Chapter Fourteen Old Events

Wang Lin woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes with his thick palms, and after he made sure that he had read it wrong, he looked at Chen Fei with admiration: "It's amazing, amazing, the Taoist sect's martial arts really make people shine. Chen Daozun sees you are extraordinary and thinks you are the top master of the Taoist sect. This is the first time that Taoist priests have intervened in the affairs of the human country. Is there any task?" Wang Lin is an old man after all, and immediately guessed the clues. Over the years, only some inexplicable Taoist priests are willing to come to the human country to travel and serve the princes and nobles. Like Chen Fei, a powerful Taoist priest who only exists in legend, who are willing to deeply intervene in human affairs, has never happened, and must have an unusual purpose.

Chen Fei saw him say this and removed the seal from his left hand. The flowers blooming in the water then withered, as if warning Tuoba Lie that your blooming and withering are all controlled by me.

"To be honest with General Wang, Chen went down the mountain and came to Renguo to preach according to the order of his master."

"Chen Daozun, your teacher is..."

"Li Yizhi, the thirteenth generation leader of Shushan, the real person in charge of his family!"

"So that's how it is!" General Wang Lin took a deep breath, and then he realized that Chen Fei was the messenger of the Dao Sect going down the mountain. From this, he thought that the Dao Sect was ready to enter the People's Kingdom to preach and compete for the territory of the Buddhist Sect's belief.

Seeing Wang Lin's shocked expression, Chen Fei immediately joked: "How will General Wang Lin take the team?"

Wang Lin was so scared that his hands trembled, and his wine glass fell to the ground, falling to pieces.

"Hahaha, it makes General Wang happy. Taoism and Buddhism belong to the right path, and they are in the same spirit and have no reason to fight each other. What the people believe in is all up to themselves. No one will force the people." Chen Fei was so smart. Seeing that he was scared, he immediately changed his words and comforted him.

General Wang Lin ordered his servants to clean the broken wine glass, and brought another brand new one. Drinking and sank for a long time before saying: "The Buddha Sect is a belief in the world. If you want to establish a new belief on this basis, you need to break it before you establish it. If you want to coexist, it will be difficult."

"Let's talk about this topic anymore, let's talk about it with some relaxation."

"Yes, General Wang, let's say it's easy. I heard that General Wang loves collecting it for a long time. It would be better to take out a few treasures to open my eyes to the king and Daozun." Tuoba Lie echoed from the side. He and Shen Fei either kicked or stood up, and cooperated with tacit understanding, which was simply a standard match between the king and the minister.

"A few calligraphy and paintings are definitely not in the eyes of Your Highness. I can only say that I am just watching the fun." After that, Wang Lin clapped his hands twice in a row and ordered: "Come on, bring my calligraphy and paintings."

The warriors are so happy to be good at rituals. Wang Lin is a typical warrior. He doesn't like to hide it. He happily ordered his subordinates to carry the collected calligraphy and paintings. In a short while, a servant walked up with a big jar. The jar contained various scrolls of paintings, which were horizontal and vertical. It was indeed the unruly way that the warriors appreciated paintings.

Wang Lin said: "This is a rubbing of Cai Yong's "Hongdu Stone Sutra", this is Qiu Jing's "Xi Na Song", this is..." All these are dazzling, Chen Fei and Tuoba Lie are both martial artists. To be honest, they don't know much about calligraphy and paintings. After listening to Wang Lin's introduction, they just echoed in confusion. Wang Lin said with relish, looking very proud and proud.

Speaking of which, the more people don’t have anything, the more they like to show off. Wang Lin is from a military family. He has been in the army since he was a child and doesn’t know two big characters. He likes to brag about the collection of calligraphy and paintings, which makes people laugh.

After the calligraphy and paintings in the jar were displayed one by one, Wang Lin sobered up a little and pulled the two to continue eating and drinking. While they were praising each other, Chu Xie had already found the housekeeper in the house and went to the room to rest. He was a real person and did not like to socialize hypocritically.

