"This story starts from a place called "The Land of the Dead". But it is not a country of the dead. But those who live in that land, say a word."

Niu Ben stood on the Sumeru Platform and said slowly.

Both Buddhism and Taoism use stories to preach, so it is not surprising that Niu Ben uses stories to preach Buddhism. Many people are even curious about what kind of story this eminent monk who is said to be from Jianfeng City can tell.

"Let's start with Huangjiazhuang, a remote mountain village. The reason why Huangjiazhuang is called Huangjiazhuang is because most of the land in the village belongs to a landlord named Huang Shiren."

"Huang Shiren is the biggest landlord in the village. Most people in the village are tenants of Huang Shiren. Every year, they go to Huang Shiren's house to rent land to farm, but 80% of the grain has to be handed over to Huang Shiren. The remaining 20% ​​of the grain is at most enough to keep the tenants from starving. "

The story told by Niu Ben has already caused many people in the audience to discuss in low voices. Because Huang Shiren's land rent is too expensive, even though Changtan County's land rent is also expensive, at least 30% goes to himself and 70% goes to the landlord.

It seems that the tenants in Changtan County live better than the tenants in Huangjiazhuang, which makes many people inexplicably have a sense of superiority towards the tenants in Huangjiazhuang in the story.

Niu Ben pretended not to hear the words of those people in the audience, and continued: "There is a tenant farmer in Huangjiazhuang named Yang Bailao.

Others can grow 600 catties of grain per mu of land all year round, but he is willing to serve the crops and can grow 700 catties of grain a year. "

"In this way, he can get tens of catties of more grain per mu. Why does he work so hard? Because he also has a daughter named Xi'er."

Niu Ben stood on the stage and told the story of the white-haired girl.

The story of the white-haired girl is not made up, but a story in another world. It's just that the white-haired girl didn't have a happy ending to meet her lover again. Instead, he lived in the deep mountains and old forests for many years, and his body organs failed in many places. By the time he was rescued, he was powerless.

The whole story of the white-haired girl is from the source, so many details are abnormal.

Niu Ben told the story in detail, saying that Yang Bailao had no money to buy red cloth for Xi'er to make new clothes for the New Year, so he could only pull a two-foot red-headed rope as a New Year's gift for Xi'er.

Someone in the audience was already quietly wiping tears. New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve is a festival for the rich, but for the poor.

How many people are present at home during the Chinese New Year? And how many people look at the red coat worn by their mother-in-law when they married, but buy a new one for themselves?

During the New Year's Eve, Huang Shiren relied on the money earned from exploiting the tenants to eat meat and drink wine, enjoy the warmth of the hot kang floor, and praised the auspicious snow for a good year when he watched the goose feather snow outside the house.

And at Yang Bailao's home, Xi'er and Yang Bailao steamed a pot of miscellaneous corn bread, and the father and daughter gathered around the small stove shivering to keep warm. At the same time, he looked worriedly at the heavy snow outside the house. Yang Bailao didn't dare to sleep all night, for fear that the heavy snow would collapse the thatched cottage and let the souls of father and daughter go to the west.

Huang Shiren lost his temper because the village tailor made the wrong color of the clothes he made for the New Year, and beat up the tailor.

Xi'er cheered happily for the two-foot red-headed rope her father brought her.

Everyone present has become silent, and everyone has been substituted into this story. They are not Huang Shiren, they are Yang Bailao.

Because they are so similar to Yang Bailao. The same effort, the same job, and the same desire to live a good life for the family.

The story is very depressing, and more and more people have tears in their eyes.

If there is anything in this story that can make people feel hopeful, it is the love story between Xi'er and the boy from the same village.

Daxi is a down-to-earth young man who is tall and strong. Farming is also a good hand.

He and Xi'er liked each other, and they just waited for Daxi's family to collect two hundred catties of millet before going to Xi'er's house to propose marriage.

