The four of them walked on the streets of the wooden house area, and a disgusting smell came, and several people frowned and followed the smell.

On the corner of the street, a skinny beggar was huddled there.

He was already dead, and his body was faintly stinking, but strangely enough, there was no pain on his face, but a smile on his face, not like death, but like something that had been extremely happy.

Everyone only felt disobedient in their hearts, and looked around, and passers-by turned a blind eye to the corpse of the beggar on the street corner.

Most of these people had greasy, dirty, messy hair, and looked like withered hair, but they had a satisfied smile on their faces.

If you look closely, you can see that this smile is exactly the same as the smile on the face of a beggar who starved to death on a street corner.

This extremely strange scene made several people shudder.

"Brother Wang, the situation is not right, wait for me to test it!"

As he spoke, the old man of the Lu family stretched out his hand to stop a passer-by and asked:

"Hey, this little brother, there are dead people there, you don't deal with it, and you're still laughing here, what are you laughing at?"

The passer-by trembled, snorted, the smile on his face retracted, glanced at Master Lu, and said angrily:

"Go, go, where did you come from, bad old man, talking nonsense? Where are the dead people, I ask you where are the dead people? ”

"Isn't that right?" Master Lu pointed to the corpse of a beggar on the street.

"Fart, he's gnawing on chicken legs there!" The man said with a determined face.

"You say he's nibbling on a chicken leg?" Master Lu looked surprised, how could he talk nonsense with his eyes open?

"It's not gnawing on chicken legs, it's gnawing on your legs? Now that the war is over, everyone has land, everyone can eat enough, there is meat at every meal, and the beggars on the street are starving to death. The man said.

The war is over, and there is land and meat...... This made Master Lu stunned for a moment, what kind of talk about it all night, making fun of the old man?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, the old lady next to him pulled him and stopped him, then looked at the man and said with a smile:

"I see, we are from out of town, and we don't know anything about this place, can you explain it to us?"

"You find someone else, I'm going to go to the fine street for afternoon tea, but I don't have time to talk about this with you!"

The man looked impatient, and after speaking, he walked straight forward without waiting for a few people to reply.

After taking a few steps, the impatience on his face disappeared, and he returned to his previous eerie smile and disappeared around the corner.

Master Lu pointed at the man: "Brother Wang, this ......"

"There's something wrong with their cognition!" Another old man of the Lu family, another of the four, said.

"Maybe it's not a matter of cognition!"

Old lady Wang said, and then he stopped another passer-by and asked the same question as Master Lu, but the answer was that the beggar was sleeping.

In order to support his point of view, passers-by even walked up to the corpse, greeted the corpse, and said a few words in a decent manner.

Perhaps it was smoked by the smell of corpses, but the man quickly walked back with an ugly face and a curse.

He told Mrs. Wang and the others that the other party was sleeping, and he went to greet the other party, and he was murdered.

After saying that, he walked away with an angry face, and after walking a distance, the anger on his face disappeared, and he smiled again.

"What they see...... It's not the same as what we see! Master Lu reacted.

Old lady Wang said: "It's not so much that they see the difference, but that they are all immersed in their own imaginations, and the previous person likes to eat, so in his eyes, the starving beggar on the street is eating and drinking, and he is also going to have afternoon tea." ”

"Actually, he has a yellow face and thin muscles, and he shouldn't be able to eat enough, where can he get afternoon tea?"

"As for what everyone has land, it's even more nonsense, at present, the land around here has been divided by several big landowners, and wherever they have land, they are all contract laborers."

"The same is true of the other man, except that he may prefer to sleep, so the starving beggar is sleeping in his eyes."

"But at the same time, they can also rationalize some things that are not very good in a way that conforms to their own logic, as if he was smoked by the smell of corpses, but he said that he was insulted for disturbing the other party's sleep."

After listening to Mrs. Wang's analysis, Mr. Lu said:

"But they don't see that we've changed much, why is that?"

