Weird Taoism: I became a god in a strange world

Chapter 968

Lin Hun walked around Baixi Temple again.

He wanted to leave.

But the abbot Duannian said:

"Master Lin has already arrived at Baixi Temple, why don't you sit in Duannian's Zen room and have some tea before leaving?"

Since we are here,

it would be a bit rude not to sit in the abbot's room.

He nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you over there."

"Master Lin, please come this way."

The two came to Duannian's Zen room.

The location is very good.

Located at the highest point of the central axis of Baixi Temple.

The Zen room was actually built on a huge natural stone.

The most eye-catching thing is.

A very thick ginkgo tree has grown in the side seam of this big stone.

This ginkgo tree is the most viable.

Look at this ginkgo tree, it is very thick and more than a dozen adults can't surround it.

The branches and leaves are spread out, and the leaves are yellow and very beautiful.

The branches covered the Zen room below like an open umbrella.

Judging from the age of the tree, it must be thousands of years old.

"What a beautiful scenery!"

"It is already the early winter season with snow falling outside, but the leaves of the ginkgo tree of Master Duannian are still golden and have not fallen yet, which is also strange."

The whole ginkgo tree is full of golden leaves.

It is reasonable to say that these ginkgo trees will turn yellow and fall leaves in late autumn.

Who knew that Master Duannian's ginkgo tree is still lush and leafy.

Those golden leaves are still on the tree.

When the wind blows.

Those leaves rustle, which is also a beautiful scene.

The Zen room of Master Duannian was built next to this huge ginkgo tree.

The materials used are all antique colors.

It is somewhat similar to the trunk of the ginkgo tree and looks very comfortable.

"Master Duannian's Zen room is really a beautiful scenery."

Lin Hun praised again.

Abbot Duan Nian made a gesture of invitation and said:

"Master Lin, you are too kind. The original name of Baixi Temple was actually 'Baiguo Temple'. It was built after this 6,000-year-old ginkgo tree."

"The Zen rooms of the abbots of all generations are next to the ginkgo tree next to the big stone. They water and maintain it daily, and practice quietly with the 6,000-year-old ginkgo tree."

"Every time I am under the ginkgo tree, I feel a sense of vicissitudes of life in dialogue with history. This ginkgo tree has seen the wind and frost and the years here, but it still survives in the world."

"But what about us? Generation after generation, we can't live more than a hundred years, just like the leaves on this ginkgo tree. Finally, when the severe cold comes, we wither and fall, and become nutrients for the ginkgo tree."

"Humans have a natural fear of death. Before the old abbot, Master Juexin, passed away, she actually had a fear of death."

Abbot Duan Nian said as he walked.

Please Lin Hun sit down at the tea table under the ginkgo tree.

A nun brought a boiling mud stove.

There was boiling water on the mud stove.

Host Duan Nian took out a bag of tea leaves and made tea for Lin Hun personally.

"Death is inevitable. It is the destiny that humans cannot escape."

Lin Hun said.

"But Master Lin, the seventeen years since you returned from Guixu Sea Eye are not noticeable."

"After you came out, you saw that everyone you knew had gone through the ravages of seventeen years, especially seeing that the little girl of the past had become what I am now. What do you feel?"

"In fact, in a sense, Master Lin actually kept her frozen age for seventeen years."

"It really makes Duan Nian very envious!"

The tea was boiling hot.

Host Duan Nian poured tea for him.

Lin Hun looked at her deeply after hearing her words.

Nothing could be seen from Host Duan Nian's eyes.

Lin Hun blew the tea.

He stroked the trunk of the ginkgo tree next to him and said:

"The fact is just the opposite."

"I returned from the Guixu Sea Eye in the East China Sea, but unexpectedly found that the head of the Ye Tianlian family, Ye Tiexuan, Ye Tiechan and others around me had grown older."

"After sealing those weird things, I learned from the head of the Ye family that the time I spent in the Guixu Sea Eye seemed to be more than ten days, but in fact, seventeen years had passed in the outside world."

"At that time, I felt extremely lost in my heart. I lost seventeen years of my life. It was as if my life was forcibly cut off by some weirdness and fast-forwarded seventeen years. The feeling cannot be described in words. "I was so overwhelmed by the emotion that I said goodbye to Lin and the others and rushed back to my home." "At that time, I just wanted to go back to my home to see my family and comfort my heart." "It was night when I came to the outside of Yudu from Xudi. I almost had an emotional breakdown on the mountain outside Yudu. The signs of alienation and collapse appeared and affected the whole mountain." "If I hadn't controlled myself in time, I'm afraid I would have made a big mistake." "So, in the past seventeen years, you have seen that my face has not changed and time has not invaded me., in fact, for me personally, I lost seventeen years of good time. ”

“What is the meaning of life? It is companionship.”

Lin Hun picked up the tea and drank it gently.

After saying the above, Lin Hun stared at the eyes of the host Duan Nian.

The host Duan Nian listened to Lin Hun's words quietly.

He also looked at him.

“So that's it. We are just a bunch of 'you are not fish'.”

“I thought that the head of the Lin family would be very happy to have saved seventeen years of time, but it turns out that you have your own concerns. "

Master Duan Nian lowered his head.

He caught the first fallen leaf from the ginkgo tree accurately.

He held it in his hand and looked at the beautiful yellow fallen leaf.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Lin Hun drank tea slowly, and he could not see any sadness or joy.

Only the wind blew the leaves of the ginkgo tree and made a "rustling" sound.

The two sat facing each other quietly.

Although they were close.

But Lin Hun clearly felt that the distance between them was like a mountain and a river.

It would never go back to the conversation he had with the innocent her twenty years ago.

At this moment, Duan Nian was already the master of Baixi Temple.

There was a sense of nobility in his every move.

It would never go back.

He drank a pot of tea until there was no tea color.

Lin Hun stood up and said:

"My purpose of coming to Baixi Temple has been achieved. I will go back now. I have things to do in the evening. "

Chaplain Duannian stood up to see him off.

They were silent all the way.

She didn't stop until they reached the gate of Baixi Temple.

"Chaplain Duannian, please go back. I'll just send you here."

Lin Hun turned around and nodded to Chaplain Duannian.

Chaplain Duannian put his hands together and said:

"Master Lin, take care."

Lin Hun then walked down the mountain halfway along the mountain road.

He turned his mouth.

He took out a leaf that had just fallen from the six thousand year old ginkgo tree.

He kept rubbing it in his hand as if he was thinking about something.

When they reached the foot of the mountain.

Lin Hun took out the warm rice cake from his arms and ate it himself.

He took out the sweet-scented osmanthus candy and stuck it on a small mound on the side of the road.

"I can never go back. "

The wind blew.

The sweet-scented osmanthus candy swayed wildly.

Abbess Duannian returned to Baixi Temple.

The door slowly closed behind her.

Duannian turned her back to the door and said to herself:

"He kept the rice cake in his arms for fear that it would get cold and never took it out. I could smell the smell of the rice cake."

"And he didn't take out the sweet-scented osmanthus candy either."

"Time has taken away too many things after all. How many people dream of the lost seventeen years he mentioned."

The wind blew.

It was cold.
