A long, long time ago, there was a paradise called "Flower Valley". No matter how many strife and wars the outside world is, this place has always maintained a sense www.biquge.info of tranquility and tranquility.

The valley is full of flowers, and the four seasons are like spring. There are not many inhabitants in it, and there are about 1,000 people in hundreds of households in one village. The villagers are self-sufficient and have been living a happy life in peace and contentment. I don't know if it's the play of fate or the jealousy of God, one thing has brought the Flower-seeking Valley to destruction.

The story begins with a family of two.

"Wow......"

A baby girl's cry broke the quiet night and added life to the family, and the faces of the young couple who had just become parents were full of joy.

The baby girl has been smart, sweet and lovely since childhood, and is deeply loved by her parents. Parents regard it as a pearl in their palms, holding it in their hands for fear of falling, and holding it in their mouths for fear of melting.

As time passed, the baby girl gradually grew up, beautiful and generous, simple and kind, and won the love of everyone in the village. Unexpectedly, she is also a blessed person.

She had just come of age that year, and one night for some unknown reason, she dreamed that her parents had died. When she woke up, she realized that it was a dream, so she didn't pay attention to it, just said that it was an ordinary nightmare, but the unusually real picture lingered in her heart for a long time. But she never imagined that just a few days later, her dream would become a reality.

As in a dream, the house went on fire, and her parents tried their best to get her out, but they both died in the fire. For the first time, she tasted feelings of helplessness and sadness.

Since then, she has somehow developed the ability to predict doom.

Seeing that she was lonely, the villagers reached out to help, and she also felt a little warmth in addition to the pain. In order to repay the villagers, she will tell her foresight and remind the villagers to pay attention. The villagers only said that she was deeply shocked and talked nonsense, but they didn't take it to heart, thinking that every one of her predictions would come true, not the slightest.

At first, the prophecies were about broken legs and arms, and then death, and all of these things were all in her words. She didn't think too much about it, she didn't hold back, she just kept reminding the villagers out of kindness, until she found that the villagers no longer cared for her in the past.

She couldn't understand why the villagers who used to be kind and kind didn't want to see her again, they all avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, and even cast vicious eyes at her, and some people cursed behind her back, she just wanted to help them avoid these disasters.

In this way, she experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection again.

Everyone said that she was an ominous person, a person who would bring bad luck, but was that really the case? Who would not have been born, old, sick, and died, with good fortune and misfortune? It just so happened that she could foresee these bad luck that did not happen.

Simple and kind, she didn't give up, she just wanted to help the villagers. The villagers didn't want to see her, so she went to the door to complain. But it was this simple kindness that brought her her bad luck.

The villagers finally broke into her house and tied her up, ignoring her cries and pleadings, ignoring her frightened faces.

In the village square, wooden stakes had already been placed, and there were piles of firewood under the stakes, and she understood what the villagers wanted to do when she saw these things. She struggled, pleaded, and cried, but the villagers' countenances were cold and resentful, and they ruthlessly shoved a mass of cloth into her mouth to stop her crying.

"Why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong?"

With these questions in mind, she was tied to a stake.

A gray old man began to pray, while the rest of the villagers kept shouting, "Burn this demon girl who brings bad luck!" and she could only leave two lines of tears when she was gagged.

Just as the villagers were preparing to light the fire, a loud noise rang out in the crowd.

"Stop!"

Out of the puzzled crowd came a monk.

The monk looked very young, but he had a compassionate and resolute face.

"Who are you, and why are you stopping our ritual?" someone in the crowd immediately asked angrily.

The monk folded his hands and said "Amitabha".

"The poor monk is a wandering monk who passes through this place, but I don't know why the benefactors treat a weak woman so cruelly?"

The villagers' ritual of "burning the demon girl" was blocked, and they all showed angry eyes, while the woman who was tied to a wooden stake and had already cried into tears looked at the monk pleadingly.

"This woman is a demon!"

"She can bring calamity and death!"

"She first killed her own parents, and then came to plague the whole village!"

......

The villagers were chattering and angry about the past, and the wise monks had learned what had happened.

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, misfortune and blessing are the impermanence of life, how can she be caused by her words. In the eyes of the poor monk, what she did should be a good intention. ”

Where can the foolish people in a remote corner understand this, they are not moved by the monk's words, and still clamoring to get rid of the demon girl.

The monk felt compassion in his heart and said secretly: "Alas, there is chaos outside, and I can't imagine that there is such a sad thing in this place like a paradise, this is the ignorance of the world." I am a Buddha with compassion, and I should uphold the aspiration of the Seven Buddhas and educate all people. ”

The villagers, armed with torches, ignored the monk and stepped forward to light the fire, but the monk stopped them in a flash. With a wave of his hand, the torches in the hands of the villagers were extinguished, and with another wave of his hand, the binding on the woman's body disappeared, and the blockage in her mouth disappeared.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the monk's hand, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while.

At this moment, the white-haired old man, who had recited the prayer earlier, spoke.

"Why do monks wander?"

"The monk who seeks the Tao is to save all sentient beings. ”

"Saving one person and harming a thousand people, is this what the monks call 'universal salvation of all sentient beings'?"

"The poor monk said that fortune and misfortune are the impermanence of life, not caused by her, she is just a talent with the ability to predict one or two. ”

"Why do the monks say that?"

This is the simplest truth in the cycle of heavenly principles. ”

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, we are not unreasonable people, but there has been an unshakable rule in this village since ancient times, that is, those who are not loved by others must be burned at the stake." ”

In fact, there is no such rule here, the old man just wants to find a punishment to block the monk's mouth, so that the monk has nothing to say. Sure enough, the monk looked at everyone suspiciously, and everyone nodded yes in tacit agreement.

"Alas, I can't imagine that there are such unreasonable rules. ”

"The rules have been passed down from ancient times, and we dare not violate the teachings of our ancestors, otherwise we will be punished by God. ”

Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, since this ancestral teaching, there will also be its cause and effect, as an outsider, the monk is not easy to obstruct, if it is really for the village to incur the curse of heaven is not their own sin.

The monk didn't know how to answer, and the old man looked at the monk and smiled.

"In that case, please get out of the way, monks. ”

The torches were rekindled, and the villagers stepped forward to tie the woman up again.

"Don't ...... I didn't do anything wrong, so why did you do this to me?...... "The woman's cry rang out, but the villagers turned a deaf ear.

"Wait a minute!" the monk said, stopping the man who was about to tie up the woman.

"Are the monks going to push our whole village into a fire pit?" asked the old man.

"Alas, providence!" the monk folded his hands and said helplessly. "If it is a sin not to be loved, then the poor monk is willing to love her!"

The words stirred up a thousand waves, and the villagers stayed on the spot. The sad and helpless woman burst into tears when she heard this, and the monk's words kept echoing in her heart.

"He wants to love me......" muttered with tears of excitement.

"The monk knows that this is a violation of the rules and precepts!" The old man was also angry, he didn't expect that the seemingly well-behaved monk in front of him would say these words.

"The ambition of the poor monk is to save all sentient beings, but this one person can't save it, how can he save the world!"

The old man was furious, looked at the woman and then at the monk, but smiled: "Good, good, good! What a demon monk! What a demon girl! Come, put the demon monk and the demon girl to death together!"

When the few people holding torches heard this, they immediately brandished their torches and smashed them at the monk, and the monks did not dodge or avoid the Buddha's anger, and the torches were bounced off one after another.

"Amitabha. ”

The shock made everyone's ears buzz.
