Suzaku

: A Dream in Early Spring

This is a place of silence, this is a place where Buddha’s light shines everywhere.

What Buddha’s light is is nothing more than the feeling of some faint golden light adding to people’s hearts.

Yi Tianxing gently rubbed the tip of his nose, thinking this way in his heart, but found that he felt nothing, no fingers, no nose.

The pale golden light gradually diffused in this nothingness, and he was a little surprised to find that he couldn’t see his body, but only watched the changes in front of him through a pair of eyes.

Suddenly there was a palpitation.

Buddha’s light is everywhere, shining golden in the space. I don’t know when, the color of the light gradually changes, and there are layers of shades, one layer of thick gold is like red flames, and the other is light gold like sunset. , It is this kind of light superposition that makes Yi Tianxing feel extremely flustered in the space, and feels that these lights seem to be conscious existence.

As if to prove what he thought in his heart, a faint voice came from the depths of the Buddha’s light.

“find him”

This voice is very weird, it doesn’t look like it can’t be spoken by one person, but it can’t be heard by the addition of multiple accents. These three words were shouted out in the empty square.

“find him”

“Found Who”

Yi Tianxing floated in the space blankly, murmuring subconsciously.

No one answered him, the layers of glamorous Buddha’s brilliance kept changing in depth, and those three words kept coming out from the depths.

“find him”

“find him”

Yi Tianxing, who was floating in the endless space, finally got angry, his eyes narrowed and he shouted: “Who is playing Xuanxu?”

Deep in the Buddha Light fell into silence.

Suddenly the light in a certain place in the space distorted, a statue, a BodhisattvaLike a statue of a Bodhisattva holding a sword in his right hand and a lotus in his left hand, it is the treasure statue of Manjushri Wisdom Bodhisattva. It slowly appeared in front of his eyes in a way that Yi Tianxing could not understand. Floating and glowing, it seems that it may be annihilated at any time.

“It’s a pity that these Buddha-natures are floating in the world, but the unconscious words have not been forgotten.”

The Bodhisattva’s sandalwood mouth has not yet opened, but the language has arrived.

Yi Tianxing was in a daze, and wanted to bow down, but found that he had no body. After a while, he seemed to realize something, and he thought with a smile: “Why is there a big conspiracy behind all the stories? The protagonist has to step on the auspicious clouds to break this conspiracy.”

“Who is imprisoned and who is missing, why should I look for it?” He asked in a daze.

He didn’t know if what he saw was a dream or what.

If it is a dream, this dream seems too real. If it is not a dream, then everything in front of me cannot be explained at all. Why does this Bodhisattva’s spiritual consciousness enter his spiritual world, let alone understand what is behind those ten thousand Buddha lights? What a character.

Manjusri Bodhisattva still had the solemn expression that hadn’t moved for thousands of years, but some words hit Yi Tianxing’s heart lightly.

“When that person disappears, there will be disputes in the sky, and many losers will be laid down in the mortal world. This situation has been out of balance for a long time. The Buddha has the virtue of good life, so we must restore this situation.”

The Bodhisattva’s eyebrows are smooth and delicate, his eyes are closed and solemn, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows is very beautiful, but the words he speaks are very vague.

Yi Tianxing wanted to swallow his saliva nervously, but found that there was no saliva to swallow. He was not quite used to the feeling of his consciousness floating in the spiritual space, which felt like a real dream

“What is Dispute”

“There are thousands of paths to Buddhahood, but some paths are opposed by others.”

“Understood.” In the half-truth dream, Yi Tianxing still understood quickly, “The battle of ideas is the most pedantic, but also the most confused. I didn’t expect Xitian to still play with the Huashan Qizong Jianzong. ”

“Self-becoming Buddha, self-cultivating Buddha, the conflicts of thousands of years have intensified, and if that person does not appear again, I am afraid that more and more immortal Buddhas will be knocked down in the future, and the order of the Three Realms will be chaotic.”

