Chapter 5 (Four)

When I was a teenager, I often had the same dream: On the endless grassland, I was running fast on a white horse. A shy girl buried her face behind my back, her hands hugged my waist tightly, and I looked happy. And sad, in the silence, the girl raised her head and murmured in my ear: If, if... . When I opened my eyes, the first morning bell rang outside the door. I was always very sad at this time. "You are a lover," Master Xuan Ku said while stroking my bald head, "You shouldn't have come here." "Where should I go?" Master Xuanku shook his head for a long time.

To this day I don't know where I should go.It is difficult to become a Buddha, but I have done it; it is easy to dream, but for thousands of years, I have never been able to go back to that dream. Tao'er didn't take me to the river, she took my hand and flew to the depths of the peach forest like moonlight, where there was mist. "Do you want to eat Tang Monk's meat all by yourself?" I asked coldly. "Shh... don't talk!" She didn't look back, and led me past the peach trees. The pink scarf fluttered in the wind, brushing my eyes lightly. The night was deep, and we kept walking through the boundless silence.In the darkness, something is slowly wriggling and growing in my heart.I opened my arms and floated lightly in the air, my mind was confused, I saw the long-lost white horse in my dream roaring, and the grass was boundless under my feet...

"Monk, we're here!" I opened my eyes and found that I was in a valley surrounded by mountains, and a small river was gurgling past me. "Why did you save me?" "You think I'm saving you, monk? I'm going to eat you, stop dreaming!" she said with a smile. A monster is a monster, I put my hands together, "Amitabha." "Monk, do you think I'm pretty?" She asked me suddenly. My face was flushed red, I turned around, pretended I didn't hear anything, and lowered my head, I muttered: The Supreme, Profound and Wonderful Dharma, which is hard to encounter in a million kalpas.

What I have seen and heard is accepted and maintained, and I am willing to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata. ……… "You're lying to yourself, Monk," Tao'er giggled, "you've been staring at me in the cave—your face has turned red." Master Xuanku always praised me for my concentration, and he would often shout in my ear when I was meditating.My ears are ringing, but my body remains motionless.He always patted my head in satisfaction, got up and left.We played this game for thirty years until he died. At that moment, I suddenly thought of Master Xuanku, and I was ashamed.

"It's good that you think I'm pretty," she said faintly, "My name is Tao'er, and I'm a peach blossom on my sister—I don't know if you will remember it?"
