Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 58
Outside the yamen, the children of each family were taken back, only some parents who had not seen their children refused to leave for a long time.

Meng Yuan sat in the hall, and wisps of merit and faith flew into his body.

Now he no longer needs to deliberately use scriptures to save living beings to gain the power of faith, because he is a Bodhisattva, and everything he does and says is to save sentient beings. Good is faith, and evil is karma.

Of course, it does not mean that the scriptures are useless. The scriptures are the way to guide all living beings to self-awareness. Therefore, it may be okay for you to abuse and destroy Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is possible to see the wrathful appearance of Buddha and Bodhisattvas.

Meng Yuan has not yet realized the wrathful aspect of the Bodhisattva's body. Perhaps it will manifest itself one day when the anger is completely ignited.

While everyone was chatting, Mr. Zhao even wanted to thank Meng Yuan for saving his son and offered to give him ten thousand taels of gold and build a temple to worship the Buddha, but he refused.

He will not receive a large amount of property from benevolent beings with kindness, but will only accept a little at his discretion.

Not for oneself, but for other benevolent monks. You can’t set yourself as a benchmark for all living beings to put shackles on others, let alone build temples and statues. No matter how majestic and compassionate the Buddha statues in the temple are, he is not a Bodhisattva.

In the end, only Master Zhao was charged ten taels of gold.

He couldn't help but praised: "The enlightenment of the holy monk makes me, a businessman full of copper stink, really feel uncomfortable. Such a great kindness must be kept in mind. My Zhao family has opened the door for the holy monk for generations. If you want to open the mountain gate , Donate to the common people, there is no other way.”

As he spoke, he also pulled his son, a fat little boy named Zhao Shan, in front of him and asked him to swear.

Meng Yuan didn't care when he saw this. It was good that he was willing to do good deeds. He then touched Zhao Shan's head to express his affection.

But at this moment, the little fat man was thinking about what Manzhu had just said to him. For a moment, he felt that the chicken legs in his hand had no taste, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Mr. Zhao was a little angry when he saw him dumbfounded, but he couldn't bear to blame him when he thought of what he had suffered for so many days.

Then he asked Meng Yuan: "I don't know which temple the holy monk is a monk in. In the future, I can go to the temple to pay my vows when I have free time."

When Zhao Shan disappeared, he and his wife were so anxious that they prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Now that Meng Yuan had rescued his son for him, they naturally wanted to fulfill their wish.

"The poor monk is in the small Dharma temple in Luoxia Town, Gaoling County next door. It's a long way to go. It's just Zhao Yuan's intention. There's no need to go through all the trouble." Meng Yuan advised.

While talking, a figure walked in from the door, and saw Commander Lu wearing a black cloak with blood stains on the cuffs, his fierce aura made everyone's eyelids jump.

Fortunately, it's not that Commander Lu is targeting them, but that the blood has been contaminated just now, and it hasn't dissipated yet.

"Holy Monk, you are here."

When Lu Guangming came in, he saw Meng Yuan in white, sitting on a chair, with a solemn demeanor, like a magic needle for calming the sea, which made him feel that the hostility in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Commander Lu has worked hard, I don't know if he has found any clues."

Lu Guangming shook his head: "When I went, everyone in the Wang family trading company was slaughtered. I followed the scent and chased for hundreds of miles. I met several dead soldiers. Seeing that they were not my opponents, they all committed suicide by taking poison."

Death warrior!All the officials and Mr. Zhao were terrified when they heard the words. After all, it was a commercial firm with hundreds of people, and they killed it immediately?
Everyone could see that the Wang family was responsible for the murder and silence, but the identities of the dead soldiers were definitely not traceable to them.

"If I hadn't been ordered by my superiors to quickly investigate the corpse of Wang Zong, I would have gone to the ancestral hall of Wang's family in Luoxia Town to ask those old things if they still know the laws of the court!"

