Chapter 231: The mood is not beautiful
Under a walnut tree, a gray-clothed middle-aged monk sat cross-legged, holding a Buddhist bead in his left hand and slowly turning, and his right hand gently tapped the wooden fish in front of him.
His chanting voice is not loud, which makes people not really hear, but with the sound of the wooden fish, it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Seeing that monk, Liu Xiu seriously doubted that he could see clearly the scriptures in the book when he was blind in the black light, and he was not reading blindly, after all, no one could hear what he was reading.
Around the monk, there were at least thousands of refugees, and the family of the old man next to Liu Xiu was among them, in a relatively marginal position.
Thousands of refugees sat on the ground or knelt on the ground in front of the monk, quietly listening to his chanting.
Obviously, there is a tide of refugees around, and the noise and shouting make people upset, but the place where the monk is located is extremely quiet, quiet in the middle of the noise, especially with the thousands of refugees around who seem to be extremely pious, so under such support, the monk seems to be extremely mysterious and detached, like a monk who has attained the Tao, which makes people subconsciously believe in him and get close to him.
In Liu Xiu's senses, the monk is also an ordinary person, not to mention compared with the monks of the Void Temple, even with the ordinary monks of the Baiyun Temple, but the atmosphere is there.
Speaking from the heart, Liu Xiu has no prejudice against the profession of monks, after all, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, but after experiencing the monks of the Void Temple, although Liu Xiu will not anger others for no reason to be hostile to all monks, he will not have any good feelings.
"How can there be a monk here?"
When he walked over, Liu Xiu was a little puzzled, not that it was strange that a monk appeared, but mainly because Liu Xiu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if the monk's appearance had another purpose.
This is just Liu Xiu's subconscious feeling, and there is no basis for it.
Refugees, Five Poison Sects, Mountain Bandits, Monks, Void Temple, Yu Clan Ruins......
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, and Liu Xiu seemed to grasp a trace of vague veins, but he couldn't tell the truth, as if there was a force pushing something in the dark.
I really can't figure it out, so Liu Xiu doesn't think about it so much, why bother asking for trouble?
The chanting of the monks over there slowly stopped, and it seemed that it had come to an end for the time being.
He opened his eyes, looked at the refugees around him with a compassionate face, and sighed: "Lay people, the suffering you suffer today is all you are accumulating blessings for the future, don't be sad, face it with a normal heart, don't be sad, the future will be better, my Buddha is compassionate, I can't see the world suffering, the poor monks' cultivation is limited, and they can't save the laymen from the sea of suffering, they can only chant sutras and pray for you to eliminate disasters and solve problems, it's all gone, there is only so much that the poor monks can do."
When the words fell, the monk closed his eyes and stopped talking, and the indifferent tranquility of the monk was a good performance.
"Master, you can chant for us one more time."
"Yes, Master, help us recite sutras to eliminate disasters, we are all suffering victims here, I hope the master can chant for us to wash away our sins, and we will not have to suffer like this in the future."
"Please, Master, we can't afford to suffer like this anymore"
"Master, I fled in a hurry, I didn't have anything on me, there are some copper plates here, I would like to donate them to the master, I just ask you to chant a sutra for a while to pray for us to eliminate disasters......"
The monk stopped chanting, and the people around him began to pray, and some people even gritted their teeth and took out the few coins left on their bodies and put them in front of the monk.
After someone took the lead, others also took out money and begged the monk to recite more scriptures.
In a few moments, the monk was piled up with a pile of coins.
Seeing all this, Liu Xiu's heart couldn't say what it felt, the refugees themselves were almost unbearable, but for a little illusory hope, they were willing to take out the last bit of family money.
In fact, Liu Xiu understands the mentality of refugees, they are confused and hesitant, frightened and helpless in their hearts, and the appearance of monks is just a little psychological comfort, but it is like a life-saving straw for refugees, it seems that they have the courage to face the suffering they are suffering at the moment.
To be honest, if this monk is going to do something, I am afraid that it only takes a little demagogy to form a terrible force for the refugees, after all, the refugees are helpless, and someone takes the lead in doing everything.
After glancing at the monk a little, Liu Xiuxin said that if this was just an ordinary liar, just to defraud some of the victims' money, it would be great to let him spit out the money afterwards and then suffer something unforgettable for a lifetime.
But if he was going to bewitch the victims to do something, Liu Xiu would have to send him to see the Buddha!
The victims are already very pitiful, and if they are dragged down into the unknown troubled waters, how can they bear it?
is still the same sentence, if he didn't encounter it, Liu Xiu wouldn't think about it so much, but when he encountered it himself, he didn't mind cleaning up the filth in the world......
