A particularly long New Year has passed, and when I was a child, I thought it was the happiest New Year in my life, but this time it became my nightmare. Listening to the constant sound of firecrackers everywhere, looking at the children in new clothes and playing outside the window, I have only one wish in the old king's house, that is, the new year will pass as soon as possible, and the world will be restored to peace as soon as possible.

I can't deny that Lao Wang is very good to me, at least he takes care of my diet and daily life. During this time, in addition to drinking with Lao Wang to relieve my boredom, only the occasional phone call with my parents could relieve my worries. Another reason why I persevered was that Tan Min occasionally chatted with me on QQ, but because her family visited relatives and friends very frequently during the Chinese New Year, she only communicated with me for a short time and then went offline. It's only a few words, but it brings me great joy.

finally survived the Lantern Festival, but the old Wangtou's house was unusual, and began to be lively. There are often many mysteries in the characters coming and going, and everyone has no smile on their faces, all with vigilance and vigilance. Could these people be Lao Wang's workers and customers? I think it's incredible, if so, what kind of business does Lao Wang run?

Every time I asked a question with doubts, Lao Wang smiled and did not answer, and his guests never talked to me much, not even a greeting. This is someone else's home, and it is my blessing to be able to take me in, so naturally I don't bother to care about those idle things.

Every day when I have nothing to do, I will look at Buddhist scriptures on the Internet and listen to the people in the Buddhist community to distinguish the Dharma, which I find quite interesting. The only consequence is that I feel like my vision will often and inexplicably drop, but after a while, it will return to normal. At the same time, I had a strange feeling, as if I could see more clearly while my eyes were blurry, anyway, it was a very strange feeling, and I couldn't tell.

Although I am a disciple of Buddhism, because Zhao Li is a ghost Taoist, I still decided to respect his wishes and find him a few Taoist priests to do a ritual to surpass their whole family.

With the cooperation of Lao Wang, I took his car to the city, and with my memory, I found the place where I met Zhao Li. Out of respect for Zhao Li and thanks to him for the help he gave me, I did not hesitate to take out 10,000 yuan from the 50,000 yuan given to me by my parents, and asked Lao Wang to find a few Taoist priests who were said to be very famous for me.

When a few Taoist priests were doing the Fa, a few chengguan came. I secretly complained in my heart, I knew that my behavior was called feudal superstition, and it was unjustifiable to worship in the city openly.

Sure enough, those city managers stepped forward and shouted loudly, scolding and scolding us to get out of here quickly, otherwise we would destroy all those incense cases and everything. I smiled and said a lot of good things, how could the chengguan buy my account?

Just when I was very depressed and felt that I was going to break my promise to be sorry for Zhao Li, Lao Wang got out of the car and coughed purpose. To my surprise, when those city managers saw Lao Wang, they all squeezed out a smile, and they all vied to greet Lao Wang in a low voice. Lao Wang said arrogantly: "Brothers, this is my little brother, he wants to pay homage to the old man here, can you look at my thin face, you just open and close your eyes?" ”

The city manager at the head grinned and said, "Lao Wang, I can't afford what you say!" Since it is the little brother who is all given to the king, the brothers are offended, don't take it to heart. Yes, this little brother, you let those Taoist priests be quick and finish the matter as soon as possible, if the masses see this and call the police, then there is nothing we can do. ”

I hurriedly thanked him, and Lao Wang took out a few pieces of money, stuffed them into the hands of the person who led him, and said lightly: "Okay, you can leave, take this money, brothers drink tea!" ”

The leader took the money, and several people thanked him and left quickly. After the ritual was done, I sent those Taoist priests and said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, thank you so much today, I didn't expect those city managers to know you, your old man's ability really makes me admire." ”

Lao Wang said lightly: "That's nothing, it's just some friendship." Xiaomo, let's go back! ”

I shook my head and said, "Lao Wang, you go first, I want to sit here alone." I'll take it back myself, so you can rest assured. ”

Lao Wang frowned and said: "Xiaomo, my Lao Wang is the most righteous person, and he will never leave you alone." Since you want to sit alone, then let's find a place to drink tea first, and call me when you are well, and I will pick you up and go back with you. ”

I readily agreed, and after Lao Wang left, I found a clean stone and sat down, smoking a cigarette, and wondering if Zhao Li's family had already passed away at this moment. The reason why I want to stay is because I am afraid that I will make a mistake, and I am sorry for the promise I made to Zhao Li. If Zhao Li is gone, it means that my heart is over, if he fails to be born, he will definitely come out to meet me, then these Taoist priests are eating and drinking just now, and I have to arrange another master to give Zhao Li's family a super.

