Chapter 561: Interest rate compounding
"Fellow Taoist has a wise eye."
The young monk clasped his hands together, changed his title, and sighed: "As you said, several of the children of old donor Fei have been more or less affected by the power of the Qingli Caixian Dao Fruit. Now they are entangled in the same place. Although we are It can be solved, but the follow-up processing is really troublesome.”
"Can you tell me what the specific trouble is?"
Chu Tai had already guessed the source of the trouble, but now he needed the monk in front of him to tell it himself.
The other party also understood Chu Tai's thoughts and said after a moment of silence: "It's just some officials in the government. Although it will not cause any direct damage to the Buddhist temple, the subsequent impact will be considerable and it will be very troublesome to deal with."
"I see, monk, you also know that this matter is troublesome to deal with, and you still ask me why I don't help? It's a shame."
Chu Tai's answer made the young monk close his eyes slightly and whispered: "My fellow Taoist has good cultivation and good prospects for immortality. Today is due to fate. Although I don't know what you are asking for, I can feel you." The fate should lie with the old donor Fei.”
Hearing this, Chu Tai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the young monk had such knowledge, but he didn't intend to accept it like this.
"But he's not the only one. If you want my help, you can't let me work in vain."
The young monk glanced at Chu Tai, with some doubts in his eyes. He seemed unable to understand why Chu Tai could say such words. He pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want, fellow Taoist?"
"I should be asking you this, what do you think it is worth for you to be a devout believer? Especially this believer who devoutly believed in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha in his previous life and the previous life. As a believer in the third life, if there is no accident, he will be able to get this body. Ascension to Bliss, now something goes wrong, can you really watch him sink?”
Sensing the change in the other person's mood, Chu Tai deliberately made a philistine expression, which turned the confusion in the little monk's eyes into a little disgust. He obviously regarded Chu Tai as a guy taking advantage of the situation.
Just when the young monk was about to speak, an old voice sounded from behind: "Changfa, please step aside first."
Looking up, Chu Tai saw a treasure light emerging from a pool on the mural, and then a thin and tall old monk, holding a milky-white Buddha light like a full moon in his hand, came to the mural on the waves, and left in an instant. to his eyes.
"Namo Amitabha! Fellow Taoist, I wonder if this talisman can be used as a reward. Could you please do it?"
Chu Tai looked attentively and saw that the old monk was holding a jade leaf in his hand. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the leaf of the celestial root Solo Immortal Wood that Xianzhen brought into the world from the Qingxu Mansion of Daluo Tianyue Palace in the past.
However, at this moment, the jade leaf was covered with Buddhist scriptures, causing the soft light of pale gold to flow from the jade leaf, which was like the condensed moonlight.
The old monk handed it to Chu Tai and explained its origin and efficacy.
"This thing is the leaf of the eucalyptus tree behind the Reclining Buddha Temple that has been nurtured for thousands of years. It has been influenced by Buddhist incense day and night for thousands of years, washed by the light of the Buddha, and gave birth to the Buddha nature. I also wrote Buddhist scriptures with the blood of my fingertips, and refined them with the Buddha's teachings to make them pregnant. Mana is a bit mysterious.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Tai did not answer immediately, but asked as if he had accidentally asked.
"I heard that Thoreau's fairy wood and the western Buddhist tree, the cypress tree, come from the same source. It seems to make sense when I see it today."
The young monk Changfa was slightly angry when he heard this, and seemed to think Chu Tai's words were slanderous. However, the old monk waved his hand and said: "Fellow Taoist, I am joking. The Solo Immortal Wood is originally the spiritual root growing in my Buddhist Yue Tian. It has been influenced by Buddhism since its birth. It has similarities with the Buddhist tree Cyperus It’s normal, not surprising.”