“Bodhisattva is the teacher of all Buddhas, can’t he be reconciled with it”

Manjusri Bodhisattva’s eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened, and the light of the Buddha suddenly burst out from those pale blue pupils.

“The Buddha saves the world, but he cannot save himself.”

“Then what should I do?” Yi Tianxing suddenly felt a pain in his heart and was worried.

“Go find him.”

“why me”

“Because you are you.”

“The monks like to talk nonsense.” The boy still didn’t forget to slander habitually in the dream, and of course he didn’t forget to make an extremely respectful expression, but he didn’t know if the other party could see it or not.

“What should I do” has actually been asked several people intermittently since he came to the provincial capital, but unfortunately, no one has ever given him a definite answer.

“do fart”

Yi Tianxing was stunned, thinking how rough the Bodhisattva’s words were, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, the voice was quite familiar, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a ball of light floating above the spiritual space, with an extremely arrogant momentum, a wave of The power fluctuation swept far away towards the edge of the space.

“Go away to Lao Tzu”

The voice of the old ancestors chased those ten thousand Buddha lights in the space, cursing, scolding, and drinking fiercely.

The mysterious figures behind the Buddha’s light seemed to be quite frightened, the silence gradually dissipated, and the Buddha’s light of different levels gradually dissipated, leaving only endless darkness and a tyrannical light cluster rushing around in the whole space, and a statue Bodhisattva doppelgänger statue with bowed head and speechless.

The domineering light group flew in front of Yi Tianxing’s eyes, and gradually revealed his figure. He was dressed in a very worn-out yellow and cracked robe, which could not hide the great supernatural power and arrogance of the man under the robe.

“Old man Wenshu, don’t instigate my apprentice to work for you. Seeing how you gave me a diploma on Lingshan back then, I won’t make it difficult for you, so let’s go quickly.”

Manjusri Bodhisattva sighed softly imperceptibly: “The great sage has been in the lower realm for more than five hundred years, don’t you want to go back again?”

The old ancestor tilted his nose and rolled his eyes: “The cow is still a cow in Beijing, and I am still a monkey in Xitian. Why do I go back?”

The statues of Manjusri Bodhisattva’s avatar gradually dispersed, leaving behind this strange master and disciple.

“Why do I dislike Master and refuse to tell you the truth?”

Yi Tianxing smiled in a daze, “How dare you?”

“Then why do you ask these poor Buddhas?”

“Wronged” It’s a pity that he couldn’t pretend to be wronged in the dream, “These big people came to find me.”

“Think about it every day, dream about it at night, if you don’t think about it every day, how can these guys who have been relegated to the mundane world and lost their supernatural powers and Buddha nature long ago, be able to enter your dreams?”

“Duh” the ancestor pointed arrogantly with his index finger, “Go back”

“No, I don’t know anything yet”

“You need to know oil, rice, salt and vinegar to live a life, and you don’t need to know mother’s conspiracy stories.”

With this loud drink, Yi Tianxing woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the red oil congealed in the hot pot in front of him, a large pile of melon seed shells beside him, and the machine in front of him.The Philips color TV broadcasting the CCTV weather forecast.

There is a little snow on the body, it seems that the snow fell to the provincial capital last night.

It turned out to be a dream in early spring.

He rubbed his astringent eyes, turned around to face the hut, and said softly: “Master, you have to tell me what you should tell me, otherwise you will always feel that you are being kept in the dark by others when you are alive. This feeling is quite uncomfortable.” it is good.”

The voice of the old ancestor buzzing like Huang Zhong Dalu finally rang in his head: “Do you have the strength?”

Yi Tianxing smiled wryly, and touched the gold ring on the little finger of his right hand: “If it is said to be in the world, then I have some strength.”

“Then what’s the use of knowing”

Yi Tianxing shook his head: “If you have a staged goal, then you will have a sense of direction when doing things, and it will be easier to see results.”

“Alright then, go and kill all those little Taoist priests.”

The boy was speechless: “It’s more difficult.”

