Chapter 497 Reincarnated Spirit Child 3
As the strange bird moved, the wind grew stronger, causing Ren Yinyin and the others to lose their footing and retreat.
Xiao Hai didn't react in time and was blown over, falling to the ground.
Just then, a large hand reached out and helped Xiao Hai up.
Xiao Hai turned around and saw that it was a group of lamas!
Mao Xiaofang was somewhat enraged, and his peach wood sword shot out, striking the strange bird squarely.
The strange bird was injured, flew away from the Feng Shui tree, and disappeared into the night sky.
……
After driving away the strange bird, Mao Xiaofang and his group led the lamas back to Fuxi Hall.
Upon entering the Fuxi Hall, the leading lama sat opposite Mao Xiaofang.
"Thank you so much, Master, for helping my disciple!" Mao Xiaofang was referring to the lama helping Xiao Hai up.
The leading lama was very humble and kind, saying, "This is the young benefactor's good fortune! Buddhism and Taoism are one family; we are both seeking liberation from the suffering of reincarnation and spreading the Dharma to all sentient beings!"
Then, he praised Mao Xiaofang, saying, "The Taoist priest does what he can to relieve the suffering of the people. This can also be considered a kind of worldly cultivation."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mao Xiaofang asked curiously, "We've been talking for so long, and I still don't know your Dharma name, Master?"
The lama smiled slightly and replied, "We come from the Potala Palace. My monastic name is Atisha."
"Oh, so it's the Great Lama Atisha!" Mao Xiaofang exclaimed in realization. "May I ask what brings you to Gantian Town?"
He wondered to himself, how could these lamas travel all the way to such a small place as Gantian Town when the Potala Palace is so far away in Tibet?
Atisha Lama explained with a smile, "Our main purpose in coming here is to propagate Buddhism."
Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly and pressed on, "China is so vast, why did you choose to come to the south to promote Tantric Buddhism?"
He always felt that these lamas' motives were not so simple.
Atisha chuckled, “If we go to the west, they’ll ask us why we didn’t go to the east; if we go to the east, they’ll ask us why we didn’t go to the south!”
Atisha looked at Mao Xiaofang and said with a smile, "Wherever there are living beings, there is the Way! Everything comes down to fate!"
Mao Xiaofang didn't press further, but nodded and said, "Alright, Master, if there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask!"
"Thank you, Daoist Master, Amitabha Buddha!" Atisha clasped his hands together and bowed.
"You're welcome!" Mao Xiaofang nodded slightly.
After the lama left, Mao Xiaofang frowned and pondered.
The earth shook in Gantian Town, a strange bird appeared, and a lama preached. What was the purpose of all this?
“That great lama named Atisha is dishonest!” Ren Yinyin stood up and looked out the door. “When you ask him questions, his answers are all empty rhetoric!”
"So that means not a single word is true?" Ah Xiu muttered, resting her chin on her hand.
She is straightforward and dislikes people who are good at talking.
“That’s not true!” Ah Chu interjected with a grin. “At least his name isn’t fake!”
Xiao Hai nodded. "Atisha said they came from the Potala Palace, which should be true."
"You traveled all the way from the Potala Palace just to spread Buddhism?" Achu didn't believe it. "And to our small county town? Even a fool wouldn't believe that!"
"I wonder what's in Gantian Town that attracted the strange bird and this group of lamas!" Ren Yinyin felt that a lot was going to happen next.
Yes, a shoulder bag and a treasure pouch must never leave your side!
After listening to their conversation, Mao Xiaofang nodded in agreement, "You all need to pay close attention to the situation in Gantian Town and make sure the villagers don't get hurt!"
"Yes, uncle!"
"I understand, Master!"
The four of them readily agreed...
Unbeknownst to everyone, after they left the town, another great lama arrived in Gantian Town.
He picked up the bloodstained feathers that the strange bird had dropped from under the feng shui tree and said with compassion, "A spiritual child has been born, the terrain has changed, and this place will be a river of blood!"
At this point, the high lama put his hands together in prayer and chanted a Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha Buddha!"
His name is Nyingma, and he is one of the Living Buddhas of the Potala Palace, holding a highly respected position.
This trip to Gantian Town is also for the sake of the reincarnation!
He wanted to find the child prodigy as soon as possible, help him gain spiritual insight, help him remember his past life, and bring him back to the Potala Palace to prevent further turmoil in Gantian Town.
……
Atisha and his lamas opened a medicine shop called Wanyingtang in Gantian Town, where they distributed medicine and rice to the villagers, and also paved roads and built bridges...
In an instant, the town of Gantian developed a much better impression of these high lamas.
Gantian Town is small and has no private schools or regular schools. Children who want to study have to go to the provincial capital or other larger towns.
After learning about the situation, the lamas went to the police station and told Director Song that they wanted to borrow the ancestral hall in Gantian Town to set up a school so that the children could study!
Elder Song was worldly-wise and firmly believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
However, since these lamas seemed sincere, Director Song could only say that he needed to consult the villagers.
The villagers were delighted to hear that their children wouldn't have to travel so far to study, and they all agreed.
When Black Rose learned that going to the Lama School meant not only no tuition fees but also cakes and steamed buns to eat, she immediately decided to send Little Shrimp there as well.
……
Seeing so many changes in Gantian Town in recent days, Mao Xiaofang was worried, so he sent Achu and Xiaohai to find the strange bird.
Please ask Shu Ning for help in investigating the origin of the strange bird.
When Achu and Xiaohai went to the mountains outside the town to look for birds, they saw a lama bullying a villager. He not only beat him but also set fire to his fields.
The two men couldn't stand it and went to question the lama, but the lama easily threw them away.
Not only that, the lama also used magic to connect their hands and feet, forming a ball that rolled back into the Fuxi Hall.
Mao Xiaofang was drinking tea when he saw this and frowned, asking, "What are you two doing?"
"Master, it wasn't us who did it, it was a lama who harmed us!" Achu cried out in despair, he had really lost face today.
If someone rolled down the street in Gantian Town, they would definitely be laughed at for a long time.
Xiao Hai explained what had happened, then grimaced and cried out, "Master, don't ask anymore, my back hurts so much!"
Mao Xiaofang stood up, walked forward, lifted Xiao Hai's shirt from behind, and discovered a few small characters that were flashing.
"Selfless yet compassionate outside the online world?"
Mao Xiaofang slowly put down the clothes, his expression solemn. "Why have so many experts come to Gantian Town? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
"Uncle-Master, what do those seven characters mean?" Ren Yinyin asked curiously.
She is quite skilled in Taoist magic and martial arts, but she is not very good at using esoteric Buddhist and Taoist language.
"It's just the Buddhist word 'wandering'!" Mao Xiaofang explained, "It means they're stupid and dumb!"
“My junior brothers are too young and their cultivation is no match for his, so he doesn’t have to humiliate them like that, does he?” Ren Yinyin was a little angry. Who said that Buddhism and Taoism are one family? Their rivalry goes far beyond open and covert struggles.
Upon hearing this, Achu and Xiaohai nodded, "That's right, Master, we were also doing a good deed!"
Xiao Hai cried out in pain, "Master, please untie us! It hurts so much!"
Mao Xiaofang took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. You should go find that lama!"
He put down his teacup, flipped the two of them over, with Xiao Hai on the bottom and A Chu on top, lifted A Chu's shirt from behind, and wrote a few small words on it.
The Way lies in discerning right from wrong in your heart!
"Master, what did you write on my back?" Achu felt a sharp pain in her back, but she couldn't scratch it, and it was so uncomfortable.
