Chapter 3: The Old Monk

――――――――――

"The nature of man is evil, and the good is hypocritical. The nature of today's people is born with good interests and obedience, so they strive to be born and give way to death; Born with disease and evil, obedient, so the thief is born faithful and perishable; Born with the desire of ears and eyes, with a good voice and lust, and obedient, so fornication is born and etiquette, righteousness, literature and science are dead. However, from the nature of human beings, the feelings of conforming to human beings will be out of contention, and they will be in harmony with the disorder and return to violence. Therefore, there will be the transformation of the teacher's law, the way of etiquette and righteousness, and then out of resignation, in line with the literature and science, and return to the rule. From this point of view, then the evil of human nature is obvious, and its good and false are also good."

Until now, Lin Fei has been able to put the original text of Xunzi's sexual evil theory "Xunzi Twenty-three? Sexual Evil" is ripe for the back.

I don't know why? Although I was so impressed by this article, I never agreed with what Xunzi and his old man said.

Naively, what he believes most until now is that "at the beginning of man, nature is good." ”

But good is not a matter of course, and evil is not predestined.

Just like now, the voice came from nowhere: "Someone's dead!" Someone died! ”

The commotion in the waiting hall became more and more noisy, and it was impossible to tell whether it was panic or curiosity

It's just that more and more travelers have begun to besiege the city at the site of the incident, a very big circle. In Lin Fei's view, that circle is the evil thoughts of human nature, and it is a place that is difficult for this group of people to cross in their lives.

Lin Fei jumped on top of a trash can, and the height made him clearly see what was going on inside?

"There's an old man dead!" The preconceived notion made too many people think that when they saw the old man's back again, they thought that he should be an old man, but no one dared to go up and take a closer look at what was going on?

Sad. In this world where you have to struggle with whether you can help the elderly when they fall. It's normal for them to think this way. But

What Lin Fei saw was not these.

At this moment, the crowd who circled the old man in a circle had more curiosity in their eyes than hesitation. Tangled.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that they retain their natural nature of loving onlookers and watching the excitement. There is also the fear and fear of death.

It is these that make them stand in a circle in the distance, and stop far outside the circle. It seemed to be blocked by the breath of death that could not be seen or touched. Turning a blind eye to the one in front of him, pretending to have nothing to do with him

With a sigh, Lin Fei jumped down from the top of the trash can and began to squeeze into the pile. He wanted to go through the circle and go to the old man to confirm the real situation again.

But he underestimated the nature of human beings to watch the excitement, they thought that Lin Fei also wanted to squeeze in to watch the excitement, and kept squeezing him outside, for fear of robbing him of the position of watching the show.

Inside the pile. Lin Fei squeezed from the left to the right, and then squeezed back to the middle. After going back and forth a few times, watching more and more people hugging and watching the excitement, the waiting hall was about to be filled, but there was no one in the circle around the old man!

Not a single one

"Get the fuck out of the way!"

Lin Fei was furious and roared angrily. It was the roar of a Buddhist lion, and the sound was like thunder, which shook the entire waiting hall and became silent in an instant

Everyone's eyes shifted from the old man to this young man with such a loud voice.

Oh, yes! Just a young lad!

Lin Fei's slightly childlike appearance made him fall into trouble again, a hanger. The fat, meaty guy pushed Lin Fei very much, but found that Lin Fei looked weak and nailed there like an iron nail, and the big man didn't move when he pushed it.

The meaty-faced guy saw that he had lost some face, and immediately began to verbally attack: "Who the are you?" What's the hell about this? ”

Lin Fei's eyes are like torches. The flames in his eyes felt like they were about to burst out at all times, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, almost gritting his teeth and glaring at the guy with a meaty face: "Police! ”

The meaty-faced guy snorted. Very disdainful, he said, "You cops? Am I still the chief of police? ”

The onlookers next to him didn't think what Lin Fei said was true, and they all started to coax. Pointing at Lin Fei's nose, he said, "What's wrong with the police?" The police are amazing, huh? ”

The guy with a full face watched more and more people support him, and his courage grew. Said to Lin Fei: "If you are a policeman, take out your ID and let Lao Tzu take a look!" ”

"Papers, huh?"

