Xiao Qiang saw the smile slowly appearing on Cen Chi's face, she couldn't comprehend, and couldn't help but ask, "Am I not right?" ”

Cen Chi didn't answer her question directly, but after being silent for a moment, he suddenly said, "Little Qiang girl, I will talk to Master Xixin about Zen in the afternoon, you can also come and listen." ”

Xiao Qiang really didn't expect Cen Chi to suddenly say such a sentence, she was stunned, and it took a long time before "Ah? "Yes.

Cen Chiwen continued: "However, you only need to listen from the sidelines, and it is best not to open your mouth to participate. ”

He seemed to have been able to anticipate Xiao Qiang's reaction at this moment, so he didn't show any unusual attitude about it. After a while, he added very seriously: "Maybe listening to his inner voice can change some of your current opinion of him." ”

Xiao Qiang originally wanted to refuse Cen Chi's invitation, but when she saw that Cen Chi was proposing this invitation to her, her tone and expression didn't look like she was joking, and she didn't want to reluctantly nod her head and agree, and at the same time, she also comforted herself in her heart: It's just an audit, no need to participate, it doesn't matter.

"That's it."

Cen Chi had already seen Xiao Qiang's concerns and lack of confidence in Xiao Qiang's eyes, and he could vaguely guess what she was thinking, so after he finished speaking, he also smiled at Xiao Qiang full of encouragement.

This smile was reflected in Xiao Qiang's eyes and delivered directly to the bottom of her heart, which quickly made her mood feel much more relaxed. At this time, she heard Cen Chi speak again, but he was reminding her of another thing: "Before starting these things, we have to say hello to the two nursing brothers waiting outside the gate, we will go back later." ”

After being reminded by him, Xiao Qiang remembered that she had almost forgotten about it, and after a somewhat flustered "oh", she hurriedly picked up her steps and hurried out of the vegetable garden. Suddenly, she heard Cen Chi shouting to her, "I'd better go with you!" If you lose your way in this temple. Do the monks of the whole place feel embarrassed? Sloppy girl. ”

After Cen Chi said that, he also hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at Xiao Qiang, the meaning contained in this faint smile was not very simple.

Xiao Qiang's face was embarrassed, but a trace of astringency rose in her heart. It was not difficult for her to understand that he was laughing at his panicked gaffe, but at this time, before she could refute the idea, she suddenly had a thought in her heart, and blurted out a sentence that was unusually smooth: "The sloppy girls are all brought by Mr. Sloppy." ”

Having said that, Xiao Qiang still cooperated and slowed down, letting Cen Chi walk in front to lead the way. It was his first time in this place, and he really knew the location of this place better than he did.

When Cen Chi walked past Xiao Qiang, he suddenly looked sideways at Xiao Qiang. There was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, "Oh? "Yes.

Only this one word appeared at this moment, but it made Xiao Qiang's heart suddenly beat for a while. couldn't help but bow his head slightly.

Walk through the vegetable bed, walk out of the vegetable garden, walk through the courtyard in front of the Buddha hall with fine and uniform white sand stones, and then walk out of the front yard of the main hall of the small temple dedicated to the Buddha, and step into the main hall as a guide. The ground is full of green and shallow grass, and there is a courtyard of a bell tower, and out of the middle gate of this courtyard, it is the outer courtyard.

The location of the courtyard where the vegetable furrow is located is already at the end of the small temple, no wonder it is very quiet.

Seeing Xiao Qiang walking towards the corner room in the outer courtyard, Cen Chi did not follow closely.

One is because of him at this time. After meeting with the same senior brother, he didn't want to communicate with the people of the Xiangfu anymore, not to mention that the two Xiangfu nurses had a lot of skills. is still a person who is in the core of all the military servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion; Second, if Xiao Qiang follows and arrives today, he really has some purpose, such as monitoring himself, as the eyes and ears of the Prime Minister. If she wanted to say something to those two, she should probably have commanded something. It was even more inconvenient for him to stay aside.

As for Xiao Qiang's peers today, will it be in line with his later assumptions, Cen Chi is not worried about this at all.

Because, from beginning to end, Cen Chi did not leave any flaws for the girl next to her, so that she could find out her true intention of coming to the small temple to find Xixin today. It can also be said that since the day Xiaoqiang was sent to him by the Prime Minister to serve his life, Cen Chi has been more or less attentive to her. Today, this has become an unassailable habit, allowing Cen Chi to be confident that he does not need to be vigilant all the time.

