Sun Tong was in extreme pain and depression. A tall man of 1.9 meters squatted on the ground, holding his head and saying nothing. This look frightened the two young ladies, Chen Zhan and Chen Xue.
"Dad, what's wrong with godfather?" Chen Zhan stretched out his little hand and pulled Chen Meng's sleeve and asked.
Chen Meng shook his head without saying anything, and signaled his precious daughter to take Chen Zhan out. Only himself and Sun Tong were left in the yard, and then he sat down next to Sun Tong.
?? Flipping his palm, he took out a delicate box about ten centimeters long from the space ring. The box was engraved with a picture of a naked lady, which was very fragrant. As for the material of the box, it is also extremely precious. It is neither gold nor jade, but it exudes a special luster, like a work of art.
"Bang!" Chen Meng triggered a small mechanism, and the lid of the box popped open, revealing a row of ten cigarettes inside. This was something Chen Meng asked Meng Yue to tinker with. That little girl was really a genius. Her IQ and hands-on ability were astonishingly high, and she helped Chen Meng a lot.
He picked up a stick of Xiangyan and held it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath. It felt so damn good. "No! Light it yourself." Chen Meng threw one to Sun Tong.
"Have you figured out this thing yet?" Sun Tong smiled bitterly, took it, lit it, and took a sip. Unexpectedly, he choked on it and kept coughing.
"Haha, I remember when we were studying together, you were an old smoker and smoked a pack of cigarettes every day. You just traveled to this mysterious world, and the days without cigarettes made you scratch your head. What's wrong? It's only been a few years. , can you choke even if you smoke a cigarette now? You have changed, Old Sun." Chen Meng said calmly while smoking.
"Nonsense! Don't even think I haven't smoked for a few years. People will always change!" Sun Tong scolded.
Chen Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying this feeling very much. Only when Sun Tong was in a bad mood would he be more relaxed in front of him, would he call himself "I", and would he not deliberately pay attention to some "hierarchy respecters". "Humble", he would not regard himself as the lord of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, everyone is changing, not only Qian Feng, but also Sun Tong, who has become cautious in front of his elder brother.
After Sun Tong said this, he also fell into silence and did not speak.
Maybe in everyone¡¯s life, they are destined to know many friends, and they are also destined to have many friends leave, get together and separate, that¡¯s how it is.
It¡¯s like the cigarettes in your hands are just a matter of habit. Friendship, brotherhood, isn't that true? It's just a familiar emotional sustenance.
The two of them stopped talking and sat there quietly for more than an hour. After smoking out all their cigarettes, Sun Tong understood something and felt better. He stood up, patted his butt and left, leaving only Chen Meng behind before leaving. Two sentences, the first one is: "This cigarette is good, but it could be a little stronger. You kid, don't eat alone. In the future, you must ensure the supply here, at least one box a day."
"You are the only cigarette I have left. I'm used to it. Don't break my habit. Do you hear me?"
Sun Tong left, Chen Meng smoked the last puff of cigarette, stood up, looked at the bright sunshine, his eyes and thoughts seemed to fly to the ninth level of the sky, and his mood suddenly became much more cheerful.
Half an hour later, Chen Meng saw Zhu Tinglan. He was still hesitating how to express Qian Feng's reaction to her. He was a little worried about Zhu Tinglan's ability to bear it, but he didn't want Zhu Tinglan to smile lightly first.
"I know what you want to say, and I know what your concerns are."
"Qian Feng is not the same Qian Feng as before, right? He didn't react at all to the news of my resurrection, right?"
"Actually, I am no longer the Zhu Tinglan I was before. Everyone is different from who they were yesterday. There is no need to dwell on yesterday. You should look towards today and tomorrow."
"The Buddha in the past was obsessed with the past, the Buddha in the present is taking pleasure in the present, and the Buddha in the future is placing his hopes in the mist. Which Buddha do you think is more meaningful?"
Zhu Tinglan¡¯s tone was gentle and calm, as if she was not talking about her own business. Chen Meng felt a little uncomfortable because of her tone.
Zhu Tinglan said nothing more. The moment she turned to leave, a tear fell from her eyes. Chen Meng opened his mouth not knowing what to say.
"When I was reborn, I gained some Buddhist inheritance. I don't want to lie to you, so I think I will escape into Buddhism" Zhu Tinglan's footsteps suddenly stopped and she turned her back to Chen Meng.
ah? Chen Meng was shocked and speechless.
"However, the purification of the six roots is just a Buddhist Zen practice method. The inheritance I received does not emphasize cutting off the world of mortals. On the contrary, I must resolve the fetters of the past in order to have any hope of attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha."
