Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 104 Unyielding (four more)
"That's why! It's better to ask God than to ask yourself." Hong Lianshuo raised his lips and said with a slight smile, "In mythology: if the sky is broken, you can make up for it by refining stones yourself."

"Nu Wa mending the sky." Lin Nanzheng looked at her with bright eyes and said.

"The flood is raging, don't ask the prophets, dig the canals to dredge them. Dayu manages the water!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on his lips and said, "Diseases are prevalent, don't ask for miracles, try to cure them yourself.

"Shen Nong tastes a hundred herbs." Han Chuhu agreed with a smile.

"If you drown in the East China Sea, you will fill up the East China Sea. If you are exposed to the sun, you will shoot the sun down." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said again.

"Jingwei fills the sea, Houyi shoots the sun, I've heard of this." Jiang Shuisheng laughed.

"Between the sky and the earth split by the axe, there are people who are unwilling to submit to being slaves." Hong Lianshuo looked at them and said with his shining dark eyes.

"There are still so many people who pray to God and worship Buddha." Chen Zhongyuan walked over with a straw mat, spread the straw mat on the ground, sat cross-legged, and started to cut wood with a dagger in his hand.

"Because I can't get it in reality, I have to ask for an ethereal god." Hong Lianshuo clasped his hands together and said reverently, "The Lord Buddha is always on his lips, and fame and fortune are always in his heart."

Against the backdrop of the bonfire, Mrs. Hong looked really solemn and holy!
"Cough cough..." Chen Zhongyuan almost didn't cut his hand.

"You'd better put the dagger down!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him softly and said, "Am I that surprised?"

"That's a Buddha!" ​​Sixi said with a face full of horror, "You can't blaspheme." Kneeling directly on the ground, she said in fear, "Don't blame the Buddha! Blame me."

"Get up, get up." Hong Lianshuo looked at Sixi calmly and said, "I don't believe in, I don't believe in Buddhism." Looking at Chen Zhongyuan, "Help Sixi get up."

"Oh!" Chen Zhongyuan quickly pulled Sixi up, "Be obedient."

Sixi knelt directly on the straw mat, so she couldn't say anything else!

"You! What do you mean by blaming you, am I such an irresponsible person?" Hong Lianshuo said with four joys.

"Why don't you believe it?" Sixi scratched her head and asked curiously.

"Why should I believe it!" Hong Lianshuo asked rhetorically, looking at him with clear eyes.

"This...that..." Sixi scratched her head and looked at her and said, "Everyone believes it!"

Hong Lianshuo looked at him funny and said, "Then what did you ask for?"

"Eat enough and don't starve." Sixi blurted out, grabbing her clothes and saying, "When my parents were dying, I begged him not to take them away, and I begged him to make me a fortune."

"Has that come true?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile and asked.

"No!" Si Xi lowered his head and said in frustration, then raised his head suddenly and said, "That's my insincerity. I sinned deeply in my past life, and what made me suffer in this life will atone for my sins in the next life."

"Hmm! Great monk, it shouldn't be said that the master said the same to me."

"It will be fine in the afterlife."

The others also nodded, "That's what the master said."

"That's because you gave less money for incense." Hong Lianshuo said angrily, puffing out his cheeks, "You have been deceived."

"How could Master Impossible lie?"

"I don't believe it."

"How much money do you give for the incense?" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at the excited and indignant crowd.

"How can we have any money!" Sixi said aggrievedly, "It's just that I gave the master the only money I have."

"But you should also know that the nobles also worship in the temple!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless black eyes and said, seeing them nodding, his eyes fell on Han Jihu and the others, "Ask them how much they worship? "

"Uh..." Han Qinhu's eyes wandered, and he finally said, "The minimum is 20 taels, and the maximum is hundreds of taels. It can be thousands of taels to reshape the golden body."

"How much?" Sixi's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

"Don't get excited?" Hong Lianshuo looked at Sixi soothingly and said, "Let's first ask General Han whether what he asked for has been accomplished?"

"Some did, some didn't. Before my father died on the battlefield, I begged all the temples." Han Chuhu said sadly, "It's useless."

"Of course it's useless. At that time, the emperor let General Han die. It can be useful." Lin Nanzheng snorted coldly, "It's useless to ask anyone!"

"Ah!" There was an uproar.

Han Chuhu's heart was full of mixed feelings, "Okay, let's not talk about this, anyway, it's useless to ask God to worship Buddha."

"What do you think?" Hong Lianshuo glanced at them one by one, looked at them encouragingly and said, "What do you have to say boldly?"

"Why do I think this Buddha also divides those who pray to God and worship Buddha into three, six and nine classes!"

"It seems that whoever gives more money for incense, whoever pays more will be effective!"

"Let's ask for money, it seems that the gentry are not short of money!"

"Isn't this Buddhist school talking about the purity of the six sense organs?"

"Why are you still so greedy!"

"Buddhism doesn't talk about saving all beings, isn't it that all beings are equal?"

"Why do I think it's not equal?"

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with an unstoppable smile on his face, "Listen to this, it's not a slap in the face, I understand it very well."

Lin Nanzheng said anxiously, "This entry into the world is for cultivation, to save the world, to save suffering!"

"Save the world!" Hong Lianshuo smiled and looked at Lin Nanzheng with a long voice. This smile made Lin Nanzheng feel numb in his scalp.

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said slowly, "Buddhism is built on the human world, and people are the foundation of learning Buddhism. If people want to learn Buddhism, they must first be good people. To be a good person, you must eliminate selfishness within yourself. Practice benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith. Don’t do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and don’t do things that are harmful to yourself. Buddhists focus on the spirit of joining the world, the spirit of being born, and building on the wisdom of Prajna, recognizing the causal relationship between life and death, and cutting off the source of samsara. Although human beings exist in the world, their hearts are not influenced by the world. But the spirit of salvation, the spirit of great compassion and compassion, is unconditional, super-rational, and super-emotional. Self-interest and no desire for reward."

Hong Lianshuo looked at the ignorant Sixi and they said bluntly, "In other words: You shouldn't collect money, let alone use it as a tool to collect money. Any god or Buddha who asks for money from you is a cult!"

"People can say that Fodu has fate." Lin Nanzheng said unconvinced.

"Oh!" A golden flame danced in Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes, "The Buddha does not cross me, I cross myself, not for the other side but for the sea!"

"Self-crossing?" Han Jihu looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said, "You don't even understand Buddhism, how do you cross yourself? Just kidding."

"There is a Buddha in my heart, and Bodhi is everywhere!" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with bright eyes.

"What do you mean?" Sixi said, pulling and pulling her head.
