Chapter 100: The Protector of the Road God
Pei Minsheng was in the forest to thank Master Jingxin in person, and was about to go down the mountain to go home, Master Jingxin told him to wait, so he took out a packet of herbs from the monk's robe and handed it to Pei Minsheng.
Say that you use this herbal decoction to wash poisonous sores, once in the morning and once in the evening, wash and clean your hands, and recite the three or five sentences of Amitabha Buddha to heal within a week. From now on, you have to abstain from eating that kind of food with poppy powder, if you take the vows, the poisonous sores on your body will recur, and after the recurrence, your life will not be guaranteed, and you will go to hell after death, as you see, and the miserable state is the same as the soul of a sin in hell who was addicted to drugs during life. When the time comes, it will be too late for you to regret it, and if you look for the poor monk again, the poor monk will have no power to return to heaven.
Pei Minsheng took the herbs, and a smell of medicine came to his nose, and he was grateful to the Pure Heart Master. Venerable Pure Heart clasped his palms together and said, "Don't thank me, thank me for the Buddha's mercy and protection." Amitabha!
Pei Minsheng didn't come back in the afternoon since he walked out of the courtyard gate, Hua Dafu cooked the meal with poppy powder as usual, cold and hot, repeated many times, until dusk, I saw Pei Minsheng walk into the courtyard gate, he also greeted him with a courteous expression as usual, and said with a smile, Pei Dongjia, the meal has already been prepared for you, just waiting for you to eat.
Pei Minsheng said coldly, don't eat it. I'll make it myself. Hua Dafu saw that he was like a different person, and his attitude towards himself suddenly became a little stiff, and he endured his temperament, and still said with a smile, Pei Dongjia, you have to take care of your body, I am here to take care of you, you make your own food, I am not derelict in my duty?
Don't say more, if I continue to eat the poppy powder you made, I'm afraid I'm going to have poisonous sores all over my body, and my life will not be saved. Pei Minsheng spoke straightforwardly.
It can't be the reason for eating the food I made, right? Besides, you also like to eat this delicious meal with poppy powder. Hua Dafu pretended not to know, but he was now upset that Pei Minsheng had seen through his conspiracy with revenge intentions, and of course he tried to be as calm as possible.
I regret eating the kind of food you made. Now it's like this. In this way, from today onwards, if you are not satisfied with the days of this month, you will be paid for a month, and you will leave after receiving your salary! I don't need you to take care of me anymore, thank you.
As he spoke, Pei Minsheng took out his wallet and gave him a salary of 1,800 yuan that month.
Hua Dafu refused to take it, but finally took it, took the money and counted it, yes, he put the money in his jacket pocket, and he was still dissatisfied, not other dissatisfaction, but he did not achieve his goal of revenge on Pei Minsheng and even put him to death.
At this moment, Hua Dafu said stupidly, Pei Dongjia, oh, since you fired me, you are no longer my owner, I will call you Pei Minsheng, I ask you, Pei Minsheng, who did you listen to? Tempted to stop eating this kind of food?
Don't ask, don't ask, it's the Pure Heart Master who will give me some guidance, or I'll fall into your hands. Pei Minsheng turned his back as he spoke.
Hmph, Pure Heart Mage, is that bald head? Hua Dafu walked around to him, bit his lip, and asked him hatefully.
Don't insult the Pure Heart Master with contemptuous words. Pei Minsheng frowned and stopped.
On the fourth day, Master Jingxin went out of the mountain gate to ask for bowls, and only then did he walk out of the forest, and he saw a man standing at the intersection about a foot away from him, holding a porcelain bowl with three small steamed buns stacked in it, the man seemed to be smiling, and greeted him and said, Master Jingxin, I will provide you with food on behalf of Pei Jushi, these three small steamed buns are just bought by me from a restaurant in the town, and they are still hot, you can take them and eat them while they are hot! I've been waiting for you here for a long time.
Amitabha! The donor is so polite, how can the poor monk afford it? The Pure Heart Master was walking towards him, and the man also met him, only a few steps, and somehow, the man fell into a big dirt pit with a flutter, and shouted loudly, and the bowl in his hand and the steamed bun in it fell in, and there was a foul smell of feces and urine emitted from it.
