Chapter 47: The Past (1)
When Zhang Sangang wanted to step forward to offer condolences to Li Si, the entire space began to wrinkle and then cracked. The three of them fell into darkness, and after some time, the lively shouting was remembered in their ears.
"What's going on? Do you still want to change places to fight the boss?"
"No, don't you think this place looks like a town down the hill?" Shan Chanyu looked at the busy street with some solemnity.
"The building seems to be newer, could it be that this is the town of Qingshui before the plot began?"
As soon as the words fell, two young men wearing yellow Taoist robes and crowns on their heads passed by the two of them with their luggage.
"Senior brother, find a place to settle down, you must be tired after driving for so long. ”
"Fart, senior brother, you are too unkind, it is the same in front of all your senior brothers, everything is pushed on me, and now it's just the two of us, and you are still farting here. The young Taoist priest who was called his junior brother scolded.
"Hehe, junior brother. Or if you understand me, then I'm not welcome, junior brother, I'm tired, find a place to rest. ”
"Senior brother, do you have any money?"
"Gollum ~ Gollum. Their stomachs rang in unison.
"Senior brother doesn't have any money, and the master didn't give me money, how can I have it. ”
"What then?"
"Let's find out if there's anything to do, at least fill your stomach. ”
"But the master said he wouldn't let us make money with this. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, why don't you starve to death. Damn, can a living person suffocate urine? I really can't do it, I can only go and beg for a bowl of food, let's go. The two drifted apart, and soon disappeared from their eyes.
"Why are you still stunned, catch up. Zhang San looked at the two of them with some discouragement.
"Boss, if this is already happening, it can't be changed unless it is at some great cost, because it has already been determined, it is a certainty.
That's why there is a saying that you know astronomy and geography, and what is determined is like something that has been downloaded from the computer, and you can view it as long as you pass through some kind of player or other means.
However, things that are being installed or downloaded can be canceled or paused. Because it hasn't been fully entered by the computer yet. I know you want to make some money through the two of them, but it's not possible. ”
"Didn't you say that you can influence the outcome by changing the process?"
Shan Chanyu stared at Zhang San with mentally handicapped eyes: "Boss, you don't seem to be very smart." ”
"If you have a question, just ask, I'm not ashamed to ask. Zhang San scratched the back of his head to relieve the embarrassment.
"Take the old Zhuge Liang in the board game as an example, his skill is to watch the card pile, this is his skill before the round, after shuffling the card pile is not accidental, the position of each card is fixed, no one else knows, at this time through his skills to know these cards, and through his own skills to complete the change of position, thus affecting the next player. This is what I told you before about influencing the outcome by changing the process, and the premise is that only you know it or a few special people know it.
At present, our situation is like everyone in the board game knows the cards played by Zhuge Liang, how can Zhuge Liang activate his skills at this time? Even if you want to, other players will not agree. ”
Gu Dawei was a little calm: "In reality, Zhuge Liang represents the diviner, and the other players represent the ethereal Heavenly Dao." ”
While the three of them were walking and chatting, there was a terrible cry in front of them, and the front of a courtyard was surrounded by people in coarse linen clothes, and the Diamond Sutra of Buddhism faintly came out of the door.
The Taoist brothers squeezed through layers of melon-eating crowds, and finally stood in front of the door.
A green man floated in mid-air: "Who saved me when I was drowned in a waterhole on the mountain? Now I just want to take revenge, why did you hinder me!
"Donor, of course he is at fault, but this is a matter of the world, or leave it to the laws of the world to deal with, why don't you chant for you and cross your journey to the west for three days?"
"Hmph, hahahaha. The ghost laughed: "Seven days ago, I was a mortal, and I didn't see the government redress my grievances, where were you at that time? Where were you! Why weren't you there when I killed the county lord's family yesterday?" The ghost sneered one after another: "I'm afraid that this family paid a lot .....of money to inform you." ”
"The old man didn't know anything about the previous things, and the old man didn't take any of his family. ”
"Then why don't you continue to live on the mountain and eat fasting and chanting Buddha? Obviously, if you kill him, my soul will be gone, and I don't have to worry about you, you don't have to work in vain, why stop me?"
"Master, master. You must save me, I will give you as much money as you want, as long as you kill him. ”
The onlookers outside frowned, and even the old monk, who was called the master, had a trace of dumbness in his eyes.
The two Taoist priests scolded: "Why are you so cheap, I really wish you died early." ”
The man kneeling on the ground seemed to be unable to hear the insults of others, and his hands were rigidly entangled in the old monk's legs.
The old monk closed his eyes and shook his head, and helplessly said a sentence of Amitabha Buddha and got rid of the young man's entanglement: "The old man can't even cross the ghost, what kind of ghost can he talk about, since the old man can't persuade you, then you can do it." ”
The ghost showed a hideous smile and walked towards the young man, who looked at the monk in despair, and then took out a dagger and hanged himself in front of everyone.
