"Please ask Xuanji to protect my husband, please ask Xuanji to protect my husband..."
In the wild forest, a lonely temple is located at the foot of the mountain. A gust of wind blows, the wind chimes hanging on the wishing tree outside the temple collide, making a clear and pleasant sound.
Xuanji Niangniang Temple is written on the plaque of the temple.
Under the cold moonlight, it looks like silver.
Facing the moonlight, there is a figure kneeling in the temple, whose back looks bleak and lonely. There was a sad voice in her mouth, which sounded a little creepy.
She was a woman of about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She was dressed in plain clothes, but her appearance was beautiful. The face is full of tears, pear blossom with rain, it is pity.
"Lady Xuanji is merciful. My husband has been cut out of his heart in order to save people. Please help him."
With the sound of the wind chime, the cry spread.
Hoo Hoo!
Suddenly, a cold wind came into the temple, which made people shiver. The woman's body trembled slightly, and the color of fear flashed in her eyes.
Because she saw the shadow on the ground
Behind her stood a man with two horns. No It's supposed to be a monster.
"What a pretty little beauty."
Cold laughter rang out in the woman's ears.
The woman was greatly frightened. She ran to Xuanji's Shrine and grasped the edge of her dress tightly with her hands. Her delicate body trembled and she uttered a sad cry for mercy.
In front of her was an extremely ugly looking monster, with strange horns on her head, scales on her forehead, and YH color in her cold eyes, "little lady, are you waiting for me here?"
The woman's cheek was pale and her face was pale. "You, don't come here. Xuanji is here. She and she will kill you."
"Lady Xuanji?"
The monster looked up at the statue of Xuanji's mother, and her face showed a sarcastic color, "what is this woman?"
"Little lady, follow me and be my wife."
"Don't come here, don't come here..."
The woman reached out and grabbed the melons and fruits worshipped in the shrine and smashed them at the monster.
The genie put out his tongue and licked his lips. "What a fierce little lady, but I like it."
The monster looks up at the sky and laughs. With a wave of his hand, the magic power rolls up the woman's figure and disappears from Xuanji's Niangniang Temple.
……
"Amitabha! I've come all the way, and it's late today. Can you stay here for one night? "
In front of the lonely farmhouse, Fahai put his hands together and looked at the old woman in the courtyard with a smile.
The old lady didn't seem to hear Fahai's words. Her eyes were full of worry and looked in a direction.
"Benefactor..."
Fahai shouts twice.
The old woman looked at him straight and said, "what's the matter, little master?"
"I'm hungry and tired when I pass here. Can I stay overnight?"
Fahai said sincerely.
"Little master, please come in."
Without hesitation, the old woman invited Fahai into the house. Buddhism is flourishing in Zhongzhou, and ordinary people are very friendly to their disciples.
The old woman opened the door of the yard and led Fahai into the house. She poured a cup of tea for Fahai, and then went to fetch two warm steamed buns
"Little master, the family is poor and only has steamed bread. Don't mind."
"Thank you, benefactor. It's wonderful to have a cup of hot tea and two steamed buns in the wilderness."
Fahai ate a steamed bun, then looked at the old woman and asked, "benefactor, now that the time is over, why don't you rest? Are you waiting for someone to come back?"
The old woman sighed, with sadness on her face. "My son was injured in order to save others. My daughter-in-law went to ask for the blessing of Xuanji, but she hasn't come back yet."
"When do you go out? Why haven't you come back yet? "
Fahai can't help asking.
"I went out in the afternoon and came back at sunset. I don't know why no one has come back at this time. "
The old woman burst into tears. "I'm afraid something happened to her. How can I live alone?"
Fahai frowned slightly.
He came just because he saw the evil spirit lingering over the farmhouse.
"Benefactor, can you show me your son?"
Hearing Fahai's words, the old woman was stunned. She quickly wiped away her tears and took Fahai to the inner room. In the dim candlelight, I only saw a pale young man lying on the bed. His breath was very weak and he might die at any time. He was wearing a white shirt, and his heart was soaked with blood.
The faint bloody air mixed with the evil spirit diffused in the inner room, which was very uncomfortable.
"Can I see his wound?"
Fahai turned to look at the depressed old woman.
She nodded.
Fahai carefully opened the man's clothes, a startling hole appeared in front of him.The man has no heart.
There was a look of surprise in Fahai's eyes. Can you live without your heart?
The old woman cried bitterly, "my son is a scholar and has a good heart. Three days ago, in the evening, in order to save a child, the monster dug his heart. How can a man be alive without a heart? He should be worried about his old body and Ziqing, and he never wants to leave. "
"Benefactor, Xuanji is..."
"Lady Xuanji is the patron saint of a hundred Li area. She is very effective..."
The old woman was weeping more and more.
"Amitabha!"
Fahai put his hands together and said, "a good man has his own destiny. Your son has made great contributions to save others. I am merciful and will never let him die. "
With that, Fahai waved his hand and covered the man with soft Buddha light. His pale face gradually regained some blood color, and his breath gradually became powerful.
The old woman was stunned on the spot, then knelt on the ground and begged, "please help my son, please help him."
"He has no heart. If he wants to live, he needs a heart."
Hearing Fahai's words, the old woman said eagerly, "holy monk, can I give my heart to him?"
Fahai shook his head and refused, "this can save him, but what should he do when he wakes up? Do you want him to live in endless guilt? "
The old woman kept kowtowing, "holy monk, please help him, as long as you can save him, I am willing to do anything."
Fahai gently shook his head and reached out to help her up. "I've laid a Buddha's shadow on your son. With Buddha's shadow, he can live if he finds a heart in seven days."
"The way of heaven is clear, and the cycle of cause and effect. He was dug out of his heart by a monster in order to save people, so he was saved by a monster's heart."
As soon as she was soft, she sat on the ground sliding against the wall, her eyes blank. "The monster is so fierce, how can she give her heart to save my son?"
"Don't worry, benefactor. If I eat a steamed bread, I will give you a heart."
Fahai said calmly, "in seven days, I will catch the monster who has dug out your son's heart and save your son."
"Thank you, monk..."
Fahai stepped out of the inner room, and the old woman followed him in a hurry.
Fahai looked at the steamed bread on the table and asked, "benefactor, can you give this steamed bread to me, too?"
"Monk, take it. If it's not enough, I'll take two more for you."
Fahai put the steamed bread into the embroidered robe and nodded with a smile, "this one is enough."
