At that time only Tao was commonplace

"I am you, and you are me. So is Zhao Binling Chanzi. If I leave, you must live on, even if you help me survive..." Jianglong squatted down.

I also want to love him well, even with my share.

Daoji showed despair, and Zhao Bin finally understood why there was always such a trace of anxiety and panic during this period, and also understood why Jianglong was so anxious to rescue Daoji.

turn out to be...

Zhao Bin wanted to say something, but he didn't know what else to say when the words came to his lips. Thinking of the three days of short time together, thousands of words could only be turned into two lines of tears, which slowly flowed down.

Jianglong glanced at Zhao Bin, smiled, and the golden light on his hand slowly lit up, covering Daoji's whole body.

The ever-burning lamp was originally weak, but now it suddenly brightens for no reason, just like the reflection of the light before the death of a person, trying to burn all the light in his life at this dying moment.

Daoji wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry and painful.

I can't even cry.

Laughter without sound, great sorrow without tears.

Daoji knew that Jianglong was now exchanging his life for his rebirth, and Jianglong, who had lost everything, would...

It can only disappear in this vast land.

This is his deal with Buddha.

He exchanged his life for the mana in just three days, and Daoji's rebirth. When the lamp is extinguished after death, what this ever-burning lamp burns is not lamp oil, but the life of Jianglong.

"Jianglong, do you really not regret it?"

"I don't regret subduing the dragon, but I hope the Buddha will be perfect!"

A sigh from afar, cold and merciful.

"The word love is the most difficult to understand. It is no wonder that the world is ignorant. Even this god and Buddha can't escape the word."

Jianglong closed his eyes and fell deeply on the ground.

"This ever-burning lamp can help you multiply your mana, but if the lamp goes out, you will turn into pure energy and disappear into this vast universe."

"My Buddha is merciful."

"But the position of the Eighteen Arhats is indispensable, no matter! No matter! The pair of idiots have gone through catastrophe, and Daoji's mission in the world has not yet been completed. Let them understand the fate of the world in this world of mortals, and return to their original positions after their lifespan is over. !"

"Thank you, Buddha, for fulfillment!"

"Exchanging your life for these decades, how can I feel at ease as a monk?" Daoji muttered to himself with blank eyes.

"Why are you confused?" Jiang Long smiled, and his body gradually became transparent, "This universe was originally a mass of pure energy, and I am just mixed with this world, and I am with you all the time. , why are you uneasy?"

Daoji closed his eyes and said, "You'd better use these words to deceive Ling Chanzi!"

After finishing speaking, he got up slowly, and under the moonlight, a human-shaped shadow appeared under Daoji's body.

Zhao Bin looked at Daoji, then at Jianglong, smiled wryly, closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

Daoji touched Zhao Bin's hair lightly, and patted the back of his head with a fan. A golden bead flew out from between Zhao Bin's eyebrows and floated in front of Jianglong, gradually showing a human shape.

"I think Ling Chanzi should have a lot to say to you!"

Daoji turned around, grabbed the child's hand and walked away.

Now, only Lingchanzi and Jianglong are left.

"Now, you should hate me very much, right?"

"I wish so, I just hate you."

"The person I don't want to hurt the most is you. But I didn't expect that in the end, the person who hurt you the most is me."

"What I didn't expect was that even so, I still have no regrets."

"Don't cry."

Jianglong struggled to stand up and wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of Ling Chanzi's eyes, but just as he stood up, he fell down weakly.

What greeted me was not the cold turf, but a warm embrace.

Jianglong had some difficulty breathing, panting heavily and leaning against Lingchanzi's arms, he raised his hand tremblingly and took out a pill with a faint fragrance from his arms.

"This is what I asked the Buddha. Eat...Eat it, and you will...be able to have an independent body, completely separated from Zhao Bin."

Ling Chanzi took the pill but didn't take it. He cast a glance at Zhao Bin, who was sitting unconscious, and lowered his eyes.

"Sometimes, I really envy him. Obviously he and I are one person, he is much happier than me."

Jianglong smiled bitterly.

"It was...my fault."

"No." Ling Chanzi shook his head, "We were all wrong."

Jianglong's bitterness became even heavier. Seeing that Ling Chanzi didn't take the pill, he stretched out his trembling hand to hold Ling Chanzi's hand holding the pill and pushed it forward.

Ling Chanzi held Jianglong's hand with his backhand, and Jianglong realized that the cold pill had been softened by Lingchanzi's grasp.

"Did you ask for this medicine for me, or for him?"

Jianglong froze for a moment,

"Is there a difference?"

"Is there a difference? Is there a difference? I asked him this question back then, and he was indeed the same person, even with the same answer. If there is no difference, then why did Zhao Bin almost become a demon? Why was that child born? ? Why...why are you still dying?" Ling Chanzi was a little excited, but his tone slowly sank as he looked at Jianglong in his arms.

