Chapter 499 Reincarnated Spirit Child 5
The next morning, just as the sun rose, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu hurriedly arrived at Fuxi Hall.
Their faces were streaked with tears, and they cried all the way, as if they had suffered a huge blow.
Upon seeing Mao Xiaofang, Uncle Niu cried and said, "Master Mao, please find us a piece of land!"
Aunt Niu cried out, "Master Mao, our son suddenly had a terrible stomachache last night. We wanted to rush him to the clinic, but before we could even leave the house, he... he struggled and died!"
Aunt Niu became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, crying so hard she could barely breathe. She kept blaming herself, saying, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! How could I be so stupid? If I had known more about how to take care of children, maybe he wouldn't have died!"
Uncle Niu stood to the side, his face also streaked with tears. He choked out, "Master Mao, what sins have we committed? My son was so young, and he's gone just like that. It's so pitiful!"
Looking at the heartbroken couple before him, Mao Xiaofang couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart.
He sighed and offered words of comfort: "Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, don't be too sad. Please accept this in your grief. Nobody wants this to happen. Maybe it's just fate."
However, just as Mao Xiaofang was comforting Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, Ren Yinyin, standing behind him, suddenly felt that the couple looked somewhat familiar.
She stared at Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, her gaze gradually becoming serious.
Ren Yinyin thought to herself, "Aren't these Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu the same family that the lama visited yesterday?"
She remembered it clearly; the lama had even patted the child's head. How could this be...?
After the couple helped each other out of Fuxi Hall, Ren Yinyin told Mao Xiaofang what she had seen the day before.
"Could we have misjudged him? Is that lama really not a good person?" Mao Xiaofang frowned, sensing that a storm was brewing.
"Master Mao!" Just then, Shu Ning walked in, holding a book in her hand.
"Ah Ning, you're here!" Ah Chu hurriedly went to greet her and asked solicitously, "Have you had breakfast? I'll make you some!"
"Ugh, stop bothering me!" Shu Ning walked around A Chu, went to Mao Xiaofang, opened the book, and pointed to an illustration on it for Mao Xiaofang to see.
"Master Mao, look, doesn't the bird on this look like that strange bird?"
Mao Xiaofang took the book from Shu Ning and examined it carefully. "The spirit bird of the Potala Palace?"
"Can you find a reincarnated child?"
"So Atisha and the other lama were both looking for the reincarnation of the Buddha!" Ren Yinyin looked at the text in the book. "Could it be that the reincarnation they're looking for is in Gantian Town?"
“In that case, it makes sense that Atisha and his group set up schools to teach children to read!” Mao Xiaofang closed the book and said in a deep voice.
"But what's wrong with a reincarnated spirit child? Why keep it a secret from the villagers?" Ren Yinyin asked, puzzled.
“Then you’ll have to ask Lama Atisha!” Mao Xiaofang said, and then walked out of the Fuxi Hall.
"Master, where are you going?" Xiao Hai asked upon seeing this.
"Oh dear, you idiot, you must have gone to find Atisha!" Achu smiled smugly at Aning.
Ah Ning glared at him; anyone could see that!
……
The former ancestral hall is now a school. Atisha seems to have guessed why Mao Xiaofang came here.
“Master Mao, we have no ill intentions, we just don’t want to disturb the villagers’ normal lives!” Atisha said earnestly.
"Can't the villagers know?" Mao Xiaofang continued to press.
Atisha shook his head, "Of course not. Now that Master Mao knows, we will no longer hide it from the villagers. We will tell them our purpose!"
Mao Xiaofang nodded. No matter what, the villagers have the right to know the truth!
……
Before long, the villagers of Gantian Town learned why the lamas had come.
Hexinglou
Villagers would always go to the teahouse to talk about anything.
There are more people here, and the information is more readily available!
"A reincarnated lama?" a villager asked疑惑地问道, "What's that?"
Seeing this, Shu Ning explained, "A reincarnated lama is someone whose soul is reborn as a child after the previous Living Buddha passes away. This child is called a reincarnated lama!"
Because she had read that book before, she had a fairly good understanding of this subject.
"Oh, I see!" the villagers exclaimed in sudden realization.
"Then how do we know who the reincarnated lama is?" someone else asked.
“The lamas will set questions to test these children. If the reincarnated lama can pass all the tests, then he is the reincarnated lama!” Shu Ning continued to explain.
"Is the reincarnation definitely a boy?" someone asked.
"Not necessarily! Both boys and girls can become reincarnated spirit children! Moreover, reincarnated spirit children need to pass a test and awaken their own intelligence in order to remember their past lives!" Shu Ning patiently answered everyone's questions.
"I wonder what the benefits are of being a reincarnated lama!" someone said curiously.
"There are so many benefits!" Shu Ning replied with a smile. "The reincarnated child will become the master of the Potala Palace, that is, the king of Tibet! Moreover, even the child's parents will be supported!"
"Wow, it's that amazing?" Black Rose exclaimed, her face showing disbelief.
“I knew it! My son is definitely extraordinary. He must be a reincarnated lama! Look at him, so smart and quick-witted. He can memorize scriptures at a glance. That’s something no ordinary child can do!”
Some villagers' children are studying at the Lama School. When they think about the benefits of reincarnated lamas, they become more and more excited, as if they can already see the glorious future of their children after they become reincarnated lamas.
"Hmph, don't be ridiculous! My shrimp is the real reincarnated spirit child! He's so much better than your kid!" Black Rose said proudly. She wouldn't admit defeat easily and was determined to let everyone know that her shrimp was the best.
Originally, Black Rose wasn't particularly interested in reincarnated lamas, but when she heard about the many benefits of becoming a reincarnated lama, her opinion immediately changed.
She felt that if Xiaoxiaomi was selected, not only would Xiaoxiaomi be able to make a name for himself, but she herself would also benefit and live a life free from worries about food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Black Rose couldn't help but laugh out loud. Haha, this is simply a win-win situation!
Seeing this, Zhou Sanyuan, not to be outdone, struck a pose as if exercising and said confidently, "I think I might very well be a reincarnated lama too!"
Shu Ning looked at Zhou Sanyuan and shook her head helplessly. "You? Don't joke around. The last Living Buddha only passed away ten years ago!"
“Yes, you can only be reincarnated after you die! You’re so old, how could you possibly be a reincarnated spirit child?” The others chimed in.
"Tch, anything is possible!"
"What do you mean, 'maybe'? You could become young again!" someone mocked.
"Hey, what did you say?" Zhou Sanyuan slammed his hand on the table, ready to confront the person.
Seeing this, Old Zhou quickly pulled his son back, saying, "Everyone's just chatting, what are you doing?"
Si Xi advised her brother from the side, "Don't cause trouble, Uncle Xing will be unhappy!"
Uncle Xing is the owner of Hexinglou Restaurant and is considered one of the wealthy people in Gantian Town.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing. The reincarnated child needs to undergo tests; it's not something we can just decide!" Shu Ning quickly stood up and said when she saw the chaotic scene.
