Nightfall Chapter 93: I am not among all beings
In the ancient temple in the spring rain, the air is very fresh, and the huge cliffs that crushed the temple into ruins gave a sense of brokenness, and the drizzle became mesmerized.
Because of Sangsang's identity, the sea-watching monk dared not let the monks in the temple accompany him. He walked with Ning Que and two in the rain until he reached the Tianyin Temple, but a monk hurried to report.
"The cavalry of Xiling Temple has arrived in front of Shanxia Town."
The monk's face was a little pale. He didn't know what had happened. Why did the cavalry from Xiling Temple suddenly appear in front of Lanke Temple? What does Dao Men want to do?
The sea monk guessed that the cavalry in the Xiling Temple was related to Ning Que, but he was wrong about the cause and effect, and his expression became a little serious and nervous.
Ning Que said: "Don't worry, they won't enter the temple."
It is said that, where can sea-watching monks really rest assured that Lanke Temple is besieged by cavalry, no matter how you look at it, it is a precursor to the destruction of the monk, and the other party will definitely want to hand someone to him.
"They are not here to catch fugitives."
Ning Que was a little embarrassed, and said, "You think of these cavalry as her bodyguards."
Only then did the monk waking up, and his heart was like that.
Ning Que saw that he was still a little uneasy, so he asked him to go to Qiansi to handle affairs.
The sea monk said: "The distinguished guest comes from afar, as the abbot of the temple, of course I have to accompany it."
Ning Que said: "Two couples are walking in the rain, with a big bald head sticking beside it, what is this called?"
The sea monk said: "The back temple is broken, and some are not easy to walk."
Ning Que said: "Starting to tell jokes again."
The monk Guanhai laughed, thinking that what he said was really unreasonable. There are no difficulties and obstacles in the world that can stop Ning Que, let alone Haotian by his side.
The **** umbrella is like a black lotus, blooming in the light rain.
The **** horse does not have an umbrella, and is a little embarrassed by the rain, naturally resentful.
Where did Ning Que care about its feelings, holding an umbrella with Sangsang walking around the temple at will.
That autumn, they lived here for a long time, and they were familiar with everything in the ancient temple. Although the mist and rain were blinding people, they would not go in the wrong direction.
Ning Que went to Tallinn first, stood quietly in front of the tomb full of moss, and talked to the dancer in the tomb who had completely changed the pattern of spiritual practice for a long time.
Next, he walked through the rain corridor, came to the Zen room where he once lived, took a look, then went to the side hall, meditated at the few stone statues, and then walked to the broken halls of the back temple.
The main hall of Lan Kehou Temple has already completely collapsed, moss has grown on the cliffs, and broken Buddha statues can occasionally be seen among the rocks, and the feeling of vicissitudes of life is still rising.
Standing in front of the dilapidated old temple, looking at the huge mountains and boulders, Ning Que was silent.
After entering Lanke Temple, Sangsang never said anything, whether in front of the tomb, in front of the temple, or in front of the tomb-like hall at this time.
Lanke Temple changed the fate of Ke Haoran and Liansheng, and also changed the fate of Ning Que and Sangsang.
A few years ago, in the autumn, he took Sangsang here to treat illnesses and study Buddhism here. Sangsang was exposed to her life and became the daughter of Hades who wanted to kill the whole world.
They began to flee from here, through the Buddha's chessboard, to the Xuankong Temple, to the Moon Wheel, and then to the Eastern Desolation, met the Master, went out to sea by boat, and returned here again today.
In these years, too many things have happened. Ning Que looked at the dilapidated palace and recalled what he was doing here at the time, and his emotions became very complicated.
Fleeing for thousands of miles, living together and dying together, are actually fakes. It's just a game of Haotian. This game deceived him, concealed it from the master, and defeated Hongchen, even she didn't know it.
Standing in front of the Hall in the Rain, Ning Que remembered the conversation with Master Qishan, subconsciously looked at Sangsang beside him, and said silently in his heart: God's will is really unpredictable.
Following the gap in the boulder, they left the apse, walked through the broken wall of Lanke Temple, and came to the depths of Washan Mountain, along the mountain road that they had walked through, and the chessboard under the tree. Crossing the bridge over the stream, looking at the trees in the rain, came to the small courtyard of the Zen room on the mountainside.
The furnishings in the small courtyard are the same, plain and clean, and the cotton mattress on the couch is still that soft. There are fan-shaped stone windows on the wall of the park. Standing in front of the windows, you can see the view of Washan Mountain in the mist and rain.
At that time, Sangsang was seriously ill and was about to die. He coughed lingeringly on the couch, said a lot to him, and confessed a lot of last words. He stood silent in front of the stone window for a long time.
He stood in front of the stone window, as if it reappeared yesterday.
Sangsang walked to him and coughed slightly.
Ning Que turned around and looked at her, and said, "Do you want to scald your feet with hot water."
Sangsang was silent.
It's not that love brought me feelings of confusion today, but that she is really sick.
This disease is called weakness.
When she came to the world, from the moment she woke up in the broken peak, she was constantly weakening, her body became heavier and heavier, and her divine power became less and less.
