I can see the book of life and death

"Baby tower?"

Zhang Mingtu was stunned. He had never heard of this word.

I am quite unfamiliar with this word, but in the book of life and death, the future brother obviously understands it, and the tone of his writing suddenly becomes heavy.

"No wonder so many people have disappeared without any trace. You usually feed these monsters with the people in the baby tower?"

"Haha, I thought you nobles didn't know at all. The existence like weeds itself will die in the tower. Is there any problem if you take it out as a demon to feed my thousands of descendants?"

"Are there any problems with normal operations?"

The other party did not answer my question, but just sneered. I also felt that my question was a bit too silly.

I have seen the county magistrate’s son disregard human life and hunt down hunters in the mountains. How can there be a normal ecological environment here?

As a normal businessman, it is impossible to build such a large business as a grain ship gang.

Seeing that I was speechless, the leader of the Grain Ship Gang burst into laughter.

"It is said that monsters cannibalize people, which is the most terrifying and terrible thing among human beings.

"But the cannibalism of these wealthy families is much more cruel and violent than the demons. The demons eat them alive, and they eat not only our generation, but also the next generation and the next generation. They will never recover."

"The demon will protect me after eating it. The grain boat gang can travel unimpeded in major rivers. The reef secret passages are all marked for us. The water bandits who ambush us at the bottom of the boat in advance cannot harm us..."

"And the Wang and Li families, as well as all the big families along the way... ha!"

The leader of the Grain Ship Gang sneered and said nothing.

"That's not the reason for you to do these things. The right path will eventually work. How is what you are doing now different from those of those aristocratic families?

"Land annexation, human trafficking, association with demons..."

"It makes sense, but it makes sense now. I couldn't make it back then."

Speaking of this, the leader of the Grain Ship Gang had an inexplicable look on his face.

More than four years ago, Jianyi and Xingguo went through a round of sweeps. Many wealthy gentry families who committed evil acts and preyed on the common people were punished according to law, without any room for maneuver.

The entire Jianyi and Xingguo County officials were purged.

As a local snake in Jianyi, the leader of the Liangchuan Gang knew this well.

In the past, he needed to open up the joints, and the officials in charge of him no longer accepted his money, and they would not block him in key parts at all.

Due to the collapse of Wang and Li's family, business was much less than before, but his income was 20% higher than before.

The matter ends here. Each of us has a strong balance in our hearts, and each of us has our own persistence in our hearts.

The leader of the Liangchuan Gang collects babies abandoned by others in baby towers from various places and throws them into the Gan River to feed the demons.

When there were floods, droughts, floods or bad harvests, he would go to various places to collect people who were about to starve to death, die of old age, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and throw them into the river to feed the demons.

The purpose was to trade with the demons in the river in exchange for the demon's spiritual armor and blood essence. This was why he was born in a poor family and was able to let hundreds of people practice martial arts on a grain boat and raise more than a dozen marrow-washing and blood-exchanging warriors.

At the same time, the demon will protect him as he walks in the Ganjiang River, making the navigation path unobstructed.

I have inexplicable and huge doubts in my heart. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra has stopped, making it difficult to break through.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's intention in the Original Vow Sutra is of course lofty, to dispel obsessions and resolve sufferings for others, and to avenge people's grievances from the underworld.

But there are so many sufferings and tragic things in the world. If we don't change them, we have to change them after we fall into the underworld?

The baby tower, for example, was originally built to accommodate babies who died just after birth or were disabled and had no way to feed them.

Later, poor people everywhere will be unable to feed them because they have no milk or their families are too poor.

The same is true for the people around me. They can't find anyone to support them. When they go to the city, they can't be adopted by wealthy families because their babies are not good-looking enough.

Even if the newborn baby is healthy, it will be thrown into it.

Over the years, a large number of people have died in the Baby Tower.

The world is already a hell, so why go to hell to save ghosts?

I don't understand why it is difficult to practice the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra at the fifth level.

I also went to Jianyi to find a monk to explain my doubts. The monk also shook his head and said nothing. He only said that Buddhism pays attention to this life and also seeks the afterlife.

The Buddhist Bodhisattva is willing to resolve the sufferings of hell, which is already a great wish and ambition. It is said that I have no root of wisdom and it is difficult to understand the loftiness of Buddhism.

I just bowed my head and said nothing, and then went to Jiujiang County to visit Donglin Temple.

Donglin Temple occupies a very large area, with hundreds of temples scattered among the mountains, with carved beams and painted buildings, endless fireworks, and a large number of pilgrims coming and going.

There are also many people who are luxuriously dressed and covered with robes.

Those who are hungry and cold, and those with sallow complexions and skinny muscles seek here for the next life, hoping to be rich and noble in the next life.

Those who are covered in robes and have glowing faces come here to hope that their wealth will rise to the next level, their days will be full of flowers, they will be prosperous, and they will have many children and good fortune.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, there is the area where Donglin Temple is located, where both Buddhism and Taoism are quite prosperous today.

Large sects such as Donglin Temple don't even have to pay taxes.

All the Buddha statues in the temple are gold-plated, and the main Bodhisattvas enshrined are all made of gold.

I heard that some dignitaries came here to pray for Buddha, and it was quite effective, so they made offerings and made golden bodies for the Buddha and Bodhisattva.

The surrounding fields for dozens of miles are almost all under the control of Buddhism, and the fields under his name are roughly estimated to be more than 100,000 acres.

Halfway up the mountain, I stopped climbing.

Donglin Temple cannot solve the doubts in my heart. I know it without going to the temple.

I turned around and went down the mountain.

Walking around Donglin Temple, there is not much difference between this place and the tenant farmers in other places.

I also asked my family to choose another person to inherit the position of Jinyiwei, and he wandered around the world in order to solve the doubts in my heart.

But after many years of walking, I still haven't found a solution. I didn't deliberately collect many obsessions, but more and more obsessions accumulated in my body.

Many places I see before my eyes are like hell. If hell is everywhere, where is the human world?

The answer has not yet come to me. I still act according to my heart. My spiritual practice has reached the late stage of the true essence state. I travel around the world and do justice, but no one dares to look down on me.

All kinds of injustices can be smoothed out, and the loyalty in my heart becomes more and more satisfying.

The more I see, the more confused I feel.

After going around in circles for more than ten years, my heart feels much better, and my cultivation has naturally entered the sixth level of marrow cleansing and blood exchange.

But I know that this is basically the limit. If I don’t answer the doubts in my heart, I basically won’t be able to enter the realm of master.

In the realm of guru, one needs to understand one's mind and see one's true nature. If the doubts in one's mind cannot be answered, how can one break through the guru's path?

I have fully understood the meaning of water and fire, dragon and tiger, but I still have doubts about my nature.

I have visited all the temples in Jiangzhou and they are almost the same.

Doubts are buried in my heart and there is no solution.

However, after going round and round, more than ten years later, I heard the news about Ruihai again.
