After Jing Ran and Daniel Zhang and his party separated from each other, Daniel Zhang led the people to Jinyang County on a fast horse, while Jing Ran and Xiaoyue and their group continued to advance according to the original route, and before dark, the group also entered the city of Ganzhou in Western Qin.

Ganzhou City is an important economic transportation point of the Qin State, and it is located at the forefront of the junction of Qin and Chu, and it is the first big city to enter the Qin State, so it is much larger than the small Linjiang City.

And after entering Ganzhou City, the happiest thing is Xiaoyue, the servants and servants in the past few days have already made her handsome face a little more dusty, and along the way, she shouted that she would find a bigger inn to freshen up after entering the city.

When everyone heard her complaint, they covered their mouths and didn't dare to laugh.

Although there were only a dozen or so people in the group, they were all tall and tall, and the two leaders were also richly dressed, and the guards at the city gate did not dare to despise them.

"What are you doing here, it's in the middle of the Great War now, I'm here to investigate, I hope you'll forgive me."

After the guards finished speaking, they searched directly, but Jing Ran, as a group of people who fled, where would they have the relevant documents of the Qin State, and after a while, the guards in charge of the search surrounded them, and at this time, Xiao Yue, who was shy all the way, suddenly played the princess majesty, and directly showed her waist card.

"Princess Daqin Mingyue!"

The guards immediately fell to their knees when they saw the waist card, it seems that they have not received the news of the escape of the Moon Princess.

After identifying themselves, the group entered the city generously.

After entering the city, Jing Ran found something different, the whole city seemed to be in a relatively tense atmosphere, and only after asking someone did he know that it was the new army of Zhao Yi, the palace supervisor of Chang'an Palace of Great Qin, who was also here, and the army was stationed outside the city, but Zhao Yi himself was in the city.

Of course, Jing Ran knew who Zhao Yi was, it was this person who made a deal with Jing Yu in Chu Capital at the beginning, wanting to cede Shangdang County to the Qin State, but now that things have developed to this point, he can't expect it.

The new defeat of the Qin State was made, and the hundred officials wrote to the King of Qin to severely punish Zhao Yi, but the King of Qin somehow suppressed the pressure of the hundred officials and still made him the palace supervisor of Chang'an, and led 100,000 recruits to the front line.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this Zhao Yi has seen Jing Ran, if he recognizes him, who knows what trouble will happen.

Now that they have entered the city, Xiaoyue's identity is still better not to be exposed, and his party does not have the documents of the Qin State and cannot live in the hotel, is it possible that the group has come to Ganzhou City and still sleeps on the street?

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the group had to split up to find a place to live. Jing Ran, of course, was on the way with Xiaoyue, anxiously looking for a place to live.

Finally, someone was willing to tell them, but it only cost some money. But the man just said that there was a temple of the Western Buddha in the west of the city, and you could try it.

This so-called Western Buddha is a new religion from the land of Tianzhu in the West, because the Qin State is located in the west of Zhongzhou, the first stop of these missionary monks naturally arrived in the Qin State, but I don't know if this temple can take them in for one night.

The group came to the temple gate with a suspicious attitude.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the temple, he saw that the gate was closed, so Jing Ran had no choice but to step forward and knock on the door.

"Anyone?"

After a long while, I finally heard footsteps.

"Squeak"

The door seemed to be extremely reluctant to open, and it made a tooth-aching sound.

As soon as the gate opened, I saw a monk standing at the door: 'You have come here in the middle of the night, what are you doing?' ’

Jing Ran saw that the monks were not very old, and seemed to ignore their group.

"Trouble the little master to report, our group wants to spend the night in Guibao Land, hoping to be contained."

"Go, go, what do we do here, a group during the day, a group at night, go and go."

With the impatience on the face of the little monk, he was about to close the door, but it was all here, how could you easily drive it away.

A sergeant of the cavalry guard hurriedly pushed the door shut.

"Please let me know."

Jing Ran still smiled, but there was an extra string of money in his hand.

"Don't try to dirty the little monk's eyes with these blockages."

That being said, the little monk's hand was honest enough to take the string of money.

"Wait a minute, I'll report it."

"Then it's troublesome for the little master."

Jing Ran watched the little monk leave, smiled and shook his head, this kind of method of giving people money and eliminating disasters for himself was absolutely unthinkable for him before, but since this period of time, he has experienced too much, and he has long learned the so-called so-called human feelings.

Jing Ran looked back at Xiao Yue, who had been kidnapped by him, and shook his head apologetically.

After a while, the little monk opened the door and came out again.

"Everyone, please come in, my master promised to take you in for the night."

He made a gesture of please.

It's still easy to use money. Jing Ran thought in his heart, and took Xiaoyue into the temple first.

Don't look don't know, look startled, originally thought that this temple is slightly better than the ordinary residence, but I didn't expect, there is a hole in it, as soon as you enter the door, you see a huge lotus pond, the avenue is divided into two sides, after the lotus pond and then go forward to see a very majestic building, the building lintel on the big book "treasure solemn" four words.

Although these buildings are still deficient compared to the palace of the king of Chu, but in this style, I really haven't seen it in other places, all the Xiao cavalry guard sergeants are dumbfounded, most of them are from humble backgrounds, where have they seen such a magnificent building, just a burst of amazement.

Not only that, but there seems to be a solemn voice coming out of the building.

Seeing their surprised expressions, the little monk felt slightly proud in his heart: "What a character my master is, this big courtyard is also the first in the world."

And just when everyone was surprised, Jing Ran stopped to listen to the sound of reading the scriptures from the hall of "Treasure Solemnity".

"Little master, this voice is..."

"Oh, it's my master doing the evening class."