When Xiao Qiang approached the corner room where the outsiders were resting, and before she stepped up the door, her footsteps approached, which had already made the two people in the hut who were accustomed to maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times aware that the two Xiangfu Nursing Courtyards who were not leaving their knives had already walked out side by side.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiang did not continue to walk into the corner room, but stood in front of the door of the house and said something to the two people. The two men listened in silence, only nodding their heads from time to time, and rarely replying. Cen Chi, who was standing by the door of the small courtyard of the bell tower waiting for Xiao Qiang, his eyes floated on the surrounding scenery, and suddenly swept over the short knives that the two guards never left and hung on their waists with great speed, and then he withdrew his gaze and fell back into the small courtyard of the bell tower that was only separated by a wall from the outer courtyard.

More than half a month has passed since the last time I left, and at that time, the shallow grass next to the bell tower had begun to have new greenery, and now I look at it again, this new green has grown and changed into a shady trend.

Spring, which never seems to live up to the expectations of the earth, brings life to all things on time every year. Year after year, she never missed an appointment.

The moist greenery made Cen Chi's mood gradually stretch in a good direction, but the two short knives that kept in the hands of the two Xiangfu Nursing Courtyard made him think of the opposite of the vigorous spring, so his eyes only quickly touched the cold hilt, and immediately retracted it, and reinvested himself in the green field full of life and vitality under the bell tower.

Unexpectedly, after these two opposite feelings overlapped and collided, he unconsciously remembered what the young monk had just said in the vegetable garden.

"Things are man-made, and fate is determined by heaven."

He knew that the monk's words meant that the vegetables and the grass next to the vegetables were meant. People have a life, livestock also have a life, and the weeds under their feet, the flowers and trees embedded in every corner of heaven and earth, of course, also have a life. It's just that life is not a constant thing, and if there is life, there will be death, this is the law of nature.

Just now, he took the Buddhist idea of compassion as a generalization, and asked the monk why the attitude towards the life that vegetables and herbs should be the same is still different, and this kind of suspected intention to grasp the pigtails and question the belief in Buddhism will of course cause the monk's dissatisfaction, so when the monk says the second sentence, the context will change abruptly, and the appearance is mysterious and there is a sharp edge inside.

That's right, people can choose the path they want to take, what they want to do, some like the delicate weeds, where they want to take root, it seems that there is no taboo.

However, the fate of some things seems to have been determined by heaven.

Let's take the example of the weeds that grow everywhere: anyone can step on it, and it is very easy to eradicate it. The forces of nature, while giving it tenacious vitality, seem to have deprived it of its ego, but that is their fate.

Buddhism advocates compassion and universality, but this does not mean that we must always fight against the way of heaven. There are some things that have already been decided, but if they are really stubbornly reversed, they can become real evils. If we pity the weakness of the weeds and help the weeds to grow all over the earth, then how should other creatures and all things deal with themselves? Who and how to save their strength and weakness?

Unconsciously, Cen Chi fell into a thought circuit that seemed to have no exit because of a sentence that the young monk had said, and his thoughts gradually came closer to the anger and repression he felt at the death of his senior brother.

If it is said that the fate is determined by heaven, then the senior brother died in a siege and killing by people in his early thirties, this is not a man-made result, but it is a destiny determined by heaven?

If Providence wants him to die, then the royal empire to which he has contributed all his efforts has always been the result of wrong actions and mistakes? Or is it because of this that he was damned?

So what is man-made, what is heavenly, and who will divide and make the rules?

If everything in the world is predetermined, then why does the master still set that rule? It should be that there is no need for anyone to help and assist whom, and the will of heaven will naturally favor one side and make him the emperor.

But if this is the case, even if the senior brother didn't go down the mountain to the north with the surname Wang more than ten years ago, it would definitely be Wang Jiasheng in the end, and the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years, would naturally fall?

When his thoughts wandered here, Cen Chi's mind had already changed and many thoughts had been born, and in the end, these speculations, perceptions, and ideas were tangled in one place, making him frown.

At that moment, he suddenly felt the sunlight dim overhead. Without the shroud of the sun that is almost noon, the coolness of the breeze that sweeps around you from time to time can also make people feel it more clearly. The blazing above his head decreased slightly, and Cen Chi felt as if the temperature of the dry in his heart was also a little cooler, and the chaos in his mind was also clearer.

When he looked at it, he saw Xiao Qiang's face.

However, when there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and these intricate clues were all entangled in matters related to the master, he suddenly saw this face that he was already familiar with, but which made him always have a questioning attitude and kept a distance from him, Cen Chi's mood was awkward for a moment.

Xiao Qiang came with an umbrella to shield him from the daytime sun. She turned around and walked over, and before she could get closer, she could already see that the expression on Cen Chi's face was a little stagnant. When he got closer, she could clearly notice that a drop of sweat had slowly slid from the corner of his forehead to his cheek, but he didn't seem to realize it.

Xiao Qiang didn't think much about it, she took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and gestured to raise her hand to wipe his sweat, but as she got closer to Cen Chi, she could see more and more clearly the difference in his eyes. For this reason, she hesitated slightly, and the hand holding the handkerchief was only half-raised and froze.