This is the world full of red dust, not the objective and cold kingdom of God. The longer she stays in the world, the weaker she will become.
She is still very strong now, stronger than all the practitioners in the world combined, but compared to her in the kingdom of God, she has become much weaker. Because of her weakness, she began to feel good.
Leave the courtyard and come to the top of Washan Mountain.
The stone statue of Buddha that once towered into the clouds, now only a small half remains, and the traces of the flowing clouds of the robes can be vaguely seen, most of which have been cut into stone by Jun Mo's sword.
Sangsang looked at the sky quietly with his hands behind his back.
There used to be Buddha's compassionate and calm face, but now there is nothing but rain.
But she still looked there quietly, as if looking at the face of the Buddha, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ning Que was a little uneasy, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Sangsang looked at the emptiness of Buddha's face in the rain and said, "I have seen him."
Ning Que thought, Buddha is one of the strongest in countless samsara. Since you are Haotian, you will naturally leave a relatively deep impression on him, just like you have seen a teacher.
Sangsang knew what he was thinking, and said, "No, I have seen him."
Ning Que was a little puzzled, and said, "When the Buddha was alive, you naturally met him."
Sangsang said: "No, when the Buddha was alive, he never dared to show me."
Ning Que frowned slightly and asked, "Then when did you meet him?"
Sangsang said: "Just in the previous moment."
Ning Que was silent for a long time and said, "When you saw this broken Buddha statue?"
Sangsang said: "I saw him before I looked up at him."
Ning Que did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but inferred from this sentence a very shocking fact: "You mean...the Buddha did not really Nirvana? He is still alive?"
Sangsang said: "He is dead, but he is still alive."
Ning Que thinks this is too profound.
Sangsang retracted his gaze, looked at him and said, "Or, he lives and died at the same time."
Ning Que looked at the mutilated stone statue of Buddha, at the place where there was nothing in the rain sky.
The **** umbrella tilted back because of his movements, and the rain fell on his face, a little wet and cool. He seemed to see the Buddha smiling in the rain, and his compassionate face was full of tears.
He said: "I still don't understand."
Sangsang walked behind the buddha's rosette and said, "It's the cat you mentioned."
Ning Que remembered that when she was in Minshan many years ago, one night was so boring, and she made a fuss and refused to sleep, so he told her a terrible story.
The protagonist of that story is a cat named Xue.
For him, the cat who is alive and dead is just a bit incomprehensible, but for a little girl over three years old, she naturally feels terrible when she doesn't understand it.
Ning Que looked at the non-existent Buddha statue in Yukong, and suddenly became scared.
……
……
The spring rain was unexpectedly heavy, and the mountain road was wet and slippery. Ning Que took Sangsang into the cave in the back mountain and took a rest.
"This rain is coming at just the right time."
Ning Que put away the **** umbrella, sat on the futon beside the stone table, looked at the rattan rattan that was hit by the rain, and said, "I was going to show you here."
Donglu is the residence of Master Qishan. He and Sangsang once played a game of chess here. They used the Buddha's chessboard, and a black stone fell. There were countless calamities in the game.
"What exactly do you want to bring me to Lanke Temple?" Sangsang asked.
Ning Que said: "I want to show you this old temple and solve some problems."
Sangsang sat at the table and said, "Go on."
Ning Que said: "On the shore of the South China Sea, you feel a little bit emotional. That makes me nervous, because I can't imagine how to deal with this situation if you are disappointed and angry with the entire human race."
Sangsang said: "When human beings need me, treat me like a god, when they don't need me, abandon me like grass. If you stand in my place, how would you react emotionally?"
"I don't know, because I am not Haotian after all. I have not endured the incense of the world for countless billions of years, and naturally I can't feel the anger of being betrayed."
Ning Que said: "What I want to tell you is that human beings are not as cold and ruthless as you think. You still have countless devout believers in the world."
Sangsang said: "That's because you believe in me, it's good for those humans."
Ning Que said: "Not all human beings only start from the point of view of interests. We will be affected by many other things. We are not inherently evil by nature. In fact, we still retain a share of ourselves and the world we live in. Kindness, I brought you to Lanke Temple, just because you can see that kindness."
Sangsang said, "What kindness do you think I saw?"
Ning Que said: "Master Qishan is the simplest and cleanest strand of kindness for mankind."
Master Qishan is the most respected great virtue of the Buddhism. He used his lifelong cultivation to gain people's health in the torrential flood. He once took in lotus students and wanted to heal Sangsang.
In terms of virtue, the master is the most impeccable person. For Ning Que and Sangsang, he was a loving teacher, regardless of Dharma or other aspects.
Sangsang admitted Ning Que's view, but she disagreed with Ning Que's view.
"Qiyamamoto is good, but his benevolent starting point is still the benefit of mankind, whether it is to take in lotus students or use the Buddha's chessboard to help the daughter of Hades to escape the world."
Ning Que said: "Isn't this the great good?"
Sangsang quietly looked at the summit and said: "The Buddha wanted to save all living beings, and the disciples of the Buddhist school practiced vigorously, but I am not among all living beings. How does the Dharma save me?"
