Chapter 3: The Sutra of Many Hearts
"As for the third thing, it has to do with you. β
Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at Zheng Qing with burning eyes.
"Something to do with me?" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes, didn't seem surprised, and hummed weakly: "Anyway, what's the matter......
"You're sick. Xiao smiled and said word by word.
"Am I sick?" Zheng Qing repeated the doctor's words, and after chewing for a while, he was furious: "You're sick! Your brain has been eaten by zombies! Why are you scolding!!"
"Who cursed?" Xiao Xiao blinked, looking dazed, but he still habitually retorted: "Moreover, don't zombies suck blood and eat meat? Few zombies eat the brains of wizards...... Only demons have this habit. β
When Zheng Qing heard this, he suddenly became angry.
"Whew, whew, take a deep breath and don't get angry...... He's just missing a string in his brain, don't be like a fool......" The young scholar forcibly suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and used Master Ah Q's Spiritual Victory Method, constantly hinting that he should stay calm.
After repeated repeats, he was finally able to speak calmly.
"Why do you say I'm sick? The young student gritted his teeth and asked again.
"Well, in fact, saying 'you are sick' is a bit rough in terms of wording, to be precise, you are mentally ill. Xiao Xiao frowned, trying to describe Zheng Qing's state in more precise language.
But he clearly ignores the magic of language.
Zheng Qing had just subsided a bit of anger, and he couldn't hold it back anymore under this sentence of 'mentally ill', and for a while anger rose from his heart to his guts, screamed, jumped up, and pounced to beat the doctor.
A few people next to him hurriedly stepped forward and dragged them apart.
"How is it," Xiao Xiao lifted his crooked glasses, turned his head to look at the other members of the Knights of the Guilty Order, and paused with his eyes focused on Shi Yuan.
"Ignorance, irritability, uncertainty of mind, and the karma and fruits of the beginning, are all taken in the middle...... Zheng has indeed fallen into an obstacle of knowledge. The little monk twisted the rosary and pondered: "Let the little monk think about this matter." β
Without waiting for others to ask, Xiao Xiao looked at Zheng Qing and explained, "Your spirit is very sensitive, and you are easily affected by various emotions from the outside world. β
"Originally, it wasn't a big deal, and many wizards wanted to have that kind of acuity. β
"But you've gotten a little worse since the school lab exploded that dayβsince the shadow you left behind, to be exactβand you can't say that your temperament has changed drastically, but anyway, your current state gives a very subtle feeling. β
"It's just that the situation is not so bad that it needs to be reported to the school and forced treatment...... According to the book, in this case, some simple self-care is more effective than going to a therapist. β
"It just so happens that our knights have a master who has studied in the spiritual field......" Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at the little monk next to him.
"Ashamed, ashamed. Shi Yuan waved his hand again and again, hesitated for a moment, and added: "According to your previous description, as well as his current symptoms, Zheng Qing is probably due to the influx and outflow of short-term memories, which has led to mental fragility and cognitive impairment. It really hasn't reached the point of schizophrenia......"
Zheng Qing laughed dryly twice.
Faced with two partners who seemed to be sincerely trying to solve his troubles, he had to repeatedly suppress the anger that kept surging in his heart.
"How to recuperate. He asked simply.
"The little monk happens to have a scripture here, which is very suitable for this symptom. Shi Yuan took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Zheng Qing.
"The Heart Sutra of Mokophiroparamita?" Zheng Qing read the name of this sutra word by word, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Then he opened it with his hand, but found that the content of this extremely thin book was very small, a total of one page before and after, and the number of words should be less than 300 words.
This "Heart Sutra" is the "Diamond Sutra" to subdue its heart, made more than 2,000 years ago, introduced to the East about 1,800 years ago, the first copy is translated by the monk Zhiqian Master of the Yan family, and now this book is said to be Xuanzang Master when he traveled west, taught by Wuchao Zen Master. β
"All two hundred and six crosses, concise and meaningful, few words but deep in meaning, can best cut off the obstacles of knowledge, often praise for the benefit of the body and mind, the most able to subdue the mind and the horse, cut off the obstacles of knowledge, and see the emptiness. β
Zheng Qing listened to Xiao Xiao and Shi Yuan's explanations on the side, and couldn't help but recite this scripture silently a few times. I don't know if it's because of psychological suggestion, but just after reading it a few times, he suddenly felt lighter, and many of the troubles and sorrows that had plagued his heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, and a lot disappeared.
Just as he was reading comfortably, the door of classroom 403 slammed open, and a familiar voice shouted loudly from afar.
"So you're all here!"
"I've been looking for you for a long time...... Just after class, Amber said that she could try her luck here, but she didn't expect to actually run into you. He is worthy of being a soothsayer for our hunting team. β
Andrew Taylor squeezed in through the door with a big grin, followed by several other hunters from the Ouroboros Hunting Team.
The members of the Sin Hunting Team who were originally sitting together stood up one after another, looking vigilantly at these 'guests' who came without telling them.
"Is there something wrong?" Zheng Qing put down the scripture in his hand, his tone slightly dissatisfied.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions. Andrew shook his stubby arm, and the ten bright magic rings on his fingers were dizzy.
When he got closer, he looked at Zheng Qing and added with a smile: "I just want to say hello to you...... I thought Amber had miscalculated again this time, but I didn't expect it to actually touch you. β
Zheng Qing tilted his head and looked at the young master of the Taylor family, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"If you want to find us, just come to the classroom and find it!" said the young student in a gentle tone: "I have never missed class, and you can't find ...... if you don't exist."
"It's not the same these days. Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up and interrupted him: "In the past few days, you have only entered the classroom after the bell rang for class, and then ran away without a trace as soon as the bell rang...... Andrew did look for you a few times, but he passed you by. β
"Then you can go to the dormitory to find it!" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows.
"Strangers can't enter our dorm without an invitation. This time, it was the fat man Xin who spoke, and he somehow touched the bag of beef jerky again, squeaking and chewing.
"I'm more concerned about Amber's abilities than about that. Xiao Xiao's gaze slid over Andrew and landed on a yellow-robed wizard behind him: "In such a serious disturbance environment as the school, you can accurately divinate our location...... It's just amazing. β
