When my sight returned, all I could see was an endless peach garden with colorful fallen flowers.
Fahai sat alone under a peach tree, burning fragrant tea, but he was also at ease.
"May I ask, who is Zen Master Fahai?"
When the scholar asked, Fa Hai raised his head. In front of him was a middle-aged scholar, dressed simply, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
Fahai then stood up and clasped his hands together: "The donor has a sad look on his face. If you have any knots in your heart, why don't you sit down and talk in detail?"
"Thank you very much."

After the two of them took their seats, Fahai stopped the other party from speaking directly and instead poured a cup of fragrant tea first.
"Donor, life is bitter, but it is not as bitter as the fragrant tea in the cup. Please."
Seeing this, the scholar could only drink the tea in one gulp.
However, the bitterness that echoed between his lips and teeth made the scholar frown.
When Fa Hai saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Bitter?"
The scholar replied: "Yes. This tea is indeed extremely bitter. But it is really good tea. Did Zen Master Fahai brew it from mountains and rivers?"
Fahai smiled: "I make tea in three ways. Mountain water is the top, spring water is the middle, and well water is the bottom."
The scholar is also a tea lover. After listening to Fahai's words, his eyes lit up: "Zen master actually has such attainments in the tea ceremony! I am impressed by these twelve words alone!"
Fahai continued: "Now that the donor has tasted it carefully, what do you think of this tea?"
"Well, although it is unbearably bitter, the aftertaste is endless, and the aroma of tea is refreshing." The scholar couldn't help but sigh.

"Donor, life is short, and there is always bitterness and sorrow in autumn, just like the tea in the cup. Even if you drink it all in one go, it will inevitably be bitter and intolerable. You can savor it carefully, but there will be nothing worth remembering?"
The scholar was startled: "Zen Master Fahai, is this... knowing that you have a knot in your heart?"
Fahai smiled heartily: "The world-famous benefactor Wen Tingyun can only express his sorrow for anything."
With that said, Fahai dipped some tea in his cup and wrote on the table - Shi, Qing.
"Yes, official career, love..." Wen Tingyun sighed: "Then I would like to ask Zen Master Fahai to help me clear up my doubts."
"Oh? Who?"
Wen Tingyun took a deep breath and said: "Yu Xiaowei! Now Xianyi is looking at the mystery of the fish!"
"Fa Hai has heard about the talent and name of the mysterious benefactor."
Wen Tingyun sighed: "At first, she fell in love with me at first sight. But... there is a big age gap between us, so it's okay for us to be close friends. But as a loving couple, we may not be tolerated by the world."
"So, I introduced him to my good friend Li Yi, who was the number one scholar in the new field that year and was famous as a child prodigy. I thought they were talented men and beautiful women. On their wedding day, I even gave them a pair of mandarin duck rings!"

"But now, she was sent to Xianyiguan by Li Yi, converted to Xuanmen, and became Yu Xuanji."
"I feel quite guilty for her!"
Fahai nodded: "So, you don't dare to see her?"
"yes!"
Fa Hai replied: "The eight sufferings of Buddhism are birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, not getting what you want, and the five aggregates are flourishing. Since Tingyun Donor originally 'loved separation', he should not have made the decision to let Donor Xuanji and Donor Li Yi know each other."
"If you do this, wouldn't you treat the mysterious benefactor as an object?"
"It is a beautiful thing for gentlemen to be humble to each other, but treating women as objects and being humble to each other will only break a delicate heart..."
"If the poor monk's prediction is true, the mysterious benefactor agreed to the wedding very decisively that year, right?"
Wen Tingyun smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! This made me relieved for a while, thinking... I thought she was just... to me..."
"Just a whim? Wrong! The donor is so wrong!"

"The mysterious benefactor is a talented woman with a great reputation. Such a talented woman from a poor family is naturally extremely arrogant. What you did hurt her dignity. She also simply took your mind."
"But, I think she seems to really love Li Yi." Wen Tingyun drank another cup of tea and sighed.
Fa Hai shook his head: "Although I have never met the mysterious benefactor, the poems circulated by him clearly show that he enjoys life, which is different from the woman's life ambitions."
"Such talented and talented women have their own way of life."
"You abandoned her and humiliated her. Now she naturally wants to live a better life."
"She chose to deceive all living beings, deceive herself, and more importantly, deceive you!"
Wen Tingyun was shocked, and the tea cup in his hand subconsciously fell on the table.
The remaining tea in the cup was spilled on the table, faintly reflecting the gorgeous peach blossoms in the sky.
Wen Tingyun was a little absent-minded, but he soon noticed his gaffe, and said apologetically: "If you bother the Zen Master, I'll ruin the Zen Master's elegance!"
Fahai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's best if the knot in the heart of the donor is resolved."

