Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 349 Bad for me?
Last autumn, a young man named Zhu Si came to Zhihua Temple and asked the abbot to accept him and let him shave his hair and become a monk here.

At that time, almost all the monks in the monastery were against it, because they all knew that Zhu Si was a well-known local rascal.

This kid... he was able to swear at the age of three, fight at the age of five, dare to go to the house at the age of seven, and expose tiles at the age of nine... By this year, he will be in his 20s, and he has never done any business. Goofing around, stealing chickens and dogs, shopping in brothels today, squatting in huts tomorrow, he didn't even look at his father when he died of illness at home, and when his mother hanged herself, it was all corpses collected by neighbors...

Just such a thing, he suddenly said that he would come to convert to Buddhism, who would believe him?
According to the thoughts of the monks: If Zhu Si just came to the temple to cheat, eat, drink, hide from creditors, etc., then the problem is really not big, and we can afford to support such an idler, but what if he came to steal, kidnap, Or being an undercover agent for some kind of bandit group... What's the deal?
However, Master Nengze didn't care about these things, he tried his best to accept Zhu Si in a daze.

If you want to ask him why, he will start to give you a big lesson with Buddhism, saying "Buddhism saves all living beings, and all living beings are equal", and then asks you "If we can't even tolerate a Zhu Si in our eyes, what will happen in our hearts?" How can we pretend to be sentient beings and Buddha Dharma?"

Anyway, it is to use this kind of philosophical topic and idealism to avoid discussing with you whether Zhu Si's various misdeeds should be the basis for his untrustworthiness, and try to accept Zhu Si with unconditional compassion and trust, and give him a new life. Chance.

And what are the consequences of this kind of operation... I think everyone knows it in their hearts.

Whether it is "Mr. Dong Guo" in the East or "The Farmer and the Snake" in the West, the conclusions given coincide with each other.

But ah, let's say something, occasionally, just occasionally... there will indeed be the kind of development in "Les Miserables".

Master Nengze is someone who is willing to believe in that kind of unfolding.

Today, even if there is only one ten-thousandth chance that Zhu Si is sincerely doing good and wants to be a new man, Neng Ze will give Zhu Si this opportunity, because if he doesn't give it, who else can give it?
Master Nengze is not a stubborn person, nor is he a "fake compassion" or "stupid compassion". He can become the head of this ancient temple in the capital, so he naturally understands that running a temple is for calculation and for business. operational.

But the fact that Buddhism can do business does not mean that Buddhism is just a business.

There are some things that he still has to do.

In this way, Zhu Si successfully entered Zhihua Temple and became a monk; he ranked the youngest in the "Nengren Shengguo" with the name "Guojian".

So what was Zhu Si thinking at the time?

In fact, the monks guessed right, he just came here to eat and drink and avoid debts...

Originally, Zhu Si didn’t have much hope, he just wanted to try it out, but the abbot really agreed with him to become a monk here, so he was so happy, he said to himself: I’ll hang around in this temple first, and wait until winter In the past, when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year, the creditors probably won’t be chasing me so hard. At that time, if I sneak away and keep my hair on, I will be a good man again.

In this way, after three or four months, autumn passed, winter came and spring returned, and it was the time when Zhu Si planned to escape, and at this time...he didn't want to leave again.

Because unconsciously, he has adapted to the life in the temple; although the life here is not very comfortable, at least he doesn’t have to worry about it every day. account.

Although the precepts in the temple are strict, as long as he is not lazy and slippery, no one will bully him maliciously.

So, this winter, Zhu Si, who has been hanging around for more than 20 years, finally understood some truths that his parents had worn out their mouths when they were alive, but they couldn't let him listen to them; The more "uncomfortable" to repay, but to live a well-behaved life, but can get long-term stability.

Sometimes at night he would quietly wipe his tears, remembering that when his parents were still there, if he could listen to a word of persuasion and find a serious job, maybe his family is still there now, and he even has a wife and children.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, some things pass as they pass.

Zhu Si now says he is a "monk", but in fact, even if he fled privately and returned to vulgarity according to the original plan, he has no home outside, so what difference does it make if he runs away or not?
Thinking so, he decided to stay and become a monk.

From a certain point of view, if Zhu Si's story ends here, Master Nengze really succeeded in saving a lost person.

However, ten months ago, as the four zodiac animals sneaked into the Zhihua Temple one after another, Zhu Si...that is, "Guojian", failed to get a good death after all.

As a person who has been a gangster for more than [-] years and a monk for more than half a year, Zhu Sina's heart for Buddha is obviously still very shallow, and he is very easy to be deceived; He successfully took down the top girl he had ever seen, and turned him into a ghost.