"sorry."

Ling Chanzi smiled wryly and said, "Why do you need to apologize between us? I knew a long time ago that there would be no result between us. Now, at least there is another self to help us live happily. Is it bad?"

Jianglong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Lingchanzi in horror, "Promise me, don't do anything stupid."

"You are the stupidest person." Ling Chanzi retracted his arms, trying to hug Jianglong tightly.

Jianglong was silent for a while, then said slowly,

"At least I can clearly know who I want to die by, and I'm not too stupid."

Ling Chanzi's eyes gleamed silver, he looked down at Jianglong tenderly, and smiled genuinely.

"This pill seems to be very bitter."

Jianglong narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, he also smiled faintly,

"Unfortunately, now... now I can't bring you any more candies... candied haws..."

Jianglong's legs were gone, and even his abdomen began to slowly become transparent and gradually disappear.

Out of oil.

"Yeah! I almost forgot what the taste of candied haws is. I haven't eaten it for several years?" Ling Chanzi frowned mischievously, making Jianglong laugh.

"It's not just a few years, it's been hundreds of years..."

"I didn't expect that we've been together for so long..." The weight on Ling Chanzi's hand became lighter and lighter, but the smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger.

Jianglong smiled, his brows blurred.

"I'm a little tired..."

"Then sleep for a while, I'll call you again when it gets dark."

"No, I...I don't sleep..."

"Go to sleep."

Jianglong tried to open his eyes, wanting to see Lingchanzi's face clearly for the last time.

I haven't looked at you carefully for a long time, right?

I'm really not reconciled.

Jianglong closed his eyes, but in his mind was Ling Chanzi's face flushed with excitement when he ate candied haws for the first time hundreds of years ago.

Jianglong smiled with his eyes closed, the tears from the corners of his eyes slipped down silently and drowned in his hairline.

However, it is enough.

The ever-burning lights went out.

When Daoji went back, Jianglong had disappeared, leaving only a dent on the lawn where someone had obviously sat on it, and a long-burning lamp that had been extinguished.

Subdue the dragon!

Daoji ran over madly, he wanted to put the ever-burning lamp in his arms, but when he picked it up, he seemed to bump into something. Daoji took a closer look, but it was a dull bead.

Ling Zenzi...

Daoji picked up the bead, and his tears splashed on the bead, making a small splash.

You still left with him after all.

Daoji sobbed, his face suddenly changed, and he looked in Zhao Bin's direction in fear.

Zhao Bin!

Zhao Bin still sat there quietly with his legs crossed, not moving or talking, his appearance was very peaceful.

No!

Daoji's face was pale, and he carefully reached out his hand to touch Zhao Bin's face, but there was no response...

Daoji held Zhao Bin's shoulders tightly with both hands, shaking desperately.

Zhao Bin!Zhao Bin!

Daoji still couldn't help crying.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Bin moved his little finger and slowly opened his eyes.

Dao Ji looked at him blankly with tears all over his face, and then hugged him into his arms all at once.

"You're okay! You're okay!" Daoji hugged Zhao Bin tightly, but the tears flowed more fiercely than before.

Zhao Bin patted Daoji's back lightly in bewilderment, frowned suddenly, and pouted his mouth.

so bitter!

It looked as if something had been stuffed into his mouth.

Daoji calmed down his mood, and slowly released Zhao Bin.

Zhao Bin suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at the ever-burning lamp that had lost its light.

"The Venerable Subduing Dragon..."

"Let's go." Daoji lowered his eyes, not wanting Zhao Bin to see the fragility and guilt in his eyes.

Zhao Bin's eyes were dull, and he slowly turned his gaze to the beads next to the lamp as if he was in a daze.

"Ling Chanzi also..."

Dao Ji closed his eyes completely, and nodded with difficulty.

"I'm the one who's sorry for them." Zhao Bin's eyes were aching, and even his voice seemed weak.

"We are all sorry for them."

Daoji leaned against the tree trunk, not daring to open his eyes.

Because he is afraid.

He was so scared.

"Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and bury the lamps and beads together. It can be regarded as fulfilling their wish that they could not have in their lifetime!"

Daoji nodded, not daring to move, he was afraid that the deep heartache would make his life worse than death.

The pain that he suppressed because he was worried about Zhao Bin before found out that Zhao Bin was fine, all of a sudden came up, and he couldn't bear the weight.

Zhao Bin picked up the lamp and the beads like treasures, looked at the beads, and then looked at the lamp in a blink of an eye.

Lord of the Dragon...

Subduing Dragon...

Tears finally flowed down, dripped on the still-extinguished wick, and seeped in silently.

