Blind monks in folklore

Introduction: Five hours is not time, but a person's name. No one knows what his name is, except that when he came to this world, the first crow just came from outside, and the postpartum mother looked at her son's little face and said happily to her husband; "It's almost dawn, just call him even! Maybe tonight ...

When he was five or eight years old, he sat alone under the big banyan tree at the head of the village, silently looking at the imaginary sky. A red-faced beggar monk, dressed in shabby gray cloth and Ma Xie, happened to pass by here. The monk stopped to study for a while, and then went forward. A pair of big hands touched his toes from the top of Wugeng's head. The monk nodded with a smile. Wu Geng actually followed the monk's skirt with his black hand and never heard from him again.

One winter twenty years later, Wu Geng returned to his hometown with only a few memories, accompanied by a biting cold wind. Unfortunately, Wu Geng's parents died long ago, and my uncle occupied the original house and several acres of sloping land. Wu Geng came down to his parents' grave with the help of his mother's good friend, Aunt San, lit incense, knocked three heads, sat cross-legged, put his lotus palm on his chest with one hand, and murmured, but two lines of clear tears shed in his eyes. That night, the north wind roared, but the watchman did not move. It was not until the first cock crow in the village that he leaned forward, kowtowed three more times in front of his parents' grave, and then got up and left. At that moment, Wu Geng was born.

After dawn, Wu Geng came down to live in a ruined temple three miles away from the village with the help of his third aunt. After the third aunt helped him clean up, Wu Geng took out a glittering and potbellied Buddha statue from his bag, respectfully placed it on the stone table in the temple, and then ordered three wick sandalwood. Wu Lian leaned over and knocked three Xiangtou, and the three aunts who came with him also knocked three Xiangtou. After that, Wu Geng took the temple as his home. The sound of wooden fish came from time to time in the ruined temple, which broke the tranquility of this wilderness. The smell of sandalwood wafts in the air, which makes passers-by feel a little quiet, and often attracts passers-by at the foot of the mountain to stop and see this shabby little temple that has not heard of fireworks for many years.

Third Aunt is Wu Geng's closest relative after his return. Third aunt asked, "Wu Geng, where have you been these years?" Even said; "Travel around the world." Three aunts asked again; "Yiyi, have you ever been married?" Wu Geng replied: "Four seas are home." Third aunt asked again, "Wu Geng, why don't you go to your uncle and get the house back?" Instead, you go to live in this ruined temple alone? " Even said; "Don't take things outside your body too seriously. Let them go if they want! " Listen to the third aunt's cloud mountain fog cover and get to the point. Third Aunt thought to herself: Wu Geng is probably a monk, otherwise how could he burn incense and chant Buddhist scriptures for a smiling bodhisattva all day? But you have to say that Wu Geng became a monk and didn't see the scar on his head! An incident that happened in the broken temple in Wugeng soon made people feel suspicious and foggy.

One noon, the sun scorched the earth like fire, and the leaves on the hillside rolled up. The cicadas hiding in the shade keep squeaking and squeaking, which increases people's irritability. A few strong men who just sent Xiaomi to the market and went home were really hot. They climbed along the path with baskets to the ruined temple where Wugeng lived to beg for water. Wu Geng took out a ladle and pointed to a young man named dog and said, "You can all drink it, but this benefactor can't." Hearing this, the dog craned its neck and roared at Wu Geng, "Monk, I have nothing against you in the past, but I have nothing against you today. Why not give me water to drink? " Wu Geng said, "Listen to me, benefactor. Anyone can drink this water, but you can't. " The dog is very stubborn, grabbing the ladle in his companion's hand and insisting on scooping water by himself. Even grabbed the dog by the wrist, grabbed the ladle and said loudly, "Listen to me, benefactor!" " This is a secret that can't be revealed. I did it for your own good! "The dog didn't listen, broke free from the even, put his head into the water tank and had a good time. He also looked at Wu Geng and said, "Monk, you said I couldn't drink it. I drank it and didn't see anything. You monks are always fooling people with this secret. "I am stingy, even a spoonful of water is reluctant!" While pushing the dog out, Wu Geng said, "It's very good to be alive for a crime in heaven, but you can't live for a crime yourself." Please go! " The dog got angry again and said, "You monks are really unreasonable. If you don't let me drink water, I will kick me out even if I rest in your ruined temple. Why can't I see that you have a little sympathy? " You are too overbearing! "Wu Geng shook his head, turned and took out a pack of powder from the back room and said to the dog," benefactor, I'll give you a pack of medicine. You have to swallow it quickly, or you really can't go home! " "In a rage, the dog grabbed the small paper bag in Wu Geng's hand and threw it far away:" It's still early to die blind. Why can't I go home? " Lian shook his head and said nothing.

