Chapter 67

When we arrived in Japan, it was already night. Along with Gu Nianci, there were two new staff members, both beta, one in charge of photography and the other in charge of arranging the itinerary.

When the plane landed, Gu Nianci turned on her phone. In the family group, Grandma Gu was asking if he had arrived ten minutes ago. Gu Nianci sent them a message back, telling them that they had arrived in Japan, and took a photo of the airport for them. .

Shen Ningshen didn't send any messages, the chat box of the two had been squeezed out of the first page.

The three got off the plane and went directly to the hotel. The hotel is Japanese-style tatami style. Gu Nianci has a separate room and two staff members.

It was already late when he arrived at the hotel. As soon as Gu Nianci entered the room, he went straight to take a shower. After washing, he checked his phone, but Shen Ningshen still didn't send a message to ask him if he was there.

Gu Nianci laughed at himself, thinking to himself what was he expecting? Obviously he wanted to hide from Shen Ningshen, but now he is looking forward to receiving news from Shen Ningshen?

But even thinking about it like this, when he lay on the bed, he couldn't help but think, what is Shen Ningshen doing now? Are you mad at him? Are you actually worried about him? Are you waiting for him to send a message?

He grabbed the phone and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't send a message to Shen Ningshen.

The core of this travel plan is not about tourist attractions, but from two aspects: lifestyle and humanistic awareness. Therefore, when formulating the itinerary, it is more inclined to living places. In addition, there are There are a lot of Japanese cultural experiences, including traditional and quiet ones like Japanese tea ceremony, kimono, temples, etc., and modern ones like ACG, bars, PR shops, etc.

"Come on, we are going to visit the abbot Xiaoyuan this morning. After the visit, we will have a vegetarian meal at the temple at noon. In the afternoon and tomorrow, we will have a free itinerary. Where do you want to go? I will help you arrange it in advance." Chen Kai, the staff responsible for the itinerary talking.

Before Gu Nianci could answer, Xu Zhi, who was in charge of photography, immediately smiled slyly, and said to Gu Nianci, "The temple I went to today is very beautiful, and it feels suitable for a film."

Xu Zhi and Chen Kai called Gu Nianci and Teacher Gu at first, but after getting along for a few days, they gradually became familiar with Gu Nianci. I'm not used to two uncles in their 30s calling their teacher, so they let them call their name directly.

After listening to Xu Zhi's words, Gu Nianci knew what he meant, smiled and said deliberately: "That's good, take more pictures of the scenery. Abbot Xiaoyuan can take pictures of him if he wants."

Xu Zhi clicked his tongue twice and disapproved: "Why don't you like taking pictures so much? You are so good-looking, you just stand there and don't let you take pictures. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me? We photographers are not born to see this. waste of resources.”

Gu Nianci has heard this many times in the past three weeks, and he has long been used to it, so he replied without thinking: "The focus of this book is on travel notes, and it is not my personal album, why do you shoot me? Work a little, and covet my beauty less."

Xu Zhi shook his head and put on an exaggerated sad expression: "Who said that the focus of this book is just travel notes, the focus of this book is obviously your travel notes, and the focus is how are you!"

Gu Nianci was amused by him, and said, "I'm not a person who sells sex."

Xu Zhi said to Chen Kai: "Listen to this, please help me talk about him. It's been three weeks. I've taken five photos of him so far, three of which are still from the back!"

Gu Nianci just smiled when he heard Xu Zhi's words, and said to Chen Kai: "Brother Kai, don't worry about him, I don't have any place to go in the afternoon, maybe I just stroll around in the city, or I may just stay in a hotel, you can make your own arrangements in the afternoon. ,Do not bother me."

Chen Kai's character is much more stable than Xu Zhi, he nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, tell me any place you want to go, our itinerary is not fixed, if you don't want to go here. You don’t have to go anywhere. This is just our preliminary itinerary. Although Xu Zhi is unreliable, what he just said is correct. Although this book is said to be a travel book, the bigger selling point is On you, show your personal preferences as much as possible, so you can completely change the itinerary later.”

Chen Kai told Gu Nianci about these words when he was at Ancheng Airport. At that time, he was actually quite worried that Gu Nianci would not get along well. Famous is not an exaggeration to describe, plus the other party is born with such a face, he definitely has the qualifications to make it heaven and earth.

Before leaving, Chen Kai also thought about what to do if Gu Nianci did not follow their itinerary at all, but he didn't expect that in the past three weeks, Gu Nianci would not be too cooperative. There are no changes to the itinerary.

