The burly man imagined that Fangzheng had forgotten him, so he cooperated. "He cried like that after a nest of ants died. He sure is a kind person." With that said, he glanced at the tea on the table.
Unfortunately, Fangzheng did not seem to notice it as he continued. "That's right. He is indeed a good person. He is very kind. He has never killed an ant since he was young. Unfortunately, he killed an entire nest.
He was very sad. He returned to the monastery and took the wooden fish. He sat by the side of the ant hole and recited the scriptures to expiate the souls of the ants. As he recited the scriptures, he cried and confessed his sins. "
"And then?" The burly man realized that the monk in front of him was too f * cking stingy. It was probably impossible for him to get a sip of tea, so he began to listen to the story seriously.
Fangzheng said, "He cried for three days and three nights. He was really sad and regretful."
The burly man asked, "Then did he become a Buddha?"
Fangzheng did not answer as he continued. "At that moment, a drunken butcher passed by. When he saw the young monk crying so sadly, he asked for the reason. The young monk said that he felt guilty and sad because he had caused the death of an entire nest of ants, so he cried. Furthermore, he knelt here and recited the scriptures for seven days and seven nights to expiate the souls of the ants and repent for his sins. "
The burly man frowned and did not say a word.
Fangzheng continued. "After the butcher heard that, he was stunned. Then, he sat on the ground and wailed!"
The young monk was puzzled as he asked, "Patron, why are you crying?"
The butcher exclaimed, "You ended up like this after killing a nest of ants. As for me, I've been slaughtering pigs since I was young. I've killed countless pigs! If you are already so sinful, wouldn't my sins be unbearable? You regret it, but so do I! "
With that said, the butcher threw away his shoulder pole and butcher knife. Then, he roared, "I won't kill pigs in the future. I'll make up for my past mistakes with my life!"
With that said, the butcher jumped off the cliff!
The young monk was stunned. Just as he was about to shout, he heard a crane cry. Following that, he saw a white crane lift the butcher into the sky and head west. Vaguely, he saw a Buddha on the horizon to receive him! "
With that said, Fangzheng drank another mouthful of tea and fell silent.
The burly man was stunned when he heard that. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is the immortal crane here to receive?"
Fangzheng smiled. "What do you think?"
The burly man said, "They were here to pick up the little monk, but unfortunately, Butcher jumped off the cliff to repent, so they picked him up, right?"
Fangzheng smiled without a word.
The burly man nodded and said, "I understand. The young monk has repented and sincerely repented, but he is not fated to become Buddha. If you want to become a Buddha, you have to take responsibility and jump off a cliff to atone for your sins … "
Fangzheng continued smiling without a word.
The burly man frowned. "Master, am I wrong?"
Only then did Fangzheng say, "Patron, do you have a phone? Do you know how to use the Internet? "
The burly man nodded. "Of course, I'm not a primitive man. How could I not know?"
"The story This Penniless Monk just told is the story of how to repent and become a Buddha. Since you have a mobile phone and can surf the internet, why don't you check it yourself? Just do a search on the Internet and everything will be clear. Why should I be conflicted and seek help from others? "
The burly man was stunned.
Fangzheng continued. "Sometimes, it's not that the problem is too difficult, but that the answer is right beside you, but you deliberately don't look at it. It's even to the point of following the flow and following the crowd. That's the most terrifying thing."
The burly man was speechless.
With that said, Fangzheng sighed and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said, "Patron, your friend is waiting for you."
Only then did the burly man recall that he had a friend. He had only been listening to Fangzheng's words and when he turned his head, there was no one there!
The burly man said angrily, "Master, why are you lying?"
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, This Penniless Monk's back is facing the temple hall. You are facing it. This Penniless Monk doesn't know your friend, but you do. This Penniless Monk doesn't know if your friend has appeared or not, but you can know by looking up. Then, why did you listen to This Penniless Monk and end up being deceived? "
The burly man opened his mouth, then closed it again, opened it again, and closed it again. Finally, he said bitterly, "I understand."
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, what do you understand?"
Fangzheng asked the burly man, "Patron, why did you call This Penniless Monk master?"
The burly man thought for a moment and said solemnly, "The reason why humans are humans is because they have thoughts. The heavens have bestowed everyone with the ability to think, but many people give up on their own thoughts. Instead, they simply accept the thoughts of others. Furthermore, they don't distinguish them and turn them into their own thoughts. From then on, they become a part of other people's thoughts. "I have to say that being enslaved mentally is far more tragic than being enslaved physically. Even if the body is enslaved, one is still an individual. "If the mind isn't enslaved, one wouldn't be oneself …
Master, I've learned something.
"I only heard the question from others and believed it casually. Now that I think about it, it's really … shameful!"
Fangzheng was truly astonished by the perceptivity of the person in front of him. He didn't look impressive, but his perceptivity was enough to make him a so-called expert.
At that moment, the burly man asked again, "Master, can I ask a real question?"
Fangzheng nodded.
The burly man asked, "I know that I'm not worthy of her, but I really can't let her go. I keep thinking about her … "
As the burly man spoke, Fangzheng suddenly handed him a teacup.
The burly man subconsciously took it. Fangzheng picked up the teapot and poured it for him.
The burly man was taken aback. He never expected that Fangzheng wouldn't give him tea despite giving him so many looks. Now, instead of asking for it, he received it. It was truly unexpected.
However, at that moment, the tea was filled. Fangzheng was still pouring. The burly man was scalded by the boiling water and subconsciously released his hand. The teacup fell on the table and the tea spilled all over the table.
The burly man was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Fangzheng said, "There's no person or matter in the world that can't be let go. Once it hurts, you will naturally let it go."
The burly man was enlightened as he stood up. "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Fangzheng nodded and said, "Patron, you can leave now."
The burly man nodded and turned around. His friend had appeared behind him at some point in time. It was a woman. The woman frowned at the burly man and said indifferently, "Let's go."
The burly man looked at the woman's cold eyes and felt his heart ache. He knew that she had heard what he said and understood it. He also understood her reaction.
The burly man sighed and said, "Alright, let's go."
With that said, the two of them left. However, their backs were getting further and further away.
At that moment, a child ran over and pulled the woman's hand. "Mommy, Uncle Wang."
A dark cloud hung over Fangzheng's head when he heard that. He thought to himself, "Thankfully, I didn't pull strings. Otherwise, I would have committed a grave sin!"
