After Tian's funeral, everyone stood up at the same time, said some words of condolences to Kang Zhuo, and then left the top of the mountain one after another. After leaving, everyone still went down the mountain from the other side, not from the direction Ye Yizhe and the others came from.
As soon as he thought about it, he understood their thoughts. If Zheyang stopped paying attention to the rules that had been made because of Zheyang as soon as he left everyone, then it would be too wolf mentality. But Ye Yizhe knew that gradually, that area
It will no longer be so silent. Many people will slowly go up the mountain. Even some lamas who respect Zhe Yang from the bottom of their hearts will do this. This mountain is not small, and the sky burial platform on the top of the mountain is larger than that of many temples.
It's much bigger, or maybe the government will come to develop this place into a tourist attraction. After all, it was Zhe Yang who was buried in the sky here.
Ye Yizhe, who couldn't help feeling a little emotional, chuckled and shook his head. After all, this place is an ownerless thing. If Zheyang is gone, people will naturally come slowly. All this is not so difficult to accept.
In the end, both Quan Liguo and Quan Liguo came over and held Kang Zhuo's hand. After saying these polite words, "If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to us." They also left one after another. Only Ye Yizhe and the others were left on the top of the mountain.
"Master Wife, let's go down the mountain too." Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Yizhe said to Kang Zhuo.
Kang Zhuo was looking at the center of the celestial burial platform, motionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that Kang Zhuo didn't respond and wanted to step forward, Sang Teng stopped him: "Let Master's Wife sit alone for a while. I think this is also the last time that Master's Wife will appear as a Sky Burial Master."
Ye Yizhe was startled, then nodded and stood behind Kang Zhuo without saying a word.
"Mom, let's go down." Zhe Tianci stood up. He had been kneeling for such a long time. He had always respected his father, whom he had not seen for many years. This status had always been his pride.
Kang Zhuo shook his head, and turned his head after half the payment. He did not look at him, but looked at the two apprentices with a huge age difference in front of him, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have been thinking just now, wait until I
When I die, who will be my sky burial master?"
"Master's wife..." Ye Yizhe wanted to say some comforting words, but he still stopped what he had not said. The age difference between Kang Zhuo and Zhe Yang is not big. Zhe Yang has passed away. Even if Kang Zhuo lives longer, he will not
There are too many years.
Sang Teng put his hands together in a posture of worship and said "Amitabha" before saying: "Master, you are the best sky burial master in Plateau Province. No matter what, you can't be better than the master in this matter."
alright."
)
"Haha." Kang Zhuo herself also laughed, but such a smile inevitably had a sense of vicissitudes and helplessness on her already wrinkled face, although due to the long-term exercise of the strength in her hands and her healthy body, it was not
It makes people feel that she is old. Even though she is already seventy, she looks like she is only around fifty, but she is old after all, both mentally and physically. She still has such a mentality at this age.
, Kang Zhuo himself felt a little weird.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yizhe also wiped away some of the irritability caused by his master's sky burial. He looked at Kang Zhuo and asked again: "Shall we go down the mountain?"
Although he was asking, he had already taken steps to leave. There was no point in staying on the top of the mountain any longer, except that there was more cool breeze than below, so the two of them walked in front. When Kang Zhuo made no move, they turned back and shouted:
"Master's wife..."
"Wait a minute." Kang Zhuo stopped him again, "Yi Zi, Sang Teng, I have something to tell you here."
"Here?" Zhe Yiye asked doubtfully, there is something that cannot be discussed after going down the mountain. He turned to look at Sang Teng and found that he was looking at Kang Zhuo with the same confusion as himself.
"In this life, people come in vain and leave in vain. Your master is gone like this. The glory of a life is just a cloud in the end? What can we take away? Your master also arrived ten years ago
Only then did he fully understand this truth, and then handed over the White Horse Temple to Sang Teng, devoted himself to studying Buddhism, and began the experience of his last period of life. What he thought and understood was not recorded in the end, but only existed in his mind.
In my mind, and here.”
When Sang Teng heard this, his face was a little sad. He finally left the place that his master gave him. Speaking of this, after all, he was the one who felt sorry for his master.
As he spoke, Kang Zhuo took out an object wrapped in a silk scarf from his arms and slowly opened it until its true face was revealed.
Dzi beads.
