Hearing Bai Shuo's question, Lao Dao smiled: "It seems that you still haven't opened your mind! Isn't this still the same as Zhuang Zhou and butterflies?"

Bai Shuo paused, his thinking was still a little confused: "Lu Sheng experienced everything in his dream, and then he lost interest in real life, would this be a little too negative?"

"Are you going to lose interest in your current life?"

Bai Shuo raised his head: "Lu Sheng has already gotten everything, but I have never gotten it." ”

"This is just your opinion, why don't you say that Lu Sheng has lost everything in the so-called real world?"

Bai Shuo thought for a long time and did not speak.

Lao Dao asked Bai Shuo again: "What do you think is the most precious thing in the world?"

may not have thought of a satisfactory answer, so Bai Shuo has not answered.

"Some say it's lost and ungained. Lao Dao continued.

Bai Shuo looked at Lao Dao and listened carefully to his words.

"Buddhism talks about the causes and conditions of past lives and the fruits of this life, and the cultivation of this life is the result of future lives. It's just looking at the flowers in the fog and the moon in the water. If we can cultivate in this life and the next life, what will we cultivate in the next life? And the harmony between heaven, earth, man, and all things that our Taoists emphasize is naturally the so-called Taoism. If we really have a lot of future lives, then as long as we cultivate each of these lives and do a good job in the present moment, then what do we have to worry about even if we are born and live, and what does it have to do with what we have to do with what we have gained or lost in the past or in the future? Therefore, in my opinion, what has been lost and what has not been gained is not the most precious, but the most precious thing is to have ......."

After saying this, Lao Dao stopped speaking, as if waiting for Bai Shuo to comprehend on his own.

At this time, Bai Shuo suddenly remembered that when he had just dreamed back, because his thoughts were a little confused, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he searched for relevant information on the Internet. I stumbled upon another real event in history that is similar to the allusions to "A Dream of Huangliang": about 100 years ago, in the late sunny period, there was a doctor named Lu Shimo in the magic capital. One day he had a dream in which he found himself many, many years later. He saw that in the future, China not only recovered the concessions, but also abolished all kinds of extralegal powers, and foreigners were behaving and honest in China. There are even dishonest foreigners being tried in the courts. Foreign students have come to study in Chinese universities, and Chinese has become the most powerful language in the world. Huaguo has many advanced weapons and a strong navy.

He was also surprised to find that Huaguo had entered a civilized and wealthy society, and the society was harmonious, and there was no prostitution and gambling. All workers in China have entered the well-off, women no longer become full-time wives, and employment has become a common phenomenon. Many wealthy people in China have gone abroad to invest overseas. Huaguo industry is also very good, Huaguo will become the world's factory, and the things used by other countries are made in Huaguo. There are large shipyards in the coastal provinces, which produce better steel than foreign ones. Huaguo can independently produce beautiful, smart and fuel-efficient cars, and people can take taxis when they go out.

Lu Shimo also saw that the magic capital of the future would become a bustling metropolis. Pudong became a financial center and also hosted a national expo. There is a subway under Nanjing Road, and an iron bridge is erected on the Huangpu River, and a tunnel is built below. From Xujiahui to Nanjing Road, there are many shops along the street, which is lively and prosperous...... In the end, Lu Shimo tripped over the threshold, and he woke up to realize that it was a dream. He told his wife about the dream, but she said, "This is because you have been wishful thinking for a long time, so you have this strange dream." But he said, "Hugh said it was a dream, and it is not known whether it will be such a sight." Later, Lu Shimo wrote everything he saw in his dreams into a book called "New China". Today, everything recorded in the book has come true. Moreover, the three major projects in the dream are very consistent with the locations of the Yan'an East Road Tunnel, Metro Line 1, Nanpu Bridge and other locations in reality.

Bai Shuo asked Lao Dao about this matter again, did Lu Shimo's dream also have similarities with "Huangliang One Dream" and "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of Butterflies"? Lao Dao thought for a while and said: "Zhuang Zhou dreams of a moment and a half, Lu Shimo dreams of a period of time, and Lu Sheng dreams of a lifetime. In fact, this is a process of enlightenment for each of them. After Zhuang Zhou became enlightened, he became a generation of grandmasters to teach the world, Lu Shimo wrote books to alert the world, and Lu Sheng became enlightened after enlightenment. It's just that they have different merits, different understandings, and different decisions they make after enlightenment. ”

Bai Shuo thought about the words of the old way, and suddenly remembered that Chen Bing and even Xiao Zhen suddenly appeared around him recently, and asked: "But if some people who were originally in a dream suddenly appeared by their side, what is the explanation?"

