Chapter Ninety-Six: The Journey to the Dragon Gate
The air is clear, the breeze is gentle, and the sun pours on the land, revealing mottled shadows.
After visiting the Shaolin Temple for two days, Runzhi has many new views on the many scenes of the Shaolin Temple.
Before leaving Shaolin Temple, Runzhi sent a document to invite the new magistrate of Shaolin Temple, a young man named Zhifu to Shaolin Temple, and the two of them were in Shaolin Temple, carefully examining the two people who looked like farmers who tried to kill the abbot on the way, plus Cheng Hanyun's trial for several days.
The ins and outs of this matter finally gradually surfaced.
It turned out that the two brothers had a family heirloom, which was a Buddha statue made of gold, because the brother married a wife for some reason, married for a few years, and still could not produce a child, so the two chose a good day, specially prepared a boiled mutton offering, came to Shaolin Temple to burn incense, and asked for a child from the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It turned out that the person in charge of this Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva Three Heroes Treasure Hall was an apprentice of Master Huitong, whose Dharma name was Huitong, and was a butcher before becoming a monk, because he listened to the words of a local nun named Huixue, who killed too much in this life, and sinned deeply, and after death, he will be the fourth layer of the eighteen layers of hell today.
The nun told him that there were countless poisonous snakes here, and they would crush the souls of those who had killed too much in front of them every other hour, and suddenly the soul was so painful that it would last for 99,810,000 years, and then they would be reincarnated as dogs and tortured to death for humans thousands of times.
Hearing the nun's words, this butcher, who was called Feng Siyuan before becoming a monk, was completely frightened, almost his grandfather had a splitting headache, and he didn't think about tea and dinner.
So finally before going completely crazy, finally under the persuasion of a high monk, into the Buddhist door, the monk told him, although the nun is true, but the Buddhist scriptures, put down the butcher knife, stand on the ground to become a Buddha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back is the shore, as long as it is sincere and want to repent, the Buddha will open the net.
So this Feng Siyuan has followed the monk since then, and this monk is naturally the current abbot, Master Huitong.
Master Huitong gave him a personal gradient and gave him the Dharma name Huitong, known as Master Huitong, and later because of his higher qualifications, he served as the elder of the Three Heroes Treasure Hall of the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, specializing in seeking children, seeking wealth and other activities related to the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At the beginning, this Master Huitong was still very dedicated, and deliberately cleaned this treasure hall to make the windows bright and clean, and the Buddha statue was molded several times gold, which looked brilliant and very beautiful.
It was only later that the number of people who came to ask for children with the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva gradually increased, so this Master Huitong had bad intentions and committed adultery with those young and beautiful daughters-in-law who came to ask for children more than once, and called it "the Buddha gave children".
That's it, I actually have to inch in, and release the news to some farmers, the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to take a bath, that is, plastic gold, as long as the objects made of gold at home are taken and dedicated to the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, less than three years, the wealth of the wealthy, the son of the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Plastic gold is the term used by monks to decorate Buddha statues, that is, to make a thin layer of gold, smear on the surface of the Buddha statue, and after it dries, it will naturally look golden.
Naturally, the two Wang brothers listened to the lie of Master Huitong, and in order to let their wives at home give birth, they deliberately concealed from the rest of the family and "dedicated this Buddha statue made of gold to the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva" for free, and naturally they all ended up in this Huitong's pocket.
But three years later, the daughter-in-law of the two brothers still has no children.
During this period, the monk Huitong once asked to meet the two daughters-in-law alone, because "the great compassion and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva will open the light, and he will have a child".
I never thought that after the two daughters-in-law came back, one of them cried late at night and told the two brothers that it was this Venerable Huitong who first flattered and offered his hospitality in front of the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then tore her clothes and forcibly asked her.
The two brothers were skeptical, and they both expected that they could give birth to a child in the remaining three years, and they didn't want to be born after three years, and they still hadn't given birth.
So every three or five came up to Shaolin Temple to make trouble, and asked the Huitong monk to return their ancestral treasures, the Huitong monk had already sold it, and spent it on several wives in the neighboring villages, where was there any left, and it had to be pushed that the abbot Huitong asked him to do this, he was just acting on orders, and the baby was also with Huitong.
So the two brothers were in a hurry, so they had to come directly to the abbot Master Huitong to fight hard.
Runzhi then tried to find out the whereabouts of this ancestral treasure, and then ordered Shaolin Temple to buy it back, returned it to the two brothers, and compensated the two brothers with five hundred taels of silver, which was enough to marry several new daughters-in-law, and naturally there were many left.
Runzhi told the two to buy some land, live well, if there is anything, you can directly find the county order, the county order is naturally agreed, the two knelt on the ground, buckled their heads three times in a row, touched their foreheads with blood, and then gratefully left.
Naturally, the county commander of Runzhi Ling took down this Huitong master on the spot, stripped off his clothes in front of many monks, and beat him with a special barbed stick with thirty sticks, beating the monk to death, castrating it, and throwing it into an iron cage, so that many hungry tigers tore it and ate it.
Runzhi also ordered the county order to confiscate all the remaining finances of this mage, and used all his adopted sons and women as official slaves, and left a servant to stay in the county as a servant, and regularly checked the financial situation of Shaolin Temple with the county commander.
For a time, Shaolin Temple from top to bottom, all of them clapped their hands, such a style, it is impossible to think about it anymore.
After dealing with this matter, Runzhi took the group to re-embark on the journey to the Kaifeng Mansion in Henan.
Kaifeng, Henan Province is still hundreds of kilometers away from this Shaolin Temple, and it will take a few weeks all the way, because it is gradually closer to the destination, and the group continues to continue the previous practice, concentrating on the road, but encountering places of interest along the way, it is natural to squeeze out time to go to a visit, and there is a lot of harvest every time.
On this day, everyone came to a new place, this place is Luoyang, which was once the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty and once gave birth to the most splendid history of China.
Although it is no longer the capital of China, the people still have the unique noble atmosphere of the capital, bringing people and things, and there are many relics of the Tang Dynasty, which makes people feel emotional.
I think that there is also a famous scenic spot in China, because it is located in Luoyang Longmen, and most of them are mainly grottoes, because people call them Longmen Grottoes.
