Chapter 165: Ordinary Mind and Buddha Mind



Old Mrs. Mei said, "It's really improved. The whole family is here. We've done a five-element analysis and the child's health has been adjusted back to normal."

He added, “I gave my eldest son and grandson a piece of spiritual jade, but I didn’t wear it on him.

The spirit jade protected a person born with four missing elements, forcing him to resist the amnesia. This demonic method had to be turned on someone else, and fell on my eldest son and grandson, Mei Hexiao.

Jin Huanlan was so confused that she couldn't think straight. Her own son was indeed missing four of the five elements, a person born with a deficiency.

It sounds like the amnesiac should have chosen his own son, a person with a lack of talent, which is reasonable. However, because of the spiritual jade given by Mrs. Mei, the method of harming others fell on Mei Hexiao.

Jin Huanlan probably understood what was going on after hearing this. Although she didn't know the reason, she thought that everything must have been exposed, so she didn't dare to say anything.

After Ma Jingling had that dream, she woke up in the morning and sat on the bed in a daze. Suddenly, in a flash, she remembered why she thought her son was only missing fire in the five elements.

When the midwife came over with the baby and wanted her to take a look, she said, "It's a boy. Born at this time, it means the five elements are lacking fire..."

After hearing this, she fainted before she could even look at the child.

Ma Jingling told this to Old Lady Mei, who immediately sent someone to find the midwife. Before the monk arrived, the midwife had already been brought to Old Lady Mei's yard.

The midwife recalled that Mei Yinshan was indeed lacking fire in the five elements. She still remembered the time of his birth, which she had written on a red cloth.

After checking twice, it was discovered that the two children were born nearly two hours apart. No one had ever thought that someone would switch the two children and their birth dates.

Once this matter is exposed, it will be easy to investigate. After the matter is clear. Mrs. Mei is a person who needs to be seen. Two monks have already arrived, accompanied by people from the government office.

Old Mrs. Mei didn't want to deal with household affairs in front of outsiders, so she asked Ma Jingling to do everything according to her original plan. After Jin Huanlan drank the spiked wine and fell completely asleep, she told the monk who was resting and drinking tea that the five elements were taken incorrectly just now. There were too many masters and servants in the house, so the mistake was made.

Finally, it was found that the three people who actually took away Mei Hexiao's five elements were his father Mei Xuanrui, Weng Huisheng's son, and Yuan Zhixi's daughter.

Under the spell cast by the monk, the three men returned the five elements to Mei Hexiao. Mei Hexiao was lucid for a moment, and then fell into coma again.

The two monks said that this was normal. The child would feel much better after a good sleep the next day and would generally recover completely within seven days.

The crowd asked two eminent monks to help examine Mei Yinshan. After examining him, the two monks said that this was fate, not a disease. If they wanted to cure him, they would have to take someone else's life, and they could not do such a thing.

Ma Jingling told Jin Huanlan that the two monks said that Mei Yinshan was not born at that time, so he would not have such a fate.

It was probably someone who forcibly changed the date and time of birth, and the purpose was to take someone's life and steal their money.

This means that the child's fate is retribution. The law of nature is clear, cause and effect are endless, and reincarnation is inevitable. They can't change it anymore, so just raise him well.

Jin Huanlan felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she heard this.

The abbot of Tianyuan Temple came with six senior monks and Zhang Baiyi because of a murder in Anping County.

The six elder monks heard about the Mei family's child-swapping incident and asked the abbot, "Why don't we wait and see if Ma Jingling will harm his own child out of selfish motives?

If she didn't do it, we can save her. If she did, then she wouldn't be a good person, right?"

The abbot of Tianyuan Temple said: "She has devoted her heart and soul for more than ten years, worrying about this child day and night.

The couple's love faded, and she repeatedly rejected her mother-in-law's kindness, all for the sake of this child. She had paid a lot, just for this one thought, and now that there was finally hope, she couldn't help but be moved.

Letting her be alert first is to reward her for her efforts over the past ten years. It is the good karma she has accumulated by taking care of a mentally retarded child for many years.

Although one thought may give rise to good, one thought may give rise to evil.

But the good karma I've gained from doing good deeds over the past decade is at least worth a warning against harboring evil thoughts."

The six elder monks said, “Why doesn’t the master use the same excuse when it comes to us six people?

The six of us have been doing good deeds for over a decade, and Master always observes our words and actions. Has he never used our past good thoughts and deeds to give us some advice on what we are doing now?

The abbot asked, "Can the standards for cultivating the Buddha's mind be the same?"

Now Yuan Zhixi is facing a dilemma and has to go out for a short stay with her husband and concubine.

Mei Xuanqi, the second master of the Mei family, came to her yard again and told her, "Pack up and go stay in the Plum Garden for a while."

Yuan Zhixi was very surprised: "Are you still going to the Plum Garden?"

Mei Xuanqi said, "The old lady asked our second wife to go out and hide. She needs to sort out the housework at home. This is the first wife's business, so the second wife should not be here to watch."

Yuan Zhixi nodded and said, "Then I'll pack up and leave."

But she didn't want to make things awkward, so she added, "Shall I take the children to stay at my parents' home for a while? Should you and your two concubines go to the Plum Garden?"

Mei Xuanqi, the second master of the Mei family, glanced at her.
