It was late, and I was still looking through the data I had retrieved from the library in the afternoon. --

On the desk, there was a table full of books, all of which were records of Lu Yu's life.

However, all the records are the same, talking about how he was abandoned, how he changed from a stutter to singing, how he wrote the "Book of Tea" and so on.

The cause of his death and the description of his burial are almost all in a few words, and there is no detailed explanation.

Did Lu Yu really die of natural causes because of aging? I have seen his body more than a thousand years after his death, although it is only a quick glance, but there is still an inexplicable vitality on the corpse.

And his demeanor is so serene that people don't feel like he's lifeless, as if he's just asleep and will wake up at any moment......

I sighed, leaned heavily back in my chair, and pressed my index finger firmly against my temple.

There were a few knocks on the 'door' outside the 'door', and then Yu Xin's sweet voice came: "Brother Xiaoye, have you slept?" Do you want to have a late-night snack? ”

Before I could answer, she walked in with a tray. Throwing away a few books that stood in front of her, and putting things on the table where there was not much space, she was speechless: "Brother Xiaoye, you are working too hard." ”

Yu Xin scanned the room with her eyes, sat down on the sofa, picked up the TV remote control, and said to herself: "Have you watched the program Midnight Philosophy?" It's full of fun, Brother Xiaoye, I'll watch it with you, just take a break from your brain! ”

I didn't bother to bother with these unnutritious words, so I picked up a book and buried myself in it. Yu Xin sighed, added cow's milk' and sugar to the coffee, stirred it, and put it in front of me.

The TV was turned on, and the so-called "Midnight Philosophy" program seemed to have just begun, and the voices of two hosts, a man and a woman, came to my ears from time to time.

The so-called "Midnight Philosophy", this show is really a bit inexplicable.

It's similar to some devil's dictionary, using vague and meaningless and plausible words, piled up into some kind of so-called second-order philosophy that seems to make sense at first glance, but the ratings are not bad.

"The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, who is reasonable? You are reasonable, I am not reasonable, you are away from me. A nuisance-sounding bass opened the sentence in a voice as low as if he were chanting a spell.

I frowned, raised my head, and saw Yu Xin holding the pillow, sitting on the sofa and watching intently, looking innocent and cute, and suddenly pressed the words I just wanted to call out in my throat.

Alas, there really isn't much I can do about this sister.

From time to time, the sound of the TV gritted into my ears, and I sighed, reluctantly threw down the book, and read it too. It seems that the topic of men and 'women' is discussed, and the 'women' question and answer system is adopted, and the answers are quite 'brilliant'.

Seeing the half-section, Yu Xin turned her head to look at me and asked, "Interesting, isn't it?" There were some things I didn't understand, but they seemed to be very philosophical. ”

I was immediately amused by her and laughed, and this laugh, all the troubles in my head, were thrown out of the clouds.

I looked at her dark and shiny eyes, and said mysteriously, "Little meaning, I'll also tell you a very philosophical story." It is said that those who understand can pass the eighth-level examination for Buddhist majors! ”

"Really?" Yu Xin immediately came to the end, grabbed my arm and said repeatedly: "I want to listen, tell people quickly!" ”

The soft and full 'chest' was squeezed on my arm, and I suddenly looked absentmindedly at the heavenly 'flower' board, scratched my nose, and said: "It is said that there is a monk named Ku Yu Zen Master, and the story of Zen Buddhism in my country is from him. Did you know that Zen Buddhism is not limited to borrowing words to preach?

"This great Zen master after the Sixth Patriarch, someone asked him what is the Tao? He replied very simply, each time he held up a stick of food and said, "This is it!" But what is this? No one knew, but everyone who asked him understood and understood.

"One day, the old monk went out of the 'door' and was not at home, and a little novice who had been with him for many years was guarding the temple. On this day, a man came to the old monk and asked, and the little novice said, "Master is not here, if you want to ask, just ask me."

The person who asked the question asked the little novice to tell him what the Tao was, and the little novice raised his index finger and said to the one who asked, "This!"

The one who asked was very happy and knelt down, because the one who asked really understood and understood. This little novice, but he really doesn't understand.

When Master came back, Xiao Shami told Master about the incident. When the master heard the report, he went into the firewood room without a sound, and after a while he came out with his hands behind his back and asked the little novice to tell him how he preached to others.

The little novice gestured and stretched out an index finger and said, "This!" With a wave of his hand behind his back, the master used the firewood knife in his hand to cut off the index finger of the little novice.

Little Shami's fingers were cut off, and he screamed in pain: "Alas! It is said that from then on, the little novice also became enlightened. ”

Yu Xin didn't understand at all, her eyes were still looking at me blankly, and it took a long time before she asked carefully, "It's over?" ”

"It's over." I nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuxin, do you understand, do you think this story is very philosophical?" ”

"I think people who can understand this story can go to the 'Jing' Divine Hospital to apply for the job being studied!" Yu Xin pouted angrily: "Brother Xiaoye is deceiving, I don't believe anyone will understand, and there is no philosophy in it at all!" ”

"There is definitely a philosophy. But ......" I felt more and more amused, and squinted like a 'traitor' and said, "However, we are all ordinary people, and it is right that we don't understand." I don't understand it now, but maybe I'll figure it out later! ”

Ye Yuxin "hummed", turned her head and watched TV again.

More than ten minutes passed.

The show seems to end here, the first part, followed by the second part, "Philosophical Life". It is to the effect that in a temple, once, a host asked a new monk, "Have you ever been here?" ”

The monk replied, "Yes." ”

So the host said, "Okay, drink tea." ”

Then, the host asked the visiting monk the same question, and the monk thought about it, but replied, "No." ”

The host smiled and said, "Very good, please have tea." ”

At that time, there was a person who asked the abbot in confusion: "Master, why do you ask him to drink tea no matter what he answers?" Why on earth does he drink tea? ”

The host smiled and didn't answer, just called the visiting monk.

The monk's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at the host with a solemn look, shouting, "Drink tea!" Then they both died.

I was stunned for a moment, and explained to Ye Yuxin, who was 'confused' and 'confused' again: "This story is about a story between Master Jigong and Zen Master Congchen in the Tang Dynasty before he died. After thinking about it, he said, "Do you know who Master Jigong is?" ”

Yu Xin shook her head. I smiled and said, "He is the master of the tea saint Lu Yu, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty." Maybe this show is telling this story now, in order to go around in a circle and bring Lu Yu out. "After all, now that Lu Yu's body has just been dug up, newspapers and magazines are reporting on him every day, and the TV station is not doing a little bit of work on it, so I'm sorry for the audience."
