This time, the old Taoist priest satisfied the shameless request made by his disciple... When one person attains Taoism, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and guys like Wang Yi and A Jue also leave with Xiaoguang.
For Li Xiuyuan, he could finally forget everything about Datang.
It was too early to go back, so he simply let himself go again in Penglai.
Every day I sit on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain and read Buddhist scriptures for two hours, go to the ground to plant vegetables for an hour, and spend the rest of the time hiding under the eaves in front of the main hall and sleeping.
If you think about it carefully, he didn't spend much time living like this on the snow-capped mountains.
Although the snow-capped mountains are quiet, people visit from time to time.
Only here, everything is completely silent right now, and no one will disturb him.
Even his master probably didn't want to pay attention to him for a long time because of this scoundrel's request.
From spring to summer, the autumn wind blows again in a blink of an eye.
Standing on the cliff, looking at the endless waves, Li Xiuyuan thought of Xu Fu and Zhao Meng who crossed east... After all, he still had some regrets.
Like Xu Fu, he did not travel eastward to the other world to see where the two of them had been.
The only thing that made him feel gratified was that he finally met Xu Fu's descendants when he came to rescue Qingyu and the others.
And judging from that guy's character, it wouldn't be a disgrace to Xu Fu to be entangled with the demon in Penglai.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan turned his eyes away from the endless sea. He gained some mood in Datang, but he also lost an opportunity to go to sea.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, there was a roar of waves from the bottom of the cliff, just like a dragon was born and wanted to go straight up to the nine heavens and transform into a dragon to overcome the tribulation.
I can see Li
Xiu Yuan frowned slightly.
He was not afraid of the birth of the dragon, but thought that if you came out to trouble me earlier, I could give Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Bao and Xiao Guang a chance.
Thinking of this, he simply stood quietly on the edge of the cliff and remained calm.
What he didn't expect was that although the waves were rising, there was no monster rising up to trouble him.
"Come out……"
Li Xiuyuan remained unmoved, smiled calmly and said, "I'm the only one left in Penglai. I'm afraid your plans will be in vain."
"Woo!" A whimpering sound sounded in the waves, and a green figure slowly came from the churning sea to the cliff.
Li Xiuyuan quietly stared at the shadow in the waves, waiting for the other party to speak.
As long as there was no malice, he didn't mind finding a guy to chat with.
I just waited for a quarter of an hour, and when I couldn't see the other party speaking, I finally had to say: "If you don't speak, I will leave!"
"Young master, stay here." A woman's voice rang out from the churning waves.
"What do you want from me?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the shadow in the waves and said quietly.
"Hey... I want to ask the young master for a favor. I wonder if he is willing?" the woman in the waves replied softly.
"Don't act like a fool in front of me. If you have anything to say, come ashore and say it."
Li Xiuyuan walked to the pavilion not far behind him. Since the other party had no ill intentions, he might as well listen to what the request was. Thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any amazing abilities?
How can I help you?
Wow, the sea water surged up, but did not overflow the cliff. A woman in a blue silk skirt walked softly,
Come to the pavilion step by step.
At the same time, the waves behind him gradually dispersed, and a graceful and graceful woman appeared in front of Li Xiuyuan.
If it were anyone else, he would have been conquered by the woman's charming appearance.
Who would have thought that the person who came from the East China Sea would be a peerless beauty.
"Qingying has met the young master!"
The visitor looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting quietly in the pavilion in disbelief, and murmured: "Young master, I am disturbing you today, but I have something to ask for!"
Li Xiuyuan pointed to the stone bench in front of him and replied: "Sit down and talk."
The woman who called herself Qingying nodded, sat down next to the stool, and said softly: "Speaking of which, the young lady and the young master are old friends..."
"You recognized the wrong person, how could I be your old friend?" Li Xiuyuan replied calmly.
"That's right, I was on this cliff back then, but I couldn't transform into a human at that time..." Qingying sighed and said faintly.
Li Xiuyuan only felt the sound of "Boom!" and was speechless for a while.
After staying for a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Except for the dragon who colluded with Penglai Niu Sanduo and wanted to devour a bunch of children, I don't have any grudges with Donghai..."
"It turns out it's really you, the Bodhisattva back then..."
Qingying let out an exclamation and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that you really came back here again."
"So, we should be enemies." Li Xiuyuan was not surprised. After all, there were also a pair of black dragons in the Shura battlefield.
It's just that he didn't expect that this guy didn't rush out of the sea and fight with him together with the green dragon.
After all these years, it has actually transformed into a
A stunning beauty.
Qingying shook his head and sighed: "Back then, I advised him to practice for another few decades with peace of mind. It was because he refused to listen to my advice that he finally died."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said: "So, what do you want from me?"
Since this woman didn't take action back then, she wouldn't seek revenge for her husband and herself today, so he calmed down.
"I've been waiting for so many years, but I still haven't had the opportunity to transform into a dragon."
Qingying sighed and said quietly: "These days, I listen to the young master reciting Buddhist scriptures every day in the sea. I always feel that I can meet the wind and transform into a dragon, break through the void, but I am always missing something..."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was immediately speechless.
After a long time, he said: "Come with me to the main hall to have a cup of tea. Since you have listened to Buddhist scriptures, it is possible to hear the Tao..."
Even Li Xiuyuan didn't expect that he was just bored, so he sat on the beach and read the Buddhist scriptures translated by Tripitaka, but he didn't expect to disturb his old friend.
Think about it, this is really interesting.
Back then, the green dragon was considered his life-and-death enemy. After devouring Xiaobao and a bunch of other children, he sought a chance to ascend and transform into a dragon.
At the moment, Qingying is behind Hua Xing, quietly listening to the Buddhist scriptures he has been reading for several months in the sea.
