In the last year of the Tang Dynasty, a man fled everywhere after the failure of the uprising, and on this day, an old woman on the road told him: "You killed eight million people who should be killed, but you killed half a person by mistake, it is time to stop!" The man suddenly woke up, so he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the ground.
The man's name was Huang Chao, and on June 15 of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, after the defeat of the Wolf Tiger Valley (present-day southwest of Laiwu, Shandong), he had to flee in all directions.
This evening, Huang Chao came to Fuyang Heshan, at this time he was hungry, but he saw that several restaurants along the road were closed, and he couldn't help but have some doubts, thinking: Is someone calculating me and deliberately making me hungry?
When Huang Chao was suspicious, suddenly a burst of fragrance came to his nose, he followed the fragrance to find a food stall on the street corner, and an old woman was selling tangyuan.
Huang Chao found the old woman very strange, she put the pot stove behind her, the noodle stall was placed in front of her, the front kneaded the tangyuan, rubbed it and threw it behind her, just falling into the pot behind, one after another, accurate.
Huang Chao was stunned and couldn't help but step forward and praise: "Old man, you are so old, you actually have a good craft, it is really remarkable!" ”
The old woman laughed: "My means are not worth mentioning, to say great, that is to count today's big hero Huang Chao, he killed eight million people, actually only killed half by mistake, you say who can be more powerful than him?" ”
Huang Chao was shocked and thought to himself: Have I killed so many people? What does it mean to kill half by mistake?
After a deep sigh, he asked, "What did the old woman say about this?" It is said that Huang Chao's hands are stained with blood and he is a murderous demon king, why do you say that he is a great hero? ”
The old woman laughed and said, "Huang Chao killed eight million people, in fact, there is a cause and effect." He was originally the reincarnation of the Mulian monk, who had broken the gate of hell with a tin staff in order to rescue his mother from hell, but this move inadvertently released eight million ghosts from hell, and their reincarnation was a disaster in the world. ”
"When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he killed the Mulian monk in a fit of rage, and then asked him to reincarnate in the human world, become a hero of the chaotic world, make up for his deeds, and kill eight million people, that is, capture the eight million ghosts who escaped."
Huang Chao was even more puzzled after listening to it, how did this old woman know so much about her past life and this life, was I really as she said? So he asked, "Old lady, how can Huang Chao's wrong killing of half a person explain?" ”
"Quite simply, Huang Chao killed a pregnant woman, the mother should kill, but the child in the belly is innocent, so it is said that half of the wrong person was killed." The old woman explained.
As it turned out, Huang Chao finally understood, at this time the old woman said to herself: "Huang Chao has killed enough eight million people, and should go back!" ”
Huang Chao was stunned to hear this, and his mind couldn't help but wonder what this meant, but when he came back to God, he disappeared from the old woman's trace, leaving only a pot of boiling hot tangyuan.
At this time, Huang Chao was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he went to eat tangyuan regardless of whether he was three or seven or twenty-one, but he couldn't find the bowl and chopsticks, so he had to pull out his sword to catch tangyuan.
Knowing that the sword entered the water, Tang Yuan was suddenly all gone, and the sword could not be pulled out, Huang Chao suddenly realized, sighed, and said to himself: "Everything has cause and effect, it seems that I can't escape this fate!" ”
So he took off his armor and found a place to live in seclusion, and later he learned that the old woman who sold tangyuan was transformed by Guanyin, and specially came to enlighten him, so that he could put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!