Master Jingxin is puzzled, this road is the only way to enter and exit the mountain gate of Guanyin Temple, he often walks, there has never been a big earth pit, how did this accident happen, who dug it secretly? Look at the big dirt pit next to it, there are small ridges and leaves.
At this moment, two men were passing by on the side of the mountain road, and Master Pure Heart hurriedly beckoned, telling them to come over quickly and help rescue the man who had fallen into the big dirt pit.
But the two men couldn't move when they approached the pit, and they couldn't move when they wanted to go down to the pit to rescue. I saw that the man fell to the bottom of the pit and fell to the second, and the worst thing was that one of his feet was punctured by the sharp glass block planted upside down at the bottom of the pit, and blood gushed out.
When Master Pure Heart saw it, he guessed that the person who dug the pit was carrying out a conspiracy to deliberately cover up the road so that pedestrians could not see the opening of the pit, and he fell down abruptly, and was injured by the glass fragments at the bottom of the pit...... What a heinous crime!
Help me, help me. The man fell to the bottom of the pit and couldn't move, it turned out that one of his feet was not only bleeding, but also most of it was broken, his cries for help continued, and he looked up to see the two men standing on the edge of the pit unresponsive, looking down at him in a daze.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ear, saying, "You must be honest about your evil deeds, or you will not be saved, and you will die in this pit."
The man asked, "Who are you?" Why can you only hear the sound and not see people.
The voice replied, "I am the god of the road, not a mortal, and you don't want to see me." Tell you, I pushed you into the big dirt pit. If you don't tell the truth honestly and repent of your sins, there is only one way to die.
The man suddenly became frightened, and thought to himself: If you don't admit your mistake to the Pure Heart Master who is standing on top of the big dirt pit and inspecting him, this dirt pit will become a burial pit for burying him.
At this moment, Master Pure Heart recognized him as the person hired by Pei Minsheng, and was thinking about how he fell into the big pit, when he heard him say to himself with tears in his eyes, Master Pure Heart, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I am harming others and myself.
This confuses people, and the Pure Heart Master didn't understand it at first, and the two men standing on the edge of the pit didn't understand either, but they continued to listen to him, and they all understood.
The man said that his name was Hua Dafu, and he secretly picked the figs in Pei Minsheng's family yard a few years ago, but the fruit was not stolen, and the fig tree fell bricks and tiles and beat himself to the point of bleeding, and he didn't dare to speak out. Since then, he has hated Pei Minsheng deeply and always wants to take revenge on him, but he can't think of a way to retaliate.
Later, he asked Shan Tianji, nicknamed Shan Banxian, to come up with the idea many times, and let him use a meal with poppy powder to give Pei Minsheng an addiction, so that Pei Minsheng, who was tantamount to taking drugs, hired him for a long time because he couldn't do without this delicious and special meal, so as to achieve the purpose of revenge on him.
This conspiracy is in the process of being carried out, but it is being seen by the Pure Heart Master. Venerable Pure Heart persuaded Pei Minsheng, a layman, not to eat the kind of food with poppy powder again, and after Pei Minsheng came to his senses, he decided to abstain from eating this kind of food from now on and dismissed Hua Dafu.
Hua Dafu hated Master Pure Heart because of this, and planned to murder him. That is to lure Master Pure Heart to this necessary way to enter and exit the Guanyin Temple, so that he can just get close, and push him into the big earth pit he dug deep and bury him alive with one palm. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and the Pure Heart Mage is often blessed by the Dharma Protector Longtian, and he can turn evil into good fortune. Before the Dharma Protector Long Tian personally punished, the road god punished Hua Dafu on his behalf.
Hearing this, the two men were extremely angry at Hua Dafu's behavior, thinking that he was a villain, and he was about to leave, just moving his steps, Master Pure Heart was a practitioner after all, and he had not seen the world, not to mention that the person who tried to harm himself had already repented and admitted his mistakes, so he clasped his palms together at the two men and said, Amitabha, respectfully ask the two donors to help rescue the poor man under the pit.
