Gu Yuan couldn't understand what the yamen of this era were doing.
Shi Laosan, who committed many murders, seemed to be living happily every day. The people who died in his hands seemed to be buried cleanly in the dust. No one had ever noticed that such a villain was hiding in this city.
Gu Yuan followed Shi Laosan and witnessed with his own eyes that he killed two old people, sold his children, and raped two girls.
However, he was still enjoying himself in the casino, drinking flower wine in the bar.
finally.
After a drinking session, Shi Laosan personally strangled his wife, who had lost her child and was already going crazy, to death.
After realizing that he had killed another person and it was still his wife, Shi Laosan acted a little panicked.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he dragged his wife to the mountain and prepared to bury her.
But while he was digging the hole, he dug out a box from the soil.
The box was opened, and inside was a golden gold bar.
Don't talk about Shi Laosan.
Even Gu Yuan, who was standing behind Shi Laosan, was stunned at this moment.
His eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Shi Laosan put the gold bar in his mouth and bit it, feeling ecstatic.
"It's gone... it's gone!"
Different from the ecstatic Shi Laosan, Gu Yuan's eyes were much darker at this moment.
He had been looking forward to a turn of events, even if a snake suddenly appeared and killed Shi Laosan.
But nothing like this happened.
Shi Laosan, who returned home with the box of gold bars, told the public that his wife couldn't bear the beating and ran away secretly. Others seemed to accept this statement, and no one even asked.
Or maybe, some people have guessed something, but the matter has nothing to do with themselves. No one wants to provoke a rogue like Shi Laosan, especially when there is no conclusive evidence.
If you offend such a person, there will really be no peace.
And with that box of gold, Shi Laosan's life also changed.
He himself felt guilty and was afraid that others would see him getting rich suddenly, so he took the gold to other places, and then bought several street shops, so that he could have enough food and clothing just to collect rent.
After that, he bought a big house, married a wife and took concubines, and was always surrounded by people when he went out. Later, he recruited some people to open several casinos, making a lot of money every day.
He won over local officials and became the number one hegemon. He also had many children and became a prominent family well-known far and wide.
Gu Yuan had a confused look on his face.
Think of Mr. Tong, who had done good deeds all his life, but met a violent death.
See Shi Laosan, who does all kinds of evil in front of him, but is able to have thousands of wives and concubines.
Gu Yuan suddenly felt that this was a bit ridiculous.
Master Tianming said that he wanted Gu Yuan to see the cause and effect.
But now, Gu Yuan sees everything except cause and effect.
When the smoke dissipated and the golden light subsided, Gu Yuan had returned to the seventh floor of the Buddha-Jiang Pagoda.
When he saw Master Tianming's back, Gu Yuan felt as if he was in another world.
A dream of yellow beams, a pillow of yellow beams.
Time seems to have passed by for a long time, but in the blink of an eye it feels like it can't be more than a snap of the fingers.
The hall was still filled with that fragrance, but at this moment, Gu Yuan's heart couldn't calm down.
"Master, I don't understand." Gu Yuan paused, organized his words, and said, "You said, let me see the cause and effect, but I saw everything, except the cause and effect."
"You saw it." Master Tianming said with a smile.
Gu Yuan frowned, but before he could speak, Master Tianming said again: "What you see is what I see. It's all cause and effect."

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Master Tong, is there any cause and effect between Mr. Tong and Shi Laosan?"
"No."
"That's the illusion that appeared on the heads of Master Tong and Shi Laosan." Gu Yuan suddenly realized and said, "I understand, Master Tong was a thief in his previous life and did many evil things, so in this life, although he has done many good things, he still He died a violent death. And Shi Laosan was that girl in his previous life. Because he saved a life, he will be blessed in this life, is that right?"
Although Gu Yuan still feels that such good and evil cause and effect is unreasonable, this is the only explanation Gu Yuan can think of now.
You were a bad person in your last life, and even if you are a good person in this life, you will still not end well. If you did good deeds in your previous life, even if you are a naughty and helpless person in this life, you will still have good consequences.
And is this the cause and effect that Master Tianming has seen through?
Gu Yuan originally thought that this was unacceptable enough, but what Master Tianming said next made Gu Yuan fall into a deeper confusion.
"No, in the illusion, there is no past life, and there is no talk about this life."
"Isn't it the past life?" Gu Yuan originally thought he had found the answer, but now he was overturned by Master Tianming.
Gu Yuan said bitterly: "Master, I am not very talented and I really can't guess. Please give me some advice."
Master Tianming moved the beads, as if he was suppressing the confusion in his heart in this way.
"The illusion on the head of the good boy is that thieves are killing people. The thieves are killing innocent people and taking plunder. It is the fault of the thieves who kill innocent people. The illusion on Shi Laosan's head is that of a child saving a dog. A child saving a dog. It's because Shi Laosan dug up the gold and it's the fruit.
Good causes produce good results, and evil causes produce evil results. The thieving horse sows evil causes, and the good boy reaps the evil consequences. A child sows good deeds, but a child reaps bad consequences. This is the cycle of cause and effect, do you understand now? "
Gu Yuan was stunned for a long time.
He felt that what Master Tianming said seemed to be quite straightforward.
But he always felt that there was something missing.
"No...????????????????No, no!" Gu Yuan shook his head vigorously, his mind finally clearing up, "Master Tianming, what you said is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"The evil cause was sown by thieves, so why should Mr. Tong, a man who has done good deeds and accumulated good deeds, reap the evil consequences? The good cause was sown by the little girl, so why should Lao Pi Shi Lao San reap the good fruits? If they are Reincarnation can be understood for now, but what does the thieves have to do with Master Tong? What does the little girl have to do with Shi Laosan?"
"It doesn't matter. There is no connection between thieves and good children, there is only cause and effect. The same is true for children and rogues."
"If that's the case, then the cause and effect is wrong!" Gu Yuan said seriously.
"Yeah..." Master Tianming slowly closed his eyes, "It shouldn't be like this, right? You feel the same way. You plant good causes, but the good fruits are not in you. Others plant bad fruits, even if you Do good deeds and accumulate good deeds, but bad consequences may happen to you... Why?
They all urge people to do good, and they all say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, but they do not say that good reward may not be in oneself... People who do many evil things may get good results from other people's good causes; doing good deeds accumulates virtue. A person may receive the bad consequences of other people's bad causes. It shouldn’t be like this…”
The speed at which he moved the prayer beads suddenly increased a lot.
The mage in front of him felt restless.
"Master, is this the confusion in your heart?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Ever since I saw the cause and effect, I no longer dare to look directly at the Tathagata." Master Tianming's voice was a little low and confused. "All dharmas are empty, and the cause and effect is not empty. But I feel that the Buddha is unfair!"
