When Jin Yuan was anxious, he heard the empty monk say again; "There is a story in the Sutra of Wisdom and Folly about a brahmin who, at the instigation of his mother, insulted the bhikshus and cursed them in the name of a hundred beasts. With this evil cause, he was born for many lives, and he felt the body of a fish, and the head of a hundred beasts, which was unspeakably miserable. Instigated this mother of brahmins to also fall into the Infernal Hell, may I ask Huaiyu, do you think such a thing should happen or not? ”

Seriously, Jin Yuan has never been in contact with Buddhism when he is so old, if strictly speaking, the first time Jin Yuan entered the temple was the Fude Gong Temple, however, that temple can also be said to be the Land Gong Temple, but the scale of worship inside is very large, therefore, Jin Yuan is not familiar with the Buddha and the scriptures, so his discussion or argument for the first two great monks is just in the stage of listening to the excitement.

However, Jin Yuan still believes in Buddhism's teachings to persuade people to do good, but Jin Yuan does not agree with the great exaggeration of good and evil retribution, and it is a pity that he wants to open his mouth to speak at the moment, but he can't join the discussion.

Fortunately, just when Jin Yuan was anxious, he heard the great monk Huaiyu say to the empty monk again; "Attaining the path of asceticism, participating in the study of the Dharma only has unexpected benefits, I think that the ages of you and me, combined, have exceeded two hundred and fifty years old, I don't know if this is given to us by God, or by the Dharma!

Hearing that the Great Monk Huaiyu suddenly said such words, the Great Monk of Empty Silence was also deeply touched, and he said in a deep voice; "According to Brother Yu's shallow opinion, I think I can account for both of what Brother Xian just said."

Hearing that the empty silence agreed with what he had just said, Huaiyu pondered again; "When the teacher finished explaining the profundity of karma, the old woman stepped forward and said, 'Speaking of karma, if the good karma is retribution according to the Buddhist scriptures, not only you, the great monk, can become a Buddha, but even I, an ordinary old woman, can become a Buddha. Speaking of the great retribution of bad karma, not only will this old woman go to hell, but even you, the great monk, will go to hell!"

After Monk Huaiyu finished talking about this, he stopped, wanting to hear the opinion of Master Empty Silence, so he didn't speak, and Master Empty Silence saw that Great Monk Huaiyu stopped talking, so he said in a deep voice; "This old woman must not be a mortal, maybe he is here to enlighten the great monk of Jiangliu, I don't know how Master Jiangliu answered?"

Huaiyu wanted to listen to Kong's answer, but Kongshan not only did not answer, but said his other suspicion, which made Monk Huaiyu a little embarrassed, so the two of them did not continue to speak, but walked forward,

The road in front of him is getting narrower and steeper, Jin Yuan feels very difficult to walk, he sees that the two monks in front of him are believing in the reins, walking lightly and effortlessly, the two of them not only walk like a cloud, but also do not delay talking, which makes Jin Yuan a little puzzled, but he can't say why, maybe, in his opinion, the monk should be like this.

Although Jin Yuan felt that the road under his feet was getting more and more difficult to walk, and it had reached the point where he was tired and panting, he still did not forget who the old woman that Monk Huaiyu just said was and his teacher who was talking about Zen meditation, how he came to the temple, how Master Jiangliu answered him, and what was the result, did he stump the great monk Jiangliu?

Just as Jin Yuan was pondering, he heard the words of Monk Huaiyu coming from front of him; "I remember very clearly that my master said to the old woman at that time;" Everyone has their own karmic results, as long as they are dedicated to doing good deeds and have a Buddha in their hearts, why should they care whether they will fall into hell or ascend to heaven? ”

Jin Yuan, who was walking behind, heard the words of Monk Huaiyu, and immediately felt that his heart was like a Bodhi mirror at that moment, and he completely forgot why he wanted to follow them, as if he had also entered the world of Buddha.

In this way, Jin Yuan followed the two great monks, listening as he walked, although the road was bumpy, more and more difficult to walk, and the more he walked, the more laborious it became, however, Jin Yuan did not have the idea of stopping and not walking, nor did he want to see if Beng Niangniang was still following behind him, perhaps, Jin Yuan was really fascinated by these two monks.

Finally, the road under his feet was wider, and there were fewer stones on the ground, Jin Yuan could walk on the relatively gentle road, maybe he should get out of this difficult steep and narrow path, Jin Yuan thought as he looked up and looked forward, and sure enough, a small village appeared not far in front of him, but it turned out that they had already walked to the edge of the village.

At this time, the monk pointed to a well on the west side of the road and said; "Let's go, let's go and drink water, and keep talking along the way, which makes me very thirsty."

