Chapter 75 The Story of the Blind Monk-1

I was not blind when I was born.The experience of my life is strange, if it is written into a book, it can teach future generations a little bit. My father is a king and I am the prince.I have learned since I was a child and know the seven reading methods.When I was a teenager, I also studied with many people of insight, proficient in astronomy, geography, poetry and prose, and immersed myself in various knowledge and skills. Therefore, in the contemporary academic circle, my knowledge and achievements are outstanding, and my reputation spreads far and wide. When the king of India heard that I was so knowledgeable, he sent envoys to our country to visit me with expensive gifts and traveled thousands of miles, and hired me to give lectures in India.My father arranged six large ships for my journey, loaded with many gifts and camels and horses, so we set off and sailed in the sea for a whole month, and then at a port, led the camels and horses, unloaded the gifts , with a full ten camels, I rode to India under the service of my entourage.

Not long after we left this time, a hurricane suddenly blew up in the wilderness, flying dust and covering the sky.After the storm subsided, fifty fierce knights in armor suddenly appeared in the wilderness.We looked carefully and realized that they were a group of Arab bandits.Because we were single and weak, and we had ten loads of valuables with us, they attracted them to push and rob us.When they attacked us, I said to them, "We are foreign envoys who have come to India to visit the king, and you must not treat us like this." "We are not within his territory, and we are not under his jurisdiction at all." They said, killing people and looting goods.

Some of my followers were killed, others scattered, and I myself was badly wounded.Fortunately, the robber was attracted by the property and didn't notice me at that time, so I was able to escape.At that time, I was a noble and happy person. Once I was in trouble, I would turn pale with panic, be at a loss, and couldn't tell the direction or route at all. I fled in embarrassment in a hurry, and hurriedly fled into a cave to hide.The next day, he got out of the cave, continued to flee in a hurry, and finally wandered into a city.The city is densely populated and has a beautiful and prosperous scene.The lingering winter has just passed, and the gentle wind brings spring to come. There are hundreds of flowers blooming everywhere, the gurgling water and the melodious birdsong. It is exactly:

A city of prosperity and prosperity, There is no spectacle of turmoil, Peace and tranquility are its face, It seems like a paradise, In people's lives, There is always only a moving gesture. I entered the city, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground. I was exhausted by then.Due to the panic of the past few days, I became mentally exhausted. In this strange city, I didn't know where to find my home.I dragged my legs that seemed to be filled with lead, passed by a tailor's shop, and greeted the tailor.The tailor stopped me and asked me how I got here.I told him in detail what happened to me when I was robbed by robbers during the journey.He heard what had happened to me, and was very worried about me, saying:

"Young man, don't reveal your identity. I'm worried for you. Do you know that our king is your father's feud, and there is also a feud between the two countries. He will arrest you." Then he took out food for me and ate and drank with me.We sat together and talked until late at night.He put me in a dark room to rest, and brought me bedding and other daily necessities.So I stayed three days at the tailor's house, and he asked me: "Do you know a trade for a living?" "I am a scholar, proficient in writing, good at writing, arithmetic and accounting."

"Your knowledge is useless here. The people here don't know much about business except for business." "As Allah testifies, I know nothing other than this knowledge and knowledge." "Tighten your belt, take your ax and rope, go to the mountains to chop wood, and come back and sell some money to make a living! Allah will rescue you. As long as you don't be identified by others, there will be no more accidents. " He bought me an ax and rope, and led me to the woodcutters, and entrusted me to them.From then on, I went to the mountains with the woodcutters to cut firewood every day, and then tied them into a bunch with ropes, carried them to the city, and sold them for half a gold coin.Part of the money was used to make ends meet, and the rest was saved.I lived like this for more than a year as a woodcutter.

