The party's patriotism is just a joke, but Liu Yan really went to the temple to seek the truth, he went to the Ruohua Temple in the northern suburbs of the near river, a Zen temple with strong incense, from the mountain gate to the beginning of the tourists, to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, it is shoulder to shoulder, the huge incense burner is full of high incense, and the sound of monks chanting the scriptures lingers in the ears.

There is a special place in the temple to ask for fortune telling and blessings, Liu Yan lined up for a long time, and finally it was his turn, but he did not draw lots, but wanted to ask about reincarnation.

The fat monk looked at him and said expressionlessly: "All worlds are always born and destroyed, there are before and after, there is no before and after, the beginning and end of gathering and dispersing, the thoughts and thoughts are continuous, the cycle goes back and forth, and all kinds of trade-offs are reincarnation." ”

"Master, I want to get a more precise and specific explanation, I know a person, I suspect that she used to be my wife in her previous life......" Liu Yan said with great difficulty, for fear that the great monk would not understand, but the great monk's expression did not change, just recruited a small novice and asked him to take Liu Yan straight to another place.

Xiao Shami led Liu Yan straight into a cross-courtyard with a sign of "Tourists do not enter", this is the monk's office area, but it is not deserted, the meditation room is full of people, and they are all decent people who are dressed and dressed.

"Donor, to listen to the Master of the Starry Sky is to sign on this." The little novice brought a merit book, which was full of names and the amount of almsgiving, at least 3,000 yuan, and tens of thousands more.

"I didn't bring that much money." Liu Yan touched his body directly, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay to swipe your card." Xiao Shami took out the POS machine.

"Forget it, I'd better go." Liu Yanzhi felt that he had come to the wrong place, and fled in the disdainful eyes of the little novice.

He didn't go back the way he came, but walked up the stairs and walked around the office area, the Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi on the parking lot was probably the car of the abbots, and the puzzling thing was that there was a brightly colored Beetle, I don't know if it was the nun's or the monk's family.

Go up further, is the former site of Ruohua Temple, the gate here is closed, not open to visitors, Ruohua Temple is a temple built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, burned down several times, rebuilt several times, the last reconstruction was in 2010, those splendid halls outside are newly built, and here is a Qing Dynasty building with a history of three hundred years.

Liu Yan went straight into the wall, the old site of the Zen room is old, the bluestone slabs on the ground are engraved with traces of vicissitudes, but it is a pity that such a simple and elegant place, but there is a group of monks full of copper smell, Liu Yanzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was also stupid, and actually came to the temple to seek the truth.

"The donor is so good." Suddenly, someone accosted, Liu Yan turned his head to see that it was a young man wearing linen clothes with a flat head, with big ears and a solemn appearance, thinking that he was a monk here, so he explained: "I'll take a look and leave." ”

The man said: "If you come, you will be safe, just look at it, I also came in over the wall." ”

"You're not a monk?"

"Actually, I'm a Rinpoche." The man stretched out his hand, "Just kidding, my surname is Hu, Hu Qingsong, I used to be a monk, but now I am still a layman, traveling all over the world, looking for the mystery of the universe, this can be regarded as a kind of practice." ”

"Why is it still vulgar?" Liu Yan smiled and asked, "Isn't it more suitable for cultivation in the temple?" ”

Hu Qingsong replied: "Then do you think the monks in this temple are practicing?" ”

Liu Yanzhi shook his head.

"There is a Buddha in the heart, where is not practice." Hu Qingsong smiled freely.

Liu Yanzhi shook hands with him, and the two traveled together, chatting and chatting about the issue of reincarnation.

"If there is no cause, all sufferings will be extinguished, and if the causes and conditions of sentient beings will be continuous, then all the Dharma will be born, and if you come and see that all sentient beings have been born in succession, you will say, there is life and death." Hu Qingsong said, "This is what is said in the "Zhonga Han Sutra", this scripture is mainly about the reincarnation of the newspaper industry, if you want to study this aspect, I suggest you read this scripture." ”

"So, do you believe in reincarnation?" Liu Yan said straight.

Hu Qingsong nodded: "Buddhism is boundless, universal sentient beings, all sentient beings in the world have karmic retribution for creating good and bad karma, and this karmic retribution has six places, which are called the six realms." The six realms are divided by the Buddha according to the size of the blessings received by the karmic body. They are: Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, Humane Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Hell Dao, ......"

"Excuse me, excuse me." Liu Yan's head was dizzy when he heard this, and he had to interject, "What kind of asura, hungry ghost, let's not talk about it for the time being, since you are a cultivator, do you know someone who can be psychic?" ”

"Psychic? You mean the kind that can see the soul? Hu Qingsong thoughtfully, "There are many such people, most of them are fake, and some are true, usually after a serious illness they have mastered a special ability, and science cannot explain it, I think our current scientific level is not enough to explain many supernatural phenomena, so we have to classify it as superstition and explain it with religion, in fact, religion is also an ignorant science, just like the ancient people found that sulfur saltpeter charcoal can synthesize gunpowder, but only mastered, and can not fully understand the molecular formula of these constituent materials, Can we explain the reincarnation of the newspaper industry mentioned in Buddhism with science? ”

Liu Yanzhi was very interested: "Let's talk about it, I'll listen to it." ”

Hu Qingsong said: "People who believe in Buddhism pay attention to accumulating virtue and doing good, and they will get good rewards in the future, but there are hundreds of millions of believers, who will record the data of accumulating virtue and doing good?" Buddha or Bodhisattva? It's almost impossible. ”

Liu Yan nodded straightly.

