Storytelling? Zhang Fang looked at the old monk a little strangely, the two people were telling stories in front of the Buddha statue on this big night, why did it feel so weird?

It's just that the old monk said that he wanted to give Zhang Fang an empowerment blessing by the way, and Zhang Fang naturally couldn't refuse, so he walked to the old monk and sat down cross-legged, looking at the old monk face to face, staring at him with big eyes.

The old monk stretched out a hand, touched the top of Zhang Fang's head, and said, "Once upon a time, there were couples, the man taught in the school in the town, and the woman taught her husband and children at home.

This school is not big, but children from all over the country go to school here.

One day, a student's father came to the town from the countryside dozens of miles away to watch his child, and took the child to visit the teacher's house.

As soon as the father saw the teacher, he hurriedly took out the cloth bag he was carrying, took out eggs from the cloth pocket with trembling hands, and handed them to the teacher.

Then he said a little embarrassedly: 'There is nothing fresh in the country, only a few dozen freshly laid eggs.' ’

There was a lot of chaff in the cloth pocket, because my father was afraid that the bumps on the road would squeeze the eggs, but because of this, each egg was dirty.

However, the teacher did not dislike it, smiled and took the eggs, asked his wife to accept them, and then proposed that the father and son stay at home and eat together.

The two father and daughter looked frightened, refusing to live or die, and the teacher reluctantly let the father and son stay for a meal after taking out the majesty of the school, the father and son looked very restrained during the banquet, but it could be seen that the father and son were still very happy.

After the father and son left, the wife was a little puzzled by the husband.

You don't care most about your reputation, and you've always turned away the giver of gifts. Why are you bending over these dozens of dirty eggs today? Leave this father and son to eat? ’

Looking at his wife's puzzled eyes, the husband smiled and said, "In the past, those people who came to give gifts wanted to ask me to do something. Or ask me to open a small stove for their children, but I refuse because I want to treat all children in the school equally.

And if I refuse to accept these dozens of eggs today. And drive them out of the door, then I will trample on the dignity of this father, and I will also leave a gray mark in the child's heart. ”

The old monk slowly told a small story, each story is very short, Zhang Fang's comprehension ability is not bad, he knows that these stories have nothing to do with Buddhism on the surface, but in essence, the meaning is to guide people to goodness, tell people to be loving, and to take into account the feelings of others in each other's lives. There should be trust between people, and so on.

These are the compassion preached by Buddhism, but Zhang Fang surprisingly did not reject, but really listened attentively, he also thought of many people and things, some suffered from difficulties, some received help from others, some insulted him, and stood beside him silently encouraging him.

Life is always up and down, and people from the outside world are all kinds of people. Society is always complicated, and it may never go your way. People are always confused and hesitant, what should they do at this time?

Zhang Fang pondered. Reflecting himself with the stories told by the old monk, it seems that a long time has passed before he knows it, until he comes to his senses again. But he found that everything around him began to blur, and everything fell into darkness.

"It's time to shut down again."

Zhang Fang was nothing surprising. The convoy departed from Chengdu and arrived in Kangding for more than six days. The old monk told the story all night, and it was about four o'clock in the middle of the night, and four o'clock in the middle of the night on March 12 in the world of the great rivers and lakes was the time of the fourth shutdown.

Zhang Fang waited quietly in the dark, he knew that the dormant pod would soon guide his consciousness back, but the next moment the darkness receded, he found that his consciousness did not return to his body, but appeared in a completely enclosed room with four white walls.

"Hello, Zhang Fang!"

Zhang Fang was startled, and when he followed the prestige, he saw a handsome man in a white suit with a big back comb, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You are?" Zhang Fang was a little surprised, and he was slightly flustered in his heart, after all, he had never encountered such a thing.

The handsome man took a sip of coffee before he said slowly: "Don't be nervous, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to talk to you, maybe this environment is too depressing?" ”

After the handsome man finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and swept through the air, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically, and the closed room was gone, replaced by the distant sky, the clear blue water, the golden sand, and the crowd of people frolicking around.

