Chapter 160
When he raised his head, the man had already disappeared.

The little beggar held the 25 taels of silver and looked around.

At this time, it was late at night, quite quiet, and there was no sound at all.

He looked condescendingly at the children who were still sleeping. Those were the younger brothers and sisters he knew when he was wandering.

They are young and have to hug each other to eat half full.

On weekdays, it is naturally the shouting of older brothers, younger sisters and younger sisters.

But at this moment, he was born with greed.

If... If he had the money himself, he would definitely be able to live a better life...

He wrapped the silver with the clothes on his body, and walked quickly to the other side of the alley, getting faster and faster, almost running.

As if the end of the road is his beautiful tomorrow.

But in the end, he stopped there.

He looked up at the sky almost silently.

Dark blue and almost black sky, only a faint light.

His family was originally a scholar, but floods flooded the fields at home, his father fell seriously ill again, and the family's money ran out.

In order to help him study, his mother broke his eyes.In the end, she was taken away by her natal family and married far away.

He didn't know where his mother had gone.

But when my mother was around, she always taught him: "Your father is a scholar and has the character of a scholar. You have to remember that no matter how poor you are in the future, you can't lose your integrity."

Niang said again: "If there is no one to help you one day, you will have to beg, and we can't do things that are unconscionable."

After the mother was taken away.

The ruffians in the village bullied him when he was young, took over the house, and even wanted to sell him.

He fell all the way here.

He turned around and walked back quickly.

Mother said, he can't do things that are unconscionable.

He ran back to where they slept.

The beggar who questioned during the day opened his eyes and looked at him: "You don't want us anymore."

He shook his head: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

The beggar stopped talking.

This matter was buried in their hearts and never mentioned again. In the early morning of that year, he wanted to abandon them, but he came back again and became their good big brother for the rest of his life.

They woke people up one by one.

The other three just woke up and looked at them in a daze.

He stepped forward: "Let's go, I will take you to live in another place."

He took them to the river, washed their bodies, knocked on the door of the pawn shop, and bought some dead clothes.

He took the children, bought a few big white steamed buns, and walked all the way to the outer suburbs of Hangzhou carefully, pretending to be a servant of a certain adult, and bought a few acres of land.

Several people settled down here.

Weddings and funerals, marriages, and children.

Decades later, one of their descendants was admitted to the Juren of the Qing Dynasty and became an official.

And in their ancestral hall, an unnamed tablet has been enshrined.

The descendants in the village heard from their ancestors that it was because their ancestors had met kind-hearted people. Because they didn't know the names of the kind-hearted people, they only set up a blank longevity ranking.

This is all very late.

At this time, Umalu took several people into Lingyin Temple.

In Lingyin Temple, there are many pilgrims.

There are aunts who pray to Bodhisattva to bless their daughter-in-law to give birth to a big fat boy; young and young women who pray to Bodhisattva to bless themselves with a good relationship; Bless, let my husband go out to sea to do business smoothly this time...

The seats are full of golden lacquer god statues, and the clay tires reflect the body, and everything you see is your own desires.

She looked up at the Buddhas and looked down in pity, feeling a little dazed.

She wandered about.

Kangxi came from a private server and watched her from a distance.

He once came here during his second southern tour in the 28th year of Kangxi, and named it "Yunlin Temple".

He has no intention of coming again.

But here she is.

Umalu stood under the tree, looking up for a long time, Liuli asked Yin Shuang'er to ask for a blessing.

Umalu looked at it for a while, then shook his head and refused.

Her wish is hard to come true.

So, don't ask for it.

Umalu smiled and said, "Please ask me, I'll take a look."

Yin Shuang'er originally took three blessing belts. Hearing this, Liuli and Liuli looked at each other, and they closed their eyes and made a wish devoutly.

Kangxi came over and asked her, "You didn't ask for it."

Umalu replied to him: "The most honorable person in the world is by my side. Why do you need God instead of God."

Her words like this always make Kangxi happy.

Kangxi smiled and said: "Yes, there is nothing in this world that I cannot do."

