Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 22
Hearing what Master Kong Hui said, Mrs. Chen turned pale with fright, and the young servant and the maid next to her covered their mouths and exclaimed.

"How could it be that the master is always kind and generous, and in times of calamity, he would give food to the common people. He is also a well-known gentleman representative of the government. How could he be so sinful?"

Zonghai and Zongfa recited the Buddha's name together, and Kong Hui sighed, "Heaven's law recurs, karma retribution, the benefactor Chen Ang was a wicked person in his previous life, and his sins were serious, so the retribution in this life has come, it's just the loss of the soul, which is already a blessing in misfortune gone."

"Master was a villain in his previous life?" Mrs. Chen was confused, she had never heard such a statement, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Karma retribution is not good after repeated responses. The poor monk thought that Chen Ang's benefactor should have done more good deeds in the first half of his life, so this appearance has already paid off a small part of the sins of the previous life."

Kong Hui explained the theory of cause and effect cycle, past life and present life in detail, and Mrs. Chen and all the servants in the room believed it firmly.

"Then, won't the master wake up?"

Mrs. Chen's face was pale, and she couldn't help crying.

"Mrs. Chen, don't cry, my master will definitely not die." Zong Hai approached Mrs. Chen to persuade him.

Mrs. Chen stopped crying, and immediately bowed to Kong Hui, "Master, please save my master."

Kong Hui sighed, "My Buddhist family pays attention to fate. If there is no fate, I will not enter your house, but things that have fate but no fate often happen."

When Madam Chen heard this, she was in a state of confusion, and hurriedly asked, "Master, as long as I can save Master, I am willing to do anything."

When Zong Hai and Zongfa heard this, they looked at each other, and there seemed to be some smiles in their eyes.

"Mrs. Chen, if this is the case, it depends on whether you are sincere. If you are sincere, gold and stone can be opened. If you have a sincere heart to worship Buddha, you will naturally have a share.

Please free up a room first and set up a Buddhist hall. The three of us, the master and the apprentice, should pray and chant sutras for Benefactor Chen every day. After 49 days, we will see the result.

During this period, Mrs. Chen, as a close person of Chen Ang's benefactor, should also have a vegetarian diet and purify her body, worship the Buddha and chant scriptures with us every day, and jointly wash away the sins of Chen's benefactor. Only by doing this two-pronged approach will it be effective. "

After listening to Mrs. Chen, she made up her mind and ordered her servants to follow Master Kong Hui's arrangement immediately.

After Li Zichun finished listening, he was about to scold the three monks angrily, but Zhou Yin stopped him in advance.

"Mrs. Chen, may I ask where the benefactor Chen Ang went seven days ago and who did he meet?"

Zhou Yin saw Zonghai and Zongfa's eye exchange just now, and knew that there must be something inside at this time, it's not that simple.

Hearing Zhou Yin's words, before Mrs. Chen could speak, Zong Hai jumped out:
"Amitabha, Mrs. Chen, during this period, please don't let other people enter and leave the mansion at will, so as not to affect the religious affairs, and the consequences are unpredictable."

Mrs. Chen immediately looked at Kong Hui, only to see that Master Kong Hui closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear what Zong Hai said just now.

"Two priests, this way please." Mrs. Chen glanced at Li Zichun and Zhou Yin, and asked them to come out first.

The three monks and several maids still stayed in Chen Ang's room.

Mrs. Chen led the young servants, Li Zichun and Zhou Yin to the courtyard.

"Old Taoist priest, can my master's soul-loss disease be cured?" Mrs. Chen saw that Li Zichun didn't speak just now, and thought that Li Zichun felt that it was inconvenient to speak in front of the monk.

Li Zichun just felt that the monk's statement was too unreliable, but Li Zichun had no clue about Chen Ang's symptoms themselves.

Naturally, Zhou Yin would not embarrass his master, and at the same time, investigating this loss of soul disease would also allow him to understand the world better.

"Mrs. Chen, this matter is not that simple. Our Taoist school pays attention to seeking truth from facts, present karma, present repayment, past life and present life, there are already two people, so there is no reason for past life sins and present life to suffer."

Mrs. Chen shook her head when she heard it, "The Taoist priest, can you help me?"

"Mrs. Chen, there are traces for everything. That's why I asked where Mr. Chen went and who did he meet that day?"

At this time, the young servant said, "Master took a few of our servants to inspect the farm outside the city early that morning, then went to the Temple of the City God, paid homage to the Master of the City God, and then came back."

"Did Mr. Chen see anyone that day?" Zhou Yin continued to ask.

"Until now, we have been with the master all the time, and we have never seen anyone else."

"Have you been with your master all the time?"

The young servant thought for a while, "Except for going to the toilet, when I went to the Temple of the City God, the master went to offer incense alone."

Zhou Yin thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Chen, "Mrs. Chen, let this little brother take us to the Town God's Temple. Please pay more attention to the three monks."

Mrs. Chen was taken aback when she heard this, nodded, and bowed her knees, "Thank you two priests, Chen Tai, you will accompany the two priests for a while."

It turned out that this young servant was called Chen Tai.

~~~

"You little Taoist priest looks so small, but you have great strength." Chen Tai had a little respect for Zhou Yin, after all, he looked like a little guy, but his strength was astonishing.

"Hehe, young man, remember that people should not be judged by their appearance, and remember to be polite in the future." Zhou Yin didn't mind teaching these young men some life experiences.

Li Zichun stroked his beard without saying a word, and Zhou Yin played it all.

On the other hand, he perfectly played the role of an expert.

Chen Tai led his master and apprentice across the street and arrived in front of the Town God's Temple.

This Town God's Temple occupies a much larger area than the Dongyue Great Emperor's Temple, and the incense is much more prosperous. On the gate where the people come in and out, there is a couplet engraved:
It's hard to find clues here

Good and Evil Judgment Needs to Know the Way of Heaven is Selfless
In front of the gate, there are two lions carved in stone, which look rather mighty.

"Chen Tai, does your master often come to Town God's Temple?"

"I always come here several times a month, but people in the county like to come to worship Lord Chenghuang."

"Is it very effective?"

Zhou Yin asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but a lot of people come here to worship, those who seek government, wealth, children and marriage all come here to worship."

This City God's business is too busy.

After entering the gate of Chenghuang Temple, Zhou Yin felt that the air density around him was slightly different.

Is it the concentration of aura?
Or the smell of incense?
In front of the main hall of the Town God's Temple, there is a stone tablet engraved with the deeds of the Town God of Tai'an County.

It turns out that the name of the city god of Tai'an County is Chen Shenjun, who was a local parent official thousands of years ago. He loved the people like a child and left behind many epic achievements. Later, it evolved into the local city god.

"Tai'an Bo Chen Shenjun?"

Zhou Yin tried to read it out.

Immediately flashed!
