Who is not a monk

"Amitabha, the Buddha's name is just a formality. If you are sincere, you can recite it sincerely. If you don't have the heart, you can recite it casually. You can recite it, or others can recite it. It's all fine."

"Oh! You are quite generous!"

"Amitabha……"

Master Tongzhi doesn't seem to be very talkative about sex.

The Gate of All Wonders glanced at Chen Shu, Zhang Yogurt and the unknown person, thought for a while, and asked, "Has Senior Brother Tongzhi been here for a year?"

"More than a year."

"Then the war just broke out when you came, right?"

"Yes."

"How have you been doing this year?"

"Since you're here to look for it, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad..." Master Tongzhi frowned and paused, "The conditions here are certainly not as good as those in China, but it's suitable for disciples from various sects to practice here. "

"Then I will reply to Senior Brother Tongdeng like this."

"It's troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble."

The Gate of All Wonders continued to stare at Master Tongdeng, his eyes sparkling, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Brother can be said to have witnessed this war from a single spark to sweeping across half of the country, what can be gained? "

"Extremely ashamed..."

Master Tongzhi's voice was low and flat, but his brows were always subconsciously frowned, and the tiredness and bewilderment on his face were lingering. There is a ray of mind that is pulled by other things.

"The cruelty of war and the darkness of people's hearts are more complicated than I thought." Master Tongzhi said, "When I came, I wanted to help the people of Duqin, but I soon realized that I couldn't help them anyway. I even I don't know who to help. Sometimes I save a person, and soon find that he becomes a violent person, but I really know that it is not his fault. The person I saved was indeed a good person. Sometimes there are bad people He fell down in front of me, and when I looked at him, what I saw in his eyes and body made me want to reach out to him. But he clearly committed an unforgivable crime just now."

"Brother, are you confused?" The Gate of All Wonders asked tentatively.

"I was confused for a while, but I quickly figured out that people are always complicated. Good people have evil, and evil people also have good. There are countless atrocities in war, but the essence of war is the result of many evil thoughts and mistakes. Some people participated in the war, and some just Driven by the war, I went to an unknown place." Master Tongzhi said, "When I first saw a young man wantonly beating and insulting a passing [-]-year-old old man in Cujo, just because the old man had different political views from him, I was as shocked and puzzled as the old man at that time.

"Later I learned that before the war broke out, the young man was a reserved young man. The old man would pass by his grocery store in the evening. They knew each other. I calculated that if there was no scene of this war, the young man would A person will be a person with a good reputation in the neighborhood. He will marry a girl next door with a high probability and will have a few children. He will also work hard to make money to subsidize the family. He will work hard to give his children fatherly love and live a very ordinary and ordinary life. life, just like those around him or around us who are married and have children.

"It wasn't until the war came and he joined the Watchers that everything changed. He committed a crime he would regret for the rest of his life. But the more I got to know him, the harder it was for me to decide whether he was a villain or a Nice guy."

"It's the war's fault," said the Gate of Wonders.

"I think so too, but I don't know how to end this war, and I can't turn a blind eye." Master Tongzhi said.

The door of all wonders was silent.

Chen Shu beside him was also silent.

In this world, there are stubborn diseases that "everyone knows but can't do anything about", such as the evil hidden in the human heart, even the gods cannot get rid of it.But we can't persuade others to turn a blind eye to it, tell them that you are just a mortal, don't waste your time, don't worry about it, because these people are always working hard, changing it bit by bit, bit by bit. Make the world a better place.As bystanders, it is not enough for us to stand by and watch. It would be too unjustifiable to talk sarcasticly while enjoying the fruits of their efforts.

So even Zhang Yogurt next to him didn't make a sound.

The unnamed person remained silent.

"Ugh……"

The Gate of All Wonders let out a long sigh, glanced at the unknown person from the corner of his eye, and was keenly aware of the change in his heart, but he didn't have time to delve into it, because there were more important things in front of him now.

"Brother, is this the reason why you are lost in your heart?" said the Gate of All Wonders, "If you continue like this, you may become a demon. You have a bright future, so don't be trapped here."

"You can see it."

"Your sadness is written all over your face."

"..."

Master Tongzhi was silent for a long time, his eyes changed, and he struggled inwardly, but in the end he uttered two words:

"no……"

"Ok?"

"My demons started a few days ago."

