Chapter 38
But the daughter didn't think the same as Li Zaiming.
At the critical moment, her thinking was very clear. Yifeng couldn't cure her mother, and this matter had nothing to do with her.
After all, a psychologist's most critical task is to treat patients' psychological disorders. If Yifeng had such great ability, he would be able to control the overall situation himself and she would not need to conduct any investigations in the middle.
But how did Yifeng do it?
On the first day, he spoke a few words to them and sent them away.
When she went to the temple and found out that a volunteer there had been caught by the police for fraud, she deliberately deceived her mother. Yifeng, as a psychologist, did not even confirm with her and directly cooperated with her to counsel her mother.
She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when Yifeng's counseling at the temple was unsuccessful, her sister-in-law went to Yifeng's homepage to watch the whole process and discovered the problem.
Her sister-in-law also studied medicine, although not psychology, but she can still judge the other party's professionalism.
In particular, her sister-in-law noticed a lot of mockery in the comments after watching Yifeng's live broadcast. Based on those comments, she found another anchor, Yu Lanlan, who was competing with Yifeng...
After her sister-in-law showed her the progress on Yu Lanlan's side, she realized that she had found the wrong person.
Originally, she didn't believe in metaphysics or anything like that, but after watching the first episode of this series of videos hosted by Yu Lanlan, she was surprised to find that she saw the volunteer who pretended to be a monk being arrested after this video.
In other words, it turns out that the patient of host Yu Lanlan came from the same temple as her mother, and the volunteer who pretended to be a monk was caught because host Yu Lanlan calculated it during the live broadcast!
To prevent coincidence, they rewatched Yu Lanlan's past videos and were astonished to discover that, in their previous three rounds, Yu Lanlan's predictions had been spot-on! They even managed to transfer all of Yifeng's patients to Yu Lanlan's name. Meanwhile, patients who had previously been ineffective, or even had adverse effects, were completely cured once they came to Yu Lanlan's care!
Once or twice might be an accident, but three times proves that this anchor is really awesome!
It is basically impossible for Yifeng to cure her mother now, so the daughter does not care about anything else and just wants to replace her mother's treatment live broadcast with Yu Lanlan as soon as possible.
After she applied to the platform, the platform staff naturally told Li Zaiming the result.
Li Zaiming, who was originally feeling complacent, was instantly broken down by this news.
After he told Yifeng the news, Yifeng became gloomy for a moment, but he was not as furious as he was in the previous times.
He paused and sneered for no apparent reason.
Li Zaiming thought he was confused because of anger.
"Afeng, are you okay?"
"Yu Lanlan took over this mess, how could I be in trouble?" Yi Feng raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm.
Li Zaiming uttered a puzzled "Huh?"
Yifeng glanced at him.
"I was misled by that foolish... misled by this patient's daughter, causing her symptoms to rebound and worsen. She originally had a good chance of recovery, but now her psychological defenses have been reinforced. If we want to cure her completely, either something major must happen to change her cognition, or we can only gradually wear her down..."
"If she keeps going like this, I'll have to spend the rest of my life with her, not to mention fighting in a ring!"
"Since this mess can be handed over to Yu Lanlan, I couldn't be happier."
After listening to his explanation, Li Zaiming suddenly understood and his original anger disappeared.
"So, Yu Lanlan is definitely going to run into trouble this time, right? That's perfect! I'll send her some trolls to cheer her up!"
After saying this, Li Zaiming smiled expectantly.
-
Yifeng and Li Zaiming had good ideas, but they overlooked the most important thing.
The rebound and aggravation of psychological disorders is indeed a serious problem for ordinary psychologists, but is Yu Lanlan an ordinary psychologist?
When Yu Lanlan received another call from the platform staff saying that Yifeng's family wanted to replace the treatment host with her, she agreed immediately.
Sister Hua and other team members are completely accustomed to it and expressed no surprise at the phone call.
Yu Lanlan is a person who doesn't like to waste time, so she started getting ready after receiving the call.
Soon, an announcement was posted in her live broadcast room and Weibo, explaining that she had taken over the case of Yifeng's patient.
After seeing it, fans and audiences couldn't help but look forward to it.
On the previous three occasions, Yu Lanlan was able to successfully handle the problem every time she took over. Will it be the same this time?
Fans naturally believe it, but many people who are more familiar with psychology have doubts.
