White tea legend

Chapter 156 Dharma Test
Daci'en Temple is home to towering ancient trees and smoke-filled buildings.

In the courtyard, there are scattered shadows of monks and melodious Sanskrit sounds. A salvation ceremony is being held for the deceased beggars of Beitian Yuan.

The bells and drums are ringing together, and the sound shakes the world, as if to awaken the road to the netherworld and lead the lonely soul back to bliss.

The monks wore golden and red cassocks, held wooden fish, chimes, and bells in their hands. They symphonized their magical instruments and chanted sutras incessantly.

Their faces were solemn, their eyes were compassionate, and every word was filled with condolences and blessings for the deceased.

The sandalwood was lightly scented and the candlelight flickered, illuminating the old and barren faces, as if to tell the world that no matter how high or low they are, they all receive the equal mercy of the Buddha.

"Namo Amitabha…"

Following the long chant of the eminent monk, all living beings were shocked and kowtowed devoutly.

The circulation of scriptures is like gurgling water, washing away the dust and diluting the suffering and impermanence of the world.

The monks use the boundless wisdom and compassion of Buddhism to help the souls of the deceased escape reincarnation and be reborn in the pure land.

None of the monks noticed that in the corner of the Buddhist hall, a small snake was curled up and trembling.

The little snake has a demonic nature, and under the solemnity of the Buddha's Dharma, it suddenly feels like the inside of the body is rolling, like a sword coming against the body, which is unbearable.

"Nawuheheluodana, Duoluoyyeye..." The voice of the monk chanted was like the sound of nature, but to the little snake, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart. His demonic power was suppressed by the Sanskrit sound, and he was in great pain. His body was about to disintegrate and become invisible.

The little green snake was curled up in a corner of the Buddhist hall, with a look of horror in its eyes. She felt that her inner demonic nature was being pulled away bit by bit, and the Dharma was like a binding, almost suffocating her. The clear current of the Dharma Realm around us washes away all the dirt. How can we allow an alien like her to exist?

The white lady at Lu Yu Caotang asked her to make up for the sins she had committed, and asked her to go to Da Ci'en Temple to save those who died because of her. If she survived the salvation ceremony, then the Buddha would show mercy to her. , otherwise she deserves it.

Killing for life is a matter of course, but the little snake still hopes that he can have a chance of survival.

"The Great Merciful and Compassionate Buddha, Xiaoqing knows that he made a mistake. He is willing to do good deeds for the rest of his life and make up for his mistakes..."

The little snake swore in his heart.

The little snake was in pain as the Sanskrit sounds filled his ears, and he felt a wisp of compassion floating down from his head.

It looked like someone was patting her on the head.

The little snake opened his eyes and saw a handsome man.

He was smiling at himself, "Why is there a little snake here?"

He gently picked up the little snake and placed it outside the Buddhist hall.

The last words of "take refuge in the Buddha" came to an end. The little snake lying outside the Buddhist hall was exhausted physically and mentally. She seemed to have lost all her demonic nature, as if she had shed a layer of dust.

……

Inside the thatched cottage, the aroma of medicine overflows, and the shelves display a dazzling array of medicinal materials and medicine bottles.

Shopkeeper Xuanfeng selects the medicine according to the prescription. Each medicine is weighed and carefully considered.

There is a blue brick plaque on the cabinet, which reads "Hanging the pot to help the world", revealing a simple and benevolent heart.

The sound of drums sounded slowly in the distance, like flowing clouds and flowing water, announcing the beginning of the curfew.

The dull drum sound gradually intensified, like a melodious sigh between heaven and earth, reminding the world to return to a safe place.

The lights on the streets gradually went out, the hustle and bustle disappeared, and everything was quiet. Only the even sound of drums lingered in the night sky, guarding the sleeping city.

In the market, there are occasional returnees walking around in a hurry, looking for their way home by the faint candlelight.

It was also closing time for Lu Yu Thatched Cottage.

"I wonder what happened to that snake." Xuanfeng stopped mixing the medicine and murmured.

