He remembered an interesting thing (qíng).

A sneaky figure ran out and was stopped by him. In the moonlight, the woman had to fold her arms to cover her face.

She is a woman in black next to Mu Cheng'an (shēn), who appeared outside the wing of the cloud sting tonight and forgot to wear a veil.

Luo Gan's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and He Wen turned around and went back without embarrassment.

In the face of Luo Gan's question, He asked to find things (qíng) more and more interesting.

"I guess everyone will be ready to go down the mountain tomorrow. He said in a relaxed tone.

"yes, you look like you're too excited to sleep. Brother He, let's go to bed early. ”

Luo Gan walked back to the wing room and gently closed the door. (chuáng) There was the sound of clouds stunning and steady breathing on the couch, and He Wen outside the house gradually walked away.

Yu sat alone until dawn, full of thoughts.

Just as he asked, early the next morning, Qi Lianfeng came out one by one to beckon everyone to pack up their things and go down the mountain.

Mu Cheng'an was the first to disappear, and he didn't keep up with the second monk Chen Yinzhang, who was confused, so he had to go back to Jiangdu alone with his burden.

Seeing that the others were busy leaving the mission, Luo Gan stayed in the Yun Jing Courtyard, even though she repeatedly stated that she wanted Luo Gan to leave first.

"I don't. ”

Luo Qian deliberately avoided Qi Lianfeng, just to find an opportunity to go with Yun Jingjing.

It is very likely that Yun Jingzhen will go directly to Yuan Kendo.

With nothing to do and no one to disturb here, Yun Jingzhen planned to test Luo Qian's mastery of the "Mirror Heart Sutra".

As a kind of cultivation method that should be combined with other mental formulas, although Luo Qian will study for half an hour, Luo Qian still cannot be concise.

Yun Jingzhen didn't mention the Qingfeng Technique, but started with the Mirror Heart Sutra first, which made him panic even more.

After a night's rest, she did not fully recover, and her face was still white and frightening.

After Luo Gan moved a small stool and sat down at the head of the (chuáng), she officially began to ask the question: "The Mirror Heart Sutra has a total of one hundred and eight formulas, each of which is about twenty or thirty words, and it seems that memorization is not a problem. ”

Luo Qian thought about it seriously and said: "The words and sentences in the original text are awkward and obscure, and there are not a few rare words, if you insist on memorizing, you can do it." However, since this time (rì), I have been understanding more one by one than rote. ”

"Not bad. Only when you understand it will you have the possibility to use it. Yun nodded approvingly, although Luo Qian didn't surprise her, fortunately he didn't disappoint her.

"It's a pity that the Qingfeng Jue is getting better, and I don't know where to put the Mirror Heart Sutra. ”

Yun was stunned and said unhurriedly: "Brother Luo, the Qingfeng Jue starts with your perception of the outside world, and the Mirror Heart Sutra focuses on your inner world. The difficult points are put aside for the time being, and you listen attentively.

Suppose you are now a refugee, and there are two local kitchens, Mr. Huang and Mr. Bai. Mr. Huang divides evenly, and Mr. Bai gives more points to whoever is pleasing to the eye. Where will you go to ask for alms?"

Luo Gan didn't rush to answer first, but asked rhetorically: "What does Mr. Bai mean, do you want us refugees to curry favor with him?"

"You don't have to try to please him. However, if you share his porridge, you will be his loyal watchdog. This is to let you be chained to a certain gate of Mr. Bai like a watchdog, and when you see Mr. Bai's friends, you will grin and show for them to make fun, when you see strangers, you will puff and threaten them not to come over, and when you see enemies, you will open your teeth and claws, and your mouth will be dirty. ”

Luo Gan, who listened to such conditions, frowned in disgust, "I just ate a bowl of porridge from him, and I became his family's watchdog, isn't it too much of a loss?"

Yun stunned his lips and smiled, and asked, "It's really a loss." Then, Mr. Huang, who is not rich, will give you a bowl of porridge as long as you give him a piece of soil in the pine vegetable garden, and will also provide you with a place to rest for a short time. It's the same with someone else, you don't need to please him. What do you think of him?"

"If I'm reduced to having to rely on hard labor to make ends meet, I might as well try. ”

He saw that Yun Jing's smile was still the same as before, and the meaning was a little unclear.

However, Mr. Bai is much richer than Mr. Huang. If you become a celebrity on the side of Mr. Bai (shēn) through flattery, a wife and concubine in a farmhouse, he will arrange it for you. ”

Luo Qian shook his head, "I've always disliked pandering too much to others, and interpersonal communication is a very tiring thing (qíng). What's more, you want me to be Mr. Bai's dog?"

"However, to be Mr. Bai's dog for a day, the worst, even if you don't please Mr. Bai, can meet the food and clothing for ten days. In other words, if you are a dog with him for one day, someone will provide you with enough food for the next ten days. ”

Luo Qian was dumbfounded.

One is to exchange coolies for food with Mr. Huang, and the other is to sell his self-esteem and exchange more food with Mr. Bai.

A bowl of porridge in exchange for two hours is simply not enough to fill the consumption.

