Buddhism

Spring, summer, autumn, winter and spring after another, the time is fleeting, and the white horse passes through the gap.

Everything is revived, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the clouds and mountains, the greenery is full of greenery, and the green leaves are rustled by the breeze.Under the tree, there was a young monk sitting cross-legged in meditation. The monk closed his eyes, his brows and eyes were stretched, and he was gentle and peaceful.He just sat like this all the time, and the leaves fell on his shoulders and head, and he didn't even notice it.Just like a Buddha statue carved on a stone wall, it stands still, neither sad nor happy, neither sad nor angry.

As the young man approached, he was dressed in azure clothes that fit him well, showing his slender figure even more. His waist-length hair was tied up high with a blue brocade belt.He was biting a piece of weed in his mouth, and he could see a pair of pear dimples on his face from time to time when he pursed his lips. The baby fat on his face had not completely faded away, and his skin was like porcelain skin. Sentimental, even more youthful and cute.The young man's eyes are like clear springs, his eyes are piercing.He shouted to the old monk who was in meditation in the distance: "Kongqing, Mu Youfang is leaving, bid farewell to us in Linzhongyuan, go back!"

Kong Qing opened his eyes, his dark pupils looked deep, he nodded, got up and went to Lin Zhongyuan together with Nan Ming.

Seven years have passed, and both Nan Ming and Kong Qing have grown from half-grown children to lush teenagers.Nan Ming is taller than Kong Qing by half a head, and his steps are brisk and free and easy.Kong Qing walked steadily, wearing a blue-gray gown with a straight back.

Mu Youfang sat at the stone table in the courtyard, talking with Qing Mo.Chitong sat beside her peacefully, drinking tea quietly.Seeing that Kong Qing and Nan Ming had returned, Mu Youfang got up and nodded slightly: "You are back. I am here to say goodbye. The capital city is far away. I need to go there in advance to settle down, and then prepare for the exam. .”

Kong Qing looked at the gentle and refined Mu Youfang in front of him, and sighed in his heart.Since he regained his memory, he is not just the gentle and honest Mu Youfang who is ignorant of everything.After his mind was clear, he regained his goals and dreams, and he persisted and worked hard.Over the years, with his hard work and hard work, he has passed the college and township exams, and won No. 1 in both the college and township exams, and the No. 1 in the township exam is called Xie Yuan.Now Mu Youfang can also be called Mu Jieyuan, which is a respectful title and an affirmation of his knowledge.

Now he needs to rush to the capital to take part in the general examination. After passing the general test, he still needs to take part in the palace test.The palace examination was held within the palace walls, and if the emperor was in a good mood, he would personally supervise it.The palace examination is the most severe and the most important, and I will study hard in the cold window.Of course, some luck is still needed. If the actual ranking given by the supervisory department is not satisfied with the emperor's wishes, he can also change the ranking himself.If you get the title of No. [-] Scholar, you can skyrocket and start your official career quite high.

Now he has to go to Beijing to take the exam. If he passes the exam, he can be an official for the people and benefit the people. This is a good thing.Kong Qing was gratified: "Then you go on this journey, be more careful on the road. I wish you success overnight and your dreams come true."

Mu Youfang smiled and nodded slightly: "Thank you!"

Nan Ming casually picked up the fruit on the stone table, took a bite, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Let's go at dawn tomorrow!" Mu Youfang replied.

"Just you?" Nan Ming continued to ask.

Before Mu Youfang could answer, Qing Mo said first, "I'll go with you too, to see the excitement in the capital."

Nan Ming looked at Qing Mo with a smile on his face and bright eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Are you sure you're just here to join in the fun?"

Qing Mo smiled unabated, nodded: "Yes!"

Nan Ming gave Qing Mo a sideways look, and cursed secretly: "Idiot!" Then he ignored Qing Mo and ate the fruit by himself.

It's such a simple thing for them as monsters to go to the capital to watch the excitement, and it only takes a day to go back and forth.Why do you want to follow Mu Youfang in a carriage, the journey of more than a month is really a crime.Seven years have passed, and he still doesn't understand what he wants, what a fool!

Kong Qing nodded, thinking that this matter is feasible: "With Qing Mo accompanying us on the road, there is a guarantee, so we can rest assured." But the premise is that Qing Mo is reliable.

