Monk Jingyuan sat down again.

The last time was atonement for him who knew his sins were profound.

After he sat in the transformation this time, I saw the phantom of the Bodhisattva appearing behind him, compassion for the heavens and tears to save all living beings.

There are thousands of causes and effects in the past, and one thought can be used to save it.

This is undoubtedly the best result for Monk Jingyuan.

But the great dream that Monk Jingyuan gave me was a method of spring and autumn. What does the back bound by the chain mean and what I couldn't understand, but I could feel that the back had an indescribable relationship with me. What does it mean, and what does it mean when there is no self, no human, no sentient beings mean? I waited for me to consider it slowly.

Liu Qingshan silently picked up the broken arm silences of the horse god on the ground. Because it was too fragmentary, we tried our best to piece together a rough look. Finally, we lit a fire on the ground and piled up the broken arm silences together to cremate.

"Brother Liu, don't be too sad." I said.

"Not sad, to be honest, Brother Lin, I want to thank you for helping Lao Ma." Liu Qingshan sat by the fire and lit a cigarette, and then said, "I know that many people, including Brother Lin, have looked down on Lao Ma very much. They think that although he has a lot of skills, he is also contaminated with the smell of money. People who practice Taoism should be concerned about the people of the world. They are so addicted to the world and are waiting for the price to sell everything they do, it does not match the heart of Taoism. However, Brother Lin, sometimes, when looking at a person, you cannot just look at the surface. If you can be happy and healthy in this life, who is willing to be displaced? When the Supreme View was over, Lao Ma watched his brothers and master die in front of him with his own eyes.

But he was helpless. He escaped a disaster by drilling into a dog hole, and then picked up manure for seven years before he survived. At that time, Lao Ma felt that his life's Tao had been in vain. After that, he survived, Lao Ma seemed to be for money, but in fact, it was for one way. He abandoned the Tao of the first half of his life and went to another completely opposite Tao. I also talked to Lao Ma many times about this and asked him what he found in the Tao of the rest of his life. He told me that he was getting more and more unclear about himself. From the true man Ma to Mr. Ma, and then to the immortal Ma, it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the immortal, but in fact it was getting farther and farther away. I asked Lao Ma why he didn't look back if that was the case? Brother Lin, do you know what Lao Ma said?"

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"He told me that he was afraid. If the Tao in the first half of his life was right, why did he almost die, and the person he was closest to and loved the most died in front of him but he was powerless? If the Tao in the second half of his life was wrong, why did everyone respect it? Instead, he went from a rat crossing the street to a respected god of horses? Brother Lin, if you are an old horse, can you find the right path?" Liu Qingshan said with a wry smile.

Liu Qingshan's words made me fall into deep thoughts.

Who is right and who is wrong?

"How many people in this world live the most annoying thing they have, why is this?" Liu Qingshan said.

"Brother Liu..." I stopped him and said.

He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just talking a few words after losing my best friend. The reason why I said so much is not to justify Lao Ma's reputation. Lao Ma, who is most afraid of death, chose to die now, which means that he has finally found his own way. I should be happy for him. Brother Lin, do you know why Lao Ma's method is called Yibu Qingtian?"

I closed my eyes and remembered that Zhenren Ma carried the ghost ship step by step and walked towards the ghost gate. I remembered the smile when his remaining head was left. At that moment, I suddenly understood a lot.

"It is difficult to walk, it is more difficult than climbing to the blue sky. Only after climbing to the blue sky knows that I am not me, so I give up on me." I said.

Liu Qingtian looked at the gradually extinguished flame and said, "Old Ma, did you hear it? I have said that Brother Lin has a talent and intelligence."

"I will keep the promise I gave to him that day by handing over to me later." I said.

Liu Qingshan shook his head and said, "No, Lao Ma said that among his many titles, his favorite word "Ma Zhenren" is the word "Ma Zhenren". Just put his ashes in the Supreme View and let him go as Ma Zhenren. Go wherever he comes from. This is his final choice of destination. Are you right? "

I nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu this time."

