I looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "I don't think so…"
“I can't make everyone happy" Zhou Yuan's tone didn't contain any traces of happiness or anger. "I used to believe that I chose a path that could make me rich in a short time, but no matter how hard I try, I was unable to make it better. I thought that I could make myself more outstanding with Lan Ruo, but in the end, everything happened in vain. My mother is right. Maybe I really am not a qualified son …”
He turned to be more and more insane. It was obvious that he had completely denied himself. "Don't think like that. We all know you are very good. You are nice, hardworking, and very popular, otherwise why would we come to see you? Even the director said he wants to visit you as well. "
Zhou Yuan shook his head. "It's not what you think. Let me show you something."
Zhou Yuan started taking off his T-shirt.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop playing rogue!" I was about to stop him when his movements were getting weirder and weirder, but I suddenly saw a terrible scene.
There were many wounds on Zhou Yuan’s body, every single one of which extended at least a couple inches. The wounds covered his chest, abdomen, and both sides of his ribs. Each wound was at least an inch deep! These wounds were stitched close with needle and thread to prevent turning out, just like sewing a wound after an operation, but the stitches were made using ordinary needle and thread. The wounds were scabbed, but looked terrible. Without a shirt, Zhou Yuan was just a walking dead in Resident Evil.
“Jesus! What's wrong with you? " The first word came into my mind was self-mutilation. Many people with extremely heavy mental stress would do this, but the wound should be shallow because the pain would make them stop.
Liu Shuai looked at the upper half of Zhou Yuan's body, and he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. “Are you insane? Call an ambulance!"
Zhou Yuan looked at us with a wry smile and waved his hand. This action pulled his wounds, some of which were pulling at the seams on the sides. "I've discovered something. As long as I don’t think about it, I won't feel pain, not only mentally, but physically as well. What my mother just said to me could make me feel very uncomfortable in the past, but now I only have reactive responses. I feel nothing pain in my heart. I've cut so many wounds on my body, but I feel nothing as long as I don't think about it. I won't leave even a drop of blood if I don’t want to. If you don't believe me, look …"
Zhou Yuan picked up the blade on the table and slashed at his own stomach. I was so scared that I snatched the blade away, “I believe you!"
Zhou Yuan, who was robbed of his blade, did not resist, but continued to sit on the small stool. Looking at his upper body, even I felt pain, and immediately passed the T-shirt to him. "Put it one, don't catch a cold."
Zhou Yuan obediently put his clothes on like a rabbit. "Look, Monkey King has an unbreakable body that could resist blade. Although I do not have that ability, but I feel no pain neither when I get cut."
"What's going on?" I came back to reality and asked Liu Shuai.
“Nothing is sadder than the death of heart”.Liu Shuai sighed, “I used to consider it as nonsense, but now I understand. 'Death of the heart’ means the death of soul. Now that his soul is gone, his physical body is still alive, but without the entanglement of his soul, his becomes too rational, just like a machine. His reacts to everything based on the experience he has gained over the years, and over time, he will learn to control his own nerves and body. That’s why he feels no pain right now. Years ago when I heard the story that Buddha cut his flesh to feed a falcon, I always felt that it was bullshit, because it must hurt a lot. While now I get the idea as I watch his status. If Buddha cultivated to an indestructible, immaculate, and pure level, then he must be able control his flesh nerves with his will, and there will be no pain at all."
"So, Zhou Yuan became a Buddha?" Even I found this conclusion odd.
"No, on the contrary, it is very dangerous. Soul, entanglement and fear are essential to a person's survival. Since Zhou Yuan does not have these things now, he is in danger at any time. " Liu Shuai noticed that I did not understand. He could tell whether Zhou Yuan was following him or not, so he continued to explain, "for example, let me ask you, is a computer afraid of being shut down?"
"No!"
"Is a computer afraid of video card switch or being opened up?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"Because it doesn't know pain. Well, because it doesn't have a sensor. That's not right either. Maybe because, uh, because it's a machine. “
Liu Shuai smiled and looked at me. "Then tell me, what is the fundamental difference between a human and a machine?"
I stared at him. Such a philosophical question had never come into my mind. "How would I know about it? You're a R & D, and I'm just a product manager."
