Chapter 261 - The Goodness of Human Nature

The human heart is shackled by desire and greed, so much so that it ignores the suffering of others and only pursues what it wants. Is such a person still worth saving?

The woman in front of me was still chattering endlessly, and many people started to gather around me when they heard the noise. I was about to become the target of public criticism. In order to avoid causing trouble, I immediately cast my eye on the woman in front of me.

Scenes flashed before her eyes. She was bullied since childhood, helpless and helpless, and was repeatedly deceived when she grew up. However, she was obviously very caring as a child, caring for people around her and small animals, but life did not

Instead of favoring her, she was forced to embark on an unbearable path. Over time, her heart became numb, and she accepted this kind of herself and this kind of life.

Alas...

People who are scrutinized by the chasing eyes will also be judged by the sins they have committed in the past. These were either forced before or they are commonplace now. These things that have hurt others have now all come back to themselves.

The middle-aged woman squatted on the ground helplessly, covering her face and crying, her body twitching due to her efforts to restrain her emotions. She kept saying "I'm sorry" and repenting for the mistakes she had made before.

When everyone saw someone crying, they gathered around and made a fuss, accusing me of bullying a woman. At the same time, it was the first time that so many people were surrounding me and I said to the woman, "I hope you will do well for yourself."

", and then he found a gap and got out of the crowd, staying away from this place of right and wrong.

"Aren't you going to help those people get their money back in the early Yuan Dynasty? I promised that old man before." Hariya reminded me immediately when he saw that I had left, and not in the direction of the market.

"I did what I should do. If the world can really repent, it means it is worth saving, then what Xuan Yi and I have done will be meaningful. And I have already planned to do it, so I believe these humans will do it.

What I think is right." After I walked out of the market, I started walking slowly towards the Banshan Temple in the east of the city. It was getting dark now, so it was time to set off.

After turning a corner, the tree-lined road ahead looked very familiar. It was the same road I took when I first entered the city after dark.

"Enter the early Yuan Dynasty, this is where we first met the two bad guys." Hariya also found familiar buildings, green plants, and iconic street lights on the roadside.

"Yes, I can sense that those two people are not far from here." They were brought back by my water of life, so their breaths were also recorded by me.

"Are they still here? Maybe they're back to their old ways!"

"Let's go and take a look." After locking their location, I planned to see if these two people had really changed. "If they really go back to their old ways..."

"People from the early Yuan Dynasty?" Hariya waited for the second half of my sentence.

I didn't dare to answer. The human heart is really a complex thing. When you say something with certainty, you can believe it, but after you turn around, these words are as light as a feather.

After passing through several small alleys, a small car repair shop at the intersection came into view, and the breath of the two of them was in it. A man crawled out from the bottom of the car propped up on the ground, with a black coat tied to his body.

He put on his apron, held a big wrench in his hand, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and printed the oil stains on his sleeves on his face. This person was the boss that night.

"Lao Liu, give me a glass of water!" The boss shouted into the rolling shutter door.

Three seconds later, a man walked out, handed the tea cup to the boss, and then said, "Brother, the sixth man is washing the car in the back."

The eldest brother took a few big sips, and after he regained his composure, he handed the cup back, "Third eldest brother, if you think the second eldest brother is okay, ask him to come over and help me. I'm going to fall apart from exhaustion alone."

"The second brother is also busy. I'll ask the fifth brother to come over. She's fine now."

"She is a woman, how can she do this? Forget it, come and help me, let her guard the front desk." After the boss finished speaking, he rummaged around in the toolbox next to him.

"Then I'll go change my clothes and come back." The third child turned back with the water glass in hand.

"People from the early Yuan Dynasty, it seems that your choice is right. They have indeed chosen a serious business." Hariya seemed to understand the business they were doing, and did not hurt others as before.

"That's right, and the people under him were also brought back by him. Being able to save so many people is considered a meritorious deed!" I stood at the end of the road and looked at their electronics, and I felt a little bit in my heart.

Things that were uncertain now have answers.

The boss looked for tools for a while and took out a small wrench. When he raised his head, he saw me across the road in the distance, but it was already getting late. He stood there and tilted his head and looked for a long time, still not sure.

Suddenly the street lights on the road turned on, and the slightly yellow light stretched my shadow. At this time, the boss finally recognized me. At this moment, just like that time, he waved his hand to me.

holding the wrench and shouting loudly, "Expert, is that you?"

