Just when I was doubtful, I heard the aunt from before say again: "These monks are monks invited by the ferry company to come to the mountain to conduct the transcendental ceremony. When the time comes, an inscription of Amitabha will be erected here!"
"
"The ferry company?" I repeated casually.
The aunt nodded and said: "Yes, it's the ferry company. It is said that the manager of the ferry company led people to fish out the bodies under the Yanziwo bridge two days ago and fished a mother and her son out of the boat. After returning, the manager
He fell ill and talked nonsense. He was sent to the hospital but nothing happened, and he fell ill again after he came back. Later, he asked a qigong master who knew about psychics to see him. The master said that the manager was hit by a ghost when he was removing the corpse.
It was also said that the capsizing accident was related to the resentful spirits on the river."
"It just so happened that the manager was the younger brother of the owner of the ferry company. The qigong master's words naturally reached the ears of the owner of the ferry company. Since the qigong master cured the manager's disease, the owner of the ferry company believed in the qigong master. After the qigong master
At his suggestion, he decided to invite the temple’s masters to go to the Wulin River to hold a large-scale transcendence ceremony. No, that’s why we have this spectacular scene today.”
After listening to the aunt's words, I remembered that when the corpse was retrieved that day, the manager did say some disrespectful words to the female corpse. Later, the female ghost even glared at the manager! It seems that this happened thanks to the mother and son.
Only ghosts can do it.
"Qiao Yang, look quickly, Peng Waibo is coming."
Suddenly I heard Lian Xiaoru shouting to me softly.
I raised my eyes and looked forward, and sure enough I saw Peng Waibo walking straight towards me.
His body is almost transparent and cannot be seen clearly. Obviously, this is his soul.
"Qiao Yang, you have to be careful! What we are seeing now is Peng Waibo's soul. Don't say hello to him! It is said that if you see someone who is about to die, you can't call him. Otherwise, you will be unlucky.
If it’s not good, I’ll take you away too.”
Lian Xiaoru warned me.
I nodded and just looked at Peng Waibo quietly.
He passed by me, I didn't say hello to him, and he seemed to have not seen me. He just kept walking forward in a daze.
After a while, he walked to the riverside, stared at the riverside for a while, then turned around and walked towards the bridge again.
My eyes fell on him and never left him for a moment. I saw Peng Waibo sitting on the bridge, looking at the river below. After sitting there for several minutes, he stood up again and turned around to face the river under the bridge.
The Dharma altar comes.
He stopped on one side of the altar and listened quietly to the monks chanting sutras. As he listened, he started crying and kept wiping his eyes with his hands.
After crying for a while, he straightened up his chest, stared at the river in the distance, and walked straight towards the golden light on the river. Finally, like a moth to a flame, he got into the golden light, and his figure was covered bit by bit.
The golden light engulfed it until it disappeared without a trace.
This is a golden light formed by the chanting of sutras by the mages, which is used to transcend the souls of the dead in the surrounding areas of the Wulin River.
"Peng Waibo is gone?" Lian Xiaoru sighed.
I nodded and remained silent, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
Life is only a few decades, so why is it so hurried? In the end, it is just a passer-by who "comes here for a visit". A hundred years later, who knows that you will come to this world again?
I fell into deep thought. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shout: "Look! A monument is about to be erected."
Following the sound, I saw a circle of people gathered on the bank of the river, and a crane was hoisting a large stone tablet. On the stone tablet were written the six characters "Namo Amitabha".
It didn't take long for the stele to be erected, and soon the master recited loudly: "Namo Amitabha" and then worshiped it.
Hundreds of monks and believers also bowed down together and recited in unison: "Wannan Amitabha".
"Did you see that when the inscription was erected, the souls on the river disappeared." Lian Xiaoru suddenly whispered to me.
I looked carefully towards the river, and I couldn't see even a single soul.
"I didn't expect that the inscription 'Amitabha' on the stele is so powerful in suppressing evil spirits, it is more powerful than the Taishan stone." I couldn't help but admire it.
"Brother, this is not called suppressing evil spirits. It is called extradition law. The purpose of erecting the inscription 'Amitabha' is not to suppress these dead souls, but to transcend them."
"Because before Amitabha Buddha became a Buddha, he once made four vows, one of which was 'the wish to be born and the fruit of his wish will come true'. The general meaning is that as long as all sentient beings in the ten directions hear Amitabha's name and think of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss,
For those who sincerely recite the Buddha's name and are willing to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, Amitabha Buddha will definitely fulfill their wishes. Otherwise, Amitabha Buddha would rather not attain enlightenment. If you have time, you can read the "Buddha Speaks of Infinite Life Sutra". It says very clearly that this
This is the twentieth of Amitabha’s four vows.”
Lian Xiaoru replied with a smile.
"You can die just by chanting the Buddha's name. The power of this wish is incredible!" I answered in surprise.
Lian Xiaoru smiled at me and said, "What's so strange about this? 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.' As soon as a person plants the bodhicitta, he is already a Buddha. It is said in the Lotus Sutra.
There is a famous saying, 'Everyone who calls Namo Buddha has attained Buddhahood'. As long as you have enough faith and recite Buddha once with sincerity, you can recite it thousands of times."
"I don't understand! What you said is really too profound." I shook my head.
"I'm taller than you. What's so hard to understand? You're still a cultivator." Lian Xiaoru glanced at me with disdain.
"What I practice is Taoism, not Buddhism." I replied unconvinced.
"All dharmas return to their roots, and everything is created by the mind. No matter what dharma is practiced, what is ultimately cultivated is a person's mind. The Buddha talks about self-nature and emptiness, and Tao talks about original nature and general nature. In fact, they are the same. Put down the butcher knife and immediately become a person.