The capital is prosperous and full of fish and dragons. Chi Tong looked at Qing Mo thoughtfully. With his reckless temperament, he might make troubles. In order to prevent him from causing trouble to Mu Youfang, and also to protect himself.Chi Tong sealed Qing Mo's spiritual power before Qing Mo left, and after the spiritual power was sealed, the evil spirit on him also decreased a lot.Chi Tong used a thousand-year-old ginseng to make him a pendant, and told him not to take it off, which would help cover up his evil spirit.

Thousand-year-old ginseng is an elixir, and with the cover of the elixir, even a Taoist monk with advanced morals in the capital would not easily notice that he is a demon.After everything was settled properly, Chi Tong was relieved to let him go down the mountain.Although Qing Mo, who had been sealed with spiritual power, was a little unhappy, she also knew that Chi Tong was for his own good, so she reluctantly accepted it.

In the evening, everyone went down the mountain with Mu Youfang, and came to Mujia Village and the people in Mujia Village practiced for him together.In the past seven years, the weather has been smooth, and the Mu family village has gradually recovered. They no longer need their relief, and they all live a good life with ample food and clothing.

They cooked a sumptuous dinner and prepared drinks, and the whole village was beaming with joy and laughter.They have watched Mu Youfang go all the way to the present. He has no parents, and the people in their Mujia Village are his eternal relatives. Watching him step by step, they feel extremely gratified and proud.

Mu Chaosheng held Mu Youfang's shoulders and toasted them, with a big smile in his eyes: "Thank you for taking care of Youfang all the time. If it weren't for you, Youfang wouldn't have achieved this."

Mu Youfang also raised his wine bowl and smiled, and echoed to Kong Qing and the others: "Yes, without your care and guidance, I certainly would not have achieved what I am today so easily and smoothly."

"We respect you," everyone in Mujia Village raised their wine bowls and echoed loudly.Everyone looked up and drank the wine in the bowl, and laughed heartily as they watched Kong Qing and the others drink up the wine.

Everyone talked to each other, and they all praised Mu Youfang for his extraordinary talent. He won the first place in the exam every time. He must be a champion.It poured out like money, and buried the smiling Mu Youfang in it.

Mu Yuyu and Mu Chunhua came over together, holding up wine bowls and toasting to several people, smiling sweetly.Chi Tong's expression remained the same, Qing Mo's smile remained undiminished, Kong Qing drank and pursed his lips, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.Nan Ming raised his eyebrows and folded his arms to watch the fun.One of the two likes Qingmo who often comes to Mujia Village to do good deeds and give away things, while the other likes Chitong who is indifferent.Back then, the two were straightforward, young and vigorous. After a period of crush, they both confessed their love to the person they liked, but they were both rejected.

Chitong and Qingmo were stunned by this sudden confession, Chitong still refused directly and flatly indifferently.Qing Mo is different, he doesn't know what he likes, so he doesn't reject it so neatly.The one who likes him is Mu Yuyu, Mu Youfang's cousin, and he is often with Mu Youfang, so she mistakenly thinks that Qingmo has a crush on her, so she always runs to Mu Youfang's house, so she She has always had hope in her heart, and she shows her kindness to Qing Mo in every way.In less than a month, Qing Mo was frightened by such enthusiasm, and hid back in the cloud mountain for more than two months without going down the mountain again.

Waiting and waiting until Qing Mo came down the mountain, she heard persuasion from her cousin, and after thinking about it, Mu Yuyu knew that Qing Mo was just ignorant and didn't like her.She couldn't get what she wanted, and she was sad for half a year. Later, as she grew older, she knew that the most difficult thing to come was feelings. After a long time, she accepted it calmly.

Chitong was usually seldom talkative and cold-faced, and he didn't come to Mu's Village often. Mu Chunhua fell in love with him at first sight.Mu Chunhua has a gentle and kind heart, her love for Chitong is pure and hot, and she is careful not to be profane.Therefore, she never thought that one day she would truly be favored by Chitong, so she didn't suffer much after being rejected, instead she accepted it as if it was a matter of concern.

