【Cang Qiao】Bodhi

The attack of the coalition forces can be described as wildfire burning the weeds. It was so fast and powerful that it caught the gate of the ground by surprise.

After entering the Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda, everyone successfully found Cangjingren, Qianxue Guming, Cyclops and others who were brainwashed and blocked by the Dimen.According to the strategic deployment previously laid out by Shi Yanwen and Tie Yuqiuyi, the coalition forces dispatched a siege and successfully rescued the brainwashed people.

During the march, the bell at the gate of the earth never rang.

Tie Yu Qiuyi knew that this was the man's work, but restraining him this time was not a long-term strategy.He didn't dare to delay too much, and quickly adjusted the distribution of combat power and combat strategy, split up with Shi Yanwen, and quickly marched from two directions to the deep Wugou.

And when everyone entered the Wugou Room, they only saw the old monk in gray robe standing alone in the huge space.

Nian Daluo seemed to be in a daze, his black mist-like pupils were slightly distracted, and he didn't notice the intrusion of everyone.Tie Yuqiuyi held Mulong in his hand and looked at Shi Yanwen. The two raised their troops almost at the same time. Longquan and Mulong both attacked in the direction of Niandura.

Before the blade arrived, the sword energy came first, and the blade of the sword came mixed with boundless coldness of killing, and hit Niandara's heart and face directly.Only now did the gray-robed monk come back to his senses, pointing his toes a bit, his figure receding, but he never thought that his stepping back would send him into the encirclement and suppression battle circle that had been set up long ago.

"Flying Scale Sunder Armor."

"Stepping Kill · Broken Dreams."

The big knife is condensed, the small knife is dexterous, the offensive complements each other, and the knife is awe-inspiring.I saw Wan Xueye and Feng Xiaoyao attack Niandara's back heart from one left and one right, and the sword draws two beautiful arcs that can kill people under the cold white light between Wugou.

Nian Daluo couldn't dodge in time, his robe was torn, and the cold iron pierced into the flesh, bringing out scarlet and viscous blood.

But just as he was stabbed in the back, before he could dodge, a knife and a sword roared in front of him again. Nian Daluo looked at Longquan Julong approaching the front door with a cold light, but the corner of his mouth pulled out a strange arc.

Swords and soldiers enter the body, and life is scattered.

Nian Daluo fell under the swords and swords of the crowd, and his whole body was covered with blood.A gray monk's robe was stained dark with dark red blood, and his shriveled, sallow face was covered with blood.

He fell on the puddle of his own blood, his eyes never closed.The breath didn't stop, but it was short and shallow, and there was a dry sound like a bellows deep in the throat.

The pair of dark eyes looked at the arc-shaped dome between Wugou, as if looking at the white dome, and seemed to be looking at something through the dome.The dry and cracked lips were soaked in blood, showing a strange and stern color. When the lips opened and closed, the sound they made was like a dried fish, dry, hoarse and lifeless.

He repeated it over and over again, as if spelling hidden words, one sound at a time, one word at a time, and he would not stop until he was breathless.

Everyone could hear clearly, the words that Niandara repeated before his death were:

——Be sure to bring... back.

"Cang... wolf..."

Qiao Rulai looked at the silver-gray giant wolf standing in front of her, and tightly clenched the white crystal rosary in her hand, causing a sharp pain in her palm.He saw himself reflected in those blue eyes, and subconsciously rushed forward.

But when he met those eyes, he retracted the foot that had already taken an inch.

Those beautiful eyes are still as blue as the vast sea, but mixed with the coldness and strangeness that Qiao Rulai has never seen before.Cang Yue Guming walked forward step by step, his figure gradually transformed into a human being, and the layered robes were lifted up by the mountain wind, making hunting noises, covering the only passage behind him.He looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him, his eyebrows were still the same as he remembered, but the obsession in his eyes was something Qiao Tathagata had never seen before.

The lingering small voices echoed in his head, either one person or several people, lingering in his ears, so that he couldn't tell which voice belonged to him.Cang Yue Guming stretched out his hand to Qiao Tathagata, his blue eyes lost the slightest expression, he raised his arm and caused the royal robe to move, and the pearls and jade on it collided with a small voiceless sound.

