A familiar story, Tang Monk passes through the land of daughters, what will happen?
Ascetic monk vs affectionate queen
I am the king of the daughter country, and I fell in love with a monk.
He said he wanted to learn from me and could not marry me.
So I used the forty-nine days of rituals to keep him, put on my wedding clothes to show him, and leaned on his shoulders on rainy nights.
He said: "Qing'er, I love you."
I cried.
He added: "But Buddha doesn't allow it."
I asked him: "If the Buddha doesn't allow it, then do you allow it?"
He said: "I promise, but I can't."
The day he left, I stood on the tower and watched his back disappear.
He didn't look back.
I said: "If there is an afterlife."
But he doesn't know that I don't want the next life, I just want this life.
