"Huh..." Shi Xin took a deep breath, "Second of the Shadow Division..."
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Shi Xin's brows were already dripping with sweat.
"Looking at Master's expression, I'm afraid you're quite surprised, right? It's a sin to have a Buddhist disciple appear in an organization like the Metropolitan Procuratorate...is it a sin?"
"How did the donor know? Could it be that between the donor and the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
"Master, there is no need to worry about the relationship between me and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I just want to know, what should Master do when he knows Fusheng's situation at this time?"
"Amitabha." Shi Xin sighed, "Donor, you have won. The poor monk can tell me a few things about Fu Sheng. However, in exchange, you should also tell the poor monk what you know about Fu Sheng."
Xia Shang smiled in his heart and nodded in disbelief.
…
Ten years ago——
"Master, this time my disciple left the temple to visit several temples. They worshiped gods and Buddhas in various poses and had different appearances, but their names were the same as ours. The disciple was wondering, what do the Buddhas in the sky look like? Master.
Is it right or wrong to teach disciples about Buddha images?”
"Different people have different images of Buddhas in their minds. As the saying goes, Buddha is the image of all living beings, but this is actually wrong. Just because no one can see the images of Buddhas, they rely on personal imagination. Therefore, the images of gods and Buddhas in the world are different and cannot be seen.
It’s true.”
"Then are these Buddha statues in our Thousand Buddhas Temple right or wrong?"
"Of course it's right, and you have no doubts and even sincerity."
"If the images of gods and Buddhas in the Thousand Buddhas Temple are correct, then all the other temples are wrong. Then aren't other believers in Buddhism wasting their time and seeking the wrong gods and Buddhas?"
"Shi Xin, do you know why my teacher is called Shi Xin?"
"Master, please clarify."
"You are talented and intelligent, and your achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary. However, your mind is not calm in cultivating Buddhism, and it is easy to be disturbed by external things. The name Stone Heart means that your mind is like a rock, and it is immovable like a mountain. Only when your heart is pure can you practice.
You can attain enlightenment."
"Isn't the purpose of attaining the Dao just to save all sentient beings? Now that my disciple has not yet attained the Dao, he sees many fellow practitioners in the outside world practicing wrong methods. Why don't they correct them?"
"Shi Xin, there are many injustices in this world, so don't worry about it."
…
At this time, there seemed to be some discussion in the Wenhua Hall, and when it entered the side hall, Shi Xin's words became less clear.
"The confusion about the different shapes of Buddha statues in the world has troubled this poor monk for a long time. Although my master allowed me to practice with peace of mind, I was still troubled by the demonic obstacles in my heart. Half a month later, I finally left the temple privately and prepared to travel around the world. At that time, I firmly believed that my master was the master of Thousand Buddhas Temple.
The Buddha statues carved were real Buddha statues, and the Buddha statues in other temples were all wrong. So, the poor monk began his travels on the pretext of correcting the Buddha statues in the world.
On the way from Qianfo Temple to the capital to rest, the poor monk met Mr. Lu by chance. Although this man was a layman, he had profound insights into Buddhism. He was very close to the poor monk. Later, the poor monk offended him in the capital.
The powerful man, thanks to Mr. Lu's rescue, was able to leave the capital intact.
Before leaving the capital, Mr. Lu entrusted a child to a poor monk to teach him Buddhism. This child was extraordinary. He was only three years old at the time, but he was endowed with strange powers. At the age of three, he could easily
He weighed 100 kilograms. Moreover, the child was extremely violent and often uncontrollable. Legend has it that his parents died because of this. Mr. Lu said that he could not raise him and stayed in the capital for fear of causing trouble. Therefore, he wanted to be a poor monk.
Raise it.
The poor monk couldn't bear to refuse, so he took this son in as an act of repayment to Mr. Lu, and later named him Qingxin. Like the poor monk, he hoped that he would act with a pure heart and not be affected by the hostility in his heart. This child was the benefactor's.
That’s ridiculous.”
Shi Xin spoke very seriously, and his thoughts seemed to be completely immersed in memories. Thinking of the good things in the past, a faint smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Qingxin followed the poor monk to the hinterland of Bashu and lived in Bashu for five years. During these five years, Qingxin was tortured by the hostility in his heart and often accidentally injured the people of Bashu. He had no choice but to move to the mountains. The poor monk lived in Bashu for five years.
A Buddhist land was opened in the deep mountains. In addition to teaching some Buddhist teachings to Qingxin, he also carved Buddha statues. During this period, the poor monk obtained a sacred stone from the sky because of opening the mountain. He discovered that the anger in Qingxin's heart could be absorbed by the sacred stone.
, so he carved a sword to use with Fu Sheng for self-defense. Only then could he truly suppress the hostility in Qing Xin's body.
However, Qing Xin's natural supernatural powers and violent constitution make the poor monk feel uneasy. Ancient books say that those who commit innate supernatural powers must be monsters. In the past ten years, what the poor monk has been worried about is Qing Xin's situation as an adult. He is afraid that he will
I went astray. I wanted Qing Xin to spend his whole life in the mountains, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Lu found me five years ago and said he wanted to take Qing Xin away."
"A pure-hearted and upright young man, yearning for life in the outside world, is determined to follow Mr. Lu and leave. The poor monk has no reason to stop him, but he vaguely feels that there is something fishy. The identity of Mr. Lu is mysterious, and he knows the whereabouts of the poor monk through some unknown means. Moreover,
The poor monk felt that it was not a good thing for Qing Xin to follow Mr. Lu away, and it would be difficult to predict what Qing Xin would be like in the future. Unfortunately, Qing Xin had already made up his mind, and the poor monk was cured and let him go. At first, the poor monk was still very worried, but as time went by
As time went by, the poor monk gradually forgot about it, but when he returned to the capital this time, he unexpectedly met him. It seemed that God's will arranged that this bad fate would not end after all. Qingxin finally went to the place that the poor monk least wanted him to go.
A section of the way..."
"That Mr. Lu should be Lu Xun, the first official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"The first seat of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?!" Shi Xin was horrified, "No wonder... no wonder he has such ability. He can find poor monks even in the mountains of Bashu! But how can you be so sure?"
"the reason is simple."
With that said, Xia Shang took out his waist card.
But Shi Xin didn't recognize this thing, which made Xia Shang a little embarrassed.
"This is a token. Lu Xun gave it to me. It is the Mr. Lu that the master calls me."
"Ah?!" Shi Xin exclaimed.
Xia Shang was very calm. Now, he no longer had to hide his identity, especially in front of a Buddhist disciple.
"The meaning of this token is that now I will replace Lu Xun. Lu Xun died a year ago. Logically speaking, I should be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. And Fusheng, who is pure, belongs to my subordinate.
"
"You are the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" Shi Xin stood up in shock.
"Master, you don't need to be so panicked. My position as leader is just a slogan. You can also see that I am actually not in any danger."
Shi Xin paused, seeming to realize that Xia Shang didn't know martial arts, and then calmed down.
Xia Shang added: "Fusheng followed me for a while, but he left a year ago due to some things. His whereabouts are still unknown. I thought he would come back to find me, but now it seems that he does not need to continue to follow me.
