Chapter 571: Release your heart, because you like him (4000 words)
"I want to buy a newspaper."
Shi Xin walked to the little boy and said to him.
"Ah? Oh, okay." The little boy was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
For the little boy, he had never seen such a beautiful fairy sister.
Although this fairy sister has no hair, she is still much more beautiful than all the sisters I have seen.
The little boy handed the newspaper to Shi Xin.
Shi Xin gave him ten cents, and the little boy ran away saying "Thank you, Fairy Sister", and continued to sell newspapers while shouting.
Shi Xin spread out the newspaper and looked at the news. Shi Xin didn't spend too much time and quickly found the news he wanted to read.
"Shocked! The Black Lotus Saintess Mo Zhuer and Central Plains Xia Country Xu Ming will hold their wedding at the end of the month!"
Below the large bold title is an analysis of the content.
“According to the latest reports, the Black Lotus Saintess Mo Zhuer and Xu Ming will be getting married at the end of this month.
It is reported that Mo Zhuer, the leader of Mo Zhu Peak of the Black Lotus Sect, has already sent out invitations.
At that time, not only the top leaders of the Black Lotus Sect, but also other demonic sects will participate in Mo Zhuer's wedding ceremony.
Xu Ming came from the Wu Kingdom in the Central Plains. He practiced both martial arts and swordsmanship, and made extraordinary achievements especially in swordsmanship.
Originally, the ten major demon sects joined forces to kill Xu Ming, but now Mo Zhuer, the saint of the Black Lotus Sect, one of the ten major demon sects, wants to marry Xu Ming.
This cannot help but make people suspect that it is very likely that the Black Lotus Cult wants to recruit Xu Ming into their own sect.
That's why we asked other sects to cooperate with us.
When Xu Ming was cornered, he extended an olive branch to him..."
In this newspaper, there is a lot of speculation about why Xu Ming would marry Mo Zhuer of the Black Lotus Sect.
But Shi Xin didn't care about these at all.
After Shi Xin finished reading the newspaper report, only one sentence from the newspaper remained in her mind:
"Xu Ming married the Black Lotus Saintess Mo Zhuer."
"Migu. Migu"
The winged Hun Dun flew to Mo Zhu'er's side and kept rubbing against her, wanting to see what was wrong with his master and why he was in a daze for no reason.
"I'm fine." Shi Xin smiled and shook his head. He reached out and touched Hun Dun's head, then took the newspaper and said, "Let's go and pray for them."
Shi Xin put away his complicated thoughts and walked towards a house not far away on the street.
"Migu~" Hun Dun lay on Mo Zhuer's shoulder and continued to follow his master forward.
This is a relatively wealthy family, and their daughter is getting married today.
Generally speaking, in the Buddhist world, whenever a wedding happens, monks will be invited to chant scriptures to express blessings to the newlyweds and to drive away disasters and evil spirits.
Because this town is under the jurisdiction of Leiming Temple, and Shixin happened to be free today, so he came here today.
After entering the official's house, Shi Xin found a place to sit down and began to chant scriptures.
After the bride leaves the house, Shi Xin also needs to follow behind the sedan chair.
Only after this group of newlyweds finished their wedding ceremony, Shi Xin's mission was considered completed.
Shi Xin sat alone at a table with some vegetarian dishes on it.
After all, they are a wealthy family, and even the vegetarian dishes are cooked very well.
But Shi Xin had no appetite today.
Shi Xin has always been thinking about Xu Ming and Mo Zhuer's marriage.
In fact, Shi Xin also knew that who Xu Ming married was Xu Ming's business and had nothing to do with him.
All he could do was to ask the abbot for help, hoping to save Xu Ming's life, after learning about Xu Ming's news not long ago.
When Shi Xin made this request, he also knew that his request was actually a bit unreasonable.
But in the end, the abbot made his greatest effort and finally convinced other Buddhists to help save Xu Ming.
Although that guarantee still left some wiggle room for the Demon Sect, Shi Xin could understand it.
It’s not that Buddhism doesn’t want to help, but for now, this is all it can do.
The Buddhist sect does not dare to push the Demon sect too hard.
Otherwise, it means that the Buddhist sect does not give any face to the Demon sect at all.