Lin Fei snorted coldly, and a trace of murderous aura inadvertently flashed in his eyes.

Then the left hand took out the police ID card from the pocket, and then the right hand

Hum

A gun was pulled out and put directly on the big man's head: "You fucking want evidence from me, right?" ”

The police officer card may only prove that Lin Fei is a police officer. But the appearance of the gun instantly brought the noisy atmosphere in the waiting hall to an abrupt end

The big man saw that Lin Fei was fierce at the moment, and it seemed that he was going to shoot the next moment, and he immediately softened.

A pair of legs were very useless, and he fell to the ground in an instant

"Big brother, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, you have spared me a lot, right?" Then he knelt there with tears and fear, begging for mercy.

Lin Fei roared in a deep voice: "Get out!" ”

It's hard to imagine how that guy managed to squeeze his fat body into the crowd and disappear without a trace in an instant.

Watching the big man leave, Lin Fei looked at the old man, and his sight was still not blocked by a bunch of people.

They looked at Lin Fei coldly at the moment, either surprised or frightened.

With Lin Fei's roar: "Get out of the fuck for me!" ”

A very wide road was instantly made out of the crowd, allowing Lin Fei to walk over.

For a while, no one stood in the same way that Lin Fei had walked by

At this time, the staff at the station also came, and according to the procedure, Lin Fei had to communicate with them first if he wanted to check the old man's body. Lin Fei walked over. found a director in charge and said politely: "Hello comrade." I am Lin Fei, a forensic doctor from the North District Bureau of Chengnan City. I'm out on the field, and I'm passing through here."

After the cause and purpose of the future have been said once. The owner was worried and called the police. Haven't you arrived until now? Now when I heard that a policeman was coming, and just now I saw his fierce and domineering appearance in the crowd, I knew at a glance that he was not the master to be messed with.

Since he is a policeman, it doesn't matter if he is a forensic doctor or a man, let him check if he wants to check.

While walking over with Lin Fei, he said: "This has been called to the police for a long time and still hasn't come over!" What's going on? ”

Lin Fei didn't have the heart to listen to the director's broken thoughts, but walked to the old man's side step by step

Seeing that the old man's stiff head and neck had fallen to the shoulders on the side, if he hadn't supported it with his shoulders at this moment, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground with an unstable center of gravity. Look at the skin on the back of the palm of the hand, which has completely lost its vitality. There was a dryness. For these alone, Lin Fei had already determined that the old man might really be gone, but he couldn't help but take out the white gloves he carried with him and put them on

First bowed to the old man, apologized and said something? Then he checked the old man's neck and eyes, then took off his gloves and felt his pulse, and put his ears to the old man's heart to listen

The pulse is gone, and the heartbeat has stopped

Death crept in and took away an old man in his sleep. Only a physical body was left helpless in this bustling bus shelter.

"Already Dead"

Lin Fei sighed silently, his eyes drooped slowly, as rigid as reporting work, and said without any energy: "The time of death is about three hours before now. It's half past eight, that is, around half past five. ”

He then asked the director if there were any witnesses at that time.

The director said that it was a young man who found out first. It's just that if you look around now, you must have left. Most of the time it's a responsibility to run away.

Lin Fei told the director: "The old man died a normal death, help notify his family to claim the body!" ”

But the director was very embarrassed and said, "We don't have the contact information of his family?" ”

Lin Fei sighed helplessly: Is it not? Or didn't you look for it at all?

Turn around. A plausible contact information was found in the pocket of the old man's clothes. I handed it over to the director and was contacted soon. He said he would come right away

After Lin Fei watched the director finish doing this, he immediately turned around and continued to look at the old man. Silently

At this time, there seemed to be another bustling sound in the crowd, and Lin Fei looked over curiously.

But I saw that the crowd once again made a way, and slowly walked over an old monk who was about fifty years old.

