaoyao's words were so exaggerated, but Shen Shu was still not annoyed, she just smiled lightly and said, "Brother, is it finished?"

Shen Shu could still laugh at this time, Xing Xiaoyao looked at her disguise, and felt even more irritable, "What a boring junior sister! You go!"

Shen Shu turned around, moved lightly, and left.

At that time, several disciples were strolling around, and happened to come across this scene, so they spread the word, and Su Liquan heard about it.Fearing that the rumors were groundless, Su Liquan went to confront Xing Xiaoyao face to face.

When Xing Xiaoyao saw the person coming, he was stunned for a while, and saw the Biren Pei around her waist - this was what General Su ordered Su Liquan to wear, saying that she would understand when she arrived in Chunyue.After hearing Shen Shu's questioning, Xing Xiaoyao let out a "hum" and admitted, "I thought it was a big deal? I'm telling the truth, she is indeed a meaningless person!"

Xing Xiaoyao's mouth was very unforgiving, he thought that he was a senior brother after all, and Su Liquan would have some respect for him, so he would never contradict him, or even fight with him.Who knew that before he finished speaking, a sword was placed around his neck.

"Hey, don't do it, if you kill me, you, you..." Xing Xiaoyao blushed, and carefully leaned his neck out as much as possible.

"How?" She still remembered that this guy said that he looked like a man when they first met, and now she is mocking Shen Shu again, and he won't remember it unless he is taught a lesson.

"I...I'm going to fight it out! The biren pendant you are wearing is the half of the woman's, and the other half is with me." His tone was firm, not like lying.

Su Liquan knew that this Bi Renpei was originally a pair, half of it belonged to her, and the other half belonged to her husband-in-law who married her from the pulp of her little finger. Could it be that the foolish person in front of him was his husband-in-law whom he hadn't communicated with for a long time? ?By the way, she remembered that her father said that the person's surname was Xinglai... Xing Xiaoyao looked at her face, and knew that she had some impressions, and said: "You still don't take it away? Otherwise, you will go through the door in the future, why not?" Husband will take good care of you!"

"Get out of here! Just like you, you don't have a good practice, you can't hold a sword steadily, and you want to be my husband-in-law, I won't serve you! Oh, there are so many things recently, I forgot to tell my father, and this year will be the latest , I will definitely throw the letter of resignation in your face!" Su Liquan moved the tip of the sword, slowly slid up, quickly cut off a strand of his hair, and then drew the sword neatly.

"You..." Xing Xiaoyao is beautiful and unrestrained, he never cares about others, only they chase after him.Now that he has said that he wants to marry her, this girl doesn't go down the slope, but becomes more and more arrogant.

"Oh, and, how much do you know about Shen Shu, so you dare to jump to conclusions like this? You say she is upright, boring, and hypocritical, but what about you? But you can only prove that you are interesting by belittling others. , in fact, you are the one who is most afraid of others denying you, right?"

Xing Xiaoyao's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists in anger, but he didn't punch out after all.

"Remember, if I talk about her like that again in the future, my Li Quan sword will never forgive me!" Su Li Quan gave a light snort and left after saying these words.

Xing Xiaoyao stood there blankly, no one had ever spoken of him so harshly, most of the people in the clan were flattering and flattering, although the senior brother occasionally criticized him, it was not too much.Master's lectures are also to the point.Today I was suddenly pierced through the mask, although I am very upset, but what is the reason for this inexplicable joy?Could it be that he was happy to be scolded or beaten?

After Su Liquan left, he planned to go back to his room, but suddenly changed his course and went to Shen Shu's place.Walking halfway, I met Shen Shu who also came to look for her. She said that Xing Xiaoyao had just apologized.Apologizing so quickly?Su Liquan suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, Shen Shu took her into the room and put a thin robe on her.

"Changxia, it doesn't have to be like this, he's right." Shen Shu didn't show any anger on her face.

"You always hide your thoughts, you don't have to do that in front of me!" Su Liquan felt thirsty and drank a cup of tea.

"Actually, I don't care what other people say. In this life, it is enough to be trusted by one person." She didn't look at Su Liquan, but just lowered her head.

"Hey, Ah Jing, don't you like me?" Su Liquan teased her.

"Why? You and I are both women..." Shen Shu's voice was low.

"Hey, look at you, you are a top-notch female worker, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also smart. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you!" She drank the tea in her cup in one gulp.

"Really... If you were a man, would you like me?" Shen Shu raised her head, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course, we can't take advantage of those stinky men outside!" Su Liquan became angry when he thought of his marriage contract with Xing Xiaoyao.

Shen Shu smiled slightly, tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Liquan.Su Liquan looked at Shen Shu's overly good-looking eyes, then at her delicate face, and said, "Ah Jing, do you really want to carry this □□ for the rest of your life? Don't girls want others to praise them for their good looks? Look at that Ruan Mei, who wears makeup all day long, the smell of makeup on her body kills me!"

