Journey to the West: I am entertaining in Datang

After a while, she suddenly thought, Mr. Qin Hao!

In the bedroom, Empress Wende was telling Li Shimin about Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Everyone has chanted the stories of Master Guanyin's rescue and escape from danger, all of which are to promote the kindness of Master Guanyin, how could she treat Monk Bianji like this?

Back then, there was a poor girl whose husband died early. That poor girl told the world her story.

She is a miserable woman. When she was 23 years old, her husband suffered from an incurable tuberculosis and was ill for several years. All the money they had saved was spent within a few years.

When she was 33 years old, her hard-working husband finally passed away. The husband was a laborer before his death, and it was because of overwork that he became ill.

She took a son and a daughter with her, guarding her husband who was about to die. That kind of miserable life was already suffering to the extreme.

After the husband died, all expenses for the coffin burial were still donated by friends of the deceased.

Since her husband died, she has been relying on her uncle and aunt's family for two years, but her uncle's family is also poor and cannot live any longer.

There are three of them, mother and son, who make a living by themselves. The ten-year-old child is outside every day, washing clothes for the rich and herding sheep. She herself is trying her best to survive hard and raise her children.

The uncle couldn't bear the child's suffering, lack of food and clothing, and advised her to remarry and recruit a husband and adopted son.

Uncle Tang was the matchmaker, and a foreigner was recruited. His name was Huang Shiliang.

They have lived together for several years, but they live in peace. Although life is not very good, they can survive and their children will suffer less.

But later, because he was a foreigner, he couldn't be regarded as a legitimate couple.He has been troubled for several years and tried his best, but there is no way.

Because Huang Shiliang's elder brother is a contemporary writer, he knew that there was no way to do it, and advised him not to marry this woman, but to marry another woman. "

Chapter 1138 Cause and Effect

This man was ridiculed for not being able to enter the house, and someone said to him:

"You have raised children for others for several years, but in the end you are not an official parent. Living with others in name is not considered a family. Why don't you remarry another good girl as your wife?"

He said to people: "Mei Yue can't let me enter the house, I should show some skills to others."

Someone said to him, "What should I do if I ask you to marry someone else and you don't want to, and I can't be an official husband and wife?"

He said, "I killed her, and I won't let anyone else go."

August [-]th was a very lively day. When he came back, I saw that his face was not right, because someone had told me secretly that he was going to kill himself.

At night I said to him: "We have lived together for several years, and we have a very good relationship. It's just a matter of status. What can I do? You can't blame me! I heard rumors from outsiders that you want to kill me, right? Do you have that?"

He said: "There is no such thing. This is someone else's joke on you. We are a good husband and wife. Why should we kill you? Don't listen to others."

She said, "I think the same way, your children are very good to you, so what's the problem?"

From this point of view, she thought that she could live in peace from now on, and she didn't take this matter to heart.

Somehow, in the middle of the night on the 25th, when the two children and I were fast asleep, he woke up at some point, took a bayonet, and stabbed her three times in the abdomen like crazy. The knife, the intestines flowed out from the knife edge, one of the intestines was broken, the blood in the intestines came out from the intestines, there were more than a dozen knife wounds on my arms, back and shoulders, I didn’t feel any pain at the time, and I didn’t know After fleeing, I heard him say later: "When you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots, and the whole family will not leave any one behind."

Kill my 14-year-old daughter again. She was seriously injured and tried to escape from home, but she failed and died shortly afterwards.

At this time my son saw me and his sister being killed, he was frightened and stood aside. I ignored myself and told my son to run for his life. At this time, he chased and killed my son with a knife, and I grabbed my son His knife, so his fingers were cut off by the knife.

The son finally escaped from the tiger's mouth and asked someone to rescue him. When he saw someone coming, he wanted to commit suicide himself. The injury was not serious, so someone took the knife away.

I know that the time of death is not long, and I sigh for the pain of life, and I can't even shed tears.

At this moment, the guards, a man and a woman, both fell asleep, taking no responsibility at all.

If I die at this time, let's see how he makes a difference.

Time passed little by little, and it was less than half an hour before I was close to death. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and began to recite the mantra of the great man in white. Buddhists, now suffering from such misfortune, just die like this?

Even if I die, I am afraid that in the future no one will dare to believe in Buddhism, take refuge in Buddhism, or even laugh at it, thinking that it is useless to believe in Buddhism, so I quietly closed my eyes and recited the holy name of Namo Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva for about [-] times.

A miracle happened, and suddenly felt that the room was different.I opened my eyes and saw that there was no one in the room, but the light filled the dark room, and suddenly I saw Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appearing and standing in front of me.

Countless people stood behind the Bodhisattva, all clapping their palms together and chanting Buddha's name for me.

The Bodhisattva held something like a banana leaf and gave it to me. I thought, why did you send me a banana leaf?

