Los Angeles.

Beverly Hills, known as"the most exclusive residential area in the world", is known as the representative and symbol of wealth and fame.

Located on the refreshing Pacific coast and at the foot of Beverly Hills.

This is the world-famous dream place in the minds of the world's richest people.

As the most famous city-within-a-city in Los Angeles, it has the world's most high-end commercial streets and many mansions of Hollywood movie stars.

It is also the center of the world's film industry. Holy place.

It took Nicolas Cage nearly ten years of hard work to buy a medium-sized mansion here and become neighbors with top Hollywood actors, directors, and producers.

And more Hollywood actors don't even dare to think about buying a house here.

This morning.

Lin Chen was sitting in the passenger seat. He was wearing a peaked cap to cover his abrupt bald head. He was looking at the scenery outside the car window with great curiosity.

Beverly Hills, which often appears in the news, was his first time here.

I originally thought it was just a villa complex built on a mountain, similar to the mid-level villa area in Xiangjiang, but I never expected it to be so big.

It's not a villa at all, but a town.

According to Elizabeth's introduction, Beverly Hills not only has an elected mayor, police department, fire department and other functional departments, but also a large number of commercial districts, large hotels, and entertainment venues.

It feels like a large state-owned factory in the 1980s and 1990s. There are not only factory buildings for work, but also various entertainment facilities, shops and residential buildings.

No wonder it is called a city within a city.

Soon, after leaving the bustling commercial district, Elizabeth went straight to the direction of the mansion area. It was relatively tight there, and the guards at the door had guys on each waist.

Fortunately, Elizabeth had a house in Beverly Hills, and Nicolas Cage had also greeted the security guard at the door before, so her car entered the residential area of ​​Beverly Hills smoothly.

Nicolas Cage's doorstep

"Master Yichen!"

When he saw Lin Chen walking out of the car, Nicholas immediately stepped forward to greet him. Lin

Chen smiled and bowed his hands and said,"Amitabha, Master Cage, I haven't seen you for many days, but your style remains the same."

Nicholas hurriedly learned to clasp his hands and responded:"Master Yichen, the same style remains the same."

"Click~"

The car door was closed, and Elizabeth saw Nicholas from the cab and said with a smile:"Hi, Cage!

Nicholas quickly greeted with a smile:"Hello, Ms. Elizabeth.""

They are all in the same circle. Although Elizabeth is a reporter for a TV network, her father is the famous Rupert Murdoch, so Elizabeth knows many star actors and producers in the circle.

Several After a few pleasantries, the group entered the house under Nicholas' warm reception.

After inviting the two of them to sit down, Nicholas himself made two cups of tea and brought them over:

"Master Yichen, this is the tea I specially sent to Chinatown in Los Angeles to buy. I heard it is the best tea in China, Dragon Tea. Please try it and see if it is true."

Dragon tea?

Longjing tea!

Lin Chen didn't care about the other party's mistake. After all, there were too few foreign vocabulary, and Longjing tea still needed to spell out the three words dragon, well, and tea separately.

Glancing at the tea leaves in the cup, it was indeed I just don’t know if Longjing tea is the best. After all, most people can’t tell the difference between tea.

After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Lin Chen pretended to praise:"Good tea! Mr. Cage, it seems you made the right purchase"

"Hehe... Of course, this box of tea cost me 500 US dollars." puff~~~

$500?

Lin Chen looked at the proud Nicholas as if he was being blamed.

He really didn't know if he would want to vomit blood when he learned that China now has Longjing tea, and you can buy a bag for 10 US dollars.

Nicholas suddenly asked:"By the way, Master Yichen, do you know the story of the twelve animals?"

"Zodiac sign?"

"Yes, the twelve zodiac signs! I have heard someone tell the story of the twelve animals in China before. It is said that one animal represents one year, and it comes around every twelve years.……"

Nicholas talked endlessly about the twelve zodiac animals he knew, and then he asked:"Master Yichen, what animal do you think represents me? Is it a dragon? I heard someone said that 1964 was the Year of the Dragon."

"Don’t know when Mr. Cage’s birthday is?"

"January 7, 1964"

"January? Lin

Chen frowned, silently counted with his fingers, and calculated from this year forward. Then he smiled and shook his head and said:"No, Master Cage, your representative is not a dragon, but a rabbit.""

"rabbit?!"Nicholas was stunned.

Elizabeth laughed out loud:"Don't talk about Cage, your face looks quite similar to that of a rabbit."

""This~"

Nicholas said awkwardly:"But I clearly heard that 1964 was the Year of the Dragon, and it comes around every twelve years. Isn't that right? Why am I a rabbit?"

