Wait... wait a minute! what are you up to! ? "
The child's mother watched Ling Fu put his hand on her son's chest, nervously trying to stop him, but it seemed a little too late.
The next moment, a dazzling light enveloped the sight and attracted a large number of nearby refugees.
"Well……"
The boy lying on the ground groaned in pain, as if he was enduring something.
Lingfu, on the other hand, had a comforting smile on his face: "It's okay, I'll bear this misfortune for you."
As he spoke, a gloomy aura rose from the boy's body and was transmitted to Lingfu's body through the palm of Lingfu's hand pressed on the boy's chest.
The so-called "carrying this misfortune for you" certainly refers to the transfer of "misfortune" and "blessing".
This is the power of Lingfu as the God of Fortune. He took away the misfortune of the world and carried it on himself, and the people who lost their misfortune will naturally become happy...at least that's what he thinks.
"What... did you do to my child?" The mother looked at her child in surprise as she stood up as if nothing had happened, and the fear on her face gradually turned into surprise.
"It doesn't hurt anymore...it doesn't hurt anymore!" The boy felt that the torture from the disease had disappeared, and his eyes were filled with joy.
At this moment, the surrounding refugees also noticed this scene.
To them...it's a 'miracle'.
Then, the news of Lord Kami's appearance began to spread.
People gathered around and thanked Ling Fu.
In response, Lingfu just responded to their expectations with a smile and took away misfortune from the unfortunate ones one by one.
"I want to be happy..."
People only noticed the smile of this god when he bestowed blessings on them, but no one noticed that Ling Fu was being eroded by various misfortunes at this moment.
The gloomy aura began to corrode his body, constantly stinging his spirit.
At this moment, Ling Fu didn't know that the negative energy in human beings and the sinister human heart were still fatal even to gods.
He just continued to perform his duties, sucking away people's misfortune. In order to make more people happy, He began to tour everywhere with good wishes.
After that, I will continue to absorb, absorb, and absorb all kinds of misfortunes.
Until one day.
After a long period of time, the shrine where Ling Fu descended had become dilapidated, and He finally returned here.
It's just that Ling Fu no longer looks like a god at this moment. The erosion of various negative energies makes him look riddled with holes, and his appearance eventually becomes corrupt, ferocious and terrifying.
"Now... everyone can finally be happy, right?"
He knelt down in the ruined shrine and looked at everything around him.
No one seemed to know that this was his shrine. Originally, he probably didn't care much about it. He just thought it would be good if everyone could be happy.
But actually? He lowered his head and looked at his body, which had been eroded by various misfortunes and was already devastated, and fell into confusion.
He did so much for mankind, but what did he get in the end?
Such thoughts arise from the bottom of Ling Fu's heart.
He realized that this was an abnormal thought, and it was impossible for him to have such a thought in his past.
"Are you affected by misfortune?"
Feeling the tingling sensations that kept hitting all parts of his body, Lingfu finally understood that even he seemed unable to withstand all the misfortunes that humans have.
He began to struggle in pain and rolled on the ground.
But even though he was overwhelmed by pain and couldn't breathe, he did not regret his decision at this moment, and still firmly believed that as long as human beings can be happy, then it is his happiness.
However... when He returned to the village he first passed through, he finally saw clearly the nature of human beings.
Those who deserved happiness, but what they got after His misfortune was taken away was not
Happiness, but constant degradation.
The desires and evil nature of human beings were vividly displayed in front of Him. These human beings... were blessed because they got something for nothing, and their desires began to expand and they became greedy. The original eight sufferings indeed no longer exist, but sins are made through happiness. Pretense gradually grows over time.
What is unfolding in front of Lingfu at this moment is a corrupt world of wine and meat.
People dress gorgeously and live extravagantly. In comparison, everything seems to be upside down. Lingfu, who is here now, has become the most miserable-looking existence.
The glances from around him were all disdain and confusion towards His embarrassed appearance, as if they were asking, 'How could such a dirty guy appear here?'
