After Mr. Wu's bar business is resolved, there are still three thorny problems. One is a hot pot restaurant, the other is a café, and the most important thing is how to rectify these arrogant soldiers inside.

Yang Shu didn't think through the previous thought of wanting to be alone for a while, and did not rush back to the base, but unconsciously paced towards the depths of the mountain village.

A slapping sound of sweeping the floor wafted into the poplar's ears, and then a thin figure came into view: an old man, hunched on his back, holding a large broom in his rough hands, kept sweeping the temple courtyard. Dressed in old dusty clothes, he looked old, but there was not a trace of wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were clear, except for his slightly gray hair and weather-beaten face.

In November, the beach is getting cooler, the sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and the leaves are always falling in all directions, and if a gust of wind blows, it circles on the ground and then blows everywhere. This tired the old man, sweep and sweep, this side has just been swept clean, and the fallen leaves over there continue to float down.

Yang Shu thought to himself: If it were me, I would have just scanned it once and it would be over immediately. However, the old man walked leisurely over and over again, without showing the slightest impatience.

Yang Shu has been studying the classics of the sages since he was a child, and now he has something in his heart, and he subconsciously walked into the temple when he saw it. The temple was empty, and there were no monks except for the old man who was sweeping the floor. The Buddha statue is a little broken, and several large pillars at the temple gate are also crumbling, and some new wooden frames are fixed, presumably by the old man in front of him. It can be seen that the incense here is not prosperous, and few villagers come here to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.

Although Yang Shu can also recite some Buddhist scriptures, he has always had a habit of not kneeling to God or Buddha. Just put on the pillar of incense, bow and pray. Then he walked around and sat down at a bookcase. I turned two pages of the scriptures, but I couldn't read them, and I fell into deep thought, but I couldn't figure it out, so I turned two more pages of the book, and so on......

The old man looked at the poplar tree in a trance, put down the broom in his hand and walked over. The footsteps were very light, and did not disturb the poplar's painstaking thoughts in the slightest.

It was just that the poplar's ears were extremely good, and he smiled at the old man and greeted: "Hello old man." ”

"What is the little brother asking for?" The old man replied with a smile, his voice very gentle.

"Ask for nothing. Take a walk! Poplar laughed.

"If you can walk around and get here, it's the little brother who has a Buddha fate." The old man said.

"Since there is fate, then tomorrow I will call someone to repair the Buddha statue." Poplar suddenly had a good thought.

"The Buddha statue is good there, you don't need to repair it, it's you who needs to repair it." The old man said meaningfully.

Yang Shu was stunned, and he didn't understand that it was the old man who ignited himself. After pondering for a moment, he folded his hands and said, "Thank you, Shifu!" ”

After thinking about it, I still hope to make some good karma: "Although the Buddha is at ease in his heart, the Buddha statue has not been repaired for a long time, and he always has to help." ”

"Don't thank me. The little brother has his own wisdom roots, and he has lived by himself. As for the Buddha statue, if it is not cultivated, why be persistent. The old man said flatly.

Although the Buddhist hall is still there, there are not many people who can really protect the temple to promote the Dharma and benefit people.

Yang Shu felt the old man's kindness and really wanted to restore this ashram: "After the Buddha statue is renovated, I want to make the temple incense burning." ”

The old man said flatly: "The little brother is kind-hearted, and there will be good retribution in the future." It's just that the incense here is just a matter of fate, so you don't have to force it. ”

Since Yang Shu already wants to do this, there is a reason not to persevere: "That's not good." This also needs to be guided, didn't the Buddha also lecture everywhere and recruit disciples! ”

The old man said, "The Buddha has his great wisdom, and I am just a sweeper." ”

"Cultivating Buddha statues and promoting incense must be done. You can't cut off my good thoughts and good karma. This is also considered to be the creation of negative karma. Yang Shu blocked the words from the old man's mouth with a word of communication.

The old man waved his hand: "That's it, I'm afraid that this place will start to be unclean." ”

Poplar smiled and did not speak.

"Since you insist on doing so, follow me to the Buddha hall and give you something." After the old man finished speaking, he took care of himself and led the way.

Poplar then followed.

After entering, the old man took out something that made him squirt blood, and it turned out to be the full-length mirror he sold at the beginning.

