Chapter 374 Cloth Merchant
A cloth merchant passed by Qingzhou and occasionally entered an abandoned temple. Seeing the temple ruined, he couldn't help but feel sad. The monk in the temple said, "If the donor is willing to pay for the repair of the mountain gate, Everbright Buddhism will definitely be blessed by the gods." The cloth merchant said, "It won't cost much money to build a mountain gate."
The monk was overjoyed and led him into the hall and entertained him attentively. After dinner, the monk took an inch and prayed for the cloth merchant to renovate the whole temple. The cloth merchant shook his head and did not allow it. The monks were furious, aggressive and fierce. The cloth merchant was afraid and did not dare to resist. He had no choice but to pour out all his family's money, gave them all to the monks, and then left.
The monk stopped with a knife and said, "Although the benefactor handed over the money, he was obviously not willing. How did you know that you would not report to the official? Just don't do it. It's better to do it first. The ring knife in his hand slammed with the intention of murder. The cloth merchant pleaded bitterly, but the monks did not listen. Bu Shang knew that he could not escape death. He did not want to die under the knife of the villain. He asked for suicide, and the monk agreed. He was forced into the dark room and urged the cloth merchant to hang himself.
At this time, a coastal defense general passed outside the temple and saw a girl in red in the corner of the wall from afar. She was erratic and quickly got into the temple. The general was suspicious. He got off his horse and landed. He followed all the way into the temple and searched for the woman's traces, but found nothing. Gradually outside the dark room, I saw the doors and windows closed, and I was more suspicious. I immediately shouted, "I'm General Haifang. Open the door quickly."
The monk refused and lied, "There are demons in the house. Please leave quickly." The general was furious. He cut the doorl fast with a knife and broke the door and entered. He saw the cloth merchant hanging on the beam of the house. He was dying and quickly saved him. After a while, the cloth merchant opened his eyes and woke up. The general asked the reason, and the cloth merchant said one by one, asking him if he had seen the woman in red. The cloth merchant shook his head and said, "This is a temple. There has never been a woman in and out."
The general suddenly realized that the woman must be transformed by the gods. She uses her own hands to punish evil and promote good, to save cloth merchants is to do good, and to kill monks is to punish evil. Thinking of this, he cut off the monk's head with a knife and returned the property to the cloth merchant. The cloth merchant survived and did not forget the virtue of the gods to help him. After returning, he raised funds to build the temple. Since then, the temple has been full of incense and endless tourists.