That is... the "prostitution" among the "seven evils".

As the name suggests, the magnified desire in Guojian is the matter of that man and woman; however, he has not attacked anyone so far, the reason is actually mentioned in our previous documents, that is, after strange incidents began to occur in Zhihua Temple, a group of The monks who were considered "crazy" were locked up, and Guo Jian was among them.

But now, as Si Xiao started fighting with the uninvited guests, Guo Jian escaped from the prison and came to the "second floor", ready to find someone to attack.

Seeing this, some people may ask, this Zhihua Temple is full of monks, and there are no women at all. Who can he turn to?
We have actually mentioned this matter before: the anomaly of Zhihua Temple is that "the monks disappeared first", "the pilgrims disappeared later", and then "the monks went crazy".

Here we can explain in chronological order...

In the beginning, only a few monks, such as Shengshou, turned into ghosts first; because they directly entered the "second layer", so in the eyes of people in the "first layer" reality dimension, they are "disappeared.

Afterwards, some pilgrims were captured by these ghosts in the "second floor", such as Wang San and their young master, and other men, women and children; "Enjoy", so the ghosts did not kill them directly, but threw them in this "second layer".

So far, these people have not all died, because the time of the "second layer" is out of order. From the perspective of the people on the "first layer", they may have been missing for several days, but in their own view, Maybe it was only a short time after being caught.

And among these pilgrims, there are women, this is what Guojian is looking for now; anyway, what Zhanxiao wants is the lives of these people, as long as Guojian doesn't kill each other, it is not considered as stealing Zhanxiao's "food" .

Finally, we have to talk about the group of so-called "crazy monks", that is, the last few ghosts including Guojian and some people whose spirits have been polluted and really crazy.

They will be arrested and imprisoned because Master Nengze of this period has already noticed that there are evil spirits in the temple, so he made an emergency response. The room where they are held is also protected by special scriptures (Master Nengze has certain spells). , can prevent the people locked inside from escaping into the second floor.

However, these "defenses" were ineffective when Master Nengze himself was dragged into the "second layer" by the dead.

And when the Zodiacs went to Wanfa Hall to catch Master Nengze, it was at the same time when Fudoko smashed the four Arhat statues.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I sort it out according to the timeline in this way, will things become clearer (more) clearer (confused) and more (messy)?
Then let's move on...

Let's talk about this fruit room. After arriving at the "second floor", I walked around for a long time, and finally saw a female pilgrim who was caught in this space.

This woman's name is Zhou Shi, she is twenty-six this year, and she is already the mother of three children. Her oldest child will be able to make soy sauce this year. Of course, this was considered common in that era.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhou came to this Zhihua Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. While walking, she fell into this strange space and was trapped in it.

At this moment, Guo Jian saw the Zhou family from a distance, and thought to himself: This little daughter-in-law is fine, her eyes are eyes and eyebrows are eyebrows, although her figure is a bit fat, she can be called round and beautiful.

Guo Jian looked at it for a while, it was lustful, and he went up without saying a word, and quietly came behind Zhou: "Amitabha, female benefactor, how are you?"

Zhou Shi wandered alone in this terrifying space for a long time, and the panic and fear had already been written all over her face. At this moment, she heard a voice suddenly, and she was startled immediately, but when she looked back, she found that she was standing The one in front was a monk, who felt relieved: "Ah! I have met someone... This master, I came to the temple to offer incense, but I seem to have lost my way. This... Where is this? How can there be such a place in the temple?"

This is the case when people are helpless. When she finally sees a living person other than herself, she will tend to get help from this person as soon as possible, and the questions she asks are also born of fear Yes, she just wanted to hear some answers she could accept and understand immediately from the other party, so as to eliminate part of her fear.

"Female benefactor, don't panic." Two seconds later, Guo Jian clasped his hands together and replied with a smile on his face, "My little monk will take you out of the temple right away, please follow me."

As he said that, he turned around and began to lead the way unhurriedly.

"Okay, okay, thank you, master." Zhou Shi followed Guojian without even thinking about it, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Afterwards, Guojian didn't speak any more, and Zhou, as a woman, would never take the initiative to chat with each other. In this way, in a subtle silence, the two walked through several corridors and came to the door of a wing room. .

According to Guo Jian's thinking, as long as he tricks someone into the house, he will immediately close the door and rush forward.

At this moment, he was so excited that his hands were shaking, he pushed the door and walked in.

As a result, as soon as the door was opened, Guojian could see... In the wing room in front of him, there was a man in his early forties, lying on his side on a futon, with a pipe in his left hand and a jug of wine in his right, while smoking The circle stared at himself with wide eyes.