Hu Qingsong continued to talk eloquently: "This problem was unsolvable in ancient times, but with the progress of science, it seems that it can be realized slowly, just like the prophetic novel "1984" wrote, in the future there will be a big brother watching you all the time, through scientific and technological means, ubiquitous surveillance cameras, personal terminals worn on people, and the development of increasingly developed supercomputers, networks and artificial intelligence make it possible to store and calculate massive data, The bits and pieces of people's daily life are recorded and analyzed, and everyone is judged, there are many science fiction movies in the United States that have depicted such a future, we might as well extend it again, human beings have gained eternal life, the body is old and destroyed, but the consciousness is eternal, and the ruler will assign you to be reincarnated as a human or an animal in the next life according to your performance in this life. ”

Liu Yan listened to it with a creepy face.

Hu Qingsong smiled: "Of course, there is still a big gap between what I said and the karma cause and effect mentioned in Buddhism, in terms of depth, breadth, completeness, and accuracy, so I just want you to understand some concepts of Buddhism in a scientific way." ”

Liu Yanzhi said: "I understand a little, reincarnation is to delete the file and replay." ”

Hu Qingsong nodded: "Almost, I think you are entangled in this problem, probably there was some kind of inconvenient adventure, let me introduce you to a person, this person is quite famous in Beijing, many ministerial-level leaders have asked him for fortune telling, you can try." ”

"Please." Liu Yanzhi took out his mobile phone and prepared to record.

"This person's surname is Hu, nicknamed Hu Banxian, it is said that he is really a half-immortal, the dragon is not visible, it is not easy to find him, he opened a small shop outside the Lama Temple in Beijing, I will give you the address."

Liu Yanzhi suddenly thought that the last time he traveled to 1900, he had met a blind man who touched his head and told fortunes, it seems that his surname is also Hu, Mo Fei has some kind of mysterious relationship with Hu Banxian, thinking about it and thinking that it is impossible, Hu Blind has been dead for a hundred years, even if there is a relationship, he is also his descendant.

……

At the same time, Zhen Yue drove 400 kilometers to the countryside of Nantai County, accompanied by her grandmother and the nanny at home, nominally an old lady came to seek medical advice, but in fact Zhen Yue wanted to find out some things, she is a college student, a party member, and an outright atheist, but recently there has been a crisis in her faith, and she is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and she wants to find answers in the folk gods.

It was the mother and daughter of the commander of the armed police corps, and the Nantai County Armed Police Brigade didn't know where to get the news, so they called Zhen Yue, saying that the place was remote and difficult for outsiders to find, and they could help.

Respectful is better than obeying, Zhen Yue accepted their kindness, at the door of the Jinfan Hotel in the county seat, a Mitsubishi off-road vehicle with an armed police license plate and Zhen Yue's Land Rover rendezvous, two people got down from the car, both wearing civilian clothes, the younger should be the driver, and the older one introduced himself as an instructor of the armed police brigade, surnamed Zhang.

The armed police off-road vehicle opened the road in front, Instructor Zhang got into Zhen Yue's car, he is a very funny and talkative person, speaking of the goddess in the countryside of Kushuijing, everyone in Nantai knows everyone, the goddess is more than fifty years old, originally an ordinary peasant woman, a few years ago she had a serious illness, because she couldn't make up the medical expenses, she was pulled home and waited for death, but she miraculously recovered, and after recovery, he changed into a person, he could open the eyes of the sky, cure all diseases, one pass ten, ten pass hundred, and now even the rich people from other provinces are admired.

Instructor Zhang also told a true story: "There is a business boss in Nantai who died of a sudden illness, and the family took his passbook to the bank to withdraw money, because he didn't know the password, the bank refused to cash it, and he had no choice but to ask the goddess to go out. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Such a god, aren't there many people looking for her, you have to make an appointment." ”

Instructor Zhang nodded, took out the cigarette case, and suddenly realized that it was in someone else's car, smiled awkwardly and stuffed the cigarette case back, and said: "The goddess usually doesn't see guests, because she is really busy, and only the guests who have a lot of background, the goddess will receive them in person." ”

"What is a guest with a purpose?" Zhen Yue asked.

"Introduced by the county party committee and county government, arranged by the county's public procuratorate and law, this is the first echelon, followed by the rich and rich, as for those who generally come to seek medical advice, they spent a few hundred yuan to buy a talisman drawn by the goddess herself, and went home to boil water and drink, I heard that the effect is not bad."

Zhen Yue smiled bitterly, she didn't believe that Fu Shui could cure diseases, and eighty percent of them were due to psychological reasons.

Instructor Zhang lowered the window, sniffed the air, and said, "It's almost there." ”

There was a smell of Qingming Festival in the air.
