I am the soul he wants to cross over day and night, and he is the monk I want to stay with day and night-
Buddha is willing to step down from the altar for me, but I am willing to fall into reincarnation for him.
Today is the seventh day of my death.
I am the only princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, Changle Diji.
Changle Changle, although the moral is beautiful, it is still no match for a sudden illness. After
my death, I don’t know why my soul didn’t dissipate, but drifted between heaven and earth.
I looked at “me” with a pale face, dressed in exquisite and grand clothes, lying flat in a luxurious coffin. In front of the mourning hall, the dignified and demure queen mother wept until her heart was broken. Her father, who had always been valiant and wise, was also red-eyed. With trembling hands, he finally inserted a white jade cloak for “me.”.
This jade is the treasure of the royal family. It is said that wearing it can lead to longevity. It would have appeared on my dowry list in the future.
And now you’re gonna die with me.
I am not afraid of the sun, not afraid of cold and heat, so aimlessly wandering around the palace, looking at the clouds, teasing cats and dogs.
After all, seven days have passed.
Qin Tianjian has chosen an auspicious time, and the coffin will be buried today.
The mother has put on a light makeup again. There are ten princes in the palace, and there is one in the belly of Li Fei. She still has a tough battle to fight in the future, and she can’t be sad all the time for the sake of the prince’s brother.
I saw Cui Shilang, who was on duty to go back. He always paid attention to his appearance. His face was haggard and his beard was not taken care of.
I followed him back to the mansion in the carriage from the palace. Cui Shilang hastily used a few mouthfuls of rice, then returned to the study, staring blankly at a portrait.
It was a picture of a beautiful woman, which he had secretly drawn for me two years ago when I first met her in autumn hunting.
Worthy of being one of my chosen candidates for the future emperor’s son-in-law, I nodded, somewhat sincerely.
Young master, don’t be sad any more. If the Changle Emperor Ji had knowledge under the spring, he wouldn’t have had the heart to do so. A beautiful servant girl brought incense and said softly.
Her weak and boneless little hand also put on Cui Shilang’s shoulder.
She’s full of Shit. Who says I can’t bear it? I have the heart, very much. With a sigh,
Cui Shilang closed the portrait and told his servants, “The beautiful woman has passed away, and there is no hope of becoming a son-in-law. It’s better to burn it.”
Then he picked up the servant girl and went into the wing.
Cui Shilang has always been known for his brilliant literary talent, and he has always been a modest gentleman in front of me. I didn’t know he was so powerful.
When I stared blankly at the drawing paper curling, yellowing and burning out in the furnace, and the dignified and beautiful person in the painting was burned to ashes, I finally realized soberly that
the world would soon have no one to remember the beautiful and charming Changle Diji, who was loved by all kinds of people and had thousands of splendors.
I leaned against the door and closed my eyes.
I would rather sleep than wake up.
But there was a faint sound of Buddhist music in my ears, and I heard someone calling me over and over again: “Di Ji, Di Ji..”
The sound seemed to have a special magic, which led me to follow it in a daze.
Passing through the mansions and the mottled woods, I saw the solemn Imperial Ji Mausoleum.
A group of monks were kneeling on futons, knocking wooden fish in front of my mausoleum and chanting Buddhist sutras to release the dead.
By the way, my father specially invited the eminent monks from Baohua Temple to perform the ritual today. In the
vast crowd, I saw the one in the middle at a glance.
He was dressed in a white monk’s robe, and his facial features were clear and handsome. I have never seen such a good-looking monk.
No, I haven’t seen many such good-looking people.
During a break, I heard a young novice monk calling him “Elder Huixuan.”.
It turned out that he was the very wise monk Huixuan, who entered the empty door at the age of ten and became famous all over the world at the age of eighteen. “Elder Hui Hsuan,” sighed the
little novice monk, “it’s a pity that Changle Diji passed away so young.”
Huixuan was silent for a moment and gently twirled the beads. There was neither joy nor sorrow on his face: All things in heaven and earth follow the fate of the masses. When they gather, they disperse. They are all impermanent. It is like a dream, like an illusion, which only appears in the mind. Life is full of joy, and death is without regret.
“Happy in life, no regrets in death..” Alas, I sighed faintly, I understand the truth, but it is better to live than to die, to accompany their loved ones, but also to eat all the delicacies and see all the beautiful scenery of the world, it is not fragrant?
I’m only seventeen years old, and I still have so much time.
Seemed to hear my sigh, Huixuan’s line of sight suddenly penetrated the crowd, swept straight to the direction I stood, always calm eyes with a little ripple.
