Chapter 32 Prophecy

They sat down in a meditation room, and the young novice retreated after serving tea, leaving them to talk to the master alone.As soon as Du Zheng looked at the person in front of him, the great monk looked calm and smiled, but he was more human than the novice outside.

Du Zhengyi calmed down a little, and habitually detected the surrounding energy field. There was only Zhao Zhiyan's upper-middle-level energy radiation here, and the monk in front of him was a reassuring blank.He even touched the great monk's mind tentatively. With his limited telepathic ability, he perceived that the other party had no boundaries or shields.It's a pity that Zhao Zhiyan is not the eloquent Roach. He is not good at chatting with humans naturally. After greeting the monk, he doesn't know what to say.Therefore, Du Zhengyi didn't have much time to concentrate on further testing, but he knew that even if he had the chance, the gains might not be too great.

He raised his head and met the eyes of the great monk. The master's eyes were kind, looking directly into the depths of his consciousness, but there was no hint of prying eyes.He never thought before that human beings without telepathy can directly reach people's hearts only by relying on intuition.

"The layman has a kind face, and it seems that the blessings are very deep."

Du Zheng opened his mouth, but couldn't think of how to respond.Deep inside, he regretted not letting Roach come over again, and he sighed inwardly, missing Roach's ability to spout nonsense again.

Seeing that he would be unable to answer for a while, the great monk continued gently, "But the blessings are limited after all. Killing is a great sin. If you consume too much blessings, you can't do more in the future. All living beings are equal, even dogs. Also in the Six Realms of Reincarnation, how different can it be from human beings?"

Du Zhengyi had no choice but to say yes again and again, thinking about it and asking, "Are the blessings accumulated in previous lives?"

The great monk smiled and began to tell him about karma, fearing that he would not understand, so he told several extremely superficial stories of karma.Du Zhengyi observed the great monk carefully. He was about 50 years old. He had a simple and honest broad face with few but deep wrinkles.The skin is rough, the complexion is very dark, and the deep wrinkles are black as if dirt has accumulated.

The monk was wearing a dark yellow and brown robe with a piece of dirt on his collar.

"Why didn't the master's clothes be washed clean? Is it because the disciples are not diligent?" Du Zhengyi said suddenly, interrupting the monk to talk about cause and effect.The monk looked at him blankly, and Zhao Zhiyan sprayed out the tea.

The monk muttered, blinked, and looked at Du Zhengyi.

"I said Master's clothes are not clean." Du Zhengyi raised his finger and pointed, "Otherwise, I'll donate some laundry cards, which can be regarded as a meritorious deed."

Zhao Zhiyan glanced at him with a vigilant expression.

"A monk..." The monk paused, as if trying to organize his words, "A monk doesn't care about these extraneous things. This body is nothing more than a skin, so why care about the baggage wrapped in the skin?"

"Master is saying that he is a skin." Du Zhengyi said again, becoming more aggressive, "Are you also treating others as skins?"

"Life is really hard, and the monk hopes that people in the world can shed their skins, see through the mysteries and delusions of the world, and go to the Western Paradise as soon as possible, so that they will no longer enter the six realms and suffer from reincarnation." The monk rambled, his expression unchanged, still like It's the same as crops in the field.

"Since this is the case, why does Master still need to give back people's wishes?" Du Zheng said, "I have always wondered, since everything in the world is created by nature and is not worth being attached to, why does Master still want to make people's wishes come true and help people to be persistent? ?”

"If you get what you want, will you feel happy?" the monk asked gently.

Du Zhengyi really lowered his head and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"When you realize that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, you will naturally turn your back on it." The monk smiled.

"So I have to ask Master for my wish," Du Zhengyi said, "Maybe when my wish is fulfilled, I will see through it."

Zhao Zhiyan swallowed nervously, he didn't take what the two said to his heart, it wasn't some brilliant maneuver, he just instinctively felt Du Zhengyi's sword was about to explode.