However, the reactions of the crowd did not hinder Yu Lanlan at all.
That afternoon, Yu Lanlan, accompanied by the platform staff, brought her team to the temple that Yifeng had just visited in the morning.
When the person in charge of the temple heard that there would be another live broadcast in the afternoon and this time the host would be a different one, he became extremely impatient.
But under the threat of the platform, they had to let Yu Lanlan and others in.
The lay Buddhists in the temple chanted scriptures in the main hall in the morning, but changed their activities in the afternoon.
Being a lay Buddhist is a relatively hard job. In addition to following the monks to attend the temple's regular ceremonies and learn Buddhist practices, you also have to get up early and go to bed late, and do many chores assigned by the monk in charge of receiving guests.
When Yu Lanlan met the daughter and was led to her mother, the other party was sweeping a courtyard in the temple.
Seeing her working under the scorching sun, her face covered in sweat, but still waving the broom with a pious look on her face, her daughter felt both distressed and angry.
Yu Lanlan's live broadcast camera was turned on at this time, shooting from Yu Lanlan's perspective. The daughter walked over and took the broom from her mother's hand.
When her mother saw her, her brows furrowed.
"Why are you here again?!"
As soon as the audience clicked in and saw this situation, they immediately felt it.
Seeing her mother's impatient look, the daughter had no choice but to explain to her in a frustrated manner.
"Mom, didn't you think that anchor this morning was blaspheming Buddha? I've applied for a new anchor this time. You see, this anchor is different from the one this morning. She's a metaphysical anchor. Didn't you learn a lot about negative karma and negative karmic relationships in the temple? She happens to be very knowledgeable about this. How about letting her talk to you?"
The mother looked over as her daughter instructed and saw the young Yu Lanlan.
Yu Lanlan nodded and greeted her.
"Hello."
Unexpectedly, the mother did not respond, but turned around and snatched the broom from her daughter's hand.
"You fooled me once, but you want to fool me a second time? Save yourself the worry!"
Such a young girl, yet she talks about metaphysics and understands evil karma and bad fate. I'm afraid he is here to deceive her and prevent her from eliminating her karma.
She pushed her daughter away from her and swept the floor again seriously and devoutly, as if this could eliminate all her bad karma.
The daughter was so angry at being treated like this by her mother that she was almost in tears.
"mom……"
She wanted to go up and persuade her, but her mother turned around and held her back with a broom.
"Don't disturb my practice again, or I'll have the masters kick you out."
This attitude of not recognizing any relatives made the daughter furious.
Then her mother was so absorbed in sweeping the floor that she paid no attention to anything else.
The daughter also knew that her mother might really do what she said. Although the people in the temple probably wouldn't really kick them out, it would still be unpleasant to hear a mother asking someone to drive her daughter away.
She could only turn her head and look at Yu Lanlan for help.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt a little sad when watching this scene.
Everyone was waiting for Yu Lanlan's reaction.
However, what no one expected was that Yu Lanlan did not go up directly to communicate with the mother, but looked around, and then seemed to have discovered something interesting and walked in one direction.
The camera quickly followed her angle of view and found that she stopped in front of a big door, looking up at the couplet on the door.
Chen Li, who was in charge of the filming, found a good angle and included Yu Lanlan and the mother in the camera.
Soon, everyone seemed to discover Yu Lanlan's intention.
The mother was sweeping intently when she realized that Yu Lanlan was blocking her way.
She raised her waist, frowned and was about to remind Yu Lanlan to move aside.
Unexpectedly, Yu Lanlan, who had her back to her, seemed to have sensed something and recited the couplet on the gate, interrupting her actions.
“The rain may be abundant, but it cannot moisten the grass without roots; the Buddha’s teachings may be vast, but they cannot save those without affinity.”
The daughter realized that Yu Lanlan might be up to something, so she stepped forward and deliberately asked, "What does this couplet mean?"
Yu Lanlan turned around and smiled at her leisurely.
“That’s what it means.”
The daughter's eyes lit up as if she had been enlightened. "Buddhism cannot save those without affinity. Then who are the people with affinity, and who are the people without affinity?"
"Those who are destined to be together are naturally those who have lost their minds and need enlightenment. Those who are not destined to be together are those who, despite having a clear path ahead of them, create trouble out of nothing and seek their own troubles."
Yu Lanlan's explanation is quite clear.
