The human heart is shackled by desire and greed, so much so that it ignores the suffering of others and just pursues what it wants. Is such a person worth saving?
The woman in front of me was still chattering, and many people started to gather around after hearing the noise. I was about to become the target of public criticism. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, I immediately cast a blind eye on the woman in front of me.
Scenes flashed before her eyes. She was bullied since childhood, helpless and helpless, and was repeatedly deceived when she grew up. However, she was obviously very caring as a child, caring for people around her and small animals, but life did not Instead of being favored by her, she was forced to embark on an unbearable path. Over time, after her heart became numb, she accepted this kind of herself and this kind of life.
Alas...
Those who are scrutinized by the chasing eyes will also be judged by the sins they have committed in the past. These were either forced before or they are commonplace now. These things that have hurt others have now all come back to themselves.
The middle-aged woman squatted on the ground helplessly, covering her face and crying, her body twitching due to her efforts to restrain her emotions. She kept saying "I'm sorry" and repenting for the mistakes she had made before.
When everyone saw someone crying, they gathered around and made a fuss, accusing me of bullying a woman. It was the first time that I was surrounded by so many people at the same time. I said to the woman, "I hope you can take care of yourself." Then I found a gap and got out of the crowd, away from this place of right and wrong.
"Aren't you going to help those people get their money back in the early Yuan Dynasty? I promised that old man before." Hariya reminded me immediately when he saw that I had left, and not in the direction of the market.
"I did what I should do. If the world can really repent, it means it is worth saving, then what Xuan Yi and I have done will be meaningful. And I have already planned to do it, so I believe these humans will do it. What I think is right." After I walked out of the market, I started walking slowly towards the Banshan Temple in the east of the city. It was getting dark now, so it was time to set off.
After turning a corner, the tree-lined road ahead looked very familiar. It was the same road I took when I first entered the city after dark.
"Enter the Yuan Dynasty, this is where we first met the two bad guys." Hariya also found familiar buildings, green plants, and iconic street lights on the roadside.
"Yes, I can sense that those two people are not far from here." They were brought back by my water of life, so their breaths were also recorded by me.
"Are they still here? Maybe they're back to their old ways!"
"Let's go and take a look." After locking their location, I planned to see if these two people had really changed. "If they really go back to their old ways..."
"A man from the early Yuan Dynasty?" Hariya waited for the second half of my sentence.
I didn't dare to answer. The human heart is really a complex thing. When you say something with certainty, you can believe it, but after you turn around, the words are as light as a feather.
After passing through several small alleys, a small car repair shop at the intersection came into view, and the atmosphere of the two of them was in it. A man crawled out from the bottom of the car propped up on the ground. He was wearing a dark apron and holding a big wrench in his hand. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and printed the oil stains on his sleeves on his face. This person was the boss that night.
"Sixth, give me a glass of water!" The boss shouted into the rolling shutter door.
Three seconds later, a man walked out, handed the tea cup to the boss, and then said, "Brother, the sixth man is washing the car in the back."
The eldest brother took a few big sips, and after he regained his composure, he handed the cup back, "Third brother, if you think the second one is fine, ask him to come over and help me. I'm going to fall apart from exhaustion alone."
"Second brother is also busy. Let me ask the fifth brother to come over. She is fine now."
"She is a woman, how can she do this? Forget it, come and help me, let her guard the front desk." After the boss finished speaking, he rummaged around in the tool box next to him.
"Then I'll go change my clothes and come back." The third child turned back with the water glass in hand.
"Sir, Yuanchu people, it seems that your choice is right. They have indeed chosen a serious business." Hariya seemed to understand the business they were doing, and did not hurt others as before.
"That's right, and the people under him were also brought back by him. Being able to save so many people is considered a merit!" I stood at the end of the road and looked at their electronics, and I felt a little bit in my heart. Uncertain things now have answers.
The boss looked for tools for a while and took out a small wrench. When he raised his head, he saw me across the road in the distance, but it was getting late. He stood there and tilted his head for a long time, still not sure.
Suddenly the street lights on the road turned on, and the slightly yellow light stretched my shadow. At this time, the boss finally recognized me. This moment was just like that moment. He waved the wrench in his hand at me and shouted loudly, "Master, is that you?"
