Taboo Master

Chapter 247
Aunt Xu was terrified by the conversation between Mr. Luo and us, as well as the whole incident, so in her intermittent memories, she told us some things about the old lady in the past two years.

She said that the old lady believed in Buddhism and was stubborn, but she was very kind and treated people well. Moreover, the old lady believed in Buddhism and became an idiot. She tried her best to accumulate virtue and do good deeds all day long. , and also invited Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva back to the temple, and worshiped them at home day and night.

In addition, it has been a long time since the old lady placed clear water and white rice in front of the Buddhist altar. Not only that, the old lady often made some food, not only for offering to the Buddha, but sometimes it was taken outside and placed at the crossroads.

Aunt Xu has always been puzzled. Since the old lady believes in Buddhism, why would she put food at the crossroads?Ghost sacrifice?Every time she asked curiously, the old lady would not say anything, and told Aunt Xu that one should accumulate virtue for the next life, and one should have an equal heart towards all living beings.

Aunt Xu had very little education, so she couldn't understand what the old lady meant, but she understood that what the old lady did was definitely not evil. Do not believe.

When she said this, I suddenly seemed to understand something. Before she finished speaking, I hurried into the house and checked in the old lady's room.At this time, the mildew on the wall of the room had blurred, and it looked like it was dark and damp after a rainy day. Although the room was brightly lit, it was still very cold.

I walked to the altar, stared at the clear water and white rice on it, concentrated my energy, and looked around it. I knew that there must be something about these two things that have been placed in the room where these ghosts live for so long. Things can be discovered by me.

Because, what Aunt Xu said just now has reminded me that if the clear water and white rice are not for Buddha, then the only purpose should be for offering sacrifices to ghosts.

I calmed down and allowed myself to slowly enter that wonderful microcosmic world. The white rice and clear water in front of me gradually enlarged, and the surroundings were completely silent, and everything was silent. Either no one made a sound, or it was everyone's voice. At this time, I was automatically blocked.

Slowly, the white rice became bigger and bigger in my eyes, from a small grain of white rice to a slightly yellowish stone-like thing the size of a fist. It is so clear and incomparable, even, I can clearly see that on the white rice, there are countless tiny tooth marks and defects, as if it has been eaten by many people, so that the white rice is all uneven. together.

And that glass of clear water has turned into a small pool of water. In that instant, I heard several inaudible sounds of water. The dark wind in the room has not completely dissipated. When the water surface is blown, the clear water seems to be calm. , but in fact there are extremely fine ripples.

The bottom of my heart was already shocked by this scene, but I still didn't give up. I continued to mobilize my mental strength to focus my eyes again, staring at the clear water and white rice, and then they continued to expand, only a few In a breath, my mind is filled with these two things.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of light in the dark, dazzled my eyes, pierced into the sea of ​​consciousness, and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head, so I hurriedly stopped my consciousness for a while and closed my eyes.After a long while, the light gradually weakened. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing beside a lake, with white stones covering the ground on one side, the sky was gray and foggy, and the surroundings were silent.

I was very surprised, and when I took a closer look, the stones were densely covered with tooth marks and unevenness, and then I recognized that these were the white rice, and beside the slightly green lake, there were many hair-like The green flocs are naturally the glass of clear water that has been placed for half a year.

At this very moment, I am already completely in it!
I stood by the lake in amazement, and what I was stepping on was an irregular rice grain-shaped stone. I looked around blankly and looked at the surrounding stones like hills. Looking at the mysteries and mysteries inside, I didn't want to, and actually entered this wonderful world directly.

I stepped on the stone tentatively, and walked a few steps forward. I felt that my whole body was light and light, and there were black winds blowing in the sky. I couldn't help shivering. What kind of place is this? Could it be, My consciousness really came into the clear water and white rice?

I collected myself and looked around, but there was no one. I frowned, looked around, bent down and picked up a scattered stone, or a piece of rice grain, and spotted the one next to me. The lake, thrown into it forcefully.

There was a soft "plop" sound, and a splash was stirred up in the mirror-like lake water. After the stone was thrown into the water, it immediately floated up, but it didn't sink to the bottom.

I was even more surprised, at this moment, my waist suddenly moved, as if something wanted to get out, I hurriedly opened the Qiankun bag, and a white light flew out of it, turning around in front of me, it turned into a handsome white dress The young girl, with a flash of white light, looked intently, but it was Lan Ning who hadn't seen her for a long time.

