The monk smiled and said, do you hear it? The black tiger guarding the gate in our temple seems to be answering you, yes! right! right!
This black dog was very humane. He immediately turned around and barked three times at the monk. Chang Hao said, Master, the black tiger is also answering you, it says you are right. The monk laughed loudly, and Chang Hao cried more and more sadly.
At this moment, the mountain god and the tree god came out of the temple one after another after listening to a Buddhist scripture. Seeing Chang Hao reaching out to pet the black dog, they started talking. The woman and the black dog used to have a mother-child relationship, so they met each other. Extremely affectionate. He was a human before, so why did he die and be reincarnated as a dog? That's because the man named Yao Heihu committed too many sins during his lifetime, was fond of eating dog meat, and had killed dogs, so he was reincarnated as a dog after his death to repay the old debt of killing dogs and eating meat.
I still don’t understand. People usually drink God Meng Po’s soul-forgetting soup on the eve of reincarnation after death and forget everything that happened in life. How come this dog transformed from a human still remembers the events of his previous life? , can you clearly recognize your mother from the previous life?
Does this need an explanation? Yao Heihu fell from the human realm to the animal realm. Generally, there is no need to drink the forget-the-hundred soup. If a person is reincarnated as a human, then he must drink the forget-the-hundred soup. Otherwise, the person who is born will remember the events of the previous life, recognize the parents and relatives of the previous life, and the relationships established in the previous life. Various social relationships, including grievances and resentments, will naturally cause many troubles and bring many disadvantages to oneself, others and things.
There is a big difference between people turning into beasts after death. Even if the beasts who did not drink the soul-forgetting soup still remember the events of the previous life, nothing will happen. First, even if the beasts understand in their hearts, they are all mute and cannot speak human language. ; Second, animals are controlled by humans, and humans cannot treat animals as humans.
Generally speaking, due to various reasons in the past life of an animal, no matter how kind it is to people or how humane it is, it cannot change the established status quo that it is an animal. So in general, it doesn't matter whether a person's soul is reincarnated into an animal or not.
Of course Heihu didn't know what the mountain god and the tree god were talking about, and he didn't need to take it into account. However, Chang Hao came down from the mountain and let out the news, saying that the black dog guarding the gate of the mountain temple was the reincarnation of her son Yao Heihu. Also called Black Tiger, many people nearby go up the mountain to watch the fun and wonders.
When a stranger comes, the black tiger is casual and indifferent, and still squats in front of the mountain gate to guard the temple. If an acquaintance from his lifetime comes, it will hide in the nook and corner of the temple as if it is afraid of being ugly, and let the acquaintance leave before coming out.
A few days after Chang Hao left the mountain temple, he thought about Black Tiger again. Unable to hold on any longer, I went to visit it again, and put four buns in the basket, covered with floral towels, intending to give them to Black Tiger to eat. But when she came to the temple gate, she didn't see the black dog wagging its tail to greet her like last time. She stood there for a while, hoping that it would smell her scent and suddenly come out from nowhere, still sticking out its soft tongue to lick her. fingers and make out with her.
Unexpectedly, he never came out. Chang Hao combed his gray hair, looked around, and called out to the black tiger at the top of his lungs. He also went into the temple to search and asked a monk who was sweeping the courtyard where the black dog had gone.
The monk said, "Isn't it at the gate of the temple?" Chang Hao said, no. I stood at the temple gate for a long time and didn't see it. The monk suspected that Black Tiger might have been taken down the mountain by the elders and could only return in the afternoon or evening.
Chang Hao can definitely say that I will come back in the afternoon. The monk stopped the sweeping broom and looked at Chang Hao with a haggard face and gray hair strangely. He said to the old donor, the black tiger is the watchdog in our temple. Why are you looking for it? Chang Hao didn't want to tell the reason why he was looking for the black dog, so he just took off the floral towel covering the mouth of the basket, deliberately letting the monk see the four exposed buns, and then said, "I want to give it some food."
Oh, the donor is not bad. After the monk said it in a praising tone, he changed the topic, but, donor, let me ask you, how can you give such delicious buns to dogs?
Master, how do you know? There is meat filling in these buns, you can't eat them. Chang Hao prevaricates, picks up the basket and leaves.
Yes, we monks can only eat fast. The monk also wanted to say, couldn't you give us some steamed buns without meat fillings for us monks to eat? But Chang Hao had already walked away, so he didn't bother to speak, picked up the broom and continued to clean the courtyard.
Chang Hao did not go back from the original road, but took another road down the mountain. She didn't know why she was like this. Chang Hao approached a mountain col and suddenly smelled the aroma of meat. She looked up and saw a row of low houses in the forest over there. She continued walking and found a ladder on the side wall of the low house with a ladder hanging on it. Dog skin, oily side with blood stains.
She suddenly became alert. A dog had been killed and skinned, and the smell of meat was cooking in the house. Where is the dog? She walked around to the other side of the wooden ladder and happened to see that the fur of the dog's skin was black. Then she looked carefully at the head and recognized that the skin was peeled off from a black tiger.
Chang Hao felt sad for a while, and stood at the foot of the wooden ladder hanging with dog skins as if in silence. She suddenly took out the four meat buns from the basket and placed them below as a sign of sacrifice to the dead soul of the black tiger.
At this moment, she was muttering indignantly: Why did the people in the house kill the black tiger who was guarding the gate of the mountain temple? Chang Hao didn't understand and planned to go into the house and ask.
When I got to the door, I heard a group of people eating dog meat in the room. You said something and I said something. He said in a rough voice that dog meat is delicious. If the chat with a high-pitched voice is not delicious, will the greedy monk take the risk of breaking his precepts and bring this dog who guards the temple gate?
He replied in a thin voice, saying that I am a greedy monk and you are more greedy than me. He said with a loud voice and laughter, "Mr. Greedy, we are indeed greedy. We are greedy donors, okay?"
There was a moment of silence, then a loud voice continued, "I want to ask Monk Greedy, how did you kill this black dog?" He replied in a soft voice, "I took a risk. If I say it, please don't spread it outside the world, let alone spread it to the temple. If it spreads to the temple, the abbot will not only lose his temper, but also kick me out of the temple."
He said in a rough voice, "If you drive out of the temple, you will drive out of the temple. If you sit idle and meditate for many years, when will you be able to achieve positive results?" Why not return to the secular world as soon as possible and drink a big bowl of wine with us every day and eat a big piece of meat.
If I say it in a thin voice, people in the world will laugh at me for not having the concentration and perseverance to practice. The shrill voice said, you have already broken the precept, what do you still care about? As long as we don't laugh at you.
You have a loud voice and want to take advantage of it. Greedy monk, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, how did you kill that dog? I said in a thin voice that this is how I died. Today, while the abbot in the temple went down to perform some rituals, I bought a pill of "Three-Step Pour" with some small money I got from the last alms trip, applied it with sesame oil, and quietly gave it to the temple guard. When the black dog at the door ate it, the effects of the medicine took effect immediately. It took three shaky steps and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and fell into mourning after a while. I carried it here in a sack, unknowingly...
When Chang Hao heard this, he wanted to go into the room and scold the greedy monk for violating the precepts, but when he thought about it calmly, it was not good to be so impulsive. It would also anger the greedy monk and several other men who were eating dog meat and drinking alcohol with him.
