In Louling County, Hanzhong, there is a Yunhai County, and not far from the county, there is a mountain.

The mountain is not big, it is not a famous mountain, and there is no wonder.

There is a Taoist temple in the mountains, and no one knows how long it has been stored for some years. But just look at the wooden door outside the view, full of vines and flowers, and most of the wormholes, you can know a thing or two.

The name of the mountain is Chicken Foot Mountain, the name of the view is the Chicken Foot View, there are not many Taoist people in the view, only three or two people in the wild road, and five or six Taoist children.

The current master of this Taoist temple is said to be a dysentery Taoist priest, who came to the temple five years ago.

At that time, when this Taoist came, the abscesses and dysentery that were born slowly, and his face was hateful, so frightened that the pilgrims and the people in the door did not dare to approach, and they were resentful.

At that time, there was a doorkeeper who reprimanded him and wanted to drive him away, saying: "The old Taoist master has a foul smell, which frightens the laymen from outside the mountain. Please leave quickly, our small view is not prosperous. ”

The meaning of Dao Tong's words is that he is afraid that because of this Dao person, he will drive away the monks who came to Guanzhong to visit the Tao.

The dysentery listened, nodded in response, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the old watcher.

The old watchman said, "Walk slowly, walk slowly." I looked at the good face of the Taoist friend. I don't know where it came from?"

The dysentery said, "From nowhere." ”

The old man said, "Then, what are your plans for the future?"

Dysentery said: "Whether you have a plan or not, one day at a time." ”

Dao Tong pulled the old Guan Zhu and said, "Guan Lord, don't talk to this person. I don't think he was annoyed by the evil disease he was born in, and if he wants to die with us in the future, he will have to spend an extra amount of funeral expenses, which is not cost-effective. ”

The old watchman said, "I'm getting older, and I'm going to go." It's not good to have no one in charge. I see that this man is good. You can inherit my mantle. ”

Dao Tong was dumbfounded and stunned.

I saw the old viewer ask the dysentery: "Fellow Daoist, would you like to enter my view?"

The dysentery glanced up at him, but said a little arrogantly: "You want to take me as an apprentice? ”

The Taoist boy next to him listened, and his nose was almost crooked. The old viewer had a good temper and was not angry. "Yes, yes, yes." The old man has low morality and shallow morality, but he has no teacher and teacher ability all his life. It's just that there must always be someone in charge of this temple, and if I leave, I'm afraid that this temple will also disperse. ”

The dysentery Taoist thought for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm sick and have taken away the pilgrims in this view?"

The old man said, "I know some medical skills, and I can cure you." As for those who come to the incense, if you are scared away. I don't think I have anything to do with Dao Ancestor. ”

When the dysentery heard this, he agreed.

This dysentery Taoist lived in this chicken foot view, and lived for a few years, and sure enough, as the old master said, this Taoist person was cured of a dirty disease. This Taoist also answered the words of the old contemplator and stayed in the contemplation.

On this day, the sky was clear, and the old Guan Master was taking the Taoist people in the view to do a morning class, chanting the scriptures to the halfway point. Suddenly, I felt something, and I stopped.

The waiter asked, "Lord, what happened?"

The old man said: "I won't talk about it today, I won't talk about it." I'm a little tired. ”

Others are inexplicable, but the old master doesn't dare to say much.

The old master said to the waiter again: "Don't help me, let your brother come." ”

The waiter invited the dysentery. The man's dysentery and abscesses are now gone, and although he still sounds ugly, he is not frightened.

The dysentery man stepped forward to help the old watchman. "Where to go?"

The old man said, "Go back to the meditation room first, let me rest for a while." ”

The dysentery man helped the old viewer to return to the main room, and the old viewer found a blue robe that he had been reluctant to wear before, and only wore it on grand festivals.

The dysentery Taoist helped the old master wash his hands, clean his face, and when he was done, he asked again: "Where are you going?"

The old viewer was in a trance for a while, and said, "Is it okay to go up?"

Dysentery: "Yes." ”

The old man said: "How many times does it take to break the sky?"

Dysentery is humane: "Tianguan is fifty, Tianfan is twelve, Dao Qingtian is thirty-six, and Xuanzang Miao has no day to see and not think." ”

The old viewer said excitedly: "How do you do it?"

Dysentery is humanitarian: "Determination of faith is to nourish the Dao field, merit is to moisten the Dao fruit, when the fugue is empty, you have your own feelings, and you should be guided, and you have your own meritorious fruit Danshu evaluation." ”

The old viewer woke up like a dream, with a relieved smile on his face, and said, "If so, it's good." If so, it would be good. ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

The dysentery man stood beside him, and after a while, he bowed, and then went out to summon the others.

When the waiter and the disciple entered, the old master sat down on the couch, his face was serene, and he was silent.

The waiter was startled and asked, "What's wrong with the Lord?"

The dysentery Taoist sang: "The old Taoist has accumulated sixty baskets of merit, and the fruits of the field are ninety, and now it has soared to the fullest, and the immortal class has a name and surname." ”

The waiter and the disciple listened, and then they pondered, it turned out that the old master had already ascended to the immortal.

All the disciples looked at each other, the old master was not sick in comings and goings, and there was no trace of death on his face, how could he say that he would leave?

A disciple didn't believe it, so he stepped forward and touched his pulse.

The pulse is weak, but there is a pulse. When I touched my body and mind again, although I didn't see my heartbeat, it was warm.

The disciple breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "You, if you don't say good things, how can you joke about the life and death of the master?"