Yang Shujiao smiled and said, "Where did Shi Fu get the mirror?" So big. I'm afraid it can be photographed inside and out. ”

The old man said, "I once swept the floor. I suddenly felt that I could take pictures inside and out, and I picked it all up.

"We used to sell this mirror. Now that I'm connected to it, I'm really connected to it. Poplar laughed.

In the face of Yang Shu's ridicule, the old man still said lightly: "If you sell mirrors, you will naturally look in the mirror often." What can be gleaned from this? ”

"Oh?" Poplar said with interest, "I wonder what else this mirror can show?" ”

"Whatever you put in front of the mirror, will it be reflected?" The old man said

"Of course!" Poplar nodded.

"Is there any aftermath left in the mirror after the thing is removed?" The old man said.

"No, it won't." Poplar answered.

The old man asked, "What do you understand?" ”

Yang Shu was already familiar with the classics, and seemed to understand a little, and said: "This is called the thing that should come, and the past will not be left?" ”

The old man said: "The little brother really has a Buddha fate and a wisdom root, and it is rare for young people in the world to be familiar with the Buddhist classics." ”

Speaking of the best thing about poplar, he felt that the classics he had memorized at the beginning were now finally recognized, and he suddenly felt arrogant, but his face did not show it at all. On the surface, he replied modestly: "When I was a child, I was often forced to recite by my father, and it was very shallow. ”

As if he couldn't see or hear, the old man continued: "These things in life should be done when they come, and they should be forgotten when they are over. ”

Poplar nodded.

The old man continued, "I only see this, is there anything else?" ”

"And? Didn't think about it. Poplar replied in confusion.

The old man asked, "For example, if the sages and saints or emperors will look in the mirror, do you think that the mirror will be more careful because of happiness?" ”

"No, it won't." Poplar replied.

"If a beggar or an outcast comes to look in the mirror, will the mirror cope with it out of disgust?"

"No, it won't." Poplar replied.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he flirted again: "Oh. I understand. This is called not increasing in the holy, and not decreasing in the all. It is also called to dwell with saints without joy, and with ordinary people without worrying. ”

The old man continued, "When you are looking in the mirror, will the mirror look at you and miss others at the same time?" ”

Yang Shu smiled: "This is called grasping the moment and making a heart." ”

"When a mirror reflects a red object, does it itself become red? Does the green itself become green when it is reflected? The old man continued.

"No, it won't." Poplar replied.

"Although the mirror itself does not change color, it can still be red and green, right?" The old man said.

Yang Shu will know: "This is called the same fate, the same fate." ”

"The mirror reflects people, objects, dogs, water, and fire, but the essence of the glass itself remains the same, which is called the body does not move and uses the constant appearance, and the body does not change. Do you understand? The old man said lightly.

"I don't understand!" Yang Shu felt for a moment, and finally didn't dare to show off anymore.

"If you don't understand, that's right! You understood everything before, but now the words are not clear, and you have a Buddha fate. The old man said.

"If you don't understand, you don't understand!" Poplar was a little embarrassed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Just now I saw you flipping through the book without reading, pondering and often opening and closing. This mirror is due to you, hoping to see a cause and effect today. The old man said.

"Thank you, Shifu! Taught today. But cause and effect are just beginning. Since he said that he wants to repair Buddha statues and prosper incense, he will not lose his words. Isn't that a shammy? Poplar said firmly.

"Amitabha, good, good!" The old man saw that the poplar tree insisted on this, but he just said the Buddha's name, and then stopped speaking.

"Amitabha!" The poplar tree understood, and the Taoist Buddha said goodbye.

Yang Shu went back with a full-length mirror in his arms, he sold it at the beginning, but it turned out to be sent back to himself, and the scene was extremely funny. Along the way, I thought back to the words with the old man, felt a little touched, and said to myself: I've been in too much of a hurry recently. The old man could see his state of mind at this time from flipping through the book, and he was inevitably undetermined.

Indeed, Buddha statues do not need to be cultivated, but they should be cultivated. No one can repair with that group of arrogant soldiers, and they are the ones who can cultivate. It seems that this full-length mirror should really be given by one person.

……

As soon as I returned to the base, a group of proud soldiers waited there for a long time, and almost more than 30 veterans were there. Looking at the poplar's outfit, he was a little puzzled.

"Look at what you see, take it back and stand at the gate, so that you can take good care of it and reflect on it." Yang Shu glanced at everyone and said sharply.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Boss Tree, I'm sorry for yesterday's incident." Yesterday the perpetrator said apologetically.

