Chapter 57 end

A year later, when Xie Huiren finally donated all Chinese cultural relics to museums around the world, he made an appointment with Sally and revisited Mount Putuo. Standing on the Vulture Peak, Sally took his hand and asked, "Brother, shall we still go to meet the teacher who refuses to go to the Guanyin Academy?" "No, he said, don't want me to see him again." "However, you still have a mystery to solve." "What? It's gone." Xie Huiren looked at her in surprise, her hair was blown by the breeze, and she smiled sweetly. "Why not, 'Big Four', do you know what it means?"

Xie Huiren smiled, "I know, in fact, you also know." Sally remembered that on the last plane to Japan, Xie Huiren said that he knew the answer to the riddle, and that he told her when he was young, but after that, she never asked. At this time, she deliberately pretended to be angry , saying, "How would I know?" "You know, do you remember when you were a child, you asked me what home was like?" Xie Huiren turned around, faced her, and said tenderly, "I said, the origin of the world taught by Buddhists is composed of four major substances. Consists of, earth, water, fire, wind, with them, there is a home."

"Earth, water, fire, wind." Sally muttered, "Is it that simple?" "It's not simple. This is nature. To know religion, to know science, to know oneself is to know nature. This world is not that complicated..." Xie Huiren looked up at the sky, as if he was praying for the enlightenment of Buddha. After a long while, he He also said, "Master Yixiu Zongchun mentioned the 'Four Great' in his last words." "Oh?" Sally has always been interested in Ikkyu, but she also knows that Master Ikkyu's last words are difficult to understand.

"In his last words, he mentioned the 'five majors', that is, earth, water, fire, wind and emptiness. The first four are also called 'four majors', which are the basic factors that constitute all material phenomena. Therefore, Buddhists say that 'the four majors are all empty'. But with these, you can Is there a phenomenon? This must add 'emptiness', 'emptiness' is the necessary condition for the formation of phenomena. Master Yixiu's last words probably said that his life is the borrowed 'five big', and he is about to pass away at this time , the 'four majors', that is, all the substances that make up his stinky skin, have to be returned to nature, leaving only one 'empty'. In fact, Master Yixiu is using Buddhist concepts to give us an anagram."

Xie Huiren sighed, and said quietly, "Everything in the world is not 'empty'." "All right, all right," Sally interrupted him. "I can't stand you talking about religion and history." Xie Huiren smiled. In fact, he couldn't fully understand the meaning of Yixiu Zongchun's last words. These were just his guesses.He also knew that sooner or later, she would get impatient with Sally talking about these Buddhist knowledge, and at this time, they were in love and traveling, talking about these boring and obscure things was obviously a distaste. They walked down the mountain hand in hand, and walked leisurely in the beautiful place of Putuo. Suddenly, Sally asked solemnly, "Brother, I remember you said that the daughter of the Fujiwara family will marry the crown prince of the Japanese emperor in the future." of?"

"Well, yes." Sally made a sly face. Xie Huiren immediately understood what she meant, and smiled knowingly, and the two of them held hands tighter. "Brother, what were you laughing at?" "I was thinking, it's time to give someone a pot of jasmine." "To whom?" "No, no." Xie Huiren shook his head again, "I have to ask Guanshiyin Bodhisattva." "You still expect Guanyin Bodhisattva to give you the code of marriage?" After finishing speaking, both of them were happy. They came to a small room, in which sat an old man with a long beard and slightly closed eyes, pretending to be chanting words in a deep voice.In front of him was a big sign holder, on a piece of red paper was written: ask for a sign, test characters, palmistry, horoscope.

"Let's ask for a lot." Sally walked in swaggeringly, innocently looking like a child, she grabbed the stick, closed her eyes, meditated devoutly, shook the stick, and after a while, a stick fell to the ground .She picked it up with both hands and handed it to the fortune teller. The old man looked at it respectfully, nodded, and asked, "This gentleman, do you want one?" Xie Huiren smiled and said, "Then ask for one." He didn't make a wish, and didn't shake the stick, he just took one out of the stick and handed it to the old man. The old man looked again and asked, "You two, what are you asking for, seeking money, education, career, or what?"

Sally's face was a little red, and he said, "Aren't you a fortune teller, you can't calculate what we ask for?" "This..." The old man squeezed his eyes in embarrassment, and said in embarrassment, "Then I have to know what you are asking for, and then I can release the lottery for you." "That's not right, you are a fortune teller, you should figure out whatever we ask for." "Look, where is there such a fortune teller? There is no way to solve this lottery." Then, the old man angrily threw the two lottery sticks on the table, looked up at Xie Huiren and Sally, suddenly he seemed to be I understood something, and said with a smile on my face, "But, you two, if you are looking for marriage, you will all be on the lottery, and you will be a perfect match."

A blush appeared on Sally's face.What do you need to say?I already knew that. She looked at Xie Huiren, who was looking at her and couldn't help being happy.She pretended to give him a hard look, then turned to the old man and said, "Did I say that we are asking for marriage? This is not allowed. Let's test the characters. If you test the characters, don't ask us what we are asking for?" "That's not necessary." The old man took out a pen and paper and pushed it to them, "Please write." Sally grabbed a pen, grabbed a piece of paper, deliberately turned her back to Xie Huiren, and said, "We each write our own, and we are not allowed to peek at each other, or we will not be allowed."

When she finished writing and turned around to come back, Xie Huiren had already finished writing.The two put the words on the table, but they laughed at the same time. They faced each other and looked into each other's eyes with a smile. They saw the happiness in each other's eyes. The same word was written on the two pieces of paper: "warm"
