Chapter 84 Empty
Two men who were supposed to be at each other's throats were having a drink and chatting in the quiet second floor of the bar at around three o'clock in the morning. This kind of scene happened to Chong Tiange and Lin Xingyuan. It was really strange.
Lin Xingyuan stared at the wine glass in his hand. It was divided into two layers: orange red and lemon yellow. The entrance was soft and sweet, but the alcohol content was not low. He knew that the name of this wine was very nice, it was called "Covet".
The dictionary explanation is to hope for something you shouldn’t get.
"It's rare for Mr. Chong to be so elegant tonight. Lin should be all ears."
He raised his glass briefly, and the smile on his face was extremely elegant and calm, without any hint of a war between men about to break out.
Chong Tiange looked at him, gently tapped the table with his right hand on the bar table a few times, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and said leisurely: "A while ago, the old man went, and the family invited a Taoist priest
The eminent monk came to perform rituals. By chance, the master told me a short story about the Sixth Patriarch Huineng."
Lin Xingyuan nodded slightly and said: "Master Huineng is the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. Legend has it that he was illiterate and relied on selling firewood to support his mother when he was young. But when he heard the Diamond Sutra for the first time, he understood something and went to seek Dharma.
"
Chong Tiange also nodded and said softly: "Yes, among the short stories about the Sixth Patriarch Huineng that have been circulated in later generations, I am afraid that the most familiar one is 'The Wind Moves the Flags'."
It is said that Huineng, the sixth founder of Zen Buddhism, lived in Faxing Temple in Guangzhou before he received full ordination. One day, a Zen master from Yinzong was giving a lecture on the Nirvana Sutra. Flags and flags were erected in front of the temple because of the master's lecture. Because Zen master Yinzong was famous far and wide, so
A large number of people came from all over the place. Two monks among them started talking when they saw the flags flying in the square.
One of the monks said, it was the flags and flags that were moving. The other monk said, no, it was the wind that was moving. The two argued endlessly, attracting many people to watch.
At this time, Master Huineng interrupted and said loudly, it is not the flags or the wind that are moving, it is your hearts that are moving.
Therefore, it is recorded in the "Tan Sutra": It is not the flags that move, it is not the wind that moves, but the heart of a benevolent person moves.
Lin Xingyuan had naturally heard of this little story that had been circulating for many years. After hearing it, he nodded again and said with a smile: "What a surprise. I didn't expect people like Mr. Chong to be interested in Buddhism. Like you and me.
People like this cannot escape the turmoil of the mortal world, so this kind of peace of mind is probably very difficult to obtain."
This time, there was a touch of sarcasm in his tone. Whether it was himself or Chong Tiange, they were all businessmen with the smell of copper on their hands. They had endless money, and they still tried to get salvation from the Buddha. It was really idiotic.
!
"It's not that I'm interested, but I think the word 'heartbeat' is a bit mysterious. Master told me that this means that the wind and flags are external and illusory, while the human heart transcends time and space and is eternally lonely.
Yes, its essence is quiet. People should understand the emptiness of their own nature, seek Buddha in their hearts, and not be confused by external objects. What he said is quite mysterious philosophy, but I have some extended ideas about it.
view."
As Chong Tiange said this, he stood up from the high chair, walked around behind the bar, and opened the refrigerator himself.
He took out the carton of milk just now, poured half a glass, then picked up a few ice cubes. Finally, he picked up the bottles of base wine on the bar one by one and poured them into it one by one.
After shaking the wine glass, the liquid in the glass showed a strange color. Lin Xingyuan frowned. He really didn't think that such a thing could be called bartending. Just looking at it made it difficult to swallow.
Chong Tiange didn't take it seriously, and sat back down, looking level with his eyes.
"My sentiment is that as long as I live, I can do whatever my heart wants to do. What others say doesn't count. What do you think?"
After that, in front of Lin Xingyuan, he drank up the messy liquid mixed in his hands in one gulp.
"Bang."
The empty glass was tipped upside down on the bar by Chong Tiange, with not a drop left in it.
Lin Xingyuan's eyes inevitably flickered for a moment, but only for a moment, the smile returned to his face, and he praised: "Mr. Chong is indeed a unique person, I admire him. It's just...
"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wine glass Chong Tiange had just used, and said with a smile: "I just don't know how this glass of wine tastes? But I also feel a little itchy and want to try it."
Just when Lin Xingyuan's fingertips were almost touching the cold cup wall, Chong Tiange reached out to block his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "I advise you not to. Whether this glass of wine tastes good or not, it
It's all mine. You have your wine, so why do you need to taste mine? If you take a sip and think it tastes good, and follow suit, and mix a glass from time to time and drink it yourself, wouldn't that be unfair?
Am I alone?"
He said seriously, as if he was really talking about this glass of wine with Lin Xingyuan.
"Oh, you are so confident that this glass of wine really belongs to you alone?"
Lin Xingyuan said that he did not speak well of Tian Ge, so he simply took off the mask he had maintained for a long time, his face was cold, and he did not answer questions.
"No, it's not confidence."
Chong Tiange raised the corner of his mouth at him and smiled extremely proudly. Under his gaze, he suddenly waved his hand and knocked the empty glass on the bar to the ground.
"Crack!"
The wine glass shattered immediately, scattering glass shards all over the floor. Lin Xing, who was standing behind the bar, suddenly retracted his feet.
In the second half of the night, the temperature of the air conditioner inevitably seemed a bit low, making people feel faintly chilly.
Probably Lin Xingyuan had explained in advance that there were so many waiters downstairs and when they heard the sound, none of them came up to disturb him.
"It's conviction."
Chong Tiange raised his chin slightly proudly. He was about the same height as Lin Xingyuan, but the latter was relatively thinner. At this moment, the two men were standing face to face, with only a not-so-wide bar between them.
"Stop looking for her, she is not yours."
Chong Tiange didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore, so he simply made his words clear. Although he didn't say the words "Ye Yingning", he believed that Lin Xingyuan would not be unable to figure out who the woman he was referring to was.
"I am very innocent, and you know Ye Lanan's character very well. She..."
Lin Xingyuan spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, as if he still didn't want to be at a disadvantage with his words. His tone was calm, but his delicate and narrow eyes revealed a provocative and passionate light.
"Don't tell me, with her ability, if you didn't mean it, she could easily know about you! Lin Xingyuan, what kind of man are you, hiding behind women, is it interesting?"
Chong Tiange interrupted what he had not finished, and when he spoke again, his words were almost insulting.
He didn't need to know what kind of woman Ye Lanan was, but how much she weighed, Chong Tiange, who had met countless people, could tell at a glance. She thought she had discovered some shocking secret accidentally, but she didn't know
That was just Lin Xingyuan trying to borrow her hand. This pampered daughter-in-law was no match for Lin Xingyuan at all.
"I'm not a man, what about you? In the eyes of everyone, the favored man of heaven, Chong Tiange, you'd better think carefully about it, have you ever done anything untoward in the past thirty years?"
