Chapter 9 Keeping Merit, Strange Things Resting on the Earth

At four o'clock in the afternoon, behind the Yuwang Pavilion landscape site.

After Wu Ya made contact with the local police who came here, she ran towards the rural hotel in the scenic area as fast as she could.

Ten minutes ago, after the fake monk explained the purpose of her and the captain's visit, the captain didn't show any abnormality, but chatted with the other party very calmly.

In the middle of the chat, the fake monk invited them to sit at the winery in front of them. The captain readily agreed, so he asked Wu Ya to stay and continue to do what he had just done, and he followed the fake monk alone.

Wu Ya was very unsure, so after the arrival of Lao Yu, whom she had just contacted, she hurriedly ran to find the captain.

Entering the hall of the winery, Wu Ya casually asked the waiter, she thought that normal people would definitely pay more attention to a monk. The result of the question was indeed as she thought, the waiter knew that the fake monk, but what Wu Ya didn't expect was that the road led by the waiter turned out to lead to the manager's office.

That fake monk turned out to be the owner of this hotel!

Knowing the identity of the other party, Wu Ya was much more relieved, at least the captain was unlikely to be killed by the fake monk.

Quickly came to the door of the manager's office on the second floor, and heard a hearty laugh from inside through the door, and when Wu Ya knocked on the door and entered, she saw the captain and the fake monk sitting opposite each other, chatting very speculatively.

The captain waved his hand to signal Wu Ya to sit beside him, and then turned his head to introduce the two of them: "Master Lin, this is Wu Ya, my girlfriend below." Xiaoya, this master's surname is Lin. Hong Kong people, after becoming a monk in Wutai Mountain, are now called Yiyi. Over the years, Master Lin has developed in the mainland, and he can be regarded as a successful investment entrepreneur, a rich man!"

"Amitabha, the benefactor praises falsely, whether he succeeds or not, only depends on the amount of merit, and has nothing to do with those things outside the body. ”

"Haha, Master Lin is detached. We laymen can't compare. In our eyes, having money is success. By the way, to put it mildly, Master Lin flew to the mainland from Hong Kong just yesterday, and we met today. It's really fate. ”

"There's a lot going on in the world. It's all fate. ”

"Hmm. The master is right. The captain complimented, then changed the subject and said, "Hey, Master Lin." Just now, we said that you started to invest in the mainland more than ten years ago, I don't know when this hotel came to your name?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk came here for the first time five years ago, when this place was still a barren place, and there was nothing but the dirt slope behind. This hotel was actually built after the poor monk invested in it. In fact, not only this hotel, but even the front Yuwang Hall was also funded by poor monks. ”

"Oh, so the master invested a lot of money. But I feel that investing in such a remote place will not recoup the cost at all. The master is also a businessman, how can he make such a money-losing business?"

"Alas, it's not a secret, the poor monk was also a profiteer in his early years, until an incident happened later, which made the poor monk suddenly discover that money is something outside his body. Later, after being ordered by the master, the poor monk escaped into the empty door, and since then he has only sought merit and not wealth. ”

"Really, what happened, that the master's consciousness was raised so much at once?"

"Well, don't mention it. ”

Master Lin shook his head and twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, looking sad.

Seeing this, the captain knew that it was not appropriate to ask any more questions on this question, so he changed the topic again and said: "Master, when it comes to merit, I also want to ask, what kind of merit is your merit to repair the palace of King Yu in this barren land of the past? If you want to accumulate good karma, there are not a few good men and women here all year round. No matter how you look at it, it seems to have merit but no virtue. ”

"Amitabha, the donor's vision is broad, and he really breaks through the mystery. It is true that repairing temples and temples here will not get any merit. ”

"What does it mean to make merit?"

"Open, that is, to open the door of convenience, the poor monk has opened the door, but there is no chance to be convenient with others. So, take a back seat and ask for merit here. ”

"What is merit?"

"Keep, that is, stick to the indissoluble bond. The poor monk has an indissoluble fate here, so he will repair the ruins of this Yuwang Pavilion regardless of the cost. ”

After Master Lin said this, he folded his hands together and reverently performed a Buddhist salute in the direction of the dirt slope behind him.

The captain quietly looked at the scene in front of him, and waited until Master Lin sat up straight again, and then asked softly: "Master, looking at your actions just now, you should attach great importance to this fate, I don't know if I can talk about it next, I'm really curious." ”

"Amitabha, forgive me, the so-called fate is speechless, words are unspoken, and some things cannot be said explicitly. But since I have a relationship with the two benefactors, let's tell them a story. ”

"Master, please speak. ”

"The story of Dayu's water control has been passed down through the ages, and the two must know. But Yu's father, Kun Zhishui, may not know much about it.

Legend has it that during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Yellow River flooded and flooded, and by the time Emperor Yao was in charge of the world, the floods had developed to the point where people could not live normally.

Therefore, Emperor Yao inherited the throne and the first task he faced was to control the water. Emperor Yao asked his subordinates who could control the water, and everyone recommended Kun. According to the history books, Emperor Yao did not trust Kun and thought that he could not take on this important task, but the ministers tried their best to promote Kun. This is a very contradictory thing, and later generations now go back and read it slowly, maybe Kun's popularity was not very good at that time, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

It stands to reason that Emperor Yao is an ancient Ming monarch, who knows people and is good at his duties, and knows that Kun is not available, so he should not be used to control the water. Even if the ministers strongly recommended it, and said that they might as well give it a try, Emperor Yao would definitely not gamble with the lives of the people.

But later, Emperor Yao still let Kun go to control the water, why is this? All because of Kun's own self-recommendation, he explained to Emperor Yao that he had a strange thing in his hand to control the water.

This strange thing is called 'Xi Soil', and it is said that it is a treasure in the hands of the Yellow Emperor, a kind of soil that can grow on its own and never wear out. The use of soil to control floods is precisely a portrayal of the continuous construction of dikes to stop floods in the future. At the same time, it also implies the truth of the invisible soil and water.

Therefore, Emperor Yao ordered Kun to control the water, and he did not believe in the person of Kun, but the treasure of 'Xiyang'.

But in the end, Kun still failed to control the water, and was finally exiled to Yushan by Emperor Shun and died.

The cangs are dead, and the whereabouts of the soil are unknown.

It was also at this time that Yu began to control the water, and the first stop of Yu's water control was the Yuwang Pavilion behind you and me.

This site has stood for thousands of years, washed away by several floods, but has not lost a single bit, maybe the two of you think about why?" (to be continued......
