Xuanzang inquired about the route of the broken tile kiln at the south gate and wanted to find his mother-in-law. Then Liu Xiaoer said: "Little Master, who are you from that mother-in-law?"

Xuanzang said: "Donor, I am the grandson of that mother-in-law." ”

Liu Xiaoer was puzzled: "Why didn't your parents send someone to find your mother-in-law for so long?"

Xuanzang wept and said: "Back then, my father Chen Guangrui was beaten to death by his father-in-law Liu Hong at the Hongjiang Ferry, and my mother was forcibly occupied by traitors. ”

Liu Xiaoer jumped up with a sigh and exclaimed: "There are still such humiliations in the world, it's unbelievable, little master, I'll take you to find that mother-in-law." ”

The two hurried away and found the mother-in-law on the street. The mother-in-law had white hair, a broken bowl in her hand, a bamboo pole with cracked ends, a pair of white eyes that could not see anything, her clothes were tattered, her face was miserable, and her hands were full of dark spots of age, which was disgusting.

Xuanzang hurriedly stepped forward to hug her mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, my grandson is coming to you." ”

The mother-in-law said, "Who are you? Why is the voice so similar to my son Chen Guangrui?" ”

Xuanzang felt a trace of strangeness in his heart, was his voice like Chen Guangrui?

Xuanzang said: "Mother-in-law." I am not Chen Guangrui, I am his son Chen Yi, I am already a monk, and my legal name is Xuanzang. ”

The mother-in-law was so excited that she burst into tears and said, "What about your father? Why didn't you send someone to pick me up for so long? Why did you become a monk at such a young age?" ”

Xuanzang said: "Mother-in-law, my father Chen Guangrui was killed by thieves at the Hongjiang Ferry, my mother was forcibly occupied by thieves until now, in order to save my life from being poisoned by thieves, my mother gave birth to me not long ago, put me on a wooden board and threw me in the river, was rescued by Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou, so I worshiped the Buddha since I was a child, and when I grew up, I was shaved by the master and became a monk. ”

The mother-in-law cried: "My son was killed by thieves at the Hongjiang ferry?"

"Yes, mother-in-law!"

"Guangrui, why are you so miserable?"

"Mother-in-law, don't be sad, I have to go to Chang'an quickly, and ask my grandfather Prime Minister Yin to send troops to kill the thief and save my mother. ”

The mother-in-law cried: "My son has been studying poetry and books since he was a child, he was the champion in high school, he was favored by the emperor and the prime minister, that is, he gained fame and married a beautiful wife, but he was killed by the thief. Grandson, you want to avenge your father!"

"Yes, mother-in-law, I swear to avenge my father. Xuanzang gritted his teeth when he said it, which made people shudder.

The father suddenly killed himself, and he was so ruthless that he wanted to cut off his neck, and normal people don't need to be so vigorous when they kill themselves. Self-slashing neck, blood flowing, people will not die immediately, before death the muscles and muscles of the hands and feet will inevitably struggle, as the saying goes, 'fight for life', make a big movement, but the mother is asleep, I don't know at all. These unreasonable strangeness, Xuanzang has been on the road for five days and thought about it over and over again, his father is not committing suicide, there must be another hidden situation.

Who forged a fake blood book to guide me to my mother's search, and who forced my father to death at dawn?

No matter who it is, if you do such a thing that forces people's lives, its viciousness is like a demon.

Xuanzang made up his mind that he would inevitably cultivate the Tao of Asceticism, be careful and forbearing, find out the truth, and avenge his father.

The mother-in-law cried: "Okay, good, my grandson has ambition to kill the thief and take revenge." Child, go to Chang'an City and ask your grandfather for help, and get your mother out of the fire pit. Pity my so delicate daughter-in-law, but how did she endure this long and hard life, I only said that my life was too bitter, who knew that my daughter-in-law was the real hard worker!"

Xuanzang looked at his mother-in-law's blind eyes, his heart moved, and he knelt down and prayed to the sky: "I think I, Xuanzang, am eighteen years old, with the body of a dignified man, but I can't avenge my parents, and I am ashamed to be a person in heaven and earth." Today, I took my mother's order to find my mother-in-law, if there is a god in the sky (God lives in the sky), if there is a Buddha in the earth (the Buddha lives in the earth), all the blame will be received by Xuanzang. If Heaven really has the virtue of a good life, please perform a miracle to restore my mother-in-law's eyes. When he had finished praying, he gently picked up his mother-in-law, stretched out his tongue, and licked her blind eyes.

The first lick, there is Ruixiang floating in the air, and the white fog barrier on the mother-in-law's eyes becomes shallow; the second lick, there is a faint sound of fairy music in the air, and the mother-in-law's eyes are restored, and her eyes are clear, which is better than before.

Xuanzang said in his heart: Sure enough, there are gods and Buddhas appearing in the sky. If they can hear my prayers here, why are they blind and deaf and can't hear the hearts of my family of three asking for mercy for the Bodhisattva's golden body? I am willing to recite 10,000 sutras, do ascetic practice for 10 years, and transcend bliss for 3,000 souls. 's father didn't kill Chen Guangrui with one punch, but why did he have to pay for his life?

So, what sins did I do in my previous life? Who were I in my previous life? The Buddha talked about reincarnation and karma, so what sinful and vicious things did I do in my previous life? So that after I was reincarnated, even the gods secretly harmed me and my family.

After entering Buddhism, Xuanzang knew that people have a past life and this life. Where there is a consequence, there is a cause for iniquity!

The mother-in-law's eyes regained her sight, hugged Xuanzang and looked left and right, happy and sad, knelt on the ground, looked at the sky and prayed, thanking the gods for restoring her eyes, thanking the gods for letting him have a queen of the Chen family, thanking the gods for leaving a flame of revenge, and going to Chang'an to move the rescue soldiers to kill the thief and save the mother.

Xuanzang took out some broken gold from his arms and handed it to Liu Xiaoer: "Donor, this gold, one is to repay my mother-in-law's previous rental debt, the second is to rent your house for another month, and the third is my mother-in-law's food money, please take my mother-in-law back to the store, and give her a room, you take care of my mother-in-law, I will go, I will come back to pick up my mother-in-law for the rest of the month, and I will thank you again when the time comes." ”

Liu Xiaoer was overjoyed, took the gold, smiled from ear to ear, agreed repeatedly, patted his chest and promised that he would serve his mother-in-law's diet and daily life well, so that Xuanzang could rest assured that he would go back quickly.
