Chapter 8 It is better to seek others than to seek oneself, and it is better to seek oneself than to seek oneself
"People come here to pray to God during the day, and ghosts come here at night to seek relief, and this is the difference between our temple and other temples. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Looking at the scene in front of her, Meng Xue muttered to herself: "It feels like a dream." ”
"Hey, the world is a big dream, life is cool several times, maybe we have been living in a dream. ”
At this time, countless unjust ghosts have come to the front of the main hall, some of them killed themselves with scissors, some knelt on the ground and slapped themselves, and some lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, all like walking corpses, their eyes were dull, and they had no spirituality at all.
Seeing the tragic situation of these ghosts, Meng Xue no longer had the previous expectations and curiosity, she really couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she could only tilt her head sideways and try to look to the side.
"Master Ma, you said that these ghosts came here to ask for crossing, so who will cross them?" Chu Nan asked.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, and our Ma family also does these things for my Buddha. ”
"You?"
"To be precise, it's our Ma family, but it's my turn to be here this year. As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Xue, who didn't look over, "What, I can't bear it?"
"They're miserable. ”
"Miserable?" Ma Tianyi sneered and walked in front of the ghost who kept killing himself with scissors, "Look at this ghost, drug trafficking caused hundreds of people to die during his lifetime, and he also made fake drugs to harm others, and he should never be reborn after death, but I am merciful and willing to give him another chance to be reincarnated, but he said that he will have to stay here for thirty years before he can go to the shadow to suffer sin, and he will either be a pig or a dog in the next life."
Then, Ma Tianyi walked up to the ghost who was kneeling on the ground and slapped himself vigorously.
"What did this guy do?"
"Beat his parents, abandon his wife, and after he died, he had to slap himself in front of the censer 36,000 times before he could go to Hades, and as long as one slap did not sound, he had to start all over again. ”
Hearing this, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel sad for him, why bother in the first place when he knew this!
At this time, Meng Xue had completely closed her eyes, but the loud slap still made her frown, hey, in the end, this girl is too kind. In Chu Nan's opinion, even his parents dare to beat him, and he deserves this retribution!
In order to take care of Meng Xue's emotions, Chu Nan had no choice but to ask, "Is there no one here who can be forgiven?"
"Yes, of course. So saying, he led the two to the side of the temple, where there was a weeping woman with a disheveled hair, and a rag in her hand, which was constantly wiping the steps with her own tears.
"But whoever is in his life and destroys other people's families, after death, he will come to this temple and wipe the steps, and when he can return to the human figure, when he will atone for his sins, he will be reborn as a human being, but he will definitely suffer in the next life. ”
"Ah, how is that? Hasn't she already atoned for her sins, why should she suffer?"
Ma Tianyi glanced at the girl and shook his head.
"This is already a great gift, and the Buddhist scriptures have clouds: for example, the earth is all into the sea, there is a blind turtle, the life is immeasurable, a hundred years out of its head, there is driftwood in the sea, there is a hole, drifting waves, with the wind things. And the human body is rare, like a blind turtle, worth a driftwood hole.
Therefore, it is best to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, otherwise once you do evil, you will lose your human body, and once you lose your human body, you may never recover, and it is impossible to reincarnate as a human being in the future. ”
Here, the author also wants to advise those who are trying to commit suicide after a little setback at a young age, that reincarnation as an adult is really your creation. If you give up your life so casually, not to mention that your parents' nurturing grace has not been repaid, let's just say that you will be severely sentenced by the king of Hades when you go to the underworld, especially those who commit suicide because of a little fart, it is estimated that you will never be reborn, because you are blaspheming the grace of heaven.
So whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or Christianity, almost all religions prohibit suicide because the karma of suicide is too heavy, even heavier than killing someone.
Just when Chu Nan and Meng Xue were immersed in these words, Ma Tianyi suddenly shouted at the mascot: "Eryou, are you going to the wind or the next road today?"
"Go down!"
"Okay, then lead the scalper. ”
Meng Xue finally saw it, and she was not as repulsed as she was just now.
"But where did you get the scalper?"
At this moment, I only heard a sound of "moo~" at the door of the temple, and it turned out that Ma Dayou, who was playing mahjong, came back, followed by an old scalper.
