Seeking a child in the beautiful woman's temple, she was dragged into the cellar by the old monk
In ancient times, there was a small town named Cuiyun, and there was a beautiful woman named Liu Ruyan in the town. Liu Ruyan is twenty-eight years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, but because she lost her husband at an early age and has no children and daughters at home, she often feels lonely and lonely. Liu Ruyan wanted to continue her husband's incense, but there was no good plan, so she had to go to the Guanyin Temple outside the town to pray to the gods to give her a child.
Guanyin Temple is a famous temple in Cuiyun Town, the incense is prosperous, it is said that the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple is very effective, and there is a response. Liu Ruyan reverently knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin, clasped her hands together, and silently recited the wish to have a son in her heart. She lived in the temple for seven days in a row, chanting sutras and reciting Buddha every day, eating vegetarian food, hoping to move the Bodhisattva.
On the evening of the seventh day, Liu Ruyan was walking in the temple, when suddenly an old monk walked up to her and said to her: "Female donor, the poor monk looks at you with a sad face, and you must have asked for something but you can't." Come with me, I have a way to help you achieve your wishes. ”
Liu Ruyan saw the old monk's kind eyebrows, and revealed an unfathomable and profound aura when he spoke, and a sense of hope couldn't help but rise in his heart. She hurriedly followed the old monk to a remote hut behind the temple. The old monk pushed open the door and motioned for Liu Ruyan to go in. Liu Ruyan hesitated, but still stepped into the house.
As soon as the door closed, the old monk showed a strange smile, he grabbed Liu Ruyan's arm and dragged her into a cellar hidden under the house. The cellar was dim and damp, with a musty smell. Liu Ruyan was terrified and struggled to escape, but the old monk was so strong that she couldn't break free at all.
"You...... What are you going to do, let me go!" Liu Ruyan shouted for help, but there was silence in the temple, and no one answered.
The old monk smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, the female benefactor, I have a treasure hidden in this cellar, which is a spiritual object given by Guanyin Bodhisattva to seek children. All you have to do is stay here for one night and you'll get what you want tomorrow. ”
Liu Ruyan was skeptical, but seeing the old monk's determined expression, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. She remembered the hardships she had suffered for many years in seeking a child, and decided to believe in the old monk once.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was no longer struggling, the old monk let go of her hand and took out a talisman from his arms and stuck it on the wall. The talisman instantly burst into flames, emitting a faint golden light. The musty smell in the cellar gradually dissipated and was replaced by a fresh aroma.
Liu Ruyan felt a burst of warmth rise from the bottom of her heart, she sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and began to recite the scriptures silently. Gradually, she felt as if she was in a wonderful world, surrounded by peace and tranquility.
Just then, she suddenly heard a baby's cry. When she opened her eyes, she saw a baby carved in pink lying beside her, staring curiously at her with dark eyes. Liu Ruyan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly picked up the baby and looked at it carefully. The baby was white and chubby, very cute, and she couldn't help but feel a tenderness of maternal love in her heart.
At this moment, the door of the cellar was suddenly pushed open, and the old monk walked in. When he saw Liu Ruyan holding the baby with a happy face, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Congratulations to the female benefactor for getting what she wanted, and from then on she can be a mother and a child, and the family will be harmonious. The old monk said and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Liu Ruyan, "This is a meeting gift from the poor monk to the little son, I wish him a safe and healthy growth." ”
Liu Ruyan took the jade pendant and thanked the old monk gratefully. When she walked out of the cellar with the baby in her arms, her heart was full of longing and anticipation for the future. She knew that she was no longer a lonely widow, but a happy mother with children and daughters.
However, Liu Ruyan did not leave the Guanyin Temple immediately, she decided to stay in the temple for a few more days, thanking Guanyin Bodhisattva for her protection. And the old monk seemed to have become a noble person in her life, and often came to visit her and the baby. Although the two have very different identities, they are as close as old friends for many years.
As the days passed, Liu Ruyan and the baby's life gradually got on the right track. Every day, she would hold the baby in front of the statue of Guanyin and kowtow to thank her, and the statue of Guanyin always seemed to bring her an inexplicable comfort and strength.
However, the good times did not last long, and one night, Liu Ruyan was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw a stranger standing outside the door, panting and saying, "Mrs. Liu is not good! That old monk is actually an evil monk......! He ......"
Liu Ruyan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"
The stranger took a deep breath and said, "That old monk is actually a flower thief! He pretends to be merciful and approaches you to covet your beauty! He has already killed several women! I am the family of a victim who was deceived by him, and I will come to tell you the truth as soon as I learn the truth!"
Liu Ruyan's anger was intertwined with fear, but she quickly calmed down. She understood that the most important thing now was to protect herself and her children, and not to let that evil monk have another chance to harm them.
She quickly hid the baby in a safe corner, then picked up a stick, took a deep breath, and opened the door to face the evil monk. However, when she opened the door, she found that it was empty outside, except for the moonlight shining in the empty courtyard.
Liu Ruyan wondered in her heart, could it be that the stranger was lying, or had the evil monk already fled? She didn't dare to act rashly, so she decided to find the stranger first and ask about the situation.
