"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter?" Li Hai asked the boy after he brought the boy to the side of the teahouse.
"Li shopkeeper, the cold poison in my mother's meridians has flared up again in the past few days. I want to buy another pair of Chiyang tea." The young man said with his head bowed.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Li Hai nodded, turned and walked into the store.
The young man looked at Li Hai's back, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head deeply.
Soon, Li Hai came out, holding a red jade box in his hand.
"According to my previous instruction, drink it three times, and the cold poison will be suppressed." Li Hai handed the jade box in his hand to the young man.
"Thank you, Uncle Li. It's just that, in order to treat my mother's illness these years, my family's silver has been exhausted. The rest is here, which is far from enough..." the boy said, and from a small patched cloth bag, He took out several pea-sized pieces of broken silver.
"I know all about your family's situation. You should take this box of tea back to your mother first, and if you still need it later, just come and get it." Li Hai smiled slightly, but did not take the silver from the young man's hand.
"Uncle Li..." The young man's eyes were slightly red, and he bit his lips tightly, but the tears still fell from his eyes.
"Okay, I don't shed tears easily, I'm going back soon, your mother is waiting for you." Li Hai patted the young man on the shoulder, turned and walked back to the teahouse.
The boy wiped away his tears vigorously, then suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed twice towards the teahouse, then turned and left.
Inside the teahouse, Han Li showed a look of surprise.
The place where he and Zi Ling were sitting was separated from the young man by a wall, but this wall naturally couldn't stop Han Li.
Han Li has already achieved some success in beheading good corpses, and he is sensitive to kind thoughts, so he clearly sensed that when the young man kowtowed to Li Hai to thank him, an invisible force of kind thoughts appeared on Li Hai's body and entangled him. .
The power of that kindness is quite a lot, far better than Han Li's previous good deeds.
"How could it be? It's also doing good deeds. Why did Li Hai receive so many good thoughts? What's the difference between me and him?" Han Li's thoughts turned in his mind, thinking about the reason.
His eyes were fixed on the water glass in his hand, his breathing was rapid, and he vaguely felt that he was about to find out the reason, through a thin layer of window paper, with a little force, it would be broken.
"Huh!" At this moment, Zi Ling, who was flipping through the book, suddenly let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Han Li looked over.
"Brother Han, look here. This "Liyuanzhai Ji" was written by a Confucian and Taoist master. There is a sentence in it, which is somewhat related to the good deeds you have done." Zi Ling handed the book in his hand He came over and pointed to a paragraph of text above.
Han Li looked at it, and saw that it said: "Doing good is not a good thing, but once you have a good name, you will invite slander and misfortune. Be careful and avoid it."
A flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and the window paper in his mind shattered, suddenly enlightened.
"I know, I know! When doing good, if you have a utilitarian mind, you are only hypocritical. No matter how much you do, you will deviate from your original heart. Only when you have no other thoughts and don't ask for anything in return, is the real kindness .” Han Li let out a sigh of relief and said so.
Although Li Hai is a Mahayana stage monk, he retired to this desolate and angry small town in the fairyland, and he has already seen through the matter of cultivation. Now he is helping the young man with a pure heart, and he does not expect anything in return. This act of kindness can be said to be his best Things that come naturally from the heart will be blessed by the power of many kind thoughts.
The first time I rescued the storyteller grandfather and grandson, I actually thought about it occasionally, and they belonged to the same category.
"So, brother Han, you did a lot of good deeds before, but you did it deliberately for the purpose of beheading corpses. You didn't get much merit because of your obsession and utilitarianism in your heart." Zi Ling is also a smart person. Han Li briefly mentioned, She understood immediately.
"Now that we know the reason, it will be much easier to deal with." Han Li smiled, and all the worries of the past few days were swept away.
Seven years later.
In a secluded place in Xiangyi, a store has changed to a new owner. They are a young couple who have turned the original grocery store into a medicine shop. While selling medicinal materials, they are also curing diseases and saving lives.
Although the couple are young, their medical skills are extremely high. Not only can common ailments of ordinary people be cured, but also many difficult and miscellaneous diseases can be treated with remarkable curative effect.
Moreover, the consultation fees charged by the couple were extremely low, and soon became famous, spreading throughout the abandoned city.
For a while, the remote medical hall was crowded with people.
This couple is naturally Han Li and Zi Ling. With the two people's current cultivation level, it will not take any trouble to treat the ailments of these mortals, as well as some intractable diseases that plague the mortals.
Prior to this, Han Li had spent seven full years treating himself as an ordinary person in this small town, living and working here, trying his best to forget his private thoughts, and even his status as a monk.
Then, with the money he had saved here bit by bit over the years, he bought a shop and opened a medical clinic, sincerely treating diseases and saving lives without asking for anything in return.
It's just that this kind of selfless heart is not something that can be achieved just by attaining it.
In his way of curing illnesses and saving lives, it is still unavoidable to be mixed with selfish thoughts, and there is no power of kind thoughts coming.
Out of a hundred times of saving people, at most one or two can maintain the selflessness of the heart.
