Chapter 123: Crazy Monk
In less than half an hour, the heavy rain finally became much milder and began to fall sporadically.
Wang Leng, who stopped to avoid the rain, turned on the radio in the car and listened to the current news to kill the boring waiting.
The radio is tuned around, and there are only a few stations, but there are not many options, and a certain FM channel is broadcasting a typical case, and the location involved is in Huangshui.
In their revelations, the radio media pointed out that the law enforcers of certain units have failed to act, allowed illegal fundraisers to set up scams, and used low investment and high returns as bait to defraud ordinary investors of their hard-earned money......
It is said that things in the world are as changeable as the weather, but it seems that you can make some predictions in advance like weather forecasts, and find all kinds of clues.
When all kinds of contradictions and disputes accumulate to a certain extent, only some sudden factors are needed as a form of success, and a series of chain reactions will be triggered......
Take Wu Ming, who is known for his vast land and abundant resources, has a huge population, almost about the same size as the surrounding countries combined, but the period of peace has been a long time, everyone is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, and the social atmosphere is not as good as day by day.
In addition, the elite class with vested interests is increasingly encroaching on the interests of the people at the bottom, harvesting surplus value at will, and cutting leeks wave after wave, making the gap between the rich and the poor increasingly wide, and all kinds of contradictions are becoming more and more acute.
The news also said that during this period of time, some people became heavily indebted in order to invest and make hot money, and finally chose to jump off the building and commit suicide when they became insolvent......
Some people were forced to abandon their families and children and hide in the mountains and forests, just to escape responsibility......
What's more, they believe in the Taoist idea of indisputability, feel that the root of everything is their own desires, blame themselves for being greedy and not swallowing elephants, and everything is to blame......
Under the deep-rooted ideological form of compromise, it seems that every time the world is in decline, all kinds of thoughts will erupt to avoid disasters and pray for blessings, which are used to seek psychological comfort.
"Is it really for everyone?"
Wang Leng listened to the news, smiled slightly bitterly, he took off a red rope pendant from his neck, peeled off the inside of the rope sleeve, and it was a round earthy yellow jade bead.
This jade bead is the Tuyuan pearl given by the Void Year Dao Chief, and it is taken out and held in his hand at this moment, with a warm feeling, and then it enters the body through the palm of his hand, which makes the irritability in Wang Leng's heart slightly soothed.
"For the sake of not fighting...... What kind of words is this, if you don't fight, I won't fight, will you keep swallowing your anger?"
"Watching others fight for everything you have and starve to death without food or clothing is the best practice?"
Thinking of these seemingly contradictory arguments, Wang Leng's heart was complicated and inconclusive, he recalled the friendly and tranquil face of the Void Old Dao, and thought of the other party's appreciation, and hung it back around his neck.
This Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, although the process has ups and downs, ups and downs, and twists and turns.
But it is still morally unchanged, and it has its own reason to be preserved in the world, and it is not completely useless.
"Before some things happen, futile worries will only add to your own troubles!"
Wang smiled negligently, and no longer bothered himself.
After a while, the showers finally stopped.
Wang Leng retracted his sentimental thoughts, twisted the car key to start the engine and continued on the road, all the way back to the Wang family compound.
Looking at the time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Leng had no intention of alarming the others, he parked the car and returned to his room, ready to take a hot bath and sleep well.
But just as he was about to take off his clothes and put water in the bath, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Leng, open the door quickly......"
Then Jin Ji's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Leng was stunned when she heard this, thinking that Jin Ji was too anxious! As soon as she came back, she secretly ran over, did she want to keep warm up with herself?
When she opened the door, Jin Ji's smiling Mimi's face immediately met Wang Leng's eyes.
It's just that behind her, there is also an old man in a shabby monk's robe, with a sloppy appearance, and he doesn't look like a normal person no matter how he looks at it.
What made Wang Leng even more strange was that Akita and Kun Fei were also on the side, and they were standing on both sides of the old man, with a stern posture, as if they were afraid of something.
Wang Leng was surprised in his heart, and just wanted to ask a question, but was stopped by Jin Ji: "This crazy monk has an unknown origin, and he suddenly came to visit today and wants to see you by name...... What nonsense is in our mouths, we have nothing to do for a while, and as soon as you come back, we will bring people over. ”
"What is this master called?"
Wang Leng couldn't hear why, so he had to ask the old monk.
I didn't know that the other party looked at him stupidly, but he didn't talk.
If he didn't speak, Wang Leng became even more depressed, what kind of situation is this old man, can't he really be a madman!
But if it was really a crazy monk, why didn't Jin Jiao and the Wang family leave, but stayed at home and waited for him to come back?
With these questions, Wang Leng invited them into the room, and stood in the middle by himself, with Jin Ji, Akita and Kun Fei sitting on both sides, and the old monk sitting on the opposite side.
Under the light, the peculiar face of the old monk was clearly visible.
His face was full of messy cheeks, his mouth was completely covered, and the middle of his nose was flat, making the distance between his eyes and his nose slightly flat and wide.
What makes people feel funny is that the old monk's two eyes are large and narrow, but the eyebrows are very short, about half the length of the eyes, and there is not much difference, if you don't look closely, you think he has no eyebrows.
The strange-looking old monk has been staring at Wang Leng since he came in, and his eyes are very peaceful, without a trace of panic.
Looking at his leisurely appearance, it seems that he is a guest invited by Wang Leng, where there is a trace of madness.
Wang Leng felt curious in his heart, if he was replaced by a real crazy old man, I am afraid that it would be impossible to do this, maybe there was something special about the other party.
He asked, "Looking at your appearance, it is clear that you are a monk who has not practiced lightly, I don't know why you dress up like this?"
"Amitabha, the benefactor's words are wrong! There is a way that good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a thousand. Do you see that the poor monk and I am a lot older, like the kind of layman who is in the form of an accident?"
This time, the old monk was no longer silent, but forced his words to reason, and he spoke eloquently.
Wang Leng was quite amused, and said angrily: "Gao... High... Your old ideological consciousness is really high, and we and other laypeople really can't understand it...... Tell me why you're here!"
The old monk said: "The poor monk has traveled here, and I heard that the donor is kind and giving, and I wanted to ask you to spend some money on fasting. ”
"That's it?"
Wang Leng was a little stunned when he heard it, obviously not believing in such vernacular.
The old monk said: "It's as simple as that, I hope the donor believes it." ”
"In that case, then I'll give you some money!"
Wang Leng said and took out his wallet, took out three hundred yuan from it, and handed it to the old monk.
Who knew that the old monk refused to accept it, and said that he was old, his legs and feet were not good, and he had no food, clothing, housing and transportation at present, and hoped that Wang Leng would do good things to the end and temporarily take him in for a while.
Wang Leng was a little embarrassed after hearing this, saying that he was now also under the fence and was not able to provide good help.
The old monk said: "I am so old, I don't care about how good the treatment is, I just want to have three meals and a place to go at night......
"This ......"
Wang Leng was undecided, and it seemed that it was not easy to agree or not.
The three daughters next to her, Jin Ji, Akita and Kun Fei, couldn't help it anymore when they heard this, they all had expressions that had something to say.