With such a cooperative attitude, Chen Kai's work will be much easier. It stands to reason that Chen Kai should be very happy, but perhaps Gu Nianci was not well conceived before, so after Gu Nianci really cooperated, Chen Kai felt a little apologetic and guilty. Instead, he hoped that Gu Nianci would be a little freer and go to the places he really wanted to go.

But Gu Nianci didn't mention it once, as if there was no place to go or anything to want.

Only once on the street in Akihabara, he found Gu Nianci staring at a doll machine. Inside the doll machine was an ordinary white dolphin doll, but Gu Nianci watched it for a while. That was the first time he had come in so many days. This time, he saw some "wanted things" in Gu Nianci's eyes, but what that "wanted thing" was. He didn't know. He asked Gu Nianci if he wanted to clip the doll. Gu Nianci smiled at him and shook his head. He shook his head and walked away.

At that time, Chen Kai felt that he saw loneliness and loneliness in this overly beautiful boy who smiled every day.

He suddenly felt that Gu Nianci might not have a place he didn't want to go, but he was just too lazy to go, just like a person is very tired and has no desire or motivation to go.

He didn't know what made Gu Nianci so tired, but he still hoped that Gu Nianci could go where he wanted to go according to his own wishes, so he told Gu Nianci again that the itinerary could be changed at any time, but Gu Nianci could go where he wanted to go. Still just smiled and said he knew.

After the three of them had breakfast, they drove to the temple. They browsed around the temple by themselves, and then went to see the abbot Ohara.

Abbot Xiaoyuan was in his forties, but he looked only in his early thirties. He was tall and wore a light gray cassock. He didn't look very handsome, but he looked very comfortable and had a peaceful feeling.

The four entered a tea room in the backyard of the temple. The tea room was facing the lake. On the opposite side of the lake was a bamboo forest. The sliding door facing the lake was opened, and the small coffee table was placed in the middle. The lake scene and the bamboo forest formed a natural painting.

When Gu Nianci sat down, he couldn't help thinking that Shen Ningshen would definitely like it here.

For three weeks, he had no contact with Shen Ningshen. He followed Chen Kai and Xu Zhi to various places every day. When there was no itinerary, he would either sleep in a hotel or go to a crowded place such as the city or a shopping mall. , and sometimes learning to take pictures with Xu Zhi's camera.

He tries to live every day so full that he doesn't have time to think about someone.

But every day before going to bed or waking up, every time he sees a nice scenery or interesting things, he can't help but think of Shen Ningshen at first, just like this moment.

He chuckled lightly at himself, then sat down opposite the abbot Ohara.

In the past, when Gu Nianci chatted with people, Chen Kai was the translator, but the abbot Xiaoyuan was very good in Chinese, so Chen Kai and Xu Zhi only stayed in the house for a while. After Xu Zhi took a group photo of the two of them, they said went out with Chen Kai, leaving a private and relaxing environment for them.

Abbot Xiaoyuan poured a cup of tea for Gu Nianci: "I like the tea very much, try it."

The tea soup is light, the tea fragrance is also elegant, and the entrance is not astringent. Although Gu Nianci doesn't know much about tea culture, he can drink it roughly.

He smiled slightly and said, "Delicious."

Abbot Xiaoyuan said, "I know you and have seen your photos."

Gu Nianci was a little surprised: "My photo? Did Chen Kai send it to you?"

Abbot Xiaoyuan shook his head and said with a gentle smile: "No, it's a picture of an amusement park. I have a friend who is Chinese. Although he lives in Japan, he often visits Weibo. He saw it on Weibo. You, we happened to have dinner together that day, and he showed it to me. You and your friend are beautiful, so I remember."

Gu Nianci didn't expect the abbot Xiaoyuan to be so straightforward, so he couldn't help laughing: "Didn't Buddhist culture not value the appearance of men and women?"

Abbot Xiaoyuan said, "I don't care."

Gu Nianci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then you remember me because I look good."

Abbot Xiaoyuan smiled kindly and tolerantly, and said, "If there is a beautiful woman naked at the moment, and you need my help to carry her for a ride to get out of trouble, do you think I am greedy for carrying her, or do you think I am greedy for not carrying her? "

Gu Nianci was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I offended."

Because she is not greedy for sex, she is able to back her uprightly, and because she does not value the appearance of men and women, she can speak frankly about what looks good or not. If you don't lend a helping hand to the woman for the "law" in your heart, it just proves that you have a deep "greed" idea in your heart.

