Picking Hibiscus in Shejiang River

To Cherian:

"Okay! There must be one of them. If you don't believe me, count them."

Seeing that Che Lian was not moving, she just stared at herself in a daze for a long time, Yue Mingxi touched her nose, took his hand and put the string of restored relics on for him, looked at him a few times at the end, and said with a smile :

"This relic bead is very beautiful, and it matches the red dress very well."

As soon as the words fell, the evening bell rang in this empty ancient temple, calling back Che Lian's mind.He looked down at the treasure he had lost and recovered, and said calmly: "The benefactor doesn't think that this red dress is very incompatible with me, an old monk like me?"

Yuemingxi replied naturally: "What doesn't match? I think it looks very good."

"..."

Seeing that Yue Mingxi spoke the truth from the heart without the slightest hint of flattery, Che Lian only felt a slight warmth in her heart, and once again tightly grasped the relic on her wrist.

Yue Mingxi looked at him, and suddenly said: "Elder Xitang must have been a great beauty when he was young."

The joy just now hadn't had time to fully digest, and suddenly heard such surprise words, Che Lian tried her best to suppress the turbulence of her heart, and said:

"……how you said that?"

Yue Mingxi smiled and said: "Although the elder of Xitang is quite old, but when you look at the facial features carefully, under the vicissitudes of life, he is full of romantic beauty. He must have been beautiful...beautiful..."

Che Lian was taken aback, not knowing why Yue Mingxi stammered suddenly; he saw his eyes staring past the elders beside him towards the front of the court, and a strange blush appeared on his cheeks.

"beauty……"

Che Lian turned her head and followed his gaze to look at the soft figure who appeared by the tree at some time.

Kong Fan supported the green bamboo hat on his head, smiled and looked towards them.

Rebirth

When Yuemingxi saw the charming monk in black clothes walking on the quiet spring path not far away, he suddenly felt like a deer bumped into him. He felt that he had never seen such a moving color in his life, and because of There was a vague sense of familiarity in him, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and he couldn't even care about the elder Xitang beside him.

Although he knew at a glance that this was a wandering monk from outside the secular world, and he shouldn't have looked at him with such presumptuous eyes, but the young master Yue had never been resistant to beautiful women, and seeing him walking towards him at this moment made him even more excited Filled with joy, I stepped forward and wanted to talk to this master who didn't know where he came from.

Seeing that the monk had already stood still in front of him, the pair of coquettish and unspeakable peach blossom eyes under the bamboo hat seemed to be looking at him, and then fell on the slightly stiff elder Xitang at the side, he blinked his eyes and changed into a person looking forward With a cute appearance, he said, "This master..."

"Long time no see, young master, but you still remember the little monk?"

The beautiful monk in front of him suddenly opened his mouth, but he said something that Jiaoyue Mingxi was caught off guard.He looked at this quite young master in some confusion, and really couldn't think of any past relationship with him at his age; after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly fell on his sleeveless Outer, white and soft hands.

It seemed that in a long time ago, he had indeed seen such a pair of hands that were gentle and caring for him.

"I, I remembered!" Yuemingxi, who finally found the truth from his vague childhood memories, was very excited, and immediately ignored the rules, he took Kong Fan's hand and said happily, "Master, you came to Yunyou many years ago. In Jiangzhou City, the benefactor who saved Mingxi's life?"

God knows how much he looks forward to seeing his mysterious benefactor again in the future since he was lucky enough to recover his life when he was seven years old. Who knows that there is nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. The monk's house bumped into him.

He tightly held the hand of the beauty benefactor, feeling excited and moved in his heart, he really wanted to talk to him more eagerly, and because he was bewitched by this rare beauty, he didn't seem to dislike him Touching, I actually wanted to ask him if he had any plans to return to vulgarity and swim with him.

The corners of his lips were curled up in his imagination, but he saw the beautiful benefactor smiled lightly, raised his finger to the elder of the West Hall who had been neglected by him for a long time, and said again: "Then young master, do you still remember this master?"

Yue Mingxi nodded because he didn't understand, and said naturally: "This is the elder of the West Hall of Sanbao Temple, so I naturally remember it."

Kong Fan paused when he heard the words, looked at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Although the beauty looks good when she smiles, Yue Mingxi faintly feels that there is something weird about it, and at first glance, it seems a little indescribably sad.

After seeing the beauty's benefactor laughed, he pulled his hand out of his palm calmly, and he clenched his fist lightly with some reluctance, feeling a little dazed in his heart, not knowing what he said wrong just now .

"Senior brother," he saw the beautiful benefactor walking in front of the elder Xitang, "please take a step to speak."