He raised his eyes slightly. “Changle..” Di Ji?
“Master Huixuan..” I floated up to him and poked his cheek with a trembling hand. “Can you see me?”
“Zhi Duo Jia, Saha..” Bored,
I looked at Huixuan and listened to him recite from the Buddha’s Amitabha Sutra to the Great Mercy Mantra, and from the Great Mercy Mantra to the Death Mantra.
But it’s no use, my soul is still not dissipated, nothing has changed. With
a touch of sarcasm at the corners of my mouth, I said, Have you finished reading? Right here? Is there anything else?
“Master Hui-hsuan, can’t you fulfill my small wish to enter reincarnation as early as possible?” What kind of eminent monk
is this who can save all sentient beings? I can’t even save a little soul. How can I save the world?
My tone was not good, but Huixuan’s attitude was still gentle. “Amitabha, Changle Diji is not guilty. You can’t use the method of killing evil spirits to cross over.”. Perhaps the poor monk’s cultivation is shallow. Why don’t you go and ask the abbot to come?
I quickly shook my head and grabbed him. “I’m not saying that your abbot is too old. Just now I walked around in front of him and saw him sitting on a futon and dozing off secretly. The incense and candles were almost burning his beard.”. Come on, at least you can see me.
I looked down at my pulled sleeve. “I can still touch you.”
Huixuan, with a trace of color on his face, nodded and agreed.
So I watched him turn over the scriptures for two days, and then he kept chanting the scriptures to me. Hundreds of lotus lanterns were lit in front of
the mausoleum. Huixuan sat in front of me. The warm light of the fire illuminated his face. His face was quiet and solemn.
His voice was clear, melodious and clean, and I held my face in my hands and waited hopefully.
But we still failed again and again.
Huixuan’s expression was a little stiff. “I didn’t bring many scriptures with me this time. Please don’t be impatient.”. As soon as the ritual is over tomorrow, the poor monk will go back to the temple and look through the ancient scriptures to see if there is a solution.
I nodded indifferently. Anyway, what I lack most now is time. On
the third day, Huixuan arrived as scheduled with a sutra in his hand. There was a trace of joy in
his voice. “I didn’t think before, Di Ji, that you might be in the state of an earthbound spirit now. Only when your heart is over can you let go of your obsession and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
“So, what unfulfilled wish does the Changle Imperial Concubine have?”
Obsession? I don’t blame him for not thinking about it before. I don’t look like I have anything to do. Besides, I’ve been having a good time. How can I have any obsession?
I was about to shake my head, but suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and said shyly, “Maybe I haven’t tasted love yet?”? Can you help me find a man to try? No, would a male ghost try?
Huixuan blushed and said, “Well, I can’t do anything about that.”
Also, in addition to chanting sutras in front of Buddha statues every day, these monks have always avoided love between men and women like snakes and scorpions. I told him where to find a male ghost suitable for me. The
matter came to an impasse.
I’m in a terrible mood. There was nothing interesting in the Imperial Mausoleum, so I had to pester Huixuan every day to find a way to cross me over.
That day, I was about to look for Huixuan when I found him walking outside the temple with several monks.
I hurried up after him. “Hye-hyun, where are you going?”
“There was something strange about the fetus in Princess Ning’s womb. Master suspected it had something to do with the geomantic omen of her ancestral home, so he ordered me and the elders to go over and have a look.”
My eyes lit up. “I want to go too!”
Huixuan shook his head. “The magic array has no eyes. You are a ghost. It may hurt you in the process.”
I muttered in a low voice, “That’s not right. I can still get away with it.”
Hui-hsuan emphasizes, “But you’ll be scared out of your wits and disappear between heaven and earth!”
“Then I..” I looked him up and down. “Shall I hide in your sack?”? When you want to cross over, just throw me far away, and I promise I won’t disturb you or hurt myself, okay?
Huixuan still shook his head.
“Take me, take me..” I pulled his sleeve again. I am too bored to stay alone, and I want to see the world.
In the past, I wanted to sneak out of the palace to play, and I also acted like a spoiled child with my father.
If my father still doesn’t agree, I have a big plan.
I pouted and raised my eyes to look at him. “Merciful Elder Huixuan, please, let me go with you, OK?”
Huixuan’s face tightened even more, and she pulled her sleeve over. “Imperial Concubine, please respect yourself.”
