Chapter 219: True and False Earthquakes
After work, police officer Zhou Hao was still pondering the incredible things he saw today. Sitting on the sofa, he was a little dazed.
Until the door was opened, a woman pushed the door open and turned on her slippers and saw that it was dark inside the house. She turned on the lights and was a little dissatisfied: "I've worked overtime again, and I've worked overtime every day these days..."
After changing into slippers, the woman walked into the living room and saw Zhou Hao in a daze on the sofa, frowned: "What's wrong with you? You don't turn on the lights, just stare blankly here?"
When Zhou Hao saw the woman, he came to his senses and squeezed a smile on his face: "Are you off work? I'm thinking about some work."
The woman was helpless, and her husband never talked about work at home. Looking at Zhou Hao's tired face, she felt a little distressed and angry: "You're exhausted working overtime these days, wait, I'll go cook."
"Huiqin, wait first..."
Zhou Hao stood up and looked at his wife. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. After three years of marriage, Zhou Hao felt a lot of shame to his wife. He pressed Zhou Huiqin on the sofa, and Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I will cook tonight."
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Zhou Huiqin instinctively felt that her husband was thinking. She nodded without asking any more questions. Zhou Huiqin works in a state-owned enterprise and sometimes works overtime, just like today, she is very late when she gets home. She stays on the sofa and turns on the TV to watch.
Thinking of the rumors about earthquakes in the company today, Zhou Huiqin subconsciously switched the TV channel to Wengu local station. Unfortunately, there were not many news on small local TV stations, and there were no news about earthquakes.
“It’s time to eat…”
While watching TV bored, Zhou Hao shouted in the restaurant.
The dish is very simple, but Zhou Huiqin is very satisfied.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Hao frowned and sighed: "You've heard the rumors."
"Is there really an earthquake?"
Zhou Huiqin's heart tightened. Zhou Hao was talking about rumors, not rumors. This was a big difference. As a law enforcement officer, it should be said that it was rumors at this time. Feeling Zhou Hao's difference, Zhou Huiqin raised her head and saw Zhou Hao's expression a little strange.
"I don't know if there is an earthquake. It's just that when I encounter something today, I still feel confused, or the ups and downs in my heart are difficult to calm down." Zhou Hao's face changed slightly: "Huiqin, do you think there are really gods in the world?"
Zhou Huiqin was stunned. Zhou Hao's mood fluctuations today are a bit big. Zhou Hao, who has always been tough, has always been macho and rarely has such confusion. He pondered slightly, Zhou Huiqin said: "I don't know whether there are gods or immortals, nor do I know whether gods or immortals exist. What I know is that gods exist in ancient myths, novels, TV dramas, and fantasy. In reality, worshiping Buddha but not seeing Buddha, worshiping gods but not seeing gods, and no one has ever seen gods... However, there may be some people with magical abilities in reality."
Zhou Hao smiled bitterly: "I have experienced some incredible things today..."
Zhou Hao, who rarely mentioned work, said in his original form Zhang Daoran, who had been experiencing today in the east of Wengu County: "In that magical world, I have seen your hard work and it is not easy to see you."
Zhou Huiqin smiled knowingly, and then she understood why her husband was so considerate today.
"In the end, when the captain wanted to capture these two Taoist priests, the two Taoist priests took one step to the foot of the mountain, and then took a few more steps and disappeared." Zhou Hao was a little dazed: "This is exactly like a god. We have one of the companions of these two Taoist priests. I think maybe... the words of the captured Taoist priest are somewhat credible!"
"It's very dangerous for you to have this kind of thought..." Zhou Huiqin frowned: "Just talk at home, just talk outside, it's not good for your development."
"Rumors are everywhere, and the entire Wengu County has almost spread all over the past few days. Although everyone in the bureau says it is a rumor, it is illegal to spread the rumor. I can see that many colleagues have believed it." Zhou Hao glanced at Zhou Huiqin: "Your company has spread all over it, how many people believe it?"
