Yucuo of the Red Chamber

This is a bit convoluted, some people didn't understand, but the old monk was taken aback, looked at the Buddha, then at the sedan chair, his voice was soft and delicate, gentle and melodious, but it fell on his heart, it was like thunder, shaking his heart Zhideng fell apart and stayed there, speechless.

The Buddha said: "Amitabha probably didn't come today. As for the Tathagata, I don't know if others have seen it? But it seems that the master is a person who has enlightened the Tao and is respected by the disciples in the temple. He shouldn't let the disciples be contaminated with the evil spirit of the world and insult the reputation of Buddhism. It is no wonder that the Tripitaka has not been passed on in the Central Plains until now. It is probably related to you disciples who only shave or not leave home. If so, even if you practice for ten lives, it will not help, unless...someone takes ill-gotten gains in the name of Buddhism. "

The old monk with bright eyebrows was sweating profusely, and said hurriedly: "I don't know what offended my disciples? I also ask the Bodhisattva...to give me some advice." Looking at the Buddha, it seems that he doesn't believe that he can be a Bodhisattva, but think about what Daiyu said , what is impossible?

"Master, he... Isn't Master studying in the back mountain? Why are you here?" The abbot still didn't admit it, or he was a little bit embarrassed at the moment.Dozens of invited monks in the room all stared at him, their hearts trembling.

"I was sitting in the back mountain. Brother Ang, who brought me firewood early this morning, was very happy. We only found out about it when we talked about it. Unexpectedly, our understanding is not as good as his. In vain, I call myself an eminent monk. I know how to recite scriptures but don’t know Zen, what a pity..." The old monk couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, sighed endlessly, then looked at the Buddha and said, "I don’t know if the Bodhisattva would like to bless me and give me supreme spiritual power? "

The Buddha shook his head and smiled, "The abbot said I'm a fake Bodhisattva. Don't dare to make mistakes. Master must be tired after sitting in the sedan chair for so long. Let's go."

"Bodhisattva..." The old monk quickly knelt down on the ground and begged, "No matter what you have to do, please ask the Bodhisattva to order, and the disciple will definitely do it."

Glancing at the old man, the Buddha... Bodhisattva heart, shook his head, looked at Zhao Ni and said: "It's too late now, you discuss it with the old man, let's go up and take a walk first... Eunuch Chen, let the royal chef prepare with them For dinner, let's come down to eat before the end of the day, and then we will do evening classes. Master, what do you mean?"

"Let's go, I heard the tortoise." Daiyu replied in the sedan chair.

Everyone was taken aback, wondering why she made such a statement?

The tortoise bastard is especially able to live, the thousand-year-old 8-year-old tortoise, you can't do anything about him.

But where did the turtle come from on this mountain?Or is the mean Daiyu taunting who with insinuations and sticks?

"Grandpa, let's buy a spirit turtle..." A dusty villager, carrying a basket with two large tortoises in the mouth, looked at Chen Gonggong and others, standing on the road In the middle, he shouted, "My Buddha is merciful. If you release a life once, you will accumulate virtue and blessings. Letting this tortoise give you more blessings than anything else. Lord... I see that you are from a wealthy family. I don't want anything else, but I am afraid of the number of years." It’s not enough, it’s a pity that you can’t finish enjoying the riches and honors. This tortoise is the most blessed and long-lived spiritual creature. If the Bodhisattva knows it, he will definitely bless everyone, and the blessings and longevity will last forever.

Everyone was turning around the door of the horse's head sedan chair, and was stopped by such a person, so they couldn't get out.Judging by the posture of the villager, he is not afraid, or he is sure to win. Although he has a simple and honest smile on his face, he is quite courageous. Otherwise, he would not dare to be the Buddha Chen Eunuch.He was wearing an old plainclothes, which were old, but not damaged in the slightest; his trouser legs were rolled up underneath, and he probably bought them after he had just finished work, and his feet were bare, with some mud still on his legs and feet. , it becomes clear.It's just that this person can wear such neat clothes for ordinary work, so he is not from a poor family.

Looking at his posture, Buddha was a little impatient.Although he has heard a little about the rules here, he always seems to feel that these people are a little too treacherous; or he is not very familiar with this place, and he is afraid that if he has said it before, if he accidentally bumps into someone, it will not end well.Eunuch Chen took a look first, if he hadn't just had a fight with the monks in the monastery, he might have done it.But at the moment, I feel a little unpleasant, or feel that this villager has something to do with those people in the temple, and I feel a little upset when I look at it.

After such a delay, the villager continued to peddle: "These are all fresh turtles, which were caught early in the morning. It seems that all the gentlemen are charitable people, and they will surely live a long life in the future. It looks so good." Let’s put two of the spirit turtles. Five taels of silver each.”

"Five taels of silver? Buy a tortoise!" The bearer muttered, "Golden tortoise, it's so expensive."

