Thirty-nine Bai Zhong unsigned

Early in the morning, a young farmer, Li Shan, shouted loudly for cattle on Caopu.

Bai Zhong snickered in the temple.

Jiang Gan whispered: "Be calm and wait." When he's tired of looking for it, you come back again. ”

A young peasant woman, Lotus Core, calls for cattle on a hillside.

A seven- or eight-year-old boy calls for cattle by the stream.

Lianxin was so anxious that tears flowed down: "Why are other people's cattle all there, but my cattle are gone?" Was it dragged away by wild dogs? I'm about to plow the field, but what if I don't have oxen? ”

Bai Zhong walked up to Lianxin and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, you are in a hurry like this, what's the matter?" ”

Lian Xin wiped her tears and said, "The cow is gone." How do you plow the field when the oxen are gone? ”

Bai Zhong asked again: "Sister-in-law, why don't you lock up the cow?" ”

Lian Xin looked at Bai Zhong and said, "Little brother, you are a foreigner, right?" Since ancient times, our cattle have been placed on this grass pool. You see, someone else's cattle are still there. Why is my cattle gone? What should I do if I don't have oxen to plough the field and miss the sowing season? ”

Bai Zhong said kindly: "I just came to your club and slept in Luohan Hall. Last night, the Luohan Patriarch came to support his dream, saying that your society has not improved recently, just because you didn't come to the Luohan Hall to burn incense. If you come to burn incense, the Arhat Patriarch will come to protect you. ”

Lianxin asked hopefully, "If I lose my cow, will the Arhat Patriarch also help me find the cow?" ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "If you believe, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe, you will not be spiritual." You go and burn incense and ask to see, sometimes it is very spiritual. ”

In the Luohan Hall.

Bai Zhong diligently led the lotus core to burn incense and light the fire, worshiped the Arhat patriarch, and gave her a stick.

The lotus core holds the stick holder and bows.

Bai Zhong saw that the distance between the lottery holder in Lianxin's hand and Luohan's hand was very large, so he said: "You don't have to kneel, stand and worship." Raise the hand holding the stick holder higher, bow, raise higher, worship. ”

The sign holder touched the hand of the Arhat, and the idol of the Arhat had a sign in his hand.

Bai Zhongxi said: "Yes, yes." The patriarch drew a lot. ”

Lianxin looked at the stick in Luo Han's hand and was speechless in surprise.

Bai Zhong took off the stick and handed it to Lianxin.

Lianxin took the sign and looked at it and said, "I can't read." Little brother, read it to me. ”

Bai Zhong took the sign and said, "Shuo rat, Shuo rat, don't eat my millet." ”

Lianxin said blankly: "It's weird. There are also such signs, but they don't hear them all. Little brother, you can explain. ”

Bai Zhong was also deeply surprised by this signature, and said embarrassedly: "Shuo Mouse, Shuo Mouse, don't eat my millet." …… Rats love to steal food, that is, the ancestor said that your cattle are stolen by people. ”

Lian Xin hated: "Of course it's for people to steal." This dead thief must be killed if caught. Little brother, where am I going to look for cattle? ”

Bai Zhong stammered and couldn't speak, and said while using his brain: "Hmm-Shuo Mouse, Shuo Mouse,...... Zi, ugly, Yin, Mao,—— right! Rats come out in the middle of the night and steal cattle in the middle of the night. ”

Lian Xin looked at Bai Zhong in surprise and said, "Of course it's the cow lost in the middle of the night, little brother, where am I going to find the cow?" ”

Bai Zhong didn't know how to match the signature, and followed the topic of mice, and said stubbornly: "Yes! Rats steal and love to bite back into their nests. Look for it in the rat's nest! ”

Lian Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Go to the rat's nest to look for cattle?" Looking for cattle in a rat's nest? Haha, little brother, you really love to joke. ”

Bai Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time, and he was already confident, and said to Lianxin seriously: "Yes! Go to the rat's nest and look for cattle. ”

Lian Xin stared at Bai Zhong with wide eyes.

Bai Zhong said proudly: "A rat's nest is a hole. The patriarch told us to go to the cave to look for cows. ”

Lian Xin asked in surprise, "Hole? Cows hiding in holes? ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Yes!" In the cave, in the cave. How many caves do we have here? ”

Lianxin said: "We have a lot of caves here. The nearest one is just behind the shrine. ”

Bai Zhong smiled and said, "That's it." The rat holes are all on the edge of the house, in the nearest place. Sister-in-law, go to the nearest cave and look for it. ”

Lianxin walked out of the temple gate suspiciously to look for cattle.

