[Sentence summary] This is the story of a young warrior monk who was tricked into the entertainment industry by his twin brothers and ended up accidentally becoming an actor. [Serious introduction] Xu Zhen is an orphan who grew up in a temple. The old host pulled him up with one hand. The two of them were not father and son, but they were better than father and son. Xu Zhen originally wanted to formally enter the precepts when he was twenty years old and support his master until he died. As a result, when he was eighteen years old, a man who claimed to be his brother contacted him. He said his mother had passed away and asked him if he wanted to come to pay homage. Xu Zhen thought for a long time and finally followed his master's advice. Whether it's the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha or the mortal world, let's go down the mountain and have a look before making a decision. However. What was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain was... His twin brother, who is an eighteenth-tier artist, left him at home as a stand-in and ran away on his own! Road! Got it!

"As a result, now that the skylight is opened at the last minute, how will I behave in the future?" "Please, help me, it doesn't matter if I act well or bad!" Xu Zhen looked at the red 50,000 yuan in front of him and hesitated. He thought of the leaky dining hall in the southwest corner and the trembling Sutra Pavilion, and silently settled the accounts. "The young monk is devoted to the Buddha. How can he easily get involved in the world of mortals without attaining a Zen mind..." Xu Zhen said with a serious face: "You have to pay more."

What is the secret of your success?" On a winter afternoon, Hulay showed reporters from all over the world the highest honor he had just received, and a reporter asked him such a question. Faced with the looks from reporters, Hu Lai's thoughts went back to that afternoon in middle school, when he stood alone by the court watching other students play. They didn't let him play, thinking he was here to cause trouble. He also thought of what the coach said to him with a straight face: "Hu Lai, if you can't put in ten times the effort of others, your talent will be just a worthless stone." And a disdainful voice: "Modern football's requirements for centers are getting higher and higher, and they are becoming more and more comprehensive. What's the use of just shooting?"

In the middle of an abandoned open space covered with weeds, a girl said to him seriously: "Hu Lai, you are actually talented, and a very powerful talent! Because you know where the goal is!" Hu Lai stared at the girl's eyes, and saw the sunset behind him from those eyes. The sunlight is reflected in the pupils, flowing, burning, and condensing into a halo of light, as if it wants to melt itself into this light. After withdrawing his thoughts, Hu Lai returned to this warm winter afternoon. Facing the enthusiastic reporters, he smiled slightly: "Because I know that the goal is there."