Looking at everything around him, Lingfu became even more confused.
He dragged his eroded body stumbling among the crowd.
"Get out of the way!"
A disdainful voice came.
boom.
Someone bumped into Him.
As God, He fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"ah……?"
Lingfu raised his head and looked at the person who bumped into him.
Pictures from decades ago overlap with this moment.
This is the boy he originally rescued, now seemingly grown up.
"Ah...you were at that time...you...grew up? Are you happy now?"
"Um?"
The man walking by with two women in his arms turned around in confusion upon hearing the sound.
"What is this guy talking about?"
"Is he an acquaintance of yours? He looks disgusting."
The woman next to him asked doubtfully, looking at Lingfu who looked like a beggar at the moment, her eyes full of disdain.
"..."
The man was silent for a moment, and then a look of contempt appeared on his face, "What a dirty guy...who are you?"
He seemed to have forgotten his former benefactor and was dismissive of him.
"It's so disgusting, please leave now?"
"Yes, you will be unlucky if you get involved with this kind of guy."
The two women on the side suggested.
The man nodded and prepared to leave: "Don't pollute this existence with your dirty body. Disappear quickly?"
With that said, he spat in the direction of Ling Fu, turned around and casually hugged the two women around him and walked away.
The woman seemed to be amazed by his domineering attitude, with a smile on her face.
"………………Huh?"
Ling Fu, who fell to the ground, had doubts in his eyes at this moment.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...?
His heart was gradually filled with anger.
Is this...reality?
is that a lie?
Why does this happen?
He clearly sucked away all the misfortunes, so why didn't these people become happy, but instead became this depraved state?
At this moment, Lingfu finally collapsed.
His face became distorted, and his heart was completely occupied by various negative energies that had been suppressed for a long time, and he stood up unsteadily.
"Ah...this is...a human being?"
This kind of thing... it's better to destroy it, right?
However, just when He was about to be carried away by anger and make a huge mistake, dense footsteps came from behind.
Lingfu turned his head again in confusion.
At this moment, He saw crowds of people coming.
It's just that this group of people... seems completely different from the unfortunate people he sucked away.
"Huh?"
He looked at this group of people doubtfully, falling into doubt.
"Lord Gautama Buddha, can you share a piece of your mind with me?"
The scrawny old man happily followed the leader and asked with a smile.
Not just this old man, this one is called Shi
Behind the man in Kamoni, there are countless people who are as skinny as this old man but smile and move with sincerity and happiness.
Lingfu looked at this scene with confusion.
He couldn't understand the scene he saw, why...the people who were following that person looked so embarrassed, but for some reason their faces were filled with the radiance of happiness?
This person... is obviously just a human being, but what exactly has he done to this group of people? It can make them so happy! ?
tread.
When Sakyamuni passed by Him who was lying on the ground while eating the beans in his hand, He finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and stepped forward to stop him.
"etc."
"Um?"
Sakyamuni looked at the boy standing in front of him in confusion.
He looked at the people around him, and then at this boy who looked completely out of place, and he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart.
The people around me seem to be living a pretty good life, which is really pitiful.
So, as a matter of course, Gautama Buddha stretched out his hand and invited the boy in front of him: "You...want to come too?"
He didn't know that the man in front of him was a so-called god. He just felt that the other person needed help, so he reached out. It was as simple as that.
"Why...why..."
Lingfu ignored Sakyamuni's invitation, but asked with confusion on his face.
"Um?"
Shakyamuni was a little confused, "Would you like to eat some beans first?"
As he spoke, he handed the bean bowl filled with beans to the other party.
"Snapped--"
"Clang-"
A clear voice sounded.
Lingfu slapped away the hand of the person in front of him, and the spilled beans scattered on the ground.
"Why? Why?" He kept asking as if gibbering, "Why do the humans around you look so happy!? I... I obviously tried my best to absorb all the misfortunes of humans! Why are these people I helped People have become like this!? What did I do wrong!?"
