Chapter 2 The Bodhi Jade Tree
The military academy's dormitory is very large, with 12 single shops placed side by side in one room, just in one dormitory, a team of staff built by the army.
"Zhiheng, why did you come back so late? You're about to blew out the lights, wash and go to bed!" Miao Yongyi said to him when he saw Ning Zhiheng come back.
Miao Yongyi is one of Ning Zhiheng's good friends in the military academy. Ning Zhiheng has three better classmates in the military academy. Among them, Miao Yongyi was also his classmate at Yongning No. 3 Middle School in Hangzhou. Ning Zhiheng applied to the Central Army Officer Academy together under the encouragement of Miao Yongyi. The two were as close as brothers and had a deep friendship.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and did not explain. He said too much and made mistakes. He knew that Miao Yongyi asked casually. He didn't need to answer deliberately. He had little words, and Miao Yongyi knew very well that his temperament was not caring.
But over the past month, my friend and brother have become more silent than before. Sometimes I don’t see him say a few words all day long. I really don’t know how he gets along with others in the army in the future!
At this time, the door suddenly opened and the two of them hurriedly ran in. It was Ning Zhiheng's other two friends Xia Yuanming and Ke Chengyun who came back.
Ning Zhiheng then realized that all the classmates should have rested at this time on weekdays. But today there were a few people in the entire dormitory who came back later than him.
"Yongyi, do you know about Zhiheng? Many students in the school just asked Instructor Shao for information. He said that our class will be assigned to the Fifty-Second Army, which is the most well-equipped army." Xia Yuanming said excitedly.
"Our class is lucky. We took the whole pot away and transferred them to the 52nd Army. I heard that there will be a big battle soon. Several armies will encircle and suppress the ** people. They are not easy to get the military achievements after graduation. Where do you think you will find such a good thing?" Ke Chengyun was also very excited, all of whom were looking forward to making achievements. He knew that he wanted to graduate early and go to the front line, but he was only excited, without any fear.
When Miao Yongyi heard them shouting, he asked curiously: "This is really good news. Military merits are second. What's important is that we brothers will not separate, and we can still take care of each other on the battlefield."
At this time, the others lying in the dormitory also got up and started talking excitedly. It would be the best if you have trusted comrades on the battlefield to rely on. These classmates and classmates have long been looking forward to fighting on the battlefield and making achievements after graduation.
Among the people, Ning Zhiheng responded with a smile, but did not speak. When he saw the classmates talking fiercely together, his heart was as calm as the lake water, and he knew that these passionate young people would fight to the death in the battlefield of artillery fire in the next fourteen years, and sacrifice their lives for the country and the family.
They are the luckiest generation of soldiers. They caught up with the most generous and tragic era in modern Chinese history and paid blood and life for this country as soldiers. They are also the unfortunate generation of soldiers. They paid unimaginable huge price in the continuous wars in the future, but there were tens of millions of Chinese soldiers who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Few of these fresh lives in front of them survived this catastrophe!
It was already late at night, and the classmates were all asleep. Only Ning Zhiheng could not fall asleep for a long time and fell into his memories.
He was originally an ordinary civil servant in a government department in the 21st century. He was appreciated by his leaders when he was young and was once honored for several years.
But the good times did not last long. The leader, who had a promising future, suddenly died of an emergency. As a secretary, he was quickly marginalized by the successor's leadership and was excluded from the archives office to become a deputy director.
Two years later, his wife, who had no hope, also took her daughter away. He had no complaints. His wife was very outstanding. He was able to choose him because he was interested in his future. It was impossible for him to accompany his mediocre self to complete the second half of his life.
After that, he lost his thoughts during his career. When he was bored, he actually had a hobby to collect antiques. He read books, strolled around the antique street, and bought some valuable antiques and jade artifacts.
One day, I saw a Bodhi seed about an inch long and milky white color on the street stall. I immediately felt a magical power in the dark that prompted me to get it desperately, and I inexplicably felt that this Bodhi seed was sent by his body.
He didn't hear what the stall owner was saying verbally. He was like being caught in a demon. He took out all the money he had on his body and bought the Bodhi seed.
The stall owner looked at his back as if he was watching an idiot, and he didn't react, thinking that there were still such a fool who was easy to cheat these days!
I returned home in a daze, held the Bodhi seed in my hand, staring at it with my eyes tightly, and could no longer leave it. I watched it slowly merge into one with my body from solid to virtual, and disappeared magically in front of me.
I felt a simple and pure force merge into my mind, and all my consciousness was cut off from the outside world.
Consciousness and thinking were actually projected into the size of an ordinary baby in his mind, as if it had been reduced ten times. He looked around and saw that this space, which was like an isolated island, was actually the depth of his consciousness?
At the center of the space, a moist and green, crystal clear Bodhi tree stands alone, and the warm and crystal light emits from the tree body covers the entire consciousness space.