"Would you like to go over there and meet me at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"I don't think so." I retreated into the alley and disappeared into the night.
After the sun sets, night falls very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the street lights are already lined up in two strings, lighting up the nightlife. With the last experience, Hariya and I arrived at the moat with ease. A water barrier enveloped me and submerged me into the river. We followed the river to the east of the city at a very fast speed, until we reached the foot of the mountain.
Hariya originally wanted to use the power of water to "throw" us into the temple on the mountain like last time, but this time I refused such a method.
"Hariya, this time let's go up like everyone else."
"I understand what the Yuanchu people meant." After saying that, Hariya controlled the water barrier and came to the remote path.
At this point in time, most of the people on the road were heading down the mountain. Only a few people were still walking up the winding road like me.
There were all kinds of people coming towards me, including farmers in simple clothes, slightly bald elites in suits and leather shoes, elderly people who walked hobblingly, resting every two or three steps, and children who were jumping around and tireless. What do farmers have to worry about? A bumper harvest and the health of their families may be what they want. What do elites have to worry about? It is already a blessing in life that the business is settled and they get money on time to support their families. What do the elderly have to worry about? It would be good if their children and grandchildren were healthy and safe. It would be better if they could come and see themselves occasionally. What can children have to worry about? Maybe they can play games or buy toys they like.
Everyone who goes up to the mountain has something they want in their heart. Can what I want in my heart be solved by praying to gods and worshiping Buddha?
Gods and Buddhas cannot bring salvation to the common people; some things must be done by people.
After arriving at Banshan Temple, the magnificent hall is still a spectacular sight. These pillars, which need to be surrounded by several people, will probably take hundreds of years to grow, and the hall requires more than a few hundred beams. The gods and Buddhas in the main hall are sitting upright, and the dancing gods and Buddhas are also outlined on the walls on both sides. The devout believers kowtow to them one by one.
I walked through the corridors and alleys and went straight to the small Zen temple in the back mountain. I met many monks along the way who couldn't help but look back at me, which made me a little strange. .
"Hariya, is there something on my face? Why are these people always staring at me?"
"Sir, Yuanchu people, you haven't changed much from usual. Are we not allowed to come here..."
A middle-aged monk walked across the street, followed by two tall followers. None of the three people looked very friendly on their faces.
The middle-aged monk was the first to speak, "Has the donor lost his way? This Buddhist temple near the back mountain is a resting place for our Buddhist disciples and is generally not open to the public."
I also clasped my hands and said, "I am here to ask for an audience with the abbot. In that case, please tell the abbot that the tourists who came that night are here to disturb you again today."
"Oh? Have you been here before? Why don't I have any impression of you?" The middle-aged monk also has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people. He stares closely as if he wants to see if I show my weakness. After all, it happens from time to time. People come to the temple to cause trouble under this guise.
"I'll be waiting here. Please go ahead and let me know." I sat down on a stool in the corridor to show my sincerity and stared at the middle-aged monk.
"You two watch him, I'll ask the abbot." The middle-aged monk ordered the two disciples behind him, and then turned around and went back.
"People from the early Yuan Dynasty, if I had known we would have come here directly in the middle of the night, but now there are so many people and they have blocked us here." Hariya complained.
"Last time we had no choice but to break in in the middle of the night. It was already disrespectful. This time we will come in an open and honest manner so as not to embarrass them and make it easier for us to come in and out in the future." I said to Hariya. This water elf is very interested in breaking into other people's mountain gates secretly. There is no feeling about this kind of thing.
After a while, the middle-aged monk came back in a hurry. When he got close, he clasped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. Please come with me. The abbot is waiting for you in the Zen room." After saying that, he hurriedly pulled up. He followed me away, leaving the two monks behind him confused. This change of attitude must have been too fast.
"As soon as the abbot heard that I said you had visited at night, he stood up immediately and asked me to come and invite you over and call you a noble person."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. The great merit is to open the gate of your temple and help all sentient beings. I am not a noble person." I didn't expect that the abbot had a new name for me. Could it be that the matter discussed last time had already been discussed in a big way? Progress?
