Chapter 25: The Master
PS: During the new book period, ask for recommendations, ask for **......
"My mother is saved, my mother is saved."
Li Wei clasped his hands tightly on his chest, as if he had something precious in his arms, and kept repeating a sentence in his mouth, looking very excited.
He came to Tianji Temple and suffered for several days, and finally asked for a miracle medicine, and he was so excited that he shed tears.
Bang!
"Oops!"
In a daze, a person came up and collided with him.
Li Wei sat on the ground because he was unprepared, "My magic medicine, my magic medicine!" ”
However, his first reaction was not himself, nor the person who collided with him, but concerned about the things in his arms, only to see that the medicine bag in his arms was not gold or silver, but a medicine bag, and he was relieved to see that the medicine bag was intact, and suddenly heard a ** voice in front of him, "Oops, oops." ”
I saw a young man who was slightly younger than himself lying on the ground, rubbing his chest with one hand, and seemed to be in great pain.
And there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to the young man, and the young man hurriedly helped the young man up.
Li Wei was originally a scholar, so he naturally knew the same way, and felt that he was walking fast just now, and he didn't see the road, so he thought that he had bumped into someone else, so he hurriedly got up, walked over and asked: "This little brother, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault, I apologize to you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay--- cough cough!"
The young man didn't say a word, but he coughed heavily.
Li Wei said curiously: "Little brother, I see that you seem to be sick?" ”
The young man waved his hand and looked sad: "It's old, it's old." ”
Li Wei said again: "Then you are here to ask for medicine?" ”
The young man nodded and said, "Ahem, ahem, I heard that the abbot of this Tianji Temple is the messenger of the Bodhisattva, and he is here to help the people. ”
"It's true, it's true."
Li Wei nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "Don't hide it from my little brother, I just asked for a miracle medicine for my mother, and I was about to go back." ”
"Really?"
The young man bowed his hand weakly: "Congratulations." I wonder if this miracle medicine is hard to find? ”
Li Wei frowned slightly and said: "It's not difficult to say it's difficult, it's not easy to say it's easy to fall, it depends on whether you have a fate, little brother?" ”
The young man was confused and said, "How can you see this fate? ”
Li Wei said: "Little brother, do you usually go to the temple to burn incense?" ”
The young man shook his head and said, "The younger brother has lived for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has gone to the temple. ”
Li Wei sighed: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
The young man wondered, "Why do you say that?" ”
Li Wei said: "Little brother doesn't know, this magic medicine is only given to people who have a deep relationship with the Buddha, little brother, you have never been to the temple in your life, how can you have a deep Buddha relationship." ”
The young man said: "This is my sue for you, you know, if I don't say it, how will you know if my Buddha relationship is deep?" ”
Li Wei said excitedly: "I don't know, but the Bodhisattva knows!" ”
"Oh?"
The young man was stunned and said, "How does the Bodhisattva know? ”
Li Wei said: "There is a Bodhisattva statue in the backyard, and this statue can calculate whether you have a deep Buddha relationship. ”
"How do you calculate that?"
The young man was surprised.
Li Wei said: "If you ask, you have to go to the backyard to kneel and beg, then the Nine Lights Monk will give you a plate of pills, you kneel in front of the statue with the pills, and reverently tell the Bodhisattva about your illness, if the Bodhisattva feels that you have a deep Buddha relationship, he will take the pills from the plate, and then the Nine Lights Monk will give you the magic medicine, but if not, the Bodhisattva will not take the pills." ”
"I see."
The young man nodded and said, "Then this magic medicine must be very expensive." ”
"How can a miracle medicine be measured by such mundane things as money?" Li Wei looked a little angry, feeling that this buddy had defiled the Bodhisattva.
"You mean this elixir doesn't cost money?"
"Naturally, not."
The young man was startled and asked, "Then how do I accumulate Buddha affiliation?" ”
Li Wei said: "Of course, I came to the temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense, and I also burned incense and candles for several days to get this miracle medicine." ”
"Burning incense?"
The young man smiled: "Then this incense candle definitely doesn't cost money." ”
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Incense candles naturally cost money." ”
"Oh? How much does that cost? ”
"The front temple has five coins and three burns, and the incense of the statue of the god must be ten dollars and three burns."
