Rise From the Humble

"Haha, Fat Monk, you are already old, and you look like an eminent monk. I didn't expect that you would reveal your true colors so quickly. You are talking about a relationship. You just heard about our Lord's happiness in having a baby, and you came here to sell it at a high price. Your beads."

The guard at the door laughed disdainfully when he heard that the fat monk took out two rosary beads and wanted to marry him.

"No, no, the donor is obsessed with the relationship. If you need money or silver, how can you establish a relationship?! Isn't it a vulgar business?! Therefore, these two rosary beads will not be taken away from you. Donor, listen up. , The poor monk will not take any money, nor will he drink any tea, nor will he eat any food. As long as the poor monk looks out for the little nobles, reciting a Buddhist sutra is enough. "

The fat monk chuckled and shook his head, said slowly, and finally chanted the Buddha's name.

Don’t take any penny!

Hearing what the fat monk said, the guard looked at him intently and felt that he was indeed an eminent monk, without a trace of worldly fireworks.

"Amitabha, fate is something you can meet but cannot ask for on the road of spiritual practice, no matter whether it is Taoism or Buddhism. At that time, the empress Wu Zetian, who was the only emperor in the world, was born, and Yuan Tiangang formed a good relationship. One became the supreme queen, and the other achieved the supreme immortality. ; Recently, Yang Bancheng, the richest man in Yangjia Village in northwest Shaoxing, knows that when he was born, his family was poor. He also met a leprous monk and became the richest man in Yangjia Village and even Xiaoshan County in less than ten years after he grew up. Everyone said His wealth alone accounted for half of Xiaoshan County. The mangy-headed monk also accumulated merits, became the abbot of a large temple, and achieved the rank of Arhat. When they became friends, a villager from Yangjia Village who showed the way to the mangy-headed monk also became Yang Bancheng's steward relied on the Yang family and lived a prosperous and happy life. He even had three concubines."

The fat monk turned the beads and said to the guard with a smile, "Today, the little noble man's destiny has come, my destiny has come, and your destiny has also come. Could you please tell me and catch it?" This incredible wealth?"

"Master, wait a moment, this is a gift." The servant was so full of the fat monk's chicken soup that he couldn't refuse.

Soon, the guards came to the second gate.

"Xiao Erhei, you are not guarding the front door. What do you want to report to the governor when you come to the second gate? If it is not something important, don't disturb the governor. The eldest son only added the young master and the young lady. , I am a father for the first time in my life, and my wife and relatives are looking after the young master and the young lady."

The old woman on duty at the second gate, Mrs. Wang, knew the guards. They were from the same alley and were neighbors. When she saw Erhei approaching, she reminded him.

"His aunt, an enlightened monk came to the front door and said that he saw two pairs of good fortune in the backyard of our Yamen. He counted with his fingers and knew that two little nobles were born in the backyard. He said they were precious beyond words. I want to give the rosary beads that he has blessed by two eminent monks to the two young nobles to create a good relationship."

The guard Erhei explained.

"You've grown old, and you've got a bad relationship. You're just a liar in the name of a monk, trying to defraud the master of his money." Mrs. Wang shook her head when she heard this, and almost spat Erhei's face.

"His aunt, I'm not a fool. Can I tell you inside without asking clearly? This is a real eminent monk. His two rosary beads are like luminous pearls. They are big, round and smooth. They are distinguished by eminent monks. I don’t want to write, I don’t want to drink tea, I don’t want to eat, I just want to recite two verses of sutra to the young nobleman in person to create a good relationship.”

The guard Erhei waved his hands repeatedly and tried to explain, denying that he had been deceived and that the monk outside was a liar.

"You really don't want any money?" Mrs. Wang was startled, "Then he really might be a master."

"His aunt should pass a message inside, let the master decide whether to see you or not. If the rosary beads given by the eminent monk to protect peace are blocked by us, wouldn't we be sorry for the young master and the young lady?"

Erhei, the guard, advised.

"What you said makes sense. I'll pass it on to you, old woman." Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement, leaving another woman to guard the door. She went in to report.

Soon, before it was time for a cup of tea, Mrs. Wang came back from the backyard.

"How is it, his aunt?" Erhei, the guard, asked impatiently, wanting to know the outcome.

"Old lady, I'm going to take action. There's no reason why it won't work. The governor didn't agree at first. The governor said that the young master and the young lady were born in our family. This is the greatest fate, so I won't bother outsiders to get married again, and let the monk go. The wife was not willing to get married elsewhere, saying that the young master and the young lady had just been born, and the wandering monks outside were all dirty. They had not taken a bath for who knows how long, and they were spreading bad luck. Under the rotten tongue, the master's father-in-law insisted on seeing him, saying that what if he was an eminent monk, and the rosary that the eminent monk had blessed could keep him safe. He would rather be deceived than miss it. He wanted to light a fire outside and let the eminent monk After passing through the fire, the bad luck will be removed, and then brought into the backyard to chant sutras for the young master and the young lady. Xiao Erhei, please go and invite the master. Don’t forget to ask the master to go over the wormwood fire several times to get rid of all the bad luck. clean."

Mrs. Wang said with a look of taking all the credit.

"His aunt is great. Don't worry. I'll light a fire and let everyone go through it one by one. There won't be any bad luck in keeping it."

The guard Erhei patted his chest and said.

After about an hour of burning incense, the fat monk, with a corner of his robe burned by the fire, appeared in the backyard of the government office.

After entering the backyard, the fat monk was introduced to the living room.

"Master, please wait a moment. Please have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. After the coldness in your body goes away, I will invite you in."

Qin'er brought a cup of tea into the living room and asked the fat monk to have some tea.

"Thank you, female donor. I understand that the little nobleman has just been born and cannot be cold, but there is no need for tea. I have said that this time I am here to establish a relationship with you. I will not drink tea, eat food, or take a penny."

The fat monk said with a smile, and he understood Qin'er's words very well.

The master is worthy of being a master, with a big heart.

Qin'er was also impressed by the Buddha's meaning and generosity of the fat monk at this moment, and suddenly felt that he had the style of a great monk.

"Master, please wait a moment, I will tell the master and the lady." Qin'er bowed and went to the inner room to pass on the message.

"Amitabha, thank you for your help, female donor." The fat monk clasped his hands together again and chanted a Buddhist name to express his gratitude.

"Master, Miss, the master outside is here. I asked him to wait in the living room to get rid of the cold."

Qin'er entered the main room and reported.

"Okay, the master is here. Big brother and second brother, come with me to meet him and take a look at his quality. If he is just for show, then kick him out; if he is genuine, then let him come over to chant sutras." After hearing this, the rich man Li stood up and walked out with his two sons. He wanted to meet this eminent monk first and interview him.
