The mountain temple used to be not considered to be full of incense, but there will be no shortage of worshipers every day. The abbot of the mountain is a very prestigious mage in the city. After getting old, he came to this small village to live in seclusion in order to avoid secular disputes.In the last few years when he was about to perceive his destiny, the old abbot took in more than a dozen disciples, hoping that they would inherit the Dharma instead of him and save all suffering beings in troubled times.

The old mage is proficient in medical skills, and also has the ability to exorcise evil spirits and supersede ghosts. He is respected wherever he goes. People in the village heard that he wanted to accept disciples, and they all rushed to send their sons to the temple.Nowadays, the emperor worships Buddha. Although being a monk can't make you rich and powerful, you can get rid of work and rest, and have no worries about food and clothing.Sister-in-law Fan's fiancé, who was later her husband, was also urged by her family to enter Buddhism.

In the Asuka era, the festering life of the monks was difficult to be restrained for a while, especially in such a village where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, no one cared about it. The old abbot lived in such a relaxed environment for most of his life, and he was not restrained when he was old. Those monks who married wives were not turned away.Because of his beautiful face, Mrs. Fan's fiancé was selected as the disciple of the old abbot. Afterwards, he and Mrs. Fan held a wedding at home. The old abbot didn't mean to stop him, after all, that was the loose atmosphere at that time.

Later, the old abbot, who had already sensed the mandate of heaven, left his disciples to sit down, and their corpses were enshrined in the Buddha bead statue in the Buddhist hall as a flesh Buddha.As the young monk most favored by the old abbot, Mrs. Fan’s husband was selected to be the next abbot, so he took his wife to the backyard of the Buddhist hall, where she only worked as a cook during the day, and only got together at night to enjoy the ordinary life. Other people's time.

Although the precepts were not strict at that time, Mrs. Fan and his wife still did not dare to raise their children blatantly. The children born to them were sent to relatives to raise them. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Mrs. Fan only lived in the kitchen.

Originally thought that the two could spend their lives peacefully like ordinary couples like this, but news came from Beijing that Master Jianzhen proposed to rectify the ethos of monkhood, and false monks who do not follow the precepts will be severely punished.After the news came to the village, the monks who did not observe the precepts were all in danger, but due to the remoteness of the small village, few outsiders set foot there, and gradually everyone relaxed their vigilance until eminent monks came from the temples in the city.

The eminent monk who came from the great temple in Luling Guocheng was a fellow disciple of the old abbot. Before his death, the old abbot mentioned in his letter the disciples he had accepted in the countryside, so he wanted to come and have a look.Although Mrs. Fan's husband is only from a peasant family, he has an excellent appearance, which is very eye-catching among the nobles in Beijing. In the current era, people with good looks are more likely to be valued. The eminent monk immediately took a fancy to Mrs. Fan's husband. , want to promote him to practice in the city.For ordinary villagers, this can be said to be a step up to the sky. Being a monk in the village and being a monk in the city are two different concepts. Treat each other.

Sister-in-law Fan is both afraid of being abandoned and delighted that her husband can stand out, but she is also very clear that her own existence has become a stumbling block for her husband.Just when everyone thought that Mrs. Fan's husband would abandon his wife, he rejected the invitation of the eminent monk and chose to stay in this poor village.Facing the terrified wife and the disappointed eminent monk, the husband of Fansao did not regret it. He said: The poor monk was forced to become a monk for his livelihood. He was ashamed of the Lord Buddha. Next, I have no words to see the Buddha, and I have no words to meet my parents.

The eminent monk left with regret, and Mrs. Fan's husband continued to be an unappreciated monk in the countryside.

Everyone said that the abbot was stupid, but more people thought that Fansao's confidante was a disaster, polluting the master's cleanliness and delaying her husband's future.Although Sister-in-law Fan was moved by her husband's friendship, she also blamed herself, hating herself for being a burden to her husband.She couldn't make her husband live a better life, so she tried her best to help him. She took care of the heavy work in the temple by herself, working almost like atonement.

My concubine has a lot of sins... a lot of sins...

unforgivable...unforgivable...

The abbot has been doing good deeds for half his life, hoping to clear himself and his family of the crime of blasphemy against the Buddha, and the wife of Fan is doing hard work like masochistic, not wanting to hurt her husband.More than ten years later, the abbot died of illness. After the new abbot took office, although she did not drive away Mrs. Fan, she was not allowed to enter the front yard, and she was locked in the old kitchen to fend for herself.Every day, there are young monks peeping at Mrs. Fan through the bamboo fence, and they loudly criticize, saying that this is a monster that harms the Buddha.

Sister-in-law Fan was in so much pain that she wept in her room every day.

My concubine is deeply sinful... unforgivable... unforgivable...

I don't know how long it took, the monks lost interest in Mrs. Fan, no one cared about her life and death, but the cries from the kitchen in the backyard never disappeared.After the new abbot also passed away, people finally remembered Mrs. Fan in the back kitchen, but when they opened the door of the kitchen, there was only a dry bone inside, and Mrs. Fan had already died.

The person has passed away, but the crying in the temple has not stopped. The monks found that the rice grains enshrined in the Buddhist beads will disappear the next day, and the abandoned back kitchen will burn with smoke during the morning and evening meals. came.

