After coming down from the top of the West Peak, Xu Qiaoxiang and her son went home directly. After entering the luxurious villa, Pei Shan, the ghost who had been following the mother and son, especially Liu Zhiguo, stood at the door and did not go in.
He began to see Liu Zhiguo wearing Buddhist beads and was a little frustrated. After listening to Liu Zhiguo's words, he realized that Liu Zhiguo had not converted to Buddhism; once he converted to Buddhism, there was really no hope of revenge. There may be hope now. Liu Zhiguo is very likely to take off the string of Buddhist beads. If he does not have that kind of magic object on his body, he may have the opportunity to seek his life.
Ghost Pei Shan's thoughts were known to the road god in front of the villa. He suddenly laughed and walked up to ghost Pei Shan and scolded, you, a life-seeking ghost, can't think about it anymore.
The ghost Pei Shan looked at the strange monster in front of him in amazement. He was born with a long face, with convex and concave faces, and there were marks on it. If you look closely, they looked like footprints. Then he asked, which kind of god are you?
The monster said, I am a god, not an immortal. Ghost Pei Shan asked again, where did you come from? Why are you kidding me? The monster immediately stopped smiling and said that I am the road god here and I have something to say to you.
Ghost Pei Shan looked at him warily and asked, what do you want to say? Lu Shen bowed his hand and said, "I want to enlighten you, but you can't." Do you want to take revenge and take your life?
If you know, why ask? Ghost Pei Shan asked back coldly and angrily.
But you don’t know, don’t I want to enlighten you? I haven't finished speaking yet, don't stop me. Lu Shen was a little sullen, saying that it was wrong for you to stop me. I am Lu Shen. Why didn't I block your way when you came here? Ordinarily I would have blocked your way for an ungrateful and unruly ghost like you, but I still didn't.
Ghost Pei Shan's stern face relaxed, and his attitude was obviously softened. He lowered his voice and said, "Well, I have offended you so much. If you have anything to say, just say it!" I'm all ears.
Lu Shen still said in an accusing tone, "Are you too hasty?" There are various sayings in the world that you should not eat hot porridge if you are anxious. Humans and ghosts are alike. When they feel anxious, they become confused. Everything they should do cannot be done well, mistakes will be made, and everything will be delayed. For example, you have not avenged your revenge 600 years ago. In addition to the reasons for your enemies, you also have reasons for yourself, that is, you are too impatient and want to take revenge quickly, but you can't. This is called haste, waste. I advise you to be calm when doing things, and be calm when seeking revenge. Once the hearts of all living beings calm down, wisdom will arise. I found that your heart has never calmed down, so you have no wisdom. It's so pitiful to hit a brick wall at every turn.
At this point, the ghost Pei Shan knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to the road god, and said, "What a noble idea." He also put a thumbs up and emphasized loudly, you are awesome! That’s awesome!
Lu Shen stretched out his hand to pull him up and said, Pei Shan, I know your name. The City God of Shanyue County told me, and I want to tell you now.
Ghost Pei Shan asked somewhat nervously, what are you telling me? Lu Shen hummed, cleared his throat and said, Pei Shan, let me tell you, this road is only suitable for walking, not kneeling. You kneeled down and you hurt me, so I pulled you up.
How come you know so much about me? Pei Shan asked confused.
Last time you went to the City God's Temple to report to the City God that your enemy Liu Zhiguo and his teacher Li Juanxiu had committed adultery, and you even opened a small book with the records and showed it to the City God, right? Lu Shen smiled and said, I happened to run into you when I went to the Chenghuang Temple that time, but you might not have noticed me.
oh! I see. When the ghost Pei Shan said this, he excitedly continued, "I just want to sort out the dirty information about my enemy Liu Zhiguo. Once he commits adultery, he will lose one year of life. In one period of 12 years, I found that he has committed adultery twice." If you commit adultery once, you will lose 24 years of your life. If you commit adultery once more, you will lose a total of 36 years of life. As long as the City God writes this record in a memorial and reports it to King Yama, his lifespan will be reduced. Then I will have the opportunity to claim my life, so I will follow him every day, collect dirty information about him, and then report to the City God. This is not a small report, this is an honest matter. It should be said that it was a matter of the God of the Land. The God of the Land came into contact with too many people and was too busy, so I took care of it for him.
