Chapter XXVIII
Chapter XXVII
Originally, when she heard the news of the battle of Xincheng from Fang Qingyi, Coral called back, and her mother Xingzhiwei said that she should not worry too much, and there was no need to rush back to Xincheng, so as not to run into a troublesome battle. But now that the dust of the first catastrophe has settled, people who want to come to the Gate of Truth will not stay in Xincheng and die, Coral called back again, informing that he would go to Xincheng with Lan Zi, and after confirming that it was safe, he decided on this trip.
Lan Zi has a very close relationship with Coral in the past, and she also knew the identity of Coral's parents in the past, and she heard a lot of things from the girl, and knew that she was a high-level intellectual with cultivation and status. And Sango's parents actually knew about his existence, but the two had never met before, and this time Sango's words, he suddenly said that he wanted to make himself her brother, so he couldn't help but be startled, and his heart was a little cramped.
Several times in the past few years, he had thought about visiting Sango's parents officially, but Coral didn't care about it, and he was actually a little weak-hearted, so he never made the trip.
Before they met, Sango said that he wanted him to become the adopted son of the Xie family or something—although this proposal was said to come from Sango's very powerful grandfather, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
What the other party will think of him, whether he will think that he has damaged the coral or something, this is something he has been worried about before. After all, according to the standards of girls of the same age, Coral is really a little rebellious and uninhibited, he is older than her, and he can't play a guiding role, if Sango's parents care about this, he always can't shirk this responsibility.
The two left Shinjo to take the train to Shinga, it took half a day, at this time, in order to let the aftermath of the battle between Shinjo and the Gate of Truth pass, to avoid any messy conflict, the two wandered and traveled all the way, and when they saw a place with better scenery, they dragged a small suitcase and walked, and when they were bored, they could also fly in the sky, or go to the mountains to build a fire and make a barbecue or something, swaying all the way, and only in the afternoon of the third day did they enter the scope of Shinjo.
Compared to the industrial city of Shinga, the scale of Shinjo is not large, and the fighting that took place here a few days ago was concentrated inside the base circle, and the outside was not too involved. Of course, this is also relative to the severely damaged Shinga, the two of them went all the way to the base, and also saw that several houses outside were being renovated, and some of them were on fire or damaged, and Coral was very interested in introducing Lan Zi to what the broken building used to do, and then pulled Lan Zi to go to the small supermarket to buy gifts and fruits.
Most of the residents near the base know this quirky problem girl, and after greeting the round-faced shopkeeper in his fifties, Coral pulled Lan Zidong to run around, buying some cigarettes and alcohol and buying some fruits and daily necessities, the selected tobacco and alcohol seem to be stylized gift pairing, quite tacky, and the other half is actually too practical, except for some simple fruits, there is even a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of tofu.
"Anyway, when we meet for the first time, we always have to get something."
"Then why take shampoo and tofu."
"I'm running out of shampoo at home...... And this tofu is something I eat a lot. Coral said as a matter of course.
It seems that the fruit and daily necessities are what Coral wants to buy back by the way, as for tobacco and alcohol, it is just a stylized match, it looks like a gift, in fact, this is mainly because she is taking care of Lan Zi's mood, so that after the two walked out of this supermarket, Coral took a bottle of red wine that looked very high-end for a long time, and muttered: "Oh, this bottle seems to be returned by me before, I still have an impression......"
In fact, Xie Shuping and Xingzhiwei have no habit of smoking and drinking, and they receive many gifts every year, some of which are given to others, and the rest are basically thrown back into the gift shop. Lan Zi had heard these things about Sango, and felt a little embarrassed for a while, so she took the things by herself, and after leaving, maybe it was Coral who took them back to the gift shop.
All the way into the gate of the base where soldiers are standing guard, do a simple registration, and then you can faintly see the traces of damage to the base building in the distance, and the roads, woods, and communities in the vicinity are also damaged, but the construction and reconstruction work has been done in an orderly manner.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the road was occasionally passing by pedestrians or work vehicles, and it seemed to be a peaceful scene, but when I passed a road with a fountain, I suddenly saw someone I knew on the other side of the road.
There is a small green area dominated by trees, and there are several public facilities for fitness at the edge of the green belt, and in the middle are swing-like shelves with an iron bench hanging from it. A young girl was sleeping on the bench at this time, the girl was wearing a green dress, her figure was slender, her long hair was simply erected by three rubber bands, and she was lying there in the afternoon sun, and she fell asleep without any image, and even the air around her seemed to become a little lazy.
Chen Huiling, Chen Wenting, a little nun who leads the practice and likes to eat meat......
Lan Zi tilted his head, and the coral next to him had already run over: "Little thief"
Coral pushed the chair hard, quickly dodged away, the bench swung high on the swing frame, Chen Wenting opened her eyes in a daze, her hand propped up, trying to straighten up to see who it was, and fell from the chair to the grass with a bang, this time it was really clean.
At the same time, there was also a book with a pink cover, which seemed to be a template for romance in a rented bookstore, and it is estimated that the little nun was watching romance in a chair and fell asleep. She shook her head, and when she saw the girl not far away, she opened her mouth angrily: "Little Bald Donkey" chair swayed around her head.
