Master Shaoyi looked at the back of the clay statue and sighed lightly, tears in his eyes. After taking a little more breath, his mood calmed down, which shows the depth of his qi cultivation skills. Then, start telling the story as if you were talking about someone else's business.

"The story is cliché, don't mind. Once, there was a young man who fell in love with a beautiful girl. That society is very chaotic, people's hearts are very impetuous, and survival is the only way to live. That young man, who came from a declining scholarly family, lived as well as a biting dog in that era of eating by his fists.

Eventually, the woman married a warlord. At first, he thought it was a helpless move forced by power. But later, by a rare opportunity, he met a woman who had gone to make a wish for a child in a temple. thought that eloping to the end of the world for love would happen to him. As a result, unfortunately, their private meeting was discovered, and the woman, in order to protect herself, actually told her warlord husband that he was harassing her.

That day, he was beaten half to death by the brutal soldiers, and the woman was concerned at first, but gradually all that remained was her indifferent eyes. Finally, right in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, he was pointed at the head at gunpoint by a warlord and asked if he had anything else to say before he died. He did not tell the story between him and the woman, but pointed to the clay statue of the Bodhisattva and asked, "Isn't he afraid of retribution for such an outrageous and inhumane act?"

As a result, after hearing this, the warlord laughed wildly, saying that he only believed in fists and did not believe in God, if there was really retribution in the world, then why did he kill so many people and become stronger and stronger? Not only that, but the warlord actually directly ordered to smash the statue of the Bodhisattva and set fire to the temple. And he said, if there is a god, just take away your life. ”

Hearing this, Niu Struggle interjected: "Because of one sentence, he made such a big move, or he believed in God, but he had to show that he didn't believe in God, because he was not confident, so he had to force himself, and only by daring to break through everything could he gain a foothold in the fierce struggle environment." Otherwise, he doesn't believe in God, and he's a madman. If he was a madman, that lad would never have lived. If it had been the former, the young man would have survived because he needed a witness. ”

After hearing this, Master Shaoyi showed a little surprise, and then said with a smile: "The donor is right, that young man is not dead. The warlord said that he would spare his life and let him see if there was any retribution in the world. ”

"And then?" Niu Struggle did come to be interested, although he already had a premonition of what the result would be, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"That warlord grew bigger and bigger, dominated one side, and finally died in a war against Japan, and was regarded as a national hero." Master Shaoyi replied calmly, not seeing any change in mood.

"National hero, oops, the reputation doesn't stink. Dare I ask you, Master, what do you think of this matter with your erudition? Is his fate retribution? Niu Zhan suddenly asked.

"Some people say that he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot."

"The mage thinks so, too?" Niu struggled to ask.

Shaoyi shook his head and said, "The day before he died in battle, he also robbed a few women for fun. On the battlefield, he wanted to escape, but there were too many enemies to escape. His butcher's knife was never put down. ”

"Is there no retribution? After the bad guy dies, he still has such a good reputation, it doesn't make sense, right? What does the mage think? Niu struggled to ask one after another, looking like he didn't ask clearly, and he swore not to give up.

The old monk was stupid and couldn't answer. The young man couldn't answer, so he chose to become a monk. He believed that there was retribution in the world, and that there were gods in the world, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, if he wanted to clear the fog, he could only be born and start to practice. To become a monk, he thought that it would be easier to find the answer from the perspective of a monk.

He told his father that he wanted to find a way out of the sea of suffering for all suffering beings and wanted to become a monk. His father did not stop him, but when he was really determined to leave, he turned his back to him and said that if he wanted to be true to the world, he had to forget that he still had a father. Only when you forget your relatives can you put them in the world in your heart.

He still can't forget his father, he can't forget that back, he still hasn't found the answer. He had discussed that issue with many eminent monks, and he had said everything. Some people say that although the warlord burned down the temple and smashed the statue, at the same time he left the young man's life and planted good fruits. As for the smashed statues and burned down monasteries, for the Bodhisattva, they will not be taken to heart, because the Bodhisattva is generous and selfless. But what did the eminent monk do when he said those words? When preaching the Dharma to their followers, he emphasized that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded, and we must have great reverence for the Bodhisattva and Buddha, and there should be no blasphemy, otherwise we will be retributed. It is also said that the temple was burned and the statue was destroyed, but it was the supreme merit that a person with wisdom roots was allowed to enter the Buddha's gate. However, the young man did not completely let go of it all his life, because after he left home, his helpless father chose to commit suicide. All he could remember was that back. ”

After listening to Niu Zhan, he finally understood the source of the Buddha statue in the hall, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, he really didn't let it go, otherwise he wouldn't have described his situation as if he was not as good as a dog that could bite." All beings are equal, and all things have spirituality. But I still don't understand, since I haven't put it down, how can I have such a cultivation. If you know the method of silence, you will train your disciples to become first-class monks. Did I think wrong, or who was wrong? ”

"It's the Buddha's mistake!" Master Shaoyi said leisurely.

The four words of the slow and rational were like thunder in Niu Zhan's ears, and he could never have imagined that the young master, who was extremely respected by Shanxi Zen Master, would actually say such a rebellious thing.

"Are you a Buddha?" Niu Struggle asked urgently.

"It's not!" One less mage answered quickly.

"Since you are not a Buddha, it is not that the Buddha is wrong, but that you are wrong!" Niu Struggle said with a frown.

"Why am I wrong?" Master Shaoyi also frowned, as if he disagreed with the conclusion of Niu Struggle.

"Have you spoken to the Buddha?"

"Did!"

"Did the Buddha talk to you?"

"Nope!"

"If you don't say a word, you just smile with flowers, what's wrong?" Niu Zhan's voice has improved a lot.

Master Shaoyi was suddenly stunned when he heard this, fell into painful contemplation, and after half a salary, his brows finally relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be much younger: "Old monk, enlightened!" Jiyanmen people, really worthy of the name. ”

"It seems that the master already knows who I am, why did I come?" For Shaoyi to guess his identity, in fact, Niu Zhan was not surprised at all, he knew that others had this ability. It's just that I'm just breaking it now, and I have some doubts in my heart.

"You and the other benefactor have the same purpose, but you are much more clever than him. He said that I was a demon and wanted to mess with my heart. You say I'm human, let me go back to my heart. Amazing! Master Shaoyi smiled, smiling very kindly and naturally, not at all like a monk, but like a kind elder.

"Is that man you are talking about a man who looks like a woman?"

Master Shaoyi nodded slightly, admitting it, but said: "It's not convenient for you to have a relationship with him now, don't worry, the old monk has already understood, since he is enlightened, it is time to go, and you are not worth the trip." However, the old monk is very grateful to have your teachings on the occasion of parting. ”

Hearing this, Niu Zhan was shocked: "What did you say? You won't 。。。。。。 ”

"It's time to go, do you particularly want to know, how can I have the method of extinction if my four major are not empty?"

Niu Zhan nodded, but at the moment he only felt guilt in his heart, he understood that a monk like Shaoyi could predict the time of his death, and what he said just now was actually very clear, and he was the culprit. Master Shaoyi would definitely not think so, but through this short chat, Niu Struggle has recognized the mage's personality from the bottom of his heart, and he believes that what the mage does is all out of public heart.

"Amitabha!" Master Shaoyi took out his hands from his sleeves, put them together, and said the Buddha name.

This was the first time Niu Zhan had seen him stretch out his hands since he met him. At first, he didn't pay attention, but when he asked that sentence, he put his hands together and said a Buddha name. Niu Zhan saw the other party's hand, and finally understood, for a while, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, if he didn't meddle in his own affairs, such a monk would not be ready to die.