Umalu smiled without saying a word.

Liuli and the other two opened their eyes, seeing Kangxi coming, they hurriedly retreated behind Umalu to serve.

Kangxi took her hand, and walked with her, asking each time: "Why do you remember this place?"

"It's rare to come out, so naturally we have to walk around." Umalu said with a light smile, "It's nothing more than landscapes, flowers and birds. Temples, Taoist temples, and former residences of celebrities. So I came here to have a look."

"You are so transparent, life is less interesting."

"Yes." Umalu replied.

The two walked to the wing room in the backyard, where the guards and the presiding monk, Guan Tong, were already waiting.

The two were led to the meditation room by Guan Tong.

Sit down and drink tea.

Kangxi said to Umalu: "When I came back, it wasn't him."

"Chairman Dihui passed away ten years ago."

Umalu smiled and didn't speak.

Kangxi chatted with the host Guantong.

At the end of the chat, Kangxi suddenly half-jokingly said: "I have always heard that the great monk has great supernatural powers, knowing the past and the future. I want to know the karma between me and her."

Guan Tong, the host, was a little hesitant, but he still asked the two to extend their hands, and looked carefully.

In the end, he just clasped his hands together and pleaded guilty: "The poor monk has little talent and learning, so I can't see it."

Umalu looked at Kangxi and said with a smile: "It's just a small talk. The slave is quite curious about this temple. If he wants to go out for a walk, he won't bother the master and the abbot."

Kangxi nodded.

Umalu stepped back, and Liuli and several guards followed behind.

After Umalu left.

Guan Tong, the host, looked at Kangxi, hesitant to speak.

Kangxi said: "I forgive you for your innocence."

The host Guantong hesitated, and after hesitating again and again, he drove away the little monk, closed the door and window, and took out a box from the cabinet.

The box had three layers, with a small box inside.

Just as the Guantong host was about to open it, he pressed his hand down again.

Guan Tong presided over the salute and said: "Your Majesty, before opening it, let the poor monk tell a story for the Emperor."

"Please speak." Kangxi asked him to speak directly.

The presiding officer Guan Tong asked: "Your Majesty, do you know the Clavicle Bodhisattva?"

Kangxi nodded.

However, he seemed to remember one more thing.

He once went to Mount Wutai for the second time, and when he left, his imperial father sent someone to give him these four words.

Clavicle Bodhisattva.

It's just that at that time, the emperor's father didn't want to see the emperor's grandmother. He was angry because of the empress dowager, and he didn't want to go to the emperor's father.

This breath has been held for more than ten years, and it was not until two years ago that he gradually let go of the resentment in his heart and went to Mount Wutai.

He said: "The master just speaks straight, and there is no need to turn a corner."

However, many things in this world cannot be said directly.

Guantong presided over and said: "Clavicle Bodhisattva, born out of the 32 Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara, also known as Ma Lang Fu Avalokitesvara."

After Avalokitesvara attained enlightenment, she made a great vow to save all lost beings in the world.

In another land, the people did not believe in Buddhism, did not know etiquette, and rebelled against the Dao.

Guanyin Bodhisattva turned into a beautiful fisher girl, selling fish for a living.

Seeing the beauty of Avalokitesvara, the local men couldn't give up their admiration and obsession.

Guanyin said: "I am only one, how can I marry everyone. Because I love Buddhism, I only want to marry someone with similar interests. If anyone can recite the Buddhist scriptures I teach, I will marry him."

Everyone agreed.

On the first day, Guanyin taught them to chant "Pumen Pin".

After a day, half of the people have recited it.

Guanyin shook his head: "There are still too many people, it must be done."

Everyone said: "Then you choose a more difficult Buddhist scripture for us to recite, and whoever recites it will be your husband."

"You agree?"

Everyone nodded: "We agree."

Guanyin asked them to recite the "Diamond Sutra" overnight, and she would marry whoever did it.

The crowd agreed.

On the second day, there were only three or four people who could recite the lessons completely.

