Chapter 20 The Essence of Avalokitesvara Myths

Fortunately, Zhang Chihang didn't think anything was wrong, so he ignored us, picked up the landline on the table and dialed the number: "Xiaohong, come in."

In less than three seconds, a young man walked in in a red suit. The young man was at least 1.8 meters tall, but his teeth were bright and bright, and his baby face had no expression and a cool look. When Zhang Chihang saw him coming in, he directly ordered: "Tell me, Mr. Wang, his son is safe. In addition, if the 1 billion is here, I will donate it for me."

"Okay" Xiaohong didn't say a word, but Liu Shuai and I were about to fall off: "Donate, donate?"

"Remember, don't donate that, you know." Zhang Chihang ignored us and continued to instruct: "What are my donation list now?"

"Disabled small animals, followed by wind and sand control." Xiaohong's face was expressionless.

I'll go...

"Start from this, donate down, that'sall~"

Xiaohong was obviously used to it and was about to quit, but she glanced at me by accident, and couldn't help but tremble. Her eyes were extremely frightened, and she staggered and almost fell.

Zhang Chihang saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing"

"that'sall~" Zhang Chihang waved.

Xiaohong hurried out, as if she didn't want to see me again, which made me confused.

Liu Shuai seemed to have lost the 1 billion yuan, immersed in a pain. But I remembered a shadow in my heart and quickly said, "That'sall is the classic line in the movie "The Female Devil Wearing Prada""

Zhang Chihang looked at me and smiled: "Yes."

It was rare that he was willing to answer our words, so I quickly continued to chat: "That, I didn't expect you to like the lines here too."

I was about to express my opinion on this movie. After all, I had a common language and could continue chatting. If I didn’t get close, I would ask for help. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chihang waved his hand: "You made a mistake. It’s not that I like the lines here, it’s that the author of this book likes my sentence, and then used it as a line."

"What?" I obviously had no brains. When I looked at Liu Shuai, I looked admiring and my mind stopped moving.

Zhang Chihang looked down at his landscape bonsai: "This author was Anna's assistant at the time. Oh, Anna is the American editor-in-chief of our magazine. My identity is in addition to being the head of the Asia-Pacific region of this magazine."

The rank of the job is so high? No wonder he is so rude to the editor here. I remembered what he said inside when he didn't come in just now.

I was not allowed to get distracted, Zhang Chihang continued, "It's still a shareholder of this group. Every time the shareholders meet, after I read the documents, I always like to push the documents forward and say: that'sall~, Anna's assistant is also there at this time. Maybe she found it very interesting, so she remembered it. Then in her novel, she arranged this sentence as Anna's catchphrase, that'sall~"

"Oh..." I don't know how to answer this. If I say this from the mouth of the people who love to talk to the mountains in a certain city, I can still smile and brag, but with his performance and identity today, I believe it a little. But I always feel it's too dramatic, so I don't plan to worry about this issue: "I really admire you, donate it if you say 1 billion."

"It's not done without donating, I can't use this money." Zhang Chihang rubbed his forehead, "I want Wang Dong to give up and find someone else when he sees the difficulties. Who knows that he is also a cruel person and loves his son. I can only ignore cause and effect, otherwise I will have a killing disaster in the future."

"Killing robbery..." I know one thing about this. The battle for the gods in "The Romance of the Gods" originated from the Heavenly Emperor ordered the 12 immortals to be the subject of the sect, and the disciples of the Ancient Sect needed to complete the killing robbery. However, Mr. Xu mentioned this matter in detail and did not explain it in detail. But this is just the saying of the novelist, how can it be taken seriously? I raised my question, and Liu Shuai also expressed his confusion. After all, the historical community has basically concluded the war between Shang and Zhou.

"Hehe" Zhang Chihang smiled and walked towards the sofa at the door. He was very tall and looked at at least 1.9 meters away. After he sat down, we also sat down, watching him sitting high on the sofa, ready to listen to Guan Zizai tell us the story of the past. Zhang Chihang asked us a question: "I ask you, what is the myth?"

"Huh?" Liu Shuai thought for a while, "Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot the sun, Chang'e fled to the moon, and the legend of the new White Snake are all myths."

Zhang Chihang looked at Liu Shuai and shook his head: "Don't use enumeration method, tell me what myth is."