Nowadays, the relationship between Buddhism and the Demonic sect is already very tense.
If the Demon Sect is pushed too hard because of this matter, there is a high possibility of a fight.
So over the past few days, Shi Xin has been very worried about Xu Ming's safety.
Knowing that Buddhism could no longer provide help, Shi Xin always wanted to find Xu Ming.
But the abbot wouldn't let him.
Several times, Shi Xin was discovered just when he was about to leave.
Shi Xin can only pray for Xu Ming every day, hoping that Xu Ming will be safe.
At the same time, Shi Xin has been paying attention to Xu Ming's news.
But today, Shi Xin heard news about Xu Ming, that Xu Ming was going to get married.
And it was with Mo Zhuer, which was something Shi Xin had never thought of.
Shi Xin felt that she should feel happy for Xu Ming.
Because no matter what, now that Xu Ming and Mo Zhuer are married, few people will dare to hurt Xu Ming, and Mo Zhuer will also protect Xu Ming.
But Shi Xin found that he couldn't be happy at all.
Shi Xin felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
Shi Xin didn't know what he was worried about in his heart.
In addition to anxiety, there are other indescribable feelings.
Shi Xin didn't know what was wrong with him.
Anyway, all he could think about was that after Xu Ming finished his lunch, Shi Xin accepted the incense money given by this official and walked towards Leiming Temple.
Along the way, Shi Xin was still thinking about Xu Ming's marriage.
Even if Shi Xin didn't want to think about it anymore, this matter still came to his mind.
"Master Shixin."
"I have met Master Shixin."
"Thank you, Master Shixin, for exorcising the evil spirits in our residence last time."
Return to Leiming Temple.
Men and women who went up the mountain to worship Buddha expressed their gratitude to Shixin.
Shi Xin did not always stay in the mountains chanting Buddhist scriptures. He often went to towns to help people deal with various matters.
Over time, Shi Xin was called a living Bodhisattva by the common people, and they had a lot of respect for him.
Shi Xin smiled back at everyone's thanks.
But Shi Xin didn't listen to what they said at all.
After the afternoon, before dinner, there was evening service at Leiming Temple.
All the monks in Leiming Temple sat in their respective seats and performed evening lessons under the guidance of their respective masters.
Shi Xin’s master was the abbot of Leiming Temple - Master Yuanming.
Shi Xin sat behind his master, and around Shi Xin, in the main hall of Leiming Temple, sat all the respected elders of Leiming Temple or some senior brothers who had practiced for many years.
The sound of chanting spread throughout the ceremony, and the Buddhist sounds echoed throughout the Leiming Temple.
Even at night, the sky above Leiming Temple is surrounded by Buddha's light, and it is extremely bright, like a lighthouse.
This does not mean that Leiming Temple is deliberately mysterious, but it is a concrete manifestation of the destiny of Buddhism and Taoism.
An hour later, the sounds of chanting gradually stopped, and the monks of Leiming Temple all stood up to have dinner.
Shi Xin sat on the cushion in a daze.
The little guy Hun Dun was sleeping soundly on Shi Xin's thighs.
During this period of time, Hundun would listen every time the scriptures were recited.
However, Hun Dun didn't seem to be listening much. What he liked most was to fall asleep to the sound of chanting.
When the chanting ended, Hun Dun woke up. He twisted his fat body, stretched his wings, and then looked at his master with a "hmm".
His master seemed to be in a daze, with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
In Xiao Hundun's opinion, this appearance of his master was extremely rare.
"Relieve the mind."
"Relieve your mind."
"Relieve the mind."
"Grandpa Abbot."
Shi Xin came back to his senses and looked up at the abbot.
The abbot of Leiming Temple, Yuanming, smiled kindly: "Shixin, the chanting is over, aren't you going to have dinner?"
"Eh?" Shi Xin raised his head and found that all his fellow brothers had left.
"Abbot Grandpa, Shixin is not hungry." Shixin said.
Yuan Ming smiled and said, "Are you not hungry, Shi Xin, or are you not in the mood to eat now?"
Release: “.”
The abbot of Leiming Temple touched his chin and said, "Since this afternoon, your mind, Shixin, seems to have not calmed down. It seems that you have been thinking about other things all the time. You were not like this before."
