74: Storyteller, Fengzhu! Wu Zhongxian will pester her! Sleeping with her
"Senior Feng, please continue."
The two chatted and unknowingly returned to the palace.
Sitting on the chair, Wu Zhongxian asked Xiao Que'er to pour tea, and then continued to listen to Fozi's experience.
Feng Zhu's red lips sipped tea and said slowly: "After the Buddha came down from the mountain, he entered the rivers and lakes."
"Drinking, eating meat, brothels and streets, there is nothing he doesn't do, there is no place he doesn't go."
"In addition to not killing people and not doing great evil, the Buddha has almost broken the precepts that all monks should abide by."
Wu Zhongxian suddenly said: "This is the first time he has realized the retribution of karma, and he feels that such karma is unfair, so he quit Buddhism and resigned himself to depravity."
"That's right."
Feng Zhu nodded slightly and continued.
"One day when Buddha fell into a brothel and indulged in debauchery, because his money was stolen and he had no money to pay for the wine, he was kicked out of the brothel by the brothel thugs and was surrounded and beaten in the street."
"At this time, a woman disguised as a man passed by. Seeing this scene, she paid to save the Buddha."
"This is the first time the two of them have met, but the woman is just helping out of kindness and has no good impressions of men like Fozi who hang out in brothels."
When Wu Zhongxian heard this, he guessed that the woman disguised as a man might have a marriage with the Buddha.
The little bird on the side also listened with great interest.
"After the two met for the first time, some time passed and they met again."
"It's just that this time the woman was robbed by bandits and almost violated. Buddha happened to pass by, recognized the woman's identity, and rescued her."
"It was also at this time that the Buddha learned that the person who helped him pay for the last time was a woman. And it was also at this time that the Buddha's eyes saw that the woman was carrying a demon disciple from the previous life and killed her.
The consequences for hundreds of innocent people."
"It is precisely because of this great evil that the woman had a bad fate. She encountered bandits and almost died."
"But when the Buddha saved the woman, the evil effects on her disappeared."
Fengzhu said and paused.
It was obvious that she was a little reluctant to say so many words at once.
Fengzhu is a woman who talks very little.
But seeing that Wu Zhongxian still wanted to listen, he could only continue.
If she doesn't finish talking, Wu Zhongxian will definitely pester her all day long and she won't be able to sleep well!
After spending this time together, Feng Zhu understood Wu Zhongxian’s character very well.
So Fengzhu took a sip of tea, and under Wu Zhongxian's urging and Xiaoqueer's expectation, he continued to speak like a storyteller.
Because there was no entertainment in ancient times, the profession of storyteller was very popular.
Back to topic.
"After Buddha saved the woman once, the two got to know each other."
"It's just that after a few days, the Buddha saw that the bad consequences on the woman had returned. It proved that she was going to die no matter what. Even if the Buddha could see the bad consequences, he couldn't save the woman."
"At this time, a senior monk from Jinquan Temple came."
"The eminent monk asked the Buddha why he wanted to save the woman? She should bear the consequences and die. God's will cannot be violated,"
"Fozi just smiled and said: She saved herself."
Yes, she saved herself.
If it had not been the woman's first good deed, the Buddha would not have helped the woman.
Even if he encounters a woman being murdered by chance, he may not necessarily help.
Because the woman is burdened with huge evil consequences and cannot be saved.
God's will cannot be violated.
Feng Zhu's voice continued, and the rhythm became faster, wanting to end it quickly.
"Then the Buddha told the woman the truth. He also explained to her the Buddha's karma. Good deeds do not necessarily have good rewards, and evil does not necessarily have bad consequences."
"At this time, the woman already had a good impression of Buddha. When she learned that she had to bear the consequences of others and would die for it, the woman's state of mind collapsed, so she left."
"Some time later, Fozi saw the woman again in the brothel. At this time, the woman was dressed in prostitutes, and Fozi was angry. He rushed over and asked the woman why she was so depraved."
"Even though the Buddha knows that doing good deeds may not necessarily lead to good rewards, he still doesn't want to see the woman fall because the Buddha also falls in love with the woman."
"The woman didn't say a word and drove away the Buddha. It wasn't until the next day that the woman came to explain. Only then did the Buddha know that it was this brothel that abducted and trafficked women from good families, and that the woman was the daughter of the county magistrate. She was here to save those
Only women who have been abducted will go to brothels to take risks to search for evidence and rescue the abducted women."
"The woman took a sip of wine and said to the Buddha with a smile: I am going to die anyway, so it would be better to die in a more valuable way. Do more good deeds and hope that it will happen to others in the next life."
"The Buddha was stunned when he heard this. He had misunderstood the woman. He didn't know that the woman's state of mind was higher than him."
"It only took a few days for the woman to understand the Tao that the Buddha had not been able to understand for several years."
At this point, Wu Zhongxian was somewhat amazed at the woman's character.
This woman really has a big deal!
Even though she knew the relationship between karma and retribution, even though she was destined to die because of the bad consequences of others, she did not give up on herself, but did good deeds and accumulated virtues for other unrelated people.
This kind of layout is really admirable!
"Later, the woman also heard about Fozi's life experience from the monks of Jinquan Temple. She felt sorry for Fozi, so she wanted to help Fozi catch the bandit who killed the little girl."
"So after the woman left a letter to Buddha, she went to the mountains alone to look for the bandits."
"She didn't bring anyone with her because she knew how cruel the bandit was and she didn't want to kill innocent people."
"It's just that this time, the woman was no longer lucky. Although she found the bandit, her limbs and head were chopped off by the vicious bandit, and she was hung on a tree like the little girl."
"When Buddha found the woman, her body was not intact."
"Fozi was furious and vowed to kill the bandit."
"He searched in the mountains for several days and nights without drinking a drop of water or eating a morsel of food. He gradually became exhausted and finally passed out."
"That day, a ray of Buddha's light actually shone from the woman's body. The Buddha realized his own mind, cause and effect, and became a land god overnight."
Fengzhu paused, took another sip of tea, and came to the end.
"Then Fozi found the bandit who had killed many innocent people. At that time, the bandit was almost driven crazy. Because the government had been looking for him, he could only hide in the mountains. No one talked to him for decades. He
Already like a savage.”
"When he saw the Buddha holding a staff, he was afraid."
"But Buddha didn't kill him. Instead, he came over and hugged him affectionately."
"The bandit cried at the end."
"In the end, the bandit was inspired by Buddha, surrendered himself, and was sentenced to death."
"And the Buddha finally realized the Tao, changed his white robe, returned to Jinquan Temple for seclusion, and never left Jinquan Temple again."
"It is said that he chanted sutras and chanted Buddha's name for that woman for thirty years. He only wished that the woman could live a good life in her second life."
At the end of the story, Xiao Que'er's eyes were a little red after listening to it.
The woman in the story is so pitiful.
Wu Zhongxian raised a fatal question.
"Isn't it said that karma is random? Is it useful for Buddhists to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name to a woman for thirty years? Will it bless others?"