Old lady Wang thought for a while and said: "You have found that the things they imagine are all bad, and the few of us, glamorous, maybe in their eyes, are beautiful things, no need to speculate, so it is the way the thing itself." ”

"Imagine all bad things as good...... Master Lu reacted: "This is the effect of this feng shui qi game inside?" ”

"It should be!" Old Lady Wang said: "If you guess correctly, this Feng Shui Qi Bureau should only be for ordinary people, and it will not work for aliens like us. ”

Master Lu glanced at the beggar who died with a smile on the side of the road, and he didn't know what this person saw before he died, but being able to die like this can be regarded as a kind of comfort, no matter how good it is better than the cold reality.

He sighed and felt something: "These people have lived so miserably, this feng shui situation, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for them!" ”

"No, this is a bad thing, a big bad thing, this move is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst, what is the difference between it and the big smoke houses that are everywhere outside? Completely killed hope. ”

Old lady Wang shook her head, put her hands behind her back, and walked forward with a frown.

Seeing this, a few people in the back hurriedly followed.

Along the way, the passers-by smiled almost numbly, and the four of them did not make a sound and came to a courtyard.

Unlike the surrounding wooden houses, this is a mud house, and the walls are covered with dry creepers, and from the cobweb-like roots, you can see the cracked walls inside, giving the illusion that the wall will collapse in the next second.

Standing outside the door, you can hear the sound of immature reading coming from inside:

"Even if there is no old age and death, there is no old age and death, there is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, there is no wisdom and there is no gain, and there is no ...... to gain"

"Chanting the Buddha and preaching?" Master Lu looked at Mrs. Wang: "I don't understand a big man, Brother Wang, you have always worshiped Buddha and have a deep understanding of Buddhism, what is this talking about?" ”

Mrs. Wang said: "This is the Buddhist "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", which was written by Bodhidharma, the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and the version we hear now is translated by the first ancestor of the Faxiangzong, Master Tang Xuanzang. ”

"The meaning of this passage is that until there is no old age and death, there is no end to old age and death, there is no collection of sufferings and disillusionment of monasticism, and there is no wisdom to force it, so it doesn't matter whether you get it or not......"

The chanting in the room continued, and the old lady Wang also followed the chanting to explain.

After listening to Mrs. Wang's explanation, Master Lu was thoughtful.

He couldn't help but think of the people he had met along the way, with strange smiles on their faces and falling into his own imagination.

At this moment, the chanting sound in the house suddenly rose up, and it was clearly audible outside:

"Revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth of the Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Bha."

After this sentence was recited, the chanting stopped abruptly.

Old Lady Wang explained: "The meaning of this sentence is, go, go, go to the other side, everyone go to the other side and achieve positive results!" ”

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a group of children in tattered clothes came out, with smiles on their faces, and when they saw the four people standing at the door, the children stopped and saluted respectfully.

Wang Lu and the four of them were stunned for a moment, their hearts seemed to be touched, and they also greeted them, and then, in the old grandfather's goodbye, the children gradually drifted away.

Seeing the children leave, Wang Lu and the four looked into the courtyard and saw two people standing inside.

One of them, with bright eyes, a red scarf, a wolf tail tied behind his back, a rosacea, and a treacherous face, is undoubtedly Yuan Jingui.

The other person, about 1.7 meters, medium stature, even in winter, was wearing a single coat, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, gray hair, uncarnied, messy, the cold wind blew, like weeds swaying in the strong wind.

His eyes were cloudy, and with his whole image, except that he didn't have that weird smile on his face, he was just like those ordinary people outside.

The man said lightly: "There is a guest coming to the door, Xiaoyuan, go make a cup of hot tea." ”

"Okay, Senior Wu!"

Yuan Jingui said with a smile, and immediately went to make tea, and soon, the tea was brewed, not a good tea, just ordinary Mindu white tea, silver and white, yellow and bright soup, fresh and delicious taste, clearing heat and reducing fire.

The silver-white tea leaves swirled in the tea cup, and Wu Man pointed to the tea cup:

"Listening to what this old gentleman just said, it seems that he is proficient in Buddhism, and in my life, the person who values the Buddha the most, why not come and sit and talk about the Buddha?"

"You ......"

Old Man Lu frowned, and was about to speak, but Old Lady Wang reached out and pressed his shoulder, pressed down, and signaled him not to speak yet.

Master Lu swallowed the words that came to his lips and looked at Mrs. Wang.