"Master Cage, 1964 was indeed the Year of the Dragon"

"But our country is divided into the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar. The Gregorian calendar is the international Gregorian calendar."

"The lunar calendar is based on the traditional Chinese calendar accumulated over thousands of years. Strictly speaking, the end of 1963 was not December 31, but February 12, 1964."

Lin Chen is not surprised that Nicholas misunderstood.

After all, foreigners use the Gregorian calendar.

In their view, the first day of 1964 is January 1st, but for us, it is after New Year's Eve, and the first day of the Lunar New Year is 1964." first day

"ah? I didn’t expect that the person representing me would actually be a rabbit."

Nicholas couldn't laugh or cry. In the United States, rabbits have a special meaning, generally referring to homosexuality.

"Mr. Cage, the rabbit is a very good animal in our country. It represents a symbol of alertness and luck."

Seeing that Nicholas was sad that he was not a dragon, Lin Chen said with a smile:"In ancient Chinese mythology, it is said that the rabbit and the dragon are twin brothers. They not only combine the majesty of the dragon, but also the cleverness and intelligence of the rabbit."

"Come to think of it, this poor monk is very suitable to represent layman Cage."

"Really?"Nicholas' eyes lit up. He didn't expect that in Chinese mythology, the dragon and the rabbit are twins, and the rabbit has so many beautiful meanings.

"Of course, monks don’t lie!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he realized that he was speaking Chinese and immediately switched to:"We monks are not allowed to tell lies."

"Very good teaching!

Nicholas agreed:"Lying is a bad behavior. This gave me a new understanding of Buddhism.""

The teachings of Judaism are very complex. There are parts from the Bible, but there are also parts that are unique to the Jews. For example, they think it is best not to lie, and they do not need to tell the truth. They can even lie when necessary.

"Master Yichen, what animal represents me? I was born in August 1968~"

Elizabeth was also curious, what kind of animal represented herself?

"monkey."

Lin Chen explained:"In our opinion, Shen Monkey represents intelligence.……"

As time passed, a few people chatted about the twelve zodiac animals, and Lin Chen explained a simple Buddhist story to them, thus deepening their understanding of Buddhism.

Fortunately for Elizabeth, she has now become a fanatical and devout Buddhist.

Although she doesn’t know much about Buddhist culture, she is working hard on self-study every day.

But Nicholas was different. He didn't have a strong desire to learn, but after Lin Chen told some short Buddhist stories, he also gained a new understanding of the great compassionate act of cutting meat to feed eagles in the stories.

The tea party went very quickly, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

After Nicholas finished listening to another Buddhist story, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"Master Yichen, in addition to asking you to come here this time to learn more about Buddhism, I also want to ask you for one more thing."

"oh? I wonder what happened to Cage’s residence?"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the other party finally couldn't hold back and got down to business.

"It’s like this. I have a friend’s daughter who has been encountering some bad luck recently. For seven or eight days in a row, bad things have happened to her every day, and she has also been injured because of them.……"

Listening to it,

Lin Chen always felt that the daughter of Nicholas's friend was most likely Natalie Portman?

"Um~~"

Nicholas struggled for a while, and finally explained his guess as to why the little girl was always unlucky:

"The little girl might have gone too far before. After meeting a group of monks, she said some rude words, and she became unlucky from that day on."

"I think this may have offended the monks and resulted in a punishment."

Perhaps to express that he did not agree with the little girl's behavior, Nicholas quickly added:

"Of course, I admit that my friend’s daughter’s behavior is very bad and does need some punishment, but I think it has been almost ten days and the punishment should be over."

"Amitabha! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Chen bowed with one hand and said:"You will be punished for being disrespectful to the Buddha, but as layman Cage said, the punishment should end." Nicholas

' eyes lit up:"Master Yichen, can you help?""

"have no idea."

Lin Chen didn't take care of everything.

Even if he was behind the whole thing from beginning to end, he still had to say:"But the poor monk is willing to try and help this female benefactor resolve the cause and effect."

"Great Master Yichen!"

Nicholas said excitedly:"I'll call them right now and ask the mother and daughter to come over."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cage."

Lin Chen never thought of letting Natalie go so easily. He stood up and said carefully:"That little girl was disrespectful to the Buddha. She must offer tribute and at the same time pray devoutly for the Buddha's forgiveness."

"What kind of tribute does this... need?"

"It's very simple, just some fruits and scented candles. You can send someone to Chinatown to buy incense candles."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements."

Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to give some bad tribute like the sect in the movie.