But listening to Su Liquan's joke, Shen Shu didn't smile, but just hooked the hair in front of Gou's ears, like a precious and obedient Persian cat, "Yeah, many people don't like this face. I'll be more at ease with the mask."

"As long as you feel good about yourself, I just don't like people always talking about your face." Although that hateful Xing Xiaoyao looks good, he can't judge people by their appearance like this. What's more, if Shen Shu takes off the mask, It will surely surprise him.

"It's just a skin, don't worry about it." Shen Shu chuckled, "By the way, Changxia, how is Uncle?" The situation in the court is a little unstable, and General Su will inevitably be affected.

"Father knows how to protect himself and has written to tell me not to worry."

"That's good, cough cough." Shen Shu coughed twice, Su Liquan said: "Why is your body getting worse in recent years? You should take good care of it."

"I know, Changxia, you go back first, I'll just rest for a while."

"Okay, you rest first, I'm leaving!" Shen Shu smiled at her, watched her close the door and leave, took out a blue and white spittoon, vomited violently, touched her stomach, smiled palely, and then took out a blue and white spittoon The small bottle, took out three white pills, took it, and went to bed to rest.

The days of practicing passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was April [-]th, which was also the day when Jun Zhu promised to meet Xiao Ai.

Jun sat upright, looking at the handsome man in the mirror through the clouds, with a playful smile on his face, very displeased.

As soon as Xiao Ai opened his mouth, he said an unpleasant sentence: "Your master will not come back."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Jun Ju gave him a blank look.

"I really don't understand. This kind of world is dirty, filthy, and bloody. What you try to protect is nothing more than a handful of loess in the end. Why are you so persistent?"

"You don't care!" Jun Ju felt that he really shouldn't have saved this guy back then, so he just let him fend for himself and be beaten to death by others, so he wouldn't have to suffer from his poisonous tongue and pestering every month.In fact, Xiao Ai is not a human being, but a weed at the foot of the wall of Izumo Temple, a royal temple in Shengjing. He often listens to Buddhism outside the Buddhist gate, but it took 500 years to cultivate human form.Although the Buddhists have the virtue of being good at life, they didn't get rid of this stinky weed, but pedestrians who came and went in a hurry would always trample on it, and no one took care of it, so the branches and leaves withered and yellowed, and the roots swayed.So even if he takes human form, he still has low spiritual power, with a sallow, emaciated, shaky appearance.After cultivating the human form as a Buddha spirit, he has to eat when he is hungry, hide from the rain when it is cold, sleep when he is sleepy, and get hurt and sick.Although he was born charming and charming, but his face was covered with black and gray, and his clothes were tattered. No one would pay close attention to his appearance, and they just avoided him from a distance.There are kind-hearted monks in the temple, but they can't be the masters; there are those who don't want to see him, but those who can be the masters, don't like him wandering around here, and offend the nobles who come to worship.

A few newly ordained monks saw that he was weak and deceitful, and often beat him in places where no one was around. There were many rules and regulations in the temple, and the diet was bland and tasteless.One day, a monk poured rice washing water on his face, and after seeing his true appearance, he became lustful.But he would rather die than follow suit, so the monk called some of his usual friends, dragged him to a remote place in the woods behind Lindao, and beat him together.It happened that Junji passed by at that time, so he pretended to be a tiger and scared off the group of monks.

Xiao Ai smiled at the group of monks, Shengjing Wangcheng, the center of the city, where did the wild tigers come from?While watching the young man in green clothes walking towards him, the hem of the robe embroidered with bamboo patterns was getting closer and closer to him, the man squatted down, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped off the wet water stains on his head.Between the young man's brows is a bright and clear look, like a clear spring, washing away his hatred for this world...

"Xiao Ai, why are you suddenly quiet?" Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Jun Zhu spoke a little louder.

Xiao Ai regained his composure, and said: "I know, you are guarding this world for him."

Jun Yu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond, and after a while, he said: "I'm not that noble, but this time is too long, I have to find something to do."

"You... still don't see the spring moon? It's been 1000 years..."

"No...he, he will come back." Junju's eyes flickered slightly.

"Oh, yeah, he'll be back, maybe in 1000 years, maybe in 2000, who knows?"

"I'm tired today, so I won't talk to you anymore." Jun Zhu cut off the conversation with him, holding the ice soul jade in his hand, and sat blankly, why didn't he know that what Xiao Ai said was not empty words, but he I just want to wait, 1000 years, 2000 years, no matter how long it takes.

"Master..." A drop of clear tears fell on the jade, the jade was still cold, only the place where Jun Zhu held it was slightly warm.
