When the queen became a corpse, Long Junhai sighed and said, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Everything is over. Please cherish your lives if you are still alive, and bury the dead as soon as possible. I have committed too many sins of killing. After this action, I will no longer be involved in the karma here. I hope the Great Xia Empire will prosper forever."
Long Junhai clasped his hands together, and his heart became much calmer. In fact, he himself understood that it was the inner demon that was causing trouble in his heart. He only felt calm when he was killing before.
However, releasing his murderous desire in this way is obviously a sin, so Long Junhai also realized his mistake. He will not be involved in this kind of cause and effect again in the future. Even if he really can't control his murderous desire, he will only go to slay demons and eliminate monsters.
In fact, Long Junhai also understood at this time that the reason why many masters slayed demons and monsters was not only because those demons were causing trouble to the world, but also partly because of their own inner demons. This is why the final end of many masters was very miserable.
Long Junhai actually doesn’t care what his final outcome will be. He is a person who does whatever he wants.
The freedom I had before was very suppressive because I had no ability, but the freedom I had now has become empty because I have the ability. Everything in the world is really a contradiction. This is also the truth of the rotation of yin and yang. It is impossible to always be in an extreme state, or in other words, extreme means destruction!
Long Junhai watched Princess Mingyue put on the dragon robe and ascend the throne. He had given her the best arrangements, but whether there could be long-term peace and stability was another matter.
After leaving the imperial capital, Long Junhai felt less depressed. Perhaps it was because he had changed places, looked at the sky, the earth, and the river, and his mood felt liberated in another way.
Long Junhai's state of mind is now relatively stable, at least his inner demon has not reappeared. His ultimate goal of traveling a long distance is to reach the Great Leiyin Temple, which can be regarded as the realization of his ultimate wish as a Buddhist disciple!
Although the journey was difficult and he encountered some monsters and demons, Long Junhai was able to deal with them. Now he had left the border of the Great Xia Empire and saw a completely different scene.
The country where Long Junhai is currently located is Zizhu Country, which has beautiful scenery, birds singing and flowers blooming, and it is like spring all year round. However, the people here live in poverty because the mountain roads are difficult and dangerous. Even monks find it difficult to travel through mountains and rivers, let alone other ordinary people.
The sun sets in the west, and there is only a rosy glow in the sky. Long Junhai comes to a stream to fetch water, but sees a familiar figure washing vegetables by the stream. This person is Taohong, whom he has not seen for a long time.
When their eyes met, Long Junhai's heart couldn't help but be excited. In comparison, Taohong's face became even more rosy, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Taohong, long time no see." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Master, are you okay?" Taohong seemed very nervous, not knowing where to put her hands.
"I'm fine, I just didn't expect to meet you here. How are you doing now?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"I'm fine too. Although it's much poorer here, it's relatively quiet. Master, can you come to my house when you have time?" Taohong asked nervously.
"Oh, okay then." Long Junhai smiled. He didn't know how to refuse the other party.
Just like that, Taohong walked in front and Long Junhai followed behind. Neither of them spoke, probably because they were nervous.
When I returned to Taohong's house, it was already very late. The moon was above the willows, and the sky was dotted with stars, which looked refreshing.
Tao Hong lit the oil lamp and said, "Although the house is a little small, it can shelter us from the wind and rain. If Master has no other place to go, please stay here."
"Thank you very much, but I'm afraid this is not convenient?" Long Junhai looked at the small thatched hut and saw that there was only a small bed, so he thought it would be better not to stay here, but he didn't say it directly.
"It's not inconvenient at all. Master, you can stay here and talk to me. I miss you very much since we haven't seen each other for these days." Taohong looked at Long Junhai lovingly, which made Long Junhai feel very anxious.
This kind of panic was because he didn't know how to answer, or what to do next. In short, it was a kind of uneasiness that was difficult to control.
Seeing Long Junhai's reaction, Tao Hong slowly walked up to him and said gently, "When we separated by the river, we thought we would never see each other again, but now we meet again. This is the fate between us. I have been suppressing a lot of things in my heart and have not told you. I like you and I like being with you, Master. If you don't mind, I can wander around with you and make the world my home. I don't care about anything!"
At this time, Long Junhai took a deep breath and said, "In fact, your shadow has always been in my heart. It is lingering and unclear. I want to be with you, but I don't know how to express it. I also want to go my own way, but without you, I don't know how to go on."
Upon hearing this, Tao Hong threw herself into Long Junhai's arms and cried, "Master, please return to secular life. The road ahead is bumpy and this life is fleeting. Is it really that good to go to the Western Paradise? If we love each other, why not stay together until old age?"
"Yes, what should I do in the Western Paradise? What am I coming to this world for? To gain infinite merits and become a Buddha instantly? That's not what I want at all. What I want is to experience things I have never experienced before. Now that I have found what I need, why should I do those useless things?" Long Junhai suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.
Sometimes it feels like you're constantly chasing something that's not your goal. You're only chasing it because everyone else is, and you're just blindly following the crowd. Now that you've found what you wanted, why keep chasing it? Why not just stop and enjoy the things you love in life?
Long Junhai took a deep breath and suddenly roared to the sky. Sometimes the sudden enlightenment is the enlightenment of a lifetime. He felt that he had reached his end in this world, and this was his end!
So at this time, Long Junhai put down his Zen staff, took off his cassock, and said to Taohong, "I'll listen to you. I'll return to secular life. Even if I go to the Western Paradise, I won't be able to enjoy the happiness and freedom I have now. So why go so far away? From now on, this is our home. Let's live our lives happily and grow old together."
