True love unlimited
After Miss Dawa and
Agudengba listened to the story told by Amon, the owner of the Little
Bodhisattva Hotel, Amon was busy receiving a new guest again. The guest was the
hunter Chu Sanxing. Chu Sanxing sent Amon some hares and pheasants.
Amon introduced Chu
Sanxing to Agudengba and girl Dawa: "Chu Sanxing's ancestors lived in
Sichuan. Later, due to the war, they moved here. It has been many years."
Chu Sanxing hurried
home because he was eager to go home to take care of his parents-in-law.
Amon then told
Agudumba and Dawa girl the story about this young man.
Amon said:
After I opened this little Bodhisattva Hotel, there were many guests, and the hunter Chu Sanxing at that time was also a regular visitor. Since the local people believe in the magical power of the little Bodhisattva, more and more people
Many people
believed what the disciples said and often came to the monk for advice.
However, for every idea the monk came up with, the poor people had to give him
various gifts. So the liar became richer and richer day by day.
Once, a poor farmer
Xiang Xiaren came to see the monk. He bent down to the monk and began to plead
with tears in his eyes:
"Wise monk,
please help me! My daughter Xiang Qima has grown into a beauty, but I don't
know what to do. No one is willing to marry her, because no one will marry a
poor girl! Please help me, a poor old man, to arrange her final destination.
Please tell me, what should I do?"
The monk pretended
to be thinking, and then said with dignity:
"Go back, my
believer. Everything will be arranged by Buddha. I will pray for your daughter
and go to your house in person tomorrow. You must be prepared to welcome
me."
The next morning,
farmer Xiang Xiaren just woke up and looked outside the door. The monk had
already approached the door of his house. Xiang Xiaren and his wife immediately
started running around to make arrangements. They both wanted to receive the
distinguished monks and distinguished guests well. Needless to say, the monk
personally visited their home. For a poor man, this was an unheard of honor!
Xiang Xiaren's wife
quickly dusted off a small carpet and spread it in a cool place next to the
house. His younger sons picked the best fruits from the orchard and gave them
to the monk. The beauty Xiang Qima made cold and sweet juice with her own hands
to quench the thirst of the guests. While the monk was sitting on the carpet in
the shade, eating and drinking, Xiangqima, like a bird, shuttled back and forth
between the house and the orchard, serving the monk with all his might and
attentiveness.
After the monk had
eaten and drank enough, he liked Xiang Qima very much because she could cook
food and serve people, so he planned to make her a slave in his family.
"Let her serve
me!" The monk said firmly to Xiang Xiaren, "What other destination
can there be for a girl from a poor family?"
However, as soon as
the monk mentioned this matter, Xiang Xiaren immediately stretched out his
hands and shook his hand and said:
"No, no!
Although my daughter Xiang Qima is poor, it is impossible for her to be a
slave! I don't want to, and she won't agree to it. No, no!"
The monk was
holding back his anger. He was thinking, "I'm going to trick this poor guy
into taking the bait anyway."
At this time, he
pretended to pray, and then said to the farmer:
"Listen, my
believer! I had a prophetic dream. In the dream, I saw clearly the fate of your
daughter. You must nail a big and strong box, put your daughter in the box, and
then put Put the box into the river. The waves of the holy river will naturally
bring your daughter to happiness. Whoever discovers your Xiang Qima, that
person is the master of her destiny and her master."
The ignorant but
honest Xiang Xia Ren believed it and said some words of thanks: "Thank
you, wise monk! Before tomorrow evening, I will definitely complete everything
according to your instructions."
Xiang Xiaren then
gave the monk some gifts to repay him for his advice, and finally sent him back
respectfully.
After the monk
returned to the temple, he clapped his hands and called his disciples together:
"My
children," said the monk, "I had a prophetic dream. Tomorrow evening.
A big wooden box will float along the river, and there will be an evil spirit in
it. You must fish out this box and bring it to me. . I will lock myself and the
evil spirit in the house. I will use spells, prayers and whippings to turn the
evil spirit into an obedient maidservant, so that she can serve me and stop
harming others. You must stand around the house. , beat the gongs and drums,
and recite the scriptures loudly. No matter how the evil spirits shout or
struggle, ignore it. You only need to recite the scriptures and beat the holy
gongs and beat the holy drums.”
At the same time,
the old farmer Xiang Xiaren, who was short-sighted, never thought there was any
bad idea here. He followed the monk's words and got everything done. He and his
wife said goodbye to Chima, put her in a large and secure box, closed the lid,
locked the lock, and pushed the box into the river. The box floated down the
river, swinging on the waves...
Just when the sun
was going down, the monk said to his disciples: "It's time! My children,
you run to the bridge behind the woods. No one walks there at night, and no one
will come to prevent you from salvaging the box. . But you must be careful not
to open the lid! Otherwise, when the evil spirits rush out, they will kill you
all."
The disciples bowed
to the monk and started on the road. They walked through the city and onto a
forest path. Here, the disciples quickened their pace, fearing to let go of the
box!
Suddenly, they saw
a young hunter coming out of the woods, with several hounds, heading towards
them.
Amon said to
Agudenba and girl Dawa:
This hunter is Chu
Sanxing, the young man you just met. The hounds around Chu Sanxing were big and
powerful, like little tigers.
"Hey!"
shouted the monk's disciples, "Hold your dogs, you robber, or they will
tear us apart!"
Hunter Chu Sanxing
laughed and said:
"Where are you
going in such a hurry? It's getting late, and you are still running up and down
the forest path like a pack of jackals. Come sit with me by the fire for a
while and tell me something new. Listen to me and pray that I will have luck
hunting..."