Buddha means that a person has already possessed Buddha nature. With Buddha nature, becoming a Buddha is just a matter of time. As long as the belief is firm, it will only take one moment to survive ten thousand kalpas."
Lian Xiaoru replied.
"I understand now. It's like time. For the same hour, it's particularly painful when waiting for someone, but when sleeping, it's just a matter of opening and closing your eyes."
I replied with a smile.
"Just understand."
Lian Xiaoru turned around and winked at the previous inscription "Amitabha" and said, "Did you see it? Now the inscription has been erected. The resentment on the river is gone. I believe that the Yanziwo Bridge will not be used for long.
It can be closed. In the future, anyone who crosses this bridge or passes by this place will see this inscription."
"People passing by this place will inadvertently recite 'Namo Amitabha' when they see the inscription. As long as they recite the name of the Buddha, they will have merit. Because this inscription has been blessed by eminent monks, it has infinite magical power and can overcome countless dead souls and resentments. Passing by
There are countless people here, so that there are thousands of voices on the river, and even Buddha's chants, and the sound of the sound can ferry people away, and the dead souls and resentments on the river can be ferried away, and it is difficult for this place to be unsafe."
Xiaoru's words have given me some insights. I have heard Uncle Yuan say before that erecting an "Amitabha" monument by some rivers where people often drown, or in places prone to car accidents, can defuse their evil spirits. I started by saying that
I thought it had the same effect as Taishan Stone, but I didn't expect that there was such a profound Buddhist philosophy in it.
I was thinking in my mind when suddenly I heard the cell phone in my pocket ring.
I picked up the phone and heard that it was Lin Min calling.
"Qiao Yang, please come to the hospital! Peng Waibo probably won't survive. He said he wanted to take a last look at you."
"What? Peng Waibo is dying?"
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. Although I had just seen Peng Waibo's wandering soul taking advantage of this transcendental ceremony to reincarnate, when I actually heard the news, I still felt a little sad.
After I hung up the phone, Xiaoru and I rented a car and went straight to the hospital.
When we rushed to the hospital, there was a circle of people surrounding the hospital ward.
Lin Min and Peng Waibo's woman were also among them.
"Brother Peng!" I shouted with a choked voice.
Peng Waibo showed a smile. He winked at the person next to him and said with difficulty: "You guys go out first! I have a few words to say to this little brother."
Everyone was getting ready to disperse.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Mr. Peng!"
My heart couldn't help but tremble, and I immediately looked back. I saw a middle-aged man hurriedly entered the room. Behind him, there was a tall man in a suit. He looked like a man.
Bodyguard. Soon someone made way for the man named Mr. Peng.
I felt suspicious in my heart, thinking that this guy must be the boss of the Peng Group, that is, he hinted that Peng Waibo killed the female corpse in Yinluo Lake.
He was the real person behind the incident of human sacrifice on the bridge.
"Crooked neck! What's wrong with you?" Mr. Peng squeezed past me without considering my feelings at all.
Peng twisted his neck and coughed a few words, then smiled bitterly and said to Mr. Peng: "It's okay, it's just late stage lung cancer. I can still live for a few dozen minutes."
"Crooked neck, no matter how much money it costs, I will find a way to save your life." Mr. Peng said through gritted teeth.
Peng Waibo shook his head, as if he didn't want to hear what Mr. Peng had to say. He just cast his eyes on my face and shouted with difficulty: "Qiao Yang, come here."
"Yeah!" I nodded and prepared to go.
Unwilling to, Mr. Peng held Peng Waibo's hand tightly and refused to leave, shouting: "Waibo, you'll be fine."
I know that Peng Waibo can't live much longer. What he discovered is that he just left a remnant soul here. It won't be long before the remnant soul's soul energy is cut off, and he will really die in the west.
The so-called advanced stage of lung cancer is just an appearance used to deceive the world. The real person has already been reincarnated.
If you have anything to say, you have to let him say it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no chance once the residual soul's soul energy is cut off.
Thinking of this, I said to Mr. Peng: "Sir, could you please step aside for a moment? Brother Peng still has something to say to me."
When Mr. Peng heard this, he immediately yelled at me: "What are you talking about? Who are you? I'm the oldest here. I said he can't die with a crooked neck."
"Whether he dies or not is not up to you." I said unconvincingly: "Get out of the way!"
"What are you doing!"
The tall man behind him immediately rushed up and was about to grab me by the collar.
She didn't want to, but Lin Min rushed over and blocked her with her hands. She yelled at the bodyguard: "What do you want to do? I'm a policeman. Don't act arrogant here. If you piss me off, I'll handcuff you all."
"
When Mr. Peng's bodyguard heard this, he let go of me with some discomfort. His eyes fell on his boss's face.
Mr. Peng glanced at Lin Min and said coldly: "Crooked Neck is my employee and my fellow countryman. I have the final say in his affairs."
After that, the guy put his hand on Peng Waibo's face, and said with a smile: "Waibo, you can't die, the Yanziwo Bridge has not been completed yet! I will definitely ask the best doctor to give him
You see a doctor."
Peng Waibo glanced at him with disgust and said coldly: "Peng Zhenshuang, let's go! I don't need you to come see me. Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Peng Zhenshuang opened his mouth and looked at Peng Wainbo in disbelief, "Wainneck, how could you talk to me like this?"
Seeing this guy's embarrassed look made me want to laugh.
I shouted to this guy unceremoniously: "Let's go! Brother Peng, I don't want to work for you anymore. He wants to be a human being, but he doesn't want to be your dog anymore."
