(352), Chi Zhi

~

Ruan Kuang was a little surprised, and simply stopped and turned to look at him.

"In the years since I left the master, I haven't worked hard, but until now, I can only do it without hating him when I can't see him......" Cen Chi's face showed embarrassment, as if when he said these words, someone tied a boulder to his neck, making him feel pressure every time he opened and closed his lips, making him speak extremely slowly, "If you talk about the gains and losses of kindness and righteousness, if I hadn't met the master in my early years, I would probably have died more than ten years ago, and my body might have become food for the beast's mouth, and it would be difficult to keep it intact." ”

"He not only took me in, gave me the capital to live like a human being, but also taught me skills that are hard to find in the world. If there is no enlightened person, no matter how good the talent is, it may be buried. People can't be ungrateful, not to mention that Master saved me when I was at my weakest, if I just abandoned him like this, wouldn't it be ......" Cen Chi suddenly paused when he said this, lowered his head slightly, and then sighed deeply.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head, with a calm look on his face, and continued: "It's not that I don't understand these truths, but I remember the kind of thing in his eyes when he suddenly appeared in my room that night. Although he held a soft rope in his hand, what he held between his fingers was a determination that made me feel cold to this day. ”

Seeing that Cen Chi was finally willing to express his attitude towards the incident that happened in the sect more than ten years ago, Ruan Kuang's heart was slightly surprised, but when he heard him say this, his mood became complicated again, and he didn't respond for a long time, but the expression on his face became more and more depressed.

"This is not a memory that time can erase lightly, and this is not a knot that can be untied with just one sentence. You once said that Buddhism needs an opportunity to achieve enlightenment, and this opportunity may come from a perception of a certain emotion of the person himself, or it may come from others, or it may be a natural feeling of traction. I think if I want to achieve a balance between cognition and feeling. Perhaps it is the need for something like this. ”

Cen Chi stared at Ruan Kuang's face, and the last sentence was a little more important in tone: "You won't not understand, this kind of opportunity will not be artificially created." You are at least more familiar with the Enlightenment Method than I am. ”

Whether it is a true prayer for Buddha or a false chanting, Ruan Kuang has been in a temple where monks live for nearly ten years, facing large and small Buddha statues every day, repeating those scriptures, and twisting a few strings of Buddhist beads between his fingers, how can he not understand the meaning of Cen Chi's words.

After smiling slightly, he said gently, "I know that you are already thinking in this direction. I won't need to interfere with you in the future. ”

"Don't always say that this qiē is because of your fault in the future." Cen Chi looked at the smile on Ruan Kuang's face, and his mood eased a little, "I don't know if you have imagined it." If you don't have zài since the beginning, maybe it will be Uncle Hongdao who is teaching apprentices on the Great Wilderness Mountain now, and the twenty-second generation of Beili is likely to not have zài me and Brother Lin. No one can choose their parents and background, and neither can you, Senior Brother, and I can't be ungrateful and ignore the responsibilities I should bear as a disciple of Beili. Now that the road has been walked like this. Then all that should be done is how to continue. ”

Ruan Kuang was relieved when he heard this, but he was only relieved for a moment, and Cen Chi's next sentence made him a little worried.

"I can learn and try to forgive Master." Cen Chi's eyes couldn't contain a chill, "But for the one in the north." I'm not going to take it lightly. ”

When Cen Chi said this, there had been a significant change in his title.

He was finally willing to call his master a respectful name, instead of calling him an old man as frivolously as he had just done. But for the uncle who is in the court of the Northern King, who is the twenty-first generation of the heirs of the Northern Fence in his hand, he is now unwilling to even give the title of a representative, and his tone is a little like he is talking about something.

As soon as he learned that Cen had relaxed his attitude towards his master, Ruan Kuang didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, he heard that he had to deal with another person in the same sect. This person was still the most important person in the previous generation of Beili, Ruan Kuang couldn't help frowning. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Senior Brother, have you ever thought about what would happen if Senior Uncle Hongdao had made my affairs public directly in front of a few Yin Yi Elders back then? ”

Cen Chi's eyes moved, and he said, "What do you mean by that...... Do we have to thank him for this mercy? ”

What Uncle Hongdao did back then, Ruan Kuang himself knew very well, because the person who was placed under house arrest by Uncle Hongdao in the Yuwang Mansion in the Northern Kingdom for several years was himself. He didn't have any good feelings for Uncle Hongdao in his heart, but he didn't express his feelings so strongly like Cen Chi.

