Lao Wang is alone. It turns out that he also had his wife and children, but in an unexpected fire, his wife and children all died in the fire.
Since this day, Lao Wang seems to have seen through the world and realized great enlightenment. He no longer paid attention to the worldly affairs. A person suddenly became focused on eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. Perhaps he wanted to use this method to accumulate blessings for his dead family members!
In this regard, Lao Wang can be said to have become a master of self-taught. It turns out that his family also has some family background, so he often visits Mingchuan Temple everywhere. Every time he goes to a temple, he will devote himself to practicing Buddhism for a period of time. Gradually, he has become a monk who is not a monk.
Later, after going around, he returned to his hometown. After so many years, he earned a lot of money by begging for alms and helping people do rituals, a total of four or five hundred taels. After returning to his hometown, he did not return to his original home, but built a small house on the hill next to the village and lived in it. He wanted to devote himself to practicing Buddhism here.
Lao Wang's Buddhism is getting higher and higher, but his mind is getting smaller and smaller. He does not have the mind of , and he has never thought of using his own abilities to help those in need.
He just thought that he might have to live alone in his life, and it is impossible to get married and have children again. His age is getting older, so he hid the 500 taels of silver he saved over the years under his cushion.
. He is planning to keep the money for himself. When he is too old to walk, he can still find someone to take care of himself, that is, it is for him to spend his life.
For so many years, he has become used to eating simple food outside, so he has become very stingy. He only got three meals a day, but he got it from begging for alms in the mountains, and he didn't spend a penny of his money.
On this day, a homeless man suddenly passed by his door. At this time, Lao Wang was holding a bowl of rice in front of his door. The bowl was porridge, and a few pickles of pickles floated on it. This was his meal.
After seeing Lao Wang, the homeless man hurriedly stepped forward and begged Lao Wang to give him some food. Lao Wang looked at the homeless man, without saying a word, turned around and continued to eat his own meal.
Lao Wang's method made the homeless man confused. He looked at him in confusion for a while, and then he asked Lao Wang for food. Can you give me a bite of an old man? I'm sorry, please pity me! I haven't eaten in several days.
Who knew that Lao Wang drank all the porridge in the bowl after a few mouthfuls, then touched his mouth and said to the homeless man, do you want to eat? Can you buy it yourself? I only have this little meal, I don’t have enough food. I’m sorry, please leave.
In theory, Lao Wang is also a Buddhist and has practiced for many years. He should have good thoughts in his heart, and he should still have this kindness. Who knows that Lao Wang has already changed his temperament. Now he regards this money as more important than his own life. He can't bear to spend it. Will he give it to others?
He got all the porridge from begging for alms at the foot of the mountain. Will he give it to a homeless man? But sometimes Lao Wang's words hurts people. Seeing that the homeless man stood there and had no intention of leaving, he said another sentence. What else can I see in
? Is the bowl empty? There is still a little bit in the pot, but I just don’t give it to you. What can you do? It’s better to get out of me quickly, there is no room for food to be eaten from me.
The homeless man knew that Lao Wang was doing it on purpose and was playing with him. He also got angry and said, "You old man, did you do it on purpose?" If you don’t give it, you won’t give it. What do you mean by saying this? Aren't you fooling me?
Lao Wang was also angry when he heard this, so he said to the homeless man, "I just don't give you food, what's wrong?" This is my thing. I will give you whatever I want. I just don’t give you food. What can you do?
Just like that, the two of them started arguing. This homeless man, a young and strong man, picked up a brick from the side and patted Lao Wang's head.
Just this brick went down, and Lao Wang suddenly felt bloody and fell to the ground.Unexpectedly, in just one moment, Old Man Wang was shot to death.
Before his death, Lao Wang did not look back at the homeless man, but stared at the broken cushion he usually made with his eyes. Lao Wang can’t let go of his money! I haven't had time to use my life's savings! Just laughing out of your mind, this is the saddest thing! In this way, he looked at his futon and stared at him and died.
The homeless man is not stupid either. Lao Wang kept looking at this cushion before he died. There must be something wrong with this cushion. Otherwise, before Lao Wang died, he wouldn't even care about his own life. He just stared at this broken cushion, would it be fine? No ghosts believe it!
After Lao Wang died, the homeless man walked into his house and lifted the cushion. Sure enough, under the cushion, he found a small mechanism. After opening the mechanism, there was a big box below. The homeless man took out the box and opened it and was stunned. The box was full of silver.
Seeing so much money, the homeless man was so excited! For a moment, I was a little overwhelmed. He thought, So this old man is so rich? Why! He was so stingy that he didn't even give himself a bowl of porridge. This was because he was too dead. He just hesitated for a while, and after coming to his senses, he carried the money and ran away.
With this money, it can be said that this homeless man will never have to worry about food and drink in his life. After this poor man was suddenly rich, he might be almost the same and began to wander around, not knowing how to keep a low profile at all. The homeless man also entered the city. He first found a big restaurant, ordered a table of delicious food, and had a delicious meal himself.