Lu Guangming said a little angrily, and just now he was ordered not to meddle in other people's business, and to investigate the hiding place of Shi Wangzong is the real business.

"Wang family." Meng Yuan muttered slightly, the sea scene last night appeared in his mind, and there seemed to be some blurred scenes in front of his eyes, as if he wanted to tell him something.

"Holy Monk, I'm afraid I can no longer help you with this matter." Lu Guangming said with some shame.

"Commander Lu doesn't need to blame himself. Saving those children is saving people, and finding the dead King Zong as soon as possible is also saving people. There is no difference." Meng Yuan explained, everyone has their own responsibilities, and they should do their best.

The people on the side heard that they admired Meng Yuan even more, and there was even an untraceable power of faith gathered in him.

At noon, Mr. Zhao was the host, inviting everyone to the house as guests, and asked Meng Yuan if he was a taboo.

"It's okay, the elders just entertain them."

During the banquet, everyone was drinking and drinking, and everyone was happy. Meng Yuan ate a few glasses of wine and tasted a few mouthfuls of food. It was a special taste. He had hardly enjoyed such high-end food since he came to this world.

During the dinner, everyone talked about the Wang family again. These wealthy men must have done a lot of stealing and prostitution of women in private. Almost every family would adopt or buy some children and train them to be domestic slaves or death warriors from an early age.

But why should the Wang family be sneaky? Could it be that they wanted to plot
Several adults looked at each other, then shook their heads secretly, this is impossible, don't look at the fact that the Wang family has been in the limelight in Nanhai County for the past two years, and has achieved several Golden Core realms, but if you want to do such a rebellious thing, you can do it casually. A real Nascent Soul can wipe them all out.

It was already evening after the meal, and the adults returned to the county office with satisfaction. Two carriages followed behind them, and the ruts almost sunk into the mud.

Meng Yuan is saying goodbye to Mr. Zhao and Commander Lu at this moment. He will personally investigate the missing children. He wants to see the dead and dead bodies. Since there are no clues here, Luoxia Town, the ancestral land of the Wang family, may be There will be unexpected gains.

"Holy monk, this is a branch of a thousand-year-old spiritual tree. It can be beneficial to the injured soul. It is what was promised to the holy monk." Lu Tong took out a jade box one foot long and handed it to Meng Yuandao.

Meng Yuan once passed on the scriptures to Jing Yesi, and with Meng Yuan's help many times on the way, he lost a ray of soul when he was in Hengyuan Buddhist Kingdom. Commander Lu always remembered this, and applied for it to Commander Jiang Zhu after he came back. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed.

Meng Yuan did not refuse. He accepted the jade box and let Manzhu hold it. Then he asked, "Commander Lu, how is Jing Yesi's Great Compassion Mantra learning going?"

"All my teams have learned it."

"Well, Commander Lu has a lot of murderous intent recently, so he can also recite it from time to time." Meng Yuan reminded.

"Uh ok."

After the two said goodbye, Meng Yuan rode on his white horse and took Manzhu out of the city.

"Master, this smells so good, better than the ones you hide under the bed." Manzhu said holding the jade box.

"Oh? Can you smell the fragrance of spiritual grass?" Meng Yuan asked curiously. There are many spiritual grasses that have no smell in order to protect themselves, but the spiritual grass he brought back from the Hengyuan Buddhist Kingdom last time can smell it. , now she can actually smell it through the branches of the spiritual wood in the jade box.

"Well, they all smell good anyway."

Meng Yuan smiled. He didn't expect this little girl to have such a talent. Then he opened the jade box, and saw a finger-length wooden stick lying in the jade box, which looked no different from the one on the side of the road.

But just by holding it in his hand, Meng Yuan could feel a cold but very comfortable breath seeping into his body, as if nourishing his soul.

It was indeed a good treasure. Meng Yuan placed it close to his body, patted the horse lightly and left the city.

"The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Bodhisattva, please save my child, please protect him."