I was rejected mercilessly and could only stand aside with my lips pouting. But after a few steps, he suddenly changed his mind for some reason. With a sigh,
he lowered his eyes and said, “Changle Imperial Concubine, if Princess Ning’s ancestral home really has a fierce ghost, with the law array, the poor monk will have no time to take care of you. Be careful yourself.” Princess
Ning’s mother’s home is on the edge of the city. When I went with Huixuan and his party, we were greeted by Princess Ning’s sister Jinglian. I had seen Jinglian in the palace
before and quarreled with her.
Jing Lian is obviously dressed up carefully today, wearing a green shirt outside, wearing a bright yellow bra inside, snow tender skin looming, more and more charming and lovely. “It’s early autumn,”
I whispered to one side, “and I’m not afraid of the cold even if I wear so little.”
Huixuan looked back at me and seemed to blame me for being talkative.
I gave him a white look.
Jing Lian, with the fragrance of powder, led a group of monks to the backyard and pointed to a deep well in the middle of the courtyard.
“Master Huixuan, that’s the place. I heard from the servants at home that recently there would be strange noises in the well at night!” As soon as
her voice fell, there was a strange sound in the well. Like a gasp, like a sneer.
My God! Terrible! Jing Lian gave a cry of surprise and hurriedly hid behind Hui Xuan.
Cut, the wind, there is nothing to be afraid of, what to pretend! I rolled my eyes again.
I stretched out my arm to pull Huixuan to my side, but it was empty.
Oh, I forgot again. I’m just a ghost now.
Huixuan thought I was afraid, so he came to me and held me behind him, whispering to me, “Stay away from the well.”
I’m a little happy. Huixuan treats me better than Jinglian! When
Jing Lian hid behind him just now, I saw him slightly on one side, pulling away from her. Princess
Ben is more lovely.
Huixuan went to the well to explore carefully.
This is a soul-sucking well. Someone has set up a battle array to attract evil spirits to gather together, and uses the power of the soul to attract the viviparous birth. However, the evil spirit was so powerful that the soul-sucking well could hardly hold her, and the karma came back to affect the princess’s fetal image.
Jinglian’s face turned pale, and she mumbled, “My sister hasn’t had any children all these years, and the family is in a hurry. She just listened to a wandering monk and tried it at will.” The sound at the bottom of the
well was getting louder and more harsh. I had to admit that it was not the wind. The well was a little scary. More and more cracks appeared in the
well.
“Namo Amitabha..”
The monks no longer hesitated and began to sit around and recite the mantra.
With the increasingly urgent tone in their mouths, a group of evil spirits poked their heads out of the well, led by a bare-chested enchantress of the Western Regions.
Seeing Huixuan sitting in the front, she instantly looked ecstatic. It’s like a hungry ghost seeing a table of delicacies and an old whoremaster seeing a flower queen taking off her clothes.
She rolled her eyes slightly and pinched out a pithy formula with both hands. Nothing can be seen by the well.
I poked my head out of the cloth bag curiously, but was found by an evil ghost, who clapped his hands at me. However, at the moment of touching my soul, his palm turned into pieces in an instant! A golden light ran from his palm to his whole body. The
guardian of life? How could the great monk plant a guardian for you? The evil spirit was shocked, and his body slowly turned into powder.
I look at Huixuan, is that him? When did he plant his life for me?
I was looking at Huixuan when he suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a big mouthful of blood. The enchantress of the
Western Regions took advantage of the chaos to kidnap Huixuan.
I hurriedly followed all the way up and saw the enchantress throw Huixuan on the ground in the nearby woods.
She was as easy as throwing a linen bag, but my heart jumped with it. Huixuan had just been hurt! “Have a good time with me, monk of the Central Plains,” said
the enchantress with a smile, “and I will spare you.”
Huixuan coldly wiped the blood stains from her mouth and did not look at her.
The enchantress stamped her foot and exhaled a breath of pink smoke, enveloping Huixuan’s whole body.
Huixuan still turned his rosary beads, gathered his eyebrows and read the scriptures, and his whole body gave out a faint light.
I rushed up, and the enchantress stopped me. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Where did my sister come from? She’s been with me for a long time, and she wants a piece of the cake.”
I am in the heart Pooh Pooh Pooh, who is your sister, do not recognize relatives. “I’m just curious,” he replied. “What are you doing, sister?”
Perhaps she’s been dead too long and her brain isn’t working very well, or perhaps my cultivation is too low. She doesn’t need to be on her guard at all. As she watches what’s going on in the fog, the enchantress explains with a good mood, “This monk from the Central Plains is the body of a golden cicada boy. He must have had great merit in his previous life. It’s rare to see him in a hundred years. If I take him, I can bring him back to life.”
