Chapter 1643 Karma and Inner Demon

"You said these pearls were given to you by a monster. What happened?" Li Gongfu asked nervously.

Jiang Hao had already thought of his words before coming.

"Half a month ago, I went to see the Qianjiang tide with my friends. The tide came over and set off a wave. A carp was photographed ashore. I picked up the fish when I saw it. My friend laughed and said it was a delicious food delivered to my door and asked me to take it home. I didn’t agree to stew it and just put the carp back into the river.”

"But I never thought that an old man came into my dream yesterday. The old man said that he was the carp. He was washed up by the waves that day to save his life. I saved his life. He thanked me for sending me the property, etc. When I woke up, there was this bag of pearls on my bedside.”

Li Gongfu was shocked when he heard this.

"The fish demon, entrusting you with dreams, thanking you, and giving you treasures."

"I've heard of magical things before. I've seen a few weird things as a head hunter, but I've never really come into contact with monsters. I didn't expect that Hanwen would have such a strange encounter."

Jiang Hao said: "Brother-in-law, you are familiar with things on the street. I was afraid of being cheated, so I asked my brother-in-law to help me sell these pearls for money."

Being praised by his brother-in-law, Li Gongfu felt slightly proud and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know the shopkeeper of Ruixiang Tower. He didn't dare to cheat me after selling these pearls."

"But these pearls should be sold for a lot of money. What does Hanwen plan to use the money for?" Li Gongfu asked.

"I already have a plan in mind. I plan to buy a house first, which can be considered as a place to live. I am now studying medicine and want to open a medical clinic in the future. I also want my brother-in-law to help me find a store suitable for opening a medical clinic." Jiang Hao said.

Li Gongfu nodded happily, "Han Wen's plans are very pragmatic. You really need a house to settle down in. You are already a grown man. Having a house will give you a wife. I will find a matchmaker to arrange it later."

"As for opening a medical clinic, it's also very good. I'll help you find the front office. I'm very familiar with the people in the dental clinic. No one dares to lie to me. I will always find the right one for you." Li Gongfu promised, patting his chest. .

He is a head catcher, and he is most familiar with things on the street. No one on the street, such as cars, boats, shops, footwear, etc., dares to cheat him casually.

Jiang Hao returned to the academy and continued to be his teacher. Li Gongfu put the pearl in his arms, spoke to his detectives, and soon came to Ruixiang Building, the largest jewelry building in Qiantang.

When the shopkeeper saw Li Gongfu coming in, he smiled and said hello, "Captain Li, why are you free to come to Ruixiang Building today? Is there some announcement from the officials?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, this is a private matter." Li Gongfu said.

"Private matter? Do you want to buy jewelry and hairpins for your wife? If Mr. Li buys it, I will give you the cost price." Shopkeeper Liu said.

"It's said inside," Li Gongfu said.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't know why, so he invited Li Gongfu to the back room. After the curtain fell, Li Gongfu dug in his arms and took out a pearl the size of a peanut. It was white and round, of first-class quality, and handed it to shopkeeper Liu.

Li Gongfu lives in the secular world and is familiar with people's hearts. He will not be like Jiang Hao, who will take out a bag of pearls as soon as he comes up. That would be too eye-catching.

Shopkeeper Liu took it, looked at the pearl, and praised: "This pearl is of good quality. It is a first-grade river pearl, weighing three cents. It should be worth 20 taels."

Li Gongfu took out another bigger one from his pocket, and shopkeeper Liu quickly took it, "This one is better, weighing about four cents, and can be sold for about 50 taels."

"What about this one?" Li Gongfu took out a finger-sized one.

"Oh, this one weighs at least 5 cents and should be sold for 200 taels."

Li Gongfu was moved in his heart. He calculated the price of the house and the storefront, and then touched his arms. Shopkeeper Liu looked at him, "Do you think you still have some?"

"certainly."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of pearls. There were about a dozen pearls, the largest weighing only 6 cents. "They are all here. Will Ruixiang Tower take them?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the pearls, then at Li Gongfu, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Li, where did you get these pearls?"

