I chatted with Wang Yue again, and then withdrew from the bardo realm, the night was already deep, and I didn't feel sleepy.

When I came to the sofa outside, I tossed and turned, muttering the name, "Liu Yang......

I got up very early the next day, and while Li Damin hadn't come out yet, I called the mysterious Jieling. After the phone was connected, a calm voice came from inside: "Which one?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm looking for a bell." For some reason, my heart beat violently.

"I am." Said over there.

I opened my mouth and paused for a moment: "That's the case, I'm Wang Yue's friend......"

"She's gone, isn't she?" Asked over there.

I said yes.

I see.

Then he asked me, are you in Wang Yue's house?

I said yes.

He said, "You leave now, I'll go to Wang Yue's house in an hour, and you don't care about the rest, leave it to me to take care of it, okay?" ”

His voice did not fluctuate, it was flat, but for some reason, with an indescribable aura, irrefutable. All I could say yes was, "Okay."

No other nonsense, the phone hung up. I went to the bathroom to wash my face, looked at my watch, and hurried to the inner room to wake up Li Damin. Li Damin asked me in a daze.

I briefly explained the process and told him that in about an hour, someone would take Wang Yue's body and clean up the mess here.

Li Damin was very conscious, he didn't ask about the experience, he sobered up and went to wash. We packed up, packed our things and took our things with us, and exited the room half an hour later.

I stood in the corridor with him, and Li Damin was a little stunned: "What's next?" Game over? ”

"How is that possible?" I said, "I'm still looking for Liu Yang." ”

Li Damin's gaze fell on my wrist, staring at the psychic bracelet in deep thought. I frowned: "Damin, don't worry about this bracelet, I won't lend it to you again." ”

Li Damin shook his head and sighed. We went straight to work, and when I was working in the unit, I was absent-minded, and my mind was always thinking about the realm of Yin, Yin Wen...... These things.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Li Damin came over and asked me if I wanted to eat something together.

I went to a nearby restaurant with him, and Li Damin ordered a few dishes, and suddenly said: "The unit is going to promote me today, and the boss has talked to me, and he wants to transfer me to Shanghai to take charge of the region over there." ”

"That's a good thing." I say.

"I pushed." Li Damin wiped his hands: "I told the leader that I don't want to be the supervisor anymore, I just want to do sales quietly." ”

I looked at him: "Damin, are you crazy?" Isn't it crazy? What a rare opportunity. ”

"It's really rare." Li Damin nodded: "However, a person's energy and time are limited, and it is impossible for me to spend my time on things that are meaningless to life." ”

I shook my head: "What a big reversal of what you said. You will always get married and have children in the future, buy a house and a car. If you are promoted to Shanghai, your vision and platform will be different, and when the time comes," I paused: "You can still promote me." ”

"Hehe," Li Damin smiled, not wanting to explain more, "Everyone has their own ambitions." I've set a goal for my life. ”

What I asked.

Li Damin looked at the traffic outside the window: "That is to find the 'way'." This 'Tao' is not a Taoist Tao, it is not a certain sect, it is not so narrow. This 'Tao' refers to the law of the development of things and the world, and I have to look for this law all my life. Other things, what promotions and raises, working hard, marrying a wife and having children, etc...... All to serve this purpose. I don't reject worldly activities, and interpersonal interactions are part of the Tao. ”

Looking at his eyes, I don't know why I have a strange feeling, and he seems to be drifting away, maybe I didn't recognize him in the first place.

He looked at me: "Do you think I'm too stupid and too mysterious?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "I can't understand it, I'm afraid it's not something that the mainstream people can understand, everyone is busy earning money, enjoying a good life, and being a good person." ”

"yes." Li Damin said: "Then do you think which of these people is truly happy and joyful? They are nothing more than going from one dead game to another, from one cage to another. Those who are skillful work and those who know are worried, and those who are incompetent have nothing to ask for. Eat and swim, like a boat that is not tied. ”

I can't keep up with his current pattern and ideas, and if Li Damin wants to develop like this again, he is not far from shaving his hair into the mountains, I think.

As he was talking, Li Damin came to call, he made a gesture to stop talking and answer the phone.

He said "uh-huh" a few times, looked at me, and said yes to the phone, he was there too. Then he made a few more hmm-huh and hung up the phone.

