??A human city was crumbling in the flood. For safety reasons, it had been built more than ten miles away. In previous years, the flood only reached the city gate at most, but this year, the flood hundreds of feet high directly hit the city wall.
??The largest flood in recorded history.
??The monk Du Shi landed in front of Hong Lang, turned his back to the people in the city, and muttered something in a low voice.
??"Amitabha."
??Immediately afterwards, the golden body of Arhat appeared, and the Buddha's light broke through the dark sky. A giant Buddha stood in front of the city, blocking the huge waves that kept coming.
??This went on for a whole day and night, and the surging river seemed to never stop, tirelessly hitting the giant Buddha.
??Du Shi sat in front of the giant Buddha, reciting scriptures continuously, his brows slightly furrowed, and beads of sweat appeared on his face.
"It seems that not all Buddhists are petty and despicable people, but it is still like digging for gold in shit. It's a pity that such a good character is practicing Mahayana Buddhism."
??A plain voice came from somewhere. Monk Du Shi turned his head and saw a Taoist in green standing in the air, standing there quietly, as if he did not exist.
??This person’s cultivation is higher than mine.
"You may ridicule me, but please do not belittle my Mahayana Buddhism."
??Although he cannot see through this person, Du Shi will not be afraid of him because of his cultivation. Buddhism cannot be slandered.
The Taoist in green clothes smiled disdainfully: "Is there anything wrong with what I said? Then little monk, explain to me why all the sufferings in this life are caused by the karma of the previous life?"
"There are too many sufferings in this world. No matter what sufferings you encounter in this life, they are all the mistakes you made in the previous life, and you brought karma into this life. Everything is empty, but cause and effect are not empty. If all the sins you have committed are not resolved, they will follow you no matter how many reincarnations you go through."
??As a genius that has not been seen in Buddhism for thousands of years, Monk Du Shi naturally knows the Buddhist teachings by heart.
"Therefore, people should do more good and less evil, so as to avoid suffering in the next life."
The Taoist priest in green asked again: "Where is reincarnation?"
??“Reincarnation is at the end of the Wangchuan River.” Monk Du Shi answered without hesitation. This is something everyone knows.
??However, the other party’s next sentence stunned him.
"I have been to the end of the Forgotten River, but I have not seen reincarnation or people."
??“…” Monk Du Shi didn’t know how to answer. At this moment, he thought that the Taoist was talking nonsense. How could anyone reach the end of Wangchuan River? It was a forbidden place from which there was no return.
Seeing that the monk did not answer, the Taoist in green clothes said, "Since there is no reincarnation, then where does the cause of the previous life come from? It is just a lie used to purify incense and enslave the people. Why do you have to make it so high-sounding?"
"If you enjoy the incense without any merit or virtue, the common people will even pee on the dragon king if they pray to the dragon king, and will only taste the fruits of their past lives in this life if they pray to the Buddha."
Monk Du Shi suppressed his anger and said, "What merits do you have? You are questioning my Mahayana Buddhism. If my Mahayana Buddhism is really as bad as you say, how can it spread all over the world?"
"Maybe people who have no shame are invincible."
??Before he could refute, the Taoist in front of him suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, which instantly overshadowed his Buddha's light and even pierced through the clouds in the sky.
??Golden body of merit, almost boundless merit.
Monk Du Shi was stunned. He really couldn't imagine that there were people in the world who had so many merits. Moreover, these merits were mixed with extremely pure faith, and it was obvious that they were worshipped by others.
??He recognized the man in front of him.
"Are you a medical immortal?"
??Li Hua, the medical immortal, has saved countless lives, brought people back to health with his miraculous hands and has a loving heart.
??To this day, doctors all over the world respectfully call him the ancestor. Countless people have been saved by the medical books he passed down.
"My merits are not much, but they are enough to calm this turbulent river."
??The Taoist in green waved his hand, and the golden body of merit flew out and sank into the surging river.
??In an instant, the water in the river was dotted with golden light, and the raging flood subsided visibly. The huge waves quickly dropped from hundreds of feet to a few feet, and finally calmed down completely.
??The thick clouds broke open a little, and rays of sunlight fell down, hitting the Taoist, making his figure shine brightly.
??The Taoist in green turned around and walked away in the air, without taking away a cloud or asking for a cheer.
??Monk Du Shi came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
"Senior, please stay!"
??Sorry, it's a bit late
