Chapter 662: Is There Really a Soul in This World?
Lions, tigers and leopards are all beasts, but in the face of the unreasonable little Lori, they have to turn into well-behaved kittens, and even many cats are not as well-behaved as them.
Further on was a lone wolf, solitary with knotted fur, like a tiger in the Tiger Mountain, circling in circles around its small living territory, and not hearing anything outside the window.
When you see the look of that wolf, you can really be sure that they are really not idle.
They need to run, they need to hunt, they need a wide range of life, they need freedom, but now they can only stay in a small cage to meet the fingers of human beings, and they will provoke them when they encounter a skin like Yin Nuxia.
Goddess Liu held the grid of the iron cage in her hand and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
There may be many people who think that they live in cages very comfortably, with food and shelter, but who likes cages? But without cages, without zoos, many animals will not be able to survive at all.
Isn't it just like them?
There are deer, zebras, elephants, hippos, giraffes, rhinoceros and other animals in front of them, all of them are big men, but unfortunately little Lori asked Cheng Yan many times if she would catch this and eat it tonight, but Cheng Yan didn't answer it.
That's pretty much it.
Although it is one of the top zoos in the country, it is as big as that.
After discussion, everyone decided to return the same way, because there is a bus stop outside the north gate, and it is more convenient to take the bus.
It took less than twenty minutes to walk back, and Yin Nuxia met the group of monkeys and delayed for another twenty minutes, so Cheng Yun originally felt that 'there was nothing to do, and it would be done in one or two hours' The zoo had to be visited for almost three hours.
When he walked to the north gate, there was a separate arrow that read 'Tomb of Zen Master Yuanwu', which made Cheng Yun a little puzzled why there was a tomb in the zoo.
But he didn't ask much, in his opinion, in this era, in order to make money, many attractions are trying to make their own standards higher, thousands of years of history by them from head to toe, is to find a celebrity who has a relationship.
Cheng Yan saw his gaze and asked, "Do you know who Zen Master Yuanwu is?"
Cheng Yun instantly knew that this Nizi was going to show off her knowledge again, and after thinking about it, he said, "Did you follow the teacher to the zoo when you were in elementary school, just like the group of elementary school students just now, and the teacher who led the team told you?"
Cheng Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, blooming with a fierce light.
Cheng Yun immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, but in order to avoid trouble, he still cooperated and asked, "Who is Zen Master Yuanwu?"
"Yuanwu Keqin Zen Master, a senior monk of the Song Dynasty, the host of the heyday of Zhaojue Temple, famous in the sea. Cheng Yan's voice was a little unhappy, obviously because Cheng Yun was so interrupted, her explanation seemed a little tasteless.
"Famous at home...... Really?" Cheng Yun tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Really. Cheng Yan glanced at him lightly, "This zoo was built very casually, and this tomb has existed for many years, so there is a tomb first and then a zoo, not what you think." Zhaojue Temple was also very prosperous, Buddhism spread to South Korea and Japan, and there are still many small temples in these two countries that worship Zhaojue Temple as an ancestral garden, but when they came to Jinguan and wanted to come to the tomb of Yuanwu Keqin Zen Master to burn pillar incense, they found that this tomb was in the zoo, which was very embarrassing......"
"Then let's take a look!" Cheng Yun became a little interested.
"Nothing to look at. β
"Look at it, it cost the entrance fee. Cheng Yun said.
ββ¦β¦ It's embarrassing to say that the average ticket money of more than ten yuan per person almost made other monkeys infighting. Cheng Yan rolled his eyes and said.
"That's not what I'm kidding. Cheng Yun said.
As soon as she turned her head, the culprit followed them, with a pair of big eyes and an innocent face, and even Cheng Yun wondered if she had heard them.
Cheng Yan waved his hand: "Then let's go and have a look, it's not far anyway." β
It's not that far, it's just a short stretch.
There is nothing to see, and it is not as good as the ancient celebrity tombs of those boring attractions that Cheng Yun went. At least the people are still beautifully repaired, and there are sculptures, and the tomb of Zen Master Yuanwu Keqin can only see a stone tablet. The surrounding vegetation is lush and messy, and there is an altar in front of the tombstone, on which are placed a few pots of potted flowers that are easy to feed and two bottles of plastic flowers, which is very deserted.
Cheng Yunchai most tourists will not come here, except for the group of primary school students led by teachers, and some intellectual parents with children.
Cheng Yan plays the role of an intellectual parent or a leading teacher, to the little Lori for cultural edification, she talked about his achievements and writings from the life of the Yuanwu Keqin Zen Master, the language is concise, for fear that the little Lori will feel bored, she also talked about the Qing Ding Master of the last century.
Master Qingding was ordained in Zhaojue Temple, and had many important positions in Buddhism, he was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he came to the Jinguan who did not understand the language to promote the Dharma, and repaired the Zhaojue Temple that was destroyed during the ten years.
Before the death of Master Qingding, he left a verse, which means that he is the reincarnation of Zen Master Yuanwu, and he will be reincarnated again and protect Zhaojue Temple.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yan paused.
