"Well said, disturb you two, contemptible people, a little rude, I have been listening to you explain the true meaning of the Buddha for a long time, this is the best Buddhist scripture I have heard." The heroic young man standing not far from Chen Zhong walked over.

Horse skull? Chen Zhong's mind immediately presented a character, a man of the year in Yunnan's modern history, could it be him? Is it the lieutenant general of the army who was once a legend all his life, the Hui man Ma Cong?

So, Chen Zhong immediately got up and said, "Okay, friend, you're polite." Dare to ask if you are a local? ”

"The contemptible Ma Congzi Bo'an is studying in the Yunnan Army Armament Academy, and he will graduate in a few days." Ma Cong's habitual standing posture unabashedly explained his identity as a soldier.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be in awe, in his memory, Ma Cong was a rare general.

Ma Cong, after graduating from the Yunnan Army Armament Academy in 1905, participated in the Xinhai, the Patriotic War, the Protector Movement, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. When he was the first to protect the country, he swore a blood oath, and his iron bones were strong. He was one of the 39 senior generals of the Yunnan Army who defended the country and fought against Yuan.

During the Protectorate War of that year, he served as the commander of the First Mixed Brigade of the Yunnan Army, and led his troops to Sichuan to fight a decisive battle with the Sichuan warlords.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ma Cong served as the deputy commander of the Yunnan Military Region, responsible for recruiting and training the Yunnan anti-Japanese armed forces during the Yunnan War of Resistance and the Yunnan-Burma War of Resistance.

He successively served as regiment commander, brigade commander, chief of general staff of the Yunnan Army, acting governor, salt transportation envoy, director of the Department of Industry, director of the Department of Finance, and deputy commander of the lieutenant general of the Yunnan Military Region.

He also served as the president of the Yunnan Muslim National Salvation Association for a long time; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as a member of the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, a member of the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission.

"Fortunately, it turned out to be the military elite of the Army Armament Academy. Brother Ma also has his own views on the Buddha? Chen Zhong approached Ma Cong and said.

Ma Cong smiled and said: "I don't know too much, since I was a child, my mother sincerely worshiped the Buddha, but I don't know what the Buddha means." Later, when I grew up, I always felt that it was a superstition. Whenever I see pilgrims who worship Buddha sincerely, I always feel ignorant and ignorant.

Later, after experiencing some changes in life, and felt that the Buddha had the meaning of his wisdom, he couldn't think it through, so he went into the temple several times to ask the Buddha, but they used some mysterious words to listen to me, I was like listening to the book of heaven, and I still didn't understand the true meaning. No, I came here again today, and I still can't understand one or two of them.

However, I always think that the reason why Buddhism has been able to continue in China for thousands of years must be the true meaning of its existence. Because a religion or a doctrine can be passed down for so long, there must be truth hidden in it, so I want to explore it.

Just now, when I heard Mr. 's words, I realized that Mr. is really a master in this world. I am fortunate to meet you today, can you please teach me a little more? ”

Chen Zhong looked at this talented horse, and a thought sprouted in his heart, since I have crossed into the parallel space of this history, I will use my strength to change the trajectory of this history, why don't I take this brave lieutenant general for my own use? Thinking of this, Chen Zhong wanted to talk to Ma Cong for a while.

So he said, "I don't dare, I can exchange my views on the Buddha with Brother Ma."

For example, the incense burned by the Buddha is the meaning of faith, and the Buddha Shakyamuni once asked the good men and women who knelt down to worship him in the Mahavira Temple, whether you believe in the Buddha first and then see the Buddha, or believe in the Buddha after seeing the Buddha, and the good men and women are very confused. Mr. Ma: What is your understanding of the Buddha's question? ”

Ma Cong was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's better to believe in the Buddha before seeing the Buddha." ”

Chen Zhong continued: "Actually, the Buddha used the ritual of incense to tell us that the world is changed because of your persistent beliefs, and how firm your beliefs are, how wonderful your world will become. ”

Ma Cong was stunned and a little excited, he had never heard of such an explanation of Buddha incense.

Chen Zhong said: "Mr. Ma has seen the lotus Buddha lamp in front of the Buddha? The wick tells us to burn ourselves and illuminate others. It is a dedication to the well-being of the world. Although the lotus heart is bitter, the faint lotus fragrance and his elegant petals bring people noble enjoyment.

Just as our heroes in the troubled times, they gave up their small grievances and grievances, gave up their children's affections, took the world as their own responsibility, and rose up. These people are like this Buddha lamp, burning themselves and illuminating others. Even though there is a lot of pain in his heart, his most beautiful youth blooms on this desperate ruin, as elegant and pure as the petals of this lotus lamp.

Mr. Ma, the elite of the Chinese military in this era like you should dedicate what you have learned to the blessings of the world. ”

Ma Cong looked at Chen Zhong in surprise, this person's words went straight to his heart, he believed that the person opposite was by no means an idle person, seeing that he was young, but he had such lofty opinions, and his background was by no means ordinary.

So he stepped forward and said, "Who is the gentleman?" How to say such majestic words, contemptible people to apply for the Army Armament Academy, just to devote themselves to strengthening my China! I am still looking for a place to live and realize my ambition to serve the country. ”

Chen Zhong said lightly: "Mr. Ma, it is rare to have such ambitions. You have such talent, why worry about having no way to serve the country? ”

"Oh?" Ma Cong looked at Chen Zhong expectantly and said, "Could it be that Mr. can show the way for the contemptible?" ”

"Hainan Palace, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard that the King of Hainan in Hainan is a legendary figure, an idol of my generation, and a strange person in my China! The king of Hainan destroyed the Japanese West Sea Fleet, discouraged the Far East Fleet of the British Empire, abolished the "Lhasa Treaty", and punished the British invaders.

The behavior of the king of Hainan has greatly encouraged, and our generation should strive to move forward for the rise of China! What a glory it would be to be able to follow the king of Hainan and drive out the great powers! Ma Cong said with infinite reverence.

Chen Zhong looked at Ma Cong, who was intoxicated by the world of heroes, and said, "If you are given a chance to follow the king of Hainan to drive out the great powers and conquer the world, are you willing?" ”。
