Chapter 505: Miaoya Qiya (32)
Later, many people thought it was an auspicious place and moved there, and it didn't take long for it to become a village.
In order to commemorate the rice planting skills taught by Guanyin Niangniang, people named the village "Fifty Dan Village".
Because in ancient times, people wrote 'dan' as 'stone'. That's why it's also called Fifty Stone Village.
After the news spread, people from all over the country came here to ask about the experience, and every time the old mother recounted the story, she had to sing "Difficult to Raise Children" again, and it was not long, and the good way to plant rice and the song of "Difficult to Raise Children" spread in the child-friendly country at the same time.
The more the young men and women listened to it, the more they felt that the song was very reasonable, so the culture of respecting the elderly gradually developed throughout the country, and no one killed their parents to simmer in soup anymore.
However, things did not fundamentally turn around, because there were clear provisions on not providing for the elderly in the "Code" of the imperial court, so after the parents passed the age of six, the daughters-in-law still did not dare to blatantly provide for them.
Many parents, in order for their children and grandchildren to live a stable life, would rather starve to death than watch their younger generations break the law for themselves.
After Guanyin Niangniang left Fifty Dan Village, she sang "Difficult to Raise Children" in the capital, and visited the filial sons in the city. I don't know how long it took, but I finally found out that Li Shangshu's third son was particularly filial. This is the farce that directed the envoy of the Lion Kingdom to the king.
The incarnation of Guanyin Niangniang, Ah Man, immediately turned into a puff of green smoke and rose into the air after "brushing away" in the palace, returning to its original form.
When she found that the golden boy was also mixed with the onlookers, and was about to breathe fire to burn the palace, she took off the golden hairpin and turned it into a stone, which stopped the golden boy's reckless behavior in time, and at the same time beckoned him to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, when the golden boy found out that all this was a "persuasion plan" arranged by Guanyin Niangniang, not only did he not plan to leave quickly, but he also wanted to "watch the capsized boat" there!
The development of events is exactly the opposite of the Golden Boy's wishes.
When Li Laosan heard that he was going to "push himself out of the noon gate and behead him", he did not hurry, but said very calmly: "Xiaomin has committed the crime of bullying the king, and he should be beheaded to show the public, but he just begs the king to see that Xiaomin is dedicated to the country, and not to harm Xiaomin's father again." "
When the young king heard this, he suddenly raised his head, woke up, and personally left his seat to help Li Laosan up, and announced in public: "Recruit Li Laosan as a colt." ”
The next day, King Ai Youwang issued another holy decree and decided to change the name of the country to Zun Changguo and set "Difficult to Raise Children" as the national anthem. Later, all the provisions on elder abuse in the Code were abolished, and a new article was added: children and grandchildren must hold a "flower nail feast" for the elderly who have reached the age of 60 to celebrate their birthdays.
The golden boy was deeply moved by this, and after returning to the sound cave, without waiting for Guanyin Niangniang to speak, he took the initiative to bow down at her feet, and willingly became a slave, saying: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Since then, there has been a saying among the people that "the boy worships Guanyin".
The people in the martial arts have turned the posture of "boy worshipping Guanyin" into a kind of boxing tricks, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
When Guanyin Niangniang heard that the golden boy was willing to serve the "work of dogs and horses", she said: "In that case, how about you become a dog tomorrow and follow me to the Rakshasa country?"
The golden boy was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses" was originally a cliché I borrowed, but I didn't expect this Bodhisattva to really want me to become a dog, isn't this intended to make me embarrassed and behaved?"
Mistakenly thought it was a thief and was killed.
When a veteran of the Three Dynasties under the Infinite Kingdom learned of this, he compiled a limerick poem called "Ten Insufficiencies", and ridiculed the Infinite King and said:
Busy all day long is hungry, once there is food and clothes.
I have enough food and clothing, and I want to be a beautiful wife.
married a wife and concubine and gave birth to a son, lamenting that there was no land and a young foundation.
With high-rise buildings and fields, I don't think I can ride a horse when I go out.
There are herds of mules and horses, and they sigh that they are unofficial and are bullied.
I look forward to a county to do it, and I say that the status of the official is low.
The military department is still too small, and he wants to ascend the throne all day long.
As soon as you sit in the world facing south, you will be accompanied by immortals when you play chess.
Dongbin played chess with him, and asked where there was a ladder to heaven.
Set up a cloud ladder to the sky, and the south heaven gate was struck by lightning.
If it weren't for this person's limit, I'm afraid that the heavens would be too low.
The world should have a good conscience, unless Nan Ke has a dream.
After this lesson, every time Guanyin celebrated his birthday, he ordered Elder Puji to set up a frying pot at the ferry three days ago to thank the pilgrims.
