Xumi Ten Thousand Buddhas looked at the ten thousand feet golden Buddha image behind Su Mo and fell into silence.
He lowered his head and looked at the tiny Su Mo standing on the mountain. He seemed to sigh softly and slowly knelt down to the ten thousand feet golden Buddha image behind Su Mo and bowed deeply.
The gentle breeze blew up to the top of Mount Sumeru, and the ten thousand Buddhas turned into withered leaves flying all over the sky again.
Fluttering...
Su Mo slowly turned around and looked at the ten thousand feet golden Buddha image behind him.
The Buddha looks like Huikong, skinny as a stick, but has a smile that always hangs on his face, peaceful and tranquil.
This is the Buddha in Su Mo's heart...
...just like Huikong.
The golden Buddha images dispersed, and Su Mo turned back silently, carrying Huikong's golden body and walking toward the top of the mountain.
The breeze blows, the dead leaves are flying, and the top of Mount Xumi is peaceful.
Su Mo slowly walked to the center of Mount Sumeru, his body trembled, and he sat on the ground.
The top of Mount Sumeru is completely empty...
The top of Mount Sumeru is a flat grassland, and the green grass on the ground is unobstructed from the top of Mount Sumeru.
But on this flat mountaintop... there isn't a single tree!
Not to mention the bodhi tree, there isn’t even a tree!
In the vast Sumeru, everything is empty...
"There is no Bodhi tree..."
Su Mo looked at the empty top of Mount Sumeru, lowered his head in depression and remained silent.
The breeze came slowly, blowing Su Mo's white hair, covering Su Mo's eyes.
Su Mo gently placed Huikong on his back on the ground and looked at Huikong quietly.
The golden body of Huikong still looks like meditating, with a peaceful smile on his face...
"The Bodhi tree at the top of Sumeru is just a rumor after all." Cang Shengbi sighed and whispered softly into Su Mo's ear.
"There is no Bodhi tree and no Bodhi fruit!"
Su Mo looked at Huikong's golden body blankly, and raised his hand to gently straighten the messy monk's clothes on Huikong's golden body.
He looked up at Xumi, whose expression was depressed and dazed.
He really wants Huikong to come back to life...
I can accompany him to talk about Taoism and drink tea.
Just like that year when Huikong, Su Mo and the little girl went to Jiangnan together...
That year, the three of them went to Jiangnan together. Su Mo's soul was broken and he went to Jiangnan to find a place to return.
On that trip to Jiangnan, he was the only one who should have died, but he didn't.
On that trip to Jiangnan, he lost two important people at the same time...
A nostalgic sister and a close friend.
The three of them went to Jiangnan, and now he is the only one...
Saving Huikong was not only because Su Mo missed his friends, but also meant a lot to him.
He wanted to rescue Huikong, and then bring back all the important people who died in front of him.
Retrieve the dead person, retrieve the floating leaf floating on the long river.
Then he would talk and laugh with all his relatives and friends, and explore the path to immortality together.
The road is long and difficult.
he knows.
However, Su Mo still wanted to give it a try.
Saving Huikong is his first step...
But even though he already had the answer in his heart, once the truth was revealed in front of Su Mo, Su Mo still couldn't help but feel grief in his heart.
There is no Bodhi tree or Bodhi fruit on the top of Mount Sumeru.
The Bodhi tree and Bodhi fruit are just rumors after all.
A beautiful rumor in the world.
The rumor that one can become a Buddha by climbing Mount Sumeru is just a wish among the people of the world...
Su Mo looked at Huikong's golden body, and the Buddhist principle that Huikong had been arguing with him all those years ago, but in the end he couldn't win or lose, seemed to come to mind.
"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror......"
Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror has no stand...
This sentence kept popping up in Su Mo's mind when he climbed the mountain.
It seemed that Huikong's golden body had been urging Su Mo to turn around.
He kept telling Su Mo that there is no Bodhi tree and the Pure Terrace is not a mirror.
"The pure platform is not a mirror, and the Sumeru has no Bodhi..."
Su Mo lowered his head and looked at the grass on the ground, which was covered with dead leaves.
I don’t know how the wind blew the dead leaves from the bottom of the mountain to the top of Mount Sumeru...
"There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
Yes, there is nothing in the first place.
How can I cause so much 'dust' in this Sumeru?
Su Mo looked at Huikong's golden body, his expression confused and in a trance. The cool breeze blew, and Su Mo murmured to himself, "Back then, when you said, 'Bodhi has no tree, a mirror, nor a stand,' did you see the answer today? "
"Did you keep trying to persuade me to give up when I was climbing?"
Su Mo sighed deeply, and suddenly something flashed in his mind.
"Back then, what did I use to refute your assertion that Bodhi has no tree?"
Su Mo seemed unable to remember it for a moment, and kept searching for memories.
Finally, Su Mo suddenly realized, "Yes...the body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror."
"I see!"
Su Mo looked at Huikong and laughed softly.
"Bodhi is not empty, Bodhi is all things!"
"Becoming a Buddha does not mean that all dharmas are empty. Becoming a Buddha is a bright mirror that shines upon all things."
"Yes... everything is animistic!"
Su Mo faced Huikong, sat down gently, clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
He let go of everything, and after many years, he once again used the laws of all spirits to perceive the world.
Although his eyes were closed, he saw everything.
The fallen leaves all over the mountain seem to be telling the story of the wonderful time on the trees...
The Mount Sumeru is telling Su Mo about Buddhist principles...
The green grass on the top of Mount Sumeru was complaining to Su Mo about the boredom on Mount Sumeru...
Su Mo closed his eyes and sensed everything, everything in the world.
Beautiful, boring, peaceful...
Su Mo senses the emotions of all things, the joy, anger, sorrow and joy that come from the underworld...
In the Su Mo Ten Thousand Spirits Law, it seems that this vast Mount Sumeru is different.
The fallen leaves no longer persist and turn into dust.
The dead trees no longer mourn and sprout new shoots.
The grass is dewy and flowers are blooming.
Ten Thousand Buddhas' emotions unfolded into laughter...
Su Mo closed his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Buddha's heart is not 'all dharmas are empty', Buddha's heart is 'all dharmas come from the heart'."
Huikong's golden body sat on the ground and gradually turned into a seed.
The seeds fell into the grass and slowly grew into an ancient tree that looked like a vicissitude of life.
The ancient trees opened up and shaded Su Mo.
Cang Shengbi looked at everything in front of him blankly, watching the changes in Mount Sumeru.
Suddenly, I found that the rule that all laws on Mount Sumeru were empty disappeared.
The ancient bodhi tree transformed into the golden body of Huikong is not big, only two people tall, but it reveals a mysterious and simple meaning.
The appearance of the ancient tree seems to have corrected the rules of Mount Sumeru.
A golden fruit slowly grew on a branch of the ancient tree.
The fruit fell to the ground and turned into a person under the tree!
"Why is this happening?" Cang Shengbi murmured to himself, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Su Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ancient tree in front of him.
Under the ancient tree, an old monk sat cross-legged...
The old monk looked at Su Mo with a smile on his face, his expression filled with incomparable tranquility and peace.
An ancient tree, a monk, an emperor...
The breeze came slowly, and the dead branches of the ancient tree swayed, as if they were playing with something.
Su Mo looked at the old monk's appearance, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he laughed softly.
"Huikong, long time no see."
The old monk smiled softly and nodded slowly. "Little friend Su..."
"......haven't seen you for a long time."
