【Cang Qiao】Bodhi

The plain clothes are slender and fall down.

Shuangshaluo landed right in front of Mahazi, like a white silk that would be blown away by the wind.She stretched out her hands from her sleeves, and the exposed backs of her hands and wrists were instantly cut open by the mad energy scattered all around.Blood flowed out, but she didn't care, she stubbornly pressed her palm to Mahazi's cheek, and gently wiped away the blood stains on his face.

Mahazi no longer recognized her, he felt Shuang Shaluo's approach and caress, a pair of lifeless red eyes stared at each other closely, a hoarse growl came out from the depths of his throat, and the rush of air around his body intensified, pushing Shuang Shaluo to the ground. There were also several wounds on his clothes and cheeks.

A faint sigh came from the air, light and fluttering, and disappeared in an instant.

The white Sala that gradually floated down from the double Sala trees slowly gathered beside the two of them. Shuang Shaluo held Mahazi's face, looked at the face that was born the same as her own, but at this moment was hideous and strange, and closed her eyes. Eyes, poked his head over, the red mark between the eyebrows gave off a faint halo.

Mahazi seemed to be terrified of the light, shaking his head desperately, trying to shake off the hands on his face.And that hand seemed soft and boneless, but it seemed to contain great energy. Mahazi couldn't get rid of it, so he could only watch Shuang Shaluo put the luminous mark on the black mark between his eyebrows.

The moment the imprints touched, the violent demonic energy slowly calmed down as if being appeased.After all the devilish energy calmed down, Shuang Shaluo opened her eyes. She didn't look back, but turned her back to Tie Yuqiuyi and Cang Yue Guming, and said softly:

"Wolf demon, I have already trapped the devilish energy in Mahazi's body with the method of twin births, but I can't hold it for long. If we want to completely solve this difficulty, we must destroy the inner alchemy of the twin trees."

"His killing karma is too heavy, and he has fallen into the devil... He can never be called back. If this continues, there will be a catastrophe in the human world. People will be burned, and Abi will be stained with blood. I have practiced with him for so many years, and I don't want to see him achieve such a result. .”

"After all, I... don't want to see him continue to degenerate and become a madman without God or knowledge."

"The inner alchemy is in the gap between the trunks of the double trees. Mahazi is possessed by a demon and cannot fully protect the main body of the holy tree; I use my whole body to trap him. At this time, the aura of the double trees is the weakest, and it is also the easiest to attack."

"I lived with him and practiced with him. This time, let me accompany him and die together."

She stared at the face in front of her eyes, with a tear in the corner of her eyes.

——After all, you never looked at me until the end.

■

As soon as Shuang Shaluo opened his eyes, what he saw was the Mahazi who was born exactly like himself.

At that time, she was dressed in red like fire, which was a completely different color from now.She felt that Mahazi might be more suitable for this fire-like color, because he was more cheerful and talkative than her.When the two got along, it was Mahazi who took the initiative to talk to her, but she just listened silently, making echoing single sounds from time to time.

Even so, Mahazi never got bored and continued talking with her tirelessly.They are two Sala trees, living together and cultivating together. She feels that life will continue like this until the cultivation is fruitful.

She is used to following Mahazi's figure, and her eyes are also glued to him.During those years of practice, they heard many stories from other elves and monsters in the human world, including the Huawai Bodhi tree, which is also a sacred tree with them.

Mahazi wanted to take her to watch it together, but she was timid by nature and didn't want to go out.She has never even walked down this mountain, let alone going to a place so far outside the Three Realms?She rejected Mahazi's invitation, and only said that she would guard the body for him, and asked him to let him come back within the time limit.

If time can be turned back, Shuangshaluo wants to go back to that day, and keep Mahazi, not to let him leave.If she didn't let him leave, then all the karma behind might not have happened.

After returning from Huawai Bodhi that day, the topic of Mahazi changed—from Buddhist scriptures to Huawai Bodhi, from studying scriptures to enlightenment to that Bodhizi.

She saw the dependence in his eyes, and also saw the growing attachment in his eyes.

The Buddha said that obsession is suffering.

Shuangshaluo felt that what the Buddha said was very correct, because she felt very bitter when she looked at Mahazi now.

She remembered the white clothes he told about. She looked at the fiery red robe she was wearing, and the Sala flowers blooming on the body of the double tree, which were as bright as clouds and red as flowers, and fell into deep thought.

