after rebirth

The courtyard of Master Abbot always seemed very deserted, and the little novice sat in front of the courtyard with a bun in his hands, waiting like a little squirrel.Seeing the person coming from a distance, the little monk's eyes lit up, he ate the cornbread in his hand in two or three bites, walked over quickly, and smiled silly at the person coming.

"Good morning, little master!" Du Jinrong smiled and leaned over to say hello to the little novice.

The little monk blushed slightly, and nodded shyly, "Hi, my name is Xiaojing."

"Well, hello, Master Xiaojing." Du Jinrong took Xiaojing's hand, and the two walked towards the abbot's yard, leaving Zhao Hengxu behind.

Going around to the back garden, under a tall elm tree, there is a small stone table and chairs. Abbot Huineng likes to sit quietly under the tree after finishing his morning class, watching the changes in the forest lightly, drinking a cup of With tea, a plate of pine nuts, and a book with a rough edge, you can live a day.Hearing the sound, Master Huineng turned around, with a natural smile on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were very kind.

Du Jin was surprised. He thought that Master Huineng would look like the emperor's uncle. He looked like a fairy, mysterious and unpredictable, and his body was full of the ethereal aura of Buddhism. But the reality is that Master Huineng looked very thin and sickly. The skin is very dark, like a poor old farmer who has worked in the fields for many years and has not been able to get enough of the harvest.

Zhao Hengxu frowned deeply. If it weren't for Huineng's unique temperament, he wouldn't even recognize the shriveled old man in front of him as Huineng! ?

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Master Huineng stood up holding the stone table, Xiaojing ran over quickly to support Huineng, and leaned against Huineng's side obediently and trustingly, Huineng touched Xiaojing lovingly "Xiao Jing, how about going to play with Mr. Du?"

Xiaojing looked up at Huineng, "Master?"

"Go, don't you like him very much?" Hui Neng pushed Xiao Jing's shoulder.

Xiaojing took a step forward, and looked back at Huineng reluctantly, "Master, Xiaojing will stay with you..."

Before Xiao Jing could finish speaking, Huineng said, "Master and Your Majesty have something to say."

"Oh." Xiao Jing replied dejectedly, and came to Du Jinrong's side step by step, looking at Du Jinrong with her big watery eyes blinking, like a small abandoned animal, with tears brewing in her eyes, ready to fall at any time drop down.

Du Jinrong raised her hand to touch Xiao Jing's face, "Xiao Jing, please take me to see the scenery, I haven't even looked at this place before."

"Oh." Xiaojing was not in a good mood.

Zhao Hengxu opened his mouth, and didn't ask Du Jinrong to stay until Du Jinrong left with a group of people. Under the eyes of Master Huineng who seemed to know everything, it seemed so difficult for Du Jinrong to stay.

"Your Majesty, please."

"Master please."

Zhao Hengxu sat down opposite Master Huineng, and Master Huineng poured Zhao Hengxu a cup of tea without politeness, and there was no cup for Zhao Hengxu on the table.Looking up at Master Huineng with a happy expression, he gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory, and then gradually separated. Zhao Hengxu wondered which one was the real him.In the previous life, Zhao Hengxu hadn’t been to Daxiangguo Temple for several years since he came to Beijing, and he only heard about the Dharma conference, so he took Du Jinrong there on a whim. How lively and lifelike the text is, but the free and easy nature between the lines reveals a detached and unrestrained nature, which is superb and fascinating. Unknowingly, the unhappiness and entanglement in the heart are let go, and the disturbances of external things become no longer important.

After listening to the scriptures, Zhao Hengxu should have left, but Hui Neng invited him to the back mountain, that is, sitting here, Hui Neng bluntly revealed his identity, and after saying something, Huineng gave him a string of beige beeswax hands string.

Zhao Hengxu lowered his head, and the beige beeswax bracelet hung on his wrist, which looked very abrupt under the indigo sleeves.At that time, Master Huineng had fair skin and a rosy complexion, and looked at all living beings, including Zhao Hengxu, with loving eyes, but now, he is clearly the same person, but his appearance is completely opposite, but the kindness revealed throughout his body has never changed. .

"Your Majesty, this old monk has been waiting for His Majesty to come, and the first class is a six-year-old." Master Huineng held the teacup in both hands, and said leisurely.

Zhao Hengxu frowned, "Master, what are you waiting for me?" He took off the beeswax bracelet in his hand, and pressed it firmly on the table, as if he wanted to press the bracelet into the stone table with great strength, "Which one of the past and present lives is the most important thing?" Is it true and which one is false, or is it just a dream now, when I wake up, I will still taste the heart-wrenching regret and longing alone in the empty palace. Master, tell me, tell me." Facing the indifferent Master Huineng, Zhao Hengxu suddenly yelled out uncontrollably. The uneasiness and confusion he had accumulated in his heart from the beginning of his rebirth to the occasional appearance of the beeswax bracelets were all defeated by Master Huineng's words as if reminiscing about the past.

"Past life and present life, Your Majesty, people live a life of grass and trees, and after the body dies, there is nothing left, and everything is fake." Master Huineng's eyes looked very young and bright compared with the thin and haggard Wai Man, Clean and transparent, with the open-minded indifference after experiencing the world, looking at it, Zhao Hengxu's excitement gradually calmed down.

"Master, if you say this, I don't understand. Could it be that I have never lived, so what is it now? What was it in the last life? Could it be that those bone-chilling coldness and loneliness are all a joke, but this joke is also a joke." Who said it, and for whom to see it?" The corners of Zhao Hengxu's mouth twitched in a mocking arc, but the muscles on his face were very stiff, so he looked very weird, as if he was mocking the world in pain , not suddenly after a great enlightenment, but completely at a loss after experiencing great sorrow and joy.

