The early morning sunshine shines on the small village, unable to drive away the biting cold.
Especially in the north, the cold wind blows, the ground is completely white, and the snow does not melt all winter.
Fortunately, there is no farm work to be busy at this time, and everyone is huddled at home, commonly known as Cat Winter. It is not until the spring of the second year that everyone starts to go out of the house one after another and start the busyness of the new year.
This may be the time when the people in the village spend the longest time together with their families, and the various aspects of life are clearly revealed.
Li Yu felt every move in the village. He felt like a god, feeling the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of all living beings.
At nearly noon, a man stumbled in. He looked at the portrait, leaned forward and knelt on the futon.
The man seemed worried and looked around again. His face was full of wrinkles and his complexion was dark. At first glance, he looked like a farmer who faced the loess every day and turned his back to the sky.
"Serious god, I'm forty this year and I don't have a wife yet. Please bless me so that I can find a wife next year and continue the legacy of our Li family."
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times before sneaking out.
Li Yu didn't know what to do for a moment. He couldn't help him in this matter. He Man said that he was not a god, and even if he was, he couldn't help rashly.
He can't find a wife, maybe because his personality is too boring, maybe because his family is poor, maybe he has a bad reputation
If you help him yourself, wouldn't there be a high probability of harming an innocent woman?
A few hours later, a middle-aged man came into the temple. He also looked like a farmer, but after kneeling down, he was not asking for a wife.
"Blessed by the gods, I am sixty-four this year. I am an old man and a young man. It is all dependent on me to plow fields for others. Now I have a third son. This time he is finally a son, but the food rations at home are also the same.
I can’t get there. Please protect me from the gods and take away my mother as soon as possible to give the child a chance to live.”
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times respectfully.
Li Yu felt so uncomfortable that he almost came out of the clay sculpture, but in the end he forced himself to hold it back.
The world is human in its various forms.
This prayer was even more outrageous than the previous one, and it was even more impossible for me to help him.
But if you think about it carefully, is he a heinous beast?
But he also knows how to love his children.
Does he have any remaining conscience?
But he even hoped that the mother who raised him would die early.
Li Yu's ray of true energy followed him to his home, and as expected, his home was completely bare.
This man himself had not eaten for two days. To Li Yu's expectation, he gave his meal to his mother.
Looking at the woman with withered breasts and the skinny baby in her arms, Li Yu sighed inwardly.
The spiritual energy wrapped around the woman, causing her breasts to swell, and the milk even dripped onto the child's face.
The family was overjoyed. The child caught the baby and started sucking it hard.
Before I had time to think about it, another person came into the temple, this time an old man.
After he knelt down, he prayed for his son-in-law to die soon. Li Yu patiently continued to listen. It turned out that his son-in-law was a single descendant of the ninth generation. As long as the son-in-law died, all the land would belong to his daughter.
The old man was anxious to buy land for his grandson so that he could marry a wife. The other party asked for fertile land, but their descendants had already divided it among their descendants, so there was nothing they could do.
The old man kept chattering and said some impersonal words, but he actually thought he was being reasonable.
He even felt that he was doing it for his grandson out of compassion, and gods and Buddhas should bless him.
Soon, at night, the temple door was violently pushed open, and a sneaky, thin young man came in.
He rummaged through the merit box, but didn't pour out a penny. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, pushed the statue of Li Yu, and kicked the box over.
After confirming that there was nothing valuable to do, the thin monkey spread a layer of grass under the altar, lay down on it, and fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, the uninvited guest had already left.
A woman came in. Her child was seriously ill. She cried and asked Li Yu for help.
Li Yu followed her path and arrived at her home.
The whole family is like ants on a hot pot, surrounding the young child on the crib.
The house was filled with the strange smell of unknown herbs. Li Yu tested it and found that it was simply useless weeds.
The power of the water spirit wrapped around the young child's wrist and easily cured the child who felt cold.
In this era, the wind and cold are enough to kill people.
After the woman returned, she and his family thanked Li Yu profusely, and Li Yu felt a faint trace of merit and faith.
At night, a man and woman having an affair kicked open the temple door and performed a live erotic show in front of Li Yu.
The dirty words are unbearable.
third day;
Day 4;
fifth day;
Li Yu stayed there for ten days.
These ten days made him, a temporary god, very anxious and confused.
This is just a small Peach Blossom Village. There are hundreds of thousands of villages like this in the Six Dynasties, if not millions.
There are also larger towns and state capitals
Li Yu walked out of the statue and looked at his clay sculpture on the altar, as if he had some realization.
Buddhism says that all living beings are suffering, and we can only overcome it by ourselves.
The Taoists say that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as rotten dogs. Heaven and earth treat all things the same. No one is particularly good or particularly bad. Everything develops naturally.
In the small Peach Blossom Village, everyone has good and evil hidden in his heart.
No matter how evil a person is, they always have good thoughts in their hearts, and the kindest people also have some evil thoughts that are well hidden and not easily exposed.
Li Yu once said that if he likes to be poor, he will be good for himself, and if he is rich, he will help the world.
So how can he benefit the world at the same time?
In the past ten days, he once helped a poor craftsman, who was about to be delayed, but his hand was injured. After helping him once, he no longer wanted to continue working, but instead begged himself all day long.
When he no longer helped him, he forgot his first kindness and became resentful.
Tao follows nature. Does this kind of belief and merit belong to nature?
If it is a natural law of heaven, why are there so many self-contradictions?
If it doesn't belong, then who made this rule?
Li Yu came here to seek answers. When he left the small temple, he had more and more doubts in his heart.
This is a very profound and obscure problem, and it is impossible to suddenly understand it, unless an innate saint from the time when the world first opened came to give a lecture.
Even so, you still have to work hard to distinguish between right and wrong.
As he walked, he was thinking in his mind that before solving this doubt, he should try not to use the other spiritual power in his body.
As long as it's not a life-threatening situation, don't use that spiritual power unless you understand it thoroughly.
The spirit of the Five Elements is cultivated step by step by oneself. The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth are the purest way of nature.
