Chapter 598: Karmic Cause and Effect 3

Lin Ruo was not the only one who wanted to ask Master Obscurity for divination.

Many pilgrims who come to the temple to worship the Buddha will throw baskets or ask for lots in front of the Buddha, and then ask the master in the temple to unsign the lot. For example, a high-ranking monk like Master Xuanwu said that he could break through the sky, and many people felt that this was not a nonsense.

Of course, the master of obscurity rarely interprets the divination for others, and it is already a blessing for several generations to let the master of obscurity read the appearance, divination, and interpretation, even if it is a vague statement or two after participating in meditation.

Lin Ruo was the last pilgrim Master to see today, and the first two made the same request, but Master Wuwu smiled kindly and dismissed it in obscure Buddhist language.

However, the two pilgrims didn't think so, they thought they had obtained the "heavenly opportunity", even when they asked questions, they only got the unfathomable smile of the master of obscurity, they still left excitedly.

But Lin Ruo is different.

This Princess Rong has a lot of Buddha affinity, and her Buddhist cultivation is not low.

Master Obscure's expression was calm, and he asked unhurriedly: "What does Master Lin want to ask?" โ€

Lin Ruo gave two words firmly: "In this life." โ€

This answer surprised the Master of Obscurity. When ordinary pilgrims ask, whether it is marriage, or wealth, or power, or disaster dissipation, it is really rare for Lin Ruo to give such a broad answer as "this life". But on the contrary, Lin Ruo is not a person who knows nothing about the number of Buddha's lives.

Master Obscurity silently plucked the rosary in his hand, and after a long time, he spoke: "Master Lin, do you know what are the three most difficult things in the world to calculate?" โ€

Lin Ruo tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "How much, bitterness, life and death." โ€

Master Obscurity nodded, agreeing with Lin Ruo's statement.

It is true that these three things that are most difficult to calculate accurately in a person's life are true: first, it is impossible to calculate how much money a person can earn in his life; Second, it is uncertain how much happiness and suffering a person can have in his life; Third, it is not certain when and how the person will end his life, and of course, it is not known when the parents will give birth to the child.

These three things, to put it bluntly, are how much Lin Ruo boils down, bitterness and happiness, life and death.

But these three most inaccurate things have plagued people in this life.

I really want to make it clear, but it's actually easy, it's nothing more than: more is less, suffering is happiness, and life is death. But the great truth and wisdom contained in this simple twelve characters are very few people can mix through.

Lin Ruo can understand that the three things that have plagued people for a lifetime are inaccurate and inexplicable, but she still stubbornly asks Master Obscurity about "this life", she actually just wants to know whether the current Lin Ruo is the continuation of Gu Mengyao or Gu Manxue's rebirth, that's all. Maybe this entanglement may not mean anything to Lin Ruo, but it is an answer that she has been asking for.

"Amitabha, revealing the secret of heaven is going to break his life."

"The disciple understands," Lin Ruo smiled lightly when he saw that the master of obscurity was relieved, "So, the disciple asked the master for guidance." โ€

What does this mean, let him play the zen machine?

When ordinary pilgrims came to inquire, Master Obscurity did the same, but their understanding could not be compared with Lin Ruo. For ordinary people, the Zen machine can only be understood by seven or eight points, but for Lin Ruo, she only needs to point to one or two points, and she can realize it.

Is this a blatant attempt to exploit loopholes?

And in front of God and the Buddha!

It's - daring!

A hint of surprise finally flashed in the benevolent expression of the Master of Obscurity, but the old monk quickly recovered, pulled the rosary in his hand, and said slowly: "Lord Laurin personally copied a copy of the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra. โ€

When Master Obscurity said this, he agreed.

Lin Ruo let go of his shoulders, folded his hands, and said sincerely: "Amitabha, the disciple is willing." โ€

Master Xuanwu's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he said slowly: "The other side is ahead, but there is a moat in the way. If you move forward, you will fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demons; If you retreat, you will fall into the mouth of the hungry ghost. If you don't advance or retreat, you will sink in a pool of stagnant water. What should the Lord of the Forests be? โ€

"If you go forward, you will be stagnation, and if you retreat, you will choke and fill your chest. There is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to enter the earth, it is really a desperate place," Lin Ruo was silent for a moment, and then said with a determined gaze, "Let three feet of snow fall, it is difficult to suppress the spirit pine (1)!" Heaven never endures the path of man, and if you want to survive in a desperate place, you need to rely on great wisdom. โ€

Master Wuwu smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Lin Ruo's answer.

Then, when Lin Ruo was still pondering the deep Zen machine, Master Obscure Wu spoke again: "Has Master Lin ever known about 'Stone Bridge Zen'? โ€

Lin Ruo nodded: "Venerable Ananda replied to the Buddha, I wish to incarnate as a stone bridge, subject to five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, just ask the other party to walk across the bridge." โ€

Lin Ruo spoke very slowly, and there seemed to be a flash of white light in his mind, but it was too fast to catch it.

And Master Enlightenment has already begun to ask the next question: "Does the Lord of Nalin know that there is a fine house in the realm of Shewei Kingdom, called 'Only Garden Essence House (2)'?" โ€

Lin Ruo took a breath and wrinkled his eyebrows in thought: "I vaguely heard this name, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Please also ask Master Enlightenment for advice. โ€

Holding the rosary, Master Enlightenment said without hesitation: "Sudatta, the elder of the Northern Acropolis, listened to the Buddha's teachings in the Bamboo Forest Monastery, gave initiation, and implored the Buddha to go to the Acropolis of the Samira State House to say the Dharma, so that sentient beings can attain Dharma happiness and liberation. โ€

Lin Ruo's mind had a flash of inspiration: "What Master Enlightenment said is that the lonely elder covered the garden with gold, and bought from the prince of Shewei Guo to invite the world-honored person to say the truth?" โ€

Master Obscurity smiled and nodded, and said no more.

Lin Ruo blinked, these three Zen machines were the answer given by the Master of Obscurity - "This Life".

It's just that Master Obscurity said too much, and the white light flashed too fast and couldn't catch it, so Lin Ruoshang didn't understand the deep meaning.

"Master of Obscurity, you ......"

When she wanted to ask Master Wuwu to give her a point or two, Master Wuwu raised his hand, put his five fingers together, palms forward, and only gave her five words: "The Buddha said: Don't say." โ€

If you say more, it will be a revelation of heaven.

Lin Ruo pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time in the tea room. In the quiet environment, you can hear the sound of bubbling tea, the sound of the master of obscurity plucking the rosary, and the sound of the wind blowing.

The fragrance of tea dispersed and gathered, gathered and dispersed, wandering in the tea room.

Master Wuwu has never said anything to send off the guests, but he has nothing to gain for a long time, Lin Ruo folded his hands and said goodbye and left.