“”

“What should I do?” The young man finally confided a trace of impatience which was rare.

“Higher, faster and better”

“Strong fart” Yi Tianxing began to imitate his master’s swearing, “This is probably why the old man Gu Yong wants to let me take care of Pengfei Industry and Trade, and let me learn how to kill with blood and fire. When we meet real enemies in the future I will not be soft-hearted, master, you are not kind, you are obviously the one who made it bad, but you refuse to say it clearly, and you insist that you don’t know the old fox, so you are coaxing someone’s child?”

The old ancestor smiled: “It’s always a stupid thing to guess.”

“Don’t hide it with a smile.” Yi Tianxing said unhappily, “How can your glorious image be connected with a mediocre role like a military advisor?”

“Munzi” heard this guy’s stinging words, and the old ancestor couldn’t hold back, “If it wasn’t for fear that you would die too easily in the future, why would I force you to enter the world to practice?”

“I don’t know why you were picked by the Bodhisattva and thrown down, but I like you kid, so I don’t want you to die so ugly.” The old ancestor didn’t say this.

Yi Tianxing opened a pair of innocent eyes and said, “What can you cultivate in the gangsters? If you want to accumulate blood and iron, then you should put me in the army. If you want to learn the spirit of a king, you I should be thrown in Hong Kong to worship under Master Huang.”

“No one in the world can follow the path of my practice.” The old ancestor said: “I am born with supernatural powers and entered the Buddha from Taoism, but you have to go through the experience of later generations. Life in the secular world is indispensable for you.”

“It doesn’t matter, life is something to live on, just make yourself and the people around you happy.” Yi Tianxing raised his eyebrows.

“Thousands of human lives disappear in front of your eyes, love and parting in an instant, life and death are suffering, and all kinds of heart calamities, can you not be unmoved?”

“No.” Yi Tianxing replied as crisply as crispy beans, “If this is the purpose of growing up, then I would rather go home to sell sweet potatoes and pick up garbage.”

Yi Tianxing knew that what he saw with his spiritual consciousness before was not a dream, and the words of the avatar of Manjusri Bodhisattva made him vaguely understand many things. The Western Paradise lost an important person, and the people below started to riot, and the political struggle was staged again, and the loser was knocked down to the mortal world. He went up to three days to lead the order of the Taoist sect, and it was about looking for the reincarnation of those Bodhisattvas in temples all over the Middle Earth. But this is a matter within the Buddhist sect, why is it related to the Taoist sect again?

“You also lost the fight and were kicked out.” He tentatively asked into the hut.

“Bullshit.” The patriarch’s arrogance gradually rose, “That man was still there when I came down, otherwise who would have knocked me down?”

“The man is gone now”

“”

Yi Tianxing plucked up his courage and said: “Master, I don’t ask for anything else, you can tell me clearly, who is that one, is he the one who can crush you with a big slap?”

There was a long silence in the hut, and then a voice came out: “Yes.”

The Buddha did not see the bird.

The dead branches in winter in the back garden of Guiyuan Temple were rustled by a gust of wind without reason, as if they were extremely afraid, and the red sun that had just poked out on the horizon was suddenly covered by a layer of dark clouds, as if they did not want to hear what.

There was silence around the hut for a long time, Yi Tianxing murmured to himself: “Master, you are right, this matter is too big, I can’t handle it, boy, I shouldn’t know this.”

Everything has a definite number. On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1995, Yi Tianxing shook his head gently in the back garden of Guiyuan Temple in the provincial capital, trying to pretend that he hadn’t heard about it, so that he could keep himself out of the matter and be safe. It wasn’t until many years later, when he started squatting in the toilet to wash diapers, that he began to smile wryly, and realized that his thoughts in 1995 were indeed too simple.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, what you do, will always be yours, this matter cannot be escaped, cannot be forgotten, cannot be escaped.

Somewhere in the mountains, deep in the clouds, there are people.

