Volume 1: The Peace Bureau (Part I) Chapter 43, Small Calculations
Wuding Riverside.
Ye Yu found a narrow part of the river, observed the flow of the river, picked up a stone to test the depth of the water, saw that it was not impossible to swim across, and estimated the distance, to swim to the other side is to change four or five breaths, so he simply cleaned up his body, moved his muscles and bones, and a fierce man plunged into the river.
At first, he didn't feel anything abnormal, but he didn't expect that he had just swam less than a foot out, and suddenly felt that his feet were empty, as if he had fallen from a tree, and the buoyancy around his body was instantly lost.
Originally, he was still forced to calm down, thinking or encountering an undercurrent, seeing that the river is not wide, it should not be too deep, but he didn't expect that after a few breaths, it still hasn't touched the bottom, and then looked down, I don't know when it has been suspended in a void, the wind in my ears is still whistling, but the heaven and earth have been turned upside down.
He's falling from the sky!
Now he was a little panicked, he didn't expect to encounter this situation.
If he was still in the water, even if there were deep ravines below, he could still struggle a few times, but now he was in the air, and he was not a bird, how could he save himself.
"Hallucination! This must be an illusion! ”
Ye Yu shouted in his heart, watching the outline of the earth zoom rapidly, the mountains, rivers, city streets, houses and people, everything slapped towards him.
In a hurry, he had to close his eyes, force a breath of true qi, stabilize his mind with the moon reflection method, and force himself to calm down, but he suddenly felt back in the water, and his buoyancy also recovered a little, although it only lasted less than a breath, but his feeling was real.
The young man was overjoyed in his heart, and he clung to this wonderful feeling, and struggled for a long time on the edge of life and death, and finally found a little pattern by him.
As soon as he tried to open his eyes to see what was going on around him, his body would fall from the void.
And if he ignores these, reins his mind, and uses the moon reflection method to save the Sijiang Palace, he can return to the water and slowly float up.
The young man didn't have time to think about the reason, but fortunately he let go of his hands and feet and didn't struggle, like a stone sinking into the water, letting the water wash over his body, only constricting his mind to one place, contemplating the bright moon.
After a while, he suddenly gave birth to a new five senses, as if he had come back from the dead, and had unknowingly floated to the other side.
……
After Huai'an jumped into the river, he floated up from the opposite bank after a while, his face was slightly stunned.
He had been waiting from the moment he jumped into the river, wanting to see how much karma would be entangled in Yemu, if it was really a finch that accidentally crashed into the cage, maybe it was the way he couldn't find for a long time.
This is the reason why he tirelessly answers all kinds of questions about the night.
In his eyes, Ye Mo was an anomaly that should not have appeared here, a rare object of observation.
Because before that, he was the only floating soul in this world!
But he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
In fact, there is still one thing to say about the Wuding River Huai'an, this river originally had a name, called "Bottomless River", through the bitter sea, the five turbidities converge, its power is irresistible, if it is not for the absolute god to abandon wisdom, everything is put down of the awakened person, can not cross the other side at all.
On the other hand, in the six realms of reincarnation, no matter what realm you come from, as long as you have karma entwining your body, you will suffer from uninterrupted retribution after entering the river.
Even if he jumped, he would never be unharmed, but today the uncertain river did not show anything.
Huai'an recited Sanskrit sounds, like the morning bell echoing, his eyes instantly turned golden, like the scorching sun and fire, swept straight towards the night, and where he could see, the heaven and earth suddenly stagnated.
The evening breeze suddenly stopped, and the undulating grass on the slope, the willow branches swaying by the river, the birds fluttering their wings in the air, everything seemed to be a painting in an instant.
He gently brushed his hand forward, and everything in the painting began to recede!
Who said that time is like flowing water, and it is difficult to go back.
Now, in front of Huai'an's eyes, the Wuding River is flowing backwards, and the night wine has also retreated into the water.
However, the river is still empty.
No matter how carefully he looked at it and how many times he repeated it back and forth, there was not the slightest change.
Huai'an's expression gradually became hideous, like an enraged lion, the flesh on his cheeks twitched constantly, and he began to talk to himself nervously.
"No one can swim across the Wuding River unscathed, Huaigen Lao'er, you are playing tricks again"
"This is his blessing, what does it have to do with the poor monks?"