"Dimen needs you, I need you, and Great Wisdom needs you."

"Bodhi son, follow me back."

After he said a word, he took a step forward. Although the godless eyes were slack, they seemed to have a terrifying power.Qiao Rulai watched Cang Yue Guming walking towards her step by step, knowing that the other party was in danger, she should turn around and run away.But when he looked at Cang Yue Gu Ming's appearance, the pain in his heart suddenly spread to all corners of his body, forcing his eyes and nose to be sore and warm.A pair of feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move half an inch.

He watched as the pale hand gradually approached him inch by inch, the fingertips rubbed against the slightly shaggy forehead hair, brushed over the skin that touched the hair, and finally stopped at the point between his eyebrows.Nuan Jin's eyes were filled with mist and light, and he looked at Cang Yue Guming in front of him with half tenderness and half apology.Qiao Rulai stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the cool face of her lover in memory, but due to the difference in arm length, she could only touch the pyramid-shaped pendant on his chest.

The coldness coming from the fingertips seemed to be unable to melt away, and Qiao Rulai blinked frequently, as if stubbornly refusing to close it.He felt that the fingers touching the center of his eyebrows had a power similar to the sound of a bell, melting the reason and consciousness in his brain bit by bit.Qiao Rulai knew what Cang Yue Guming was going to do to him, he never escaped, nor did he want to escape, he stared at Cang Yue Guming's still calm face, and said softly:

"Canglang, I'm sorry..."

The voice melted away, and Qiao Tathagata felt that his consciousness was fading away, but at this moment, an unprecedented high heat suddenly came from his wrist, which woke him up instantly.

He felt the weight of the bodhi seeds tied to his wrists gradually getting lighter, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two spots of light flying between the two of them.

Cang Yue Guming seemed to be scalded by the Buddha's light, the hand on Qiao Rulai's forehead shrank back as if in pain, and turned to cover the side of his head, with a painful expression on his face.There seemed to be flickering lights and shadows flowing through those blue eyes, Cang Yue Guming pressed his forehead, looked at the white figure in front of him who also showed concern in his eyes, panting hard, and squeezed out intermittent words from his mouth:

"Pretty... Tathagata..."

--This is……!

——It is the Bodhi child, it is the Bodhi child!

——Don’t let Bodhizi leave!

"Qiao Tathagata, go quickly..."

——There is a difference between Wugou, quickly bring the bodhizi back!

——Hurry up, hurry up, as long as there are bodhi seeds, we will be safe.

"No... Qiao Tathagata... stay away from the lonely king... the lonely king can't..."

——No, the main body actually...

-how could...

——I waited for... actually...

Qiao Tathagata saw Cang Yue's Guming's entangled expression, as if he was struggling, and then raised his head to see Bodhizi's brilliance, and suddenly moved his mind, stepped forward, and took the initiative to close the distance between the two.The moment Qiao Rulai approached Cang Yue Guming, the bodhizi flower light floating in the air suddenly rose, split into two in the air, and sank into the chests of the two.

As the golden light disappeared bit by bit in front of her chest, Qiao Rulai only felt a flash of consciousness in her head, followed by an overwhelming sense of warmth and warmth.This feeling is different from the forcible intrusion of the bell at the gate of the earth, with the familiarity and warmth that he has never resisted, pulling him into a completely unknown situation.

As the mind drifted away, Qiao Rulai stretched out her hand, but only caught a piece of nothingness.

■

When Qiao Rulai came back to her senses, she found that everything just now had disappeared—the Cangyue Guming, the mountain wind beside her ears, and the desolate forest road.Visible, only the bright sun above the head, and the clear waves under the feet.

The water is very quiet and transparent, and when you step on it, you can create gentle ripples, and the surging water is shimmering, which is really beautiful.Qiao Tathagata walked forward slowly, for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding scenery was still nothingness, only the clear waves under her feet remained, as if the sea of ​​suffering was boundless and boundless.

When he was surprised, he suddenly heard the sound of forest leaves rubbing against each other in the distance. Looking sideways, he saw a tall tree standing on the still water as far as he could see, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and flowers in full bloom. There seems to be a figure, which cannot be seen clearly, but Qiao Rulai has an inexplicable sense of closeness and familiarity.

