As the sun sets in the west, the ancient temple is shrouded in the hazy mist, like a deep silhouette, looking extremely quiet and solemn.
Under the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree, a young woman is dressed in a light crimson-colored long dress with tangled branches and flowers, with her arms wrapped in silk. She wears a beaded flower crown on her head, with flower buds on her eyebrows, and she looks like she is rich and noble. The delicate oval face is shy and timid, and the eyes are full of affection as he looks at the person opposite.
"Master Jingxuan...I..."
Before she could finish her words, solemn and long bells echoed in the temple.
"Amitabha, it's getting late, donor, please come back."
A clear and pure sound sounded, like running water hitting rocks, and jade stones interlocking, making people's ears clear and their eyesight clear.
The monk opposite the woman was wearing a simple cassock and holding a rosary. His face was indifferent, his eyes were lowered, and his temperament was ethereal.
Even when faced with the endless affection of the beautiful flowers in front of me, there is no sadness or joy, just like seeing the vegetation on the roadside without any fluctuation.
Although the woman has a noble status, she is just like an ordinary woman at this moment. When she can't see any part of herself in the eyes of her sweetheart, she can no longer muster the courage to express her feelings, and leaves with a sad look back three times.
Oh, what a sin...
The snow-white little rabbit was lying in the grass, watching the whole scene of falling flowers and flowing water, and let out a faint breath from its three-petaled mouth.
It was an ordinary rabbit in the mountains. One day when he woke up, he found himself lying in a swaying basket. It turned out that he was picked up by a childish little monk when he was out walking and brought back as a pet. In Guiyuan Temple.
Guiyuan Temple is very big, and the little rabbit was jumping around and lost his way unknowingly.
When I walked to a deep thatched cottage, I was tired and hungry. I saw patches of alfalfa growing in the yard, so I kicked off my legs and ran into the yard to enjoy it without any ceremony.
Just as he was about to eat, Little Rabbit was caught off guard and lifted up by his neck by a big hand.
"where u from?"
The little rabbit's ruddy and confused eyes met the monk's calm and gentle eyes, and pieces of unfinished grass fell out of his mouth.
Immediately, he felt a lightness on his body and fell into the man's warm embrace. The tip of the little rabbit's nose smelled the deep scent of sandalwood and grass on the monk's body, and a thick palm caressed the little rabbit's smooth fur.
An indescribable feeling surged into his body, and Little Rabbit instinctively approached the monk and rubbed his palm gently.
The monk's hand paused for a moment, and then he smiled softly.
"Since you are destined to me, just stay and practice Qing Dynasty with me."
In the following days, the little rabbit followed the monk to carry water and chop firewood in the morning, ate grass and played in the yard during the day, and followed the monk into the house at night to watch him chant sutras and meditate.
Although the monk looks indifferent, he is extremely patient and knows how to take care of rabbits.
Rabbits like to eat alfalfa and dandelions, so the monk will wash and dry the grass blades one by one and feed them to the rabbits. The little rabbit loved to be clean and couldn't allow his white fur to be stained with dirt, so the monk brought water to wash the little rabbit.
After nightfall, the little rabbit jumped onto the monk's bed, staring with a pair of red rabbit eyes, saying that she wanted to sleep with him, and he acquiesced.
Sometimes the little rabbit would even get into the monk's spacious sleeves and robes, and go with him to give sermons to the pilgrims in the temple.
"...Neither birth nor death, neither dirt nor purity, neither increase nor decrease. That is why there is no color in the sky, no feelings, thoughts, and consciousness..."
Listening to the monk's clear and calm voice, the little rabbit slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Over time, shrouded in the light of Buddha, Little Rabbit gradually gained spirituality and understood the laws of operation in the human world.
It learned that the monk's name was Jingxuan, and he was an abandoned baby adopted by the abbot of Guiyuan Temple.
Jingxuan was born with a clear eye and an unparalleled understanding. He had a thorough understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, hundreds of schools of thought, doctors and divination stars.
It is said that Jingxuan can not only enlighten the world, but also influence countless dragons, snakes, and foxes to seek refuge and receive precepts, and to change their evil ways and practice good deeds.
Jingxuan's reputation spread far and wide, and even the emperor and the queen mother came from far away to listen to his sermons.
But none of these things matter to the little rabbit.
It likes to stay next to Jingxuan, just because Jingxuan takes good care of it, and Jingxuan has a nice smell of grass and trees, which attracts the little rabbit to come closer unconsciously.
Recently, Little Rabbit always felt that there was a sense of dryness rushing through his body, making him restless. He couldn't sleep even when he lay on Jingxuan's bed at night, and his two long ears drooped.
