1481 - It is difficult to repay the debts of the previous life
As the saying goes, people in the world don't do things, and even monsters can't stand it, but in the end, people still need to be the masters of human affairs.
As soon as I remembered this story, I hurriedly asked the face on the Sansheng Stone, "Monk, I have heard this story a long time ago, why did you suddenly mention this to me?" ”
I only heard the monk reply: "This story came from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhang Tianshi who was in charge of Longhu Mountain at that time was named Zhang Taihe, and the black fish essence in Gui'an County, Huzhou was suppressed by his own hands. However, a story is a story after all, and after many years of circulation, it is now both true and false, and not entirely true......"
"Which part of that is true and which part is false?" I asked hurriedly.
The monk said: "The county name of Gui'an County was Fang Jingyuan, it was a Jinshi of Jiajing for seven years, and when he was a teenager, he was determined to protect the country and the people and treat the people well when he was a teenager, and he was a good young man with high spirits, and this Fang Jingyuan had another identity that was not known to the world, he was born in Xuanmen when he was a teenager, and he entered Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi at the age of five to learn Taoism, and he was the disciple of the Heavenly Master Zhang Taihe at that time......"
I was shocked to hear this, because in the story, not only is the name of Nazhi County not mentioned, let alone his origin.
The monk then continued: "I think that back then, although the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was wise and scrupulous and kind to the people, he was extremely superstitious in his life, so he gathered a lot of people who were proficient in magic in the court, and Fang Jingyuan also took a fancy to this, so he studied hard to gain fame after returning to the mountain, and then was sent to Gui'an County, Huzhou to serve as the magistrate. At that time, Fang Jingyuan was only twenty-two years old, he was in the prime of life, if he did more good deeds, his future was limitless, how did he know that although he had been cultivating in Longhu Mountain for many years, he should have looked down on Hongchen, but he still couldn't withstand the corruption of wine and wealth in the world, and finally not only became a corrupt official, but also his personality suddenly changed violently, and when he took office again, he was hated by the people of Gui'an County...... And in addition to exploiting the people for power, that Fang Jingyuan made better use of the spells he learned when he was young, and trapped a black fish spirit in the sea who had practiced for 1,300 years......
After listening to the monk's words, I sighed for a while, and said: "I can't imagine that there is such a detail hidden behind the simple story back then, but what does this have to do with the three girls?" ”
"Don't worry, listen to me continue, and you'll understand......"
The monk was still unhurried, and said indifferently: "At that time, Fang Jingyuan had a wife named Li Fanggu by his side, this woman was upright, and she was by no means the same as Fang Jingyuan, but because she was the wife of the other party, she could only turn a blind eye when she saw the other party scourge Li Min, but one day, Li Fanggu couldn't bear it, and broke the fact that Fang Jingyuan forced the black fish spirit to do evil with the spell of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, in order to save Li Min, Li Fanggu took the risk to steal the magic weapon of Fang Jingyuan's far-distance spell at night, and released the black fish essence, but she was afraid that her husband would add to her own guilt when she learned about it, In desperation, he could only be ruthless, colluded with the black fish spirit to assassinate Fang Jingyuan, and from then on, the black fish spirit transformed into Fang Jingyuan's appearance, and continued to watch in Gui'an County, and later, as the story said, after that night, Fang Jingyuan suddenly became an official and upright, which made the people all praise each other......"
When the monk said this, I had already heard some clues, and hurriedly asked: "Monk, should Li Fanggu be ......?"
"Yes, Li Fanggu is the third girl's previous life." The monk replied: "Back then, Li Fanggu killed her husband in order to save the people, although it was a good thing, but there was collusion with demons and evil spirits in the past, and there was murder of her husband in the back, and the two sins were combined, no matter how great the merit was, it was difficult to offset the karma, and then Fang Jingyuan, who was killed by the black fish spirit, turned into an ownerless evil ghost, and asked his wife Li Fanggu for her life several times, but Li Fanggu was protected by the black fish spirit, which caused Fang Jingyuan to be unable to succeed several times...... After two years, when Zhang Tianshi crossed to the east, he saw at a glance that the demon spirit in the sky above Gui'an County was difficult to disperse, so he came to subdue the demon, and before Zhang Tianshi arrived in Gui'an County, the black fish spirit had already noticed it, and instinctively escaped smoothly first, but Li Fanggu knew that Zhang Tianshi's Taoism was profound, and thought that her husband Fang Jingyuan, who was killed by herself, was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Master, if the Heavenly Master found out the truth, he would not spare himself, because of a thought, Li Fanggu actually drugged the black fish essence tea that transformed into Fang Jingyuan's appearance in order to protect herself. The black fish spirit was temporarily sealed and had to be captured, and then it fell into the hands of Zhang Tianshi......"
