However, it is said that after Guanyin Bodhisattva returned to the South China Sea, there was a good wealth boy and a dragon girl holding a pearl to come forward to visit. The Bodhisattva closed his eyes and said nothing, sitting quietly on the lotus platform and wandering into the void.

After a while, the Bodhisattva opened his eyes, looked at the good wealth boy beside him, and thought:

"This red boy was brought in by me to teach, although it was my mercy and kindness. But if the Bull Demon King Rakshasa and his wife don't count tomorrow, they will definitely hold a grudge against me. If it comes to the great tribulation, it may not be my cause and effect. ”

After thinking about it, the Bodhisattva opened his mouth and said to the red boy:

"Now that the world is entangled in cause and effect, and karma is continuous, I have the heart to go to the lower realm to save sentient beings. Go with me. ”

Since the red boy was accepted by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be a good wealth boy when he traveled to the west, he has not been to the world for hundreds of years. When he heard the words of the Bodhisattva, he was also a little happy in his heart, so he answered:

"Follow the Bodhisattva's teachings. ”

Immediately, the Bodhisattva got up, took the red child to the auspicious clouds, and spent half a day to come to the Great Song Kingdom of the Dongsheng Divine Continent. The Bodhisattva stood at the head of the clouds, and saw a wave of resentment rushing into the air below, and the voice of the believer's prayer came to his heart. I couldn't help but sigh:

"There is a Buddha suffering below, and the poor monk is now going to help. ”

After the Bodhisattva finished speaking, he immediately fell from the clouds, turned into an old monk, and the red boy also turned into a little monk. The two dressed as masters and apprentices.

When I walked into the city, I saw five or six monks sitting on both sides of the road. These monks, all dressed in rags and yellow muscles, were sitting on the side of the road, begging while chanting sutras.

From time to time, pedestrians passed by on both sides of the road, either giving some food or a few copper plates. Whenever they received alms, these monks would look happy and thank the donor.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed in his heart when he saw it, so he stepped forward and asked:

"Amitabha, several of them are all Buddhas, and they don't recite sutras and practice Buddha in the temple, why do they do this begging here?"

Seeing the Bodhisattva's kind expression, one of the leading monks nodded and sighed:

"I'm afraid the elder is a monk from afar, and he doesn't know what we are doing here. A few of us were originally monks from Qingfeng Temple outside the city. The Qingfeng Temple was originally built by a high monk in the Tang Dynasty, and the incense was also strong before. ”

Later, after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the Taoist Gate was respected, and the Qingfeng Temple gradually weakened. Especially half a year ago, a Taoist came to the Ping Demon Temple outside the city, this person refined spells and often revealed supernatural powers. ”

Later, he actually said that there was a monster in the Qingfeng Temple, and the local people were bewitched by him, so they destroyed the Qingfeng Temple, and we and other monks lost their residences, so they had to live on the streets and do this thing of begging. I really hope to fill my stomach and get some money to rebuild Seifuji. ”

When the Bodhisattva heard this, his heart moved, and he had already calculated the cause and effect. It turned out that the Qingfeng Temple was declining due to incense, and one of the spiders formed a spider web behind the Buddha statue, and obtained the Buddha's shade Buddha nature, and actually gave birth to spirituality and became a spirit.

And the Taoist in the Naping Demon Temple is named Liu Shenggen, who is originally a loose cultivator. Later, in order to make a living, he made a temple blessing in the Ping Demon Temple. Because he waited carefully for Wang Fei on weekdays, Wang Fei was a god clone, so he passed on some of his qi training methods.

Later, this Liu Shenggen happened to pass by Qingfeng Temple, and saw that the spider spirit in the temple had some climate, so he told people about it. When the local people heard that Liu Xianshi said that there were monsters in Qingfeng Temple, they gathered people in horror and took advantage of the strong yang energy at noon to tear down the building of Qingfeng Temple and destroy the Buddha statue and Buddha hall.

These innocent monks have lost their place of existence, some of them have gone to other places and found other temples to become monks, and the remaining ones have no choice but to go out and beg for money, wanting to rebuild Qingfeng Temple.

After the Bodhisattva finished calculating the cause and effect, he had to sigh and say:

"Amitabha, cause and effect are entangled to this, you don't have to be anxious, I can show you a path. ”

One of the monks, about forty years old, was the strongest age, but because of the lack of food and clothing, coupled with the heavy rain a few days ago, this monk had nowhere to stay, and suffered from the heavy rain and cold. At this time, it was already infected with a wind chill. While coughing, he recited the Great Compassion Mantra and prayed for the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

At this time, when the monk heard that the Bodhisattva could show them a path, he was immediately blessed with his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to pray:

"I hope the elders will advise!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled:

At this time, in the smoke and rain lake outside the city, a woman was taking lotus flowers. This girl has a Buddha fate and can give blessings and wisdom to sentient beings. Go to the lake and beg her. You will get what you want. ”

When several monks heard this, they were all overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to thank the Bodhisattva. After the bow, the Bodhisattva was gone. Several monks looked at each other, thinking that they had just daydreamed and hallucinated.

Only the middle-aged monk who recited the Great Compassion Mantra just now smiled and said:

"This must be the manifestation of Guanyin Bodhisattva to save us. ”

The rest of the monks suddenly realized when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to thank the Bodhisattva, and then several people supported each other and walked all the way to the Yanyu Lake outside the city.

