315 Speculation
The room fell silent.
Shi Kong looked at Shen Yue compassionately but did not reply.
Shen Yue did not give up, he came here just to solve the mystery in his heart.
"After I lost my memory, I couldn't remember the past events, but the eminent monk still remembered the junior brother named Shi Zhen! So why did I rush to Bangkok all the way to wake up the junior brother who lost his memory?"
When Shen Yue spoke, he stared intently into Shi Kong's eyes, but his heart was filled with trembling. There was a child named Shi Zhen in his memory.
His memory was very profound, and as soon as he remembered it, he immediately suspected that he was the child in his memory.
According to the rules of naming, Shi Zhen and Shi Kong should be from the same school.
Shi Kong suddenly appeared in Bangkok and in front of him. It seemed like a coincidence, but many coincidences were intentional - or Shi Kong knew him and Shen Yue.
Shi Kong knew that Shen Yue was his junior brother, so he took the trouble to solve the problem for him!
But why didn’t Shikong directly explain the matter to him?
If he is really Shi Kong's junior brother, why does Shi Kong behave like this?
Shen Yue felt strange in his heart, but faced with the opportunity to know everything about himself, he would not miss it no matter what.
There was only pity in Shi Kong's eyes, "That's good, that's good."
"Monks don't lie." Shen Yue reminded.
Shi Kong sighed lightly and said, "The old monk does have a junior brother named Shi Zhen."
Shen Yue heard the implication of Shi Kong's words and said with slight surprise: "Could it be that... that Shi Zhen is not me?"
Shi Kong was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Old monk, I don't know yet."
Looking kindly at Shen Yue who was full of surprise, Shikong said: "The old monk knows that the donor must be confused, but the old monk also seems to be confused."
"Perhaps the eminent monk can explain more and the confusion in our heads can be cleared away." Shen Yue suggested.
Shikong pondered for a moment, "There are many things that still need to be discussed from the beginning."
Shen Yue insisted: "I made a special trip to see the eminent monk tonight to ask him to clarify his doubts. The eminent monk started talking about it thousands of years ago, and I am all ears."
Shikong smiled, "The donor is quite persistent."
Shen Yue's deliberate mention of "thousands of years ago" was a bit of a test, because he had only seen mummies from thousands of years ago not long ago. Seeing that Shi Kong had no intention of being touched, he stopped testing.
"The old monk originally came from the Snowy Mountains."
Shi Kong said with some emotion: "The old monk also told the donor some things in the past. Now I might as well say a few more things. There are many sects of Tantric Buddhism in Daxue Mountain. The old monk came from one of them, and his master's name is Wu Xing. Since the journey to the East, Buddhism has been divided into two schools, Sutra and Tantra. Master Wusheng originally studied under the Sutra sect. Later, he felt that he could not be liberated. In order to seek the true meaning of Sakyamuni, he went to the Snowy Mountains to practice Tantric Buddhism. Suddenly, he passed seventy Year."
When Shen Yue heard the word "enlightenment", the appearance of the old monk who taught Shi Zhen in the snow flashed in his mind. He thought to himself that Shi Kong was already over seventy years old, and his enlightenment could not be a hundred years old now?
"Is Master still there?"
Shen Yue asked, and he naturally regarded Wu Xing as his master.
After Shi Kong recited "Amitabha", he said: "Master has passed away."
Shen Yue felt a slight tingling feeling in her heart, as if she was shocked to hear that a loved one had passed away.
"Before Master passed away, he once visited the old monk."
Shi Kong showed a trace of sadness, but it disappeared immediately after reciting the Buddha's name, "He said that after one lifetime of practice, many causes and conditions in the world have been resolved, but before Nirvana, you can never let go of the closed disciple. That disciple is called Shi Zhen."
Shen Yue trembled inside again, but did not interrupt Shi Kong's words.
"How did the donor know that the old monk had a younger brother named Shi Zhen?" Shi Kong asked rhetorically.
"When I was doing a brain wave experiment with Nuan Yu, a picture appeared in my mind."
Shen Yue did not hide anything. He briefly mentioned the original situation, and then stood up from the desk and picked up the notepads prepared for guests in the hotel and the pencil next to them, "Senior monk, wait a moment."
He quickly drew the picture that flashed in his mind on the paper and handed the paper to Shi Kong.
Shi Kong took it and looked at it, and then recited Amitabha, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "These are indeed Master Wu Xing and my little junior brother Shi Zhen. How can the donor know about these two people?"
Shen Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I should have asked the eminent monk about this."
Shi Kong nodded slowly, "The donor is right. The donor seems to have tried his best to guess."
He paid attention to the two people on the paper for a long time, and then finally put down the paper and said: "Master said before his death that he had not seen Shi Zhen for a long time and was really concerned about him. According to common sense, Shi Zhen should be dead in half a year." Return to the Snowy Mountains to see Master for the last time."
"When was this six months ago?" Shen Yue asked.
He didn't know when Wu Xing passed away, so he didn't know the exact time six months before he passed away.
Shi Kong calculated with his fingers, "The last time Master agreed to meet Shi Zhen was two years and eight months ago, and the time of his death was about twenty-six months ago."
Shen Yue secretly thought that this monk had calculated things clearly.
Seeing that Shen Yue stopped asking questions, Shi Kong continued: "But Shi Zhen has never turned around. Master believes that Shi Zhen's cultivation ability will never forget the agreement with Master. Master believes that Shi Zhen must have had an accident. Even when there was danger, he did not turn back to the Snowy Mountains, so he asked the old monk to enter the world to look for it."
"Should the eminent monk know what Shi Zhen looks like?" When Shen Yue asked, his heart was pounding.
Shi Kong nodded after a long while, reached into his arms, slowly took out a piece of slightly yellow paper and handed it over, "Donor, please take a look."
Shen Yue frowned when he saw that the paper looked very old, and thought to himself that if the paper was a portrait, then the person in the painting might be a portrait from more than ten years ago.
The truth turned out to be worse than he expected. When he unfolded the drawing paper, the drawing showed a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The young man looks a little short, rather heroic, and has a youthful and mature look between his eyebrows.
But as the saying goes, women change when they grow up. In fact, men also change a lot when they grow up.
Looking at the young man in the portrait, Shen Yue understood why Shi Kong was unsure.
Face is born from the heart.
A person's appearance will change greatly due to factors such as living habits, personality, environment, etc.
The young man in the portrait looks completely different from the current Shen Yue!
This is just the result of a cursory glance, but Shen Yue's fortune telling is by no means that simple. He looks at the features of the skull, the shape of the eyebrows, the distance between the eyes, the shape of the ears and other details.
Once these characteristics are finalized, they are difficult to change.
But after he re-judged it based on his own experience, he couldn't help but frown.
