Zhexiang as an old friend

Shentu's head hurt again.

Tong Hanrun's voice suddenly sounded next to his ear: It's more important than laughing, is it crying?

Yes, it's crying, I don't want to be unable to mourn when you die.

"Shentu!" There was a voice next to his ear, and he fainted before he could figure out who was calling him.

When Shentu woke up, he was lying in the guest room of Pingyao Temple.

Before he could figure out why he was in Pingyao Temple, he heard two people flirting and cursing at the table, and he didn't need to listen to know that it was Cheng Er and Bing Huai who had come.

"Are you two so idle?" Shentu rubbed his head, stood up and looked at the two of them.

When the two saw that he was awake, they no longer had only each other in their eyes, and they both turned their heads to look at him. Cheng Er was the first to say: "We are both for you, do you know that you are dizzy?" how long?"

Hearing his tone, Shentu guessed that he had been dizzy for a long time this time, and asked directly: "How long?"

"Five years." Bing Huai replied unhurriedly, but this answer made Shentu startled, and the first sentence asked: "What about Yuan Qing?"

"I said that he must ask Yuan Qing first when he wakes up, but I'm not worried that I've been in a coma for five years." Cheng Er turned his head to look at Bing Huai, with a hint of sadness for him in his tone.

"Where's Yuan Qing?" Shentu asked again.

Bing Huai knew the bad nature of his family member, so he answered for him: "He is here, let me tell you..."

But it turned out that Yuan Qing in this life did not know whose family he had voted for, and the family was unable to support him, so they put him at the gate of Pingyao Temple. It was Xuanxi who picked him up, brought him up, and named him Xuanqing.

He knew that the doctor who saved him was named Yuanqing, so he took one of the characters and named him Xuanqing.

Now counting, it is almost five years old.

"So, Yuan Qing in this life is still a monk?" Shentu asked after hearing all kinds of things from Bing Huai Dao. At this moment, Shentu has almost lost all emotions and desires, so when he speaks, it is cold and cold, which makes people feel good. alienated.

"Yes." Cheng Er nodded and gave him an affirmative answer.

Shentu's eyes suddenly softened, and he said softly: "That's pretty good, the six senses are pure and not disturbed by the world."

"Alas." Cheng Er sighed inexplicably, "Bing Huai and I have already taken care of it for you, and Xuanxi also recognizes that you are the person who delivered the prescription, so I am naturally willing to keep you in Pingyao Temple, anyway, you are here Just stay."

"Where's Tong Nan?" Shentu suddenly remembered Yuan Qing's father in the previous life, so he asked casually.

Cheng Er looked at Shentu in disbelief: "You still miss Tong Nan?"

"What are you talking about?" Bing Huai stretched out his hand to cover Cheng Er's mouth, and replied, "Tong Nan lost his beloved son, so he is naturally grieved, but he is an upright man, and now Mrs. Tong is pregnant with another child, still twins. Do not worry."

Shentu was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door outside, the voice was extremely low, Cheng Er smiled and said, "Xiao Xuanqing came to see you again."

Bing Huai glared at Cheng Er, Cheng Er hurriedly covered his mouth, got up and opened the door.

As expected, it was Xiao Xuanqing standing outside, Cheng Er squatted down to talk to him, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xuanqing, what are you doing here?"

"Let's see if brother is awake." Xiao Xuanqing also imitated Cheng Er's answer with a smile.

Bing Huai knew that Cheng Er's teasing would last for a long time, so he said, "Xiao Xuanqing, brother is awake, come in and see him."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuanqing really dropped Cheng Er, sneaked in from the space next to him, and went straight to the bedside to look at Shentu.

"Ah, brother, you're really awake, I'll tell Master Xuanxi." Xiao Xuanqing laughed childishly, and was about to run outside as she spoke.

Shentu looked at Xiao Xuanqing, and suddenly flashed through his mind that he had grown up with him for several lifetimes, some were as lively and immature as Xiao Xuanqing, but some were as alienated as Yin Yerong, and some were as distant as Chang Jingye. So arrogant and domineering.

I have seen this back view countless times, but every time it can make my heart overflow with a lot of tenderness.

Not long after, Xiao Xuanqing brought Xuanxi to Shentu's room, Xuanxi looked at Shentu and said: "The benefactor is awake, I heard that you have nowhere to go, please stay here."

Shentu looked at Xiao Xuanqing who was standing beside him, and smiled coldly: "Thank you very much."

"How can I say thank you? The benefactor once saved my life, and this kindness can never be repaid anyway." Xuanxi clasped his hands together and bowed to Shentu. Qingben also wanted to follow, but when he saw Shentu looking at him, he felt some compassion, so he stayed and talked with Shentu.

"Brother, what's your name?" Xiao Xuanqing lay on Shentu's lap, talking to him.Xu Shi hadn't arrived at the time when Xuanxi taught him the Dharma, so he was still as innocent as a child.

"Shentu." Shentu looked at Xiao Xuanqing with love in his eyes.