Then buy clothes, shoes, wait. Anyway, you have to buy some high-end and expensive things. He has to repackage himself from top to bottom. After all, he will be a rich man in the future and can no longer wear rags. Isn’t that laughed at?
That night, the homeless man found the largest inn and opened the best room in the city. He wanted to enjoy the night here. He didn't even dare to think about these things before, but now it's different. He has money.
But that night, he had a dream. In the dream, he dreamed of Lao Wang, who was following him like a shadow, and kept following him, asking him for his 500 taels of silver. If he didn't give it, Lao Wang would keep pestering him until he died. The homeless man wanted to get rid of him, but no matter how he shook, he couldn't get rid of him. As long as he turned around, Lao Wang would definitely stand behind him.
When I woke up the next day, the homeless man felt a little scared. He felt that it was Lao Wang's soul, and he had entangled him, and he was following him now. However, he still comforted himself not to be afraid. Maybe Lao Wang would leave in a few days. After he left, he could spend the money with peace of mind.
That's it. After the homeless man got up, he continued to run away. He wanted to stay away from this place, hoping to get rid of Lao Wang.
This old Wang is a man who wants money and lives. Can he get rid of him so easily? This is impossible. From then on, Wandering would have the same dream every night, which made him unable to fall asleep at all, and his spirits became worse and worse. He almost became a little mentally ill. He didn't dare to spend money anymore and lived a wandering life again.
Even so, it still doesn't work, and he still can't get rid of Lao Wang's entanglement. He began to be afraid of sleeping and began to become crazy. After a long time, the homeless man was tortured so much that he had no choice but to bury the remaining 400 taels of silver. He hopes that Lao Wang can let him go, no longer follow him, or pester him.
Who knew that he took it for granted that he could not get rid of it at all. He still had that dream every night, and Lao Wang still tortured his spirit in the dream.
has no choice, and he encountered such a thing, so it is probably impossible to find a doctor. So, he wanted to find a master to help him get rid of Lao Wang, which is his only hope now.
After inquiring from many sources, the homeless man finally found a master. The master's surname is Xu, and it is said that he is the most famous Feng Shui master in the neighborhood, and he has very strong abilities.
After Master Xu learned about the situation, he pretended to calculate and told the homeless man that it was not impossible to get rid of Lao Wang's entanglement. Now there is only one way, which is to lose money and avoid disasters. First, get back his 500 taels of silver, and then use this 500 taels of silver to do a ritual, so that he can guarantee that Lao Wang's soul will not be entangled again.
Now the homeless man is helpless. He believes in whatever Master Xu says. He has already given up on the money, and it doesn’t matter whether he takes it out or not. However, he had used up a portion of the 500 taels of silver, and the rest had been buried by himself.
In the end, he could only lead the master back, find the place where he buried the silver, and then dig out the silver.
After arriving at the place, the homeless man pointed his hand and said to Master Xu, "I'll bury the money here." Well, Master Xu responded and said, "What else are you looking at?" Why don't you dig it out quickly?
After listening to Master Xu's orders, the homeless man immediately lay on the ground. He found a wooden stick and started digging for money. In a short while, the silver was dug out. When the homeless man just picked up the silver and wanted to turn around and hand it over to the master, a chill suddenly came from behind him.
He looked down and saw a sharp knife piercing his body, and the tip of the knife had already penetrated from his chest. Looking at the sharp knife piercing his body, he understood in an instant. When he looked back, he was facing him with the terrifying and evil face of Master Xu.
Master Xu looked at the dying wanderer and said, "Boy, let your eyes be brighter in the future. You dare to talk about such a huge amount of wealth everywhere. You are so heartless!" You should understand the principle that money dies and birds die for food, so you will die for good. Don’t worry, boy, after you die, I will bury you in this place and will not let you get rid of the wilderness. Go with confidence.
After saying that, Master Xu pulled out the sharp knife inserted into the homeless man's body. Homeless man, ah! With a sound of the ground, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. He stared at Master Xu, opened his mouth, and didn't say a word, and he died of regret.
Master Xu is still a very trustworthy person. After the homeless man died, he dug a hole on the spot and buried the homeless man in. He really did what he said and did not let the corpse of the homeless man get corpsed in the wilderness. After doing this, he clapped his hands, picked up the silver and left in a hurry.
Lao Wang is a person who has practiced Buddhism for most of his life. He actually violated the root of Buddhist principles and gave his life for a bite of porridge. I really don’t know what he is practicing?
The death of a homeless man can be said to be worthy of his sin. However, if Lao Wang had not had that bowl of porridge, he would probably not have had the result today. Maybe everything is fate, and no one can escape his own destiny.
lost two lives just for this little thing. Is it really worth it? Is there anything more important than life when a person lives for a lifetime?
