Chapter 183
Shu Wan was stunned, but at the same time, she sensed the unusualness behind these words, and she couldn't immediately grasp what was unusual about it.

So she looked at Du Sheng silently, and stared at him for the third time drinking three glasses of wine in a row. It seemed that she was uncomfortable with her unabashed gaze. Du Sheng finally put down the glass and looked at him in compromise. to her.

"I didn't ask you to come here to make you stare at me."

Without blinking, Shu Wan asked directly, "You called me to warn me, right?"

"What is the warning? It's just a reminder. You and I are brothers and sisters. I don't want you to be involved in this storm." Du Sheng smiled, with a gentle smile, completely different from his usual serious case handling.

For some reason, this kind of Du Sheng made Shu Wan feel unbearable, maybe this smile reminded her of the past, that period of green years on campus, even though the two majored in different majors, they could still see each other from time to time.

At that time, he was a man of great influence on the campus. He was exceptional in all aspects, and he immediately attracted attention wherever he went.

And her?But he is just an ordinary student. If there is something outstanding, maybe he can be ranked as a student with excellent character and learning.

The rumors about them almost went crazy on campus, but she, the person involved, didn't know what happened at all.

Until one day, she couldn't take it anymore and found him to ask why.

She will always remember his answer, which is so straightforward and reasonable.

——I told them that you will definitely become my girlfriend!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it was all seven years ago. Du Sheng also fell into memory because of the words "senior brothers and sisters", and couldn't help muttering, "The seven-year itch really makes sense."

Shu Wan woke up from the memory, the seven-year itch... She understood the meaning behind Du Sheng's words, which seemed to symbolize parting.

"Come on, let me toast you." Shu Wan took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Drink this glass of wine, regardless of the past and future, you and I are not brothers and sisters, and we have no working relationship. There's no need to talk about it."

After all, she took the initiative to touch his wine glass, and was the first to drink it up.

After drinking a glass of wine, Shu Wan was not enough, so he poured himself several more glasses one after another, and drank them all.

This is clearly the rhythm of self-intoxication!

Du Sheng saw everything in his eyes, and his heart was as clear as a mirror, but he didn't expose it. He knew that if it wasn't for the pain in his heart, no one would be willing to drink away his sorrow.

What's more, this person is Shu Wan.

At that time, he would pick her out and spread the word, making it known to the whole school, and he also took a fancy to her as a good girl who was a "good student" in the eyes of the teacher.

When he was young, he was actually very arrogant and arrogant, but he was able to achieve the ultimate in all aspects, even the teacher couldn't help him.

Therefore, he was also curious about how a well-behaved student like Shu Wan would react when he was cornered.

But even under the circumstances at that time, she cried to her roommates, and several girls met to eat and drink beer at the barbecue stand in front of the school to vent their emotions, but she never saw her drinking like this, almost indulgently.

Is it because of that man?Du Sheng thought of this almost immediately, how much love a woman needs to have for a man who can make her willingly hide her marriage.

I don't know how many glasses I drank in one breath, but when Shu Wan put down the glass that was emptied again, there were already two new wine bottles in front of her. She leaned her elbows on the table and rested her forehead, feeling a little drunk.

But only slightly drunk.

Her mind is still clear, the food stall is not crowded, but the boss is still busy, carrying plates back and forth between the tables, his forehead is dripping with sweat, but the corner of his lips The smile is also very deep.

Deeply engraved with fatigue, but also engraved with happiness.

That intoxicating, envious smile.

There was a wind blowing over, just blowing gently, but it seemed to blow away the little bit of drunkenness, Shu Wan felt sober like never before, sober enough that she could clearly see all the things she had done for many years.

"Brother, you said that if a person cannot feel true happiness for many years, is there something wrong with this person's perception?"

Du Sheng looked at the tears in her eyes, and the eyes gradually dimmed, "Maybe it's not this person's problem, but her environment, and the people around her are not suitable for her."

"Really?" Shu Wan asked softly, the voice was so soft that it was blown into the night sky by the breeze, "Brother, when I was in school, I always couldn't figure out a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The mentor said that doctors can't cure themselves, and consultants can't consult themselves."

"That's it."

"But why? If people can't even save themselves, why should they save others?"

Du Sheng was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Xiao Wan, have you ever had contact with Buddhist scriptures?"

Buddhist scriptures?Shu Wan looked at Du Sheng suspiciously, but saw him saying seriously: "It is said that the Buddha saves all living beings, but this statement is just a good sustenance. In fact, the Buddha does not save people, but only people save themselves."

"Buddha does not save people, only people save themselves?"

"People in the world think that the Buddha is omnipotent, but they don't know that the Buddha can't save sentient beings, because the Buddha has three inability. First, he can't change the karma for sentient beings. Second, he can't save those who have no destiny. Third, he can't save unbelievers."

