Chapter 9: Retreat
Early the next morning, Gao Feng asked Yang Peng to have morning tea, and then went to the hospital to visit Liu Zhenyi. Halfway to the teahouse, there was a shouting and scolding in front of me, so I took a closer look. I saw the owner of a snack bar driving away a monk in shabby clothes: "Lao Tzu hasn't opened today, and when I see a bald head, I'm angry, go quickly!" β
The monk held the bowl in his hand, bowed his head and remained silent, allowing the boss to scold. Gao Feng was about to step forward to persuade him, but he saw a middle-aged woman walking out of the snack bar, who seemed to be the proprietress of the shop, and she said as she walked: "Lao Zheng, you have forgotten that I often say that you want to make money in harmony, and you should change this stinky temper." A few steamed buns aren't worth a few dollars, so let's do a good deed. She came to the monk and asked; What does the master want to eat? β
The monk bowed: "Whatever the donor gives, the poor monk will eat." β
"You said it yourself!" The snack bar owner rolled his eyes, smiled, took a few meat buns, and put them in the bowl.
The monk did not speak, but bowed silently, and then turned and left. The owner of the snack bar looked at his departing back and snorted: "The monk who eats meat, eighty percent is fake!" β
Gao Feng saw clearly from the side, and thought to himself: "There are still monks begging for alms? According to my grandfather, only Theravada Buddhism has maintained this tradition, and Chinese Buddhism has long since become commercial Buddhism. He hurriedly caught up with him, stopped in front of the monk, and said, "The master is polite!" β
"What advice does the donor have?" The monk replied, he was of medium height, yellow-skinned, and about forty years old.
"Just now, the owner of the snack bar deliberately gave the master a few meat buns, obviously wanting the master to break the ring, didn't the master see it?"
"Giving is a good deed, and what the donor gives, the poor monk receives." The monk smiled faintly.
"Monks also eat meat?"
"Dervishes begging is a tradition of more than 2,000 years of Buddhist disciples in the Southern Tradition, since it is begging, will you still be picky about your choice? As for Han Buddhism not eating meat, that was the rule set by Emperor Wu of Liang. The monk always had a calm smile on his face, giving people a sense of comfort and tranquility.
Gao Feng smiled embarrassedly: "It turns out that I am lonely and unheard, I don't know what to call the master's name?" Which temple to live in? I'll be sure to visit you another day. β
"The poor monk's name is innocent, and he has always traveled all over the world, and he has no fixed place to live."
Gao Feng felt a pity in his heart, but it was not good to pester others on the street for too long. So he took out a few hundred-yuan bills: "This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." β
Wuji waved his hand again and again: "Not grasping money is the most basic precept of Buddhism, the good intentions of the donor are understood by the poor monk, he will be seen again one day!" He bowed, and slowly disappeared into the morning mist.
Gao Feng and Yang Peng drank morning tea and came to the hospital. Liu Zhenyi has woken up. After some greetings, Yang Peng told Liu Zhenyi about the little ghost.
Liu Zhenyi's face was pale, and his teeth were clucking: "It must be a ghost from a Taiwanese boss!" Not only did he rob my girlfriend, but he also wanted to kill me. If you don't take revenge, you're in vain! He gritted his teeth for a long time before turning back to Gao Feng and said: "That Taiwanese are rich and powerful, Mingdou is afraid that I will not be able to take revenge in my life, since my brother has the ability to destroy his little ghost, please make this breath for me!" β
Gao Feng didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but he couldn't stand Liu Zhenyi's bitter pleading, and Yang Peng said good things on the side. He thought for a moment: "After you are discharged from the hospital, give me the photo and address of the Taiwanese man, and I will help you teach him a lesson!" β
"Thank you, brother!" Liu Zhenyi held Gao Feng's hand tightly, and couldn't help but be warm. Suffering mental and physical blows in a row, this burly man was almost on the verge of collapse.
Gao Feng said goodbye to Liu Zhenyi and returned to his bookstore. Xiaolan had already opened the store early. Gao Feng saw that Xiaolan was not in a good mood, so he teased her: "Xiaolan, you should also find a boyfriend, do you want Brother Feng to introduce you to one?" β
"Hmm." Xiaolan answered, noncommittal. Gao Feng touched a soft nail, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head. He has always been most afraid of trouble, even feelings, since he had Yunni, he has been very satisfied, and he doesn't want to be involved in other women's emotional entanglements. If you change to someone else, you have this kind of opportunity to get the moon first, I'm afraid you want to take it all.
He walked into the cashier, turned on his computer, and replied to Yunnie's message as usual. One of the emails from Winnie caught his attention. The email said that the US NASA photography satellite recently photographed a huge planet-shaped UFO near Neptune, and according to the speed of its flight, it will reach the vicinity of the Earth in about a year. At present, scientists from various countries are paying close attention to the trajectory of the flying object and its possible impact on the earth.