Unexpectedly, the first person who dared to get into the oil pot was his father Miaozhuang Wang, and the first to be killed by the oil pot were his own sisters Miaoyuan and Miaoqing.
Although they all became positive results later, Guanyin Niangniang has always been obsessed with this matter, and she no longer dares to set up an oil pot to thank the pilgrims.
Until now, there are still a lot of people who make birthdays for Guanyin Niangniang around February 19. But more and more pilgrims find that every time Guanyin Niangniang's birthday, there is a chance that the things they ask for will be fulfilled.
People think that it is their selfish intention to celebrate the birthday of Guanyin Niangniang, but they don't know that this is Guanyin Niangniang's new trick to refuse pilgrims to celebrate her birthday.
It's just that she has done too many good deeds, so although she has repeatedly tried to refuse, she has thanked more and more.
Not only can people not forget her birthday, but even the May 19 Guanyin Purification Day, June 19 Guanyin Enlightenment Day, and September 19 Guanyin Nirvana Day are also remembered clearly, which can really be said to be irreversible.
People often say that "if you have revenge, you are a gentleman, and if you have kindness, you will not repay yourself", which is a feeling.
Guanyin Niangniang vowed to ask all suffering beings in the world to become a Buddha and be an ancestor, but because the suffering in the world is endless and endless, Guanyin Niangniang has to succumb to the position of a Bodhisattva forever.
However, Buddhists believe that her deeds and merits have already reached the realm of a Buddha, and they still call her a Buddha. According to the "Chuan Deng Shu Kan": The monk asked the wind cave: "How is the Buddha?" Cave Day: "Golden Beach Head Ma Lang Woman." It can be seen that the statement that Buddhists call Guanyin Niangniang a Buddha is not a false rumor.
Besides, the Emperor of Heaven was deeply moved when he saw that Guanyin was not only merciful and compassionate, but also true to his word, and never wavered in his belief because of fame, fortune and status.
In order to help Guanyin Niangniang continue to fulfill her promise, he specially gave Guanyin Niangniang a fish so that she could cross the ocean; Give a wicker branch so that she can exorcise evil spirits; Give a glass bottle so that she may moisten all things with nectar.
As for why it was later referred to as "Guanyin Bodhisattva", it was during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of the "world" of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the word "world" was omitted and referred to as Guanyin.
The Emperor's original intention was to seal Miaoyin alone, but Tai Bai Xing said: "The Buddha has a cloud: 'One son becomes an immortal, and nine ancestors ascend to heaven.'" If you don't ascend to heaven, the immortals will speak in vain. 'Look at the Emperor of Heaven and think twice. "
Because the Emperor did not want to offend the Buddha, he had to make a golden decree, enshrined his father Miaozhuang Wang as a good victory immortal official, his mother Boya as a good Bodhisattva, the eldest sister as Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the second sister as Fuxian Bodhisattva, and gave his eldest sister, second sister Qinglion and White Elephant as mounts, and Yutai Mountain and Emei Mountain as dojos. "
One person becomes an immortal, and the nine ancestors ascend to heaven", the Emperor of Heaven still feels that he owes Guanyin Niangniang a debt, but he can't remember what he owes, so he has to ask the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said, "There is a saying: a man has no wife and no owner, and a woman has no husband and no beams. She lives in the Chaoyin Cave, facing the four walls alone during the day, and alone with a lonely lamp at night, miserable, if you can find a person for her to be a companion......"
"The idea is good, but she had a precedent of refusing marriage long before she saw through the red dust, and now it has become a positive result, and her heart is like a rock, and her ambition is like King Kong, who can persuade her to change her mind?"
"Haven't you heard the story of Lu Dongbin's three plays of white peony?"
"Lu Dongbin is good at 'pimping' has long been famous in the Three Realms, how can he not hear of it. However, using this kind of person, I am afraid that it will not only lose the identity of a widow, but also insult the innocence of Guanyin Niangniang!"
"The most taboo way to employ people is to seek perfection and blame, and the most clever thing is to give full play to their ingenuity. According to Zitong's opinion, if you want to do this, it must be Lu Dongbin. "
The Emperor of Heaven felt that women were the best at understanding men, and since his wife thought that Lu Chunyang could take on this important responsibility, he immediately sent a decree to him to quickly go down to earth and choose Ruyi Langjun for Guanyin Niangniang.
In the spring of this year, Guanyin Niangniang suddenly had a whim and decided to travel to Emei, and by the way to see the second sister Fuxian Bodhisattva. When she flew over the Jialing River, she saw that the river was turbulent, and the people often died because of crossing the river.
