Zen Master Hongyan looked at Wu Ming, and then at Fang Zheng, who was crossing the river at the foot of the mountain. A look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. When he looked at Wu Ming again, his eyes were full of disappointment. Wu Xin beside him wanted to say something, but Zen Master Hongyan stopped him and took Wu Xin down the mountain with him. On the way, Zen Master Hongyan sighed: "The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, Wu Ming is afraid that he will leave Buddhism..."
Wu Xin couldn't help but said: "Master, Wu Ming's nature is not bad."
"How can one become a Buddha if his heart is astray? The poor monk has been trying to cross him for so many years, but he can still only cross his body, but not his heart. Alas..." Zen Master Hongyan shook his head, as if he had aged several years for a moment. Wu Xin also looked helpless and sighed...
At the foot of the mountain, Mr. Du finally came to his senses, turned back suddenly, tugged on Hongxiang's lapel, and said angrily: "Is this the uneducated and deceitful monk you said? Cross the river with a reed, cross the river with a reed! This is It’s the magical power of Patriarch Bodhidharma! Tell me, is such a monk a bastard? A villain?! Huh?!”
Hongxiang was confused just now, but now he came to his senses and said with a panicked expression: "Uncle, it's not me, it's Wuming. Wuming asked me to say that..." As soon as he said this, Hongxiang regretted it. , this is revealing. Hongxiang immediately said: "No, it's..."
Snapped!
A big ear-scratcher hit Hongxiang on the face, and he was knocked to the ground on the spot. Mr. Du said angrily: "I finally understand, you and that bastard Wu Ming teamed up to deceive others, right? You... you two A useless thing, especially you! You let me down so much! Give you another chance, tell the truth!"
Hongxiang has been afraid of Mr. Du since he was a child. Mr. Du got angry and finally told the truth out of fear.
When Mr. Du heard this, he beat his chest angrily and pointed at Hongxiang whether it was a fight or not. His reputation would be ruined for a lifetime. Mr. Du really had the urge to kill.
Fang Zheng didn't know how much of a sensation he caused, but even if it did, there was nothing he could do. He just wanted to cross the river! I don’t want to fall out with Baiyun Temple and create meaningless cause and effect. The most important thing is to fulfill the vow of Yizhi Zen Master. Yizhi Temple can finally participate in such large-scale temple activities. It is no longer a small town that no one cared about back then. It’s a temple!
Seeing that he reached the river, Fang Zheng jumped lightly and climbed onto the river bank. Before Fang Zheng could do anything, he saw an old man walking towards him. When he met, he bowed and saluted!
Fang Zheng was so frightened that he jumped away quickly, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, donor, what are you doing?"
"Master, I can't help you anymore. I listened to the villain's slander and let the ferry not take you across the river. Now that the truth is known, I am guilty." Elder Du burst into tears as he spoke. He has always been strong and stubborn all his life, and he is also a famous impartial and impartial judge in eight villages in ten miles and eight villages. If there is any problem, no one wants to go official, so they usually just go to him to solve it.
Now, Mr. Du listened to the words of Wu Ming and Hong Xiang. One was his nephew, who had done nothing wrong in the past, and the other was Wu Ming, who pretended to be a direct disciple of Zen Master Hongyan and would be the future abbot of Hongyan Temple. He didn't know Wu Ming, but he knew Hongyan. The name of a Zen master. In addition, Wu Ming was indeed good at acting, so he believed Wu Ming and thought that Fang Zheng was a heinous bastard, so he had the ferry sealed to prevent Fang Zheng from crossing the river.
Now things are clear, Fang is the one who was hacked, and he crossed the river with a reed, which may have alarmed everyone. If anyone asked about the reason, Mr. Du would only feel that his eyes were turning black, it was over, it was all over...
Fang Zheng has always been wondering why he was blacklisted inexplicably. He never expected that it was all because of this hot-looking old man in front of him.
Although the incident happened, people came forward and bowed and apologized profusely. What else could Fang Zheng say? Hit him? scold him
To an old man, Fang Zheng couldn't open his mouth or strike.
Just when Fang Zheng was a little troubled, a group of people ran over shouting.
The leader was Brother Hei, the boss of the ship, as well as other crew members and the boss of the ship, followed by a group of pilgrims, each holding a cell phone and snapping photos, and then all the friends in various circles looked at Fang Zheng with their eyes shining brightly, as if they were watching. God!
Brother Hei shouted from afar: "Master Fangzheng, I refused to take you. If anything happens to me, don't embarrass Mr. Du!"
"I refuse to drive you too. Tell me if you have something." Someone else shouted.
Then the boatmen also shouted, and they were all very excited, as if they were afraid that Fang Zheng would embarrass Mr. Du. The mood of protecting Mr. Du was evident on their faces, and it could be seen at a glance that it was definitely not fake.
When Mr. Du heard this, he said angrily: "Shut up! What I do is what I do. Who asked you to shoulder the responsibility?!"
"Mr. Du, you are already so old, so don't fight about this." Brother Hei said.
"Bullshit, are there age differences when making mistakes? Does it mean that as you get older, you don't have to go to jail for cheating? Let me tell you, if you do something wrong, you have done something wrong, and if you do something wrong, you should be punished! I have said this before, and I still say it now I want to say it." After saying that, Mr. Du said to Fang Zheng: "Master Fang Zheng, just tell me something, I am willing to be punished!"
Fang Zheng looked at the stubborn old man in front of him and suddenly lost his temper. Indeed, he did something wrong, but who in the world can do nothing wrong? If you know your mistakes, you can improve a lot. If you know your mistakes and don't correct them, you should be punished. Since the old man is like this...
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, since the donor has said this, the poor monk really wants to punish the donor."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
"Do we really need to be punished?"
"Let's get over it. There are so many people, and they don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. They are so old, and they really need to be punished. They will lose their face."
"Master, this is too much. Even if the other party is at fault, he still apologizes like this... "
Brother Hei and others were not happy either. Just as they were about to speak, Mr. Du turned his back with a look. Du Laoyi raised his head and said: "Master Fangzheng, come on! I accept the punishment!"
Fang Zheng chuckled, took off the cloth bag on his body, stuffed it into Mr. Du's hands, and said, "Since you accept the punishment, just help me carry the bag. Just carry it to the top of the mountain. This thing is quite heavy."
The square cloth bag contained only two rice balls, which together weighed less than half a catty. Mr. Du weighed it with his hands and was stunned. Is this called punishment
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, Fang Zheng walked up the mountain. Mr. Du was stunned for a moment, then he bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng and followed him.
Seeing this, Brother Hei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Du, how about I help you carry it? Master Fangzheng said it was too heavy, but you..."
"What is old? I can't even carry half a kilogram of things? Okay, stop guessing, this is a real mage." After saying that, Mr. Du followed him. He knew very well that Fang Zheng's punishment was not at all Punishment, but to help him save his last face! He is a selfless judge. If he makes a mistake this time, it doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not, or whether he was deceived, as long as he is not punished. So how will he face other people's disputes about right and wrong in the future
