58 Harmony was born

At the foot of Guanshui Mountain near Fenyuan, Shanxi, there is a rich man named Zhao Baichuan.

His family's land was bought and sold extensively. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no one man and half woman in the near future.

Seeing that there was no one to inherit the huge family business, it made his sad heart like oil.

Sometimes when walking on the road, if you meet someone holding a child, you must go over to tease for a long time, and take out some money to give to the child's parents, and earnestly explain that you must treat the child well.

When Zhao Baichuan's parents were about to die, they looked at Zhao Baichuan with expectant eyes, and kept saying, go and ask the Bodhisattva, the old Zhao family can't be broken.

Zhao Baichuan originally didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but after a long time, he really couldn't think about it, so he held the mentality of trying it out, prepared the money for offerings, and went to Leiming Temple to offer Buddhas and children.

At that time, the Leiming Temple was being expanded, but at the last moment, the money was not enough. The abbot weighed again and again and decided to stop the construction of the Niangniang Palace. Use your money for other purposes.

Zhao Baichuan came out of the temple and saw that the craftsman was demolishing the foundation of a hall, so he asked the abbot puzzled: "What hall is this?" The abbot replied: "Send the son Niangniang."

Zhao Baichuan's heart moved, and he asked urgently: "Why demolition"?

The abbot said helplessly: "There is no money." ”

Zhao Baichuan smiled: "I don't have money to find me." Since it is a palace to send a child, not only can it not be demolished, but it must be expanded, so you can calculate how much it costs. I'll send it tomorrow. From now on, as long as there is no money, you will ask me for it, and no one will be allowed to fight the idea of the Niangniang Palace."

Coincidentally, on the third day of the completion of the Niangniang Palace, Zhao Baichuan's wife began to vomit, and Zhao Baichuan asked Lang Zhong to come to check the pulse. Lang Zhong pinched the ruler and frowned for a long time, and finally let out a long breath of turbidity.

Zhao Baichuan was taken aback. Hurriedly asked, "Doctor, are you okay?"

Lang Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Congratulations, this is not a disease, your lady is happy."

"What?"

Zhao Baichuan excitedly circled around the table, held Lang Zhong's hand tightly and said, "I didn't hear clearly, you say it again." Lang Zhong smiled: "Congratulations, your wife is happy." ”

Zhao Baichuan couldn't close his mouth excitedly, he stretched out his fat hand and kept twisting his thighs, muttering: "This is not a dream, this is not a dream."

turned around and urged Lang Zhong again: "Keep talking, keep talking, say ten taels of silver at a time." ”

The child is about to be born, and Zhao Baichuan has not closed his eyes for a few days and nights.

He stood outside the house and paced back and forth,

The midwife in the house: "Force, use some force" shouted, so Zhao Baichuan couldn't help clenching his fists, but he didn't know where to exert force.

Wow, a loud cry of a baby came, Zhao Baichuan couldn't hold back anymore, he rushed into the house, snatched the child from the midwife, and cried loudly with the child's cry.

After the child was born, Zhao Baichuan didn't care about anything, he took the child outside every day, and when he met acquaintances, he asked the family to look at the child.

On this day, he smiled and walked out with the child in his arms, and the child suddenly said, "Dad, don't run away, I don't have a name yet." Go to the Thundering Temple and ask Master Hiromori to give it a name."

The three-month-old child suddenly spoke, which scared Zhao Baichuan so much that he sat on the ground. He hugged the child tightly and shouted, "the child." Come out quickly, our baby can talk."

The lady hurried out, but no matter how much she teased, the child was half awake and half asleep. husband

People said angrily, "This child is only three months old, where can he speak?"

Zhao Baichuan was anxious and almost stretched out his hand in his throat. But the child just didn't speak at this time, and no matter how he explained, his wife didn't believe it, so she had to say angrily, "I won't tell you stupid girl." I asked Master Hiromori to name the child. ”

Leiming Temple is located on the half-slope of the back mountain, there is a heavenly pond on the top of the mountain, the water of the heavenly pond gushes out from the cave next to the Leiming Temple along the secret road, the sound is deafening like thunder. That's why this temple is called Thundering Temple.

As soon as Zhao Baichuan entered the mountain gate, the abbot of Guangsen came out with all the monks.

Zhao Baichuan said in surprise: "Abbot, are you here to greet me? With my identity, there is no need for such pomp." ”

Hiromori looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "The hour is not bad, where is the nobleman?"

Zhao Baichuan also looked back, and there was no one on the mountain road in the distance.

was confused, the abbot suddenly rushed forward, tore off the child's clothes, carefully looked at the two seal prints on the child's back, and laughed: "Yuanrong, Yuanrong, I didn't expect the noble person to be you?"

Zhao Baichuan hurriedly covered the child's clothes, and complained in his mouth: "What are you doing undressing? Don't freeze the child." ”

When he came to the chamber, Zhao Baichuan excitedly told the story of the three-month-old child who could speak and asked Master Guangsen to name himself.

Guangsen smiled: "This is a coincidence, last night, the Bodhisattva dreamed that a noble person with the seal of heaven came to visit and asked me to come out of the temple to greet me. The two seals on your son's back are pronounced as harmony. Since everything is predestined, the child's name is still Yuanrong. ”

After thanking him for his kindness, Zhao Baichuan walked out of the temple with Yuanrong in his arms.

By this time it was getting late. Xiao Yuanrong whispered, "Dad, let's talk, shall we?"

