Zhang Song purposely did not finish his words, so how could the monk not know? In fact, the monk had already seen through Zhang Song's little trick. He remembered that Shixiong Fang had told him that this young man would come back again, making him more and more unable to understand his Shixiong Fang. At that time, just by a single encounter, he was able to see through the future and predict what would happen.
Although he could not use words, he still wanted to test Zhang Song, so he played dumb: ”But what about it? We still need Almsgiver Zhang to abandon his comrades and come here alone. ”
”It's not a good thing to have too many people who know about it. Since that's the case, why not silently bear it all on your own? I can control my own heart, but I can't control others.”
”Benefactor Zhang is truly talented and intelligent.” The monk sighed with heartfelt emotion.
”Now that things have come to this, I believe Master should know the purpose of my visit.” Zhang Song said coquettishly.
”Please forgive your stupidity, Almsgiver Zhang. Please do not instruct me.” The monk chose to continue playing dumb.
”Alright, since the master is unwilling to admit it, then I will speak frankly. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me.” Zhang Song nodded to the monk and said, ”What did the master mean by his previous words,” The poor must be pitiful ”? Last time, he had wholeheartedly studied Buddha, so why would he shed tears? What does all this portend? ”
The monk knew exactly what Zhang Song wanted to ask, but he was unable to give the answer Zhang Song wanted. After pondering for a moment, he said, ”Amitabha, it seems that I will have to disappoint Almsgiver Zhang. My Buddhist teachings are profound and profound, and I, a monk, am just a normal monk. As for Lord Buddha's arrival … it is not something which we, as cultivators, can understand. ”
Zhang Song could see that the monk obviously didn't want to tell him some things. Seeing that he couldn't get an answer that he urgently needed to know, he coaxed, ”Master, you have to know that a monk doesn't use his words.”
The monk clasped his hands and said, ”Amitabha, sin, I am only speaking the truth. Although I am unable to see through Almsgiver Zhang, but I would like to offer my services to Almsgiver Zhang, and we may be able to answer all of Almsgiver Zhang's doubts. ”
”Since master has something that is difficult to say, I will not disturb you. Master, please take care.” Zhang Song turned around and left without looking back. The monk looked at Zhang Song's departing back until he disappeared around the corner. Then he said lightly, ”Marriage is complicated, blessings and misfortune are accompanying each other. Fate is interconnected on the Stone of Three Lives. ”Bitterness for Gu Sha, betrayal for relatives, true love for the vicissitudes of life, and eternal beauty …” Then, with a long sigh, he turned around and entered the house.
Zhang Song, who had disappeared, was now leaning against a wall. His right hand was clenched tightly into a fist, but his eyes were somewhat blurred. Looking at him, one could see how bleak, lonely, depressed, and sad he was … The monk's last words were completely heard by Zhang Song, which was why he had this expression.
”Grandmaster Fang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon.” The person who spoke was Zhang Song. Previously, when he heard what the monk had said, Zhang Song was extremely sad. However, after a moment, he tidied up his feelings of loss and rushed over to find the host.
”Hehe, so it's Almsgiver Zhang. I truly apologize for my disrespect.” When the host saw the person who had arrived, he greeted, ”May I know what is your purpose for coming here, Almsgiver Zhang?”
”Founder Fang, if you don't lie in front of me, I think you should be able to tell me some things now.” At this moment, Zhang Song was like an old monk that had entered a meditative state. He was calm like an ancient well, and his heart was calm like water.
”Sigh.” The host, the abbot, sighed softly and said slowly, ”Whatever should come will come eventually. Is this heaven's will?” The abbot looked up into the sky, as if he was trying to find something.
Zhang Song did not interrupt him because he knew that the host was about to tell him something that even he did not know.
After a long while, the abbot withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhang Song, and said indifferently, ”A marriage of destiny and misfortune, blessings and misfortune, fate and fate are intertwined on the Stone of Three Lives. ”Bitterness for Gu Sha, betrayal for relatives, true love for the vicissitudes of life, and eternal beauty …”
Zhang Song was shocked. How was this possible? What did this mean? Why did the two of them boast exactly the same thing? Is this the answer I've been looking for? No, I don't believe it. What in the world was going on? ”Could it be that I am really that so-called Gu Sha?” True love goes through the vicissitudes of life, a thousand tribulations and beauties … what does this mean? Was it worth it? A tribulation of beauty, a tribulation of beauty, was she going to face disaster? No, no, that's impossible, how is that possible?
Seeing Zhang Song's confused state of mind, he regretfully said, ”The setting sun is heartbreaking. I love and hate a relationship; my hazy eyes can't see clearly through the cycle of reincarnation. I've lived through many vicissitudes of life, and it's hard to keep up with my joy.
At this moment, Zhang Song's heart seemed to be dripping blood, as if his heart was dug out by someone, and it was in extreme pain. He looked at the host in disbelief. With a trembling voice, he asked, ”Can … can you tell me … tell me why?” How do I get rid of this nightmare? ”
The host lightly shook his head and said leisurely: ”The marriage is a love disaster, happiness and misfortune come hand in hand, on the rock of Three Lives, fate linked with sincerity, love reversing; go, child, your path is still very long, face the life you are about to face, but you must remember, everything will happen because of you, cycle of karma, and everything in the future will be under your control.”
He knew that everything had a cause and effect, and there was still a chance to save everything, to stop it. This allowed him to regain a glimmer of hope and light.
Zhang Song heard the host's words and silently turned around and prepared to leave. But just as he took a step forward, the host called out to him. ”We have three destinies, and today is the second fate. The next time we meet, it will be for the third fate, the beginning of fate and the end of fate. After the third fate, everything will come to an end.”
”It's just as Lord Fang said. I hope that the next time we meet, everything will return to its original point. I can only look forward to the next time we meet.” Although he could not completely understand the meaning behind the host's words, Zhang Song still agreed with the host's words. Since he said that there was still a chance of fate between them, then there must be a chance for them to meet again. It was just that Zhang Song did not know what the next time they would meet, but just as the host had said, the story was about to end.
