Chapter 21 Whose House is Buddha?
"I wonder why my brother-in-law is asking the Buddha for help? He can even read people's minds with his eyes. Why is Abbot Yicheng so reluctant to see you?" Nan Chengcheng changed the subject in a few words.
When everyone heard this, they felt that what this pretty and stylish girl said made more sense.
At this time, Adjutant Xu hurried over and whispered in Zhan Hengyi's ear, "Young Marshal, we've found out that there are four people named Wu Liansheng in the entire Jiangcheng. After investigation, we found that three of them are over seventy years old. Two of them are bedridden, and the other one is farming in the countryside and has never been to the city.
So in the end there is only one suspicious person left, and that is him!"
Adjutant Xu handed a photo to Zhan Hengyi and pointed to Wu Liansheng standing not far away, "That's him, the teacher at St. John's. Sun Shuxiang used to be a servant in Wu Liansheng's home.
People at the vegetable market said that the last time they saw Sun Shuxiang was a month ago, when she told others that she was going to Southeast Asia to get married.
Zhan Hengyi looked at the photo, then at Wu Liansheng, and Pei Muyan, who was standing beside him with a timid look, and then whispered a few words to Adjutant Xu.
"Yes!" Adjutant Xu said immediately.
Across from him, Wu Liansheng looked at Nan Chengcheng, a glint in his eyes. He said with a forced smile, "Cousin, you're joking. How could a scholar like me invite a Buddha to do something bad?
Your cousin and I are very much in love but have no children. We came here to pray for a son. The fortune teller said that if I could have the Buddha statue that Abbot Yicheng is currently polishing, I would definitely have children this very day.
"Oh? If that's the case, then brother-in-law, you... have really been deceived by that fortune teller! You don't have any affinity with Buddha, so what's the point of praying to Buddha?" Nan Chengcheng raised his lips, and looked at Wu Liansheng with a glint of understanding in his eyes. His eyes lingered on the glass bracelet on his wrist for a moment, and then said, "Brother-in-law, you are wearing a glass Buddhist bead bracelet made of incense ash. Was it made for you by Abbot Yicheng himself?
I can faintly see a faint yellow aura on the bracelet, the same as the one emanating from Abbot Yicheng."
Living people have yang energy, but the aura is different for each person. For example, people like Zhan Hengyi and Zhan Furen exude purple energy, which is the aura of an emperor. The Zhan family's ancestor and Madam Zhan exude purple-gold energy, which is the aura of kind-hearted women in the imperial family. Ordinary people who are kind and do more good deeds will have a light yellow aura on their bodies. Monks have more yellow aura, which is the aura of blessings formed after long-term Buddhist practice.
Good and evil are all stained with gray energy. Evil people usually have black energy. Wu Liansheng has black energy and his eyes are also black, which is a terrifying light.
Wu Liansheng looked down at the bracelet and replied, "Yes."
"From the color of the incense ash in the glass bracelet, I can confirm that it is from the burning of the tall incense stick that Qingfeng Temple has been using on the first day of the first lunar month for the past hundred years.
Baiji incense ash is a very auspicious item, but it is hard to come by...
In addition, Abbot Yicheng will help you to consecrate the bracelet for 49 days. He will use his own blessings to bless this bracelet. This bracelet can ensure that you will be successful in your career, have a lot of money, everything will go smoothly, you will be healthy, and all your wishes will come true.
Judging from your face, you actually have no affinity with Buddhism.
It seems that Abbot Yicheng really put a lot of effort into helping you, right?
After you take this bracelet home, it will definitely bless you, but its taboos are: you must not do evil, do things that are detrimental to your virtue, and do not stain your hands with blood, otherwise the bracelet will lose its efficacy.
So I want to ask you, brother-in-law, which taboo did you violate? So that the bracelet has lost its efficacy and can no longer bless you, so you come to pray to the Buddha again?"
After hearing these words, Wu Liansheng's palms were covered with sweat, and his face, which was usually pale and scholarly, was now red.
The crowd of spectators began to point fingers at him.
The young monk sweeping the floor nearby snorted, "The abbot sacrificed his own blessings to help him. He didn't know what he did to offend the heaven and earth, so that the abbot should be punished as well, with a broken leg and contracted a stubborn disease.
Suffering from illness all day long, huh! "
"Shi Hai, please don't be rude!" Abbot Yicheng stood by the door and performed the Buddhist ceremony, "Amitabha!"
Everyone responded with, “Amitabha!”
Pei Muyan looked at her husband and said, "Let's go home!"
Wu Liansheng glanced at Pei Muyan beside him, telling her to shut up. He then turned to Abbot Yicheng and said, "Abbot, I'm a scholar, teaching and educating people. I only go between school and home. What evil could I possibly do? Those who are innocent will be innocent. I won't explain too much."
My wife's cousin committed suicide by jumping into the river a few days ago because she was heartbroken. Although she was rescued, she may have suffered a brain injury and is saying some crazy things. You don't have to take them seriously.
I have devoted myself to the Buddha, and I am willing to pay any price if you can allow me to bring this Buddha home."
Pei Muyan kept pulling Wu Liansheng, "Don't talk about my cousin like that, please, don't ask me anymore, let's go home!"
Wu Liansheng squeezed Pei Muyan's hand gently.