"In addition, she needs to fast and bathe for three days. The specific monk will write a note and give it to Layman Cage."[]

"Good Master Yichen."

After knowing that it was probably too late today, Nicholas didn't care too much. Anyway, Natalie had already been unlucky for so many days, and she didn't care if she was unlucky for a few more days. He found paper and pen, and asked Master Yichen to write the required tributes and return them. After finding something taboo, Nicholas also put away the note.

"Master Cage, wait until everything is ready before contacting the poor monk."

"Good Master Yichen! Nicholas nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said quickly:"Master Yichen, I am a diamond member of the Beverly Hotel in front. Do you need me to arrange a suite for you to rest?""

"Master Cage is determined.

Lin Chen shook his head and said,"Elizabeth, the benefactor, has prepared a residence for the poor monk." Elizabeth nodded:"I also have a house in Beverly Hills, not far in front.""

".Okay, Master Yichen, I will inform you when they are ready."

Nicholas personally escorted Lin Chen and Elizabeth out of the house.

After watching them leave, he took out his mobile phone and called Julia, asking her to come over as soon as possible. He took the note and went to Chinatown and followed the instructions above. do as instructed

"Okay, okay!"

Julia hung up the phone excitedly, and then said to her daughter Natalie, who was lying on the bed and covered with a quilt:

"Natalie, Uncle Cage has contacted Dongfang Shengzi, let us go there now."

"real?!"

Natalie suddenly sat up from the bed.

I don't know if it was because she was too anxious, but when she sat up, she directly twisted her waist.

"Ah~ Mommy, my waist~~"

"damn it! It's okay, honey, it will be over soon, and soon you won't be so unlucky."

Julia is very distressed. Her daughter has been unlucky for almost ten days, and she has been injured every time.

How can she not make Julia, a mother, feel distressed.

But fortunately, Nicholas has contacted Dongfang Shengzi, and he heard that The other party seems to have found a solution.

This bad day can finally be ended.

……………………………………

……………………………………

Julie, who was sitting in the car, was reading the newspaper in her hand boredly.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a car parked at the door of the mansion diagonally opposite.

A blonde girl in a women's suit got out of the car, and then a bald child in a white bathrobe got out of the passenger seat.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Julie looked down at the newspaper in her hand again, and said in surprise:"Elizabeth Murdoch?"

"Is that the Holy Son of the East over there?"

Julie looked at the photos in the newspaper, then looked at the two people walking into the mansion, with a trace of amusement flashing in her eyes.

She didn't expect that what the newspaper said was true.

This Murdoch's daughter is really Not only did he believe in Buddhism, but he also brought the Holy Son with him.

"Is it really that magical?"

Julie touched her baby's fat chin, which was still a little round at this time. Last year, she filmed her first movie in her life,"The Terminator."

This movie is an action science fiction movie, focusing on Chinese Kung Fu. The martial arts instructor of the crew came from Hong Kong.

Coupled with many Chinese actors and some Chinese culture revealed in the movie, Julie also learned what Buddhism is.

This In two days, the daughter of the news tycoon Rupert Murdoch converted from Catholicism to Buddhism. This was something that countless people did not expect.

Even Julie was curious about whether this holy son from the East was what the newspapers said. So magical

"dong dong~~"

Suddenly, at this moment, someone knocked on the car window.

Julie rolled down the window, looked at the middle-aged man outside and said,"How are you, Daddy?!"

"Come on, let's go in and visit director Robert Altman."

Jolie's father, Jon Voight, is a Hollywood actor who has been active in the Hollywood film market since the 1960s.

In 1969, he was nominated for the 42nd Academy Award for Best Actor. Although he did not Winning the award, but this also made Jon Voight's career in Hollywood smooth sailing.

Julie could have had smooth sailing in Hollywood, but her mother and Jon Voight divorced as early as the 1980s, which also caused Julie Life has been quite tight since he was a child.

Fortunately, Jon Voight still has some responsibilities as a father. After learning that his daughter wanted to take the entertainment industry, he was also ready to help pave the way for her.

"Very good!"

Julie's eyes lit up when she heard that she could meet Director Ultraman. Recently, people in the industry have been rumoring that this great director is planning to make a comedy.

Julie's acting skills are far from as silky as she was later. It’s slippery, so it’s the best choice to shoot comedies that require less acting skills.

What Julie didn't expect was that when she followed her father into the mansion of Director Altman, she saw the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts.

Julie also has sexy lips, and Julia Roberts has become a rising star in Hollywood today because of her big mouth, and is well known to North American movie fans.

The two of them looked at each other like this
