Chapter 562 The Three Laws Return a Promise
"Of course we are merciful, but what do you want us to do? Prevent further transactions? The transactions between the sentient beings under the mountain and the Immortal Cai have already exceeded the wealth of the people under the mountain. Even if we smooth out the accounts, what will happen next? Do it?”
Changfa looked at Chu Tai and said with a sad expression: "They continue to pray, and we continue to settle the accounts? And now many accounts have long been linked to many current projects. Once the accounts are settled, those officials will definitely continue to pray. In exchange for more resources, you think we don’t want to do it under the guise of people’s livelihood, but in fact we can’t!”
Chu Tai laughed loudly when he heard this: "What can't you do? You don't dare to do it. Don't you dare to scold the fools below? After all, if you really want to stop it, there are too many ways. You can't settle the accounts normally, and you can't directly Broken the foundation of the Immortal of Fortune statue.”
"Either cut off the connection with the earth veins, making it unable to move matter; or cut off the connection with the wish power, cutting off subsequent prayers; or use magical powers to turn the statue into a Buddha statue, and then let the Temple of the Reclining Buddha take over the follow-up work."
"These can solve the current problem, but why don't you dare? Are you worried about falling out with the government? It shouldn't be the case. The relationship between the immortal sects and them in the past dynasties has not been easy. As long as you are willing to express your worries, no matter whether it is Buddhism or the other, Even Immortals will help you.”
"It's because of the person behind this incident..."
Chu Tai was interrupted by the old monk halfway through his speech: "Since Taoist friend has guessed it, why bother to keep asking."
"I'm not asking, I'm just curious. What are you thinking about? Since you have accepted the incense and incense wishes of all living beings, why are you unwilling to help them when they need you? If I am not mistaken, the thing that all sentient beings pray for most should be family harmony. , wishing for a long and healthy life, and a peaceful and stable life. Now, once the following problems arise, do you want to repeat the tragedy of changing children and eating them? "
Chu Tai couldn't help but recall some of the things he had experienced just after he woke up, and his emotions were really agitated.
And this was also noticed by the old monk opposite. He clasped his hands together and said with a sad face: "Compared with our hypocrisy and pretentiousness, my fellow Taoist is really compassionate."
"Don't put a high hat on me. When it comes to compassion, you don't have it? But what's the use of compassion without substantial actions? At most, it shows that we are kind-hearted and kind, but in the face of such a great disaster, it's of no use. No. ”
As he spoke, Chu Tai put out a faint spiritual light from the Cyperophila jade leaf in his hand. As the spiritual light flickered on his fingertips, some compassion and Dharma intention rose up. The inner meaning was true and true. Compared with the old monk's previous words and his actions at this moment, it seemed that There was some contrast.
"That's not the case. The poor monk has achieved some success in his mind. He can feel that the compassion of fellow Taoists comes from the grief, anger and sympathy that he feels. He does not want to see such tragic compassion. And my compassion is nothing more than It’s just a guess at some tragedy, and it’s just compassion from above. It’s not as deep as you, Taoist friend, can go deep into the world and be with the people.”
"Tch, what's the use of talking about this? Can it help the people at the foot of the mountain? Or, do you think that if you just say a few nice words, I will choose to help them? It's impossible. You don't even dare to accept a dojo as big as Wat Pho. How dare I, a casual cultivator, touch the things that fall under my body?”
"No!"
The old monk clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "It is precisely because you are a casual cultivator, fellow Taoist, that you can take on this matter without being too affected."
"What do you mean?"
Faced with Chu Tai's doubts, the old monk's miserable expression showed a trace of happiness.
"We and other sects from all over the world have received warnings before the statue of the Immortal of Wealth falls to the ground. It is impossible for us to stop the spread of the Immortal of Wealth Dao Fruit. But you are different, fellow Taoist. The cause and destiny of your body is erratic. If you don't appear in front of me, , I’m not even sure you are real.”
"Secondly, fellow Taoist, you are not a local monk. If you really break the statue of the Immortal of Wealth here, you can leave immediately, so as not to have the embarrassing situation of a monk who can leave but cannot leave the temple. Your arrival is an opportunity to save the people here..."
"It is also an opportunity to save the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. After all, I, a foreigner, bear all the responsibilities. Your Temple of the Reclining Buddha is still innocent. You can even take over the work of building roads and bridges afterwards and earn a wave of private income. Reputation, better to promote Buddhism, right?”
Chu Tai's words made the old monk a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and was about to explain a few words. Chu Tai waved his hand and said: "It's okay if you want me to bear these things. After all, I really can't understand the Tao of the Immortal of Wealth." The hidden dangers caused by the spread of fruit. It's just..." Chu Tai deliberately lengthened his voice. The old monk was not a mortal, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.
"For fellow Taoist monks to shoulder such a huge responsibility, a mere jade leaf cannot express our gratitude. However, this is just the first time that fellow Taoist monks and I have met. What do you want? As long as it is from the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, I will never keep it."
"Is this true?"
Hearing this, Chu Tai asked back.
"Nature is true!"
"Refreshing!"
Chu Tai smiled, stretched out three fingers, and said: "Three things."
"First of all, don't tell me that you don't have the method of observing the convergence of causes and conditions in Wat Pho. Your disciple has been exposed before."
Chu Tai pointed to Changfa beside him. The old monk closed his eyes and whispered: "Only magical powers."
"Okay."
Chu Tai withdrew a finger and continued: "Secondly, I need your method of spiritual realm in the painting to be able to pull me in unconsciously. I guess it is not an ordinary method. I think it is a bit similar to the aggregation of causes and conditions. Product, I really wonder what means can create such a wonderful scene.”
When the old monk heard this, his expression remained unchanged and he repeated his previous words: "Only supernatural powers."
"Okay."
Chu Tai also retracted his second finger and said with a smile: "The last thing, I need you to divine the future and observe the direction of fate. By the way, I only need the technique that you used to divine me or information related to me. ”
As soon as these words came out, the old monk's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Chu Tai with obvious surprise in his eyes: "When did fellow Taoist guess it?"
"Is there any need to guess at this? The Immortal Sect guarding a place can so easily hand over the responsibility of saving a place to an outsider. Even a fool can see the problem. Whether you can make such a choice, you must have seen it. What a better future, and the method you use is so trustworthy that you can achieve such results, and this thing must be one of the most precious inheritances of your Reclining Buddha Temple.”
Chu Tai said, the jade leaves on his fingertips slowly fluttered, and a little Buddha's light turned. He smiled and said: "How about it? Are you willing? As long as you nod, I can now deal with those Wealth Immortal statues and solve the problems here. .”
The old monk was silent for a while, and was about to speak when Chang Fa couldn't help it anymore. He wanted to speak to stop him, but was stopped by the old monk.
The monk stretched out his hand and tapped his chest, and a golden lotus the size of a sea bowl grew out of it. There were three lotus seeds inlaid on the lotus pod the size of a tea cup.
He reached out and folded it off, handed it to Chu Tai and said: "This method is very mysterious. You can't learn it without someone else teaching it. I will keep my own insights in it and give it to you. At the same time, I will say something ugly in front of you. In this lotus, I also left a dharma prohibition. If you cannot fulfill your promise, you will definitely not be able to obtain the inheritance.”
