The news that Hui Neng used the mountain herbs on Tianlu Mountain to cure Li's skin disease soon spread throughout the eighteen caves of Tianlu Mountain, and the mountain people, whether they were suffering from skin diseases or other diseases, came to seek medical treatment with the mentality of giving it a try.

Huineng is a person who does not refuse to come, and is enthusiastic about diagnosis and treatment.

However, all the patients who have been diagnosed and treated by Huineng have basically been cured and relieved of the pain of being tortured by the disease, and they affectionately call Huineng a miracle doctor.

In the early morning of this day, Liang Yaocheng carried a bag of rice, salt and rape, etc., and stepped on the dew to visit Huineng's mother and son in Shimen.

Between the conversations, there was a faint sound of mournful howling from a distance.

Li: "Ah Neng, what is this called?" ”

"Wait until I go out and listen." Huineng hurriedly ran out of the house, listened attentively, and judged that it was the cry of a tiger through the sound of the mountain wind and pine waves. His heart chuckled, and he hurriedly returned to the courtyard and said to Liang Yaocheng: "Uncle Yaocheng, there is a situation, I recognize this as a tiger roar!" ”

Liang Yaocheng listened to it and said: "It is in the direction of the Tiger Pit, it must have been the tiger who stepped on the mechanism we laid over there in the Tiger Pit, and was caught by the trap of the beast." ”

Huineng urged: "Uncle Yaocheng, let's take a look." ”

"Okay." Liang Yaocheng casually took down the bow and arrow hanging on the stone wall, and walked towards the tiger pit with Huineng, and after a while, he came to the tiger pit and saw a big tiger caught in the trap of the beast, roaring and struggling desperately.

Not long ago, Liang Yaocheng's fast horse was seriously injured by a tiger, and now when he saw this enemy, of course he was furious and scolded, "Hmph, how long will you be majestic?!" With anger, he drew his bow and arrows, "Whoosh! With a thud, he shot towards the tiger.

Seeing this, Huineng flew over and reached out to grab the arrow.

Liang Yaocheng saw that he was about to shoot the tiger, but he was ruined by Hui Neng, and his heart was angry, he stomped his foot on the ground, and complained: "Ahem, Ah Neng, I was about to shoot this tiger, why did you reach out and grab my bow and arrow?!" Will you spare this vicious beast? ”

Without waiting for Hui Neng to reply, it was too late, it was fast, "swish", a burst of arrows flew over like raindrops, in a hurry, Hui Neng took out the robe from the bag and shook it, and in an instant, ten thousand golden lights rose to the sky, driving away the rain of arrows, which shocked Liang Yaocheng and the few people who put arrows behind...... After a long time, he came back to his senses and said in unison: "Ah Neng, why do you want to stop us?" ”

Among them, there was a young hunter surnamed Shi and Hanqiang, and he said angrily: "Ah Neng, you also know that this tiger bit my cattle last month, making it a cripple, and in recent years it has eaten many goats from the villagers around us, biting pigs to death, and biting cows. What a heinous sin! ”

Many of the villagers who heard the news were deeply affected by the tiger, and at this time they felt the same way, pointed at the tiger, and cursed loudly.

"Kill it!"

"If you don't kill it, you won't understand the hatred in my heart!"

"Kill it! Going to peel it and cramp! ”

"In addition to eating its meat, you should also use its bones to make soup and drink!"

Angry voices came and went, wave after wave, and the originally silent mountains and forests became a battlefield to denounce the tiger.

Shi Hanqiang's younger brother Shi Hanwei thought of the tiger that had killed his two goats last month, and his anger ignited, and he spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground, "Phew! "Take the spear and stab it at the tiger's buttocks.

Huineng hurriedly stepped up, flicked the spear to the other side with his hand, and said, "Ah Wei, you wait! ”

Shi Hanqiang stretched out his right hand to his back, and pulled out another sharp arrow from the quiver on his back, which he wanted to put on the bowstring.