"Ahem, it's so expensive?"
"This incense is more expensive than ordinary incense candles, but this is not an ordinary incense candle, it has been consecrated by the Nine Lamps monk, which can help you accumulate Buddha fate, and this is not a lot of money."
Li Wei said and said: "I'm not lying to you, if you go to ask for magic medicine first, nine times out of ten you can't ask for it, don't waste the opportunity, you can go to the front temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and then go to the backyard to meditate, listen to the nine lamps monk chanting, after a long time, the Buddha is deep and then go to ask for the magic medicine." ”
"Yes, I know, thank you big brother."
The young man bowed his hand again.
"No thanks, no thanks, I'll take my leave first."
"Please walk slowly."
Li Wei said with a slight bow, and then left quickly.
As soon as he left, the young man immediately straightened up, looked at Li Weiyuan's back, and said with a smile: "Medicine doesn't need money, incense costs money, master!" ”
This young man is Han Yi, and by his side is naturally Ono.
Ono gently pulled down Han Yi's sleeve, and looked at Han Yi with a pair of innocent eyes full of curiosity.
"Let's talk as we go."
Han Yi took Ono and walked outside the temple, and said with a smile: "The scams in this world can be roughly divided into two categories, one is a hammer deal, but the amount involved each time is very huge, and the person who cheats will disappear after cheating, and the other is a trickle of water, although the money involved in each business is very small, but it is repetitive, spreading, extensive, visible, day after day, and it makes a lot of money." ”
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "And this nine-lamp monk belongs to the latter, his most clever place is that he is not impatient or impatient, creating the illusion of an excellent Buddhist holy land, at first I thought that the magic medicine must be very expensive, but I didn't expect that the magic medicine didn't cost a penny, but this is exactly where he is cunning."
This is a miracle medicine, how much money is reasonable, it can be said to be priceless, but if the price is set high, then ordinary people can't afford it, only those rich families can afford it, but after all, there are few rich people, and the sick rich people are even rarer, if it is only for the rich, the income is definitely not much, so it has to rely on these ignorant people.
But if the magic medicine is sold cheaply, then it will tarnish the name of the magic medicine, and so, simply don't want money, so that the forced grid is high, oh, the meaning of the forced grid is here, and it is also very reasonable, how can the Bodhisattva give it be measured by money, so that more people can be convinced, but he has to make money, and the money of this incense candle is the key, the general incense, a penny can buy three to five branches, but he sells it here for five cents or even ten cents, and the price has increased nearly tenfold.
But do you want to say that this money is a lot, in fact, it is not much, that is, five pennies, but this incense is used to accumulate Buddha fate, just now the man also said, he burned incense candles for several days, and he can not only burn three incense sticks a day, this counts, a month to spend a lot of money! Because the money used each time is not much, the person seeking medicine has no way of realizing that his property is slowly being eaten away by others until he runs out of money.
And according to human nature, those people who come to seek medicine will have a fear of failure, they will always feel that their Buddha fate is not enough, so they will continue to burn incense, hoping to accumulate more Buddha fate.
In addition, do you pay attention to what the man said, he said that you have to tell your illness in front of the statue, then the monk of the Nine Lights can judge whether he can cure his illness according to the condition of the person seeking medicine, so as to decide whether to give him medicine, once the medicine takes effect, then it will soon spread ten, ten to hundred, attracting more people to come here, the more people come here, the more he will naturally earn, the more fame he will be, many rich families will also come here, those rich people donate money once, but it is enough for us poor people to live for a lifetime. This nine-lamp monk has played this trick to the point of exquisiteness, and I underestimated him. ”
Ono frowned and nodded, and suddenly made a god posture.
Han Yi knew what he was going to ask at a glance, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, you remember, there is no Taoism or immortal law in this world, and even if there is, it is not human to manipulate, so nine times out of ten it is a lie, the mystery of the idol, although I am not sure, but I have already guessed that the right hand of the idol should be made of something similar to a magnet, and the pill is doped with iron filings and other substances, if the Nine Lights monk thinks that this person can be saved, then put a pill mixed with iron filings in it, When the seeker lifted the tray high, the idol made of iron sucked the pill mixed with oil and iron filings into his hand with his right hand, and the others thought that the idol had magical powers. ”
