Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, my understanding has grown up. He learned to recite sutras and mantras and perform rituals from his master. Some of the sutras and incantations he recited could even cure people's illnesses. In addition, he often performed rituals for others, and often received generous rewards from others, including rice, noodles, oil, salt, and sauce. Some will give you tea; some will give you clothes, hats, shoes, socks and new cassocks, and some will just give you cash. All in all, except for the taboo on killing animals in the temple, no one brings meat to the temple, and everything else is there.
The storage room behind the temple was full of foodies, and some of them were easily expired and spoiled. The elderly master told his enlightenment to sort out some and instead give them to the pilgrims who put coins in the merit box.
Soon, Master passed away. There is only one person named Wu Xing in the entire Hualing Temple. He began to follow the same practices as his master, lovingly giving up the extra food and showing no discrimination to all the pilgrims who came to the temple.
Later, he became discriminating and liked to give the items that other pilgrims had given to the temple that could not be used up and should not be kept for a long time to a female pilgrim with a black braid.
Of course, it was probably the female pilgrim who had taken a fancy to him. He was only in his twenties and full of vigor. Although he was a monk with a shaved head, he was also handsome and handsome. As the saying goes: What woman doesn’t love beauty? What man is not pregnant? It's just that the female pilgrim shouldn't have harbored evil intentions towards the monks in the temple. That time she came out of the hall where the Buddha statue was enshrined, saw Wu Xing, and deliberately fell down in front of him. She screamed in pain, and Wu Xing helped her up. Unexpectedly, she wrapped her hands around Wu Xing's waist and hugged her tightly.
Wu Xing said, "Let me go. It would be bad if other pilgrims saw me coming." The female pilgrim said, "Go to the wing over there!" In this way, enlightenment did not resist the temptation, and he had sex with the female pilgrim in the temple. Not only was he breaking the precepts, but he was also blaspheming the gods. The natural understanding is to be brave, and the behavior changes from being scrupulous to having no scruples.
Needless to say, he and the female pilgrim stuck together like glue from time to time. Moreover, under the influence of the female pilgrim, he who did not eat meat and drink wine before has now become a person who eats large pieces of meat and drinks wine from large bowls. In order to please the female pilgrim, he even brought her to the temple and subjected her to a violent act of sexual intercourse, which was hardly like a monk.
That time, a male pilgrim came down the mountain. After entering the temple to burn incense, he didn't see the monk in the temple. So he walked up and down the aisles to look for him. When he came to the alcove, he heard the noise inside and the woman's laughter. . After a while, the door opened, and out of the room came a female pilgrim with a long black braid swung behind her back. The monk who walked out from behind her was the familiar enlightenment of the pilgrims.
The pilgrim quietly dodged away, feeling no need to expose or offend the monk who had broken the precepts. But after he came down from the mountain, everyone talked about it and gave him an indecent nickname: Sexy Monk. Word spread quickly, and his reputation was tarnished.
Later, someone went up the mountain and saw the monk eating meat, so he asked him, do you eat meat even if you are a monk? He replied without shame that now that the "reform" has taken place, there are some monks living in the temple who eat meat and those who don't, and I belong to the latter group. However, if you pilgrims come to me for anything, I will still help you if I can.
Later, some pilgrims actually asked him for help. It was a truck driver named Xie Zainan. That morning, he drove very cautiously and got on the provincial highway. He arrived at a section of road that was neither a curve nor a slope. It was very flat. In the center of the road more than ten meters away from the front of his car stood an expression. A dull girl, she is wearing a red plaid top, the color is bright, like a ball of fire.
Xie Zainan turned the truck to the side of the road and stepped on the brakes to stop. Normally, he would have kept honking his car horn until the girl got out of the way. If she didn't give way, Xie Zainan would slowly pass the car around her, then accelerate to get rid of the obstacle and drive towards the smooth road ahead.
But at this moment, cold sweat broke out on Xie Zainan's head. He opened the car door and walked towards the girl. Conventionally speaking, this is like taking off your pants and spanking, so there is nothing more to do.
