The news of Zhe Yang's death spread throughout the Plateau Province in an instant, and then spread outward.
Everyone who knew his identity was shocked and felt sorry, but people outside Plateau Province obviously would not show so many sad emotions like here. For them, Zhe Yang was a legend, but it had nothing to do with them.
.
Just two days have passed, and Li Hu and Feng Siniang have arrived in Plateau Province. No matter how important everything in Jiangzhou is, it is not as important as Ye Yizhe in their hearts. Anyone who knows the situation can easily guess how important this incident is to Ye Yizhe.
Influence.
There was no grand funeral, but Zhe Yang's body was simply wrapped and placed in the thatched house where they lived. Just yesterday, he and Zhe Tianci moved the master out, although he wanted to go there before he died.
White Horse Temple, but he will eventually be buried here.
At this moment, this place that made him feel infinitely warm no longer had any feeling of popularity, and it was deathly silent.
The white-haired Zhe Yang was lying calmly on the mat, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest and his hands still held tightly. Although he had been dead for a short time, his face revealed and presented to Zhe Yang
However, Kazuyo's heart was still full of kindness. Facing such a corpse made people think that he was still alive.
He was so in the spotlight when he was alive, but he died so lonely and peacefully. Ye Yizhe couldn't help but smile with a slightly self-deprecating look, then he softened his look and walked in. He looked at the woman beside him and said, "Master's wife,
I'm back."
Li Hu and Feng Siniang came here, and he arranged for them to stay in the town. He discussed things with them all night, and didn't come back until early this morning, and today was also the day of the master's sky burial.
"Have you been to your senior brother?" Kang Zhuo's words contained a little kindness and a hint of sadness. For Tibetans who believe in Buddhism, life and death are an inseparable whole. From birth, they are
Knowing this, for them, death is not such a terrible thing, nor is it such a solemn sadness. Especially for masters with profound Buddhist teachings, death is just a matter of "Amitabha" and Nirvana.
, which is equivalent to rebirth.
Ye Yizhe squatted down after "hmm" all his life, looked at Zhe Yang who had "nirvana" in front of him, and asked with a slightly trembling tone: "When will master leave?"
Others here might wonder why Zheyang would still ask like this since Zheyang had already left, but Kang Zhuo knew the meaning behind his words. He was asking about sky burials.
Zhe Yang will eventually be buried in the sky, and this is his own choice.
Born in nature and gone in nature.
"We'll go up the mountain in an hour."
"So fast?" Although Ye Yizhe knew that this moment would happen sooner or later, when it did come, he still felt like he was about to fall. Feng Siniang behind him noticed this scene and hurriedly supported him, Kang
Zhuo nodded towards the wife she recognized.
"It has been more than ten years since I came here. Time flies so fast."
Ye Yizhe sighed and said, Zhe Tianci knelt in front of the master and kept chanting Buddhist scriptures. If he didn't come back, it would be most suitable for Sang Teng to do this job. After all, he is the only one who can truly inherit Zhe Yang's mantle.
, but now that his real son is here, no matter how profound the Dharma is, it is not as good as a biological heir.
Kang Zhuo raised his head, looked at the child she and Zhe Yang had cared for for eighteen years, and lovingly stroked his head: "Child, don't cry."
It turned out that Ye Yizhe couldn't help sobbing when he looked at the passing of Zhe Yang. When he heard Kang Zhuo say this, he fell into her arms and said with a cry: "Master, I miss the master."
How could the emotions and habits of so many years just disappear? If you say you’re not sad, you’re just lying to yourself. As you know, Ye Zi, my wife is not an eminent monk, I’m just a little girl.
It’s nothing. What does the reincarnation and cause and effect mentioned by the Buddha have to do with me? But anyone can cry, anyone can be sad. After the sky burial, he will be gone. Then maybe the entire Tibetan people will cry, but I can’t.
Do you understand Ye Zi?"
Ye Yizhe nodded in her arms and said, "I understand, I really understand."
A person can't even cry when he sees the person who has been with him his whole life leaving. All his emotions have to be suppressed. The mistress has to bear far more than he can bear.
"So don't blame your senior brother. It's not that he has no feelings for your master, and it's not that he's not sad. It's not because he has practiced Buddhism for a long time and thinks that your master should reach nirvana. If he could really see through life and death, then he would have been there long ago.
Now that I have become a person like your master, how can I still be just a master of lectures? After all, your master is the only real Buddha in the entire contemporary era. Your senior brother may be doing wrong things, but he has his own goals.