Walking in front, I couldn't help but whisper to myself: "Senior, the Buddha said that everyone can become a Buddha. It seems that there is some truth in it."
The old monk under the green pear tree smiled faintly and said to the old Taoist priest opposite: "Look, all the people around him are gone, and he can still have another karma with the green dragon in the sea."
The old Taoist priest sighed and smiled bitterly
Said: "Didn't you say good causes and good consequences? My disciple now wants to give you good consequences."
The old monk nodded and replied: "Back then, the green dragon killed people for the purpose of seeking the Tao. Today, the green shadow asked the Buddha for the same purpose of pursuing the Tao. It is interesting."
"Yes, everyone has a desire to follow the Tao, and so do demons."
The old Taoist priest thought for a moment and smiled: "I don't think he will dare to come to trouble me for decades to come. I'm afraid that he will take action against you soon."
The old monk smiled lightly: "With his appearance, I am willing to take action for him."
The two came and sat down in the main hall. Li Xiuyuan reached out and lit the small red clay stove on the table.
He said to Qingying: "This stove and this tea cup were gifts given to me by a female saint back then. Today I will treat you to a cup of spiritual tea. I hope you can gain some insights."
In the nine heavens and ten places, it is difficult to feel a trace of the saint's breath.
Not to mention, the green shadow in front of him can touch the tea set that the female saint once used. This can be regarded as Li Xiuyuan's desire to help the woman in front of him and obtain an opportunity to transform into a dragon.
Qingying looked at the teacup on the table with a hint of surprise on his face, and then smiled lightly.
He said in a low voice: "It's just that Qingying is in the sea, but there is no treasure to give to the young master. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
"It doesn't matter, I've sent away all my friends here, except for you."
Li Xiuyuan replied as he dropped two pieces of spiritual tea into the pot.
Upon hearing this, Qingying lowered his head very low, as if he remembered something, and sighed softly.
Said: "If I had known this, why would I have joined the Taoist priest back then and ended up in ashes?"
, think about it, it’s not worth it.”
Looking at the poor woman in front of him, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, he had no choice but to say: "Forget it... don't talk about you guys. Even in the Buddhist hall, there are thoughts of becoming a Buddha and becoming a demon, not to mention that guy who was eager to ascend at that time."
"Thank you so much, Master." Qingying bowed and said gratefully.
Looking at her, Li Xiuyuan sighed again and again, with mixed feelings in his heart. He could only say in his heart that everything was caused by fate.
Back then, he could kill a dragon with a sword, but today, he wanted to give the woman in front of him a chance to learn the truth.
If Qingyu, Gao Yue'er, and even Xiaobao learned about this, they wouldn't be able to believe it.
Until a cup of spiritual tea exudes a faint fragrance, until Qingying holds the teacup used by the saint and takes a sip.
She couldn't help but ask: "Is the young master going to leave this world?"
She first witnessed Li Xiuyuan waving away all his friends, and saw that there was no one coming after him in Penglai. After thinking about it, there was only one result.
That is the young man in front of him, who is also leaving.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and recited in a concentrated voice: "The so-called happiness and suffering, impermanence, purity and impurity, selflessness, reality and unreality, refuge is not refuge, all living beings are not all living beings..."
"A dragon is not a dragon, a dragon is not a dragon, and a human is not a human being... You don't care where I go, but if you don't calm down and think about where you are going, use this trace of the power of a saint to break through the void..."
Qingying was stunned for a moment, like a wake-up call, holding a cup of spiritual tea, quietly feeling the bitterness in it.
Let her think about the suffering she has suffered in the past thousand years, the tears she shed alone during the long years when her husband died.
"Hurry up and have another cup of this tea." Li Xiuyuan carried Zisha and added spiritual tea to her cup.
Quietly, he stuffed a piece of talisman paper into her hand and sighed: "This talisman paper can block the last thunderstorm for you. In this case, I will free your mind..."
"If so, Qingying, thank you sir."
Qingying held a cup of spiritual tea, and a tear fell into it.
At this moment, she felt a mixture of emotions in her heart, a touch of bitterness and a touch of sweetness in her mouth... She couldn't tell whether it was the taste of spiritual tea or tears.
After quietly drinking three cups of spiritual tea, Qingying fell into an epiphany.
Li Xiuyuan took out half of the Nirvana Sutra and read it softly.
"Eternity is not eternal, peace is not peace, doing nothing, discontinuing, nirvana is not nirvana, increasing is not increasing... I also want to be happy to hear the supreme Mahayana, if what I have heard can be said to me..."
The autumn sun in the sky was shining quietly on one side of the world, and a wisp of cool autumn wind from the mountains sneaked into the hall, gently blowing on Qingying's face, and also blowing on the Buddhist scriptures in Li Xiuyuan's hand.
I came from a long time ago...
I come from Tianshan Mountain...
I come from Luoxia Mountain...
I come from the snowy mountains of Datang...
I didn’t bring a single cloud when I came. I hope that when you leave, you can step on the colorful divine light and go to the world you long for...
Except for that time on the Wangchuan River, I accidentally went to an unknown place with that guy Long Qingyun, and let that guy transform into a dragon on the Wanli Divine River.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was holding a Buddhist scripture and guarding a pot of spiritual tea for the first time in his life.
I want to transform the green shadow in front of me that has transformed into a green dragon, and I want to take advantage of the wind and transform into a dragon and fly away.
Above the nine heavens, a faint golden streak fell
Light travels through heaven and earth, through endless time and space, and falls quietly on Qingying's body.
Li Xiuyuan, holding a Buddhist scripture, held the flower and smiled, turning this moment into eternal sand.
