Chapter 390: Buddha does not save the poor, and neither do I.
Lin Du did not deny it. "I know the master must know something. I am just curious about how the master knew those things and how he predicted it to the master of Fu Si Fang."
Wei Zhi casually held his hands together, but did not meet Lin Du's eyes. "I am a Buddhist. Even if I can predict the future, it's no big deal."
Lin Du let out a long sigh, "No wonder you wanted to take me in as your apprentice the first time you saw me. So you were attracted by my identity as a future Breaker? Do you want to strike first?"
"Don't lie to me, I won't clarify." Wei Zhi raised his foot and prepared to leave.
Lin Du's words stopped Wei Zhi in his tracks. "Actually, I'm more curious. The Peacock King Sutra is the true teaching of Tantric Buddhism. Why is the spine of the Buddha Mother lost outside? And how did you know that the spine was here?"
"As far as I know, the methods of the Vidyaraja Sutra are to protect the country and eliminate disasters, and also to eliminate the poisons of greed, anger, and delusion."
Lin Du spoke slowly, as if reciting something, but every word contained a frank and cold test. She asked, "As a disciple of the Tantric Buddhism, you have been raised by the Tantric Buddhism since childhood, so you must be practicing the Mingwang Sutra, right?"
Wei Zhi stopped, turned slowly and looked into Lin Du's eyes.
She didn't seem to like her white hair and grey eyes, and most of the time she would use her spiritual power to transform her hair into normal black hair. At this moment, her eyes were deep, and she was standing in a cave on a desolate island, like a wild wolf lurking in the shadows, seemingly careless, but able to bite off the throat of her prey in a flash.
Lin Du is a person who can always deduce the truth that is closest to the facts from fragmentary information in just a few words.
For a moment, Wei Zhi felt that his soul was penetrated by her gaze.
When did Lin Du see through the truth that even Lin Tuan couldn't understand?
"That's why I said I shouldn't talk too much with you." Wei Zhi laughed helplessly, "Your memory and insight are something I can test even if I don't have the ability to predict the future."
Wei Zhi knew that he probably couldn't escape today.
Well, he accepted his fate and spoke.
"Do you remember the first time we met?"
"That morning, I read a fortune for myself, but the content of the fortune came from me many years later."
Wei Zhi saw Lin Du's expression change slightly, and added, "Of course, this kind of heaven-defying act will shorten your life, so don't learn it recklessly."
Lin Du nodded. She really didn't have that kind of life to lose.
"So what did you tell yourself?"
Wei Zhi paused for a moment, and a strange look flashed across his passionate eyes. "That sentence is very interesting. It's so interesting that it makes me laugh."
"What?"
"Buddhas save all living beings, you save me."
Lin Du was stunned for a moment and looked at Wei Zhi.
"I'll ferry you across?"
Wei Zhi nodded, "You ferry me across."
"So what did you do that day?"
"If I can overcome all the dangers in the world, who can overcome me?" Wei Zhi laughed, as if he was laughing at his resentful self in the past.
Lin Du's memory flashed slowly, but he was never able to catch it.
"That was the first time I received a message from my future self, which cost me my life."
"That day, you stood out in the crowd. Your spirit and body were in harmony, but your words and actions were strange. I couldn't tell if you were the one I was looking for, so I told you that I once swallowed a dragon."
Having said that, Wei Zhi continued calmly, "So I'm curious, would you also save me if I'm like this?"
Lin Du quickly understood, "So you were testing me at that time."
She tilted her head and thought seriously, "Buddha doesn't save poor ghosts, and neither do I."
"An equal exchange?" Wei Zhi asked.
Lin Du nodded, "Okay."
Wei Zhi smiled again, his sleeves dropped down, hiding his scars that had never healed for a long time, "Okay."
Lin Du asked again, "Do you really believe what you say in the future?"
She knew that the future Wei Zhi on that line might pass on information to the past Wei Zhi, but how could Wei Zhi dare to believe her?
After all, they all advocate not trusting others, not trusting God, and not trusting fate.
“I didn’t believe it that day,” Wei Zhi said honestly, “so I laughed at myself for thinking too much.”
"Do you believe it now?"
"Believe it." Wei Zhi stood not too far away, with a hole behind him that was forcibly opened by the monks of the Supreme Sect.
It was already dark, but there was moonlight on the sea, coming from behind.
They stand on a line that has already turned, no longer laughing at their future selves.
Because it is a beam of light that is emitted from the end point to the starting point with blood, sweat and tears.
The day they first met, it was spring and the thaw was the beginning of all things. It was also the time when they joined hands to turn things around, the starting point of everything.
It's a reunion.
