The store owner is in the lobby every day, greeting guests and keeping an eye on people coming in and out.
I don't know if the voice he heard in the middle of the night was a coincidence. In short, in the past few days, he had been paying more attention to the young gentleman who said he wanted to ask Mr. Li to do good deeds.
But it has been very normal these days.
That gentleman sometimes goes out, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the morning, and sometimes in the evening. He said he was tired yesterday and stayed in the inn all day.
Sometimes he would order food at the inn, and sometimes he would go out to eat. He was never stingy with money when ordering food at the inn. The shop owner would go out to buy meat for him almost every day. He said that he came here on the old road from Xuzhou, and the mountain road of hundreds of miles is basically the same.
If you haven't eaten good food, you can't treat yourself badly when you get to the city.
My husband is very kind to the cat and buys fish for it every day.
The clothes in the backyard have been dried in the sun, and the husband collected them yesterday. He said that he would not compensate for the loss because he was afraid that he would compensate him if it was really lost or falsely lost. In fact, it would never be lost.
This morning, the gentleman went out again, went out to pick up the new clothes he had made before, and told him that the workmanship of the three sisters of the Jiang family was really good, and she seemed to be very satisfied with it.
This gentleman took the cat with him wherever he went.
That cat is also amazing, it can follow him honestly.
As I said it, I thought of that horse again...
This gentleman must have some skills.
It's just that he said he wanted to ask Li Daguan to do good deeds, but the store owner didn't believe him. People's hearts are complex, and if they could be persuaded to do good deeds so easily, how could the gods and Buddhas be so capable, how could there be evil people in the world.
In the past few days, whenever this gentleman came in and out, he would chat with him. Sometimes when we were having dinner in the lobby, he would sit next to him and chat with this gentleman. It seemed that this gentleman liked to listen to whatever was said. Occasionally he would
I asked about Mr. Li Daguan, and the gentleman said that Mr. Li would come looking for him in a few days.
It's already the fifth day, how can anyone come?
The store owner wanted to see the excitement, but he didn't hold out hope.
"Sir, please go slowly..."
After sending away another table of customers, the shopkeeper patiently put away the dishes and carefully wiped the table.
The light at the door suddenly dimmed.
When he looked up, he saw a tall figure rushing in, his robes carrying the wind.
"Shopkeeper!"
"ah?"
The store owner was stunned.
It was the infamous Li Daguan.
"Guest sir..."
"Want a bowl of wine!"
"Sir, this is..."
"Just bring it!"
"good……"
The owner of the store has lived in the city for several generations. Although he is not the type to be manipulated by others, he does not dare to offend this gangster easily, so he quickly went to get a drink.
While drinking, the official Li asked from behind:
"A Taoist gentleman lives here?"
"Exactly!"
"Where?"
"The guest officer is looking for him..."
"Of course something happens."
"Sir, the wine is ready." The store handed him the wine, but he thought for a moment before saying, "Upstairs, room No. 2 on the ground floor, just go up the stairs and turn left."
"..."
Officer Li took the wine and hurriedly walked up the stairs.
The store owner thought that he was really here, and just when he was about to follow him to watch the excitement, he saw this idiot stopped in the stairwell and said angrily to himself: "Don't come up, don't eavesdrop, otherwise Sajia won't let you go!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
The store owner had to stop.
Go upstairs and turn left, which is Room No. 2.
Li Daguan stood at the door, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He hesitated for a long time before making a decision. He held the wine in one hand and raised the other hand to knock on the door.
Before my hand fell, I heard a squeak.
The door suddenly opened.
At first glance, Li Daguan saw no one inside, but when he lowered his eyes, he realized that there was a little girl standing in front of him.
The little girl is only a few years old. She is quite beautiful. Her face is white and tender, and there is no dust at all. She is wearing a tube top, a blouse and a skirt each of a different color. She is raising her head high.
He stared at himself without blinking, with no expression on his face, as if he was very serious.
"this……"
Officer Li was stunned for a moment.
Then I heard a voice coming from inside:
"Please come in."
This was the Taoist's voice.
The girl turned around and left after hearing this.
Officer Li hesitated again, then followed him in. After thinking about it, he closed the door again.
The room is very simple, with one window, a bed, and an unpainted wooden table, which can be used for eating and writing. It looks very old, and it is equipped with two benches.
The Taoist sat at the wooden table and on the bench.
The girl also went over and sat next to him.
Officer Li came over with the wine.
As soon as he put the wine on the table, he immediately smiled and, as he had practiced many times at home, he bowed, nodded and bowed: "Immortal Master, respected master, I know that I am wrong, and I know that I am wrong, please ask the Immortal Master
Raise your noble hand and unlock the magic from the villain."
After saying that, he immediately raised his hand and swore: "I swear! I swear to Zhou Lei Gong! I will change my past and do more good deeds from now on. If not, I will be struck by lightning!"
But he only saw the Taoist looking up at him.
The girl also looked up at him.
Just a calmness, a curiosity.
Li Daguan was stunned for a moment. His usual face with the nobles in the city seemed to have lost its effect, and he seemed to have forgotten to clean up during the drill at home. Under such a calm gaze, besides being at a loss, he only felt ashamed and uneasy.