"However, although the two are similar in appearance, their inner meanings are completely different. The Thoreau celestial tree is only a thing of the moon and the sky, while the cypress tree is the place where the Buddha attained nirvana in the past. Coupled with the differences in acquired environments, the result is The effect of the treasure is even more Same. If my magic talisman is written with Buddhist scriptures, it is better to be selected from the Moonlight Bodhisattva scriptures, while the alfalfa leaves are more suitable for Nirvana, enlightenment, purity and other scriptures, and can also restrain the hidden dangers of the wealth, immortality, and fruit."
Chu Tai played with the cypress jade leaves in his hands and felt the meaning of the law inside. Just as the old monk in front of him said, the power contained in it was not like the lunar moonlight, but a sense of purity similar to that after washing away the lead brilliance.
As for Chutai's previous feeling that its brightness was like moonlight, it was because the scripture written on it was "Namo Pure Moon Tathagata's Original Vow Sutra".
This sutra praises the supreme merits and virtues of Pure Moon Tathagata. It is said that this Buddha's radiance is like the moon above, and the hearts of all living beings are like water below. If you have faith and vows, the clear moon will appear, making people's body and mind pure, eliminating all suffering, and resolving all karma.
In terms of effect, this scripture is very targeted at dealing with the hidden dangers of the Supreme Wealth Immortal Dao Fruit.
Chu Tai smiled and said: "The monks have prepared such treasures, but they are reluctant to take action. It cannot be that there are any hidden dangers later. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good if you gave this jade leaf to the old man?"
Hearing this, Changfa couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward and said: "It is urgent to save people, but it is urgent to save people. The problem of Mr. Fei's donor's family not only involves a wide range of things, but also requires scraping the bones to heal the wounds. It is not one or two magic weapons." It can be solved.”
"So, you just want to use a magic weapon to send me away?"
Chu Tai seemed to be looking for trouble and asked them why they allowed the problem to get serious, why they didn't deal with it early, and why they are unwilling to take action now.
Changfa avoided Chu Tai's gaze and didn't know how to respond.
When the old monk saw this, he sighed and stepped forward to explain.
"To put it bluntly, this matter is also a problem for the old guys like me. I was worried about the officials in the government at first, and seeing that the trouble caused by the fortune fairy's blessing was not big, I simply gave them a few warnings and let them go. I never thought about the wealth fairy's blessing. The prayers under the statues of immortals can also be made through mutual guarantees and second or third prayers to obtain resources that are much higher than their own value. ”
"Nowadays, several big families except the Fei family have relied on mutual guarantees to continuously obtain a large amount of resources from the Immortal of Wealth statue. Based on the value given by the Immortal of Wealth, it is enough to save all the people at the foot of the mountain. However, the subsequent repayments of those families are more than double the original resources, which is enough to buy and sell everyone under the mountain seven or eight times."
"In order to ensure that their own resources can be traded normally, and to ensure that they will not be directly annexed by Caixian Daoguo due to breach of contract, those families that were originally kind have become more and more radical, their temperaments have gradually become extreme, and they have gradually stopped comparing themselves with ordinary people. When people are put together, they start to behave like animals.”
"Although the Fei family is better off, the number of resource transactions among people around them continues to increase. In order to keep up with everyone, they can only pray to the Immortal of Fortune. In this way, the merits and blessings accumulated in the past will gradually dissipate. According to this If the situation continues, it won’t take long for everyone at the foot of the mountain to become the slaves of the Immortal of Fortune.”
Chu Tai had already heard the problem and whispered: "Such actions are obviously against the principles of human nature and law. Will the court just ignore it?"
"What do you care? The Immortal of Wealth is originally promoted by the court, and now people in the mountains have advanced their future resources from the Immortal of Wealth through constant prayers. Not only are their lives becoming more prosperous, but the officials have also received a lot of money through taxation. We started building roads and bridges to benefit the people. Who dares to stop it at this time? Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong?”
Changfa's answer made Chu Tai very displeased, and he whispered: "Isn't it time to stand up for all sentient beings at this time? Why do you hesitate to do anything if you know that all sentient beings will suffer in the future? This is what you call compassion to help the world?" ”
