Chapter 277: Also called Black Tiger
The monk smiled and said, do you hear? The black tiger guarding the door in our temple seems to be answering you, yes! Right! Right!
This black dog is very human, and immediately turned around and barked at the monk three times. Chang Hao said, Master, the black tiger is also answering you, and it says that you are right. The monk laughed, and Chang Hao wept more and more sadly.
At this moment, the mountain god and the tree god, who had listened to a Buddhist scripture, came out of the temple one after another, and when they saw Chang Hao reaching out to stroke the black dog, they began to talk about it, and the woman and the black dog used to have a mother-son relationship, so they were very affectionate when they met each other. used to be a human, how did he die and be reincarnated as a dog? That's because there were too many sins in this man-made person named Yao Heihu during his lifetime, and he was addicted to dog meat, and he had killed dogs, so he was reincarnated as a dog after death to pay off the debt of killing dogs and eating meat.
I still don't understand, after death, on the eve of rebirth, people generally drink the soul-forgetting soup of Meng Po God and forget everything in their lives, how can this human-turned-dog still remember the events of his previous life and be able to clearly recognize his mother in his previous life?
Does this need to be explained? Yao Heihu has fallen from humanity to animal nature, and generally does not need to drink the soul-forgetting soup, if a person is reincarnated as a human, then he must drink the soul-forgetting soup, otherwise, the person who was born remembers the things of the previous life, and then recognizes the parents and relatives of the previous life, as well as the various social relationships established in the previous life, including grievances and hatreds, will naturally cause many incidents, and there will be many disadvantages to themselves, others and things.
And there is a big difference between people becoming beasts after death, even if the beasts who have not drunk the soul-forgetting soup still remember the things of their previous lives, they can't do anything bad, one is that even if the beasts understand in their hearts, they are all dumb and can't speak human words; The second is that animals are controlled by people, and it is impossible for people to treat animals as human beings.
Generally speaking, due to various reasons in previous lives, no matter how good and humane an animal is, it cannot change the established status quo of being an animal. So generally speaking, it doesn't matter if a person's dead soul is reincarnated as an animal, and it doesn't matter whether he drinks the soul-forgetting soup or not.
The discussion of the mountain god and the tree god about the black tiger, of course, the black tiger is not clear, and there is no need to take it into account, but he often goes down the mountain to let out his breath, saying that the black dog guarding the door in the mountain temple is the reincarnation of her son Yao Heihu, also called the black tiger, and many people nearby will go up the mountain to see the excitement and strangeness.
The stranger came, the black tiger inadvertently, it didn't matter, still squatting in front of the mountain gate to guard the temple, if the acquaintance of the life came, it was afraid of hiding in the temple like ugly, let the acquaintance go and come out.
Chang Hao left the mountain temple for a few days, and he thought of the black tiger in his heart. I couldn't hold it back, so I went to visit it again, and put four buns in the basket and covered them with flower towels, planning to send them to the black tiger to eat. But when she came to the gate of the temple, she did not see the black dog that greeted her with its tail wagging like last time, so she stood for a while, expecting it to smell herself, and suddenly came out of nowhere, still stretching out its soft tongue to lick her fingers, and making love to her.
Unexpectedly, he never saw it come out, so he often put together his gray hair, looked around, and let go of his voice and called out to the black tiger. And he went into the temple to look for it, and asked a monk who was sweeping the courtyard where the black dog was.
And the monk said, Isn't it at the gate of the temple? Chang Hao said, no. I stood at the gate of the temple for a long time, but I didn't see it. The monk suspected that the black tiger might have been taken down the mountain by the elders and would not return until the afternoon or evening.
Chang Hao said with certainty, then I'll come back in the afternoon. The monk stopped sweeping the broom, looked at Chang Hao, who had a haggard face and gray hair, and said Old Donor, the black tiger is the watchdog in our temple, what are you looking for it? Chang Hao didn't want to say the reason for looking for the black dog, so he only took off the flower towel covering the mouth of the basket, deliberately let the monk see the four buns exposed, and then said, I want to give it some food.
Oh, and the donor isn't bad. After the monk had said it in a praising tone, he then changed his words, but, donor, I ask you, how can such delicious buns be given to dogs?
Master, where do you know? This bun has meat filling in it, and you can't eat it. I often prevaricate and leave with the basket.
Yes, we monks can only fast. The monk also wanted to say, "Can't you send some buns without meat filling for us monks to eat?" But Chang Hao had already walked away, so he didn't bother to speak, picked up the broom and continued to clean the courtyard.
Instead of returning the same way, he took another way down the mountain. She didn't know why she was doing this. Chang Hao approached a mountain col, suddenly smelled a smell of meat, looked up, there was a row of low houses in the woods over there, she continued to walk, and found a ladder on the side wall of the low house, on which hung a dog skin, and there were blood stains on the oily side.
She suddenly became alert, a dog had been beaten to death, skinned and cooked in the house to make the smell of meat. Where is the dog? She went around to the other side of the wooden ladder, and just happened to see that the dog's fur was black, and then carefully identified it from the head, and she recognized that the dog's skin was peeled off the black tiger's body.
Chang Hao was sad for a while, and as if she was in silence, she stood under the wooden ladder hanging on the dog's skin, and suddenly took out the four meat buns in the basket and placed them underneath to show that she would enjoy the sacrifice of the dead of the black tiger.
At this moment, she muttered indignantly: Why did the people in the house kill the black tiger guarding the door of the mountain temple? Chang Hao didn't understand, and planned to go into the house and ask.
When I got to the door, I heard a group of people eating dog meat in the room. In a rough voice, dog meat is so delicious. Talking with a sharp voice, if it is not delicious, will the gluttonous monk risk breaking the vows to bring this dog guarding the temple gate?
He replied in a thin voice, saying that I am a gluttonous monk, and you are more gluttonous than me. said with a loud voice and laughter, gluttonous monk, we are indeed gluttonous, we are gluttonous benefactors, okay?
After a moment of silence, he continued in a loud voice, I want to ask the gluttonous monk, how did you kill this black dog? I took a risk when I said it, and you don't spread it to the outside world, let alone to the temple, and the abbot knows it, not only will he lose his temper, but he will also drive me out of the temple gate.
The rough voice said, drive out of the temple gate, drive out of the temple gate, sit and cultivate for many years, when will you be able to achieve positive results? It's better to be vulgar early, drink wine in a big bowl with us every day, and eat meat in large pieces.
In a small voice, the world will laugh at me for not having concentration and perseverance in my cultivation. Sharp voice said, you have broken the vows, what do you care? As long as we don't laugh at you.
Loud and white, greedy monk, speak quickly, speak quickly, how did you kill that dog? The thin voice said, this is how to die, while the abbot of the temple went down the mountain to do things today, I will go out of the mountain last time to get some small money, buy a "three-step pour" coated with sesame oil, quietly to the black dog guarding the temple door to eat, the medicine immediately attacked, it trembling three steps, sure enough, it fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and whined for a while. I carried it here in a sack, unbeknownst to me......
Chang Hao heard this, and he couldn't wait to go into the house and reprimand the gluttonous monk who violated the precepts, but when he calmed down, it was not good to be so impulsive, and it would anger the gluttonous monk and a few other men who ate dog meat and wine with him.