The mother was a little angry because she was blocked by Yu Lanlan.
After hearing Yu Lanlan recite those two couplets, my heart was inexplicably stirred.
Then the conversation between her daughter and the anchor made her feel strange.
She felt that these two people were deliberately targeting her.
Does this anchor mean that she is making trouble out of nothing and looking for trouble?
But what did she know? She was clearly eliminating her karma! If she didn't eliminate all her karma, she and her family would go to hell!
As she was thinking, she wanted to go around Yu Lanlan. Just as she was about to step to the side, she didn't expect that Yu Lanlan, who had her back to her, took a step ahead of her, blocking the direction she wanted to go around.
She was about to change direction, but unexpectedly Yu Lanlan waved at her daughter, and her daughter took a step forward and blocked her way again.
The mother held the broom and straightened her back in anger.
"What on earth do you want to say?! I'll listen to you, but leave immediately after you're done. Don't bother me here on purpose!"
Yu Lanlan looked at her in surprise. "Does studying Buddhism really disturb you? Do you think cleaning is more important than Buddhism? Does this count as blasphemy against the Buddha?"
This sentence was like a boomerang, hitting the mother right between the eyebrows.
Yes! She said her daughter had slandered the Buddha's disciples and was blaspheming the Buddha. Now she actually considered her own personal affairs more important than the Dharma. Isn't that the same as her daughter?
"Amitabha, Amitabha! Buddha, please don't blame me. This believer didn't do it on purpose..."
Seeing that Yu Lanlan made her mother so frightened with just two words, the daughter looked at her in surprise.
Yu Lanlan remained remarkably calm and continued to tell her mother, "According to your daughter, you've been exposed to Buddhism for several months, but you can't even grasp this. I think... you're the one without a connection."
For this mother, this accusation is a bit serious.
"How can I be considered the one without destiny?!"
"The Diamond Sutra says, 'There is no self, no person, no living being, no life.' It means we should transcend the self and our original mind. But I see that you are still clinging to the self. It's clear that you are not destined to be a Buddhist."
This one sentence made the mother stand there in a daze.
"You come to the temple only to eliminate karma, not to practice. This is disrespectful to Buddhism."
And this sentence made her tremble physically and mentally.
However, Yu Lanlan's next words completely overturned her three views.
"But if you want to eliminate karma, then there's no need to come to the temple specifically. I see that you don't have much karma."
"You only know that all kinds of evil deeds create bad karma, but do you know that good deeds also cultivate good results? Good and evil are inseparable. I see that your face is pure. Although you may have occasionally mishandled some things that caused some bad karma, it has long been offset by the good results you cultivate. As long as you are not a wicked person, there is no need to eliminate karma. Besides, why do you donate money to the temple instead of doing good deeds to eliminate karma?"
"Do you think that donating money to the Buddha will help eliminate your karma? The Buddha himself has transcended, so why would he care about the affairs of sentient beings?"
"Your donation to the temple will at most contribute to the temple's promotion of Buddhism, but how much of the good results created by the promotion of Buddhism can you gain? It would be better to donate more to children in poor mountainous areas and lonely elderly people..."
Yu Lanlan's words were a wake-up call to her mother.
Especially the phrase "The Buddha himself has transcended, why would he care about the affairs of sentient beings?" It completely shattered the three views she had built up over the past few days.
It turns out that Buddha doesn’t care about the affairs of sentient beings at all?
If she just wanted to eliminate her karma, she could just do good deeds herself. Then why did she have to donate all her money to the temple?
After listening to Yu Lanlan's words, she finally had a true epiphany.
Not to mention the mother herself, even her daughter, who was just trying to persuade her mother, felt like a stream of fresh water was flowing from head to toe after hearing Yu Lanlan's words.
The barrage was even more shocking.
【This is the first time I’ve heard this! 】
[No wonder when those two wealthy businessmen gave the anchor medical expenses, the anchor simply asked them to donate to a charity in their own name?]
I think what the host said makes perfect sense! As long as you're not a particularly evil person, doing good deeds can certainly offset your bad karma! Isn't the purpose of Buddhism to save all living beings to encourage people to do good deeds? ...]
Just when everyone was still immersed in Yu Lanlan's previous words, unexpectedly, Yu Lanlan dropped another bomb.
"I've observed your face and it seems you've been encountering unkind people lately. If you don't mind, I'd like to tell you your fortune."
