During the Qing Dynasty, there was a young monk named Yuan Ben in Huairuo Temple near Lin'an. He was handsome and smart, but unfortunately his life was poor. When he was still in his infancy, he was abandoned by his parents outside the temple. Fortunately, he was raised by an old man. The monk survived until he found out.
Under the careful care of the old monk, Yuan Ben grew up slowly, studying Buddhism every day without any distracting thoughts, until something happened that broke his originally peaceful life.
When Yuan was fifteen years old, one afternoon, he was cleaning in the courtyard. At this time, a tall girl with beautiful appearance came forward to say hello: "Little master, can Master Yuanyin be here?"
Huairuo Temple has never been open to the public, and it was only in the past year that it began to receive pilgrims. Yuan Ben has lived for more than ten years. Apart from his master and brothers, this is the first time he saw such a beautiful person. He was immediately attracted, and it took him a while to calm down and said: "Yuan Yin is my senior brother, I will take you to find him."
The two came to the Yuanyin Zen Room, and the girl walked in with a smile. Out of curiosity, Yuan Ben squatted at the door and eavesdropped on what was going on inside the house.
At first, the two of them just studied Buddhism, but after a while they made vague and indecent sounds. Listening to the girl wailing desperately, Fang originally thought that the senior brother had beaten her, so he kicked the door open, only to see that both of them were naked.
At this time, the old monk rushed into the room with a group of fellow disciples. He looked at Yuanyin and said, "Oh, monks are most afraid of violating the sexual precept. You have committed an unforgivable sin. This temple can no longer accommodate you." You, go down the mountain quickly." Yuanyin gritted his teeth, kowtowed to the old monk, and took the girl away.
Afterwards, the old monk explained to all the disciples that Yuanyin had gone down the mountain to lecture a while ago, and accidentally met the girl, which was a big mistake. In order to prevent other disciples from making mistakes again, from now on, no one is allowed to go down the mountain without his permission.
After hearing this, the disciples expressed their determination one after another, but Yuan Ben was different. He said he could not go down the mountain, but grass had already grown in his heart. Ever since what happened last time, Yuan Ben could no longer forget the girl's voice and smile.
He had fantasized countless times that he could meet a woman who looked like a girl. Unfortunately, he could not go down the mountain. This wish might not come true in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for things to turn around.
Let us say that early that morning, a senior brother hurriedly knocked on the door of Yuan Ben's room and shouted: "Junior brother, master is missing." Yuan Ben sat up and asked what happened?
Brother said that in the morning he went to ask Master to pray to Buddha, but no one answered the door no matter how hard he knocked. When he entered the house, he found that it was empty. Later, he and a group of fellow disciples searched the whole temple, but there was no trace of him.
Yuan Ben suggested: "Perhaps Yuanyin kidnapped Master out of spite. We might as well go down the mountain and look for him." The senior brother hesitated again and again, then nodded.
Afterwards, all the monks went out to look for the old monk. In order to increase efficiency, Fang Yuan went south alone. Perhaps it was because it was his first time to go down the mountain. He was just enjoying the beautiful scenery, but he forgot the time to return to the temple. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was worried that it would be dangerous to go back, so he decided to find someone to stay for the night until dawn.
There happened to be a house nearby. He strode to the door, knocked on the door and shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
After a while, the door slowly opened, and he saw a charming and beautiful woman exuding mature charm. , leaned against the door and asked: "Little master, what do you do for a living?"
Yuan Ben blushed to the ears and timidly said: "I want to stay one night, I wonder if you can make it easier?"
The beautiful woman gestured for Yuan Ben to enter the house with her fingers, pointing to a room and said: "Here, you live there Come on, if you need anything, just call me, sister, I'll be here." After that, she turned around and left with a smile. Looking at her back, Yuan Ben's mouth curved.
I couldn't sleep that night, with the image of a beautiful woman in my mind.After falling asleep, he dreamed that a beautiful woman was lying next to him, looking at him affectionately. Then, she tilted her head and kissed Yuan Ben on the cheek.
Just as he was indulging in it, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, but the next second he was scared to death. It turned out that the yellow dog he had raised since childhood jumped onto the bed at some point and licked him awake. There was no beautiful woman next to him.
Yuan Ben was surprised and said: "Dahuang, why don't you just stay in the temple, why are you here?"
Unexpectedly, the yellow dog actually uttered human words: "Why don't you run away? That beautiful woman is more than two hundred The old white-bone spirit specializes in killing people, do you want to die?" After that, he bit the sleeve of his shirt and came to the beautiful woman's room.
saw all kinds of skulls hanging in the room. She licked the slender bone claws and said with a smile: "Hey, here comes another person who is willing to die. Once the time is over, I will treat you well."
Yuan Ben was so frightened that he flew out of his mind. Under the guidance of the yellow dog, he quickly climbed over the wall and escaped, running for twenty miles in one breath before stopping. After calming down for a while, Yuan Ben asked: "Dahuang, why can you talk? Do you still know that I am in danger?"
Dahuang was silent for a moment and said coldly: "You really don't know who I am? Evil disciple, what are you doing to me? Have you forgotten anything? ”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ben was extremely surprised, and he knelt down and said, "Master, I realize my mistake."
It turned out that the old monk was not missing, but was secretly killed by Yuan Ben. Just because Yuan Ben longed for a life in the world of mortals but didn't dare to tell his master, he killed him without hesitation and went down the mountain on the pretext of looking for him.
After coming down the mountain, I didn't stay with my brothers at all. The purpose was to meet a beautiful woman. He stayed at the beautiful woman's house and went there after inquiring about her beauty. Who would have imagined that the beautiful woman is a white-bone spirit in human skin.
Huang Gou said sincerely: "Disciple, I know that your nature is not bad, but you just made mistakes when you were confused. Otherwise, the teacher's soul would not be attached to Huang Gou and come here to save you."
Yuan Ben regretted and said: "Master, I know my mistake. I will practice it with concentration in the future. I will also repent for my mistakes."
Afterwards, the old monk was reincarnated and the yellow dog returned to its original state. Yuan Ben led a group of senior brothers to eliminate the white-bone spirit . In order to make up for his mistake, he spent his whole life repenting and never stepped out of the temple again.
