Chapter 43 Like a Sparrow

"The Ullamban Festival, on July 15th, is called the "Zhongyuan Festival" in the Great Sui Dynasty."

As the skylark felt the bumps of the carriage, he slowly said: "The festival in Zhongzhou to worship ancestors is also called the "Ghost Festival", which is said to be a prosperous yin energy and a hundred ghosts traveling at night... In fact, this is a grand festival in Lingshan. The Tripitaka once recorded this story-"

"Among the ten great disciples of the Buddha, there is a 'Maudgalyayana' with a good appearance and extraordinary character, and is known as the best supernatural powers." Yun Li recalled the scriptures in his mind, lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out of the car. His voice was quite contagious, making people feel like he was falling into the painting. "After this venerable attained enlightenment, he was thinking about his deceased mother and saw his mother's karma with great supernatural powers. Because of his deep greed, he fell into the 'hungry ghost realm' and lived a life of not being full."

The incense of Lingshan has been endless for thousands of years.

The Buddhist scriptures explain a complete "world", the six realms of reincarnation, and the retribution.

The so-called six realms are the "heavenly way", "human way", "asura way", "animal way", "hungry ghost way", and "hell way".

If you are too greedy, you will fall into the "hungry ghost realm".

When Skylark told this story, he looked neither sad nor happy.

"The Venerable Maudgalyayana turned his divine power into food and sent it to his mother. Unfortunately, his mother remained greedy and was afraid that other evil ghosts would rob the food when she saw it. She greedy for food and turned into flames when she entered her mouth, burned her body and could not swallow it... She was kind-hearted, but she could only add pain."

Ning Yi was interested in listening to this story.

"What happened later?"

The Skylark paused.

"The Venerable Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, and the Buddha told him, 'On the 15th day of July, we will live in peace and practice calmly, and we will be filled with good Dharma'." The woman, who was half-closed in the carriage, had no change in her expression, and she spoke in a low voice like a murmur, "Mulian obeys the Buddha's will, and she has a lot of flavors to worship the monks. With this compassion, she can save her mother."

The girl paused slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Ning Yi.

"This is the story of "Mulian Saves Mother". The believers of Lingshan attach great importance to "cause and effect". Everything has its origins. The story of the Venerable is known in the East Land. However, in the Great Sui Dynasty, under the imperial power, the Buddhist atmosphere of the "Ullamban Festival" was dispersed." Pei Lingsu looked at the Skylark and said, "Most people in Zhongzhou know about the 'Buddha', but the 'Venerable of Mulian' is not clear."

The little monk smiled and clasped his hands together, saying, "Sister Pei knows so much."

Ning Yi smiled and said, "That's not the case. The starry light above and the talisman below."

He looked out of the car window and sighed: "Actually... what the little monk wanted to say was not 'Mulian saving her mother'."

"Hmm?" The girl raised her eyebrows.

It has been a long time since the three of them left Xiao Xun Temple. Although the girl's "sleepiness" symptoms have been reduced, she still needs to sleep for five or six hours a day. Buddhism emphasizes "entering meditation". The skylark is often like a stone. Sitting in the carriage, closing her eyes, and losing her breath. If Ning Yi had not been able to detect Ning Yi's soul, he might even feel... this guy is dead.

At a young age, he can achieve such "attainments".

Master Jie Chen accepted a good disciple.

The sky lee has a green aura, but the "spiritual aura" that cannot be concealed in every move and conversation is really hard for people to dislike.

Except for a little silly stubborn, everything else is fine.

The little monk has already called "Miss Pei" the real name.

It was changed to "Sister Pei".

He smiled and said, "Sister Pei, the little monk knows that you have read a lot of books... I wonder if you have mastered the 'ancient Sanskrit'?"

The girl nodded hesitantly and shook her head again.

There was already a sense of surprise in the eyes of Skylark.

"Just a little bit..." Pei Lingsu coughed lowly, curled up, leaned into Ning Yi's arms, put one hand on Ning Yi's palm, and the two of them clasped each other. She reluctantly smiled: "'Ancient Sanskrit' has long been used in the world, and there are very few classics recorded."

Ning Yi smiled knowingly.

A long time ago, when two people were trapped in the back mountain of Shushan... the key to breaking the Lu Sheng Talisman is "Ancient Sanskrit". The girl later told herself that the ancient Sanskrit has been lost in the world. The Lord of Lu Sheng Mountain carved the core of the "Little Mother Array" in ancient Sanskrit on the talisman.

There are only a few secret records in the Taoist treasure in Xiaoshuang Mountain, which can support the girl to break the talisman.

I just entered Shushan. Although Ning Yi was hardworking at that time, the sea of ​​gods had not yet opened and his qualifications were average. The girl was a genius who amazed Qianshou Senior Sister. After just one glance at the paper, you can remember that all the Taoist treasures in Xiaoshuangshan were familiar with them.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them left the back mountain.

The sky cleat saw the sweetness of the two, but did not understand how much tenderness this smile contained.

