Let’s say that the young monk sweeping the floor received the decree and hurried out of the mountain gate.
He searched until midnight and finally found the old leprosy cat.
He carried it to the side of Bi Lei Pond and sighed: "Jiao Nai 1 Jiao Nai: Helpless.
You are so helpless."
The karmic animal didn't know what was going on.
He somehow offended the old Zen master, but he wanted to If it falls on the little monk, I have to end your life tonight.
I will chant sutras and save you to go to the Western Paradise."
Then he hardened his heart, threw the old cat into the pool and drowned it, fished out the dead cat's body, and buried it in the pond.
In the dense forest at the back of the mountain, he returned to the temple and returned to Elder Tanzhen.
As the saying goes, "Don't ask about prosperous matters when you first start, you will know by looking at the colors."
Elder Tan Zhen saw the young monk's expression and knew that he had taken care of the matter.
Seeing that it was getting bright at this time, he asked the young monk how he killed the cat and whether it was dark at that time.
The little monk sweeping the floor broke the killing ban, and was mostly in a trance.
He vaguely remembered that when he drowned the old cat, it seemed that the east had just moved, and the city gate had not yet opened.
In front of Elder Tanzhen, he did not dare to do anything.
Conceal it, tell it everything.
After hearing this, Elder Tan Zhen thought to himself, "It seems that this is God's will and cannot be forced by manpower."
Previously, it was difficult to tell the truth to the little sweeping monk because the Zen intention could not be expressed clearly.
It turns out that Buddhism talks about a cycle of cause and effect.
Although the old cat covered in leprosy fell into the animal realm, it was born with the path to conduct.
Every time when monks burn incense and chant sutras in Bilei Temple, the old cat will definitely hear the sound and come to listen to the sutras under the eaves in front of the hall.
Elder Tanzhen looked at it with his wise eyes and knew that this cat was a Taoist and could not become a Buddha.
However, all living beings in the Buddha's Taoism are dependents.
It had been listening to sutras for many years and would have some good results sooner or later.
It just had to be reincarnated in the human world to have some talents.
Get the road.
On the night before, a woman was in labor in Lingzhou City.
The fetus was born and grew, and the mother was dying.
She was about to die, one dead and two dead.
The midwife and nurse were helpless and very anxious.
Outsiders don't know what's going on, but Elder Tan Zhen knows clearly that if this cat doesn't die, that woman won't give birth.
Then he ordered the little monk to make a trip with the old cat, but unexpectedly, the timing was delayed by some mistake, and now he could only look at the old cat's own fate.
Sure enough that morning, Yuan Tan's mother-in-law gave birth to a baby boy, named "Baizheng".
The Tan family was a well-known scholarly family in Lingzhou City.
By Mr.
Tan's generation, the number of people was already depleted, and he was the only one in the thousands of hectares of land.
Unexpectedly, this young master has been suffering from sores all over his body since he was born, and even after seeking help from famous doctors, he could not be cured.
Fortunately, this man was born smart, had a photographic memory of what he read, and had intended to obtain fame when he was young.
However, although he had acquired knowledge, he was not blessed with good fortune.
No matter how brilliant his mind was and his pen was full of tricks, he never got the chance to pass the exam, and every time he failed in his career. , Fortunately, the family fortune is generous, so there is no need to worry about livelihood.
Mr.
Tan had a quirk.
He loved raising cats all his life.
He never left his hands on all kinds of cat scriptures and books.
He often spent a lot of money to hire people from Guangdong and Guangdong to come and look after cats.

He failed repeatedly in the field of fame, and his mind gradually became weak.
From then on, he devoted all his spiritual life to raising cats.
He squandered all his wealth and lived with cats all day long.
There has been a legend in Lingzhou since ancient times that old cats can understand people's speech.
Mr.
Tan would ask if he saw a cat: "Can you speak?"
When he saw a wild cat passing by on the roof, he would also chase it and ask: "The man on the tiles is staying here.
You may understand."
"Human said" But no matter whether it is a domestic cat or a wild cat, no one is willing to pay attention to Mr.
Tan.
His strange behavior was noticed by his neighbors and family, and most of them thought that Mr.
Tan was hopelessly insane.
One year, Mr.
Tan was walking in the suburbs of the city and met a rare four-eared tabby cat, sleeping soundly on a tree branch.
This cat smelled of alcohol, as if it had just stolen some wine from somewhere and was lying here drunk.
Mr.
Tan is good at looking at cats, and he can tell at a glance that this cat is absolutely extraordinary.
It seems to be a four-eared fairy cat that has been transformed.
I don't know why it is like this.
He was curious and sat under the tree to see what was going on.
It was not until the sun set that the four-eared cat sobered up.
Without even looking at Mr.
Tan under the tree, he yawned and slipped down the tree.
He waddled and went straight away.
Mr.
