932 Beautiful (2/2)

During the process of staring at the wall, Ning Que didn't cross his legs, sit on a lotus seat, form the Emblematic Gesture or meditate. It seemed that he was just in a daze.

But in his Ocean of Consciousness, he sat on the lotus seat, formed the Emblematic Gesture, and thought of all the Buddha Dharmas he saw in Lanke Temple and learned from Master Qishan. He just didn't sit in meditation.

After a while, Sangsang returned to the dark cave. While Ning Que was staring at the wall, she went to the three main halls of the Xuankong Temple and looked around for a long time, but gained nothing.

Upon seeing that Ning Que was stunned and facing the stone wall, her eyes turned bright, but she said nothing. She just turned around and walked out of the cave again. Then she went to the Commandment Hall in the West Peak.

The West Peak had countless old trees, but no traces of Buddha. Her expression had become more and more serious. Standing on the roots of the ancient trees leaning out of the cliff, she looked at the sun in silence.

The God's Plan doesn't work, so I can't figure out the God's secret. Where should I put the God's heart?

Sangsang once again returned to the dilapidated temple and stood behind Ning Que.

Ning Que was still staring at the shadow on the stone wall.

Sangsang left again. Then she went to the East Peak which was full of strange stones. However, she still gained nothing. She stood on the stone and looked at the sun on the sky quietly.

Then she came back to the cave.

Ning Que was still facing the wall.

She left again.

The came back.

Over and over again.

Although she was Haotian, she felt a little tired and somewhat puzzled. The God's Plan doesn't work, and I can't figure out the God's secret. Why does the God's heart always fall on this guy? … Is it true that I must stick to him?

Thinking of this, Sangsang looked at the back of Ning Que and was hit by an infinite amount of hatred and irritation. She was very anxious to kill him and put him in the deepest part of the earth.

But she couldn't kill him if she ever wanted to be herself. She could only leave the cave again reluctantly and continued her search.

Ning Que didn't know that Sangsang had considered killing him. Cupping his chin with his palm, he stared at the shadow on the stone wall and his expression kept changing, from solemn and quiet to a silly smile.

One day passed. When the setting sun fell, a white flower appeared on the unknown green tree on the cliff, but it fell to the ground only after a moment after blossoming.

The white flower landed on the cliff and touched the dust, then it was raised by the breeze from the cliff as if there were a pair of invisible hands slowly lifting it up. It drifted into the dilapidated door of the temple and then into the stone wall inside the cave, finally falling on Ning Que's shoulder gently.

Ning Que took off the little white flower on his shoulder and twitched the delicate flower handle gently with his fingers. He looked at the shadow on the stone wall and said with a smile, ”It turns out that you learned Buddha Dharma here.”

All of a sudden, the fragments of consciousness that had been buried in the deepest part of his Ocean of Consciousness for many years lit up and then faded away gradually, just like a pearl's last shine before it died out.

It was twilight. The bells of the Xuankong Temple rang again, echoing in every corner of the mountain peaks.

Ning Que woke up and bowed to the shadow on the stone wall. Then he got up and walked out of the cave, looking at the sight of the Buddha land calmly standing under the green tree by the cliff.

This old temple was Lian Sheng's former residence. When Lian Sheng studied Buddha Dharma in the Xuankong Temple many years ago, he once faced the wall in the cave, leaving his shadow on the stone wall and also leaving the legend of protecting the Front Gate of Buddha's Doctrine in the human world.

In the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine, Ning Que inherited the mantle of Youngest Uncle, and also inherited everything that Lian Sheng had.

Before his death, Lian Sheng once said to Ning Que, ”You have been enchanted. If you want to repair your demon, you must first cultivate Buddha Dharma. Please bravely walk to the night. There is a chance that you might die on the road, but I give you my blessing. In the meanwhile, I'll curse you.”

Ning Que had long forgotten what Lian Sheng had said. Although he learned the Buddha Dharma from Master of Qishan in Lanke Temple, his intention was to cure Sangsang and he had never wished to master it voluntarily.

It was not until he came to Xuankong Temple and faced to the shadow on the stone wall silently for a whole day that he remembered Lian Sheng's last words and made up the missed lessons, which turned out to be very important.

Ning Que gained a lot by facing to the wall for the whole day. Although his cultivation still remained at the Knowing Destiny State, a Bodhi seed was planted in his heart, which might break through the soil, sprout and become luxuriant one day, even covering the eyes of God and Buddha.

Sangsang walked up to Ning Que in the twilight.

Ning Que said, ”It seems that you didn't find Buddha.”

Sangsang said, ”It seems that you didn't find your Second Brother either.”

Ning Que signed, ”I totally forgot to search for him.”

Sangsang asked, ”Then what were you doing?”

Ning Que answered, ”I was looking at something beautiful.”

Sangsang said indifferently, ”How could the Buddhist Psyche left by an old monk be beautiful?”

Walking in front of her, Ning Que put the small white flower in her hair and praised happily, ”Beautiful.”
