Mai Monk is very patient. No matter who has a headache or fever, as long as he comes to him for consultation, he will help him carefully.
At first, everyone saw that Mai Monk was young and had a bald head, so they somewhat distrusted him.
After all, parents dare not damage the body, hair and skin, and the first impression a bald head gives them is whether this person has committed a crime and been punished.
It's like having a tattoo on your body, which naturally makes people feel fearful and distrustful!
But as more people consulted him, and the medicine really cured the disease, everyone's trust in him also increased day by day.
In just half a day, this monk who only knew how to knock wooden fish and chant sutras in Fenglindu's guest room gained quite a reputation.
With reputation comes trust, and with trust, you are naturally more willing to learn more.
Gradually, many of the victims who had been rescued took the initiative to ask Mai Monk more about the "Kung Shou Immortal".
Then, everyone knew that they were not punished by shaving their heads, but that they had cut off three thousand troubles.
I also know about Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat, and I know that these enlightened beings advocate doing good deeds, accumulating virtue, and reincarnation.
Especially after learning about "reincarnation", many people's numb eyes suddenly became more alert.
Then they made more in-depth inquiries. Some people smiled happily after hearing this, while others felt anxious after hearing it.
Yu Youquan looked thoughtful when he saw this.
Is what Mai Monk said a very profound truth?
No!
More than anything, it just gives the people at the bottom a psychological comfort. As long as I do good deeds and don’t do evil in this life, I will be able to find a good family in the next life.
It's like a bowl of chicken soup. It may have limited nutrition, but it still has some nutrition, and it seems to taste pretty good!
As for other principles, they are essentially universal values.
For example, we advise people to be kind and refrain from killing, stealing, sexual immorality, lying, and drinking.
Confucianism is similar, but it is called the "Five Constants", benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust.
but.
Once you go to extremes, it will be very scary!
Just like the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples in the Southern Dynasties" in the previous life, they hid a large number of people, did not pay taxes and made loan sharks, harboring filth and evil.
It is similar when Confucianism has gone astray. False Taoism is everywhere, and ethics cannibalize people.
Of course, at that time, there will inevitably be correctors!
for example.
Three martial arts destroyed the Buddha.
Even within Confucianism, there will be innovations, and even the overthrow of Confucianism.
This is also God, the Tao, the Buddha, the world of mortals, and the human heart... It conforms to the laws of social development and essentially meets the needs of people themselves!
If Yu Youquan has some enlightenment, he has a deeper understanding of the world of mortals.
Even if the rolling world of mortals turns black and white upside down and is a big dye vat, it still has its most basic principles, which are universal values that the general public can recognize.
It can also be said that these values are rules and constraints, but they are still a kind of righteousness in the world.
Later, Yu Youquan heard some ordinary people asking the Zen master to clarify their doubts.
He follows the rules, is upright, and never does anything unscrupulous. He is usually filial to his parents, and loves his wife and children. Why is his life so miserable?
But Lao Zhang next door has many evil deeds, is indolent, usually disobeys his parents, beats his wife, and doesn't even educate his children well. How come his life is so much better than him?
If the Buddha can really save all sentient beings, why didn't he come earlier to save him so that he could live a better life today?
As soon as this question came out, not only the questioner but also the people around him cheered up.
This question is really too universal!
Monk Mai didn't say any profound truths. Apart from continuing to talk about "good and evil will eventually be rewarded" and "reincarnation", the rest was to explain the concepts of "enlightenment" and "salvation of others and salvation of oneself" in simple and easy-to-understand terms. reason.
To put it simply, just live your own life and don’t compare yourself with your neighbors.
All assumptions are false, and you must know how to see through them and let them go.
Yu Youquan smiled slightly when he heard this.
These words are perfect for saving yourself!
Especially when you can't change the environment to make yourself live a better life, you can only look for peace in your heart.
But at this moment, Yu Youquan felt that the monk in sackcloth was looking at him, and then walking towards him.
"The poor monk Liu Di has met the little benefactor."
Yu Youquan was slightly wary, but his expression didn't show anything. He just smiled and replied, "Master, you are overly complimentary. I am impoverished and have nothing to give to me now."
Liu Nan was slightly surprised. The person in front of him was the disciple of the master, but he seemed to have never heard of him.
He didn't know Zheng Xuancheng's true identity, but he could sense that Zheng Xuancheng was as unpredictable as mountains and seas...
However, the Six Difficulties Monk Buddha had a very clear mind and did not pay any attention to these things. On the contrary, he was even more happy because Yu Youquan did not know his identity.
Six Difficulties: "The little benefactor donated a large amount of food and medicinal materials to countless living people. You are worthy of being called a benefactor to the poor monk."
Yu Youquan nodded and didn't take this matter too seriously but asked, "I wonder if Master has any advice?"
"I don't take the advice seriously. It's just that the poor monk saw that the donor had profound Buddha nature, so he intended to give the donor a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures. I hope the donor wouldn't dislike it."
After Liu Nan finished speaking, several scriptures appeared in his hand.
Yu Youquan was surprised.
What kind of medicine does this monk sell in his gourd?
Fish farming and fishing?
Yu Youquan smiled and refused, since he had no merit and no reward, so why should he rashly accept the Six Difficulties Buddhist scriptures?