One day at the beginning of the second year, I went out to chop wood as usual.I went deep into the mountains and found a lot of dry firewood in a forest, and one of the dead trees was very thick.I dug along the roots of the tree, digging through the soil, and accidentally bumped the ax against something hard.I dug up all the dirt and saw that it was a brass ring nailed to a wooden cover.I lifted the wooden cover, and a staircase appeared in front of me.There is a door at the bottom of the stairs. I pushed the door and went in. A beautiful house with a unique structure appeared in front of me. A beautiful girl like a flower lived in the house.When I saw that girl, I was very amazed at the greatness of Allah, who created such a moving girl, and I couldn't help but knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly.

The girl looked at me and asked, "Who are you? Are you a man or a devil?" "I am human." "How did you get here? I have lived here for twenty-five years, but I have never seen a single person." I told her my true identity and experience from beginning to end.She listened and sympathized with me, and could not help shedding tears, and said: "Let me tell you about myself. Do you know that I am the daughter of King Aimus, the master of the island of Ainus. Unfortunately, , on the wedding night of my cousin's wedding, I was kidnapped by the devil Jerky, son of Lycimos and grandson of Iblius. He flew me to this place on his back, and carried me I was imprisoned. From then on, he brought me all the clothes, jewelry, food, and all daily necessities I needed. He came here every ten days to stay for one night. He once told me that no matter what time , whatever I want, just reach out and touch the two lines written on the dome of the house, and he will appear at once. He left here four days ago, and he will come again in six days. Would you like to come Live here for five days, and then leave on the first day he comes?"

I said, "Of course I would." Glad to hear that, she stood up and led me through an archway into a small, fancy bathroom.She made me sit on the mattress beside her, fed me musk syrup, and gave me a lot of fruit to taste.I ate and chatted with her about things outside.Later, she said: "You look tired, you'd better lie down for a while." I slept comfortably, completely forgetting the ordeal and suffering of being in a foreign land.I woke up from the dream and saw that she was gently massaging my legs, so I got up to eat, drink and chat with her.She said: "As Allah testifies, I am lonely and living here alone. For twenty-five years, no one has talked to me. I am very depressed. Allah brought you to me."

I appreciate her passion for me.I was extremely happy to be with her, because for the first time in my life I was with such a beautiful girl.Just like that, I talked and laughed with her, ate and drank, and spent the evening happily. The next day, she and I were already hooked and she asked me, "Hey! Would you like a drink?" I replied: "Okay, you take out the wine." She went into the pantry, took out a bottle of wine, served dishes and fruit, and sang: "If I had predicted your coming, I will shed blood and tears without hesitation, so that they hang over my cheeks,

