Long Junhai continued to move eastward and roasted a wild rabbit on the way. He no longer cared about breaking the precepts, because there was nothing he could do about it, as nothing could be changed.
So as long as the mainland is still there, the road is still there, the new road is still there, and the heart is still there, why are there so many precepts in this world?
What exactly are disciplines? Why do they constrain humans? They simply grant freedom within certain boundaries. Without these constraints, everything becomes meaningless, and many things have to be rebuilt from scratch. It feels like being exiled to an endless wilderness, with no freedom at all, no chance of escape. Yet, this is also the most liberating thing of all.
So a lot of things are figured out and guessed by myself. Many things are like this, but not like this. There are really many things that will have some new situations and many variables only at the end.
Long Junhai's mind is becoming more and more clear, and he is no longer so cautious in his actions, because he has to survive at all times. If he cannot survive, then he really cannot survive. This result is something that no one can do for him, so you have to fight for it by yourself, and no one will help you.
He's heard a lot of things, knows a lot of situations, but truly understanding, truly being able to do it, is really hard. Just like Long Junhai doesn't know his own mood, doesn't know his own emotions. He doesn't even know what kind of relationship he has with Taohong. Are they friends? Are they lovers? Are they partners? Whatever the relationship is, Long Junhai misses her very much.
But what does this imaginary yearning feel like? Is it the soul? The body? Desire? Emotion? It's hard to pinpoint any of these things.
The more things he comes into contact with, the more questions and doubts he has, but these things cannot be solved in a short time. Therefore, the unclear relationship between Long Junhai and Taohong makes him confused, helpless, and even frightened.
In fact, many things are just like this. For Long Junhai, Taohong is the first woman in the world. This feeling is irreplaceable. Although it is a little immature and difficult to understand, it is really unforgettable.
Long Junhai touched his head. His originally bald head had grown hair, which felt a bit prickly. If he walked for a few more months, he probably wouldn't be recognizable as a monk!
But no matter what, a monk is a monk. Once Long Junhai has chosen this path, he should continue on, at least as long as he can. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for people to understand and forget.
Long Junhai's heart is very complicated now. This complexity is really something unpredictable and indescribable. He thinks of Taohong almost every day, but this longing is getting stronger and stronger, but Taohong's face is getting more and more blurred!
Long Junhai has arrived in Nankai City. This town is a newly built one. It was just a big village. Due to its good geographical location, a large number of people flocked here to live. So more and more people settled here, and then a town was formed.
In the wilderness, Long Junhai could still survive on wild game and vegetables, but when he arrived in the city, he could only beg from others, and it was difficult to ask for help in this situation, so he was in a very difficult situation.
"Master, you want to beg for alms, right? We have some food at home, please follow me." An old woman invited Long Junhai to her home. Long Junhai didn't expect that he would be so lucky, so he was very grateful to her.
"Master, what is your name?" asked the old woman.
"I am Wufan, is there only one person in your family?" Long Junhai asked.
"That's right. All the young men have been captured, and the old people are building the city. Only we women are left at home. Look, there are only a few rich people in this city, and those women are the last people in the city." The old woman said helplessly.
"Able-bodied men? Why do we need to capture able-bodied men?" Long Junhai asked in confusion.
"It's because there's a war on the border. This kind of thing is unavoidable." The old woman sighed.
Long Junhai nodded. This kind of thing is indeed inevitable. However, it also has certain benefits. Every family will receive a pension, and the daily expenses will not be large. However, when the children grow up, they will still have to be sent to the border.
"Life is not easy, you have worked hard, Auntie." Long Junhai said comfortingly.
"They are just some small things. Isn't it the same in every family? Life is not easy. Where are you going, Master?" the old woman asked again.
"I'm going to Xiangguo Temple." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Xiangguo Temple is indeed a good place. Monks from all over the country like to go there for pilgrimage, but very few people can stay in Xiangguo Temple!" The old woman also knew this situation.
Long Junhai nodded, then said: "It is indeed difficult, but this is our wish at this time, so we must go once. It doesn't matter whether we stay or not."
"That's true, but the whole world is full of disasters now. It's difficult to find a wizard to perform rituals." said the old woman.
"How? How are you going to do it? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Long Junhai asked in confusion.
"That's right. This has happened to several families of ours recently. They've been troubled by monsters, but they don't know what to do. Many things are beyond our control. We are all mortals. It's impossible for us to fly around like gods and exorcise monsters everywhere!" said the old woman.
"Can you tell me what the specific situation is?" Long Junhai wanted to help at this time, so he asked.
The old woman nodded and said, "This is what happened. A few months ago, a demonic wind suddenly appeared. Every month, it devoured a pair of young boys and girls. We've already lost the men in our families, so how can we lose our sons and grandchildren? So many people can't do what they say. The end result is that their entire families are wiped out! Several families have already been wiped out!"
Long Junhai frowned. This was clearly the work of a monster, so he asked, "Where can we find this monster?"
"I don't know where that monster is, but he asked us to build a temple for him. We have to send boys and girls there on the first day of every month, and he eats the children at night!" said the old woman.
