【Short Story】Golden Buddha Statue

In the feudal dynasty, I don't know which feudal dynasty, there is a very remote town, where the people do not believe in Buddhism, but there is a well-cultivated temple located in the middle of the city.

There is a golden Buddha in the temple, and it is natural to settle in such a small place, and the Buddha statue is only plated with a layer of gold.

Outside the city, people starved to death every day, and the victims who had fled from elsewhere looked from afar as if they could break through the gates and then eat up the small city.

At first, the kind old lord allowed the victims to settle in the city, but there were too many people to support the small town, and the lord was stoned to death and eaten by some hungry guy when he went out for a walk.

The old lord died, and his son succeeded him. As soon as the new city lord remembered that his father had been eaten by these hungry ghosts, he became hysterical, and he drove all the victims out, and closed the gates of the city, never to open them again.

Even so, more and more people gathered outside, all of them skinny and skinny, looking like a bunch of skeletons with skin. Every day, he opened his eyes wide, his mouth open, his tongue was exposed, and his head was facing the city, like a dense mass of maggots staring at large pieces of carrion, but they were separated by a wall.

The new city owner is a young man who spends money and indulges in pleasure. The family's money was quickly lost, and he ran out of money, and he wanted to increase the taxes of the city's residents to earn money.

One of his servants offered a plan: "Those victims have treasures in their hands, and if we exchange a little rice for them, they will certainly give us their possessions." ”

The new city owner felt that it made sense. So the next day he sent some of his servants to wear armor and go out of the city to sell grain.

At first, the victims wanted to rob directly, but after a few died, they were settled. One by one, they took out the gold, silver, and heirlooms they had always brought with them and exchanged them for a few handfuls of rice.

The new city lord soon became rich, and he continued to live a life of spending all day and drinking, drunk and golden.

At first, the victims outside the city survived for a few days by exchanging their belongings for food, but the treasures they had brought with them were soon exhausted, and they began to engage in cannibalism again.

In the temple in the center of the city, a child dressed as a monk was pretending to recite scriptures. He was originally a victim of the disaster in the city, but he hid in the temple and was taken in by the abbot, so he was not driven away.

The abbot passed away, and he took care of the temple alone.

Every day he would go to an inconspicuous puppy hole by the city gate and look through the dog hole.

His father and mother were eaten, and in order to prevent him from being eaten, he heard the child's wailing outside, and knew who was eating the child again.

The little monk drilled back and returned to the temple. He looked at the golden Buddha statue, and the golden Buddha statue looked at him. He said to the Buddha statue, "You must be compassionate. ”

He finally got the idea of a golden Buddha statue.

The next day, some of the victims picked up a large patch of gold leaf on the ground that had been eaten so much that they exchanged handfuls of rice.

A piece of gold robe was missing from the back of the Buddha statue, revealing the filthy earth embryo inside.

On the third day, the victims picked up another piece of gold leaf, and the family could no longer eat children.

The Buddha statue is still bald.

Day 4......

When the last piece of gold of the Buddha statue was dug up, the golden Buddha statue was completely exposed to the ugly mud tire inside, and the earthy gray was full of cracks.

The victims picked up the last piece of gold leaf, and then resumed their old days of dry hope.

The little monk was caught by several skinny children, who dragged the little monk to find a dog hole, which only children could get through.

They rushed in, and then asked the little monk to take them to a place with gold leaf.

They came to the temple and looked at the mud Buddha statue, and a child grabbed a piece of wood and threw it at the mud Buddha statue, and the mud Buddha statue exploded into a big hole in an instant.

A few children bit off a few pieces of meat from the little monk, beat him to death, and threw him into the hole in the Buddha statue, and scattered as birds and beasts.

The little monk was inside the Buddha statue, dizzy, he was bleeding and about to die. He touched it, and he felt a stick, and he felt a round ball with four eyes. He touched many, many such balls and sticks in the Buddha statue.

The little monk was in his last death throes......

A few imps who were making trouble in the city were caught. The new city lord asked them to lead the way to the dog cave where they came in.

The dog hole was sealed. A couple of imps spoke of the temple again.

When the lord of the new city went to the temple in the middle of the city, he looked at the cracked, dirty, ugly mud tires with a big hole, and exclaimed, "Anything can stay in the city!

As soon as the words fell, the Buddha statue shook and pressed down towards the new city lord.

The little monk died in the end, along with the new city lord.