She tried her best to cross the tribulation that time. Although it was dangerous, she got her wish.

——She finally bloomed white flowers, and her wide-sleeved dress turned from red to white.

She finally became what he was obsessed with in his heart - white clothes fluttering, and picturesque eyebrows.But she also found that she still couldn't bring him back.

In his heart and mind, he is still the same him under the Huawai Bodhi tree.

But what can she do?

She still stands by his side, co-existing with him, cultivating with him, retreating with him, and going through the catastrophe with him.So many years have passed, it has become a habit to accompany him.

Obsession is bitter, but she is used to the taste of bitterness.

She watched him force his way out and come back covered in blood.The blood dyed the red clothes into black marks one by one.He came back, but she could feel that his heart was gone.

What can she do?

Just continue to be with him.

Later, when the tribulation failed, both he and she were severely injured.

Later, it was the boring practice, and everything that happened in this short period of time.

She watched him excited, watched him rejoice, watched him fall into evil ways, and watched him fall into magic.

Her heart is already full of bitterness, and she also knows that she has become distorted-it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at her, it's fine if she looks at him; he won't be happy because of her, it's okay, it's fine if she sees him happy up.

What he wants, she will follow; what he likes, she will also be happy.

She just followed his emotions.But deep down in her heart, she still hoped that he could turn around and take a look at her.

She watched him get hurt, watched him go crazy, watched him completely degenerate, and watched him go to pieces.

This time, she couldn't stand it anymore.

It took her all her life to cultivate for this moment of skin-to-skin contact with him.

——This time, will you look at me?

——If there is reincarnation, in the next life, can you still see me?

The dragon and the wolf king's claw worked together to split the barely visible gap between the two Sala trees.The moment the branches are broken, the light shines brightly, like daytime.

I saw a round bead emerging from the main body of the Sala, half black and half white, with brilliance flowing, and the aura is compelling.

Looking closely, the black half seems to be fading slowly, as if it is fighting with the white half.In an instant, the black still couldn't withstand the tight pressing of the white, and it melted away bit by bit, and finally disappeared.

On the other hand, Shuang Shaluo snorted lightly, with a mouthful of blood dripping from the heart of his lips.That touch of vermilion dyed the front of the chest, dotted with stars, like red plums.

But there was no trace of sadness on her face.Seeing Mahazi's dazed and unresponsive appearance, she touched Mohazi's blood-stained lips tentatively, let out a sigh of relief, and whispered softly, which contained pulses and pulses. Tenderness, but also full of sorrow:

"Mahazi, we will redeem our sins together in the next life..."

That soft word dissipated in the light, bringing the sound of pearls and jade shattering.

The spirit pill was shattered, scattered in the sky and the earth, turned into little stars, and disappeared in an instant.

Touched by the scattered brilliance, those withered vegetation began to stretch out their withered veins inch by inch, and returned to their original green appearance.

The light enters the forest, and the vegetation is clear.

Shuangshaluo still maintained the previous posture, holding Mahazi's face tightly, but the light between her brows had long since disappeared.Her gaze traced the eyebrows and eyes of the other party, and the corners of the eyes and brows were filled with satisfaction and peace of mind.

But her feet have already started to become transparent, slowly dissipating together with Mahazi's.Dressed in white clothes and a shadow of a red shirt, they began to turn into dust from bottom to top, gradually turning into nothingness.

When that point disappeared and spread to the chest and abdomen, Mahazi slowly opened his eyes.The eyes are the same color as Shuangshaluo, the color of black mercury, without the madness of demons, nor the ignorance of attachment.He noticed Shuang Shaluo in front of him, his eyes moved, and he spoke, although he was hoarse, he was no longer crazy:

"Sharo..."

The last fluttering sound, like a sigh, brought the last figures of the two of them, and finally turned into a ray of light between the sky and the earth, and disappeared the next moment.

The trees full of salas suddenly withered.

The flowers scattered all over the ground also slowly withered and curled up, revealing the color of the dust on the surface, with dark red blood stains on them one after another.

The surrounding vegetation is gradually luxuriant, while the double sala trees are gradually declining.

The bodhi seeds that had just been buried in the petals were shining brightly at this moment, like a big dipper in the night sky, guiding stars.

