On the official road of Jingzhou, Tang Yunxiang is slowly riding a horse forward, since Tang Yunxiang said to the master that he wants to travel the world, Tang Yunxiang has been wandering aimlessly on the road in Jingzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, a few horses passed behind Tang Yunxiang, and rushed forward, Tang Yunxiang also had many people behind him speeding forward, Tang Yunxiang looked at the many people around him with a puzzled face, Tang Yunxiang couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and directly stopped a person who had just walked to his side, including all the people and horses, the man looked at Tang Yunxiang with a shocked and frightened face, Tang Yunxiang looked at the man helplessly, patted him on the shoulder, calmed his tone slightly, and asked: "Don't worry! I'm not going to kill you, don't be so afraid!" I just wanted to ask where such a large group of you are going, has something big happened?" Tang Yunxiang said, and pointed to the large group of people rushing behind him.

When the man heard that Tang Yunxiang was just asking what happened, instead of killing him, the man was immediately relieved, exhaled, patted his chest, and had an expression of the rest of his life.

Then 1510 told Tang Yunxiang about it.

It turned out to be a famous young man near Jingzhou, who was going to visit a nearby temple, as if the temple was still nameless, and the young man was going to challenge the host of the nameless temple after visiting.

And that young man with a thin reputation is the young patriarch of a small family in a nearby city.

The bored people in the neighborhood and the people brought by the young patriarch all went to the nameless temple to see a good show.

After Tang Yunxiang listened to the reason, he let go of the person who was pulled by him and asked him to continue to rush to the nameless temple, and Tang Yunxiang thought about it for a while and followed these people to the nameless temple, after all, Tang Yunxiang didn't have anything to do now, and it was good to think that it would be good to go and see it together.

Tang Yunxiang followed the large army of Jianghu people to the nameless temple, and the presiding officer of that temple was now talking to the young patriarch. Tang Yunxiang squeezed forward, wanting to hear their conversation.

"Amitabha. What is the matter with this little benefactor coming to the temple? If there is no major matter, please don't disturb the quiet place of the Buddhist family. ”

The presiding officer of the nameless temple looked at the large number of people in front of him and the young patriarch, and said to the young patriarch.

The young patriarch smiled, bowed slightly to the host of the nameless temple, bowed his hand, and explained the purpose of coming here: "Xiaosheng Shen Shang." The main reason for this uninvited visit is to visit you, the master, and to bury my mother's relics under the ancient tree of your temple. And my mother also said that you recognize this rosary. After saying that, Shen Shang took out what he said about his mother's relics, a string of rosaries, from his clothes, and Shen Shang then handed the rosary to the host.

The old monk presided over the string of prayer beads that Shen Shang took out, his eyes were instantly moist, and he fell into the memories of the past, looking at Shen Shang's outstretched hand and the prayer beads, the host caught the prayer beads with trembling hands, and recited: "Amitabha."

Shen Shang looked at the old monk's trembling results in his mother's rosary, and understood that his mother and the old monk must have a story, so Shen Shang apologized to the people around him, and asked everyone to return.

"Thank you all for coming today. But then it's about Shen Shang's family affairs, there's nothing to see, so friends who have something to do please leave first, here Shen Shang is sorry first, and he is willing to stay and listen to a story together, and he is also welcome below. ”

When other people heard this, although they were very disappointed, they still should go and stay. Tang Yunxiang naturally stayed, originally Tang Yunxiang came here to watch the drama and listen to the story.

Then Shen Shang asked the old monk to explain the story of him and his mother, and the old monk's disciple, a very young little monk, hurriedly came to support the host, and sat under the ancient tree in the temple courtyard with the host, Shen Shang and Tang Yunxiang and several other people who stayed to listen to the story also sat cross-legged beside the host.

The host touched the rosary in his hand, looked at the ancient tree in front of him, and had a memory expression on his face, and then everyone listened to the story that the host slowly told.

"At that time, I was still a little monk, and Lord Shen's mother was also a young girl in the flower season. The story unfolded under the flat voice of the host.

The young monk is handsome, and under the guidance of the master, he often goes out of the temple to change his fate and help the people to cultivate.

In this way, the young little monk met Shen Shang's mother at that time: Miss Xiu. After the handsome and handsome little monk helped the show girl several times, the show girl gradually had a good impression of the little monk and often went to play with the little monk. The little monk usually has nothing to play with the show girl except for chanting the scriptures, that is, chanting the scriptures, and in the end he can only tell the story of the Buddhist scriptures with the show girl.

One day, the little monk found that he gradually had a good impression of the show girl, and immediately had a cold attitude towards the show girl, perhaps because women are naturally very sensitive, the show girl noticed the change in the little monk's attitude, but the show girl persevered every day to find the little monk and listen to the little monk tell stories.

One day after that, when the little monk was chanting the scriptures, the show girl came to the little monk again to listen to the story, and the little monk continued to chant the scriptures, but the show girl's voice lingered outside the door, and the little monk had no choice but to open the door of the room and go to tell the story to the show girl.

The two were under the ancient tree of the temple, and the show girl sat next to the little monk, supporting her head with one hand and wrapping her knee with the other, watching the little monk tell her stories. The little monk said that today he would tell Miss Xiu a story called "Three Refuges".

"Once upon a time there was an old monk who was always patronized by thieves, and he couldn't bear it anymore. And it came to pass, that day, when the thief came again, he said to the thief, "Put your hand through the crack in the door, and I will give you whatever you want." The little monk spoke slowly.

"That old monk is really! Do you think that if you do this, the thief will not come in the future! If it were me........" Miss Xiu suddenly stopped, watched the little monk stick out her tongue, and motioned for him to continue.

The little monk glanced at the show girl helplessly and continued.

The thief was overjoyed when he heard this, and put his hand through the crack in the door. Who knew that the old monk grabbed his hand, tied it to the pillar, and then beat him with a stick, shouting while beating back: Take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge in the monk!"

"Hey, good job!" Miss Xiu listened, dancing with her hands, as if she were the old monk, and the thief who was tied up by her in front of her.

"Heh......." The little monk couldn't help laughing, and there was tenderness in his eyes that he couldn't detect, "The thief was in great pain, and he helplessly shouted: Take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge in the monk." ”

This is the famous story of the three refuges in the Buddhist scriptures. After the little monk finished speaking, there was still a smile on his lips.
