In the eighth year, the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, November, and the late snow and moon.

The eighth year, the time of the nine stars, the hour of the Ziyue, the heavy snow and the winter solstice.

In the land of China, there is a Buddha's light temple in the Shangdu city of Crescent Island.

Foguang Temple, there are fields and ponds in front of the mountain, and the path between the pond is green and grassy.

Especially in winter, the climate in the southern region is even more different from that in the north.

There are trees and crabapple trees in the fields, and the capital is almost everywhere.

There are many lotus flowers on the pond, some of which are blue and some are green, but the flowers blooming are white.

The water in the pond emits golden light, and those are Buddha lights.

Countless golden lights filled the pond, and the Buddha's light was bright and extremely beautiful.

The golden Buddha light emitted by Foguang Temple is peace and tranquility.

People in the capital all say that the Buddha Light Temple is effective because it is the golden Buddha light.

In the pond and above the fields is the bronze bell loft. Walking up the 9981st-level stone steps, you will reach the main hall of Foguang Temple.

Behind the main hall of Foguang Temple is Foguang Mountain.

………………………………………

Outside the city of Shangdu City, Jin Chan, Yun Xingchen and Jiang Xinyue parted, entered the city alone and came to Foguang Temple to worship Master Xingyun.

On this day, at dusk, the sunset is extremely beautiful.

It seems that the red clouds in the sky are all seeing off Master Xingyun.

Jin Chan walked slowly in the crabapple forest in the fields and the grass on the pond path.

Arrived in front of the main hall of Foguang Temple.

Jin Chan looked at everything here as usual, as if Master Xingyun was still there.

Master Xingyun has reached the end of his life, and all kinds of red tape are exempted from all kinds of red tape.

So, everything in Foguang Temple is as usual.

Just like, Master Xingyun has never left the Crescent Island, and like, Master Xingyun has never left Foguang Temple.

It seemed that he was just asleep in a meditation room in Foguang Temple.

………………………………………

Jin Chan walked into the hall and was silent for a long time in front of Master Xingyun's spiritual card.

Inside the Buddha Light Hall, rows of copper lamps, lights are like beans, swaying in the breeze.

All of this is peaceful and peaceful, like a spring breeze, Zen singing peacefulness, and little bits are revealed in my heart.

"Do...do...do..." The big bronze bell was ringing in the distance.

Suddenly, the melodious bell sounded throughout the Buddha Light Temple.

It indicates that the night falls.

Jin Chan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly his thoughts were interrupted and he couldn't help but look at the bronze bell.

I saw a huge bronze bell in the distance, making a sound of "dang...dang..."

The monk who rang the bell, after ringing the bronze bell several times, he left the pavilion where the bronze bell was located.

Jin Chan knew that it was already dark and it was time to leave the Buddhist temple.

He said his final farewell to Master Xingyun's spiritual card and walked out of the Buddhist temple hall.

Jin Chan slowly walked down the stone steps. The stone steps here were as full of vicissitudes as Hanshan Temple behind Luoyang City.

The only difference is that there is no weed on the stone steps here. Perhaps because of the incense here, the weeds will be trampled clean as more people walk.

The stone steps of Hanshan Temple are not only vicissitudes, but few people go up the mountain, so the cracks of the stone steps are covered with weeds.

The Tang Dynasty, the poet said:

The moon is falling, the crows crying and frost is everywhere, and the crescent moon is not yet full and the tears are all over the collar.

The fishing fire of the river maple and the sleep of sadness, who is sighing on the coast of the South China Sea?

Hanshan Temple outside Suhang City, Foguang Temple in Shangdu City.

The bells came to the passenger ship in the middle of the night, just waiting for the full moon night.

………………………………………

At this time, Jin Chan walked across the stone steps and came to the bronze bell.

But I saw that the bronze bell was spotless and was engraved with flowing cloud patterns, with Zen meaning in its simplicity and a Buddhist rhyme.

