Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

Tick, tick, snow dripped down the eaves into the soil, and the land that had been covered by snow for several days finally showed its withered face. The towering tree standing in front of the Buddhist monastery was full of branches, but it was lifeless like an old man. .

The intermittent sound of the strings came from under the eaves, and the timbre was just right, but it was a pity that the business couldn't be done, and the palace couldn't be tuned.Li Yun sat cross-legged under the eaves in boredom, unconsciously fiddled with the distant mountain in front of him with one hand, and played with a delicate and small jade comb with the other.

It was approaching the New Year's Eve, and the heavy snow had melted away. Presumably, Ganan Temple should have returned to its formerly prosperous appearance, but the place should be extremely remote, and within a few days, Li Yun had never heard any lively atmosphere.And since returning from the pagoda that day, the old bald donkey found out that he could move freely after leaving Jingyan, so he recalled Jue Ming without any sympathy, and came to make fun of his slightly embarrassed appearance every day. It is extremely hateful.Fortunately, the little monk woke up, otherwise he would have gone crazy if he let himself spend his days on the cook.

Li Yun thought so far, his right hand froze, and the sound of strings suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the jade comb in his hand, and he couldn't help but sighed softly.

Ever since he was wanted, he no longer had any hope of returning to Beijing. If it is said that relying on the Li family's century-old military exploits, he can make a group of people come to rescue them without fear of life and death. If there is no pushing hand, he will not believe it.In order not to become anyone's pawn, I also don't want people who didn't know each other to ruin their lives in vain.Therefore, he chose to die and choose to be free.

but……

Fate seems to have played a joke on itself.

he did die,

but……

he lived

And now,

He doesn't want to die.

"Little monk, do you have any regrets? Regret for saving me." Li Yun suddenly turned his head and looked at Jing Yan who was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the room. Since he woke up the day before yesterday, he didn't know what the old bald donkey said to the little monk. What, the little monk finally returned to normal, and no longer mentioned the matter of going to the Buddha Pagoda, but his words and expressions lost a lot.However, when he was young, he lived a life like an old monk. Even the little bit of popularity that had been slightly contaminated before was wiped out in meditation, and his body was full of Buddha's breath, which made Li Yun a little restrained for a while. "Regret, it's useless. Since it's useless, why bother to regret it."

"But I regret it. I know it's useless, but I still regret it. Maybe this is the difference between me being a layman and you being a Buddha." Li Yun smiled, but his tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

"Now the little monk is just like a benefactor, just a layman in the Buddhist sect. How can we talk about the Buddha's body?"

"Now that you have lost your relic body, you can't be a monk protecting the pagoda, and you can't cultivate the fruit of the Tao. Hateful? Can you complain?" The ups and downs of life are nothing more than this.Like him, like yourself.The scenery was beautiful one moment before, but it was crushed into mud the next second.

It's human, it's Buddha, it's all like this.

"You don't have to worry about it, since the little monk has a Buddha in his heart, why not be afraid of not becoming a Buddha in his body. In the past, the Buddha sacrificed himself to feed an eagle, but now the little monk just lost the body of the relic. As long as the Buddha's heart remains, the fruit of the Tao will survive."

Hearing Jing Yan's answer, Li Yun couldn't help shaking his head. Although Jing Yan is a holy monk who is sung by everyone and lived in legends, but he has fallen into the mortal world, but he is like a toddler, who has never known the taste of life.Li Yun couldn't help but refute such naive remarks.

"What if the Buddha rejects you, spits on you, and abandons you?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yun obviously felt that Jing Yan's originally straight back was slightly suffocated. Li Yun waited for a while, but Jing Yan didn't see a sound. conversation, but could hear footsteps approaching behind him.

"I get it, I am lucky; I lose it, my life. The Buddha's intention is so, we should follow our orders."

Jing Yan was wearing a green monk robe, and although her feet were still bare, they were spotless.The eyebrows are still the same, but the aura of the whole person has become more dusty. Now standing under the eaves, his eyes are looking into the distance, his voice is elegant, without any waves, and his face is peaceful, like an exiled fairy.

Perhaps only he himself knows about the endless twists and turns in his heart at this moment. Once the obsession in his heart is planted, it will be unforgettable.

"Little monk, now you can't be a pagoda monk, how about returning to the vulgar?" Li Yun joked, but a gloomy inexplicable flashed in his downcast eyes.

He has not been idle in the past few days. After several trials, Li Yun based on the information disclosed by the old bald donkey and what the little monk master said to himself, he pieced together a little bit, and came up with a solution for the little donkey. Not good news for monks.

Monks who have lost their qualifications to protect the pagoda may find it difficult to enter Buddhism.

"Amitabha, benefactor, don't lie. Since the little monk has escaped from Buddhism, he should worship the Buddha wholeheartedly." Jing Yan tilted his head and nodded slightly, only taking Li Yun's words as a joke in his spare time.It's just that when his eyes fell on Li Yun's hand, he couldn't help but pause. If he remembered correctly, this comb...

