In fact, the man carrying the fish basket was none other than Mr. Liu back then. Mr. Liu said to the couple: "I can save you, but there is a condition. When this child grows up, she will be my wife!" At this time, life and death are at stake. What conditions can we refuse to agree to? Seeing that the two agreed, Mr. Liu gave the necklace to the child and said, "This is a token of love!" Then he turned back to the two boatmen and said, "Do you want to wait for me to do it or jump in by yourselves?" Huh?" As soon as the words fell, the two people jumped into the water with a "plop". Mr. Liu pushed the boat ashore!

... ... It turns out that these two gangsters are actually shrimp soldiers and crab generals sent by Dongting Longjun.

Back to the present, the couple saw each other holding the same necklace. This necklace had been appraised by someone before and was worth more than 12 million. Now they did not keep their daughter and married someone else, so they were extremely embarrassed! Mr. Liu asked: "Where is my wife?" The couple pointed at the patient and whispered: "Over there!"

Mr. Liu turned around and said to the patient, the last person to be possessed - the evil ghost: "Now deal with your problem!" The other party sneered, "They are afraid of you, but I am not! Let's see what you can do to me!" The sixth master smiled and said, "Make a condition, how do you want to solve it." The evil ghost said viciously: "I just want to take revenge on them and make them bankrupt!" The sixth master still smiled and said, "I don't want the merits of seven generations of practice. Really?" The woman immediately showed a sad expression and said leisurely: "You are not a Buddhist, so what can you do!"

Liu Ye said: "I'm not a Buddhist, but that doesn't mean I can't solve your problem! Tell me your grievances and see if I can help you solve it!" The ghost pondered for a moment and said: "I have practiced cultivation for seven generations. , I didn’t expect that after the eighth life’s tonsure, I would die in the Buddhist temple, reincarnate as a cat, and be run over by him again, with my intestines and stomach flowing all over the floor. It’s really hard to calm down my resentment!” Liu Ye said: “Well, because Your practice is very deep, and it involves Buddhism. It’s hard to know what to do, so I’ll ask you, how about it?” The patient, that is, the ghost, nodded in agreement.

So Mr. Liu crossed his legs, closed his eyes and went into silence. In the blink of an eye, the air conditioner in the room seemed to have suddenly turned on. I had spiritual eyes and could see that the room was filled with black fog. Several people in the room were trembling and had goosebumps on their bodies. After a while, Master Liu opened his eyes and said, "It's cold and cold down there. I'm not completely clear yet. I need to go up there." He said that Master Liu was also sitting cross-legged, but in the air, with a halo behind him. Seven-color divine light. The face was peaceful, and there seemed to be a strange fragrance in the room. My spiritual eyes saw wisps of auspicious light in the room, which made people feel relaxed and happy. It was no longer cold, but it was not hot either, and the temperature made people feel unprecedentedly comfortable. After a while, Master Liu came down and said, "I understand! "

Liu Ye turned to the patient and said: "I want to ask you something. It's not when you were a cat in this life, but when you were a layman in your previous life. The day before your tonsure, you lived in the temple, and the next day You're tonsured, right?" The other party replied: "Yes!" Mr. Liu said: "I'm just asking you about what happened when you were worshiping Buddha the day before! At that time, there was a man wearing a chain on his back (an old man hanging on his shoulders). A man with a coarse cloth bag came to worship the Buddha and offered incense. He put the chain beside him at that time. After offering the incense, he forgot to put the chain on and left. Later, a man in tattered clothes came in to worship the Buddha. After worshiping, He raised his head and saw the chain, and shouted: "Blessing to Buddha really works!" He put the chain on his back and left. Then a black-faced man came behind him. As soon as he knelt down, the first person who put the chain on his back came back. The chain was missing. I grabbed the black-faced man and begged him to hand over the chain. Did you come forward to testify and tell the man that the chain was carried away by the man in ragged clothes?" The patient nodded: "Yes. Yes, monks don’t lie, what is right is yes, and what is wrong is wrong!”

Liu Ye also nodded: "Well, monks don't lie. Yes, if this happened outside the temple, you would be right to do it, but this is above the main hall, what you did is wrong!" The patient's face He showed an expression of dissatisfaction: "Why is it wrong in the main hall? Shouldn't we be the same on the outside and be honest?" Liu Ye paused and said: "In that main hall, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas above, Vajras and Arhats below. Do you think you, a Buddhist layman, are so talkative? Do you know how much trouble your words have caused?!" Mr. Liu lit up a cigarette and told the story of the incident.

There was a silk cloth shop owner who opened several silk cloth shops in nearby towns. His neighbor is a tofu maker. The tofu maker has a daughter who has been loved by the owner of the silk shop since she was a child. Every time someone selling snacks or toys comes to the street, the owner will buy something for the child. As time went by, the child became greedy and lazy. This girl grew up day by day and became a big girl. During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the owner of the silk shop invited the girl to eat moon cakes. This was already commonplace.