Zhao Baichuan said angrily: "Why don't you speak when there are people, my father is so old, he gave birth to such a baby as you, but he doesn't even have a chance to show off." ”

Xiao Yuanrong grinned toothlessly and said, "I'm not an ordinary person, it's only because my father is an understanding person that I show my magic skills." Surprise Daddy. If fools and fools are allowed to see such strange things, they will surely spread falsehoods. As a result, a good immortal descended to earth and turned it into a ghost. ”

Zhao Baichuan hugged his son tightly and asked, "Don't even your mother let you know?"

Xiao Yuanrong nodded vigorously and said, "My mother's show-off heart is more than yours, and if you don't let her go outside to talk about some things, you will suffocate her." For example, this incident is happening right in front of you. If you don't let my mother say, how can she bear it?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Baichuan looked around suspiciously, only to see a group of skinny wolves rushing out of the forest in front of him, chasing a leopard to the death, the leopard rushed left and right to see that it was invincible, and it happened that there was a big tree next to him, and the leopard took advantage of the air to climb the big tree, lying prone between the branches and gasping.

The wolves seemed to be hungry and desperately wanted to hunt the leopards for a full meal, but they didn't expect to fail at the last moment. The wolf's eyes were red, and he craned his neck and roared at the mountains.

It slowly turned around, just in time to see Zhao Baichuan standing in the distance with a child in his arms. They are staring at each other in a daze. The head wolf called out excitedly and led the wolves towards Zhao Baichuan.

This frightened Zhao Baichuan. He tried to escape, but his feet kept flipping, but he couldn't take a step. There was a small tree next to it, and Zhao Baichuan also wanted to imitate the leopard and put the child on the branch.

The child's little hand grabbed Zhao Baichuan's placket, and said with a smile: "Dad, the little tree is so short, isn't it the same as putting me on the ground?"

The wolves are in sight. Zhao Baichuan hugged the child tightly and closed his eyes in despair,

The head wolf bared his teeth and just wanted to pounce, but a faint and soft yellow light appeared in Zhao Baichuan's arms. The head wolf slowly stopped, it stopped the wolves, put away its fierce appearance, and meekly fell to the ground, whimpering incessantly.

Yuan Rong patted Zhao Baichuan's chest with his little hand and said: "Dad, let's go, let the wolf carry the burden for you, and when you get home, you take some bones and meat to feed them, and two she-wolves are pregnant with babies." If you treat them well today, they will fight to protect my younger brothers and sisters in the future."

Zhao Baichuan opened his eyes and saw the wolves lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up. He threw away his burden and fled with the child in his arms.

The head wolf picked up his baggage and followed closely. Zhao Baichuan ran home in despair, and let people plug in the latch. Then go back to the room and put the child on the bed. I just wanted to take a breath and sort out my thoughts. The boy kicked him with his chubby foot and said, "Where's the meat, Daddy, go feed them." ”

Zhao Baichuan went to the kitchen and picked up half a fan of pork, trembling and climbing up the wall, seeing the wolves crawling to the ground, looking at the door of his house expectantly.

Zhao Baichuan closed his eyes, threw the pork down, and the wolves cried out. After a while, the ground was clean, and there was not even a single bone. Zhao Baichuan was dumbfounded, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen again, and put the beef, chicken and other large pots. It was busy until the hour of the child, and the wolves slowly dispersed after they had eaten enough.

Since then, the wolves have come every ten days to ask for some meat. Zhao Baichuan did his best to provide for it, and when he was familiar with the wolves, he could pat and play with them, but these wolves suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Baichuan was stunned. When no one was around, he asked his son: "Baby, you said that day that if I treat the wolves well, they will fight to protect your younger brothers and sisters in the future." My family's heirs are very difficult, they are passed down from generation to generation, and they are almost disconnected in my generation, with you, I am very satisfied, and you will have younger brothers and sisters?"

Xiao Yuanrong smiled: "Dad, my coming to our house is just an introduction, after I come, Longfeng Chengxiang will also be reincarnated here within three years." Only then will I be able to become a monk with peace of mind. ”

Zhao Baichuan picked him up and said in surprise: "No, you are my father's lifeline, I don't allow you to become a monk." ”

Yuanrong thought for a long time before saying, "I came to the world, all thanks to the Buddha's fate, and after I gave up my life to become a monk, I am the master of Yuanrong." Even immortals with earth-shaking abilities will come to bow down and obey orders. If you are greedy for red dust and stay by your father's side, you can only live to be five years old at most. Dad, you're thinking about it. ”

Things turned out to be as Yuan Rong said, two years later, Zhao Baichuan's wife went through hardships and died, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

After the full moon, Zhao Baichuan was grinning with a child in one hand, Xiao Yuanrong beckoned to Zhao Baichuan outside, Zhao Baichuan's heart sank, put down the child and came to the courtyard.

He leaned down to pick up Yuanrong, and said lovingly: "Baby, I'm sorry, I was only busy with your younger brothers and sisters, and I snubbed you." ”

Yuan Rong combed Zhao Baichuan's gray hair with his fingers and said, "Dad, it's not easy for you." My son knows that you love me, but it is my destiny to become a monk. Every time I revert to the world, I have to become a monk once. Otherwise, my parents will be killed, so please send me to the Thundering Temple tomorrow. Listen to my name, Yuanrong, isn't this a Dharma name?"