Hearing the love story between Xi'er and Daxi, many people smiled. But they don't know that the knife is always hidden in the sugar.

Just when everyone thought that Yang Bailao's family was about to usher in a turning point, something happened.

As a tenant, Yang Bailao did not have the money to buy young crops for next year's plantation, so he had to borrow money from Huang Shiren to buy seedlings every year. Wait until the time of harvest.

But this year, Huang Shiren raised the price of young crops several times. If Yang Bailao didn't buy it, he wouldn't rent the land for him to plant.

The reason why Huang Shiren did this was because he had already taken a fancy to Xi'er from Yang Bailao's family. Therefore, it was specified in the IOU that Yang Bailao would use Xi'er to repay the debt if the autumn harvest was not paid.

Hearing this, everyone present tensed up. Because many people have experienced or seen similar things.

Neighbors or relatives around had no other way to borrow money from big households in the county or temples.

And as long as you start borrowing money from these usury loans, most of them will not be repaid.

Immediately, someone shouted from below: "Don't borrow it! You can't borrow it!"

But the story does not shift with individual actions, the story continues. As everyone expected, this year's harvest was not good.

Yang Bailao could not repay the borrowed money no matter what. New Year's Eve, the Yang family will not be able to pass this year's New Year's Eve.

Huang Shiren raped Xi'er on New Year's Eve, forcing Yang Bailao to commit suicide by drinking bittern. Xi'er watched her father die tragically, and was raped and defiled by Huang Shiren in the blink of an eye.

Xi'er didn't want to live on the spot, and wanted to die with her father.

At this point in the story, the audience in the audience either burst into tears or burst into anger. A lot of young men had green veins on their heads, and they clenched their fists so hard that they wanted to hit someone.

"It's better to die than to live!"

"I said don't borrow it, don't borrow it. Hey, why is Yang Bailao so stupid."

"If he didn't borrow money, wouldn't Yang Bailao be more likely to die? It's just a year earlier and a year later. Poor people are born to die."

The atmosphere in the arena was both sad and indignant. Many people think of themselves, how similar many of the stories in the story are to themselves and what happened around them.

In the story, Daxi's family managed to get together a bride price of two hundred catties of millet and planned to go to Xi'er's family to propose marriage during the Chinese New Year. But he heard such bad news. Daxi went crazy at the time, holding a kitchen knife and trying to find Huang Shiren desperately.

Daxi was sent away overnight by his parents. They were afraid that their son would really do something to Master Huang. Then the whole family will be finished.

Xi'er wanted to commit suicide but was rescued. In the end, he failed to commit suicide, and his hair turned gray overnight. The black hair that was originally pitch black and grew to the waist turned into white silk overnight.

After being rescued, Xi'er's temperament changed drastically. She originally tried to commit suicide, and she originally felt that she had been tainted by others and was shameful. Now everything has turned into anger and hatred.

All she wanted was revenge. She began to realize that the sufferings of her family and those tenants in Huangjiazhuang were all caused by Huang Shiren.

From then on, Xi'er lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and became a white-haired girl. Huang Shiren literally forced an innocent, kind and lovely girl into a ghost.

The white-haired girl lives in seclusion among the mountains and forests, pretending to be a ghost to scare the members of the Huang family. She can only get revenge in this way.

But although this kind of scaring made Huang Shiren restless, it didn't really hurt the foundation of the Huang family. Huang Shiren was still a beautiful woman in rich clothes, jade, food and cars. This made many people in the audience grit their teeth with hatred.

Until the past many years, the Daxi who was sent away overnight by his parents suddenly returned to the village. He was dressed, with a knife and gun, and came back with a group like him.

They dragged Huang Shiren out of the mansion.

At this time, someone in the audience shouted: "I know, this is, come to eliminate Huang Shiren, a bastard!"

"Yes, it must be this one!"

"May I ask Master Jueyuan, what is this called?"

Niu Ben looked at the crowd in the audience, and he answered:
