Chapter 48 Long Dreams
This is the most common tacit understanding between cultivating fate and unswerving things. Whenever I miss each other, I always feel that the weather reflects my mood, just like before and now.
The so-called light rain floated in the sky, and it was very light. The originally closed eyelids were awakened by the rain. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the broken rain falling from the sky. The rain poured into her body, clothes, hair, eyes, and flowed along her face, and finally flowed into her heart.
When cultivating fate, where is your heart? Is it floating like me?
Unswervingly exhausted until she finally closed her eyes. She was tired and just wanted to rest.
At this time, Xiuyuan did react. He had a long dream, which seemed not a dream. He felt that he had traveled far away with his soul, left the Li family, left Tiantai Town and left unswervingly.
His body was out of control and kept walking. He first arrived at the sand dunes, then to the bamboo forest, and finally to the quiet place of Buddhism, and stopped.
Xiuyuan listened to the morning bell and evening drums, and he stopped in this meditative sound, which was a kind of peace that had never been seen before.
"Are you okay?" When Xiu Yuan sat down with his eyes closed, he heard such a voice, so calm and pleasant, as if it was from a holy land.
Xiuyuan opened his eyes and turned around. It was an old man with crane hair, looking at Xiuyuan.
Xiuyuan politely bowed to the old man, and the old man nodded to him and walked slowly over.
"Are you talking to me?" Xiu Yuan looked at the old man and showed a peaceful smile.
"You are here, which makes me very relieved." The old man established a samadhi around Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan felt a breath from him. It was not from the human world, but from the immortal world. "We haven't seen each other for too long, Venerable."
He called himself a venerable, and understood that he was a person who had a previous relationship with him in his previous life.
"You - know me?" Xiuyuan asked.
The old man still had that gentle smile. He looked at Xiuyuan as if he could penetrate his eyes. Xiuyuan didn't feel that this gaze made people unable to look directly, but instead felt a rare peace in his heart.
"I have known the Venerable for a long time," the old man looked at Xiuyuan, "but I haven't seen him for a long time. Are you here to make an appointment on his behalf?"
Xiuyuan looked at him in confusion, and he shook his head, "Go to the appointment?"
The old man with crane hair had long beards like silver silk. He was by Xiuyuan and slowly stroked his beards. "The Venerable once made an appointment with me. We were here, but later he was surrendered by the Buddha. I thought he would not come again."
Xiuyuan seemed to understand something, "Then are I here to make an appointment with you for the Venerable?"
"You are the Venerable," the old man smiled faintly, "You are his reincarnation."
"So do you have any agreement with the Venerable?"
With the bells and drums and zithers, the old man walked towards the hall that was looming in the mist, "Come with me, venerable."
Xiuyuan followed the old man. It was a palace like a fairyland. Groups of monks were sitting quietly on both sides, "Where is this?" Xiuyuan couldn't help but be foolish. The Pure Land mentioned in the book is just like this.
The old man slowly walked in front of Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan slowly walked up the first step with him, "This is where you and I often come."
"This place looks like a fairyland." Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.
The old man smiled faintly, "The Venerable comes here most often. We sit here for several days. The Venerable who has seen all the worldly affairs in the world is different from other Arhats. He can always have some transcendent understanding."
Xiuyuan looked at the old man incomprehensible, "What kind of understanding is it?"
"He does not divide everything in such detail. For example, people, gods, demons, and venerables have no magnanimity in the eyes of them. This is his always view, although many people do not agree with it."
"Do you agree?" Xiu Yuan looked at the old man, who smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Your Majesty was punished five hundred years ago, do you know?"
"That's something that everyone knows in the fairy world." The old man sighed, "The Venerable will definitely suffer this catastrophe. Perhaps everything is destiny. Whether it is human, god, or demon, there are their destiny. The Venerable is an alien in the fairy world."
"But you agree with his point of view." Xiu Yuan seemed to have reached the point all at once, and the old man looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Let's go and sit up."
Xiuyuan followed the old man to a higher place, where there were endless white jade steps, covered with fairy mist.
"Have you never seen the Venerable again since then?"
The old man shook his head, they stood on the high ground of the tower, the old man looked down, Xiuyuan looked with him, this was a place close to the sky, and could see the mirror-like lake below, with white clouds lingering around him, Xiuyuan listened to the monks chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, and he looked at the old man.
"The Venerable has this catastrophe in his destiny. Perhaps he does not belong to the immortal world. There is no place in this world that can be confined, and there is no place suitable for his eternal life."
Xiuyuan didn't understand, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, "The time is no longer, do you like this place?"
Xiuyuan nodded, "It's very good and very quiet."
"You will come again in the future. We will meet again soon." Xiuyuan was puzzled by this sentence. He looked at the old man.
"You still have many things in the world that cannot be let go. And this time you came to me, I think the Venerable probably asked me to enlighten you."
"Enlighten me?" Xiuyuan looked at the old man.
He stretched out his hand, and a spider crawled out along his sleeve and was in the palm of his hand. The old man did not move, and the spider did not move either. The old man turned over his hand, and the spider crawled up to the back of his hand. Xiuyuan didn't understand, so the old man put the spider down, but the spider refused to leave and did not move on the back of the old man's hand.
The old man pulled it, the spider bit him, and then crawled down from the old man and crawled towards the distance.
Xiuyuan looked at him in confusion and a red envelope appeared on the back of the old man's hand where the spider bite.
"The best thing is not to accompany you, but to expel him." His eyes moved from the distant spider and finally fell on Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan looked at him with a frown.
"The Venerable saved the fox demon and committed a crime, but the fox demon misunderstood the Venerable. The Venerable has already understood the level that you cannot understand."
Xiuyuan still didn't understand, so he frowned and looked at the old man.
"You will understand that after great compassion, you will understand it."
After saying that, the old man disappeared. Xiuyuan was stunned. Apart from the fairy mist and clouds, he could no longer find the old man's trace.
It was this long dream. Xiuyuan felt that this was not a dream. Everything was around him, in front of him, what he saw and heard was so real.
Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes, and the first person he saw was Mochou.
Mochou was extremely excited when he saw Xiuyuan awakening. She held Xiuyuan's hand tightly, "You woke Xiuyuan up!"
Xiuyuan's face was very stiff, and it was no longer applicable if he didn't need it for a few days. He wanted to sit up, and Mochou supported him. Xiuyuan felt that his body was very light and seemed to be still in that fairyland, but when he looked closely, he was sure.
This is home, not that fairyland. Although the old man's words are still lingering in his ears, the best thing is not to accompany him, but to expel him.