She suddenly couldn't help but thinkβ
Is there really a reincarnation in this world?
Do people really have souls?
Is it possible that she Cheng Yan lived before? Under her body, is there anything that determines that she is Cheng Yan? Before she didn't have this body, did she already exist? And after losing this body, will there still be a treasure that is not eroded by time, a glowing thing of what color still represents her and survives?
Cheng Yan shook her head unconsciously, and immediately realized that she was still too badly affected, although she had tried very hard to keep herself to her heart.
If she would never have thought about such a thing before, it would have been an insult to her reason to even think about it, even if she could read the legend of the relationship between Zen Master Yuanwu Keqin and Master Qingding in a calm tone, it was only a story.
That's who she is.
She has great trust in her own reason. Just like she knows what structure the human body has, what people rely on to think, what they rely on memory, what affects human thinking, and how people are born and grow to such a big size, these are all observable, so she never believes in the existence of souls, nor does she believe that there are ghosts in the world, just like a rigorous scientist.
Why did she put aside the unbelief that she could see and touch, and believe in those things that were unnecessary?
Can ...... now Some things don't come out of nowhere.
Those magical things...... She'd seen it too.
These thoughts were only between the lightning and flint, Cheng Yan quickly came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Lori tilting her head and looking at her with puzzled eyes, as if asking her what was wrong, and she was not interested in the fantasy story she told at all.
However, Yin Nuxia listened with relish, and hurriedly asked, "What about later? Is that temple still there?"
Cheng Yan glanced at the little Lori several times, and made sure that the little Lori was really not interested, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated, obviously Cheng Yun was very interested in whatever she talked to it.
"Of course, there is a station over there called Zhaojueji Station. β
"Then the ...... of Zhaojue Temple now Is the leader still the reincarnation of the glutton?" asked Yin Nuxia.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. Cheng Yan said listlessly, "Now the country does not advocate reincarnation, and I heard that even in the 'reincarnation theory' where the 'reincarnation theory' is most prevalent, it is not allowed to show off reincarnation." β
"Oh. β
Yin Nuxia nodded a little disappointed.
When everyone walked out of the zoo, it was almost five o'clock, because there were snacks sold at the door, such as cold noodles and roasted potatoes, so that Yin Nuxia couldn't help licking her mouth, and turned her head to look at Cheng Yun: "Stationmaster, are you hungry?"
"It's ok. β
"Do you want to eat snacks? I'll buy them for you. β
"Don't eat. β
After Cheng Yun thought about it, Yu Guang glanced at the surrounding area and saw that there seemed to be a lot of restaurants around, and he was a little tired after walking all afternoon, so he said, "Let's find a place to eat around here, I don't want to cook anymore when I go back." β
"So early?" asked Cheng Yan.
"Okay, find the restaurant, go in and order food and sit down, it's almost half past five to eat." β
"Well, you pay for it, you have the final say. β
"I'm in for a treat!" Yin Nuxia immediately raised her hand.
"Okay, let you behave ......" Cheng Yan was not polite to her, knowing that this girl with a lower IQ than Xiao Lori is now a real local tyrant, and whoever wants to marry her will not have to fight for her in this life.
"Okay!" Yin Nuxia was very happy.
I finally found a place to spend money, and this feeling of sitting on a huge amount of money but not finding a place to spend it is really uncomfortable!
After walking around, everyone chose a small county liver string and incense, ate for two hours, and returned to the hotel at eight o'clock in the evening.
The lights of the Flame Bakery are still bright, and you can see the beautiful decoration and display of the store from afar, which is very eye-catching on this somewhat old street. The front desk of the hotel is also lit up, with a rectangular light shining on the street and sidewalk, and the glass door of the front desk is open, and a young couple is walking out of the night market arm in arm.
When I walked in, Boss Tang put a chair in front of her store, and she sat on the chair, holding a brand-new pu fan that I don't know where it came from in one hand, and a crispy pear in the other hand.
A plate of mosquito coils was placed next to it, supported by the iron sheet holder distributed in the mosquito coils, and the ash was about to fall half a circle on the ground.
Boss Tang wore a simple dress, with two snow-white legs overlapped, and the corners of the skirt pressed into the gap between the snow-white skin, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and passers-by couldn't help but look at her.
And she wore a pair of headphones, and her phone rested horizontally on her lap, as if watching a video.
Take a bite of a crisp pear, slap twice on your calf with a fan to repel mosquitoes, your sweet facial features are illuminated by the light of your mobile phone, and you look up from time to time to see if there are any guests in the hotel opposite.
When she looked up, she saw Boss Cheng and his party.
There was still a mouthful of pear in her mouth, which was full of juice, so she said a little vaguely: "Yo, I went to a zoo for a day and fell into Tiger Mountain, right?"
