I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 402 Heartbeat

Since he couldn't escape, Chang Ningchen sat in the room and recited scriptures with peace of mind. After all, it didn't matter where he recited.

Just as he was reciting the sutra, another sound came from the room, as if a man was singing softly: "After a long drought, the rain comes; in a foreign land, I meet an old friend; on the wedding night, when my name is on the imperial examination..."

These are the four great joys in life. The voice was so ethereal that it seemed to be singing in Chang Ningchen's ears, and it seemed to come from every corner of the room.

"Amitabha! Monks come into the world to spread the Dharma, giving people the opportunity to connect with them and get close to them, allowing people to get close to the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha."

The first and second ones, such as rain after a long drought and meeting an old friend in a foreign land, do not apply to the monk Chang Ningchen.

Not to mention the two wedding nights that followed, when names were on the imperial examinations, monks were not allowed to get married and take the imperial examinations. They were all monks who had seen through the worldly affairs and believed that fame, wealth and power were all passing clouds.

Realizing that his charms were useless to this bald man, his voice turned harsh. He shouted at Chang Ningchen: "A real man should serve his country and his people, and you are in your prime. If you don't serve your country and don't farm, you will be a useless person if you are lazy!"

Oh, this guy is starting to control monks. Chang Ningchen just replied calmly: "Living beings in the world face endless suffering. Only through self-salvation can they escape the sea of suffering. I became a monk to seek the truth of the world. You must have unspeakable pain in your heart, right?"

The whole room fell silent when Chang Ningchen asked this question. Then a man appeared in front of them. He said to Chang Ningchen, "So far, the government has not found the criminal who killed my family. If you want to free us, you must find the criminal first!"

It was obvious that this was a trap. If Chang Ningchen agreed, he would be led by the other party.

Bai Gou looked at Chang Ningchen, only to see Chang Ningchen looking at the man with a strange expression and saying, "Actually, you know who killed your whole family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see the tragic scene of the murder when I entered the house. If my guess is correct, the murderer is a family member!"

The moment these words were spoken, the room suddenly became deserted. The scene flashed by, as if a light switch was constantly turning on and off, more like a poor contact.

The surrounding environment suddenly showed two scenes: neat and tidy and dilapidated. The white dog saw through the fleeting picture that the surroundings were full of dust and cobwebs, which was completely different from the clean and tidy scene they saw at the beginning.

The man suddenly turned into a bloody corpse. It looked like he was stabbed by a sharp weapon, and the front of his clothes was covered in blood. When the room lit up later, the man disappeared.

Chang Ningchen saw the situation around him and knew that the other party was guilty. It was very likely that he was the murderer and was monitoring their every move.

The room remained quiet for a while. There was no one in the house at this time. Chang Ningchen was sitting in the backyard chanting scriptures, and the white dog was guarding his side and listening to the scriptures.

Perhaps because he was annoyed by Chang Ningchen's chanting, something changed in the room in the middle of the night. A young man ran in and shouted to Chang Ningchen: "Master, save me!"

The white dog growled at the young man warily. This guy did not have the same aura as this house. He did not have any hostility, but he was very suspicious.

Soon, there were more footsteps outside the corridor, and the man immediately said, "There are a lot of ghosts in this house! It's so scary! I originally just wanted to come in to steal something, but after entering this house, I can't get out!"

The man ran to Chang Ningchen in fear and told him what he saw and heard in the house.

Originally, he thought the house was too big, so he climbed over the wall to get in and find some valuable things to sell. The man climbed over the wall secretly at night. As soon as he came in, he saw the blue and green lights in the house. After feeling the weirdness of the house, the man wanted to leave.

But the walls were high and slippery, and he couldn't find the door. Unable to find a way out, he had no choice but to sneak in. But there wasn't a single living person in the house! From time to time, there were sounds of people moving around, but there were shadows on the walls!

During the day, the house seemed full of joy, but no one could see him. Once night fell, the wind blew coldly and no one could be seen in the house.

Although people cannot see, the man finds that he can see through shadows. When the door of the room is closed, the shadow will be printed on the window, and he can see that it seems to be a woman who is killing people.

The man didn't know how long he had been searching in the house until he heard the sound of chanting, so he hurried over following the sound.

After hearing the man's words, the white dog looked at Chang Ningchen. It suspected that the murderer was most likely the girl they saw when they entered the house. Could she be the daughter-in-law of this family?

Chang Ningchen looked at the man and said, "If you are afraid, then chant sutras with me!" I am only responsible for fighting monsters, solving cases is beyond my scope.

The man saw that Chang Ningchen was very calm, so he closed the door and sat down to recite along. After calming down, he felt much more at ease.

But the owner of the house was very unhappy. He originally let the man out to interrupt the monk's chanting, but he didn't expect the monk to pull the man to continue chanting, so the lights in the room shook.

The man saw that the doors and windows of the room were closed but the candlelight was flickering, and his heart suddenly began to rise again!

The flickering candlelight caused the shadow to flicker on Chang Ningchen's face. Chang Ningchen continued to recite the scriptures without changing his tone at all.

The man said to Chang Ningchen fearfully, "Master! Master! The candle flame is moving! There's no wind, yet it's moving!"

Chang Ningchen was annoyed by what he said, so he replied: "The candle flame didn't move, the wind didn't move, it was your heart that moved."

After hearing Chang Ningchen's words, the man thought about it and continued to sit down and recite. He followed Chang Ningchen's example and closed his eyes so that the swaying candlelight would not affect him.

This master didn't explain it clearly. What's the point of having a fluttering heart? If you close your eyes, you won't be affected by the candlelight!

After reciting for a while, the man opened his eyes again and found that the room had returned to normal, but when he looked at the door, he found that there was an extra shadow there, and it seemed to be a woman!

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The white dog was barking at the door, as if to remind Chang Ningchen that someone was coming.

The man said to the white dog, "Stop barking. It's not your shadow that's moving, it's your heart."

The man taught the white dog what he was learning on the spot. The white dog gave the man a cold look, and then the door of the room was knocked on.

The knock on the door startled the man, and he quickly said, "Master! Master! This time it's not my heart that's moved! It's the door that's moved!"

Chang Ningchen opened his eyes and looked at the door. At this moment, the owner finally appeared.