Gradually he put down his swearing hand, not daring to look at this man.
My heart was pounding and my legs started to shake.
"sit down."
"..."
Official Li held the table and sat down.
I just heard the man say: "I thought you were coming to look for me two days ago."
Official Li did not dare to answer.
In fact, the day after he met this Taoist, he found that the statue of the Sensitive Immortal that he and others enshrined was broken, and the shrine still had traces of being struck by lightning. He knew something was wrong at that time, but how did he know that he would come to this Taoist?
What would be the outcome? I was confused for a moment, and I am still confused now.
At this moment, even though I have practiced it countless times at home, I still don’t know how to answer, and I still don’t know how to speak without making this person angry.
But I only heard a voice coming from the front:
"Where are the three denarii?"
"Take it, take it..."
Li Daguan hurriedly took out a small piece of silver from his arms, put it on the table, and said hurriedly: "No more, no less, exactly three coins."
Quietly looking at the table.
But he saw the Taoist reaching out to take it, put it into his arms casually, and said to him:
"Thank you."
Officer Li was stunned for a moment.
He just thought that the Taoist asked for the three coins and a bowl of wine for some wonderful purpose, but for some reason he put it in his arms.
Do you just want money?
If this is really the case, shouldn’t I take more? Let alone three taels, just three taels or thirty taels will do!
At this time, another voice came from the front:
"I heard that the officials were originally from a poor family in the city, but I don't know how they became like this?"
"The villain is also..."
Li Daguan was about to say that he was forced to tell lies to excuse himself, but when he inadvertently raised his eyes and looked into those calm eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He felt that those eyes were as calm as
He would not be angry, care, or surprised at anything he said, but it was this look in his eyes and this expression that made him swallow what he originally wanted to say.
"I'm just bored. I want to hear the officers' experiences. Since the officers are all here, I might as well tell the truth."
Yes--
That's what he felt it meant.
Now that we are here, why is there any need to lie to evade? In the face of such a master, what difference does it make between telling the truth and lying?
But how can those things be said?
Li Daguan's eyes and expressions changed uncertainly, and in the end he only said with a trembling voice: "The villain was used to living a hard life, but by chance he was lucky and found a way to live a good life... Later, the villain became accustomed to living among the nobles.
He bows his head to please in front of others and is fierce and cruel in front of the poor. The more he behaves like this, the better off the villain will be. If not, the villain will go back in fear."
"that is it?"
"yes……"
Li Daguan said bravely: "Please give me a chance to change my ways."
Song You couldn't help but smile.
I'm afraid it's more than that.
But he knew it in his heart, so he didn't ask.
Actually, I don’t care—
Song You did not explain the first half of Li Daguan's life and then guide him to be good. This was the ability of the Buddha to become a Buddha.
I saw him reaching out and flipping through it, taking out something and putting it on the table.
This object is about the size of a walnut, milky white in color, and shaped like a human heart. The details are clearly visible, and you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary object.
Li Daguan took a closer look and was shocked.
"May I ask, sir...what is this?"
"It's not a shame."
"What...what does it mean to not feel guilty?"
"This thing is naturally nourished by the earth. It is originally related to the good and bad thoughts in the world. Taking it with wine can prevent people from doing bad things."
This object is actually the essence of evil spirits bred by heaven and earth. It is recorded in a book, which not only records its edible, medicinal methods and effects, but also records its taste. When Song You left the mountain market town,
When he came across this kind of evil thing, he didn't take anything there, but burned them all with a fire. This was something he had bought with money in the market town before.
But official Li was trembling:
"What will happen if you eat it?"
"After eating it, you are not allowed to do bad things anymore. If you do, you will feel heartache, and the pain will become more and more painful until you die of pain."
"What if... what if I had done something wrong before?"
"You have to solve it on your own so that it doesn't hurt."
"Then how can we solve it?"
"The bad things you feel can be solved and you can make up for it. If you really can't solve it or make up for it, do more good deeds. If you have good deeds to resist it, you can also feel better." Song You said to him, "If an official lives his life, he will do more good deeds."
The evil deeds I have done have reached the point where I cannot resist them no matter what, so it would not be a pity to die in pain."
"How... how to solve it?"
"It's like an official who owes someone else a debt and goes to pay it off. If he knows that he has made others sad or wronged him, he will sincerely apologize, take good care of him and make up for the debt. If it is really irreparable, he will do more good deeds to resist it.
If you feel guilty in your heart, you will gradually be able to feel free of it."
"I……"
"I know that Guanren is a man with a sense of balance, so he can get this opportunity." Song You looked at him calmly, "Guanren did a lot of evil in the first half of his life. I must be aware of this, and Guanren also respects him.
That evil thing is a god, and if it continues like this, it is really difficult to end well. I hope that the official will no longer do evil from now on, do more good deeds, and make up for the evil deeds in the previous life, and then I am willing to use this heart of not being guilty on the official. If the official
If you don't want to do this, just leave here. The spell will still be released at noon and midnight, and the officials will not starve to death or die of thirst."