At this time, Lan Ning no longer looked like a female ghost haunting her. She had a faint white glow around her body, and her smile was like a flower. She looked like a cute girl.After she came out, she bowed down to me, and said with a happy face: "Master, how did you find this place, I like it so much..."

I wondered: "No way, this place seems to be a place for offering sacrifices to ghosts. Haven't you been practicing in the palace of the god Xiezhi? Why do you like this place?"

Lan Ning said: "Young master, you don't know. Although it looks ghostly here, it is not a place to worship ghosts. Moreover, it has the breath of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the spirit of Buddhas in the Buddha world. I am in Xiezhi Although I have cultivated some spiritual energy in the palace of the gods and gradually lost my ghost body, this kind of Buddha spiritual energy is more useful for my cultivation. Don’t forget, my son. The Buddhist school pays attention to saving all living beings. , this is the place where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas give food. Although there are many ghosts gathered, the yin is a little heavier, but more of them are the gratitude of the ghosts and the devout heart of worship. If the ghosts stay here for a long time , will gradually wash away the sins and be liberated.”

After Lan Ning chattered a lot, I suddenly understood that this is a place for giving food.

In fact, giving food is a Buddhist term, which means giving food and drink to others.This object includes people, animals, hungry ghosts, etc. Giving food will gain many merits.

Moreover, the giving of food mentioned in Buddhism now generally refers to giving to hungry ghosts and sentient beings. Therefore, giving food to hungry ghosts is also called giving to hungry ghosts and giving food.

This is an act of compassion. The time and money spent are actually very small, but the merit is great. It is the same as releasing life. Many people get good results because of giving food, such as wish fulfillment, wealth increase, Physical health, and access to more special sensory abilities.

Because there are countless hungry ghosts in the realm of hungry ghosts, they have no food for a long time and suffer a lot.Some of them are skinny, like scorched dead trees, leaving only skin and bones.Some have small mouths and throats, but big stomachs, so even if there is food, if you eat by yourself, you can eat very little in your stomach, and you won't be full at all.

They can't live, they can't die, they are very pitiful, they are even persecuted by hunger, they kill each other, and eat the brains of other hungry ghosts. As a result, their crimes increase and it is even more difficult to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Therefore, there are many eminent Buddhist monks and disciples who are good believers. They often do almsgiving. Some hold ceremonies in temples, and some use simple food and water to give to the hungry in the wild under the grass and trees, or in empty and deserted places. Sentient beings in the ghost realm, of course, also include other sentient beings, because the Buddhist scriptures say that in the vast world, every grain of dust is a small world, and there are countless sentient beings in it, which cannot be distinguished by our naked eyes. up.

Thinking of this, I understood that the purpose of the old lady to put clear water and white rice in front of the Buddhist altar at home was to feed hungry ghosts and thousands of sentient beings, but this kind of behavior of giving food at home should not actually be done.Because people with insufficient merit and magic power, even if they invite hungry ghosts to feed them, they cannot all have food to eat. This is somewhat dangerous.

There is also a saying, that is to give food at home, that is to regard one's home as a rescue station for hungry ghosts. When the hungry ghosts gather at home, the yin energy is too heavy, which is not good for people's health. Its harmful.

To put it simply, giving food at home must be of high morality, otherwise it is overreaching and asking for trouble.

At present, I have no way of knowing whether the old lady has high morals, and I don’t know whether the death of the old lady is related to these hungry ghosts, but judging from the clear water and white rice placed in front of the altar, the old lady obviously found a unique way to restrain hunger. The method of ghosts is to use the power and aura of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to subdue hungry ghosts. At the same time, you can also use the power of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to save all living beings to help these hungry ghosts get rid of their sins. The wife really took a lot of pains, and she is indeed a kind person.

Standing in front of this lake made of clear water and stones made of white rice, I was suddenly moved with emotion. For the sake of this magical world, and for the sake of those hungry ghosts who were given food, I have to say that they are all lucky. The bite marks on those rice grains and stones are all done by those hungry ghosts.

But I still don't understand, what does all this have to do with that skull?

I thought about it for a while, and then I told Lan Ning all about the previous incident. I hoped that she could help me analyze this incident from the perspective of a soul.

But Lan Ning told me that it is so troublesome to analyze it by yourself. If you pay more attention, you will naturally find the answer in this small world.

I was surprised and asked her where to start?Lan Ning smiled without saying a word, looked around, and suddenly pointed to a large rice grain stone and said to me.

"Look, son, the answer you want is right there..."
