"Because I can see through the cause and effect."
Master Tianming's simple words almost burned Gu Yuan's CPU.
Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, talks about causes and conditions, observes clear rules and precepts, and hopes to save all sentient beings.
Seeing through cause and effect, shouldn’t it be a great blessing for a monk?
But the tone of the old monk's words seemed to reveal the cause and effect, so it was actually a sin?
Gu Yuan didn't understand and frowned. He always felt that there seemed to be something abnormal about the Master Tianming in front of him.
This abnormality... refers to the mental aspect...
Although it is said that monks do not lie, this is the Pagoda of Surrendering the Buddha, and Gu Yuan was deceived by a deceitful demon before. Although he finally woke up, this also gave Gu Yuan a warning.
There is indeed danger in the pagoda, and this kind of danger is silent, and you will fall into a strange circle before you know it.
so.
Even though the old monk in front of him was Master Tianzhi's senior brother and the previous abbot of Wenxin Temple, Gu Yuan still remained vigilant when facing him.
???????????????? suppress yourself here...
It feels weird just thinking about it!
"Master, can you please speak a little simpler?" Gu Yuan asked tentatively.
The Riddler is the most annoying.
"Do you want to know?" Master Tianming smiled and said.
"I..." Gu Yuan hesitated.
Although I don’t know what mystery is hidden in the old monk’s words, if what Master Tianming said is true, then seeing through the cause and effect seems to be a very scary thing.
Even the eminent monks couldn't bear it, wouldn't it be even harder for me to bear it?
Seeing Gu Yuan's hesitation, Master Tianming smiled and suddenly said: "What do you do here?"
Master Tianming's words shocked Gu Yuan's heart slightly.
He thought about it seriously, took a deep breath, and strengthened his inner thoughts.
"Please give me some advice from the mage."
Li Siming asked him to come to the Buddha Tower just to sharpen his mind, and now, this seemed to be an opportunity.
In fact, Gu Yuan felt in his heart that Li Siming had already known what he would encounter after entering the Buddha-Jiang Pagoda. If he retreated at this time, it would really be in vain.
Master Tianming smiled and nodded slightly. He stretched out his hand and waved lightly, drawing a ray of Buddha light from the Buddha statue.
On the incense altar, smoke curled up, and the golden Buddha light pulled out by Master Tianming dyed the smoke into gold.
The air was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood, and Gu Yuan's tense nerves completely relaxed at this moment. The soft golden light enveloped his body, dispelling the chill around him, and his soul seemed to be cleansed.
And in this half-dream and half-awake state, Gu Yuan heard the voice of Master Tianming again, as if he was whispering in his ear.
"Come on, open your eyes and see what cause and effect is..."
In a daze, Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and realized that the surrounding environment had changed.
The golden Buddha's light turned into the morning sun on the horizon, and the curls of cigarette smoke turned into wisps of morning mist. Underfoot were soft soil and weeds, and crystal clear morning dew hung on the grass leaves.
Condescending.
Gu Yuan looked at the small square city in the distance, with carriages, horses and pedestrians going in and out of the city gate.
Judging from the surrounding environment, this place is obviously not a modern society, but when Gu Yuan activated the demon eyes, he was shocked to find that everything in front of him was not an illusion.
"What kind of magical method is this?" Gu Yuan was horrified.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yuan headed towards the small town.
Although I don’t know what Master Tianming’s purpose is, I can make peace with it as soon as it comes.
He also wanted to see what kind of method Master Tianming planned to use to let him see the so-called "cause and effect".
Even if it wasn't for sharpening his mind, the curiosity in Gu Yuan's heart was about to explode.
Master Tianzhi's senior brother, the previous abbot of Wenxin Temple, actually used the ground as a prison to suppress himself because of the so-called "seeing through cause and effect".
How much stimulation must this have caused?
