The Smiling Buddha was still smiling, but what he said made none of us laugh: "I came all the way here, and you didn't prepare some vegetarian food for me, but instead forced me to work first..."
The crazy Taoist hurriedly got up and went to cook. After all, he had something to ask for, so he couldn't be too rude.
Da Huang, Lao Mao, and I didn't dare to say anything at all. Looking at the guy's temper, it seemed like he would be doomed if he said the wrong word.
Only my grandfather first poured a glass of water for the Laughing Buddha, then picked up the wine and said to the Laughing Buddha: "This trip will be difficult for you." After saying this, my grandfather went first as a sign of respect.
The Smiling Buddha can be rude to everyone, but when facing my grandfather, he stood up politely, raised his glass and said, "Donor Lao Lin, I can't bear this."
My grandfather said with a smile: "You can afford it. For Tingxuan, you have sacrificed your life to do this. This kind of great kindness is unknown to others, and I don't know it?"
On the surface, this sentence was said by Grandpa to the Smiling Buddha, but in fact, he said it to several of us, especially Huang Tingxuan. Dahuang initially wanted to ask the Smiling Buddha to heal the crazy Taoist, but he was
The rejection must have made her feel unhappy now. Unexpectedly, her grandfather said such a sentence, which obviously made Dahuang change his mind about the Smiling Buddha.
Grandpa continued: "Things like bringing the dead back to life can be accomplished by one person, but it will destroy the yang life of those who go against heaven. After all, the harmony of yin and yang is the way of heaven. If you do the opposite, you will be punished."
Only then did Dahuang realize how great a favor it was for the Smiling Buddha to promise to bring him back to life. He quickly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Smiling Buddha, for your great kindness. Tingxuan will never forget it."
The Smiling Buddha still had a smiling face, and it was impossible to tell whether this guy was happy or angry deep down in his heart. He waved his hands quickly and said: "That's all, don't listen to what Old Almsgiver Lin said. What he said is mysterious. In fact, it's not
It must have really damaged my Yin virtue and Yang longevity. In fact... your situation is special, maybe after rescuing you this time, it will have no impact on me at all?"
Da Huang nodded with a smile and said, "This is best."
The Smiling Buddha suddenly pointed at my grandfather and said: "It's true that Lao Lin has paid too much this time. You should really thank him. Do you know that this guy reopened his eyes a few days ago to spy on God's will and finally calculated the number four to nine?"
A catastrophe is about to come to the city, and I have calculated that only a character who travels between the Yin and Yang realms and does not belong to any camp can stop this catastrophe..."
My grandfather looked embarrassed and took a sip of wine silently.
However, the Smiling Buddha continued: "Alas... You must know that peering into the sky is a very dangerous technique that destroys Yang, longevity and Yin virtue. For the future fortune of the Forty-Nine City, and for the sake of the common people, Lao Lin, the donor, reopened his eyes...
He has done much more than me who only saved one person."
I broke into a cold sweat and asked, "Grandpa, is what Senior Smiling Buddha said true? Have you really reopened your heavenly eyes?"
Grandpa smiled and nodded.
"Then how much life will you lose by doing this?" I asked even more anxiously.
Grandpa did not speak, but just waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about these things. A gentleman does what he does and what he doesn't do. In the face of catastrophe, these things are just floating clouds, and a person's life and death are nothing at all."
"But... oh, but didn't you say that even if you know your destiny, you can't force it to change? This will only cause a greater disaster... right?" I asked.
Grandpa nodded and said: "Yes, we can't change destiny, but we can speed up the process of all this. It's not about tampering with God's will, but making the best use of the situation... Yang Yang, you must have heard of Dayu's flood control, right?"
I quickly said: "Of course I have heard that when there was a flood in Kyushu, Dayu's father Gun used the method of chasing and blocking, but it did not alleviate the flood. When his son Dayu came on the scene and took advantage of the situation, the flood was dredged...
"
"Yes, so now that we have learned about the destiny, what we have to do is the same, take advantage of the situation, speed up the catastrophe, and let this disaster pass as soon as possible." Grandpa said slowly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
look.
