It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

At Yuan Ye last year, the flower market lights up like the day.

The moon arrives at the willow head, and people meet after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and the lights are still there.

No one from last year, tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt.

Walking on the wide Suzaku Street, feeling the festive atmosphere of thousands of years ago, there is a trace of loneliness and bleakness in Zhang Yang's heart.

In the Tang Dynasty, a curfew was implemented. Traveling at night was prohibited when the ban drum sounded, and those who violated the night were punished; only on the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor granted a three-day ban, which was called "release night".

Tiantian was dimly lit, and many people gathered on the street to watch the fun. People were laughing, playing, and venting their enthusiasm. In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities. Everyone wanted to have fun on such a festival. Just give up.

The Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Eating Lantern Festival Lanterns and guessing lantern riddles is a traditional project of the Lantern Festival. On this day, every house will hang up lanterns, paste riddles and place them at the door for passers-by to appreciate and judge, and set off firecrackers and fireworks, creating a scene of boiling.

There are more and more people on the street. Now that the first lunar month has just passed, people are still immersed in the joy of the festival. There is nothing to work in the fields, and they have extra energy to come out.On this night of the Yuan Dynasty, people are like weaving horses and dragons, singing and dancing everywhere, showing the scene of a prosperous age.

The lanterns on the street are connected one by one, forming a sea of ​​lights, which is infinite, and the city is full of flowers, full of oceans of lights!All kinds of patterns, various shapes, various patterns, all kinds of strange gestures.Red is like fire, blue is like smoke, purple is mysterious and yellow is brilliant, and the colorful decoration of Chang'an City is really beautiful.

Zhang Yang walked silently, and the whole person was out of tune with the lively atmosphere here. He was holding a vermilion revolving lantern bought from a street stall set up by an old grandmother on the roadside. The strong color brought out his loneliness even more, and his mind kept reverberating. Some pictures of the previous life.

"Zhang Yang, I've thought about it carefully. Let's break up. It's better for everyone."

"I really can't imagine that there will be a man who deals with corpses all day long by my side, who will always smell of formalin. Every time I think of this, I can't sleep. We really Not suitable."

The long-haired woman spoke cruel words indifferently, with a natural expression, as if she was discussing the weather with someone and said good morning.He didn't care about the change in Zhang Yang's face when he heard this.

Zhang Yang looked at the woman in front of him, she was such a gentle woman, this woman engraved in his heart, looked so ironic at this moment.

This is the Chinese New Year of the 10th Lunar Year of the Tiger, and it is also Valentine’s Day on February 2th in the western calendar. At this time, Zhang Yang is still a college student who has not left school, and he is still very innocent, with no distractions in his feelings.

Zhang Yang got up early in the morning, cleaned himself up, and went out!He made a face at his mother, ignoring her sad eyes when she looked at him.

10 minutes. . . . . .

half an hour. . . . . .

One hour. . . . . .

Starbucks, Zhang Yang sat at the position closest to the gate, glanced at his watch from time to time to look at the gate, a little anxious, but the figure he was expecting never appeared.

Time passed by every second and every minute, and when it was close to noon, my girlfriend came slowly, with exquisite makeup, and sat down calmly.

Unexpectedly, what he waited for was not an apology, but a breakup. Zhang Yang really couldn't accept it. He looked into the woman's eyes and tried to find a trace of teasing, but the ending was very disappointing.

"I'm going to study in Australia next week. Regardless of the geographical differences or the path we will take in the future, it's better for us to be separated. We are not suitable." The woman reiterated again, took a sip of coffee, looked at Zhang Yang, There is no previous love.

Zhang Yang didn't listen any more, what was inappropriate and what didn't suit him were all excuses, his heart was gone, his love was broken, no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.

His face is very calm, the corners of his eyes are sour, he has invested deeply in this relationship, and he planned to give the two of them a result of their love after graduation. He really thought about the future between the two of them, but now it seems that, Everything is unnecessary, I am just a supporting role in this love affair, just to entertain the public.

No one has the right to hurt others arbitrarily, even if you plan to separate, please don't use such clumsy excuses, it's hurting others!

From the time I realized it to now, my identity has not changed, I sit around the same thing every day, without any change, I am still the original self, I have been fine before, why can’t I bear it now?A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, but that's all!

Without love, everything can be wrong!

Smile, it's no big deal, if you want to leave, I will let go, but I will never start again.

Time flies by, 300 years ago, on the night of Shangyuan Festival in the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, this day has always been known as "Chinese Valentine's Day", I still live alone.

Zhang Yang's mood was very low.

Watching couples of young men and women passing by hand in hand on the street is even more indescribably lonely.Is it really just a legend for me to hold my son's hand and grow old together?

Could it be that my low character really offended God, ah no, offended Lord Buddha, and was demoted here to receive punishment?Zhang Yang had to express doubts about this.

The master monk Daoyue followed the historical track and went to Puguang Temple to be his temple master. Yun Yin accompanied him, but he didn't bring himself with him.

Before leaving, he patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement,

"Bianji, don't blame the master. The young eagle always has to learn to fly by itself. You are different from Yunyin. You still have a long way to go. These masters can't help you. You can only go on with your own efforts. Master can't always be with you."

"Practice well the qi-nourishing exercises that my teacher gave you. After all, martial arts will always take care of yourself."

"master..."

"Okay, not much to say, take good care of yourself, and when you encounter troubles that you can't solve by yourself, remember to have a master!"

"Yes, master, the disciples should remember the master's teachings."

Zhang Yang knew that Daoyue wanted to sharpen himself and experience more, so that he would no longer be impulsive when encountering problems, no longer decide the solution of the matter with his subjective emotions, and be able to look at things more maturely.

This time I did it too hastily, without considering the consequences of doing so, and making a direct announcement like this will not only make Da Zongchi Temple look good, but also offend most people in the temple, and indirectly spread the darkness of the Buddhist family. In front of violent people, this is a very unwise approach. There is no room for loopbacks if you push yourself close to a dead end, and it also makes Buddhism suffer from the public's saliva and judgment.

Also, in ancient history, people paid great attention to the concept of family status. In the eyes of some people, my own way of exposing family ugliness may be the behavior of a white-eyed wolf who betrays the teacher and destroys the master and repays the revenge. The gain is not worth the loss!

Although he knew that he did have these deficiencies and that he really needed to work hard on these aspects, Zhang Yang still felt very uncomfortable about being left behind.I am in Datang, and I am truly alone.

Originally, he wanted to ask Ji Yanran to come out to watch the lanterns together, cultivate feelings and improve the relationship between the two, but he was told that the beauty would leave the house first, so Zhang Yang had to carry the lantern, hoping for an unexpected encounter.

For Ji Yanran, Zhang Yang's feelings are very complicated, whether it is sympathy for this woman's pitiful experience, or just love at first sight, Zhang Yang himself can't tell the difference, but what is certain is that he will treat each other sincerely.