"Um?"
Shakyamuni seemed a little confused when he heard this.
This guy in front of me keeps saying 'human beings', etc. It's really strange.
But it seems that he can't answer the other party's question...
Thinking of this, he picked up the beans on the ground and threw them into his mouth, while muttering in reply: "It is indeed a good thing to be helpful to others... but sucking away misfortune? What is that?"
"Um?" Lingfu was slightly startled when he heard this, "Is there something wrong?"
"Of course not. The so-called 'happiness, ah - is not something that needs to be given by someone."
Saying that, Sakyamuni stood up, pointed at his heart with his thumb, and grinned: "But - you have to find it yourself."
"..."
Hearing this, Ling Fu was completely stunned and fell into confusion again.
In front of him, Gautama Buddha seemed to be talking more energetically and continued to express his philosophy: "Where there is misfortune (shadow), there is happiness (light)!"
The awakened person said - Do you want to be happy? Only by shouldering the responsibilities (misfortune) commensurate with oneself and working diligently can one obtain joy, and then become the shadow that produces happiness.
"Do you want... to realize it together?"
"you……"
Lingfu looked at the human being in front of him with dull eyes, his mind completely falling into chaos.
He listened to the people around him worshiping the human being in front of him, and another emotion that shouldn't have arisen in his heart.
Finally, He turned around and ran away.
This is 'jealousy'.
Gods - jealous of humans.
This was an extremely humiliating emotion for Him.
But in fact, he did realize that he had lost.
"Lord Sakyamuni,
What happened? "
After Lingfu turned around and ran away, the crowd around him asked doubtfully about Sakyamuni who was guiding them.
"Who knows?"
Sakyamuni was also puzzled by this.
The scene at this moment was seen by the gods who were paying attention to the world.
At this moment, they witnessed the fall of gods and the awakening of others.
"It's out of control... Do you want to destroy him?" A voice suggested as Ling Fu was completely eroded by all kinds of negative emotions after being far away from the crowd and was about to lose control completely.
They have almost met what will happen next. The out-of-control zero blessing will turn blessing into disaster, bringing devastating disaster to the world. According to the agreement, once such a situation occurs, someone must step forward to stop it.
However, just as they were discussing who should come forward, another change occurred.
Ling Fu seemed to realize that he was about to go astray. He used his last strength to divide his soul into seven parts just before the destruction of mankind, temporarily restraining the coming of destruction. The so-called "Seven Lucky Gods" were also created by Born from this.
"What should we do? Do we want to give him a chance?"
"Let's wait for now... If He fails to find his true heart, I think it's better to let the Awakened One who is about to join us handle this matter."
"Good idea, then... let's wait and see."
The discussion gradually subsided.
What happened next was already predictable.
Ling Fu indeed suppressed the murderous impulse to destroy mankind by splitting his soul, and the split Seven Lucky Gods did continue to perform the duties of the Lucky God according to his will for a period of time. It is precisely because of this that the legend of the Seven Lucky Gods will be passed down.
However... as time goes by, all kinds of misfortunes that have been suppressed for a long time are still fermenting, and one day they completely explode.
In a period of unknown history, the seven gods of good fortune indeed once transformed into the gods of killing and caused a lot of murders.
The Awakened One who happened to be awakened at the moment of Lingfu's fall did indeed act to suppress him according to the opinions of the gods. Of course, this was not because he wanted to listen to the words of the other gods, but because he himself believed that this was a crime. Field'cause and effect,.
It's just that the kindness in his heart makes people unable to bear to completely destroy Lingfu, who once had pure good intentions.
Thus, the consequences were sown that Lingfu now wakes up again.
'Bangdang——,
At this moment, on the road leading to Mount Fuji, there was a clear sound of the impact of the magic ring.
"Amitabha--"
The walker holding the scepter is slowly moving forward under the dark cloudy sky, and every step seems to span thousands of miles.