He walked in the direction of the tree, only to feel that the fragrance of flowers in the air was getting stronger, fresh and elegant, it was a fragrance that would make people feel refreshed.The figure standing still in front of the eyes also gradually became clear in the eyes of Qiao Tathagata—gold pupils, red eyelashes, silver Buddha seal, white clothes, frost hair and snow cassock.

It was the same delicate face as Qiao Tathagata, with compassionate brows and a peaceful expression. As he watched Qiao Tathagata approaching, the soft light in his eyes softened a bit.

When the two faced each other face to face, Qiao Rulai looked at the face in front of her that was the same as her own, her eyes moved slightly, and before she could speak, she felt her hand being held by the other party.He looked at the golden pupil in front of him, and he didn't understand the expression inside. When he was wondering, he heard the other party speak, and his voice was as cool and deep as his own:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"you……"

Qiao Rulai blinked slowly, looked back at the other person's eyes full of love and compassion, and said the little guess in his heart: "Is it Bodhi?"

The man smiled and nodded, holding Qiao Rulai's hand up and down with both hands, then he covered Qiao Rulai's hand with his palm, patted it lightly, and said gently:

"I know you have many questions, and I also have something to say to you."

"Can you, let me speak first?"

■

My name is Bodhizi, also called Qiao Tathagata.

All the monks in the Buddhist world call me the Bodhi child, but no one has ever called me another name. After a long time, I myself almost forget that I am not only the Bodhi child, but also the Tathagata.

Can't remember my name.This, no problem.

My illusion of human form is the work of heaven and earth.The Buddha told me that I have no support in my original body. I am originally a spirit. I should not be too far away from my original body. Therefore, I can only sit under the bodhi tree and devote myself to cultivation.After a thousand years of success, you can join the gods and Buddhas in the West Paradise and ascend the Tao to the Three Jewels of Sumeru.

Can't leave this square inch.This, no problem.

To be ruthless, to have no feelings, to have no desires and no pursuits, this is the ultimate principle of practicing Buddhism, so name and freedom are no hindrance to me.

I thought that the days would continue like this, and I would step by step practice Buddhist enlightenment, survive the catastrophe, and become a golden body.

Until that day when I was on the outer edge of Sitting Hua Bodhi, I picked up a scarred wolf demon.

He is so weak.The demon power is low, and his life is at stake. His beautiful silver fur is so blood-stained that the original color can hardly be seen, but he still stubbornly refuses to close his pair of beautiful eyes like the sky.

There were emotions in his eyes that I had never had before, strong and complicated. At that moment, I also ignored the Buddhist creed of compassion and shot and hurt those who chased and killed him.

I kept him in Zuohua Bodhi, and watched his attitude change from guard at the beginning to complete trust and dependence.

He said his name was Cang Yue Gu Ming, and he said he came from a distant demon world.

I listened to him talk about the demon world and grassland he loves, and I also listened to him talk about the beautiful or unbearable past.I could hear the joy and joy in his tone, as well as the hatred and resentment in his heart.I can't understand what these feelings are like, but when I listen to him, I always have a kind of warmth in my heart that is illuminated by the sun.

He said that the demon world will always look like night, and he has never seen a day of sunshine.But Huawai Bodhi, where I am, is day and night all day long, and I have never seen night or the moon.

He said that there is a scene in the demon world called "the blue sea and the blue sky", which is the most beautiful scenery in his place - the vast sea under the moon, the blue sky and the blue sky, its majesty and magnificence cannot be described in words.

I am yearning, and for the first time in my life, I have this feeling that can be called "wanting".I want to take a look at the beautiful scenery of the demon world that he praised endlessly, I want to take a look at the appearance of the night, and I also want to take a look at the moonlight reflected on his silver-gray fur under the night, it must be very beautiful.

I said, if there is a chance in the future, I will accompany him to see the most beautiful scenery in the demon world.

He agreed.

At that time, I didn't know what the impulse was surging in my heart. I just felt that my heart was burning, and my face was hot from the smoke.

Later I learned that this is called "love".

The bodhi tree has reminded me that the catastrophe is coming, and I need to calm down and wait for the ascension.

