[040] The giver is like a beggar
However, he was also a very strong person back then, and he has been at the forefront of everyone since the end of the world, so the suffering and torture of this kind of low-level people is not profound.
Although he does not look down on those who rely on selling their sons and daughters for a chance to live, he has no favor, let alone those who voluntarily sell their limbs.
In the evening, Guan Yu and Zhang Xiaoqiang entered a restaurant together, which was the property of a certain strong man, and Guan Yu still had the free hospitality card that the strong man gave yesterday.
Guan Yu and Zhang Xiaoqiang were not polite, and directly ordered dozens of dishes, and after serving the dishes, Mance ate them in an orderly manner.
"Kind-hearted people, do well, poor little old man, just give some rice porridge." At this moment, a voice caught Guan Yu's attention, and on the corner of the street opposite the restaurant, an old man had a broken bowl in front of him, and he was kneeling on the ground and begging pitifully.
Guan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, this old man clearly contained some kind of divine power in his body, how could he become a beggar?
He immediately stared at the old man, observing carefully.
At this time, the old man seemed to notice him, raised his head slightly, then grinned at him, and then lowered his head and continued to beg.
"Brother Guan, why don't you eat it?" Zhang Xiaoqiang saw Guan Yu stop and immediately asked.
Guan Yu took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then asked, "It's nothing, Xiaoqiang, do you know the origin of that old beggar?" ”
His questioning voice was normal, not deliberately amplified or deliberately reduced, it was just an ordinary inquiry.
"Old beggar? I really don't know, but you can ask the waiter here! Zhang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old beggar opposite the store, and replied.
He immediately called the waiter and asked the old beggar where he came from.
The waiter frowned slightly, and finally answered truthfully.
In fact, the waiter did not know the origin of the old beggar, but he would appear from the corner every time it was time to eat, shouting the same words every time, and would not leave until someone gave him alms.
This has been going on for two years.
Guan Yu was a little curious after hearing this, how could a god with divine power in his body be a beggar?
Things gather people in groups, and talents at different levels can come into contact with people at different levels. If Guan Yu hadn't become a god, even if he ate in this place today, I'm afraid he would just pass by the old beggar, and he didn't know that this ordinary old beggar was a god.
But he became a god, so when he met him, he would recognize it, and thus there was a chance to intersect. It's not that after he became a god, he had more opportunities to meet God.
After being full of wine and food, Guan Yu casually asked for some leftovers, and then got up and walked out of the restaurant, he and Zhang Xiaoqiang walked in front of the old beggar, he smiled and said: "Old man, these meals are still clean, eat them while they are hot!" ”
With that, he put the food in the old beggar's bowl.
"Thank you, thank you!" The old beggar smiled gratefully and thanked him constantly.
Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "It's just a gesture!" ”
Then he left with Zhang Xiaoqiang and did not look back.
The old beggar looked at the direction Guan Yu had left, smiled slightly, and all the food in the bowl disappeared suddenly, and he continued to beg.
Guan Yu and Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to their residence together, Zhang Xiaoqiang told Guan Yu that tomorrow he was going to hunt outside with a few acquaintances, hoping that Guan Yu could also participate, Guan Yu nodded and agreed.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang left, Guan Yu closed the door and walked out of the balcony by himself, waiting quietly.
The city guard camp was quite magical, it was impermeable but you could see the sky outside, and the afterglow of the evening gradually dissipated, the darkness gradually fell, and the lights began to light up in the city.
Although the last days are a disaster for mankind, it has to be said that it is a gospel for nature.
Without the waste emissions of various factory machinery of human beings, the sky is clearer, and the stars in the sky are clearly visible.
Guan Yu looked up at the starry sky, sitting cross-legged on the balcony, with no sorrow or joy in his heart, and a piece of tranquility.
After half an hour, Guan Yu looked at his side and said lightly: "You are finally here." ”
"Daoist friends invited, how can you not come?" The old beggar appeared in a ripple and smiled slightly.
The two exchanged names and began to talk.
This old beggar's name is He Baitong, he was a monk before the end of the world, but at that time he was actually just a pseudo-monk, swaggering and deceiving, and had no real skills.
But after the end of the world, he went through life and death several times, but instead realized the true meaning of the Buddhist sayings that he used to often hang in his mouth and deceive, and became a Buddha with an epiphany.
This is why there is now He Baitong.
Ordinary monks have a Dharma name, but he, a pseudo-monk, naturally does not, so the name given by his parents is also his Dharma name.
And although he had an epiphany of Buddhist scriptures, he now doesn't admit that he is a monk.
"To tell you the truth, old man, I never believed in gods and Buddhas before, and I have never believed in them after the end of the world, although the truth is the truth of Buddhism, but my understanding is my own understanding, which has nothing to do with those gods, gods, Buddhas and Buddhas." He Baitong replied after Guan Yu's question.
For example, what puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha on the spot, and what saves people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.
Everyone understands the truth, and everyone can say a few words casually.
