Chapter 84

The man turned to look at Cora and said, “You just haven't reached the peak of the mortal world. In this world, only a few people could reach the peak, so there were so many people who were addicted to it. As long as one reaches the peak of the mortal world, he will only go downhill in the future. Therefore, the best state for people is on the path to its peak. " Cora’s mouth was wide open in shock. She looked at the monk. "Master, I seem to understand." The man finally stopped smiling, and a rare seriousness appeared on his kind face. "With all due respect, you have too much resentment and entanglement. But I still want to tell you that everything is predestined. You can't force it. " Even though Cora still didn't believe in Buddhism, she was deeply touched and couldn't tell what she felt. "Master, have you ever regretted?" In fact, Cora didn't know what he would regret. "Regret? Regret commonly exists when one is born. But today, in my world, satisfaction and regret are unnecessary. The most favorite word in the mortal world was that love would never last long, and wisdom would always be hurt. I think it makes sense.People who were too happy would often find some pain to try, and people who were too painful would often desire to be happy.It's just a state of mind.”The man stood up and stood in front of the Bodhisattva statue, leaving Cora aback. "Master, I still want to know..." Before Cora could finish her words, the monk raised his left hand and waved it to stop her. "You can leave now. You are not destined to meet me. You still have too many thoughts to explore by yourself. You can come to me again after you go through everything. Maybe at that time, you will be destined to meet me. "The man only had his back to Cora, and no one could see his expression clearly. "Okay, I see, master. Sorry to bother you.0Cora stood up and was about to leave, but she heard the master’s words again. "Remember, everything is predestined and cannot be forced." The man finally turned around, expressionless. Nodding, Cora walked out of the temple. As she walked, she looked back at the temple in front of her. If it weren't for her sharp eyes, perhaps ordinary people wouldn't have been able to see the temple. She had planned to let the master solve her doubts, but she didn't expect that she was still confused. However, some ideas gradually came to Cora’s mind. If it weren't for the monk, she wouldn't have understood it for the rest of her life. Obsession was a thorn in her heart. This thorn was invisible and untouchable, but it was floating around in the mortal world. Still unable to see through the world,Cora breathed a sigh of relief. Since she couldn't see through it, she had to go through it step by step. There were always some things that could only be understood after she experienced them. As soon as she went out of the temple,Cora found her bike and wanted to check the time. When she took out her phone, she saw several missed calls from Zoe. As soon as Cora called back,Zoe’s voice came into her ears, "Hey,Cora, where have you been? I was so anxious that I thought something had happened to you. I was about to call the police just now.” Zoe’s worry was reasonable, because this was a high-end tourist resort. It was hard to guarantee that someone would kidnap tourists for money. What's more,Cora was so beautiful. Beauty would provoke danger. Cora smiled.Zoe was always so considerate. "I'm fine. I just wandered around by myself. Where are you? I'm coming for you." "There is a pavilion on the shore. Let's take a rest here and have dinner later. Come here quickly. Do you need to ask Noah to pick you up?”Zoe’s anxious tone was full of concern. "No, thanks. Just wait for me there. I'll be right there." Cora hung up the phone. Sometimes she felt she was miserable because of such a marriage, but sometimes she felt she was lucky because she had such a friend. It was said that friends would help others, and Zoe was probably the best representative. The corners of Cora’s mouth lifted into a smirk. In fact, her life was not that dim. Just as the master said, the peak of the mortal world was beautiful, but any peak was just a point, and the peak would decline. It was better to keep searching than to decline. Thinking of what the master had said, Cora rode her bike to the pavilion by the lake. Recently, the sky above the city was always not very beautiful. Fortunately, here was like a fairyland, and the sky was getting blue. If it weren't for the fact that she was involved in distracting thoughts, she might have come to such a place for the rest of her life. But if she quit now, it meant that she had failed in her life, not to mention that she couldn't do it without any distractions. After kicking her bike hard with her right foot, Cora put her left foot on the stand naturally. A beginner would definitely feel scared, because she didn't believe that a small bike could carry her to the distance. But when she learned it, she would feel wonderful. In fact, life was almost the same as riding a bike. Most of the time, one would feel that the speed of riding was as fast as the time passed, because before she could see the scenery on the roadside, she had already been in a hurry. Sometimes, she would even hit a telegraph pole. At this time, some people chose to pat the dust, some chose not to ride, and some were afraid of riding. Some people said that character decided fate, while some stood out to deny it. However, in Cora’s opinion, her personality did determine her fate. Cowardice could be bullied, and being strong could make a big deal. Between the two, Cora always forced herself to be strong. You can't stop halfway up the mountain and burst into tears before you reach the finish line. Sitting on her bike, Cora felt the wind whistling past her. It was a feeling of freedom that made people want to scream. She had forgotten more than half of what the master said to her, and only remembered, "Everything is predestined. Don't force it." Believe it or not. When Zoe saw Cora from a distance,Zoe waved her hand excitedly and shouted, "Cora, Cora, here, here. Come here." A smile appeared at the corners of Cora’s mouth. Only in front of Zoe could she be the most real person. Wearing a coat and a mask all the time, she was tired. Stopping in front of Zoe, Cora smiled and said, "It seems that I have to get up early to run in the future. My health is getting worse and worse. How could I not catch up with you in college?" Zoe handed a bottle of water to Cora and laughed, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would overthink. Look at you, you don't know what you are doing all day long. Why don't you exercise more and learn yoga, tea, embroidery and so on? At that time, you would have some skills, lest others say that you are nothing but good-looking." Taking over the water and taking a big sip, Cora rolled her eyes at Zoe and said, "In my opinion, if there is the best bad friend award, it should be given to you. If you call yourself the second, no one dares to call herself the first." Noah put a big smile on his face,Cora pretended to be angry and said, "Take care of your Zoe. You two work together to bully me. I won't play with you anymore." Putting the water in the bike basket, Cora rode away without saying a word. Zoe shouted behind him, "Hey, Sara, wait for us.” The three rode back together. When they finally arrived at a restaurant, they found it was closed. Stopping at the gate of a restaurant, Cora thought to herself, ''It's not easy to have a meal in such a remote place. It's really not a place for people to stay for a long time.' Noah and Zoe also stopped at the door. Looking at the closed door, Cora sighed and said, "I'm hungry." Taking a look at the gate and then at Zoe, Noah finally fixed his eyes on her. “We brought some food and wanted to have a picnic. But the food is in the car, there is about half an hour left before we go back. Can you still hold on? "