The old monk walked calmly in front of Lin Fei, and nodded towards Lin Fei: "Amitabha, Mr. Police Officer." My Buddhism pays attention to the dead. He has always paid attention to cause and effect, and today the old benefactor unfortunately went west here and happened to let the old monk meet again, this is the cause; I have gone over for this old benefactor, and this is the result. So please allow me to do a simple transcendence ceremony for this old benefactor! ”

The old monk's words were earnest, and Lin Fei was in a trance and a feeling of emotion came to his heart.

It turns out that the world is not blindly "people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining".

It turns out that there is still a lot of positive energy in this world

Lin Fei took a step back and let the old monk walk forward. Then everything was left into the hands of the old monk

I saw the old monk raise his hand, gently hold the old man's right hand, close his eyes and ears, as if listening to the old man's residual voice after his death.

Lin Fei has followed Yanting to learn some simple basic skills of Buddhism, and he has also seen a lot of views on life and death in Buddhism in the classics. One of the passages roughly says: "If a person dies in his sleep, he cannot be said to have died peacefully, nor has he been "bedtime at the end of his life." Because his consciousness, that is, the subconscious mind, only thinks that he is just asleep and does not realize the fact that he is dead, his soul will fall into a state of confusion, confusion and powerlessness. After a period of time, when he really realizes the fact that he has died, he will have a lot of regrets, unwillingness, regrets and other thoughts because he did not confess his last words and did not see his relatives and friends for the last time. Eventually, these thoughts may translate into intense anger and sadness, which is known as resentment. ”

"Therefore, Buddhist monks pray for those who die in such situations to appease their souls who may be resentful, and to send them into the cycle of birth and death with the power of the scriptures and the Dharma, and to pray that they will reach the Pure Land of Rebirth and be reincarnated."

Lin Fei saw the fearlessness of a master in the old monk's body, and at the same time, he could also see his own inner peace.

When the breath of death enveloped the entire waiting hall and made everyone panic and hungry, the compassionate and kind face of the old monk brought a trace of warmth to the waiting hall and dispelled the panic and fear brought by death.

Gradually, some people began to dare to step into this circle, slowly approaching here, wanting to see this old man who died here unexpectedly leave

When Lin Fei saw this, he suddenly smiled, looked around, and said to himself: "Xunzi, you are wrong"

After the old monk had finished listening, he was ready to sit cross-legged on the cold ground in front of the old man.

Lin Fei originally planned to take out his clothes and let the old monk pad them underneath, but when he took off his clothes, he stopped again.

What did he suddenly remember? The old monk said silently: "Thank you for the kindness of the donor, the old monk understands it." But this is a little disrespectful to the old benefactor."

Lin Fei put his clothes back on, and then heard the old monk begin to read silently: "If there are people in the future life, there is not enough food and clothing, the seeker is obedient, or there are many illnesses, or many fierce decay, the family is restless, the family is scattered, or all kinds of troubles, there are many grievances, and there is a lot of horror between sleep."

"If sentient beings in future lives, etc., dream or sleep, see all the ghosts and gods and all kinds of forms, or sorrow or cry, or sorrow or sigh, or fear or fear. These are all lifetimes, ten lives, hundreds of lives, thousands of lives, parents, male and female sisters, husbands and wives, and their dependents, who are in the evil taste, have not yet been separated, and have nowhere to hope for blessings to be saved.

After hearing the old monk recite a paragraph, Lin Fei muttered to himself: "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra? ”

I watched the old monk sit there calmly and motionless, quietly finishing the scriptures.

He got up and bowed to the old man again, and then turned around.

Lin Fei hurriedly bowed to the old monk and said sincerely: "Thank you, master!" ”

The old monk nodded towards Lin Fei with a smile, and then walked towards the crowd

The crowd automatically made way for the old monk, and everyone bowed slightly to the old monk in unison.

At this moment, Lin Fei didn't know how to feel?

I just know that the psychological face is warm

Lin Fei smiled and said: "Let them understand the truth of cause and effect, break through confusion and enlightenment, and eliminate karma." The living can be peaceful and worry-free; The dead can be reborn in Western Bliss! ”

sighed: "No wonder there are more and more people believing in Buddhism now"

Then he couldn't help but bow in the direction where the old monk had left. (To be continued......)