"Hey, don't
delay our business!" The monk's disciples shouted: "A box floated
down on the other side of the river, and there was an evil ghost in the box. We
must find this box next to the old bridge. Then send it to the master who has
magic. Call your dog away quickly! You sinful person, don’t delay our
business!"
"Okay,
jackals, run away! My dog won't touch you." Chu Sanxing said with a laugh.
But he was thinking in his heart: "What kind of ghost has the old liar
made up again in the box? I must go and see!"
The monk's
disciples had just turned a corner and disappeared. Chu Sanxing also ran
towards the river, but instead of walking on the main road, he took a shortcut
through the woods.
Chu Sanxing ran to
the river bank and looked, and sure enough, there was a big box floating down
the river. He listened carefully: someone in the box was moaning and sobbing
softly.
Hunter Chu Sanxing
jumped into the water, grabbed the box, and dragged it ashore. Here he lit a
fire, for it was already dark. He set about knocking the lock off by the light
of the burning trees. The groans in the box quieted.
Chu Sanxing finally
opened the lid, and then took a step back in surprise: There was a beautiful
girl lying in the box, with a face like a crescent moon, shining with light.
Chu Sanxing pulled
the girl out of the box, asked her to sit close to the fire, and began to ask:
"Who are you?
Where do you come from? How did you get into this box?"
"My name is
Xiang Qima." The girl replied, "My father is an honest farmer. He put
me in a box and threw the box into the river. This was all done according to
the advice of Monk Shengming. Others. I knew nothing. Besides, I only heard the
monk say: "Whoever discovers me is the master of my destiny and my
master." "
The young hunter
Chu Sanxing was very happy. of course! Such beauty cannot be found anywhere in
the world. At this time, he thought of the monk and couldn't help but get
angry: "This old liar has come up with such a trick! Well, just wait!...
He said that there is an evil ghost in the box, and there will be an evil ghost
for him. his!"
Chu Sanxing called
his most terrifying and ferocious hunting dog to his side, put it in the box,
locked it, and pushed the box into the river again. He himself sat next to
Xiang Qima and talked to her affectionately:
"Don't be
afraid of me, beautiful girl! The monk wanted to trick you into becoming his
slave. But it was not him who discovered you, but me. But I will not be your
master, but a loyal and good friend of yours. .”
Xiang Qima answered
his words with a smile.
Amon continued to
say to Agudumba and girl Dawa:
At this time, the
monk's disciples ran to the bridge and waited. Finally they saw a box floating
down the river. Such terrible howlings and roars came from the box that they
were frightened to death. It does look like there is an evil spirit trapped in
the box.
The monk's
disciples began to pray with trembling voices, beat small drums, then threw
ropes around the box and dragged it to the bridge. The "evil ghost"
roared and struggled desperately in the box. The disciples quickly picked up
the box and sent it to the great monk, so that the great monk could subdue such
a terrifying monster!
They took the box
to the monk's Zen room and placed it on the carpet. After listening carefully,
they found that the "evil ghost" had calmed down in the box, neither
screaming nor moving. The disciples planned to tell the great monk what had
just happened, but the great monk did not want to listen.
"Get
out," he shouted, "get out! Now I will deal with this evil spirit
myself. Pass me the whip! You go, but remember, no matter how it screams, no
matter what it pretends to be, Ignore it all. Just chant sutras and beat the
cymbals and drums louder. This is what needs to be done."
The disciples
bowed, walked out of the house, locked all the doors and windows from the
outside, just as the great monk ordered, and then read the scriptures.
The great monk
waited until all his disciples left and he was the only one left. He
immediately ran to the box with a whip. I thought to myself: "Now I will
use this whip to explain to you what the fate of a farmer's daughter is! You
will stay in my house as a slave forever! I will knock out all your
stubbornness!"
However, as soon as
he opened the lid of the box, a terrible and ferocious dog jumped out of the
box and bit the monk. The monk was so frightened that he howled and ran around
the house. He rushed to the door and it was locked. He started banging on the
door, but no one opened it. He shouted for help, but no one came. The house was
crackling and rumbling, wailing and roaring, but the monk's disciples just
chanted their sutras and beat the gongs and drums louder and louder. Because
this is what the eminent monk personally ordered.
The disciples
prayed and chanted sutras almost all night long until they fell asleep from
fatigue. When they woke up the next morning, they saw a broken window. From the
window, there was a footprint on the ground, which seemed to be the trace of a
big dog running past. The disciples looked inside from the window. In the
center of the room, There was a wooden box, and next to it lay a dead monk.
Disciples, you look
at me, I look at you, and finally conclude: "It seems that the evil ghost
is more powerful and has defeated our master. Now there is nothing we can
do." They stood for a while and thought for a while. Then they went to
other places.
Amon said: The
young hunter Chu Sanxing came to the poor farmer's house in the morning of the
same day. The beauty Xiang Qima walked side by side with him. Chu Sanxing's big
dogs barked happily. Jumping around them and licking her hands. The beauty
smiled happily at Chima. Xiang Qima's parents also smiled happily.
After finishing the
love story between Amundawa and Agudemba, they sang a touching love song
"True Love Infinite":
when the flowers wake up
You come on the vernal equinox
Rain and dew nourish the grass
Flora surrounds green leaves
devil picking flowers
Just want to destroy for fun
no pity
Money and power can hardly buy true love
Love arranges everything
free me from confinement
There is happiness in poverty
Blessedness lies in true love
True love is forever infinite
No distinction between rich and poor, high or low
As long as love is true