But why do these people not become gods and become Buddhas?
He Baitong's way to become a god must be his own way.
In the "Diamond Sutra", there is a Rulai to ask Subodhi: "If you used to be in the Buddha Burning Lamp, did you gain anything from the Dharma?" ”
Subodhi's answer is that he has not attained any Dharma.
Everything has a promising law, it is all a dream bubble, so if you don't get the law, if you get the law, then if you get the law, then if you come to the law, then it's not like you!
In the Tao Te Ching, there is also a Tao that is Tao Ke Tao and is very Tao.
All the truths that can be said are not eternal truths.
Guan Yu's enlightenment is called great love, but if you really want to describe it in words, there is no way, this kind of mysterious and mysterious understanding, only you can understand.
And the same is true of He Baitong.
The two then had a casual conversation, and the topic was not serious.
He Baitong used to be a big liar who was swaggering and deceiving, he had been rolling in the rivers and lakes all his life, he had seen a lot of demons and monsters, and many words made Guan Yu feel a lot.
And Guan Yu's pursuit of Tao and understanding of love also made He Baitong deeply insightful, and the two confirmed each other.
"By the way, why do you beg here every day, is there any deep meaning?" Guan Yu chatted to the end, and couldn't help but ask He Baitong.
This question, he vaguely felt that it would help him.
He Baitong really laughed, and then replied: "What kind of begging, how have I ever begged?" ”
"Is it the practice of entering the WTO?" Guan Yu wondered.
He Baitong shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm giving alms!" ”
"Alms?" Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at He Baitong very puzzled, waiting for him to give him an answer.
If they are begging but they say they are almsgiving, are those who give alms really begging?
"You see, in these last days, the law no longer exists, the hearts of men are falling, the good thoughts in that person's heart are about to be completely extinguished, I am begging here in order to make people can inspire good thoughts, I am giving good thoughts!" He Baitong said solemnly.
Those who help him are helping themselves.
After listening to He Baitong's words, Guan Yu immediately realized a lot, and this truth was clear to the way of great love.
"Listening to the words of Taoist friends is better than reading for ten years and being taught!" He folded his hands and saluted slightly.
He Baitong said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's fate that we can meet in the vast sea of people, and it is also conducive to future cultivation by confirming each other, I think you are entering the world to practice, right?" ”
"Yes, I am now looking for my own way, and my current divine position is obtained by secret methods, not by my own comprehension." Guan Yu said truthfully.
He Baitong was slightly surprised, but then his expression recovered, and said: "It's good to enter the world and practice, but you have to be more careful, this zombie virus is not man-made, those zombies faintly contain a trace of divine power, I suspect that some gods did it, I am investigating this matter, remember to keep a low profile!" ”
"Well, I also sense that there is a divine power hidden in the corpses!" Guan Yu frowned slightly, nodded and agreed.
Originally, he was going to keep a low profile, after all, he was entering the WTO to practice, and he was too high-profile to practice a fart.
Next, the two left each other's contact information, and He Baitong took his leave.
After He Baitong left, Guan Yu closed his eyes and carefully recalled the conversation just now, and all kinds of feelings surged from his heart for a while.
Neither of them said anything, these feelings do not belong to He Baitong, but Guan Yu's own feelings.
Just like playing the piano to a cow, no matter how good your piano skills are, it has no effect.
It only makes sense to play the piano for those who understand.
If the two talk to an ordinary person, the other party will have a slight understanding at most, and it will not have any effect on the improvement of strength.
was speechless all night, and the next morning, Zhang Xiaoqiang's loud voice appeared outside Guan Yu's house, knocking on the door and shouting at Guan Yu.
He thought Guan Yu hadn't woken up yet.
Guan Yu came out of the meditation, walked directly to the door and opened the door, looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang without saying a word.
"Uh...... Hey, Brother Guan is early, I'm not afraid that you haven't woken up yet, hehe, let's go to breakfast together, and meet everyone by the way. Zhang Xiaoqiang swallowed his saliva, and then sneered.
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Then let's go!" ”
His cultivation has long allowed him not to have any dirt, so he doesn't need to take a shower, brush his teeth and wash his face.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took Guan Yu to a breakfast shop owned by a middle-aged man who had sacrificed an arm while on a mission to defend the city, and who he and his wife had partnered to run for a living.
"Everyone, let me introduce you, this is the big master Guan Yuguan, who will act with us today!" Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to a table where three young people were sitting and said loudly.
These three young men, two men and one woman.
The woman was about nineteen or twenty years old, and her expression was gloomy and very cold.
The two men are tall and short, the tall one has long hair, and the short one has a shaved head, which is very individual.
"Brother Guan, this big beauty is called Liu Meimei, this rich and handsome is called Liu Qing, and this dwarf winter melon is called Tang Ruibin." Zhang Xiaoqiang then laughed.
Guan Yu nodded to the three of them and said, "Hello everyone! ”
The three of them just nodded, not enthusiastic.
