Chapter 13 Release

"Amitabha, move gently and be careful." A woman who was Luo Qi's aunt followed him and chanted behind him.

"Hey, hey." Roach looked a little sad. He had just helped someone take a big woven bag out of the trunk of the car. "What's in here? Why is it still moving when it's so soft?"

"Young man, can you not move while you are still alive? If you are dead, it is not called release."

Luo Qi felt the movement of the heavy object in his arms, and his scalp exploded, "It's not a snake, right?"

The aunt smiled compassionately, "All living beings are equal, so what if it's a snake? Besides, snakes are the most spiritual, and freeing snakes will accumulate the most merit!"

"ah!"

Guan Xinyue was enjoying watching the excitement. Like Du Zhengyi, she was watching with hands on her hands, watching Luo Qi busy helping the lay people unload the goods. When the convoy that released the animals just came, they saw a few monks coming from behind.

come out of the house.

Guan Xinyue carefully walked around behind Luo Qi and said with a smile, "Buddha talks about cause and effect. How big a fate must you be to help save snakes in this Buddhist temple today? The history written on the Sansheng Stone may not predict your future life.

My wife is in this bag, be careful not to hurt her if you fall."

Luo Qi was already so busy that he was sweating profusely, but now his face turned green after hearing her words, "Shut up, you girl, why are you so mean-mouthed? You must have been a woodpecker in your previous life."

The aunt who released the life laughed and played with the little girl, "What the girl said is not wrong. There are six reincarnations. Who can tell clearly about the past and present lives? If you look at it as a snake and dislike it in this life, it might be a snake in the next life.

Beauty, after I get married to you, I will criticize you at home every day for making less money, won’t you suffer retribution?”

Luo Qi shivered, looked helpless, and shouted accusingly, "Auntie!"

Guan Xinyue covered her face and almost laughed.

Du Zhengyi also listened to their words with great interest, and gradually understood the theory of cause and effect and reincarnation they talked about. After thinking for a while, he asked the most practical question. "The temperature is so low now and the snow has not melted yet. Let's release the animals."

Can the snake survive?"

"Why can't they live?" the aunt said without even hesitating, and glared at him. "If you put them in the mountains, they will find a warm place to hide in the soil to hibernate. Snakes all hibernate, you know, right? You

Don't look at the snow all over the mountains and fields now, but it's warm in the soil under the snow. Have you seen frogs? Aren't they all hibernating to survive the winter? Such small frogs can survive the harsh winter. How can it be possible for snakes to be so intelligent?

Can’t survive it?”

Du Zheng laughed when he heard this, "That's true. I learned a lot today. Auntie came here specifically to release animals because she heard that this temple is the most spiritual. I also want to accumulate some merit and make a wish in this temple.

I wish, I don’t know if I should let go first?”

Luo Qi glanced at him and secretly thought that he was worried because he didn't expect that Du Zhengyi seemed to have no obstacles in interacting with the crowd. After thinking about it, he looked at Guan Xinyue again. That woodpecker girl was indeed very clever.

At this time, she didn't interrupt anymore, she lowered her head with a half-smile and looked a little bit obedient. In fact, you didn't need to guess to know that she was listening intently.

Auntie’s whole heart was dedicated to the cause of life release, and she didn’t have any extra thoughts to discover their complicated thoughts. When she heard that several young people were interested in me, she immediately became like a pot of charcoal. “Why don’t you come out and drive on your own?

Did you come across this place while traveling? Did you also come here for the Pure Land Temple?"

"Yes." Du Zhengyi responded. He was a little older and spoke calmly in front of others. His aunt was indeed more serious when talking to him than to Luo Qi. He pointed at Guan Xinyue, "This is our elder

My neighbor's granddaughter, her hometown is in this village, and she told us a while ago that the temple here is particularly efficacious. We happened to have something on our mind, and since we had nothing to do on the weekend, I took my brother here to have a look."

"Oh, that's no wonder." Auntie nodded, "I am a foreigner, but I only heard about this place after listening to my senior brother. Oh, let me tell you, although this temple is small, it is actually no worse than the Lingshan Ancient Temple."

Luo Qi laughed when he heard this, "So I can still save it? I'm going to write a wish on the wall inside - I will pass every exam!"