Can be resurrected? I was moved in an instant.
If I could come back to life, I wouldn’t have to wander around like this, and I wouldn’t have to wait for the unknown reincarnation.
If I can be resurrected, then I can contact my dark guard, so that my father and mother can change my identity and continue to live a good life.
I even thought about where to build the mansion, what kind of son-in-law to recruit and how many children to have.
I asked stupidly, “How do you make it up?”
The enchantress covered her mouth and smiled. “We’re all female ghosts. I can’t teach you.”. Why don’t you go and ask the girls in the Goulan Courtyard, or you can go and buy two copies of the Spring Palace and study them?
Oh, it turns out that I want to use those strange postures in the sex palace picture. That’s all right. There are still several copies under my pillow in my bedroom. They are all hand-made by famous artists that I secretly found someone to buy at a high price. The books are well-made and lifelike.
The enchantress pouted at me. “All right, go away.”
She gazed at Huixuan’s figure with fascination and rubbed her hands excitedly. “It’s rare for him to be so handsome. I’ll go in first and eat him up and wipe him clean. I can also keep you to drink some soup. Maybe it will give you more cultivation.”
I stood in front of her and didn’t move.
The enchantress frowned impatiently. “Go away. Don’t ruin my good deed.”
I saw the golden light on Huixuan’s body getting brighter and brighter. Maybe if I gave him a little more time, he would be able to break away from the fog.
So I continued to pester the enchantress.
The enchantress reveals her ferocity. “So you want it all!”
Her fingernails shot up and started to scratch my neck. At the moment of touching me, the claws melted instantly, and the enchantress raised her hands and shook the silver bell on her wrist hurriedly. The bell rang faster and faster, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind, sad, sad, angry, jealous.. Countless negative emotions weigh me down.
I fell to the ground with my head in my arms. Just then
, Huixuan came out. Beads of sweat oozed from
his forehead, his ears were a little red, and his feet were slightly superficial. He looked at me with a flicker of confusion in his eyes, and his ears were redder, like rubies dripping with blood.
“Breaking my fog so soon?” The enchantress proudly shouted to one side, “Smelly monk, who did you see in my enchanted fog?”? But your old lover?
“Let me see what kind of beauty she is,” she said with a charming smile. “If you don’t like my appearance, I can change into her and let you get what you want. Do you think it’s wonderful?” Unmoved
, Huixuan took a few steps forward to block her, and his hands were stamped on his chest. The seal rose several times in the air, and the enchantress could not dodge and was pressed under the seal. The screams and curses came, and soon turned into a pool of pink.
Having done all this, Huixuan’s footsteps faltered, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Can you still get up?” He asked me.
I nodded. “But I can’t move,”
he said with a wry smile.
I looked at his slightly frowning handsome eyebrows and quietly clenched my fist.
Just with him.. I can get back everything I once had.
The enchantress is right. I want to take it all.
I leaned down, one hand touching Huixuan’s suddenly stiff waist, the other hand falling on his back, the hand going up more and more to his shoulder, the fingertips touching the bare skin of his neck.
Sweat slid down his neck, and I kissed him devilishly.
Lips are full of warmth.
Huixuan probably thought I was going to help him up, but I didn’t expect that I would come out like this, and the whole person froze.
He trembled slightly and called to me in a low voice, “Di Ji, don’t..”
Di Ji? Yes, I am the most honorable imperial concubine of the Great Yan Dynasty. Why should I take advantage of the danger of others to embarrass a monk?
Or is it a monk who wants to help me cross over and plant my life to protect me?
I suddenly came to my senses, cut my hair, lifted him up as if nothing had happened, and changed the subject. “Let’s go back and have a look!”
An eminent monk is an eminent monk. The fierce battle in the backyard is over. The evil spirits are out of their wits, but a group of monks have been injured to varying degrees.
The elders sent them all to the nearest hospital to recover from their wounds. Princess
Ning’s fetus was not saved after all. King
Ning was annoyed that she used private means to get pregnant, and almost made a big mistake. He punished her and banned her feet, and both her father and brother cut their official positions.
