Extra: "Dharma Monk" (about the story of the little monk who appeared in the first episode)

One.

Someone once asked me recently: Xiao Zhou, as a reporter, you have traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, so have you ever seen a monk who really has magic?

I asked: How can you define what you call a spell?

He thought for a while and said: It's just like the one in the TV movie, the method, subjugating demons and catching monsters.

I laughed: I've seen monks doing things at other people's funerals, but the kind of monster hunting can only be seen in movies and television.

How do you explain that the Dharma is boundless?

I replied: Spiritual belief naturally has no boundaries.

The answer three years ago was very materialistic.

But three years later, when I met Xuanyin, I realized that I began to look at some things more idealistically.

Xuan Yin is a monk who has been a monk for a long time, but when I first met him, I thought he was a little liar with a shaved head and pretending to be a monk.

When I first saw Xuan Yin, it was hard to imagine that he would be a monk.

Young, fashionable, jacket, carrying a Louis Vuitton messenger bag, sitting quietly in a bumpy long-distance bus, even the cloudy air seemed to be cleaned by the faint smell of perfume on his body.

As I looked at his beautiful sports watch, he smiled at me and asked me if I was a journalist.

I asked him how he could see it.

He said, 'Feel'. Different professions can make people have different temperaments, and you have a particularly strong journalist temperament, so you can feel it at once. So, can you get a sense of what my profession is?

I was asked, shaking my head: Career? I thought you were still in school.

He smiled and touched his bald head a little shyly: It turns out that I look so young. But I've been out of the monastery for a few years, and I'm a monk by profession.

Then, as I expected, after taking the initiative to introduce his identity, he immediately handed me a card printed with a Buddha statue, and said to me shyly and directly: Since meeting is fate. When you go out, there is a peace charm to keep you safe all the way, do you want to ask for one?

How much? I asked him quietly.

He smiled shyly again: "Whatever it is."

At that time, I naturally wouldn't pay for any peace charms from a 'little liar'.

However, when a carload of people heard that there were monks, there would still be people who were willing to be fooled.

The person who paid 200 yuan to ask for the amulet from Xuan Yin was a man in his fifties, very thin, with a very yellow face, and an ordinary but very stylish appearance. To paraphrase Xuan Yin's words, he has a particularly strong rich temperament, so he knows at a glance that he is a particularly rich person.

The rich man's wealth is not reflected in the way he dresses, but the black card that was exposed outside the mezzanine when he withdrew the money is enough to tell it all.

So I wondered why such a rich man, like a poor reporter like me, would get on such a long-distance bus to a ravine and go to a small place that was inconspicuous and almost unnoticed.

It wasn't until he got off the bus that the rich man couldn't hold back and revealed the secret of his journey to us.

The rich man's name is Lu Youkun. When he got out of the car, he was already familiar with Hyun Yin.

I can't say why, a rich and old man would believe so much that such a young and fashionable boy is really a monk. But as far as I know, many wealthy people have a very devout belief in religion, and some of them are almost to the point of simplicity. So as soon as I talked about Buddhism with Xuanyin, the two of us went on endlessly, and I fell asleep for more than an hour halfway, until I reached the destination, and I was woken up by the two of them together.

So when I learned that the three of us were all going to the same destination, we naturally went together.

And our final destination is this long-distance bus that takes us to the terminal station, and then walks two or three kilometers, a tourist attraction called Jinhua Village.

Two or three kilometers is not a long road, but it is a bit difficult for Lu Youkun, because he is not in good health, so he has to rest for a while every time he walks about five or six hundred meters, and he can't hire any transportation around, so he can only drag his suitcase to do his best.

It's all weak like this, why do you want to come out and travel alone?

Later, while walking and chatting, I learned that the old man was not only in poor health, but also had a terminal illness.

Pancreatic cancer is advanced and has spread, so no amount of money will help. So one day, when he was tortured by chemotherapy as usual, and then stared hopelessly at the monotonous ceiling of the special ward, he suddenly thought that it would be better to simply go out for a walk, maybe he had to happen to be lucky, and maybe he could find a way to live.

I don't think even if you are lucky, it will not be possible.

But if you see through it or not, as long as you are happy in your heart, it doesn't matter what people think.

However, I was afraid that the 'monk' would smell a business opportunity, so he lost no time in instilling something in this desperate old man. For example, a small amulet sometimes makes people believe that it is a life-saving thing, and they are willing to spend dozens or even hundreds of times the cost price for it, and happily buy it. If this is a life-saving statement, then what is it?

Just as I was thinking like this, Xuan Yin really lived up to my worries, and when he saw Lu Youkun standing still to rest again, he smiled and asked him: "The reason why the old man chose Jinhua Village is probably related to the legend that has always existed in that village, right?"

Lu Youkun was stunned when he heard this, then hesitated, and nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, that's right, I heard that Jinhua Village has a miracle medicine that cures all diseases." 166 Reading Network
