"Ling'er, if you want to cry, just cry." Xiao Chen came over and gently pulled Ling'er up and hugged her into his arms.
"Brother, I can't cry." Linger said softly.
"Then don't cry." Xiao Chen sighed.
"Yes." Ling'er said, "Master said that those who cry are not good children. Ling'er is very good and doesn't cry."
At that time, Ling'er was still a child and liked to cry a lot. When she started crying, the master hugged her tightly like an older brother, coaxed her softly and sang a very unpleasant song to her. Children's songs...
But if Ling'er doesn't behave and cries again in the future, Master, will you still coax me and let me sleep peacefully in your arms like you did back then?
"Ling'er was so anxious that he fainted." Shangguan Qiji looked at Ling'er who was sleeping soundly in Xiao Chen's arms with a solemn expression.
"Well, let her sleep for a while." Xiao Chen said, "Let's restrain the master's body first...Senior Sister Qinghui, do you think we will restrain the master and bury the master? Do you want to do a ritual?"
"No need, the master has left a message before, saying that once she passes away, the skin will be burned directly on the top of Da'e Peak and the ashes will be scattered under the Sheshen Cliff."
Xiao Chen nodded and was speechless.
"Would you like to wait until the junior sister wakes up and take a look at the master?" Qingming said.
"No need to wait for her. She is so sad that she fainted now. Will she cry to death later?" Qinghui wiped her tears. "Master is a neat person. She doesn't like our mother-in-law. Now she will carry the master's body." Go to the top of Crocodile Peak and burn it immediately."
Now Qinghui is the head of Emei, her words are orders, and all the disciples are silent after hearing this, and follow them together.
A wooden platform was quickly built on the top of the peak. Master Ciyun, who had put on the silk clothes sewn by Ouyang Yunxiu himself, was carried to Taichung. Ling'er's sandalwood bracelet and a worn luggage were also carried to Taichung. All the whisks she used during her lifetime were placed next to her body.
Qinghui led everyone to recite a Buddhist scripture, and then raised the torch to light the firewood.
Xiao Chen and the other six disciples of Nangong were not from Emei, but stood far behind. Ouyang Yunxiu was not actually from Emei, but he also changed into a monk's clothes and stood with the disciples.
Ling'er was sleeping peacefully in Xiao Chen's arms, with a sweet smile on her little face in her sleep.
Maybe she dreamed about the master?
Ling'er really saw his master, but it was not in a dream, but in the spiritual realm.
Xu Momei seemed to have been waiting for her to come, and smiled slightly when he saw her.
"Ah, why am I here? I have to leave. I'm going to find the master." This time Ling'er didn't come on his own initiative.
"Your master will be here in a moment." Xu Momei said.
"Master, she..." Ling'er actually knew everything in her heart. She was just escaping. Unfortunately, she couldn't escape, because she was escaping from herself.
"Ciyun's misfortunes in the human world are over, but you are still in dire straits." Xu Momei felt pity not for the dead Master Ciyun, but for the living Ling'er and the others.
"What are you talking about!" Ling'er's heart is in the world of mortals, and she has yet to figure out life and death. She doesn't want her master to die, and she doesn't want to accept this fact.
"Ling'er, you are young and don't understand. When you are as old as me, you will understand everything." Suddenly a loving voice sounded, and it was Master Ciyun who slowly walked over.
"Master!" Ling'er was overjoyed and immediately rushed over, "Sister Patriarch said you were dead, I knew she was lying to me!"
"Silly boy, the master is really dead, but if he doesn't die, where will there be life?" Master Ciyun said with a smile, "Thanks to the ancestor, he wants to help me build a spiritual realm. From now on, I will be here With cultivation, you will reach the other side of bliss sooner or later. Ling'er, don't be sad, you should be happy for me."
"But..." Ling'er knows that the master will never lie, not when he is alive, and even less when he is dead. So should I be happy for the master?
But why am I still so sad?
"Ciyun, you are dead, why do you still care about the love of these children? When you came, you were empty, but when you came back, you were full of burdens... It's not your fault, it's the same for me. I used it for a long time It took a long time to let go of all those things." Xu Momei said and sighed.
"This is what the ancestor taught me." Master Ciyun touched Ling'er's cheek, "Then you must be obedient and good in the future. You must listen to your brother Xiao Chen and don't worry about the master. You remember the master, master. I also miss you, so my heart will never be empty, and I will never be able to reach the other side."
"But I can't help it!" Ling'er didn't even know that she was crying, but she just felt strange. Isn't this the Lingxu Realm? Why does my face feel cold...
"Oh, I just praised you for being smart and sensible, and you made me angry!" Ci Yun said angrily.
"Master, you didn't praise me for being clever and sensible." Ling'er said.
"I've been praising you in my heart... Okay, it's time for me to leave, and it's time for you to leave too. If you're happy for Master to be freed from suffering, just smile." Master Ciyun said.
"Haha..." Ling'er cried and laughed.
Immediately, her delicate body trembled, and she came out of the spiritual realm. She kept laughing, but she was filled with grief, and the sound of her laughter was extremely weird.
"Ling'er?" Xiao Chen didn't know why and looked at her blankly.
"Master!" Ling'er caught a glimpse of Master Ciyun in the blazing fire, cried loudly, and was about to fly towards her.
But he was hugged by Xiao Chen.
"Oh, just cry." Shangguan Qiji had been worried about Ling'er, but now he saw her crying loudly and knew that the suppressed sadness in her heart had been released, so he felt relieved.
"Amitabha!" Qinghui and other Emei disciples chanted the Buddha's name together, tears welling up again.
After the body of Master Ciyun was burned, a few crystal clear relics were left behind. The disciples were sad and happy at the same time. It turned out that the master had really become a Buddha.
He quickly and carefully put it away, put it in a sandalwood incense box, and enshrined it under the main hall.
Ling'er secretly hid one while everyone was not paying attention, thinking to herself, from now on, master, you will always be with Ling'er.
But I don’t know if I can enter the Master’s Spiritual Void Realm? If possible, wouldn't it be possible to see the master at any time?
Then wouldn’t the master really be by his side forever?
Thinking of this, most of the sadness in my heart disappeared, and I actually became happy.
Qinghui called everyone together to discuss the master's funeral.
Now that Master Ciyun's body has been cremated, there won't be any more funerals, but the news will definitely be reported to the various sects and aristocratic families in the world.
In addition, Qinghui taking over as the head of Emei is also a big deal and must spread the word.
"According to me, it's not necessary. When the master was alive, he was a person who didn't like trouble, and he hated these secular rules. But if we don't know how to talk to the big guys, I'm afraid people will gossip about our Emei sect. Say that our head senior sister is ignorant," Qingyue said.