The dog waited until the sun went down. As he left, the dog said, "Don't you think I'm fine, blind man?" My home is less than five miles from here. I will go home soon! " "Wu Geng sent them out and told them," Let's go, don't stop on the road, otherwise we really can't go home! " "

You talked and laughed all the way, and when you walked three miles, you saw your village in front of you. Suddenly, the dog felt angina pectoris and he couldn't breathe. His face suddenly turned pale, and the other guys panicked, only to remember what Wu Geng said, "You can't go home if you don't hurry." Immediately let the dog lie on the side of the road and let a young man run to find Wu Geng. Wu Geng was meditating, and when he heard what the young man said, Wu Geng put his hands together on his chest and read "Amitabha!" Then he turned to the young man and said, "It's too late. He has already left. Go and help him with the funeral! " "epigenetic and don't believe, started to run back. When he ran to the dog, the dog had really returned to the promised land in the west.

This matter was spread more and more by several descendants, saying that Wu was prescient and could know life and death. Third aunt found the temple and asked Wu Geng, who said categorically, "There is no such thing as a god. When I grabbed his wrist, I noticed from his pulse that he had an acute disease. If the disease is hot, the gods can't save him. " But several boys who went with the dog said that they didn't give the dog water to drink from the beginning, but when the dog grabbed the gourd ladle, the dog grabbed the dog's hand. The dog must have known that the dog was going to die as soon as he entered the door, but he just couldn't say it clearly.

This matter reached the ears of Uncle Wu Geng. He didn't believe that Wu Geng really met any superior people and got any biographies. If he really had the foresight to know people's life and death, wouldn't he have taken back the house long ago? Do you still need to run to the ruined temple to keep company with the breeze and be neighbors with the sun and the moon? However, the appearance of Wugeng really worried him, and he decided to try whether Wugeng was as magical as people said.

Early this morning, Uncle Wugeng led his third aunt into his bedroom. He looked up at the quilt, and only a few sparse white hairs were exposed under the thick quilt. Only those muddy eyes that blink occasionally can see a living thing lying on the quilt. The living creature said weakly to the third aunt, "He is the third aunt, but I am not. After that, I closed my eyes and tilted my head to one side, as if I was going to die. Seeing that this was a life-saving event, my aunt got up and went to the fifth watch.

Three aunts just left, uncle's two sons came out from a side door with a smile. The boss said, "Dad, you are really good at acting. Even we can't see any flaws. Can he not be fooled by the blind man in Wugeng? " The second child said, "Dad, take a rest first. Don't cover yourself in a quilt on a hot day. " The old man shook his head and said, "If you want to pretend, pretend it is perfect. If the night watchman suddenly breaks in, won't the play be ruined? "

After the third aunt left, the old man lay in bed and dared not get up to eat. He just told his two sons to feed water once in a while, and to feed water once in a while, and not to get up and pull when they were in a hurry. Finally, when the sun was setting, Sanyi led Wu Gengjin into the door. Wu Geng sat down by the bed, picked up the uncle's left hand and pressed his three fingers on the pulse door. After a while, he stood up and said to his third aunt, "Prepare for a funeral."

Wu Geng's words just say that finish, the boss and the second child came out from the side door. Big brother clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Wonderful! Well done! Wu Geng, don't be so secretive. My father is not sick at all. He just wants to see how deep you are. I think you are more gullible than your parents. Dad, get up and call the blind man Wugeng to see if we should take care of the funeral with you! Hahahaha! "

Wu Geng continued to go out without looking back, adding, "Get ready to take care of your father." The two brothers were disobedient and wouldn't let go, insisting that Wu was scolding his father and must make amends. Wu Geng shook off his two brothers and said, "To tell you the truth, the old man was not sick at first, but he didn't pee in this hot day, and the urine poison has been used. Go and talk to your father more, or you will have to wait until the next life if you want to talk to your father again. "

After hearing what Wu Geng said, the two brothers rushed to the bed. The old man looked at his two sons with divergent eyes and said intermittently, "Karma, Karma! At that time, I designed and killed his parents in order to possess his property. I thought about many ways to die, but I didn't expect to commit suicide like this! " The old man stretched his legs and really died.