It's not that Liu Xiu is noble, to put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary person's mentality, and in the case of ability and no follow-up trouble, I'm afraid that no one will turn a blind eye to the current situation, right?
The monk over there couldn't remain indifferent to the refugees around him, so he opened his eyes and sighed: "Don't be like this, don't benefactors, the poor monks don't ask for money, even if it's your own volition, you can take back the money, the poor monks won't take a penny."
"Master, this is what we sincerely gave to the Buddha, where is the reason to take it back"
"Yes, master, you can accept it for the Buddha......"
The people around him spoke one after another, as if they were not sincere enough if they did not let the monk accept the money, and they would not be able to get the monk's scripture baptism.
'If it's a play, it's all up to this, do you accept it or not?' Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.
If the monk is a liar, Liu Xiu has a way to make him repent of his mistakes, and change his past to be a really good person, and don't want to have a peaceful life without doing 10,000 good deeds to atone for his sins!
However, to Liu Xiu's surprise, the monk was still indifferent, and after a little muttering, he spoke: "Lay people, everyone is already very difficult, these money poor monks really can't and won't accept it, the Buddha will blame it, how about this, you yourself elect a few people to keep the money, supervise each other, and go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy food and distribute it to everyone, in this way, your mind Buddha has also received, but also helped others, this is doing good deeds, the Buddha will see, how?" Then the poor monk will recite a prayer for you to ward off the disaster."
For the monk's proposal, the people around him are indispensable, this is undoubtedly the best way.
People discussed a little, and then elected five highly respected people to keep the money donated by everyone, under Liu Xiu's careful observation, those people had nothing to do with the monks, and they were really not doing a show.
All this was not only expected by Liu Xiu, but also by him.
I'm afraid that the monk is not a liar, nor is he trying to cheat money.
However, Liu Xiu is sure that the monk is definitely 'making a show', not seeking money, nor bewitching the people, then there must be a bigger plan!
His mind flickered, and Liu Xiu probably understood what the monk was drawing.
I don't know how many people have been affected by a rainstorm, and there are countless victims, what is more suitable than the present to promote the concept of Buddhism?
This is the concept of gathering incense!
When the Buddhist idea of selflessness and compassion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......
A glimpse of the whole leopard, to be honest, thinking of the follow-up, Liu Xiu almost gasped.
The 'legendary' temple has run out, and now there are monks preaching Buddhism, and this Buddhism is in the next big game of chess!
Combined with the thoughts that were left behind before, natural disasters, man-made disasters, the legendary Void Temple, and the ruins of the Yu clan that had disappeared in history, Liu Xiu seemed to feel a general trend, an indomitable general trend began to set sail, and the wheel of history began to turn, rolling forward and not knowing where to go!
For some reason, Liu Xiu's mood was inexplicably a little heavy, and the air seemed to become dull, as if the whole world was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.
Exhaling softly, Liu Xiu told himself that he was just a passerby in this world, no matter what the future holds, whether the world is turned upside down or changed, he will see it.
The monk didn't do anything bad, nor did he provoke himself, and Liu Xiu couldn't find a reason to trouble him.
Putting aside his thoughts, Liu Xiu pointed to the front and said to the old man beside him: "Old man, do you see if those are your family?" ”
"Where, where?" The old man said anxiously, squinting his eyes and stretching his neck as far as he could.
Then, the old man saw his family, and in an instant, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and he threw away the crutch in his hand, and shouted with red eyes: "Son, I have found you......"
As if he was afraid of disturbing the atmosphere around him, the old man quickly suppressed his emotions, but his slightly trembling body showed how excited he was inside.
The old man and his family were reunited, and the family hugged each other excitedly and comforted each other.
Liu Xiu watched silently, didn't bother, with a smile on his face, and helped another person, this mood is really good.
The old man is just a person Liu Xiu met by chance during his journey, gathering and scattering with fate, fate comes, they meet, fate comes, that is, it is time to separate.
After observing for a moment, Liu Xiu silently retreated into the crowd and left.
The sound of the monk's chanting sounded again, the surroundings became quiet, and in the murmuring chanting, the old man looked back and said something to his family, he was looking for Liu Xiu's figure, but Liu Xiu had left silently.
Helping the old man find his family is indeed a happy thing, but this does not dilute the suppressed emotions in Liu Xiu's heart.
The mood is not very beautiful, Liu Xiu feels that she should find something to do, if she is uncomfortable, then let others be uncomfortable, so that she can be comfortable......
It seems good to have fun with the Five Poisons Sect?
