    ☆、Broken 31

    “Dang…”

    In March, it was misty and misty, and the sound of bells came from far away on the mountain, with a simple and distant sound.Climbing up the steps along the bluestone path, you can see pines and cypresses on both sides, greenery, and a Buddhist temple with red walls and black tiles nestled among the towering ancient trees. When you get closer, you can hear the peaceful chanting of sutras.

    Therefore, all sentient beings in the worlds of the ten directions who hear the merits of his name will immediately enter the correct position and be reborn in the pure and peaceful Buddhaland.

    The man in green shirt stood on the stone steps and listened for a while before slowly walking towards the temple gate.There was a Zhike monk in yellow robes standing outside the mountain gate. When he saw him, he couldn’t help but smile on his face and said, “Master, I’m here to bother you again today.”

    The monk Zhike stepped aside and said, “Please come in. Duan Tan is more polite.”

    Duan Zhengzhu walked along. The temple was not big. It was built according to the mountain. Not far from the mountain gate was the Dazui Palace.In the middle of the main hall, the golden statue of Buddha is old, but it is clean and tidy.Sitting on a futon in front of the Buddha statue is a monk dressed in linen. He has an extraordinary handsome face and a gentle and indifferent expression.At this time, he was twirling the rosary in his hand and chanting Buddhist sutras in a low voice. Dozens of monks were also sitting on the ground, and the chanting sounds of the monks were distant and ethereal.

    In order to save all sentient beings in the world in the ten directions, even though I have made the transcendental wish to practice immeasurable great deeds, this is actually the Dharma body that will last forever.

    It wasn’t until a morning lesson was finished that the monk got up and said, “That’s it for today.” When he came out, he saw Duan Zhengzhu standing outside the Main Hall, his expression gentle as before, and he said the Buddha’s name, “Tan Yue is here to taste tea?”

    Duan Zhengzhu felt this in his heart and nodded slightly, “Exactly. Is Master Shenxiu free today?”

    “A poor monk cannot be called a master,” Shenxiu made a gesture of invitation, “Tan Yue, please come this way.”

    The two of them then went to the quiet room in the temple that was used to entertain pilgrims. The quiet room was just a small room with simple furnishings. Duan Zhengzhu couldn’t help but think of how prosperous Tongmingyuan, the holy land of Buddhism, was back then.After Shenxiu’s nirvana, Tongmingyuan did not disband because of the loss of its master. Instead, it became more and more prominent through Shenxiu’s great merits.

    Just ten years have passed, and Buddhism is no longer the one that it once was.Emperor Luo Sen was impeached and abdicated due to immorality, and the ministers elected Chang Xinhou as the emperor.After Changxinhou ascended the throne, he revoked the Taoist Order and pardoned all Taoist cultivators who had not yet been executed in prison and everyone in Tianshuiyuan. The Taoist sect regained its foothold and developed rapidly in the past ten years, showing signs of prosperity.

    Buddhism, Taoism, and the imperial court are three pillars of power. The world is at peace and wars have ceased.Especially after the Jiutian Gang Qi layer was broken, there was hope for further progress. The powerful men who were once loyal to the imperial court no longer fought for power and profit but focused on cultivation and seldom interfered with mundane matters.The demonstrations from the upper levels have inspired the lower levels. Nowadays, the practice of escaping from the world has become a common practice in the world of cultivation. Without monks’ control over the secular world, the lives of mortals have become less constrained and are getting better and better.

    And the creator of all this was the holy monk Shenxiu who used the “strange stone from outside the sky” to break through the Nine Heavens Gang Qi ten years ago.When Shenxiu sacrificed his life on that day, the stars came to the world and the Milky Way hung upside down.Among the thousands of stars, the divine body disintegrated bit by bit, turning into Buddha light and flying into the sky, leaving only the sound of Zen echoing.

    Some people say that the holy monk Shenxiu did not pass away but transcended this world and went to the endless Buddha land to achieve the golden body of Buddha.All the people in the world are grateful for his merits, so they call him the Buddha. He is the third greatest Buddha after the Tathagata Buddha and the future Buddha.

    Few people know that Shenxiu neither passed away nor transcended, but was preaching sutras and practicing meditation as an ordinary monk in this small temple.

    He lost all his memory. In the mighty power that could change the laws of heaven and earth, his physical body could not support it and completely collapsed.But at the critical moment, Yao Ji activated two pieces of Ping Yao Ling in her soul. The three fragments responded to each other and turned into thousands of stars in the fragments. Some of them were thrown into Shenxiu’s soul that had not yet dissipated, forming a new body for him, and some of them returned to Yao Ji’s soul and fell into silence.