Since then, Wugeng's ruined temple is no longer deserted. From time to time, people come to see him, or look at the time, or measure the horoscope, or ask about the time, future and fortune, or ask Wugeng to "resolve" bad luck, but more and more people come to seek medical treatment. Those who have counted their lives only say one word "quasi"; Anyone who has had a rash has only one word "spirit". No matter how much money you have, you can give whatever you want.

A few years later, Wu Geng asked someone to rebuild a tall temple on the basis of the original broken temple, reshape a big smiling Buddha, and also asked someone to carve a pair of nanmu "big belly can accommodate things that the world can't tolerate;" On both sides of the Bodhisattva, there are couplets of "Laughing at ridiculous people in the world with your mouth open", which adds a bit of solemnity to the temple.

Wu Geng has a nanmu banner more than five feet long, which hangs in front of the temple. Although it was painted shiny, there was not a word on it. Anyone who comes to the temple should ask Wu Geng why a wordless pole is hung on the gate. Wu Geng just smiled and didn't answer. People have to call it Maitreya Temple according to their own hobbies, some call it the Buddha Temple with a big belly and smiling face, and some simply call it the Temple without words. No matter what people call Wu Geng, they still smile and never object or agree. Anyway, since then, the incense in the temple where Wugeng was located has been growing, and Wugeng's reputation has spread further and further.

Shortly after the temple was built, Wu Geng went to town and brought back a caravan of more than a dozen horses. The bags on both sides of the horse are bulging. The next day, Wu Geng asked Sanyi to find some clever younger brothers to help in the temple, and made it clear that there was no salary, just eating. Third aunt believes in Wugeng most now, so she called her nephews when she returned to the village. I also went to the temple to help Wu Geng cook. A group of people were so busy that they slept for over half a month in the middle of the night. The 20 sacks of medicinal materials brought back by the caravan camels were all cut and rolled according to the instructions of the guards, then wrapped in small bags and packed in sacks. Sangu found that all the medicines in Wugeng were the same prescription and dosage, so she couldn't help asking Wugeng. Wu Geng shook his head and refused to say. When she was in a hurry, she just said it was a secret that could not be revealed. On the day of completion, Wu Geng took out several packages of medicine and distributed them to everyone. He repeatedly said that the medicine must be put away, and drinking it when it is fatal can save lives.

After that, Wu Geng went to town twice, camel returned medicine twice, asked his third aunt for help twice, and gave them medicine twice. Third Aunt said, "Wu Geng, you sent us so many medicines, and you didn't tell us what the disease was, and we didn't open a pharmacy. What's the use of asking for so many medicines? " Wu Geng sighed and said, "Alas! There will be no shortage of Amitabha at that time! "

Half a year later, it will be the year of dinghai in China lunar calendar. There hasn't been a drop of rain in Fiona Fang since the first day of the first month. There was no harvest this year, and the grain reserves of all households have bottomed out. In the second year of Tomb-Sweeping Day, it was supposed to be rainy season, but it was still sunrise and sunset, and there were no clouds in Wan Li. People began to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. But the drought lasted too long and there were few wild vegetables. Soon, people began to eat leaves and bark. Until August, all they saw were shiny and bare trees, and the whole earth was lifeless. Some people began to eat "cat mud" (now the scientific name Guanyin soil is a kind of plaster sandwiched in yellow mud). Hungry people frantically dig holes everywhere, picking out gray powder from the loess layer bit by bit and taking it home as a treasure to drink. Strangely, people don't feel hungry or want to eat for a day or two after drinking this "cat mud".

