Chapter 908 The Dusty Mystery and the Break of the Dragon Soul ([-])

The Dragon Soul main base has always been a controversial place, because no one in the entire Dragon Kingdom knows where it is hidden and how big it is except for a few people.Some people even boldly guess whether it exists or not?But from the perspective that Dragon Soul can have its own scientific research team, medical team, and troops directly under it, its scale should be very large. It is a pity that no one has been able to find its location for such a large organization for so many years. It also made the Dragon Soul main base cast a layer of mystery.

In fact, the Dragon Soul main base has always existed, and its scale is indeed very large, but it is hidden too deep, so deep that no one can find it.At least, it has not been found until today.

In the main base, there is an office of the largest size, which is the center of the entire Dragon Soul, and it is the place where only the leaders of the Dragon Soul are qualified to sit.But on this day, the most high-profile office was full of smog. The huge office was filled with smog, and the acrid smell irritated people's nose and throat.But the only guest in the office, monk Shi Ran, turned a blind eye to the smoky environment, and instead sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrated on reciting scriptures silently.

Tian Xing sat at his desk frowning bitterly, pinching his deeply furrowed brows with one hand and holding a cigarette butt that was about to burn out in the other, thinking hard about something.When the cigarette butt was about to burn his fingers, Tian Xing raised his eyelids to look at the cigarette butt in his hand, and then put out the cigarette butt that he had only smoked twice in the ashtray, and then pulled out another cigarette He put a cigarette in his mouth and picked up the lighter.

"The seventh root." Monk Shi Ran suddenly threw out a sentence without thinking.

Tian Xing looked up at him and asked, "What?"

Shi Ran raised his eyelids to glance at him, and said lightly, "This is the seventh cigarette you smoked after the meeting."

"Are there so many?" Tian Xing was stunned, took down the unlit cigarette in his mouth, looked at it in his hand, and discarded it and the lighter on the table.

"Smoking is harmful to self-cultivation and not beneficial to self-cultivation. Monk, I advise you to smoke less."

"I don't smoke." Tian Xing shook his head and said, "I only take a few puffs to relieve boredom when I am upset."

Shi Ran stared at him with eyes full of wisdom, and asked, "When are you not upset?"

Tian Xing froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Shi Ran asked again: "So you smoke every day?"

Tian Xing shook his head and said, "I only smoke when I am very upset."

"Amitabha." Shi Ran clasped his palms together and uttered the Buddha's chant softly, "There is nothing in the world, nothing is disturbing."

Tian Xing chuckled and said, "You great monk, you beat around the bush and called me a mediocre person."

Shi Ran said flatly: "The monk is saying that you are just asking for trouble."

Tian Xing touched the furrows between his brows, sighed and said, "Who in this world has no troubles? With great ability, one has to bear great responsibilities. The greater the responsibility, the more troubles will naturally arise." After a pause, he Looking at Monk Shi Ran again, he said: "Sometimes I really envy you monks who don't care about worldly affairs. You only need to accompany the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns and concentrate on reciting Amitabha Buddha. You don't need to worry about anything, and you don't need to ask anything. I really want to experience See what life would be like."

"You can too."

Tian Xing scolded with a smile: "Don't teach me to become a monk anymore, I'm not a monk."

Shi Ran closed his eyes and said: "It's just a formality whether to become a monk or not. It doesn't matter whether you shave or not. What you really want to shave off is not the three thousand threads of troubles on your head, but the threads of troubles in your heart. So you don't need to be a monk." , the Lingtai is quiet, it is a Buddha.”

Tian Xing touched the hair on his head subconsciously when he heard the words, and then smiled and said: "I don't understand Buddhism, and I'm not as free and easy as you, a great monk. Anyway, I'm destined not to be a monk in this life, nor can I sit in Zen. For your quiet and uncontested life, I can only envy you for a while, if I really want to drop everything and ask Buddha, that won’t work.”

Shi Ran closed his eyes and said: "So your troubles are self-inflicted. It's just because you are too persistent and can't let go."

Tian Xing sighed and said, "Some asked for it themselves, and others found it for me. With so many subordinates, management alone is a headache. If there are a few ice-like thorns popping out in the middle, it will be even more troublesome." It's a headache. You also heard the video conference in the morning, he made such a big mess, how do you want me to finish it? If it were you, how would you do it?"

Shi Ran continued to close his eyes and said, "I'm not you, and fortunately I'm not you."

Tian Xing was annoyed and funny looking at the look of having nothing to do with him, relieved, even monks are promoting Tai Chi these days, the world has really changed.Shaking his head, Tian Xing still persisted and asked: "I mean, what if you sit in my seat?"

Shi Ran said lightly: "Tao follows nature, Buddhism follows fate, let everything follow fate."

Tian Xing opened his mouth, he couldn't laugh or cry, and after a long time, the monk was still talking empty words.

Shi Ran opened his eyes again, glanced at him with wise eyes, and said lightly: "Actually, this question is very simple, but you made it too complicated."

"Easy?" Tian Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really think it's simple? If one is not handled properly, it will cause an uproar, and it may push the entire Dragon Kingdom to the cusp of the storm. But this ice, we can't catch it." No, let it go, I don’t know what to do with him until now. He is Wentian’s designated candidate, and Tianji will spare no effort to protect him, and even Ouyang Bo stepped in to join in the fun. Even the few remaining second-generation seniors in our Dragon Soul all ran out early in the morning to protect him. I don't understand, what kind of ability does this kid have to make so many big men intercede for him? "

"If there is an effect, there must be a reason. Since there are so many people who stand up for him, there will naturally be their reasons."