I said, I am the same as before, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day, practicing non-stop, so there is no need to worry.

But the bodhi tree said:

——No, your heart is not quiet.

It was then that I realized that it was right.

Indeed, the days of being with the wolf made me gradually understand the meaning of emotion.

I would be "pissed" at him for rolling in the falling flowers and messing up the leaves.

I would be "happy" when he flung himself into my arms with all his fluffy hair and arched my arms.

I'd be "satisfied" watching him nap under a tree.

He will also feel "sad" because he thinks about the tragic situation he once had.

I "desire" to continue this kind of life, and I "want" to be with the wolf all the time.

Facing my heart directly made me feel dazed for a while, and I didn't even realize that the rosary in my hand fell into my arms.

The Bodhi tree is right, not only is my heart restless, but I have also given birth to the last thing that should not be found in the practice of Buddhism——

situation.

After the enlightenment, I seemed to have a spiritual aperture, and everything in the past was endowed with many different meanings.

I can see the trust and dependence in the eyes of the wolf.He likes to arch my cassock and rub it against my arms, his soft hair rubs against his cheeks and the back of his hands, his blue eyes are full of satisfaction and joy.

He can already change form, and he looks like a handsome young man.He is dressed in black, and he still likes to hold a bodhi flower in front of me, with crooked brows and eyes full of soft dependence.Although his expression is still immature, occasionally there will be flashes of deepness and dignity.I can probably understand the meaning of those fleeting dark emotions.

The wolf wants to go back to the demon world and take back what belongs to him.

I knew in my heart that his dependence and trust in me would not be able to keep him after all.

I can calculate the time when the catastrophe is approaching.The time is shortening inch by inch, but my heart is restless day by day.I know in my heart that to become a Buddha, one must go through a catastrophe, and the Buddha...

——Are they all like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, with ruthless love and no desire or feeling?

For the first time in nearly a thousand years, I felt a sense of loss.For the first time, I began to question the meaning of my becoming a Buddha, and I also began to weigh the weight of becoming a Buddha and a wolf in my heart.

In the end, I chose to give up becoming a Buddha and fulfill Canglang.

I sent 300 years of Buddha power into his body when he fell asleep. Looking at his still sleeping eyes, the panic and despair that were about to be wiped out in my heart disappeared.

Afterwards, there was a catastrophe of thunder from the sky, and the blood stained Bodhi.

I failed, which is to be expected.I have nothing to worry about. In order to keep this hard-won emotion in my heart, I am willing to give up the only chance to become a Buddha for him.

He hugged me and I could see "sadness" and "despair" in his blue eyes.I knew that my soul was about to disperse, so I held my original body in my hand and made a wish to the Buddha who was far away in the sky to experience the pain of life and love.I still wanted to talk to him, but the violent tearing feeling caused by the disappearance of my consciousness made me unable to say much.Under the severe pain, I can only say "sorry" at the end.

——It is not my wish for you to witness all this.

—Sorry for making you go through the pain of parting...

——I once promised that I would accompany you to see the best scenery in the demon world.

——Sorry... I...maybe missing my appointment...

The moment I closed my eyes, I buried my divine consciousness and Buddha power in my original body.I can understand the obsession and affection in Canglang's heart. Maybe one day in the future, another "I" will meet him, causing many setbacks and sufferings. At that time, the power left by me may have some impact on certain things. turnaround.

The cause and effect of reincarnation, the barriers of love in the world, and all kinds of disasters are all caused by dependencies.

Dependent origin and extinction, there are eight sufferings in the world, saying:

Birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-term resentment, unable to ask, unable to let go.

The bodhi son is suffering, and Cang Yue's lonely voice is suffering; I am willing to abandon the Buddha for him, which is attachment, and he is willing to stick to it for a thousand years, which is also attachment.

Cang Yue's solitary cry is suffering, and so is the beautiful Tathagata; he is willing to fall for you is obsession, and you run for him without fear of hardships and dangers is also obsession.

You and me, me and him, he and you are all inseparable from the world of mortals and the entanglement of love.

The emotional suffering corresponding to the last two bodhi seeds is called——

Can't let go.
