Black Myth: You and I are both destined
Chapter 42: A Story of a 'Non-Greedy' Buddha
Jin Chi didn't react at first, but after hearing the word "waterfall", he took a step back nervously.
"How do you know that!!!"
"Those three don't want to live anymore?"
"I am different from them. I want to live as long as possible. In the past, I always boasted that I lived to be 200 years old. Now that I have really lived that long, I want to live even longer."
Jin Chi's voice was almost shaky and he was not mentally normal.
Tianming thought carefully and realized that the three people he was talking about must be the three monsters from Black Wind Mountain.
And his last sentence indeed verified Tianming's guess. Although he couldn't believe it, the place where the golden pool was in front of him was indeed the future!
That’s why there is a golden pool giant outside that is burnt black and even a little blue.
As for the relationship between Coach Daolang, Guangzhi and Lingxuzi, we will have to consider it after defeating Jinchi.
"You won't survive!"
Tianming was well aware of the working style here, and while Jin Chi was answering, he hit him on the head with a stick.
He now has martial arts skills that are completely different from before, and it is no problem for him to deal with a blind Jin Chi.
The chopping stick posture and the standing stick posture are used freely, and the switching between the heavy stick and the light stick is smooth.
The sound of "Dangdangdangdang" kept hitting Jin Chi's body.
"What kind of bullshit Buddha is this? He can't even stop my stick, and you still want to harvest the wishes of sentient beings?"
"I think you shouldn't be called Jin Guang Mie Tan Buddha. It would be more appropriate to remove the first word and just call you Tan Buddha!"
The gold paint on Jin Chi's body kept falling off, gradually revealing his original charred appearance.
After all these years of hard work, he finally became a Buddha, but now he is so vulnerable!
The accumulated power of wishes also left him one after another, and at this moment he seemed to have returned to many years ago.
Because of greed, he wanted to set fire to Tang Monk and his disciples, but Sun Wukong borrowed the "divine fire cover" and covered Tang Monk with it, and eventually the entire Guanyin Temple and all the disciples inside were killed.
At this moment he has nothing and looks extremely ugly. Beyond these false appearances, what kind of Buddha is this?
He lived for so many years and even became a Buddha, but the only word left in his life was "greed".
He is greedy for money and looks good in front of others, and scheming behind their backs. He has no friends or relatives, and because of his greed, he doesn't even have a close friend.
He wanted to share his brilliant plan with Youzhi, the only surviving serf under his command!
This is his life.
But Jin Chi had no regrets. The eight hundred precious monk robes collected in the seventy rooms made him satisfied.
It was not until the first fire at Guanyin Temple that he became desperate and wanted to bang his head against the wall and die.
But he still survived, met Red Buddha, and finally became a Buddha himself!
Jin Chi collapsed and roared!
"I am already a Buddha, why don't they come to pick me up?"
"Why would I lose again!"
“No matter how smart a person is, he is nothing but a monkey that I can play with at will. I can get whatever I want!”
"Who can compare to me? Who can?"
Jin Chi doesn’t understand!
"He said I saw joy in my eyes, so I dug out my own eyes."
"He said he wanted to collect the power of vows, so I rebuilt the temple and recruited more disciples."
"why why?"
Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and stopped arguing with himself.
The sound also became several times quieter, and only low whispers could be heard.
"Am I just like Youzhi... a monkey being played around by the Red Buddha?"
Jin Chi suddenly got up, rushed towards the half-wall and bumped into it.
At this moment, he had lost all his magical powers, and there was a crack on his head. His brain was splattered, blood and flesh were blurred, and he died suddenly on the spot!
Tianming couldn't help but sigh. The sufferings in this world were piling up layer upon layer. Everyone from top to bottom was constantly thinking about how to harm others. If the four disasters that destroyed the world in the dream really came true, it would be caused by these people themselves.
After Jin Chi died, the monks neither went to mourn nor attacked Tian Ming, their enemy. Instead, they sat there and continued to praise Maitreya Buddha.
Tianming also searched the entire yard. It was indeed different from the outside world. There was no treasure chest, but a travelogue was found.
Tianming put it in his arms, ready to go out and look at it again. The world around him gradually became blurred, and the feeling of a membrane passing through his body appeared again.
He returned to the rebuilt Guanyin Temple again, and what he had just experienced seemed like a dream.
He touched his chest and found that the travel book was missing.
Tianming frowned.
"Could it be that everything that happened just now was just a dream?"
But the next moment, the contents of the travel notes flooded into his mind. Although it could not be presented in words, he roughly understood what was recorded.
It turns out that things from that world cannot be brought here.
The travel notes were written by Jin Chi himself.
That was the 7th year after the Guanyin Temple was built.
Devotees come to the temple to burn incense every day, but there is no smile on Jin Chi's face.
When the Zen temple was first built, people living in the mountain could be tricked into donating money by using various tricks, but now few people donate money unless there is something important.
The county magistrate who helped him to recruit strong laborers at the beginning was beheaded by the new prefect because of corruption.
Now that I still run a temple, I can only help others perform spells to exorcise evil spirits and pray for children, and I don't make much money at all.
And those are all tricks. If someone really gets well or happens to get pregnant, they will claim it as the temple's credit, but it won't last long.
At this time, Jin Chi not only did not cut staff, but instead announced to the people living at the foot of the mountain that the temple would recruit more monks.
The people living at the foot of the mountain were very excited about this. Being a monk means they don't have to do labor service or pay taxes, and they can have their own land. They can just hold Buddhist beads and chant sutras every day and receive offerings from others. The most important thing is that this is called saving all living beings. It's simply a life like a god.
Before long, a long line formed in front of the Guanyin Temple.
There are old and young people, and more are middle-aged people.
But Jin Chi’s standards for accepting disciples were very strict. He did not accept the elderly because they did not have the wisdom, and he did not accept the disabled because they had no affinity with Buddhism.
Even high-ranking officials were not accepted because it was against the law.
In the end, he took in a group of boys from poor families and some strong men with no background.
These people thought that good days were coming, but Jin Chi told them that now they were just practitioners and not members of the temple.
Because of the imperial court's restrictions on Buddhism, to be a monk one must have a certificate of ordination certified by the imperial court. Without a certificate one cannot be a monk. Even if the temple recognizes one, one is still an illegal monk. If one really wants to stay, one can do odd jobs in a Zen temple and re-register when there is a vacancy.
Those people didn't have so many options, so they naturally refused to leave, so they became free labor for the temple. Not only that, because they were not monks in the temple, they had to pay for accommodation and meals, and when they passed by the temple to worship Buddha, they had to offer incense money.
Although not a single monk was recruited this time, a large number of laborers were retained, and Jin Chi once again revitalized the temple.
But his plans go far beyond that.
He was wise when he first started out as a tea merchant, but now he is even more shrewd and greedy.
This is just the first step of opportunity.
