22. The lotus mirror reflects the world, and a single thought fixes the floating world.
Gu Baifei took my hand and walked to the Lotus Heart Mirror in the center of the Lotus Heart Hall. The mirror surface was like a pool of frozen clear water in a lotus pond, so clear that the veins deep in the soul could be seen.This lotus heart mirror is a treasure that accompanies the formation of the Holy Land of Pure Lotus. It can not only reflect the past, but also give a glimpse of the cause and effect of the bond between living beings in the three realms and the lotus pond.
As soon as my fingertips touched the mirror, a circle of ripples appeared in the mirror, and the screen suddenly jumped to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Liancheng.There lived an old woman with white hair in the house, muttering to herself to a small green lotus statue on the table. The appearance of the small statue was exactly the same as when I first took form.The old woman’s skinny fingers brushed the body of the statue, and tears fell from her muddy eyes: “If the fairy in the lotus pond hadn’t given me half a lotus seed, my sickly body would never have been able to support my children and grandchildren…”
The mirror light turned again and arrived at Lianxinzhai of Nianxia’s lineage.A newly enlightened child was holding an ancient book to read, and he repeatedly traced the word “Lotus” on the page. The gentleman next to him, Su Yan’s fifth-generation grandson, was pointing to the lotus pond outside the window, and softly told the story of the two sisters protecting the pond hundreds of millions of years ago, and the ancestors and Gu Zuzu fighting against evil spirits. The child’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised the brush and said: “I also want to learn from my ancestors and protect the lotus pond!”
Gu Baifei’s palm rested on the back of my hand, and the mirror light paused, focusing on the medicine garden of the descendant of the spiritual doctor.Several young doctors were mixing the Holy Lotus Water into a medicinal soup and distributing it to the people who came to seek medicine. After a woodcutter with a serious illness drank the medicinal soup, his face quickly turned rosy and he immediately knelt down to thank him. The aura above the medicine garden became a little richer because of this kind thought.
“The fate of all living beings is tied to this lotus pond.” I sighed softly, retracted my fingertips, and the picture on the mirror slowly…
I leaned on his shoulder and looked at the children playing beside the spiritual stream outside the hall and the tribesmen working hard in the fields. The lingering fragrance of lotus and spiritual grass lingered on the tip of my nose, and a layer of warmth filled my eyes.
“Yes, I did it.” My fingertips caressed the Double Veins Concentric Jue on my wrist, and the blue lines on the jade bracelet were slowly flowing with my thoughts. “A hundred million years ago, when I was hiding under the lotus leaves and trembling with fear, I never thought that one day, there would be such a world – with the roots of the lotus pond and the warmth of the common people.”
Gu Baifei reached out and tucked the scattered hair behind my temples behind my ears. When his fingertips brushed against my cheek, he felt a familiar warmth. He raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the holy realm, where among the rolling clouds and mist, a newly formed lotus platform could be faintly seen glowing: “More than that, this Qinglian holy realm is still growing. The twin veins of spiritual charm are constantly flowing in. In another thousand years, it will be able to form a world of its own, protecting the people here from eternal stability.”
Before he finished speaking, a clear child’s voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Several dolls with horns ran over holding freshly folded green bamboos. The leader was the little daughter of Si Yi’s great-great-grandson. She raised the bamboo dragonfly in her hand and said crisply: “Zuzu! Gu Zuzu! We made bamboo dragonflies from the holy bamboos, and they can fly higher than the lotus platform!”
With a smile in his eyes, Gu Baifei stood up and bent down to catch the bamboo dragonfly handed over by the child. A wisp of very light spiritual energy condensed on his fingertips and poured into it. With a slight movement, the bamboo dragonfly dragged a green light and flew leisurely high into the sky of the Holy Land, causing the children to cheer and chase after it.
I watched the green light disappear into the clouds and mist, and suddenly I noticed that the lotus-patterned jade hairpin on my bun also lit up. The green light of the hairpin echoed with the jade bracelet on my wrist. The light and shadow scroll of the memory crystallized in the palace flipped, revealing a scene hundreds of millions of years ago. At that time, I had just transformed, squatting by the lotus pond, and whispered a wish to Gu Baifei, whom I met for the first time: “I want to have a home that can protect the lotus pond and take in homeless people.”
Gu Baifei walked back to me, followed my gaze towards the light and shadow, stretched out his hand to hold me in his arms, rested his chin on the top of my hair, and said in a low and gentle voice: “I have kept your wish for hundreds of millions of years, and I will continue to keep it until every ray of wind and every lotus in this holy land remembers our bond.”
The evening breeze passed through the hall, picked up the lotus petals falling outside the hall, and fell on the back of our holding hands.The stars in the Holy Land lit up early, and the blue and blue auras weaved into the stars in the night sky. The spiritual stream gurgled, the lotus fragrance pulsed, the laughter of the people intertwined with the play of children, flowing over the jade steps of the Lotus Heart Palace, and over hundreds of millions of years, creating the longest perfection in this fairyland that belongs to us alone.