"You also suggested that I be lenient?" Tian Xing shook his head and sighed: "I think too, but I can't. He made too much trouble this time. If I follow my own way, Taiguo and Xiaochong's five It’s hard to explain it to the country. Not to mention that I’m under a lot of pressure here, the top is constantly putting pressure on us, and the people below us... oh.” Tian Xing sighed bitterly and shook his head.

Shi Ran Chuchen said indifferently: "Actually, all of this is easy to solve, but it's still you who made the problem too complicated."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Shi Ran was silent for a moment, and then said eloquently: "In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor went on a tour to see Da Kai at Mount Juci, and got lost halfway..."

Tian Xing couldn't help being stunned, why did this monk start telling stories again?Moreover, this story is not very new. Tianxing has heard the story of the Yellow Emperor meeting Da Kai long ago.Although he knew the story a long time ago, he didn't interrupt it.

Shi Ran continued: "On the way, the Yellow Emperor met a shepherd boy. He went up and asked the direction of Mount Juci, and the boy pointed out the direction. The Yellow Emperor then asked where the big Kai was, and the shepherd boy knew it. The Yellow Emperor asked again: "Do you know how to govern the country and the world?" The shepherd boy replied It said: "It's no different from herding cattle. If the inferiority of the cattle is removed, everything will be calm." The Yellow Emperor was amazed when he heard it."

After Shi Ran finished speaking, Tian Xing slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I know the story of 'The Yellow Emperor Sees Da Kai', but the shepherd boy should be herding horses instead of cows, right?"

Shi Ran didn't answer and asked instead: "Is there a difference between a horse and a cow?"

Tian Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, if a horse turns into a cow, wouldn't the idiom black sheep become nondescript."In the original story, the shepherd boy herds horses. Huangdi asked him how to rule the world. The shepherd boy said: "You think the problem is too complicated. In fact, ruling the world is the same as herding horses. You just need to drive out the bad horses that endanger the horses. It's gone." Since then, there has been a theory of black sheep.However, from Monk Shiran's mouth, the story has been changed beyond recognition, but the meaning is still the same.

Shi Ran half-closed his eyes, and said deeply: "Whether it is a horse or a cow, it is just a story. Whether it is a black sheep or a cow, the essence is the same."

Tian Xing frowned slightly. Although Monk Shi Ran likes to tell stories, each of his stories must have a deep meaning.And he changed the story of the Yellow Emperor's meeting with Da Kai beyond recognition, so naturally he has his reasons.

After thinking for a while, Tian Xing asked: "You want to say that it is not advisable to rely on the old and sell the old, and we should listen to other people's opinions. Sometimes the problems in our eyes may be very simple in the eyes of others. Thinking too complicated?"

Shi Ran glanced at him appreciatively, and said: "When you look at things, you have to look at their essence. As long as you find the essence, and then restore its appearance, you will find that everything is actually very simple."

Tianxing tapped his chin lightly, and asked tentatively: "Then what is the essence of this matter?"

Shi Ran answered irrelevantly and asked: "Why don't you restore the face of the whole thing first, why did this young man named Bing do this? What is his purpose and intention?"

Tian Xing smiled wryly and said: "This is what I have been unable to figure out. What exactly does he want to do? Why did he provoke so many invincible enemies for himself? Do you think that with the backing of the Dragon Soul, you are really powerful and lawless?"

"Wrong." Shi Ran said, "From the beginning to the end, he never thought of using the power of the Dragon Soul."

"Oh?" Tian Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at Monk Shi Ran thoughtfully.It seems that the great monk has found the key point, so he looks indifferent and refined.But what is exasperating is that this monk refused to speak out, and insisted on playing Zen tricks everywhere. Could it be that this can show that youdao monks are different?
Tian Xing couldn't help shaking his head, pushing this ridiculous thought out of his mind.He has been with Shi Ran for decades, and he knows what kind of person Shi Ran is, and it is impossible for him to practice meditation just to show himself.Because this monk has no self-esteem, honor, or vanity. He is just a monk born in the world, and he doesn't care about any vanity.Shi Ran must have his reasons for doing so.What is the reason, Tian Xing doesn't want to go into it, and now his biggest headache is the big trouble in front of him.

Nature?reason?Purpose?reason?
Why is ice so crazy?What is the deep meaning behind the crazy move?
Tian Xing closed his eyes and began to look at the whole thing again, subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, making a muffled sound.

********
In July, my father kept complaining of stomach pain, and went to a nearby small hospital for a gastroscopy. The doctor said that my father's stomach was full of blood, and asked him to go to a large hospital immediately.As a result, I went to a doctor, who was checked for pyloric cancer, and was immediately hospitalized for surgery.Halfway through the operation, the chief surgeon called me and my mother over and told us that he punched the stomach to see that the cancer had spread to the liver and intestines. He said that there was no need to do it and asked our opinion.In the end, the tumor in the pylorus was not cut off, but was directly connected to the stomach from the intestines. After that, food no longer passed through the stomach and directly entered the intestines.

When my father was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told my mother that my father still had about half a year left, and it might be a year after chemotherapy.Back home, while taking care of my dad, I went everywhere with my mom to find folk remedies and cancer cures, and then went to several hospitals in Hangzhou and Shanghai to find famous doctors.However, those doctors said that there is nothing to do if it has spread, which is very frustrating.

In the middle, I also wanted to write when I was free, but I was really not in the mood. In addition, I was still seeing a psychiatrist due to my own anxiety and neurasthenia, so it dragged on for so long.

Fortunately, my dad has been in good spirits lately, nothing happened, and I finally had the energy to sit down and write a few words.
