Chapter 117: Master Liansheng, can he also marry and have children?
In the dead of night, the forest was silent and deserted, and a ray of moonlight hung down like the Milky Way.
After the moon doll gradually adapted to its own body, it tilted its head back, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and opened its mouth to inhale.
The moonlight was swallowed into its stomach like a white silk thread, and a small moon was born in its stomach, making its whole body emit a little silvery light.
Pinggong Qianye also slowly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. This method of cultivation was similar to the moon-swallowing toad's swallowing of the moon.
Was it the inspiration that Yaezakura Jingu got from the Moon-Eating Toad?
This approach is ultimately too radical.
Fortunately, the moon doll only swallowed a mouthful and did not continue to attract the moonlight.
It glanced at the surroundings, then walked to Pinggong Qianye, straightened its body, and put its hands on its hips, as if wanting Pinggong Qianye to see what it looked like now.
Faintly, Hiramiya Chiye seemed to see Jingu Yaezakura shrinking her body and fitting perfectly into the moon doll in front of her.
Proud and high-spirited is a very suitable adjective for it.
People often say that only by wearing a mask can a person truly reveal his or her true heart. Isn't the moon doll in front of us the mask of Yaezakura Jingu?
Pinggong Chiye looked carefully for a while, as if through the moon doll, he saw Jingu Yaezakura sitting on the osmanthus tree with a smile on her face and her chin slightly raised.
"Have you adapted yet?"
Pinggong Qianye stretched out his hand, and the moon doll jumped and landed on his palm. It nodded but did not speak.
"Still can't speak?"
The moon doll shook its head and turned its back slightly, as if it didn't want Pinggong Qianye to see its embarrassed look.
But it is just a tree doll woven from osmanthus branches, and you can see the forehead from the back of its head through the gaps in the weaving.
Moreover, its facial features are woven so vaguely that even if it has any expression, it cannot be fully revealed.
Hiramiya Chiye did not ask any further questions, knowing that it was Jingu Yaezakura, who was in charge of controlling the Moon Doll, who was unable to let go and let her emotions replace the Moon Doll.
"What kind of doll is that? It can move by itself?"
The mountain rabbit, who had been secretly observing, finally couldn't help but ask.
Hearing the sound, the Moon Doll raised its head and looked at the mountain rabbit on the magic frog's head. The moonlight gathered in its eyes and stared at the mountain rabbit closely.
From top to bottom, looking back and forth.
Finally, it couldn't help but speak: "This rabbit is so cute, so adorable, I really want to hold it in my arms and touch its ears!"
The voice was clear, pleasant and extremely childish, like the voice of a three or four-year-old girl who had just learned to speak.
It turns out that Jingu Yaezakura was reluctant to speak easily because she was worried about this.
How interesting.
The image of the miniature version of Jingu Yae Sakura inside the moon doll in Chiya Hiramachi's eyes seems to be more concrete.
"Oops!"
The moon doll hurriedly covered its mouth with its hands, but after a while, it released its hands.
Anyway, I will have to adapt to this situation sooner or later, so it doesn’t matter if it’s younger.
“Is this your old voice?”
Pinggong Qianye's light words made the Moon Doll dare not respond. It quickly jumped off the palm of his hand and quickly rushed to the side of the magic frog.
Obviously, what Pinggong Qianye said was right.
The mountain rabbit on the magic frog's head poked its head out and looked down at the moon doll below. The moon doll also raised its head and looked at her.
"Quack."
The magic frog, fearing that it would be affected, said hello first and then continued to rest with its eyes closed.
"Your voice sounds very small, you must be a little girl, right?"
The mountain rabbit felt that he was the king of the mountain and should show his magnanimity.
The moon doll just tilted its head back and opened and closed its mouth a few times, but no sound came out.
Then, under the mountain rabbit's puzzled gaze, the moon doll floated into the air with the help of the moonlight from the sky, higher than the mountain rabbit's ears.
This time, it looked down at the mountain rabbit below with a condescending gaze.
"..."
The mountain rabbit pursed its lips and snorted inwardly, feeling so envious. No, it was so childish.
Huhu.
The moon doll came like a gust of wind, and before the mountain rabbit could react, the moon doll pounced on her back and grabbed her pink and tender rabbit ears with both hands.
"what!"
The mountain rabbit screamed, jumped up from the magic frog, shook its head and body, but it could not get rid of the moon doll behind it.
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, come and help me pull it down!" the mountain rabbit shouted anxiously.
Xiaoqing just looked up at her, then slid down the back of the magic frog, onto the ground, and swam towards where Pinggong Qianye was.
Rather than being with two childish ghosts, she would rather stay with Master Liansheng.
Whether telling stories or reciting Buddhist scriptures, it can make her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Master, can you give me a lecture?"
Xiaoqing's emerald green snake body swam to Pinggong Qianye's feet, raised its head slightly, and spoke in a slightly timid voice.
Pinggong Qianye lowered his head slightly to glance at Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "Since you are interested in emotional matters, I will tell you how the Buddha dealt with emotional issues."
"Thank you, Master." Xiaoqing bowed from a distance.
"In fact, before Buddha became enlightened, when he was Prince Siddhartha, he had a queen named Yasodhara..." Pinggong Chiye began to tell the story between Buddha and Yasodhara in a calm tone.
In fact, many people have a misunderstanding, that is, Buddhist monks and Buddhists are emotionless and are a symbol of abstinence that is detached from worldly emotions.
In fact, this is wrong.
Buddhism does not reject emotions or love, but it emphasizes loving others with compassion and pursuing a love that transcends personal desires, which is a great love for all living beings.