That's right, if you can't share the same nest in life, but you can share the same nest in death, it can be regarded as consummation.

In the bamboo forest on the mountain behind Lingyin Temple, Zhao Bin dug up a grave, and carefully put lamps and beads in it.

"Master, what is written on the tombstone?"

With his back to Zhao Bin, Daoji turned around slowly, with an expression that Zhao Bin could not understand.

"Just write 'love tomb'!"

love mound...

Zhao Bin tried hard not to let his hands tremble.

Whose love is buried in this love grave?

After the stele was erected, Daoji and Zhao Bin kowtowed three times in front of the grave.

Zhao Bin turned around and wanted to help Daoji up from the ground, but Daoji stood still.

"Master..."

"Let's go back to being masters and apprentices in the future."

Zhao Bin's face was miserable, but he didn't show any surprise at all. He didn't seem to be surprised at all by Daoji Society's words.

Also, how could he not understand his master?

Neither the master nor himself can afford the happiness that Jianglong and Lingchanzi exchanged for their lives.

What's more, Daoji has always valued friendship, and his deep guilt towards them has become a huge and insurmountable gap between him and Zhao Bin, separating the two of them.

Zhao Bin, I'm sorry.

I...I really can't and have no way to be with you.

The love between the four of us is intricate, I... I really don't have the confidence to miss Ling Chanzi with you, I'm afraid, you are the same, right?

The hug in Lonely Hell is sincere, no matter whether you love me more or love him more, you have entrusted your sincerity, and in the end it has become an indelible memory.

Subduing the dragon has also become the eternal pain in your life.

Jianglong left, he gave me his last life, but owed too much to Ling Chanzi.Now, he will repay the other party in this love grave, and how will I, and Zhao Bin, repay you?

When love is mixed with too much sacrifice and pain, it becomes no longer pure, becomes heavy, becomes timid and so unreachable.We are burdened too much, and we have no space and energy to bear another person's love.

So, Zhao Bin, forgive me.

Daoji stood up numbly, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest, leaving Zhao Bin alone kneeling in front of the love tomb.

Zhao Bin smiled foolishly, and Daoji's back became more and more lonely...

Jianglong, Ling Chanzi, in fact, I really envy you all.Although you didn't meet each other during your lifetime, at least you can be together carefree and without any scruples after death, and we...

Doomed to live in this pain and guilt for the rest of your life, you are much happier if you meet each other or not.

Three days later, Daoji took Zhao Bin and a child back to Lingyin Temple, and personally shaved the child, taking the Dharma name Wangqing.

One month later, Chen Liang and Bai Ling got married and gave birth to a daughter a year later. Daoji was asked to name her Chen Nianshan.

Ten years later, the abbot of Lingyin Temple passed away at the age of 98. It was said that the abbot was located in Guangliang, Jiansi Temple.

Three years later, Wangqing was formally ordained, and the Dharma became more and more advanced, and became the object of admiration among the monks of the younger generation.Dao Ji and Zhao Bin disappeared one day after receiving the precepts, and no one saw them. The apprentice Chen Liang and the host Guang Liang did not go out to look for them, but after learning the news, they shook their heads and sighed softly, without saying a word.

Time flies, and another 30 years later, Biqing, who is already the master of the temple, hurried to the presiding room, saying that he saw Daoji and Zhao Bin in the back mountain.The host, Guang Liang, was overjoyed and informed Chen Liang and Bai Ling, who already had two grandchildren, to come to the back mountain and met Dao Ji and Zhao Bin, who were already over seventy years old.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of the reunion, Daoji passed away sitting in front of a mound called Love Tomb in the bamboo forest of the back mountain.What is even more unexpected is that Zhao Bin, who has always been close to Daoji, did not show any sadness at all. Instead, he had a relieved expression on his face. He just said a few words to Wang Qing, who was already an accomplished monk, and told everyone to leave. .

Everyone asked Wangqing what Zhao Bin had said to him, but Wangqing just shook his head and said, "They are finally free." Then Wangqing, who had never shed tears, turned red eyes, leaving everyone with puzzled faces to walk away.

When they were all preparing for Daoji's mourning puja, a young novice told the host that Zhao Bin also passed away not long after they left, and before he died, he sat with Daoji in his arms, with a peaceful expression on his face.

When they arrived at the back mountain, they didn't see the bodies of the two, but two bamboos grew on the original mound called Love Tomb, supporting each other and cuddling each other.

Everyone had an epiphany, and finally understood the meaning of what Wangqing said, and they all left with laughter and tears.Since then, the mangosteen forest behind Lingyin Temple has become a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter without the order of the presiding abbot.

Since you couldn't be together during your lifetime, let's let you have a peaceful world after death to make up for the regrets during your lifetime.

End.
