Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2243 Suffering
"Old man, old man, please let me go. I am willing to convert to Buddhism! Or if I follow you, I can convert to Taoism." The big black man shouted, and he went to the doctor for illness. He cradled the Buddha and shouted: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Save me, Master Wuai, save me!"

Only then did Zhike Monk know the truth. He hid behind the ghost Taoist Master and shouted, "So this thing is really a ghost? It's so scary. Brother Abbot never told us!"

"You...brother abbot, you have an agreement with me. He said he would protect me. He's a bald donkey. He doesn't keep his word. Why don't you come out to save me?" The black man had no way to ask for help and cursed Master Wu'an.

He didn't know that Master Wu'an had run away, and thought the old monk was hiding aside.

The monk Zhike grew more courageous, walked out from behind the ghost Taoist Master, and said, "Stop yelling nonsense, our master abbot has gone out to wander around, and he won't be able to come back for three to five days."

"Lie to me, you lie to me, this old monk must be hiding aside and watching my joke!" The big black man roared and struggled, shouting: "Tell the old monk to come out to see me, I want him to explain to me clearly!"

Ghost Taoist Master sneered and continued to exert pressure.

"Amitabha..." Suddenly, the sound of the Buddha's trumpet came from downstairs, but it was the voice of Master Wuai.

The big black man was overjoyed and shouted: "Haha, Master Wu'an is here, I'm saved!"

Zhike Monk was also stunned and turned to look at the stairs.

"Are you saved?" Ghost Daoist smiled, and suddenly waved his hand, 28 abacus beads fell together, distributed in the shape of 28 constellations, and fixed the ghost on the floor.

"Ah..." The black man let out a scream, and the ghost sprawled on the ground with all four limbs, trembling, but unable to struggle.

"Amitabha, good, good, good..." The sound of footsteps came, and Master Wu'ai had already walked up to the second floor, walking towards the altar of Guanyin.

The ghost Taoist priest smiled slightly but said nothing.

"Brother Abbot, it turns out you haven't left yet?" Zhike Monk hurriedly came up to greet him, then pointed at the ghost on the ground and said, "Brother Abbot, this old benefactor has caught an evil ghost..."

"I know everything, including the fact that you drank alcohol and ate meat!" Master Wu'an glared at Zhike Monk.

"Senior Brother..." Zhike Monk's face turned pale, and he immediately softened and fell to the ground, sweat streaming down his face.

He didn't know why the senior abbot knew that he drank wine and ate meat secretly.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Ghost liked to make up for his wounds, so he smiled at Zhike Monk and said, "Hey, I didn't tell you, Brother Abbot, how many glasses of wine you had and how many pieces of meat you ate."

"Uncle Lin, I was killed by you..." Zhike Monk was about to cry but had no tears.

"Master Wu'an, save me quickly, save me quickly!" The ghost of the big black man was lying on the ground. Although he could not get up, he could speak and kept asking for help from Master Wu'an.

"Amitabha..." Master Wu'an clasped his hands and saluted the Taoist Ghost first, saying, "The donor is indeed very capable. He captured demons in one fell swoop, and his Taoism reaches the heavens."

The ghost Taoist priest smiled and said: "To be honest, if I weren't afraid of breaking the statue in the temple, it would be easier for me to capture this thing. Old monk, why are you back again? Do you really want to give it to this evil ghost?" plead?"

Master Wu'an suddenly turned back, even Taoist Ghost didn't expect it.

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Master Wu'an looked at the ghost on the ground and said, "The karma must be repaid. Since you have created evil causes, there must be evil consequences. This demon made an oath in front of the Buddha, and now he has fallen. In the hands of the benefactor, it can be regarded as fulfilling the oath."

When the black man heard these words, he knew something was wrong and shouted: "Old monk, what do you mean? You said you would protect me, and it would be better for anyone to hurt me. Don't you want to go back on your word? Aren't you afraid of breaking your oath? Being punished by Buddha and sent to hell?"

Master Wu'an clasped his hands together and said firmly: "If I don't go to hell, who will? The old monk has figured it out. Even if you break your oath, you can't continue to harm others."

"But you, the majestic abbot of Wulian Temple, go back on your words and talk like farts. Who will dare to believe you in the future? How can those good men and women talk about you?" The big black man shouted.

Master Wu'an was stunned, silent for a moment.

The ghost Taoist priest smiled and said: "Master, don't be fooled a second time by this evil ghost's sweet words. Tell me what happened back then?"

The big black man was also very arrogant and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, old monk, if you have the courage, just tell what happened back then and let everyone see if you are right!"

"Yes, Brother Abbot, what is going on?" Zhike Monk also came over and asked.

When this guy heard the gossip, he forgot about his troubles. He didn't know what punishment he would receive in the future for stealing wine and meat.

Master Wu'an sighed, looked at Taoist Ghost, and said: "I'm so ashamed. This matter is all my fault. In one thought, I have been in hell for more than ten years. Over the past ten years, every time One day is a torment for me.”

"No, Senior Brother Abbot, I think you have lived a good life these past ten years. Everyone listens to you..." Zhike Monk said in a low voice.

In his eyes, senior abbot's life was too moist. How could it be torture?

"Go over there and face the wall, don't say too much." Master Wu'an glared.

Zhike Monk immediately shut up and sat facing the wall, not daring to speak any more.But Zhike Monk only looked like he was facing the wall. In fact, his ears were still erect, eavesdropping.

In the quiet Guanyin Hall, Master Wu'an said:

"Fifteen years ago, by chance, I discovered that there was a ghost hidden inside the statue of Guanyin. I didn't know it before, but I worshiped this ghost for several years. When I found out later, I was also angry and thought Destroy him... But this evil ghost suddenly appeared and told me that in the suburbs not far from the temple, there was a man who was about to starve to death and asked me to rescue him. I went over to see if that was the case.

After rescuing that person, I felt that the evil spirit still had a clear conscience, so I had a heart-to-heart talk with him and wanted to save him.

He said that he was originally a boxer in the late Qing Dynasty, but he killed too many people and did not dare to reincarnate, for fear that the underworld would cause trouble for him.I felt compassion in my heart, so I asked him to stay and receive the incense baptism from Wulian Temple to wash away the murderous aura and injustice from his body before he was reincarnated.

But the old ghost was worried and asked me to swear.I didn't care, so I swore an oath in front of the statue of Guanyin, saying that I would protect the safety of the old ghost in my temple as long as I live.Moreover, I also told all the pilgrims that even if they are evil ghosts, as long as they have good intentions, I can accept them.

Who would have known that after I swore the old ghost, he would break his promise and often go out to harm others.And every time he harmed someone and came back, he would repent in front of me and tell me how to do it again..."
