Bai Xi paused for a moment, "I have read a story about a lioness and her cub walking on the road. A dog suddenly ran over and started barking. The lioness left with her cub. The cub was puzzled.
Asked: "Mom, why don't we bite that dog?" The lioness said, "We are lions. If we fight with a dog, we will be laughed at. If we win, it is natural, but if we lose, we will be laughed at."
It's embarrassing, why do you do something you know is meaningless? So, my answer is, I won't pay attention."
Mingfa smiled, "I just heard many different answers. Your mentality, your character, and your life position determine your different reactions.
Some people cannot afford to suffer. If you scold me, I will scold you. This is a personal choice, and it is not wrong in the first place. But when you stop to scold him a few words, you will also be scolded a few more times.
This kind of behavior, firstly, will cause others to watch the show, secondly, you will be scolded a lot more, and most importantly, you will be scolded more and more angrily, and your blood pressure will be higher and higher, which will affect your health.
When we have a choice, we can think more clearly. This is what I want to say today, the consequences of thinking."
Bai Xi's cell phone rang, and she immediately pressed the ringtone.
Aunt Jin looked at her displeased and lowered her voice: "You didn't mute the sound."
Bai Xi saw that the call was from Lu Yiyun, "Sorry, I'm going out to make adjustments."
Bai Xi went out through the back door and walked a hundred meters before answering.
"Mr. Bai, are you free now? They are having a party today and I will take you there with them." Lu Yiyun said.
Bai Xi frowned. She estimated that the people Lu Yiyun was talking about were those from the Long family, and she wanted to go there.
But I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through today.
"I'm currently accompanying Aunt Jin to listen to Zen and offer incense in Fumen Mountain. I don't think I'll be back until tomorrow. I'll contact you when I get back tomorrow." Bai Xi said helplessly.
"Oh, that's good. Anyway, they often get together, so there's a chance." Lu Yiyun said regretfully.
"I'm dead." Bai Xi said simply, without immediately going in to listen to Zen.
It's late autumn and early winter now. It's past seven o'clock and the sky is completely dark. Most people are listening to Zen, but the surroundings seem particularly quiet.
Bai Xi sat on the corridor of the stone temple, looking at the stars under the mountain.
When Ji Chenling is worried and unhappy, he likes to go to the top of the mountain.
The more I miss him, the lonelier I feel. Even the night feels sad.
I don’t know how long I sat there when I heard Aunt Jin’s voice, “How long do you plan to sit here?”
Bai Xi stood up immediately, "I want to get some air."
"I think your listening to Master Mingfa's class will be of great help to your mood and mentality, so I brought you here, but you don't seem to appreciate it." Aunt Jin said sharply.
"What he said made sense, and he woke up the dreamer with his words. It was because I was restless and failed Aunt Jin's kindness. I'm sorry."
"The only one you're sorry for is yourself. Go back to sleep. You'll have to get up early tomorrow. If you can't sleep, tell the little novice monks and they will remix the aromatherapy for you." Aunt Jin said, turning and walking towards the dormitory.
Bai Xi returned to the room. She had already taken a shower today. She was about to lie on the bed when there was a knock on the door.
Bai Xi opened the door, and the little novice monk stood at the door, "Donor, abbot please give me a request."
Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had something to ask the abbot, and followed the young novice to the abbot's reception room.
When Master Mingfa saw Bai Xi coming, he poured a glass of water and placed it on the opposite side, "You have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't give you tea to avoid falling asleep."
Bai Xi sat opposite him, "I see there's no point in coming back after you answer the phone. Maybe the life here makes you feel boring."
"That's not true. I just want to clear up some things alone. Master Mingfa, who was your previous abbot?" Bai Xi asked curiously.
"Dufa is also my master. His lay name is Jin Huanyi. All dharmas are unified." Mingfa said.
"Do you know what his relationship is with Aunt Jin?" Bai Xi asked directly.
Mingfa paused, "You don't know?"
Bai Xi shook his head, "Should I know?"
"Master has passed away. I don't know much about his old man. I called the donor here to give him something as a gift." Mingfa took out a red box from below and handed it to Bai Xi.
"No reward for no merit." Bai Xi didn't accept it.
"You don't want to know what it is?"
"Whatever it is, I don't want it." Bai Xi refused.
"Forget it." Mingfa put the box on the table, "It's already dark, the donor should take a rest early."
Bai Xi returned to the room, feeling very sleepy for no reason, and fell asleep shortly after going to bed.
In the morning, she was woken up by a knock on the door. When she opened the door, it was still dark. Aunt Jin was standing outside the door, "Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash up, and come over for morning meditation."
"Oh." Bai Xi looked at the time and saw that it was only four o'clock.
After briefly brushing her teeth and washing herself, she followed Aunt Jin to the morning meditation room.
It's less than 4:30 now, and it's already full of people.
Bai Xi yawned, "Don't these people sleep?
She sat down next to Aunt Jin.
The monks also got up very early, banging wooden fish and chanting sutras.
Chanting sutras was like singing, but Bai Xi couldn't hear a word clearly.
After the monks finished chanting, they began to retreat. Those who stayed behind closed their eyes and meditated.
Bai Xi wanted to close his eyes and think about what to do next, but after a while, he heard a fat man snoring not far away.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling the urge to laugh.
She likes to think before going to bed, and doesn't like to be woken up at four o'clock by someone who comes out to sit here and meditate.
This is only suitable for old ladies. Older people cannot sleep and wake up early in the morning. Young people must sleep.
Perhaps the little fat man's voice was too magical, and he was pushed awake by the person next to him. He wiped his saliva and asked, "Are you done?"
"What's the matter? It will take another hour. You are so insincere, be careful not to find a partner yet."
"I've been here with you twice, but I haven't found anyone yet." The little fat man muttered.
After finally surviving an hour, Bai Xi followed Aunt Jin to have breakfast at six o'clock.
Breakfast is also self-service.
Aunt Jin simply took a steamed bun, poured a glass of soy milk, and found a chair to sit down.
Bai Xi took some fried noodles and sat across from Aunt Jin.
"Do you know what I was thinking just now?" Aunt Jin asked.
Bai Xi shook his head.
"How to seek revenge on Long Youfei? Have you thought of a countermeasure? Or are you still running around like a headless fly, hitting wherever you hit?" Aunt Jin asked, looking at Bai Xi indifferently.
"I want to recognize Long Yihang first and let my daughter be safe first," Bai Xi said.
"Your daughter is Ji Chenling's child, right? The Ji family doesn't have the ability to protect her? It's impossible. The Ji family and the Long family are equally powerful." Aunt Jin said suspiciously.
Bai Xi lowered his eyes, "Ji Chenling's grandparents like Tiantian very much, but they are in the countryside, let alone protecting Tiantian, they may be implicated. If it is left to Ji Chenling's father, I am worried that Tiantian will be treated as medicine, Liyang
I don’t like Tiantian and I’m pregnant again. Grandpa Ji Chenling won’t treat Tiantian well. As long as Tiantian is safe, I can give it a try.”
"Your so-called giving it a try is just an egg hitting a rock. I'll give you a way." Aunt Jin said.