"Fart, here you are the way of heaven, you didn't do it on purpose, can it still be me?"
"No, the Liulitian Avenue is different, and the poor monk is only making up for seven points, and he can't look at the ten directions at a glance and shine all over the Dharma Realm."
"And what about the remaining three points?"
"Senior brother, you deliberately tricked me again, and the secret of heaven must not be leaked"
"One point for each of heaven, earth and man?"
Huai'an suddenly guessed the key, his expression returned to peace, and his eyes were compassionate: "Senior brother, since you don't want to cross him, then I'll cross."
Huaigen sighed silently.
……
Ye Yan climbed up to the riverbank, and was afraid for a while, if he hadn't discovered the way to cross the river in time, he would have fallen into a meatloaf by now, but he didn't expect this river to be so strange.
Standing on the side of the Forgotten Worry Pavilion and looking back at the other side, he suddenly felt like waking up from a dream, standing in place and quietly realizing for a while, but he gained nothing.
The young man saw Huai'an in the distance, and he had gathered all the people gathered in an open space at some point, and was sitting on a high platform temporarily built by the little demons, giving a lecture to everyone in the audience, and he walked quickly to the crowd.
At this time, the strange monk was lowering his eyes, his lips kept squirming, and his mouth emitted bursts of Zen sounds, as if he was chanting and singing.
Ye Yu looked carefully for a while, but couldn't read what Huai'an was talking about, and then glanced at the sleepy people in the audience, and accidentally found that the fortune teller Chen Blind was also here.
The young man felt that something was wrong, and he also learned to sit cross-legged with everyone, but he didn't expect that as soon as he closed his eyes, he came to a sea of golden clouds in a trance, and he looked at the Yuyu Qiong Tower, the Lingquan Waterfall, as if he had come to the Buddha Land of Bliss.
This sudden change was so strange that he was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes again, but what he didn't expect was that he was like falling into a nightmare, and he couldn't get out of this illusion no matter what.
Ye Yu saw Huai'an leading a group of people to fly around the Buddha country several times, and finally headed towards a square surrounded by clear water.
He secretly stabilized his mind and drifted over with the flow of people.
Huai'an came to the square, climbed a high platform in the center, pointed to a glazed Buddha building in front of him that exuded seven-colored treasure light, and said loudly: "This is the country of nothingness that I just told you, and I have already talked about the method just now, what you have to do in the next three days is to demolish this building for me and move it all back!" ”
When they heard this, they were all astonished, and when they saw that this place was full of jewels, they all looked frightened and did not dare to move forward.
Huai'an smiled: "You just let go of your hands and feet to dismantle, even if there is a thunderstorm one day, it will not fall on your head, and then you will kill people to pay for your life, and repay debts, I think you should all understand, if you really believe in Buddhism, you are willing to turn back from the bitter sea, and you will not owe me debts, so don't be stunned, and don't want to temporarily hold on to Buddha's feet, today's debt is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you miss it, I will inevitably let you pay off your debts in the future, don't cry dad and call my mother to beg me when the time comes!" ”
After these words, many people trembled, raised their axes and saw blades in their hands and slowly flew forward.
Ye Mo watched from the sidelines, thoughtfully.
Although he had been here and was not a believer in Buddhism, he had seen some descriptions in the Hidden Gate Arsenal classics.
Those who have attained great attainment of cultivating Buddhas can rely on the transformation of the spiritual platform to open up the world of bliss in the "land of nowhere" with supreme will, and lead the believers to die in it, but they did not expect that there really is such a place of miracles.
Huai'an does whatever he wants here, and he must have a deep grudge with the master who opened up this holy realm.
And the sufferer can guess who it is without asking.
Thinking of the previous conversation between the two of them, as well as these people who were subject to Huai'an for some reason, he may have inadvertently been involved in a dispute, and he felt that he had to be more careful in the face of this demon.
……
Huai'an saw that Ye Yu also came to the square, floated to him, and looked him up and down: "Can you feel that the world is suddenly open?" ”
Yeyu nodded, and was a little confused: "Is this the Prajna wisdom that the Zen master said?" ”
Huai'an shook his head with a chuckle, and looked sideways at the towering Buddha building in front of the square: "Washing off the dust is just the beginning, if you want to change your life, you are fighting with the sky, the earth, and people, and you are still too weak."