I have never forgotten that your master never blamed him for this. Instead, he often said that we were sorry for him." Kang Zhuo looked down at Zhe Yang who was lying down and said, "Don't blame anyone, this is your master too.
Hopefully, he hopes that we will have a deeper Buddha heart and no longer be bound by life and death. Only when he sees this scene will he be happy."
Ye Yizhe was not surprised how she knew that he had been to the Potala Palace. If the wife could not even guess this, she would not be called wise.
At this moment, "Amitabha" sounded from the door. Ye Yizhe looked up and saw that it was Senior Brother Sang Teng who should be at the Potala Palace.
Sang Teng walked in and saw Zhe Yang lying on the ground, so he squatted down, put one hand on Zhe Yang's head, then turned the beads with the other hand, and chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
Although this ritual should be performed by Zhe Tianci, no one feels strange that he is acting like this at this moment. The person who has followed Zhe Yang the longest here, besides Kang Zhuo, is not Ye Yizhe, but this eldest disciple. Although Zhe Yang has never
He is treated as a descendant, but it cannot change this fact.
Zheyang had two disciples. This matter is well known to everyone, but only Sang Teng has come to the public and inherited Zheyang's mantle. He lectures at White Horse Temple all year round, and now he has entered the Potala Palace.
On the other hand, when commenting on his young apprentice Ye Yizhe, many people would say that this was a wrong decision made by Zheyang in his later years, and that he would ruin Zheyang's reputation in the future. This was after he made a big fuss in the Potala Palace.
, they firmly believe this.
But everyone here knows that what Zhe Yang loves most is Ye Yizhe, who they think is a scourge, not even his biological son Zhe Tianci.
I am afraid that no one except Zhe Yang and Kang Zhuo can understand this.
Even Ye Yizhe has always been confused about this.
After Sang Teng finished all the rituals he could do, he stood up, called Kang Zhuo "Master's Wife", then sat down on his own, and then looked at Ye Yizhe, who was filled with indignation in the Potala Palace yesterday and said
: "Yi Zi, your quarrel has attracted a lot of people."
He originally complained about his going to the Potala Palace, but now he has calmed down a lot. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but wonder: "How do you say this?"
Sang Teng did not answer, but turned to look at Kang Zhuo and said: "Master, after what Junior Brother made the day before yesterday, it is estimated that the news that Master has gone has been completely spread. Although not many people here know about it, people who are thoughtful will always know.
Yes, there must be many people coming here today."
Ye Yizhe was startled after hearing Sang Teng's words, then looked at Kang Zhuo with an apologetic expression and said, "Master's wife..."
Kang Zhuo waved his hand to stop what he wanted to say: "I don't blame you for this. Even if there are no people around you, they will know. How many eyes have been watching us in seclusion here these years, your master's identity is
There is no peace there, and no matter what you do, you can't change it."
Then Kang Zhuo sighed and said, "Let's go, it's time to send your master up the mountain."
After that, Sang Teng and Ye Yizhe lifted the shelf holding Zhe Yang's body and walked out. Kang Zhuo walked in front and led the way. Zhe Tianci was beside her, rolling the beads in his hand.
Si Niang and others were walking behind, seeing off the living Buddha on his last journey.
There is still a mountain road of one or two hundred meters from here to the top of the mountain. It may be easy for Ye Yizhe, but Sang Teng is nearly sixty years old. What no one expected was that Sang Teng, who looked already old, actually raised his head.
As Zhu Zheyang walked up the mountain road, he didn't stagger at all. He was very steady and looked like he was getting stronger. I guess it was because he exercised regularly.
Before reaching the top of the mountain, Zhe Yiye saw the towering figures on the top of the mountain in the distance. They looked densely packed, and they had obviously been at the top of the mountain for a long time.
"They came up from the other side. Because of your master, many people respect him, so except for us, no one who believes in Tibetan Buddhism will walk on that half of the mountain." It seemed that he knew that Ye Yizhe was showing off his secret.
Santeng looked back and explained.
"I didn't expect them to come too." Kang Zhuo was walking in front and could already see the figures in front of him. He suddenly stopped and said. Following Kang Zhuo's gaze, Ye Yizhe found that the people on the top of the mountain were all looking at them.
Here, they knew they would come from this direction from the beginning, he thought to himself.
The leaders were two men. Even if Ye Yizhe had never heard anything about the world before, they were the two men he often saw on TV.
Quan Liguo, secretary of the Plateau Provincial Party Committee, and Bai Majiangcun, chairman of the government.