So for Cen Chi's rhetorical question, Ruan Kuang just shook his head slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"He could have pretended he didn't know anything, and that's for the best. When the new generation of Beili disciples inherits the ions, the master's mission as a generational elder will be reached, and nothing will happen after that. Cen Chi said this, crossed his arms around his chest, looked up at the clear sky above his head, but his eyes showed a strange and unusual look of disgust.

However, although he was disgusted, he did not choose to swallow it, but continued to say the disgust in his heart at a slow speed: "Even if you have you, Master has not violated the principle of passing on elders from generation to generation, and has not lost the responsibility of passing on elders from generation to generation. ”

"At first, I was puzzled for a few years, judging by what he did to you later, why he was the one he kidnapped you. Later, I realized that he meant two things. Cen Chi said this, the disgust in his eyes became deeper and deeper, "If it wasn't you who kidnapped him, Master could still go to those Hidden Elders to preside over the door rules afterwards, but with the mind and habits of that guy in Hongdao, naturally he wouldn't do such an unsuccessful thing." Another point is that although he is the inheritor of the ion and has mastered most of the superior resources of the Northern Fence lineage, it is not all of them after all, and as long as you are in his hands, the power of the sect held by the master who has passed down the elders from generation to generation will naturally fall into his hands. ”

"I can't imagine that Uncle Hongdao's actions will go in the direction you envisioned." Ruan Kuang shook his head slightly in disagreement, "As you said just now, in the few years that Uncle Hongdao took me away, except for not allowing me to leave the Yuwang Mansion for half a step, other aspects were not bad to me. ”

"If you can do what he wants, he will be kind to you, and it will be a necessary cost to pay." Cen Chi still tilted his head slightly, and sent his gaze to the endless sky, as if he wanted to let this vast space loosen his feelings that he had suppressed for a long time. Then he continued: "Master trusted him to mention you to him, but this trust later became a bargaining chip for him to profit. You have been closest to him, and you have seen what he has done, and you should not need me to repeat it to understand what his fundamental intentions are. ”

As Cen Chi said, what Uncle Hongdao wanted to do, Ruan Kuang had long been very clear in his heart. However, he also knew what kind of hysterical things this little junior brother standing in front of him would do if he wanted to be ruthless.

Back then, the master named him 'Chi', in fact, he hoped that he would always remember the word 'Ci'. In the past thirteen years, he has broken away from the discipline of his master for some reason, but when he has the opportunity to meet again, Ruan Kuang feels that he still seems to have insisted on doing this. Although he avoided living in this small temple, he often invited him to talk about some Buddhist teachings, but in fact, he had the idea of strengthening the word 'compassion' in his heart.

However, now looking at his attitude towards his fellow uncle, Ruan Kuang suddenly had a completely different feeling about him, it seems that in the years after he left the master, what he was plump was only the 'Ci' on the surface, but the 'Anger' in his heart was not lost at all, but it was hidden deeper.

This kind of deep-seated anger will be very terrible if it erupts.

Ruan Kuang was worried, and he put all his worries on his junior brother, but ignored the worry about him in his junior brother's words, and didn't mention his own affairs at all.

Cen Chi was still thinking about Ruan Kuang's situation, he withdrew his gaze looking at the sky, turned to Ruan Kuang, and slowly continued: "Master and the senior uncle in the north have done things that violate the rules of the door, but there is a difference between the two. Master's fault fell on private matters, and that one, his actions have affected the interests of the sect. If he is allowed to do so, the resources accumulated by the Northern Fence for hundreds of years may become weapons for his personal use. This is not what the Ion Ancestor wants to see, the Beili family has existed for hundreds of years, and it will not uphold such a narrow and selfish spiritual belief. ”

"Senior brother, what are you going to do?" After Ruan Kuang said this, he suddenly sighed, because he realized that after this question was asked to the person in front of him at this time, he would definitely not get an answer.

Cen Chi listened to this question asked by his senior brother, and really didn't give a direct answer, but just smiled faintly and said, "These are just preliminary assumptions, I was originally going to talk to Senior Brother Lin." I always thought you were still in the north! That guy kidnapped you, and Master was always in trouble, and he couldn't use the power of the Elder Yin Yi to save you, so I think I had to use the power outside the sect...... Now that you're back, I can put this plan on hold for a while. It's just that I now see that you have used the North Fence Liaison Line to help me, and I am afraid that you will be taken to the north by that person because of this, so I want to remind you to be careful, but I said so much in one breath. ”
