XXXIX September 19
"Donor, although the old man is old, but he is not old and dizzy, the donor is the one who fulfills the prophecy," the abbot shook his head to indicate that Lan Susu was not right, "because the person who made the prophecy is me!" ”
"Master, do you mean that the person who made the language of the True Destiny Maiden is you, Master? But how did the master know? Lan Susu was surprised and happy when he heard that the abbot was the one who predicted him, if he figured out this matter by himself, there would be only benefits and no harm, and he must ask the abbot not to tell this matter, this secret is too important to himself, Lan Susu doesn't want to become a fish on the display board before he has complete self-protection ability!
"It was the Lantern Festival fifteen years ago, Lao Wei still remembers that night the jade rabbit was hanging high, there was no cloud in the sky, the moonlight and the stars were shining, it was a good weather for stargazing, I also stood in the courtyard to observe the starry sky, only to see the northern female accommodation shine, moved to the central Juntian, this is exactly the woman who will have a destiny to be born in my Fengchen country, to assist a generation of Ming Jun, in order to help my Fengchen country prosperous. So I presented this prophecy to His Majesty the Emperor. The abbot stopped and took a sip of tea, but Lan Susu didn't make a sound, just patiently waited for the abbot to continue to explain.
"His Majesty was very happy when he learned this prophecy, because the astrologer of the Qin Heavenly Prison of that day also made such a language, and His Majesty ordered the Qin Heavenly Prison to calculate the time of the birth of the True Destiny Heavenly Maiden, and after three months of deduction, the Qin Heavenly Prison came up with the prophecy that this female would be born on September 19."
"Born on September 19?" Lan Susu had a trace of doubt, "I still hope that the abbot will answer questions and give me some guidance." ”
"Donor, this September 19 is the day when my Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva became a monk, presumably the female donor doesn't know much about my Buddhism, so I asked the female donor to listen to the old man." The host saw that Lan Susu was puzzled and really didn't know, so the host abbot had the intention of answering questions and solving doubts, and Lan Susu didn't say anything, just looked at the abbot master seriously.
"According to legend, during the Xia Dynasty, there was a flat land called Miaoping outside the deer pond of Baili River. There was a nunnery there, and there were a hundred nuns practicing in it. At that time, there was a king of Miaozhuang in Shaanxi Province, who was very stubborn, stubborn and stubborn. He is the heirloom prince, and he is used to being pampered. More and more bossy. He had three daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Miaojin and the second daughter Miaoyin are all like flowers. In the early years, they all recruited Ma Lang, enjoying endless glory and wealth, these three daughters are wonderful, and they are as beautiful as fairies. is also dignified and generous, and has an elegant heart, which is very different from the two sisters. She does not have the demonic spirit of the eldest sister or the arrogance of the second sister, and has always won the love of the whole house by treating people with humility and compassion. But there is one case, that is, the marriage is difficult to fulfill the hearts of parents. Although she has reached the age of marriage, but with her parents' heartbreak, the matchmaker said that she broke her mouth and ran to break her legs, and she was so good that she didn't open Chrysostom. No matter if you are the prince of Weihe and the dignitary of Hanzhong, she is not moved. King Miao Zhuang was so angry that his temper glowed. According to his temperament, he has to marry hard. asked her what kind of Langjun she married, what kind of family she was, whether she was poor or rich, she chose it, and her parents depended on her. At the end of the persuasion, Miao Shan finally spoke, and she said that she would not marry any kind of person, and she would become a monk and practice. As soon as her mother heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and persuaded her tremblingly: "Three girls, don't talk crazy, like us, a golden and jade family, you are a prince, rich in the world, who is not envious, why do you want to become a monk and practice hard?" Or listen to the words of the mother, find a wishful husband, live with Hemeimei, and enjoy lifelong happiness, no more than a thousand times stronger than the monk's practice! "The mother doesn't have to persuade her, her daughter has made up her mind, and it is difficult to change it." Miao Shan glanced at her mother as she spoke, and saw her mother's tears. She continued: "This is also the will of heaven, my Dharma name is Guanyin, and I have registered in the heavenly court, this is also the destiny of heaven, mother, you will slowly understand in the future." "Miaoshan disappeared the next day, panicked Miaofu and made her uneasy, and she was busy looking for more than a month, but she couldn't see anyone alive or dead. The disappearance of Princess Miao Wangfu is not a trivial matter. King Miaozhuang couldn't afford to lose this face, so he became angry and angry. swore that even if Miaoshan Cheap Ni ran to the ends of the earth, she would chase it back and bring her to justice! Three years later, King Miaoqiang really visited Miaoshan's traces. It turns out that after Miaoshan left home, he drove to the east of Xiandonkey Mountain, there is an ancient imperial garden called Luchi under the Motian Ridge, there is a nunnery here, it is very big, there are ninety-nine young nuns practicing here, Miaoshan is very happy, just sit and meditate here to practice, create a