Mr. Bai can ensure that he can get food without working for a short time.

"What do you think I can do? I'm just a refugee. Luo Gan said helplessly, but suddenly realized the key point of the problem.

Yes, refugees.

If, through struggle, he was able to get rid of the refugees' share (shēn), why should he be constrained by the choices of these two people?

"I'm going to be self-reliant!" he insisted.

"But you haven't eaten for three days, and if you miss these two options, you will probably have a hard time finding a rich soup kitchener. ”

The conditions put forward by Yun Jingzhen made him helpless and made him sigh.

To be a dog or to be an upright laborer? Luo Gan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I-"

Yun Jingzhen suddenly said softly: "The road of life is long, in fact, this choice can only affect you for a short period of time in the future. When you are not tied to any interests, you are still free. ”

"Freedom?" Luo Gan muttered, "yes, freedom. If I were a dog, people passing by would laugh at me, my friends would regret knowing me when they saw my ugliness, and my enemies would remember the stain and spread it when they saw it. Even if I've only been a dog for one day, their testimony will put all kinds of restrictions on me down the road. Mr. Bai would not have tied me to the same boat as him, but the food for the next ten days would remind me of this humiliation. ”

Yun listened quietly, not making a sound.

"Oh, I don't know how to eat this kind of food? It's like food for dogs. ”

"Is that your choice?"

Luo Qian looked at her face, and his eyes (rè) cut, "Is this the Mirror Heart Sutra?"

She nodded dispensably, looking tired.

"The Mirror Heart Sutra is to constantly judge oneself. People who lose themselves and can't understand themselves can't accept the Mirror Heart Sutra, people who are indulged by others (cāo) and lose their freedom can't read the Mirror Heart Sutra, and people who have a black heart and a belly full of bad water are restrained to death by the Mirror Heart Sutra. ”

Luo Qian could vaguely guess that what she said about Mr. Bai and Mr. Huang were actually alluding to certain people.

"Are you firmly on Mr. Huang's side?" he asked.

In fact, most people, when they encounter this kind of problem for the first time, will be forced to choose Mr. Huang because they despise Mr. Bai's approach. ”

She didn't answer Luo Gan's question directly.

"But I think Mr. Huang has great potential and is on his side. ”

"Oh?" Luo Gan's special answer surprised her, "He's not worse than Mr. Bai for ten days' food. Let me tell you more about the fact that Mr. Huang's family has 19 people, so he can't provide more porridge to help the refugees, and Mr. Bai only needs to support a family of three, but he has 100 times the wealth of Mr. Huang. What is Mr. Huang's potential?"

Luo Qian was surprised, he didn't expect such a huge difference in the strength of these two gentlemen. He pondered for a while, and finally it was Li (tǐng) Mr. Huang who retorted: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world." Mr. Bai doesn't treat people as human beings, but more people dislike him. Judging from Mr. Huang's tenets of hard work and harvest, I will not be disgusted with him.

Mr. Huang should know that you yourself said that I am just a refugee and can't do anything for him (qíng), and I may even faint before I finish digging the earth. Does he really expect this little bit of my labor to create wealth? No, he just doesn't want to embarrass us, and turns his handouts into a reward for our own labor. ”

"But you still haven't said, why does he have great potential?"

Luo Qian blinked, and suddenly smiled: "You should have guessed that you still asked me? Think about it, if there is a real fight, the nineteen people in Mr. Huang's family, plus we, the defenders of several refugees, will not be able to beat Mr. Bai's three people?"

"How can you be sure he doesn't have a defender?"

"Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Luo Gan poked her head lightly, "You little girl, what are you thinking about all day? But I'm not that naïve." Actually, the most important thing is that I believe that Mr. Huang will not stand still in his current situation, and he will actively seek to improve - after all, there are so many people who want him to feed!"

"Hahaha. Yun's startled laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and she stretched out her hand to signal Luo Gan to help her down (chuáng).

"Then leave that alone. The Mirror Heart Sutra still depends on how you choose when you really encounter something, and you will understand. ”

Outside, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and it was almost noon. The two made a pot of tea and sat at the stone table in the courtyard, only occasionally saying a word or two.

When they don't speak, they all tacitly don't speak.

When you want to talk, you look up and talk to each other.

She mentioned the Luoxia Spring in Qixia Mountain, and she hasn't seen it this year.

"In the past, the senior brother took me there, and Mingshuang also went there a few times. She said.

"Do you want to check it out this time?"

"Of course not. Today, I should set off for Yuan Kendo to be punished. ”

He's almost forgotten about the claustrophobic dungeon (qíng).

"How could it be? You see, they haven't come, and Mu Chengan has already gone back. ”

Yun Jingzhen asked him why he didn't drink, and added: "I secretly hid a pot of wine, and I planned to give it to you again when I went back to the Ming Mansion." Today, go to the house and get a drink, right under me (chuáng). ”

"Shock, I'm going crazy with a little wine. Are you sure you want me to drink it?"

Yun was stunned, but his eyes were bent and his smile bloomed like a flower.

"It's kind of interesting. Then let me see how you got drunk!"