In the past, during festivals and holidays, the owner of this silk shop always left behind a lot of snacks and fruits, and always invited the girl to enjoy them. But this time, the owner of the silk shop had tampered with the mooncake and seduced the girl. After the seduction, the girl became pregnant. Seeing that her belly was getting bigger day by day, the owner of the tofu shop urgently found a husband for the girl. She came there with her belly, plus she was greedy and lazy, so she wouldn't have to fight every day! In this way, there were beatings once every three days, and one big beating every five days. Every time there was a big beating, a large group of people came to my mother's house to settle accounts with the other party, which made the whole house furious. This time on February 2, there was another fight. When the girl ran away, she did not go in the direction of her home, but in the opposite direction.

And this guy wearing a chain to worship Buddha is a hairdresser for tooth sacrifice. What is tooth sacrifice? Yaji is today's buying and selling agent. Yaji needs to have a deep understanding of the trading market and be proficient in the art of bargaining and lowering prices. Of course he does not have this ability, so he pulls fibers for Yaji. What does fiber drawing do? It is to provide and introduce buying and selling customers to Yajie, and earn some pocket money for each customer provided. But this man has no ability to provide legitimate buying and selling clients. He specializes in recruiting and selling people. If someone's life is difficult and they are about to die, he goes to deceive them, help them find tooth sacrifices, encourage them to sell their children and daughters, and do such immoral things. But having said that, this man is unreliable outside, but he is a filial son, and he respects his mother, who is a devout Buddhist.

It is said that the tofu seller's daughter ran away from home, and she saw her, and immediately took her to her relatives' house to hide her. Besides, the owner of the silk shop is unscrupulous when it comes to his neighbor's daughter, but he has a different way of doing business. Generally, merchants close their accounts at the end of the year, but he does so on the first day of February every year. This is so that the shopkeepers and shop assistants who want to use money can get it from the counter first, and everyone can use the remaining money. He rides on the second day of February every year. Go and collect. On the way back, the stretcher was waiting for him to tell him the truth. Without saying a word, the owner of the silk shop hung the bill chain on his shoulder, put the girl on his horse, and drove her to him. Went to my own courtyard. This stretcher went to the brothel with a chain on his back. He didn't dare to take the money home, because the old lady would be dumbfounded when she asked him. There was a girl in the brothel who was doing business but not selling herself. He wanted to take the money. Let that girl open her bud! Halfway through the temple, he remembered that his mother had asked him to fulfill her mother's wish, so he came to worship Buddha first.

Let’s talk about the money picker. He comes from a mountain village. This year, there was a hailstorm in the mountains and there was no harvest. It is now February, the lean season, and the whole village has no food rations. This person has a relative who is a county lieutenant in the county and wants to come to the county. The lieutenant borrowed some money, and the whole village took out the flour bags, turned them over and shook off the noodles, and made a bowl of pimple soup for the man, hoping that he would go to the mountains to borrow money, not wanting his relatives to be transferred elsewhere to visit relatives. Not only was it a small thing, but the whole village had no food rations, it was a big deal. He had no choice but to go to worship the Buddha.

God’s original intention was for the slugger to throw away his ill-gotten gains and be picked up by the people in the mountains to help the victims! If this happens outside the temple, it will be witnessed by all the gods and will not change the number of days. However, it is different in the temple. The various gods cannot see what is going on in the temple. I thought the Buddha had another intention. With your intervention, the guy who pulled the strings recovered the money, causing the prostitute and the people in the mountain village to starve to death without food rations. The person who came out to borrow money thought that the Buddha had already given the money to him. He was going the wrong way and was chased back. He had no face to go back to meet his fellow villagers, so he drowned himself on the way.

As a result, many starving ghosts were added. These hungry ghosts did not deserve to die, so there were no ghosts to lure them. They caused trouble along the way, stealing tributes, grabbing paper money, insulting women, bullying the old and young, and causing trouble on the Huangquan Road. It’s such a mess! Passing by Sanshengshi, I saw the whole story clearly. When I get to the underworld, I will sue you! The King of Hell sent Black and White Wuchang to seduce you. Who would have thought that you would be tonsured the next day and would not come out of the temple. Black and White Wuchang could not enter the temple, so he had to come back for business. There was no other way. The King of Hell told Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva about the matter. The Bodhisattva Tibetan King said: "I will help you to get her if you don't care about others!" This is the reason why you died in the Buddha Hall.

It should be said that the judge sentenced you to be reincarnated as a cat, which is already a huge honor. Now the cat no longer has the responsibility of taking care of the mouse. It is just a pet. What else do you have to complain about

"But why do you want me to be run over by him?" The ghost was not convinced yet.

When I heard this, I already realized that the evil ghost's practice was not enough. Even I had already explained the reason why she was run over to death, but she still couldn't understand it herself.