"Go and tell Xiao Xiao that I'm sorry not for me, but for her." Poplar looked unhappy.

"I've already told her." said the perpetrator.

"Don't take it as an example!" Yang Shu replied lightly. Then he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Since everyone is here, today we will talk about this mirror." ”

"What do you have to say about mirrors?" The panther asked.

"At the beginning, there was an emperor who led a group of brothers to fight the world. At the beginning, the brothers were very united, no matter how big the difficulties and setbacks were, they survived one by one, and they were quite heart-to-heart. After finally winning the world, but all these brothers were killed by the emperor, do you know why? ”

"Meritorious Boss!" The panther laughed.

Poplar snorted: "The master of a fart." As long as the emperor is still around, how dare these brothers come nonsense. But why do you still have to kill? Eight words, arrogant soldiers, troubles and chaos.

Think about it, their words and deeds affect the behavior of others. Others are under the banner of these heroes, and they are almost the objects of imitation by rising stars. After winning the world, these brothers are self-righteous, free and loose, and have no king's law, do you think they should be killed? ”

"Yes!" The panther replied.

"But there is another emperor who has hardly killed a brother, and do you know why?" Poplar asked and answered: "Be cautious!" Be humble, low-key, and always keep your original intention. ”

"We've been a little presumptuous during this time." The perpetrator muttered. Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads slightly.

"What does it matter. When the emperor fought the world, he also had such an experience. After getting the throat land first, and almost half of the country, he only knew that he was gambling with girls, and the brothers below also went to the mansion to burn and loot, and finally almost died.

Fortunately, he was stopped by a military advisor in a hurry, and he immediately realized that he was wrong and made amends. But because of this, this brother was also forced out of the gate, and later he tried his courage and made a comeback to win the world.

Compared to them, our little thing is nothing, it is too far and too far away, at least it is not rotten, burning, killing and looting. Poplar laughed.

"It's not too late for us to do it all over again." The perpetrator is a color road.

Yang Shu also became serious: "We have only just gained a foothold here, not to mention that we have not fully established ourselves, and we are still crumbling." It's a long way from what we dreamed of, and there's nothing to show off. Have you forgotten the dream you made when you were in Lao Cai? Have you forgotten the setbacks and hardships you faced when you were the first three associations? Do you want to make a little money and live your life like this? We were poor, we couldn't afford a sports car, we couldn't afford a cruise ship, we couldn't afford a mansion. What qualifies to show off? What qualifies to be high-profile?

If you really had a fight with Mr. Wu's people that day, why should we play with others? How old are we? If you want money, you don't have money, you want people. What do you think the fight is about? Is it guts? Is it righteous anger?

Damn, it's money. If you don't have money, you can't afford to run away if something happens. ”

Everyone nodded.

Yang Shu Zhengse said: "Today, we swear by the mirror, and often look at our own heart, whether we have forgotten our original intention, whether we are restless, and whether we are carried away." Always reflect on yourself and remind yourself all the time. ”

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Poplar instigated: "Good. We named it 'The Demon Mirror'. Take out those demons and monsters in your heart and clean them up. Let's start again together, just like the emperor at the beginning, and make a comeback. Take down the private land crazy this territory, and get back all the dignity that was lost at the beginning. Tell others that private madness is our territory, and you don't want any of you to come here to spread wild. It doesn't matter if you are Mr. Wu or Mr. Li, this director or that director. Here, it's all up to the guys! "With the limbs, it's very infectious.

Everyone is a strong soldier and a reasonable person, otherwise they wouldn't have been working as a crazy player until now, and they are still doing so well.

Through the previous foreshadowing and spiritual combing, the heart that had been sinking for a long time was suddenly stirred, and almost everyone echoed: "Lao Tzu has the final say!" ”

Poplar continued: "Then each of them will make a military order for this month's plan. Give it to me before eating in the afternoon, and then eat together. ”

"Hey, hey! Dine? Let's stop drinking. The panther smirked.

"Drink. How can you not drink it! It's us who drink, and it's good not to be drunk by wine. After Yang Shu saw that everyone's mood had adjusted, his mood was much better.

"Drink!" The crowd was a little excited.

Finally, the hearts of Yang Shu and these arrogant soldiers who were occupied by demons and monsters were taken back by this demon mirror.
