The Beyonder of Xingyue Gensokyo Chapter 1239

"Nan Wusan... I made you laugh at the teacher. After so many years, I haven't grown up yet."

"No, Bai Lian has grown up and become a good adult. Look at the monsters living in this temple. Aren't they the proof that you grew up?"

Liang Yiluo shook her head lightly, looking at Bai Lian with gentle eyes.

"Xiao Qinxin, come here quickly, even if she is sad, Bai Lian doesn't need to comfort her."

Liang Yiluo stretched out his hand to make a move at Qin Xin, always looked at Bai Lian with a poker face, stopped his behavior, and then walked to Liang Yiluo's arms to be hugged by him.

"Even after so many years, teacher, your ability to read people's hearts is still a little scary."

Bai Lian quickly calmed down her agitation, and smiled weakly.

"However, teacher, would you like to hear what happened in the past four hundred years?"

Chapter 0136 St. Bailian's Story

All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way.

Sheng Bailian clasped her hands together, reciting the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, temporarily forgetting the lonely heart that seemed to die at any time, and slowly raised her lowered eyes, just like the silence that the Buddhists said, all the ripples disappeared. Pressing down on my heart, I opened my mouth slowly.

"Since leaving Heian-kyo, Myren and I have been separated, and we are walking in different directions, just like the ascetic monk you mentioned, hoping to feel the true meaning of Buddhism while walking."

She looked at Qin Xin with a gentle face, and said: "I took Qin Xin to wander in the mountains and rivers of Yamato, and occasionally encountered some monsters, but I never met too powerful ones."

Liang Yiluo nodded slowly, almost all the big monsters at that time were dragged to Yuedu by him, and the big monsters left on the ground were all those who didn't leave the gate, and it was not easy to meet them.

"At that time, I firmly believed in Buddhism and had been working hard to practice hard. Although my talent was blunt and I didn't make any great achievements, I managed to maintain a young posture with some mana."

"Just like this, a period of time has passed. According to the calculation of human beings, my age at that time is already old, but because of the magic power, I didn't feel the fear of death. Until one day, Minglian suddenly gave me There was news that he had achieved success in cultivation and understood some Buddhist principles, and thought that wandering around would not be of much use to him, so he said that he would return to the place where we were born, fulfill the wish of the year, and rebuild the temple.”

"At that time, I thought about it. After so many years of inquiring about the teacher, I found nothing, so I decided to come back here to meet Minglian. Minglian is indeed extremely talented. He already has his own understanding of Buddhism. Here After the temple was rebuilt on the top of Xingui Mountain, there was an endless stream of people coming and going to worship. Although Minglian practiced Buddhism, it may be influenced by your teacher, Yin and Yang. Unlike those real Buddhist masters, he did not practice alone. , but went deep into the secular world, and also used magic to do a few great things, which are deeply loved by the people here, and with the help of your descendant Tsuchimikado, teacher, Mingren Temple is also full of incense."

As if thinking of her younger brother, Bai Lian's tone was soft with memories and a smile.

"I didn't think otherwise at the time. I thought that just protecting the land where I was born and cleaning up at the same time would be regarded as returning home. But..."

Speaking of this, Bai Lian's expression was a little painful, and she was a little self-deprecating.

"The lifespan of human beings has a limit after all. Even if Minglian's power is stronger than that of ordinary big monsters, he can't resist the inevitability of death. When Minglian was 197 years old, he already felt that he My life is not long, and I was told in advance to prepare for my death, so I left like this."

Sheng Bailian spoke eloquently, telling her life, especially the most important choice in life, in front of Liang Yiluo.

"At that time, I also felt the coming of death. After seeing the lotus's departure, I became afraid of life and life. I frantically rummaged through countless essences of Buddhism, hoping to find the one that can grow forever. The method of survival, but in the end I found out in despair that the power of Buddha cannot be achieved at all, and the best result is reincarnation, but after reincarnation, I will no longer be me."

When Bai Lian said this, her face was a little ashamed, as if she had not withstood the temptation and ate the forbidden fruit like Eve.

"I don't see it like Minglian. I don't have his state. At that time, I thought that I was going to leave this world. The fear of death and the sorrow of never seeing my teacher made me look for it like a demon. I was thinking of the method of immortality, until one day I saw Qin Xin who still maintained a youthful appearance, as if he hadn't changed, and finally thought of the black art you taught me, teacher."

She raised her head and stared at Liangyiluo through the sandalwood, with complicated eyes, "... Teacher, you wouldn't have predicted this result four hundred years ago, right?"

She couldn't believe it, but her heart told her that this was the answer.

Liangyi Luo smiled and didn't speak, but like a reassurance, it calmed down the agitated Bai Lian.

She took a deep breath and continued: "...After studying the witchcraft taught by you, teacher, I finally discovered that witchcraft can make me realize my wish of immortality, so I began to abandon Buddhist practice. Learning witchcraft, with the deepening of my practice, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my life span began to prolong like a monster, but at the same time, I also formed an inseparable karma with the monster, and finally obtained the power of immortality. Fear of losing it. Teacher, you have taught me that whether it is a god or a monster, it exists because of people's cognition. If the monster dies, the magic will disappear, and I will die at that time .”

