The Buddha said that all the people you meet in this life are people you had a predestined relationship with in your previous life, and they are all people you should meet in your life.
If you have some premonition before meeting a certain person, when you meet a certain person, you feel that he or she looks very familiar, and after parting with a certain person, you miss and look forward to it very much. See you next time.
So if this person didn't owe you money in the previous life, then you will owe this person money in this life!
Buddha also said that a person's life is constantly meeting many people, making promises one after another, and owing debts one after another. These debts that cannot be repaid until death will be placed in your hands. You have to pay it back in your next life, and so on.
The Buddha told people that the people who have failed you in this life may be the same people you have failed in your previous life. The pain that others make you feel is exactly the same pain that you made others feel in your previous life.

Qingcheng Mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Sima Nan and Liao Meng sat opposite each other, looking at each other calmly.
Sima Nan's cloudy eyes were in sharp contrast with Liao Meng's clear eyes, and it was unclear what the two of them were looking at or thinking about.
"I haven't made any progress in my cultivation for a long time." Liao Meng said.
"Too much is not enough. To settle down and lay a solid foundation is a kind of progress." Sima Nan said in a hoarse voice.
"I'm very quiet and restless. I want to go down the mountain for a walk. Maybe I can gain something."
"How can you walk calmly on the martial arts path if your Taoist heart is not calm or firm? If you have distracting thoughts, you should restrain yourself and return to etiquette. Your senior brothers and sisters will stay in seclusion for a few years..."
"It's been ten years, it's time for me to go!"
This was the first time that Liao Meng interrupted Sima Nan.
In fact, Liao Meng's real master is Sima Nan.
It was Sima Nan who carried Meng back to the mountain, but for some unknown reason, Sima Nan asked Wu Fan to accept Meng as his disciple on his behalf, becoming Meng's nominal master.
Almost all of Liao Meng's skills were taught by Sima Nan.
"Haha, now that I have grown up, my temper has become impetuous." Sima Nan smiled, but there was not much warmth in his smile.
"Give me my birth date." Liao Meng said lightly.
The smile on Sima Nan's face froze and he said, "Taoist priests have rules and cannot tell their own fortunes!"
"Rules are rules, I am who I am."
"I picked you up on the street and didn't know your date of birth!"
Liao Meng looked at the faint smile on Sima Nan's face with sharp eyes, full of disbelief.
Sima Nan was not upset and kept smiling, as if he were a mature and steady adult facing the crying of his child.
After a while, Liao Meng gently closed his eyes and said, "The further I go on the path of divination, the more confused I become..."
Sima Nan looked at Meng curiously, as if wondering why Meng was confused.
"I have been looking for one of them that was escaped by Heaven, but I couldn't find it. At first, I could still sense its existence, but now, I can't even find any trace of it."
Liu Meng sighed and continued, "In the art of divination, if you want to calculate a person's life, you must know his life."
Chen Bazi, and after knowing his destiny, he can also use some means to change his luck and avoid his disasters, and it is said that these means are one of the ways to escape in a person's life through the way of heaven.
In fact, I have been thinking about a question. Will the life changed through this method still be the life under the law of heaven? I once heard an anecdote. It was said that in order to preserve his Taoist heritage, an old Taoist priest stole a newborn baby and forcibly changed his destiny, so that his destiny would be firmly connected with the Taoist temple.
What puzzles me is, is this old Taoist priest's move to change his luck also among the forty-nine derived from the way of heaven? In other words, there is no such thing as escape in this world! "
Sima Nan was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "It seems that your divination skills are almost reaching perfection."
Liao Meng said lightly, "The perfection of divination is to find the one who can escape."
"You want to go down the mountain to find it?"
"No, I went down the mountain because I calculated that I have yet to survive a catastrophe. It has been waiting for me for ten years."
"Haha, the blue is better than the blue! If I give you back your birth date, can you not go down the mountain today?"
The dream fell silent.
"Since you have calculated that this calamity is in your life, you must also know that if you go down the mountain today, you will never come back." Sima Nan's face seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"We, Taoist priests, have five shortcomings and three shortcomings in our lives, and we have followed the reincarnation of heaven. How can we not cope with this destiny?"
"Oh, why bother?" Sima Nan sighed and said, "I have used Qingcheng Mountain's luck to hide your secret for ten years! You are my Qingcheng Mountain's last hope!"