"Actually you know it, and you told me before. It’s just that you forgot!" Liu Shuai looked at me and also looked at Zhou Yuan, "because a computer has no concept of death, but a human does."
Hmm, I seem to have mentioned that weird theory at a time we were eating and bragging. I didn't expect him to be interested.
“Live as you will die." Liu Shuai lowered his head and thought. "I did not understand either, but now, I comprehend. If there was no fear of death, then there would be no love for life, if —" Liu Shuai looked up at Zhou Yuan, "If there was no resistance to pain, then there would not be a pursuit to happiness. If a person feels no pain, which serves as a threat to life, then he would have not fear of death, or resistance to pain, neither does he have happiness or the desire to live."
The more I listened, the more I felt like I had entered into a deep pit. It seems like Zhou Yuan would cut his throat the next second.
“But Zhou Yuan wouldn't die now, right?" Liu Shuai looked at Zhou Yuan.
"I won't, because I will tell my body that I won't die," Zhou Yuan replied seriously, “However, I've been thinking about one thing lately, that what the meaning of life is.”
"You can't figure it out." Liu Shuai patted his shoulder. ”Don't worry, we will quickly return your soul to its original position. After that, you will still be that happy, sad, and lenient Zhou Yuan! You have Yan and me. Yan is a person with a lot of mana." Liu Shuai looked at me and stopped me talking.
"Let's grab some food."
… ….
When we went back at night, Liu Shuai shew a serious expression. When we arrived at the place where we should split, Liu Shuai clenched his teeth, as if he had made a huge decision, and said, "Hao Ning, go ask Yan to see if there is any way to find my master.”
"Your master?" I felt that it was strange. This brat wasn't willing to tell me about his matters a few days ago, why did he bring up this matter today? “You mean your master could save Zhou Yuan?”
"No, but he might be able to find a person who can.”
"Who is it? Even more powerful than Yan? " I was a little curious. Liu Shuai seems keeping a lot of secrets.
Liu Shuai looked at me with an unsettled expression. Finally, he spoke a word out of loud,
"Avalokitesvara!"
"Avalokitesvara?" I suddenly felt something in my heart. I knew that Liu Shuai, by his nature, wouldn't joke around with me over such a matter, so I tentatively recited a passage, “as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva walked deeply into Prajna Paramita, he found all the five senses empty and the sufferings were relieved. Are you talking about this person? "Liu Shuai laughed bitterly, "What you said was the imagination of the descendants. I know as much about this as you do. I only heard my master mention it once, that he was with the Avalokitesvara. As he said that, he looked at me and sighed, saying that I would not understand, and did not continue. But regarding the Avalokitesvara's sacred art, no matter how theatrical the legend is, there should always be some realty, especially his two great magic tools which no one has ever questioned before. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You should ask Yan if there is any way to find my master, even tho
"No!" I found myself saying the wrong thing and wanted to smack myself in the face.The next day."Are you sure?" Liu Shuai looked at me, then looked at the counter. "Are you sure I can find my master by this?""Hmm …" I was a little bit diffident, "Yan said so, but I don't believe him.""Okay," Liu Shuai obviously did not believe it either, but he still said to the waiter, "Please help me wrap it up.""Alright," The waiter had a professional smile on his face as he asked, "Sir, are you buying this Apple watch as a gift to someone else?"I looked at Liu Shuai awkwardly.Liu Shuai's face was expressionless as he clenched his teeth and squeezed out two words:"Save life!"Today was weekend, so Liu Shuai and I were carrying the box of Apple Watch as we sat in the car headi
Was that Zhang Quan Dan? Liu Shuai and I looked at each other in astonishment.No wonder he looked so familiar. That was Zhang Quan Dan, a popular figure on the network who claimed to be a staff Fu Tu Kang Corporation. Could Liu Shuai's master be that weird? I stared at Liu Shuai, who was also completely unaware of the situation …"Zhang Quan!" The young man was a little excited, "I don't have a Dan! Ah no, I am just Zhang Quan, not Zhang Quan Dan! "Zhang Quan bared his fangs and claws as he explained. Liu Shuai and I looked at each other in disdain. We were 99% sure that Yan gave us a wrong number.Liu Shuai picked up his iWatch and prepared to leave.Zhang Quan stopped us immediately and chuckled, "This is for me, right?"Liu Shuai said snappily, "No. Wrong person!"“How does Zhou Yuan do?" Zhang Quan suddenly said this.Liu Shuai's