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "Why, I'm afraid these things are not easy to come by. It doesn't hurt to tell you. This is indeed not mine. It is the treasure of my wife's family."

"My brother-in-law is quite old and has not yet gotten married. Seeing that her sister was anxious, she took out these treasures handed down from her ancestors and planned to sell them to Hanwen to buy a house so that she could have a place to live in the future." Li Gongfu was very casual. said.

"I didn't expect that the Xu family still has these treasures?" Shopkeeper Liu said.

"Who doesn't have enough money to save their lives?" Li Gongfu said.

"That's right." Shopkeeper Liu did not delve into this matter.

All the pearls were arranged, weighed and measured, and finally the price was calculated. A total of eighteen pearls were sold for 2,760 taels of silver. Among them, the price of the 6-cent pearl was 350 taels.

In ancient times, it was said that Wan Guan's family was already quite wealthy. The price of good land outside Hangzhou was only more than ten taels of silver per acre. This amount of money was enough to buy two hundred acres of land.

This money is only enough to buy a house and land.

The silver was too heavy to carry. Ruixiang Building had its own silver building, so it started directly with the banknotes. Li Gongfu left with the banknotes. It was already dark, the surrounding shops were lit up, people were coming and going on the street, and the trading shops were prosperous. On the contrary, More lively than during the day.

He did not go back to the Yamen, but came to the academy to find Jiang Hao. He entered Jiang Hao's room. Jiang Hao was reading under the lamp. Li Gongfu looked at the simple room and said, "The conditions here are too simple. It is not a place to live for a long time. You don't want to live here for a long time." Really need a house.”

"Brother-in-law, how is the matter?" Jiang Hao put down the book and asked.

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "With your brother-in-law, there is nothing that can't be done." He took out the cloth bag containing pearls from his arms.

Approaching Jiang Hao, he whispered: "I only sold part of it, and it was still the small ones. You, you are too careless in doing things. Those pearls as big as longan are considered treasures. Selling them casually will easily arouse people's suspicion."

"The rest are all here. They are all large pearls with a score of six or more. These are treasures that can be passed down to the family. You should keep them alive and sell them later if you are really short of money."

"By the way, these are the banknotes from Ruixianglou. There are 2,760 taels in total, twenty-seven of 100 taels and one of 60 taels. It's very convenient to take them as you go." He put a stack of banknotes on the table. .

"Tomorrow, I will go show you the house and its appearance. It can't be too shabby. It needs a house with three entrances. The house price in Hangzhou is too expensive. A house with three entrances is estimated to cost about 600 yuan. As for The facade house you want, if you want the kind with a backyard, is estimated to cost 1,500 guan, which is 2,100 guan. You will have to live in the future, and you need to leave some money for expenses, so don’t look at what you have now. These two thousand, seven hundred taels of silver are not something to be spent lavishly.”

Li Gongfu told Jiang Hao one by one, with care and advice in his words. Jiang Hao could tell that Li Gongfu really cared about him.

"Okay brother-in-law, I won't spend money randomly." Jiang Hao said.

the next day,

Li Gongfu took people out for patrol and stopped by Yahang. Everyone in Yahang knew Li Gongfu, and they all bowed to say hello and shouted that Capt. Li was here.

Li Gongfu asked an acquaintance to help find a suitable house, and he would probably find something soon.

Jiang Hao bought a house and land in Hangzhou and lived a comfortable life.

But some people are in dire straits right now.

That day, Fahai caught the spider spirit and suppressed it under the pavilion. Before leaving, he took the spider spirit's prayer beads. However, the beads still had power after leaving the spider spirit. They contained Buddhist thought power and were very pure.

Fahai frowned slightly while chanting Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Is what the spider demon said true? He has been under the shadow of the Bodhisattva and has practiced Buddhism successfully. Can the demon also achieve Buddhism?"

"Will not!"

"A demon is a demon, how can he become a Buddha?"

Fa Hai does not believe that demons can become Buddhas because this would subvert his ideas.

A look of determination flashed across his face.

