Chapter 572 You Are Not Dead or Live at All II

"Master Lu Shi, do you know that you are not dead or alive at all!"

The words of the dry old monk were tantamount to a thunderclap that resounded in Lu Qiushi's heart, and he turned to look at the old monk who was still sitting on the bed expressionlessly, waiting quietly, waiting for the words of the other party.

"Sit, Master Lu has been in for so long, the old monk has forgotten to give up his seat to Lord Lu, and I ask Lord Lu Shi to forgive me." The old monk didn't continue, and saw Lu Qiushi sitting on the wooden chair opposite, but continued the previous topic and said, "Master Lu, the poor monk has two ghost disciples, one harms and the other saves people, I don't know what Lord Lu thinks?" ”

Although the old monk continued the previous nonsense, because of what he said just now, the impatience in Lu Qiushi's heart completely disappeared, and he listened to the old monk's words quietly.

Lu Qiushi, who calmed down, heard that there seemed to be something hidden in the old monk's words, and everything the other party said seemed to be insinuating himself and his identity as a dead and alive person.

"I don't have any opinion, the ghost who harms people is naturally an evil ghost, and the ghost who saves people is naturally a good ghost, is there anything to question about this?" Lu Qiushi didn't seem to be using his mind at all, and replied according to the old monk's words.

The old monk's face finally had an expression, and he said with a smile instead of a smile: "Lord Lu Shi is a person of great wisdom, and the poor monk believes that you definitely have your own thoughts and judgments, but you are used to being cautious and unwilling to easily express your opinions." ”

"I ......" Lu Qiushi was shocked by the judgment of the old monk sitting cross-legged on the bed, after he entered the house, the old monk never opened his eyes, but he felt that the other party had been watching him, just like the feeling of being watched by many gods and Buddha sculptures in the temples of Wutai Mountain during the day, "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who the poor monk is, what matters is who you are, Master Lu?" The old monk's words are full of Zen opportunities.

"Who am I?" Lu Qiushi was stunned for a moment, repeating the words of the old monk, his words were like asking himself, and like asking the withered old monk sitting on the bed.

"Master Lu Shi, my two ghost disciples were originally biological brothers, my elder brother accumulated virtue and did good deeds during his lifetime, and he should have been reincarnated in a good family after his death; And the younger brother was full of evil in his life, and after his death, he was sent to hell. The old monk's thinking teleported extremely fast, and without waiting for Lu Qiushi to figure it out, he pulled the topic back again, "The poor monk asks you, what do you think of my two ghost disciples, who is the elder brother who harms and saves people now, and which one is the younger brother?" ”

According to the idea of ordinary people, since the elder brother accumulated virtue and did good deeds during his lifetime, it must be the elder brother who saves people, and on the contrary, it is naturally the younger brother who harms others.

But Lu Qiushi didn't answer immediately, he felt that there was something in the old monk's words, and after thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Could it be that these two brothers turned into ghosts after death and became diametrically opposed to when they were alive?" ”

"Lord Lu Shi is really smart, but does Lord Lu Shi know why the two of them have changed so much after they die?"

I don't care why they have changed so much, what does it have to do with me! Lu Qiushi secretly slandered himself, but he said: "I don't know, is there any reason for this?" ”

"Hehe, my brother did evil after he died, just to give his younger brother a chance to do good, the purpose is to let his younger brother not fall into hell, can Master Lu Shi understand the meaning of the poor monk?" After the dry old monk finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and face Lu Qiushi, as if he was expecting Lu Qiushi's answer.

"This ......" Lu Qiushi wanted to say what this had to do with me, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized something, and couldn't help asking, "Is the master using this to guide me?" ”

"Yes, Master Lu Shi is really perceptive, and in the future, when he completes his mission in this life, he might as well take refuge in my Buddha, and he is expected to achieve positive results." After hearing Lu Qiushi's answer, the dry old monk actually had a smile on his face.

"The mission? My mission? What is the mission? Lu Qiushi automatically filtered the second half of the sentence, and keenly found the key problem from the first half of the old monk's sentence.

The dry old monk turned his head to the front, no longer facing Lu Qiushi, and said slowly: "In the world, what people see with their own eyes, hear and experience may not be true, and there are many things that do not understand the inside story, it is easy to make wrong judgments. Just like these two ghost disciples of the poor monk, if it weren't for the poor monk telling Lu Shizhu the inside story, would Lu Shizhu be able to think that harming people is really good, and saving people is really evil? ”

At this time, Lu Qiushi felt that his head was a little big, the topic of the old monk on the bed teleported too much, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party at all, so he could only choose silence.

However, the dry old monk didn't seem to want to see him silent, first said lightly to the two shapeshifters on the other side, you go out, and then turned his face to Lu Qiushi, and said, "Lord Lu Shi is silent, but what did you realize from the words of the poor monk?" ”

"No," Lu Qiushi said honestly, he didn't have the heart to ponder the deep meaning of the old monk's words now, "I'm just thinking about whether the mission in the master's mouth refers to my mission, and if so, what is my mission?" ”

The dry old monk picked up a pair of scissors from the desk, gently cut off a candle wick, and then put the scissors back on the desk, without saying a word, as if waiting for Lu Qiushi's words.

Lu Qiushi noticed that the old monk always closed his eyes during the whole process, if he touched the scissors from the desk and could be explained by being familiar with the placement of objects in the room, then what should he say about cutting off a candle wick with his eyes closed?

After pondering for a while, Lu Qiushi's eyes lit up, and he stared at the dry old monk on the bed and asked with some excitement: "Master, is it possible that you want to tell me that what I see, hear, and experience now is not real, it's just that I don't understand the inside story of the matter, so I think I'm a dead and alive person, and in fact, just like you just said, I'm not a dead or alive person at all!" ”

"Amitabha!" For the first time, the dry old monk's hands moved, he put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's verses, and the expression on his face was obviously a little moved, "Lord Lu Shi is extremely intelligent, and he can understand this point just by the old monk's words, which is really commendable." ”

"Then why does everyone say I'm alive or dead?" Lu Qiushi stood up suddenly, walked to the bed in a few steps, and knew that the old monk on the bed was about to say something he wanted to know very much.

It's a pity that the dry old monk didn't continue, but asked, "Everyone? I don't know if all the people Lu Shi refers to are just cultivators in the human world, or does it include the palaces of the underworld, the Yan monarchs, and those ghost kings who are mixed in the human world? ”

Lu Qiushi's body trembled, and suddenly it occurred to him that it seemed that it was really like what the old monk said, it seemed that only cultivators in the world who directly said that they were dead and alive, and the underworld and Yu Hui and the gang had never said that they were dead or alive!

It wasn't just these things that shocked him, the old monk's subsequent words made him stunned on the spot.

"There have never been dead or alive in this world, not thousands of years ago, and even less today, thousands of years later!"
