Fangzheng said with a smile, "Patron, you will probably be praised for saving people."
Wang Yougui chuckled. Clearly, he shared the same thoughts. He did not think too much when saving people, but who wouldn't be happy with the benefits of saving people?
Wang Yougui stepped on the accelerator and left with Fangzheng and Monkey.
The villagers on the bridge heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the people were saved. They went off to do their own things. A few of them moved Hong Qianjie and Hong Qianxi's bicycles to the side. Then, they squatted there and chatted. Clearly, they were watching the two brothers' bicycles.
However, in the ambulance.
"Nurse, I'm talking about … Achoo … It's true! A real water ghost sent us up, "Hong Qianjie shouted. The nurse only chuckled. Who would believe him?
Hong Qianxi said, "My brother isn't lying. I saw him when I was diving. He was a white-robed monk. Unfortunately, I couldn't see what he looked like."
The nurse pursed her lips and laughed. "Two heroes who saved people, can we not tell such ghost stories? It's not funny at all. "
Hong Qianxi and Hong Qianjie were rendered speechless. No one believed the truth these days.
The woman lay in bed and underwent more examinations. At that moment, the woman woke up and said, "There's really a ghost. He touched my feet. It's too scary."
Hong Qianjie rolled his eyes. "Sis, it's March and April. Why did you jump into the river for no reason? Ah! Achoo! Ah? "
The woman said, "Who would want to die if they could live?"
With that said, the woman turned around and fell silent.
Hong Qianjie curled his lips. "Then, don't tell me you will jump back into the river later?"
"I'm not jumping anymore," the woman said.
"It's good that you have thought it through," said Hong Qianjie.
The woman said, "There's a ghost in the river. It's too scary … I won't jump into this river even if I want to …"
Hong Qianjie: "# ¥…"
When they reached the hospital, the woman's family came as the matter developed. What left Hong Qianxi and Hong Qianjie extremely depressed was that the woman had committed suicide by jumping into the river only because she had broken up with her boyfriend! Under her family's persuasion, the woman finally thought it through. This was especially so when she learned that Hong Qianjie and Hong Qianxi had nearly lost their lives to save her. She broke out into a cold sweat. By the time she wanted to find the two of them to repay her kindness, they had already left the hospital and disappeared.
And at that moment, Fangzheng was also considering a problem.
Fangzheng asked, "System, This Penniless Monk saved three people this time. Can I draw something big again?"
"Sure, but are you sure you want to draw now?" the system asked.
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "There's no need for now. I'll return to bathe and change my clothes. I'll pray to Buddha and raise my providence to the highest. By the way, let me ask you a more practical question. I get merit for saving people and doing good deeds, and I can also draw a lottery. There are many benefits. But for the two heroes just now, what benefits could they get from doing good deeds? If it weren't for me, they would be in deep trouble. Not only will we not be able to save him, but we will also lose our lives. "
"Everyone has their own tribulations and tribulations. Anyone who saves others will gain merit, and those with great merit will automatically offset some of the tribulations. This was something that couldn't be seen normally … However, if someone sacrificed his life to do good deeds, his merit would benefit his family and descendants. At the same time, when one enters the Six Paths of Reincarnation, they will have priority to reincarnate into a good family. Their next life will be more comfortable, "the System said.
Fangzheng scratched his head and said, "This is all superficial, right? Who can say for sure what the tribulations and tribulations in the future will be? Benefiting one's family is something that can't be seen or touched. Besides, from the news, many descendants of martyrs might not live better lives. Some even suffer from tribulations. "
The System said, "I'm talking about the use of merit. What you said involves many things in all aspects. Merit will be offset by negative karma. Sometimes, what you think is right might not be right. Doing it will result in negative karma. This is something that ordinary people can't avoid, but from the perspective of ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with it. That's why Buddha calls the mortal world hell, a huge dye vat. If you aren't careful, you will be tainted with negative karma without realizing it. "
Fangzheng jumped in fright when he heard that. "This … This standard of yours is contrary to everyone's values. It doesn't seem right, right? Buddhism cultivates the mind and also the person. If you directly treat people as Buddha … Wouldn't that make everyone in the world evil? "
"Of course not. Good people will always do more good than bad things. It's inevitable that merit is greater than negative karma. Even mediocre people will have their merits offset their demerits. Only evil people will be filled with negative karma. They will not enter Samsara but hell, "said the System.
Fangzheng said in thought, "I understand a little. But isn't there any substantial benefit? If not, wouldn't it be a loss to do good deeds? "
"With enough merit, your luck will change. For example, the two people from before. If you have the chance to take a closer look at them, you will understand." When the System said that, it paused slightly. "Of course, you can also help them."
"Oh? How do I help? "Fangzheng was taken aback. He only knew that he could scam people, but he never expected that he could help others.
"Figure it out yourself." The System vanished after saying that.
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. The System was indeed unreliable. As they conversed, they arrived outside Hongyan Monastery's entrance. Fangzheng got off the motorcycle with Monkey while Wang Yougui went straight for Hongyan Village's village council.
This was not Fangzheng's first time coming to Hongyan Monastery, but he realized that every time he came, there were new changes. It was becoming more and more popular.
"Venerable Fangzheng!" At that moment, a familiar voice sounded. Fangzheng looked over and saw that it was the young monk, Hong Xiang. The present Hong Xiang was a little less quick-witted than before. However, his eyes had a glimmer of enlightenment and wisdom. Clearly, after coming to a realization, he was becoming more and more like a monk.
After Hong Xiang experienced the incident of crossing the river on a reed, he was completely enlightened. Therefore, he was even more respectful towards Fangzheng. When he heard that Fangzheng would be participating in the Dharma Assembly, he came to the entrance nearly every day. If not for his own matters, he would have long run to One Finger Monastery to fetch him.
In his heart, Fangzheng was like a living Buddha. Now that he saw Fangzheng, he was naturally overjoyed. He hurriedly went forward to bow.
"Amitabha. Venerable Hong Xiang, long time no see." Fangzheng did not put on airs. Although he was an abbot and had a higher standing than a young acolyte like Hong Xiang, he did not put on airs. Although he was an abbot and had a higher standing than a young acolyte like Hong Xiang, Fangzheng believed that they were only from different monasteries. There was nothing to be arrogant about.
"Venerable Fangzheng, hehe. It's indeed been a while. Well … Abbot is waiting for you. This Penniless Monk will bring you over, "Hong Xiang said incoherently.
Fangzheng thought nothing of it as he followed Hong Xiang into Hongyan Monastery.
