139. The Ghost King
After the middle-aged monk left, I looked at Brother Haojie in front of me and asked him very puzzled, "Where is this?" Have you been here before? ”
"Hmmm......"
Brother Haojie nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then narrated to me: "I still remember when we entered the human skin thangka, when I was trapped in a room, there were some golden footprints outside.
It was because of those golden footprints that I survived until the time of your rescue! ”
After hearing Brother Haojie's words, I nodded and replied: "I remember you said that those footprints seem to be the footprints of the ghost king of Thailand, I don't remember what the name is, but it looks like it's quite powerful!" ”
"That's right, it's the footprints of the Thai ghost king Tabbhaga!"
Takivaga, is the late Thai ghost king.
More than 60 years ago, the land we are in now was very poor, not to mention that it was so close to the capital of Thailand, but the life of the local people and the capital were completely two worlds.
They can't even eat here, and in a rain-rich place like Thailand, this remote soil seems to be disgusted by the gods, and diseases are rampant, and droughts or floods are frequent.
That year coincided with the year of a great drought, and the crops were not harvested, and the people began to kneel on the ground and pray to God.
At this time, an old monk came from outside, and this old monk was very powerful.
Before he came, if the local people died the child, they would find a place to throw the child away, because of some folk reasons, people felt that the child had a lot of resentment, and if he buried it normally, the child's resentment would gradually accumulate and hurt the surroundings and his family.
So when the old monks came here, the first thing they did was to organize the people here and gather all the abandoned children together.
At first, the people were puzzled, but the old monk explained to them: "It is precisely because of the resentment of these children that this place has become like this, so it is necessary to eliminate the resentment of these children before we can alleviate the disaster here." ”
At first, the people didn't believe the old monk's words, but now there is no other way, after all, the drought here has become like this, and there is no good way to deal with it.
So, according to the old monk's words, everyone began to gather these dead children into a cave, and after the children's bodies were gathered, the old monk began to perform a transcendence for them.
During the excess, the old monk instructed the surrounding crowd not to come in unless he himself came out of here.
In this way, seven days and seven nights have passed, and everyone has been taking turns to stay outside, waiting for news from the old monk, but the old monk has never come out.
Just when everyone thought that the old monk had died inside and wanted to go in to find out, in the depths of the cave, there was a Sanskrit sound.
With bursts of Sanskrit sounds, the old monk walked out of it, and after seven days and seven nights, his voice was already dumb, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The old monk glanced at the group of parents of the children guarding in front of the cave tiredly, and sighed slowly: "Your children are too obsessed, and ordinary Dharma can no longer surpass their obsessions, so I need to stay here." ”
After these words, since then, the old monk has been here, built a temple with his own hands, and made all the children here into Gu Man Tong, chanting the Buddha every day to worship.
Strange to say, since then, the weather has started to change and there have been no more natural disasters.
Many years later, the old monk passed away here, and the people here made his body into a Buddha in the flesh in order to remember him. ”
Speaking of this, Brother Haojie's expression was also a little more solemn and solemn.
After listening to Brother Haojie's words, I already understood everything in my heart, it turned out that we came here to be the place of the old monk, and if the old monk did not guess wrong, he must have a deep relationship with Brother Haojie.
At this point, I looked at Brother Haojie and said, "The old monk you said is the incarnate Buddha statue enshrined in front of the temple, he should be the ghost king Takivaga!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Brother Haojie nodded and continued: "In my early years, in order to enrich my experience, I used to travel all over the world, and I was fortunate to come to Thailand to learn some skills in front of the old ghost king, so I am relatively familiar with this place.
What's more, the methods of making and worshipping Kuman Tong in Thailand are basically learned from the old ghost king, who was full of peach and plum all over the world during his lifetime, so if the matter of Kuman Tong is really investigated, it must be investigated from the old ghost king.
The one who came to greet us just now is the disciple of the Ghost King, and I will communicate with him in a while to see where the evil things that flowed into China came from? ”
After listening to Brother Haojie's call, I finally figured out why he brought me here, and at the same time, I felt a little more respect for the old ghost king.
After all, if something like Gu Man Tong is not worshiped well, it will backfire on itself, and the old ghost king's selfless approach for the local people is even more admirable.
In this way, my brother Haojie sat here for about an hour, and the man walked in.
After Brother Haojie chatted with him for a while, the monk looked a little puzzled, and then said something to Brother Haojie, because they all talked in Chinese, so I couldn't understand a word, and after chatting for a while, Brother Haojie said hello to him, and then led me back to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Brother Haojie's expression had become a little solemn, and he looked at me for a while before he spoke: "This matter has been investigated thoroughly.
The old ghost king had two favorite apprentices before his death, and these two apprentices had the highest understanding, not the one we see now, but the other one, as for the apprentice's name, I didn't hear it clearly, and I didn't even know this apprentice!
Because that apprentice had already entered the door of the old ghost king before he saw the line.
However, due to some differences of opinion with the old ghost king, the old ghost king made Kuman Tong completely for the purpose of purifying sentient beings and helping others, but the apprentice was completely contrary to his opinion and wanted to seek personal gain through Kuman Tong.
The old ghost king was angry, and after expelling this apprentice of his from the master, this apprentice had been heard from again.
Therefore, it can be inferred from this that those evil dolls and Kuman Thong were introduced to China by this apprentice! “
