Song Gudao walked out of Chen Changsheng's yard and went to find the dog.
The courtyard is adjacent, but within half an hour, Song Gudao left without knowing what he said to the dog.
But that day, the dog knocked on Mr. Chen’s door again.
He wanted to hear Mr. Chen's opinion.
"Song Gudao came to see you just now."
"Um……"
The dog lowered his head and said, "I told you something."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Did you agree?"
"Still hesitating."
Gou'er paused and said, "Does Mr. Chen know about this?"
Chen Changsheng said: "When he came, he asked me first, and then he went to find you."
Gou'er pursed his lips and said, "In your opinion, sir, should I go? If I go, what can I do?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Only you can make the decision about this narrow escape."
The dog fell silent.
He couldn't make up his mind.
"My husband asked me to take a longer view, but he didn't explain what Buddha is. I heard Chief Song said that he called me little monk, and what does little monk mean..."
The dog was talking, but he talked about something else vaguely. He was absent-minded and didn't know how to make a decision.
Gou'er raised his head and said: "When I was in the human world, Mr. Chen said that I should be a killer instead of a Buddha. I didn't understand what Mr. Chen meant by killing before, but now I understand that this is the Buddha..."
Chen Changsheng explained: "The so-called Buddha is actually a state where we can put down all worldly distractions and greed and delusion, and be able to look away from all desires, pain, gains and losses, so that we can be relieved and reach a transcendent state. , use an ordinary heart to face all the extraordinary things in the world, act according to the circumstances, and be at peace with the situation, this is the Buddha."
"Put it down and take a dim view..."
The dog murmured in his mouth, thinking about all the things he had experienced.
Floods and natural disasters, the fight under the city platform, the fighting of tens of thousands of people, everything turned into smoke and ashes, and the scenes appeared in my mind like a revolving lantern.
Suffering, greed, murderous thoughts, life and death...
If you say you can go with the flow and be content with the situation, he has never done it. Every time you see him, you think that this shouldn't be like this, but you are unable to change it.
The dog raised his head and said: "If you put it this way, it seems that I am too far behind..."
Chen Changsheng said: "It's just that I have embarked on this path."
The dog raised his head and asked: "What about the killer that sir thinks?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Song Gudao is a qualified killer."
"Song leader..."
Gou'er opened his mouth. He recalled that Song Gudao's face was no different from what he thought. He also felt that the leader of Song Dynasty was the one with the reputation of killing talents.
The dog asked himself.
So what do you think you are?
Neither is Buddha, nor is Shacai. He is wandering between the two, and has never made a decision.
Dogs feel that they are ordinary, so ordinary that they are hard to be noticed even in the dust or among the crowd.
But why, it seems that many people have great expectations for him.
Yes sir, so does Chief Song, and the person he saved in the mortal world...
But he himself never admitted to killing anyone.
Not only is he unable to do anything, but more importantly, he has a compassionate heart and has a different view on most things.
But when Gou'er saw the corpses everywhere and the God's Realm, he realized that he was completely wrong.
After experiencing numbness several times, he completely forgot what he was thinking.
The dog raised his head and said, "Mr. Chen, if I go, what are the chances of coming back?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Less than 10%."
"Is this so..."
The dog was deep in thought, but still a little undecided.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for clarifying my doubts."
The dog stood up and bowed, and then said goodbye to his husband.
He walked out of the yard and carefully closed the door.
Chen Changsheng also withdrew his gaze, and then drank the last sip of the turbid wine in the glass.
In the next few days, the dog locked himself in the yard. It was quiet after nightfall and no sound could be heard.
.
.
When Chen Changsheng came to the wine shop again, he saw that there were obviously more people drinking.
Most of them are unfamiliar faces.
Song Gudao also took some time off and was arguing with Du Aniang in front of the counter.
"Old widow, you are a pretty good person, but you have a big mouth. I guess the last one you had was so angry with you."
"What? You also want to make do with me and let me be your widow?"
"Can I like you!?"
"I still despise you!"
The two of them were bickering, but the people drinking in the wine shop didn't care, as if they were used to it.
"It's really..."
Song Gudao turned around and saw Chen Changsheng walking into the wine shop.
"Senior." Song Gudao greeted.
Chen Changsheng stepped forward and said, "Have you been free recently?"
"Not really."
Song Gudao nodded and said, "I'm just being lazy."
Du Aniang said: "He, he is lazy for a quarter of an hour, and a day passes in the blink of an eye."
Song Gudao glared and said, "Can't you say a few nice things about me?"
"What's good for you?"
"..."
Song Gudao thought for a while, and finally could only snort and said: "I won't fight with women."
Du Aniang laughed and said, "Coward."
Song Gudao wasn't annoyed at all, it had always been like this between the two.
Then Du Aniang went to get a drink, and Chen Changsheng and Song Gudao also came to the table.
"Has anyone been looking for you?" Song Gudao asked with a blink of an eye.
Chen Changsheng said: "He came after you left."
"oh?"
Song Gudao raised his head and said, "Did he say he was going? I think he has locked himself in the yard recently and never came out."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Maybe he is hesitating."
"Yeah……"
Song Gudao touched his chin, already thinking about it.
"Let's wait another three days." Chen Changsheng said.
After hearing this, Song Gudao also put his mind at ease and said, "Then just listen to the seniors."
Chen Changsheng nodded, and after finishing their drinks, they parted ways at the door of the wine shop.
Chen Changsheng walked towards his residence, and when he was about to arrive, he saw the dog waiting at the door.
The dog turned around and looked at Mr. Chen, as if he had made a decision.
Chen Changsheng asked: "What are you doing standing here?"
Gou'er said: "Sir, I want to be what you call a killer, but I don't seem to be someone like Chief Song."
Chen Changsheng stood at the door and looked at him.
Gou'er then said: "I can't be a killer, nor can I become a Buddha."
There was no killing thought in his mind.
Gou'er's voice changed and he said: "But if, if, I die alone..."
"Can it save tens of millions of people?"
He looked at the gentleman, as if expecting an answer.
Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and told him.
"Just maybe."
Suddenly there was light in the dog's eyes.
After that moment of silence.
The dog took two steps back, and then he knelt down and kowtowed three times just like that time by the lake.
"The dog thanks you sir for clarifying my doubts!"
Whether it is killing one person and saving tens of millions of people, or killing tens of millions of people and saving one person, he cannot do it.
Since he never thought about killing any living being.
Then kill yourself.
In this way, it is not considered killing.
The dog stood up, took one last look at Mr. Chen, then turned back and walked outside without looking back again.
