The Six Causes

  The Six Causes

  After all, children are children, and they don't have a regular habit. A few days later, no one came here again. Except for that little girl with two braids.

  Every time she comes, she brings a string of candied hawthorns because she says they were made by her mother's own hands and have lots of sugar in them.

  And every time, the reincarnated child would devour it all in front of her, mouthful by mouthful.

  The little girl's name is Xiaolan, this is the name that will be hers for all eternity, and the reincarnated child will never forget.

  This afternoon, after seeing Xiao Lan off, the Wheel of Rebirth boy and the stray sat back by the window to admire the view.

  "Scattered person, your days are also coming soon."

  "Yes, Master, I can no longer serve you."

  "It's nothing, I've seen too many births, old age, illnesses and deaths. Are you worried that I'm telling you your time of death so soon?"

  At this time he suddenly knelt down:

  "Master, I wish to serve you for the rest of your life and not be reborn as a human being. I hope Master will fulfill my wish."

  "It's not easy to live forever, jumping out of the three realms and not being in the five elements. It seems like a carefree life, but what's the point of an eternally repetitive life? People seek longevity, but those who have lived long advise people that there is no secret to longevity, so why be so anxious about it? You don't know how much I envy you for being able to enter the cycle of rebirth and forget all the suffering from your past lives."

  "Master, I understand now."

  "By the way, do you know that inside the Jade Spring Temple there is an ancient cypress tree with a unique structure. Every time a bird lands on it, the tree's texture changes into the shape of the bird. Over time, the patterns on the tree are as numerous as the birds that have landed on it, and the birds seem to be as beautiful as the patterns on the tree."

  "The disciple knew that every time he saw it, he would be amazed, but did not know why."

  "In fact, the ancient cypress has a treasure hidden inside, which is the essence of its hundred-year cultivation, called 'bird pattern'. That's why having it will lead to such strange phenomena. It's not bad as a rare sight."

  "If it's just a transformation into a bird shape, then this 'bird pattern' is of no great use."

  "You don't know, the essence of ancient cypress is born, if it is ????????"

  The reincarnated child stopped talking, and the wanderer seemed to understand his meaning. He came to another window and looked out, where a monk-like figure was running swiftly on the mountain path, who should be the monk of Yuquan Temple.

  "Alas! Trouble comes from the mouth, it seems you and I will not have peace again."

  That night, Lunhui Tongzi didn't sleep and was still drinking fragrant tea by the window. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

  "Why do you always talk so much?"

  A voice sounded behind him, he turned around and saw an old man in a green robe standing there.

  "Please sit down and try some of the tea I've brewed."

  "A careless person finds no flavor in anything."

  "I was just careless and didn't know someone would be eavesdropping."

  "Don't you have eyes that can see through reincarnation? Can't you see all of this?"

  "A hundred secrets are revealed in a single leak; the speaker is careless, but the listener is attentive. It can only be blamed on the monks of Yuquan Temple for being unclean."

  "What a wonderful phrase, the listener has intention, my hundred years of dao practice will be ruined in one morning. Now I'm going to report to the Jade Emperor and let him judge what's right or wrong."

  After finishing speaking, the old man turned into a wisp of green smoke and rose straight up into the clouds.

  A passerby walked over and asked:

  "Master, isn't he that old cypress tree? The words we spoke during the day were overheard by that monk. At night, 'Bird's Mark' was stolen, and now he's shifting the blame to you?"

  The young monk lowered his head and remained silent, he had long known that this calamity was unavoidable, it seemed that this peaceful life would also be broken from now on. He had originally wanted to quietly avoid the world and cultivate himself, but things were difficult to escape, not provoking others, yet there were those who came to provoke him, the entanglements of ten lifetimes were always so complicated, he now only thought of Xiaolan, and casually wrote down a sentence: When it's time to part, we must part, when it's time to meet, we must meet, the affinities of this world should be let go. The love of one life is the debt of a hundred lifetimes, the hatred of this life is the mistake of the previous life. What's the use of being resentful?