"I should thank you." Liu Qingshan said.

——Everything was settled. Principal Wang cleaned the tragedy on the ground overnight, and found someone to surround the fountain and rebuilt the day. The next day after the students returned to school, they looked at the laughter and joy of the students and filled their youth. No one knew what they had experienced in front of the school complex building last night. The ashes of the immortal Ma were placed in the Supreme Temple. They were not placed in the shrine to enjoy incense and worship, but in an inconspicuous corner. Only the three words Ma Zhenren were written on the urn.

Li Xue's body also returned to normal. After experiencing this hardship, the relationship between us became even more difficult for me to make a choice. I understood her feelings, and she also understood my feelings. It was precisely because of this that I felt helpless and anxious, and even had no control. In the absence of help, I could only avoid her and try not to have too much contact with her.

There are some things I can't say to Li Xue.

Between me and Li Xue, all the visible and intangible barriers are not considered barriers. I am not afraid of her outstanding family affairs. I don’t care about the age gap, nor do I care about the secular vision.

The invisible and intangible twenty-three-year-old life and death disaster, and the secrets I carried, although it seems far away, I actually know that it is right beside me and I have nowhere to avoid it.

I won't be the second Wu Yaozu.

But I really can't afford her a future.

——Three days later, Liu Qingshan came to the school and found me. After three days, Liu Qingshan was already full of blood. After seeing me, he immediately said, "Damn, I'm just going to teach you. I always think that Lao Ma's way is a good thing for him. I almost forgot a big thing. If Lao Ma is buried in a coffin now, he will probably be so angry that the coffin board will not be suppressed."

"Is it the clay figure that is mixed with cinnabar and black dog blood among those clay figures?" I asked.

In the past two days, I always felt that I had forgotten what major matters to deal with. The main reason was that the horse god left too tragic. We all forgot the reason why the horse god died. If it weren't for the black blood and cinnabar, then the hundred ghosts would not fail to send filial piety. We could have sent the mother and son away without any damage.

"That's right? That person can't do this to make Lao Ma successful. Instead, we have to burn high incense for him to thank him." Liu Qingshan said.

"How is it, have you found something?" I asked.

"It's really not. After Lao Ma became famous, he re-edited the Supreme View. The Taoist priests who have been in the Supreme View over the years have received many favors from Lao Ma. Although Lao Ma has nothing to do with the Supreme View, it was the territory of Lao Ma back then. The good men and women of Lao Ma gave incense to the Supreme View many times, so the little Taoist priests respected Lao Ma quite a lot. This time I want to do a ritual for hundreds of ghosts to send filial piety, and I look for the clay man that the little Taoist priests there helped to help pinch it." Liu Qingshan said.

"Brother Liu, I know this. Have you found out which Taoist priest did it? Why did you do it like this?" I asked.

"I really don't have this. I went to ask those little Taoists, but none of them admitted it. They knew that Lao Ma was dead and cried, and they didn't look like they were pretending. So I was fucking strange. Who did this? Why did it like that?" Liu Qingshan said.

"Do you believe in those Taoist priests?" I asked.

"It's probably true." Liu Qingshan said.

"What we can be sure now is that the person who does this must be a member of the Xuanmen, otherwise it would be impossible to understand those things. I thought it would be the little Taoist priest of the Supreme View who made trouble. Since Brother Liu, you believe them, then we will rule out their suspicion for the time being, but who else will there be besides them? And who is this incident for? You, Zhenren Ma, me, or the school?" I said puzzledly.

"I can't figure it out, so I've been planning to live in the Supreme View recently. I must find out this matter. Since it's a fox, I'll sooner or later have the fox's tail leaked. By the way, brothers Lin, what about brothers and sisters?" Liu Qingshan said.

"Don't mention Brother Liu, I really don't know what to do about this matter. You know, my life experience is quite complicated, so I'm very worried." I said.

"You are just obsessed with the appearance." Liu Qingshan looked at me and said.
