Chapter 93
Mengtong was still a little nervous, even though this was not the first time he had approached here.
There is no lotus pond.
Mengtong looked up at the shimmering plaque.
There is only a lotus pond behind the door, and Mengtong is just an insignificant boy in the Buddhist world. Because he smashed the lotus cup, he was reduced from a boy who served the lamp in front of the Buddha to a boy who swept the floor.
Then he was assigned to the Jingwu Lotus Pond.
The Forbidden Land of the Western Paradise.
But from time to time, great venerables came, and there were also golden lights of Sanskrit sounds among them.
Mengtong didn't know at first, but later he was warned by the venerable for moving the dead leaves in the pool, and another boy who was with him told him the whole story.
Mengtong was a little dazed, is the famous Chiruo Venerable really imprisoned in this pool?
There were footsteps outside the door, Mengtong quickly turned his head and lowered his head, slowly sweeping the non-existent dust by the pool.
Da Kasyapa came in, Mengtong clasped his hands together and bowed, bowed and retreated, he knew that the ceremony which was once every few days was about to start again.
He returned to his residence and concentrated on studying the scriptures, hoping to gain some enlightenment and improve his realm.
The ceremony lasted for several days, and he only had to clean it after a few days.
Mengtong walked into the lotus pond again, but saw a person inside, with a tall body, looking down at the withered or luxuriant but not very dense lotus in the pond.
Compared with the never withered and withered lotus in the big lotus pond outside, it is indeed much shabby compared to the lotus that stretches to the sky and the moon.
He was about to retreat without disturbing him, but he saw that the man had turned around and found out, so he had no choice but to put his palms together, "My lord."
"I know you, you often come to clean this place," the man said softly, "Thank you."
Meng Tong was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this person could be...
"Little Monk Chiruo," Chiruo seemed a little confused why the boy in front of him was surprised, Chiruo tilted his head, "Don't call me Venerable, Chiruo is fine."
"You, you, what are you..." Mengtong pointed to the lotus pond in surprise, and then pointed to the person in front of him.
"I woke up, so I came out naturally." Chi Ruo patiently explained.
Mengtong thought it made sense, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye again, feeling that the Chiruo in front of him was different from the Chiruo in the legend.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, it just feels different."
"What's the difference?"
Mengtong swallowed, "It's different from what I heard."
"You tell me to listen?"
Mengtong looked at him, "They said that you were demoted by the Buddha to explore the cause and effect, but you fell in love with a mortal, and you released a very powerful force to fight against Xitian."
Chi Ruo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again.
Mengtong quickly waved his hand, "I know it's fake now!"
"How to say?"
"They said you have a bit of cinnabar between your brows," Meng Tong murmured, "but now you don't have any, so you can't believe the rumors."
"You are very savvy," Chi Ruo bent down, looking at the little boy's face flushed with embarrassment, "but there is one thing in it that is true."
Mengtong looked at him.
"I did fall in love with a mortal."
The little boy was so startled that the broom fell to the ground, Chi Ruo smiled and straightened up, "You look like my son, very cute."
"You, you still have, son?!" There was no such thing in the rumors, Mengtong looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Chi Ruo nodded, "Don't you believe me?"
Meng Tong shook his head in a daze.
Chiruo pointed to his eyebrows again, "I used to have a little cinnabar between my eyebrows, but I gave it to that person, and naturally it disappeared."
that person?
Mengtong didn't realize until Chiruo's figure disappeared from sight, it was naturally the mortal who fell in love with him.
If the rumors are true, that bit of cinnabar is a rare Buddha heart in heaven and earth!
Mengtong swept the floor sullenly. If he told the children who were traveling with him, would they believe it?
Later, every time Mengtong went there, he would see Chiruo standing by the pool, quietly looking at the lotus in the pool.
"What's there to see?" He also asked, "It's all dry."
The Jingwu Lotus Pond does not have mana blessings. Although the naturally growing lotus flowers will grow longer in the Western Paradise, they will eventually wither.
Chi Ruo didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "There is no flower that lasts forever in the world."
Mengtong knew that he was missing the mortal world, thinking about that mortal and his son.
Chi Ruo would occasionally talk to him about things in the mortal world, but he himself said, "Actually, I have been running with him since I came down to the mortal world. Speaking of which, I rarely see strange people and strange things, and most of them are told to me by him. "
But with such a little story, Mengtong is also very satisfied.
He came more and more frequently, sometimes he would see Chiruo, sometimes not.
He often feels that he wants to leave here, but how to leave?
This place was obviously created to imprison him.
But seeing him trapped here, Mengtong felt sad in his heart.
So one day, he discovered Chiruo's secret. After a battle between heaven and man, he didn't tell anyone, in fact, he didn't even tell anyone that he saw Chiruo.
Although it looks like Chi Ruo doesn't care if he keeps a secret.
Finally one day, when he came to sweep the floor, Chi Ruo was looking at him with a smile, as if waiting for him.
"Your Honor?"
Chi Ruo smiled and said: "I'm going to find them, these days, thank you for taking care of me."
Meng Tong thought in his heart that this day has finally come, but his face was calm, "No, no."
For many days after that, he came to sweep the floor, but he never saw Chi Ruo again. He thought maybe he had already left, but there was no movement at all, and it seemed that he hadn't left yet.
Until one day, he was sweeping the floor as usual, when he heard a loud noise from outside.
Mengtong dragged the broom and ran out.