Du Zheng glanced at him and said, "Are you still thinking about this trivial matter? Auntie, look at my little brother, with his tiger-like head and big brain, isn't he quite cute?"

Luo Qi was horrified, this bastard was so cute!

The aunt also looked at Luo Qi and smiled, her eyes were like looking at her own boy. "Young man, it's useless to write your wish on the wall."

"Ah?" Luo Qi thought he was deliberately teasing him, "Why?"

The aunt smiled, but there was a hint of weirdness in her pious and kind face, and she lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Because the wishes on the wall are written for people to do."

"What?" Luo Qi asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Is it because releasing animals is a virtue, and helping others is even more virtue?" Du Zhengyi said suddenly.

"Oh," the aunt sighed, "you child is really wise. That's the truth. If we talk about it, freeing animals is still a small achievement, and helping others is the foundation of merit."

Luo Qi gave him a sideways look. He didn't believe that Du Zhengyi had any wisdom. That was because he didn't understand Buddhism at all, so he took it for granted. From what little Luo Qi knew, since Buddhism

If we emphasize that all living beings are equal and reincarnate in the six realms, we will not regard helping others as higher than releasing lives.

Probably anyone who believes in something will spare no effort to preach. When she met Luo Qi, who seemed to be particularly ungrateful, Auntie's fighting spirit was further aroused, and she vividly taught the three juniors the master's daily teachings.

.

It turns out that the wishes written on the walls of the temple were written for other people to see. The color of the prayer beads tied on the wish book indicates the size of the wish. The largest and most difficult wish is at the top, with the red sandalwood-colored beads on the bottom row being the smallest.

, a string of ivory white Buddhist beads. People who want to do good deeds and accumulate merit can come here to pick and browse at will. When they encounter a wish that they are destined to fulfill, they can pick off the string of beads on it. After doing good deeds, they can return the string of beads to the master.

That's it. The master in this temple will know how much merit each person has done by looking at the color of the beads, and will record the depth of each believer's blessings one by one on the ledger in the temple.

People who first come to the temple must first copy sutras and meditate, and then they are eligible to receive a string of the lightest color beads. Then there is the process of accumulating good karma. You can first pick the wishes on the wall that you can achieve. If you are really weak,

If you have little talent and can't accomplish anything for others, you can also choose to release your life. But crossing birds and animals is definitely not as fast as crossing the accumulated good deeds of people. But in short, the more good deeds you do, the more blessings you will accumulate, so you can

Make a bigger wish on the wall.

"This is a good way to teach people to be kind." Du Zhengyi said calmly.

"No, the master in this temple explains the Buddhist scriptures the most clearly. I have studied with other masters before, but they were neither as clear as what they said here, nor were they as compassionate as the master here." The aunt said with emotion.

Guan Xinyue couldn't help it, "Is this what it means to save people? What if someone makes any wish that is harmful to nature?"

"Amitabha," the aunt immediately recited, looking at the little girl, "in front of the Buddha, who dares to make a wish that is harmful to nature? Eat porridge at the risk of your life?"

Luo Qi slapped his hands with a smile and interrupted, "Auntie, just tell me, if I want to pass every exam, what should I do? My wish is much greater than the wishes on the wall asking for mobile phones and autographed photos of celebrities.

."

The aunt looked at him with a much more joyful look. He has not a strong personality, a good temper, and is gentle in everything he does. He is very popular with the elders everywhere. "If the willingness and merit are so great that even the wall cannot hold up, then there will be

I had the opportunity to meet the guru. There used to be a rich businessman like this. As soon as he came, he fulfilled all the wishes on the wall that could be realized with money, and he suddenly accumulated the qualifications to meet the guru."

Luo Qi laughed out loud, "This proves another truth, any wish that can be solved with money is not a wish."

"Then what is his wish?" Guan Xinyue asked.

The aunt thought for a while, "I heard that it seems to be to treat insomnia."

Luo Qi laughed loudly and was about to say something when Du Zheng slapped him back.

At this time, other people's cars were unloading their goods one after another. Several young monks came to organize everyone to go to the back mountain to release the animals. The aunt also hurried over. Roach had been worried about life and death ever since he heard that the woven bag contained snakes.

He refused to stretch out his hand any more, and the aunt didn't force him. Together with a few younger believers, they helped each other go to the mountains.

