   Chenlong muttered to himself, "Since it was Shakyamuni who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, will the Buddha appear if I call out 'Tathagata'?" He then began calling out "Tathagata" ten times in succession to the Bodhi tree. However, the tree remained a tree, offering no response. Seeing this, Baifeng tugged at Chenlong's arm, saying, "I think you should stop calling; there's absolutely no reaction." Chenlong replied helplessly, "What?! I'm getting oxygen-deprived!" Just then, a fat monk suddenly fell from the tree. The fat monk stood smiling in front of Chenlong and said, "I am 'I Go Monk,' not the Buddha himself. However, the Buddha resides under the Bodhi tree, and the Buddha remains in our hearts. May I ask what business you have with me?" Chenlong and Baifeng were startled by the sudden appearance of the monk. They exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

    Reader note

    There's a good short story in the book section—"The Cycle of Reincarnation, Love and Hate Dissipate." Unlike typical angst-filled novels, the angst lies in the mutual torment between the male and female leads and the tragic sense of fate they can't overcome, much like a mid-range An-Huai relationship in astrology. The female lead is well-developed and realistic, and the supporting female characters also have their own highlights. The male lead seems like a typical indecisive Libra man. But the male and female leads are actually soulmates; it's just that, because of their past experiences, they are destined not to reconcile.
