Chapter 31 Avalokiteshvara’s Bug

Seeing me sighing, Liu Shuai frowned, then laughed out loud, "Hey, don't take it so seriously. There is nothing to be sorry about. You worked hard to earn this pill, and the Bodhisattva gave it to you. It’s your decision to give it to one of us, or even to keep it with yourself."

I suddenly got an insight. “Your Bodhisattva is really sharp when it comes to people. He noticed that I was eager to save people, so he gave me the pill instead of giving it to you. At the same time, he purposely said that I could use this to save you from emergency. It’s not about which one to save. He was actually testing my humanity."

When Liu Shuai heard the words "save you from emergency", his face reddened, and he immediate-ly asked, "What do you mean by 'your Bodhisattva'? By the way, you don't seem to be afraid of this Bodhisattva at all?"

“Afraid?" I looked at Liu Shuai with a puzzled expression, "afraid of what?"

"Damn, are you pretending?" Liu Shuai curled his lips in disdain, "He is the famous Bodhisattva. Aren't you afraid that you may say something bad and he would impede you? Or you could show your respect to him and get some wisdom from him.”

I finally understood why Liu Shuai was so subservient in front of this Bodhisattva. I walked to the side of the road and sat down on a bench, the gentle breeze made me feel very comfortable. "I'm different from you, I’m nothing, so I am not afraid of loss."

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Shuai also sat down.

"I simply cannot learn mana at all, so he can teach me nothing. Thus I treated him the way I should." I looked at Liu Shuai, "At the same time, he is a Bodhisattva. Though he is a little mean in words, I can tell that his is a good man, and he won’t cause me troubles intentionally. Furthermore, I'm not in the fashion circle as him, so there's no need for him to use tactics against for me. And look at him, he's still using Nokia. What else can we Internet practitioners expect from him? It may even take us great effort to teach him about technology! "

Some time later, I heard from Xiao Hong that not long after we left that day, Zhang Chi Hang sud-denly threw his Nokia without a reason, then shouted, "Xiao Hong, bring me the iPhones that Cook gave me! I want a new one every day!"

I continued, "So it's simply that I don't have anything to ask of him, thus I..."

"So you are not afraid because you have no desire," Liu Shuai chuckled, and then said reflexively, "What you're saying seems to make sense. When I saw this Bodhisattva just now, it seemed like I was subconsciously thinking that he had a greater understanding of knowledge than I did, and a stronger mana than mine, so if he could teach me a little in terms of cultivation… That's weird, if you didn't say it, I wouldn't even realize it. I even believed that all my behaviors are natural."

"This is probably what the Avalokiteshvara said, absence of doubt is more powerful than the faith." I thought.

"However, now that I think about it, this Bodhisattva has many things that he hasn’t told us." At this time, Liu Shuai seemed to be more clear and had thought of something.

"Hmm?" I looked at Liu Shuai. Zhang Chi Hang had already talked so much, and he always taught big principles. How could Liu Shuai still think that there were many things he didn't tell us?

“Let me ask you, don't you find it strange that you subdued Hong Hai’er?" Liu Shuai looked at me, "Why did he not do it himself but ask you instead?"

"He explained it, didn't he?" I didn't know why Liu Shuai brought up this matter, but Zhang Chi Hang had already given a very clear explanation, "It's more difficult for him to deal with the Sa-madhi True Fire, and his martial arts weren't that good, so he needed me to hold Xiao Hong back and make time for him to borrow some South Sea Water Essence?"

"Yes, that's what he said. I did not think too much about it when I wanted something from him, and I naturally believed his words," Liu Shuai muttered to himself for a moment, "but now that I think about it, those words have an extremely obvious bug."

"What bug?" I didn't comprehend what he was talking about. I was a "bug seeker", but I didn't even realize there was even one of it.

“Samadhi means concentration and definiteness, which refers to the Eighth Ground Bodhisattva, while Avalokitesvara is the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Awakening and is an appearance of Right-eous Dharma Tathagata." Liu Shuai looked at me, while pondering, "It is well-known that amongst the fifty-two levels of Maharet's Bodhisattva cultivation stages, Wonderful Awakening is the 52th, while Eighth Ground is only the 48th. Logically speaking, Avalokitesvara should be able to deal with the Samadhi True Fire as easily as an adult beating a child. Yet, he said that he could barely cope with it, and urged you to do it."

"Oh, the things you said ARE really well-known!" I couldn't help but complain as I looked at Liu Shuai's pensive look. This is clearly a Buddhist specialty, but he said that it was well-known to show off his knowledge in front of me. "The terms you talked about earlier, like concentration and definiteness, wonderful awakening, or eighth ground only make no sense to ordinary people. I know why I can't find the bug you mentioned. It turns out that I don't even know these things! What a programmer like you is researching all day? Wait, is this what your Master Zhang Quan taught you through sleep at night? That's not even close to well-known. If so, then could you explain to me the principle of uncertainty, quantum entanglement, and observer effect in 'well-known' quantum mechanics?"

"What are you talking about? Quantum mechanics?" Liu Shuai was stunned when he heard those three terms, as though he was listening to a heavenly book. He then scratched his head and said, "My major was biology, and I learned coding without solid foundation. So don't make it difficult for me, okay?"

"Seems like you still know that you have no solid foundation. Then don't brag on me." Seeing that Liu Shuai didn't understand any of the quantum mechanics, I was satisfied in my heart, and joked at him along the way.

"Hey, don't speak nonsense." Liu Shuai didn't want to hear anymore sarcasm, so he asked me, "What’s your plan? I should not be concerned. Zhou Yuan and Yan's situations are more urgent than mine. At the worst, I will just wait for half a year. I'm sorry, bro." Liu Shuai looked down with a regretful expression, and seriously patted his crotch, as if he was comforting his own brother. But somehow, I couldn't sympathize with him at all. On the contrary, I felt that it was kind of funny, but I held it in.

As expected, two girls just happened to pass by while talking and laughing. They both blushed when they suddenly saw Liu Shuai touching his crotch in front of them, and they scolded in a low voice, "Freak!", then hurried over.

Liu Shuai heard it clearly, but was completely bewildered. After he understood what was going on, he angrily stood up and prepared to charge over to explain, "Hey, I'm not a freak! Not at all, I was just…" At this point, he didn't know what to say, so he took two steps forward and stopped. The two girls didn't seem to hear what he said. They only held hands together and quickly walked away. Liu Shuai shook his head and continued asking me, “Hey, tell me, what do you plan to do?"

I thought for a while and replied, "I haven't decided yet. It's already a little late so let me go back and think about it. Tomorrow, we'll discuss this with Zhou Yuan and first ask his opinions. Yan's situation is..." I felt a little ashamed, but still made up my mind, "after all, he's still staying in the mirror, so he's fine for now."