"Well. Now that she is in Xianyiguan, I can't find her in person, but... I can write a letter and ask her maid Luqiao to give it to her!"
At this moment, Wen Tingyun's eyes seemed to be filled with sparkle again.
"In just a few words during our conversation today, I feel that Zen Master has advanced cultivation skills! Tingyun will definitely visit me again in the future!"
“Donor, you’re welcome!”
After the two said goodbye, Fahai just sat down when someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.
"Fa Hai!" The young escort smiled heartily.
"You..." Fa Hai smiled and shook his head: "Friend Xi Xuan, why do you have time to come here today? Why don't you go to Hua Fang to meet your Miss Bai?"
Xi Xuan's face turned red and he scratched his cheek subconsciously: "The time has not come yet. I knew you would be here to enjoy the flowers today, so I came to see them first."
"By the way, I saw you chatting with someone just now. Who is that person?"
Fahai smiled and said: "Wen Tingyun."
Koukou 563743675
Xi Xuan's eyes lit up: "It's that famous writer! Next time you want to see him, you have to call me!"
"Okay." Fahai smiled and wiped the tea on the table: "Since you are here, sit down."
...
While talking and laughing, the sun sets in the west.
Fahai knew that Wen Tingyun would come back to find him, but he did not expect that just one day later, the great writer would come to the temple.
This time, even ordinary people could see Wen Tingyun's despair.
After getting closer, Fahai looked at the pale face, reddish eyes, and the smell of alcohol all over his body. He might have been awake all night.
Fa Hai lit a piece of agarwood to soothe the nerves: "How did the donor... today?"
Wen Tingyun was still a little drunk: "Zen Master, she refused!"
Fa Hai paused slightly while pouring tea, but did not speak.

"I gave the letter to her maid, Lu Qiao, but... I waited all night, but I didn't wait for her after all! She must have given up on me!"
Fahai finally showed a hint of unbearable expression: "Maybe... the mysterious donor, didn't he receive your letter?"
"Haha..." Wen Tingyun let out a miserable laugh: "No, she has a very good relationship with her maid Lu Qiao. There is no way Lu Qiao has not received my letter."
"I originally thought that as long as the mystery could show up, I would go to my friend Li Yi's house today to clarify the matter and ask him to return the mystery to me, but now..."
Fa Hai shook his head and couldn't help but said: "Love is a heart-breaking thing. I, a monk, don't understand the elegance among you literati. But this matter has returned to its origin. The evil cause lies with you, the donor."
"Now, cause and effect respond, why do you suffer when your heart is haggard because of separation from love?"
After a while, Fahai made a cup of tea and put it in front of Wen Tingyun: "Donor, it's better to drink a cup of tea and sober up. No matter what the future is, let's make new plans."
However, Wen Tingyun seemed to be even more drunk, lying on the table with an imageless giggle.
"The tea made by the Zen Master is really extraordinary... In the near future, I am going to start compiling a book about the tea ceremony, and I will have a good discussion with the Zen Master... ......."
Seeing Wen Tingyun sleeping soundly on the table, Fa Hai shook his head.
After getting up and finding a piece of thick velvet to cover Wen Tingyun, Fahai sat cross-legged on the futon beside him and gradually fell asleep.
...
He didn't wake up until the next day, only to find that Wen Tingyun had disappeared.
There was only a piece of paper left on the desk with four words - Thank you, my friend.
Being called a good friend can be regarded as the great writer's admiration and recognition of Fahai.
Fahai sighed and murmured: "It's a worldly thing..."
...
Time passes like a fleeting moment.
Under the blooming and falling flowers, Fa Hai and Wen Tingyun have known each other for a long time.
Since Wen Tingyun was in an official position, it was better for him to come to see him as often as Xi Xuan.

But every time I look for it, it usually takes one night.
Although Fahai could see that Wen Tingyun's spirit was gradually improving, the sadness in his eyes was unmistakable.
On this day, in the quiet room, Wen Tingyun suddenly said: "Li Yi... has completely cut off all contact with Xuanji."
"Because... Pei!"
Fahai was stunned by Wen Tingyun's words.
Fa Hai was stunned because the person he replaced happened to be a member of the Pei family.
But Wen Tingyun misunderstood, thinking that his words made Fa Hai mistakenly think that he was angry with him.
Immediately, Wen Tingyun said quickly: "Friend, you misunderstood! I know that you are also a member of the Pei family."
"However, Li Yi's wife and you are just distant relatives and can be regarded as branches of the clan. I have no intention of blaming you!"
Fahai did not choose to continue this topic: "Friend, it's time for you to let it go."

"Let go...? I don't want to, and I can't..." Wen Tingyun suddenly asked: "My friend, is there anything you can't let go of?"
Fahai's breath stagnated, and with a deep look in his eyes, he said faintly: "My friend, have you heard about...the disaster in Luoyang?"
"Luoyang?" Wen Tingyun was stunned: "Are you talking about the floods recorded in the book somewhere?"
Fahai nodded: "Not bad."
"But... about a hundred years have passed since the incident in Luoyang. Why are my friends unwilling to let go of such things?"
"Yeah..." Fa Hai turned around and smiled: "My friend, you are actually lucky. Although love makes people grow old, the people they care about are still alive and well after all."
"However, the dead can only live in our memories after all. This is the most unfortunate thing..."
...
At the same time, Liu Zhengye and the other two people inside the hotel looked nervously at the clock on the wall.
"Kong Sang has been sleeping all day. This is not the way to go!" Liu Zhengye was a little anxious: "Zhang Peng, has the minister sent another message?"
Password five six ③ ⑦ four three six five
Zhang Peng said helplessly: "The branch members of the Department of Good and Evil have been lying in wait for a long time. However, the minister also said that the branch members also have their own tasks and cannot leave their posts for too long."
Chen Tao said: "However, judging from the last time we were in the Purple Golden Bowl, Kong Sang will not be able to wake up so soon!"
Just when the three of them were extremely anxious, the lights in the entire room began to dim and brighten.
While holding his breath and concentrating, he heard a familiar murmur.
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed: "No, it's coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the possessed Li Xuyuan at the window, his scarlet eyes staring intently at Kong Sang, who was sleeping in the room, and a hoarse voice slowly sounded:
