Four hundred and thirteenth chapters give a man a fish to fish(1/2)
After searching for him for thousands of times in his dream, Li Xiuyuan never expected that Wu Xin would become like this after reincarnation.
Although he knew that this was just what Wuxin would look like one day in the future, he still felt a little sad in his heart.
"My Excellency, Li Xiuyuan, is a native of Fengyun City. I was very happy to see you teaching me in a back alley today. I would like to ask you for advice."
Although there is no trace of cultivation, Wu Xin is not afraid of power or evil. This is the Wu Xin in Li Xiuyuan's heart.
And Wu Xin saw how extraordinary the young man in front of him was. He actually made those guys blind instantly just by looking at him. This was a hero in his mind.
The two cherished each other and unintentionally let Li Xiuyuan into the shabby house.
Sitting in the small room, Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and took half a jar of the spiritual wine brewed in Loulan using the snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain in the prehistoric world.
Wuxin took two bowls from the shelf behind him, and Li Xiuyuan slowly poured them into them.
I can't change your past, nor can I change your future, but I can at least try to change your present moment.
In his opinion, Minghui in Prajna Temple might be able to become a saint in the physical body based on his understanding of Buddhism.
Wu Xin, who has experienced several catastrophes in his life, may be able to rely on his understanding of the poems and books of sages to educate all living beings in the world and become a saint with the power of all living beings.
There is no fixed number for the Three Thousand Great Avenues, everything is man-made.
He decided to create an unprecedented saint in Kangchuan City, in this shabby alley with sewage flowing across it.
After experiencing calamities for several lifetimes, Wuxin developed a heart of compassion, wisdom, and bodhicitta.
Now Li Xiuyuan just needs to help him build a benevolent heart that resonates with heaven and earth.
Holding the spirit wine in his hand, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Don't worry, drink this bowl of wine. I will take care of the children's afternoon class."
Walking around the world, Li Xiuyuan asked himself if he could teach an enlightening text to these children.
Wuxin in front of him was still intoxicated by what Li Xiuyuan said before, looking at the amber-colored spiritual wine in front of him,
He sighed softly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "This bowl of wine is probably worth the meat these children eat for half a year."
Wuxin used the most understandable words to hit the soft spot in Li Xiuyuan's heart, almost causing him to collapse.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So, do you want to teach people how to fish? Or teach people how to fish?"
Wu Xin lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He lowered his head and thought hard for a moment. He looked at him and replied seriously: "If God's will is so, I will give it all to them."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Sir, you are compassionate."
The unintentional concession made Li Xiuyuan sigh with emotion.
I thought to myself that Wu Xin, who had seen the suffering of all sentient beings, was indeed no longer comparable to Wu Xin, a monk in the Prajna Temple in his previous life.
If Wu Xin in Prajna Temple was just taking care of himself, Wu Xin now has the heart of a saint, and is determined to use his own efforts to change the future destiny of the children in the shanty towns here.
This is even worse than teaching Dharma to others as mentioned in Buddhism.
This has risen to the point of speaking Dharma to all living beings, just as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "Unless hell is empty, I swear I will never become a Buddha."
Wu Xin, who was too drunk, drank a bowl of spiritual wine, ate half of the black-faced steamed buns given by the students, chewed a piece of dried meat brought by Li Xiuyuan, then fell asleep on the bed with his clothes on.
Today is a memorable day for him.
It was not because the young man who suddenly appeared helped him fight off the bully who came to collect protection money, but because the young man allowed him to hear the words of the saint, which made him feel happy.
Looking at Wu Xin who was lying on the bed and snoring, Li Xiuyuan said lightly: "Drinking makes the heart happy, and joy breeds virtue."
He quietly looked at the remaining wine in the bowl and grinned.
Wuxin has started his new life, does he still need to ask about the cause of his death?
There was the sound of a group of children playing outside the house, and it was almost time for class.
Gently caring about the door, Li Xiuyuan took out a small blackboard from the house and followed the children to a classroom built with bamboo sheds behind the wooden shed.
"Your teacher is not feeling well today, so I will teach you a lesson. The textbook will be sent to you in a few days."
Li Xiuyuan cleared his throat and prepared to teach the children.
Seeing the loss of a husband, the dozen or so children suddenly became much better behaved and became quieter.
Li Xiuyuan nodded with satisfaction, held a piece of limestone, and wrote on the blackboard the sentence of his first class in his life.
The poor versus the rich, the fortress versus the open road, the wild old man versus the stream boy.
The eyebrows are green against the white temples, and the lips are red against the white teeth.
The sky is vast, the sun is shining, the sword is facing the curved bow.
…
For the first time in his life, Li Xiuyuan stood in the classroom and patiently explained the meaning of these poems to the children.
Suddenly, I feel that I have a trace of my father and wife when I was a teacher at Chunfeng Academy.
Wuxin in the wooden house was snoring gently, and there was a faint golden light shining around him.
The elixir from the ancient world and the spiritual wine from the Xuanwu Continent were slowly changing his frail physique.
The golden light only spread in the dilapidated stone house, and did not affect the children behind the house who were holding their chins and studying the new text with their husband.
Li Xiuyuan even taught the children to sing a children's song he learned in Fengyun City.
Finally, he promised the children to copy today's text to them by hand, and the group of children were satisfied.
Looking at the flower-like children in front of him, Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and took out a dozen silver coins and put one in each hand.
Then he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Tell your parents, starting from tomorrow, don't bring meals to your husband."
After a pause, he continued: "From now on, Mr. Wuxin will give you a silver coin every month to improve your life."
Thinking of his unintentional ambition, Li Xiuyuan decided to help him realize it on his children.
In two days, first buy some clean clothes for these children, and then go to the east of the city to buy pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and new textbooks.
Just like Wu Xin said, while he wanted to teach the children how to fish, he also wanted to let them eat well and wear clean clothes.
With a wave of his hand, the voices of women calling for their children could be heard in the alley. After the children from poor families had finished eating, they had to go to bed and lie down and not move around, otherwise they would have to go hungry at night.
After a long night, Li Xiuyuan was deeply touched for the first time.
With a wave of his hand, Li Xiuyuan told the children to go home from school, and repeatedly told the children to collect the silver coins and hand them over to their parents at home.
The children were very happy, and then ran outside the bamboo shed chattering.
With this silver coin, they will not go hungry for two to three months in the future. In their hearts, today's little teacher has a good book and a better person.
None of the children had ever seen a silver coin before when they grew up, and they all thought that they would have to ask their parents for two copper coins to buy snacks when they got home.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the drafty classroom in front of him, imagining the snowy sky in winter, and remained silent for a while.
Even when he was on the Tianshan Mountains, he had never experienced such hardship.
Logically speaking, he should not have entered Wu Xin's life, let alone interfere with the growth of these children.
However, as the old Taoist priest said, my youngest disciple is really soft-hearted.
When he saw Wu Xin after reincarnation in the deep alley in the west of Kangchuan City, his heart could no longer harden.
Back in the stone house, the sky was getting darker, the golden light receded, and Wuxin, who was sleeping, opened his eyes.
"Thank you." Wu Xin said softly. When he woke up, he heard the children talking about the silver coins. He knew that these children were talking about something big.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the stone house with bare walls in front of him, imagining the scenery of Wu Xin's previous life.
I sighed again and again in my heart, and for a while I was speechless and couldn't say a word.
If he had to use a poem to describe it, he just wanted to say: "When the falling flowers and flowing water spring go, it will be in heaven and on earth." He didn't know what kind of family Wu Xin was reborn in in this life, but his understanding of Wu Xin in the past was really the same as in heaven.
, the difference underground.
When Wu Xin saw it was him, he sighed heavily and said, "The world is in trouble, can you help them for the rest of your life?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "I can't, but you can."
Wuxin asked him to sit down, poured a bowl of cold water, and said quietly: "The world is unkind. I can only change their minds, but I can't change their future."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Thoughts can change your life, and so can you."
Wu Xin took a bowl of water from the jar, drank it all in one gulp, and touched his stomach, obviously feeling hungry.
After thinking for a while, he said quietly: "I am determined to change everything here, but my power is meager and not enough to let the children live the life they want."
Li Xiuyuan lit the stove nearby, placed an iron pot on it, and took some monster meat and bamboo shoots. He planned to cook a pot of meat porridge for Wu Xin.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I might stay here for a few years to help you achieve what you want to do, how about that?"
Quietly, Li Xiuyuan poured a cup of divine spring into the pot, thinking that although I can't make you become a god overnight, I hope you can enlighten yourself and become a saint in this world one day.
When Wu Xin heard this, he smiled and said: "Why are you here, Master? In my opinion, you don't look like a child from a poor family. How can you have the compassion of Buddhism?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "If I told you that you look very similar to a friend of mine, and I came here for your sake, would you believe it?"
Wuxin smiled when he heard this and said: "There are so many people with similar faces in the world? I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied leisurely: "I was just passing through here. Since we met, it is fate. I will help you realize your dream."
After reincarnation, Wuxin became a scholar and no longer a practitioner. This was something that Li Xiuyuan found difficult to accept.