Master Huineng shook his head, "Your Majesty, you must find out if the false is true or the true is false?" After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Hengxu with a half-smile, "Your Majesty is afraid, afraid that everything now is Fake……"

"So what if you're afraid, Master doesn't have anything to be afraid of?" Zhao Hengxu frankly admitted the fear in his heart.

"I'm afraid——" Master Huineng's eyes suddenly became far away, and there was no sign of where he was. I was wrong at the beginning, just like this, it scares me!" Master Huineng took out an iron box from his sleeve pocket, and it was the one that Zhao Hengxu gave Xiaojing yesterday.

After opening it, there are eleven round black beads neatly stacked inside. In the iron box, the black beads look unusually mysterious. There is clearly sunlight shining directly on the beads, but no light is reflected, lifeless.

Master Huineng stretched out his hand and fiddled with it. The beads slipped across his fingertips. The fingers between the beads seemed to be eroded by darkness, and suddenly lost the luster of life that was not much.

"These beads are called soul beads. They are formed by the gathering of hostile energy emitted when life dies. They were given to me by a butcher friend of mine. Can you see something flowing inside, Your Majesty?" Master Huineng suddenly raised his head, his eyes He looked at Zhao Hengxu brightly.

Zhao Hengxu's heart tightened, and suddenly he felt that Master Huineng was scary at this time, and the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright. Under Huineng's almost staring gaze, Zhao Hengxu nodded. After nodding, he realized that this was not what he wanted to do at all.

"I couldn't do it before, but now I can. I didn't kill Boren Boren, but he died because of me. My hands are stained with too much murder, and I have a lot of hostility. Sooner or later, I have to pay back." Master Huineng suddenly With a relieved smile, "my friend said that if you gather 81 soul orbs and put them on the dragon's veins, you can change your luck, and if you change it well, you can benefit the common people. Before your Majesty ascended the throne, I saw a layer of black air covering the purple star in the sky. , calculated that His Majesty's hit is too hostile, and as an emperor, he will inevitably set off disputes and bring disaster to all living beings. Sigh..." Master Huineng sighed, twisted a soul bead into his mouth, and swallowed it with a slight movement of his Adam's apple.

Zhao Hengxu's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to stop him from speaking, but found that he lost control of his body at some point, and could only watch Master Huineng send soul beads into his mouth one by one, strangely , Master Huineng's complexion became more and more rosy, and his whole body was like a wrinkled apple that had been emptied of water. It was suddenly filled with water, or a high-quality fruit juice with a very high concentration, slowly filling up.

"At that time, I was too naive, thinking that I had the ability to change everything. Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable. The mahogany inlaid with soul beads was carved into a spell doll. His majesty's fate was changed, but he became the lone star of the devil. , You were already hit with a very strong hostility, but after changing it, it will be even more powerful. Abandoning your wife and son, and dying alone, this is your fate." After swallowing all the soul orbs, Master Huineng has recovered what Zhao Hengxu saw in his previous life. The face is even younger, and the passing years have returned to the body, "Later, the old man gave His Majesty a bracelet, thinking that the beeswax can change the luck and change the reversed fate to the right path. Only His Majesty can change it by wearing it. , but His Majesty gave it to someone else, and changed that person's life at the same time, you will be entangled, but you don't need him anymore."

"No! No!! No!!!" Zhao Hengxu shouted heart-piercingly: "Jinrong is mine, I need him." The hoarse voice seemed to be crying, with the strongest bitterness coming out of his chest, Zhao Heng couldn't imagine what he would be like without Du Jinrong.

"Your Majesty, I have already recognized him as my master. Wear it for him. It will keep him safe and sound." Master Huineng smiled lovingly, the smile was soft and erratic, very unreal, "I made a mistake. Let me correct your mistake. Your Majesty, the past and present lives are all yours. The past life gave you misery, and this life will give you happiness. The happiness of this life is exchanged for the loneliness of the past life. Remember, Your Majesty. Learn to cherish, learn to be grateful, you owe him everything in your past and present lives. Let go, let go of the past, cherish the present and the future, and know that he is by your side now."

The wind blows, blows the leaves of the pagoda tree, makes whirling noises, blows Zhao Hengxu's clothes, blows his hair, blows away the haze buried deep in his heart, are you relaxed?No, it's getting heavier, not a heavy burden, but a responsibility, to take care of and cherish the people around him for the rest of his life, Jin Rong, his Jin Rong!

"Your Majesty, let's go back. I have waited for sixty years and finally arrived today, but you still have a long way to go." Master Huineng's eyes were full of wisdom, but they were not as bright as they were at first.

Zhao Hengxu nodded, stood up, and bowed sincerely, "Thank you master for clarifying my doubts."

"No, I didn't do anything." Huineng smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, can you do me a favor?"

"Master, please tell me, I will not hesitate."

"Xiaojing's life is hard, and he suffered hardships when he was born, but he is destined to have a nobleman, so let him be with his nobleman? And I can't take care of him for a long time!"

"Okay." Zhao Hengxu agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you Your Majesty, Xiao Jing will help His Majesty in the future."

Zhao Hengxu smiled heartily, "Master Huineng, I, Zhao Hengxu, am not stingy enough to seek anything from a child."

"Your Majesty, don't blame me, it's the old monk's obsession."

The author has something to say: Master Huineng: I have completed my merits and virtues, and it is time to leave!

Butcher: Don't think about who the old man is, you can't find the old man in "The Empress"!

Soul Bead: I am just making soy sauce in this book, I also~~~