"A layman accumulates merits for the purpose of making a big wish." The monk smiled honestly, "Please tell me, layman, no matter what wish, if the opportunity comes, there will be someone who is destined to pay for the layman."

"Absolute?" Du Zhengyi couldn't help but smile, "Is the predestined person that Master mentioned, those ordinary people outside, or Da Hei Tian in the temple?"

"This is cause and effect. The old monk has no insight, so he still can't see through it now." The monk said.

"It's true, the real Buddha's face is not so easy to see." Du Zhengyi said, "Let me talk about my affairs. Master, if I say that I have an enemy, I will always be ready to kill me." , Master, can you save me?"

Zhao Zhiyan's eyes widened, and he looked back and forth between Du Zhengyi and the old monk in astonishment.

"This..." The monk said calmly, "This layman should call the police."

Zhao Zhiyan wanted to laugh, but for some reason he didn't dare to.

Du Zheng stared straight at the old monk, "Then what if I hate others and want him to take off his skin quickly?"

"Amitabha, that's a great sin. If a layman thinks about it, it's a sin." The old monk said.

"Master, do you believe in ghosts? Perhaps the ghosts and monsters are near the master."

The old monk opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.As soon as Du Zheng stood up, the originally quiet meditation room suddenly became noisy. Zhao Zhiyan hurriedly looked around, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets in the room trembled and rattled.The teacup in front of the old monk cracked, and the tea dripped out, and the cup turned into a table of scum, and the tea was spilled everywhere.

Zhao Zhiyan swallowed again, jealous of Du Zhengyi's appalling ability.But then, he felt that something was wrong. Although the old monk had a strange expression on his face, he still sat still.If it was an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death long ago. Even if the monk has a high level of cultivation, he still can't accept all this in front of him, right?

Du Zhengyi walked slowly in front of the monk and stopped, looking at the monk thoughtfully.After a while, he raised his hand and slowly pointed at the monk, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, the monk blushed but remained motionless.

Du Zhengyi tilted his head to look at the monk, and murmured for a while, "It's strange, could it be that you don't have the instinct to be afraid?"

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the courtyard of the temple, "Du Zhengyi!"

Du Zhengyi raised his head abruptly, and he had already recognized Guan Xinyue's voice.He turned his head to look at the flushed monk who was staring at him. He was in a dilemma. As a last resort, he told Zhao Zhiyan, "Look at him."

Zhao Zhiyan came back to his senses, closed his unconsciously opened mouth, and nodded.

"Du Zhengyi." Guan Xinyue looked around nervously in the yard. As soon as he appeared, her eyes quickly caught him. "Quick, Qi Yue's family." She screamed, turned around and ran out of the yard.

Du Zhengyi didn't speak. He followed Guan Xinyue and ran out of the courtyard of the temple, cursing Luo Qi secretly and jumping over the threshold again.

The village was not very big, and the Qi family lived at the entrance of the village. They ran straight from the north of the village along a road to the entrance of the village.The gate was locked, Guan Xinyue skillfully jumped over the low wall in the countryside, Du Zhengyi also jumped over it, and then he saw Luo Qi standing beside a newly dug big hole in a daze.He dug the pit himself, and the shovel was still in his hand, but at this moment he was completely stupid.

"When we came here, Roach said that we should come here to have a look." Guan Xinyue said tremblingly, "There is no snow in this area of ​​the yard, and it seems that the soil has been newly turned. We feel that things have been buried here, and then ...and then... Roach said to dig and try..."

Du Zhengyi looked into the pit calmly. There was no scary scene in the pit, not yet.Only a corner of the woven bag was exposed in the pit, and the bag was torn open.He chanted silently, driving an invisible force to tear the bag even bigger, revealing a withered human hand.

Dead people aren't really scary.But at that moment, he remembered the creepy story Luo Qi told Guan Xinyue in the teahouse.His non-existent sister was playing with a ghost girl. Her body was lying in a woven bag underground at the entrance of the village, and steel needles were pierced into her brain through her eyes.

He instinctively looked at Roach, and Roach raised his head with a face full of despair and horror.