The trunk of the Bodhi tree has three branches, two of which are bare, and only one of the remaining branches grows with seven leaves and a grape-like fruit, all of which are the same color as the trunk and are crystal clear.
The whole Bodhi tree exudes a warm light like spring, shining on him.
He greedily absorbed the light emitted like a baby who had been hungry for a long time, feeling like drinking nectar. The mysterious energy contained in it constantly nourishes himself and is extremely comfortable!
At this time, the green leaves and fruits on the Bodhi tree swayed gently without wind. There were waves of solemn and solemn sounds of reciting Buddhist scriptures vaguely.
He was almost completely attracted by the sound of chanting scriptures in an instant. He was completely focused and clear. He sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree and slowly recited the scriptures with the sound of chanting scriptures.
In a trance, I felt that the fruit on the branch fell gently, falling on him lightly, instantly turning into green liquid and melting into his body, containing vigorous vitality, slowly spreading through the whole body and seeping into the depths of his body. Soon he lost his consciousness.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I woke up, I became Ning Zhiheng, a student who was about to graduate from the Whampoa Military Academy in 1936, in the 25th year of the Republic of China.
After experiencing the fear and confusion of these days, he slowly merged with the memories of this life and gradually adapted to the people and things around him.
At this time, he empty his mind, his consciousness entered a state of meditation, and his mind. He was still sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, but the fruit on the branch was gone. Only the seven leaves were still swaying gently, and the Sanskrit was still chanting.
Ning Zhiheng sighed lightly. After exploring this month, he knew that the disappearance of the fruit should be caused by this time travel.
This Bodhi tree is the true body of the magical Bodhi seed, which takes root and grows in his consciousness space. It has magical energy that can act on Ning Zhiheng.
During this period, he would enter the consciousness space to meditate every night. As long as he heard the sound of reciting Buddhist scriptures, he would unconsciously follow and recite. And a leaf slowly loosened up in his chanting.
I don’t know how long it took, but the leaf finally fell off and fell on Ning Zhiheng’s body, and also turned into jade liquid and merged into his body.
This time he could clearly feel the feelings this jade liquid brought to his body. The jade liquid instantly dissolved into a large amount of extremely pure energy, like a clear spring injected into the dry land, soaking the flesh, bones and meridians like mist, nourishing the slightly fragile meridians. It exudes vitality, and is so happy that it is almost moaning. This feeling is so wonderful!
When he woke up in the morning, he obviously felt some changes. The breeze blew, and the rustling sound of the grass on the lawn outside the house was clearly heard.
Even the smell of sweat stains and feet odors emitted by the students in the room were much worse than before, which made him unable to breathe.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The sky was just bright, and the indoor light was not very good. But he could clearly see a spider hanging on the corner of the roof, and even see the strands of spider silk clearly.
All this shows that his physical fitness has leaped to a higher level overnight. Both his hearing and smell and vision have improved a lot, and everything he comes into contact with has become vivid, clear and distinct than before!
Fortunately, he was introverted, otherwise he would shout excitedly. He patiently resisted his fluctuating mood, got up, put on his clothes and went out to the playground.
I stretched my lower body and fisted my legs. Every time I waved my fists, it was like a mountain carrying a heavy load, and my strength was steady. After a fight, my muscles, bones, blood and energy stretched out. I felt that my whole body was filled with endless power, which was very different from when I was practicing in the past.
Close his eyes, feel the blood and meridians in his body, and tremble rhythmically with his inhalation and exhalation. A heat current surged in it, piercing all parts of his body. After a long time, he opened his eyes and felt refreshed and energetic.
Now it is certain that the magical power of the green leaf has made his physical fitness a big step in comprehensively improving.
There are six green leaves on the tree, which you can imagine if you use them all. Your physical fitness can evolve to a horror level that is absolutely far beyond ordinary people. Ning Zhiheng was full of expectations.
However, there are all kinds of fruits and green leaves. If all of them are consumed, how can I replenish them in the future?
This is a big problem that must be solved. We must understand and discover the secrets of the Bodhi tree in our mind as soon as possible.
This is also the magic weapon for him to settle down in this turbulent era. Although he worked in the government in his previous life, he actually believed in Buddhism during his frustration years. His spiritual decadence was based on religion, and he just looked for the sustenance of his soul and seek peace in his heart!
But I never expected that the Bodhi seed I accidentally obtained was so magical, and it gave me such a fantastic encounter.
Is there really a mysterious power that humans don’t know, a Buddha and god who can look down on humans and regard them as ants? If not, how can I explain his own experience? All this has caused earth-shaking changes in his understanding of the world. He even overwhelmed him!
As for whether there are other magical aspects of the Bodhi tree in his mind, he was very happy to improve his physique. He believed that he would definitely discover more magical things in the future.