Jingxuan didn't understand what it meant, thinking that it felt bored, and gently stroked the rabbit with one hand.
The night was dark, and Jingxuan, who had fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly felt something strange next to him. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw that the little rabbit nesting next to him was gone, replaced by a ball of white light.
Jingxuan was startled and found that the white light gradually faded, and an exquisite and translucent female body appeared on Jingxuan's bed.
The woman's body is made of ice and jade bones, shining in the moonlight. Her black hair is draped over her body like a waterfall. Her legs are close together and turned to one side. There is a faint pink color at the joints. Her white toes are curled up shyly. With.
A palm-sized little face is graceful, delicate and elegant. The small cherry-colored mouth under Qiong's nose is slightly open. Her eyes are as bright and clear as clear water, and she looks at Jingxuan ignorantly.
Jingxuan looked at her quietly. Even when faced with such a bizarre and sexy thing, his face remained indifferent and without any fluctuation.
He lifted his legs out of bed, turned his back, and said slowly:
"Now that you have transformed into a human, don't stay here anymore."
Xiaotu was shocked. She just took a nap and suddenly transformed from a rabbit into a human for some reason. Before she could realize what was going on, Jingxuan, who had always been very good to her, actually wanted to drive her away?
This is absolutely not okay! How should I live without Jingxuan?
She got up and got out of bed in a panic. Her thin white legs were wobbly and she fell to the ground without any strength.
Jingxuan heard a muffled sound behind him, turned around and glanced at it, then closed his narrow eyes tightly in an instant.
He picked up a clean, starched coarse cloth robe and covered the woman's naked body.
Xiaotu grabbed Jingxuan's big hand, tears welled up in her red eyes, her lips opened and closed, and she sobbed softly: "Don't drive me away... I want to stay with you... ...please......"
If the man in this room were any man in the world, facing the beautiful woman crying, he would warmly step forward to hold her in his arms and coax her, and try his best to make her smile.
But the one standing here at this moment is Jingxuan.
He just stood there like a stone, neither looking, nor listening, nor happy nor angry.
Xiaotu pressed Jingxuan's rough palm on her body, wanting him to caress her body like he used to caress her fur. With gleaming eyes, she whispered softly:
"Please, Master..."
Jingxuan's face turned a little colder, and she pulled her hand back hard, raised her legs and walked out of the house.
He didn't go far, he just stood in the yard, listening to the sobbing in the house, standing quietly, no one knew what he was thinking.
At dawn, Jingxuan carried water, chopped firewood, and chanted sutras as usual. The little rabbit who had mastered the spell and returned to his true form jumped around him.
Jingxuan did not drive her away, but he never touched her again, and he no longer let Xiaotu into his house at night.
The little rabbit had no choice but to lie down in the grass gloomily.
One person and one rabbit lived together in silence.
One night, there was a sudden noise in the temple.
Jingxuan held the rosary and hurriedly left the yard.
After being awakened, the little rabbit shivered and hid in the grass to peek.
The temple was surrounded by many people dressed in different clothes. Little Rabbit listened for a while before he understood that it was because they heard that one of the treasure maps widely circulated in the world was hidden in Guiyuan Temple. The leader The people ordered the abbot to hand over the files, otherwise they would kill everyone in Guiyuan Temple.
There is no treasure map in Guiyuan Temple, and even if there were, it would be impossible to just hand it over.
The quiet Guiyuan Temple in the past suddenly became a scene of swords and swords, blood filled the sky, and there were shouts of killing.
The little rabbit ran around in the grass, and finally hid in a hidden wall hole, feeling uneasy.
A heavy object slammed into the wall, and cracks immediately appeared on the wall. Xiaotu tremblingly poked his head out and found Jingxuan leaning against the wall with a pale face, and a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Jingxuan slowly opened his eyes.
Until this moment, his eyes were still calm and calm, without the slightest fear of death.
He looked at the shivering little rabbit in front of him, stretched out his hand, and stroked the rabbit's head for the first time since the little rabbit turned into a human form. The movement was very gentle, but his hand was no longer as warm as before.
He glanced at Xiaotu one last time, then stood up and left.
Within a moment, Xiaotu felt his eyes light up. The entire Guiyuan Temple was shrouded in golden light, and the heaven and earth shook.
Little Rabbit was trembling all over, his mind was in chaos, and he lost consciousness instantly.
When I woke up again, I found that my vision was blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly.
She felt a tightness in her chest and cried "Wow".
"Oh, it's so rare for a child to be so handsome right from birth." Someone was whispering.
I only heard a male voice saying loudly:
"Just call Mingyao, Tan Mingyao!"
