Chapter 12 Just a Gentleman
The years after death are the most difficult to endure.
Chen Changsheng constantly adjusted his mindset and devoted most of his time to refining his spirit, which also made his mind a little clearer after his "death".
In the continuous practice, he also sensed some subtle changes.
If it were in the past, he would have found it hard to control his thoughts after "death", but now he can manage to "think" and "not think". It sounds simple, but in fact, it is a very difficult thing.
Once again sinking into that void of oblivion, Chen Changsheng felt a peace he had never experienced before.
There is no inner fear, nor any complaint.
Such a mysterious state made Chen Changsheng intoxicated and even somewhat addicted.
Is this what it means to refine the spirit? It's truly mysterious... '
Chen Changsheng maintained the state of refining his spirit, because in his view, this could make the time after "death" pass more quickly.
Wait for the next wake-up.
...
The three members of the Tong family went to the City God Temple overnight.
Tong Zhihuan bowed his head several times in front of the statue of the City God, and his parents were sincerely apologizing.
When the City God listened to his voice, he heard the three words "Mr. Chen" and also noticed these three people.
"Tong Zhi Huan, Tong CAI Zheng..." '
The Old City God thought for a moment and then looked at the several people kneeling below the hall.
He saw that the boy was surrounded by golden light, which was his merit.
It turned out to be Doctor Tong from Renji Hall. '
It's no wonder that he has such good deeds.
Tong Zhihuan then offered three more incense sticks to the City God.
Tong Caizheng began to speak, "My child accidentally offended the immortal and committed a great sin of disrespect. He has come here to atone for his SINS..."
Kneeling and kneeling, bowing and bowing.
Yu Shi was also by her side. Tong Zhihuan sincerely admitted her mistake and hoped to be forgiven.
After staying in the temple for half an hour, the family of three finally got up and went back.
The Old City God watched the three who had left and began to think in his heart.
Logically speaking, this is indeed a great disrespect. But since Mr. Chen was willing to let Tong Zhi go, he probably didn't mind these minor matters.
His father, Tong Caizheng, was a doctor in the workshop and had accumulated good deeds. Over the years, he often provided free medical consultations, which greatly reduced the suffering of the Qiuyue Workshop.
It would be better to take a walk. That way, they won't think too much.
Night.
Tong Zhihuan was still scared in her heart. She slept with her parents all night long.
"Zhi Huan, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. Just sleep soundly. Father and mother are both here."
"Um."
Mother coaxed him again and didn't fall asleep until very late.
Tong Zhihuan fell asleep and then entered a dream.
In that dream, he seemed to see an old man dressed in a yellow and blue robe.
He recognized it at a glance. This outfit was just like that of the City God in the City God Temple.
"City, Lord City God..."
"Tong Zhi Huan, do you know the sin!"
Tong Zhihuan was so frightened in her dream that she trembled all over. After kneeling down, she quickly admitted her mistake.
"City God, I know I was wrong. I dare not do it again. Father, Mother, where are you? Father..."
Tong Zhihuan cried especially loudly in her dream.
The old City God, who had fallen into a dream, was taken aback at this scene.
"Be quiet!!"
The Old City God shouted, and suddenly, Tong Zhihuan in the dream found that he couldn't cry any more.
He looked at the old City God in front of him in terror.
The Old City God cleared his throat and said, "Although you offended the Immortal, fortunately, the Immortal didn't hold anything against you. And you have realized your mistake. From now on, remember never to do what you did today again. Otherwise, no one can save you."
Tong Zhi Huan opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. He could only nod to show that he knew.
The Old City God nodded slightly and then waved his sleeve.
Tong Zhihuan woke up from the dream.
He gasped heavily and sat up from the bed.
Father and Mother were both fast asleep, and at this time, it was pitch-dark outside.
"Huhuhu..."
Tong Zhi's throat rolled and it took him quite a while to come to his senses.
"God, immortal..."
What a god!
Tong Zhihuan's gaze was somewhat dull, and he felt a wave of lingering fear in his heart.
But thinking of what the City God had said in his dream just now, his heart, which had been in suspense, finally settled down.
It's okay. It's okay...
Tong Zhihuan patted his chest. He glanced at his sleeping father and mother, then lay down obediently and fell into a peaceful sleep.
...
A thin mist rose, the sky was overcast, and the crowing of roosters could be heard from the streets.
Qiu Yue Fang flows out of Yun Guan.
In the hall, there is a table, on which there are fruits and some preserved fruits. These are for entertaining guests.
In the Liuyun Temple, all these are top-quality things that are not available on a regular basis. Only during the Lantern Festival can one enjoy a peach. But now, this table is filled with a pile of them.
This really made the four senior students in the temple envious.
But when he turned his head, he saw that the master was still standing at the entrance of the temple, as if waiting for someone's arrival.
The youngest Perilla asked in a soft voice, "Senior brother, who do you think Master is waiting for?"
Chang Shan shook his head and said, "Senior Brother doesn't know either."
The mist in the mountain stream gradually receded. When the sky was completely bright, a woodman came up the mountain.
Chai Fu came up to the abbot Xuanhuang and said, "Master, yesterday afternoon, the officials outside the City God Temple left."
Xuanhuang came to his senses and asked again, "Has the City God Temple opened as well?"
Chai Fu nodded and said, "It's open."
Xuanhuang sighed slightly in his heart. He knew he wouldn't be able to wait for Mr. Chen.
"Thank you for your help. Please come into the temple and have a bowl of tea. There are also some fruits that you can taste." "
"Master, you're too kind. I won't drink any tea. I still have some business to finish, so I'm going back first. I won't disturb you in your meditation." "
Xuanhuang walked into the Taoist temple, took out two peaches, caught up with them, and then forced the peaches into Chai Fu's arms.
After much persuasion, the woodcutter reluctantly put it away.
After seeing Chai Fu off.
Xuanhuang also returned to the audience.
He saw several apprentices looking at him longingly and knew clearly that they were craving for the fruits and preserves on this table.
Don't you really want to eat it?
Xuanhuang smiled and said, "Go and take it."
Second Senior Brother Shang Lu winked and asked, "Master, can it really be eaten?"
"Ok." Xuanhuang nodded and smiled, saying, "But it must be eaten up. There should be no leftovers. Otherwise, it would be a pity."
Hearing this, the four apprentices immediately beamed with joy and one by one ran to the table to eat.
The little junior sister, Zisu, began to chew on a peach, with another one stuffed in her arms. The eldest senior brother took a piece of preserved fruit and shared the rest with his fellow apprentices.
Xuanhuang found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
Senior Brother Changshan stepped forward and handed a peach to the master. "Master, a peach."
Xuanhuang shook his head and said with a smile, "Master won't eat anymore. You guys will."
The third junior brother, Xuan Shen, came forward. He was eating the preserved fruit and asked, "Master, who on earth are you waiting for?"
Xuanhuang saw that all four disciples were very curious.
"All want to know?"
"Um."
I want to know.
The four disciples looked at their master, not eating anything and just waiting for him to speak.
Xuanhuang merely gave a gentle smile and spoke slowly, "Just a gentleman."
"Sir?"
"Well, just a gentleman."
"So, is the gentleman the master mentioned not coming?" "
"It will come."
Xuanhuang closed his eyes and said, "It will come sooner or later."
