The king of the golden wheel, the lord of the country, feasted and drank with the ministers, and the silk and bamboo orchestra was endless. There are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas on the banquet, there are four-gill sea bass, bear's paws in the North Sea, Cang'er in Zhongshan, snow lotus in Daxue Mountain, etc., these are rare things in the world, and they are just ordinary in the treasury of the King of the Golden Wheel.

And now the Golden Wheel King's favorite is the girl's fresh and tender breast meat, which is raised with spiritual materials in advance, drinking Qionglu detoxification, practicing yoga and lightening the body, and having sufficient aura, after ninety-nine processes, it is so delicious.

The King of the Golden Wheel often felt that even if he went to Elysium, such as the Mahasattva, he would not be able to enjoy it today.

The so-called Mahasattva is the great bodhisattva, almost like a Buddha.

When the King of the Golden Wheel was satisfied with the delicacies, a strong wind rose from the palace gate of the outside world, followed by a puff of black smoke, which directly collided with him, making his hands and feet unstable, and he began to fall ill.

Someone in the palace said that it was Yu Duolou's curse, and it finally reached the lord of the country.

It is said that when a courtier made a pilgrimage, he accidentally saw the scarlet spots on his arm and was dragged out to death with a cane.

The lord of the kingdom fell ill by chance, but it still did not change the rule of the kingdom of Jinshan, and the people had to pray for the lord of the country, asking the Buddha to send down great power to heal the lord's injuries.

Since the lord of the kingdom was infected, it has snowed heavily for ten days, and the whole kingdom is like a city made of ice cubes, and many people have no warm clothes and no food, so they can only huddle in the corner.

If you get sick, you won't be able to live.

Originally, this snow would have killed a lot of people, but fortunately, two strange people came in the capital three days ago.

A man and a woman, both of whom looked less than twenty years old.

The woman is as beautiful as the princess, and most commoners are not qualified to see the princess, but only the woman of the lord of the country can look so good, but there are restless people who try to tease her, and when they see her eyes, they are too frightened to move.

They said that the woman's eyes were sharper than the fastest sword in the kingdom of Jinshan.

The man is so handsome that no man in the country can compare, his skin is whiter than the snow mountain, and the beauty is better than the snow lotus on the snow mountain, and his eyes are also very special, according to the old man, his eyes are deeper than the last university scholar in the country of Jin Lone, flowing with the light of wisdom, that university scholar is also from other places, he has said a lot of reasonable things, so that the poor and the rich and some officials are very convinced, and finally was nailed to the wooden donkey by the lord of the country, and died of pain for three days and three nights.

Since then, there have been no more wise scholars in the Golden Silence Kingdom, and the common people of the Golden Silence Kingdom have learned that the authority of the ruler of the kingdom is inviolable.

But even if there were ten times more civilians than officials in the palace, after that there was no one to fill the vacancy of the officials who had been executed by the lord of the kingdom for embracing the scholar's ideas.

Seeing the bones of the mutilated people outside the palace walls because they had no heirs and everything, the commoners accepted the fact that they were being put into a pen like pigs and sheep.

"It's a world of despair. This was the last words of the scholar before he died, and it has been recognized by all commoners and even the wealthy until now.

Because the rich do not have as much status as the officials, they are more regarded as fat lambs.

The scholar-like man, who claimed to be a Taoist priest from the East, bought a house with gold and boiled a pot of water outside the house every day, so that anyone who could come to him and drink a bowl of hot water would not only ward off the sickness, but also not be hungry for a long time, and be full of energy.

Many poor people were able to survive on the water boiled by Taoist priests.

This can make people's water, the production is very simple, the Taoist priest will take out a talisman, burn it, and the ashes fall in the boiling hot water, he called this talisman water, it can cure all kinds of diseases, and hunger can also cure this disease.

Each person has a bowl of runic water, and he must not receive it a second time, and the wisdom of a Taoist priest can remember all the stars in the sky, so whoever comes to receive it a second time will be discovered by him. His strength was definitely able to pull nine cows, so those people flew away with a slight mention from him.

Boil only one pot of water a day, never more, never less.

After the almsgiving was finished, the Taoist priest would sit cross-legged on the roof and tell the story, and there were many stories, and the entertainment of the common people was very scarce, so even the simple stories could arouse their interest, and even later, many rich people and officials came to listen to his stories.

The Taoist priest is naturally Shen Lian, and he also tells the story in the Buddhist scriptures, which is full of fun and makes people forget the warmth and coldness, if it weren't for his long hair and claiming to be a Taoist, others would think that he was the reincarnation of a monk.

At night, the cold wind and snow drove away the others, leaving only Shen Lian and Fang Yanying.

Fang Yanying asked: "Uncle Shi, we have been in this city for three days, and we found that the people here live very miserably, whether it is officials, rich people, or civilians, their eyes are full of despair, all of this is caused by the lord of the country, he is even more hateful than demons, he is really full of evil, why can such a person still have profound Buddhism in his body?"

Shen Lian said lightly: "Why can't you say that he can't have profound Buddhism." ”

"My disciple has also seen many monks in the Western Wilderness, who practice Buddhism, are compassionate people, and rarely kill. Fang Yanying said honestly, Buddhism in the Western Wilderness is very powerful, and even she has been exposed to some Buddhist principles.

"Is the compassion you see really compassion, the monks enjoy the offerings of the believers and are at peace that they don't have to do anything, those high monks are under the banner of subduing demons and eliminating demons, encroaching on the blessed land of spiritual wit, so that the majestic temples are blooming everywhere, whether the land in the Western Wilderness is fertile or barren, you can see luxurious temples, and under the temple, how many flesh and bones are buried?" Shen Lian chuckled.

Fang Yanying was stunned, she never thought that there were so many hidden secrets, but she still said: "But those eminent monks live very simply, even sharpen themselves with asceticism, and try their best to help the common people, they have profound Buddhism and compassion. ”

Shen Lian said, "Do you think the civilians of the Western Wilderness are doing well?"

Fang Yanying couldn't think about it, she was born in a big family in the Yuelun country, and was later accepted as a disciple by Chen Jianmei, she had a tough vajra heart since she was a child, so she could never go back in the way of the sword, but when she was a child, she always received some cognition of Buddhism, and it was not until here that she saw the suffering of the people of Jin Lin Country that it emerged.

It also made her question the truth that having compassion can lead to profound Buddhism.

Because the King of the Golden Wheel is not in this case, there is a Dharma that is better than those monks, which is comparable to the golden-bodied Arhat.

The people of the Golden Silence Country are suffering, but the civilians of the Western Wilderness are not much better, and they are all the objects of oppression.

Shen Lian then groaned, and then said leisurely: "Since the Dharma is profound, it naturally has the ability to change the situation of the lowest class people, but they have not suffered at all the hardships that should be endured, and the vast majority of the people have only learned to endure the benefits of the Buddha's principles from the high monks. ”