Avalokitesvara shook his head: "No, no, no, if a good girl doesn't marry two husbands, how can I marry several of you at the same time. I also have a Mahayana treasure "Lotus Sutra". Whoever can recite it within three days will marry me." give him."

This "Lotus Sutra" is thick and obscure.

In the end, only one man surnamed Ma, Mr. Jun, could recite it.

Avalokitesvara married Ma Lang as she said, but on the day of the wedding, Ma Lang went out to have a banquet, and when she came back, the bride died for no reason, and her body rotted quickly.

Ma Lang was very sad, but he had no choice but to bury the body.

From then on, Ma Lang often recited the three scriptures taught to him by the fisherwoman when he was free. After recitation, he also realized many truths.

Soon after, an old monk went to enlighten Ma Lang, talked with him about scriptures, and gave him advice.

And Ma Lang was very concerned about the death of his wife back then.

Helpless, the old monk told him, "Your wife is not very human, but changed by Guanyin Bodhisattva. If you don't believe me, you can dig up the grave and have a look."

Ma Lang was doubtful, but finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and ran to dig up the grave. There was no corpse in the tomb, only a golden clavicle.

Ma Lang turned his head again, but the old monk was gone.

He knew that the fisher girl and the old monk were all transformed by Guanyin, just to enlighten him.

So, after returning, he turned his three thatched huts into a nunnery, and enshrined a statue of a Bodhisattva, still in the appearance of a fisherwoman, and people called it "Avalokitesvara in Fish Basket".

Later, when the monk Can of Quanzhou heard about it, he praised it with a poem——

Plentiful and graceful, with slanted temples,
Earn and kill your husband and read Fahua.

After picking out a handful of bones,

I don't know whose house the moon will fall on.

In the "Pumen Pin" taught by Avalokitesvara on the first day, there is a record: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has 32 corresponding bodies, which body should be saved, that is, which body should appear for the Dharma.

Kangxi is well-informed and knowledgeable, and knows this.

Guantong did not take the host's hand away, but said: "Volume [-] of "Taiping Guangji" in the Song Dynasty, and the chapter "Lady of Yanzhou" in Li Fuyan's "Xuxuan Monster Record" in the middle Tang Dynasty tells a similar story. ...I don’t know if the emperor knew about it.”

"Please tell me."

If you have nothing to do, it's okay to listen to a few anecdotes.

Through the host in detail.

It is said that once upon a time in Yanzhou, there was a beautiful woman, and the local men all pursued her, went out with her, made out with her, and even asked her to accompany her overnight, but never refused.

A few years later, when the woman passed away, all the people who had been intimate with her felt sorry for her and paid for her to be buried together.

Because she had no home, she was buried by the side of the road.

During the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, a Hu monk came from the Western Regions and traveled around. When he passed by this place, he saw the tomb, so he knelt down, set up an incense table, burned incense and worshiped it, and admired it for several days.

A passer-by said to him: "This is the tomb of Nuchang Nvzhi. Why is Master like this?"

The monk shook his head and said: "The donor doesn't know something, this is the great sage. She is merciful in giving alms. When she was alive, she always obeyed the wishes of the worldly people. It can be called great compassion."

He said: "She is not an extraordinary woman, but Guanyin Bodhisattva. Seeing the deep roots of desire in the world, she turned into a beautiful girl and joined the female branch hall to receive guests. All kings and grandchildren are overwhelmed by her appearance. Once you meet her, the desire Pause."

"Because he has great magic power, he can naturally get rid of evil and delusions, and bring the world's lustful people back to the right way. If you don't believe it, if you look at it from the ground, its shape and bones must be strange."

People naturally didn't believe it, so they dug up the tomb and opened the coffin. There was only a skeleton inside, the joints were connected, interlocked continuously, and the color was like gold.

Therefore, a temple was erected in the tomb, named Golden Clavicle Bodhisattva.

This is a pure lotus flower, untainted by filth.

The so-called Clavicle Bodhisattvas often turn into beauties to lure others to recite Buddhist scriptures so that they will never have lust.

