Chapter XXVII: Superstition
Superstition.
Literally, it can be seen that the key lies in 'confusion', not in 'faith'.
'Ordinary people lose the way they want and do it in vain, which is called a mystery'
Just as a drunk person often does not know that he is drunk, a superstitious person is more troublesome, and basically, except for the one he is superstitious about, he is normal in other aspects, so it will be more difficult to accept the advice of others.
It's just that these superstitious people often don't know that their devastated actions may have killed their dearest relatives.
The next morning, the middle-aged man really pulled a reluctant woman over, and Fang Shi looked at it from a distance, and the middle-aged woman's face was not very good.
There are two levels of the so-called face, one is luck, that is, the appearance of cause and effect, and the person's luck is reflected in the changes formed by the body's essence and spirit; The other is fate, this Fang Shi still can't figure it out, but Fang Shi doesn't believe in the statement of fate, but thinks that 'life' represents character, because character determines fate.
Of course, this is just Fang Shi's superficial understanding, right or wrong, Fang Shi doesn't know who to ask, but it's actually quite interesting to explore it yourself, if you dispel the idea of being in a hurry to make money, in fact, Fang Shi found that he was really a rather indifferent guy!
"Little master, it's early."
"It's not early, do you two want to see luck?"
"I said Lao Li, you are really going back more and more, this and this"
The woman pulled the middle-aged man aside, looked at the ashlar sitting on the broken bricks out of the corner of her eye, and whispered with disdain: "You pulled me here to find a young man?" Would he be a master at his age? Let's go, although we are not short of this hundred and ten dollars, but besides, if this is a liar, it will be too late to regret it at that time. ”
"Liars? But what did he deceive us? ”
"Yes, you know, maybe it's just to trick us into trusting us first, and then"
"Is it right to cheat us out of our money again? However, you gave that master a lot of money, how do you dare to compare it to my hundred and ten dollars? ”
"You! That's different, that's for our family to pray for blessings and disasters. ”
"So pray for blessings and calamities?"
"Isn't it true that our family is not sick or sick and has already prayed for blessings and disasters, I said that why are you so stubborn this dead old man, you are always reluctant to give up that little money, money and foreign things, the body is the most important thing, money fan!"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and it became like this again after a long time, and his superstitious wife accused him of being a money obsesser, not to mention how much money his wife spent because of superstition, just this grievance in his heart made the middle-aged man have the urge to hit the wall, but unfortunately, the head of the family did not have the courage to smoke his wife with a big ear, and he was the one who endured humiliation every time he quarreled.
"I don't think it's any different!" The middle-aged man said unwillingly.
The woman raised her eyebrows, glanced at Fang Shi with disdain, and deliberately raised her voice a little and said, "Of course it's different, the sesame oil money we worship is presented to the Buddha, and it is of course different from you giving money to this charlatan!" Are you pretending to be confused, or have you been fooled by this liar!? ”
Hearing this, I frowned secretly, this old woman is really not inferior, in the end, it is really hard to say whether your money was worshiped in front of the Buddha or into the belly of the monk, it is really no different to say it, the Buddha is rare and your little paper is good!
Fang Shi couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he didn't ask you to help, if he didn't want to see it, he would get out of it as soon as possible, and he would be annoyed to death here.
"I said, if you two have any family conflicts, it's better to go home and solve them, it's not appropriate in this public, besides, I still have to do business here, don't bother me here, okay? Also, this lady, my business is to see luck, to help you come up with some ideas on how to avoid evil, and the income is one hundred and eighty yuan, and if you don't provide other services, you have to use your imagination to go elsewhere. ”
Fang Shi's words made several passers-by who were standing on the side laugh, and the woman was very faceless, and couldn't help but be annoyed.
"Since the little master has said so, and we are here too, how can we not take a look, I want to see the little master's methods."
As she spoke, the slightly obese middle-aged woman sat on the small stool prepared opposite Fang Shi, puffing out a pair of goldfish eyes to look at Fang Shi, and the man was laughing very awkwardly on the side, but there was no apology in his eyes.
Fang Shi grinned: "Okay, you can't help but do door-to-door business, I'll help you see how your luck is today." ”
Fang Shi has actually been looking at this woman for a long time, and he has already had some speculations in his heart, judging from her physiognomy, this woman is really not very good, especially the Fortune Palace, the black gas is lingering, that is a sign of breaking the wealth, and the corners around the mouth are also dim and obscure, here is the main right and wrong, taken together, it is because of the loss of wealth that leads to right and wrong, and then further affects the family relationship.
Now that the woman had already said that she wanted to see her luck, Fang Shi no longer hesitated, and generously shook off her qi technique.