More and more monks fled in fear, and the mountain temple gradually became dilapidated. There was not enough rice grain to feed the monks, and there was no surplus food to worship the Lord Buddha.The cries from the back kitchen were still clear, and the few remaining monks in the temple also disappeared one by one.

The story of Gukulipo began to spread in the village, and no one still remembered Fansao's original name.

My concubine is deeply sinful...

The old woman repeated this sentence repeatedly. During the day, she was like an ordinary woman, lighting a fire, cooking and cleaning the room, but at night, she became a depraved evil spirit, killing people and eating meat. When hunting, they dig out the corpses from the new graves, make clothes from human skin and hair, and leave carrion to feed their hunger.Mrs. Fan's husband has already become a Buddha, and she is the only one left in the world, struggling between humans and ghosts.

Concubine...sinful...

unforgivable...unforgivable...

Many eminent monks who came to deliver salvation never came back, and became the food of Gu Kulipo. The old woman was in great pain, but she couldn't control her evil deeds at night.A monk once said that if one can suddenly realize one's own sins, one can become a Buddha, but the old woman prayed every day, but she still couldn't get relief.

"I'm a... sinful person..."

The medicine seller stopped the scriptures and looked at the struggling woman wrapped in golden light. Her whole body was shrouded in black mist. Sometimes she was young and beautiful, and sometimes she was old and frightening.Looking at the old woman who couldn't find relief, the drug seller said: "Sister Fan has never committed any crimes."

The half-faced woman stopped scratching and looked at the talking pharmacist.He had stopped reciting scriptures, bowed his head and said, "As a man and as a wife, what's wrong with Fanmao? It's not because the Buddha won't save you, but because of obsession and blindness, she can't see the right way." Cursed herself, the monster named Gukulipo is her curse on herself.

[no... guilty...]

The woman muttered to herself in a trance, the light of transcendence that had been wandering outside but could not penetrate into her body seemed to have grasped the gap, and penetrated into the old woman's tired soul little by little.The obsession is like a poisonous snake, trapping the Fansao in this temple, causing sorrow and fear because of love; or making those who leave their love have no worries and no fears. This is what Fansister has heard countless times. But still can't comprehend.

Loveless and worry-free, but is that still her?

Leaving love and forgetting worries, negative husband is affectionate.Indulging in love and desire, it is difficult to reach the pure land.

The terrifying face of the old woman was torn off, revealing a young and beautiful face. The madness tormented by obsession had disappeared from her face, only the calmness after the dust had settled, the golden light of scriptures disappeared, and the woman was selling medicine Lang nodded, but also abandoned the pure land and walked into the road of reincarnation in the underworld.

Although the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is good, she still chooses to step into reincarnation, even though she has to go through hundreds of years of punishment to wash away her sins with blood on her hands.The kitchen returned to calm, and the drug seller heaved a sigh of relief, and put out the still burning stove, he was not interested in cooking in a human pot.

After dealing with Mrs. Gukuli, the drug seller was going to spend the night here, but just as he relaxed his vigilance, there was a sudden violent shock on the ground, and the cracks directly extended from the outside to the house.Seeing this, the drug seller immediately picked up the demon sword and rushed into the courtyard, and the drowsy pickle was also awakened. When she saw her little friend running out, she hurried to follow, but with another wave of earthquakes, the little The cat slammed on the ground, and the ball in his hand rolled out, and finally fell into the cracked gap.

"Qiaoqiu...Cai Cai's Qiuqiu...!"

The little cat didn't care about anything else, and jumped into the crack after chasing the ball without even thinking about it. When the drug seller heard the sound and looked back, the pickle was no longer there.Before he could help, the ground shook again, and as the ghosts in red and black kimonos returned to hell, the cracks were put together again, and everything before was completely erased.

Except for stray cats.

...

What is it like underground?

First of all, it can be determined that the air is smelly.

"Chirp!"

The little cat hugged the cuddle ball and sneezed painfully.It turns out that the underground is full of poop, and people here live in all kinds of poop.Compared with the sinners who were tortured in hell, the arrival of pickles seemed out of place, the surroundings were filled with the sound of wailing in pain, and pickles stood on tiptoes and kept backing away, but there was not even a suitable place to stay here.

"Found it, living soul."

A pair of hands stretched out from behind, directly pinching the collar of the kitten and lifted her up, Pickle retracted her arms and looked back, just in time to meet a serious face, she opened her mouth and said in excitement, "Chirp! "

Although the expression of the man who was sprayed with snot all over did not change, Pickle was sensitive and felt that the surrounding air became cold, and her face was still covered with snot bubbles, so she was frightened back to her original form with a bang, and turned into a flat ear and tail tucked poor kitten.

The collar of the collar he was carrying turned into a smooth and soft nape, and the silly little girl also turned into a cat.Ghost Lantern frowned, and said, "Don't worry, I won't abuse animals, but you can't stay here either." As he spoke, he held the pickles and left the dung and mud, but at this moment, the little cat suddenly struggled: "Cai Cai's ball dropped QAQ!"

Hearing the words, Gui Deng stopped, turned around and picked up the already dirty hand ball that fell on the ground.