Liao Meng shook his head, his face as gloomy as water, "But I am me after all. My life only belongs to me. I chose the path myself and walked it myself. I have used ten years of grounding to repay the kindness of raising me." , if it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it after I survive this disaster!”
After saying that, Meng got up and walked down the mountain, leaving only one sentence, "There is no great elder in Qingcheng Mountain... The sect can no longer live without you, I hope you will take care of yourself!"
Sima Nan's hunched figure was gradually swallowed up in the darkness.
Qingcheng Mountain is very big and very high. It took nearly two hours for Liao Meng to walk down the mountain step by step without using any internal energy.
The snow on Qingcheng Mountain is broken, with a piece here and a piece there, spread out randomly.
The setting sun spreads a blush over large areas, dyeing the white snow red, as if it is spreading blush for the bride who is about to marry far away.
I stood at the foot of the mountain in my dream, breathing in the warm setting sun.
He did not look back at the winding and rugged mountain path, perhaps because he had seen it countless times over the years.
He did not look up at Qingcheng Mountain standing majestically in the clouds and admire the exquisite and gorgeous pavilions on the mountain like those pilgrims who came back to visit Qingcheng Mountain for the first time.
He has been watching these for ten years.
"I've seen Daozi!"
The two disciples guarding the mountain gate noticed Meng's figure and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Liao Meng ignored them, just took a deep breath, stepped out, and walked to the old peach tree.
Reaching out and stroking the wrinkled trunk of the old peach tree, Liao Meng felt the decay of long years on it, and was immersed in it, as if he had also transformed into a peach tree and experienced the exhausting passage of time.
…………
"Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things, and time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations."
An old voice sounded from behind the peach tree. Liao Meng opened his eyes and looked over.
I saw a ragged and dirty old man sitting on the ground leaning against the trunk of the peach tree.
If you didn't look at his appearance, I'm afraid you would just think that he was a shabby beggar.
But when Meng Meng saw his appearance clearly, he was shocked.
I saw that the beggar looked almost exactly the same as Sima Nan!
"External incarnation? Are you... here to stop me from going down the mountain?" Liao Meng could tell at a glance that this was Qingcheng Mountain's method of transforming three pure beings into one breath.
The so-called one Qi transforms into three pure beings means that the user can transform into an external avatar that is connected to his own mind and has the same aura, and can control his every word and action.
And he has practiced to the extreme, being able to possess and control three incarnations at the same time.
However, practicing such skills not only requires a lot of resources, but also can easily lead to obsession.
I had heard in my dream that there was once a powerful elder in Qingcheng Mountain who practiced this technique to the extreme and created three incarnations. However, he suffered a backlash from the technique and was beaten to death by the three incarnations!
Sima Nan's beggar incarnation smiled and shook his head.
"You have made up your mind. If I stop you, it will only make you restless and dissatisfied."
"Then why are you here?" Liao Meng said impatiently.
"I came here just to see how you are doing!"
"The Taoism of Qingcheng Mountain emphasizes tranquility and inaction, and is not good at competing with others."
"Haha, if you fight, you will fight. If you don't fight, you won't fight. If you fight, you won't fight. If you don't fight, you will fight." The beggar's incarnation said calmly.
Liao Meng nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, how do you want to fight?"
"Since you are now stuck in the way of divination, I ask you to calculate which lot will be drawn by my right hand later?"
As he spoke, the beggar transformed and took out a grease-stained lottery ticket from inside his tattered clothes.
There were several bamboo sticks in the bamboo stick, three long and two short, all of which looked black and rotten.
Liao Meng just glanced at the lottery tube, then looked at the face of the beggar's incarnation, then pinched his fingers and started counting.
…………
At the same time, the two disciples guarding the mountain gate were looking at Liao Meng standing under the peach tree with puzzled faces.
"It's been an hour, why is Master Daozi still standing there motionless?"
"Well... I remember that Master Taozi stood here for a long time after having a fight with that monk last time!"
"Forget it, Master Daozi's advanced cultivation is not something we ordinary people can guess at will. We'd better not worry about it. He is probably comprehending some magical skills."
"By the way, where are the two demon pets beside Master Daozi? Aren't they always inseparable from him? Did he kill them?"
"Shh, please keep your voice down. If you disturb Master Daozi, you will suffer a lot later!"
