Chapter 13: Release

"Amitabha, move lightly, be careful." A woman of her age who had been Aunt Roach read after his ass.

"Hey, hey." Roach was a little sad as he had just helped someone carry a large woven bag out of the trunk of his car. "What's in there? How can the soft ones still move? ”

"Young man, can you live without moving, if you die, it won't be called release."

Roach felt the dynamics of the heavy object in his arms, and his scalp exploded, "Don't be a snake, right?" ”

Aunt smiled compassionately, "All beings are equal, what's wrong with snakes?" Besides, the snake is the most spiritual, and the merit accumulated by releasing the snake is the most! ”

"Ahh

Guan Xinyue watched the excitement and was so happy, she was watching from the sidelines like Du Zhengyi, just watching Luo Qi busy helping the layman unload the goods. When the convoy came just now, they saw a few monks coming out of the room at the back.

Guan Xinyue carefully walked behind Luo Qi, and said with a smile, "The Buddha said cause and effect, you helped save the snake in this Buddhist temple today, how much fate does this have?" The history is compiled on the Sansheng Stone, maybe your wife in the next life is in this bag, you can be careful, don't hurt her. ”

Luo Qi was already busy sweating profusely, but now that he listened to her words, his face turned green, "Shut up, why are you so mean, you must have been a woodpecker in your previous life." ”

The aunt who released the life laughed when she heard it, and accompanied the little girl to amuse, "What the girl said is not wrong, the six realms of reincarnation, who can tell the past and present lives clearly?" You look at it as a snake in this life and dislike it, and in the next life it may be a beauty, and after marrying you, you dislike it at home every day and make less money, will you be retributed? ”

Luo Qi shuddered, looked helpless, and shouted accusatorily, "Auntie! ”

Guan Xinyue covered her face and almost laughed.

Du Zhengyi also listened to the words of several of them with interest, and gradually understood a little bit about the way of cause and effect reincarnation they said, thought about it for a while and asked the most practical question. "Now that the temperature is so low and the snow hasn't melted, can the released snake survive?"

"Why can't you live?" The aunt said without even hesitating, and glared at him by the way. "When they are in the mountains, they will find a warm place to burrow in the soil, and snakes are meant to hibernate, you know? Don't look at the snow all over the mountains now, and the mud under the snow is warm. Have you ever seen a frog? Aren't they all hibernating? So a small frog can survive the harsh winter, how can a snake be so spiritual? ”

Du Zhengyi laughed when he heard it, "This is indeed the truth, I have seen it for a long time today." Auntie specially came here to release the life, also because I heard that this temple is the most spiritual? I also want to accumulate some merit and make a wish in this temple, I wonder if I should also be released first? ”

Luo Qi glanced at him, secretly thinking that he was still worried, but he didn't expect that Du Zhengyi's interaction in the crowd seemed to be no obstacles. Thinking about it and looking at Guan Xinyue again, the woodpecker girl was really a psychic, and she didn't intervene at this time, she lowered her head with a smile and seemed to be a little well-behaved, in fact, she didn't have to guess to know that she was listening attentively.

Auntie's heart is dedicated to the great cause of releasing life, and there is no extra mind to discover their complex hearts, and when I heard that a few young people were interested in my Buddha, they immediately became like a pot of coals. "Why didn't you come here on a driving tour? Also for this Pure Land Temple? ”

"Yes." Du Zheng replied, he was a little older, he spoke calmly in front of people, and his aunt's attitude when talking to him was indeed much more serious than that of Luo Qi. He pointed to Guan Xinyue, "This is the granddaughter of our old neighbor, her hometown is in this village, and she mentioned to us a while ago that the temple here is particularly effective." It just so happens that we have something on our minds, and it's okay to catch up with the weekend, so I'll take my brother over for a walk. ”

"Oh, that's no wonder." The aunt nodded and said, "I'm a foreigner, but I only learned about this place after listening to my senior brother." Ouch tells you that although this temple is small, it is actually no worse than the ancient temple of Lingshan. ”

Roach laughed when he heard this, "So I can still save it?" I'm going to go to the wall inside and write a wish - just pass the exam! ”

Du Zheng glanced at him, "Are you still thinking about this?" Auntie, look at my brother, tiger-headed, isn't it quite cute? ”

Luo Qi is shocked, this bastard is actually cute!

