Chapter 363 Beggar
"What are we going to do next!" Bai Yan asked expectantly.

Zhu Qi: "Beggar!"

Baiyan: "Beggar?"

Zhu Qi: "Among all the industries in the world, the most noble one is the emperor, and the lowest one is the beggar! As the saying goes, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The emperor is the mountain, and the beggar is the pool. Water benefits all things without fighting. He is hated by everyone, so he is close to the Tao."

Although Bai Yan was a little surprised that Zhu Qi wanted to take him as a beggar, he didn't have much resistance in his heart.Whether he is a beggar or a general, it is just a fate.In the eyes of monks like them, beggars, wealthy businessmen, and generals are nothing more than appearances.

The reason why Zhu Qi chose to be a beggar is because beggars are at the bottom of all industries in the world.

Being a beggar is the easiest way to see good and evil, and to discern people's hearts.

All the great good and evil in the world are found in this begging.

Buddhism pays attention to practice to control one's nature, and enlightenment to implement one's nature. Every inch of this lies between good and evil.Countless Buddhist monks walk around the world holding alms bowls, giving alms and witnessing evil deeds.Between good and evil, sharpen your mind and practice the Taoism.

Zhu Qi's method is similar to that of Buddhist ascetics.However, the practice of distinguishing the human heart from good and evil, and using the human heart to reflect one's own body, is not unique to Buddhism.Taoist monks also kill demons, help those in need, and accumulate merit.

Zhu Qi didn't care about merit, and some merit didn't help him much.Zhu Qi mainly wants to increase his understanding through kindness and evil.

Day two.

The tavern owner reluctantly sent Zhu Qi and Bai Yan away.The departure of the two made the boss extremely sad.The two of them are smart, capable, hard-working, and with these two around, the boss will have a lot of peace of mind.

However, Zhu Qi and Bai Yan were determined, so there was no way he could stay.

With unkempt hair, rags and filth, Zhu Qi and Bai Yan turned into two physically disabled beggars, leaning against the wall and leisurely basking in the sun.

Seeing the sun rising high, the courtyard door opposite opened on time.

"Here, take these food." An old woman with gray hair held a few steamed buns tremblingly and waved to Zhu Qi and Bai Yan in the corner.

Zhu Qi and Bai Yan stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, mother-in-law!" They took the steamed buns very skillfully and started eating them.

The old woman sighed and said: "Although you are beggars, you are also polite. You should find a job in the city in the future? The old woman can't control you here."

Zhu Qi and Baiyan's expressions froze and said, "Mother-in-law, this is..."

The old woman smiled and said, "I'm going on a long trip recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"

Zhu Qi said: "Thank you for your teachings, mother-in-law. We will go to the city tomorrow to find some work. Mother-in-law, this is a peace charm that I asked for. It is very effective. Please accept it. It is also a token of my support."

The old woman accepted it with a smile.The old woman didn't pay much attention to the Peace Talisman, and she just accepted it out of An Zhuqi's heart.

Under the moonlight.

Baiyan pointed to the courtyard in front and said, "I'm afraid there will be some disaster on her trip."

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "The water vapor is lingering, which is a sign of floods."

Bai Yan asked: "Are we going to take action?"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "She has supported us for more than a month. Now that we are in trouble, we will never turn a blind eye. Good people must be rewarded!"

Bai Yan was speechless for a moment.

I don’t understand what Zhu Qi is thinking.

Over the years they have traveled around the world and seen a lot of bad and good deeds.But regardless of good or evil, Zhu Qi never intervened and always stayed out of the matter.Now, it is because of the remaining steamed buns that I have to support the old man through the difficulties.

You must know that to save people from disasters, you must bear the cause and effect.

The most fundamental reason why many monks who play in the world of mortals will not easily interfere with the cause and effect of the world is that these cause and effect disasters will not disappear. The monks who have survived the disaster in order to prevent the disaster are shouldering the cause and effect that you should have paid.With Zhu Qi's cultivation level, the mere flood had no impact.But if the cause and effect keeps accumulating, even if the Great Luo Jinxian is entangled in the cause and effect, it will be difficult for him to do good.

What Baiyan is worried about is not that Zhu Qi will protect the old woman from disaster, but that Zhu Qi will protect more people from disaster.

Zhu Qi did not explain to Bai Yan.

The old woman supported Zhu Qi and the two for more than a month, which made Zhu Qi see a pure and kind heart.

People's hearts are unpredictable and good people are hard to find.

Just the harvest of understanding the old man's kindness and good deeds in the past month is enough for Zhu Qi to prevent the old man from disaster.

From the second day on, the old woman never saw the two beggars in the alley in front of her door.

It was a chance encounter and they were strangers to each other. The old woman talked about the two beggars for two days and then gradually forgot about them.

More than ten days passed.

The old woman's son returned to his hometown and took the old woman to Fucheng.

The son works hard in Fucheng and has a small family fortune.I wanted to take the old lady to Fucheng earlier to enjoy her life.However, it is difficult for the old man to leave his hometown, so it has been postponed until today.The old man is getting older, and her son is really worried.Only then did he write a letter in advance and personally return home to pick up the old man and go to Fucheng.

His son is also very filial.

Because I was worried about the bumpy journey, I chose to take the waterway to Fucheng.

pity!Good fortune and misfortune are impermanent.

One day, while the boat was walking in the river, it accidentally ran aground on the rocks, and the people on the boat were about to be buried in the belly of the fish.In the old man's carry-on luggage, a peace charm exuded glittering glory, holding the boat to the shore.The frightened old man looked at the peace charm that had turned into ashes and then remembered the two beggars.

For a time, rumors about this supernatural event spread widely.Later, even the governor of Fucheng heard about it and came to visit him.

The old man's calamity was eliminated by Zhu Qi, so he lived in good health for several decades.Their children and grandchildren will also benefit from the blessings of the old man. Although they are not rich from generation to generation, they will have no worries about food and clothing.

As he traveled day by day, Bai Yan realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Zhu Qi will not take action at will.

For example, there is a wealthy businessman in a city who has been giving out porridge and medicine for decades and is a well-known good man.

But he was seriously ill, and Zhu Qi ignored him.

As a member of the demon clan, Bai Yan really couldn't understand Zhu Qi's thoughts.I don’t understand why Zhu Qi helped the old man but ignored this great good man.

Seeing a hundred eyes puzzled, Zhu Qi said: "Fellow Taoist, during my travels, I am only asking about the heart and looking at the heart. I don't care about the traces of the heart."

Baiyan: "It's about the heart but not the traces?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "This Nanfangbu Continent is vast and boundless, and there are countless living beings in it. Everyday joys and sorrows are endless, and good thoughts and evil deeds are intertwined. I have no great wish to save all sentient beings, and everything I do goes back to my original intention."

"Although the old woman has limited abilities, her kindness is pure and she has helped me a lot. Although the rich businessman has many good deeds, her kindness is of no benefit to me, so why should I draw karma?"

"Good and evil in the world are judged by the netherworld and the underworld. What I do is just to resolve the cause and effect of good intentions."

Baiyan nodded gently and said: "I see, it's so easy to talk about the heart but not the traces."

Zhu Qi said with a smile: "Those who do good to me in the world are good, and those who do evil to me are evil. When I am alive, the heaven and earth will exist, and when I die, the heaven and earth will be destroyed. This is how it is!"

Baiyan said with envy: "My fellow Taoist has a round heart and is not bound by restraints. He is really enviable."