The Bodhisattva immediately said: "This is a banana leaf, not a banana leaf. It is a treasure that does not exist in the world, and it is different from a banana leaf in the world."

Immediately, I felt a lot more relaxed, and I said, "Ah! There is nothing in this world, so good."

So I fell asleep very peacefully until dawn, without any pain, but I felt lack of energy.

After this blow, I recovered from my injuries and was discharged from the hospital. I often cried bitterly in front of Master Guanyin.

I don't think I've done anything bad in my life, so why should I suffer so much? My husband died early, and I recruited such a vicious man. Why did I kill me so heartlessly?

My 14-year-old daughter was also brutally murdered. The family members died and some were injured. The man who maintained the family was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He deserved it, but why did I suffer such a series of blows?I didn't know what bad things I did in my previous life, so I asked the Bodhisattva for instructions.

One day I was reciting Buddha's name, and suddenly passed out, and saw that I had turned into a prince.

Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, the young master has a follower beside him, who looks like a master and a servant. When he sees an orangutan, the young master shoots an arrow at the orangutan, and the orangutan falls to the ground.

The follower rushed forward, dragged the orangutan back and killed it. Not long after, I saw another orangutan coming to take revenge, so I ran away.

The orangutan chased after me, and I jumped into the water. It hugged my head and wanted to strangle me. I prayed to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to save the suffering. At this moment, the great master appeared and shouted at the animal: "The animal will harm people."

The orangutan folded his hands together, and the master took it away, and said: "I will lock it up for eight years, and if I can change my behavior, I will release it."

The master went and suddenly woke up.It's like a dream but not a dream, this is obviously the master who showed me my previous body and let me know.

I was this son in my previous life, my daughter was that servant, and the orangutan is the man who kills me now.

I shot the orangutan, my servant killed the orangutan, and now a man kills my daughter, the orangutan took revenge and tried to strangle me in the water, this time the man always tried to kill me, the strangest thing, My man was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but he only served eight years in prison, and he was released with amnesty.

Just as Guanxiu Bodhisattva took the orangutan and said: "I will imprison him for eight years, and he will be released after repenting." This kind of cause and effect is not at all happy.

From now on, I know that I hunted in my previous life, and I did not know how many lives were hurt. Therefore, I deserve all the pain in this life.

Most of my illnesses were cured in the Bodhisattva's dream.

Later, I had no choice but to ask Dashijia to be rescued. I had many stab wounds. At night, I dreamed that the Bodhisattva came to heal me. When I saw his Buddha's light flash, a white thing came out.

When I saw it the next day, there was something like a small piece of cloth spit out from the wound, and I pulled it off vigorously, and it was fine in a day, and it was the same for several times.

The Bodhisattva's kindness in saving suffering is something I will never forget.

The story told by Empress Wende has been widely spread among the people. What Empress Wende is most worried about now is that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who appears to save the suffering, has such a vicious side.

What will happen if you don't obey her decree?

Can King Tang bear it?

If she doesn't follow her wishes, will the world of Li Tang be at peace?

At this time, she also thought of someone, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go find it..."

It just so happened that Li Shimin also looked at her, their eyes met, and they nodded tacitly.

Chapter 1139 Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands

Thousands of places pray for thousands of places to answer, and the sea of ​​suffering is often used as a boat to cross people.

According to legend, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was born in Miaozhuang Kingdom a long time ago, and the king was called Miaozhuang King.

He has three daughters. The eldest princess loves to dress up, wearing heavy makeup every day, wearing red and green; the second princess sings and dances all day long, eating, drinking and having fun;

King Miaozhuang was getting old, he thought, to whom should the throne pass?

The eldest princess and the second princess spend their days drinking and drinking, and don't know how to make progress. The third princess is virtuous and upright, and she is born smart, which is more suitable.

Therefore, King Miaozhuang made up his mind to find a son-in-law for the three princesses, so that they could start a family as soon as possible.

One day, King Miaozhuang said to the three princesses: "Son, the prime minister's eldest son has learned a lot, and he can match my son. I want to ask the old master to be a matchmaker. How about it?" The three princesses just shook their heads with tears in their eyes.

A few days later, King Miaozhuang said again: "Son, today's champion of the new discipline is outstanding in learning. Would you like this marriage?" The three princesses shook their heads again after hearing this.

In a few days, King Miaozhuang came again: "My son, you must be satisfied this time. The son-in-law I found for you for your father is the richest man in the dynasty. His family has a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver——"

Before King Miaozhuang finished speaking, the three princesses shook their heads violently: "Father, my daughter is unwilling. My daughter is willing to serve her father and never marry for life."