Jing Ran listened quietly. Xiao Yue saw his strange appearance and walked over: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Jing Ran smiled slightly: "This voice is very good." ”

Xiaoyue doesn't quite understand, and I don't know what's good about this "mumbling".

"Listen to yourself, I'll go rest first."

After saying that, he walked into the backyard with the sergeants and married his own house.

And after Jing Ran got the permission of the little monk, he slowly listened to the sound of reading the scriptures alone, and walked to the "Baoxiang Solemn" hall.

I saw a monk dressed in linen clothes sitting under the huge Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall, and he didn't dare to disturb, but also learned from the monk to sit on the left side of the main hall with his legs crossed.

The monk didn't seem to notice Jing Ran's call, and was still reading his own scriptures. Although Jing Ran didn't understand, he felt that the sound of reading the Bible made people very clear, and he didn't bother at the moment, just sat quietly and listened.

"Qingshan has changed to Huangshan several times, and the world is always gone. There are three narrow realms in the eyes, and there is nothing in the heart. ”

After a while, the monk's reading of the scriptures stopped.

"When the distinguished guests arrived, the poor monks never came away to greet them, and they hoped to forgive their sins."

Saying that, the monk turned around, and saw an old monk who was nearly sixty years old with a kind face, folded his hands, and greeted Jing Ran.

"Hello master." Jing Ran also followed the monk's example and returned the salute.

"Master, I just heard you say, 'Qingshan has changed into Huangshan several times, and the world is full of things, and you don't do it. There are three narrow realms in the eyes, and there is nothing in the heart. I am puzzled, and I hope the master can answer a question or two. ”

The monk smiled slightly, "The donor is polite." ”

The monk replied with a salute and said leisurely: "Everything in this world is the same, the troubles are like this, the happiness is also the same, the environment is created by the heart, the heart is the master, the heart has no material desires, and there is no cliff in the sea and sky between every square inch." Open-minded, like the rising sun in the sky, there is nowhere to hide. We come to this world, everyone has their own destiny, some people are born with troubles, and some people will let go of everything and follow their hearts in the face of choice. I don't know what kind of person the donor is? ”

Jing Ran listened to the monk's words and fell into deep thought.

"yes, what would it be like if you were faced with a choice? Is it like I didn't hesitate to take Satsuki? ”

"Master, I'm now on the path I was forced to choose."

Jing Ran thought for a while, then looked up and replied.

When the monk heard his answer, he smiled slightly: "The donor is a person who understands." This person's life has not been his choice since birth. ”

The monk paused and said: "You see that between the great powers of Zhongzhou, the conquests are continuous, and there are countless casualties, in just a few days, more than 100,000 people have been killed and injured in Qin and Zhao, and those who died on the battlefield really chose to die there?" ”

"This man was born into the world with all kinds of suffering."

Jing Ran was puzzled and asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

The monk said, "We Buddhists say that people have eight sufferings, what are they? ”

The monk paused and said, "The eight sufferings of life, the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of not being able to ask for it, and the suffering of the five yin and the blazing prosperity. This life is all bitter. ”

"The pain of being born in a lifetime, the pain of pregnancy in October, and the pain when leaving the mother's body is what we can imagine now, crying as soon as you are born, this is the first suffering."

"Your book says that justice is white in the world, and the nobles will not spare their heads. Who can avoid this, the vision is vast, the hair is pale, and the appearance of the alluring city will also become the shape of a dragon bell. ”

"This third suffering is sickness, who has not been tormented by illness in life? If you are seriously ill, you will lose all your wealth in an instant. ”

"This fourth suffering is the suffering of death, who in this world does not want to live a long life in the world, the emperors and generals of the past dynasties, ask the immortals for medicine, but which one has really achieved immortality?"

"Sadness and sadness, love and love are new acquaintances, the biggest suffering in the world, in the eyes of the poor monks, is a 'don't' word, life farewell, death farewell, thousands of miles long, eventually scattered, if the father and son, if the enemy is the enemy, this suffering is inevitable."

"This person is in the world, he loves and kills each other, can he be the master? This is the Resentment Society. ”

"How many people in this world are desperately seeking one thing, but there are a few who are really successful, and after they are full, they think about other desires. The desires on the road of life will never be satisfied, such people will always be addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves, this is what they can't ask for. ”

"All these sufferings are caused by the five yin blazing vigorous, the color yin is blazing, the four major imbalances, and there is the suffering of disease. Accept the yin and the fire, accept the separation, so that all the sufferings turn to the extreme: want to be yin and prosperous, want to pursue each other, and there is love and parting, resentment will be, and you can't ask for all suffering. The line is blazing, and all the karma is the cause of the later retribution, and because of the line, the flow is non-stop, and there is the pain of old age. Knowing the yin is blazing, confusion is created, three generations are circulating, and there is the pain of life and death. ”

"This is what we Buddhists call the suffering of life. The life and changes of all things in the world are in it, thinking about the strife in the world, and the major princes are thinking about seeking their own happiness from these sufferings, but it is not only themselves who suffer, but also the common people. ”

Jing Ran had never heard such remarks, and after listening to the monk, he thought of his father, the people who died in battle, and even the Jing Yu who 'couldn't ask for it'. This person's desires can destroy everything, and the misery hidden under these desires is seen by a few people.

Grandfather didn't, Jingyu didn't, and neither did Zhongzhou Tianzi.

But fortunately, today I met a monk in this temple who solved the confusion in my heart, and if I can bear the suffering of the first class in this world, I can become the first class person in this world.

Thinking of this, Jing Ran bowed his head to the monk.

"The master untied my heart knot and let me see a new world, thank you master."

The monk returned the salute.

"The fate of the world is like this."

After saying that, the monk got up and went to the back hall, where he was never seen again.

And Jing Ran was still in the main hall reminiscing about what the monk said.