As the brilliance grew, two bodhi seeds suddenly broke away from the knot and floated in the midair. Before the two Sala trees withered completely, they were buried in the crack split open by the blade.

——This one is obsession that becomes a demon, and you can't get what you ask for, and you feel resentful in your heart.

——This one is the companionship of twins, ending in hopelessness, with lingering grievances.

Qiao Tathagata lay quietly in Cang Yue Guming's arms, all the white clothes on his chest were dyed red.There were a few gleams of light falling on him, but they couldn't change the situation where his life was hanging by a thread.

There are eight sufferings in life, and the twenty-six have karma. It is difficult to make a pair in Mira, and the love and hatred last forever.

The suffering of the worldly relationship and affection felt by these two bodhi seeds means——

complain for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Tie Yu Qiuyi put away Mu Long, saw Cang Yue Gu Ming vomit a big mouthful of blood, and hurried forward to support his crumbling body.

Cang Yue Gu Ming looked extremely weak.He lost a lot of blood, and his purple-black robe became heavy without any change, but when he put his hand on it, he could feel a shocking dampness, and when he took it off, his palm was stained with a layer of dripping blood .

He was panting, and the hand on Qiao Rulai's chest was trembling slightly, but when Tie Yu Qiuyi approached, he found that his hand was still emitting a faint, lavender light.

——It was Cang Yue Guming's evil spirit, which was continuously pushed into Qiao Tathagata's body.

Half of Cang Yue Guming's long hair has turned silver-gray, and his eyes are already wolf eyes.He looked like he was struggling to support the human race, using all his strength to circulate the empty demon power in his body, just to win a little life for the person in his arms.

But the look of decay on Qiao Tathagata's face never stopped.The slightly trembling eyelashes are gorgeous red, but they can't cast a little color on the pale cheeks.The blood at the corner of the mouth has not dried up, and it spreads over the cheeks and sinks into the temples, dyeing a handful of white hair red.

One is dying irretrievably while the other is doing everything in his power to save him.

Tie Yu asked for clothes to support Cang Yue Guming, he could feel the weakness and trembling of the king's body beside him, and he knew that Cang Yue Guming might not be able to hold on if this continued.Before thinking too much, Tie Yuqiuyi reached into his bosom, took out a small box, and lifted the lid of the box with his thumb, revealing a dark red pill.

He handed the opened small box forward, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, this is 'Fire Alchemy'. Please take it, Your Majesty, to ease the injury."

Cang Yue Guming didn't look up, and said: "To Qiao Tathagata."

"Your Majesty." Tie Yu Qiuyi's eyebrows twitched, "'Fire Alchemy' is made by the monster clan, and it cannot be used by people of the clan."

"To Qiao Tathagata." Cang Yue Guming still didn't look up, "Don't let the lonely king repeat it for the third time."

"Your Majesty." Tie Yuqiuyi lowered his eyes, "This medicine is overbearing, it is only suitable for monster physiques. Qiao Tathagata is a human race, taking this medicine with him will only harm him."

"..." Hearing the words "Qiao Tathagata", Cang Yue Guming slowly turned his head.He looked at Tie Yu begging for clothes, and asked, "Is there a way to save him?"

"Yes." Tie Yuqiuyi looked into Cang Yue Guming's eyes, and replied word by word:

"Your Majesty took this medicine, and used the method of intercourse and energy transfer to transfer the power of the medicine to Qiao Tathagata through the Buddha's power in the king's body."

"What...?!" Cang Yue Guming didn't expect such an answer, a pair of blue wolf eyes wide open, his pale face was full of panic.

"Yes, the method of intercourse and crossing Qi." Tie Yu Qiuyi nodded with his usual expression, "How to make a decision, please let the king consider it."

■

Cang Yue Guming looked at Tie Yu Qiuyi, his eyes shifted from the other's face to the red pill, with a complicated expression.

He put the bodhi seed on the tip of his heart, held him, protected him, and didn't want to hurt him a bit.He once thought about accompanying him hand in hand, but never... never had the slightest thought of presumptuousness.

Bodhi to him is the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, the faith he looks up to, and the warmth he wants to get close to.

And... the one in his arms at the moment is Bodhizi, who is also Qiao Tathagata—the one who he watched grow up, who was happy and sad, angry and ignorant, who would get angry, indulge him, tolerate him unconditionally, and even... Will protect his Qiao Tathagata with his life.