When King Miaozhuang heard the third princess said that she would never marry for life, she immediately turned blue with anger, jumped up and shouted: "Bold beast, you dare to disobey the will of the king father! To tell you the truth, today's marriage, whether you want it or not, It must be done! Get engaged today, engage in engagement tomorrow, and get married the day after tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, the new son-in-law's family came to give the dowry gifts, and gold, silver, pearls and agates were continuously transported into the palace by carts.King Miaozhuang was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the maid beside him to invite the three princesses to come and see how honorable and honorable it is to be married to such a wealthy family!

Gong'e was ordered to go, and after a while, she ran over in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good! The third princess is missing!"

King Miaozhuang also panicked when he heard the report, he stamped his feet and said, "Come on, hurry up and find the third princess!"

In an instant, the palace was in chaos, with maids and eunuchs running around searching for it.

King Miaozhuang sent people to search everywhere again. After half a year, he found it in the Baique Temple on Peach Blossom Island in Zhoushan.

The third princess has become a nun and her legal name is Miaoshan.

King Miaozhuang sent ministers to persuade the third princess to change her mind and return to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the heart of the three princesses is as firm as iron and will not waver.

King Miaozhuang failed to persuade him, so he bought the head aunt of Baique Temple with a lot of money, and asked the aunt to abuse the third princess and force her to return to vulgarity.

The aunt got the money, blackened her conscience, and tried every means to torture the third princess.

Every day before dawn, she was asked to get up to work, and until the three stars were all out at night, she was allowed to go back to her room to do her homework.

The poor third princess grew up in the palace since she was a child. How could she have suffered so much? Her body was getting thinner and her face was haggarder day by day.But she still clenched her teeth and persevered, living through suffering.

This year, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was heavy snowfall, and the Peach Blossom Island was covered with snow, so it was impossible to get firewood.

But the third princess knew that if she didn't go back with firewood, her aunt would definitely not let her go. She braved the cold wind and crawled on the snow to find firewood.

Gradually, my hands and feet became numb from the cold, and without a trace of strength, I fell headlong into the ravine....

In the dimness, the sound of "squeaking" water rang in her ears, and someone came from the bottom of the mountain with a boat.

After a while, the boat docked, and an old man with white beard and white hair came up the mountain.

The old man walked up to the third princess, took out a shining bead, and put it between her lips.

With a "gulu", the beads were swallowed into the mouth and slid down the throat.Strange to say, as soon as the beads fell into the stomach, the three princesses felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

The three princesses got up quickly, and under the guidance of the old man, they boarded the boat and followed the tide to a mountain in the east of Peach Blossom Island.The third princess formed a thatched canopy on that barren mountain, kept company with birds and beasts, and practiced chanting scriptures.

After several years, the whereabouts of the three princesses were finally known by King Miaozhuang again.

This time, he led his troops to the East China Sea and surrounded the small island where the three princesses lived. King Miaozhuang took people ashore to search the mountain. Unexpectedly, all the snakes and insects on the mountain came out of their holes and bit anyone they saw.The people who searched the mountain fled back after rolling and crawling.

King Miaozhuang was so angry that smoke rose from the seven orifices, and ordered people to set fire to the mountain with sulfur and saltpeter.

The fire fought against the wind, and the mountain became a sea of ​​flames.

Suddenly, a ball of red light rose from the sea of ​​fire, and then the three princesses, wearing white robes and stepping on the lotus platform, were hidden in the red light, slowly drifting towards a reef cave on the opposite side of the island.

King Miaozhuang was scheming in vain and was helpless, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the palace.

A few days after King Miaozhuang returned to the palace, he suddenly felt extremely itchy, and headless abscesses appeared all over his body.I have visited famous doctors and tried all the good medicines, but all of them are ineffective.

King Miaozhuang was lying on the bed waiting for death to come.

Suddenly, a voice called out in his ear: "King Miaozhuang, if you want to survive, go to Putuo, South China Sea, and beg your daughter!"

King Miaozhuang heard it clearly, and quickly ordered people to prepare vehicles and boats to ask the third princess.

When King Miaozhuang came to the reef cave, he cried out, "My daughter, come and save my father! My daughter, come and save my father!"

Suddenly, a light came out of the cave, and the three princesses sat on the lotus platform and said to King Miaozhuang: "Father, don't worry, just use your daughter's arm as a medicine, and your father will be cured."

Saying that, with a "click", he broke his arm and threw it in front of King Miaozhuang.

King Miaozhuang took his daughter's arm, feeling ashamed, regretful and worried, fearing that his daughter would lose her arm and become disabled.

While hesitating, he suddenly saw the dazzling golden light in the cave, and countless arms suddenly grew out from under the three princesses' flanks.

King Miaozhuang was stunned, and said happily, "My daughter has cultivated a righteous fruit, attained the Tao and became a Buddha!"

It turned out that at this time, the three princesses had already ascended the Triple Treasure and became the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to save suffering.

The barren mountain where she practiced Taoism is Luojia Mountain, and the reef cave where she later appeared is Fanyin Cave in Putuo Mountain.
