145 Chapter 145
In front of me is a wide mountain platform halfway up the mountain. The place where the bluestone road slabs slowly extend past is the misty Hongye Temple. I faintly see the crimson maple leaves, like clusters of burning flames. Under the shade of such "firelight", the vermilion temple door is wide open, and the Sanskrit sound comes with a solemn rhythm. The air is filled with the smell of sandalwood, which has a sense of silence and tranquility.
It is very quiet and cold, but it is a place to cleanse the soul.
Huang Tianba took me slowly over. At this time, the monks in the temple were doing morning classes. Only Buddhas who were worshipped and worshipped by the world were left in the lobby. There were rows of yakshas, rows of Vajras on both sides, and countless oil lamps were flashing and swaying, illuminating the hideous anger, looking down at the countless beings.
Huang Tianba walked over slowly, lifted his front collar, and knelt on the cushion.
I knew that he must be thinking about something, or why he had been contradicting why.
Without saying anything, I walked over, knelt beside him, and bowed deeply toward the Buddha.
Just then, I heard him say, "Qingying."
"Um?"
"If I let you go back, can you stop this?"
“…”
I turned my head and looked at him silently.
After hearing what he said just now, I also knew that he must have wanted to stop what might happen here in two days, and was not surprised that he would want to let me go. I was just worried-
"Then, I'm leaving, what should you do?"
"You don't have to worry about me, I have a way to solve it, I'm worried about you."
"Worry about me? What are you worried about me?"
Huang Tianba turned his head and looked at me solemnly: "Are you willing to go back?"
I was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled: "What did you say? I was also hijacked. You want to let me go, of course I--"
"Yes, logically speaking, you should of course want to go back, but - why do you have no intention of leaving these days?" Huang Tianba looked into my eyes: "Until just now, you have never had a little thought of going back."
"..." When I was seen by those smart eyes, it seemed that even my soul was about to see through. I felt a little confused and lowered my head.
He looked at me silently for a while, sighed, and said, "I know, although you little woman, although she looks weak, she is a soft knife. It is not so easy to really make you agree with it from the bottom of your heart."
"Master Huang..."
"I dare not say that what I did today must be right, but I decided to do it, Qingying, I said this, I hope you can see your heart clearly."
“…”
"I'll let you choose."
After saying that, he stood up. At this time, a little novice monk walked into the passage behind the Buddha statue. When he saw him, he immediately laughed, as if he was familiar with him, and walked over to salute, "Tan Yue."
"Are you finished your morning class?"
"Well, when will Tan Yue come?"
"Just come for a while," Huang Tianba reached out and touched the little novice monk's bald head, as if he was stroking his own child, and said with a smile: "Take me to find the abbot. Today, I want to listen to him preach the Lankavatara Sutra."
"Yes, please Tan Yue."
The little novice monk led him to the back hall. Huang Tianba looked back at me, and silently nodded, then walked away.
