Chapter 33 (25)
The old nie said, "Amitabha, monks do not lie. When did Pomni curse people to die? But in the eyes of the Buddhist family, people live in their hearts and souls. If her heart has already passed away, she will not be considered to be a real skeleton." Li Yijie said sadly: "Yes... I know that I have hurt her deeply. Now I just want to find her and try my best to compensate her."
The old nun said, "Everyone has his own fate, and he is taking a different path. Just the donor's words, how can he do the way? What is the misunderstanding of you and her before? I don't want to find out. This donor came to my temple a few months ago, and without saying a word, he asked me to slaughter her and convert to my Buddha from then on, without any desire or demand.
I am an older person and have seen too many right and wrong in my life. From her eyes, I can see at a glance that her relationship with the world has not ended. Perhaps it was just a temporary struggle for the spirit to become a monk. Poin Ni tried hard to persuade her, and she was young and couldn't think about anything? Why do you have to take this step? But she claimed that she had seen through the world of three feet and felt no desire to fall in love with her, and she would rather escape into a monk and seek peace. Poin Ni refused, so she knelt straight outside the temple until she lost her strength and fainted.
This Shuiyue Temple is located in a wilderness. If no one takes care of her for a few days, she will die. People are virtuous, and Pomni cannot see a female donor die in front of her. She has no choice but to temporarily carry her into the temple to rescue her. But the more she is determined at this time, the more she is, the more she is not firm and is eager to cut off her own way of retreat so as not to regret it in the future. Pomni does not want her to regret it for the rest of her life, so she is only allowed to lead her to practice, and has not given her a Dharma name.
In the first period, she only gave her some chores. However, the donor of Nangong was also diligent, quiet every day and did not talk to others. As we ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, we cleaned the temple spotlessly when we were free. After finishing our own work every day, we silently returned to the room and stopped coming out. In the past, a few young female disciples were curious and went to peek, and saw her sitting at the table, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand, and rummaging through it carefully. No matter when we went, it was like this.
The donor of Nangong had an amazing understanding. After watching for several months, he met with a pilgrimage to talk about Zen with a pilgrimage. Even I felt ashamed of myself, who had been practicing for decades. The young and old in the nunner loved her very much. Pomnie originally planned to formally accept her as a disciple, but he expected... a few days ago, the donor of Nangong went down the mountain to collect water, but he had not come back for a long time. I was about to send a disciple to visit, and a young man who was about years older than you came to the nunner... Yes, his whole body was filled with evil spirits, which made people feel as if they had gone to hell and were uncomfortable everywhere.
He called himself the supreme world and the Seven Evil Saint King. He spoke so hard that he ordered us to hand over the donor of Nangong in his first sentence. We have heard of this person's reputation. It is said that he is a top figure in the underworld today, committing countless bloody crimes. Bai Dao and the court have tried their best to arrest him. Shuiyue Temple is located in a remote place and should be far away from worldly affairs. Unexpectedly, I would not offend people and people would come to the door. The man looked fierce and evil, but he didn't expect that he was so young, probably in his early twenties, and he was completely unceremonious to his seniors.
We don't know how Nangong donor got into such an opponent, but because of the difference between good and evil, we could not surrender to him. The junior sisters refused to answer him and were immediately attacked. He made a very quick move. In a flash, before we could see clearly, the junior sisters had already had their heads and their deaths were terrible.
He asked several times again, and killed several people, as if he was impatient to wait, and burned the temple with a fire. Before leaving, he said that this was just the first lesson, and it was all because I refused to obey my orders, which caused such disasters. It was not him who destroyed Shuiyue Temple, but ourselves. He also reminded us that if we continue to hide Nangong Xue, such disasters will continue in the future. If we handed over her, everything would be easy to say. "Recognize the pros and cons of yourself, don't think about hitting the stone with eggs."
Judging from his spirit when he spoke, if the donor of Nangong fell into his hands, it would be a death. How can we sell our conscience and morality for self-interest, and take the lives of others as easy as possible to get the health of our own family? Therefore, we cannot hand over her as a result of the devil's destruction, but we cannot defeat that devil. Although it is not worth mercy to die alone, it is just a stinky skin. But even if we all die, how can we guarantee that the donor of Nangong can escape his vicious hands? Therefore, after we have decided, we can only make a decision.
After a few hours, the donor of Nangong finally came back. Amitabha, not touching the devil halfway, was lucky, and it must be her blessing for her daily virtue. At that time, she was in a good mood, but when she saw the broken walls of Shuiyue Temple, her expression was similar to what happened to me just now. The nun was reluctant to add to her troubles and did not say much. The first sentence told her: "I took you in at the beginning just because you were homeless, and it was very pitiful. But now that you have brought such a great disaster to the temple, I, Shuiyue Temple, can't keep you anymore."
The donor of Nangong did not plead with me. Perhaps she knew that this matter could not be compensated, or she was unwilling to implicate me. Therefore, she only guaranteed that she would find a way to rebuild the temple and she would give us an explanation. After that, she did not look back and quickly went down the mountain. It was coming and going in a hurry, but she was still as quiet as ever."
After hearing this story, Li Yijie almost spurted blood in his eyes and said, "So... Xue'er left like this, you actually let her go? What is the reason to find, but she just said that she is the broom star of your Shuiyue Temple? Do you know that Xue'er has always been sentimental and has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else! If something like this, she can blame herself until death without you snorting, but you will take the blame instead, and she is scarred.
Another knife was added to her heart? Let her wander around the world alone, how many dangers will be on the way? Have you ever thought about it? She is a lonely girl who has no support, but where can she go? How can you bear it? How can you bear it! Is your heart a stubborn person? As a monk, he has never really considered someone who asks for help. Not only do he stand by and only care about the little profits of the temple, what a vulgar worldly thing!”