After the empty monk finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and dragged Monk Huaiyu and was about to walk towards the well in the west, but unexpectedly, Monk Huaiyu suddenly had a stirring spirit, and then said again and again; "Strange, strange, I seem to hear the master's voice, don't go west, don't go west!"

After listening to Monk Huaiyu's words, Monk Empty Silence immediately explained for him; "We often mention our mentor along the way, and just now you are still telling the story of your mentor, you must be missing your mentor very much, so you have this fantasy."

Monk Huaiyu listened to the explanation of the empty monk, shook his head, and said to himself again; "No, no, I seem to remember that when my teacher and I were about to break up, he told me not to go west at the age of one hundred and thirty, yes, yes, I remember it very truly, just now the teacher must have reminded me again."

Hearing Monk Huaiyu's self-talk, Kongshan asked in surprise; "Really?"

Huaiyu replied; "That's true, it's true."

Empty silence asked again; "How old are you?"

Huaiyu replied; "I will be one hundred and thirty next month."

After hearing this, he let out a long breath and said; "I see, please host Huaiyu don't mind, I think we are going all the way east, going to Penglai Xianshan to chant and practice, besides, you are not yet one hundred and thirty years old, and the well is only on the west side of the road, so, junior brother don't mind, I remember, after this village, there is no one in this radius of 100 miles, and it will be difficult for us to drink water at that time, I think we should go to drink water together!"

Huaiyu listened to the words of the monk and felt that it seemed to make sense, so he followed the empty silence towards the edge of the well, and just when Huaiyu had just taken two steps, Jin Yuan suddenly heard a voice behind him; "You are a stupid monk, you are a stupid monk, why don't you listen to the words of the master, you are really a fool, no wonder you can't remember all the things in your previous life."

Jin Yuan turned around when he heard the sound, but saw Beng Niangniang standing behind him, full of regret and helplessness, pointing to the great monk Huaiyu who had already walked towards the edge of the well, just when Beng Niangniang opened her mouth to shout something, she saw a pot-bellied young woman walking from the west side of the well, carrying a pair of empty buckets, and the woman looked at Huaiyu while walking.

Seeing this big-bellied woman carrying an empty bucket, Huaiyu didn't stop, but was dragged by the empty silence and said; "Why don't you leave quickly, while this sister-in-law has a bucket, can't we borrow a bucket to draw water!"

At this time, he saw that Monk Huaiyu's face suddenly became solemn, and he refused to move his steps anymore, and when Jin Yuanzheng was very puzzled, he suddenly heard Beng Niangniang standing behind him shouting loudly; "Hurry up and run back!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, a whirlwind suddenly hung up, blowing away the voice of Beng Niangniang's shouting, and Beng Niangniang was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

looked at the empty monk again, but shouted happily; "Sister-in-law, can you borrow a bucket?"

The young woman with a big belly carrying a bucket, after hearing the words of the empty monk, walked to the well and hesitated for a while, then put down the empty bucket on her shoulder and said; "Then invite the masters to come and drink!"

It may be that the empty monk is too thirsty, after he heard it, he dragged the Huaiyu monk and strode towards the edge of the well, at this time, the young woman with a big belly, hung the bucket on the wheel, shook the wheel and put the bucket down, at this time, the monk had come to the well platform, he saw that the big-bellied woman was shaking the wheel a little hard, so he said; "Sister-in-law, let me come."

After saying this, the empty monk immediately reached out to pick up the roller in the hand of the big-bellied woman, and the big-bellied woman did not give in because of her unfavorable body, but handed over the roller to the empty silence, and walked backwards towards the well, but unexpectedly, she stepped on the air, plopped, fell to the ground, and then hurriedly covered her stomach with her hand and got up.

At this time, Monk Huaiyu walked up to the woman who fell to the ground and was criing out with her stomach covering, squatted down, and asked; "Dare to ask my sister-in-law's family if the surname is Wang?"

The woman who fell to the ground heard Huaiyu's inquiry, stopped **, and asked; "Master, how did you know that my husband's surname is Wang!"

Listening to the rhetorical question of the sister-in-law who was holding his stomach after falling to the ground, Monk Huaiyu did not answer, the monk had already brought a bucket of water, and was lying on the edge of the bucket with his head down and drinking greedily, and when he drank enough water, wiped his mouth, and came over to ask Monk Huaiyu to drink water too, but saw that Huaiyu had already sat in front of the woman, and asked again; "You're three years pregnant?"

The woman who fell to the ground and held her belly in her hand listened to Huaiyu's words, and was immediately surprised; "Master, you are a god, you are really a god, you say it is not strange, others are pregnant for ten months to give birth, but, I have been pregnant for exactly three years today, so far there is no movement, I went to Lang Zhong several times, they all said after seeing it, the fetus is fine, the fetus is very good, and it will give birth in the month, but it has been three years, but there is still no movement."
