The sunlight was hidden in a layer of fog. The fog should have been thin originally, but today's fog seemed particularly thick and low, making people breathless.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry. The owner of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that had just set up a stall disappeared without even asking for the stall. A businessman who didn't even ask for a meal could only mean one thing. He didn't care about money, but no one wanted money.
Don’t want it either? I’m afraid his purpose is not to sell cakes, but to buy someone’s life. Whose life? Of course it’s Shao Jian’s.
Gong'e originally wanted to leave a tooth mark on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but fortunately Shao Jian's eyes were prone to seeing things they shouldn't.
"It seems that today is not a good day!" Gong E stepped on the cake that fell on the ground, so that she would not reach out to pick it up.
"We are being targeted!" Shao Jian looked relaxed. This level of danger did not seem to be enough to threaten Shao Jian.
"But why take your life?"
"Of course I don't know this, but all I know is that my life is only worth a stall?" Shao Jian smiled.
"It seems to be true, but I would like to hear how you saw it?" Gong E glanced at the two women behind her. Their eyes also shone with doubts, and they must also want to know.
“It’s easy!”
"How easy is it?"
"I smelled it!"
"Can you still smell it when the fragrance is so strong?"
"It's just because it was too strong, so I smelled murderous intent!" Shao Jian chuckled.
"Can you also smell murderous intent?"
"Maybe you can't, but luckily I can smell it!" Shao Jian reached out and picked up the remaining white and red osmanthus cake on the stall.
"How dare you eat it?" Gong E scolded.
"I didn't eat it just now, of course I want to eat it now!" Shao Jian took a bite without saying anything.
"It smells so good!" Shao Jian opened his eyes to enjoy it. He always does this with good things. If a person is born unable to enjoy it, then his life will be meaningless.
"Isn't it poisonous?"
"There are so many people coming and going here. If all of them are poisonous, I'm afraid what we see now is not a crowd, but a group of dead bodies lying down and unable to sleep!" Shao Jian finished the bite in one bite.
"Then let me try it too!" Gong E had wanted to eat it for a long time. Seeing that Shao Jian was not dead, she naturally didn't want to let him eat alone.
"Why don't you two come together?" Shao Jian looked at the two women.
But the two women didn't appreciate it because they didn't speak. I remember they talked last night, but why didn't they say a word today? Shao Jian really couldn't figure it out, but he didn't need to think about it anymore.
"Don't we have to eat it all the time? If that's the case, I don't object, and I very much agree!" Gong E filled her mouth.
"Of course not, because we still have a long way to go, so we need to replenish some energy!" After Shao Jian said that, he actually walked into a restaurant. The signboard of the restaurant said: Unparalleled Food!
Anyone who dares to use this name as a sign must have very good food. When Shao Jian went in, there was no store, no waiter serving tea and water, and only one person collecting money.
This kind of shop shouldn't be full of customers, but it was packed with people. However, even though there were many people, there was no noise at all. It was extremely quiet. If the signboard hadn't been written clearly, Shao Jian would have thought he had gone to the wrong door.
"Guests, come in and order!" the cashier yelled and ignored him, and Shao Jian didn't know where to go "in"? Gong E pointed to a man who had just entered and motioned to follow him.
After following the man in, Shao Jian saw over a hundred pots, all red-hot, placed on the stove. The fire in the stove grew even stronger, as if he was about to swallow the pots in one gulp.
"Guest, please take the spoon!" The person shouting next to him, probably a handyman, handed Shao Jian a spatula.
Gong'e didn't understand, how could such a logic exist? There was no store owner, no waiter, no one to take care of her, and she had to cook and pay for her own meals. However, customers kept coming like clouds, and the business couldn't be better.
Shao Jian smiled and handed the spoon to Gong E.
"What do you mean?" Gong E asked.
Shao Jian smiled and said nothing.
"Do you really want to eat here?"
"I love eating, but I don't know how to cook it. It seems that you are going to take the spoon!" Shao Jian did not blush. In this case, a man who shirks his responsibility will definitely be laughed at, but his face is neither white nor red.
It shows that he is shameless.
"Are you crazy to fill your belly here?"
"I'm not crazy, and I'm more sane than you!"
"Since you are not crazy, you should give them the spoon!" Gong'e said and handed the spoon to Huizhen and Huishu.
"Aren't you afraid that they will poison you to death?" Shao Jian smiled.
"With your dog nose here, I think I won't be poisoned to death!"
"Then why bother you two?" Shao Jian looked at the two women holding spoons at a loss.
The two women still didn't speak, but nodded.
Shao Jian actually sat down in the lobby with peace of mind. The guests around him were sitting there motionless like him, and they didn't eat any food. Shao Jian was curious, is this restaurant just for making money or for waste?
Those people didn't know how to eat, and they kept looking at the hourglass placed on the counter, and their eyeballs were shining. The hourglass would be gone in less than half an hour, and Shao Jian could also see it.
Those lights are all shining on the same thing, which is money. Only people who are greedy for money have such tireless eyes and expressions.
Sitting in front of Shao Jian is a tall and thin man. The reason why he is mentioned is that he is different from others. There is no money in his eyes, but there is hatred. His fists are clenched and his eyes are glaring.