I knew the call had something to do with me, so I was busy asking what was going on.

Li Damin said: "It was Uncle Zhong who called, he said that there was an opportunity to make money, and asked us if we should do it?" ”

"What opportunity to make money?" I hurriedly asked.

Li Damin said: "I didn't elaborate on the phone, just let us go to him early tomorrow morning." ”

"But I still have to go to work......" I said.

"You decide for yourself, I'm going." After Li Damin finished speaking, he stopped talking about the matter and started eating.

I wanted to explore the world with Li Damin and find my mother. But the current company can't give up, and it takes a lot of effort to find such a job.

During the meal, we didn't have any conversation, and when we walked out of the restaurant after eating, it was already brightly lit.

He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we went back on our backs, each to our own house. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, and I have an intuition that if I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to come in in the future.

When I got home, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that I was standing in front of a crossroads, which direction should I go in my destiny?

One is the path of a normal person, working hard, getting promoted and raising, marrying a wife and having children, and then busy with these things. One is to choose Li Damin, Uncle Zhong, and the realm of the bardo to explore the secrets of another world, what worldly benefits it can bring me, I can't see it for the time being, but I will live a more flavorful and meaningful life. The most important thing is that I want to save my mother.

I finally made up my mind, picked up the phone and called the department boss and told him that I wanted to take a few days off. The boss was very angry and scolded me directly on the phone, Lin Cong, I have always valued you, but what is your working status now?! I can't keep going to work all day, and I want to talk to you alone these days.

"You don't have to look for it." I said calmly, "Boss, if it really makes you embarrassed, I'll resign." ”

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and I felt the brief silence before the storm, and sure enough, the boss was furious, saying that you should think about it. The phone hung up.

I sent a message to Li Damin on WeChat, telling him that I won't go to work tomorrow and will look for you early in the morning.

Li Damin replied quickly, with a smile on his face, and in one sentence, you finally made the most correct choice. Then tell me that I won't have to look for him tomorrow, just go to Uncle Zhong in Jingming Mansion together.

After making an appointment, I rested peacefully, feeling more secure than I had ever felt before.

The next morning, when I arrived at Jingming Building at the appointed time, I saw Li Damin standing at the top of the stairs. He laughed when he saw me, and handed me the things he was holding in his hand: "I guessed that you haven't eaten, I just bought it, and it's still hot, you can eat it quickly." Let's go up after eating. ”

I looked at him: "Damin, you won't be really Ki, right? ”

"Fuck your uncle," Li Damin said, "can't a man be careful?" The two of us talked and laughed and went upstairs to Uncle Zhong's office.

When he arrived, Uncle Zhong was copying the scriptures, dipping his brush in cinnabar, and writing fly-headed small letters on yellow rice paper, rows of small characters, which were comfortable and atmospheric when he looked at them. I asked what it was about. Uncle Zhong said: "This is called the Nanhua Sutra, which is a Taoist classic. You two are sitting, and it's a little bit closer. ”

Li Damin and I sat next to him and watched him write, Uncle Zhong didn't care about our waiting at all, and wrote attentively and slowly. We waited for more than half an hour before Uncle Zhong finished writing. Put down the pen and smile apologetically at us: "The two guests have arrived, and the tea has not been served yet." ”

He went into the back room to get busy. It didn't take long to brew tea and come out. It's the first time I've drunk Uncle Zhong's tea, it's fragrant and delicious.

After a few pleasantries, Uncle Zhong suddenly asked me, "Xiaolin, have you seen Ma Danlong?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth or lie, and when I thought that I couldn't tell a lie in front of a real person, I generously admitted it.

Uncle Zhong didn't continue to ask about the details, and asked lightly, "Is there anything to gain?" ”

"There are probably two gains," I said, "one is that I have found my goal and direction, and I know what to do." The second is that Ma Danlong taught me how to use a psychic bracelet. I shook my wrist.

Uncle Zhong's eyes lit up: "That's good, I'm going to give you two an important commission, if you know how to use a psychic bracelet, that's the best." If this task is done well, the two of you will eat and drink without worry, and you will get a lot of money. ”

Li Damin smiled: "Uncle Zhong, as soon as you said it yesterday, I knew that there was a big job, and we came here for money." ”

I looked at him in surprise. Li Damin smiled, looking greedy for money.