Cheng Yun came over and said, "I'm sorry for you." β
Tang Qingyan's hand holding the pear tapped on the screen with her little thumb and pressed pause, but because her hand was stained with pear juice, the screen was also wet, she quickly put down the puff fan and picked up the phone to wipe it, and said very simply: "This is to repay your meal." β
Cheng Yun smiled: "Okay, let's go in, there are many mosquitoes outside, I will invite you to dinner tomorrow to show your gratitude, you are about to close the door, right?"
"I didn't close until nine o'clock. β
Boss Tang paused after speaking, and said seriously: "I'm just sitting outside to rest in the cold, not to help you look at the store." β
Cheng Yun glanced at the air conditioner in her shop and didn't say much.
At this time, Tang Qingying pulled his arm and pulled it back, and said, "Brother-in-law, go back and take a bath, I asked her to help me take care of the store, and I should be here to thank you!"
Cheng Yun smiled again, turned around and walked back.
I don't know what Tang Qingying said to her sister, anyway, she stood in front of Boss Tang's shop for a while before coming back.
The first thing you do when you walk into the room is ......
"Smoke!"
"What about the pictures I asked you to take me?"
"Hey!"
"Bang bang!" Tang Qingying patted the glass in the bathroom, "Don't speak, I'm in!"
"You dare!"
Cheng Yan's voice finally came from the bathroom.
Brush!
Tang Qingying withdrew his hand like lightning, as if facing Xiao Lori, and said a little cowardly: "That...... Then I'll talk about it when you come out. β
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yan came out wrapped in a bath towel.
Tang Qingying raised his eyebrows, and he always felt a little unable to control his hand: "You...... Are you not wearing it inside?"
Cheng Yan looked at her calmly: "You are like this, I can fight ten." β
"Hiss......"
Calm down immediately!
Tang Qingying coughed dryly, sat upright, and said, "That, what about the photos I asked you to take for me?"
"When did you ask me to take a picture of you?"
"What?"
Tang Qingying immediately exploded, and he couldn't care less about being afraid of Cheng Yan's force, and puffed out his eyes and said: "When I visited the zoo this afternoon, I walked with my brother-in-law, and I gestured to the back and asked you to take a picture of me!"
"Did you tell me to take a picture of you?"
"Of course!"
"How do you make a gesture?" Cheng Yan's expression was still calm, and he didn't care about Tang Qingying, who was already a little anxious.
"That's it, then this, and then this!"
"Oh, I thought you were grimacing me. β
"I also sent you a message!" Tang Qingying took a deep breath, her chest immediately bulged high, she simply stood up and stared at Cheng Yan fiercely, if you fool me, I will beat myself to death.
"I ......"
Cheng Yan looked at Tang Qingying's fierce expression, lowered his head and hesitated, but still retracted his words: "Okay, I saw it." β
"Did you shoot it?!"
"Shoot. β
"Hoo ......"
Tang Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and quickly took out his mobile phone: "Pass it to me!"
"It didn't shoot well. β
"Oh, it's okay, hurry up and pass it to me!
"Take it yourself and pass it on. Cheng Yan unlocked the phone and handed it to Tang Qingying.
"Done! I'll make a good choice. β
Tang Qingying took the phone with longing and opened the album, but soon her expression stiffened.
Here's what she imaginedβ
She and her brother-in-law walked side by side, holding an umbrella together;
She playfully pinched the corner of her brother-in-law's sleeve, and the brother-in-law just turned his head and looked at her helplessly;
She pointed to an animal, and her brother-in-law gently explained it to her;
She took toilet paper to wipe her brother-in-law's sweat;
She......
She had done all of this, and she thought that her best friend's photography skills were so good that she should be able to capture these beautiful moments, but the truth was this-
She;
Brother-in-law;
She and the monkey;
brother-in-law and monkey;
Occasionally, a few of the shots that are in the mirror together are poorly shot, and it may not even be obvious that it is her and her brother-in-law. After looking for a long time, I only found a good-looking one.
Luckily, there's another good one.
But......
Still not easily forgivable!
Putting down the phone, Tang Yaoyao was like a popeye who had eaten spinach, and there was a raging flame behind the whole person, she stared at Cheng Yan and said word by word: "You!too!over!!!!
Cheng Yan tilted his head: "Are you going to make a big move?"
Tang Qingying stared at her deadly, and suddenly deflated: "If it weren't for the beautiful one, I would have to kill someone today!"
Cheng Yan fell into thought.
At this time, Tang Qingying took advantage of her unpreparedness, grabbed the bath towel and pulled it fiercely, and ran away a few meters.
Spring is infinitely good......
About a minute later.
Tang Yaoyao let out an unconscious moan in his mouth, and the whole person was paralyzed on the carpet, but he was still holding his mobile phone, finding the best photo, pressing and holding and selecting forward, and the contact person chose Tang Qingyan......
While muttering, he typed weakly but steadily: "I'm tired from visiting the zoo today." β
The sending was successful.
Tang Qingyan quickly replied to her with a string of ellipses.
Tang Qingying couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, a voice came from the bed: "It seems that I haven't beaten you enough, and I can laugh!"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you!"/11_11781/