"The world of mortals is like a dream, with so much sadness and pain, but so what? JustIt is the whetstone on my path to enlightenment, that¡¯s all. One day in the future, I will reach the top. At that time, those who insult me, bully me, scold me, and laugh at me will all be just ants under me, that's all! "
"Qian Feng, the relationship between me and him is not over yet. I will face him if I have the chance, but not now." After Zhu Tinglan finished speaking, she said nothing and turned and left.
Time passed very quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. That night, the calamity cloud condensed above Chang'an City again, which was much stronger than the last time Zhu Tinglan was resurrected.
Who is this going through the tribulation? You must know that most monks in the world follow the path of their predecessors and practice one of the great ways of heaven and earth. There is no need to survive tribulations at all. Only by carving out one's own path and taking a brand new path can one go against nature and need to overcome tribulations.
The earlier a person overcomes the tribulation, the more terrifying he will be. Similarly, if someone has only overcome the tribulation at the Emperor level, then among the monks at the level of the Great Emperor, their strength can only be considered average.
Chen Meng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he used the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique to look around Chang'an City. The conclusion he got surprised him. He never expected that it was Zhu Tinglan who was going through the tribulation!
When Zhu Tinglan died in an accident, she was only over level 20. After her resurrection, all her cultivation was lost. Now, only half a month has passed, and she has actually taken the most important step, transcending the world and stepping into " The realm of "Heavenly Master"!
A warrior in the realm of Heavenly Master is nothing to the current Chen Meng, but Zhu Tinglan's terrifying speed still makes Chen Meng palpitate.
What kind of inheritance did Zhu Tinglan gain during her resurrection? Buddhism is another mysterious Buddhism! Could it be said that his entanglement with Buddhism will continue to be entangled? Unless you die, it can't be lifted?
??Is Zhu Tinglan¡¯s strange rise good or bad for Chang¡¯an City? Chen Meng suppressed the impulse in his heart and did not interfere with Zhu Tinglan's tribulation, because Chen Meng knew that Zhu Tinglan was a smart person and would definitely come to him to explain the matter clearly.
Sure enough, the next day, Zhu Tinglan appeared in Beidou Palace and appeared in front of Chen Meng.
"I know that you have also received the inheritance of Buddhism. Logically speaking, we are all from the same lineage and belong to the same sect."
"Of course, I also know that you are a hero. You can turn your hands into clouds and rain. You can be a dragon in the sky and a tiger on the ground. For you, only interests and the overall situation are the most important."
"Okay, let me tell you what I think. I want to set up a temple on the outskirts of Chang'an City, recruit nuns, teach the secrets of Buddhism, and promote Buddhism!"
"This is not against your interests. No matter how transcendent Buddhism is, it is still a human race. You can ignore worldly affairs on weekdays. If the human race is in danger and Chang'an is in trouble, I will definitely not stand by and watch."
"Furthermore, Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect. You saved me, which is the cause. As for the effect I will not let you down"
Chen Meng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Zhu Tinglan's request. Considering that when he first founded Chang'an, he used the banner of the reincarnation of the Buddha King and asked Zhu Tinglan to continue to deceive him on his behalf, so there was no big problem.
¡°What do you plan to call the temple?¡± Chen Meng asked.
Zhu Tinglan was silent and lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Chen Meng, "Qian Feng told me many stories back then. There was a story about the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty that was very attractive. There was a very powerful sect there. Cihang Jingzhai, I like this name very muchso, my temple is called Cihang Jingzhai."
Cihang Jingzhai? Used for the name of a temple? Chen Meng was a little shocked, but he didn't refute, "Then what is the name you gave yourself?"
Zhu Tinglan turned around and said, "Do you need a Dharma name? If your heart is in the world of mortals, then the Dharma name is just a joke. If I stick to my heart, I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me, so why do I need a Dharma name?"
"My name is Zhu Tinglan, there is no need to change it!"
"I don't know if there will be a day in the future when I can still bethe me from the beginning" Zhu Tinglan left, her voice still lingering in Chen Meng's ears.
After hearing Zhu Tinglan¡¯s last words, Chen Meng understood a little bit.
" Zhu Tinglan has been talking in a fog these past few days, as if she suddenly became an enlightened monk, but the last sentence shows that she has never let go of Qian Feng in her heart!
She has her own wish, that is, Qian Feng can return to her one day.
However, her heart is sensitive and she has low self-esteem. After all, she had a nightmare-like experience that made her feel like a dirty woman. Even if her body is reshaped and her body becomes clean, butthat This memory was enough to make her unable to face Qian Feng.
"Alas" Chen Meng shook his head and sighed.
Who can be calm in this mortal hell?
?Who can be indifferent to the love between a man and a woman?
Who can be indifferent to money and power?
We are all in the world of mortals, how can we truly be free from the secular world? I just hope that I can not lose my true heart, and when I die, I can still say, I am who I am.
This is enough.