"Everyone says this is a rumor, and I don't know how many people believe it. It can be seen that many people don't care. At three o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, it really doesn't work, so let's go downstairs and find an empty place. If an earthquake really happens, it's considered to have escaped a disaster. If there is no earthquake, it's just like getting up early and practicing in the morning."
Zhou Huimin breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the elderly at home live in the countryside, so they should not be affected. As for other people, friends around you, if you can persuade them, it is their business to listen to them or not. But it is best not to tell what you have experienced, so as not to be unfavorable to you."
......
This kind of thing happened to Zhou Hao's family in many places in Wengu County. Some people were half-believing and half-doubted, and most of them chose not to believe it. Some people were ready to go to an empty place in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.
And in the east of Wengu County, it is still the same hillside. Zhang Daoran sat cross-legged on the hillside, while Hengkong stood on the hillside, looking at the brightly lit county town, and smiled: "When I Xiu makes such a fuss, fellow Taoist will fuel the fire again, this great disaster may reduce a lot of casualties."
"Those who believe do not doubt, those who doubt do not believe. I have tried my best, and I have paid a great price to get the result back." Zhang Daoran smiled bitterly: "After this incident, I can understand why the fate of a cultivation is so strange. This great disaster is the main reason for the true insulated immortal path."
"The fate has been determined. If I don't accept disciples, I won't know about this. It has already evolved a few months ago. I saved me and indirectly let me enter the calamity, completely cutting off my immortal connection. It's just that I can live long, but I don't have the chance to practice Taoism without fate." Zhang Daoran's face was gloomy and looked up at the sky of the society: "Number of days, number of days..."
Hengkong was shocked, and he could hear Zhang Daoran's emotional fluctuations at this time, and he felt a little unstable in the Taoist heart. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Daoran suddenly smiled: "Fellow Taoist does not need to persuade me. I and fellow Taoist are also a kind of experience of Taoist heart, and it is considered a magic test. Now it is just the beginning, and I can't imagine that when I see with my own eyes, thousands of people are buried in ruins, can I survive this magic test..."
Always empty, speechless, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?
A practitioner is also a human being, not a stern heart. He can be used to life and death, understand the original intention of life and death, and see thousands of people dying in disasters, and it is difficult to be indifferent to the powerlessness and the number of days that cannot be violated.
"The only one who can truly ignore life and death is the rules, rules, Tao, or immortals." Hengkong sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Daoran, sighing: "I and fellow Taoists are just ants on the road."
"Some people enter the Tao with their killing, some people achieve the Tao with their merits, some people enter the Tao with goodness, and some people achieve the Tao with their laws. Killing is not desirable, and murderous aura confuses their minds and requires a killing heart. Since ancient times, few people have been able to enter the Tao with this. Merits enter the Tao, but merit is difficult, and it is difficult. It is perhaps the easiest and very difficult to enter the Tao with goodness. In the "Taishang Ganying Chapter" says that if one of the 1,033 goodness can be established, the flesh will rot and the soul will become an immortal. If a person's heart changes, who can persevere in doing good deeds and accumulate virtue? And what are the standards for doing good deeds and accumulate virtues? If one of the 1,300 good deeds, one can become an immortal. Compared with the law of entering the Tao, it is much easier, but it is the most undefined method." Zhang Daoran's face changed a moment: "Three thousand great ways can achieve enlightenment, how difficult is it to achieve enlightenment?"
"So, immortals are just a definition. The path to becoming an immortal is different. You can't just say that immortals can ignore the common people." Zhang Daoran looked into the distance and murmured: "For example, I said that the number of days cannot be violated, and the great way cannot be reversed. I should follow that glimmer of vitality and come here under the guidance of the heart of Tao."
"Fellow Taoist, I'll be giving a new place tomorrow?" Hengkong was a little worried: "The law enforcement officers already know here, and I think there will be someone waiting for the rabbit tomorrow."
"They won't come!" Zhang Daoran said with certainty.
Hengkong instantly realized: "I understand, I understand."
