Jin Shengshui laughed and said to the old man, "Everyone has promised you, why are you still so sad?"

"Don't be dissatisfied, you want more, right?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "You guys, you don't know what's going on."

"In fact, the first people to seek high monks were only the most devout believers."

"Most people are self-aware, so what does it have to do with us when people cultivate to become Buddhas?"

"Let's run over without our own strength, isn't that self-inflicted?"

"But when they went, they died in the temple."

"When they were dying, they all left handwritten letters to their families. Roughly speaking, they have been supported by the eminent monks and forcibly completed their merits."

"Now leave behind the stinky skin and become an immortal."

"Suddenly, so many people died at once, which alarmed the government, so the government sent people to investigate."

"As a result, I checked and checked, and I didn't find anything suspicious, and these dead people also underwent autopsies, and they really meditated cross-legged and then died of natural causes."

"It's just that when the official wanted to interrogate the eminent monk, they found that the eminent monk had disappeared."

"In the end, the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas was sealed."

"The monk is gone, the temple is sealed, and a lot of people have died here."

"I don't know what's going on, all of a sudden, the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas has become a murderous mansion."

"No one dared to approach during the day, and no one came at night."

"But something strange happened, you said that no one came, and every once in a while in the village, people entered the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and then meditated cross-legged, and died inside."

[In view of the general environment,

"After a long time, the villagers muttered, saying that this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is a bit evil, and it really can't be demolished."

"But everyone is talking about joy, but in fact, no one dares to do it."

"Good guy, this is the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, there are so many Buddhas in it, if this is demolished, the gods and Buddhas will blame it, who will take care of it?"

"Besides, the high monk in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, who knows where he went? Maybe you will really become a Buddha."

"This might be his dojo."

"If you tear down the Buddha's dojo, won't you have to go to the eighteenth layer of hell in the future?"

"So, the temple remained. People in the village kept coming in and dying."

"After a long time, you can walk, and if you die, there will be no one in the village."

"Later, the houses in the village also collapsed, and the homestead was covered with weeds and old trees, and nothing could be seen."

"Only this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, it's good to stay here."

I was confused and said, "That's it? Then don't you wonder why so many people go to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas to seek death?"

"Don't you want to figure it out?"

The old man laughed and said, "I want to understand, I want to figure it out, how can I not want to?"

"But...... We're just a bunch of ordinary people, and even if we want to figure it out, we don't have that intelligence."

"But at that time, there was a teacher in the village who went to school."

"He gave an analysis and said that this suicide was very likely to be contagious."

I was speechless: "Is this thing still contagious?"

The old man snorted, "Because this teacher analyzed that it was a person who committed suicide first, and then it was this person's family who committed suicide."

"Then there are the relatives and friends of each family member. From intimacy to estrangement, it spreads little by little, like an infectious disease, and the more it spreads, the more people it spread."

I snorted and said, "Hearing you say that, it's a bit like a contagion."

"But suicide is contagious?"

The old man sighed, "It's hard to say whether it was suicide or not."

"I thought I wouldn't know why for the rest of my life.

But when I was forty years old, I stumbled upon the truth."

We all leaned forward, and we were curious.

The old man said, "That year, when I was a child, I also went in to become a Buddha."

"On the night of the first seven days of my hair, I couldn't sleep."

"There was always movement outside the window, sometimes the sound of birds, sometimes the sound of the wind, sometimes the sound of people walking, sometimes the sound of sighing."

"I slept in a daze until midnight, when I heard someone knock on my window."

"I sat up and looked, good fellow, isn't that my little hair?"

"When I was young, I said to me, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, I'm a god now."

"This person is so strange, afraid of ghosts and not afraid of immortals."

"I saw that Fa Xiao really became an immortal, so I was a little envious."

"Fa, it's cool to become an immortal, what do you want. Eat and drink without worry, ever-changing, immortal."

"In this world, there are always all kinds of troubles, especially for us poor people in the middle of nowhere. I have to calculate every day, how to save more money, how to marry a daughter-in-law, how to feed my wife and children, and how not to be bullied."

"Well, how can I say that? True to that sentence, all living beings are suffering, birth, old age, sickness and death, all are suffering."

"But I'm fa, as long as I'm a god, it's not a thing. When you become an immortal, all you have left is happiness."

"I couldn't help but feel a little tempted to hear it. Instead of living and suffering here, it is better to be a god."

"Fa Xiao said, if I agree, I will follow him, there is still a place today, and I don't know the Year of the Monkey when it is late."

"I'll go with him."

"When I arrived at the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, good fellow, my eyes saw that there were gods and Buddhas everywhere, and everyone was glowing with golden light. If you look closely, these gods and Buddhas are all villagers of our village."