Of course, this is the last word. In the
hospital, Huixuan leaned on the head of the bed and recited sutras. The light smell of sandalwood on his body permeated the small space, and the breath was quiet, gentle and restrained, which made people unconsciously calm down. Lying on the windowsill,
I sniffed and said wistfully, “Huixuan, what do you think is good about splendor and wealth?”? Everyone cut their heads and wanted to drill into the high position. If you are already in a high position, you have to sharpen your head and find ways to protect your status. As an imperial concubine, I was loved by thousands of people, and I never had any worries. Is it because I lived too comfortably before that God has punished me to die so early? The more
I thought about it, the more I felt that I had failed. “I have been supported by the people, but I have not given any favor to the people.”. No wonder God doesn’t want me to live.
Hui-hsuan paused, and a subtle expression flashed across her face. “In fact, when I was a child, I once saw the emperor’s concubine.”
“Oh?”? When? I asked curiously.
“The year of the great drought in Youzhou.”
Youzhou is my fief. I was only nine years old when there was a severe drought eight years ago. Because I heard that the people were displaced and suffered unspeakably, I begged my father to let me go with him to relieve the disaster.
“The emperor gave me a bowl of congee and two steamed bun. You saw that my leg was injured, and you asked the medical officer who accompanied me to cure me, so I could walk to Paohua Temple alive.”
“I only decided to become a monk because I hoped that in the future I could educate the people of the world, that there would be fewer children like me who were abandoned by their families, and that the people of the world would have good intentions like the emperor’s concubine.” “Therefore, there is no need to belittle yourself,”
he said. “The people who have received your favor will remember you.”
My heart was filled with joy, and my heart was soft as if a little flower had bloomed, but on my face I pretended not to think so. “So what if I remember? Those who have received my favor can’t cross over me.”
Seeing that he was slightly surprised, I asked him with a smile, “When will you plant your life on me?”? It is said that the wounds that should have been inflicted on me will be doubly inflicted on you. I
touched your jade, and I planted it on it. It is only for seven days, so don’t worry about it.
“Thank you,” I said with all my heart. “And that day.. I’m sorry.
Huixuan uncomfortably looked away, revealing only the handsome lines on the side of her face. “Changle Diji doesn’t have to be too polite.”. Just next time.. Next time, don’t be so foolish as to save me.
“If I don’t save you, then if the knife goes down, you’ll be gone. How can you go to save all living beings in the future?”
He pursed his lips with a smile. “Life and death are destiny.”
“Then I am your life.” I looked at him proudly.
He was at a loss for words, and his eyes were as calm as the sea, which made people feel silent and extinguished my distracting thoughts.
“Fortunately..” I hung my head and muttered to myself.
Fortunately, I didn’t make a big mistake.
I can sit with him now.
“That’s right, the one you said last time..” Huixuan’s voice was getting lower and lower. “Is it still a matter of finding a male ghost?”? I heard there was a young general in the south..
I interrupted, “I was teasing you before. I don’t have any obsession.”. When you go back this time, you’ll have to read the scriptures more often and find a way to cross me over quickly.
If there is an afterlife, I hope I can be born in a little rich family, and I can live freely. If I want to go shopping, I can go shopping, and if I want to eat, I can eat roadside stalls. I also want to have parents who love me, and a husband who loves me. Yes, I want to be beautiful, and I’d better be very intelligent. As
I chattered, Huixuan listened quietly, and finally lowered his eyes and folded his hands.
“The imperial concubine of Changle is blessed with great kindness, and she will surely get what she wants.”
A week later, the monks who were not seriously injured returned to the temple. Because the doctor firmly refused, Huixuan had to stay alone in the hospital for a period of time.
This is also the happiest time since I became a ghost. The
quiet candlelight reflected a monk and a ghost in the room.
It was supposed to be a discordant identity relationship, but the monk’s face was gentle and the ghost laughed.
“Once I was so fascinated by the scriptures that I didn’t pay attention to the fire, and I almost burned down the squatter house..”
I don’t know when he stopped calling himself “poor monk” in front of me and replaced it with “I”.
He told me stories about Buddhism, I told him funny stories about the palace, and I sneaked out of the palace and made a lot of noise.
As I spoke, I peeked at his face.
His skin is so smooth, his eyelashes are so long, his nose is so straight. I love it.
When Huixuan was better, I pestered him to go out with me. The stone steps of the town in
the moonlight are as cool as cold water. We walked slowly side by side in the deserted street.
Without stars, a full moon hangs alone in the sky. I followed him and did not speak.
For a moment, I had an illusion that there were only two of us left in the vast world. It’s good to go on
like this.
Huixuan was wearing thin clothes. I asked him, “Are you cold?”? Would you like to go back and get a coat?
Hui-hsuan shakes her head. “I’ve been cold since I was a child, and I’m not afraid of the cold, but I’m a little impatient with the heat.”