"Hey, hey." Sango smiled, "Thief-nin"
“…… Bald donkey" Chen Wenting opened her mouth into an O shape and fought back expressionlessly, and then saw Lan Zi here, raised her head slightly, Lan Zi wanted to remind her that the chair that shook over might hit her head, but heard Chen Wenting say, "Hey, the little pervert also came with you." ”
Lan Zi, who was still a little unbearable in her heart when she watched Coral throw her to the ground, suddenly felt that her sympathy was a little redundant.
The chair almost shook against the top of Chen Wenting's head.
"Where is he lustful, and he has no lust for you"
"He seduced me with meat, and wanted to wrap me. But I'm very principled......"
"Hey, the principle is worth a few pieces of meat......"
"Of course, the more the merrier......"
The two girls usually get along like this, a little bickering, Chen Wenting climbed out from under the chair that was still shaking slightly like a puppy, symbolically arranged her hair, patted her face, and put on a face of "this is very beautiful", and then the two talked about recent events.
"Why did you come here to sleep, did you knock down your house when there was a war a few days ago?"
"What's the matter, there is an old nun here, I secretly ran out to rent a book to read, the sun is very good, so I will sleep here."
"Did you play well?"
"It's messy, I want to go to see the peak showdown, Jizo, Bai Qi, it's good, but I just ran out and met a sick idiot, obviously I don't want to fight, I'm always in the way, but I ran on the mountain for a long time, I missed it all, and I was angry......"
As she spoke, she fanned the book in front of her, quite depressed, Lan Zi took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the name of romance...... This nun not only eats meat, but also begs for a bag*, look at the romance, what kind of nun is this...... Chen Wenting noticed his gaze, pursed her mouth, and suddenly hid the book behind her.
She then asked about Coral: "Didn't you say you were going to play for many days?" Uncle Xie and Aunt Xing are fine, and your family is fine. ”
Coral said a little proudly, "Hmph, we were in Shinga a few days ago"
"Huh?"
"I saw the whole process, Fang Shaobai came out and saw it, and Yimir came out and saw it, envy, right?"
"......" Chen Wenting was stunned, for a moment, raised her wrist to look at the watch on it, and said expressionlessly, "It's not early, I'm going back to the mountain." ”
"We're going to play with you tomorrow," Coral waved happily.
"I'll check it myself." After she finished saying this, she then turned her head to look at Lan Zi, and smiled slightly: "Bye-bye...... Hum. He turned and trotted down the side of the road.
"You're all like that, huh?" Lan Zi said with a smile.
"yes."
"But...... Her master is that Momotsuki Zen Master, right? Won't it be harsh? ”
"Old nun...... "Sango poked her finger at her lip and thought for a moment, "Some aspects are indeed very strict, but they don't have many requirements for precepts or anything......
"Huh?"
"Because she used to say yes. People have faith, in order to let this heart seek peace, so that people in this life will not be confused, not to fear, as long as you can seek peace, you believe in Buddhism today, tomorrow believe in Christ, it is the same, the Buddha preached the Dharma, just to let more people get a peaceful heart, to be at ease, all kinds of sayings, all kinds of stories are just means, but later, the means instead blinded the purpose, monks spread the Dharma, only for the believers and the number of influence, the country for the foolish people, sects for power, religion just became sesame oil money, became a indulgenceWhat was supposed to free people from fear has become a profit. In fact, there are no gods and Buddhas, who are at ease and not confused, that is, gods and Buddhas......"
Sango's voice is not mature, as a sixteen-year-old girl, she actually looks immature when she speaks, but at this time, repeating the words of the "old nun", there is a trace of solemnity on her face, and she probably admires that Momotsuki Zen.
"However, if you don't get confused, there will be a lot of people like this......"
"How can there be anyone who is not confused. Well, although all the students in our class are not confused...... But it's called the second middle school, and probably I'm the same......" she said here, laughing, "But ah, it is said that Hui Ling is quite Buddha-like, although she can't stand any temptation, but that's what the old nun said about her." If it is predestined, when she is about twenty-six years old, she will have the old nun give her her hair and receive three hundred and forty-eight full bhikshu ordination, well, then she will become a real nun who is more serious than anyone else. ”
She said, nodding, "Well, so I'm going to play with her more now." ”
"Ah......" Lan Zi was stunned, although he knew that the little nun who said that she was okay and asked for a bag* would definitely not be too superficial, but he really didn't expect such a thing.
"Scared, huh?" Coral smiled back.
"Hmm." Lan Zi nodded, passed for a while, and said, "But why is it twenty-six years old?" ”
"I heard that she said it casually, just pick a random number, and then make a decision." Coral shrugged, "But she's done with the decision, and she almost won't change it if she doesn't have a very special reason." ”
The two chatted and walked forward, and after a while, the villa of the Coral family in the residential area had also arrived, Lan Zi left Chen Wenting's matter behind, and was worried in his heart: "Hey, Sango, I should ...... Uh, what do you call them......"
"Follow me, Daddy and Mommy."
"Ah......h
"Anyway...... You're going to call it in the future. Coral blinked and smiled brightly, "You can do it yourself." ”
As they spoke, the two approached the main entrance of the house, and the aroma of food wafted from inside. Coral took a step forward by holding Lan Zi's hand, and then pressed the doorbell heavily.
Oh, how can we make a little nun with Buddha nature give up her intention to become a monk......