A few days later, disaster arrival. Everyone who eats "cat mud" has a hard stomach like a stone, but he can't pull out shit. Some people were suffocated alive. Third Aunt's family also ate this deadly "cat mud" and suffocated to death. Third Aunt suddenly remembered several packages of medicine given to her by Wu Geng, so she quickly opened a package and boiled it with water. Unexpectedly, after drinking for less than half an hour, the third aunt's stomach also purred. Before they climbed to the toilet, all the soup shit was in their pants. As soon as the belly is loose, people's spirits get up. Three aunts suddenly get up from the ground, regardless of the shit in their crotch, and quickly take out a pack of medicine given by Wugeng, and each person pours a bowl down. The family was finally reborn from the door of death.

Third aunt remembered that her nephews who went to help with her last time also had this medicine, so she quickly let them fry it and drink it. In less than an hour, everyone in the village knew that Sangu had life-saving medicine and came to ask for it. Three aunts also set up a cauldron and cooked a bowl for one person. The people in the village regarded the third aunt as a life-saving bodhisattva and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the third aunt. Third aunt said that this medicine was given by Wu Geng.

The news spread like wildfire, and there was a long queue in front of Wugeng Temple. Hundreds of miles around eating "cat mud" came to Wugeng for help. Wu Geng asked the third aunt and nephews to set up three cauldrons in front of the temple. Drink a bowl of medicine first, and then take it home when your stomach is empty. During that time, people came and went all over the road, stumbling with their hands over their stomachs and running with their medicine bags on their backs, all trying to give up five appearances and become immortals!

Shortly after the disaster, Sangu and the people who survived rowed to the small temple in Wugeng to worship Buddha and make a wish. At the foot of the small temple, everyone got off the boat and walked slowly up the hill along the path. Along the way, the air was filled with the familiar, long-lost and peaceful smell of sandalwood, and the voice of wooden fish came from my ear. The sunshine is so beautiful and the breeze is so soft that the group feels refreshed, like climbing Penglai fairyland.

When they came to the front of the temple, Wu Geng had stepped out of the temple gate to meet them. Xiaoyu, with quick eyes and quick hands, pointed to Nanmu Daping at the temple gate and shouted, "Look, there are words on that Daping!" Everyone looked up at Daping along Xiaoyu's fingers, and the vigorous and powerful three strict books of "Jiming Temple" clearly appeared on Daping, adding a bit of solemnity to the small temple.

"all right! Master Wu Geng's temple finally has a name! " "Jiming Temple. It's a good name. The cock crows at dawn, indicating that the temple of Master Wugeng can bring light and peace to all beings! " Among them, there is an old gentleman who teaches in a private school. He looked at Da Bian silently for a long time and asked Wu Geng, "Master Wu Geng, who wrote this?" "Amitabha! I don't know who wrote this apartment and when. " The old man pondered for a while and said, "It stands to reason that this Pinghua should be written by a respected scholar of the government or the people. The words on the pole should be plated with gold powder and signed by the person who wrote the pole, but the words on the pole not only use gold powder or even ink, but also seem to be engraved with fingers, without the signature of the person who wrote the pole. It's against common sense! "

After listening to the old gentleman's words, Wu Geng thought to himself: People who can escape his great hearing in the dead of night and carve three big characters on this Nanmuping are by no means idle. Since this person doesn't want to leave his name, there must be a reason. Alas! This is just an apartment. Why go in? So Wu Geng said to them, "When I first built this temple, I didn't want to give it a title. I just take bodhicitta as the foundation, show great compassion and obey the teacher's instruction. Although I feel it, I still feel it, but I just can't feel it, so I have to cross people first.' Since the small temple has been named' Jiming Temple', I think this is fate! "However, Third Aunt knew that it was also the time when the rooster crowed and even came into the world.

After that, the incense of Jiming Temple slowly flourished again. One day, Sanyi insisted on leaving Xiaoyu in the temple, but Wu Geng still refused. Wu Geng said to Third Aunt, "Buddha and mortal, Buddha and sage are just the difference between feeling and fascination. The Buddha is not in the sky, but in their own hearts. Yi Deng can get rid of the Millennium darkness. As long as you are clear-headed and have sex, you don't need to be a monk. " But Sanyi and Xiaoyu are determined, especially Xiaoyu is determined not to go home. Third Aunt said to Wu Geng, "Wu Geng, what you said is too abstruse for Third Aunt to understand." But Buddhism is about purdue beings, right? Don't you accept Xiaoyu's meditation practice in the temple? Besides, you are blind, and the incense in the temple is getting bigger every day. Someone has to take care of it, right? Since you won't accept Xiaoyu as an apprentice, and I won't force you, let Xiaoyu be a mentor with you, without the name of mentoring? "Three aunt's words are very reasonable, and it is not good to refuse again. Xiaoyu stayed in Jiming Temple from now on.