You're still trying to please Mao Guai, but the God of Land didn't ask you to do anything for him. You followed him just to avenge a personal grudge from another life. How can you say you're doing something for him? I think you are right to do this, but your intentions are not right. Lu Shen was accusing him again.
I'm wrong, okay? Brother Lushen. Ghost Pei Shan kept apologizing.
Lu Shen stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, saying that you were not wrong here, but also made a big mistake, that is, you have a bad mentality and a small heart. You wish that your enemy Liu Zhiguo would not wear Buddhist beads, chant Buddhist mantras, or take refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Dharma, and Sangha so that you could take revenge, but how do you know? If your enemy Liu Zhiguo wears Buddhist beads, chants the Buddha's name, and takes refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Dharma, and Sangha, it will be of great benefit to you. Not only can he save himself, but he can also save you. He can save you from the mortal world and go to the Western Paradise to enjoy bliss. Wouldn’t it be great to never suffer and live forever? Even if you take revenge and take his life now, if neither you nor he has renounced the six realms of heaven, asura, human, ghost, animal, and hell, then the days of suffering will be endless, and in the next life , that is, if you and Liu Zhiguo's reincarnation met, you would still be enemies. If you create too much bad karma for each other, you will go to hell to suffer or become animals and suffer forever. I advise you to be happy and support Liu Zhiguo by relying on the great and compassionate Buddha and Bodhisattva. When the time comes, he will be saved, and so will you. Why not do such a good thing? Only in this way, when you meet again, you will smile and forget your grudges.
Brother Lu Shen, I would like to express my opinion to you now. If he converts to Buddhism and sincerely does good deeds, I will not avenge him. If he is indifferent to such righteous teachings as Buddhism, or even avoids obscuring Buddhist scriptures, mantras or magical instruments, For example, today his mother took him to Wulongshan Xifeng Guanyin Temple to ask for Buddhist beads and Buddhist mantras from Master Mingzhao. He was not interested and refused to wear them or recite them. If he behaves like this, I will continue to treat him as Enemies take revenge.
If he continues to do evil, you can do whatever you want, I don't care about this kind of nonsense. Lu Shen said this and suddenly walked away. Ghost Pei Shan said he knew, but still stood at the door of the villa waiting for Liu Zhiguo to go out and continue to follow him to see if he did evil or good.
After school started, Liu Zhiguo performed well in school and was introduced to the Kadima Party by their monitor Gu Min, a tall and handsome young man.
In fact, Gu Min knew that it was not that he performed well, but that his mother, who was a teacher, was active at critical moments, that is, she invited key people to a hotel for a meal, and also gave some gifts to the head of the Kadima Party organization. It’s not something that’s difficult to achieve, it will happen naturally.
Of course, at first his mother Xu Qiaoxiang did not think of letting her child join the Kadima Party. It was Gu Min, the monitor of Liu Zhiguo's class, who reminded Liu Zhiguo, "Your name is so ambitious. You want to govern the country, but if you are not an official, how can you govern the country?" To govern the country, one has to be a high official. Liu Zhiguo looked at Gu Min blankly, not knowing what to say. To be honest, he really hasn't considered becoming an official in the future and becoming a high official to realize his ambition of governing the country. Every day, his heart only thinks about the teacher who teaches politics, that is, Li Juanxiu, the teacher who he calls her Sister Li in private. Reminiscing about the obscene things between men and women that should not be mentioned.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Min continued to enlighten and govern the country. Strictly speaking, Dongtu Kingdom is a political country. It is very important for you to learn political knowledge well, but to truly become an official, you must not only rely on political knowledge, but also join a political organization. The Kadima Party is a political organization. If you join the Kadima Party, you will move closer to a political organization, which is a big step forward. You will have a greater chance of being promoted to an official position after graduation, because no matter where in the country, which department , are all controlled by the Kadima Party. If you joined the Kadima Party as early as middle school, this political advantage or qualification will naturally be looked upon with admiration by the Kadima Party organization.
When Liu Zhiguo heard this, he thought it made sense and smiled. If I join the Kadima Party, I will definitely treat you as a guest alone.
