Spokesperson of Heaven.
If Tiandao is understood as a financial company, then Ning Tao is actually a wage earner who lends money and collects debts.
Hirano Mitsutoshi is an old man who owes a lot of debt to Tiandao and ran away. After so many years, he has probably forgotten that debt and wants to live a peaceful, contented and happy life. But God has eyes, and the sky net is vast and sparse, so who can escape
Before coming here, Ning Tao never thought that the gift the Yin family and his son were going to give him would be a remnant of the invasion of China. It seemed like a coincidence, but who could be sure that this was not God's will? There seems to be a magical force arranging everything, and this is what happened.
"Are you a lawyer from China, or a family member of the so-called victims?" Hirano Guangming's tone has changed, and he feels a little angry.
Ning Tao shook his head: "None of them."
"Then who are you and why are you telling me this?"
Ning Tao said calmly: "I am actually a practitioner, but I practice the way of heaven, which is different from the way you practice Buddhism. I am just talking to you casually. If you think what I say makes no sense, you You can refute me, you are old, don’t get angry easily, it will harm your body.”
Hirano Guangming was silent for a moment, and then said: "I will not deny the sins I committed, otherwise I would not repent in front of Buddha. Should a person go to hell if he makes a mistake? We should give the person who made the mistake a Opportunity. The Buddha said that you should lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, but why do you Chinese people always cling to history? Even if you sentence me to death and send me to the gallows, you can't change history if you kill me. An old man, a chance to change his ways, am I hurting anyone now, no, I don’t even want to hurt a fish.”
Ning Tao glanced at the fish floats swinging in the water: "Didn't you hurt yourself? No, you are actually hurting them."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Ning Tao said calmly: "If you really think they need food, you can throw the food into the water instead of hanging it on the fishing line for them to eat. Doing this will make them think it is safe. In the future, in the village If people come to fish again, they will rush to eat the bait hanging on the hook. With your mentality, I think you think practice is too boring, so you have to make it more interesting, right? ?”
"You are such an rude Chinese." Hirano Mitsutoshi had lost his fishing mood. He put away his fishing line and rod and prepared to leave.
Ning Tao also stood up from the stone, and then asked again: "If you were given a chance to atone for your sins now, what would you do?"
Hirano Mitsutoshi looked at Ning Tao: "I don't need anyone to give me a chance to atone for my sins. I have done a lot of good things and helped many people over the past few decades. I eat fast and chant sutras every day. I enjoy my current life very much." Life, I am very satisfied and happy, and this has nothing to do with you. I don’t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to see you again. Please go away and don’t bother me again.”
After saying that, he picked up the fishing basket and walked towards his thatched cottage with the fishing rod in hand.
Ning Tao looked at his back with a sneer on his lips: "Mr. Hirano, do you have any family?"
Hirano Mitsumi stopped, turned around and looked at Ning Tao: "What do you want to do?"
"That's it. I just asked casually. Goodbye." Ning Tao turned and left.
"Impolite Chinese people." Hirano Mitsumi shook his head and stopped leaving.
Ning Tao walked towards the village. In the dim light, he could vaguely see three people standing under a tree, the Yin family father and son and Ruan Tianyin.
"Lord." Ruan Tianyin came up to him, his eyes full of concern and curiosity, "Who is that old man?"
Ning Tao said: "An officer of the Japanese invaders." Ruan Tianyin seemed to understand something and turned to look in the direction of the thatched cottage beside the pond with a fierce look in his eyes.
The Yin family father and son also came over.
Yin Renjie said: "Fellow Daoist Ning, what did you talk to him about?"
Ning Tao said: "It's nothing, just casually chatting about Buddhism."
The Yin family father and son could not help but look at each other. The father and son obviously did not expect that Ning Tao would actually talk to Hirano Mitsutoshi about Buddhism.
Ning Tao smiled: "Did you think you would kill him?"
"Fellow Daoist Ning... don't like this gift?" Yin Renjie asked tentatively.
Ning Tao said: "I like it. This is really a special gift for me, but it's not good to just have a gift without packaging."
"Packaging?" Yin Xun said in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Ning, please tell me clearly, what kind of packaging is it?"
Yin Renjie said: "Xun'er, go and bring Hirano Guangmin's family."
"Yes, father." Yin Xun suddenly understood and pulled away.
A light came on in a thatched hut, and then there was the sound of knocking wooden fish, and there was also a faint sound of chanting.
Hirano Mitsutoshi has obviously come out of the unpleasant incident just now and entered the mode he is accustomed to.
Put down the butcher knife, eat fast, chant sutras, and do some good deeds, so that you can eliminate all the sins in your body
"You are too naive. If this was useful, I wouldn't be here." Ning Tao said in his heart.
There were only three people on the way back. Darkness enveloped the forest path, and the village not far away was lit up with lights. Perhaps because of being in an unfamiliar environment, Ruan Tianyin was close to Ning Tao, with her arm pressed against his.
"Friend Daoist Ning, I have long heard that you are a decisive and decisive person, and today I saw that you are indeed so. I hope we will never become enemies." Yin Renjie broke the silence between the three of them.
Ning Tao said: "I only kill people who deserve to be killed. Hirano Mitsuru's crime is extremely heinous, but if his family is innocent, I will not harm his family. I just need his family to urge him to commit suicide."