"Perhaps it can be said that although I am a member of the Taoist sect, I also know a little bit about Buddhist theories, and at the same time, I also have a little understanding of the secret sect system. Maybe I can't help you get out of your demons, brother, but we have so many people. People, there is always someone who can give you some advice." Zhongmiaozhimen looked at the people around him, and he felt that Zhang Yogurt's personality has always been free and easy, carefree, and he would never be burdened by these things in his heart, while Chen Shu always gave him a kind of playfulness The mentality of the world, maybe these two people can help the inner confusion of Senior Brother Tongzhi.

"..."

Master Tongzhi was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "A few days ago, I came from Cujo, passing through a village, which has been occupied by watchmen. When I passed by, there were mercenaries from the Blue Kingdom doing reckless actions in the village... Have you ever seen the mercenaries from the blue country?"

"I haven't encountered it yet in this trip." The Gate of All Wonders said.

"I understand." Chen Shu said, "I heard that the mercenaries from the blue country are conscripts. These people signed up voluntarily, some for money, some for other things. In short, the military discipline is very chaotic."

"Yeren are already brutal, and Languo is in chaos again." After Zhang Yogurt finished speaking, she kept urging, "And then what?"

"Then...the poor monk hid in the dark, watching them being killed and tortured..."

"You didn't go up to fuck them?" Zhang Yogurt wondered.

Chen Shu realized something, pursed his lips, and said: "Most of the blue country's mercenaries are retired elite soldiers of the blue country, they are well-trained, and the blue country provides them with the most advanced equipment. Military equipment can carry out targeted strikes on practitioners, and it may be useless if Master Tongzhi goes there."

"Thank you, Benefactor Chen, but it's not necessary."

Master Tongzhi clasped his hands together and lowered his eyelids:

"The poor monk is... afraid."

Master Tongzhi's face was extremely calm.

But when everyone heard the words, they were all silent.

People can praise a person who is willing to sacrifice for justice, but how can they look at a person with strange eyes just because he is afraid of death.

"I watched many civilians being killed by the crazy barbarians in the mercenary army for fun, but they did nothing. What Master said was true. My seemingly benevolent and loving heart is indeed hypocritical and empty .” Master Tongzhi’s voice remained steady, but his eyes began to flicker.

"Senior brother thinks so, it's not beneficial to practice." Zhongmiaozhimen frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"What would happen if you were all of you?" Master Tongzhi asked.

"Is that a hunting troop?" The Gate of All Wonders asked.

"Yes."

"Then..." Zhongmiaozhimen thought about it seriously, "I will probably be like senior brother."

"I have to look at the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves." Zhang Yogurt said first, "If the gap is very large, I may also hide, and then follow them, and quietly kill them one by one. If it is not very large, I will definitely Go up to them, hit them and run away, no matter how they make trouble later, it doesn't matter to me, if I can't see it, it means nothing happened."

The nameless person remains silent.

Chen Shu waved his hand and skipped the topic, because his answer was different from the Gate of All Wonders, and even an answer like Zhang Yogurt would only make Master Tongzhi blame himself even more.

This monk has a kind heart.

"In fact, each of us is a concrete person, not an ideal person. An ideal person is perfect, without flaws, and will not make mistakes, but a concrete person must have flaws, and the concrete world must have flaws. Things will definitely not develop according to our ideal direction. What's more, a choice can't explain anything, because the choice is disturbed by a lot of information. Maybe you chose this way the day before yesterday, and if you were yesterday, you will be another chosen."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the Gate of All Wonders, Master Tongzhi and the unknown person all looked at him.

Chen Shu looked at Master Tongzhi and said in a puzzled tone, "You can accept specific others, but why can't you accept specific yourself?"

"..."

Master Tongzhi shook his head again, and then replied: "Chen benefactor doesn't know something. Buddhist disciples all have great ambitions to help the world and save people. If I don't struggle in my heart, that's all. Maybe I have other more important things to do. Maybe I will help the world and save people from other angles, maybe I am good at other methods, in short, I can deceive myself. But no. I am struggling in my heart. Therefore, there is no other reason, I just lack the courage to sacrifice myself to save others, Lack of determination to stand against a powerful enemy for an idea."

"It's nothing more than normal."

Chen Shu still looked at Master Tongzhi calmly: "As I said before, every person has flaws. If you peel off the flesh of all living beings in the world, you will find that they are all made of orangutans. Flesh and blood, if you peel off their thinking, you will find that there are dirty little things hidden in many decisions that cannot be shared with others.