0,-2
This is an interesting value, the short-term luck is 0 points, which means that there will be no disaster trouble, but the long-term potential is -2, which is already the meaning of trouble, so what is the trouble that does not appear outside? Obviously, this is accumulating cause and effect in preparation for a big explosion!
Fang Shi really couldn't help the schadenfreude in his heart, this woman really hated it, and Fang Shi couldn't help himself from this kind of schadenfreude, revealing it was the sneer on the corner of Fang Shi's mouth.
"This lady, your luck has been mediocre in the past few days, neither good nor bad, but it may not be long before you get into a lot of trouble."
"No small trouble?! What a hassle! The middle-aged man asked a little nervously, but Fang Shi always felt that his performance seemed to be slightly exaggerated, and he was a little suspicious of acting, could it be that he thought Fang Shi was bluffing?
"Cut, open your mouth! But it's because I doubt your ability that you say bad things to scare me, and I'm not afraid! I worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva on weekdays, and with the blessing of the Buddha, what big trouble will there be, if you want to deceive people, you are still very early! ”
"This lady, the thing to see luck is to believe it or not, since you don't believe it, then it's fine, but since I have already said it, then the honorarium is also indispensable."
"Hmph, you want a reward for talking nonsense, dream about you!"
"I didn't say that, I have a few more suggestions, if you can listen to it, maybe you can avoid this disaster, of course, it may not be avoided, this lady, do you want to listen?"
"Listen! Why don't you listen? ”
"Give money!"
Fang Shi stretched out his hand and looked at the woman with a smile.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took it up, and laughed a little exaggeratedly: "Haha is funny, I really want to cheat money, don't say it if you don't give money?" You're afraid I'll see through your tricks. ”
"Whatever, if you don't believe it, and you don't want to give money, please turn around and leave, don't hinder my business here, we have no grievances, you don't need to offend me, haven't you heard of blocking people's money like killing your parents?"
Fang Shi's faint words suddenly made the swaggering woman feel frightened, she offended these charlatans for no reason, maybe there was some big mess, these days, there are people who kill people and destroy families at every turn, thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but regret it, isn't it just a hundred and ten yuan, what's wrong with herself, confused!
As soon as the middle-aged man saw his wife's expression, he immediately understood that his wife regretted it, and the husband and wife for so many years were not fake.
"Don't be angry, little master, he is a woman with long hair and short knowledge, he has always said the same thing at home, this temper is a bit big, don't be surprised, we will give this money, you can tell me, how to eliminate this disaster!"
"Old man, you" The woman felt very shameless, especially in front of many onlookers, her husband openly disagreed with her son, isn't this a slap in the face! The heart that had just been softened by fright, was suddenly burned by a nameless fire.
"You let me go! What kind of money to give, I didn't call the police to arrest this kind of liar, even if I gave him face, go! ”
"This money"
"You can't go!"
"I'm leaving, can't I go?"
Seeing the trend of his wife's anger turning to himself, the middle-aged man suddenly softened, and in the laughter of everyone, these two people quickly went away, and when they saw that there was no excitement, everyone also dispersed, but there was an old lady who was very curious and chatted with Fang Shi.
"Hou Shengzi, that woman really has a disaster?"
"Old woman, that's someone else's business, you don't care about it."
"Hou Shengzi, there are ten disasters and nine disasters in this life, no one is indispensable, Hou Shengzi really has a way to avoid disasters? If you really have this ability, I will also count it on you. ”
"The way to avoid disasters is not very much, and the good karma of being kind to others will naturally lead to fewer disasters and fewer disasters, self-cultivation and self-cultivation will not be nameless, and it is naturally more blessed and long-lived, this method Our ancestors have not said for thousands of years, this is not a lie. Besides, I'm not a hexagram here, old woman. ”
"But don't everyone say that praying to God and worshiping Buddha can also eliminate disasters and solve problems? Isn't that woman also a layman? ”
"Old woman, why should the gods and Buddhas help you eliminate disasters and solve problems? Do I owe you? ”
"That's too, why is this, it can't all be lies, right?"
"Buddha and Tao both guide people to goodness, and what I just said is actually the same, there is a difficulty to seek, I am afraid that it is not possible to temporarily hold the Buddha's feet, whether you can reduce the calamity, does not depend on whether you usually accumulate good cultivation."
"Hou Shengzi has a point, so let's help my mother-in-law see how lucky? I still don't want it, I'm seventy or eighty, I'm not afraid of any calamity, if only I could see the luck of the younger generations. ”
Fang Shi smiled: "Then you have to believe in the younger generations, I think mother-in-law, you are a blessed person, and you can think openly, as long as you accumulate good deeds, the younger generations will take you as an example, and they will naturally benefit from it." ”
"Xiexie's post-born boy Ji Yan, hehe."
