Chapter 5 Pupil Language

Chang'an Fangdong is talented and famous. However, she is frivolous and does not follow etiquette. Every spring outing in the suburbs, there are many young women who often follow them, looking left and right, and behave extremely presumptuously.

On the eve of Tomb-sweeping Day, Fang Dong went out for an outing. He met a small car on the road, with beautiful vermilion curtains, and several maids were escorted on horseback. One of them was a maid, riding a pony. Her face was beautiful and his life was rare. Looking closer, I saw a woman sitting inside, fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in red makeup, and gorgeous.

At the sight of Fang Dong, he was dazzled and reluctant to part with him. He also tended to follow the carriage, either left or right, or before or behind, and couldn't bear to leave.

The girl saw his behavior. Swinging, angry, he ordered the maid to "put down the curtain!" Where did the prodigal son come from? He peeped frequently.

The maid put down the curtain, glared at the square building, and stared, "There is the daughter-in-law of Qilang in Furong City sitting in the sedan chair. She goes back to her mother's house to visit her relatives. She is not a rural village woman. Who can you be so presumptuous?" After saying that, he bent down and picked up a handful of sand and hit it all on Fang Dong.

The smoke and dust were pervasive, and a lot of them got into his eyes. Fang Dong hurriedly wiped it with his hand, and his tears flowed. He stared at it. The carriage had already disappeared, and he was surprised and suspicious.

When he returned home, Fang Dong's eyes were dry and very uncomfortable. He asked someone to open his eyes and check them carefully. He saw a layer of film on his eyes. After a night, his condition became more and more serious. There were more and more films, which were as thick as copper plates. The right eye is particularly bad. The film grows crazily and looks like a spiral. I went to see a doctor for medicine and took a lot of prescriptions, but it didn't work at all.

In a few days, the disease spread, Fang Dong was blind, and he was very depressed. He thought about what he had done and was quite penitentful. At this time, someone said to him, "The Light Sutra can solve all diseases. You might as well have a try."

Fang Dong nodded and quickly took a volume of scriptures. He ordered the book boy to read it day and night and listen with an open mind. At the beginning, it had little effect. After a long time, I listened to the Buddhist scriptures more, the realm improved, and slowly my heart was unimpeded. A year later, Fang Dong understood Buddhism and became a modest gentleman. Although his eyes still couldn't see things, he didn't care at all.

At noon on this day, Fang Dong sat quietly and suddenly heard a whisper in his left eye like a fly. A villain said, "It's as dark as ink. It's so uncomfortable." There was also a small person in his right eye, who responded, "It's better to go out for a walk and breathe."

Before he finished his words, Fang Dong only felt itching in his nostrils. Not long after, it seemed that something crawled out, fluttered its wings and flew away. After a long time, the two little people returned, still crawling from their nostrils and resting in the eyes of the scholar.

The little man on the left said, "I haven't been to the pavilion for a long time. I didn't expect that a few pots of pearl orchids had withered."

Fang Dong has always loved orchids. In the past, when his eyes were not blind, he planted many flowers and plants in the pavilion garden. He was shocked and hurriedly called his wife to ask, "Why are all the orchids in the back garden withered?"

The wife's face was full of doubts, "You can't see it. How do you know that the orchids are all withered?"

Fang Dong said impatiently, "Don't ask questions. Go to the garden and have a look. How many orchids are left?"

According to his wife, he went to the back garden to inspect it and came back to report, "I'm sorry, all the orchids are dead, and I won't leave any."

Fang Dong sighed, "The person in his eyes really didn't lie to me."

The wife asked, "What's the person in your eyes?" Fang Dong told the truth that his wife was very strange, so he moved a chair, sat motionless in front of his father-in-law, waited quietly, and wanted to see what the villain looked like.

It's not good enough. Sure enough, there are two little people flying out of their nostrils, as big as soybeans, spreading their wings and soaring, flying farther and farther, and gradually can't see clearly.

Suddenly, the two little people folded back hand in hand at the same time and stopped on the skin of Fangdong's face, like bee ants throwing into the cave and crawling into their nostrils.

After two or three days like this, the little man in the left eye said, "Every time I go out, the passage is curved, and it is very inconvenient to go back and forth. Why don't you open another door by yourself?"

The little man on the right said, "It's a good idea, but the wall is too thick to be easy to get through."

The little man on the left said, "It doesn't matter. Try it. If it succeeds, we will all live together in the future. How fast it is!"

Fang Dong was confused in his mind. Before he understood what was going on, he felt hissing in his left eye, and there was an object scratching and scratching inside, and then there was a click, as if something had been torn.

After a while, Fang Dong opened his eyes and looked at it. The tables and chairs were clear. He saw it really well, and his eyesight had recovered unconsciously.

Fang Dong was overjoyed and ran to tell his wife. His wife was also very happy. She opened her husband's eyes and saw that the film on his left eye was cracked, and there were two pupils in the black crystal. The right eye spirals as before, but it hasn't changed.

Fang Dong suddenly realized and understood in his heart that the two little people opened the diaphragm of their eyes, settled in the right orbit, and lived together. So the vision in the left eye is restored, but the right eye is permanently blind.

Although Fang Dong has one eye missing, his one-eyed vision is not inferior to that of others, but he can see more clearly. Since then, everyone has praised his self-cultivation and behavior.