The aunt also looked at Luo Qi and smiled, her eyes like looking at her own teenager. "Young man, it's useless to write this wish on the wall."

"Huh?" Rocky thought that people were deliberately teasing him, "Why? ”

The aunt smiled, but her pious and generous face revealed a hint of weirdness, and she mysteriously lowered her voice and said, "Because the wishes on the wall are written for people to do." ”

"What?" Roach exclaimed, "What do you mean?" ”

"Is it because releasing life is accumulating virtue, and helping others is even more accumulating virtue?" Du Zhengyi said suddenly.

"Ouch," sighed the aunt, "you kid is really wise." That's it. If we talk about it, releasing life is still a small success, and helping talents is the foundation of merit. ”

Roach glanced at him. He didn't believe that Du Zhengyi could have any wisdom, it was because he didn't know anything about Buddhism, so he would take it for granted. In terms of what Luo Qi knows, since Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings and the six realms of reincarnation, it will not regard helping others as higher than releasing lives.

Probably anyone who believes in something will spare no effort to preach, and when he meets Luo Qi, who seems to be particularly unteachable, the fighting spirit of the aunt is more and more stimulated, and the three juniors are painted and passed on the master's usual teachings.

It turns out that the wishes written on the walls of the temple are written for other people to see, and the color of the beads tied to the wish book indicates the size of the wish. The largest and most difficult wish is at the top, stringed with red sandalwood beads, and the lowest wish at the bottom row, stringed with ivory white Buddha beads. Those who want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue can go here and pick up and look at them at will, and when they meet their wish that they have the fate to fulfill, they will take off the beads on their heads, and then return the beads to the Master after doing good deeds. The master in this temple knew how much merit each person had done by looking at the color of the beads, and recorded the depth of their good fortune to the believers one by one on the general ledger of the temple.

At the beginning, people who came to the temple first had to copy the scriptures and meditate, so that they were eligible to receive a string of Buddha beads of the lightest color. Then there is the process of accumulating good karma, and you can first pick the wish that you can do on the wall to achieve. If you are too weak to succeed in other people's business, you can also choose to be released. But the birds and beasts are definitely not as fast as the good causes accumulated by the people. But in short, the more good deeds you do, the greater the good fortune you will accumulate, and the greater your wishes can be made on the wall.

"It's a good way to teach people to be good." Du Zhengyi said quietly.

"No, the master in this temple speaks the most clearly. I've talked to other masters before, and I can't be as clear as what is said here, nor can I be as compassionate as the master here. Aunt said with emotion.

Guan Xinyue couldn't help it, "That's what you mean?" So what if someone makes a wish that hurts nature and reason? ”

"Amitabha," the aunt immediately recited a sentence of Buddha and looked at the little girl, "In front of the Buddha, who dares to make a wish to hurt heaven and reason?" Don't drink porridge anymore? ”

Luo Qi slapped his face with a grin and slapped him, "Auntie, just say it, if I want to pass the exam, what should I do?" My wish is much better than the wish of asking for mobile phones and celebrity autographed photos all over the wall. ”

Auntie's eyes are much more festive when she looks at him, he doesn't have a strong personality, he has a good temper, he is very harmonious in everything, and he is very pleasing to the elders wherever he goes. "If the wish and merit are so great that they can't even hold up the wall, then you will have the opportunity to meet the Guru. There used to be a wealthy merchant who was like this, and as soon as he came, he fulfilled all the wishes on the wall that could be fulfilled with money, and at once he accumulated the qualifications to meet the guru. ”

Roach laughed, "This proves another truth, all wishes that can be solved with money are not called wishes." ”

"And what does he want?" Guan Xinyue asked.

The aunt thought for a while, "I heard that it seems to be trying to treat insomnia." ”

Luo Qi laughed, and was about to say something, but was slapped by Du Zhengyi and slapped back.

The goods on the cars of other people were also unloaded, and several young monks came to organize everyone to go to the back mountain to release them, and the aunt also hurried over. Ever since Roach heard that the woven bag contained a snake, he refused to stretch out his hand again, and his aunt did not force him, and together with a few younger believers, he helped each other to go to the mountains.

Du Zheng glanced at their backs and subconsciously shook his head.