Even though the atmosphere here is like a fairy cave, it doesn’t get rid of the smell of the New Year in the world. The red crumbs and a touch of fireworks outside the house prove that someone has set off firecrackers and fireworks here before.

At this time, there were bursts of coughing in the house.

Qin Zi’er, who was so beautiful and incomparable, slowly raised her face and looked at her father at the table: “Father, it’s been two months since you came back from the provincial capital, is your injury better?”

For the last three days, Qin Linchuan, the current head of the sect, looked at her with a loving expression: “Fool, don’t blame yourself for this matter anymore, and blame me for not telling the reason for it.”listen to you. ”

Qin Zi’er’s long eyelashes blinked slightly.

“Since I became the head of the sect, the most proud thing I have done is to separate out the young children under the sect, form six divisions, and hand them over to the government. Only in this way can these fresh lives be prevented from disappearing in those unnecessary fights.” Qin Linchuan raised his head. , the line of sight seems to be straight through the roof, looking directly at the infinite sky, “Since the last three days, I have been looking for some people in various temples. But why they are looking for those people, the elders of Qingjingtian have never said. ”

He sighed: “Zi’er, you haven’t experienced those things, and you don’t know what kind of terrifying existence we have to face. Although those people are much lower than the one in the back garden of Guiyuan Temple, there are still some Extraordinary supernatural powers that ordinary people can’t have. Every time the brothers in the sect fought, although they would win in the end, they would suffer heavy casualties. So since I took over, I have been secretly contending with the elders. Only a few years later, the immortals It will go down to earth, and what kind of situation will be there is beyond your imagination.”

Qin Zi’er raised her head: “My daughter is helping Yi Tianxing deal with the elders of Qingjingtian in the provincial capital, what does father think about this matter?”

“From the moment you entered the Tao, the elders thought you were the most intelligent person after the patriarch.” Qin Linchuan looked into his daughter’s eyes, “You have your own judgment on things, I will not try to influence you, just remember , not too prosperous.”

“Yi Tianxing’s identity is a mystery. I don’t know what kind of variable he will be in the future struggle. Elder Xi was buried on the top of Kunlun Peak. The elders of Qingjingtian will not let him go easily.”

“The elders don’t go down the mountain for many years, and they believe in the principle of not messing around with worldly affairs. They shouldn’t have any influence on him in the secular society.”

Qin Linchuan shook his head: “On a whim the day before yesterday, I made a divination, and I feel that within two or three years at most, Yi Tianxing will have a catastrophe.”

“I left a mentality for him.”

“I know, your Senior Brother Zhou has been asking what is inside the door on the fifth floor of the Sixth Office.”

“Father doesn’t blame me for teaching his Taoism privately”

“Hehe.” Qin Linchuan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, “Since I have decided not to listen to the elders, it is natural to face the punishment of heaven in the future. The chances of keeping it will be one more point.”

“Are the fairies really strong?”

“The word strong is not appropriate.” Qin Linchuan said seriously: “You have to remember that immortals also cultivated from mortals, so don’t be afraid.”

Qin Zi’er nodded slowly, with a look of determination flashing across her face: “Father, then I will start retreat.”

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yi Tianxing frowned and turned around, only to find a lot of bald heads.

With Bin Ku as the leader and Ye Xiangseng as the deputy, dozens of disciples from the Buddhist Sect Yinmen of Guiyuan Temple walked in together. Yi Tianxing looked at it with his own eyes and found that most of these monks had seen it before. It was the time when he played arhats in the backyard to save the little red bird. Intimate physical contact.

Thinking of the little red bird, he realized that the fat guy hadn’t come back yet, and he didn’t know what to do. Yaoyao’s spiritual sense just felt that it was still staying somewhere in the west.

Looking back, he clasped his hands behind his back and asked curiously, “What is this?”

Master Binku Heshi smiled slightly, bowed his body and made a big salute, and the monks behind him also bowed down one after another, their cassocks fluttering for a while, and the scene was quite spectacular.

