In the past, he always felt that Hua Shang was his servant, and everything in the world was his servant, but gradually, he began to have an inexplicable emotion towards him. When he saw him being beaten and bullied, he would get angry. When he saw him not having enough to eat, he would save the food and give it to him. When he saw him happy, he would touch his head lovingly.
He began to look at the various aspects of life from an extremely unfamiliar perspective. He felt compassion when he saw the coal miners being tortured and ravaged, and he felt angry when he saw the cunning and despicable mine owners. He thought that he had fallen, and he began to experience what the world calls love, resentment, hatred, separation and pain.
But anyone can do it, but he can't. He is a Buddha, he has to abandon these things, and only when he has no thoughts about the common people can he care about the common people!
While he did not forget his original intention, he also discovered something strange.
About Hua Shang.
Hua Shang cannot die.
That day, they were digging coal when a large rock rolled down from above and hit Hua Shang directly, but Hua Shang only got some skin scratched.
Another day, they offended the mine owner and were beaten repeatedly by thugs. He watched helplessly as one of the thugs kicked Hua Shang hard in the chest, sending him flying far away.
He roared angrily, but Hua Shang simply spat out blood.
If these were all coincidences, then one day after the work was completed, all the coal workers were starving. One of them found some mushrooms and everyone cooked them together. He was so tired that he fell asleep and didn't eat. However, everyone who ate that night died, except Hua Shang, who only had diarrhea.
He thought at that time that if he and his second brother learned divination, he would be able to figure out who was protecting Hua Shang.
But he didn't expect it after all.
A few days ago, the mine collapsed and he and Hua Shang were trapped inside. It was confined and damp. Hua Shang was so scared that he cried and kept asking, "Master, will we die?"
He was also a little scared, but he vaguely felt that Hua Shang would not die.
He told Hua Shang that someone would come to save them, and Hua Shang finally stopped crying.
Later, they found an underground river in the mine. Although they had nothing to eat or drink, they had water to drink, which meant they could wait for rescue!
A day later, there was a knocking sound on the other side blocked by rolling stones. It was other coal miners, who were shouting that they were going to die and had no water or food. In line with the Buddhist spirit of saving all living beings, he wanted to let them in, but Hua Shang stopped him.
Hua Shang said, Master, you absolutely cannot do that. In such a crisis situation, people’s hearts cannot be guessed.
But he didn't take it seriously and was even angry. He saw these poor coal miners, who were simple and kind. Saving their lives was like saving their entire lives. Little did he know that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda.
In the end, Hua Shang couldn't persuade him, so he worked with him to move the big rock and let five or six coal miners in.
As soon as the coal worker came in, he went to the underground river, eager to drink water. He looked at it and sighed, but Hua Shang frowned, as if worried about something.
However, for five consecutive days, nothing happened. They were dizzy with hunger, and no rescuers came.
A coal miner said that they had been abandoned and the greedy mine owner would not send a large number of troops to rescue them. Why not they find a way out together?
Just do it!
On the seventh day, they finally found an exit. He was overjoyed and quickly got out. When he was about to take Hua Shang out, the mine collapsed again and the exit was blocked again.
He was extremely anxious, but the coal miners said, "Go out and find someone quickly, we are waiting for you!"
The last glance was through the narrow crevice of the stone, looking into Hua Shang’s frightened and sad eyes.
He brought his men in a hurry to rescue the people, but Hua Shang was missing.
He was extremely anxious at the time, but the group of coal workers told him that Hua Shang fell into the underground river and drowned.
He was in great grief and jumped into the underground river to search again and again. The coal workers standing by the river advised him that Hua Shang must have been eaten by the strange fish in the river long ago.
He failed to protect him!
His apprentice...
He was seriously ill, but he still had to work even when he was sick. That day, the sun was scorching and he was digging coal in a place when he heard a group of coal miners talking not far away.
"Thanks to our cleverness, the child cried out for his master before dying. But how could his master, who was as stupid as a pig, save him?"
"They don't know that we also have a hidden river over there, but we're short of food, hahahahahahaha..."
"Fortunately, without him, we wouldn't have been able to be rescued..."
"It's strange, we couldn't get close to Hua Shang at first, but then suddenly we could touch him..."
He couldn't hear the rest of the words.
What is good and evil?
In the past, he only believed that good should be done to the extreme, and evil should also be done to the extreme. Good people would not do evil, even if it was a small matter. Doing evil is evil! Evil should be eliminated!
Just like Junior Sister Hengyue, evil should be eliminated!
But what are these mortals?
He felt sorry for their suffering, but they...
That day, he closed his eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures again and again, but he could not suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
He thought, he can't return to his place...
If Buddha is like this, punishing the good and promoting the evil, what does it matter if he returns to his place?
…
After Heng Luan finished speaking, his face showed a vicissitudes and loneliness as if he had experienced thousands of mountains and rivers.
Heng Lin couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he took out the golden body from his arms, but the golden body was dim at this time.
He said, "Brother, I'm late."
Heng Luan slowly shook his head, "No, it's because I'm not worthy."
"I am not worthy to be a Buddha."
Heng Lin wanted to offer some words of advice, but discovered that the moment Heng Luan finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly filled his body, and countless Sanskrit characters entwined around him. He closed his eyes and meditated, gradually floating in the air. The Buddha's appearance became more solemn and respectable, and the four elements were empty...
Big brother, you’re back.
No golden body returns to its place...
Heng Lin looked down at the golden statue in his hand and suddenly understood something.
It turns out that a heart that knows good and evil and has compassion for all living beings is the supreme Dharma.
Hua Shang's spirit suddenly appeared, looking at the master who had returned to his place, smiling happily, "That's great, that's great, Master, you've finally returned to your place."
Heng Luan stretched out his hand, collected Hua Shang's soul in his palm, and said with a hint of pain, "Hua Shang, your master will take you back..."
Just as the Second Patriarch was about to leave, he saw something falling from the sky. He paused, his face puzzled. Heng Luan asked, "Why is it snowing in the summer on Earth?"
Heng Lin didn't understand either, but he was about to understand because a god fell at his feet. Their eyes met, and there was a moment of awkwardness.
It’s not snow, it’s God?
When the god saw the God Ancestor, he immediately cried and complained, "God Ancestor, something bad has happened! The Hengyue Demon Ancestor has overturned the heaven and the underworld, and switched them! You should go back and take a look!"
Heng Lin was shocked and went to heaven before the god could say anything else.
"Brother, let me go up and take a look first."
"You go first, but don't be impatient. Everything has a cause and an effect. Junior Sister Hengyue is not an unreasonable demon!"
Henglin: ...Brother, you don’t love me anymore...