"I'm sorry, Abbot." Shi Xin lowered his head again.
Hun Dun gently rubbed his master's hand, then snorted at the old monk in front of him, as if to say, "You old bald donkey, don't scold my master."
"Silly child."
Master Yuanming shook his head.
"Why are you saying sorry to me? You just got distracted while reciting the sutra.
Who hasn’t fallen asleep while chanting?
When your abbot grandfather and I were chanting sutras, we would sleep till dawn.
It was not until the next morning that you were woken up by your great-grandfather.
It’s just a matter of letting go of your mind. You are born with a wise mind and a pure heart.
For you, this kind of absent-mindedness and distraction is indeed quite rare.
If you encounter something that you don't understand, maybe you can tell me.
Although I, your abbot grandfather, don't have any ability.
But after all, I, an old bald man, have lived to such an old age and have some experience in some things.
Maybe an old monk like me can help you solve your doubts.”
Shi Xin thought about it and fell silent, as if he was considering whether he should speak this out.
Yuan Ming was not in a hurry either. He just waited quietly for his disciple's answer.
Shixin is a child raised by Yuanming since childhood. To Yuanming, Shixin is like his daughter.
If Shi Xin wants to say something, then she will say it.
If Shi Xin doesn't want to say it, then I won't ask.
After a long time, Shi Xin raised his head and looked at the abbot.
Yuanming saw trance in Shixin’s eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, there has always been clarity in Shi Xin's eyes.
This is the first time Yuan Ming has seen a situation like this.
Even the trance in Shixin's eyes made Yuanming feel a little distressed for his granddaughter.
After all, which elder doesn’t want his or her younger generations to live happily and carefree every day?
"Abbot Grandpa, Shixin doesn't understand." Shixin said slowly.
"Yeah." Yuan Ming nodded and waited for Shi Xin to continue.
"Abbot grandpa, I feel weird today." Shi Xin raised his head and said.
"Why is it strange?" Yuan Ming asked.
Shi Xin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. It was today when I went to pray for the newlyweds that I saw the news that Xu Ming was going to marry Mo Zhu'er, the Saintess of the Black Lotus Sect.
Logically speaking, if Xu Ming and Mo Zhuer get married, then Xu Ming will have someone to protect him, which should be a happy thing.
I don't have to worry about Xu Ming's safety anymore.
And since Xu Ming is willing to marry him, it means that Xu Ming is actually quite accepting of him.
But I don’t know what’s going on. I just can’t seem to be happy in my heart.
When I heard the news, I kept thinking about Xu Ming and wondering why he married Mo Zhuer.
I would love to meet him even"
Shi Xin looked into the abbot's eyes seriously and said, "I don't want him to get married."
When Shi Xin finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.
"Migu."
Chaos yelled softly.
It doesn't know what happened.
It also couldn't understand what its master meant.
But Chaos could feel that his master seemed to be in a state of confusion.
"Abbot Grandpa, is there something wrong with my practice recently?" Shi Xin asked.
Shi Xin wondered if there might be some deviation in his practice, which led to some strange thoughts.
"Shixin," Yuanming sighed, "It's not that there is something wrong with your practice. On the contrary, you have already embarked on the path of practice."
"Shi Xin. Don't understand." Shi Xin didn't understand why he embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
"Amitabha." Yuan Ming chanted the Buddha's name, "Shi Xin, do you remember what I told you before? Before you left the mountain gate a few years ago and went out to gain experience."
"Remember." Shi Xin nodded.
"The abbot told me that if you want to see through the world, you must first enter it. Otherwise, if you can't even enter it, how can you see through it?"
"That's right."
Yuan Ming smiled.
"I asked you to go out for training before because of this reason. However, entering the mortal world is far more than entering the mundane world and observing all kinds of beings. If you just watch, you will always be an outsider. But now, Shixin, you have finally entered the mortal world thoroughly.
The reason why you are always thinking about him.
The reason why you are looking forward to him.
The reason why you care about him.
It’s all for one reason.”
Yuanming clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. The old monk’s voice was very soft, but every word shook Shixin’s heart.
"Relieve your heart, because you like him"