The sky gradually darkened, and I prayed silently, hoping to see Zhao Li, but also afraid of his appearance. The temperature dropped quickly, and although the Lantern Festival had passed, it was still cold in the southern cities.

I estimated that Zhao Li would not appear, and I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and when I was about to leave, I was surprised to find a room of mist around me. Just when I was surprised, Zhao Li stood in front of me with a smile.

I was surprised and happy in my heart, and blurted out "Brother Zhao", but Zhao Li didn't speak, leaned down, and bowed deeply to me. I realized that the ritual I asked someone to do for Zhao Li failed, and Zhao Li was still there, and he didn't go to reincarnation.

I said apologetically: "Brother Zhao, it must be that the confessions made by those fake Taoist priests have no effect. Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely do, and when I go back, I will find someone with real skills to give you a surplus. ”

Zhao Li smiled and said, "Brother Xiaomo, I bowed to you just now, which is to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of my whole family." The Dharma just now has dissipated all our resentment, and we can reincarnate. ”

I was very surprised, and asked for a moment, "Brother Zhao, why don't you hurry up?" ”

Zhao Li said: "My wife and daughter have already gone to the underworld, and I will go there in a while." I show up now, one is to express my gratitude to you, and the other is to have something to say to you. ”

I hugged my fists and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhao!" If you have anything to do with me, I will not be ambiguous as long as I can do it! ”

Zhao Li smiled and said, "Brother Xiaomo, this is not my business, it is your business." Let me ask you, do you still want to be an official? ”

I shook my head very seriously and said, "Brother Zhao, let you see the joke." In fact, I have not been interested in being an official since I was a child, and when I was studying, I was not happy to be a class leader, and the teacher criticized me severely. ”

Zhao Li asked rhetorically: "Then why did you come to Qingshi Town to be an official?" ”

My face turned red, and I said in a slushful voice: "Brother Zhao, I won't hide it from you, let's tell you the truth." At that time, I was tormented by family affection and conscience, and I couldn't see our Mojia Village making and selling fake medicines, and I didn't want my parents to be affected by my report. Later, I got a chance opportunity to get into the workforce. At that time, I naively thought that as long as I became an official, I could use the power in my hands to skillfully solve the affairs of our Mojia Village. It didn't stop them from committing crimes, but it didn't affect my parents, but as it turned out, I was wrong. ”

Zhao Li said slyly: "Brother Xiaomo, you are a person with a great background, so naturally you will not be like a person who is a mundane person, desperately trying to squeeze into the officialdom." Everything you encounter later is nothing more than the ordeal destined for your fate, not for nothing. Think about it, if you hadn't entered the official career, would you have known that Mayor Wang? If you don't know him, how can you get evidence of his guilt? ”

Zhao Li's words gave me a lot of encouragement. He continued: "Brother Xiaomo, before I left, I thanked you for your extraordinary grace and deliberately opened a yin altar. I cast a spell and found that you have a great connection with the lotus, but I don't understand the reason for it. I saw a red lotus flower slowly fly up and imprint it on your forehead. ”

I was surprised and said, "Lotus? At this moment, I immediately thought of the lonely lotus, but I immediately denied my own thoughts. After all, the first time I saw it was the Black-Lotus of Desire, and the secret oracle I received from the gods also allowed me to crack this Black-Lotus of Desire. The lonely lotus is dead, and she no longer has any intersections with life.

Zhao Li looked at me who was surprised, and said slowly: "Brother Xiaomo, although Buddhism and Taoism belong to different religions, the two are fundamentally the same. I know what the red lotus flower on your forehead represents, which means that you originally had the ability to see the sky, but it has been hidden in your body without activation! ”

I was very surprised, the Buddhist scriptures I read these days made me immediately have a general impression of the three words Tianyantong. I remember that it seems to be the Buddha's words in the "Treatise on Great Knowledge": The Bodhisattva of the Dharma Body purifies all desires in the eyes of the heavens, and the five paths cannot be obtained by ordinary people, and the Buddha cannot be heard. So what? The little arhat sees the 1,000-year-old realm with his small heart, and sees the 2,000-year-old realm with great heart; The great arhat sees the 2,000 worlds with his small heart, and sees the 3,000 worlds with his big heart; Pizhi Foyer. It's a good idea.

I am a disciple of Buddhism, and I have been hinted by the gods, I am a Buddha who does not move the illusion of the Ming King in the world, so what Zhao Li said about Tianyantong, is it the kind that I occasionally read in Buddhist scriptures?

I asked in surprise: "Brother Zhao, you are a ghost Taoist, are you talking about Tianyantong, is it from the Buddhist sect?" ”

Zhao Li smiled and said: "Brother Xiaomo, this Tianyantong statement originally came from your Buddhism!" ”
