142. Uphill, downhill (ask for a monthly pass)
With the eyes of the Heavenly Dragon Mage, I am afraid that as soon as the words come out, I can see the blankness in Bai Haonan's eyes.
This has nothing to do with whether he is smart or not, whether it is cultural accomplishment or thinking ability, Bai Haonan can't understand the Zen machine of the old master's words, so the well-informed Master Tianlong smiled and explained: " For people who can really comprehend the epiphany of life, it is called a slap in the face, so that they can reflect on everything about themselves, and change to a different way of thinking. β
Bai Haonan really thought: "Then I'm not these two people?"
The old mage sat there with a meaningful smile: "Who do you think you are?"
Bai Haonan can't say it, this is already a philosophical proposition, he knows a fart.
Master Tianlong is not aggressive: "People who can have an epiphany have their own direction and belief in their hearts, they understand that they are the greatest faith, and people who are vassals and elegant follow others blindly, thinking that faith can change everything and pin everything on faith, but no matter what, faith is spiritual, you don't believe in anything, it's useless for me to say anything to you, and it's a waste of my strength to hit you on the head." β
Bai Haonan listened as much as he could, even if his expression was deferential, his expression was still disapproving: "What does it mean to believe it or not? It's all a lie, I don't believe that a Bodhisattva will fall from the sky to do something godlike and ghostly, and I don't believe that anyone will become a god or Buddha after attaining the Tao, it is all a lie, a fool." β
The Heavenly Dragon Mage didn't drive away this rebellious guy, and said quietly: "Then what did you come to me to learn?"
Bai Haonan didn't care: "Lao Yu said that I should learn from you, and I still want to know what I should learn." β
The famous mage still lives up to his name: "You have succeeded before, but now you are confused and looking for your own direction?"
Bai Haonan stiffened: "No, I think it's very good now, it's very comfortable, wandering around, picking up girls and drinking, and now becoming a monk who eats and drinks for nothing, this is a life experience that many people can't experience in a lifetime." β
Master Tianlong suddenly spoke mercilessly: "The road that is too comfortable to walk is often a downhill road, only if you learn to reflect, and then you have the confidence to go up, you are now just a guise for yourself to live a little life freely, under the guise of covering up your confidenceless heart, you obviously know that you are going downhill!"
Bai Haonan paused: "I don't understand these big truths......
The old mage became more and more ruthless: "It's not that you don't understand! It's that you're running away! Subconsciously dodging, you have a smart mind, but once you touch on these topics that really show that you are going to the trough of your life, you quickly pull the incomprehension to block it, and escape this painful introspection! How many mediocre people in the world are escaping like this, so they are mediocre people, if you give up this kind of thinking, you will eventually become as idle as them!"
In the face of Chen Sufen and Qiao Yingna's preaching, Bai Haonan can go back immediately, what qualifications does a college student who has not graduated from him have to teach him that he has been in this circle for 20 years and is close to middle-aged?
But when facing Lao Yu and Yu Jiali, Bai Haonan struggled a lot, and the other party's successful label also put a lot of pressure on him.
And in front of the words of the Heavenly Dragon Mage, Bai Haonan was already unable to resist, and his eyes were as flustered as Ada who was caught peeing indiscriminately.
It took a while to admit: "That's why I can ask you for advice......"
Unexpectedly, the Tianlong mage changed his voice slowly: " Perception is the fate of the individual, external forces can only guide, you can't take the chanting class, let alone someone alone to teach the Chinese scripture class, you just specialize in being a guest monk, but not in the temple for this little merit box income small things, to learn how to make publicity for the Tianlong Temple, improve popularity, since you are so good at using the temple attractions to make money from tourists, then do this work specifically, you are a smart person We use the way of smart people to speak, only the mage who really presided over such a large temple, only know that it is a matter of fate to worry about the reputation and operation of the temple, as long as you do not stain women and do not embezzle charitable fundsYou don't have to be bound by the precepts of other temples, go ahead. β
Bai Haonan was a little stunned, this legendary famous mage is a bit different, and it seems that he has heard that smart man's words somewhere.
But then the Heavenly Dragon Mage really didn't give Bai Haonan any more guidance, and waved him to retreat.