However, Han Li was not in a hurry, and continued to try to figure out the true meaning of kindness while treating illnesses and saving lives.
The medical clinic has been open for ten years, and it has changed from a new medical clinic to an old medical clinic. The young couple inside have also entered middle age.
Time flies, thirty years passed by, and the young couple of that year gradually entered the twilight.
Gradually, Han Li's heart became purer, he saved more and more people selflessly, he gained more and more power of kind thoughts, and his sensitivity to the kind corpses improved by leaps and bounds.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.
This medical center has become a century-old store, and has become a well-known time-honored brand within a thousand miles, and the shopkeepers have also changed "several generations".
In the inner room of the medicine hall, Han Li sat cross-legged, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, with a peaceful expression, and a layer of lustrous light flashed on his face, like a treasured image of a Buddha.
Zi Ling stood aside, watching Han Li silently.
There is also a hint of fluorescence in her expression, and her temperament is more elegant.
Over the years, she has been by Han Li's side, and she has done a lot of good deeds and received a lot of blessings from good thoughts. Although she has not made much progress in cultivation, she has made great progress in terms of spirit and spirit.
After a long time, Han Li opened his eyes, as if two bolts of lightning flashed across the inner room.
"Brother Han, is everything ready?" Zi Ling asked softly.
"The induction of the good corpse has been completed, and now I have figured out the true meaning of 'good', and I can kill the good corpse with 80% certainty by using the technique of splitting the corpse." Han Li said.
"That's good." Zi Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Li looked at the hospital where he had been staying for a hundred years. Even though his state of mind was already extremely high, he still couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
"Let's go." He shook his head, and quietly walked out of the hospital with Zi Ling.
At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, and there are no patients outside.
"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Ziling, are you two leaving?" A voice came from Li Hai, the shopkeeper of the teahouse.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you have been taken care of over the years." Han Li clasped his hands and said solemnly.
His gift came from the heart, if it wasn't for Li Hai back then, he would not have discovered the problem of doing good deeds.
"Fellow Daoist Han is too polite. Over the years, I have not helped you much. On the contrary, I have given you a lot of advice from fellow Daoist Han. Thank you Li." Li Hai hurriedly returned a gift.
For more than a hundred years, Han Li often went to teahouses in Lihai to drink tea and chat while doing good deeds.
Although Li Hai originally decided to live in seclusion in the Hegang Immortal Territory, but with Han Li's guidance, he also rekindled his thoughts on cultivation. Sometimes Han Li's seemingly casual words can make his Benefited a lot.
"The first time I saw you two, I knew that you were not ordinary people, and that you were far from someone, and what you two did was beyond my comprehension, but no matter what, I wish you both all the best in the future. "Li Hai looked at Han Li and Zi Ling with a complex look on his face.
"You too, Fellow Daoist Li. If there is a destiny in the future, Mr. Han will come to drink tea at Fellow Daoist Li's teahouse again." Han Li said with a laugh.
"Welcome anytime!" Li Hai was overjoyed and nodded heavily.
When he raised his head, the figures of Han Li and Zi Ling in front of him had disappeared.
Looking at the empty street, Li Hai felt a sense of loss for no reason, and stood outside for a long time before returning to the teahouse.
Looking at the quiet tea room, the melancholy in his heart gradually dissipated.
The world that Han Li and Zi Ling live in may be more exciting and desirable than that in the deserted city, but the quiet life here in the deserted city may not be another kind of happiness.
There was a hint of satisfaction on the surface of the sea, and he walked towards the inner room and began to prepare today's spiritual tea.
…
In Hegang Immortal Territory, an unnamed mountain range, a flash of lightning flashed in the void, and the figures of Han Li and Zi Ling emerged.
"It's right here." Han Li looked towards a tall mountain in front of him, and made a gesture.
A golden sword qi shot out from his fingertips, sinking into the mountain wall like thorny tofu.
The sword qi wandered within the mountain wall like a living thing, and after a few breaths, a cave was dug out.
"Hegang Immortal Territory's heaven and earth spiritual energy is so thin, I'm afraid it's not good for you to kill the corpse." Zi Lingxiu said with a slight frown.
"It doesn't matter, my cultivation has reached my level, and I have already been able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth from many spaces. The thin vitality here does not affect it. More importantly, I realized the true meaning of goodness here, and my soul is very compatible with this fairyland. , the chances of successfully beheading the corpse are higher here." Han Li said.
"So there is such a reason." Zi Ling was stunned.
Han Li then flew into the cave with Zi Ling, placed layers of restrictions around the cave, turned around and walked towards the innermost secret room.
"Brother Han." Zi Ling suddenly stopped Han Li with a worried look on his face.
Every time the corpse is cut, it is a big test for the main body. It is fine to kill the corpse successfully. Once it fails, it will cause great harm to the main body.
"Don't worry, after so many troubles, this time, I'm sure." Han Li held Zi Ling's hand and said with a confident smile.
Infected by Han Li's confidence, Zi Ling nodded heavily.
Han Li let go of Zi Ling's hand and walked into the secret room.
With a "bang", the door of the secret room was closed, and a layer of golden light appeared on it, completely isolated from the outside.
