Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu, who were in a desperate situation, had not recovered their souls at this time, and they knew that their fate had been frozen. Ni Fu usually swaggered and couldn't live forever, but now he has become imposing, wilting like an eggplant beaten by snow and frost, and his voice is weak when he answers: "Boss Liang, no, no," As soon as the words came out, he realized something again, and immediately changed his name to Brother Liang. "Brother Liang, don't blame us, Wang Wenguang chased us from the north, it was Li Fanguang in the village who received the bounty from the boss of King Jinhu in Kyoto, and guided Wang Wenguang to chase you, I am just responsible for leading the way."

Wang Wenguang has always relied on his good martial arts to live in a humble manner, but at this dying moment, he is no longer a humble person, so he took the opportunity to start the conversation and said: "Yes, big brother, we were forced to come by order." You are an adult with a lot, don't get me wrong. ”

Liang Shirong saw them turn into such bears, forced a smile, raised his hand, and said, "You don't need to be so frightened, with me here, this tiger will not bite you to death." You two should stand up first, and then go into details. ”

Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu knew that their lives could be saved this time, the two of them lay on the ground, looked at each other, and nodded knowingly, but they didn't dare to stand up immediately, but turned over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Liang Shirong three times: "Thank you big brother for saving me!" Thank you big brother for the rescue! They did not care that there was a big stone in front of them, and because they used too much force when they kowtowed, they bruised the corners of their foreheads and got pimples, but they did not feel pain at this time.

Liang Yaofu deliberately teased these wicked people again, and then said: "Prostrating like this doesn't count. You should also kowtow to the tiger and thank it for not biting. ”

On this occasion, in order to survive, what people tell them to do, Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu will do something, and really kowtowed to the tigress three times, and said again and again: "Thank you Brother Tiger for not biting!" Thank you Brother Tiger for not biting! ”

The tigress didn't understand what they were talking about, but she stepped on the grass on her forelegs, opened her mouth wide, bared her fangs, and stared at them with round eyes.

Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu kowtowed to Liang Shirong and the tigress respectively, and then stood up tremblingly.

Liang Shirong asked, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Ni Fu's buttocks were eaten by the tiger just now, although the wound was not too deep, but it was bleeding, very painful, he covered his buttocks with his hands, bared his teeth, endured the pain, and said, "What should I do?" Wang Wenguang, anyway, the bounty is with you, and you will be in charge of today's matter. ”

Wang Wenguang's upper jaw bumped with the teeth below: "This...... This ......"

Seeing them like bears, Liang Yaofu's face sank, and his tone became stern: "Will you still come to hunt down and kill Brother Aaron in the future?" ”

"No, no......" Wang Wenguang patted his chest, let out a long breath, let the heart that was beating like a deer settle down a little, and said, "Fu Bo, this time, if you give me an urn, I don't dare to come." ”

Ni Fu was resigned, and echoed: "Yes, we don't dare to mention you in front of others anymore." Let's put an end to the grievances between us. ”

Liang Yaofu deliberately asked: "Are you two telling the truth?" ”

Wang Wenguang pointed to the sky, and then to the ground: "I can swear to the sky, I will never tell what happened to Brother Liang today, otherwise I will be hit by five thunders and will not die well." ”

Ni Fu saw that Wang Wenguang first swore a poisonous oath, and he was also vowing: "If we tell this matter, we will let this tiger eat us in the future." ”

Ni Fu's poisonous oath was really strange, and it amused Liang Yaofu: "Okay, if the tiger wants to eat you, you won't have to wait so long in the future." I estimate that after today's toss, you will use a sedan chair to carry it in the future, and you will not come to Shuangshi Mountain to do evil again. ”

At this time, Wang Wenguang's heart settled down a little, and he asked Liang Yaofu: "Why did you bring us to this ghost place, what is this place called?" ”

Liang Yaofu: "This place is called Tiger Pit. ”

Wang Wenguang muttered: "No wonder there is a tiger hiding here, it really lives up to its name!" ”

Ni Fu was shocked: "Just hearing the name of this place is strange and scary." ”

Wang Wenguang said to Liang Shirong puzzled: "Big brother, the tiger is extremely ferocious, how can he listen to you so much?" ”

Before Liang Shirong could answer, Liang Yaofu had already grabbed the words: "Some time ago, this tigress was also evil, eating a lot of pigs and cattle from our mountain people, and then fell into our animal trap, and was almost killed that day. At this time, the Aaron brothers stepped forward, persuaded everyone, saved the tiger, and slowly tamed it with sincerity and ingenuity. Now, the tigress and the Aaron brothers are good friends. Liang Yaofu said as he pointed to the tigress and two tiger cubs next to them.

Liang Shirong's words are positive: "As the saying goes, this is called good retribution, evil retribution." It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. When the time comes, everything will be reported. ”

"Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil." For Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu, this sentence has been heard thousands of times in the past, but today it sounds straight to the source of the heart, and I am deeply shocked! They nodded like chickens pecking rice: "Yes, yes!" Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. ”

Liang Shirong's words are like sharp needles: "This is the Chinese language of Buddhism, in order to teach people to accumulate virtue and do good, do not do all evil, and plant good fruits, there will be good rewards." ”

Liang Yaofu: "Yes, accumulate virtue and do good, don't do all evil, sow good fruits, and there will be good rewards." But you are doing the opposite, which is incomprehensible! ”

After this incident, Wang Wenguang was convinced from the bottom of his heart and said with emotion, "I have personally understood today's events, and in the future, I will do what is said in Buddhism." ”

Ni Fu also felt the same way: "Yes, I want to do what is said in Buddhism, accumulate virtue and do good, and do no evil." ”

Liang Shirong saw the change in their facial expressions, and also guessed what they were thinking, and continued: "If the roots of a tree are poisonous, then the flowers and fruits it produces will also be poisonous. The same is true of a person who is based on the world. Even if you are healthy, if your foundation is not right, if you have not eradicated the root of evil in your heart, you will lose the way of being a human being and cultivating if you pursue fame and fortune and take care of everything. If you live with meditation, you can look at everything in the world with a normal heart and walk on the path of happiness. ”

Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu heard Liang Shirong say this, as if they understood or not, and the two of them sincerely: "I hope that the eldest brother will enlighten us." ”

Liang Shirong took over their topic and said: "Actually, what I just said is one of the aspects of the Zen culture of the six ancestors advocated by Master Huineng in the hometown of our six ancestors more than 1,300 years ago, if you are interested, I can explain it to you in detail." ”

"Okay!" Wang Wenguang and Ni Fu said in unison.

So, Liang Shirong enlightened them in a targeted manner:

In China's traditional culture, there are three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. With Confucius as the founder and representative, Mencius and Xunzi as the inheritance and supplementation of Confucian culture. Confucianism first believed that "human beings are inherently good", and believed that human beings are born with a good nature, and everyone has compassion and compassion. The reason why there is chaos in society, the phenomenon of moral decay and serious selfishness, is that people's conscience and kindness have been lost and they want to get it back. That's why Mencius said, "Some people's chickens and dogs are lost, and they know to look for them, but some people's hearts are lost, but they don't know how to look for them. This led to the culture of morality, ethics and filial piety established by Confucianism. Therefore, we say that Confucian culture is based on morality, ethics, and filial piety.