I saw that the old lady Wang walked up to the other party, stared at it, and said: "Three times as a monk, three times as a vulgar, and finally fell into the inexplicable monk Wu Man?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Man nodded.

Old lady Wang remembered what she had seen along the way, so she asked, "Is the feng shui qi bureau shrouded here your arrangement?" ”

"Yes!"

"What do you intend to do?"

Wu Man said: "The Buddha said in the Nirvana Sutra: If you do not have anger in all sentient beings, but wish to be happy with others, it is called charity. ”

"The Buddha also said that generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, meditation, and prajna are the six degrees of Dharma practice, and among the six degrees, generosity is the first, so I am giving charity!"

The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth grinned, as if she had heard some ridiculous joke:

"You call your current behavior charity, charity, this is simply a ridiculous joke!"

Wu Man was unaffected, and continued to say calmly: "The Buddha said that there are three kinds of giving. ”

"Giving clothes, money, and medicine to others is an external almsgiving."

"To completely purify one's troubles is to give from within."

"And if it is to give people spiritual and even life comfort and support, it is fearless generosity."

"This act of mine is the third and most precious form of fearless charity, which is an immeasurable merit."

Before, Mrs. Wang only thought that the person in front of him was telling jokes, but now, he felt that this person was a madman.

Suddenly, he remembered the comments given to this person in the small inn of the rivers and lakes, read a lot of books, and all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist principles came as soon as he opened his mouth, but he seemed to have an obsession in his heart, even if he became a monk three times and returned to the world three times, he still couldn't resolve it, so he fell into the whole nature in a fit of anger.

Although I don't know what his obsession is, this open-mouthed Buddhist sutra and closed-mouthed Buddhist principle is a fact.

Old lady Wang shouted: "Arrange the illusion array, let them indulge in the illusion, and slowly die like a frog boiled in warm water, you call this immeasurable merit, you are clearly murdering!" ”

Facing the reprimand of the old lady Wang, Wu Man was unmoved, and said lightly:

"The Yuanjue Sutra says: All sentient beings are in lifelessness, and they see birth and death in vain, so it is said that the name is reincarnated in life and death, and this sentence means that the real life is born without birth, and it is lifeless."

No ...... Old lady Wang pondered Wu Man's words.

Master Lu next to him couldn't help but shout: "God chatter, what do you want to say?" ”

Wu Man said: "The Buddha said: life is death, death is life, life and death are changes in phenomena, our true self that is not born and does not die is not in this life and death, you must be able to find this true life, you can live and die." ”

"And my move is to temper the people here and find their true lives for them."

Speaking of Buddhism, Wu Man is no longer introverted, and the divine light in his eyes bursts out little by little, and the brightness is terrifying.

The tone of his speech is also getting faster: "The Buddha said that there is no mind outside the body and there is no enchantment. ”

"The meaning of this sentence is that if our current body is fake, just a tool that we have borrowed temporarily, and borrowed it from our parents for decades, it will really be unintentional."

"What do you mean by being unintentional? All delusions are ignored, it is originally a ripple on the water, so why bother with it? If we don't understand the nature of our mind, and if we don't understand that our thoughts and feelings are as false as the ripples on the water, we will be deceived by the ripples on the water and forget the nature of our water. ”

"If you forget your own nature, it's like being dizzy when you go on stage to sing and sing, thinking that you are a person in the play, and you can't get off the stage, you can only sink in the sea of suffering, just like the people in this wooden house area, you can't live a miserable life, this is easy to get on stage, but difficult to get off the stage."

"But all this is obsession, they can't see themselves clearly, and they can't get the real bliss, I let them see the truest thoughts in their hearts, walk down from the theater of the sea of suffering, enjoy the bliss they have never enjoyed, see the truest selves, let them find their true selves."

"Now that you have found your true self, what does it matter between life and death? Everyone dies, and some need a little help. ”

"I'm helping them achieve positive results, I'm crossing them to the other side!"

Wu Man looked at everyone with burning eyes, his face was compassionate and compassionate, his voice seemed to have an echo, constantly overlapping in everyone's ears, high and low, the combination of the three actually gave people a sense of hideous and terrifying.
