Can the provincial capital hospital cure it? No hospital is 100% sure. The doctor's answer made Shi Wangfu feel disappointed. In this case, why not ask Master Huineng of Qinglong Temple to have a look? My left and right arms used to be red, swollen and itchy. He said it was an evil disease and suggested that I protect the birds and release them. It took some time to recover. Now my crotch is itchy and full of bumps, what could be the reason? Shi Wangfu still couldn't figure it out, but what he understood was that he could ask Master Huineng for help.
It was already evening when I found Master Huineng. Master Huineng had just returned from the temple to do some rituals. He said to Shi Wangfu, "You can come tomorrow." Shi Wangfu wanted to take off his underwear and look at him, but he didn't look at him. He still emphasized, "Donor, you can come tomorrow!"
Shi Wangfu didn't understand what he meant, and was even a little resentful. I came all the way across the mountains and ridges, and you didn't even look at my symptoms or say anything directly. Why do you want me to come tomorrow? All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions and three generations are compassionate and take pleasure in making things convenient for the donors. Why can't Master Huineng do it?
He thought this way and looked up. Master Huineng's back had disappeared into the depths of the temple. He had no choice but to go down the mountain and go home. His blind parents asked him why he hadn't come back for so long. He casually said that the hair salon was too busy to leave, but he was still thinking about why Master Huineng was so cold to him. He suddenly thought that he didn't give him a gift? I found a hundred yuan left on me and I will give it to Master Huineng tomorrow.
The next day, he rushed to Qinglong Temple, but did not see Master Huineng again. After asking about it, he found out that he had left the temple, but he did not know where he had gone. Shi Wangfu was frustrated and scratched the itch on his lower body. He was full of complaints: This monk is too dishonest. He asked me to come today, but he ran away.
Shi Wangfu had no choice but to go down the mountain and prepare to go to a pharmacy in town to get some anti-itch ointment. But when he got to the town, he accidentally drove into the city and then crossed the river by ferry. He arrived at the city in the north of the Yangtze River and walked towards the street where the hair salon where he now worked was located. When he got closer, he saw Master Huineng sitting there. Inside, he was astonished. Master Huineng happened to find him again. He stood up and greeted Shi Wangfu who walked in and said: Donor, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
As the saying goes: Monks don't lie. Why did you fool me? You told me to go to the temple yesterday, so why are you here today? Shi Wangfu asked aggressively.
Amitabha, the donor does not know something. If a monk lies and tries to escape you, he will never come to the hair salon to wait for you. When Master Huineng said this, Shi Wangfu was stunned.
Master Huineng continued: The monks are thinking about you. You are suffering from evil disease, and it is not appropriate to take your pulse in the temple, so I came to the hair salon where you work. If a monk doesn't think about the benefactor and you rush to the temple early in the morning, wouldn't you spend money to pay for the monk's travel expenses to take a bus to the city and ferry across the river?
Master Huineng, the donor has offended me, please forgive me. Shi Wangfu bowed his hands and saluted. Then he respectfully invited Master Huineng to come to his dormitory to see a doctor. Master Huineng entered the dormitory but refused to see a doctor, saying that he didn't need to see a doctor because he already knew the donor's condition.
Shi Wangfu took off his pants, Master Huineng turned his head and looked up at the ceiling and said: Put them on. Shi Wangfu asked doubtfully: How could you know my condition without even looking? Master Huineng said again: No need to look. He walked from the room to the balcony and asked Shi Wangfu to come to the balcony. Shi Wangfu was still confused and asked: Why do you want me to come to the balcony? Master Huineng said: Don’t you want a monk to treat you?
Yes! Why go to the balcony to see the doctor? Shi Wangfu asked with his eyes wide open.
Master Huineng pointed to a curled up spider in the corner and said: Ask it. Shi Wangfu sneered: Are you talking nonsense? Can spiders talk?
Before Shi Wangfu finished speaking, he felt a tingling sensation in his lower body that was particularly uncomfortable. He realized that his words were too arrogant, and he confessed: Master Huineng, my words were too extreme, and there were many offenses.
