Shang Jianyao turned around and said to Bai Chen in the driver's seat:
"Stop parking."
Bai Chen did not refuse, because Jiang Baimian did not immediately suppress Shang Jianyao's behavior.
When the jeep slowed down and stopped on the side of the road, Shang Jian Yao pushed open the door and went straight to Palanga's side, asking persistently:
"What exactly does the catastrophe refer to?"
Palanga, who was wearing gray patched clothes, lowered his head halfway, and walked forward step by step, just like before.
Shang Jianyao adjusted his stride, allowing himself to walk side by side with the other party:
"Master, you and I are both people of Buddhism, compassionate and compassionate, and it is our duty to save all beings. Why don't you be open and honest, tell me about the catastrophe, and inform the world, so that everyone can prepare in advance?"
It's also neatly decorated... Driving on the jeep next to him at a very slow speed, Jiang Baimian and Genova have swapped places and moved to the window next to him.
Before Shang Jian Yao, he had already pressed the car window.
Palanga finally spoke:
"My 'Ascetic Department' doesn't talk about compassion, and I don't have the will to save all sentient beings.
"The Buddha is a teacher, not a savior."
With Shang Jian Yao's ability to talk nonsense, he was actually a little choked at this moment.
He quickly adjusted his thinking:
"Then can you tell me why you can't tell the details of the catastrophe?"
Palanga lowered his head slightly and folded his hands together:
"Namo Amatarasamyaksabodhi."
"Master, are you trying to test my understanding?" Shang Jianyao was suddenly excited.
Jiang Baimian, who was listening in, couldn't help but want to cover his face.
Palanga did not respond to Shang Jianyao, and led the group of ascetic monks to walk forward.
Shang Jianyao took a few steps, followed, rubbed his chin and said:
"Since you don't want to talk about it, Master, then I'm not too hard on me.
"I remember what you said before, 'The omen has appeared, the catastrophe is coming', can you tell me what the 'omen' refers to?"
He wasn't at all embarrassed by asking repeatedly and not getting an answer.
Palanga's footsteps paused.
He finally raised his head, looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, and said in a very complicated tone:
"The Holy Land is beginning to crumble."
"Buddhist Holy Land?" Shang Jianyao's eyes widened slightly, and he asked back.
Palanga returned to his previous state, lowered his head halfway, folded his hands together, and whispered the Buddha's name:
"Namo Amatarasamyaksabodhi."
Shang Jianyao did not ask any further questions, and changed the topic with great interest:
"Mage, what conditions need to be met before you are willing to share the catastrophe?"
Palanga was not annoyed by being entangled all the time, and simply replied:
"Naturally say it when it's time to say it."
Shang Jianyao's face muscles were obviously distorted:
"I hate communicating with you monks the most!
"Don't speak human words!"
Obviously, these monks included "Purdue Zen Master".
Palanga turned his head and glanced at the guy, as if he was a little surprised why he even scolded himself.
Soon, he said thoughtfully:
"Without the appearance of self, without the appearance of no one, without the appearance of sentient beings, and without the appearance of life-span, seeing the Tathagata."
Purdue Zen Master Shang Jianyao scratched his head, not too understanding.
This wild fox Zen is ashamed and clasped his hands together:
"Namo Amu Tara Samak Sambodhi, the poor monk will not disturb the Master."
He turned around, fled quickly to the side of the jeep, and opened the door.
Jiang Baimian motioned Genava to lean against the window on the other side, and squeezed inward to make a seat.
When Shang Jian Yao got in the car and sat firmly, Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator and let the jeep run.
It didn't take long before they left the group of ascetic monks at Palanga so they couldn't see the taillights of their cars.
After driving for another five or six minutes, Shang Jianyao suddenly slapped his thigh:
"It turns out we were wronged!"
"Ah?" Not only Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, but Jiang Baimian and Genawa also made suspicious voices.
Is this thinking too jumpy
Shang Jianyao Zhengshen explained:
"The destruction of those Buddhist holy places is a sign of the impending catastrophe, and whether we participate or not, the same result will occur.
"It can't be said that we destroyed those Buddhist holy places, we just happened to meet!"
The more he spoke, the more earnest he was.
It's actually a bit crooked... Jiang Baimian said "ha":
"You might as well say that we are just arranged tools, and blame the mastermind behind it.
"It's like I gave you a shot and you should be complaining about me, not the gun."
"Yeah, yeah." Long Yuehong also felt that the "old tune group" couldn't take the blame for destroying Buddhist holy places on their backs.
