Chapter 358 Life is not God's psalm, but the laughter and tears of mortals.

Ando walked towards the flower shop on the roadside, gradually moving away from Sensoji Temple. At this time, the winter afternoon seemed particularly quiet. The transparent sky was filled with lotus petals after the old monk's enlightenment, as if the stars were shining.

With the breeze of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean accompanied the distance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Harbor, the flowing long hair of a girl wearing a long skirt on the street. The girl wore a light bohemian hat, leaving behind a silhouette of light and shadow in the warm afternoon sun.

Andaoyuan gently raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw the girl tidying up some of the flowers that could be placed on the wooden rack.

As Lin Xiyi wrote in "The Legend of the River" in the Song Dynasty:

Everyone knows the sound of mountains when they say that, but they see flowers and forests when they look at the stream.

He could understand that Qingyuanquan Water must like this kind of life. Only things that allow people to gain spiritual satisfaction can bring people a positive attitude.

Andao walked closer to this place. Although his steps were very light, he still caught the attention of Miss Quanshui.

Knowing that it was him, Qingyuan Quanshui did not turn around, but asked with a little joy in his words: "An Jun, what's going on today?"

"Help a new senior and bring a message to an old friend, probably that's it."

He replied gently.

Andaoyuan didn't know why Master Kōkai knew that he would come to ask Yan Yanluo for a pot, but he was not a pretentious person. If he received favors from others, he needed to repay him.

"Let me guess, that old friend shouldn't be me."

The girl in Quanshui sorted out the daffodils placed on the wooden flower stand. She was smart and smart, so she could infer the implicit meaning from Andaoyuan's words by just a few words.

———————————————————————————————————————————

Daffodils can indeed be planted outdoors in winter. Moreover, daffodils have been unique in the poet's heart since ancient times, fragrant and fresh, simple and elegant, and extraordinary.

Therefore, literati and poets listed it as the "Four Elegances" among flowers along with orchids, chrysanthemums and calamus; they also listed it as the "Four Friends" among snow along with plum blossoms, camellias and forsythias.

It only has a plate of clear water and a few pebbles placed on the windowsill on the desk, and it can show off its green and fragrant fragrance in the cold winter when all flowers are withering. It is full of spring and auspiciousness and warmth. Therefore, people in many places also use it to celebrate the New Year. At this time, Tokyo is a coincidence, so the sales of daffodils in the flower shop are also very good.

Andaoyuan nodded: "It's true that I can't hide it from you. Actually, I came here this time to bring a message to the owner."

"Are you looking for a mother-in-law?"

Qingyuan Quanshui then turned his head, and there was a hint of curiosity on his beautiful face.

Then Andaoyuan knocked on the door, walked into the house, and greeted the old man: "My grandma, I'm here this time, and I'm entrusted by someone."

When the shopkeeper heard someone talking in the distance, he pulled down some reading glasses on his face. He saw that it was Andaoyuan, and then he had a kind smile on his face: "Xiao An, you have something to tell your mother-in-law, it doesn't matter."

Andaoyuan took out a lotus flower from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper's mother-in-law. As a gentleman, he acted openly and naturally would not hide it:

"Master Kukai asked me to tell you: 'Someone comes to ask about the method of peace and mind, and bring your heart to you.'. I will not bother you anymore. Finally, maybe you can go and see the scene in Sensoji Temple in the distance."

He folded his hands and bowed. If he stayed in this situation, he would only increase his loneliness.

But in this world, too many regrets stopped in silence, so he had to complete the last section of this ring.

Master Kōkai understands, and Andoyuan also understands.

The shop owner's mother-in-law held the lotus in her hand, slowly put down the sweater in her hand, pushed open the glass door and walked out.

Seeing the distance, the golden light was like a tide, floating with light white lotus flowers.

For some reason, there were some tears in her eyes. She smiled and wiped her tears: "It's so good."

Qingyuan Quanshui saw the shop owner's mother-in-law's action and couldn't help but comfort him: "Mother-in-law, don't be sad, has the old monk asked An Jun to come and bring the message?"

"Koizumi, mother-in-law, I'm not sad." The mother-in-law smiled kindly and touched her head.

She recalled the past she had gradually found:

(That was decades ago, there was a young man who was blocked by family reasons because he was not worthy of a girl. The two were forced to separate. Later, the young man was adopted by an old monk. He traveled through the war-torn era, wearing shabby Buddhist clothes, and the young man realized that the sufferings of life are the sufferings of the times, not the sufferings of individuals.

He asked himself the old monk who was already very old: "Master, the people are suffering. If the Buddha does not save the world, who will come to save?"

‘Little sea, Buddha will not save people, I will save you, you will save it.’

When the master died, he smiled and gave him the last steamed bun in his arms. From then on, there was a missing boy and a little monk in this world.

The girl later learned about this, but the two missed more than ten years because of the underdeveloped information. Then more than ten years turned into decades and now.)

Andaoyuan, who looked at this scene from afar, thought that time will eventually take care of the warmth of the years, so naturally there is no need to say much.

As it is written in Wuthering Heights:

(Ilingeredroundthehatbenignsky:,.

I lingered in front of these three tombstones under the gentle sky! Looking at the night butterflies flying among the heathers and orchids, and listening to the soft wind blowing among the grass, I thought, who would have imagined that under the calm land, those who sleep might be able to continue to sleep peacefully.)

He was walking on the road, holding a daffodil that he had just bought from the Spring Girl.

No reason.

Perhaps it is just because of the poems written by Mr. Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty in the article "Darcustard":

"The rhyme is gone and the fragrance is gone, the flowers are clear and the moon is not clear, the celestial beings cannot go to the earth, and we are named after the water."

————————————————————————————————————————

The clouds in mid-winter are gradually pushed apart, and a ray of golden sunshine gradually shines on this world.

The sunshine that many people are commonplace can only make people so soft and precious in winter.

Not long after, the familiar Hyacinth Guest appeared in front of him. Andoyuan looked at the time. It was 2:37 noon. Because of lunch, he and Miss Harushi had already eaten on the commercial street of Sensoji Temple.

There is not much to do now, just putting the daffodils in the empty bottle left by Shiyin Shinya.

Then he sat in the yard, gently placed the pot wrapped in golden silk Sanskrit on the table in the courtyard, and opened a book and read it calmly.

But I didn't care what impact would this miracle appear in Sensoji Temple have.

Perhaps the next thing that should be troubled is Tokyo Metropolitan Special Affairs Department, or the Night Watcher. What is happening in this world has gradually appeared in the sight of human civilization, but it has not yet reached the node that changes the world.

Just like it was not until the Ediacaran fauna Sprigg was first discovered in the Pond sandstone strata in the Ediacara region in southern central Australia in 1947. It really gave humans a sense of the Cambrian period.

That was the first time that ancient life advanced, but it was not recognized until the 20th century of human civilization.

There was no mass extinction incident in the end of the Precambrian period, and the global violent carbon cycle abnormal environmental incident at the beginning of the Cambrian period had no obvious relationship with the Cambrian outbreak.