Tan followed the four-eared cat into the mountains.
He had been there for more than ten years, and outsiders knew that this man was already dead.
Unexpectedly, Mr.
Tan had a strange encounter in the mountains.
As for what he encountered, few people knew.
All I know is that after he came out of the mountains, he took a four-eared tabby cat with him.
He often attracted friends, gathered large groups of wild cats and swaggered through the market, selling "cat medicine" along the street, claiming to be able to cure all diseases.
Most people in the world regard him as a lunatic who is willing to take his wild medicine.
But there are also some beggars who are terminally ill but have no money to see a doctor, so they have to take his "cat medicine", which is better than waiting to die.
The road falls."
Who would have thought that the medicine would actually cure the disease?
He cured many difficult and complicated diseases, leaving no one alive.
He became famous all of a sudden and was heard from far and near.
That year, Lingzhou City experienced a severe drought that had never happened in a century.
The soil was scorched, the fields were cracked, and river ports were drying up.
Not only was there no water in the river, but many wells were also dry.
In order to get water, the people dug wells to a depth of more than ten feet, but there was no trace of moisture.
The red sun in the sky was shining brightly, poisonous fire was approaching, and countless poor people died of thirst.
The scorching heat even made the corpse plague spread. .
The original land of wealth and prosperity was almost turned into a dead city during the drought.

Officials and people all over the city gathered in front of the Dragon King Temple to pray for rain.
Although the temple supported the rain-making Dragon Kings from all over the world, none of them appeared to make rain.
At this time, Master Tan led a group of cats to the Dragon King Temple and told everyone that there were "fire silkworms" growing in the beams and pillars of the Dragon King Temple's main hall, which sucked up the moisture in the ground veins.
If the temple is not demolished, the drought will not be alleviated.
Although the soldiers and people of Lingzhou were thirsty for rain, they dared not do such a blasphemous act.
Mr.
Tan's words aroused public outrage and he was expelled from the city.
That night, a fire broke out in the Dragon King Temple in the city, and everything was burned down.
Someone saw that a few wild cats overturned the lampstand in the temple, causing a fire.
It was expected that it was also at the instigation of Mr.
Tan.
He was about to be tied to the yamen for questioning, but unexpectedly there was a thunder, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.
A sweet rain fell.
Only then did everyone realize that the drought disaster really originated from the Dragon King Temple.
They had wrongly blamed good people before, and then they regarded Mr.
Tan as a living god.
In Lingzhou City, regardless of gender, old or young, rich or poor, everyone strives to take the Tan family's "cat medicine" in order to prolong their lives and keep their families safe.
In addition to practicing medicine, people also asked him whether he was good or bad, and all the things he asked were strange.
A few years later, Mr.
Tan took the four-eared cat and left Lingzhou City to travel around, but ended up missing.
The people of Lingzhou said that he had become an immortal, so they built an immortal temple in the city to worship Lingzhou tabby cats.
Since the completion of the Cat Fairy Temple, the incense has been strong and has lasted for hundreds of years, often showing many supernatural phenomena.
The local trend of worshiping cats has risen since then, so this anecdote remains to this day.
The Maoxian monuments are true and false, strange and strange.
They are rare in the world and rarely seen in various places.
Although they sound nice, they are not necessarily true.
The legend involves the three religions of "Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism", and is also a local This is due to folk customs.
Lao Jun Tiezhong was convinced of this.
He pointed deep into the alley and said: "The old house in Huaiyuan was built on the site of the Dragon King Temple.
It has always been a haunted house.
You must be more careful when you go to spend the night, but I hope The cat-loving fairy I wish you all the best.
I'm too old and timid to see you off any further, so let's just say goodbye."
After that, he lent a lantern to Zhang Xiaowei'er and the other three.
He turned around and left.
Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi were both brave and naughty people.
They were thinking about making a fortune in the Sophora Flower Garden and refused to take Tie Zhong's words to heart.
They took Xiaofeng and Black Cat with them.
Lantern let go and went straight to the door of Huaiyuan, took out the key and opened the lock.
I saw a large garden inside, with a strict gate and continuous houses.
Although it was not a palace of gods in heaven, it was still a wealthy family in the world.
It was a quiet night in the Sophora Garden after dark, and everything was quiet and silent.
Only the bright moon hung high above the head, and the silver light shone on the ground under the feet.
The courtyards, waterside pavilions, and flowers and trees in the garden looked particularly cold and desolate in the moonlight.
When Zhang Xiaobian'er arrived at this place, he was already thinking.
The old ghost in the forest only said that if you bring a black cat into this haunted house, you can dig out mountains of gold and silver, but he didn't explain the rest of the details.

I don’t know what I have to do to get that wealth.
Whether this trip is bad or good depends entirely on Mr.
Zhang’s own luck.
Seeing that there are many pavilions and courtyards in this Sophora Garden, I don't know where to start, so I have to open the main hall door first and settle down.