“It wasn’t cold, you were so hot that day!” As soon as
the words came out of my mouth, I realized something was wrong, and Huixuan’s face suddenly turned red.
I quickly changed the subject and pointed to the front. “There is actually a swing here.” I felt a little sorry. “It’s a pity that I can’t sit on it now.”
He followed my line of sight. “Di Ji seems to like the swing very much.” Surprised,
I asked him, “How do you know..”
“The year before last, when I went with the abbot to give a lecture to the emperor, I came across the emperor’s concubine playing on a swing.”
I shook my head proudly. “How was it? Was I beautiful and gorgeous?”
Huixuan smiles. “Yes.”
His smile is purer than moonlight. I was fascinated by it.
Hui-hsuan felt uncomfortable when I saw him. He walked quickly to the swing and grabbed the rope. “Di-ji, sit down and have a try.”
There is a faint golden light falling on the swing, which is controlled by Huixuan’s magic power.
I sat on it carefully, and I could feel the roughness of the board in my palm. I didn’t care when I had it
before, but after I haven’t been able to touch the real thing for a long time, the feeling of recovery is very pleasant.
Huixuan stood behind me and pushed the swing gently for me. My
hair was raised in the night wind, and my eyebrows and eyes curved. “Hui-hsuan, swing a little higher!”
He increased the force slightly, and I almost fell down carelessly.
Hye-hyun caught me quickly.
He hugged my waist, his fingers were long and warm, and I was suddenly a little shy, as if my heart had been pinched gently.
I couldn’t help but get close to him and whisper his name, “Hui-hsuan..”
He suddenly let go, stepped back, and his muscles tightened. His eyes were so dark that I couldn’t see his emotions clearly.
I suddenly have a feeling that he seems to want to kiss me?
I giggled. “Why are you so nervous?”
“Oh, nothing.” I heard Huixuan breathe sigh of relief.
After Huixuan’s wound was completely healed, I went back to the temple with him.
He walked slowly, and in the evening he had not gone half the distance. It
suddenly began to rain heavily, and it was not easy for us to find a place to live in a broken temple. The
rain wetted Huixuan’s robe and clung to his body. Under the robe, a thin body line is looming. The undried
rain ran down his throat, a familiar scene, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. There was some dry wood in the
corner. Huixuan made a fire and sat by the fire waiting for his clothes to dry.
I kindly reminded him, “You’d better take off your clothes and dry them. I promise I won’t peep!”
Huixuan’s face turned red again. “It’ll be dry soon. It doesn’t matter.”
He has drooping eyelids and long eyelashes, which I like very much.
The dry wood crackled and burned. He looked at the flames for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth and said slowly, “I made a vow to go west to Tianzhu to get a few volumes of the Sutra, so as to solve all the grievances in the world and eliminate the disasters of the common people.”
All the way to the west, it is said that there are boundless deserts and rich oases, as well as ferocious and terrible beasts, and birds that understand human nature. Every small country in the Western Regions we pass through has its own customs.
Huixuan’s eyes are as clear as ever, and now they only reflect my face deeply. His voice became more and more melancholy as he went to the back. “If you haven’t found a way to cross over by then..”
“Then I’ll go west with you!” I interrupted him happily.
Tianzhu, I haven’t been there yet! Just go to play with Hye-hyun.
Huixuan shook his head. “It’s a long way to Tianzhu. There are many dangers. Imperial Concubine..”
I don’t care! I’m going! I will go wherever you go! I interrupted him again and handed him the white jade.
Here, this is for you as a token. We agreed to go to the Western Regions together, but you must not go back on your word. I
really like him, and I want to give him everything. This white jade may be of extraordinary origin, emitting a slight aura, which is the only thing I can encounter besides Huixuan.
My hand was still in midair, but his eyes froze and stared straight at my wrist. There was a black lotus flower on the inside of
my wrist after the mess in Princess Ning’s ancestral home.
This is.. The mark of an evil spirit, caught by it, never dies.
“Why didn’t Di Ji say that before?” He was a little angry.
Yeah, why didn’t I say anything? Is it because he is seriously injured and doesn’t want him to worry?
No, no, no, I shook my head in my heart. It can’t be like this. “I don’t know what it is,”
I stammered. In a moment of desperation,
he grabbed my hand and said, “Come back with me, and I beg the abbot to remove it for you.”
“It seems too late,” I said awkwardly, pointing to the window behind him. “The devil is coming.”