This sentence did not mean much to the mother, but it was a bolt of thunder to her daughter.
She remembered that it was this anchor who had accurately identified a volunteer at the temple as a fraudulent employee. Could it be that her mother had encountered a similar situation?!
"You figure it out! I'll give you my mother's birthday!"
As she spoke, she looked around and found no paper or pen, so she anxiously took out her cell phone, typed her birthday on the memo, and specifically asked her mother to tell her the time of birth, wrote it down, and handed it to Yu Lanlan.
After reading it, Yu Lanlan took out three copper coins from her, went to the stone table next to her, and started shaking the divination sticks.
After six times, Yu Lanlan thought about it for a while and got the result.
"According to the hexagram, the evil person your mother encountered is from this temple, and he is the one who instigated your mother to spend all her family's wealth on donations."
"He is also... someone who collaborated with the already arrested volunteer."
Yu Lanlan pursed her lips.
"What?!!"
After hearing this, the daughter was furious.
She said what a coincidence, everyone was asking for so much donations, it turned out the monk her mother met and the volunteer were in cahoots! !
The daughter was about to call the police, but when she turned around, she saw that Yu Lanlan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"master?……"
Yu Lanlan ignored her and paused for a moment. Suddenly, her ears twitched and she looked in another direction.
Everyone's eyes followed, and even the camera moved over there.
While the audience was still confused about what was happening, a group of monks appeared in a mighty manner from the corner where Yu Lanlan was looking.
Leading the group was an octogenarian monk, whose robes were clearly different from those worn by ordinary monks. He looked very old and, supported by a nearby monk, gradually approached Yu Lanlan.
"Your kindness is great. I feel extremely ashamed for my incompetence in governing you. I have come to apologize."
The monks clasped their hands together and bowed to Yu Lanlan and the mother and daughter, but Yu Lanlan dodged them sideways.
The monk who was supporting the old monk explained, "The abbot has long been a figurehead at a few temples. Upon hearing about the volunteer scam, he traveled thousands of miles back from Province C where he was recuperating. He has now investigated the matter and sent the offending disciple and treasurer to the police station to surrender."
"The temple has issued an order that all incense money received from this disciple will be returned to the donors."
In other words, the abbot of this temple is now old and has several temples under his name, so his disciples and financial officials took the opportunity to make money...
The audience who came to this conclusion were completely confused.
The monk didn't say much. After leaving this explanation, he bowed to Yu Lanlan and the others again, and then left in a grand manner.
Just as he turned around, the monk who was supporting the old monk took another look at Yu Lanlan, appearing a little surprised and wary.
Yu Lanlan noticed his gaze, met his eyes for a moment, and appeared calm.
Unfortunately, due to camera limitations, this scene was not captured at all, so the audience was unaware of it.
The others always felt that the old monk looked very unusual, and their eyes were inexplicably focused on the other party, so they did not notice that Yu Lanlan and the young monk were looking at each other.
-
This scene was really unexpected. Not only did the patient's mother and daughter feel complicated and relieved, the complicated thing was that such a thing happened in the temple that was supposed to save all living beings. Fortunately, the large amount of money their family lost could be recovered.
And the audience also felt that this scene was too dramatic.
Only Yifeng and Li Zaiming, who were also watching Yu Lanlan's live broadcast and sorted out the context of the matter, were almost mad with anger.
What the monk said meant that their temple had conducted an investigation and had actually discovered that the monk who cheated the patient was in collusion with the volunteer, but they did not make it public, causing no one to expect that there was a real monk in this temple who was involved in the fraud!
In other words, if the patient's daughter hadn't applied to switch the treatment livestream, they would have likely returned the money to the patient at the temple and cured her mental disorder! !
But the patient's daughter requested a change of treatment host, allowing Yu Lanlan to take advantage of the situation?!
Before, Yi Feng said that he was waiting to see Yu Lanlan's good show. Li Zaiming even prepared a group of internet trolls, intending to create an "atmosphere" for Yu Lanlan when she failed. But it all ended in vain!
Some viewers also reacted and began to lament the direction of this incident in the comments.
[What kind of luck is this, Yifeng? Hahahaha]
[Just a little time left, Yifeng must have fainted in the toilet crying/covering his face]
[At this moment, I can't help but sigh: it's time, it's fate...]