At that time, I felt a strange warm wind slowly blowing across my body and onto Zhang Quan's body. Liu Shuai also felt it, and immediately grabbed onto a screwdriver in the conference room. Then, he drew a formation on the ground around Zhang Quan that was very similar to the one he made last time. After that, the warmth current became even stronger, and was even causing my clothes to flutter.After an unknown period of time, Zhang Quan's face started to change, well, not his face, exactly, which did not change. Instead, his psychic began to change. He was a reckless youth at first, while then he had the expression of a master.Zhang Quan looked at Liu Shuai without any grief and joy, "it's you …"Liu Shuai looked at Zhang Quan with mixed feelings, "yes, and you're my?""That was my previous life. In this one, I am Zhang Quan." Zhang Quan said calmly.Although I had read those fantasy nove
Western New Field was a landmark of S City. My colleague told me that there was a street-long indoor shopping mall, the most inclusive and fastest luxury products and most distinctively, a KTV in a which even the toilets were made of pure silver.After I told Liu Shuai about this, Zhang Quan, who was at the side, expressed disdain only. A place like that might not match his temperament. "Pure silver is nothing impressive. When I cultivated in the past, the Multicolored Spirit Stones by my side were much more precious than that."Liu Shuai heard it and asked immediately, "So do you have any treasures left?"Zhang Quan looked at him sideways a little embarrassedly. "Cultivation costs a lot, otherwise how could I be here, in Fu Tu Kang, right now?"Liu Shuai gave a plain response and continued, "Not because of Li Xiao Hua?"“That’s another reason.” Zhang Quan gave out a spring smile
"That's all ~""Alright!"I scratched my head. It seemed like I've heard this phrase before. I did not know why but I recently felt that there were some things I've experienced but yet I could not remember.Zhang Quan did not care much, as though all of this had nothing to do with him, and he walked straight in. The two of us followed like small fries. I scolded myself and felt wretched. It was just a place, yet this aura pressured down on us, making us have no choice but to be cautious. Looking at Zhang Quan's indifferent expression, we couldn't help but to admire him in our hearts. A man with years of cultivation did have the maturation.Zhang Quan closed the door, laughed, and sat on the sofa.It was then that I realized how big the office was. It was so enough that reminded me of a small movie theater in junior high school when I was a kid. The theater was big enough to accommodate our two class
"I mean, Brother Yun, oh no, Brother Zhang Quan," Zhang Chi Hang looked at the cloud of mist and said to Zhang Quan with interest, “could you find anything abnormal about it?"Zhang Quan was also squinting his eyes as he looked at the cloud, and laughed out after a while, "no wonder those experts could not handle it. Interesting. Liu Shuai, you guys come over and take a look as well."Liu Shuai and I didn't have a good vision, so we walked over, and only when we were closed did we admire Zhang Chi Hang's mana. Although made up of glass dust and water, black clouds rolled about, and the plane was extremely vivid. I couldn't help but to praise, "Mr. Zhang Chi Hang, this is awesome. You creation is similar to hologram. How could you —""Don't talk bullshit," Zhang Chi Hang smiled slightly, then said, "do you think you're doing crosstalk, and even bringing along a joke? Be quick, take a good look. M
Zhang Chi Hang smoothly swap the willow branch, after which crystal, transparent and shining rains fell down on the dark cloud covering the plain. The rain was truly magical. The sky was originally dark, and only after occasional thunder could we see the raindrops in the sky. But although the raindrops that Zhang Chi Hang brushed out were small, they emitted a glow and instantly illuminated the pitch-black sky. As the rain fell on the dark cloud, grey smoke began to rise from them, and the dark cloud shivered each time a raindrop fell on it. It seemed like someone was screaming in the thunder. I listened carefully and heard voices like “South Sea Divine Technique” “Where does the Merit Water come from?” The spinning cup seemed to have a suction force that sucked in all the smoke.Just in a while, the dark cloud violently shook as a golden light pierced through the sky and came closer and closer. It grew bigger and bigger as it flew and rushed straight towards Zhang Chi
