Chapter 6 (Fives)

On the day when my merits and virtues were consummated, all the gods and Buddhas gathered in Lingshan Mountain, fairy music fluttered, and smallpox danced in the sky.When everything was silent, the Tathagata asked me: "Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going?" All eyes were on me.I bowed down and answered: "I have no name, I have no form, I am empty, I have nowhere to come from, and nowhere to go." "So, have you forgotten?" I bowed my head and remained silent. "Why don't you talk?" I raised my head and said loudly to the Tathagata: "It's never happened before, so why forget it?!"

The Tathagata laughed, the gods and Buddhas clicked their tongues in admiration, and smallpox fell from the sky one after another. But the floodgate of my memory opened violently at that moment. Everyone, everything, every sentence, every expression of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in my life was so clear and beautiful, violently shaking my deepest soul . There was a burst of singing in the peach forest: The sky is far away, the world is far away, and the sea is turbulent at the place where you stare. Cry bitterly for whom, laugh for whom, let the time fade away. Which one will enter the phase, which one will become a Buddha and become a fairy, in the end, it will either be loess or light smoke.

And when I go fishing outside, I have a green bamboo pole in my hand. Don't ask where Qingqing is going, and when she turns around, she sees Peach Blossom Fairy... The ending sound curled up and scattered into the blue clouds. I saw Tao'er walking from a distance carrying a bamboo basket. She was grinning, her long hair was fluttering in the morning glow, and her body was full of sunshine... Tao'er tapped my bald head and laughed, "It's time to eat! I'm still staring at the beautiful woman in a daze!" I blushed and lowered my head. From that moment on, I never hated her again, although she damaged my practice, although she beat me, although she almost made me fall into the devil.The Buddha said that love, hatred, ignorance and anger are the root of pain in life, but without those loves, those hates, those infatuations, and those tearful smiles, how boring life would be.

"Do you know why I want to save you?" "why?" "Because only you dare to contradict me, and you never look me in the eye." Tao'er pouted. "Who told you to hit me." I said with a smile, a burst of sadness welling up in my heart.I know that I am no longer a monk, and the rules and regulations I have adhered to have collapsed, in that sunny morning, in the enchanting smile of that goblin. "Do you eat meat?" "Don't eat." "drink wine?" "Don't drink." I sat there, not knowing whether to be angry or happy, and after a long time, I cried silently.