Being obsessed with a certain "law", Gu Nianci couldn't help but think, isn't he also obsessed with the rule that "the feelings that pheromone attracts and induces are false"?

Just when he was thinking in confusion, Abbot Xiaoyuan said, "Listen to your heart."

Listen to your heart?

Gu Nianci frowned and said: "But not everyone has a conscience and morality in their hearts, and they will fall into indulgence based on their inner intuition. Alcoholism, xd, cheating, not all just listen to their hearts and ignore them. Is it caused by morality?"

Abbot Xiaoyuan said, "You look at that bamboo forest, do you see the shadow?"

Gu Nianci was silent for a while, and said, "I see."

Abbot Xiaoyuan said: "Where there is light, there is shadow, and where there is white, there is black. There is no world that is only pure white. The world is chaotic, but because there are black shadows, do you turn a blind eye to the sun?"

Gu Nianci did not speak. Abbot Xiaoyuan glanced at him quietly and said, "Children, don't go to the other extreme and turn a blind eye to the sun because of some darkness. You can't reject a flower just because it will wither. blooming, that is cowardice."

Gu Nianci looked at the bamboo forest outside, the bamboo shadow moved lightly, but there was sunlight more indisputably than the bamboo shadow.

He looked at it for a while and said, "I have a question that may be more presumptuous."

Abbot Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter."

Gu Nianci pursed her lips and asked, "I heard that you are married. How can you be sure that you are really in love, or just attracted by pheromones?"

Abbot Xiaoyuan was not surprised by his question, he still smiled generously and said, "Look at your palm."

Gu Nianci stretched out his palm and looked at it, then looked at Abbot Xiaoyuan in confusion. Abbot Xiaoyuan pointed to the palm of his hand and asked him, "What is this?"

Gu Nianci: "The palm of your hand."

Abbot Xiaoyuan: "What about this?"

Gu Nianci: "The back of the hand."

Abbot Xiaoyuan said: "I call them all hands, is there any problem?"

Gu Nianci: "No problem."

Abbot Xiaoyuan said: "Your body is you, your pheromone is you, your inner feelings are you, and the love that arises in your heart also belongs to you, they are all part of you, why do you have to take them apart? Why must it be clearly distinguished?"

"The attraction of pheromones is not love at all, but the attraction to animals. People should not be controlled by pheromones."

Abbot Xiaoyuan nodded, poured another cup of tea for Gu Nianci, and asked, "You reject pheromone attraction and don't want to control pheromone?"

Gu Nianci was stunned for a moment, as if someone had seen it through, he couldn't help but look away and gave a low "um".

Abbot Xiaoyuan said again: "Then how do you know that your current rejection of pheromone is not controlled by pheromone in another sense?"

Gu Nianci was stunned again and looked at Abbot Xiaoyuan.

Yes, I don't want to be controlled by pheromones, but I can avoid Shen Ningshen, isn't it also because of caring about pheromones? Is this another level of pheromone control?

If I really want to "not be troubled by pheromones", then what I should do is not to escape, but to face the thoughts in my heart aboveboard?

Abbot Xiaoyuan smiled and said with kindness in his eyes: "The Buddha Dharma says emptiness, but if you cling to emptiness, emptiness will become non-empty, and the concept of emptiness should also be emptied, the so-called emptiness."

Empty the concept of emptiness.

The idea of ​​"not caring about pheromone" and "not being controlled by pheromone" should also be emptied.

Don't go to the other extreme and turn a blind eye to the sun because of some darkness.

Abbot Xiaoyuan's words kept revolving in Gu Nianci's mind, but the faces of Gu Yuanyin and Gao Jinghe were also revolving in his mind.

He closed his eyes, smiled bitterly and said, "But I still can't agree with the emotions that pheromone attracts."

Abbot Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the friend I just mentioned? You can go see him." He took the pen and paper next to him and wrote a name, an address and a string of number to him.

Gu Nianci was stunned when he saw the address: "Senior club?"

Abbot Xiaoyuan was not annoyed by his surprise, and said frankly: "He is the boss, I think maybe in the most straightforward place, you may be able to find the answer, if you go to see him, call him directly, just Saying it's my friend, he likes you quite a bit, and he kept praising you and your friend for being good-looking last time."

Gu Nianci remembered the photo from that time, the little pink umbrella that Shen Ningshen held for him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his lips.

After saying goodbye to the abbot Xiaoyuan, Gu Nianci planned to go to the address given by the abbot Xiaoyuan, and while driving there, he received a message from Grandma Gu: "Nianbao, Ning Shen is sick, you have time to call Give Ning Shen a call."