After turning it over twice, the story of saving lives by fire and water spread farther and farther, reaching Xie's ears. He was a laissez-faire magistrate and was born in two lists of scholars. In addition, the county magistrate where Jiming Temple is located reported that the county is becoming more and more prosperous to Buddhism, the people are doing more and more good, and the stubborn people are almost extinct. It also aroused the interest of the newly appointed sheriff. He decided to visit Jiming Temple incognito with the county magistrate.

On this day, Xie Zhifu, accompanied by the county magistrate, only brought two bodyguards and a group of people wearing casual clothes to Jiming Temple to find out. When I arrived at the temple, all I saw were people waiting in line except pilgrims coming in and out. The magistrate of a county quietly told Xie Zhifu that all these people came to see a doctor in Wugeng. The magistrate sighed, looked at the three big characters on the plaque, turned his head and asked the magistrate who followed, "Why is there an inscription on this plaque?" The magistrate replied, "I don't know who asked. Can adults see what is wrong with this apartment? " "It's not inappropriate, but people who write flat questions are not only proficient in calligraphy, but also have extraordinary skills!"

A group of people walked slowly into the temple gate and saw a bald monk sitting behind an old wooden table squinting at illness. Xie Zhifu stopped and carefully looked at the blind monk wearing a gray cloth frock. In his mind, no matter what, he can't equate the monk in front of him with the legendary "God Monk". He even wondered whether people were spreading false information.

While Xie Zhifu was observing Lian Lai to see a doctor, there was a noisy cry outside the temple gate. A big man helped a middle-aged woman into the temple gate. The woman put her hands on her waist, her shoulders tilted to one side, and her mouth kept saying, "Ouch! Oh! " * * * pain. While pushing the crowd away with his hand, the big fellow nodded anxiously at the crowd and said, "Excuse me." Although they are dissatisfied, they will retreat to one side when they look at the unbearable pain of the woman. The big fellow helped the woman to the table and sat down. While wiping the sweat from his face with his sleeve, he said anxiously to Wu Geng, "Master, please save my daughter-in-law and take good care of her waist. How can you say that the pain is unbearable? " It may be broken. You have to help me save her. There is a nursing child at home who relies on her milk! "

Even after hearing what the big fellow said, he touched the table and came behind the woman and told her to stand up. Even reached out and slowly touched the woman's waist, suddenly grabbed the woman's waistband and pulled it down, suddenly revealing the white meat more than three inches wide at the woman's waist. The woman screamed like a pig, covered her face with one hand and got up and ran outside the temple. In the laughter of everyone, the big fellow paused first, and then began to chase his wife. Just as Wu Geng was about to continue seeing a doctor, the big man strode in with a big wooden stick in his hand and roared, "You bald donkey, how dare you flirt with my daughter-in-law in public and tell me not to break your bald gourd ladle!" Even stand up slowly and recite amitabha! He said to the big fellow, "Please don't be angry, benefactor. The poor monk asked you, why did you bring your daughter-in-law? " The big man said, "Treat low back pain!" "Wu Geng said," that's right. Have you seen your wife's waist again? " When the big fellow turned around, he saw his daughter-in-law holding the stick he had raised tightly in both hands, and she bowed her head and complained, "Why don't you make amends to Master Wu Geng? "Look, my waist doesn't hurt at all!" The man didn't believe it, but asked his daughter-in-law to show it to him in front of everyone. The daughter-in-law blushed and waved as her husband said. She is completely different from when she came. She said angrily to her husband, "Don't you think everything will be all right in a blink of an eye?" It doesn't hurt at all! "The big fellow dropped his stick, knelt down and kowtowed to the company. The worshippers in the temple and the people who burn incense and seek medical treatment smiled happily again.