Hui Neng's eyes were quick, he reached out and snatched his arrow at once, and then stuffed it back into Shi Hanqiang's quiver, and clasped his hands together: "Good! Wonderful! Tigers are also sentient beings, wait for me to speak for this tiger, go to evil and follow good. ”

As he spoke, Huineng walked around the tiger, looking at the tiger for a while, and there was a scab in the middle of the tiger's nose, which was obviously the scar left by hitting it with a stone when he rescued the sika deer.

Shi Hanqiang shook his head in disbelief, "This evil tiger can also go from evil to good?" Puzzled, he asked Huineng, "Why did you stop us from killing this tiger?" It has eaten so many livestock of our villagers, and it is a terrible crime. As the saying goes, evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good. Today it will be paid in blood. If you don't kill it, letting the tiger return to the mountain will be an endless disaster! ”

"Yes, let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!" People agree with Shi Hanqiang's opinion.

The tiger also has spirituality, and after listening to Huineng's words, asking it to go from evil to good and count its crimes with the strength of others, to draw its tendons and skin it, and from the angry voice he knew that his death was coming, and he actually shed tears of sorrow and looked at Huineng with pitiful eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Huineng naturally understood the tiger's repentance, and found that the fierce light and murderous aura in its green eyes were gone, revealing a strong desire to survive and repentance. He knew that this trick was already paying off.

Huineng spoke to it like this. When he found that the tigress had cleared her evil thoughts, she gradually approached her side, gently stroked her fur, and then stroked her forelimbs, seeing that she would not attack people with her claws, and finally walked up to it, touched its forehead in a friendly manner, and communicated with it silently with practical actions.

Under the influence of Huineng's sincerity, the tiger's copper bell-like eyes exuded a grateful look, and he gently licked Huineng's hand with his tongue from time to time, conveying the message of communication between it and Huineng.

At first, Liang Yaocheng, Shi Hanqiang and some villagers were very worried about Huineng. But later, when I saw that things were developing in a good direction step by step, I was happy for Huineng again.

Huineng, a "philanthropic benevolent", made the tiger "heartbroken", and it and Huineng became good friends who could play.

Shi Hanqiang witnessed the development of the whole incident from beginning to end, and said to Huineng with admiration: "You, you are really amazing. Such a ferocious tiger has also been tamed so obediently by you. ”

Huineng's words are meaningful: "The way all things in the world get along is the same. If you have a tiger in your heart, it will always be a tiger. If this tiger is no longer a man-eating tiger in your heart, then it is no longer a man-eating tiger. ”

Shi Hanqiang pondered Huineng's words, and also realized something from them: "You have a point. What's your secret weapon? ”

Huineng pointed to his chest: "The heart has a good idea." Act with kindness, and everything will work. ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hui Neng personally untied the trap, and applied the collected Chinese herbs to the wound on the tigress's right hind leg, and then bandaged it with strips of cloth.

The tigress trapped in the trap was freed, and the joy can be imagined. It circled around Huineng's side three times, then lay down on its forelimbs in a kneeling position, and then waged its tail back.

Since then, Huineng has become good friends with this tiger, and has used leaves as whistles to contact it, often playing with it and domesticating it.

This tiger is also very knowledgeable, and no longer does the evil deeds of mutilating the villagers in Tianlu Mountain. When the surrounding villagers saw this tiger, they would not be as frightened as before, and the reason for the flight was in a hurry. This is because the tiger often runs to distant mountains and forests to catch vicious animals when foraging for food.

Those thieves who once came to Tianlu Mountain to steal chickens and dogs saw that the big tiger often cruised around the tiger pit, where did they dare to come and do evil again?

Over time, the name of "Tiger Pit" spread more and more, spread farther and farther, and finally became a fixed place name in people's mouths.

Huineng said that it is not absurd to tame the tiger, and some people in the Western Regions have long been able to domesticate the tiger and lion to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor, and also take them back and forth on Tongqu Street. There are eighteen Arhats who protect the Dharma under the seat of Buddha Shakya Benni, one of whom is Venerable Qingyou, an Arhat who has subdued the demon dragon, and there is also a Venerable Maitreya, an Arhat who has surrendered to a tiger.
