Zhexiang as an old friend

Shen Tu looked at Xuan Qing's back, suddenly worried about gain and loss again.

What did I do wrong again?Was his expression just now happy, worried, annoyed, or joyful?He suddenly hated himself, hated that he couldn't read his expression, hated that he didn't know his mood at the moment, and couldn't even know what the emotion he expressed felt like.

He wanted to go out to catch up with him, but his steps were vain and he couldn't even step out.

Xuanqing ran all the way to his meditation room, knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and recited the Heart Sutra desperately.

He is a monk. Since he was a child, his master told him to keep the six senses clean, cut off the ordinary roots, and have no desires or desires. Otherwise, he would pollute the pure land in his heart, and if his heart is not sincere, he would pollute the gods.

How, how could he be moved by Brother Shentu?It moved so deeply, he thought it would be fine if he pretended not to see it, as long as he still believed in the Buddha wholeheartedly, as long as he recited the scriptures every day and calmed down, it would be fine.

However, when he is reciting the scriptures now, all kinds of things about Shentu still flash through his mind.He obviously had no joy in his heart but wanted to imitate the way he laughed, the way he sat by the bed and waited for him to come to see him every day, the way he called his name when he fainted.Those appearances kept revolving in his mind, breaking his Heart Sutra, breaking his back, and his heart could not calm down for a moment.

He is the most beloved disciple of the master, how could he break the precept?

Xuan Qing arched his body, his head almost touched the ground, and kept chanting the Mantra of Purifying Heart in a very pious manner.

"Xuanqing..." Shentu walked slowly outside Xuanqing's meditation room, and knocked on the door lightly, with a weak and powerless voice.

Xuan Qing's heart trembled when he heard it, and he forgot all the Heart Sutra he had just recited.

He got up to open the door, but Shentu's eyes were full of worries and powerlessness. He opened his mouth to speak, but Shentu opened his mouth first, like a wounded beast: "Xuanqing, I... did something wrong. what?"

"You didn't!" Xuan Qing hurriedly denied him, "How could this be your fault? The fault is mine, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Then will you still come to see me after class?" Shentu looked at Xuan Qing, as if praying, but also as if expressing all his wishes.

Yuan Qing's heart trembled with him again, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to hug him, but the Buddha's heart in his heart stopped him again, so he put his hand down again, lowered his head and said affirmatively: "Yes, I will."

"That's good." Shentu exhausted all his strength, staggered and fell directly on Xuan Qing's body.

Xuan Qing hastily reached out to take it, and the defensive line in his heart was also shattered by his blow.

He really likes him, so much that he can't help wishing that he only belongs to him, so much that he wants to have him, so much that he likes... no, it's not that he likes him, but that he loves him.

I love him so much that I hope he can take the initiative to hug me and want me.

Xuan Qing buried herself in his arms, and asked softly in her heart: What should I do...

"He broke the precept." Cheng Er watched Xuan Qing rushing forward and back for Shentu, and even his eyes had a lot of different expressions than before.

"If Shentu knew that Xuanqing in the last life had feelings for him and broke the precept and wanted to apologize with death, I'm afraid he would feel uneasy." Bing Huai could see clearly, and sighed, "Don't Let Shentu know."

After that, the two of them didn't speak. Seeing Xuan Qing sitting beside Shentu by the bed, Shentu's mind was blurred. He only felt Xuan Qing sitting next to him, so he stretched out his hand to find him. Xuan Qing hesitated for a while. , but still stretched out his hand.

"Xuan Qing." Shen Tu called out softly, Xuan Qing responded, but he seemed to have not heard, and called out again, "Xuan Qing."

"I'm here." Xuan Qing approached him and agreed again.

Shentu seemed to have finally heard it, and asked softly again: "When you die, can I stay by your side?"

But Xuan Qing seemed to be amused by his words, raised the corners of his lips, and said: "Looking at your appearance, you are clearly going to die earlier than me."

"Yeah..." Shentu seemed to be in a daze again, and he didn't know what to reply.

