There was a hint of curiosity in Ling Xiao's eyes.
"Let me tell you a story first!"
The wine master said slowly, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Then, before Ling Xiao agreed, he started talking to himself.
"There was a scholar in Qinghe State in the East China Sea. The scholar lived in a small mountain village. He was poor since he was a child, but he loved reading. When he was twenty years old, he ranked first among the top three Jinshi scholars and became the number one scholar in Qinghe State. The whole small mountain village was shocked.
, the scholar honors his ancestors and parades through the streets on horseback, incomparable scenery!
The scholar has a childhood sweetheart fiancee named Xiaoyue, who has a good relationship with the scholar. After the scholar won the first prize, he planned to marry Xiaoyue, but the princess of Qinghe Kingdom fell in love with the scholar and wanted to recruit the scholar as her consort! The scholar didn't
After obeying the order, the king was furious and sent the scholar to the Snowy Mountains in the far north of Qinghe Kingdom to build a city wall!
All the scholars rebelled against their relatives, but only Xiaoyue stayed with him and never left him. He stayed in the Snowy Mountains for three years..."
The wine master spoke in a very soothing tone, just like reminiscing.
Ling Xiao was thinking in his mind that the Master of Wine might be telling his own story, and that the scholar might be the Master of Wine.
Ling Xiao was still listening quietly, listening to a story.
"The three years in the Daxue Mountains, although poor, were the happiest three years for the scholar and Xiaoyue. The scholar built the Great Wall of the Daxue Mountains and led the villagers to drive out the invading barbarians from the Great Wall! The king sent an envoy to tell the scholar
, as long as he agrees to marry the princess, he can return to the capital immediately, but the scholar does not obey the order and would rather accompany Xiaoyue in the Snowy Mountains."
The wine master said slowly, his voice a little rough, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"Above the snow-capped mountains, the scholar and Xiaoyue planted grain and vegetables in the ice cellar, hunted in the snow forest, watched the cold winds come all year round, and hugged each other under the vast sky and earth. The scholar felt that there was nothing better than this.
What makes people happier!
But the princess' love for the scholar turned into hatred, and she was jealous of the scholar's feelings for Xiaoyue. She was envious of the bookstore who would never leave Xiaoyue under such circumstances, so the princess' love turned into murderous intent. While the scholar was once again
When resisting the barbarians, he sent an assassin to kill Xiaoyue.
After the scholar came back, Xiaoyue was already dead! But Xiaoyue died without any pain. There was a smile between her eyebrows, but there was still deep attachment and regret in her eyes. Maybe she was reluctant to leave like this!
The scholar went completely crazy. He held Xiaoyue's body and roared on the snowy mountain, asking why the thief God was so cruel? Why are good people not rewarded, but bad people can do whatever they want? He was even willing to die for Xiaoyue. He
He wants to avenge Xiaoyue, but he is just a powerless scholar. How can he deal with the princess and the king?
The scholar held Xiaoyue's body and sat on the snowy mountain for three days and three nights. Snowflakes fell all over his body and turned him into an ice sculpture. The scholar even thought that if he died like this, he might be able to accompany Xiaoyue.
Is it a month?
A passing Taoist priest saved the scholar. He lamented that the scholar had supreme Taoist bones and was a wizard of Taoism. He even had the hope of reaching the supreme divine realm that Taoist priests could not achieve in their lifetime!
But the scholar already had the desire to die, not to mention practicing Taoism, he even had no desire to live! But the Taoist priest told the scholar two things: First, as long as the scholar is strong enough, Xiaoyue can die and be resurrected.
Second, the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs, but only if you are strong enough can you control your own destiny, and even take revenge.
The scholar achieved great enlightenment and worshiped the Taoist priest as his teacher on the snowy mountain!
The scholar really lived up to the expectations of the Taoist priest. He practiced Taoism on the snowy mountains for ten years, observed the natural changes in the world, and understood the principles of the universe and the stars. He reached the realm of the Taoist priest, and was only one step away from the supreme divine realm.
The Taoist priest passed away, and the scholar buried the Taoist priest on the Snow Mountain. Then he wanted to return to Qinghe Kingdom for revenge, and killed both the princess and the king to honor Xiaoyue's spirit in heaven.
However, he met a powerful Buddhist Shinto man. In order to sacrifice to the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, he slaughtered 50 million living beings in the Qinghe Kingdom, and integrated all the Qinghe Kingdom's thousands of miles into the Buddha Kingdom in the War.
The scholar is crazy and seems to be possessed by a demon. He uses what he has learned in his life, but he is still no match for the strong Buddhist master.
But the Buddhist strongman did not kill the scholar, but took him back to the Buddhist Blood Buddha Temple. The scholar became a slave under the relic pagoda to worship the Buddha's relics, and used his own blood to worship the Buddha's relics all day long.
Millions of years ago, the demons invaded the God Realm, and the Blood Buddha Temple was not immune. The Buddhist strongman also died in the demon invasion. The scholar escaped by chance. He wanted to get the Buddhist kingdom in the palm of the Buddhist strongman.
Because the Buddha Kingdom in his palm contains the souls of hundreds of millions of living beings in the Qinghe Kingdom, including Xiaoyue's soul.
The scholar always remembered the words of the Taoist priest, as long as he found Xiaoyue's soul and was strong enough, he could bring Xiaoyue back to life.
But it is a pity that a senior monk from Wanfo Temple took action, destroyed the demon clan, and integrated the endless true spirits of Blood Buddha Temple into the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pool. It is said that there is the Western Paradise, where the souls of all living beings are.
You can find rest, and there will never be any killing, and you will always be safe and happy.
That eminent monk has been an ancient sage for a long time, and the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pond is a forbidden area of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and scholars have no way to enter it.
But the scholar has an obsession in his heart. He must find Xiaoyue's soul and resurrect Xiaoyue! Therefore, he has gone through untold hardships and hundreds of calamities, constantly growing, reaching the realm of the supreme god, and working hard bravely.
, finally attained enlightenment and became a saint!
He thought that after attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, he was finally qualified to negotiate with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, so he went to the ancestral temple of the Buddhist sect on Mount Xumi, just to seek the return of Xiaoyue's soul.
But Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was not willing to return Xiaoyue's soul at all, and even injured the scholar and expelled him from Mount Sumeru.
After so many years, the scholar still has not given up.
After many inquiries and verifications, he finally discovered the mystery of the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pool, which is actually a realm of mind. It is rumored that it is a treasure left by Amitabha, the first of the three Buddhas in ancient times, and contains a vast and boundless mind.
Realm, hidden between reality and reality, is the source of Buddhist belief.
Buddhism collects countless souls and places them in the heart world in order to gain the power of faith and even provide Buddhist disciples with the opportunity to enter the world and endure tribulations, cut off cause and effect, and transcend the mortal world.
Only those who cultivate their mental power can enter the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pool. However, scholars who have attained enlightenment and become saints have no way to re-cultivate their mind. Moreover, even if they have cultivated their mind, they cannot enter the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pool.
The scholar has been waiting for someone for so many years, waiting for someone who can take Xiaoyue home for him!"