Amitabha. Master Huineng said: It doesn't matter if the donor offends me, but you will be in trouble if you offend the spider in the corner. Your itchiness cannot be eradicated, and it will also torture you to the point where you can't sleep and eat well.
So how do I get the spider’s forgiveness? Shi Wangfu who asked this question finally woke up.
Master Huineng said: Donor, if you kneel quietly in front of the spider in the corner for a quarter of an hour, you may be able to gain its understanding.
Shi Wangfu felt itchy and uncomfortable in his lower body, so he had no choice but to kneel down. When the time is up, Master Huineng said, think about it, have you done anything bad recently? Shi Wangfu thought to himself: Is there any need to think about it? Isn't it considered a bad thing to go out and play with women while I'm in the hair salon? Shi Wangfu actually fell silent, looking repentant.
At this time, the spider on the wall actually raised its head and spoke: Do you know what changed in me? Shi Wangfu looked at the spider twisting its neck in surprise, his mind going blank.
Spider said: Remember? A few years ago, you tried to raise a scorpion, but was bitten by a scorpion, so you killed the scorpion.
Hearing this, Shi Wangfu shuddered, because it was true, and he was still frightened when he thought about it. At this moment, Shi Wangfu was kneeling until his legs were numb and his face was pale but he still persisted.
Master Huineng stood aside with his back to him, as if nothing had happened, with his hands clasped together and silently reciting scriptures.
The spider continued: You may not have thought that I was reborn as a spider from the scorpion you killed. I used to covet to take revenge on you, but the Animal God stopped my motive and said that you have changed for the better. If you are successful in hunting, I will give up my revenge on you. But now you have become bad. Instead of being polite, you are inflated with lust and looking for flowers and willows everywhere. Not single-minded in feelings, not rigorous in style, only seeking to be romantic and happy, not taking any responsibility, harming virgins, and corrupting moral principles...
Shi Wangfu listened and listened, covering his face with his hands, feeling that he was really sorry for Liu Sanmei. He had not taken any responsibility for Liu Sanmei's pregnancy. He suddenly slapped himself in the face and said contritely: It is sinful to wish for wealth.
Your sin is unforgivable. The spider said: That time you exposed your underwear on the balcony, and I took the opportunity to climb in and poison you, deliberately infecting you and causing disaster. This time, the Animal God did not stop me from taking revenge on you, thinking that you deserved it.
Shi Wangfu bowed to the corner several times and said, "Grandpa Spider, I am willing to do good deeds and accumulate merit as before. Please forgive me for Master Huineng's sake!"
Amitabha, if the donor wants to repent, let him go! Master Huineng turned around and tried to persuade them to make peace. Shi Wangfu kowtowed to Master Huineng again.
No gift! You should worship the spider who gives you forgiveness more often. Master Huineng said.
Shi Wangfu looked at the corner again and saw that the spider had crawled somewhere and disappeared. Master Huineng pulled up the kneeling Shi Wangfu and said: You confessed in front of the spider, and the spider also revealed what you said, which shows that it has taken away the poison. As for the remaining poison in your lower body, you can go to the hospital for treatment, and you will naturally be cured. But you Do more good deeds and try to feel comfortable, and the disease will naturally be completely cured.
Shi Wangfu followed the instructions, found a doctor, and prescribed medicine. After a course of treatment, the lumps in his lower body gradually disappeared, and the itching gradually stopped.
Master Huineng's words about doing more good deeds always lingered in his ears. He suddenly thought of Liu Sanmei. For her, Shi Wangfu felt that he had failed her. A feeling of guilt made him want to help Liu Sanmei.
So, he found out that Liu Sanmei was working in a hair salon in another city. He tried his best to find her, but the owner of the hair salon said that she was pregnant and could not work and had been away for many days. It is said that she has given birth and is currently living in a hospital in the county. Shi Wangfu asked what hospital it was, and the salon owner said he didn't know.