Seeing his stern words, Shu Wan was really astonished, "Since when did you start reading Buddhist scriptures?"

"Listen to me, Xiaowan." Du Sheng interrupted Shu Wan's curiosity in a soft but serious voice, and stubbornly explained the obscure Buddhist scriptures, "It is said that even though the rain is heavy, it will not moisten rootless grass. It does not save people who have no ties. However, the so-called 'all actions are impermanent', karma is not a constant thing, and there is absolutely nothing constant in the world."

"Everything is moving and developing. As long as everyone has a heart longing for truth, goodness, and beauty, and has the pursuit of wisdom and truth in the ultimate sense, that is a 'destined person'."

"But Buddhism is equal, and all living beings are equal. The Buddha's teachings to save everyone actually requires all living beings to save themselves, to know the impermanence of life, and to let go of attachments, which is to save their own nature. Therefore, seeking Buddha is actually seeking the heart."

This faction would definitely not let Du Sheng say the words out of Du Sheng's mouth in such an awkward but solemn manner, even attracting the attention of the other tables.

Shu Wan heard half-knowledge, and Du Sheng suddenly looked at her seriously, "Xiao Wan, doctors can't treat me, and consultants can't give me advice. It's not because I can't help it, but because I don't want to face my true self."

"Xiao Wan, senior brother is leaving. I don't know when I can see you again. I have no other requirements. I just hope that you can follow the true thoughts in your heart. If you like it, you can go after it and explain it."

"If you're bored and unhappy, then change your environment, your mood, and your way of life. People don't have to live everything clearly to understand. Some things just need to be well known."

"It's not easy for everyone in this world. If possible, I believe that even a murderer would not want to go to the step of taking someone's life. In this world, there will always be such and such unhappiness, which cannot be controlled."

Otherwise, how can there be the saying of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately?
……

Du Sheng left. He voluntarily resigned from his position as the captain of the criminal police team, left unfinished cases behind, and left freely.

In Rongcheng, the news spread like crazy, and the complexity of the case can be seen from Du Sheng's resignation.

When Mu Li heard the news, it was already the second day after Du Sheng resigned. It was a rainy morning, and the crystal dew reflected the sun's light in the yard, giving off a fascinating color.

At that time, Lin Jinqian was about to go out.

Tomorrow is the day of the old man's funeral, and it coincides with the fifteenth day, so he went to the temple to chant Buddhist sutras as usual.

Mu Li watched his retreating back, walking slowly but firmly on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. For some reason, there was a longing in her heart, and she finally couldn't hold back, and caught up with her, "I'll go with you .”

Let me see, what is it like to let you go to the temple to worship Buddha in person on the fifteenth day of the new year, regardless of the weather?
Lin Jinqian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in response.

……

The car drove into a village, and the road became narrower and narrower, so narrow that it was only wide enough for one car, and even one more person couldn't pass through.

Luo He's driving skills were very good, and he went all the way to the depths of the village and reached the foot of the mountain smoothly.

"The next road, we can only walk up by ourselves." Lin Jinqian explained briefly, then opened the door and got out of the car.

Murray followed closely without any hesitation.

It was a high mountain surrounding an unknown village. It was so desolate and remote that no one cared about it. Even the road up the mountain was not a stone step, but a hard lump of dirt trampled by people.

It is not difficult for Lin Jinqian to climb up, he is already familiar with it.

But Mu Li couldn't keep up, the steps were too small and too steep, she tried her best to follow behind, and it was very difficult.

She grabbed the grass and trees on both sides that she could rely on, held her breath, and gritted her teeth to climb up.

Suddenly, when he raised his head, he saw Lin Jinqian stopped at some point and looked at her from a high place, his eyes were deep and a little unbearable.

"Go to the front." He turned his body to the side, let her go forward, and let him cut the back.

Mu Li didn't refuse, and rushed to the front of him as soon as possible, so that he could climb up without falling behind.

Finally arrived in front of the temple, but she was already covered in sweat, Lin Jinqian was standing beside her, breathing steadily, climbing such a difficult mountain, he did not exert any effort at all.

At this moment, a young novice came out of the temple quickly, "Amitabha, Lord Lin is here, everything is ready."

Lin Jinqian also raised his hand wrapped with Buddhist beads to greet the little novice, "Please take good care of this female benefactor for me, please arrange for her to rest and find some tea for her."

The little novice agreed, and took Mu Li to the side room, greeted Mu Li and left.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, I walked out of the room curiously to look around.

The environment here is quieter than Lihuaxi. She walked along the corridor unknowingly, and when she arrived at an unrecognizable place, she heard a familiar voice: "My Buddha is merciful, I am responsible for all the crimes, I can no longer To save myself, I also hope that the Buddha will make an exception and save the people I care about."