The two people next to them saw that the atmosphere was very good, so they both made a trick to find another place to be tender, so as not to be each other's way to destroy the atmosphere.

"Brother Shentu, why don't you smile?" Xiao Xuanqing looked at him and asked with a smile.

Shentu was stunned suddenly, he vaguely remembered that Tong Hanrun had also said this when he was young, but he didn't know how to answer this time, yes, why didn't he laugh?I have found Yuan Qing, why is there still no joy in my heart?

"I don't know how to laugh, will you not like me?" Shentu suddenly worried about gain and loss, he was afraid that such a self would cause Yuan Qing's dislike.

Xiao Xuanqing immediately reached out and grabbed Shentu's hand and shook it, with an innocent smile on his face: "No, you can't laugh, I'll teach you, just like this, open your mouth..." After finishing speaking , really opened the corners of his mouth, and showed a bright smile towards Shentu.

Shentu imitated his appearance and tried his best to spread a smile.

"Look, it's very simple." Seeing him smiling, Xiao Xuanqing laughed too, looking up at him.

Shentu reached out and touched Xiao Xuanqing's head. His hair had been shaved, but the scars hadn't been touched, so it was still bald, and it felt very greasy to the touch. He thought what he would say if he was the old self. But he was very confused, so he had no choice but to answer him: "Yes, it's very simple."

"Xuanqing, it's time to go to class." Xuanxi's voice came from outside, Xiao Xuanqing hastily agreed, and before leaving, she smiled brightly at Shentu, as if reminding him not to forget how to smile.

Shentu is not a monk, so he can't go to class, so he often sits in the room, waiting for Xuan Qing to come to him after class, now his health is getting worse, he can't walk for six out of twelve hours a day , can only sit on the edge of the bed and look out the window emptily, his only expectation every day is that Xuan Qing can come to see him, help him take a walk outside, and then listen to him say what class the host gave today.

The days passed slowly in such anticipation, and Shentu watched Xiao Xuanqing grow from a five-year-old child to a monk with four incense scars.

However, he never called Shentu's benefactor, and always called him "Brother Shentu" just like when he was a child.

"Xuanqing, you're here." Sitting on the edge of the table, Shentu looked at Xuanqing with love slowly filling his eyes.

Xuanqing should understand, he felt that he should understand, understood what Shentu was looking at him, but he kept ignoring it, as if he was just taking care of a patient.

"Brother Shentu." Xuan Qing clasped his hands together and bowed to Shentu, trying to lift him up as usual, but Shentu's head hurt again, his body sank, and he lost consciousness again.

Xuanqing panicked all of a sudden, quickly put him flat, pushed open the door and ran out, although the senior brother on the way warned "Buddhism is important to prohibit making noise", but Xuanqing who is usually very obedient can't listen to anything at this moment When she arrived, she went to find Tong Nan in a panic.

As soon as he went out, Bing Huai and Cheng Er appeared, looking at Shentu like this, he felt very sorry.

Cheng Er gave him a trace of immortal energy to protect his body, and Bing Huai stroked his forehead again to maintain a trace of clarity in his brain.

"In this life, he has sacrificed his last soul, what will he do in the future?" Bing Huai looked at Shentu whose face gradually calmed down, and secretly sighed in his heart. He was deeply affectionate, but there was nothing he could do. He could only maintain a trace of clarity for him for the time being. .

"Have you read Si Ming's score?" Cheng Er sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water, asking.

Bing Huai also sat on the edge of the table, and while waiting for Shentu to wake up, he said, "Look, commit suicide."

"In this last life, Si Ming wrote lightly." Cheng Er laughed mockingly, as if listening to a joke.

"Wow." Bing Huai seemed to recall some bad memories, and said, "He is a monk, how can he commit suicide? A monk's suicide is a mistake. If he can make him commit suicide, it must be a major violation of the precepts. Not only did he break the precept, but he also died."

"How much precept must be violated, and what happened to make him prefer to die by committing suicide, which is a wrong way in the eyes of Buddhists?" Cheng Er's voice lowered, and there was a little sorrow and pain in it. Come.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, Bing Huai and Cheng Er hurriedly made a gesture to hide themselves, waiting for someone from outside to come in.Shentu also seemed to sense the commotion outside, so he slowly opened his eyes. He only felt that his body seemed to be much lighter, and his spirit was much better, so he got up and went out to open the door.

When the people outside saw the door opened, their subordinates paused, looking at Shentu who was in good spirits at the moment, a lot of joy jumped out of their eyes.

"Are... are you alright?" Xuan Qing looked into Shentu's eyes, even though there was no emotion in Shentu's eyes, he just knew, knew that he had only himself in his eyes, even if there was no joy or sadness, but he In his eyes, there is himself, and there is love for himself.

The feeling that he pretended not to exist broke the locked wooden box at this very moment, making him suddenly at a loss, and turned his head and ran away without waiting for Shentu to answer him "it's okay" or "it's okay". .