Du Zheng looked at their backs and shook his head subconsciously.

"Don't worry." Luo Qi was rubbing his hands on his pants, as if he could erase the touch of the snake he had touched, "Those snakes can't survive the winter here, even if they are venomous, they won't bite.

Villagers.”

"How do you know?" Du Zheng asked with a frown.

"There's a mailing label on the woven bag. It came from Guangzhou." Luo Qi said, wiping his hands hard again. "They are really making trouble. They bought snakes from the subtropics and threw them into this ice and snow. They also said

Is it a release? How could that bag of snakes be cursed?"

"You are quite smart sometimes." Guan Xinyue smiled, "Are you so afraid of snakes?"

"Ha-ha-" Luo Qi laughed dryly twice, turned around and urged Du Zhengyi with a lively expression, "Let's go and copy the scriptures!"

"Really copying it?" Guan Xinyue was a little confused, "Then when will the copying be completed?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Luo Qi said, "After copying the scriptures, we still have to accumulate merit. What else should I do? If you have any tips, you can give us a clear path. If you have other clues, please provide them quickly.

We won’t waste time here.”

Guan Xinyue had no idea. Seeing that Du Zhengyi didn't object, she could only follow him angrily.

There were two monks in the back hall of the small temple to receive them. They asked about their purpose without saying much, took them to the side hall, gave them paper and pens, and left. It seemed that they were accustomed to all kinds of incense visitors.

There are indeed a lot of people coming and going. The two monks are young and rarely talkative. If they have to talk to them, they are very awkward in dealing with them. After spending a long time, they still can't say anything, and they often answer questions that are wrong.

So Luo Qi chatted with them for a few words and realized that it was of no use. He sighed helplessly that the young monks in the monk temple were really sincere. Of course, it could also be as Guan Xinyue pointed out - "It's just that the IQ is too low. This temple

The bar is really low.”

The work of copying scriptures is not too heavy. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra has been rolled up into a volume several times, and it is still a red background. This way Guan Xinyue can also use a calligraphy brush, but the writing is slow. Du Zhengyi is a standard master, and the calligraphy brush

What he uses is no different from a fountain pen. Even though he sighs when he picks up the brush, it doesn't stop him from being able to write smoothly, and he doesn't have to take so much care of the red lines underneath.

Luo Qi took one look at Du Zhengyi's writing speed, put down his pen, and walked around the room impatiently for several times, fumbling around here and there. Guan Xinyue despised his lazy behavior and kept going.

He emphasized fair and equitable sharing of work. However, Du Zhengyi had always been more tolerant of Luo Qi and did not pay much attention to his things. Luo Qi saw that the great god was always concentrating on copying scriptures, how could he care about Xin Yue's chatter?

Looking at it crookedly, he went out for a walk. He came back half a quarter of an hour later. When he came back, he sat down opposite Guan Xinyue, took out a bag of potato chips and ate it.

Guan Xinyue was already like a cat with its back raised when provoked, but Luo Qi was too thick-skinned. She already knew that scolding him would not bring any pleasure, so she turned around and attacked Du Zhengyi. "Can you control him?"

?What is his relationship with you? Your assistant? Classmate? Is he really your brother? Who can control him? "

Du Zhengyi lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Luo Qi. Luo Qi was looking at him tentatively with wide-eyed eyes and a thick-cut potato chip in his mouth.

"He is my mascot. Don't mess with him, otherwise you won't be able to use it if it's unlucky."

"What do you mean?" Guan Xinyue lowered her voice angrily and yelled.

"It's like a pet." Du Zhengyi said, lowering his head and continuing to copy scriptures, "I just adopted him, and it's still in the running-in period, so it's useless for you to criticize me. It will take some time to tame him.

"

Guan Xinyue blinked, a little speechless. Luo Qi was already numb to Du Zhengyi's remarks, so he seemed very indifferent and particularly shameless, in vain inciting Guan Xinyue more anger. Luo Qi seemed very indifferent.

Qi also handed her a plate of chocolates and said, "Eat some sweets. Is your aunt here? Are you so restless?"

Guan Xinyue took a deep breath and looked like she could breathe fire.

Du Zhengyi then stepped in and calmly asked Luo Qi, "You have made a lot of money out there, have you gained anything else besides food?"
