Chapter 106: Seeing All Living Things, Understanding Compassion
Qianjiagou in Lintong was saved.
Overnight, more than a dozen Taoist priests suddenly appeared and came to cure illnesses, save lives and relieve disasters!
Even as time went by, more and more monks arrived.
They plucked the moonlight and illuminated the village;
He used his magical powers to blow away the snow and melt the ice.
Someone even performed a miraculous healing operation and cured the dying second son of the Liu family.
After a night of wind and snow until dawn, Qianjiagou had changed drastically!
Although the village was still in ruins, hope appeared on the faces of the villagers.
With the help of the monks, they searched for usable household items among the ruins, searched for the remaining property, and prepared for the future;
The women gathered around the iron pots, cooking porridge;
Only the ignorant children were chasing and playing in the snow.
This scene filled the disciples of Dazhuang Palace, who had been busy all night, with joy. However, they finally could not endure the busy night anymore and had to find a place to sit cross-legged and meditate to recover.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Zhan Shifeng suddenly felt something. He opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest standing in front of him, bowing.
"I am Xiang Baisheng, a disciple of the Internet News Department. Can I interview a few of you?"
“What is an interview?”
"I'll ask you a few questions and you can answer them truthfully. However, I will record the video and it may appear on the evening news."
"News Feeds?"
Zhan Shifeng was stunned, and several of his younger fellow apprentices who had just woken up were also surprised.
A few people gathered together and whispered for a while, and finally agreed to the interview.
The interview was very long, and Zhan Shifeng and the others didn't know whether it was because he was too nervous, but he answered haltingly.
When the interview was over and they said goodbye to Yum, the teenagers were immediately upset.
"Brother, did I just perform too badly?"
"It's okay. It won't necessarily be on the news. Don't overthink it. We're not here for the news. According to the weather forecast, there will be rain and snow in the next few days. We have to help Qianjiagou build the house quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Feeling relieved, Zhan Shifeng led his fellow apprentices to once again engage in reconstruction work.
I have to say that the monks' productivity is off the charts.
In the past, it would take ten days or half a month for common people to build houses even if half the village was mobilized.
This group of monks is incredibly efficient.
Coming and going like the wind, they cut down the best wood from the deep mountains and old forests.
With a wave of the Seven-Star Qingguang Sword, the wood became timber and piled up like a mountain.
Then they used their extraordinary strength to insert it into the ground, formed a wooden wall, covered it with beams, put on wooden boards, and pressed it with thatch and mud.
A house is freshly built.
The process is simple and crude, but the quality is hundreds of times better than the previous adobe huts.
In just one day, the affected farmers in Qianjiagou were rescued.
When night fell, most of the monks had already said goodbye and left.
Zhan Shifeng and several others from Dazhuang Palace also left.
We came in the wind and snow;
Return home under the stars.
The mood is completely different.
As several people were on their way, someone suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Oh, it seems to be the hour of the dog."
Everyone paused, looked at each other, and quickly found a shelter on the side of the road to log on to the Internet.
Coincidentally, the news broadcast had just begun and was briefly introducing the day's news.
"When one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid. The snow disaster in Lintong has received preliminary rescue..."
Not long after, the snow disaster in Lintong mentioned by Ouyang Mi made several people look at each other subconsciously, full of excitement.
Tonight's news seemed to be particularly long.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally received the report of the snow disaster in Lintong.
"When one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid. The snow disaster in Lintong attracted attention from all walks of life, and countless Taoist heroes rushed to the disaster relief. Last night, although it snowed heavily, the people of Lintong felt warm in their hearts..." Along with Ouyang Mi's introduction, the news screen switched to the scene of the snow disaster in Lintong.
It can be seen that countless monks are using their magical powers to either save the people or build houses.
Zhan Shifeng and others watched eagerly, but found that the scene was not Qianjiagou, which made them quite disappointed.
As this piece of news was about to pass, a familiar scene made their blood boil suddenly!
"I heard from the villagers that you were the first rescue team to arrive. What motivated you to come here despite the wind and snow?"
In the voice-over, the camera shows seven or eight young Taoists with red noses from the cold, and they may even be Taoist children.
"Master said that as a member of the Xuanmen sect, we should help the world and save people! We saw the news last night and didn't think much about it, so we rushed here directly."
In the picture, Zhan Shifeng appears a little shy, but his eyes are bright, with that light that is unique to a young boy.
The interview ended abruptly here.
Zhan Shifeng and others waited for a long time until the follow-up report on the snow disaster in Lintong came, and then they reacted.
"Is this gone?"
"It should be gone."
“Where’s my interview?”
"How can you broadcast it if you keep stuttering for so long?"
"You don't stutter?!"
"Hey, Senior Brother, this news broadcast seems to be a forced pop-up window. Doesn't this mean that the whole world can see it?"
"Ah? Can it really be seen all over the world? Not just in our county?"
"What are you thinking? This is the Internet, who in the world doesn't know about it? Jiuzhou Video also has recorded broadcasts!"
"Really? I'll go search!"
"The news isn't over yet, where's the recording? It'll be available when it's over."
"Let's go quickly. If the master returns to the palace and doesn't see us, it will be terrible!"
A group of young men, with their hearts surging, were talking loudly and walking at a leisurely pace towards Wuzhuang Palace.
When they returned to Wuzhuang Palace, the group immediately stopped talking and sneaked into the chariot room.
"Squeak!"
The door of the room opened wide, and his whole body suddenly froze.
Then they saw the Palace Master of Wuzhuang, high priests, scripture transmitters, and even masters, all gathered in the chariot room, looking at them with a half-smile on their faces.
"Disciple greets Master, all the uncles and seniors."
Upon seeing this, Zhan Shifeng and others hurriedly bowed.
"Well, he is so disheveled and dusty, where did he go?"
"Disciple...Disciple sympathizes with the people of Lintong who are suffering from the disaster, so I took my fellow apprentices down the mountain to help with the disaster relief. I beg you to forgive me, uncle!"
Zhan Shifeng didn't dare to lie, and quickly took the blame on himself.
"Junior brother, you have taught a good disciple! Even at this time, you still know how to protect your junior brother!"
Amidst the loud praise, Zhan Shifeng looked up and saw that his master could no longer hold back his expression and his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"Seeing all living things, you will understand compassion. Seeing yourself, you will know the way home. I have watched the news broadcast. Your hearts are as clear as water when you come into the world to save people. I am very pleased. Good, good, good!"
It was not until this moment that Zhan Shifeng and the other Taoist boys suddenly realized what was going on.
An indescribable emotion surged in my heart.
They just acted impulsively out of excitement when they saw the news, but they didn't expect to receive such praise afterwards, which was really a pleasant surprise.
……
At the same time, after playing the second news broadcast, Ouyang Mi fell into deep thought as he looked at the massive amount of videos in his hands that could not be edited into the news.
Gu Zhenzai was right. The significance of the News Broadcast was not just about the competition for incense.
Maybe she could do something.