Xie magistrate and his party also had a good time and laughed. Xie Zhifu stepped forward and sat down across the table. He looked at Wu Geng and asked, "Dare you ask Master, how do you know that this woman's waist injury can be treated by this rule of law?" Wu Geng pondered for a moment, stood up and bowed his head to Xie Zhifu and read an Amitabha, saying, "Thank you for condescending to Jiming Temple. The poor monk is polite! In fact, this woman's waist injury is just a difficult problem. According to her husband, the poor monk already knew that the woman's injury was new, not old. The poor monk touched the woman's waist and saw that her bones were strong. At the same time, he felt that the woman was poorly dressed. Therefore, the poor monk concluded that women are working people and will never be hurt by lewdness, but it must be a sudden sprain. In fact, as long as she bends down and exercises more, she can recover. But most women can't bear the pain, so the poor monk has to make this indecent decision. Amitabha! "

Wu Geng's words hit the floor, everyone in the temple nodded, and everyone called it wonderful. Xie magistrate neither nodded nor called it wonderful. He asked again, "Monks should worship Buddha and recite scriptures. Why didn't master treat people, but read the scriptures? " Wu Geng replied, "I am a Buddha who is merciful and helps all beings to get rid of their sufferings. Life has eight bitterness, and meat is the fourth, especially illness. Poor monks only accumulate small virtues for great virtues, and accumulate small virtues for great virtues. Isn't it the minimum to help all beings get rid of their pain? " Xie Zhifu asked Wu Geng again, "Master, what's wrong with me?" Wu Geng pondered for a moment and slowly replied: "The benefactor is okay for the time being." "When will it interfere?" "Three years later." "What's the matter?" "white!" "What is white?" Xie Zhifu followed closely and asked Wu Geng, who was still speaking slowly: "This is a secret. The benefactor just needs to remember that he will benefit the official and make sure that nothing is wrong!"

After listening to Wu Geng's words, Xie Zhifu was shocked. Three years later, he didn't believe there was any serious problem. In his eyes, most monks and Taoists are very different. How many people have really advanced to become Buddhists? But he didn't understand that his party didn't show any flaws when they entered the temple gate, but how did a blind man know he was an official? Xie Zhifu was still full of doubts, and Wu Geng spoke again: "Do adults wonder how the poor monk found out your identity?"

This is actually not difficult, and it does not require the efforts of extremely smart people like adults. Adults' hearts must be used to govern the people. You and I met once today. Please go back, my Lord. I want to relieve the pain for everyone! Please remember what the poor monk said today, or your life will be in danger! "

After beating chickens and dogs, Xie also remembered what Wugeng said from time to time. For the officials to be clean, the people of the Quartet can live and work in peace and contentment. However, after a period of peace, the magistrate felt that he had done so many local officials, and his health had not changed much, and what the monk said was not necessarily accurate. Gradually, Xie put aside what Wugeng said and never thought about it again.

Xie's relaxation doesn't matter, and the greedy heart of "three years to clear the magistrate, 100 thousand snowflakes and silver" unconsciously swelled up. Small greed first, then big greed, first yourself, then officials at all levels. A peaceful and peaceful rule has been turned upside down, the people are miserable, and all people are miserable.

Strangely, the more money Xie greedy has, the bigger his belly is. At first, he didn't think it was a burden. He really thought it was what his subordinates said-fat, but after three years, his stomach was like a small bucket, let alone walk. Even in the case of the former official, four big men were asked to bomb him into the plush chair after the copywriting, and he still had a dull pain from time to time. Xie invited famous doctors for treatment many times, but did not see any regression. On the contrary, it is getting bigger every day. On this day, Xie finally fell to the ground of his back teeth, and his stomach was cut like a knife, which made him howl like a pig. All the invited famous doctors shook their heads and quietly told his family to prepare for the funeral.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the county magistrate who accompanied Xie on his private visit to Jiming Temple remembered what Wugeng said "three years later" and the word "white" that Wugeng said in those days. Does this "white" mean shiny money? Is the strange illness of the magistrate caused by greed for silver? Thought of here, the magistrate gasped, scared out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help touching his stomach with his hand. At this time, he regretted that he had become a corrupt official with Xie Zhifu in recent years.