Although there are not many Buddhist practitioners who can truly practice this path, the Buddha has already pointed out the way. Whether or not one can do it, the path is there.
Japan once released an animation called "Buddhist Story", which included a conversation between Buddha and Yasodhara.
Buddha: "Yasodhara, seven years ago I left this house, left you and Rahula. But it was not because I did not love you. My love for you has never changed."
"I believe that no matter how intoxicating it is, love between men and women is ultimately just obsession. If possible, Yasodhara, please give up your obsession and transform the love between you and me into love for all living things..."
Pinggong Qianye speaks slowly, and tells stories like reciting scriptures. There is a power in her voice that can calm people.
The magic frog opened its eyes, and the mountain rabbit and the moon doll stopped fighting temporarily. They all turned their eyes over and listened quietly to the story about Buddha and Yasodhara.
"Finally, under the guidance of the Buddha, Yasodhara attained the state of Arahantship."
This story is not too long. After Pinggong Qianye finished telling it, he continued, "Love, family affection, friendship... all emotions are the same. All sentient beings are born with them. If you can break your attachments, transcend emotions, and not indulge in the whirlpool of lust, then that is the true Buddhist emotion."
Xiaoqing listened very carefully, with a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.
After a long while, Xiao Qing turned to Pinggong Qianye and said, as if she understood, "Does this mean that Master Liansheng will be able to marry and have children in the future?"
"..."
Pinggong Qianye was speechless for a moment. After all he had said and used the examples of Buddha and Yasodhara as examples, how could this green snake only care about whether he could get married and have children?
"can."
Pinggong Qianye was silent for a while, but finally gave his answer.
This is not an unanswerable question.
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and when she was about to say something else, a tiger roar came from deep in the jungle.
"Ah, it's that big tiger. It actually chased us here!"
The Mountain Rabbit was the first to react. She didn't care that the Moon Doll was still pulling her rabbit ears and refused to let go. She quickly called Xiaoqing and prepared to run away.
Xiao Qing swept his tail and looked up at Pinggong Qianye, who didn't move. The magic frog didn't move either, but croaked twice, signaling the mountain rabbit not to worry.
"Little mountain rabbit, come with me. I will give you a divine position. Then your strength will increase greatly. A mere tiger demon will not be your opponent at all."
The childish voice of Yaesakura Jingu when she was a child came out from the moon doll.
"do not want!"
Yamausagi shook his head decisively to refuse.
Roar!
The roar of the tiger is gradually approaching here.
Pinggong Qianye was just about to stand up and take his Zen stick to take a look at the so-called Tiger Vanguard when an old mountain boy came out from the dense forest, supported by two younger mountain boys.
"Master Liansheng, you don't need to do it yourself. Shanwu has already set out to drive away the Tiger Vanguard. It is the mountain god of this place, and it is its duty to protect every plant and tree here."
The old mountain boy's voice was quite proud and confident.
Shanwu, this name is well chosen. It directly uses the mountain as the surname, which is suitable for the identity of a mountain boy.
Pinggong Qianye just thought this and let the young mountain god take action.
About three minutes later, a rustling sound was heard in the dense forest.
A large cloud of white fog covered the area, and then the figure of a young mountain boy walked out from the fog, holding a small brown tiger in his right hand.
"Master Liansheng..."
The young mountain boy came straight to Pinggong Qianye and bowed his head respectfully. Although he still stuttered a little when speaking, it was much better than before.
"You don't need to be so polite in the future."
Pinggong Qianye reminded and looked at the little tiger in Shantong's hand.
Is this the so-called Tiger Vanguard?
Pinggong Qianye slightly opened his Vajra Eyes and took a glance, and found that it was not that Tiger Vanguard had not yet reached adulthood, but that its demonic power was almost dispersed by the mountain boy, which caused its body to shrunk so severely.
"Hahaha, big tiger, do you still recognize King Benshan?"
The mountain rabbit jumped down from the magic frog's head, walked up to the tiger vanguard with great confidence, stretched out its little hand and grabbed its ear.
Just like the moon doll that was lying behind her and holding on to her bunny ears.
"Roar!"
The Tiger Vanguard bared his teeth, trying to regain his power, but the next second he was slapped on the head by the Mountain Rabbit. He silently put away his edge and chose to remain silent.
"Humph, you little cat, you dare to bully the king of this mountain."
Yamausagi reached out and pulled Tiger Vanguard's ear to vent his emotions, and then continued to compete with the Moon Doll behind him.
She is the king of the mountain, how could she allow a puppet like this to lie on her back and pull her ears?
The magic frog in the mountain stream had a hint of excitement in its eyes.
It knew very well what Tiger Vanguard was capable of, and that was an opponent that even Old Mountain Boy could not necessarily defeat.
However, the young mountain boy who had just received the imperial decree was able to easily subdue the Tiger Vanguard.
This undoubtedly shows that the benefits brought by the position of mountain god just conferred are absolutely terrifying!
Soon, it thought of another key point. When Master Liansheng conferred the title of mountain god, he did not define the area in detail.
In other words, the benefits of the position of mountain god that the young mountain boy can enjoy are not limited to the nearby mountains and forests.
This is not the mountain god who guards the mountains and forests, but the real mountain god who controls all the mountains and valleys!
The magic frog's eyes widened, and for a moment it also wanted Master Liansheng to confer a divine title on him.
"Master Liansheng, I have arranged all the funeral arrangements. We can start now."
The old mountain boy asked the two young mountain boys to let him go. He gathered all the demonic power in his body, supported his body, and walked in front of Pinggong Qianye.
Just like the young mountain boy who accepted the imperial decree before, he knelt down and bowed his head.
