The breeze is blowing, the moonlight is sultry, walking on the street at the beginning of the lanterns, passing by the scripture halls, watching the flow of people on the street slowly become bustling, looking at the happy light on their faces, what a clear night.

Xiao Cong and Hongxiang, who had left from Yuanhou Tower, had been wandering the street for a long time, and he didn't ask much about what Hongxiang was doing when he was chatting with that sister in the room, only knowing that when he saw Hongxiang walking out of a certain room on the ground floor of Yuanhou Building and was about to go to the next room, the little guy's whole face was red.

Knowing himself and knowing that the other side is invincible, Xiao Cong thought about it and weighed it again and again, and finally did not take the suggestion of the restaurant shopkeeper, twelve ring streets, twelve scripture halls, how can he go through these twelve scripture halls, and listen to the mysterious scriptures before he can act rashly, otherwise if he is kicked out because of blind inquiry before he finishes listening to the scriptures, it will not be a big loss!

So he decided to take a break until he had heard the scriptures—preferably memorized—before making the next move.

Walking on the street that was still a little bustling under the moonlight, Xiao Cong was still thinking about it in his mind, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, the sister in the Yuanhou Lou really gave him too much inspiration, or it led his thinking to another world, this world is worth him to keep exploring and thinking, all this is about the Tao, only about the truth, let him start again from a basic person.

He tried to broaden his horizons from the entire Perfection of the United States to the entire Xuanzhen Realm and even the Heaven and Earth, thinking about the sentence "Perhaps, this is the reason why the Perfection of the United States cannot exist in the world", and the sentence "When the people in this whole can be tolerant and understanding, then the whole can remain beautiful, but what is the so-called tolerance and understanding? It is just to face others and oneself", and that sentence" In any case, it is all out of fate, and it is precisely because it is all out of fate, so from the deepest point of view, we are all the same poor people", gradually felt that there was a little glimmer of light in the sea of knowledge, but now he can't see it clearly, and he can't grasp it, but that strong yearning is indeed very real, he is eager to catch him, and he is also eager to understand it, but its erratic and hazy in the sea of knowledge does make him helpless for the time being, so he can only follow the sister's words and keep thinking, which is an instruction from the heart.

Although he has not yet fully understood this mystery, but there is some understanding after all, at least now he has understood that all people in this world, no, all living beings are equal, and they are all fatalistic and become pitiful, and the classification of thousands of living beings is not because of those innate things, but the lack of tolerance and understanding in our hearts, we should have sympathized with each other, but the fact is that we have been killing each other, what is the reason for all this? Prejudices, obsessions, and other sins.

But human nature must be complete, the world must also be complete, the integrity of the world and the integrity of human nature do not conflict, the contradiction is that we can never accept our own shortcomings, maybe we can raise our eyes a little higher, will think

Turned into a needle, piercing deeper - it turns out that diversity and mixing are the essence of heaven and earth, and a pure existence like the complete American degree cannot, of course, survive in the world for a long time.

And what role to play in this world is ultimately up to one's choice. ”

This gratuitous feeling suddenly appeared in Xiao Cong's mind, although he didn't know the meaning of it, but he believed that it must be right,

"Yes, that's it!"

That night, the two walked into a house, made a bunk to live for a night, although they were told at the beginning that they were outsiders, but the male and female owners of this family were like the couple they met who sold breakfast, the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the sister in the Yuanhou Building, they were not afraid of people at all, probably because they knew that this was another time and space independent of history, and it was meaningless for outsiders to hurt them.

The next morning goodbye to the master's house, Xiao Cong took Hongxiang back to the first ring street, ready to start from the first ring street, the twelve links of the lecture hall walked through, according to yesterday's memory, it takes about an hour to listen to the scriptures in the scripture hall, from the previous ring street to the next link of the scripture hall It takes about two hours, so calculated, in addition to the time to eat and sleep, it will take at least four days to listen to the twelve scriptures one by one, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is really a hurry, the old saying that you want to speed up is not in vain, what you hear and feel can not be digested as much as possible, and it is a waste of time and a small matter, It is a big thing to confuse his thinking, anyway, it has been slow down for so long, and it is not bad for ten days and half a month, and finally Xiao Cong decided to visit a scripture hall every day, once is not enough, then go again, the matter of the fire spirit is not trivial, but if you can try your best to comprehend this mysterious scripture, even if it is to bring a little fur to the outside world to give it to mortals, it is also a merit, compared with grabbing the fire spirit, this matter seems to be more meaningful.