"Doesn't the black fish spirit know how to refute?" Hearing this, I asked in exclamation: "Li Fanggu has done too much in this matter, so why don't you just tell Zhang Tianshi the truth to the black fish spirit?" ”
"Well, who's to say it's not?" The monk sighed in the Sansheng Stone: "Things in the world are originally so simple, but they are often not so simple. After years of getting along, the black fish essence who incarnated as Fang Jingyuan was in charge of Gui'an County had already fallen in love with Li Fanggu and regarded Li Fanggu as his wife, although Li Fanggu betrayed the black fish essence for self-protection, but the black fish essence still couldn't bear to involve his wife in the end, and finally took all the charges under the grief, and did not tell the truth to Zhang Tianshi, it was because of this that Li Fanggu got away with it, and then the black fish essence was included in Weng and buried in the ground......"
"What about Aunt Li? What happened? I asked again.
The monk replied: "Not long after this incident, Li Fanggu quietly left Gui'an County alone, but Fang Jingyuan's evil spirit followed and entangled all the way, and Li Fanggu had no choice but to flee to a temple called 'Xiaoquan Nunnery' in Huzhou. After a few years, Li Fanggu hid in the nunnery and did not move an inch, and finally chose to leave home because of the guilt of the other party Jingyuan and the black fish spirit, the law name 'Dongzhen', and then practiced in the Xiaoquan Nunnery for a total of 63 years, and did not leave the Koizumi Nunnery for 63 years, and finally passed away with the body presided over by the owner of the nunnery......
Speaking of this, the monk sighed, and then said: "Although Li Fanggu realized Buddhism in the second half of her life and took refuge sincerely, and her talent was excellent, the debts owed in the first half of her life could not be offset after all, so that after exhausting her lifelong practice, it was difficult to reach the Western Bliss, and she entered the cycle of bitterness and happiness, and in the next life, she was reincarnated into the Huang family, reincarnated as the third daughter of the family, and suffered a lot of hardships in her life......
"I understand," I nodded, and said, "The biggest obstacle in the three lives of the three girls mentioned by the Blood Ghost King is that she owed these two love debts in her previous life, one is Fang Jingyuan, the hair-tied Langjun who was killed by her, and the other is the black fish spirit who was infatuated with her but was betrayed......"
"Yes, the three girls' yang life is not over, in order to become a few ghosts and fairies on the body, demon fairies and scattered Taoism, it is also a move to sacrifice themselves to help others, as long as these two love debts are resolved, the three girls' sins and obstacles are eliminated as soon as the merit is greater than the sins, and they can return to the world and return to the yang......"
"Then how should I help her resolve these two obstacles?" I asked busily again.
The monk smiled slightly, and replied: "The so-called bell must be tied to the bell person, I have told you in detail about the causes and consequences of this matter, as for how to do it, I am not in the Three Realms, so I should not intervene more, and the way to resolve this matter will be found by you yourself......
Speaking of this, the monk suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "Let me remind you one more thing, if I say that you remember all this, then hurry up and return to Yang, that blood ghost king Heli Zhinan has always held a grudge against you, this time it is clear that he is helping you, but in fact, he deliberately led you into the underworld to trap, and now he has led the hell ghost soldiers to kill, trying to besiege you on the Wangxiang platform and kill you with a knife, at this time they are not far away, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late......"
When I heard this, I was shocked, but before I could react, I heard an angry roar and shouting from the bottom of the stairs behind me, and then I saw countless ghost soldiers rushing up and surrounding me......