After speaking, he glanced at him, the meaning in it was self-evident.

The less he is, the owner of the villa is always a knowledgeable person. Seeing that the beauty, Engong, is clearly an old acquaintance with the elder of the West Hall, if the two start to chat, there will be no room for him, an outsider from Buddhism, to intervene here, so he voluntarily left the monastery in desperation , went to Xiangji Kitchen in Dongtou to beg for food.

Che Lian looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar back, and her previously bright vision became blurred again.The weakening of the lifeline is especially obvious at this moment of silence. He withdrew his eyes that had been following Yue Mingxi, and looked at Kong Fan's hands that were tightly held by his lover before. The wrinkled knuckles froze for a moment. The blue veins popped up, but quickly calmed down.

"What else is there to say, as you can see, I am already dying."

He said calmly, and then looked straight into Kong Fan's eyes: "What? Seeing that the senior brother is near the end of his life, and the master has completely forgotten him, he wants to take advantage of the gap to seize love, so that you could not intervene in the past." Any regrets for the two of us?"

Kong Fan frowned slightly when he heard this, sighed softly for a while, and said: "Senior brother really thinks so?"

Chelian was speechless for a moment.

Of course he knew that his junior brother, who seemed to be scheming, but actually had no plans to take advantage of it, had no intention of taking advantage of it. His demeanor of deliberately keeping a distance from Yuemingxi earlier explained everything. The person who said this was nothing more than He judges the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain; just recalling the hot eyes when Ming'er looked at him just now, his already numb heart feels cramped again.

He has exhausted all the bells, and he knows that he can no longer attract Ming'er, who only loves beauty, with this old and weak body. From now on, he can never remember the beautiful woman who took half of his life back then.

Accompanied by the loss of body temperature, the familiar severe pain hit his crumbling old body. Che Lian leaned against the pine and gasped slowly, and could vaguely see the past flowing before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He recalled that when Kongfan and Yuemingxi were sitting side by side on the eaves of the Mingjing Villa and talking, he was actually listening clearly in the corridor.

Yue Mingxi said that it is not impossible for him to like Shangkong Fan, but love is nothing more than a first-come, first-served, since he has already liked the great beauty, he will not allow himself to be emotional with other beauties, that's all.

So, what if he meets Kongfan Junior Brother first?

The answer is also obvious.

Che Lian knew that apart from being born with a good skin, Che Lian knew that there was nothing good about her former self. She was not as understanding and gentle as her younger brother. If he is identified, how can he compete with his junior brother.

And now his worst worry has finally come true like a nightmare, Ming'er looks at Kong Fan, just like looking at him who was also deeply in love with him.

He didn't know if his reincarnated self would still have time to meet Ming'er, and if his junior brother would really be able to harden his heart to reject a warm, intelligent and handsome young man who was also the reincarnation of his master. He went to think about other things.

He fell into samadhi under the pines, silently recited the reincarnation mantra for himself, then raised his head to look at the two snowmen who were not far away, and closed his eyes peacefully.

……

Che Lian thought that she had really left the world this time, and she just waited for her to open her eyes and walk in the Buddha's land, begging the World Honored One who had been begging all her life for a good baby; Yan, he is still in his meditation room.

Kong Fan was sitting on the head of his bed, holding the amber rosary in his hand and closing his eyes to rest his mind. When he heard the movement, he raised a pair of clear eyebrows and looked at him, calling out crisply:

"Brother."

Che Lian frowned and looked at him for a long time, and said, "Junior brother, why are you dead?"

Kong Fan laughed dumbly, stood up and pushed open a small window, allowing the fragrance of flowers and birds outside the window to flow into the quiet meditation room, and then said: "Senior brother, you can see clearly, this is still the world of the world, not some Buddha Land of Ultimate Bliss. "

Che Lian struggled to stand up, and found that although she was still an old man, the poison that was flowing in her body was no longer causing trouble, and the stagnation in her nose was also swept away, and she felt refreshed like never before. ;After realizing a certain possibility, he looked towards Kongfan in disbelief:

"This poison can only be cured by Ming'er's painstaking efforts in her previous life, how did you, junior brother..."

Before the words fell, he had already understood.

Kong Fan's eyes fell on the string of relics that were tightly held by his senior brother even in his sleep, and he was silent for a while before saying:

"But do you think that after the master of the last life came down from the mountain, he really didn't care about you anymore? He knew very early on that the poison in your body needed his heart and blood to detoxify, and before he died, he sent the people from Yuejiazhuang to take the poison that had been practiced for a long time. A good antidote has been delivered to me, just in case something happens to you in the future."