The evil spirit first blows a strong wind and knocks Huixuan to the ground. Then his nose moves slightly and he takes a few exaggerated deep breaths. “Little beauty, be good. Before I swallow you, come and have a good time.”
He threw a happy spell on me.
A strange hot and dry jump from the abdomen, driving the blood of the whole body to boil together, I saw the demon monk open his mouth and smile, with a stench all over me.
Unfortunately, because of the effect of the spell, his blue face and fangs have gradually become handsome.
And, more and more like Huixuan.
“Hui-hsuan” looked at me jokingly. “Don’t hide. You can’t break this happy spell.”. Unless you obey me, you will suffer the torment of seven days.
He opened his hands. “Come here, little beauty..”
It was all an illusion. I struggled to get up, but my whole body was limp and I fell to him. The real Hye-hyun caught me.
His face sank into the water, and he spent his life killing the demon monk with the method of the angry King Kong. I was relieved to see the crisis disappear, but my heart was more restless.
“Huixuan, I’m so hot, please help me..” I couldn’t help rubbing against him.
Huixuan froze like a stake.
My face gently caressed his moon-white robe and gave a nightmarish sigh.
Huixuan’s face suddenly turned red from her ears to her neck. “Changle Diji..”
“Call me Changle!” I muttered disapprovingly.
He grabbed my restless hand and looked at me with ink-like eyes, “Changle..”
His voice was hoarse, his drawl was restrained and forbearing, his hands were confined to my shoulders, and they were surprisingly hot through the monk’s robe.
“Huixuan,” I asked, biting my lip, “will you regret it in the future?”
He pursed his lips. “No regrets.”
My heart was scratched by his two words crisp and soft, but I did not ignore the flicker of confusion in his eyes.
“That’s enough. You’re hurting me.”
His whole body stiffened and his face became more flushed.
“I mean, your rosary is hurting my heart.” I looked at him with a grievance. “I’m not your responsibility, and I’m not your shackles, Huixuan..”
“If there is no future, don’t start.”
I kept my last sense, pushed him away and escaped.
Suddenly leaving the warm smell of sandalwood, I felt lonely and wanted to cry.
The first person to find me was not Huixuan, but an unexpected person. The
old, shambling abbot looked with pity in the direction of my stay in the dilapidated cave and relieved me of the power of the evil spell.
He said to me, “Changle Diji, although I can’t see you, I can feel you here.”
You and Hui-hsuan had a lifelong love affair. A seed that he glimpsed when he was young, with the depth of his Dharma, slowly grew into a demon in his heart when he was unaware of it.
“So you are not a ghost left in the world. You are actually a demon in his heart.”
I’m not a ghost, it’s him.. The demons of your heart?
No wonder he is the only one who can see me and touch me.
I have always thought that only their own one-sided love, but did not think that he in my invisible corner, day after day, quietly, read me.
From the grace of salvation when he was a teenager to the difficult and obscure path of spiritual practice, there is a small demon hidden in his mind that he dares not see the light. Finally, at the moment of my death, the demons in my heart were strong, and his consciousness was torn apart and independent, and all the memories of Changle Diji were obtained.
I actually deceived everyone, including myself, and really thought I was Changle Diji.
The abbot said slowly, “I saw a secret yesterday. The soul of your body will soon re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.”. Unless Hui-hsuan gets rid of her obsession, you will never disappear.
I thought of a possibility and asked expectantly, “Does that mean I can be with him forever as long as he thinks of me?”
The abbot sighed, “But this also means that Huixuan will be trapped in karma for the rest of his life, and the golden cicada Dharma body that he has worked so hard to cultivate in previous lifetimes will be destroyed in a moment.”. After this life, if you do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will disappear, and you will never have this body again.
“But if he can get through this disaster, he may be able to prove the truth.”
“Amitabha, this is all I have to say. How do you choose? Please let the Imperial Concubine decide for herself.”
I was silent for a long time, and finally I made up my mind.
“Abbot, although monks don’t lie, can you accompany me in a play?”
The abbot promised to go with me to see Huixuan.
I pretended that nothing had happened and said to him cheerfully, “The abbot has found a way. After a little preparation, he can cross over for me in a few days.”
Hui-hsuan was slightly stupefied, and a smile crept out of her lips. “Congratulations, Imperial Concubine.”
The Abbot left us alone.
I explained to him in a hurry, “Master Huixuan, I used to be frivolous because I was greedy for your golden cicada boy and wanted to come back to life.”. I’ve figured it out now. I’m already a dead person. It’s better to conform to the way of heaven. I hope you don’t remember..