And it is a very valuable Lotus Dzi Bead. Zhe Yiye looked carefully and found that this Lotus Dzi Bead was different from the ordinary Lotus Dzi Bead. Although the Lotus Dzi Bead was very valuable, even if Zheyang's identity was not mentioned, even if
For a master like Sang Teng, Lotus Dzi Beads are not that rare. The reason why Dzi Beads are so valuable is not only that natural Dzi Beads are hard to find, but also depends on what level they are made of.
If it is a dzi bead that Zhe Yang has personally ordained, its value will be immeasurable. But the lotus dzi bead in front of him is different from what Zhe Yiye has seen before. The lotus pattern on it is very pure and white.
, it gives people a holy feeling at first glance. Natural Dzi beads. Have you ever seen such marble-like white?
It is much whiter than the one he had before. It is obviously not very old, it should be in recent years.\
Sang Teng was shocked when he saw this Dzi bead. He looked at the Dzi bead in Kang Zhuo's hand with a look of disbelief on his face. Sang Teng was just slightly stunned at most, but at this moment, he opened his mouth wide and pointed at the Dzi bead with one hand.
His eyes widened and he murmured: "This...this..."
When Zhe Tianci saw this, he felt shocked, but after a second thought, he recovered and showed a relieved expression.
"What's wrong, senior brother?" Ye Yizhe saw this look on Sang Teng for the first time. Even if he provoked him to that extent, it was just a fleeting expression, although he had always said that Sang Teng had no such thing as happiness or anger.
It was very artificial, but he still admired his senior brother in his heart. Only those who have truly seen through some things can do this. His expression at this moment subverted all the opinions in his heart.
"Yes, this is the inheritance Dzi bead passed down by your master!"
As if he understood what Sang Teng wanted to say, Kang Zhuo nodded and said.
Hearing Kang Zhuo's words, Ye Yizhe was also stunned. The Dzi beads passed down by his master?
Tibetan Buddhism began to be passed down from the time of Padmasambhava. It can be said that Padmasambhava is the Buddha in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist people.
From this point of view, the things passed down by Zheyang cannot be more precious than the Dzi beads passed down by the previous Master Padmasambhava, but it will obviously be different for the two apprentices. This is what the master gave them.
, can be said to be the recognition they want most in their lives.
"This Dzi Bead has been practiced since your master has been practicing Buddhism and using his life-long practice to achieve salvation. This Dzi Bead is also priceless."
In fact, it has nothing to do with the price. Even Ye Yizhe, who is indifferent to money, looks at everything in front of him as if he is seeing mountains of gold and silver. What is contained in this is nothing else but his feelings for his master.
It was only at this moment that Sang Teng calmed down and said "Amitabha" before continuing: "This Dzi Bead is the relic of the master."
Kang Zhuo nodded and said to Ye Yizhe: "Yi Zi, this Dzi Bead is the last thing your master left for you."
Seeing Ye Yizhe's expression of shock, Sang Teng's expression became normal after the previous shock, as if he had expected it.
When Kang Zhuocai was not surprised by this scene, he continued: "Yi Zi, you also know that you are the master's favorite disciple. No matter how much you misinterpret his Dharma, you often go against him, and then make him fly into a rage. You are
In his heart, his status is much higher than that of Sang Teng. I know this, Sang Teng knows this, and you yourself have always known it."
"However, I understand, and Sang Teng understands, but you have never understood it, and all of us know that you don't understand, but no one will mention it to you, because your master always says, 'Zi Zi, this child
, your enlightenment is higher than mine', we are all waiting for you to understand this on your own. In fact, what I want to say is that it is possible for a living Buddha to have human feelings. Except for you, no one else in the world can do this.
No one else can do it."
"You may not know that your master once went to the Vatican and had a far-reaching debate with the Pope on issues of faith. Even that time, for your master, it was not as interesting as your debate with him.
nature."
"At your master's age, when he has studied Buddhism to the point where he has returned to his original nature, problems that can be explained by Buddhist scriptures are no longer a problem for him. In his later years, he got a disciple like you. Your master once told me,
This is the greatest honor in his life and an honor."
Seeing Ye Yizhe's hesitant expression, Kang Zhuo smiled and continued: "Don't ask me why, I don't know this either. He has never told me about this. Every time I ask, he just smiles.
, occasionally saying words like 'He will understand in the future', and then no more words."
"Except for everything that has happened in these years, I don't know anything else about you, including the reason why your master values you so much, and your origins."
When Ye Yizhe heard Kang Zhuo's words, he was stunned. Kang Zhuo didn't bother him and just looked at him quietly. After half a minute, he took a deep breath and said, "My wife doesn't know that I
What’s the origin?”
