Chapter 210 The Land of Reincarnation (Part 2)
"Master Zhikong, what are the instructions?" An old monk slowly walked up to the high platform, bowed to Ling Chen, and asked.
"I'll ask you, your life is only about a year. Do you want to give up the rest of your life and enlighten the wise men in today's cycle of reincarnation, or should you continue the rest of your life and then reincarnate when your life is over?"
"I wish to pass away in this way to save everyone." After the old monk finished speaking, he fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
Not long after, he tilted his body and his head drooped.
Ling Chen had long seen that he had been exhausted for many years and had already lost his energy and died after losing his breath. This had nothing to do with practice. Many elderly people could hold their last breath and had an obsession in their hearts. Once they lost their obsession, they would die immediately.
Ling Chen clasped his hands together, then spread them and placed them on his head.
Everyone saw a light of inspiration emerge from the old monk's roof door and then disappeared.
…………
The old monk Huichen practiced and helped others throughout his life. He was one of the first local monks to accept Ling Chen's new Buddhist teachings. The reason why he accepted it was of course that he saw the many disadvantages of the original Hu sect. Monks only received offerings, preferred empty talk, but not reality. In fact, there were many branches of China later, and Zen Buddhism emphasized not to do anything or eat. Therefore, local monks actually had an accepted ideological soil for Ling Chen's improvement.
He asked himself about people and things, and he had no guilt. He treated people sincerely wherever he went, and did his best to do everything he could. Although he had occasional selfishness, it was normal for human beings.
When Ling Chen put his hands on his head, his conscious soul came to a long corridor.
He was fearless and walked slowly.
When he stepped into the corridor, the walls on both sides suddenly changed. His lifelong deeds emerged one by one.
Of course Huichen didn't know that this was Ling Chen choosing his life memories into his soul.
How to choose naturally depends on how much Huichen attaches importance to these memories.
From being at home at the age of five, encountering natural disasters, destroying family, wandering outside, and being taken in by a temple, starting from a handyman, gradually gaining recognition from monks and then being ordained.
In the middle, he also met the person he liked, but he had no choice but to miss it.
On the wall of memory, he saw the woman. At that time, she was a believer who came to give, and he was just a servant who swept the floor.
The first time the woman came to worship was to ask for a wishful husband.
He swept beside the Buddha.
A quick glance is the deep root of love.
When we were goodbye, the woman had already come to worship the Bodhisattva who gave birth to the child.
And he has been ordained.
When the woman heard the news for the third time, the woman had already died of dysfunction.
He prayed in front of the Buddha.
"All love will be unpredictable and difficult to last for a long time. I have many fears in my life. My life is in danger of morning dew. I am worried because of love, and fear because of love. If I am separated from love, there is no worries or fear."
He was chanting. He stayed on this wall of memory for a while, but finally shook his head and continued to walk through it. The laughter and joy, the suffering and sorrow all followed his steps.
Going forward again. He saw the scene in his memory.
A child had a fever and was abandoned on the way and was dying. He worked tirelessly to seek medical treatment and seek medicine to save him.
A village was levied by a tax collector to pay undue taxes. He negotiated with him, but was beaten to death and rescued by the villagers.
"Every thought and action are all about practice. In life, a person will walk on the road of practice."
No matter how long the memory is, it will end. Monk Huichen soon came to an end.
I saw whirlpools appearing in front of me, scenes in the whirlpools, rich and poor families, and at this moment, babies are born one by one.
"Am I going to be reincarnated?"
Huichen watched the babies landing on the ground, the parents around him were either happy or sad, the rich were more happy, and the poor family had more mouths to eat.
No one answered him, but Huichen thought a lot.
"I practice in this life and can enter a wealthy family in the next life. But will I consume the blessings of this life?"
He thought this way, which shows that he was a kind man who happened to be Ling Chen's original intention. The fetus that can be reborn in the next life is indeed related to practice. The more good deeds he does in this life, the more accumulations he accumulates, and the more choices he chooses when reincarnating. Of course, if he chooses a poor family, it is his freedom.
However, there are naturally many wealthy families. The number of descendants of wealthy families is also limited, increasing with the development of the times, and evaluations are also changing. An ordinary family in modern times was considered a wealthy family in ancient times. After all, there were all kinds of modern services that could not be achieved in ancient times. Of course, it can only be considered rich, not noble. In ancient times, wealthy families had power and could have a large number of servants to serve, and most modern families could not do it.
He chose, and later the reincarnation naturally had fewer choices.
"No, I am poor in this life, and I will still choose to be poor in the next life. I will practice like this for ten years."
Huichen made this thought and then jumped into a vortex.
…………
On the high platform, Ling Chen looked up and said to everyone, "Master Huichen has been reincarnated and is now in Yongqiu County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, at the home of a villager in Nanhe."
Ling Chen clearly stated the location, and everyone had to believe it, because it was easy to verify that it was only a month away from Yanzhou. If it was a fast horse, it would be possible to arrive in a few days. With Ling Chen's reputation and experience, he would not say such lies.
"You can witness with me,"
After saying this, the monks and some believers were anxious, either boarding a carriage or riding a horse. They went first, and the rest gathered together to move forward with Ling Chen.
…………
More than ten days later, everyone had arrived here, and the local villagers were in a state of fear and fear, and local officials and fellow villagers had already greeted them on the way.
Those who came here earlier had already found the family that gave birth to children. After all, the time and place were all set, and that family of babies were born at that time.
Someone led everyone to the door of this house. The inside was narrow and could not accommodate so many people, so many people had to wait outside the village.
A big fat boy was held by a simple peasant woman and was being watched by many people, but he didn't cry or make a fuss.
The farmers were timid, but the villagers were still standing by to welcome these big names from Luoyang City.
"How can this prove that it is the reincarnation of the monk Huichen?"
Some people asked questions, this was not a questioning Ling Chen, but a questioning intention that everyone would inevitably have when practicing the new Buddhist teachings.
"This matter is extremely simple. After a few months, this child can speak and have premature wisdom. If everyone wants to verify one or two, they can also get a wooden fish."
Ling Chen did this because the soul in the baby's body already existed, which was the old monk Huichen. Although consciousness has not been generated, it is naturally much faster than a completely newborn baby to start from the soul to rebuild it.
And because babies already have souls, they can naturally be more sensitive to some things in the outside world.
Soon a monk accompanied him took the wooden fish.
The baby was originally looking at everyone indifferently, but when he saw Mu Yu, his eyes were wide open and he stared at Mu Yu without moving. When someone put Mu Yu in front of him, he stretched out his still tender little hand and tried to catch it, but naturally he failed.