Xuan Qing was terrified of his appearance, as if he was going to close his eyes the next moment, and never wake up again.He quickly squeezed Shentu's hand, and promised: "Okay, okay, I must have you by my side when I die."

Shentu seemed to have heard it, and smiled, not the sham smiles of many years, but a genuine, contented smile.

"Wait for me." Xuan Qing said, stuffed Shen Tu's hand into the quilt, then turned around and left.

Bing Huai and Cheng Er just felt that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly followed him to see what he was going to do.

Xuanqing first went to his meditation room, cleaned it once, and after making sure it was neat and tidy, he went to the back mountain to find some medicinal herbs, put them in his arms, and went to the main hall. He knelt in front of the Buddha statue, recited the Heart Sutra devoutly, and then Then he returned to Shentu's room.

Shentu still fell asleep in a daze, but softly whispered his name.

Xuan Qing took out those few medicinal herbs from his sleeve.Cheng Er saw that it was a poisonous weed at a glance, and there was a hint of distress in his eyes.

"Let's go." Bing Huai sighed, tugging at Cheng Er's sleeve to leave.

Cheng Er also nodded, even though both of them had pinched the invisibility formula, keeping it like this really disturbed the two of them.

—even if that thing is death.

Xuan Qing was still sitting on the table, ground the medicinal herbs finely, made a bowl of water, drank it all, cleaned the cup and put it back in its original place, then walked to Shentu's bed, took off his shoes and fell asleep in his arms .

"It's great, I can hug you to sleep." Xuan Qing read softly, as if he didn't want to seek death at this moment, but just wanted to hug him, and the two of them would sleep together.

He knows that he loves him so much that he doesn't need anything, and he can agree to anything.

Anyway, he was going to die sooner or later. If he broke the precepts, he would not be qualified to serve the Buddha anymore. Now he promised to die by Shentu's side, so that's it, it's good to die by his side like this.

Shentu also seemed to feel the person in his arms, and stretched out his hand to hold Xuan Qing tightly in his arms.

Evil, fear, anger, desire, joy, sorrow, love seven souls, he has sacrificed his life for the rest of his life, at this moment Shentu only has one love soul left, he can throw away everything, but this soul, no matter what Only after Yuan Qingdu finishes the calamity of the seventh world can he disappear from his body.

"Xuanqing...Xuanqing." Shentu held Xuanqing tightly, even though he didn't know that Xuanqing in his arms was actually dead.

Anyway, just hold Xuan Qing.

Cheng Er and Bing Huai sat outside for a long time, guessing that Xuan Qing was dead, so they passed through the wall again, looking at the two hugging each other.

"His last soul just flew away." Bing Huai sighed.

"Take him back?" Cheng Er suggested, at this moment Shentu has lost seven souls, and depends on the remaining three souls to hang his life, if he is not taken away, no one will care if he is left here.

Bing Huai nodded and was about to take him away when he saw the souls of heaven and earth flying away from Shentu.

"Didn't you say that only the seven souls were sacrificed? Why are the two souls flying away now?" Bing Huai's face froze, and he cast a spell to hold the two souls, but he was struck by a thunderbolt, excruciating pain He shrank his fingers.

Cheng Er hastily stepped forward and grabbed Bing Huai's hand, and questioned in the air: "Why did you take Shentu's two souls again!"

"He harmed the world and killed the Emperor Yin and the King of Xixia who were destined by heaven. Naturally, he must be punished."

When Cheng Er heard the words, anger suddenly rose in his heart, and when he was about to explode, Bing Huai stopped him, fearing that if he said something wrong, the Jade Emperor would not like it and punish him.

As the sound fell, the two souls also entangled and left Shentu's body.

"Take him to Daxian Mountain." Cheng Er sighed, even if only the soul of life was left, it was hanging on his life.

But for some reason, the soul of life also flew out lightly, and a flash of light disappeared.

"The soul of fate is gone?" Bing Huai saw that the last soul also disappeared, and his complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Then he isn't..." Cheng Erwen's face turned pale, "Is he dead?"