He glanced at White Snake. She had already tidied up her desk and was getting ready to rest.

So Xuanfeng went to close the door of the thatched cottage.

At the moment when the bolt was about to be tied down, a woman in green broke in. Strictly speaking, he bumped in or fell in. It seemed that he had saved up his last bit of strength and traveled many roads to get here.

The west wind is miserable, the twilight is closing, the incense burns quietly in the thatched cottage, the girl in green is running around in panic, with blood stains on her lapel, as dazzling as a withered rose. She staggered over, and the emerald green skirt under her feet was already stained with mud, reflecting the beauty on her snow-white skin.

The girl's brows were filled with panic and helplessness, as if there were soldiers chasing her, and she was hurriedly trying to find shelter.

However, when she crossed the threshold of the thatched cottage and stepped into this quiet place, she was exhausted and exhausted. Her delicate body softened, and she fell lightly like catkins in the wind, falling into the arms of shopkeeper Xuanfeng.

Shopkeeper Xuanfeng's hands trembled slightly, tightly protecting the light body, but he saw that the girl's eyes were closed tightly, the corners of her lips were slightly open, and she was unconscious.

Her cheeks were as pale as paper, and her breathing was weak and silky, which made people feel pity for her.

Shopkeeper Xuanfeng's heart tightened and he was terrified, fearing that Lu Yu Thatched Cottage would be involved in some kind of grudge or feud again.

After all, the scene of a few strong men smashing things up had not yet dissipated the haze from his heart.

Why was this girl in green who suddenly appeared injured, and what kind of story is hidden behind it?
"Sister, what should I do?" Shopkeeper Xuanfeng shouted anxiously to Madam Bai, his face already flushed.

"At this time, don't think about the defense of men and women, you just need to remember the kindness of doctors."

Being reminded by Lady White, Xuanfeng hurriedly helped the girl in green to the couch, then moved away to let Lady White examine the girl in green on the couch.

"The injury is really serious. I don't know what kind of sharp weapon was injured..."

Xuanfeng murmured while watching.

White Snake said: "It's not a sharp weapon, it's Buddhism."

Xuanfeng was stunned.

"You were still caring about her just now. Why can't you recognize her when she's here?"

Lady Bai had already gone to get the medicine, and Xuanfeng looked at the girl on the couch again: "Is she Xiaoqing? Why did she turn into a human form?"

……

In the shimmering brocade, the green snake meanders and enters the dreamland leisurely.

The surroundings are ethereal, but I can see countless solemn Buddhas surrounding me, chanting Buddhist dharma, and the ripples of sound waves are like vajra pestles, shocking the soul.

In this melodious Buddhist sound, the green snake seems to have entered the supreme Zen state and begins another journey of her practice.

The sea of ​​​​mind is turbulent, and various tests come one after another - maybe jumping over the Flame Mountain and being tempered by the fire; or crossing the Lingyun River and being tossed by the violent wind and waves; or being tempted by all kinds of things and experiencing the illusion of lust.

In every calamity, one needs to concentrate on breaking through the obstacles with the sword of wisdom, and resist external demons with a calm mind.

Just when she was sitting on the lotus seat, about to understand the final secret, a handsome man suddenly appeared, and the green snake let out a clear groan, and her body and mind were shaken, and she suddenly woke up.

The auspicious aura lingers before my eyes, and the Buddha's shadow is still hovering on the edge of the dream.

Green Snake slowly opened his eyes, looking back at the many hardships and dangers he had experienced in his dream, and realized that the vast world could become empty in just one thought.

She caressed the pillow softly, feeling the pain that still existed in her body, and couldn't help but feel infinite emotions in her heart.

Suddenly, she sat up and stretched out her hand to look at...

Then use those hands to touch your body and cheeks...

how?

She has taken human form!

"Congratulations, it's a blessing in disguise."

A female voice rang in her ears. Xiaoqing looked up and saw Lady White walking in with a bowl of medicine. She was now in the backyard room of Lu Yu Thatched Cottage.