Xiao Cong arranged the itinerary like this, the happiest thing is to eat and drink all the way to Hongxiang who never stops, this kid is extremely fond of several snacks on the street and never gets tired of eating, every time he passes by, he has to stuff his pockets with him, and he can't wait to take the snack stalls with him, a guest who patronizes so frequently, the stall owner has long remembered him, every time he sees him coming from the flow of people, he is smiling, by the way, he introduces several new things that Hongxiang has never tasted, but the little guy is really not familiar with the customs, every time no matter how the stall owner recommends, he still picks the previous ones。

Every time he comes out of the scripture hall, Xiao Cong always goes to the Chunxi Garden to sit down, drink two pots of good tea, listen to a few good plays, by the way, reminisce about the wonderful feelings in the scripture hall, sort out what he thinks and feels, and when it is late at night, he will find a family to stay overnight, and the days are leisurely, but he is troubled by the fact that the scripture is too difficult and obscure, no matter how hard he tries, he can't completely memorize it, as for the feelings, he has always remembered it from beginning to end.

The days passed like this, and in a trance I had walked through the twelve scripture halls, and when I passed by the Yuanhou Building on the Fifth Ring Street that day, I couldn't help but go in to visit him and tell him a lot

The sister of the news, of course, the date ended with Xiao Cong running away in disgrace, this sister, although she was still so serious when she talked heart-to-heart, but the sudden debauchery in her face still made Xiao Cong a little unbearable.

The twelve scripture halls have been walked through, although the deep meaning of the scriptures has not been fully understood, but Xiao Cong does not want to go a second time, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, greedy and chew too much, maybe this scripture can only be understood but not spoken, even if he goes around ten times and changes, he will not be able to memorize it after all, but it is only in vain to increase the obsession in his heart, and it is wise to let go at the right time.

Then there was only one thing left - as the shopkeeper of the restaurant said that day, go and meet the preacher in the church for a while.

The twelfth ring street, when it was ugly.

The lanterns hanging in front of the Zhu Gate on the street have all been extinguished, and there is no one empty, fortunately, the moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, and the stone pavement that is polished by the clogs is clearly swaying, Xiao Cong took Hongxiang from the Fifth Ring Street here, although separated by an inexplicable time and space, but after all, it is an acquaintance, before leaving, Xiao Cong did not forget to say goodbye to the sister in the Mandarin Hou Building.

After waiting outside the scripture hall for a while, the two walked into the scripture hall at seven o'clock.

The hall was quiet, the needles could be heard, and several long candles burned motionless, casting a large black shadow on the wooden ground, and by the candlelight, he looked at the place where the old man was sitting in the middle of the felt, and he couldn't see it clearly at first glance, because the white robe and white hair were the same color as the white felt, and it was not until he saw the folds of the white robe hidden in the felt, that he found that he was still sitting there motionless.

Xiao Cong took a deep breath, then exhaled a long time, took a few steps forward, and Hongxiang, who looked worried, followed Xiao Cong's steps closely, holding his breath and never gasping.

Xiao Cong clasped his hands, bowed down, and was about to speak, but saw the withered old man sitting on the pu felt slowly turned his head, the smile on his wrinkled face was still the same, and under the reflection of the moonlight, he didn't look panicked at all.

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The old man's voice sounded and gently reached Xiao Cong's ears.

Xiao Cong has seen too many strange things here, and when he heard the words of the withered old man at this time, his heart did not make much waves.

"Senior knew I was going to come here to look for you?"

The withered old man grinned,

"Every outsider who comes to the United States will have this experience, and you are no exception. ”

Xiao Cong was slightly stunned, but when he heard the old man's words, he continued:

"But you are different from them after all, because the person who gave you the answer is not me, but someone else, and he has been waiting for you. ”

Xiao Cong was silent, because things had exceeded his expectations, and he was left with only the right thing to do, and as for the rest, he had to improvise.

The withered old man stood up from the felt tremblingly, turned his head to Xiao Cong and said:

"Come with me. ”

Xiao Cong nodded, took Hongxiang's little hand, and followed the old man to the northwest corner of the scripture hall.

Surrounded by an ancient brazier

On the altar, three figures appeared out of thin air, it was Xiao Cong Hongxiang and the withered old man who had just disappeared from the northwest corner of the scripture hall.

The old man's empty sleeves slowly stretched forward, and he made a gesture of invitation tremblingly, and said:

"Two sons, please. ”

Xiao Cong and Hongxiang glanced at each other, and then bowed at the same time:

"Thank you, seniors. ”

Getting up and turning his head and walking down the altar, Xiao Cong couldn't help but glance back, and his eyes were a high black wall standing under the stars and moon, and he already knew in his heart where he was at this time, and his innate spiritual sense had unconsciously recovered as before, he smiled slightly, turned his head, reached out and hugged Hongxiang's shoulder, and shook off his steps and walked deeper into the unknown.