Huixuan suddenly interrupted me and looked at me with red eyes.
I’ve never seen him look so vulnerable.
“Di Ji, don’t go, okay?” My
heart aches so much that I can’t breathe.
Disappear, no longer this body.
If I wasn’t just his demons..
If it’s not just a lifetime of greed.
I tried to look calm by pinching my hands with my fingernails.
I asked him innocently, “Why don’t you go?”? It’s not easy for me to go back to reincarnation. If I can’t be a little Jasper in my next life, I’d better go next door to the Kingdom of Wu and find seven or eight husbands to have a good time.
“But I love you..” His lips moved, and the shape of his lips showed what he wanted to say, but in the end he did not say it.
“I love you too..” I said in my heart.
In the bottom of our hearts, under the banner of being good for each other, we cut off this tender feeling.
So, very good. On the day of
separation, the abbot held a grand ceremony for me to cross over. With the sound of Sanskrit chanting, my figure gradually became transparent.
I smiled at Huixuan in the air. “Master Huixuan, may your blessings and wisdom increase, and may all your wishes be fulfilled.”
He stared at me, turned the rosary in silence, and said nothing. At the moment of his
disappearance, I saw a drop of tears flowing silently from the corner of his red eyes. It was
quickly dried by the breeze, and there was no trace.
In order to convince Huixuan that I had entered the cycle of reincarnation, I hid and stayed away from him.
I went to see the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai, the sunset on the beach of Qionghai, and met the high rollers of Jianghu who were fighting, and the little bookboy who was hanging down. When I meet
an evil spirit, I run away quickly, and when I meet a good-tempered person, I come forward to chat a few words.
A gentle scholar asked me if I wanted to stay with him.
I shook my head and told him to study hard, after all, the obsession of high school champion is very difficult to achieve.
In the first few years, I was able to wander freely in the blue sky and white sun, but in the fifth year, I began to fear the sun and could only appear at night.
I know that when I get weaker and weaker, it proves that Huixuan’s obsession is fading away. Occasionally,
I can hear the news of Huixuan from the gossip of travelers in the past.
I heard that he was seriously ill after attending a ceremony to cross over.
When he recovered from his illness, he stayed in the Sutra Pavilion and copied the scriptures without sleep. He did not go out for seven, seven, and forty-nine days. Later, he traveled westward alone, day and night, and finally got back the ten volumes of the Sutra three years later.
He began to set up an altar to preach, and not only monks, but also ordinary people were fascinated.
He also began to help the world with compassion and became a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of countless people.
He is now a real master of Huixuan.
I hung my head, in the end, there was still some sadness in my heart, but more of it was pride with honor. Year
eight, year nine..
Gradually, I started with my hands and became transparent with my feet.
My days are numbered.
I went to see the girl who was reincarnated by Changle Diji.
She is very beautiful, very smart, has her parents who love her, and a little brother who is a childhood sweetheart. Every time she sees her, her eyes will turn into a pool of water. She
can live freely. If she wants to go shopping, she will call her little sister, and if she wants to eat something, her little brother will send it to her.
However, she does not look like Changle Diji. On the day when
she was fifteen years old, there was a very lively ceremony at home. Lanterns were lit in the
wide courtyard. Many guests sat together, laughing and drinking, and some servants came to report in a hurry, and Abbot Huixuan came to congratulate them.
I quickly hid to one side. When
the guests saw that they were world-famous monks, they stopped their wine cups and stood aside to see the ceremony.
Huixuan came alone, dressed in the moon white monk’s clothes I had seen when I first met him. Although
his appearance has been stained with a little wind and frost, his eyebrows and eyes are still as handsome and gentle as ever.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes.
“I have an old friend who has a predestined relationship with the little benefactor. I have come here today to give this to the little benefactor.” In the palm of
his hand lay a white jade rod. Curiously, the
girl took the white jade and smiled sweetly at him. “How beautiful! Thank you, Master Hui-hsuan!” Then
she proudly winked at her little brother in the crowd.
The little brother shook his head in a spoiled way. The corners
of Huixuan’s mouth curved in a shallow arc. He lowered his eyes and clasped his hands in a salute. “I wish the little benefactor good luck in the six seasons and good health in the four seasons.”
All Dharmas, such as dreams and bubbles, such as dew and electricity, should be viewed in this way.
He finally left with relief.
My whole body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a starry sky.
Goodbye, Hye-hyun.
No, not anymore, Hye-hyun.
I love you.
