36

Holding a wine glass and chatting with people, Meng Heng just spent 20 yuan to take a picture of an autistic child in an orphanage.People around him praised him for his good eyesight, so he nodded and smiled politely.

The person in charge of the real estate project was sitting in front of him on the left, not far away.After several rounds of charity auctions, the atmosphere at the scene was not as restrained as it was at first, and Meng Heng stood up.

The imaginary negotiating opponent is sitting in the corner at the moment, Meng Heng looks out of the corner of his eye, and can see the once glorious President Lu drinking alone in the shadows.

Duan heard that the host came down from the stage and asked where Xue Ting was. Several brothers pointed to the outside, "Go to the garden to see the flowers."

This time down the mountain, Xue Ting will not go back.He was not originally a disciple in the temple, and he lived in the temple just because of convenience.He came out of the banquet hall, it was already dark outside, the lights in the corridor were on, Xue Ting walked outside the corridor, and saw a few peach blossoms blooming beautifully.

Lu Chunyan came out staggeringly, pulled off the tie that was tight around his neck, and took a slow breath.

The scene of exchanging greetings and politeness in the past, between glasses of wine, chatting and laughing happily, telling lies and thinking about calculations, this should be what he is most used to, but now he just wants to escape.

Lu Chunyan had never been so embarrassed before. He leaned on the wall and walked back, thinking about staying away from here, further away.

Until... I saw that person.

Xue Ting stood under the peach blossoms covered with branches, and when the wind blew, the peach blossoms sprinkled around him and rolled up.Footsteps sounded behind him, he looked back, and his eyes fell on Lu Chunyan's face.

He didn't know Lu Chunyan, just because he had never been in contact with this person.

But at the other end of his consciousness, he knew this person.

That is Qiuyao's feelings, the feelings of humbleness to the bottom of the valley.

Lu Chunyan stood behind him, his expression seemed to be remembering, he was flustered, he hesitated and called Xue Ting's name.

Xue Ting turned his head, his peaceful and moist eyebrows were coated with ice, and he asked Lu Chunyan, "Tell me, when the peach tree withered, how did he feel, would it hurt?"

Lu Chunyan was shocked, as if his heart had been kicked hard, he looked at Xue Ting in disbelief, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Xue Ting looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a low voice: "Qiu Yao who loves you, that is just a ray of delusion that I want to throw away. He is indeed stupid, he cultivated to be a master, but fell in love with someone, and finally got it All those good fortunes he gave up were all abandoned by him." Xueting paused slightly, tilted his head and looked sideways, and glanced at the shock on Lu Chunyan's face, this expression seemed to poke him sorely, he frowned, and his tone became colder.

"The mahogany sword can't hurt him. I brought him back from that secular world, but he begged me to do one thing for him."

Lu Chunyan's lips trembled, his expression was dull, his throat seemed to be torn, and he asked hoarsely, "What's the matter?"

"He went to Wangchuan and transformed Tao Yuan's soul that had been reluctant to leave."

"Tao Yuan?" Lu Chunyan repeated the name.

A piece of peach blossom fell on Xue Ting's shoulder, it didn't look like a flower, it looked like a severe cold snow.

He said: "Do you know how to save the ghost's soul? It needs to be burned with three thousand karmic fires, but how to ignite the fire, Lu Chunyan, do you know?"

"..."

"I set him on fire, and he took off a stick of his own, which was his arm, and it was not enough to light the fire, so he took off his own leg, but it was not enough, and at last he cried Begging me to help him. I watched him turn into a log, and I held him...to ignite the consequences."

"..."

"The consequences of your crimes."

Lu Chunyan stretched out his hand to cover the left side of his chest, as if his heart would stop beating, he grabbed it hard and shook his head, still unwilling to believe it.

Xue Ting's eyes seemed to be falling from a high place, and he said to Lu Chunyan: "If this happens, he really won't be able to live."

After Xue Ting finished speaking, he patted off the peach blossoms on his shoulders and walked past Lu Chunyan.

Lu Chunyan reached out to try to pull him, but he just got a ball of air.

He looked up at Xue Ting, and suddenly said: "Does it hurt?"

Xue Ting paused, without looking back, and left two words, "It hurts."

He walked quickly, drifted away, and slowly disappeared from Lu Chunyan's sight.

That night, Lu Chunyan dreamed again.

The person in the dream was still Qiuyao. He dreamed that he took Qiuyao back to the secluded house in the countryside. In spring, the rapeseed flowers in the fields were in full bloom, and the air was full of fragrance.

Qiuyao walked in front of him, they were obviously not far away, but he couldn't get close no matter what.He stood behind and shouted, Qiuyao stopped, the wind suddenly became stronger, blowing the dead leaves on the ground, he saw Qiuyao's turned face, half of her face was burned.

He was startled and took half a step back, feeling as if his heart was breaking apart.After he stood still, he walked forward, and Qiuyao's face was right in front of his eyes, as if the porcelain had been restored, glued and reshaped little by little, and turned into a complete appearance.

He stared at Qiuyao, stretched out his hand towards him, his voice seemed to be crying, he said he was sorry, he said to go back with me, he said all the apologies, he really wanted to dig out his heart.

Qiu Yao, who seemed real and unreal in front of her eyes, did not reach out, but looked at it with eyes similar to Xue Ting.

Lu Chunyan heard him say: "Lu Chunyan, have you ever loved me? Are you guilty or love for me?"

"I love you...me"

"You're lying again."

"Do you think I'm stupid, just to be fooled..." Qiuyao said with a sad expression on his broken face, "You never cared about me."

"Do not……"

"I'm trying to be what you like. I'm not cute at all, but I wonder if you'll let me stay as long as I'm cute. Isn't that how dogs are when they please their masters?"

"Qiu Yao..."

"Lu Chunyan, I don't want to please you now."

Qiu Yao was completely shattered in front of him, even a trace of delusion was torn apart and crushed into a million pieces.

Lu Chunyan woke up from his dream. In the dark city, he slowly got up, raised his hand and brushed his cheek, and touched the wet trace of his hand, which was cold sweat and tears.

He cried again, he thought I was not regretful or guilty, I really love you.

During the whole year of getting along with you, I have cared about you, planned for the future, and thought about taking good care of you, but it is too late to say anything now.A promise that cannot be fulfilled is a lie. He lied, he failed Qiuyao, and he harmed Qiuyao.

The monks of Lishan Temple were arranged by the organizer of the charity party to stay in a nearby hotel. When Xue Ting returned to the hotel, the little master invited him to the room hosted by Duan Wen.

During this period of time, he spent more and more time in the mountains, Duanwen host also knew that he was going to leave the temple, so it was inevitable that he would feel reluctant.Asked where Xue Ting was going, Xue Ting shook his head, he didn't know himself.

He is a bodhi tree in Lishan Temple, who has been practicing since he was conscious, listening to the Buddha's voice year after year and day after day.As the years passed, he gradually let go of most of his feelings.That Qiuyao was just a trace of his superfluous delusions, and when the delusions became fruits, he would naturally take back the seeds when they withered.

He was not interested in anything at first, but what Qiuyao experienced in that year would always resurface in his heart.

He remembered everything that person said and did, as if he had experienced it himself.

Xueting had distracting thoughts in his heart, became confused, and stagnated in his practice, which made him even more bored with that human being named Lu Chunyan.

He planned to go down the mountain and take a look at this world, maybe in this way, the confusion in his heart would be resolved.

Why Qiuyao would be willing to let the karmic fire burn her three souls and seven souls, and why Qiuyao would fall in love with that person.