To welcome you, please walk over my eyelids. " I appreciated her talent and knowledge, thanked her for her kindness, and happily accompanied her for a drink.When I was half drunk, I said to her, "Come, let me take you out, and you will not be bound by the devil from now on." She smiled and shook her head and said, "Oh! It's easy to say! If you really feel pity for me, we agree that from now on, within every ten days, the devil will occupy me for one day, and I will share the remaining nine days with you. Satisfied." By this time I was very drunk and insane, and I stood up staggering, determined to help her completely, and said: "Now I will erase the writing on the roof and let the devil come here. I will and He fights to the death, I am very good at exorcising demons!" After hearing my words, she turned pale with fright, and said, "I swear in the name of Allah, you must not act recklessly, lest you burn yourself and regret it later." Then she sang: "The bridle-horses scramble to gallop, who will be parted, You walk as slowly as you can, Because time is gone forever, The end of life is forever. " I didn't listen to her dissuasion, and kicked through the roof stubbornly.The sky darkened immediately, and the ground trembled amidst the lightning, thunder, and wind and rain.Then I woke up with fright and asked: "Why did this happen all of a sudden?" "The devil is coming. I warned you just now, and told you not to be reckless. As Allah bears witness, you have done me a disservice. Get out of here the way you came." I panicked, turned and ran, leaving my shoes and ax on the ground.As soon as I stepped on the stairs, I heard a loud noise, the ground cracked, and a terrifying devil came out of the crack and asked her: "Why did you summon me suddenly? Have you encountered any danger?" "No danger at all. It's just a moment of boredom. Drink some wine to relieve the boredom. When I was drunk, I somehow came across the writing on the roof." "Bastard, how dare you deceive me!" He turned his head to look around, saw my shoes and an axe, and pointed at me, "This is a human thing. Who the hell came here?" "I just discovered this too, maybe you just got involved." "Nonsense!" the devil cursed, stripped off her clothes, tied her hands and feet to four stakes, and tortured her brutally, forcing her to tell the truth. I couldn't bear to hear her cry and groan, and I was afraid and uneasy, so I crawled out tremblingly and staggeringly, put the wooden cover on as it was, and covered it with soil.I regret in every possible way, I shouldn't have hurt her.Thinking of that pretty girl who was murdered by the devil, thinking of her being imprisoned for twenty-five years, and today being tortured because of me, thinking of my father and his throne, thinking of myself living as a woodcutter in a foreign land, I had mixed feelings and was very pessimistic. I couldn't help weeping sadly, and sang: "In times of adversity, You should recall the past. Life is short and setbacks are inevitable, You should comfort yourself and lift your spirits with memories. " I hastily found my way out of the forest, and went straight to the tailor's house. He was restless, waiting for me on pins and needles.As soon as he saw me, he went forward and said, "Last night, I was worried about you all night, lest you meet wild animals or have any accidents in the mountains. Praise be to Allah, now you have finally returned safely." I thanked him for his concern, went back to my room, and hid in it alone, thinking about the experience in the mountains, regretting endlessly, blaming my recklessness for causing trouble.When I was feeling remorseful, a tailor friend suddenly opened the door and came in and said to me: "My friend, a stranger came to you with your shoes and an axe. He went to the woodcutters, and he said that before dawn he I went to the mosque to pray and found the shoes and the ax on the way, but I didn't know who it was, so I asked them. The woodcutters recognized yours and told him, so he came to you with the shoes and the ax .He's waiting for you outside, you go and collect your shoes and axe." After hearing what the tailor said, I was taken aback, my face changed drastically, I was restless, and was at a loss for a while. At this time, the ground suddenly cracked, and a stranger drilled out of it.I looked carefully, and it turned out that he was the devil in the forest. Although he tortured the girl in every possible way, she refused to tell the truth. So the devil took the shoe and the ax and said, "Since I am Der, the grandson of Iblis, Kit, of course I can catch the shoe and the ax and the master!" He went to ask the woodcutter, and then found my place.He rushed forward like lightning and caught me in his claws. He flew into the air, flew higher and higher, and finally landed in the forest and got into the basement I had been to.I gradually came back to my senses, and saw that the girl was still tied up, nailed to the ground, covered in bruises and covered in blood.The devil stretched out his claws and grabbed her hair and asked: "Is this that person?" The girl glanced at me and said, "I don't know this man, this is the first time I've seen him." "You were punished because of him, do you still want to hide it for him?" "I have never seen him, it is true! Allah forbids lying." "Since you don't know him, take this sword and chop off his head." She walked up to me with a sword in her hand. I winked at her with tears in my eyes, hoping that she would not kill me. She understood what I meant and whispered, "You are responsible for these troubles." It's time for you to forgive me and rescue me." Then he chanted: "The eyes are my tongue and messenger, Tell her the secrets of my heart. when we meet, The affection is earth-shattering. When I am speechless, Eyes speak for