    He was reborn, but there were great hidden dangers in his body.The reshaped body and soul did not have a good fit. He’s body was like walking on a tightrope. He could only continue to stabilize the connection between the body and soul through various natural materials and earthly treasures in order to continue his life.

    But Shenxiu didn’t know all this. After he woke up, he found himself in this small temple, so he stayed there for ten years.

    “Master Shenxiu,” Duan Zhengzhu hesitated for a moment after finishing the cup of tea, and then asked, “You still haven’t thought of anything?”

    Shenxiu shook his head, with a calm look on his face: “All dharmas are empty. Even if you don’t know ‘who I am,’ this poor monk has a heart toward Buddha. Whether he knows it or not, it doesn’t matter.”

    Duan Zhengzhu sighed secretly: “Then Master has never thought that maybe he has forgotten something very important?”

    Shenxiu’s eyes were clear: “Forgetting is the Dharma, remembering is also the Dharma. Things in the world cannot be forced. If the poor monk can remember, he will remember it one day.” In the past ten years, Duan Zhengzhu has asked him these two questions countless times. He said with a smile, “Tan Yue, you are fascinated.”

    The two talked for a while longer before Duan Zhengzhu resigned.he Walking along the path in the back mountain of the temple, I saw a tall peach tree outside the red wall. The girl was sitting on the tree branch, and the petals were falling down like fine snow.

    “…Aren’t you still going to see him?”

    Yao Ji turned back with a soft smile on her lips: “Here,” she took out a leaf with a faint silver light from her arms and threw it to Duan Zhengzhu, “The leaves of the Qinghua tree should be able to stabilize his soul for a few more years.”

    Duan Zhengzhu sighed again – in the past ten years, he has sighed more than in the previous hundred years: “In order to find the treasures of heaven and earth to help him stabilize his soul, you have traveled over mountains and ridges, to the sky and into the sea. In the past ten years, there has been almost no day that you have not been running around. I don’t understand why you didn’t tell him. If you don’t let him know, how can he recover his memory and think about you…”

    Yao Ji smiled: “I really want to, but I don’t need it.”

    I don’t need to disturb his current life in order to make him appreciate me or remind him of me.

    “You know, he once… split into two selves.”

    Shenxiu and Xingsi, one is black and the other is white, one is evil and the other is righteous.This statement may not be correct, because thoughts come from Shenxiu, and He is the purest incarnation of He’s soul. The heart is like a mirror, free from dirt and dust.He stems from Shenxiu’s regret, which is also what his heart desires.

    But now Shenxiu, after forgetting everything, has finally found peace of mind.he is both walking and thinking, but not walking and thinking, but the two selves that should have been one have finally merged.The soul is liberated, allowing him to dare to face his regrets, so he no longer denies Xingsi or himself.

    “If the cost of letting him remember is to break his peace, then I would rather he never remember.”

    The girl’s voice was soft yet firm, her eyes were clear, and looking at those black pupils, for a moment, Duan Zhengzhu even thought he saw Shenxiu’s eyes.

    He couldn’t help but think of a long time ago, when he didn’t know that Shenxiu’s body was abnormal. He saw Shenxiu breaking in on a rainy night, and he was still puzzled by it.Later Shenxiu found him and told him everything.

    “All mistakes require a price,” the man said lightly, “I hope you can help me keep the secret, and I will make up for the mistakes I have made.”

    He’s compensation turns out to be self-sacrifice.If I could turn back time, would I stop Shenxiu?Duan Zhengzhu couldn’t tell, but he would definitely take her away before Shenxiu broke in, so that they would no longer know each other.

    The peach blossoms were fluttering, covering the green grass with snow-white in an instant.Yao Ji didn’t know how long she sat there, until Duan Zhengzhu’s back had long since disappeared. She stared at the rolling white clouds in the sky, seeming to be lost in thought and missing.

    “Tan Yue?”

    A mellow and deep voice rang out. The man in monk’s clothes and hemp shoes stood by the wall, looking curiously at the petite figure on the tree. He was wearing a blue skirt and shirt, and he looked like a fairy from the Yaochi in the steaming clouds.

    He’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker, and he saw she turned around after hearing the sound, with the tenderness still on her face that had not faded.The two eyes suddenly converged. He looked at her, and she looked at him. He was on this side of the wall, and she was on the other side of the wall.

    For no reason, he laughed: “The weather is just right today, the spring scenery is so beautiful, I can’t live up to it. Tan Yue, I have a cup of good tea, I would like to taste it.”