After two years, the matter faded away, and they were betrothed to a family in a nearby village.When sending them off for their wedding, Qing Mo and the others all came, and they could be regarded as sending them off as friends.Now they are wearing women's heads, have already had children, and are no longer the ignorant and fearless young girls.

Seven years have passed, and I no longer care about the innocence and ignorance at that time, the most is nostalgia.Mu Yuyu and Mu Chunhua are already mothers, and both have left traces of time.But Qing Mo and Chi Tong are young and still have no baptism of time.They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests alone, free and easy, which they cannot envy.

Relieved, they generously came over to toast with them.Their daring to love and hate is a rare free and easy temperament.

Everyone was laughing and laughing, and it was very lively.After tossing and tossing until the middle of the night, he fell asleep after being full of wine and meat.

The next day, when everyone was still drowsy, Mu Youfang and Qing Mo set off.Chi Tong, Kong Qing and Nan Ming all stood on the mountain and watched them off.

Mu Youfang was so drunk that he lay dizzy and rested in the carriage.Qing Mo was in high spirits, driving the carriage energetically.This carriage is a rite of passage for people from Mu's Village to donate money to Mu Youfang.Let him be more comfortable on the road, and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Mu Youfang is grateful to the people in Mujia Village, which is different from the innocent gratitude to Qing Mo and others.He wanted to bring the Mu family village on the road to wealth when he became famous.It is necessary to let ordinary people like Mujia Village live a better life.

. . . . . .

Nan Ming was lying on a big rock, idly shaking his calf with Erlang's legs crossed, looking around in every possible way bored.It's been seven years and it's no fun anymore.Now that Qing Mo has left, there is no one to quarrel with, it is extremely boring.

As a monster, if you want to be immortal, you must devote yourself to cultivation.But he has been asleep for more than 1000 years, and he is really unwilling to continue such boring cultivation.After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he could practice in another way, that is, he could eliminate evil and punish evil, and bravely become a Taoist priest to travel around the world.Accumulating merit in this way is also practice, but it is a different method.

In the dead of night, Nanming knocked on Chitong's door, whispering that he had something to discuss, and Chitong let him in.In an instant, a bright light was lit in the dark room.Sitting on the wooden bench, he looked at Chitong and said that there was nothing wrong in the mountains, and he didn't want to devote himself to cultivation, so he wanted to go out for a walk, as an experience.In short, it was too boring in Yunshan, he didn't want to stay any longer.

Chi Tong had no objection to this, and just said, let it be as he pleases.As an elder, I told him not to cause trouble when he went out. There were a lot of people practicing Taoism and truth outside, and they were the monsters and evil beings who were caught.Although they don't have karmic obstacles on them, it doesn't prevent some villains from being greedy for fame and fame, so they are forced to accept them.

Nan Ming nodded, indicating that he knew.He also said that he will come back after leaving this time, the time of his return is not fixed, but he will come back anyway.

Akihito nodded.Nan Ming is more reliable than Qing Mo, although he has a carefree temper, he also knows how to behave in the world, so Chi Tong just let him go without saying anything.

Chi Tong looked thoughtfully at Nan Ming's leaving back.He has been cultivating in Yunshan for a long time, and he has never seen a white snake that is so powerful that it can become a fairy. It can be seen that she has been hiding in the cave in the belly of Yunshan for a long time.The son of the White Snake has been sealed in a cave for thousands of years, and his cultivation speed is astonishingly comparable to his. Last year, he experienced another thunder calamity. Dragon scales appeared on his body, and the dragon horns were strong. He is already in the form of a dragon.This strength can be obtained after two thunder tribulations, Chi Tong pondered, he has the blood of a dragon in his body!The opportunity to come out of the mountain this time is accidental, so I'm afraid it won't be peaceful.

Nan Ming didn't like parting, so he left only a letter to Kong Qing and left.

The next morning, Kong Qing read the letter stuck at his door and sighed slightly.Everyone has left, and now only he and Chitong are left.

The birds in the yard were chirping non-stop, the river in the distance was gurgling, and the green smoke was rising above the kitchen, and a burst of fragrance penetrated into Kong Qing's sense of smell.The breeze came head-on, blowing the corners of his blue-gray clothes, Kong Qing restrained his expression, bent his mouth and walked towards the kitchen.