He sat upright and said seriously.

"The meaning of the word 'Yulan' is interpreted as 'upside down' in ancient Sanskrit."

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes.

Hanging upside down... Hanging upside down in the sea?

"I know what Mr. Ning is thinking."

Sun Li Rouru smiled and said, "But in fact--"

"What we mean here is greed and fall into the hungry ghost realm, with a thin throat as a needle and a big belly as a drum. Not to mention that food cannot be swallowed, even water cannot be entered. It is often burned by hunger and fire. Even if there is food, it will become charcoal when it enters the mouth. The pain is like a person being hung upside down, his head facing the ground, and his feet facing the sky... This is the 'suffering of hanging upside down'."

The young monk shook his head in confusion, "This is the pain that Venerable Mulian's mother endured. The fire penetrated into her stomach, which was better than cut into pieces... The Buddhist name "Yulan" can explain it. Master mentioned to me that this day is the last day of a summer retreat. If there is really a 'six paths of reincarnation' in this world, then the 'hundred ghosts' night walk' will happen, and it is not impossible."

He slowly looked at Ning Yi and Pei Lingsu and asked.

"The little monk asked... Is there really a cycle of reincarnation in this world?"

The lark's eyes were very clear.

Ning Yi could see that this Buddhist boy who seemed to be proficient in all dharmas actually... still had confusion, but the confusion of the sky lark bothered everyone in the world.

He shook his head, and said hoarsely, "I... don't know."

"Nothing... the little monk just asked."

The little monk looked a little regretful. He lived in Xiaoxun Temple since he was a child. The master passed away early. The people he saw and the guests who entered the temple came to him after offering incense money.

He was not without doubt...but he couldn't find the right person.

The master has left.

There are many encounters in this world, and you don’t need to ask the reason. As long as you meet them, you will know what kind of person they are.

Ning Yi and Pei Lingsu are very reliable people.

The lark smiled bitterly and said, "If there is really a cycle of reincarnation, then the dead may be able to survive again."

…”

Speaking of this, he reached out to his clothes with one hand, and there was a small wooden box stuffed there. When he left Xiaoxun Temple, the skylark brought out his master's urn, and the "Buddha bone relics" he mentioned were also in the box.

The little monk stroked the box face with his fingers and said softly: "I may have a chance to see you again with my master."

Ning Yi's expression was a bit complicated.

He looked at the beautiful and sad face of the skylark, and suddenly thought of something and whispered: "In this world... separation from life and death is inevitable, but the matter of 'reincarnation'..."

That's all.

The meaning is already very obvious.

He did not mention the "Eternal Life Method".

In Ning Yi's view, the so-called "Eternal Life Method" of Lingshan and Dao Sect is not the so-called reincarnation at all. It is just a inheritance of power and the continuation of the soul. In the long river of the Great Dao, everyone can find the source.

The essence of the world is always the same river, and what has passed cannot be regained.

In fact, there are many important people in Ning Yi's heart... Xu Zang, Zhou You, the sword weapon is close, Fu Qingfeng, Hongying, he has also experienced "life and death separation". He also hopes that there is the "reincarnation" in the mouth of the sky lark in this world, even if it is separated from life and death, he can still see him again.

He was once a teenager like a lark.

It’s just that time will make a person grow up, and time will also teach a person to “give up”.

So Ning Yi became more and more "mature", and he would no longer show his "sadness" and "weakness" in front of others. He hid these things and became the "Shushan uncle" that everyone admired by the Great Sui sword cultivators.

Ning Yi's throat was a little sore.

But in fact... are you that strong?

Sweats are rare in the palm of the palm, and the slender fingers are tightly held.

The girl who was in tune with Ning Yi closed her eyes and leaned her forehead against Ning Yi's shoulder, as if she was tired, but her hand slowly and vigorously responded to Ning Yi.

It's like saying...

I know.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, he cares more than anyone else.

If the girl left Ning Yi one day...

Then he really has nothing.

...

...

Birds spread their wings soar in the air.

The yellow sand in the desert has been left far behind.

The carriage rushes toward the east.

Jungle, shrub, rocks flow backwards on both sides of the carriage—

The skylark in the carriage, with his eyes closed, as if he was entering a meditation, but his slight breathing was even and regular. One of his hands was kept in the position of stuffing into his clothes. Even when he was asleep, he still had a meticulous and dignified posture, pinching the square urn with his fingers... There was a littor who was a young man and a childhood dream.

The power of the sea of ​​gods is waving in circles.

Ning Yi and the girl were sleeping on each other.

As he walked eastward, Ning Yi, who was worried, was rarely trapped in a dream.

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

She raised her head and looked at Ning Yi's side face. The curtains swayed in the wind, and the spring light fell on the face of her lover, just like the cold winter and snow melted. She left Shushan and rushed to Tiandu.

Take a ride on Pope Chen Yi's carriage.

At that time, Ning Yi was also a teenager like a bird.