Lao Dao smiled: "Since the things in the dream may become a reality, what is the difference between appearing in the future and appearing now? This is simple, little brother, as long as you meditate and think more, you don't have to ask more about the poor Dao, many things can actually be comprehended by yourself." ”

By the time he finished chatting with Lao Dao, it was already early, and when Bai Shuo got up to say goodbye, Lao Dao seemed to remember something and stopped Bai Shuo. Then he took out a large bag of the kind of tea he had just drunk from the tea cabinet and handed it to Bai Shuo, saying that since Bai Shuo likes this tea, it is fate, so he reluctantly cut his love and gave Bai Shuo some of it, and only charged a little charcoal cost of 200 yuan. Lao Dao's behavior directly made Bai Shuo feel that the sky was thundering, just now he was still an image of a master, and in the blink of an eye, he was just a person who cared about a few taels of silver. However, after leaving the Taoist temple, Bai Shuo still pondered the words of the old Tao repeatedly in his heart, although it was not enough to solve his doubts, but it was still like a faint light in Bai Shuo's heart. Yes, only cultivating in this life, not about the next life, Bai Shuo is ready to understand whether these things can be understood or not, but he will never sigh to himself like Lu Sheng to see through the red dust, he will definitely grasp everything at the moment.

It was another weekend, and since the stock market was not open on that day, the two "waiters" also took a holiday and did not go to the bar. Just after noon, the bearded man called and told him that Chen Bing, who had been looking for him, had actually come to the bar again, and asked about the whereabouts of the score. The beard kept Chen Bing and asked Bai Shuo to hurry over with the score. Bai Shuo didn't even finish listening to the phone, so he rushed to the bar with the music score as fast as he could. Before they arrived at the bar, Bai Shuo saw a large wasteland not far from the side of the bar, which was where Bai Shuo used to play football and frolic when they were children, but now it is overgrown with weeds. At this time, the woman named Chen Bing was standing quietly on the edge of the weeds, holding a cup of milk tea, as if thinking about something. She didn't wear the white coat she was most familiar with, but a beige trench coat, and her shoulder-length hair was draped over the trench coat. Because the buttons of the trench coat are not fastened, and the texture is light and soft, it is slightly elegant in the slightly cold wind, and the white placket worn by the inner layer can be faintly revealed. It gives people a feeling of "demure like flowers shining on the water, and graceful like willows facing the wind".

Chen Bing hadn't noticed Bai Shuo's arrival at the moment, and Bai Shuo could calmly observe this mysterious woman. But no matter how you look at it at this time, this is just a beautiful and quiet girl, and it can't be related to mystery.

Bai Shuo still took a deep breath, walked over slowly with the music score, and when she was still about three meters away, Chen Bing turned around leisurely, holding milk tea in her left hand and the bottom of the cup in her right hand, looking at Bai Shuo without any expression, her eyes were a little confused, as if her thoughts had not been completely freed from her previous thoughts. After a long while, she glanced at Bai Shuo's hand before stretching out her right hand.

"Give it to me".

Bai Shuo instinctively wanted to hand over the score, but suddenly stopped his movements and asked, "You wrote this score?"

"Hmm. ”

"Your name is Chen Bing?"

At this time, the woman obviously didn't want Bai Shuo to ask so many questions, but just looked at Bai Shuo quietly, did not speak again, and the movement of her right hand was still maintained.

Bai Shuo was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I will give you the score, but I have some questions I want to ask you."

"Yes. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Bai Shuo continued to hand over the score to Chen Bing. After Chen Bing took the score, he looked at it carefully.

"Well, that...... Have we seen each other before last time?" Bai Shuo was more anxious and immediately asked a question.