To the left of Shao Jian is a man of medium height, but one ear is missing, and the other one is almost gone, because the man is cutting off his own ear, and his eyes are red, like the expression of an extremely nervous person.
.
The one on the right is an old man, his eyes are shining but bloodshot, his hands are shaking uncontrollably, and he is foaming at the mouth.
Gong'e looked at Gong'e and wanted to go out and have a good vomit. But the more this happened, the more interested Shao Jian became, and he decided to sit down. He believed in one thing, that is, the reason why this restaurant's business is good is definitely not because of it.
There are unparalleled delicious dishes, but because a very attractive thing is about to happen, these people are not eating food, but waiting for something related to money.
Shao Jian quietly drank the coarse tea from the tea bowl, while Gong E was already impatient with the wait. The dishes came one after another. Shao Jian didn't want to eat them at first glance, because he was already full at the first glance and would definitely eat them.
You can't eat it if you don't eat it.
The hourglass gradually ran out of water, and when the hourglass fell to the bottom, there was a sound of gongs.
"Everyone, today's three questions are about to begin!" The person who collected the money shouted three times.
Only then did Shao Jian see that the people around him were even more impatient than before. What they were waiting for were three questions. Is there anything wrong with this question?
"It's still the same as before. One question requires one hundred thousand silver. The person with the correct answer will take it. The person with the wrong answer will never be able to come in again. Of course, we are not unkind. If the person with the wrong answer leaves an object on his body, then
Of course you can leave, and you can come back again!"
After the man said what he said, Shao Jian understood why the people without ears next to him were eager to cut off the other one. One hundred thousand silver is indeed not a small amount. Not to mention one ear, I am afraid it is a murder. These people will definitely go back and do it.
.
"Start the first question!"
As soon as the sound fell, the tall man suddenly stood up and fell to the ground, motionless. People who are overly nervous may sleep like this forever. The person who collected the money waved his hand, and the two big men helped the tall man up and threw him away.
go out.
"The flag moves, and it keeps moving! Buddha said: 'The flag is not moving, it's your heart that's moving!', but if you don't look at the flag, it's still moving. So, is it the flag that's moving, or your heart that's moving!" The man has already moved.
The first question came up. This is a Buddhist question. It does not rely on IQ, but on the understanding of enlightenment. The question is very simple.
After the question came out, there was no sound, because everyone sitting there seemed to be afraid of getting the answer wrong, because everyone seemed to have only one chance, and no one dared to answer even such a simple question.
"Yes... yes, my heart is moved! What the Buddha said is right!" the old man stood up and answered.
"wrong!"
After hearing this, the old man collapsed on the ground and was still thrown out.
The big man who cut off his ears was anxiously covered in sweat, and kept wiping it clean. There was dead silence everywhere, not a single sound was heard, and even the sound of breathing was much quieter.
"It's not the flag that's moving, but your heart hasn't moved either, it's the wind that's moving!" The person who spoke was actually not Shao Jian, but Gong E, because she really couldn't stand it. This group of people were like elm lumps. It was a very simple question.
In addition, Gong'e is a person who loves money very much. When she heard about one hundred thousand silver, her eyes lit up.
"Haha!" Shao Jian laughed.
"Correct answer! This is one hundred thousand taels. If you want to continue to answer the question, then the silver will not be given to you. If the answer is wrong, the previous one will not be given again, but if you continue to answer the next question, you can get one.
One million silver!" The man said calmly, as if the one million silver was not money, it seemed that to him it was just a bowl of fried noodles, and it was inferior quality.
"Of course, keep answering!" Gong'e was originally a money-grubbing person. If she had the opportunity to make a lot of money, she would naturally not refuse.
"Okay, second question! Buddha said: 'Sumiru hides mustard seeds, and mustard seeds contain Sumeru!' I dare to ask, why is Mount Sumeru so big hidden among the mustard seeds?"
It is also a Buddhist principle, but no one present answered. There is only one reason why they did not answer. They did not know the answer.
A lot of time passed, but still no one answered, and Gong E couldn't answer either. She glanced at Shao Jian.
"Haha! Haha! Haha!" Shao Jian suddenly laughed three times.
"I wonder why you are laughing?" the questioner asked.
"My first laugh was because your question was too simple, my second laugh was because the people here were too superficial, and my third laugh was because your master was too boring!" Shao Jian laughed three more times after he finished speaking.
"Since the guest said this, he must know the answer?"
"That's right! If you dare to laugh, you naturally know the answer. If you are even wrong, we will skin you and cut your bones." Shao Jian's words angered everyone present.
Shao Jian smiled: "People say: 'Read ten thousand volumes of books and travel thousands of miles!' I want to know, after reading ten thousand volumes of books, where did all the books go?"
"Of course it's your brain!" People who cut off their ears can still hear it.
"Since the book can be put into the brain, can you please give it to me to read?" Shao Jian smiled.
"Of course you can read the book!" the angry people said in unison.
"Then I would like to ask why Mount Xumi cannot contain mustard seeds?" Shao Jian touched his hair. This was a very bad habit of his and he always touched it when he was proud.
"Good answer!" the person who asked the question shouted.
At this time, the faces of everyone present turned pale, and the anger just now was completely gone.