I don’t know where they were talking, Chen Fei and Tuoba Lie were both confused and sleepless, but Wang Lin suddenly changed his eyes and knelt on the ground with a "thump". "Your Highness, Chen Daozun, you are here at the right time. Wang has something to ask for." The two of them were so sleepy that they tried hard to figure out how to get rid of Wang Lin's entanglement without trashing his face. They were both confused by his sudden kneeling, and looked at each other, and their minds were much clearer.

Tuoba Lie took the initiative to support him and said, "General Wang, you are so happy. What are you doing? Please get up quickly. Let's say what you have."

"Your Highness, if you don't agree to Wang's request, Wang won't get up." There was a crying voice in his tone, which was completely different from the moment, which was simply incredible.

Tuoba Lie looked up at Chen Fei again, had a look of eye contact with him, then lowered his head and advised with kind words: "General Wang, let's say something slowly. You stand up first and say your own difficulties. If we can help, we will definitely not refuse."

"No, if your Highness doesn't agree to Wang, Wang won't get up."

"So... Hey, General Wang, you are... forget it, get up quickly, no matter what request you make, I will agree."

"Wang Lin then stood up, sat on the table and sighed heavily, and told the story with tears in his eyes..." It turned out that General Wang's seemingly harmonious and happy life actually had an indescribable hidden secret.

Everything started ten years ago. At that time, Wang Lin had just been released from the Heavenly Prison and was sent by His Majesty to Nantong City as a general to defend the city. He dragged his family along the way, but his journey was not smooth. The whole family had already been worried about him, and suddenly accepted such a great joy. He rushed on his way for several days and was infected with the cold one after another. He settled down in a broken Guanyin Temple and couldn't even walk.

The military law is strict. If you cannot get to Nantong in three days, Wang Lin will be held accountable for violating military orders. The sentence will inevitably be death penalty. His Majesty the Emperor has given him a chance, but I am afraid he will not be able to save him again.

On that night, his family fell ill and became hungry and in trouble. To make matters worse, it was raining heavily in the sky. The ruined Guanyin Temple was leaking everywhere, shaking and full of sadness. Wang Lin knelt in front of the broken Guanyin statue and asked Master Guanyin that as long as he could help him overcome the difficulties in front of him, he was willing to offer everything to Master Guanyin.

Somehow, after swearing with despair, Wang Lin fainted. When he woke up, it was the next morning. Wang Lin was surprised to find that the cold and cold that the family had been infected with the cold all over the night. Not only that, a lost donkey ran to the temple with his owner's dry food and supplies. The donkey became Wang Lin's life-saving straw. It was with it that Wang Lin gave up his wife and children and went to Nantong City to take office. He thought very well at the time. The dry food carried by the donkey was enough for the whole family to eat for a week, and the lesions on their bodies had been cured. As long as he took office in time, he became the city guard of Nantong City, and then he rushed back to welcome his family with his soldiers.

He left all the food for his family, rode a donkey to take office, and walked for a whole day and night without stopping, and came to Nantong to take office smoothly. The day after he received the general's seal, he hurriedly took his subordinates back to find his family. But he searched for ten days, and searched through the poor mountains and rivers, and could not find the Guanyin Temple where he hid that day.

Wang Lin was very anxious. He remembered the donkey who accidentally appeared in Guanyin Temple and saved his life. He moved his heart and turned back to Nantong City and returned to the mountains to search. Sure enough, he was led by it and found the Guanyin Temple where the whole family lived. But what Wang never expected was that finding his family was not a happy thing, but the beginning of the tragedy."

"The beginning of the tragedy?" Hearing this, Chen Fei and Tuoba Lie were both shocked, and they couldn't guess why Wang Lin had such a word.