foundation, and wait for the destiny of heaven. Miao Shanben and these ninety-nine nuns have long had a fairy relationship, and everyone is like sisters at first sight. At present, the temple is expanded, the tablet of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined, the bell and dusk drum are in the morning every day, the green lantern and the yellow scroll are deepening. At dusk that day, the lights exploded, waking up the nuns who were chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. Miao Shan took a lesson and predicted that there would be a catastrophe on the fifth watch tonight. Arrange now and wait for the move. Besides, according to the traces, King Miaozhuang took people and horses to visit Guandu Baili River, stationed people and horses in Antelope Valley, and came to Miaoping Village with soldiers disguised as mountain goods merchants to settle down eyeliner. It was found that the abbot of the "Guanyin Pudu Nunnery" was Miaoshan, and the other ninety-nine nuns were all young girls, all of whom were talented and beautiful. The old king Zhuang was furious, and took advantage of the dark moon and high wind at night, and set fire to the nunnery. Poor Miao Shan and a hundred other young nuns were reduced to ashes along with the nunnery. After dawn, he rode a high-headed horse, inspected the ruins of the burning embers, and then raised the whip to urge the horse to go. King Miaozhuang returned to the palace of Shaanxi, and on the third day, he started to get sick, this disease was really strange, rotten, corrupt water, lewd, and smelly. The house was busy up and down, visiting famous doctors all over the place, carefully adjusting and treating, and it was difficult to achieve results. A year later, King Miao Zhuang had been tortured by a stubborn disease to the point of being skinny and dying. It's better to live than to die. That night, a Bodhisattva sat on the lotus platform, holding a net bottle, floating to the front, so familiar. I saw that the Bodhisattva opened his lips and turned to a jade voice and said, "Good will be rewarded." Reap what you sow. Good and evil must be repaid in the end, and the grace of nurturing must be repaid. After saying that, he raised his left arm and floated away. When King Miaozhuang woke up, it was a dream of Nanke. Thinking back to the plot in the dream, I feel very strange, the Bodhisattva on the lotus platform is clearly the third daughter Miaoshan! But Miaoshan has been burned to death by himself, and he has taken the lives of ninety-nine young nuns, and the king of Miaozhuang is shocked: good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. He has been a king all his life, and he has done many evils, and only these 100 women's lives are already a serious sin, how can he get away with it? I have to wait for death. At that moment, someone came to the lady and told the story of the dream. When the lady heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Congratulations to the prince, things have taken a turn for the better." The Bodhisattva is like our three daughters, and he also said that there is a reward for the grace of nurturing, and this matter has a great origin. Liu Daochang of the Jade Emperor Temple in the east of the city has profound merits, and he is like a god, and I will personally ask him to make a hexagram tomorrow, and he will know the good luck. "King Miao Zhuang even called it a good idea. Mrs. Miao bathed and changed her clothes, dressed lightly, only brought two maid ring servants, took a four-person sedan chair, and carried her to the Jade Emperor Temple in one go. There was already a Taoist child to welcome to the scripture hall, burning incense and praying has been completed, Liu Daochang will take Mrs. Miao to the guest room, to serve tea. Mrs. Miao was just about to speak, but she saw Liu Daochang smiling, lightly relaxing the sleeves of her robe, twisting her beard with her hands, and said slowly: "Madame's thoughts on coming to observe have already been known. This hexagram doesn't need to be counted," Liu Daochang stopped talking here. Mrs. Miao was taken aback, and hurriedly urged: "Please tell me more about it," Liu Daochang said: "Your third daughter Miaoshan is a fairy in the lower realm, reincarnated in the womb, and cultivated in her true body. The South China Sea Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is her throne. Guanyin Master is a mortal fetus true body cultivation, with immeasurable merits and extraordinary deeds. Cultivate into a body with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. In order to repay her father's nurturing kindness, she also repaired an extra hand and an eye. King Miaoqing had a tyrannical temperament, killed innocents in vain, and burned a hundred nuns in vain. Although the will of heaven dictated, the hundred nuns were all detached and ascended to the fairy realm early. The corpses that were burned were all mortal wombs, and there was no hindrance, but they were sins after all. When Mrs. Miao heard this, her face turned white with fright, and she couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't help but interject and ask: "Then is my prince still saved?" "Madame, don't panic, didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva dream that there is a reward for the grace of nurturing?" The prince's illness can only be saved by Guanyin Bodhisattva. To cure the prince's disease, you must use a thousand hands and eyes to boil medicine all over the body, and a thousand hands and eyes can only be practiced by Guanyin Bodhisattva. "Then how can you bear to let the third daughter break a thousand hands and eyes again?" "Madam, don't worry, the Thousand Hands and Eyes are cultivated by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and they are originally things outside the body. What's more, Guanyin had already predicted that his father had this difficulty, and in order to repay the kindness of his upbringing, he repaired this thousand-handed eye more for the treatment of the prince. When Mrs. Miao heard this, sorrow came from it, and she left her seat and bowed down to the ground, and wept: "My poor third daughter! Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is merciful and compassionate, save your father! Mrs. Miao knelt down and bowed, and she broke the root of Guanyin's dusty love, and Mrs. Miao cried and complained, and immediately manifested the infinite mana of Guanyin Bodhisattva. At this time, from the Antarctic Heavenly Officials floated a piece of colorful auspicious clouds, only to listen to the sound of fairy music, and smell the strange fragrance, in an instant, the colorful clouds floated by, Mrs. Miao peeked, a slender jade hand on the ground, a phoenix eye in the palm, Liu Daochang was afraid that Mrs. Miao could not bear to start, hurriedly picked up the jade hand and handed it to a Tong, and ordered to gouge out a thousand hands and eyes to boil medicine, for the king of Miaozhuang to cure the disease. Seven days later. King Miao Zhuang was healed all over his body, and for another seven days, his body was as good as ever. King Miaozhuang took out a sum of money and built a magnificent Guanyin Bodhisattva temple next to the Jade Emperor Temple. Please Liu Daochang to preside over on his behalf, because it is Miaoshan's hometown, there are many acquaintances, and it is inconvenient to build a statue of the Buddha's body, so he has to enshrine a "Guanyin Bodhisattva tablet." After that, the king of Miaozhuang went east again with a huge amount of money to the Guandu Baili River, and rebuilt the temple on the site of the original "Guanyin Pudu Nunnery", and the first plastic golden body. Live out of a wonderful princess - Guanyin Bodhisattva statue. King Miaozhuang wished, returned to Shaanxi, passed the throne to his son Miaoxu, and his old couple closed the door all day long, hid in the back garden to eat fast and read Buddha Wei, and spent his old age in peace. Besides, when Miao Shan set fire to King Miaozhuang that night, he took all the nuns out of the mortal body, flew to the fairy world, and registered with the Jade Emperor, and ninety-nine nuns were assigned to various fairy palaces. Each has its own job. Guanyin went to the South China Sea to take office. It's just that there is still a period of fate with King Miaozhuang, and he is always a matter of heart and often worried. On this day, Guanyin was sitting down, and suddenly on a whim, she pinched her fingers and counted it, knowing that King Miaozhuang was suffering from a stubborn illness, and it was time for her to be born. That is, he dreamed of King Miaozhuang, and ignited Liu Daochang, like turning to say that he broke the heavens, and felt that Mrs. Miao worshiped Guanyin from afar. This made Guanyin take the opportunity to offer a thousand hands and eyes, cure his biological father's stubborn disease, and cut off this dusty relationship. At present, Guanyin Bodhisattva has not yet appeared, and no Guanyin statue has been set up in various places and temples have been built. Therefore, in addition to the fixed altar in the South China Sea Immortal Island, another place is the Guandu Baili River "Guanyin Pudu Nunnery" where she practiced back then, which can be used as an altar and a place to live, which was later rebuilt by King Miaozhuang. There is a statue of Guanyin here, which is enough to rest with peace of mind. Guanyin Bodhisattva's vocation is to help the people in the world. In order to purify sentient beings, she often comes and goes in the clouds and fog, and manifests her spirits everywhere. Sometimes she turns into an old woman, sometimes she becomes a village girl, doing good to others and cultivating virtue. ”
"I see, but what does the birth of September 19 have to do with Guanyin Bodhisattva's ordination?"
"Buddhists believe that people born on September 19 will be blessed by the Buddha, and although they will experience three calamities and nine tribulations, they will eventually achieve positive results and get their wishes."
"What the abbot means is that those born on September 19 are destined to have many tribulations in this life, and they will have to go through many things before they can get what they want." Lan Susu wondered.
"That's right, is the female benefactor going out of the house lately," Master Abbot nodded.
"Yes, Su Su has been in business since she was a child, and recently decided to go to the Snow Yan Country." Lan Susu had a good impression of Master Abbot, so he told the truth.
"Judging from the face of the female donor, it is better not to go out if the donor will have a bloody disaster recently." The abbot looked at Lan Susu and said earnestly.
"Su Su's matter will be dealt with quickly, I am worried about the master of labor, Su Su has something to ask for, and I hope the master must agree." Lan Susu looked at the abbot and said gratefully.
"Donor, please speak."
"What we are talking about today, please don't sue anyone." Lan Susu knew the abbot's ability, although he did not admit that he was the true goddess in the prophecy, but from the abbot's words, Lan Susu was very sure that the abbot knew, but he didn't break it.
"Lao Wei is a monk, naturally he doesn't care about worldly affairs, and the purpose of inviting the donor today is to tell the donor that he will encounter two catastrophes within three years, and as long as these two catastrophes are passed, what the donor thinks will definitely come true," the abbot did not promise anything, but Lan Susu knew that he had made a promise to himself. ”
"Thank you, Master."
"This is a peace charm that is consecrated after the old man prays, hoping to bless the donor." The abbot took out a peace charm and handed it to Lan Susu, who took it with both hands and thanked him again.
"Thank you, Master"