When we came to the city gate, the city wall here was not very tall, but the guards were very tight. The interrogation was very careful. People passing by were required to show the "Road Guide". "It's not enough to have road guides. If it's a horse-drawn cart or an ox-cart, even the goods on the car must be inspected.
The city guards holding weapons were all tall and tall, with murderous looks on their faces.
Gu Yuan suddenly became worried.
He definitely doesn't have such a thing as a road guide.
But just when he had a headache, he suddenly thought of something, his expression froze, and he looked at the pedestrians around him in astonishment.
Along the way, there were hurried people on the road. Gu Yuan's dress should be weird in their eyes, but no one ever laid eyes on him.
It was as if Gu Yuan was regarded as air.
Are all people in this world so big-hearted?
At this moment, another man holding his head, dressed like a salesman, walking toward Gu Yuan with a load on his shoulders.
Gu Yuan was blocking his path. In order to verify his guess, Gu Yuan stood there without moving. As expected, the salesman carrying the burden walked directly through.
"I see……"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that he was really an afterthought. Here, he was indeed just air. People in this world could not see him or touch him.
He was not in a hurry to enter the city. About a hundred meters away from the city gate, a porridge shed was set up, where many unkempt and ragged victims were gathered.
At this moment, the conversation between the two people behind him reached Gu Yuan's ears.
"During this period, for some reason, the interrogations have become more and more strict..."
"Now in Tiebo City, it is easy to get out but difficult to get in. Isn't it because we are afraid of these refugees entering the city?"
"Where do these refugees come from? Are there any places that have been hit by disasters?"
"They are all from Dacangcheng. I heard that there has been no rain for three months, and there is no harvest. The crops in the fields cannot survive."
"They are all pitiful people... However, we in Tiebo City are still kind and righteous. Although they are not allowed to enter the city, they are still giving porridge here!"
"Haha! This porridge giver is not from the government, but the most charitable man in Tiebo City, Mr. Tong!" "His! Mr. Tong? That's no wonder... let alone these refugees, even my family Uncle, I also received his favor..."
The two said a few words and then walked away.
However, there are still many people around who praise "Master Tong".
From the discussions of these people, Gu Yuan got to know a little more about Master Tong.
Some people say that Mr. Tong is good at giving. If he sees a beggar coming to his door, he will definitely have white-flour steamed buns and copper coins.
Some people say that Mr. Tong is a hard-working man. Even if he is rich, he will still go to the fields to farm.
Some people say that Mr. Tong has a kind heart, takes special care of his servants and tenants, and never takes advantage of others...
Even the local temple was repaired by Mr. Tong.
After hearing so much, Gu Yuan became more curious about this Master Tong.
When I walked to the porridge shed, I happened to hear a strong man shouting.
"My master is here!"
The refugees who were lining up to receive the porridge suddenly became quiet and looked to the side. A carriage that was far from luxurious was parked there. , the curtain opened, and a man wearing a gray robe and a black turban got out of the car.
The man was slightly fatter, but he was not pampered with thin skin and tender flesh. Instead, he looked honest and strong.
Gu Yuan walked up to him and took a closer look. His hands were rough and he looked like he had been doing a lot of work. His clothes looked a bit old and he didn't seem to be worthy of the title of "Tiebo City's richest man".
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
"O living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"
"My benefactor is so kind and kind that I will never forget it!"
Just when Gu Yuan was looking at Mr. Tong, the refugees behind him had already knelt down. Countless people were wiping their tears and expressing gratitude to Mr. Tong.
"If it weren't for Mr. Tong, my two children would have starved to death!"
"Master Tong is so kind!"
Seeing this, Mr. Tong's expression changed. He quickly walked a few steps and helped the old man in the front up.
"Old man, you are trying to offend me! Get up... get up quickly! Everyone, please get up quickly. Tong cannot afford such a great gift!"
When he spoke, his tone was sincere and anxious. Gu Yuan looked at him, but his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes focused on Master Tong's head.
"This...what is this?"
