After Fan Yang finished talking about the past, he got up and walked up the mountain with the support of his granddaughter.
Lingxi motioned for us to follow and asked casually: "Are you and Xiao Yu'er the only two people left in the Fan family now?"
"Yes." Fan Yang stopped slightly and said, "My three sons and two grandsons all died inexplicably."
"The boss, Fan An, broke the back of his head and was sent to the hospital where rescue efforts failed."
"The eldest grandson was a mountaineering enthusiast. He fell into the abyss at the bottom of the cliff and lost his body."
"The second brother, Fan Le, died drunk at home after a party."
"His son, my second grandson, committed suicide by jumping off a building because of emotional matters."
"As for Fan Kang..."
Fan Yang said in a low tone: "He strangled himself to death."
"But I know that he was bewitched by the evil spirit of Xiao Yu'er's mother."
"It's his life, he deserves it."
Ji Qinghe said bluntly: "Your eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law should be fine. After all, their surname is not Fan."
Fan Yang said with complicated eyes: "There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. It is the Fan family that Xiao Yuer's mother wants to take revenge on, so as not to implicate others."
"I hid in Luohan Temple for eight years, just because I wanted to use Buddhism to resolve the retribution of heaven and seek a chance for survival."
"It's a pity that even if the Buddha's teachings can save my life and Xiao Yu'er's life for the time being, it still can't erase the destined disaster."
"At most, there will be another five years. Once the scourge is completed, we will definitely die when it lands."
When Fan Yang said this, he turned to look at Lingxi and said, "You said there is a way to help Xiao Yu'er, is this true?"
Lingxi was silent for a while, then responded: "There's a 60% chance."
Fan Yang's eyes flashed and he said: "Sixty percent, that's quite a lot."
Without waiting for Lingxi to speak, he pointed it out directly: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, you have gone through all the trouble to come to Luohan Temple to find me. You must have something to ask for from me."
"Tell me, is there anything you need me to do?"
"As long as I can save Xiao Yu'er, I won't hesitate to risk my life."
Lingxi raised her hand and pointed at the red string tied around Xiao Yu'er's wrist, and said calmly: "I want Bodhicitta."
Fan Yang looked a little stunned and said dullly: "Is this the request?"
"Well, that's the only request." Lingxi said simply.
Fan Yang put his eyes on me, shook his head slightly and said, "It's not enough to suppress the yin energy in him with bodhichitta."
"It's not enough, so I have to gather three great sun things." Lingxi confessed: "I found the purple and gold rooster's comb as early as after the New Year, and I also have clues about the seedless sunflower."
"As long as you have bodhicitta, you can almost get the three great yang things."
Fan Yang said no more and asked Xiao Yu'er to take off the red rope from his wrist and hand it to Ling Xi himself. He recalled, "This Bodhicitta was given to me by my master on the day when I was apprenticed to him.
"
"He said that one Bodhicitta can emerge from thousands of Bodhi seeds."
"This object contains Buddhist energy, and when worn close to the body, it has the effect of calming the mind and warding off evil spirits."
Lingxi took the Bodhicitta from Fan Yang and said with joy, "It's true. The most difficult thing to find among the three great yangs is Bodhicitta."
"The older the bodhicitta is, the more yang energy it has."
After saying that, Lingxi handed the Bodhicitta to me and said, "Put it away. Don't lose it."
I was so excited that I held this thing that was similar to a walnut tightly, as if I had found a rare treasure.
Afterwards, we followed Fan Yang up the mountain and had a vegetarian meal with him.
Green vegetables, radish and white tofu are tasteless and hard to whet your appetite.