"Vimalakirti's Sutras and Taoism" eighth: "If you are an adulterous woman and attract all lusts, first use the hook of desire, and then make you enter the Buddha's wisdom."

Volume [-] of "Zongjinglu" states: "Yuanren also has a love method saying: "First hook with desire, and then make you enter the wisdom of Buddha. This is not desire. Stop desire with desire, just like wedge , Stop the sound and stop the sound"; this is what is called 欤. On the contrary, there are also men who "hook" prostitutes to "make them enter the Buddha's wisdom".

Guan Tong presided over and said: "People in the world are hard to let go of love and desire, and indulge in love characters. Therefore, the body of Clavicle Bodhisattva often appears."

Guantong presided over the way: "Although people in the world think it is absurd, the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" also says: When Buddhas and Bodhisattvas save people, because all living beings are different, they use separate bodies to save them. Either appear as a man, or as a woman, or as a man. The body of a celestial dragon, or the body of a god or ghost, or the body of a mountain, forest, plain, river, pond, or spring well. Appear in the body of a king, or in the body of a prime minister, or in the body of an official, or in the body of a bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, upasaka, upasaka, or even a shravaka, an arhat, a buddha, a bodhisattva, etc., to be transformed. The body of the Buddha appears in front of him alone..."

After hearing what he said, Kangxi took a sip of tea and asked, "You mean, she is the Clavicle Bodhisattva?"

"Come because of my desire?"

After Kangxi finished smelling it, he stroked the teacup in his hand and remained silent.

Guan Tong, the host, laughed and said, "Perhaps it was a meeting in a previous life, or a meeting in this life. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all your requests and wishes will be heard by heaven."

"Whatever the emperor wishes, it will come true."

Kangxi was silent.

Along the way, he has succeeded in everything, without a single defeat.

Although he feels that he is hardworking enough.Looking back on the past occasionally, I feel that every step is closely linked.But if you make a mistake, your situation will be different from what it is today.

 Song Lian of the Ming and Song Dynasties has "Praise of Avalokitesvara in a Fish Basket": "The preface is based on "Avalokitesvara's Induction Biography": In the 12th year of Tang Yuanhe (817 AD), there was a beautiful woman on the golden sand beach in the right of Shanxi. The woman said: "A concubine who can teach scriptures and recite "Pumen Pin" overnight, what is the matter." Liming, those who can be twenty. The woman said: "How can one body be worthy of all husbands! Please change the "King Kong" "Sutra", as in the previous period. "The able ones will return to half of them. The woman resigns again, please change the "Lotus Sutra", and the period will be three days. Only Ma's son can. The woman orders the marriage with the ceremony. At the beginning, the woman dies, and the death is erosion Standing dead, he died suddenly. On the other day, a monk and Ma Shizi opened the store to contemplate it, but only the golden clavicle bone remained. The monk said: "This Guanyin appears to melt your ears." After saying that, he flew away. Since He is one of the most chanting scriptures in Shaanxi."

  -

  Song Ye Ting's "Hai Lu Sui Shi" volume one and three: "Shi's book, there used to be a virtuous woman Ma Lang who committed all kinds of adultery on the golden beach, and anyone who made friends with her would never have her adultery. After her death and burial, a Buddhist monk came to the cloud "I beg my partner." When the clavicular bone was dug open, the Buddhist monk picked it up with a stick, and went up to the clouds." Later, the interpretation of the book became more and more beautiful, and the view of Song Lian's "The Complete Works of Song Wenxian Gong" Volume [-] "Avalokitesvara in Fish Basket" It can be seen from "Like Praise" quoted from "Avalokitesvara Induction Biography".Gai used it to lure young people to recite Buddhist scriptures, so the monk Can from Quanzhou praised him, saying: "The graceful and graceful temples are slanted, and I will kill you to recite "Fahua". '"

  There is one thing to say, Kangxi is really... the kind with super luck, smallpox... Obai, cutting down the feudal clan, and dysentery in the back, just... mainly a strong luck