Seeing this, the Six Difficulties were not attached, and took the Buddhist scriptures back with a smile.
After that, the two had a simple chat, which was quite congenial. For Yu Youquan, who was used to making fun of every situation, he would naturally not make enemies for himself.
As for the trivial matters like discerning and evading Buddhas, let him be spared!
Liu Nan smiled and felt a little surprised.
In the Southern Dynasties, there is quite a lot of resistance to Buddhism. I thought this person in front of me would do something, but I didn't expect...
Very good, very good!
At this moment, the people taking refuge on the mountain suddenly screamed in surprise.
However, several large living people rushed up from the peak of the flood. They were either hugging the big tree or lying on the furniture, drifting with the current in the flood.
The situation is very dangerous and death can occur at any time.
Six Difficulties Monk: "One person can save half of the children."
Yu Youquan: "Okay."
The two immediately took action, like Monk Liu Nan quickly approaching the edge of the flood. Seeing the right opportunity, he stepped directly on the water and some dead branches in the water, and quickly rescued several people who had fallen into the water.
And Yu Youquan was similar, like a dragonfly tapping water, he quickly rescued several victims.
"good!"
Everyone on the hillside was extremely surprised when they saw this. They originally thought that the eminent monk was a god, but they didn't expect that the young gentleman Yu Youquan was also.
There were bursts of cheers from both sides of the hillside!
There were three people rescued by Yu Youquan, an adult man, a girl who was about eleven or twelve years old, and a boy who was thirteen or fourteen years old.
The most serious thing was this little girl. Her body was severely hypothermic, and her body seemed to have hit something hard, and her internal organs were injured.
Yu Youquan first used Qigong to help her get rid of the cold, and also used Yuan Power to help her recuperate some internal organs, and then took her to a relatively dry place to warm herself up by the fire.
After Yu Youquan arrived, the villagers suddenly became excited.
They have never seen a fairy in their life, and this experience can last them a lifetime!
Yu Youquan smiled, exchanged a few words, and then gave the little girl to a woman to take care of her with a little silver as reward.
The woman was immediately overjoyed and assured him immediately that she would take good care of the little lady.
What Yu Youquan didn't expect was that in just half an hour, the woman came to him with a sad face to complain.
It turned out that the little girl woke up, but she seemed a little stupid. She just looked at the flood, not crying, making trouble, sleeping, and not even eating.
Yu Youquan sighed.
He had checked the little girl's body, and there was no injury to her head. Now that she was showing this attitude, what was injured was... her heart!
Sure enough, after learning that Yu Youquan was the little immortal who saved her, the little girl who had just been foolish and foolish suddenly came back to her senses and kowtowed to her benefactor.
After some persuasion, Yu Youquan finally knew the whole story.
There was a sudden flood last night, and seeing that the house was about to collapse, her parents rushed to save her brother...
It's a very ordinary, common and vulgar story, but it is unspeakably heartbreaking.
Yu Youquan consoled him against his will, "Your parents still like you, but they are merciless. They are ordinary people and there is no good solution..."
The little girl nodded seriously.
"I know, mother told me that she would come to me!"
Yu Youquan looked at the little girl's bright but slightly sad eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This may be a child who has become sensible and knows what is true and what is false, but is still willing to believe it...even if it is most likely a lie!
From this moment on, there was a little girl on the mountain behind Fenglindu, looking at the river, waiting for her parents to come find her.
Looking at the little girl's frail figure, Yu Youquan was thoughtful.
I have a deeper understanding of the so-called mortal energy, and I intuitively feel that I am only one last breath away from fully understanding it.
But what exactly it was, he had never figured out.
It was also from this day that there was a meditating boy in the mountain behind Fenglindu, and a monk who was busy treating the victims.
certainly.
Occasionally, they would take turns flying across the river to snatch people from the Lord of Hell!
Time passed day by day, and the heavy rain never stopped. The river embankments in a large area around Fenglindu were washed away, turning it into a vast ocean.
I don’t know when the news came out. There were government relief and eminent monks treating illnesses at Fenglindu, but a large number of victims came all the way.
They were dragging their families with them, their bodies were exhausted, their spirits were withered, and the children in the arms of women and children with children were crying loudly.
But even so, these victims still rushed to Fenglindu.
Yu Youquan looked at the rolling flood in front of him, felt the rain that was falling continuously from the top of the dark clouds, and felt the persistence of many villagers rushing to Hongfengdu with hope, but he suddenly became enlightened.
He finally understood what kind of breath he was missing!
That is the never-say-die spirit of never giving up and fighting in the face of despair and bleak life!
This reminded Yu Youquan again of himself in the past two years!
boom!
Yu Youquan thought it through completely, suddenly enlightened, but a line of text appeared in front of him again.
[The red dust energy is condensed. 】
Yu Youquan immediately laughed and went to his master to ask him to protect him.
Zheng Xuancheng was also surprised.
Can this be done?
Are you kidding me? !
If it were so easy to extract this mouthful of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, how could it be difficult for countless proud men of the past and present?
However, he finally chose to believe it!
Because he knew that this young apprentice was not a boastful person!
He immediately agreed to protect Yu Youquan. Yu Youquan expressed his gratitude and then prepared to start the enlightenment mode of Longzhu Cave.