This question has been bothering him for more than ten years. Ever since he was sensible, he has been asking Zheyang where he comes from and who his parents are. Every time he is asked this question, Zheyang always smiles.
, and then without comment, now that Zhe Yang has passed away, his original thought was that Zhe Yang told Kang Zhuo about this matter before he died, otherwise he would never be able to find out the truth of the matter, and really put his trust in someone who didn't know where he would appear.
Ancient Tianhe, this is too difficult.
Kang Zhuo shook his head: "We were all by your master's side when he was dying. Just one night before that, I asked him if he had anything to tell Sang Teng. He just shook his head.
I asked him again if he had anything to explain to me. He also shook his head. I asked him again if he had anything to explain to you. At this time, he looked outside the door with a look of reminiscence.
, seemed to want to say something, but suddenly thought of something, opened his mouth and closed it again, sighed and said, it would be better for Ye Zi to find some things by himself, this is his
Destiny. Then your master handed this into my hands and said, Ye Zi, this child, may live in killings all his life. I hope this can bring him peace of mind. This is the only thing I can do for him.
Something happened."
"Killing? Peace of soul?" Not only Ye Yizhe, but also Sang Teng couldn't help but ask, "How can a junior brother kill if he is good? With the master's cultivation, can't he give him peace?"
It’s no wonder that the two of them were surprised. In the view of Buddhist masters, there is nothing that cannot be purified by Buddhism. As long as they chant sutras, they can obtain spiritual liberation. For living Buddhas like Zhe Yang, there is no peace of mind.
Say, how many people have paid a lot of money just to see Zhe Yang and get a word of advice from him? With Zhe Yang's words of advice, what kind of ghosts and snakes will not disappear like fireworks? And for such things, whether you believe it or not, you don't.
, I naturally believe in Zhe Yang. If I don’t believe it, it’s useless to say anything. With Zhe Yang’s words, there is no clue at all.
Could it be that the master has lost his temper as he gets older? Although Ye Yizhe thought so, he didn't dare to say it out loud. With Sang Teng's respect for Zhe Yang, even if he was Zhe Yang's favorite disciple, Sang Teng would risk his own life.
The danger of his own Dharma kicked him down the mountain.
Kang Zhuo seemed to see what he was thinking at a glance. He knocked on his head and said, "Your master has a reason for saying this. At that time, I also had the same idea as you and asked the question. You
Do you know how your master answered me?" Seeing that both of them thought for a while, Kang Zhuocai shook his head and said, "I am just a fake living Buddha, how can I be qualified to appease his soul? This Dzi Bead is
I have spent my whole life working hard, I hope this can help Yiye."
Hearing this, Ye Yizhe calmed down. The master would naturally not be unreasonable. Since he said so, he must have a reason. The master must not know the truth. She still has to find out all this by herself. Listening to the master's words, everything seems not to be wrong.
Simple, but why didn't the master tell him until he was dying?
After Kang Zhuo finished saying what he wanted to say, he put the Dzi Bead in his hand: "Ye Zi, this is what your master entrusted to you before he died. I will give it to you now. From now on, I, a woman who is a Taoist, will also
I can't help you with anything."
As a result, Zhe Yiye suddenly felt a lot heavier after the dzi bead handed over by his master. He must find out his life experience. He originally thought that the master would leave some clues. After burying the master in the sky, he also wanted to have a good relationship with his master.
He wanted to chat with him to see if the master had left any traces for him. In his opinion, the master knew everything, and it was difficult to find anything that could stump him. He had asked the master this question before,
But the master always smiled and shook his head, and ended the topic by saying "the time has not come yet". Until the master left, he never got the answer. But at this moment, the master's wife actually said this, it was obvious that the master meant to let
He was asked to look for this matter himself, but since he had no clues at all, how to look for it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Seeing his heavy look, Kang Zhuo clasped his hand and said, "Since your master said it, you will naturally see hope when the time comes. It's not like you don't know your master. There must be his intention in doing this."
"Of course I won't blame the master. If it weren't for the master, I probably wouldn't know where I am in the wilderness right now. I just can't figure it out." He paused for a while and then said softly.
After saying that, he held the dzi bead and walked down the mountain.
"Master's wife, let's go down the mountain."
Although there was a tone of discussion, he didn't look back.
Sang Teng, who was following him, felt the flash of momentum, thought deeply in his heart, and nodded secretly.
With this smile, Zhe Tianci's eyes, which had been paying attention to him, flickered, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
