Chapter 572: Monk's Merit

Wang Gang sighed a few times and continued: "At that time, we were also frightened, and we didn't know how to do it, so we went to the town to find Mr. Private School, and Mr. Private School came back with us, saying that we had to go to the town to see the doctor, and we needed to prepare some money. Isn't this a sin, I don't know how to treat my mother if I have money? Do you want to see a doctor for this old monk you don't know? ”

Yifeng fell silent, he didn't have many opportunities to contact this kind of poor people, when he rushed from Qingshan Temple to Nanzong Temple before, he also met some poor people, but they didn't give him such an impression.

Perhaps, after struggling for too long in the days of exhaustion, some things that seem important to others will become less important.

Wang Gang continued: "What happened later, so that my mind has changed a lot, I heard that the old monk who came to help my mother treat the disease is sick, the neighbor two dogs spread the news in the village, what I didn't expect is that there is one person in the village, all of them are poor people, and they all took out all their money, one copper plate and one copper plate to make up for me. I didn't know what to say at the time, and I didn't have time to say it, so I asked my brother to take care of my mother at home, and I carried the old monk on my back, so I ran to the town with Mr. Private School.

"When I got to the town, I ran into the hospital and let Lang Zhong see it, Lang Zhong prescribed medicine, and said while prescribing it, this medicine is to save people, it is very expensive, and the more urgent it is, the more expensive it is, and then I pressed down and counted it first, and asked if the money was enough. When I saw it, it was bigger than the one I was scared just now, and I couldn't afford to sell it.

"Mr. Private School is a good person, and when he saw that I was incapable and useless, he ran to his house to get the money. He knew very well that there were only a dozen families in the town who had the money to go to school, each of whom had taken a year off from the previous year, and there was not much money at all, and he took all the money and counted it, but it was still not enough.

When Lang Zhong saw it, he immediately pulled down his face, took the recipe back easily, and tore it off directly. While tearing it back, he told me that the old monk couldn't stand this illness, and if he didn't treat it, he wouldn't be able to survive the next day's noon. My life was at stake, and I was also anxious at that time, but I was so anxious that I couldn't use it when I lost beans on my face, and I didn't have money to prescribe prescriptions, let alone such expensive medicines.

"Not to mention, there are still many good people in this world, and the people who came to the pharmacy to catch the medicine saw me like this, and they couldn't bear it, although they didn't give me money, but they all left some kindness in persuading Lang, and it was also a merit to treat the monk. Na Langzhong's face was not good-looking, and he was afraid of offending these people who had money to catch medicine, so he told me that if there is no money to cure it, there is also a way to cure it without money.

"I asked at the time, how can I cure it if I don't have money? He told me that if there is no money to cure it, he will cut it off! Listen, Masters, does this look like a human being?! Na Langzhong also said that with the money in our hands, he could help stop the bleeding and prescribe some hemostatic healing medicine. I can't help it, I discussed it with Mr. Private School, and I can only do this, it's better than letting the old monk lose his life.

"But Langzhong said that he didn't want to do it, he got dirty, and if he wanted to amputate the old monk's leg, we had to do it ourselves. I panicked when I heard it at the time, but I was a person who had to kill a chicken for a long time, and I wanted to cut off one of other people's legs, which made me panic.

"I really can't do it, so I'm going to carry the old monk back and bury it with my father. But Mr. Private School understands the righteousness, he doesn't let me do this, he said that the monks all say that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I can't just throw away someone's life.

"I don't want to, but what can I do. Mr. Private School said that he went to borrow an axe, then blindfolded me with a strip of cloth, and put the old monk's leg alone on a wooden pier, so that I would not look at it, as long as I aimed it and cut it down hard.

"Later, this matter spread in the town, the big guys came to see the excitement, I didn't have the same leisure as them, according to the words of Mr. Private School, put the old monk's leg on a wooden pier on the street, I suddenly felt in my heart, or stood in a good position, blindfolded, lifted the axe, didn't think about anything, didn't dare to think about anything, as soon as the axe went down, I only heard a click, and I didn't know anything."