"So, while accepting people's requests to get rid of monsters, I secretly help monsters to prevent them from perishing. I think this is the most correct way, a way of balance that is as harmonious as this nature. Slowly, help monsters Too many, they also started to follow me to live in Mingren Temple, but when this matter was finally exposed, humans finally found out that I had an affair with monsters, and began to alienate and fear me. Although I tried my best to want monsters and humans to live in harmony , but it is completely impossible.”

Bai Lian's tone gradually sank, "...and the most frightening thing is that with the passage of time, the loneliness in my heart has become more and more intense. Although I am still alive, it seems like I am dead. I am also afraid of death, but my heart is like an isolated small lake, the water in it slowly flows away and cannot be filled, and I gradually feel that life is boring, so it is good to die like this... Although I know this is Questionable thinking, but absolutely unable to stop it from popping up."

She looked at Liang Yiluo expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him, and a way to keep herself alive. She had always believed in Liang Yiluo, and believed that her teacher was omnipotent, just like four hundred years ago. Just like Minglian, she firmly believed that the teacher would save her again.

"The exhaustion of the mind gradually affects the body, and the body is getting worse and worse, like a patient who is seriously ill. At this time, I thought of the Dharma again, and practiced quietly again. Although it has some effects, it can only delay my physical state. ...Teacher, tell me, what should I do now?"

Chapter 0137 The Shackles of Morality and Ethics

Liang Yiluo listened quietly to Bai Lian's story. The confusion and distress in her tone, as well as the longing for hope made people sad. This small Zen room was stained with sadness, and the anxiety in the mist made Qin Xin's face look sad. All masks turned to sorrow.

The situation of the holy white lotus is a typical state that humans will have after becoming a long-lived species. From the joy and cautiousness of gaining longevity at the beginning, to the exhaustion of the soul and exhaustion, and finally forget the beauty of life, just want to fall into the trap of death. embrace.

Few of the vampires in the West who turned from humans have lived for more than two hundred years. Like Bai Lian, they face this kind of distress at any time. They know that their feelings are wrong, but they seem to be sucking It was like a drug, and it was irresistible at all, until it finally dawned on me, but it had already disappeared between heaven and earth.

Relying on the pure heart of Buddhism, Bai Lian was able to persist for a full four hundred years, which is not easy, unless she is allowed to find the meaning of living and get through that lonely loneliness.

Meihong survived by relying on hatred and crossed that hurdle, but hatred is absolutely inapplicable to Bailian.

Sometimes Liangyiluo has to be thankful. Although Remilia and Flandre have some flaws as vampires because of their own relationship, they are born with the blood of the true ancestor king. They are true nobles, true Longevity species don't have to feel the grief of five hundred years.

"Have you ever met Minglian?"

Liang Yiluo didn't answer Bai Lian's question directly, but talked about other things.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of Liangyiluo, Bailian's trust in Liangyiluo made her answer honestly: "If Minglian said, his soul has already become a Buddha and went to the heaven. In front of me, although he will still know me, but he has no previous feelings."

Shengminglian, who has become a Buddha, abandoned everything in the past with great wisdom, and completely enlightened, leaving Bailian alone, living in misery in this world.

"That's right, Minglian has already reached the heavenly realm and has become a heavenly man. Even if I am in front of him, he will not have any psychological fluctuations."

Liang Yiluo sighed leisurely, feeling like a parent who didn't take good care of her children.

Bailian and Minglian have always been raised by him as children, but when the children grew up until they died of old age, as a father, he never stayed by their side.

"Get out of here, Bailian!"

Liang Yiluo said to Sheng Bailian seriously.

"Teacher, you..."

Sheng Bailian was puzzled, she didn't know where else she could go besides here.

"The age of Dharma-ending is coming. Although the mystery will not disappear completely, but for the vast majority of human beings, technology is more suitable for them... In the distant golden age, countless powers rose and fell, moved mountains and filled seas It's not a difficult task, in the age of the gods of silver, the gods held their thrones high, and the mysteries still ruled the sky and the earth, but now, monsters have begun to decline, and onmyojis have also reached their peak and are about to decline, this world is no longer suitable for cultivation!"

Liang Yiluo spoke slowly, his deep eyes saw through the changes in the world, all these are laws and truths.

"The teacher can't help you with anything. You start to practice based on the Dharma. In the end, you still have to find a way out from the Dharma on your own. However, this world has been polluted by ordinary people, and it is impossible to clean up here."

Liang Yiluo smiled gently, he raised his hand, and under Bai Lian's surprised gaze, he held her catkin.

The faint warmth came from her hand, making Bai Lian's heart beating 'thump-thump-thump', that dead heart seemed to be poured into a pool of spring water, like a seed planted in the earth, trying hard to germinate.

Her hands trembled a little, as if in the cold winter, they were red from the cold. Years of Buddhist practice made her want to be pure and ascetic, but the joy and admiration buried deep in her heart made her want to continue like this.

"It's spring and summer now, it's not cold, Bailian..."

Liang Yiluo's face was gentle, and his gentle voice made the quiet meditation room a little more charming.