"You stinky monk, why don't you save you when you die?" The man's family members wept and cursed, and the little monk next to the old monk fell into confusion.
The ghost saw a hint of relief on the man's face after hanging himself, and then disappeared. The old monk picked up the Zen staff in one hand, and led the little monk in the other hand to slowly walk out of the gate under the curse of the female dependents, and the people gave way one after another, only two Taoist priests chased after them.
"What's the matter with the two of you?"
"Abbot, the two of us have been wandering here, and I don't know the place well and have no money or wealth, I hope to follow you into the temple for one night. ”
"Good, come with the old man. ”
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the three of them also followed the old monk up the mountain, and were a little panicked after being noticed by the old monk, and the old monk stroked his beard with a smile: Don't be afraid, the old monk's Zen courtyard is not a man-eating beast, you have to come together. ”
"This old man is not simple, he can actually help others stabilize their minds. ”
"It's not easy, we're just spectators. ”
When everyone was hurrying on the road, the little monk finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, why not the donor." ”
The old monk kindly touched the little monk's head: "You will understand in the future, hehe." ”
After the three of them returned to the temple, they exclaimed: "Although there is no other temple with golden splendor, it is full of quiet and peaceful, like a thousand-year-old temple." ”
Unlike other temples, when you open the gate, you can see three quaint Buddha statues carved in stone. Passing through the main hall is the inner courtyard, with two guest rooms and a firewood room. In the center of the inner courtyard is a large water tank, with a neat outlet around the tank.
"Just two rooms, the five of you can divide them. The old man is going to burn incense and worship the Buddha. ”
Zhang San picked up three bunches of incense in front of the main hall and lit them, bowed to the three Buddha statues, and reverently inserted the incense into the offering plate.
"Amitabha, donor, did you say that the old man did something wrong?"
"I don't know, presumably the master also has the truth of the master. Then the hall fell silent again, and the recitation of the old monk echoed in the hall.
There was nothing to say all night, just when Zhang San and the others were asleep, there was a shout outside, the door of the main hall was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in, led by the wife of the dead young man, and the old mother next to her saw everyone with a fierce face: "Why don't you save my young master? The young lady can't wait for the master, the lady has come back to administer justice for us, and today we dare to invite all the fathers and villagers to come and confront you on the spot." ”
The old monk squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak, but the little monk next to him couldn't help it: "Your young master committed suicide, why should you settle the account on our heads?"
"Hmph, you old bald donkey, you can obviously save the young master, you can obviously eliminate harm for the people, why do you watch our young master being forced to death by ghosts?"
"Amitabha, if the donor is dissatisfied, even if he vents to the old man, why bother to speak. ”
The old mother was scolded by the old monk's straightforwardness, and forgot what to say for a while. The young lady headed by the young lady said sharply: "Since the Buddha you chant can't help the disaster and save the people, what's the use of worshipping him?
A group of people rushed into the main hall and smacked the three stone Buddhas with sticks in their hands. The little monk was a little anxious when he saw it, but the old monk stopped him, his eyes full of bitterness.
Three Buddha statues were knocked to the ground, broken into several sections and scattered on the ground. The old monk's face did not change: "A few donors, please go back after venting." ”
The young lady said viciously: If you see the Buddha statue once in the future, smack it once, let's go. ”
After all the troublemakers left, the little monk finally couldn't help crying: "Master, why did they smash our Buddha, Li Xudong committed suicide and not killed us, woo woo." ”
"If there is a Buddha in the heart, the Buddha can be seen everywhere, and there is no Buddha in the heart, even if the Buddha is in front of him, there is no chance to know it. Let these damaged Buddha statues be placed here, and from then on, we and Li Xudong will be cleared. ”
The two young Taoist priests next to him gritted their teeth and looked at the Buddha statues scattered all over the place, but there was no way to vent the anger in their chests.
"Donors, please take care of yourself, the old man is going to chant the scriptures. ”
The three people who returned to the guest room looked at each other: "It turns out that the Buddha statue fell like this, I thought it was Li Si who did it." ”
"Li Xudong's family is not a good thing, no wonder the old monk let the ghosts force him to death. If it were me, I'd still clap my hands. ”
"Who's to say it isn't, boss. But when we saw Li Si, we didn't see a monk next to him, or his junior brother or anything, and the most important thing is that we didn't even see him. ”
"The Taoist priest who is called the junior brother is somewhat similar to the Taoist priest in the painting hung by Li Si, he said that the uncle and the younger brother were all killed by Xuan Kui, and I think the same is true of these two monks. With that, the three fell silent.