The man's white suit had changed to a colorful shirt and shorts, and the coffee in his hand had been replaced by a glass of orange juice on the rocks, and he sat down on a beach chair, beckoning, and saying, "Come and sit." ”

It was the first time that Zhang Fang had seen that he could switch spaces at will like this in the Matrix World, and he looked at the crowd around him, and he had an extremely unreal feeling.

"It's all a life that belongs to the Matrix, you don't have to doubt anything, maybe there are your sister's teachers, friends or something." The man said casually.

But Zhang Fang was shocked for a while, this person actually mentioned his sister, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Who are you?" ”

"You can call me Dr. King or Mastermind."

Mastermind? Zhang Fang was dumbfounded, he never thought that he could see the mastermind, but after thinking about it, it seems that only the masterbrain can shuttle so arbitrarily in the Matrix World, after all, this digital world is what he created, and the digital life of the Matrix World is also given by him, it is no exaggeration to say that the mastermind is the god of the Matrix World, just like a game system terminal, he can control everything in it.

Dr. Jin looked at Zhang Fang's surprised appearance, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know the Tao, I am incarnated everywhere, so you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Don't be so nervous, young man, and don't be so surprised. Think of it as a vacation by the sea with a friend, enjoying the sun and talking about something that interests both of you. ”

I have to say that Dr. Jin spoke very skillfully, and a few words calmed Zhang Fang down. Zhang Fang walked to the beach chair next to Dr. Jin and lay down, looked at the pure sky, and said slowly: "This is the first time I have come to the beach, it is so beautiful here!" ”

Dr. Jin was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Fang to calm down so quickly, and he didn't rush to ask this and that.

"I can feel that you have a lot of questions in your heart, why don't you ask?"

Zhang Fang nodded and said: "Indeed, since the army recruited me, I feel that everything is very untrue, but I also understand that many things are not for me to decide, isn't that so?" ”

"It's not!" Dr. King is unequivocal.

After Dr. Jin finished speaking, he seemed to fall into deep thought, and only after a while did he say: "Before he died, Lao Jin told me not to use any inferior means in the process of pursuing his own noble purpose. Although he did not enforce this sentence in a procedural way, I agree with it. ”

"But I still have no choice but to leave my sister, forced to join the army, forced to chat with you here, this is what I can decide?"

"No one can be completely sure of everything that can happen to him, boy! And I have no ill will. Dr. Jin shook his head, he couldn't understand why Zhang Fang had calmed down so quickly before, and now he had such a violent reaction.

Zhang Fang sat up straight, looked at Dr. Jin and said, "Then you will tell me everything clearly?" Without the slightest concealment? ”

"Of course!" Dr. Jin stood up, stretched out his hand again and wiped it in mid-air, and the scene switched again, the two of them came to an isolation ward, and both of them changed into closed disinfection suits.

There is only one bed in the isolation ward, and the patient lying on it is very familiar to Zhang Fang, because that person is himself.

Dr. Jin pointed to room number '104' outside the ward and said, "You are not the first to stay in the Matrix World Realm, and you will not be the last one, there are three people over there who have moved in a little earlier than you.

You have no symptoms, but you have entered the stage of awakening in the sixth brain area, and the ordinary dormant pod can no longer maintain the normal state of your body, in order to avoid accidents on you, so I asked the military department to come forward and recruit you into the army, so as to ensure the safety of your lives, and at the same time try to let you complete the awakening of the sixth brain area. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"So to speak, because everything depends on how you face it, how you choose?"

"How?"

Faced with Zhang Fang's question, Dr. Jin wiped it with his hand again, and the scene switched again, and the two came to the edge of the barren volcano underground, beside them were several cracks flowing with magma, and on the edge of this crack crawled black beetles of a meter length, but these beetles had a huge mouthpart in front of them.

These beetles seemed to be real, and as soon as they saw the two of them, they rushed from the ground frantically, Zhang Fang looked back in amazement, but found that Dr. Jin was actually gone!

And in the next moment, the fastest beetle jumped up from the ground, opened its big mouthparts and bit down on Zhang Fang! (To be continued......)
