Chapter 58 Are you... a Buddha?(1/2)

Maybe the two bottles of potion had an effect, or maybe it was because Wu Wen's injuries were not as serious as imagined.

In short, on the next day, after Fang Yu woke up from her comfortable bed, she went out down the mountain to pick some wild fruits and vegetables. By the way, she hit two squirrels with stones. When she came back, she saw Tan Wanjun and others sitting on Wu Wen's bed.

Beside him, there was a troubled look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this situation, Fang Yu thought Wu Wen had woken up, but she walked over to take a look.

Really woke up!

After Dai Yuanpei drank the elixir, he fell asleep for two days.

But Wu Wen just slept for a whole night and actually woke up!

Don't just look back on the past, right?

Fang Yu quickly moved over, raised Wu Wen's hand, felt her pulse, and observed it again.

Wu Wen was lying on the bed with his eyes open, but no matter how Fang Yu moved, he remained motionless, as if dead, and did not even blink his eyelids.

This is

Fang Yu thought Wu Wen just had his eyes open and was asleep, but Fang Yu just stretched out his hand to push his eyelids down and took them away again. As a result, he opened his eyes again, but this time

He finally responded.

He turned his head slightly, looked at Fang Yu calmly, spoke slowly, and said in a hoarse tone.

"Are you a Buddha?"

???

When Fang Yu was asked this question by Wu Wen, her head was filled with questions.

But there was no response from Fang Yu. Wu Wen was like a mobile phone. After turning on the screen, there was no operation, and the screen would go black again after a few seconds. After Fang Yu did not respond, he slowly turned his head back and was blank again.

Looking at the beams in the Zen room.

However, his eyes were empty. Obviously, he was not looking at anything, but was in a daze, or thinking about something.

Tan Qing next to him looked a little curious and planned to poke his face with his finger, but was grabbed back by Dai Yuanpei.

Tan Wanjun pulled Fang Yu's clothes, Fang Yu stood up, and the two of them walked to the side. Tan Wanjun told Fang Yu what happened to them before.

It turned out that not long after Fang Yu went out, Tan Wanjun and the others woke up. Then, Tan Qing first noticed that Wu Wen had woken up, with her eyes open and looking blankly at the beams.

First, Huang Mei tried to ask him, "Master?"

As a result, he remained motionless and unresponsive.

Then Fang Sanduo waved his hand in front of his eyes. Only then did he react. He slowly turned his head to look at Fang Sanduo and asked the same question as before.

"Are you a Buddha?"

Fang Sanduo was also confused by the question for a moment and did not respond. Then Wu Wen turned her head back and continued to be in a daze just like she did just now.

In the back, Tan Wanjun and the others tried, no matter how they called, pushed, slapped or hit him, of course, they just patted and hit him lightly. No matter how hard they tried, he would not have any reaction.

But as long as someone is shaking in front of his eyes, he will react immediately, find the shaking person, and then ask:

"Are you a Buddha?"

Tan Wanjun and others also tried to respond to this question.

If they don't answer, or if the answer is wrong, Wu Wen will ignore them, just like entering the password incorrectly, and he will reset again.

Only when he answers "Yes!" will he trigger the second stage.

Yes, he is like a robot now. He will only respond to your words if the answer is correct.

"Why?"

This was the second sentence Tan Wanjun asked when he tried to answer "yes".

Tan Wanjun and the others still haven't found the correct answer to this sentence.

"Are you a Buddha?"

"yes"

"Why?"

How do I know why I am a Buddha?! Aren’t you always asking me if I am a Buddha? If not, you don’t care, and if I am, you don’t believe it!

Tan Wanjun seriously suspected that the little monk in front of her was probably too seriously injured, which damaged his brain and turned him into a fool. That's why he behaved like this.

None of the people present had studied Buddhism or anything like that, so they didn't understand the philosophical concepts of Buddhism.

Naturally, there was no way to answer Wu Wen's question.

No matter what they do next, Wu Wen only has these two sentences: "Are you a Buddha?" "Why?"

Then, they waited until Fang Yu came back.

