Fangzheng looked at Huang Lanlan and said lightly, "You have committed sins and yet you wish for Buddha to bless you with a child? Huang Lanlan, the sins committed by humans have negative karma. Now that you are plagued by negative karma, how are you going to get pregnant? Ending your lineage is only the beginning. "
Huang Lanlan's heart palpitated when she heard that. She believed that she had hidden it well. No one in the village knew of it, not even her husband. However, Fangzheng's words were very certain that she had done something that could not be brought to light! Huang Lanlan knew that the monk definitely knew something.
With this in mind, Huang Lanlan stared at Fangzheng and asked, "How much do you know about me?"
"If you do not wish for others to know, don't do it." After Fangzheng said that, he turned and walked towards the temple hall. As he walked, he said, "If you really wish to have a child, think of a way to atone for your sins. This Penniless Monk does not have a recipe. The only recipe I have is merit. "
Huang Lanlan chased up to him and shouted, "Fangzheng, what do you know?"
Fangzheng turned to look at Huang Lanlan and activated his Wisdom Eye. Huang Lanlan's negative karma rose. Almost at the same time, Fangzheng sensed the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque's thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Guan Yin's powers. It was different from the child-giving Guan Yin's powers. Fangzheng gained an epiphany. With the Buddha statue's powers, Fangzheng looked at the baneful aura above Huang Lanlan's head.
He saw the baneful aura suddenly transform into a figure. It was a blurry figure but its eyes were extremely clear. It was glaring at Huang Lanlan with hatred. Fangzheng knew that it was not a ghost, nor was it a monster. It was a manifestation of negative karma under his Wisdom Eye.
"A human life," said Fangzheng lightly.
The moment that was said, Huang Lanlan plopped to the ground. She could not stand up again. She believed that Fangzheng had only said it in passing. She never expected that he would discover something that only she knew. Huang Lanlan shouted, "I didn't do it on purpose … I really didn't do it on purpose. She fell into the reservoir that day."
Fangzheng sighed when he heard that. "Huang Lanlan, it's useless to tell This Penniless Monk. If you really wish to explain, go to the temple hall and tell the Bodhisattvas."
Huang Lanlan exclaimed, "Fangzheng, you won't report me, right?"
Fangzheng did not say a word. The heavens had justice, and the world had its laws. He could judge a person's right or wrong, but as for the punishment, Fangzheng would not interfere unless it was absolutely necessary. Heaven's punishment had come. Huang Lanlan had no children, but this was not enough …
Fangzheng entered the temple hall and sat in front of the wooden fish. He pressed his palms together and gave a Buddhist proclamation before quietly striking the wooden fish.
When Huang Lanlan heard the sound of the wooden fish, her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the Bodhisattva statue in the hall and sighed. She walked in and knelt on the praying mat, saying something silently. The scene from that day flashed through his mind …
With a thought, Huang Lanlan's thoughts appeared in front of Fangzheng.
Twenty years ago, Huang Lanlan and her friend from the village, Wei Shuqiao, had gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. However, Huang Lanlan had invited Wei Shuqiao with the intention of killing him. The reason was simple. Huang Lanlan and her present husband, Jiang Song, were childhood sweethearts. She had liked him from a young age, but Jiang Song had a crush on Wei Shuqiao. Wei Shuqiao's attitude towards Jiang Song was a little ambiguous. Furthermore, she and Wei Shuqiao had competed for the position of broadcaster in the village and lost. Out of jealousy, Huang Lanlan pretended to be on good terms with Wei Shuqiao. She went up the mountaintop and pushed Wei Shuqiao down the cliff.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Huang Lanlan jumped down as well. However, she was already prepared, so she only hung on a tree. She was not injured.
This matter caused quite a stir back then. However, Huang Lanlan had always had a good reputation. Furthermore, she had nearly died, so no one suspected her. Later, Huang Lanlan and Jiang Song got married. Unfortunately, they did not have children for twenty years. As for Huang Lanlan, her temper turned more irascible due to her lack of children. She went from being the village belle to a famous shrew in the surrounding villages. Her relationship with Jiang Song also weakened. She always believed that their poor relationship was mainly due to their lack of children.
As for Jiang Song, Fangzheng was no stranger. He had come to offer incense on a snowy day before the new year. He had come in a hurry and left in a hurry. Back then, Fangzheng had taken a few glances at him but thought nothing of it.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng completely understood the karma that had befallen Huang Lanlan.
With a thought, Huang Lanlan felt the world in front of her suddenly collapse as she appeared on the mountaintop. She happened to see her younger self walking up the mountain with Wei Shuqiao. She was shouting, "Shuqiao, there seems to be a lingzhi there!"
Wei Shuqiao ran over curiously …
"No! Don't push! " Huang Lanlan shouted with all her might. She had shouted this many times over the past twenty years but she knew it was useless!
Indeed, Huang Lanlan reached out her hand and pushed!
"Amitabha!" At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation sounded. Following that, a monk appeared in midair. He stood on a lotus flower and looked at Huang Lanlan with a peaceful expression.
"Fangzheng?" Huang Lanlan was stunned.
"Patron, do you know your mistakes now?" asked Fangzheng.
Huang Lanlan knelt on the ground and wailed, "I know my mistakes. I've long known my mistakes. It's been twenty years. I have nightmares nearly every night. I got together with Jiang Song but he never had a day of happiness. He would go out to work every year and every time he returned, he would see me like a dead man. I do not know if he knew what I had done but I know that he must have guessed something. We never had children not because I couldn't have children but because he never touched me!
I did not want others to know that he never touched me. I was afraid of embarrassing myself. Therefore, I said that I was infertile. To make it seem more believable, I searched everywhere for folk remedies, praying to Buddha and the gods …
But this is not what I wanted. How is this marriage? I'm a widow … I know this is retribution but I can't accept it. "
Fangzheng shook his head slightly, "You can't accept it but how can the departed Wei Shuqiao accept it? Huang Lanlan, your selfish love not only killed Wei Shuqiao but also your husband and yourself! Let's see … "
With a thought from Fangzheng, two mirrors appeared in the sky. In the mirror on the left, there was a beautiful woman who looked gentle and virtuous. Her smile resembled a flower. In the mirror on the left, there was a village woman standing at the entrance of the village cursing like a lunatic.
The girl on the left was dressed very plainly but she was very beautiful. The village woman on the right was dressed very beautifully but she looked ugly no matter how one looked at her.
The girl on the left blushed when she chatted with a handsome man. The man looked at her with eyes filled with love. The village woman on the right was dressed very beautifully but the other man did not even look at her.
…
As the scenes were compared, Huang Lanlan looked at the left and then the right. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Fangzheng looked at Huang Lanlan and asked, "How's the girl on the right?"
"Very beautiful. Her eyes are very pretty," answered Huang Lanlan subconsciously.
"What about the one on the left?" continued Fangzheng.
"Ugly, as ugly as a mad dog," said Huang Lanlan.