"Don't worry." Roach was rubbing his hands desperately on his pants, as if this would erase the touch of the snake he had touched, "Those snakes don't survive the winter here, even if they are venomous, they won't bite the villagers." ”

"How do you know?" Du Zheng asked with a frown.

"The woven bag has a mailing label on it, and it was mailed from Guangzhou." Luo Qi said, wiping his hands fiercely, "They can really make trouble, deliberately bought snakes from the subtropics and threw them into this ice and snow, and said that they were released?" The bag of snakes is not sure how to curse. ”

"You're pretty smart sometimes." Guan Xinyue smiled, "Are you so afraid of snakes?" ”

"Ha-ha-" Luo Qi laughed dryly, turned around and urged Du Zhengyi with a lively face, "Let's go, copy the scriptures!" ”

"Is it really copying?" Guan Xinyue was a little confused, "Then when will you be able to finish copying?" ”

"What are you anxious about?" Luo Qi said, "After copying the scriptures, you have to accumulate merit." What else do you say? You've got you to show us the way. If you have any other clues, you can provide them quickly, and we won't be here to waste. ”

Guan Xinyue didn't have a way, and looked at Du Zhengyi without objecting, so she had to follow stupidly.

There were two monks in the apse of the small temple to receive them, and they didn't say much when they asked what they meant, but led them to the side hall, presented them with paper and pen, and left. It seems that I am accustomed to all kinds of incense customers, and I think there are indeed many people who come and go. The two monks are not very old, they are rarely spoken, if they have to talk to them, they are also very clumsy to deal with them, it takes a long time to say nothing, and often answer the question.

So Luo Qi chatted with them for a few words and knew that it was useless, and he reluctantly sighed that the little monk in the monk temple was really simple. Of course, it may also be like Guan Xinyue pointed out - "It's that the IQ is too low, and the threshold of this temple is really low." ”

The work of copying the scriptures is not too heavy, and the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra has been rolled into a volume several times, and it is still a red base, so that Guan Xinyue can also use a brush, but it is slow to write. Du Zhengyi is the foundation of a standard mage, and the brush is no different from the fountain pen, although he sighed when he picked up the brush, but it didn't delay his pen to go to the dragon and snake, and he almost didn't have to take care of the red painting on his head so much.

Luo Qi glanced at Du Zhengyi's speed of writing, then put down his pen, and walked around the house impatiently several times, fiddling around. Guan Xinyue despised his lazy behavior very much, and insisted on sharing work fairly and justly. But Du Zhengyi's tolerance for Luo Qi has always been relatively high, and he doesn't pay much attention to him. Luo Qi saw that the great god had always been concentrating on copying the scriptures, and where did he still put Guan Xinyue's chirping in his eyes, so he raised his feet and went out for a walk. I didn't come back until half an hour later, and when I came back, I sat down opposite Guan Xinyue again, took out a bag of potato chips and ate them.

Guan Xinyue was provoked like a cat with a cocked back, but Luo Qi was too thick-skinned, she already knew that she couldn't get any pleasure from scolding him, so she turned her head and went to scold Du Zhengyi. "Can you take care of him? What is his relationship with you? Your assistant? Schoolmate? Is it really your brother? Who can control him? ”

Du Zhengyi lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Luo Qi, who was looking at him tentatively with round eyes, and a thick-cut potato chip in his mouth.

"He's my mascot. Don't mess with him, you can't use it in case it's unlucky. ”

"What do you mean?" Guan Xinyue lowered her voice in annoyance and shouted.

"It's like a pet." Du Zhengyi said, lowered his head and continued to be busy copying the scriptures, "I just adopted it into my hands, and it is still in the run-in period, so it is useless for you to spray me, it will take a few days to domesticate him." ”

Guan Xinyue blinked, a little speechless. Luo Qi was already numb to Du Zhengyi's statement, so he seemed very indifferent, and he seemed particularly shameless, inciting Guan Xinyue even more annoyance in vain. Roach also handed her a plate of chocolate, "Have a sweet tooth, is the great aunt here?" So impetuous? ”

Guan Xinyue took a deep breath, looking like she was about to breathe fire.

Only then did Du Zhengyi intervene and ask Luo Qi calmly, "You went out to earn a circle, do you have any other gains besides eating?" ”

Roach crushed the potato chips in his mouth, "Did you bring any money when you came?" ”