"Would you like to go over there and meet me at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty?"

"I don't think so." I retreated into the alley and disappeared into the night.

After the sun set, night fell very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the street lights were lined up in two strings, lighting up the nightlife. Based on the experience last time, Hariya and I arrived at the moat with ease, and a water barrier surrounded us.

I wrapped my bag and submerged it into the river, and followed the river to the east of the city at a very fast speed until I reached the foot of the mountain.

Hariya originally wanted to use the power of water to "throw" us into the temple on the mountain like last time, but this time I refused such a method.

"Halia, let's go up like everyone else this time."

"I understand what the Yuanchu people meant." After saying that, Hariya controlled the water barrier and came to the remote path.

At this time, most of the people on the road were going down the mountain, and only a few people were still walking up the winding road like me.

There were all kinds of people coming towards us, including farmers in simple clothes, slightly bald elites in suits and leather boots, elderly people who staggered and took a break every two or three steps, and children who were jumping around and tireless. Farmers

What do people have to worry about? A good harvest and a healthy family may be what they want. Elites have

What is there to worry about? The business is concluded and the money is paid on time to support the family. Life is already a blessing. What is there for the elderly to worry about? It would be good if their children and grandchildren are healthy and safe. It would be better if they could come and see themselves occasionally.

What can children have to worry about? Maybe they can play games or buy toys they like.

Everyone who goes up the mountain has something to ask for in their heart. Can what I want in my heart be solved by praying to God and worshiping Buddha?

Gods and Buddhas cannot bring salvation to the common people; some things must be done by people.

After arriving at Banshan Temple, the magnificent main hall is still a spectacular sight. These pillars, which need to be surrounded by several people, will probably take hundreds of years to grow, and the main hall requires more than a few hundred beams and pillars. In the main hall,

The gods and Buddhas are sitting upright, and the dancing gods and Buddhas are also sketched on the walls on both sides. The devout believers are bowing to them one by one.

I walked through the corridors and alleys, and headed straight for the small Zen monastery in the back mountain. Along the way, I met many monks who couldn't help but look back at me, which made me a little strange.

"Hariya, is there something on my face? Why are these people always staring at me?"

"Sir, Yuanchu people, you haven't changed much from usual. Are we not allowed to come here..."

A middle-aged monk walked across the street, followed by two tall followers. None of the three of them looked very friendly.

The middle-aged monk was the first to speak, "Have you lost your way? The Buddhist temple near the back mountain is a resting place for our Buddhist disciples and is generally not open to the public."

I also clasped my hands and said, "I am here to ask for an audience with the abbot. In this case, please tell the abbot that the tourists who came that night are here to disturb you again today."

"Oh? Have you been here before? Why don't I have any impression of you?" The middle-aged monk also has eyes that seem to be able to see through people. He stares closely as if he wants to see if I show my weakness. After all, it happens from time to time.

People come to the temple to cause trouble under this guise.

"I'll be waiting here. Please go ahead and let me know." I sat down on the stool in the corridor to show my sincerity and stared at the middle-aged monk.

"You two watch him, I'll ask the abbot." The middle-aged monk told the two disciples behind him, and then turned around and went back.

"People from the early Yuan Dynasty, if I had known we would have come here directly in the middle of the night, but now there are so many people and they have blocked us here." Hariya complained.

"Last time we had no choice but to break in in the middle of the night, which was already disrespectful. This time we will come in an open and honest manner, so as not to embarrass them, and it will also make it easier for us to come in and out in the future." I said to Hariya, this water elf is very uncomfortable with breaking into other people's mountain gates secretly.

There is no feeling about this kind of thing.

After a while, the middle-aged monk came back in a hurry. When he got close, he clasped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. Please come with me. The abbot is waiting for you in the Zen room." After that, he hurriedly pulled up.

He followed me away, leaving the two monks behind him in confusion. This change of attitude must have been too fast.

"As soon as the abbot heard that I said you had visited me at night, he stood up immediately and asked me to come over and invite you over and call you a noble person."

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Your temple's great merit is to open the gate and help all sentient beings. I can't be considered a noble person." I didn't expect that the abbot had a new title for me. Could it be that the matter discussed last time had already been discussed in a big way?