"So the news about Wenfu in Fusifang was the second piece of news you spent your life to pass on."
Lin Du suddenly thought, "When you guys are delivering messages, can't you just send a little more words?"
"You have to do the math to get the answer. I have a habit of writing down the content of every math question."
"I thought that I would send it back all at once, but because of my calculation problem, I only received it at that time."
"So what was the problem you calculated the second time?" Lin Du asked curiously.
Wei Zhi looked at her and said, "Calculate the dangers in the world, where did they come from, and who will destroy them."
This time it was Lin Du who laughed, without a trace of sarcasm, "I really didn't expect that you, a demon monk in the eyes of the world, would calculate the sufferings of the people of the world. If you calculate, it will also consume the essence and life of a Buddhist like you."
Wei Zhi also laughed, "There's nothing I can do. I don't want to be born with Buddha bones. This is my mission."
"The answers I received that day were Fu Si Fang and you, Lin Du."
"But I find that monk very strange. He seems to want to know who will end all the crises in this world more than I do."
"After knowing it was you, he still said it was impossible."
Lin Du only said, "The world is so big, there are many people who want to be the savior, and it is often the person who least wants to be the savior who becomes the savior."
Wei Zhi deeply believed that although many of Lin Du’s words sounded unreliable, they were all truth.
As the two were talking about this, a call was heard from the side.
"Three! Two! One! I push!!!"
Another iron coffin was pushed up. Lin Du interrupted his conversation with Wei Zhi and only remembered it dully when he was dismantling the coffin.
Oops! I was bypassed by Wei Zhi again!
Although she deliberately used something that Wei Zhi was even more reluctant to talk about in order to exchange for the truth that she wanted to know in the first place, Wei Zhi did fulfill her wish.
She basically guessed today what would happen to Wei Zhi's life, but she was unable to get confirmation from the person involved.
Yue Han looked at Lin Du excitedly, "Hey! Zhen Liu! You are so familiar with the Buddhist disciple of Tantric Buddhism! My father even held him in his arms when he was a child!"
Lin Du: Huh?
"My father said that he was born with the Buddha's bones to... Om Oh Ah! Om Oh Ah!"
Yue Han looked around in horror, but still couldn't control himself from speaking Peacock language.
"Speak some human language." Yuan Ye covered his ears in despair.
Lin Du glanced in the direction where Wei Zhi disappeared, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing more.
He is a big man, but he still bullies a bird.
The iron coffin was opened with a bang, revealing more natural treasures than the burial objects. Even Yue Han, who had seen a lot of the world, exclaimed in amazement, "This is an incredible amount of wealth!"
"Hey, Zhen Liu, are your eyes okay now? Why don't your eyes hurt now?" Yue Han asked.
Lin Du was silent for a moment, "Wealth and honor are eye-catching. My heart was not strong enough back then, so I didn't like to see them."
"Are you determined now?" Yue Han didn't understand Taoism, but decided to respect it.
"Yeah, I'm firm." Lin Du said, stroking the red rope on his wrist, "Alright, quickly divide the spoils, how many more are there?"
"There's still one more string." Ni Jinxuan said excitedly.
"Wow, so much, such overwhelming wealth." Lin Du sighed, "I estimate that in the next few thousand years, we won't have to dig into our own annual allowance to send money, food, and defensive magic tools to those charity halls and their subordinate border villages."
Unexpectedly, when everyone picked up the last iron coffin, Lin Du found something wrong.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with the sea?"
"All undercurrents avoided the vicinity of this stone pillar."
Without undercurrent, there is no fresh aura.
"The Land of the Dead Souls?" Mo Lin frowned. "Why do I feel like there is still a will to fight?"
The people who were dismantling the iron coffin paused, and a group of people looked at Lin Du eagerly, "Master Junior, what does the book say?"
Lin Du: ...
She pondered for a moment and looked at Yan Qing, "Come on, Yan Qing, let me test you."
Yan Qing: ...Ah?
The two of them stared at each other for a while in the dark depths of the sea. Lin Du finally remembered something, "Why was the Chongxiao Ranking chosen to be located here? Fuyun Mountain is the core area of the entire spirit world. Although it is in Zhongzhou, it is considered a core thoroughfare."
"The position of the Qingyun Ranking is prominent, but the Chongxiao Ranking is still seen by people passing by. It is extremely difficult to guard it, and high-level monks have to go there by themselves."
"This address is indeed chosen with deep meaning. I'll look through the notes again. If it doesn't work, we'll go down again." Yan Qing said as he was about to swim upstream.
Who knew that at the moment when a few people wanted to go up, a strong undercurrent rushed down, forming a strange vacuum zone, which directly swallowed everyone in.