The dysentery did not understand, and seemed to answer: "There is life and death, and there is no life and no death." This gathering is infinitely bright, how can it be judged by life and death? ”

The disciple was stunned for a moment, and the waiter next to him stepped forward, confessed, and stroked the heart of the old man, it was really warm, and there were still aftermaths in the pulse, but if you looked carefully, it was intermittent and unconnected.

When I opened my eyelids, there was no benevolence in my eyes, and when I opened my mouth, I saw that it was stiff.

Before his death, the waiter had heard the old master explain: "If I go on another day, you will see if I am warm, if so." Then I will go to the immortals, and you will put my bones in a wooden boat, and put them in the water, and let him go, raise them in the soil, and go in the water.

If the body is stiff, it is not attaining the fruit of the Tao, and there is still a remnant of sin. Then they cremated me, made a niche, and buried me under the soil in Guanzhong. ”

Now that he thinks about it, he understands a little better, and says to the crowd: "The old master has indeed gone. ”

When all the disciples heard this, they were filled with sorrow.

But the dysentery said: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, be happy, be happy." ”

One of the disciples had already seen that he was not pleasing to the eye, and stepped forward to grab him by the hem of his clothes. He shook his fist and angrily reprimanded: "You evil way that doesn't know how to think about it!

The dysentery man was beaten up, and his eyebrows and eyes were blue.

The waiter was startled, stepped forward to stop him, and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing, how to move your hands and feet." ”

The disciple was about to fight again, and the Taoist said, "The Lord of the Views has taken off the wheel and ascended to the heavens, although there is no result, but it also surpasses the blessings of heaven and man. Accumulate merit again. It's okay to be a fairy, why don't you like it?"

When he saw that disciple's face was stunned, he said to everyone: "Don't you think that there is something worth remembering about this Six Desires Hongchen?

The disciples were speechless.

The waiter saw that the time was almost up, and immediately said, "Okay, okay, don't argue, now we still have to deal with the aftermath of the old master." ”

The big apprentice said, "I don't know what the teacher said before his death?"

The waiter explained the last words of the old watchman.

The big apprentice said, "Although the teacher has been guarding this Taoist temple all his life, he always has a few close friends. The parent official of Yamashita County. is also a kind person, and there are a few people who often come, and they always have to say ......"

The disciples nodded their heads in good faith, and the Taoist man spoke again, "All things." Annoyance!"

The big apprentice said angrily, "What are you going to do?"

The dysentery said: "The master of the temple is going to go quietly and quietly, you have to beat gongs and drums for him? Why is it not annoying?"

A disciple argued: "The teacher's future affairs are not up to us alone, and there are always favors in the early years." If you don't invite people to come, you don't agree with the courtesy, how can you say the past?"

The rest immediately complied. Only the Taoist laughed and said, "It is said that the dead are great." How, in the end, the dead still have to do favors to the living?"

Without waiting for anyone else to say, the Taoist said, "I'll tell you a story." In the past, there was an old woman who cultivated Taoism in her early years and practiced Buddhism in the following years. He has done good deeds all his life and accumulated virtue, he is erudite and knowledgeable, and he is a good knowledge with righteous faith.

Such a person knows life and death before leaving, and knows his life. Before I died, I felt it. Therefore, he confessed to the future before his death.

The woman had three sons, one was an official, one was rich, and the other was not married. When she was about to depart, she confessed, 'Son, do not weep when I go, or I will not be willing to go, and I will always think of you, lest I will not be able to go up.' ’

The eldest son said, 'Mother, we know. ’

The woman said, 'That's good, that's good.' If you really have a heart, then invite some Taoist monks to your mother, and ask them to help your mother, and return to the Dharma realm as soon as possible. ’

The third son responded.

Three days later, the woman went to the fairy, and the sons were very sad, and according to the woman's explanation before her death, they invited the Taoist monk to do the work.

The woman's eldest son and second son all made many friends, one was noble, the other was rich, and the mother had to do a funeral, and there were many people who came, among whom the high-ranking officials and the rich did not know how much.

On the day of the funeral, when the filial son stepped forward, the second son suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the eldest brother's sleeve and asked, 'Eldest brother, will we cry later?'

The youngest son next to him listened and interjected: 'Mother confessed before her death, don't cry, of course don't cry, why does the second brother ask that?'

The eldest son, who was an official, said: 'The younger brother is too young and too ignorant. I don't know how to do it. In this world, there is nothing more terrible than this. I am an official, your second brother is a gentleman, and he lives by his name and face. If my mother doesn't cry at her funeral, won't she have to bear the name of unfilial piety?'

When the second son heard this, he said yes again and again. Although the youngest son felt that it should not be like this, he could only obey the two elder brothers.

So, the old mother's coffin money, the three sons cried and grabbed the sky, and the guests and friends present were all moved, all saying that their mother was virtuous and their son was filial. ”

After the dysentery Taoist finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and after all the disciples listened, the elder disciple of the old Guan Lord said: "What do you want to say? ”

The dysentery man laughed and said: "What should you do? If you listen to it, you will know that the third son is really unfilial." ”

Everyone was suspicious, and the Taoist said, "As I said earlier, that woman has cultivation and practices all kinds of virtues. But after all, he is just a person who practices at home, and although he has righteous beliefs and righteous thoughts, he may not be able to settle his mind.

I'm telling you, you may not understand, after all, since ancient times, all saints have not said anything about life and death. This is needless to say, but in the eyes of people, there is a great horror. Today, I will tell you about this terrible horror of life and death!" (To be continued......)
