Keenly caught the change in Chen Fan's eyes.
Bai Banxiao pretended that he saw nothing and recalled the past.
"My grandfather had several women in his life."
"My dad had a son in his old age. When Ruoxue's and my dad were born, my grandfather was already in his seventies."
"So we were born with a silver spoon in our mouths, and we never saw how the old man maneuvered and led the Bai family to grow and prosper."
"But I have studied the development process of the Bai family and have also read the family's internal information."
"I know that the old man was an ordinary man in his ordinary days."
"I was born in a poor family. I couldn't even afford to eat. When I was a child, I had to beg on the street with my family..."
"The old man suddenly became smart at some point. According to the old people, he seemed to have become a different person..."
Chen Fan's body trembled slightly, and his body became a little stiff. Then he adjusted his sitting position according to the traces.
He didn't expect Bai Banji would actually bring this up.
He knows the secret of the Bai family.
Through the contact during this period, he guessed that Bai Banxiao should have guessed some of his secrets.
This has always been something that both parties have declared.
He didn't expect that Bai Banji was going to show his hand today.
The key point is that Chen Fan did not try to stop him and let the other party talk.
"In his later years, the old man wrote a poem to sum up his life."
"In peacetime, I cultivate good deeds, but I love to kill and set fires. Suddenly, the golden rope is loosened, and the jade lock is broken. The tide is coming on the Qiantang River, and now I know who I am."
Chen Fan looked surprised.
Of course he knew the poem and was very familiar with it.
This is a poem that Lu Zhijie recited before his death in "Water Margin".
You should know that in Water Margin, Chen Fan liked two characters, one was the traveler Wu Song, and the other was Lu Zhishen, the chief of Lu.
So he was deeply touched by this poem.
"The old man used this poem by Lu Zhishen from "Water Margin" to summarize his life, which is naturally meaningful."
"Bai Jia Pang, you fool, there are more than three people who can really see through the true meaning of this poem of the old man."
"It was only after I became an adult and studied the life of the old man and the history of the family that I finally figured out one thing."
"The old man had a secret, but he didn't tell anyone. When his life was about to come to an end, he didn't want to leave with the secret. That's why this poem was written."
"This poem is already written in a subtle way, because I know very well that what he really wants to write is not this, but another poem..."
Chen Fan sat opposite, his body going from stiff to gradually slowing down.
The emotions changed from shock to panic and finally to a very complicated calmness.
As an outsider.
He was able to understand what Bai Banji meant at a glance.
I also know what the other poem the old man wanted to say means.
This sigh by Lu Zhishen before his death in "Water Margin" actually has its origin.
It comes from a sentence in Wang Yangming's "Yangming School".
The full text of the sentence is: "Avoid intention..."
The white man opposite murmured.
“Hide from the will, avoid the cause and effect, all kinds of shackles will trap the true self; follow the will, accept the cause and effect, now I know that I am myself; once I realize the truth and see my true self, why should I fear the old shackles? The shackles of the world are just dreams, without form or self.”
Listen to the other person finish the sentence.
Chen Fan's tense body completely relaxed, and he sat opposite, his eyes becoming complex and full of emotion.
If you think about it carefully, this sentence is not really about yourself.
Past and present lives, karma...
I have experienced the same dream as the old man of the Bai family...
Chen Fan didn't expect that Mr. Bai would confront him face to face.
I felt helpless and at a loss inside.
But on the surface, he would definitely admit it.
"Second Master, I understand what you mean."
"Does the idiot Taoist know?"
"You should have seen his power."
"Back then, the three of us, Ruoxue's father, and the crazy Taoist priest, studied the old man's growth trajectory throughout his life, and finally came to a conclusion..."
Here it comes.
The showdown has finally come.
Chen Fan is ready.
Bai Banxiao looked at Chen Fan and spoke word by word.
"My brother, Ruoxue's father said that this is called enlightenment in one day."
"The foolish Taoist thought this was a revelation."
Bai Banji shook his head. "I personally think this statement is too appropriate, so since I took charge of the Bai family's secret guards, I have spent a lot of time and looked up a lot of information."
"Finally, I found an explanation from Buddhist theory."
"Initiation."
Chen Fan was stunned, obviously not expecting Mr. Bai to give such an explanation.
"The concept of initiation comes from Tantric Buddhism. It is an important ritual in Tantric Buddhism, used to authorize disciples to practice Tantric Buddhism or inherit the Dharma lineage, and symbolizes the transmission of wisdom and energy."
"The old man was a devout Buddhist during his lifetime, so I think he must have received some kind of initiation ceremony from the Tantric Buddhism."
"So he suddenly had an epiphany. It was like he became a different person."
"After the epiphany, the old man gained some kind of power, like a prophet, who could predict certain things that would happen in the future."
"That's why the old man has never made any mistakes in his career, both in politics and business."
Having said that, Bai Banxiao looked at Chen Fan with a strange and complicated look in his eyes.
Chen Fan subtly adjusted his sitting posture, with a strange expression on his face.
It turns out that this is how Mr. Bai Er views Mr. Bai.
Initiation, meet the future prophet 땣 power...
That's right.
As a modern person, both initiation and the prophetic power to predict the future are beyond their imagination.
This was already the limit of his conjecture.
Even if he was as smart as Mr. Bai, he would probably never have thought that reincarnation and time travel really existed in this world.
This is a natural event that completely violates the laws of science.
Not to mention Mr. Bai, even Chen Fan before his rebirth would not believe such things.
If anyone dared to mention this to him, he would think that the other person had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
However, this explanation gave Master Bai and myself a perfect cover to conceal the secret.
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
It seems that there are only crazy Taoists in this world who truly know their own secrets.
The Taoist priest didn't realize the secret until he was dying, so he didn't tell Mr. Bai, but chose to write a letter and tell himself.
Everything is connected.
Bai Banxiao didn't notice the subtle change in Chen Fan's eyes.
Otherwise, he would have been able to think of more things.