But I saw that the building was closed with cobwebs and covered with dust.
It was a place that no one had visited for a long time.
The furniture and furnishings in the room had long been moved away.
The three of them found a corner and tidied up the room.
Then they shared the remaining pieces of dry food in the room, hoping to fill their stomachs before going to the garden.
Patrolling everywhere.
After running around for a long time during the day, the three of them were already very hungry.
At this time, they were devouring their food and no one cared about talking.
As they were eating half of the food, they heard a burst of children crying from the back house.
The cry was pitiful and erratic, sometimes distant and sometimes near.
The black cat was extremely alert.
It was originally crouching on the ground, but now it heard the sound, its ears twitched, and it jumped up, its eyes bloodshot.
It looked very frightened as if facing a formidable enemy.
Zhang Xiaobian'er heard it so clearly and unexpectedly that he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.
He almost choked to death on the dry food in his mouth.
He rolled his eyes and finally swallowed it down, cursing secretly that he was making trouble.
How could there be a child crying in this abandoned garden and abandoned house?
Xiaofeng was frightened by the heart-wrenching cry and asked in surprise: "Could it be that there is a little ghost in the haunted house?"
Zhang Xiaofeng picked up the black cat and said to Xiaofeng: "What are you afraid of?
Black cats can only do white dogs."
To ward off evil spirits.
Even if they are evil spirits, you should be somewhat afraid of them.
If you hear something strange about this cry, it may be that the silver buried in the garden has become a spirit."
Sun Mazi said: "The reason why there are ghosts and evil things in the world is mostly because people's hearts are not peaceful.
As the saying goes, one good thing suppresses all evils.
If you have a clear conscience, what's the point of being afraid even if it's really haunted?"
As he spoke, he picked up the stick.
Holding it in hand, he mustered up his courage and followed the cry to the backyard.
The backyard is an abandoned garden with hundreds of locust trees, most of which are now dead.
The branches of the dead trees spread out in the moonlight, like hideous ghosts.
The entire yard was knee-deep in weeds, and there was no sound of frogs croaking or earthworms chirping in the gaps between the grass nest walls.
In the dead silence, only the intermittent cries of children came from the depths of the grass and trees from time to time.
In the early years, there were many legends about burying silver objects.
It is said that wealthy families often had secret silver cellars hidden underground in their deep houses and courtyards, where many gold and silver treasures were buried to prevent future generations from being left empty handed.
But if you bury your money for too long, things will change as time goes by, and they will take the form of a human being, which is called "silver spirit" among the people.
Zhang Xiaobian'er was obsessed with money and identified the treasure hidden in the haunted house and the treasure buried in the deserted garden.
Thinking that the crying sound must be a sign of accumulated silver, he picked up the lantern, moved freely, plucked the grass and branches, and walked towards the locust trees.
Sun Mazi was also a rough man who didn't know the heights of the world.
With some fists and kicks, he walked up side by side with a stick and Zhang Xiaowei'er, and was about to hit him.
Unexpectedly, when I pushed aside the dead branches and leaves in front of me, I saw a two-story wooden building among the ancient locust trees.
It had green tiles and red paint, exquisite pavilions, but no doors and windows, making it look dilapidated and decadent.

The sound of children crying came from this building.
The three of them stood still in front of the building.
They heard the crying sound very close and touched their hearts.
They were all frightened and suspicious.
Just when they were undecided whether to break in and see what was going on, they saw a group in the darkness of the building.
The shadow of the white flowers is slowly moving, just where the moonlight cannot reach, so you can't see clearly what it is.
Youdao is a wealthy man with charming eyes and troubled eyes.
Mr.
Zhang is the reincarnation of the God of Poverty.
He can only recognize the word "wealth" in his eyes.
How could he know that this place is so powerful?
He asked: "Whose child died in distress and is crying here endlessly?"
He held a lantern and went there.
In the previous photo, the three of them could see it clearly through the light.
If they didn't look at it, everything would stop.
When they saw it at a glance, their hearts were numb with shock, and they didn't know whether their bodies were lying horizontally or vertically.
It turned out that there was no silver spirit anywhere in the dark pavilion.
There was only a fat and white boy lying on his back.
He was only eight or nine months old.
He was naked from top to bottom, and a silver longevity lock was hung around his neck.
The boy was sobbing so loudly that his voice was hoarse from crying.
When it saw the lantern swaying, it immediately turned from sadness to joy, and even laughed strangely like a gust of wind.
It crawled towards the entrance of the building, and in an instant, it was in front of Zhang Xiaowei'er and the others.
There is a saying: "There are evil spirits hiding in Lou's Sophora Garden, and people are dying in the middle of the night."
If you want to know what dangerous encounters Zhang Xiaobian'er and others had in the Sophora Garden, we will leave it to the next chapter
