Lishan’s old mother obviously heard the profound meaning of the words of the Great Holy Monastery, but she pretended not to know, and actually started to cry softly: "The young elder is also a person who hurts people with his words. He used loud and indiscriminate words to scare me, a woman." ...How do you know my family is distressed?”
She seemed to be waiting for someone to ask what happened, but none of the five masters and disciples responded to her.
Bajie seemed to be opening his mouth to speak, but it could be seen that the master and senior brother were in front of him, but they did not dare to speak after all.
Seeing that Fahai was about to turn around again, she walked a few steps quickly, complaining as she walked: "Several elders don't know that there are more than 300 hectares of paddy fields, more than 300 hectares of dry fields, and more than 300 hectares of fruit trees in the mountain farm; there are yellow buffaloes. There are more than a thousand, including groups of mules and horses, and countless pigs and sheep. There are sixty or seventy pastures in Zhuangbao, southeast, northwest. The family has rice that has not been used for eighty-nine years, and silk that cannot be worn for ten years; there are things that cannot be used in life. Gold and silver..."
But these words made the five masters and disciples feel uncomfortable.
Are you complaining?
Are you really not showing off?
The Great Sage was about to retort and expose her changes, so no one should stop pretending...but he saw the master walking forward, as if he wanted to "fight" with Mrs. Jia. He took a step back and stood in front of the master, just in case one of the two became angry, so he could stop Mrs. Jia.
"Amitabha."
Fahai is not a golden Buddha statue that is kept in a high cabinet and unaware of the sufferings of the world. Although he walks around the world and kills demons, he also sees the worldly right and wrong. However, at that time, Fahai mostly watched with cold eyes and rarely took action.
Now that I am truly down to earth and heading west step by step, I realize that I was ignorant back then.
Since it is to save all sentient beings, why should we blame the evil fate in the past life?
Since it is to save all sentient beings, why not allow good people to receive blessings in this life?
Since we are trying to save all sentient beings, what kind of money do we charge from incense sticks?
Although Fa Hai didn't know which god and Buddha had set up a battle here to test the depth of his master and disciple, how could he be someone who could be manipulated by others?
If he is blocked by words here, how can he still go up to Lingshan Mountain?
Fahai didn't wait for his mother to finish what he said, and then said: "Since the female donor said this, please forgive me for speaking out. The so-called wealth makes people jealous. The female donor has such a huge family fortune, but there is no parent to look after it. The four mother and daughter are strong on their own, and outsiders only say that women and children can be deceived... Is this the reason why the female donor just said, 'Once we leave, we will take the lives of your mother and daughter'?"
The mother should have said this, but she didn't want Fahai to speak first. Her momentum was temporarily frustrated.
She didn't quite understand why Tang Sanzang took the initiative to point it out, so she followed what the other party said: "It's true what the elder said. Unfortunately, my three daughters and I are all women. How can we bear such a family fortune? We usually only live in this way for a long time." Being envied by others, who knows when he will be harmed... Now that he saw that the elders are all strong men, he suddenly thought of recruiting a son-in-law... But unexpectedly, because of the young woman's speechless words, he collided with her. Elder, it’s really a sin.”
"Now that the elders are aware of my family's difficulties, can they really bear to watch my family being plotted by others in the future, leading to the destruction of our family? Then my mother and daughter will end up on the streets, with no place to live and no clothes to wear... woo woo Wu——Elder, everyone said that my family is merciful, and I also ask the elders to be kind and save me. If the elders and the others recruit my family, firstly, they will avoid the hardship of going to the West, and they can be at ease and enjoy the glory; secondly, He even saved my whole family, isn’t this a great merit?”
The three peeping Bodhisattvas held their breath and said in their hearts: My mother deserves to be a mother. Her words were sincere and her unintentional tenderness was even more pitiful.
Master Guanyin stabilized his mind and sighed to himself: If he hadn't known the true situation here, he might have shown compassion.
What's more, this time it is no longer about beauty and wealth, but also about Buddhist compassion. It is really because of wealth and beauty that you are tempted, and there is a high-sounding explanation.
Even the three Bodhisattvas felt troubled after hearing this, but they didn't know how the golden cicada would resolve it.
The Great Sage was scratching his head when he heard this. There are martial arts moves, and literary fights have their own methods. This time Mrs. Jia has such a problem, it is clear that she is making things difficult for others.
He wished he could hit her with a stick and make her show her true colors.
Do others dare to seize your family's property?
I'm afraid I'm going to die.
The Great Sage was already prepared. Whenever he saw the Master showing the slightest hint of sadness, he would use the golden hoop to smash the fish to death.
He looked at his master's expression, but his master didn't panic and responded calmly: "Amitabha, what the female donor said is wrong."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is that the donor does not know our good and evil, the difference is that the donor does not know the source of sin."
"What do you mean by this?"
Fahai said: "Madam only talks about recruiting wives, regardless of character. If we are that mountain monster monk, and we are trying to seize Madam's huge family property, wouldn't it be tempting for Madam to invite wolves into the house?"
Mrs. Jia said, "Just because the elder said this, it proves that the elder is kind."
"We, master and disciple, are bent on heading west. If Madam forces us to stay here, our practice will be ruined and our state of mind will be ruined. It is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, and there is great wealth in front of them. With my master and disciple at our fingertips... Madam, how do you know that we won't have such unjust intentions?" Fahai said again: "Besides, Madam used money, silk and beauty to seduce me to ruin my practice... If we take away Madam's family wealth because of this, wouldn't it be right? The cycle of cause and effect leads to unfavorable retribution.”
"The Master only talks nonsense, how can he use this matter that has not yet happened to threaten him?"
"Amitabha." Fahai said with a smile: "Since Madam knows that you can't use things that haven't happened yet to threaten you, how can you use the words of ruining the family to force the poor monk to stay?"
"You..." The old mother was at a loss for words. The two sides were talking very fast. She didn't check for a while, but she fell into the monk's words.
She was not angry, but nodded secretly. She was just as calm and thoughtful as she should have been on her way westward, and was not as pedantic and dull as she had imagined. She was also very satisfied... She glanced at the embroidery needle and Holding the stone monkey in the palm of his hand, he is always ready to use force to break through the barrier. He said in his heart: Although he is a little impulsive, his filial piety is commendable... Learn more from your master, and you will benefit from it.
Since the master is a responsible person, even if his disciples have some minor problems, it doesn't matter.
Just by looking at Tang Sanzang's actions, one can tell that he will not allow his disciples to let things go their own way. This Bajie has never really made a fool of himself until now, and it is probably Sanzang's fault.
Thinking of this, my mother suddenly felt that her interest dropped sharply.
However, this Master Tripitaka is a wonderful monk, and he successfully attracted the attention of my mother, "If this is the case, may I ask Master how to solve the disaster in my family?"
She didn't mean to make things difficult this time, she just wanted to really ask for a clear answer:
"Since money can cause trouble, it is better to lose money and avoid disaster..." Although Fahai didn't know the change in his mother's mood, he could also detect the slight change in his mother's attitude, which seemed to be less aggressive and more easy-going.
However, he was still a little unsure, and he wanted to know who the saint was that was making trouble for him again, so he deliberately tried to test it: "The female donor might as well use this family property to worship the Buddhas in Lingshan and pay homage day and night. This will also kill two birds with one stone. If When disaster strikes, the Buddhas in Lingshan must have been worshiped by the female benefactor, so they should protect them."
The great sage also clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful, wonderful, wouldn't it be more reliable for the female benefactor to ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to appear and bless your family than to ask for a son-in-law like me and other ignorant mountain monks?"