Chen Bing put away the score, glanced at Bai Shuo strangely, and then slowly leaned over, and a soft voice sounded in Bai Shuo's ear: "I'll tell you ...... next time." With that, he passed past Bai Shuo, and then drifted away in the direction of the bar.

Bai Shuo smelled the faint fragrance of that memory again, turned around and asked loudly to Chen Bing, who had walked out of a distance of about ten meters, "How long is the next time?!"

"Haven't you been looking for me? I saw that when Chen Bing was talking, he had already got into a Volkswagen car parked not far from the door of the bar, and then slowly drove away, gradually disappearing at the end of the road.

"You ghost girl, dare to lie to me again!" Bai Shuo shouted angrily.

This time, Chen Bing seems to have disappeared completely. For half a month, there was no news from Chen Bing. Bai Shuo knew that Chen Bing should not be a local, and he might not be in Shu Capital at this moment, and he was even far away from Bashu Province. Bai Shuo felt that Chen Bing was like a knot in his heart. If this knot is not untied, you will not be able to truly live in the present day for a day. Bai Shuo himself didn't know what to know and get from finding Chen Bing, maybe it was just an answer, but it didn't matter if the answer was "yes" or "no". But sometimes people are so strange, doing something may not have any results, but if you really don't do it, you will always think about it. I have to wait until things are understood, and then I finally let go, this is "obsession".

In the following time, everyone obviously felt the change in Bai Shuo's mentality. Cao An, Zhu Zi and others, except for a few wines, there is no better way. Cao An once quietly asked what happened to Bai Shuo when he was drinking? Luo Shuo was also a little confused, but he guessed with a confused face: "I think, maybe, should, maybe be out of love?" Because Bai Shuo was in a hurry and lost his soul to find a woman, and she was also a beautiful woman, except for "falling out of love", he really wanted to go out for any other reason.

After getting this maybe, should, and possibly answer, Cao An was also stunned for a long time, "When did Brother Geng become so emotional?

In the end, Liang Ying gave Bai Shuo an idea and asked him to hand over the information he had in his hand to Xiao Zhen, maybe he would have a way. Bai Shuo's eyes lit up, yes, Xiao Zhen is now the director of the public security bureau, and with the existing information clues to find a person, maybe no one will have a better way than him.

Bai Shuo found Xiao Zhen's phone number and dialed it, it seemed that everyone hadn't seen each other for about two months, and he didn't know what Xiao Zhen's situation was like now.

"Hey, Bai Shuo, why did you kid remember to call me. On the phone, Xiao Zhen was still the same as before, and he didn't have any life, which made Bai Shuo feel closer.

"Brother Zhen, I have something to do, I don't know if I can ask you for a favor?" Bai Shuo didn't greet those useless people, and went straight to the point. That's how brothers talk to each other.

"Okay, you kid didn't look for me for 2 months, and when he called, he wanted to help, he really had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, haha. Xiao Zhen smiled heartily.

"It's not that I thought that you Director Xiao was busy with official business, and we didn't want to bother, hehe. ”

"It's not like what you kid said, let's say, what's the matter?"

Bai Shuo thought for a while before saying, "I want you to help me find someone...... Well, someone who is important to me".

Xiao Zhen asked suspiciously: "Looking for someone, what's going on, do you have relatives missing?"

"Well, no, it's actually someone I don't know, but finding her might be able to help me solve some of the problems that are bothering me. ”

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said, "It seems that the situation is quite complicated, in this way, I am still working overtime and have some things, what is going on, what do you want to check, you send me a message." After a pause, Xiao Zhen said again: "If the matter is more complicated, you can come to me if you have time, let's talk about it face to face." ”

Bai Shuo hurriedly said: "I think it's better to say it in person, then do you think you have time tomorrow?"

Xiao Zhen thought for a while: "Tomorrow...... Well, okay. Well, you can wait for me at a restaurant next to my precinct at about 6 p.m., and I'll text you the address shortly. That restaurant is very distinctive, and we can have a few good drinks. ”

made an appointment with Xiao Zhen, and Bai Shuo notified Cao An, Zhuzi, and Liang Ying. The next day, in the afternoon, the four of them went to the restaurant mentioned in Xiao Zhen's text message as scheduled. But no one knows how much turmoil their trip will cause, and even how much impact it will have on some things in the future......