"It's not a golden tortoise, but this spirit tortoise grows in this spiritual mountain, and it is especially effective; and it is near this temple. I think I must have heard a lot of scriptures, and it may become a Buddha in the future. If the masters buy it and release it , I will surely be blessed by Buddha in the future, and it will be very easy to have a million-dollar fortune." Seeing that the bearer seemed to be a little interested, the villagers hurried over, holding a turtle in one hand, and handed it to the bearer, saying, "Mr. Look, the back of this spirit turtle is silver, it has probably been cultivated successfully, and it will become a Buddha in a while, if the master can let it go at this juncture, the merit will be ten times more than usual."

It sounds quite tempting, the guards are really tempted, and they are still thinking, a Bodhisattva blessed them yesterday, and today they encountered such a good thing, isn't it that the heavens have eyes to take care of them?If this is the case, I am afraid that in the future, I will be promoted to a noble, and the family will be full of blessings, and I will worry about not being rich and longevity?But at this moment, the masters didn't speak, and it was inconvenient to take the lead, so they were scolded carefully.

The villager really had eyes, glanced at the guards, guessed that the one in the sedan chair was the real master, the Buddha in front was riding a tall horse, unlike ordinary servants, let alone the nephew of the palace, who came out to offer incense with the princess or concubine.These people don't need anything, but they are afraid of death; what they have is silver and compassion, so they hurriedly approached the sedan chair and yelled: "My wives and wives, this turtle is a spiritual creature of Lingshan, only those who are destined to meet it, presumably it is in the manor There will be a happy event in a few days, so I am here to send blessings. As long as ten taels of silver, the princess will not only have a full house of children and grandchildren, but also have a long life. The future will be unspeakably precious, and my wife is merciful..."

"Is it really so effective?" Sitting in the sedan chair, Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, this endless, wife and wives, and children and grandchildren, and thinking that the Buddha might laugh at her like this, she hated her so much.

"That's right, Concubine Nan'an let go of two, and now the old man is blessed and live longer, and his descendants will be promoted to rank; the wife of Duke Zhen Guo let go of one, and his eye disease has healed for many years, and now his grandson will soon enter an official position. It must be promoted every step of the way, and it is unspeakably expensive..." The villagers saw that the matter had something to do, nodded and bowed happily, and hurriedly sold it, listening to the tone, there must be a noble and delicate owner in the sedan chair, but it is only ten taels of silver, maybe you will be rewarded once you are happy He can do it for ten taels, and his heart feels like he has eaten honey, and his mouth is also very sweet.

"Oh..." Daiyu interrupted him leisurely, smiled, and said, "Looking at you, you seem to be a villager nearby. I don't know how your family is? How are you doing?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and they didn't know what Daiyu wanted to do. Could it be that the bodhisattva is so heart-loving that he not only wanted to buy turtles, but also showed mercy and helped his family?This was a bit unexpected, Eunuch Chen was sweating, but fortunately, he was honest, even though he was in this barren mountain, he still had 80 taels of silver with him, otherwise he would be embarrassing in a short while.

The villager was even more happy. Today, he met a living Bodhisattva. He took a sneak look at the guards next to him. It seemed that he was not like the usual entourage of Concubine Nan'an, and was obviously much more heroic than her servants.Be good, did you meet the princess?Although this Fahua Temple is remote, but because of its reputation, eminent monks often come here. Today, it is really possible that a noble person will come, so he will be very angry.Thinking of this, she hurriedly cried and said with a sad face: "Princess is merciful. I am a villager at the foot of the mountain. There are old and young in my family. My mother is over 70 and bedridden; my son is only two years old and often suffers from illness. I am alone. I really care about it." But come on, this day is going to be..."

"Yo, it's quite pitiful." This play was performed so vividly, Daiyu looked at it through the thin car curtain, and smiled coquettishly, "Eunuch Chen, reward him with a penny and let him deal with it now." In the past. Since this tortoise is so smart, you might as well let it go yourself, maybe you will be promoted to a noble in a short time, step by step, become a grand general of the state, and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, or you will not pay attention. It will be fulfilled to be a wealthy and overlord. If there are still difficulties right now, the monks in this monastery are the ones who love the poor and love the elderly the most, presiding officer, you won’t die without saving your life, right?” Seeing that the presiding officer and the old monk were standing While watching the play, Daiyu asked them to sing a few lines by the way.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately, they all fell down laughing...

At this moment, even the serious old monk and Master Haomei couldn't help it, just thought that these words, why did they just say that... Yes, Daiyu's words are reasonable, what's wrong?Let go, why don't you let go first?Also, the price of a tortoise has increased from five taels to ten taels, is it a robbery?Especially that Master Haomei, who had just been pointed out by Daiyu, felt relieved, and laughed, so relaxed and comfortable.The little monk laughed like he heard some big joke, lying on the threshold and unable to straighten up.

Buddha also laughed.In the past, when releasing animals in Buddhist lands, it was nothing more than buying a sheep or a dog from someone at a low price, and tying it with a red string, which was the rags for cassocks.After the animals were released, they strolled leisurely on the street.People passing by would occasionally feed them some food, but no one would make an effort to steal them back and sell them again, or kill them and eat them.The people here are very clever, and they don't know how many times they can be sold. There are even monks in the temple who secretly fish them out of the release pond and let them sell them.From the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year or during the Lunar New Year's Eve, there is a long line at the gate of the temple. Each person puts a few animals in their baskets, and turtles are always the most.
