**The temple begged for a child, but the old monk said: If you want to have a child, you must kill your husband
At that dusk, the twilight was shrouded, and the white lotus walked out of the ancient temple with a sad face, but was blocked by an old monk holding an oil lamp at the door. The old monk was burly, skinny, and lonely, with an amiable smile, but his words were as mean as a knife, which pierced deep into her heart.
Female benefactor, if you want to have a child, get rid of Erf!The old monk's words are chiseled, like a cold knife to warm his heart.
White Lotus clearly heard the old monk's words: "The husband and wife are deeply in love, the blood is heartfelt, and for the sake of children, they need to break off the blood relationship." If it weren't for the fate of the husband, it would be difficult to become a family. ”
The story takes place in Luzhou in the Tang Dynasty, a wealthy businessman outside the Tang Dynasty, who has a lot of family wealth, does not show favoritism, and is willing to give. He paved the way and built bridges for the villagers and helped the poor. The White Lotus is his wife, and he has no heirs for seven years, and he is worried about the outside of the staff, and says to the White Lotus: "If there is no heir after two years, he will be accepted into his room." ”
The white lotus is infertile, and her husband is kind, although she mentions the meaning of a concubine, Tang Yuanwai took the initiative to say: "In two years, he will be admitted to his room." White Lotus was annoyed in her heart, no woman was willing to share her lovers, although Tang Yuan's foreign words took the initiative, White Lotus was distressed. She prayed for a son and frequently went to the temple to burn incense.
One day, the white lotus went to the temple to burn incense and worship Guanyin sincerely. At dusk, the old monk appeared, and his words were amazing.
The old monk had a pleasant face, but his words were sharp: "The female benefactor, pregnant, less than half a month, and the signs are weak. But this son is hard to keep. ”
The White Lotus was shocked and asked, "What do you mean?"”
The old monk sighed deeply: "I have been pregnant many times, and the child has not yet come out, and they are all chased away by the evil spirit of the outside." This son is the son of the outside of the staff, but within seven days, the staff will not die, and the fetus is not guaranteed. ”
White Lotus doubted: "The husband is a person who does good, and he has a bad spirit?"”
The old monk was silent, and only said: "Within seven days, the life and death of the child are uncertain." ”
The old monk's words fell, he left silently, and the white lotus also put down the ** and left the ancient temple. She boarded the carriage home, and along the way she was filled with thoughts, and was deeply attracted by the words of the old monk.
White Lotus's partner is Tang Yuanbing, who was once a poor scholar. After repeated defeats in scientific expeditions, he chose to say goodbye to his books and embarked on the road of doing business in other places. A year later, Tang Yuanbingrong, who unexpectedly earned a huge fortune, returned to his hometown. He and White Lotus were childhood sweethearts, and after they became rich, they still fell in love with her and welcomed her into a wealthy family. After marriage, Tang Yuanbing was considerate of the white lotus and never had the desire to spend flowers. White Lotus understands that if she can't have children, Tang Yuanbing will not consider taking a concubine.
White Lotus wondered in her heart, Tang Yuanbing did good deeds frequently, why did he have evil spirits on his body?
Back home, White Lotus told Tang Yuanbing the old monk's warning. Tang Yuanbing's face changed when he heard this, and White Lotus sensitively sensed that he had something to hide. Under constant questioning, Tang Yuanbing pondered for a moment, and finally confessed to an evil thing he had done.
Before he made his career, Tang Yuanbing was defrauded of all his property, penniless, and precarious. Coincidentally, he found a wealthy family handling a funeral, and buried many valuables for the deceased. In order to survive, Tang Yuanbing came up with the idea of robbing tombs.
The family set up a tomb keeper to prevent robbery, but after Tang Yuanbing learned about the grave, he chose to kill the tomb keeper while he was asleep on a dark and windy night, ransack the tomb, and exchange the property for silver money before returning to his hometown.
In order to make up for his original sins, Tang Yuanbing often does good deeds. But he forgot that he took a human life, which is irreparable.
Tang Yuanbing confessed to the White Lotus, so that the White Lotus understood the evil spirit on his body, and also understood the old monk's warning, the old monk hoped that Tang Yuanbing would be responsible for his past mistakes. White Lotus did not want to lose her husband and upcoming children, so she decided to take Tang Yuanbing to the temple to find the old monk for help. However, they found that there were no old monks in the temple.
The White Lotus recalled the scene of the old monk holding an oil lamp, and Tang Yuanbing suddenly realized. The old monk was not a mortal at all, but the resentful spirit of the grave keeper whom he had killed. The grave keeper hopes to take revenge through the White Lotus.
Tang Yuanbing understood the reason for being childless for many years. The ghost of the grave keeper interfered with White Lotus's pregnancy several times, preventing her child from being born safely. The grave keeper told White Lotus that the child in her womb was Tang Yuanbing's last chance and a warning to him. If Tang Yuanbing does not die, the child will not survive.
In order to no longer affect the White Lotus, Tang Yuanbing chose to kill himself. A month later, White Lotus confirmed her pregnancy. She understood that Tang Yuanbing gave up her life in order to keep the child, so she raised the child carefully, and at the same time, in order to make up for Tang Yuanbing, she gave most of the family's property to the poor people.