Bai Zhong walked to the Luohan Hall and said angrily to Jiang Gan: "Luohannu, how did you write this sign like this!" ”

Jiang Gan said proudly: "What, isn't this sign badly written?" ”

Bai Zhong complained: "What's good! The danger made me leak. 'Rats, rats, don't eat my millet'. Won't you write in plain water? ”

Jiang Gan smiled: "I knew that you were so smart, you would naturally solve it well." Just now you solved the sign in the front, and I listened to it in the back, wonderful, you solved it very well! If this sign is really plainly written: 'The cow is in the cave in the back mountain. When he finds the cow, he suspects that we are hiding in the cave, and then it will be difficult. ”

Bai Zhong turned his anger into joy and said: "Reasonable, reasonable." Anyway, I hid the cow, I know the place, no matter how difficult it is, as long as I make a brain teaser, I will solve it. ”

Jiang Gan nodded and said, "However, Luohan, we have to prepare, and they will come later." ”

Bai Zhong said happily: "They will give money to thank you." ”

Jiang Gan blinked and said mysteriously: "I will come to thank you, and I will also come to ask who stole his cattle." “

Bai Zhong asked at a loss, "Then what should I do?" ”

Jiang Gan had the demeanor of a master and said: "The mountain people have already made arrangements, you only need to ......"

Jiang Gan said in Bai Zhong's ear, and Bai Zhong nodded.

Bai Zhong straightened his clothes and prepared for reception.

Li Shan, Lianxin, his son, and many people entered the temple together, and the Luohan Hall suddenly became lively.

Bai Zhong stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked, "Donor, have you found the cow?" ”

Li Shan said: "The cow was found, and it was really in the cave in the back mountain. The Arhat Patriarch spoke the truth. Today I thank the patriarch for half a tael of silver. There is still half a tael of silver to ask the ancestor one more thing. This is a tael of silver, please take it away from the little master. ”

Bai Zhong was mentally prepared, nodded and said: "The Arhat Patriarch has a dream, and he wants to manifest his spirit to protect the people. Sincerity is spiritual, insincerity is ineffective. Ask the donor to burn incense and light a fire. ”

Li Shan burned incense and knelt down to pray: "Thanks to the guidance of the Arhat Patriarch, the disciple Li Shan found the cow." The patriarch once broke that the cow was stolen by thieves in the middle of the night. This kind of traitorous and wicked person has never been seen (seen) in the locality, please ask the patriarch to point out and understand, I will catch this thief and kill him, so that he will no longer harm the people in the society. ”

Li Shan worshiped repeatedly, and the Arhat statue won a lot in his hand.

Everyone exclaimed: "The Arhat Patriarch has appeared!" ”

Everyone clasped their hands together to worship the Arhat Patriarch.

Bai Zhong took the sign and gave it to Li Shan.

Li Shan took the sign, looked left and right, and said to Bai Zhong: "It's better for the little master to read it." ”

Bai Zhong took the sign and said: "It's a matter of heaven, and the shrine listens to the judgment." ”

Li Shan lay in front of the shrine and listened carefully for a long time.

Li Shan shook his head at Bai Zhong and said, "I can't hear you." ”

Bai Zhong said: "Donor, please bow down in front of the patriarch. ”

Li Shan knelt in front of the Arhat.

Bai Zhong took a piece of paper and put it in the shrine.

Everyone was silent.

The front tent of the shrine is covered, and only the sound of brushing pen and paper is heard, and the sound of pen resting is heard.

Bai Zhong went to Li Shan's side and said, "Donor, please get up, the ancestor has already judged." ”

Li Shan got up.

Bai Zhong opened the tent, took out the paper, and handed it to Li Shan.

Li Shan handed the paper back to Bai Zhong and said, "Let's read it for the little master." ”

Bai Zhong held the paper and read: "The mountains and forests are so big, what birds are there?"

Concealing evil and promoting good, the true meaning of Buddhism.

Turning evil into good, the Buddha has a long relationship.

Fight evil with evil, and repay evil endlessly. ”

Bai Zhong said loudly to everyone: "Everyone heard clearly, right? The patriarch said that we should hide evil and promote good. ”

Li Shan said reluctantly: "Then there is nowhere to catch the thief?" ”

Lian Xin said seriously: "If the Arhat Patriarch tells where the thief is, we can report to the chief and ask the government to arrest him." ”

Bai Zhong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no!" The Arhat patriarch said that it is necessary to turn evil into evil with good, so that the Buddha's relationship can last for a long time. It is necessary to fight evil with evil, so that the wrongs will be repaid, and the evil retribution will be endless. Now that you have recovered the oxen, no loss is creation. Don't ask again, and if you ask again to make the gods angry, it will be ominous. ”

Everyone was talking at this time. Some people say that it is necessary to ask who the thief is, and some people say that it is useless to ask the thief, and that it is lucky to find the cow.

Bai Zhong said with a cheeky face: "Good people have good rewards, and evil people have their own retribution, let him reflect on himself." The patriarch is to give him a chance to be a new man. Now you have seen it, the patriarch is really effective, lost the cow, come here to ask, the patriarch is now talking about finding the cow, the Arhat patriarch is really spiritual, isn't it? ”

The crowd said, "Yes, the Arhat Patriarch is indeed a true spirit. ”