After hearing what Tan Wanjun said, Fang Yu scratched her face and handed the wild fruits and vegetables in her hands to Tan Qing, asking the little guy to clean them.

About ten meters below the temple, there is a small stream, which seems to be mountain spring water. That's where they received the water last night.

Fang Sanduo, who was next to him, took the squirrel from Fang Yu's hand, and together with Huang Mei, he took the Wan knife that had been disinfected and slightly sharpened with a stone last night, and went to the stream to clean it together.

Anyway, the three of them can't help much in this situation, so why not do something. When Fang Yu comes back, let Fang Yu handle it.

When Dai Yuanpei saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he picked up the earthen pot and planned to go to the stream to collect the water and come back to boil the water.

Seeing that they were all moving, Fang Yu suddenly had nothing to do, so he sat down directly next to Wu Wen without any courtesy.

Now he is indeed quite worried about Wu Wen's condition.

He couldn't really be saved, but he was stupid in the end, right?

What is this?

My idiot brother?

Fang Yu tried to reach out and wave it in front of Wu Wen's eyes, and sure enough, Wu Wen's head began to slowly turn around again.

"Are you a Buddha?"

"yes"

"Why?"

Fang Yu didn't answer.

Everything is just as Tan Wanjun said. If Fang Yu doesn't answer, he will return to his half-dead look and continue to be in a daze.

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Last night, they had actually speculated on what might happen to this temple.

Judging from this known information, Wu Wen is now a monk.

The previous Dawan people probably came to the top of the mountain to take refuge due to heavy rains and flash floods, and found the temple.

Other victims were also found together.

Then everyone entered the temple.

Then, apparently so many people suddenly joined, and coupled with heavy rains and flash floods, food could not be supplied, so they also suffered from famine.

Then, the tragedy of "big hunger and cannibalism" that often happened in ancient times began to take place.

Seeing that there were only monks and thin victims in the room, we could tell that those Dawan people were probably in charge of all this.

Because before the founding of the Chu State, when Dawan invaded the Central Plains, they had done this kind of cannibalism. When they were hungry, these Dawan people, who were not here to do good things, most likely ate food to fill their stomachs.

Choose to attack other people in the temple.

All of them are Dawan soldiers, with strong fighting ability and good figures. Obviously no one can resist them at first.

It was not until later, when they were cornered, that someone might have taken the lead and launched a resistance. In this resistance, most people died, especially the Dawan people. Apparently, among those who killed the Dawan people,

Wu Wen.

Because the broken shoulder pole was right next to him, and among the Dawan people outside, about four or five deaths were due to blows to the neck or head with blunt objects. Fang Yu had observed the broken pole, and it was found at both ends.

Stained with blood, this was obviously the murder weapon.

Anyway, after a catastrophe, Wu Wen was the only one left in the end. Of course, it is possible that all the survivors ran away, leaving Wu Wen sitting cross-legged on a futon and chanting sutras until Fang Yu and the others arrived.

According to what they saw, Wu Wen had been sitting cross-legged on the futon for at least several days.

If Fang Yu and the others were delayed for a while, he would be able to think of himself to death.

After experiencing the tragedy of cannibalism, and also breaking the precept after killing people, now he wakes up and seeks Buddha whenever he opens his mouth.

It’s broken~

It is estimated that Wu Wen cannot accept this kind of tragedy and the fact that she broke the precepts by killing people, and now she urgently needs to confess to the Buddha.

This is just like modern Catholicism, where sinful lambs go to the church confessional to confess their sins.

Wu Wen's appearance now clearly means she wants to repent.

That’s why you catch someone and ask, “Are you a Buddha?”

When I asked why later, I guess he was planning to find someone who at least understood some Buddhist principles. Otherwise, there would be no feedback at all when he confessed.

Of course, these are just his guesses. The details will depend on Fang Yu's answer later.

As for Buddhism, Fang Yu has watched many modern TV series, and many fantasy novels have written explanations of Buddhism. He may not be able to memorize Buddhist scriptures, but when it comes to Zen Buddhism and reasoning, Fang Yu is both good and bad.

Able to live a better life.