At this moment, the night was deep in the sky, and the pavilion where the ancient bell was located was empty and no one was seen.

So, Jin Chan sat cross-legged under the bronze bell, looking at the pond at the foot of Foguang Temple.

At this moment, the night was dark and the distance was as dark as ink.

The blue lotus leaves, green lotus leaves, and white lotus flowers in the pond are all invisible.

Only the visible ones are the countless golden lights of Buddha light, peace, tranquility and freedom.

At this moment, there was quiet everywhere, and there was no sound nearby.

Jin Chan looked at the foot of the mountain, and after watching for a long time, he entered a dream without realizing it.

In the dream, Jin Chan was in a daze, and it seemed that he could hear the Buddhist six-syllable mantra ringing: "Om, ma, ni, ba, mi, hm..."

In the dream, compassionate, solemn, wonderful, mysterious Zen sounds are extremely vast, cleaning up all the dirt and mortal world.

In the dream, Jin Chan seemed to wake up, and seemed to see the whole Buddha Light Temple shining brightly, and he faintly returned to the time of his birth.

The sound of Buddha in the dream resounds throughout the sky, as if it is about to shake the sky and break the darkness of the sky! Welcome the dawn!!

………………………………………

In the dream, Jin Chan vaguely heard someone calling his real name, Chang Anping.

In the dream, Jin Chan vaguely saw the scene of his father and mother taking him to escape.

In the dream... Chang Anping... In the dream... Chang Anping...

In the past, it was the first year when the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began.

That cold month, the Yellow Turban Army in Chang'an City was still eating people. Jin Chan's father and mother were still carrying Jin Chan, who was still a baby, fled from Chang'an.

Since it is the reincarnation of the Nine Stars, the growth rate of the Nine Stars boys in childhood is two or three times that of ordinary people.

In fact, this large-scale dynasty change is a vicious cycle.

When the dynasty flourished, it brought about population growth, which led to insufficient resources for the dynasty's rule.

If so, if it cannot be fully opened up, this kind of dynasty change will be a vicious cycle.

In the late Tang Dynasty, due to the complex personnel and corruption, Huang Chaoge eventually launched the "Mist Moon Mutiny".

However, this was a vicious cycle during the dynasty change in China.

Because, there is no openness.

Only by being open, inclusive, innovative... can we get out of the dead cycle.

In the cold month of the first year when the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began, Jin Chan and his family fled from Chang'an City to Luoyang City.

Just in winter, Luoyang City did not open the city gate after night attacks in order to prevent the rebels from attacking at night.

Therefore, in order to save the baby from being frozen, Jin Chan's father took off his clothes to keep the baby warm.

In the end, Jin Chan's father froze to death under the dead trees outside Luoyang City.

In the dream, Jin Chan could hear what his father and mother said before:

"This damn mouse!" said the father.

"Chang Shan, the Yellow Turban Army is here to arrest people again, run away quickly," said the mother.

"It's not the Yellow Turban Army, it's me who's catching mice. We have rat meat to eat tomorrow morning," said my father.

"In the past six months, the city fighters have killed people and seized the city, and the land fighters have been exposed to the wild. I don't know what they are doing. Is it not good to farm well?" said my mother.

"Since Xia Yu passed the country to his son, the world has become the family of a few people; the well fields were abolished and the land was owned by private ownership; the disaster of eternal warfare has been planted. The fundamental source of the family of a few people is that it has been broken. The dynasties have changed, and only pruning and cutting on the branches and leaves has led to constant wars. When will the people be peaceful for a long time?" said the father.

"If I had not been practicing martial arts since I was a child, my father would have been unwilling to escape like I am now. I hope to die in a fierce battle and save the people alone in the fire and water!" said my father.

In the dream, Jin Chan vaguely heard someone calling his real name, Chang Anping.

In the dream, Jin Chan vaguely saw the scene of his father and mother taking him to escape.

In the dream... Chang Anping... In the dream... Chang Anping...

That cold month, outside Luoyang City, on the side of the Luo River.