He looked at his closed eyes, pale face, blood-stained lips, red mark between his brows, red and white hair, and blood-stained clothes.He described his appearance carefully with his eyes, and engraved him into the bottom of his heart.

He knows he is different.He has seen his appearance when he was born, he has also seen his handsomeness and elegance after he grows up; he has seen his persistence in asking himself to become a monk, and he has also seen his tolerance in the face of all kinds of difficulties.He knows his every frown and smile, every move, and he has seen his joys and sorrows, love, hate, anger and ignorance.He knew that he had such a vivid appearance, with the most vivid emotions as a human being, and the most compassionate mind as a Buddha.

He knows that he is different, and he is very happy with him like this.

He likes him like this.

It was almost at this moment that Cang Yue Guming noticed his emotion for Qiao Tathagata—different from his dependence and trust on Bodhizi, but a kind of love and admiration from the heart and instinct.

He looked at Qiao Rulai, remembering that sad quarrel and that absurd kiss.

Why did he kiss him?

He now knows the answer.

Cang Yue Guming lowered his head, pulled Qiao Rulai into his arms, and placed a kiss on the mark between his brows.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"sorry."

"The lonely king will save you."

"Even if you hate the lonely king..."

"The lonely king will not let you die."

Cang Yue Guming raised his head, and stretched out his hand to Tie Yu Qiuyi.

■

There is the delicate sound of lush branches and leaves passing by, and a faint and weak breath in my arms.

Cang Yue Guming tried his best to maintain his human form, and quickly ran up the mountain behind Longquan Temple with Qiao Tathagata in his arms.

Tie Yu begged for clothes and asked himself to go back to Longquan Temple. He only said that he would help Feng Xiaoyao take care of the temple, and then he would go to the town to help Shi Yanwen and others after the matter was settled.

He is making space for himself, Cang Yue Guming knows it in his heart.

He wanted to take Qiao Tathagata away from that open space, even though the elixir of the Sala Twin Trees had been destroyed, Cang Yue Guming still had concerns.He parted ways with Tie Yu Qiuyi, turned around and headed for the dense forest behind the mountain.

— Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and find a place for two of them.

Cang Yue Guming could clearly feel the emptiness of the monster power in his body. 'Fire alchemy' can only heal his seriously injured body, but it can't make up for the lost demon power. His demon power has gradually weakened, his human figure has collapsed, and demonized lines appear on his cheeks. The robe fluttered against the wind, bringing out a strong smell of blood.

Suddenly, Cang Yue Guming smelled a quiet and faint breath, he didn't stop walking, his thoughts suddenly rose, and then he turned his feet and turned his direction towards the source of the smell.

There are dense forests and deep luxuriant bamboos.

There is a bamboo forest stretching halfway up the mountain on the back of the mountain. Xu Shi has experienced many years, and the bamboos have grown very tall, with luxuriant bamboo leaves and a dense patch.The sun shines through the gaps in the densely layered leaves, and a layer of light falls.

The moment Cang Yue Guming entered the bamboo forest, he felt the soles of his feet go soft, and the monster power could hardly support the human limbs.He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the smell of blood dissipated instantly in his mouth, urging the last bit of evil spirit to sneak into the depths of the bamboo forest with Qiao Tathagata in his arms.

Not far away, he found a relatively dark and secluded place.Cang Yue Guming hugged Qiao Tathagata with one arm, and took off his heavy cloak and coat with the other hand, and spread them on the ground.The moment he lowered his head, he only felt a heat in his head and a coldness in his hands. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw were not the long and slender fingers of humans, but the toes and claws of wolves.

But his face and arms were still human. He quickly and gently placed Qiao Rulai on the laid clothes, knees on the ground, lowered his body and kissed the cold forehead again, and said softly:

"Qiao Rulai, I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, Cang Yue Guming's airflow became disordered.He could no longer maintain his current appearance, and after a muffled grunt, he turned back into that big silver-gray wolf.

The wolf's blue sea-like eyes looked at Qiao Tathagata lying in the king's robe, the dark color in his eyes changed several times, and he finally made up his mind, leaning on Qiao Tathagata in the current posture, arching his cool and moist nose The loose strands of hair on his forehead.

——Lonely king, don't regret...