“Hey, you’re so polite.” Yi Tianxing was a little flustered, and saw Ye Xiangseng winking at him, and then woke up, and quickly turned to avoid it.

The monks worshiped naturally the one in the hut.

Master Binku saluted softly: “Namowo Buddha.”

The monks behind him praised in unison: “Namowo Buddha.”

The sound lingered in the courtyard for a long time.

It’s not Namo Amitabha, it’s not Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering, but Namo Buddha.

Yi Tianxing naturally knows that Namo is Sanskrit, which means respect, but he just doesn’t understand why they say Namo Wo Buddha.

This question continued until he started to have breakfast in Binku’s meditation room.

“What does my Buddha mean”

“The Buddha in my temple.” Master Bin Ku replied with a smile: “Other temples offer the golden body of the Buddha, but this temple offers the real body of the Buddha.”

“Nicky.” Yi Tianxing took a few sips of porridge with a large bowl, “What kind of Buddha is my master?”

“Fighting and defeating the Buddha, is it possible that Dharma protectors have never heard of it?” Master Binku was puzzled, “To avoid frightening the world, so the rule of this temple for two hundred years is to only call me Buddha, not the name of the Dharma.”

Yi Tianxing spat out a mouthful of porridge: “I forgot about this thing a long time ago.” Then he frowned and said: “I know that you, a great monk, hide deeply, so it’s not a big surprise that you know the identity of your master, but there are so many people talking about it.” , although they are all disciples of the Hidden Sect, they must be careful to pass it on.”

“Ordinary disciples naturally don’t know the identity of the ancestor. This secret has always been known only by the abbot of this temple.”

“Ah, I was accidentally overheard by this person.” Yi Tianxing glanced at the thoughtful Ye Xiangseng who was holding Bai Shengsheng noodles beside him, and said with a grinning grin: “Master Binku, do you want me to be the guardian of the mountain gate?” help you into do the work of killing people and silence them”

Ye Xiangseng’s mind really changed these days, he didn’t take a look at this boring boy, instead he smiled slightly, the nasty innocence made Yi Tianxing’s goosebumps stand up.

Master Binku laughed and said: “Ye Xiang is the next abbot of this temple.” After saying this, he went to the front hall to prepare for today’s most important matter of nodding and sticking incense sticks. Yi Tianxing was left in the meditation room and Ye Xiangseng.

“Ye Xiang, if you get promoted, you should treat yourself.” He patted Ye Xiangseng on the shoulder.

Ye Xiangseng smiled slightly, and pushed the bowl of plain noodles in front of him to his eyes: “Noodles taste better than porridge.”

“Stingy monk.” Yi Tianxing shook his head, “I ate too much oil last night, today I have to eat some white porridge to clear my stomach.”

Finally, Ye Xiangseng couldn’t hold back his smile, and after hesitating for a while, he said, “Brother, you should avoid violating the precepts in the temple from now on.”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head and said with a smile: “You are right, I will pay attention to it later.”

The bell rang.

The hour hand points to eight o’clock, and the 1995 head pillar incense of Guiyuan Temple is about to start lighting. Many pilgrims have come to the main hall, and there is a lot of voices, but none of them are allowed to enter the hall. The Zhike monks are maintaining order.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please line up in an orderly manner. The incense burning in this temple starts at 8:30. Respecting the Buddha lies in the sincerity, not in the priority.”

The Zhike monk kept shouting, but no one paid attention to the crowd of pilgrims below. If it weren’t for grabbing the New Year’s incense to bring good fortune for the coming year, who would be willing to celebrate the New Year and warm up early in the morning? Get up from the warm blanket.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the big copper furnace outside the hall

Compared with the lively scene outside the hall, the inside of the hall is quite different.

The Daxiong Palace in the early morning looked a little gloomy. There were several people standing on the cool bluestone floor. Director Pan was wearing casual clothes today and followed behind a person.

The man’s hair was a little gray, he was full of energy, his broad forehead was slightly shiny, and he was wearing a very ordinary jacket, but his body naturally exuded the smell of a powerful person.