The young man next to him asked suspiciously, "Why don't you know anything?" ”

Wang Gang smiled embarrassedly: "Because I fainted, Mr. Private School asked someone to carry me and the old monk back." Later, the old monk finally woke up and found that he was missing a leg, and he looked very uncomfortable, just leaning against the wall and chanting the scriptures. We asked him how this leg came to be like this, and he didn't want to say it, but then we stalked him, saying that I cut off this leg of yours, otherwise you won't survive. The old monk sighed before telling us the truth. ”

"It turns out that the medicine for my old lady was not bought from the pharmacy, but the old monk himself from various mountains in the northwest and the ditch and cliff, I have only heard that there are monks who will go to collect medicine by themselves, but I didn't expect that he didn't know our mother at all, how could he spend so much blood and sweat to collect medicine? The medicine in the northwest is inherently expensive, and the herb pickers regard herbs as more important than life.

"But I believe this thing is true, this old monk for the sake of the people we don't know, went to collect medicine, and then was bitten by a poisonous snake, he reacted quickly, after biting a few breaths to tie his legs with a strip of cloth, and then used the knife to pick the medicine to cut off the bitten piece of meat, so that the poisonous gas did not leak out. Later, the place that was cut off began to rot and pus, but he was reluctant to take the time to collect those medicines for leg injuries, he knew that I was still waiting for him at home, so he rushed to my house with great difficulty, but I was still complaining about him and hating him! I don't want to treat him yet! I'm really a pig and a dog! ”

Wang Gang's tears fell heavily, and the muddy tears mixed with the dust on his face, making this man who stood up to the sky and the earth like a helpless poor child.

He choked up and said, "Later, after the old monk recovered a little from his injury, he left with us on his back and never appeared again." Later, I learned that Ergouzi and the village neighbors lent me money, not because I was usually good to others, but because Ergouzi's father, the old uncle of the big pillar, the uncle of Cuihua and her family, and many people, all of whom were rescued by some old monks in the northwest, they often carried a basket of incomprehensible scriptures, wandering around, helping people when they saw them in trouble, and saving people if they could, they were all good living Buddhas and living Bodhisattvas!

"But after I went through that incident, my courage became very small, I fainted when I saw blood, this time I heard that you were fighting, but I wanted to plant the land, to survive well, I didn't dare to go to war, I didn't dare to come to see you, I heard that there was a monk asking for food, I left the rations with the old lady, and the rest were given to you, and the second dog also joined the army, I don't know if he had beaten you, but I didn't dare to go to the battlefield.

"When my mother heard about it, she raised her hand and gave me a slap, which woke me up, saying that we can't be that kind of ungrateful villain, what is the difference between that kind of person and the Langzhong in the town who can't be saved when he sees death, let's do it, just be an upright and good person like Mr. Private School, we don't understand anything, but we must at least understand right and wrong!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the black and oppressed group of people behind him, and said excitedly: "They are all the same as me, they are all people who have been helped by the monks in the northwest!" I originally thought that my family also has a younger brother, and I am not a dead queen, so I began to call people in the village to help, but I didn't expect the big guys to be willing to go, so I persuaded those who have wives and children and parents to leave, I heard that there are the most monks here, and we came to this side.

"But I didn't expect that more and more people on the road walked, after hearing about our affairs, the big guys all said that this is a good thing to accumulate merit, and the next life will be reincarnated to live better, it won't be so bitter, everyone is willing to come over to help, and some want to become monks, there are so many people. The big guys all carried baskets and baskets with food, and walked for nearly a month before they reached the village just now. The big guy said that he didn't know what the situation was here, so he would hide the grain first, so that he would not be robbed of it, so we only rushed here now, no matter what, I asked the masters to accept us, we don't care what work we do, some of them have the strength of their arms! ”

Listening to Wang Gang's big call, Yifeng, Shuli and others were deeply emotional, what Buddhism and Taoism in the northwest brought to the local people was not the same suffering as in other states at all, but the merit of saving lives and giving them hope for life.

Yifeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and saw that Master Luntai had already been in tears, and he was in tears, and Yifeng asked him in surprise: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Master Luntai's answer made Yifeng even more surprised and moved: "The old monk that this man just said is the master of the old monk!" ”