Why is Xie Zainan like this? Only he himself knows that it rained heavily yesterday, so he went to Hualing Temple with an umbrella to burn incense and worship Buddha. When he came down the mountain, he saw a flooded field in front of him, and there were many struggling black ants floating on the water that were not yet drowned, like a layer of swaying black sesame seeds.
He suddenly felt compassion, returned to the mountainside, folded a wooden stick and placed it across the water. The ants swam over and climbed on the stick to survive.
That night, Xie Zainan had a strange dream. An old man with a white beard reminded him, Driver Xie, you were going to have a car accident when you drove out tomorrow. Since you did a good thing today to save ants, I will remind you. Half an hour before setting off tomorrow, be sure to drive slowly, with a speed of no more than 20 mph. You will definitely avoid a car accident.
Jie Nan thought of the dream he had last night and didn't dare to repeat it. Less than 20 minutes after driving in the morning, it really came true. Wasn't the girl in red plaid standing in the middle of the road? My mother, Xie Zainan took a deep breath. In order to get rid of the bad luck of the day, he had to cautiously walk towards the girl who was still standing numbly in the middle of the road, and said in a negotiating tone, "Girl, can you sell me this red plaid dress you are wearing?" The girl glared at him and asked angrily, "Why did you buy the clothes I'm wearing?"
Jie Zainan scratched his scalp and emphasized with an old face, "Girl, don't ask so many questions. Tell me, what is the price of the red plaid dress you are wearing?" I will buy it no matter how much it costs. The girl wanted to strangle him and deliberately raised the original price, saying, "My dress costs 600 yuan, do you want to buy it?"
Xie Zainan happily took out a wallet from his body, opened it, took out a stack of hundred-yuan notes, and counted 6 of them to her. The girl took the money and put it in her trouser pocket, then took off her red plaid top and handed it to Xie Zainan. The girl who exposed her gray and white underwear was still standing in the middle of the road. Xie Zainan said, can you stand on the roadside? The girl listened to him and stood on the side of the road.
I saw Zainan spreading the red plaid shirt in the middle of the road. He got into the truck, put it in gear, stepped on the clutch, and slightly stepped on the accelerator. The truck drove from the side of the road to the middle of the road and ran over the red plaid shirt. , and then accelerated away from this road section, obviously to get rid of the bad luck encountered early in the morning.
When we returned to this section of the road in the afternoon, there was a traffic jam and the car could not pass. When I got out of the car and took a look, I realized that a car accident had occurred. On the stretch of road he drove through in the morning, another truck hit and killed a girl wearing a red plaid top.
Xie Zainan felt puzzled. Didn't the girl's red plaid top sell to him? He thought about it over and over again and figured it out. The girl must have seen that the red plaid top that was run over by his truck was not damaged, nor was it taken away by the driver who paid for it. It was just a little dirty, so she dusted it off. The dust on it was gone and it was still on my body, but I was still standing numbly in the middle of the road, and then an inevitable car accident happened.
In this situation, Xie Zainan felt uneasy! He was worried that the girl who became the ghost of the car accident would cause trouble for him if she found a substitute on this road. He suddenly thought that there was a Hualing Temple on the nearby mountain. By the way, it would be a good idea to go find the monks in the temple to chant sutras and mantras for him to dispel darkness and suppress evil spirits.
The next morning, Xie Zainan did not run for transportation, but drove the empty truck to the road below Hualing Temple. After he got off the car, he walked along a mountain path until he came to the temple. A woman with black hair who did not look like a nun came up to him. When she saw his empty hands, she said with a straight face, "Oh, you pilgrim, you are really a porcelain rooster." , come to the temple to worship and make offerings to Bodhisattva, why don’t you buy some incense candles and fruits?
Xie Zainan looked at the woman in front of him inexplicably and said straightforwardly, "I came to see the monk for something, and I didn't think about anything else."
Suddenly a monk walked out of the temple and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Jie Zai Nan said, are you the enlightened monk in the temple? The monk nodded, and Xie Zainan immediately took out some money from his body, without counting it, and stuffed it into Wu Xing's hand, saying that I was in a hurry and forgot to buy incense candles and fruits, so I should use this money as compensation! Wu Xing did not refuse and handed the money to the woman standing next to him. The woman smiled and walked away.
