Chapter 1: Childhood Experiences
"The Buddha said that the six roots are pure. The Buddha said that all sentient beings are equal, and if they sincerely worship the Buddha, the Buddha will bless them. So, what about those who don't worship the Buddha? Isn't it true that the Buddha won't be blessed by the Buddha? If the Buddha blesses those who don't worship the Buddha, isn't it unfair to those who sincerely worship the Buddha? How can all living beings be equal?" a young man asked an old monk. The old monk said, "I heard one of my old masters mention that a young man seems to have also mentioned this question before, so let me tell you his story." That young man seems to be called ---- Chen Mengji. ”
Chen Mengji, a small village in the XH district of Guangdong, has a lot of fantasies, oh no, it's a young man with dreams. When he was born, Stephen Chow's movie "Jiupin Sesame Official" was being screened, and his father also became a "lawyer fan". The name given to his son may be because there was a great lawyer Chen Mengji in the local Qing Dynasty at that time.
On the day Meng Ji was born, an ascetic passed by at the door, and he saw the ascetic in his early forties, dressed in a simple monk's robe, and faintly wearing shoes, showing the bitterness and sincerity of his practice. The ascetic monk was about to go to Meng Ji's house to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that Aunt Wang, a neighbor who came to visit Meng Ji, saw the ascetic monk first, and Aunt Wang hurriedly said to Chen Mengji's father: "Old Chen, there is a monk who has come to turn his fate, hurry up and get some dry food, and also ask for a good fate for the child and pray for a blessing." I saw Meng and his father take some dry food, pickles, and water from the house, and hand them to the ascetics.
"Thank you, the poor monk has thanked you here. ”
"Haha, you don't have to be polite master, I just got a son in my family, and I just wanted a good fate. Meng Ji's father smiled simply.
"Since it is so fateful, and the donor has also turned into a fate for me, the poor monk can calculate a hexagram for your son here. Dare to ask when Ling Gongzi was born?"
The sudden inquiry made Meng Ji's father a little confused, but thinking about it, since he is a member of Buddhism, it doesn't hurt to calculate. "I was born at 1:28 p.m. yesterday. Meng Ji's father said.
The ascetic closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth, Meng Ji's father sounded like a term like the Book of Changes, and Meng Ji's father didn't understand it very well.
"Donor, the poor monk is finished, but my Buddhism does not advocate divination with people, although the door of convenience is opened today, but please forgive the opportunity not to be revealed. However, Ling Gongzi and Buddhism are fateful, if Ling Gongzi is young, there are academic or career troubles, you can come to Nanhua Temple to find a poor monk, the poor monk law number Xuyun. If Ling Gongzi didn't have this trouble in his youth, he would have treated the poor monk as a passerby, and everything was just a farce, haha, thank you for the benefactor's hospitality, and the poor monk said goodbye. ”
"The master walks slowly. Meng Ji's father was confused. However, the confused mood was soon forgotten by the joy of the child.
When Meng Ji was young, although his family was not very wealthy, his parents still doted on Meng Ji, except for toys, food and clothing, all of which were much better than the children in the neighborhood. Especially his mother, she spoils her so much that she is so worried that she even goes out to the town to play with her classmates. When Meng Ji was a child, his friends were often very envious of him when he was eating and drinking, but whenever he saw his friends playing outside, he was actually very envious of his little friends. Before college, he spent most of his weekends at home. When you are bored at home, you will imagine a lot of things. will imagine himself as the protagonist in martial arts novels, and will imagine himself as the male protagonist in idol dramas. Under the pampering of his mother's imprisonment, he has a rich imagination and thinking ability, but he wants to go out to play again and again, and is ruthlessly dismissed, which makes him rebellious.
There will always be a day when the fixed-term prison sentence will be released, and this day has finally arrived. After the college entrance examination, it turned out that his mother's "imprisonment" was still very effective, and under the influence of his father, who was a detective and lawyer, he was admitted to the university of his dreams, the Law Department of South China University of Political Science and Law. The alma mater of Guangdong's political and legal elites.
Chen Mengji's life before going to college can be summed up in three words, good child. But who would have thought that after going to college, Meng Ji, who is usually rustic, introverted and shy, became a famous legal genius. Since I went to college, I can also dress up, a big man who is originally 1.85 meters tall, with a square long face of British style, a pair of sword eyebrows hanging in front of his forehead, and he is really a bit of a male god when he is dressed. Indeed, the four years of college changed Meng Ji's life.
