Rebirth: You Save Me with Your Deep Love

Chapter 332: Unwilling and Uneasy

Lin Yuze had no intention of staying to see the final result. After making sure that everything went according to Zhou An's plan and backfired on Zhou An, he turned and left.

They drove in silence all the way until they passed a small hill. When they saw a building located halfway up the hill that looked somewhat dilapidated due to its age, Lin Yuze stopped the car.

"Brother Xiong, do you know where that is?"

Xiong Wu stopped the car, took out a telescope from the storage basket, and looked towards the distant mountains. After a moment, he turned back to look at Lin Yuze: "That is a Taoist temple. It should not be very popular. It is hidden among the trees and does not look like anyone often goes there."

In a place like this, ordinary people would be curious but would only take a look and leave. But somehow, Lin Yuze suddenly had the desire to go forward and take a look.

Maybe it was Zhou An’s last question that made Lin Yuze feel a little uneasy!

No one except myself knows about the experiences and betrayals of my previous life, and I cannot tell anyone about those past events.

In this life, as Zhou An said, even though his initial purpose of approaching Lin Yuze was impure, he did not cause any substantial harm to Lin Yuze.

On the contrary, it was Lin Yuze who cheated Zhou An time and time again. Not only did he help Zhou Huaiyu to plot against him, but today he also used such cruel means to completely destroy Zhou An's dignity and personality.

In the eyes of others, these kinds of situations should naturally make him a person who is vindictive and extremely cruel!

Just like Xiongwu, he would also ask himself "Why not defeat the enemy in one move, but instead play with Zhou An like a cat playing with a mouse".

"Brother Xiong, please accompany me to the mountain. I want to visit the Taoist temple."

The two walked up the mountain along the winding mountain road. The dilapidated bluestone road was seriously aged, and some places were even covered by weeds.

Lin Yuze rejected Xiongwu's suggestion to lead the way, and walked slowly forward, clearing away the dead branches and weeds that blocked the way.

Looking at the three large characters "Yuzhuo Temple" written in smooth and flowing strokes on the old door plaque, as well as the faint pounding sounds coming from the inner room, Lin Yuze took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door, then waited patiently.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and the person who opened the door was a little Taoist boy about eleven or twelve years old. He had slightly long hair, which was tied into a high bun with an elastic band. His chubby face made him look a bit cute.

The child held the door open with both hands, looked the uninvited guest up and down, and said in a mature manner: "If you two want to pray for wealth and safety, you can go to Wenhua Temple. We don't care about that here."

Lin Yuze looked at the little tufts of hair on the little Taoist boy's head and said gently, "I am sorry for being rude. I was just passing by this precious place and saw that it was surrounded by mountains and forests and had a quiet environment, so I wanted to come here to seek peace of mind. I did not come here for money or safety."

The child seemed to have not expected Lin Yuze to say this. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to get rid of the two people in front of him.

Just as the child was struggling, an old yet powerful voice came, "Xiao Yuan, you are a guest, please come in!"

Lin Yuze looked in the direction of the voice, and under the quiet ancient pine trees, there was a white-bearded old man in his sixties wearing a green Taoist robe. He was holding a whisk in his hand, looking peaceful and with an infinite sense of freedom in his eyes.

Everything in this world comes and goes, and there is a cause for every effect!

Having been harmed by Zhou An and Bai Xincha in the previous life, it was only natural for him to seek revenge on them in this life.

But this "should be" no longer seemed so natural after Zhou An's question.

Relying on Chu Tingfeng's protection, he used illegal means to retaliate against Zhou An for the hatred in his previous life. Although it was against the law, it was humane.

But what if the person who hurt you in the previous life is not the same person who has not done anything evil in this life?

If this is the case, do I still have a place to establish myself among the three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism?

The firewood in the stove crackled, and the copper kettle on the blazing fire glowed with an ancient color. When the gurgling sound came, the old Taoist had already sorted the tea leaves, lifted the copper kettle, poured water into it, and then covered it with a lid.

"The homemade tea in the temple, paired with this mountain spring water, has a unique flavor. Please!"

Lin Yuze followed Chu Tingfeng and learned a thing or two about the tea ceremony. He opened the lid of the tea bowl, and the clear tea aroma with the wild flavor of the mountains lingered. After taking a sip, his eyebrows lit up and he said repeatedly: "Good tea, good tea!"

Unlike the strong fragrance of ordinary tea, this tea is like a breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, wild yet with a hint of tenderness, which makes people linger in the aftertaste and can't help but want to take a second sip.

Halfway through the tea, the child who opened the door earlier took Xiong Wu to see the rabbit he kept in the cage, leaving Lin Yuze and the old Taoist priest sitting opposite each other.

Lin Yuze removed the words about his rebirth, past life and present life, and told the old Taoist priest everything.

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest asked three questions in a row: "Can you choose between unwillingness and uneasiness?"

"If you throw a stone into the water, ripples will appear on the lake; if you knock on the mountain and scare the tiger, all the beasts will be frightened. If you implicate innocent people because of the fault of one person, you have a chance of winning. But can you still say you have won?"

"Time and space go round and round. Today is you and tomorrow is me. If you don't seek happiness for the rest of your life and ignore the weak, aren't you just following someone else's path?"

Under the old Taoist's all-seeing gaze, Lin Yuze felt embarrassed as if he had been seen through, as if the most secret things in his heart were known by the other party. For a moment, he wanted to get up and run away.

But he can't escape yet!

He wanted to know, "Is there a choice between reluctance and uneasiness?"

Lin Yuze rubbed his hands and said stiffly: "If we can make the lake surface ripple-free and all the animals safe, can it be considered as making up for the cause and effect? ​​If the cause and effect is inevitable, how will it be fulfilled?"

Lin Yuze, who had just been reborn, was not afraid of life or death; Lin Yuze, who had fallen in love with Chu Tingfeng, would pay more attention to the comments of people from the outside world, apart from life and death.

He wants to be with Mr. Chu, live a long and peaceful life!

Now, if this cause and effect only happened to me, it would be fine, but if...

Xiong Wu, who was playing with a rabbit in the yard, immediately stood up and greeted Lin Yuze when he saw him come out. He looked at the other person's face carefully, and only felt relieved when he saw nothing unusual.

In the car, Lin Yuze took out a notebook and started writing and drawing, and only stopped when the car stopped in front of the Chongjing Haoting Villa.

Lin Yuze tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Xiong Wu along with a bank card. "Brother Xiong, please give this money anonymously to Zhou Xu's lover Lina, and Shao Qing in prison. Please also take care of her for me and don't let her suffer any unnecessary pain..."

Lin Yuze can seek revenge on Zhou An, but those innocent people who were implicated, no matter what their character is, are not something Lin Yuze can judge or deal with.

Because he is unwilling to give in, he will not let Zhou An and Bai Xincha go; because he is uneasy, he will try his best to compensate those innocent people who were implicated, even though they may not be good people according to secular moral norms.
