Among Yang Guang and his party, An Ruoxi stood at the back, and the old boatman didn't notice her before. www.biquge.info At this time, when she walked forward, as soon as she spoke, although the old boatman's ear power was not good, his eyesight was outstanding, and he saw at a glance that An Ruoxi was a female streamer, because she saw that the green silk on her head was all down, like a monk and nun who had become a monk and nun, but she became extremely polite, put her hands together, and gave a Buddhist greeting to An Ruoxi, Fang sighed and replied: "The nobles don't know, within a radius of several hundred miles outside Luoyang City, all Ding Zhuang are recruited by the imperial court, Follow General Dou to the border of the western frontier, the rest of the old and young women and children, in order to pray for the safe return of fathers, sons and brothers, all received the Bodhisattva's vows, and went into the mountains to practice. ”

The old boatman saw An Ruoxi's bare head, but she was dressed like everyone else in the same way, and it was difficult to confirm that she was a monk or nun who had become a monk and nun for a while, so he called her a nobleman.

Another Bodhisattva! Yang Guang was taken aback.

I saw An Ruoxi touch something from his arms, stretched out his hand to the old boatman, and persuaded him softly: "Old man, I see that you are definitely not a person who extorts money from others, you must have encountered some difficulties at home, and you are anxious to use the money, so it will be like this." If it is not enough, just say the number, and a few of us can get together and solve your urgent needs. ”

An Ruoxi was willing to take money to help the old boatman, but it was not entirely because he wanted to persuade and influence him in another way different from Jiang Tuozi, Yu Xiaoren, Zhang Xutuo and others, so as to achieve the goal of making him promise to cross the river today. Since she was expelled from the Jin Palace, in the name of Yang Lihua Buddhism stand-in into Wanshanni Temple to practice, in just a few months, in the essence of Buddhism to understand quite deeply, today in the Mengjin ferry to meet this old boatman, naturally the first thought is to remove the troubles in his heart for him, eliminate his violent spirit, therefore, will take out his savings in the temple for many days to help him solve the problems encountered at home.

Although the old boatman's ears are not very good, he also listened to An Ruoxi's words, looked at the hanging money in An Ruoxi's hand, and with tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of An Ruoxi with a "plop" sound, bowed his head, and praised reverently in his mouth: "The living bodhisattva who saves the suffering, if it weren't for my six hard-working children, how could I give up this old face and ignore it, stay here alone, and blackmail people for money." Ask the Bodhisattva to be gracious, and give more good words to the old family in front of the Buddha, and bless the whole family in the hometown with a day of peaceful reunion. ”

At first, he mistakenly thought that it was because the old boatman believed in Buddhism that he recognized himself as a monk or nun, and until he heard the old boatman's thoughts, he knew that there were other reasons, so he hurriedly leaned over and helped the old boatman with both hands, and asked him euphemistically: "Don't tell the old man, I did practice in the temple for a few days, but I have never heard of a monk who collects money from people to eliminate disasters for others. The old man must have been deceived by a traitor. ”

The old boatman first heard that An Ruoxi had indeed become a monk in the temple, and his heart was overjoyed, and then he heard her say that a real monk would not accept money from people to eliminate disasters for others, so he waved his hand at her again and again and said, "Bodhisattva must be cautious." I have made a grand wish in front of the Buddha to reshape the golden body of the Buddha in exchange for my six children to be saved from the disaster of blood and light and return safely as soon as possible. I'm 60 years old this year, and I'm looking forward to the children giving me more grandchildren. ”

Yang Guang couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed forward and asked, "The Bodhisattva you have mentioned repeatedly, but do you want to encourage you to engage in the Eighteen Arhats to kill Hu?" ”

Except for him and An Ruoxi, the others had never heard of a Bodhisattva secretly instigating the people to do something like the Eighteen Arhats killing Hu, and when they saw Yang Guang rushing forward and coldly asked the old boatman about it, they all felt confused, and they didn't know what Yang Guang wanted to ask.

Only the old boatman who was asked by Yang Guang, after hearing Yang Guang's question, showed a confused expression and muttered: "Didn't you say that the 36th day of the lunar month would gather in Chang'an on the eighth day of the lunar month to celebrate the Buddha's enlightenment?" How did it become the eighteen Arhats who jointly killed Hu? ”

I'll take it, eighteen Arhats are still too little, and there are thirty revelations! Yang Guang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Old man, do you know what is called an arhat and what is called an uncovering?" An Ruoxi asked the old boatman without moving.

"Anyway, these gods are all disciples of the Bodhisattva, who have received the Bodhisattva's decree and gone to the world to save the suffering."

"Even if that's the case, let me ask you again, which Bodhisattva is the one who encouraged you to go to Chang'an on the eighth day of the lunar month to celebrate the Buddha's cultivation and enlightenment?"

The old boatman was so anxious that he waved his hand at An Ruoxi and shook his head: "Living Bodhisattva, you are mistaken, I am not qualified to go to Chang'an to celebrate the Buddha, and I must be thirty-six people who have been exposed to this qualification." ”

When Yang Guang heard this, his heart moved, and he said secretly: This old boatman has clearly seen one or two of the so-called revelations, otherwise how could he say that the revelations are human beings and not gods. I continued to listen, only to hear the old boatman stretch out his hands and gesture twice, and said in a slurred voice: "I can't tell what the name of the Bodhisattva is, I have only seen him carrying a golden iron rod in his hand, oh, by the way, there is an iron lump on the head of the stick, according to the Bodhisattva, he is the protector of the Buddha, and he is good at subduing demons and eliminating monsters......"

The old boatman had actually seen the Bodhisattva himself! Yang Guang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked him loudly: "Old man, is this Bodhisattva you have seen a man or a woman, how old is it, and what is his appearance?" ”

The old boatman didn't even pay attention to him, and kowtowed to An Ruoxi and said: "Living Bodhisattva, you must know the Bodhisattva, please cut some money for the Buddha for the sake of Lao Er's sincerity to the Buddha." Lao Er is willing to go down to the river every day to catch a big carp in this ice and snow to honor the Bodhisattva. ”

Yang Guang was on the side, his nose was about to be crooked: listening to the words of the old boatman, he clearly did not even understand at least the Buddhist monks who were vegetarian and not fishy, and he was deceived to the point that he had to rely on deceitful people to make up the money for the Buddha, and he had never heard of the Bodhisattva teaching people to change evil and follow good, and today is the first time I have heard of a Bodhisattva who teaches people to abandon good and follow evil.
