Chapter 217: 217
Fangzheng looked at Huang Lanlan and said indifferently, "You have committed a heinous sin but still hope for Buddha to bless you with a child? Huang Lanlan, committing sins causes negative karma . Now that you are plagued by negative karma, how do you plan on conceiving? Being unable to conceive is only the beginning . "
When Huang Lanlan heard that, she felt a jolt through her heart . She kept the matter a secret . None in the village knew of it . Even her husband did not know . But Fangzheng's words were full of certainty . There were definitely skeletons in her closet! Huang Lanlan knew that the monk must have known something . . .
Huang Lanlan glared at Fangzheng, "How much do you know about me?"
"If you do not want people to know, don't do it . " He walked to the temple hall, "If you wish to have a child, think carefully about redeeming your sins . This Penniless Monk does not have a secret recipe . The only recipe is merit . "
Huang Lanlan chased up and yelled, "Fangzheng, what do you actually know?"
Fangzheng turned to look at Huang Lanlan, with his Wisdom Eye opened . He could see the negative karma on Huang Lanlan rise . At the same time, Fangzheng felt the Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Guan Yin's powers from the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque behind him . It was different from child-giving powers . Fangzheng realized something as he borrowed the Buddha plaque's power . He looked at the aura filled with bloodlust above Huang Lanlan's head .
It suddenly changed into that of a person's figure, one that was blurry but had extremely clear eyes . It was staring hatefully at Huang Lanlan . Fangzheng knew it was not a ghost or monster . It was just a manifestation of negative karma under the Wisdom Eye .
Fangzheng kept his face blank . "A human life . "
With that said, Huang Lanlan fell to the ground with a thud and could no longer stand up . She believed that Fangzheng had originally only made a passing remark but now she realized that the secret that only she knew had been discovered . Huang Lanlan cried, "It wasn't intentional . . . I didn't mean it . She fell into the water tank that day by herself . It was an accident . "
Fangzheng sighed, "Huang Lanlan, what you say to This Penniless Monk is useless . If you really wish to explain, go to the temple hall and tell it to Bodhisattva . "
Huang Lanlan cried, "Fangzheng, you will not report me to the authorities, right?"
Fangzheng did not say a thing . The heaven's had rules and the human world had laws . He could determine a person's right and wrong but the punishment was not something he would dish out unless necessary . Heaven's punishment had befallen on her, preventing her from conceiving but that was not enough .
Fangzheng entered the temple hall and sat in front of the wooden fish . He pressed his palms together and gave a Buddhist proclamation before he began striking the wooden fish in silence .
When Huang Lanlan heard the wooden fish, she felt her heart palpitate . She looked up at the Bodhisattva plaque and sighed . She walked in and knelt on a mat as she said something silently . Scenes of that fateful day flashed in her mind .
With a thought, Fangzheng saw what was in Huang Lanlan's mind .
Twenty years ago, Huang Lanlan and her good friend, Wei Shuqiao scaled the mountain to pluck wild vegetables . Huang Lanlan had invited Wei Shuqiao with the intention of murder . The reason was simple . Huang Lanlan and her present husband, Jiang Song were childhood sweethearts . She liked him from a young age but Jiang Song was secretly in love with Wei Shuqiao . Wei Shuqiao also gave Jiang Song mixed signals . In addition, the village was choosing a broadcaster . She lost to Wei Shuqiao in a competition . In her jealousy, Huang Lanlan pretended to befriend Wei Shuqiao and went to the mountaintop . She then pushed her down the cliff .
In order to avoid suspicion, Huang Lanlan jumped down as well . However, she had long made preparations . Therefore, she hung on a tree and was uninjured .
This matter caused quite a stir back then . Huang Lanlan had always enjoyed quite a good reputation . In addition, she had nearly died as well, so no one suspected her . Later on, Huang Lanlan and Jiang Song got married but were childless for more than two decades . Huang Lanlan's temper turned more irascible because of her lack of children . From the village beauty to becoming an infamous shrew in the area . Her relationship with Jiang Song thinned as well . She always believed that the breakdown of their relationship was mainly because of their lack of children .
