Zhiming asked slowly, his tone was calm, and no blame or punishment could be heard.
But you can hear a bit of weariness and helplessness in Zhiming's tone.
"What did Master say?"
Yuan Xin shook her head, looking innocent, with even a few tears in her eyes.
"Master, I have eaten a cockroach. I am a pure victim..."
"victim?"
Zhiming shook his head.
"There is a difference between candle roasting and normal roasted chicken.
Moreover, although I, the young monk, have no ability, Buddhist disciples can also detect the death time of a living being.
The death time of this cockroach should be less than half a stick of incense."
Hearing Zhiming's words, Yuan Xin "tsk" in disdain.
In Yuan Xin's expression, there was no trace of repentance. Instead, there was an expression of "If I had known I would have covered it up better, why was it exposed?"
"Let's go, I'll go with you to apologize to the donor."
"Apologise? Why are you apologizing?! Does he have anything to lose?"
Yuan Xin looked at Zhiming angrily.
"Because you have caused trouble to others and caused mental damage to them, we should go and make amends to the world." Zhiming spoke slowly.
"trouble?"
The center of the circle repeated Zhi Ming's words.
"Monk! I have suffered enough this year.
The kindness you keep saying is, in my opinion, just hypocrisy!
I know you are rich!
At that time you were not willing to give me more money, you just gave me enough money for food and drink for a month.
What about me in a month?
What should I do after one month?
Am I not starving to death?
Is there any point in doing this?
Let me live one more month?!
This year, how many people have begged you, but you only give a little, otherwise you don’t give!
When you encounter bandits who want to rob civilian girls, you just drive those bandits away, but you don’t want to kill them!
What should I do if they rape civilian girls again in the future? Can those people also meet kind-hearted people like you?
Monk! You keep saying that you should do more good deeds, but in the end, you do nothing at all!
You can't do anything!
You see that the landlady of this inn treats you with respect and kindness, that’s because the landlady of this inn is a Buddhist.
Therefore, she took great care of us. Didn’t you see that this innkeeper didn’t even give leftovers to beggars?
You saw that the waiter in the shop was very innocent and in awe of us, but he didn't know that when he treated people who had no money, he wanted to pick up a broom and drive them away.
What you Buddhists call so-called rescuing people from suffering!
What kind of suffering is being saved?
What is the difficulty of saving?!"
Yuan Xin finished speaking in one breath, her little hands clenched into fists, her face flushed.
"Please speak!"
Seeing that Zhiming was silent, Yuan Xin opened the door, went downstairs and ran out of the inn.
"Amitabha."
Zhiming chanted the Buddha's name and looked at the endless night through the window.
After a little more time than a stick of incense, Zhiming found the center of the circle in a small alley.
The center of the circle is hugging his own body. Because the weather is gradually entering winter, curling up can preserve body heat.
If a girl ran out so late at night, something bad would have happened to her.
But the center of the circle is a "boy", so the danger is less.
But just in case, Zhiming had cast a small spell on Yuan Xin's body.
The first is to prevent any accidents in the center of the circle.
The second is to prevent the center of the circle from committing another crime or stealing something without knowing when and where.
"Why did you come to me?!"
Looking at Zhiming, Yuan Xin said harshly.
"I left, shouldn't you be very happy? Finally, no one will cause you any trouble, and you don't need to look at me anymore to get annoyed!
It was not you who drove me away, but I left on my own. Your hypocrisy has been satisfied! There is no need to blame yourself!"
Zhiming stepped forward and stood in front of Yuan Xin:
"If in your heart, Yuan Xin, Xiao Monk is hypocritical, then Xiao Monk would like everyone in the world to be more hypocritical.
In this way, perhaps, if there is too much 'hypocrisy', then there is 'truth and goodness'."
Yuan Xin looked at Zhiming blankly: "What kind of strange fallacy is this?"
"So, the young monk is looking for the truth."
Zhi Ming clasped his hands together.
"also.
What you said about the center of the circle.
The young monk didn't think it was wrong.
However, the young monk didn’t think it was right either.
Human desires are endless.
No matter how much money the monk gives them, it will all be lost.
As long as there is no more or no less, they will cherish it and use it.
Five taels of silver can last them two months.
But they might not be able to use five hundred taels of silver in a month.
And after experiencing the feeling of money and luxury.
When they return to their previous lives, they will be even more unbearable, and may even do evil and harm other people for money.
In addition, regarding the thieves, Yuan Xin saw them running away. In fact, I calculated that they would be captured by the government on the second day.
Otherwise, I will personally send them to the government.
As for the waiter, everyone is neither purely good nor purely evil.
The other party didn't do anything terribly evil, so there is no need to embarrass others.
No one is a saint, and no one is truly perfect.
If a person treats you kindly, at the very least, he must give others the most basic respect.
As for the center of the circle, what you said at the end.
The so-called relief from suffering according to Buddhism!
What kind of suffering is being saved?
What is so difficult to save?!
In fact, the young monk is also looking for it."
Listening to these words Zhiming said, Yuan Xin froze on the spot.
This monk seems to be a little special.
But I don’t know what is so special about the center of the circle.
"You can follow the center of the circle, or you can leave. It all depends on your own wishes."
After saying that, Zhiming turned and left.
However, before Zhiming had taken many steps, Yuan Xin ran to Zhiming's side.
Zhiming pretended not to see it and continued walking forward.
Yuan Xin also seemed to have put aside all the previous conflicts and continued to follow Yuan Xin.
In fact, Yuan Xin was a little scared. After all, staying with this monk was a long-term meal ticket.
"After you go back, I will take you to apologize to the donor."
"Tsk."
"You did something wrong in this matter, Yuan Xin. Of course, I am also responsible. It was my lax discipline."
"Tsk."
"Don't smack your lips."
"Tsk."
"You are a woman and you will get married in the future. If so, who will marry you in the future?"
"Tsk."
…