After some searching, Liu Ruyan finally found the stranger in a forest outside the temple. When the stranger saw Liu Ruyan, he immediately stepped forward and explained, "Mrs. Liu, I didn't mean to scare you. I heard from the teahouse in the town that the old monk was indeed an evil monk, and he took advantage of the reputation of Guanyin Temple to pretend to be compassionate, but in fact he was engaged in the work of a flower thief. I've already reported to the official, but the official hasn't come yet, and I'm afraid that he will come back and harm you, so I'll let you know first. ”
Liu Ruyan nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you for telling me in time, otherwise my mother and son may be more and less lucky." ”
The stranger waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I'm also for justice." Mrs. Liu, what are you going to do now?"
Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and said, "I can't let that evil monk get away with it, and I can't let him harm others again." I'm going to stay here and wait for the government to come and get him." ”
The stranger looked at Liu Ruyan with admiration and said, "Mrs. Liu is really a heroine among women, I admire it." Since you have decided to stay, then I will secretly protect you in the vicinity in case the evil monk comes back to take revenge. ”
Liu Ruyan glanced at the stranger gratefully and nodded. She returned to the cellar and held the baby tightly in her arms, her heart full of determination and courage.
Soon after, the people from the government finally arrived at the Guanyin Temple. After some searching, they finally found the evil monk in the cellar. The evil monk saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but was caught by the people of the government in time.
After interrogation, the evil monk's crimes were finally revealed. He not only harmed Liu Ruyan and several other women, but also stole the property in the temple. The government brought him to justice and brought justice to the victims.
After Liu Ruyan learned the news, her heart was happy. She walked out of the cellar with the baby in her arms and basked in the warm sunshine. She felt as if she had been reborn, full of hope and confidence for the future.
Since then, Liu Ruyan and the baby have lived happily ever after. She uses her diligence and wisdom to run the family's business and carry forward the family business. And the baby also grew up healthily under her careful care and became a smart and clever child.
The temple also became famous because of this incident, attracting more pilgrims to come and worship. And Liu Ruyan has also become a legend in the town, and her story has been told to this day.
Liu Ruyan received justice in the Guanyin Temple, but her heart was not completely calm because of this. She knew that although the evil monk was brought to justice, the shadow and fear in her heart were difficult to eliminate. However, every time she sees the innocent smile of the baby in her arms, the gloom in her heart will be dispelled and she will be re-energized.
As the days passed, Liu Ruyan's baby gradually grew up and became a lively and lovely child. Liu Ruyan named him "Bao'er", which means that he is as precious as a baby. Under Liu Ruyan's careful education, Bao'er is smart, kind and sensible, and is deeply loved by the people in the town.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, Liu Ruyan received a letter from afar. The letter told her that her family was in trouble due to a sudden disaster and was in dire need of her help. Liu Ruyan was anxious in her heart, she knew that she couldn't sit idly by, but Bao'er was still young, and she couldn't leave him alone in the town.
In hesitation and struggle, Liu Ruyan decided to take Bao'er to her parents' house with her. She packed her bags, said goodbye to the monks of Guanyin Temple and her neighbors in the town, and set out on the road to her mother's home.
During the journey, Liu Ruyan and Bao'er experienced many hardships and obstacles. They were attacked by bandits, and they were also exposed to bad weather. But Liu Ruyan, with her firm belief and the power of her mother's love, turned danger into disaster again and again, and finally arrived at her parents' house safely.
At her mother's house, Liu Ruyan saw her long-lost relatives and the tragic situation in her hometown. She did not hesitate to use her savings to help the villagers rebuild their homes. Under her leadership, the villagers united as one, faced the difficulties together, and finally got through the difficulties.
During this time in her mother's home, Liu Ruyan not only helped the villagers rebuild their homes, but also met many like-minded friends. Her kindness and tenacity have infected the people around her, and also made her understand the meaning and value of life more deeply.
However, when Liu Ruyan was about to return to the town with Bao'er, she received shocking news. It turned out that the evil monk who was brought to justice did not give up, and he had been secretly looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Liu Ruyan. When he learned the news that Liu Ruyan had left the town, he immediately gathered a group of people to chase and kill.
After Liu Ruyan learned the news, although she was frightened, she did not flinch. She knew that she couldn't be defeated by the evil monk like this, and she couldn't let Bao'er be hurt. So, she decided to take Bao'er with her to face this challenge.
In a fierce battle, Liu Ruyan relied on his wisdom and courage to successfully defeat the evil monk's men and push the evil monk to a desperate situation. In the final showdown, Liu Ruyan knocked the evil monk to the ground with a wooden stick, winning for herself and Bao'er.
After the battle, Liu Ruyan and Bao'er returned to the town amid the cheers of the villagers. Their deeds were rumored to be a good story, and Liu Ruyan also became a hero in the town. And the evil monk was duly punished for his crimes.
Since then, Liu Ruyan and Bao'er have lived a peaceful and happy life. They have infected the people around them with their kindness and tenacity, and have also made the world a better place. And that story full of fantasy and adventure has also become a legend in people's mouths and has been passed down to this day.