"What do you mean..." Although I had a guess in my mind, I still didn't dare to say it without my grandfather's confirmation.
But my grandfather’s words proved that my guess was right. He said: “Since we know that this catastrophe will end because of a character who travels between the Yin and Yang realms and does not belong to any camp, then we might as well start with him.
, because he is the terminator of this natural disaster. As long as this person is found, then this natural disaster will really end..."
Having said this, Grandpa looked at me, then at Lao Mao and Dahuang, and said: "This person may be you, it may be Lao Mao, it may be Tingxuan... it may even be Madman and the Smiling Buddha...
Or maybe it's me... So now I'm even more trying to resurrect Tingxuan so that he can improve his cultivation. The heavenly tribulation has not yet come, but after it comes, if we want to react, we will just rub our hands.
Not as good as."
After hearing this, our expressions immediately became serious.
Grandpa said: "Then let's give this person a name, right?"
Seeing that we all nodded in agreement, Grandpa continued: "However, the time and method of the natural disaster are uncertain, so you must pay attention in the future."
We nodded quickly, as if we were facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to be careless.
The catastrophe is coming soon, and only by finding a savior can we end this catastrophe sweeping through the Yin and Yang worlds of the Four Nine Cities. We must not neglect it and must remain vigilant at all times.
At this time, the crazy Taoist came out of the kitchen with a plate of vegetarian dishes, placed it neatly in front of the Smiling Buddha, and said: "Come on, please use it."
The Smiling Buddha was still smiling, looked at the crazy Taoist cheerfully, and said, "Don't be so polite. It scares me to death. I really can't stand it."
It seems that the Smiling Buddha is actually another type of facial paralysis, similar to the old cat. The old cat has a cold face, expressionless from beginning to end, while the Smiling Buddha has a smiling face, with the same expression from beginning to end. These two people
If we walk together in the future, it will definitely look like we are showing a slide show.
Because the Laughing Buddha wants to bring Rhubarb back to life, the crazy Taoist now serves the Laughing Buddha almost like his own father. Not only does he accept the Laughing Buddha's pickiness, but he also takes the initiative to loosen the Laughing Buddha's overworked legs and feet.
Dahuang couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly went over to do it for him. Seeing that Dahuang was quite enlightened, the crazy Taoist simply sat aside and let Dahuang give the two old guys a massage.
The Smiling Buddha was eating his vegetarian meal in a hurry, and his grandfather suddenly asked: "Lord Buddha, since you are here this time, why don't you just wait until the catastrophe is over before you leave?"
Buddha chuckled, shook his head and said: "That's all, Almsgiver Lao Lin, Buddha, I'm not from Yanjing. To be honest, I'm not as concerned about the affairs of Sijiu City as you are. You asked me to save this kid, just for your sake."
Yes, I won’t hesitate, but if you ask me to save these unrelated people in Sijiu City, I still don’t have that high level of consciousness.”
Grandpa smiled bitterly and said, "People say that my family is compassionate, but it seems that this is wrong?"
Buddha smiled again and said: "You can't say that. Compassion is just a layman's statement. Buddhism emphasizes reincarnation and retribution. In fact, it is somewhat similar to Taoism's rule of inaction. Since they have encountered these catastrophes, it means that all
It's their karma and I can't interfere with it."
Grandpa saw that he could not persuade Buddha to help, so he no longer forced others to do anything, so he could only lower his head and drink in silence.
Buddha seemed to feel that he was being unjust and said: "Donor Lao Lin, it's not that Buddha doesn't want to give you face this time, it's just...well, we only care about reincarnation. Li Gui has already jumped out of the circle of reincarnation and is not under Buddha's control. If you
If you really don’t like Buddha, you can just scold me a few words, but Buddha will scold you for nothing!”
But grandpa smiled and shook his head and said: "No, Lord Buddha, you are too worried." After that, grandpa suddenly pointed at us and said: "Actually, after this disaster, our older generation should have withdrawn from history long ago.
Now is the stage, the real protagonists are them..."
After hearing this, I couldn't help but become nervous. I looked back at Lao Mao and Da Huang, and found that both of them were also frowning and nervous.
This catastrophe seems destined to be dealt with by our new generation...