There were many people standing outside the big lotus pond, Mengtong ran over, and saw Chi Ruo, who had just said with a smile and said that he was going to leave, and Da Kasyapa and his venerables were facing each other above the lotus pond.
"Chi Ruo, you don't know what is good or bad!" Meng Tong had never seen Da Kasyapa so angry.
Chi Ruo was always very quiet, as if he was bound to win his own departure.
How could he beat so many great venerables by himself, Mengtong gripped the broomstick tightly and sweated secretly.
In his heart, he had indeed unconsciously leaned toward Chiruo, after all, all the venerables, big and small, had been to Jingwu Lotus Pond, but only Chiruo had spoken to him.
Da Kasyapa's swiftness of attack is beyond the reach of children like Mengtong. Of course, Chiruo did not avoid it, and suffered this blow every day.
Mengtong almost exclaimed.
Someone beside him began to discuss, "This Chiruo is too bold, Xi Tian has favored him, yet he is still so stubborn!"
"Yeah, yeah, let me tell you, don't save him in the first place!"
"To be saved, there are no spirit bodies in the God Realm right now, but there are in the Western Paradise!"
"What's the use? This spirit body and mind are no longer focused on cultivating Buddha!"
"It's fine, how can you fall in love with a mortal?"
"Understood!"
"It's a heinous crime to release the power of returning to the ruins to fight against us!"
"Yes!" A group of children agreed with the same hatred.
Mengtong frowned, and wanted to turn around and shout at them, "That's not the case!"
But in the end, he just clenched the broom tightly and stared at the thin figure above the lotus pond.
He believed that the fact must not be like this, since that person said no, then it must be not!
The man remained silent all the time, but when Da Kassapa was about to strike again, he suddenly moved slightly.
Mengtong felt the vibration under his feet, as if something wanted to break out of the shell, the vibration became stronger and stronger, and the other children also felt it, and everyone fell into a panic for a while.
Da Kassapa also felt an unusual aura, but before he could speak, he heard the venerable exclamation behind him.
The lotus leaves behind them grew like crazy, and soon covered the sky and covered them in the shadow.
Soon, the surface of the lotus pond shimmered a little
Chiruo clasped his hands together and changed his handprints, these faint lights suddenly gathered together, and a huge ball of light rushed towards Da Kassapa.
"You actually stole the power of the lotus pond!"
Da Kassapa only had time to say such a sentence, and he had to shut up. The wildly growing lotus leaves blocked their retreat, and he could only carry it down with several venerables.
The West Heaven Lotus Pond has never declined, and the mana deposited in it is so huge that none of them can imagine.
Da Kasyapa received several blows in a row and was about to be overwhelmed, while Chiruo was still drawing a steady stream of strength from the lotus pond.
"You imprisoned me at the bottom of the lotus pond, so you should be prepared for this." Chi Ruo said lightly.
Kasyapa scattered the light balls that kept coming, and scolded: "You have been with that mortal for a long time, and you are proud of being shameless!"
If you don't answer the imperial edict, it's just that the light sphere is getting denser.
The vibration became more and more violent, and Meng Tong could barely stand on his broom, feeling bad, he hurriedly shouted: "The lotus pond can't hold it anymore, get out of here!"
Some children followed him and left, but more people still stayed there, wanting to see the glamor of this battle, so that they can be used for conversation in the future, and they can also raise their own social status.
Da Kassapa had a bad heart, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
The rest of the people didn't move much.
It's just that the ball of light is too dense, those people can hardly see the figure in the center of the lotus pond clearly.
No one knew how the lotus pond exploded. Da Kasyapa and those venerables were seriously injured, and the children who watched the battle were killed or injured.
The water in the lotus pond was mixed with blood, spread out, and soon flooded the surrounding area.
Chi Ruo was still watching quietly, those wildly growing flowers and leaves shrank and withered rapidly as if they had been punctured.
Chiruo walked up to Da Kasyapa, "I remember that you also came from the world."
Da Kassapa looked at him bitterly.
Chi Ruo lowered his eyes and said softly: "Do you still remember what the lotus in the world looks like?"
Without asking for a response, he turned and left.
"Your Majesty!" A loud voice came out.
The Sanskrit sound is sung, and the water in the lotus pond is collected.
Da Kassapa knelt down with difficulty, tears filled his eyes, "Buddha!"
Chi Ruo stood still, "If you knew that such a day would come, you wouldn't have let me go down to earth."
A deep voice came from behind Jin Guang, "No, I knew there would be such a day, so I let you go down to earth."
Chi Ruo smiled, "Let me go, he won't be forced by me, he will be used by you, why force him?"
He said in one word the abacus of the Buddhist world, which has both the spirit body and the power of returning to ruins in Hua Ziyao's body.
"Your Majesty Chiruo, do you know the reason why I planted this piece of lotus in the first place?" asked the voice behind Jin Guang.
"It's definitely not for viewing."
After the golden light came a chuckle, "That's it."
Da Kasyapa and the others were dumbfounded.
"Later, the reason became more and more complicated," Buddha said, "Now that you break the lotus pond, it has fulfilled my original intention."
"Let's go!"
After a long time, Jin Guangli's voice suddenly let out a long sigh.
If Chi Ruo opened his eyes wide, he turned around and was about to leave, fearing that he would go back on his word.
"Chiruo," the Buddha stopped him again, "I don't intend to stir up dust, and you don't want to be stubborn or angry."
Chi Ruo paused, turned around, and fell to the ground, "Thank you Buddha!"