This Yanyu Lake is a beautiful local scenery, and it is often visited by literati and artists on weekdays. Several monks have lived in the area for many years and therefore recognize the path.

Several people walked for about half an hour, and soon arrived at Yanyu Lake, which was early summer and the weather was not yet hot. In addition, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Therefore, there are a lot of tourists.

Several monks watched for a while, and saw that in the middle of the lake in the distance, there was indeed a woman, wearing a white gauze dress and carrying a blue bamboo basket. I was rowing a small boat and picking flowers among the lotus bushes in the middle of the lake.

Several monks were overjoyed and hurried to the lake, so the lake area was not small, so it was far away from the woman. A few monks were helpless, and it was not good to shout loudly. He sat on the edge of the lake, recited the scriptures silently, and prayed and called for the Bodhisattva to come to the rescue.

Sure enough, after a while, the woman rowed a small boat, but she came to a few monks, and when she saw that these five or six monks were looking at her with a reverent face, she bowed and saluted, and asked a few monks:

"I wonder what the elders are doing here?"

The middle-aged monk saw that the woman was dressed in white, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes holding lotus flowers, really like Guanyin Bodhisattva. I can't help but feel respect. I told the story of what happened to me and the others and Seifuji.

When the woman heard this, she said softly:

"The little girl has been admiring Buddhism since she was a child, and since several elders want to rebuild the temple. Then I'm here to help you. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she walked gently to the side of the road. Because this woman was born with a holy temperament and a beautiful face like a flower. At this time, there were already many people watching on the roadside. Several of the young scholars were dressed in silk and wore jade pendants around their waists, and they looked like rich sons. At this time, everyone looked at the woman with admiration.

The woman came to the side of the road, looked around at the people without being shy, and whispered to the people:

"Today, there are elders who want to rebuild Qingfeng Temple, and the little woman is not talented, and she is willing to help a few elders and old people. Today, please give generously to the benefactors, and if you can put the gold and silver into the little woman's bamboo basket, the little woman will voluntarily marry this person. ”

Everyone present was overjoyed when they heard this, and there was a scholar surnamed Zhao, who heard the words and said happily to this woman:

"Is this true?"

The woman chuckled softly:

"Although the folk girl is a woman, she also knows the word integrity, and she will never regret it. ”

Zhao Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took out a silver ingot, about the size of two taels. Look at the woman's bamboo basket and gently throw it over. Who knew that the silver crossed an arc, but it slipped past the bamboo basket.

The woman smiled lightly and saluted to Zhao Gongzi:

"Thank you for your charity. ”

After speaking, he asked a few monks to pick up the ingot. Zhao Gongzi was a little disappointed when he saw that he missed the shot. Because he was extremely unwilling, he took out another ingot of silver and threw it, but he knew that the silver passed by the woman, but it still couldn't go into the basket.

Next to him, Zhao Gongzi's friend Wang Gongzi laughed and said:

"Hanyu is not good at this silver throwing technique. ”

After speaking, he asked the servant who followed him to take out a piece of silver, which was about the size of two taels. Wang Gongzi took it in his hand, glanced at the woman's bamboo basket lightly, and then threw it away, and the silver crossed an arc, but it was still brushing the edge of the bamboo basket.

When Zhao Gongzi saw Wang Gongzi throwing the silver, he was still a little worried in his heart. Because this prince is a cockfighting lackey on weekdays, he is very good at archery.

Zhao Gongzi admired the appearance of this bamboo basket girl and wanted to marry her, but when he saw that Wang Gongzi also had this heart, he was a little anxious. When I saw that Wang Gongzi also missed. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I was busy taking the silver and continuing to throw, lest I be voted for by others in advance.

This Zhao Gongzi and Wang Gongzi are all sons of large local families. The two of them came forward to throw the money, and the rest of the people no longer doubted it. Immediately, a wealthy businessman who was about half a hundred years old took a fancy to the appearance of the bamboo basket girl, and asked with a smile:

"I don't know how much silver is thrown once?"

The girl laughed when she heard this:

"The little woman did this purely to make offerings to the Buddha, so it doesn't matter how much, as long as it is gold or silver. ”

The rich merchant was overjoyed, and even took a piece of broken silver the size of a soybean and threw it forward. Who knew that the silver was too small, and it fell on its own before it could fly to the woman.

The onlookers nearby laughed, and Wang Gongzi even laughed:

"Master Huang is old, I'm afraid my strength is not enough. ”

The rich businessman Huang was not angry when he heard this, and even said with a smile:

Although the old man is over half a hundred years old, his heart is still young. ”

After saying that, he took out a grain of broken silver and threw it. Who knows that this time is even more unbearable, and it is not as far as last time.

After the onlookers laughed, even many people were moved, and they took out the silver and threw it away. But somehow, although the silver was thrown near and far. But no one threw the money into the girl's basket.

About half an hour later, the monks had already picked up nearly three hundred taels of silver. Zhao Gongzi has been missing the bank, and he is very anxious. When I was about to cast again, I suddenly found that my purse was empty, and it turned out that unconsciously, the fifty taels of silver brought by this trip had all been thrown.

Zhao Gongzi was in a hurry, and when he was about to borrow some silver from Wang Gongzi, he found that Wang Gongzi had already ordered his servants to go home and get the silver.

Zhao Gongzi knew in his heart that he couldn't borrow money at this time, so he hurriedly ordered his servant to go home and get the money. At the same time, I secretly prayed that God and Buddha would bless no one to throw the bamboo basket.
