Chapter Eighty-Four: Empty
Two men who should have been on the tip of the needle, but at three o'clock in the morning, on the second floor of the bar that tends to be quiet, drinking and talking, such a scene happened to pet Tiange and Lin Xingyuan, it is really a bit weird.
Lin Xingyuan stared at the wine glass he was holding in his hand, orange and lemon yellow were divided into two layers, the entrance was soft and sweet, but the degree was not low, he knew that the name of this wine was very good, it was called "covetous".
The dictionary explanation is that you want to get something you don't deserve.
"It's rare that Mr. Pet has such a Yaxing tonight, and Lin should listen to it. ”
He raised his glass slightly, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily elegant and calm, without the slightest hint of a war between men.
Pet Tiange looked at him, his right hand on the bar gently knocked on the counter a few times, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and said leisurely: "A while ago, the old man went, and the family invited a monk who had attained the Tao to do the work. By chance, the master told me a little story about the Six Ancestors Huineng. ”
Lin Xingyuan bowed slightly, and said: "Master Huineng is the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, legend has it that he is illiterate, and when he was young, he relied on selling firewood to support his mother, but the first time he heard the "Diamond Sutra", he understood it, so he went to seek the law. ”
Pet Tiange also nodded, and said softly: "Yes, among the small stories about the Six Ancestors Huineng that have been circulated in later generations, I am afraid that the most familiar one is 'the wind moves the flag'." ”
It is rumored that before the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism Hui Neng received full ordination, he lived in the Dharma Temple in Guangzhou. One day, a Zen master of the Yin sect was giving a lecture on the Nirvana Sutra, and a banner was erected in front of the temple because of the master's lecture. Due to the fame of the Zen master of the Indian sect, a large number of people flocked from all over the world. Two of the monks saw the flags fluttering in the square and began to discuss.
One of the monks said that it was the flag that was moving. Another monk said, "No, it's the wind." The two argued endlessly, attracting many onlookers.
At this time, Master Huineng interjected loudly, it is not the banner moving, nor the wind, it is your heart moving.
Therefore, it is recorded in the "Altar Sutra": It is not the banner that moves, it is not the wind that moves, but the heart of the benevolent.
Lin Xingyuan naturally heard this little story that has been passed down for many years, and after listening to it, he bowed his head again and said with a light smile: "It's really unexpected, I didn't expect that someone like Mr. Pet would be interested in Buddhism." People like you and me can't escape the disturbance of the red dust at all, and I guess this kind of peace of mind is probably very difficult to obtain. ”
This time, there was a hint of mockery in his tone. Whether it is themselves or pet Tiange, they are all businessmen with copper stench on their hands, with endless desires, and they are trying to get the salvation of the Buddha, what a fool's dream!
"It's not that I'm interested, but I think the word 'heartbeat' is a bit mysterious. Master told me that what this means is that the wind and the flags are external and illusory, and that the human heart is transcendent in time and space, eternal and lonely, and that its essence is pure. One should comprehend the emptiness of one's own nature, seek the Buddha inwardly, and not be deceived by external objects. What he said was a bit of a subtle philosophy, but I have some extended views on it. ”
As he spoke, he got up from his high chair, walked around to the back of the bar, and opened the refrigerator himself.
He took out the carton of milk just now, poured half a glass, then picked up a few ice cubes, and finally picked up several bottles of base wine on the bar one by one, and mixed them into it one by one.
Shaking the wine glass, the liquid in the glass took on a strange color, and Lin Xingyuan frowned. He really didn't think that such a thing could be called a bartending, and it was hard to swallow just by looking at it.
Pet Tiange didn't think so, and sat back in his place, eye-level with him.
"My perception is that as long as I live, I can move my heart as much as I want. What others say, they don't count. What do you think?"
After that, in front of Lin Xingyuan, he drank all the messy liquids mixed together in his hands in one go.
"Bang. ”
The empty cup was upside down on the bar by Pet Tiange, and there was not a drop left in it.
Lin Xingyuan's eyes inevitably flickered slightly, but just for a moment, a smile regained on his face, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Pet is really a maverick, I admire him." It's just ......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wine glass that Pet Tiange had just used, and said with a smile: "It's just that I don't know what the taste of this glass of wine is?" ”
Just when Lin Xingyuan's fingertips were about to touch the cold cup wall, Pet Tiange stretched out his hand to block his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "I advise you that it's better not to." If you taste it and think it's delicious, and you pour yourself a glass from time to time, won't it be mine if you taste it?"
He said solemnly, as if he was really talking about this glass of wine with Lin Xingyuan.
"Heh, you're so confident, this glass of wine is really just for you to drink?"
Lin Xingyuan saw that Tiange was not good, so he simply took off the mask that had been maintained for a long time, his face was cold, and he did not answer the rhetorical question.
"No, not self-confidence. ”
Pet Tiange raised the corners of his mouth at him, smiling extremely smugly, and under his gaze, he suddenly waved his hand violently, knocking over the empty glass on the bar to the ground.
"Smack!"
The wine glass immediately shattered, splashing glass shards all over the ground, and Lin Xingyuan, who was standing behind the bar, suddenly retracted his feet.
In the second half of the night, the temperature of the air conditioner inevitably seems a little low, which makes people faintly cold.
Probably because Lin Xingyuan had explained in advance, there were so many waiters downstairs, and when they heard the voice, none of them ran up to disturb them.
"Yes, I am convinced. ”
Pet Tiange raised his chin slightly proudly, his height was about the same as Lin Xingyuan, but the latter was relatively thin. At this moment, the two men stood facing each other, separated only by a bar counter that was not too wide.
"Don't look for her anymore, she's not what you want. ”
Pet Tiange was too lazy to go around in circles again, so he simply picked out the words, although he didn't say the words "Ye Ying Ning", but I believe that Lin Xingyuan would not be unable to hear who the woman he was referring to was.
"I'm innocent, Ye Lan'an's character, you know it very well. She ......"
Lin Xingyuan spread his hands, expressing helplessness, and still didn't seem to intend to fall into the disadvantage in words. His tone was peaceful, but those delicate and narrow eyes revealed a provocative and warm light.
"Don't tell me, with her ability, if it weren't for your intention, she would have easily known about you! Lin Xingyuan, what kind of man are you, blindly hiding behind women, is it interesting?"
Pet Tiange interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking, and when he spoke again, his words were already close to insulting.
What kind of woman Ye Lan'an is, he doesn't need to know how many catties and taels she has, but she has countless pet Tiange can be known at a glance. She thought she had inadvertently discovered some shocking secret, but she didn't know that it was just Lin Xingyuan pretending to borrow her hand. This pampered daughter is not Lin Xingyuan's opponent at all, "I'm not a man, so what about you?" The pride of heaven in the eyes of everyone, pet Tiange, you'd better think about it carefully, have you done anything bad in the past 30 years?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xingyuan was not afraid, raised his head, and showed a hideous expression.
