There is a longevity mountain in Fengping County, which is majestic and steep, with many peaks and peaks. The mountains are lush with vegetation, birds and animals jumping and swimming.
There is a Fengxiu Village at the foot of Changshou Mountain, and there is a young man named Tao Kuan in Fengxiu Village. Tao Kuan is a child that his parents picked up from the river, and they don't have children themselves, so they care for Tao Kuan very much, and everything follows him.
When Tao Kuan was in his teens, he knew from the villagers that he was a child who was picked up, so he began to give up on himself, stealing chickens and dogs today, and going to the house tomorrow to uncover the tiles, and his father and mother to death.
Since then, Tao Kuan has been more unrestrained, and he has been disliked by everyone in the village.
That afternoon, he went to Widow Xia's house to steal chickens, but he didn't know that Widow Xia got a big black dog from **, and the big black dog chased Tao Kuan and bit it.
Tao Kuan's face turned pale with fright, he pushed away the front paws of the black dog with his hand, and ran desperately to the outside of the village, and the black dog chased all the way, refusing to stop saying anything.
Tao Kuan was so angry that he couldn't wait for a pair of wings to grow on his body and fly off the ground. He ran to the bottom of the Longevity Mountain in one go, unable to run anymore, and turned around panting, ready to compete with the black dog.
Tao Kuan looked around, the black dog was gone, and he didn't know when it stopped chasing.
Tao Kuan was so tired that his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he was sweating again, he found a tall and smooth boulder, climbed on it and lay on it, basking in the sun, and slowly closed his eyes.
Night fell, the cool breeze gusted in the longevity mountain, and Tao Kuan was woken up by the wind. He was hungry and wondered where he would go tonight to get something to eat.
At this moment, he heard the sound of rustling in the woods, mixed with many footsteps. Tao Kuan wondered in his heart, could it be that there are robbers in this mountain, are they going out to rob or do they want to share the spoils?
Tao Kuan quietly climbed to the top of the boulder and looked down from the boulder.
My mother, alas, I saw that under the moonlight, a group of animals gathered in the forest, spotted tigers, big bad wolves, red foxes, old roe deer, white deer, eagles, magpies, rabbits, hedgehogs and other animals.
Tao Kuan was secretly surprised in his heart, are these animals gathering together to hold an animal conference?
I saw the spotted tiger at the head say to the animals, "Brothers and friends, I have called you here today to tell you that our benefactor Ji Weng is sick. ”
Ji Weng is sick?How could Ji Weng get sick?The animals had sad expressions on their faces when they heard the news of Ji Weng's illness.
The big bad wolf asked the tiger: "Brother Tiger, Ji Weng has always been physically tough, why did he suddenly get sick?"”
Spotted Tiger said: "Brother Wolf, I also only know about this, I heard that Ji Weng went to work in the field a few days ago, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the road was slippery on a rainy day, Ji Weng broke his leg, he can't get out of bed now, lying at home, and he has a ** disease of asthma, which is very painful." ”
The rabbit said, "Let's go and see Ji Weng, I have a ** asthma herb, I want to give it to Ji Weng." ”
The big white deer said, "I have antlers, and I can treat Ji Weng's wounds." ”
The red fox said: "Brother Bailu, you still have to keep your antlers, I went out to travel last month, in order to save a child injured his leg, I happened to meet a medical officer in the sky, he gave me a pill, this pill to eat to treat fractures, effective immediately, I am reluctant to eat, have been kept, now Ji Weng's leg is broken, I am willing to give this pill to Ji Weng." ”
The hedgehog said to the red fox: "Red fox, you are so benevolent, I admire you so much." ”
The red fox said: "More than 20 years ago, I was injured and caught, they wanted to skin and cramp me, it was Ji Weng who took out all his savings to buy me, my life was given by Ji Weng, a pill is nothing at all." ”
The old deer also said: "I have been practicing for hundreds of years now, and it is also because I have received Ji Weng's help, I am going to visit him and tell him that I have studied well now, and I will not hurt people's lives for a long time." ”
The big bad wolf said, "However, Ji Weng did not let us into the village, for he was afraid that we would frighten the villagers." ”
Spotted Tiger said: "We can change our appearance to visit Ji Weng, so that we don't frighten people." ”
Everyone nodded and applauded.
As the animals swirled around on the ground, they became different men, women, and children.
The spotted tiger transforms into a middle-aged man dressed in black. He pointed to the two **blue teenage children beside him and said, "You two hedgehogs, don't go, you haven't cultivated well, you haven't gotten better, just wait in the mountains." ”
The two blue ** children were not happy to hear this, and one of them said: "We must go to see Ji Weng, I will beat him on the back, and my brother can also tell Ji Weng jokes." ”
The man in blue who turned into the big bad wolf said, "Go, let's go together." ”
At this time, the old man who turned into a big hedgehog said, "I always smell the smell of people here." ”
The eagle said, "I have seen it a long time ago, and there is a young man lying on the rock. ”
Tao Kuan was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this.
The spotted tiger said, "We are all cultivators, don't hurt him, let's go." ”
The crowd then walked towards Fengxiu Village.
Tao Kuan listened to them and knew that they would not hurt him, so he relieved himself, slipped off the stone, and followed the group towards the village.
Tao Kuan saw those people walk to the gate of Ji Weng's house and float in.
Tao Kuan hurriedly climbed up the wall and looked inside.
The room was brightly lit and full of people. After a while, someone moved out of the table, someone moved out of the chair, and everyone took Ji On's hand and walked out of the house.
Ji Weng's leg turned out to be healed, and he sat on a chair in the courtyard, and some of the people in the courtyard were sitting, standing, and squatting, and they all had bright smiles on their faces, and hearty laughter.
Tao Kuan couldn't help but be envious.
At this time, the spotted tiger whispered a few words to Ji Weng, and Ji Weng said, "Then let him come down." ”
At this time, I saw a person in the courtyard spit out a gust of wind towards Tao Kuan on the wall, the wind swirled around Tao Kuan, Tao Kuan was dizzy by the wind, and his body suddenly floated up and flew down to Ji Weng's yard.
Ji Weng saw that the person coming down from the wall was Tao Kuan, and said to Tao Kuan with a smile: "Tao Kuan, it is also a fate for you to meet these cultivating animals tonight, do you know, how much suffering these animals have suffered in order to cultivate their ** body, how many desires and habits have they destroyed, and how many years and months have they spent before they can incarnate ** body." They accumulate merit in order to be free from the suffering of samsara in the future, and to be able to ascend to immortality in the future. You are a man now, and you are in a mess all day long, causing trouble to the villagers and making everyone complain about you. You have been cursed and abused by so many villagers, can you have a good end?Aren't you afraid of becoming an animal in the next life?”
Tao Kuan listened to the thunder, he knelt in front of Ji Weng in sweat and asked Ji Weng to help him mend his ways.
Ji Weng said that in the future, he will be a good man and be self-sufficient. Don't steal chickens and dogs, and don't go to cheating.
Tao Kuan nodded again and again.
At this time, the day was about to dawn, and the group of people said goodbye to Ji Weng, they were reluctant, and they also told Tao Kuan that the human body was rare, and they had to be a good person.
From then on, Tao Kuan moved to live with Ji Weng, and under Ji Weng's training, he cultivated wasteland to grow grain and vegetables, cut firewood and sell firewood, laundry and cooking, and was proficient in everything.
Tao Kuan learned from Ji Weng's behavior, often helping others, whether it was a human or an animal, he had a compassionate heart.
Later, Ji Weng died of illness, Tao Kuan left Fengxiu Village, and heard that he went to learn the Tao.