"But it's nothing.

"You have to learn to accept this and realize that your ideal self is not your real self. Otherwise, the more you think you should be like your ideal self, like the Buddhas in Buddhist allusions, the more concrete you will feel. They are so unbearable. And even the Buddhas, in their reality out of allusion, are necessarily flawed.

"Courage is precisely the most scarce of all human qualities, and the lack of courage is also the most common defect of human beings. Most people in this world are like this. They are cowardly people, but they yearn for bravery, imagine bravery, and have no relationship, it's nothing special."

Hearing the words, Zhongmiaozhimen couldn't help but look around, and found that Zhang Yogurt frowned with a dignified expression, the unknown person remained silent, and Master Tongzhi's eyes flickered.

A few seconds later, Master Tongzhi asked, "What Master Chen said is reasonable, but Buddhism has never lacked seniors who sacrificed themselves to save others. How did they do it?"

"Maybe they are rare brave people, maybe they are not. Maybe they are just when fate pushes them to be brave, when the world needs them to be brave. In fact, they chose to become a brave person as they usually dreamed and imagined. And they may have had moments of cowardice, but this did not prevent them from becoming a brave person in the end. "

"..."

Master Tongzhi remained silent for a long time, then stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed seriously to Chen Shu:

"Teachable.

"Fear of death is human nature. The first priority of any creature is to survive. A person who is about to drown is not wrong even if he drags him into the water. Since he is not sure that he can save people, he doesn't know the nature of water and jumps into the water rashly. Saving people is not necessarily a wise move. You don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to be ashamed."

This time Master Tongzhi didn't answer the phone again.

The young monk sat by the window and looked out the window silently. The crescent moon was rising higher and higher on the tree. I don't know what he was thinking.

Chapter 217 Duqin Cube

"It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's time for someone to call the post." Zhongmiaozhimen got up and adjusted his Taoist robe, then walked to the door and looked out.

"Then I'll go back to sleep too." Chen Shu said.

"Come on, it's so boring at night, why don't we stay and play cards!" Zhang Yogurt said.

"You stay and fight."

"How do practitioners sleep!?"

"Don't think I don't know that you sleep in the dormitory every day."

"Not going to ask!"

Zhang Yogurt got up and followed Chen Shu out.

"Benefactor Chen."

Master Tongzhi, who was sitting cross-legged and thinking with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again, stopped the rosary in his hand, and looked at Chen Shu: "If it were you, what would you do?"

"I……"

Standing at the door, Chen Shu looked back at him: "My belief in life is to live comfortably and calmly, so I rarely do things that would really make me feel regretful and ashamed, but I can't bear to part with this colorful world. With the person I love, so, I will probably be the same as Zhang Yogurt..."

"good!"

Master Tongzhi closed his eyes again.

Chen Shu walked out of the room and went upstairs.

Behind him was the sound of Zhang Yogurt's footsteps, very slight, keeping a distance of two or three steps from him, and she could hear her whispering:

"Learn from others, become a sparrow, fly a sparrow, become a turtle..."

Chen Shu couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked:

"What are you reading?"

"Read the jingle!"

"Who are you talking about learning from you?"

"I didn't tell you!"

"Then who are you talking about?"

"Whoever learns from me, I will say whoever!"

"..."

Chen Shu was speechless.

Zhang Yogurt ignored him, and continued to whisper to himself: "Turtle crawls, become a bastard..."

Chen Shu: ...

Fortunately, he lives on the second floor.

After a few steps, there were still a few steps left. He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yogurt lightly. Seeing that Zhang Yogurt had passed the second floor and continued to go upstairs, he asked with concern: "Brother Yogurt, what is your appointment today?" Is Little Haw still there?"

"?"

Zhang Yogurt was stunned for a moment, but the man in front of her was very thieves. Before she could recover, he went back to the room and closed the door.

"day!"

Zhang Yogurt's face turned blue and white, and his teeth were gritted.

But looking at the closed door and the quiet corridor on the second floor, she had no choice but to turn her head and continue walking upstairs, chanting as she walked, and kept reading Chen Shu from bastard to shit rake, even She also made up a paragraph by herself, but it was limited by her education level and noun reserve, so she didn't add rhyme.

"I'm home?"
