For a moment she wanted to get angry, but a vague intuition told her that it was a dangerous thing.
She didn't understand where the danger came from, so she began to think about how others had treated her on her way down the mountain, how her mindset had changed, and the consequences of her actions.
She gets a thrill from revealing her background.
Everyone present would flatter and fawn over her, and even those who looked down on her would grovel at her feet, kneeling and begging for her forgiveness. No matter how she handled things, she would not cause any dissatisfaction among others; they would only submit to her position.
But that's not right.
My goal was to buy clothes, but I didn't achieve that because I didn't consider how others would react.
If you do something against your original will and purpose because of other people's reactions, then you are essentially being controlled by others.
This matter is very simple to explain, and how to do it is just a small thing, but how many people are overwhelmed by the emotions of others in such insignificant matters, affecting their goals and actions, and doing unexpected things.
And what unknown storms will the unexpected events cause?
The road ahead is arduous; one wrong step leads to another. Who can say this is just a small matter?
Ajahn felt that she had seen many truths in one thing, but she couldn't sort them all out in a short time. Just then, she suddenly entered the world of the book.
Ajahn cleared his mind of distractions and focused only on the simplest reality: cause, process, and result.
Having figured these things out, Ah Jiang's headache stopped.
She stood atop a giant lotus, with only one petal swirling with a blue vortex.
The petals were as tall as the gates of Tianyu City. She placed her hand on a petal and felt a slight tingling sensation, as if countless tiny blades were dancing on the petal.
She carefully leaned closer to look at the light and shadow reflected on the petals, but the light and shadow seemed both near and far, and she couldn't see them clearly no matter how hard she tried. She took a few steps unconsciously, felt herself step into thin air, and fell from a great height.
This sudden change left her somewhat at a loss, and the scene before her eyes horrified her even more. In the distance, several volcanoes were erupting, spewing thick smoke, with purple lightning flashing in the smoke and dust. Lava flowed down the mountainside, burning large areas of forest, and the wildfire was spreading.
Not far below Ajahn Chah, there was a huge city with a unique architectural style, and some people were leaving the city gate with their families.
She didn't have time to look closely anymore. She formed hand seals and summoned the Windwing Tiger. The white tiger with wings caught her and landed her in a deserted place.
She pulled out a cloak and covered herself completely. The wind-winged tiger was huge and too eye-catching, so A-Jiang put it away.
He then summoned the three-tailed silver fox. This little fox had already gained sentience, and could temporarily transform into human form once it grew another tail. It was inconvenient for it in the Azure Lotus Sect before, so now it was a good opportunity to let it come out and take a look around.
After making some preparations, A-Jiang headed towards the city.
From the ground, the city sits on a flat area between several mountain ranges, nourished by two great rivers, and surrounded by orchards and farmland.
The city appears even larger up close, surrounded by stone walls ten meters high. There are two towers at either end of the city gate, and many soldiers in heavy armor are guarding the gate.
As A Jiang walked to a city gate, he saw more clearly the panicked state of the people.
They left the city with all their belongings using various tools. The rich were still able to maintain a semblance of dignity, with carriages and servants, but the poor were often caught between two worlds, leaving their sons behind and their daughters behind.
The bundles were bulging with something, weighing people down and causing chaos among people, animals, and vehicles.