Ye Yu smacked his tongue secretly, also looked up at the front, and quietly changed the topic: "What is Zen Master doing?" ”
Huai'an smiled: "Fight local tyrants!" ”
"Whose place is this, so magnanimous?"
"The Buddha Country of Huaigen"
"Could it be that this is the spiritual soil of the locust root?"
Huai'an seemed to be a little tired, stretched his waist, and shook his head: "It's not Lingyang, this is the wonderful realm he opened up in Lingtai, you don't need to think about this now, just know that if you can break the cage one day, I have your own benefits, you will stay here for a few days!" ”
Ye Mo asked rhetorically, "Is this a promise?" ”
Huai An laughed, and turned his head to look at him again: "Do you know that many people can't ask for this job by kneeling and kowtowing, but you still want benefits?" ”
Ye Yu laughed dryly: "It's not profitable, it's not early, the villain has something to ask for"
Huai'an's eyes were flat, and he took out a blue book and handed it to him: "If you want to get back the shadow, you have to think about getting out of here first."
Ye Yan shook his head, his palms were already a little sweaty, and he secretly clenched his fists: "It's not this thing that I want to ask the Zen master, the villain's spiritual soil was destroyed by the gangsters when he was young, and he knows that he has no relationship with the Great Dao, and I want to ask the Zen master to remove this curse for me."
Huai'an was slightly flustered, he didn't expect the young man to make such a request, and chuckled: "You little baby abacus is very good, it turns out that the demon is the ghost idea, I'm afraid it's not because it has nothing to do with the avenue, but it's difficult to get a tall building on the ruins, right?" ”
Ye Yan's body stiffened slightly, his face was slightly hot, and he bowed to the ground: "The Zen master's eyes are like torches, I can't hide it, the villain still has a spiritual root fruit at home, and he hasn't been willing to eat it yet, so ......"
Huai'an chuckled: "For the sake of the avenue, it is okay to play some tricks, but the scheming is too strong, and the disaster is deep, and it is Xiaozhi in the end, this matter depends on your performance"
When Ye Su heard this, he said excitedly: "Thank you Zen Master for your advice, Ye Mo will do his best to do this well."
Seeing Huai'an's figure gradually disappearing in the distance, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and recalled the whole process in his mind, and made sure that there was no mistake, so he looked down at the book in his hand, only to see the three words "Yulan Lu" written on the cover with gold lacquer, and after a cursory look, he saw that many personnel were recorded in it, and he was at a loss for a while.
He studied it carefully for a while, and found that this booklet is a bit similar to the merit book in the temple, but it does not record the charity of believers, but the names of blessing, relief of misfortune, and removal of suffering, etc., and lists the blessings that the Buddha gave to those who come to Fushui Temple to pray for blessings, as well as the method of offering and repaying them.
For example: Zhang San, born on a certain day in a certain year, a certain place in his ancestral hometown, came to the temple to pray for blessings on a certain day in a certain year, and was willing to fold his life to save his mother, and gave two strings of locust nectar, and should hold the fast chanting Sutra a thousand times a day on the day of his mother's recovery, until the end of the term, in order to solve the misfortune of miscellaneous impurities, his mother Zhang Xu, received a bowl of bitter water, accumulated a piece of good deeds, and sold the debts of the world, and needed to raise 20 gold beads to support the Bodhisattva of Jizo for a thousand days, so as to remove the suffering of the scorching hell and so on.
In short, this is an account written down for the Buddha, but all the people in the book are not the people who owe the incense of Fushui Temple.
This kind of thing has never been heard of before, let alone seen.
However, recalling the reaction of the people in Shuizhai when they saw Huai'an yesterday, it was suddenly a little clearer, but he didn't believe that the Buddha and Bodhisattva would compete with mortals like this.
The young man saw that everyone was demolishing it in a disorderly manner, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border, and after a while, he had made a Buddhist building in Haoduanduan full of holes, but he couldn't see where they had transported the dismantled objects, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was another dream.
But after only a little distraction, he withdrew these useless thoughts, weighed the account books in his hand, and in order to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble, he decided to find someone to inquire secretly first, to see if there was something strange behind the bookkeeping, and it happened that there was a good candidate in front of him.