But he heard the other party continue, "Wang saw his wife and children again, and he felt reborn. He only cared about the family reunion, completely ignoring the life-saving benefactor of his family. He was the donkey who came from somewhere, which caused a disaster. Due to the bumpy road and too hard work, the donkey fell ill on the way back. The soldiers accompanying him were hungry. Seeing that the donkey fell ill, he wanted to kill him to satisfy his hunger. Wang had just taken over as the general at that time. Although he was grateful for the donkey's kindness, he did not dare to disobey the soldiers' wishes too much. After their repeated insistence, he was forced to compromise and finally killed the donkey that saved the whole family's lives to satisfy his brothers." Speaking of this, Wang Lin burst into tears and regretted his behavior.

The black donkey's eyes before his death are still unforgettable and vivid in my mind. From now on, he will wander in front of him every night, causing him to be unable to sleep at night.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare had just begun. Half a year later, the parents of his ancestors died one after another. A year later, the two children in the cradle grew black hair and hard skin like donkeys, and their ears became sharp and long, just like donkeys. The old man died, but the child could not die. Since then, he was cursed by the black donkey and lived in the darkness, fearing that he would be regarded as a monster by the world and dare not see anyone. Wang's wife was too excited and lived in a crazy life. Eating vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name was useless. Not only that, the general's house could hear the donkey's cry every night, which was extremely clear but without traces, which made everyone in danger and unable to sleep at night." Speaking of this, General Wang, who was big and thick, could not help himself and cried out loud.

"No wonder there was no family member after entering the door." Chen Fei and Tuoba Lie looked at each other and took a breath of cold air. Who would have thought that the general who looked majestic had such an indescribable hidden secret. But to be honest, it was his own fault. Not to mention whether the prayer in front of Guanyin statue was effective, the black donkey had a recreation to Wang Lin's family. It would be fine if he was not grateful, but he actually ate the black donkey with the soldiers. It was simply a model of ruthlessness and ungratefulness. But the donkey was a monster after all, and when Wang Lin was a human, human, and monster had to stand on the side of the human side.

"General Wang, to put it this way, the mansion is still harassed by the black donkey."

"It's not just harassment, it's simply a curse, a nightmare, an omnipotent nightmare. Wang's two children grew up day by day, with their black skin and black hair growing more and more, their noses bulged out, their backs arched, and even began to walk on all sides like donkeys. Wang's wife couldn't bear the children being rolled by others, so she took her two children to live in a yard at the end of the general's mansion and lived an isolated life. Wang occasionally went to see them. Although life was difficult, it was a family reunion.

But that hateful black donkey didn't want to let Wang's family go. For the past six months, he has often possessed my child. The children possessed by it are like crazy, biting and beating people when they see them. Even the matter gets bigger and bigger, and it's almost impossible to save them. Fortunately, your highness, you came here with two Taoist masters. Now you can only save the lives of Wang's family."

After hearing him, Chen Fei showed a suspicious expression and asked, "General Wang, please forgive me for saying frankly, General, you are in a high position and have a wide range of connections. Have you never thought about asking a monk to recite scriptures and drive away evil spirits? You know, when it comes to restraining evil evil spirits, monks should be no less than Daozong."

"Oh, don't mention it. How could Wang not have thought of asking a monk to come to do rituals? But no matter what position, once the monk of any position, shook his head and shouted Amitabha Buddha, and he was unwilling to come to help. Later, through a monk with a good relationship, Wang realized the reason why they were unwilling to help: it turned out that in the eyes of monks, everything has a cause and only the result is the result. Wang did something unrighteous, and should be subject to the evil consequences of the black donkey curse. If they forcefully intervened, they would break the own laws of the cycle of cause and effect, which would affect their cultivation of accumulated blessings."

"But as far as I know, monks should be merciless to the monsters."

"Yes, Wang was like the Taoist Lord at that time, and he had this question. Who would have thought that the monk said: Putting aside the cycle of cause and effect, the Buddhist scriptures say that the black donkey is a form that Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into in order to relieve their hardships when he saw farmers working hard. In other words, the black donkey is a symbol of Guanyin Bodhisattva in their eyes, and the place where Wang prayed was Guanyin Temple. The help he received came from the black donkey, which undoubtedly confirmed the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva in it. After doing the work of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, they could not lend a helping hand no matter what. Wang must suffer enough, remember the lesson, and repay the sins."