Bai Haonan came downstairs a little confused, untied Ada who was tied to the column head downstairs, and the dog immediately wagged his tail happily, at this time Bai Haonan was even a little envious of it, how can Ma De be a man with so many complicated truths, isn't it just to sleep when he is full.
When ordinary people should have dinner, there is indeed not a trace of cooking smoke in the temple at sunset, the monks wander around in twos and threes, and there is a place where seven or eight bald heads are surrounded by a place where a bottle cap is drawn on the ground to play chess, Bai Haonan went up and looked at it for a long time and didn't see a reason, and it felt like he had returned to the state of being idle after training in the junior sports school, of course, the biggest difference was that there was no girl.
As soon as I thought of this, I was hesitating about what Master Tianlong said that he was not bound by the precepts of other temples, whether it included that he could go out to eat at night, but the little dollars and bank cards he brought had been collected by Ada's brainless mind, and suddenly there were two figures in front of him who were so stunned, the front was an orange monk's robe, and the height of more than one meter was obviously a small novice, and the back was also bald, but the robe was pink......
Wait, Bai Haonan suddenly remembered that there were nuns in this temple!
, isn't this exactly the same as the boys and girls chased by the junior sports school, can't it be like this, keep saying that women can't touch monks, but now they openly let the little nun and the little monk frolic here.
Could it really be as Master Tianlong said, some things are just made of appearances?
Anyway, being idle is also idle, Bai Haonan walked over, but found that the little monk and the little nun just now were not hiding in the haystack of the warehouse at all, but rushed into a hall with a TV, which was already crowded with monks, of course, the pink nun robes were very few, and they were also clearly gathered in a small corner at the door.
Bai Haonan, who didn't have any habit of watching TV, laughed at his dirty brain, and was about to turn around, but he heard almost the monks in the entire hall cheering in unison, and looked at it, and the picture on the TV that was originally just the host's noise and incomprehensible was switched to the football field!
This is probably the TV picture that doesn't need words the most, Bai Haonan, who was already a little rumbling in his stomach, naturally leaned against the door, half of his attention was on the TV, and half of his attention was on these monks who had nothing to do with him, could it be that monks also love to play football?
The next live broadcast of the Premier League game gave Bai Haonan a good look at the fanaticism of the people of the Chinese people for football, or the fanaticism for the Premier League.
Although I can't understand the commentary on the TV screen, it is obvious that the timing of these monks' applause and shouting and beating their chests and sighing shows that they know the ball very well, not the majority of fake fans in the stands of the domestic arena who come to join in the fun, which makes Bai Haonan more and more interested.
Watching the game is not enough, after the end of the Liverpool vs Everton game, the monks who are still unsatisfied with it also turned over a ball and started to play in the open space outside the hall, maybe this is the charm of football, no need for a field or special equipment, not even a basic stadium area, just a group of people can pass the ball to each other around the open space.
It's not the common walking monkey in team training, nor is it the noisy amateur kicking indiscriminately, but there is a special way to try not to let the ball fall to the ground with each other, so it turns around, although there are many failures, but twenty or thirty young monks are scattered in the open space to vacate the ball at will, pass each other, and are very happy.
Bai Haonan stood by the door of the building and leaned against it, in fact, he was a little far away from that side, and at first he wanted to show off his skills, but after looking at it for a few more minutes, he actually had a weird feeling that it seemed better not to be ugly.
It's not that these monks are good at playing ball, but maybe there are racial differences, these young people are generally under 1.7 meters tall, but their flexibility and ball sense are good!
Especially the latter, the sense of the ball does not mean how skilled you can play, but refers to the familiar feeling of the ball, that is, a little bit of juggling, maybe these tips may not come in handy in the official game, but it is absolutely helpful to improve the ability to kick the ball, Bai Haonan asked himself that his ability to control the ball will definitely be able to surpass them, but to say that there are some tricks or unbelievable small actions that have never been played, maybe there will be foreign appearances, so now a little attentive observation, this is probably the thing he is most interested in.
As a result, at this moment, a timid voice was soft and glutinous beside him, Bai Haonan, who was holding his arm and one leg on the ground, looked down and saw that a small pink bald head was shushing and teasing Ada, but the dog was a little unreasonable, just looking down from the top of his head, Bai Haonan estimated that this little nun was six or seven years old, a Chinese little girl of the same age, not a treasure in the palm of several generations at home, but also a little Lori who could have parents to take care of going to school, which was like being a nun here, and this situation was quite common, so I felt a little pity for the other party, stretched out my foot and kicked Ada, blaming it for being too lazy, The dog lazily raised his head to interact with the little nun, but the small pink body timidly retreated a little to the door of the hall, but the child's heart couldn't help but squat there and stretch out a hand to tease Ada.
Bai Haonan looked up and returned to the monk who was playing ball over there, but then he heard a particularly cordial Chinese accent: "Ayi, go back, you should follow them back." β
Only people in a foreign country know the feeling of hearing the local sound, Bai Haonan turned his neck violently and his cervical spine clicked, and he had to bow his head again, and saw a childish little monk, who was greeting the little nun from a distance of dozens of centimeters, and the pink little body shook his head and touched it with affection, and Bai Haonan felt nostalgic again, a little girl of this age is really the pearl of the family in many big cities in China, but she came to live such a hard temple life, and couldn't help but speak:" Let her play a little longer, Ada, be enthusiastic!"
Of course, the dog didn't fully understand, but he had a deep feeling for Bai Haonan's foot contact, and immediately smiled at the little nun and stuck it in his arms, so happy that the little girl immediately giggled, but still looked up at Bai Haonan carefully.
The little monk was more clever, and immediately stood with his palms folded: "You...... Is it also Senior Brother Hua?"
Bai Haonan looked at the little boy who was only seven or eight years old, and loved it: "No, I just came to study with the archmage temporarily, I am Chinese......"
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is the first time Bai Haonan has said these five words, and he actually has a very special feeling when he says it, so he can't help but say it again: "Chinese, I am a Chinese." β
The little monk's eyes were as bright as stars: "It's really ......"
Before he finished speaking, the football flew over, the little monk couldn't help but raise his hand to cover the scream, Bai Haonan, who was wrapped in a yellow monk's robe, just walked slightly on tiptoe in place, and turned around to block the ball with his chest, and it was a habitual chest-holding action, that is, his arms were clamped towards his chest, and his wide but not extraordinarily convex chest muscles steadily unloaded the ball with some strength, slid down his chest, raised his knees, and turned the football upside down with his thighs......
This is actually Bai Haonan's favorite instinctive action, just as he was so upside down before he scored that shocking long-range shot in an official game for the last time, and the first contact with wild ball in the Medical University is also this action, his football talent is not outstanding, and his ball sense is really not outstanding, so he can only rely on practicing basic skills when he was a teenager, and he likes to use his thighs to juggle the ball the most, because compared to the narrow instep, the thighs are much easier, at least he feels much more relaxed, whenever he meets the evaluation of how many balls must be bumped, he loves to use this to top the numberγ
So it makes sense that I was able to use my thigh to kick the ball and then volley at the goal, and the action was so coherent.
Now it's naturally a bit of a show, the legs take turns to juggle the ball, every time the thigh is lifted to the right angle, it feels like walking high and lifting the leg, but it is steadily turning the ball up left and right, and then lifting the thigh on one leg so fast and high-frequency jilling, this action is more clever, because the frequency is relatively fast, and the single leg support is a little swaying, as if the whole body is shaking, the speed is extremely fast, in fact, it is a simple upright thigh knee joint can be juggling the ball quickly shaking.
But in the eyes of the people around them, it was completely acrobatics, especially in the atmosphere where they all liked this kind of small movements and small skills, and immediately coaxed everyone to come up and observe it up close.
Anyway, he is also a professional player, and he can't do the signature and difficult tricks of Brazilian players, so it's no problem to put some basic skills.
As Bai Haonan made a standard seven-part ball and took turns to juggle the ball, sliding the top of his head along his neck into his arms, the monks in the audience applauded, and they all smiled together!
Turning her head, the little Lori nun's eyes widened in disbelief, and the older little monk was already full of adoration.
Well, Bai Haonan made his first friend abroad.