Continuing to travel around, slaying demons and preaching Buddhism along the way, he came to a mountainous area one day, and suddenly a violent storm hit, and Fahai felt a strong evil spirit.

"It's evil, stop it!"

He flew into a bamboo forest.

The wind was strong, the bamboo branches were swaying wildly, and the rain was falling.

"The mighty heavenly dragon, the World Honored Ksitigarbha, the Prajna Buddhas, the Prajna Baba! Open your Dharma eyes and see how you hide."

I saw two huge snake demons entrenched above the bamboo forest, one green and one white. Each body was four to five meters thick and thirty to forty feet long. They were extremely huge. The scales of the two snakes were as clear as glass, and their eyes were green. It's green, but the white snake's eyes are red.

When Fahai saw that they were two snake monsters, he immediately prepared to use the method to collect these two monsters.

suddenly,

He heard a groan of pain.

"Ah~~ah~!"

Fahai paused, looked over there, and found a beautiful village woman with naked body lying on the ground, her belly was obviously bulging.

"Woman, are you about to give birth?"

Fahai frowned, looking at the woman and then at the two snakes circling above the bamboo forest. The two snakes were flying and circling above the bamboo forest, blocking the wind and rain with their bodies.

"It turns out they are doing good things."

"Can demons also do good things?"

Fahai looked at the situation in front of him blankly.

at this time,

The village woman let out another cry of pain, and then there was a cry of a baby. The village woman gave birth to a child. In the wind and rain, the child cried. The woman held the child in her arms and stuffed the milk into the child's mouth.

The raindrops washed over the woman's body.

Fahai has been practicing in Jinshan Temple since he was a child. Although Buddhism is profound, his mind is pure. When he saw a woman's body for the first time, his heart immediately trembled.

At this moment, the woman's body rushed into his mind.

"Amitabha, the most important thing in Buddhism is sexual precepts."

Fahai turned around immediately.

Although his body left, the body of the beautiful village woman kept circling in his mind. When Fa Hai came out of the bamboo forest, he felt that something was wrong with him.

He opened his eyes suddenly and said, "The mighty heavenly dragon, all the Buddhas are compassionate, and I, the Buddha, are one."

The Buddhist magic power in his body forced him to expel the thoughts in his mind, and he strode out of the bamboo forest.

Soaring into the air, we quickly returned to Jinshan Temple.

Fahai practiced meditation in the main hall of the Buddhist temple. He wanted to completely eliminate distracting thoughts in his mind and return to his previous pure state. However, he felt unbearably hot all over his body and could not settle down. In a daze, the body of the beautiful village woman appeared in his mind again.

A drop of sweat rolled down Fahai's neck.

At this moment, his mind was full of distracting thoughts and all kinds of chaos. There was a flaw in the Buddha's heart, the invasion of demons from outside the realm, and Fahai fell into his own inner demons.

The body is burning like fire.

He stood up suddenly.

"Boom~!"

The futon he had just made suddenly burned in the fire of karma and turned into ashes in an instant.

"This is the karma of my inner demon!"

Fahai looked at the burning futon and gritted his teeth.

"I have magical power that reaches the heavens. Small little evil spirits, I suppress them with my magical power. David Tianlong, Prajna Buddhas, World Honored Ksitigarbha, my Buddha is compassionate."

"The Tathagatas of the ten directions who have lustful eyes and lustful eyes have the same name as the fire of desire. When a Bodhisattva sees desire, he is like avoiding a pit of fire. If he does not stop sexual intercourse and practices meditation, it is like steaming sand and stones and trying to turn them into rice. After hundreds of thousands of kalpas, it is only called hot sand."

"You practice Samadhi to get out of the dust. If you don't get rid of lust, you can't get out of the dust. Even if you have great wisdom and meditation, if you don't stop lusting, you will fall into the devil's way. The upper-grade demon king, the middle-grade demon people, the lower-grade demon women, all these demons also have followers, and each of them claims to have achieved the supreme way."

Fahai's dull voice echoed in the dark Jinshan Temple Hall.