"Yo he, I came back on time today. ”
"That is, can I not know what is going on in this temple?" said him, leading the scalper to the three of them.
Ma Tianyi stroked the head of the ox, and muttered in his mouth: "Ox and ox, you are obedient, it is your job to drink dirty water from the spirit, pull the head of the spirit to face west, and go all the way down to the other side." ”
After speaking, he shouted to the group of wandering spirits and wild ghosts: "If you can leave tonight, come over to me." As soon as he finished speaking, four or five ghosts slowly moved over.
Ma Tianyi didn't look at them either, but just admonished: "Before leaving, I will send you a word, all the way back to Ximo, and if you lose the cow, you can't go to the underworld, do you understand?"
The ghosts were stripped of their spirituality and simply nodded mechanically.
"Alright, the time is up, let's go!"
With Ma Tianyi's shout, the visions in front of him all disappeared, the temple was still the temple, the oil lamp was still the oil lamp, but the old cow in front of him had become a paper scalper, everything was like a dream.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Didn't I say that you were in a dream. ”
Chu Nan knew that Ma Tianyi was fooling the little girl by saying this, and Chu Nan could see that there were still those ghosts in the courtyard, no, to be precise, projections, and it took spiritual power to see clearly. Because those ghosts are in a space parallel to the yang and between the yin and yang worlds, this should be the space that this temple has specially opened up for those rolling ghosts.
Look at the paper ox, which already has four or five souls attached to it that can go to the underworld.
Ma Tianyi took out a windproof lighter, snapped it, and lit it, Ma Dayou immediately dodged away from the scalper when he saw this, and shouted in his mouth: "Oh mom, it's going to be ordered again!"
Ma Tianyi didn't care about him, he directly put the lighter up, and at the moment when the flame touched the scalper, there was a bang, and the scalper was instantly swallowed by the flames as if it had been poured gasoline, and within three seconds, the whole scalper turned into nothingness, leaving not even a little paper ash.
"Alright, go into the house and put the lantern back. ”
"Oh. ”
At the moment when Meng Xue turned around, suddenly a drop of water fell from the sky and fell directly on the wick of the ever-bright lamp, and the ever-bright lamp went out immediately.
Everyone froze for a while, and when they looked up again, it was the water ghost in the afternoon!
"He's my !!" let out a long howl, and the water ghost immediately pounced.
It turned out that Meng Xue pointed to the water ghost in the afternoon, and he was worried about her, this is to find her as a stand-in!
Chu Nan's eyes were quick, and he pulled Meng Xue behind him, and the water ghost pounced. Ma Tianyi also reacted, and immediately grabbed the water ghost and pressed him to the ground.
"What the fuck are you going to go?"
"If I don't go, I'm a wanderer, if I don't go, I'm a ghost, why should I go!Why me? Why me? Why me? I had no money or a house when I was alive, and I was bullied by you when I died, was it wrong for me to find a substitute? I was innocent!!"
In the face of the wailing of this water ghost, Ma Tianyi did not relent. "What! You have a reason to harm other people's lives, and who are those who are harmed by you?"
"I don't care, the underworld is not like this, why can other ghosts harm people, but I can't!"
"Talk back, see if I don't beat you...."
Seeing the spiritual light on Ma Tianyi's hand, the water ghost immediately hugged his head and begged for mercy, "I'm not reconciled, my child is only three years old, and my child is only three years old when I die." ”
The water ghost cried blood, which was really sad for those who heard it, and wept for those who saw it. Ma Tianyi immediately let go of the hand that was clamping the water ghost.
". ”
The water ghost was pardoned, and he turned into a streamer and left.
Ma Tianyi sighed: "Hey, in fact, he has other ways to cross himself." ”
"Self-ferry?"
"Yes, as long as he rescues a person who has fallen into the water, he can be freed, alas. ”
Ma Dayou on the side was also embarrassed:
"If you tell him that it doesn't work, it's called the way of heaven. Just like the ghosts who come here to seek relief, our Buddha just gave them a chance to mend their ways, and it is up to them whether they are willing to pay for their sins. This is called seeking others rather than yourself, and seeking crossing is better than self-ferry. ”