"Is it finally here? Is this what is called 'Nibiru falling from the sky'? Gao Feng let out a long breath, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring at the ceiling, letting his thoughts run wild, flying freely. It's what he likes to do the most, to be in a comfortable position, sometimes just let his thoughts wander uncontrollably, and sometimes he just doesn't want to do anything and let his mind go blank.
After thinking about it in his mind, he didn't know how long it took him to suddenly think that although the Shadow Lightaber was powerful, the problem was that he had to concentrate to open it. According to his estimates, if there is no interference, it will take him six or seven minutes at the earliest. The idea in the fantasy novel moves, and the plot of the sword light seems to be unlikely to appear on him. Without a quick way to settle down, the Shadow Sword can only be used as a means of sneak attack, and it is impossible for it to be effective in face-to-face combat.
I remember my grandfather once said that boxing is a conditioned reflex to practice force and muscles. Meditation is about training mental power. Due to the limitation of physical strength, the story of pulling out the mountain can only appear in martial arts novels, and the current scientific training methods have basically squeezed the potential of the human body to the limit. On the contrary, since spiritual power is not bound by matter, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Compared with the words of Grandpa and the alien life Daisy, improving mental power is the top priority! The reason why I can't concentrate and open the eye of heaven at any time is, in the final analysis, my mental power is not strong enough.
Gao Feng thought for a while and decided to wait for a long retreat after dealing with Liu Zhenyi's matter. He has practiced meditation for more than ten years, and the longest time to enter meditation is only one night, which is estimated to not even be considered meditation, but only meditation.
Two days later, Liu Zhenyi and Yang Peng came to the bookstore. Liu Zhenyi hung his head and told Gao Feng that the Taiwanese had run away, and according to the employees of his company, he left Gong Mei and returned to Taiwan alone, and there was probably no hope for revenge.
"If you run away, you will run, and in a year's time, the world will not know what the road will become, we still do our own thing, and the bad guys will always have retribution." Gao Feng comforted him while pulling up Yunni's email to show the two.
"Looks like you're telling the truth." Yang Peng sighed.
"Go, go, it turns out that you haven't believed me all along......" Gao Feng was angry and funny, he fiddled with the telekinesis instrument on his wrist, let Yang Peng concentrate, and then pressed the button, and the screen showed that the telekinetic strength value was 113. When Liu Zhenyi was tested again, the mental strength value was only a pitiful 87.
"What kind of high tech is this?" Liu Zhenyi asked with interest.
Gao Feng smiled and said, "This is the last time I was in Shennongjia, the aliens gave me the telekinesis to test my telekinesis. Originally, I promised her not to show off, but in order to increase your trust in me, I still let you see it. β
"Just this one? Aliens are too stingy, right? Yang Peng pursed his lips.
"There's also the telekinetic weapon that killed the imp last time and a space belt." Gao Feng decided not to hide the two anymore.
"With such good things, let's open our eyes!"
"The telekinetic weapon needs to be set in to be turned on, so let you see the magic of the space belt." Gao Feng held the laptop in his hand, and with a movement of his mind, the laptop disappeared out of thin air. During the whole process, Gao Feng's palm did not move in the slightest.
It'sβit's impossible. Yang and Liu stammered.
"This silver belt around my waist is the latest product of the alien space technique, it looks like a belt on the outside, but there is thirty square meters of space inside. I just put my computer in my belt. β
"It's kind of like a storage ring from a fantasy novel." Yang Peng shook his head, and Liu Zhenyi sighed: "If you let us see it earlier, maybe Gong Mei won't quarrel with me, and she won't leave me......"
Seeing Gao Feng's embarrassed expression, Yang Peng glanced at Liu Zhenyi: "Why are you still mentioning that woman?" Water-based poplars, scattered may be your blessing! β
Gao Feng hurriedly played a round game: "Don't mention the past again, you better hurry up and train your mental power, I plan to start the retreat tomorrow." β
"Retreat? How long is it closed? β
"About seven or eight days, see if you can improve your mental power, in addition, these things on my body, please keep them secret, I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble." Gao Feng said with a serious expression. Seeing the two nodding in agreement, Gao Feng's mind moved, and the laptop reappeared in his hand out of thin air.
Xiaolan happened to walk by at this time, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Feng, when did you learn to do magic?" β
When he went home for dinner in the evening, Gao Feng told his parents that he wanted to live with his grandfather for a few days, because he had often run around with this grandfather since he was a child, and his parents didn't care, but his mother asked the most, when would he take his girlfriend home to see, some time ago, because his mother asked tightly, Gao Feng mentioned Yunni's matter, and when he saw his mother asking, he told her to take Yunni home immediately after Yunni was transferred back to the south.
Early the next morning, Gao Feng found his grandfather practicing boxing in the park as usual and told him about his plan to retreat. My grandfather agreed and promised to help him protect the Fa.
