Chapter 405 Why Don’t I Save You
"The story of Prajna Temple?"
A handsome young man with a refined face and scholarly appearance walked out from behind the wall. He bowed and said, "My name is Miss Lu Shi, and I am honored to meet you."
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu." Looking at the frail man, You Huang thought to herself that he was the male version of Xiao Qian, and stood up to return the greeting, "If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, why don't you come over and sit down, warm yourself by the fire and the night will be easier to pass."
"Why does the girl want to know the story of Prajna Temple?"
Lu Shi did not sit down immediately, but kept a certain distance.
You Huang looked around and said, "Although it is deserted, you can still see its former glory. I am a little curious about the process from its rise to its fall?"
"Prajna Temple is a royal temple." Lu Shi told the story of Prajna Temple: "There is a reincarnated living Buddha named Rujing in the temple. Rujing is a young man with good looks and supernatural powers. All his wishes and fortunes come true. The temple is very popular and the country is prosperous. One day, a woman came to the temple with a beautiful face and affectionate eyes. Rujing said: Buddha is confused. So he gave up Buddha and got married to the woman. The emperor was angry and punished the woman. Rujing killed her. The new dynasty promoted religion and eliminated Buddhism."
To put it simply, this Living Buddha Rujing is the contemporary Tsangyang Gyatso, who fell in love with a woman but was not accepted by the secular world.
"What do you think about this, young lady?" Lu Shi briefly told the story of Prajna Temple. He wanted to hear Youhuang's opinion on the matter, and there was even a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"To use the Buddhist term: everything is cause and effect." You Huang thought for a moment and replied: "If the king is virtuous, why would he need gods and Buddhas to help him? Without gods and Buddhas, there would be no Living Buddha Rujing, and naturally there would be no meeting between Rujing and the girl, let alone the various encounters that followed."
Religious beliefs are nothing more than a tool of the rulers, but people in the midst of them believe in them without a doubt.
"So what the girl means is..." Lu Shi's eyes dimmed and his face became even paler.
"Whether they are kings or living Buddhas," You Huang sighed softly, "They are just ordinary people."
"Ordinary people?" Lu Shi said with confusion on his face. "The king holds the imperial power, and the living Buddha has divine powers. How can they be considered ordinary?"
"If the imperial power and magic power are taken away, they are just ordinary people." You Huang said disapprovingly: "Saints seek nothing, and true Buddhas love all living beings. Obviously, no matter they are kings or living Buddhas, they cannot reach the realm of saints and true Buddhas."
"What do you think of Ru Jing giving up Buddhism and returning to secular life?" Lu Shi continued to ask, as if he was still not giving up.
"In love..." You Huang thought for a moment and said, "Ru Jing is responsible. He did not hesitate between fame and wealth and love. He just let down all living beings. However, things in the world have always been difficult to have both. It is too difficult to be better than all living beings and better than you."
"You don't hate him?" Lu Shi asked in surprise.
"Why should I hate him?" It was You Huang's turn to be surprised. He said calmly, "I was not one of those people, and I was not harmed by them."
"The country lost the protection of gods and Buddhas because of him and is on the road to destruction. Shouldn't people hate him?" Lu Shi seemed anxious, as if he was waiting for someone to agree with his point of view.
"Ordinary people hate him out of ignorance, but history will tell future generations..." You Huang hesitated and said, "It was the king's lack of morality and inaction that caused the dynasty to fall. Religious beliefs are just a trick of those in power. If one Rujing is gone, they may create countless Rujing."
"You..." Lu Shi sighed, "Miss, what you said makes sense."
"It's always easier said than done." You Huang smiled and took a bite of the meat and said, "Life is all about being happy. Why bother being obsessed?"
"People say that monks should abstain from food and drink, but I think..." You Huang took another big bite of meat and said, "Live your life the way you want, laugh when you are happy and cry when you are sad. I don't care what others think. As for Ru Jing, I can only say that he was born at the wrong time."
"Born at the wrong time!" Lu Shi suddenly smiled and said, "My surname is Lu, my given name is Shi, my courtesy name is Fengsheng, and my Buddhist name is Rujing."
"I came here to slay demons and kill evil spirits. I'm going to kill you when you're like this." You Huang couldn't help but sigh, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't I save you?"
"You, a cultivator, also understand Buddhism!" Lu Shi was surprised, and suddenly said with a shocked look: "You knew I was a ghost, why didn't you get rid of me at the beginning? Why are you willing to listen to my stories and waste your time?"
"I don't think it's a waste of time." You Huang took another bite of meat and said with a smile, "I want to know whether Mr. Lu is staying in the human world because his lover died in vain, or because he is misunderstood by the world and feels resentful, or for some other reason, so that I can better help him to be liberated."
"I abandon Buddha, and God abandons me, unless..." Lu Shi hesitated and said, "The divine song can only come to the world to save my soul, but it is too difficult for the divine song to come to the world."
"What's the difficulty?" Youhuang asked with a smile.
"You need a divine weapon to play the divine song, but the divine song and the divine weapon have long been lost." Lu Shi sighed and said, "But if you don't kill me, you can't get out of this underground world."
"Kill the gentleman? Only then will I not be stupid." You Huang smiled slyly and said, "I don't know how many rounds of the Immortal Gate election have been held. If you have to kill the gentleman to succeed, the gentleman would have ceased to exist long ago, or the gentleman is too strong and killed all the challengers."
"There are more than just me, the evil ghost imprisoned in the underground world." Lu Shi smiled and said, "You are just too unlucky to run into me, an evil ghost that has existed for thousands of years."
"The fact that you and I can meet shows that God does not want to destroy you." You Huang took out the Shenjiqin, put it on his lap and said calmly: "I am a person who listens to God the most."
"you……"
Looking at the Shen Ji Qin, Lu Shi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
You Huang said calmly: "Don't be too happy yet. My cultivation is low. Whether I can complete the salvation part of the divine song depends entirely on God's will."
Lu Shi bowed deeply to You Huang and said, "Miss, you are willing to take the trouble to help a stranger like me. Regardless of success or failure, Lu Shi is grateful. If you can't hold on, you can kill me at any time. I will never resist."
"Then let's get started."
Youhuang threw away the sticks, performed a spell to cleanse his hands, and then his ten fingers fell on the strings.
The Divine Comedy was so difficult to play. The pain of having ten fingers connected to the heart has not been forgotten. In order to distract himself, You Huang recited a poem while playing:
You see me or you don’t see me.
I am there, neither sad nor happy.
You may miss me, or you may not.
Love is there, it doesn't come or go.
Whether you love me or not, love is there, neither increasing nor decreasing.
You follow me, or you don't.
My hand is in yours, never give up.
Come into my arms, or let me live in your heart.
Love silently and like quietly.
The first best thing is not to meet each other, so that you won’t fall in love.
The second best is not knowing each other, so can not Acacia.
Third, it is best not to accompany each other, so you can not owe each other.
……
When Lu Shi heard You Huang's words that sounded like poetry but not poetry, like lyrics but not lyrics, he was confused at first. As he listened, he suddenly felt something flowing down. He raised his hand and wiped it gently, only to find that his face was already in tears.
when……
A bell rang between heaven and earth, and a beam of light fell on Lu Shi.
Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly put his hands together and chanted the Buddhist name - Namo Amitabha.