"This, is there a story about gods and ghosts?" Liu Shuai scratched his head, "or is there a story about magical powers?"

"Where are gods and ghosts in Kuafu's pursuit of the Rising? What magic did Kuafu use? You have a very smart head. It turns out that it just looks bright. In your heart, is it a fairy tale that a mouse or a cat can speak, and it is a science fiction novel to say something aliens?" Zhang Chihang smiled.

Liu Shuai's face turned red. Although he was not as good as Ah Q in Lu Xun's works, he was always unhappy when he was allused to be bald. So he looked at me and planned to change the topic: "Hao Ning, isn't it important for you to always tell me about product definitions? What is a myth?"

Damn, Liu Shuai actually learned to divert his attention. How to define this thing? I remembered the way Yan dealt with me at that time, and smiled: "Liu Shuai, give me your phone."

"Smart", Liu Shuai immediately smiled and took out his phone to check the answers on Baidu.

Zhang Chihang didn't even look at Liu Shuai, and said quietly: "Oh, you still have to use your phone with such a bright head? Do you want to compare with your phone whose Tianling Cover is more reflective?"

Suddenly, Liu Shuai's face turned red and said nothing. The phone he took out was not checked, nor was he not checked.

Zhang Chihang ignored Liu Shuai's embarrassment, and his eyes passed through Liu Shuai and looked at me, as if Liu Shuai was air that could be ignored at all. He smiled and said to me, "Your name is Haoning, right? Checking your phone doesn't count, and the answer you found is not standard, so you have to say something that points directly to your heart."

He pointed his finger at the position of his heart and pointed at me again.

"Do you think..." Liu Shuai looked at me and nodded.

Maybe I was self-indulgent, but when I recalled that from the time I entered the office door to now, Zhang Chihang seemed to be more polite to me and was more patient to explain. Especially compared to Liu Shuai being laughed at by him just now, and he said this to me again, the comparison should not be too obvious.

I shook my head and thought about it carefully. I had indeed discussed similar issues with people, so I asked him back: "Are you talking about myths or deifications?"

As I said that, I dipped the water in the cup and wrote a word and a "transform" on the coffee table.

"Interesting" Zhang Chihang's eyes had a little more light, "Tell me, look"

It seems there is a door, I thought, while I said, "In my understanding, early legends can basically be classified as the deification of real events. For example, Kuafu Chasing the Sun may be a story of a tribe who eventually died in order to chase the sunlight on crops for a long time; for example, a girl from a tribe became pregnant because she stepped on the footprints of a giant. It is likely that the saying of a girl from this tribe who got pregnant after having sex with someone. These are more or less real events, but otherwise the taste changed after being passed on, or it would be inconvenient to tell the truth at that time--"

"It is for the saints, and for the venerables," Zhang Chihang nodded, "Continue to talk and see."

This Guanzi is a bit interesting. Why are you so interested in this topic? I thought about this question but I kept talking. "But later it developed to a certain level, such as the worship of natural forces, such as foreign culture, etc. People added their own imagination to these deified events. This imagination became farther and farther, so it gradually evolved into myths. So you will find that there are few differences in the deification stories in our country. Nuwa created humans, so they must have created humans, but the myth system is chaotic, such as the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, and all kinds of stories are different. But speaking of this, this does not prevent people from burning incense and worshiping Buddha. As long as you put a god in the temple, someone will come to worship, someone will worship, and someone will worship incense. People will not care about what the god you worship is in the system, as long as it is useful, it will be done."

Speaking of this, I felt a little weak. When I talked about my understanding of myth in front of this person, it was like a monkey jumping from a tree to tell people "What is your world like?", which was extremely absurd, so I stopped and looked at Zhang Chihang.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chihang looked at me with a smile: "You are right. Where are there any gods in this world? The so-called gods are just generated by the power of people's years of incense belief in some idols. The real power is the power of belief in people's souls. This power is so great that we can only use it for so long, but we can't understand it."

"Then what you mentioned about the killing disaster?" I tried to bring the topic back.

"Same, since people believe that there are immortals and Buddhas and killing disasters, the killing disasters of immortals and Buddhas really exist." Zhang Chihang looked at the water vapor in the humidifier in the distance, his eyes were a little quiet, "Are sentient beings living less and less in reality, and more and more in belief?"