Seeing that Jing Yan didn't plan to return to vulgarity, Li Yun wanted to ridicule a few more words, but when he saw his gaze fell on the jade comb, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Little monk, I have a problem in my heart. I have been thinking hard for a few days, but I can't solve it. Can you help me to understand one or two things." Before Jing Yan could answer, Li Yun said again, "You know, this comb is a long comb. Hu Po was given to her by her brother, but she didn't know that her boudoir name was Xu Qingxuan. She was originally the daughter of King Huai'an. But she still maintains her boudoir status, committing crimes if she refuses, presumably this is also the reason why Li Zhi became angry and hurt her by mistake when he couldn't ask for it."

Jing Yan looked at the serious Li Yun in astonishment upon hearing this, "Benefactor, how do you know this?"

"That day in the ice mound, I found the cinnabar on his wrist." Li Yun sighed: "There were rumors about what happened back then, and the three became tigers. The king of Huai'an was furious and felt that he was hurting the system, so he erased the amber from the genealogy. Now with this bit of cinnabar, he can prove his innocence, but..." Li Yun showed a wry smile, he is not a saint, he has his own selfishness.This bit of cinnabar is enough to prove that the person chosen by the elder brother is not bad, and he will not disappoint the love and love of the elder brother.

It's just that this loving couple can't stay together, and now that he got his body by chance, Li Yun had the idea that he and his elder brother should share the same clothes.But when the incident happened that day, the king of Huai'an was filled with shame and resentment, and proposed to dissolve the engagement several times. Although his eldest brother refused repeatedly, the king of Huai'an begged for the emperor's favor, and with the power of a saint, forcibly dissolved the engagement between the two.The elder brother couldn't help it, since that day he cut off his righteousness with the Huai'an Palace and has nothing to do with him.Now if they are forced to have the same acupoints, although no one will know, it will be unfair after all.But the grievance that Hu Po bears is hard to settle in this life, if this is the case, it is unfair to Hu Po.

However, if Amber is sent back to Huai'an Palace, Amber's body will be moved to the ancestral grave.Although it can wash away the resentment, but this is too cruel to the elder brother. The two love each other, but they are born in different beds and die in different acupuncture points.

This... two difficult choices, how to choose, made Li Yun hesitate.

"Benefactor...?" Seeing Li Yun staring at the jade comb without speaking for a long time, Jing Yan couldn't help interrupting his thoughts.

Li Yun raised his head, stretched out two fingers, shook in front of Jing Yan, and said with a straight face: "I have two choices now, if I do what a gentleman does, I will send Amber back to Huai'an Palace; Just for the sake of self-dressing and joining the grave with my elder brother. According to your opinion, how should I choose."

Jing Yan pondered for a moment, and replied: "There are no two perfect methods in the world, and the benefactor only needs to do as he pleases."

Hearing such an answer, Li Yun couldn't help but sneer at Jing Yan.Sure enough, people of Buddhism and Taoism are compassionate, and they are full of people who are bluffing and deceiving.The little monk is so ignorant of the world that he has already started to play tricks. He really deserves to be the monk of the Canaan Temple, just like the old bald donkey who is full of compassion.

Li Yun lay back, curled up his whole body in the rattan chair without any image, ignored the astonished Jing Yan, and rubbed the jade comb in his hand with both hands. Hu Po's body was buried together with her elder brother's clothes and clothes, regardless of his benevolence, righteousness and morality.But if this is the case, I am afraid that the spirit of the eldest brother in the sky will not rest, alas...

Li Yun let out a long sigh, let it go, let it go,

This life does not care about the afterlife, and the living does not care about the dead.

The gentleman is open-minded, and the villain is often relative.

Just let him be a gentleman for a while, and in the future...

Think of another way.

Li Yun stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, put the jade comb in his hand into his bosom, raised his head towards Jingyan, and slightly hooked his lips: "The Buddha said, without a surname, she will not enter reincarnation, she should not be reduced to a lonely ghost. Now New Year's Eve is approaching, I don't know if the little monk is willing to send him back to the clan with me."

"Amitabha, kindness, kindness! Since the little monk has formed karma with the female benefactor, it is only natural to give her a ride." Hearing Li Yun's words, Jing Yan couldn't help but bowed to Li Yun and performed a Buddha ceremony, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, It can be seen that Li Yun's choice is in line with his heart.

"It's really shameless to the extreme."

Jing Yan didn't argue. Seeing Jing Yan's previously tightly locked brows loosened, he knew that he must have other ideas in his mind. Since Li Yun didn't say anything, Jing Yan couldn't ask further questions. He turned his head and his eyes fell on On the Futu Pagoda not far away, the fingers scattered beside him slightly exerted force. He did not tell Li Yun that he had become an abandoned disciple, so as not to feel guilty. On that day, he will go out of Beijing to pick up the Buddha.

Moreover, the senior brother has already informed about the matter of the senior uncle, and in order to avenge the hatred of digging the bones, this implicated the whole family of Li's family in this catastrophe.This time, the uncle will definitely stop him from going out of the capital. Now that he is a national teacher, he can be said to be more than one person and under ten thousand people. I am afraid that this journey will be full of difficulties, although he does not want to implicate Li Yun again.However, only relics can perceive where the Buddha is, and relics have been integrated with Li Yun.

It's just that I don't know if Li Yun will agree to such a request.

The road ahead is long and everything is unknown.

The water is deep and the sea of ​​fire is deep, but they can only explore with difficulty and struggle to survive.