Shang Jianyao suddenly became serious:
"However, it can be seen from another aspect that some schools of Buddhism expected the destruction of the Holy Land.
"This may really have something to do with the so-called 'big catastrophe'."
Long Yuehong was about to nod when Shang Jianyao added:
"Some people think that the destruction of the old world was not complete enough?"
"Uh..." Long Yuehong's heart sank.
If there is another destruction of the old world, even if the "Pangu creatures" are hidden in the ground, they may not be spared.
He felt that life was full of rush!
"What should come will come sooner or later." Jiang Baimian summed up the discussion just now with this sentence.
Fear is unavoidable.
…
In the evening, the "Old Tunes Group" arrived at a virgin forest with beautiful scenery.
They found a ranger's hut left over from the old world on the edge, removed the vines piled up on the surface, and simply cleaned up the messy room.
"Those who are not on duty tonight will sleep in." After a simple dinner, Jiang Baimian gave the order.
The honest Genova volunteered:
"You can all sleep in your room, and I'll stay outside.
"Anyway, I can't charge here. In sleep mode, I can still respond to the surrounding movement to a certain extent."
"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "I don't have to suffer from injustice."
She immediately made further arrangements:
"Hey and I will be on duty tonight. Xiaobai and Xiaohong are sleeping in the room. Lao Ge will rest in the car and use the solar charging panel to get some blood back."
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao agreed very quickly.
Of course, Long Yuehong has no opinion and chooses the default.
After eating for a while, and after the internal discussion meeting, Jiang Baimian put on a "short neck" submachine gun and said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:
"You rest."
She pushed open the door of the ranger's hut and walked out into the darkness.
Shang Jianyao and Genava followed closely, and the former closed the door with great care.
Suddenly, the interior of the hut became extremely quiet.
Long Yuehong was a little uneasy like a conditioned reflex, glanced left and right and said:
"Hurry up and rest, you have to get up in the early morning to replace the team leader and the others."
"Okay." Bai Chen sat on the wooden bed that was sprinkled with biological insect repellent and covered with a marching quilt.
Long Yuehong sat at the side of the bed after a distance.
He opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
After adjusting his state for more than ten seconds, he finally came up with a topic:
"Xiao Bai, why do you like me?"
After asking, Long Yuehong almost raised her right hand and slapped herself.
Yes, right hand.
Bai Chen thought for a while and said:
"Since my parents passed away, no one has ever treated me with such care as you."
Long Yuehong was ecstatic and lacked self-confidence for a while, so she instinctively said, "I am only 1.75 meters after genetic modification..."
At this moment, Bai Chen added:
"And, you are a brave man."
Long Yuehong couldn't help but smile.
Bai Chen looked at him and asked back:
"Then why do you like me?"
Long Yuehong scratched his head with his left hand:
"I don't know when it started. Maybe it was the time when we gradually had a conversation between us, or maybe we felt very comfortable staying together even if we didn't talk, and we didn't have to think about how to liven up the atmosphere."
"You don't seem very comfortable now." Bai Chen hit the nail on the head.
Long Yuehong smiled awkwardly, and then said "oops".
"What's wrong?" Bai Chen asked.
Long Yuehong changed her right hand and scratched her hair:
"Before, I read some entertainment materials in the old world. It said that when you get along with the girls you like, don't ask why you like or dislike these topics that are direct and easy to embarrass the atmosphere. As a result, I just forgot all about it. now…”
forgotten…
Bai Chen's eyes moved slightly:
"Then it says how to get along and what to talk about?"
Just as Long Yuehong was about to answer, she suddenly saw that under the light of the fire outside, the corners of Bai Chen's eyes were slightly curved, his eyes were shining like stars, and his lips were slightly open.
brush!
Jiang Baimian grabbed Shang Jianyao's back collar and dragged him away from the window of the forest ranger's hut.
This guy just sneakily tried to stick his head out from the side to lower the blockage of the light.
"Patrol well!" Jiang Baimian released his left hand and let go of Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jian Yao straightened his clothes and said in a low voice:
"Aren't you curious?"
"Uh..." Jiang Baimian hesitated.
She immediately raised her face and said:
"Be polite!"
"Yeah." I don't know which Shang Jian Yao deeply agreed.
He began to patrol in earnest.
…
After five or six days, the "old tune group", who had been traveling to the northeast, found that the surrounding buildings were gradually denser.
This means that there is likely a ruined city ahead of them.
From the lack of reference map, this may or may not be Taicheng.