"I thought you were going to stay in trouble, hahaha..." In the laughter, Yin Renjie changed the subject, "Fellow Daoist Ning, does that mean we have reached a deal?"
Ning Tao said: "It depends on how this matter ends."
"What if everything goes as you wish?" Yin Renjie's eyes were filled with excitement.
Ning Tao said: "Then I will do as you wish, but if I can go to the immortal world, you have to give it back to me."
Yin Renjie smiled: "That's natural. If one day, fellow Taoist Ning comes to ask for it, how dare we refuse to give it to him?"
Ning Tao said: "Please arrange a place for us. I estimate that I will have to stay here for a day or two."
"You don't need to explain this to fellow Daoist Ning. I've already ordered people to make arrangements." The smile on Yin Renjie's face became even brighter.
Back in the village, under the leadership of Yin Renjie, Ning Tao and Ruan Tianyin came to a yard next to the temple.
There are three rooms in the yard, a kitchen, a tea room and a bedroom. The coffee table in the tea room has been removed and replaced with a dining table.
Dishes and wine are already set on the table. The food is Japanese cuisine and the wine is Japanese sake. There is a white-coated Japanese geisha kneeling in a place at the end of the dining table, holding a handful of shamisen, waiting to play.
"Friend Daoist Ning, Miss Ruan, please." Yin Renjie made a gesture of invitation.
Ning Tao said: "It seems that Senior Yin likes Japanese culture very much. He put a lot of thought into the food, wine and geisha, right?"
Yin Renjie was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have heard something from Ning Tao's words, and then said: "Friend Daoist Ning, Quan Zi was really negligent. This was all arranged by him. I will have people withdraw it and redo it." ”
Ning Tao said: "That's not necessary. It's just a meal anyway. There are many people in China who like to eat Japanese food. I'm not the kind of person who is prejudiced against food and customs. Let's just eat Japanese food."
He hadn't finished what he was saying, and what made him feel a little uncomfortable was actually not the Japanese food and Japanese geisha on this table, but the fact that the Yin family, as descendants of Han and Yin Yue people, had changed their living habits into You have to be like a Japanese, which makes people feel a little bit different.
However, such words must not be said to his face, because even the most authentic Japanese culture was actually passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Yin Renjie would definitely refute him like this if he told the truth, and it was not easy for him to refute.
"Then... please." Yin Renjie obviously didn't want anyone to do it again. Although Ning Tao didn't say it out loud, how could he not hear the words hidden in Ning Tao's words. He must have felt uncomfortable, but he hadn't gotten the mountain hoe yet. No matter how outrageous Ning Tao said, he could only listen.
Ning Tao and Ruan Tianyin entered the tea room, took off their shoes and sat down. This time, before Ning Tao could pull up the hem of Tianbao's robe to cover those crystal clear, alluring feet, Ruan Tianyin pulled it over and covered it himself. . Then, she smiled at Ning Tao, her teeth bright and white.
It seemed that it was because of Ning Tao's words that the atmosphere of the entire dinner seemed a bit dull. Except for some dispensable polite words, the three of them didn't talk about anything else. Only the white-coated Japanese geisha played the shamisen and sang an incomprehensible song at the top of her voice.
After dinner, Yin Renjie said goodbye and left. Ning Tao and Ruan Tianyin also came to the only bedroom.
There is no bed in the bedroom, just a tatami mat with bedding, simple but clean and tidy. There is also a wardrobe and a coffee table, not even a chair. There are only two cushions under the coffee table.
"Do the Japanese have a grudge against chairs?" Ning Tao smiled bitterly.
"Lord, do you really want to give them the hoe?" Ruan Tianyin asked. It was hard for her to ask Yin Renjie just now, but now she is alone with Ning Tao, and she can no longer hide things in her heart.
Ning Tao said: "The Yin family father and son are very smart. They have studied me and know me very well, so they gave me the Japanese officer as a gift. I must kill that Japanese officer, otherwise why would I repair it?" The way of heaven?”
"But... we can use other methods to kill the Japanese invading officer without giving them a hoe." Ruan Tianyin said.
Ning Tao shook his head: "A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. The Yin family father and son are indeed a little cunning, but they are not bad people that I can kill if I want. You have also seen that they are very strong. If we do that, we will directly turn them into enemies. I want to kill Nicholas Conde, and I can no longer create strong enemies during this period. The mountain hoe is the magical weapon of Fairy Yin Yue, and I cannot use it normally. It can only be used as a token. If I really have a chance to go to the fairy world in the future, I will take it back. If not, it is useless for me to keep it, so I might as well do it as a favor and exchange it for the gift."
In fact, Ning Tao had already considered these when chatting with Hirano Mitsutoshi about Buddhism, and this decision was made while chatting with Hirano Mitsutoshi.
People like Hirano Mitsutoshi want to atone for their sins
That's up to him.
"So that's it. No matter what my lord decides, I will support you. Whatever you want me to do, I will listen to you." Ruan Tianyin showed a bright smile, "But now there is one thing you have to listen to me. of."
"Well, what's the matter?" Ning Tao asked.
"It's already getting very late, let me help you sleep." Ruan Tianyin said with a smile.
Ning Tao: "..."