The county magistrate told the county magistrate what he thought, and Xie also woke up from a rude awakening. The magistrate immediately made a soft sedan chair, picked a few tall and strong soldiers, shook the magistrate's adult who was unable to howl and was still in pain, and finally arrived at Jiming Temple. The county magistrate took Wugeng by the sleeve, regardless of his face and identity, and begged and said, "Master Wugeng, the living Buddha of Wugeng, come and save the county magistrate's life. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! "

Wu Geng came to Xie, who was lying on the ground, bent down and pressed his stomach with his hand and said, "Amitabha, do you remember what the greedy monk said three years ago?" The magistrate looked at Wu Geng with dead fish eyes and nodded feebly. Wu Geng straightened his back, like a magistrate, like the masses, more like heartfelt regrets. He said slowly: "I am a monk, adhering to the will of the Buddha, showing mercy to all sentient beings, being an official, adhering to the imperial edict, I should be honest and clean, punish evil and promote good." Although the two paths are different, they will eventually be one. Buddha is not far from mortals, only one word apart. "Those who feel' Buddha' and' ecstasy' are all people. I hope the fans will return soon. Amitabha! "

Wu Geng's words, only heard the magistrate and his colleagues nod like chickens sucking milk. This is the first time they have heard about the difference between Buddha and man, and they have felt the inner shock for the first time. The county magistrate still couldn't forget his boss lying on the ground. He shook the sleeve of Wugeng and said, "Master, please hurry, or it will be too late!" Wu Geng shouted, "Rain is falling, go and get the needle." Then he said to the county magistrate, "Let's take this benefactor to the shade outside the temple and don't pollute the quiet place of Buddhism."

Too many cooks, a group of people, took the magistrate to the big tree outside the temple gate, and people walked around him like monkeys. Even told everyone to step back, bend down, pick up a two-foot long bamboo needle handed by Xiaoyu, and stick it down according to the navel of the magistrate. The magistrate shouted, "Oh, it hurts me to death!" " I fainted when I rolled my eyes. Wu Geng kept twisting the bamboo needle with two fingers of his right hand. After a while, there was only one inch of bamboo needle left on the navel of the magistrate, just like a freshly burned fragrant branch. Everyone dared not go out of the atmosphere, and there was silence all around.

At this moment, the bamboo needle on the navel of the magistrate swung itself. Even reached out and pinched the swinging bamboo needle and shouted, "Come out!" He raised his right hand and pulled out the bamboo needle. With a wave of the bamboo needle, the navel of the magistrate "pounced" and a yellow fountain was ejected, and a pungent wake-up smell suddenly spread. They can't help but cover their noses and step back.

As soon as this smelly water comes out, the magistrate's stomach naturally flattens. The magistrate opened his eyes and took a long breath. He sat up with his hands pressed, looked around and asked, "I have been to the underworld?" The magistrate quickly stepped forward to hold the magistrate and said in his ear, "Congratulations, Master Wugeng saved you from the underworld and brought you back to Shi Yang. Your stomach is gone. " The magistrate remembered his stomach, touched it with his hand, turned over without saying anything, knelt on the ground and knocked on his head at night.

Just then, there was only a scream of "wow" from the audience, and the smelly water from the magistrate's stomach spilled on the bluestone board, forming a white ingot pattern on the bluestone board. Wu Geng asked someone to pry this bluestone with a hoe and read Amitabha! He said to the magistrate, "Buddha, the benefactor is fine." Please take this slate back as a souvenir! " "

A group of people carried the magistrate away again, and really carried the green slate away. Soon this piece of bluestone with an "ingot" appeared on the wall of the magistrate's yamen. On the back, there were two big red characters, "Stop greed". It is said that no magistrate has been corrupt since then. Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce have their own things, and ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment! This is another story.

After this ordeal, Xie Zhifu and a group of corrupt officials were scared to spit out insatiable ill-gotten gains. Officials decided to donate all the money to Jiming Temple, but when they came to Jiming Temple, Xiaoyu was the only one in the temple. Xiaoyu said that the master has been traveling down the mountain for more than a month, and when he will come back is unknown. No one knows where Wu Geng went.