“Master Binku, excuse me today.”

Bin Ku presided over a calm face: “You can come because you are concerned about religious work.”

The old man put his hands behind his back and said with a slight smile, “This is a grand event in the religious world, and I’ve wanted to see it for a long time.”

While speaking, Bin Ku took a stick of thick incense from the monk behind him, and handed it to the old man with a low eyebrow. That twig of thick incense is yellow in appearance, about the thickness of a few fingers.

The old man took it with both hands, smiled slightly, but there was a hint of self-deprecation at the corners of his brows. After deliberating for a while, he still lit the fire beside him, and then respectfully inserted it into the incense burner in front of the hall.

Master Bin Ku handed over another stick of thick incense.

The old man was taken aback: “What do you mean by the two pillars?”

Bin smiled bitterly and said, “Unparalleled Buddhas in the world form a pair before.”

The old man smiled and did as he said.

Yi Tianxing, who had been peeping behind the veil, frowned: “Why do you want to order thick incense? This should be ordered by people in the party. The old monk is not in compliance with the rules.”

Ye Xiangseng, who was always by his side, replied quietly: “Since the other party wants to light incense, then light it, but this stick of incense should be reserved for the truly devout benefactor and layman.”

“Small man.” Yi Tianxing exclaimed: “You can’t offend the leader, and you must stick to your principles. It turns out that being a monk is hard work. But Bin Ku is not good enough. Now that he has entered the water, he can’t do half a show. Why bother.”

“Senior brother, don’t go to see that person. This is a distinguished guest you recommended.”

Yi Tianxing looked at the old man’s face that was often on TV news, and shook his head resolutely: “The most complicated things in this world are religion and politics. Now I have been dragged into one thing by you, and another thing I am determined not to touch it.”

“Brother, there is a look of worry on his eyebrows today.”

Yi Tianxing was silent, anyone who knew that his fate had something to do with Yichun’s Shenfo case would be overwhelmed, and instead asked: “Why Ye Xiang, you don’t seem to be in a good spirit today.”

Ye Xiangseng forced a smile: “I don’t know why last night, I couldn’t sleep well. It seems that I had a strange dream. In the dream, the Buddha’s light was shining. I don’t know if it means something.”

Yi Tianxing’s complexion changed slightly, and after a few breaths, he took a deep breath and hummed softly: “Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, brother is walking on the shore, love and love”

This is his way of decompression, although it seems a little weird, but the effect is obvious, the worry on the brows gradually faded, revealing that look of indifference, and walked to the back of the hall with a flick of his sleeves.

“What is on the table in the Nianfo hall?”

“The relief of Journey to the West.”

“No wonder it looks familiar.”

While the two were talking, the work of “lighting fake incense” in the main hall was over, and the leader and Director Pan who followed were welcomed by the Zhike monk to the side hall for tea.

“Master, is student Yi Tianxing in the temple at this time?” Director Pan asked Master Binku softly while looking at the space.

Bin Ku was taken aback for a moment: “What’s the matter with Mr. Pan looking for a layman?”

“It’s nothing.” Director Pan is naturally inconvenient to say clearly, he wants to find Yi Tianxing firstly to thank him, and secondly, he wants to ask the young man from the Gu family where he brought the four hooligan leaders back.

Bin bitterly said: “Maybe stillsleep. ”

Yi Tianxing didn’t sleep, he was standing with Ye Xiang in a certain hall of Guiyuan Temple, the two of them were enthusiastically holding on to the solid wooden stick wrapped in red cloth at the top, and bumped into the big black clock in front of them.

The bell rang again.

The voices of people outside the hall were noisy again and again, many benevolent laymen rushed to the front of the big copper stove, even in the cold morning of the first day of the new year, they still squeezed out a feeling of prosperity. During the bustle, among the palaces, beside the bronze tripod, I don’t know how many pairs of stinky shoes were trampled down, and how many clothes were torn.

In the bursts of green smoke, the new year has begun. :