me. She winked, I understand her feelings. I gesture, She understands what's on my mind. We keep silent and let love flow naturally, Because you and I are connected. " The girl understood what I meant, dropped the sword in her hand, and said, "I don't know this man at all, and he didn't offend me. How can I kill him? Besides, this kind of thing is not allowed in Islam." She said Stepped back a few steps. The devil said: "You don't intend to kill him, and you don't want to tell the truth. This is a manifestation of human beings protecting each other." So he turned his head and looked at me, and asked: "Do you know this woman?" "This woman? I'm just seeing her now for the first time." "Take this sword and kill her, and I will believe that you never knew her, and I will let you go." I picked up the sword, walked up to the girl hesitantly, raised the sword as if to kill her, she gave a wink, hinting: "I just forgave you, but you want to treat me like this?" I understood what she meant, Answer with a wink: "I am willing to sacrifice myself to get you out of trouble." Then he chanted: "He who is silent, To pour out to a lover with her eyes. flexible glances, Beautiful face! This glance conveys love, That smile is so bright. " My heart was painful and contradictory, and I shed sad tears.I put down the sword in my hand and said: "Cruel devil, a woman with short-sightedness and emotion over reason, she refuses to kill me. As a man, I have never met her before, how can I have the heart to kill her?" ? Even if she is smashed to pieces, I will not kill her." "You two really have feelings for each other." The devil said, took up the sword, and slashed four times in a row, cutting off the girl's hands and feet. I witnessed such atrocities and knew that this time I was doomed.The girl stared at me, this is the last forever farewell.The devil cut off her neck with a sword and killed her. Then he turned to stare at me and said, "Man, I must kill you. Before you die, tell me what you want." "What am I asking for?" "Tell me, do you want me to magically turn you into something, a dog, a donkey, or a monkey?" "In the name of Allah, if you let me go, let go of a Muslim who has no fault, Allah will forgive you." I hope he will show some kindness, flatter and plead with him in every possible way.I said, "It's not my fault." "Stop talking nonsense, I will definitely kill you, just to give you a choice before dying." "Devil King, show mercy! This is an easy thing for you. Please forgive me like the envied forgive the envious." "What are you talking about? What happened? Tell me!" Once upon a time there was a kind and famous man.He lives in a city and lives happily.But one of his neighbors was very jealous of his happiness and reputation.Jealousy grew day by day, and he became more and more impulsive. He couldn't help but do something unconscionable, slandering and criticizing that good person wantonly, which made him unable to sleep well or eat well.As for the respected and good man, his situation has not deteriorated, and his life is getting better and better.Later, in order to avoid conflicts with his neighbors and appease his jealousy and harm, he resolutely decided to leave his hometown and move to live in other cities.Before leaving, he sighed and said: "Ah! Allah testifies that for His sake I have to leave the earth and flee to the moon." He bought a vacant land in a foreign land, built a house, bought furniture and daily necessities, and built a small mosque near the original dry well.Some pious and poor Muslims in the vicinity often communicated with him, and many people even came from far away to pay homage to him and make friends with him.His reputation spread farther and farther, and the neighbor who was jealous of him heard about it and joined the crowd to see him.He entertained them warmly.The envious man took the opportunity to say to him: "I came all the way because I have something important to tell you. I want to give you good news. Come with me and go outside the house and talk." Believing it was true, he stood up, held the hand of the envious man, walked and talked, and came to the dry well.Taking advantage of his unguardedness, the jealous man pushed him hard and pushed him down the well.At this time, there was no one around, and everything was done without anyone noticing. The jealous man thought he must be dead and slipped away. Unexpectedly, several gods lived in the dry well. When he fell, he was caught by the gods and gently lifted to a big stone slab, so he was not injured.At that time, a fairy asked: "Do you know this man?" "I don't know." The rest of the gods replied. "This is the good man who was pushed down the well by the envious. He moved to live in our city, built this little chapel, and practiced in it. He praised Allah every day and chanted, and his voice was a consolation. Our Xianle. His neighbor deliberately killed him and pushed him down the well with tricks, but his reputation spread far and wide. The king is a princess, and he will come to visit him tomorrow." "Why is it related to the princess?" "The princess is bewitched by the devil. If someone knows a secret recipe, she can be cured. This secret recipe is very easy for this good person to find." "What medicine does she need?" "This good man has a black cat with a white spot the size of a penny on its tail. If you pluck the seven white hairs from the white spot, light it, and smoke the princess, her illness will be cured immediately. will be cured, and the devil will be far away from her." The fairy's conversation was kept in his heart by this good man.The next morning, he got out of the well, caught the black cat, plucked seven white hairs from the white spots on its tail, and wrapped them in paper.As soon as the sun rose in the east, the king himself came to visit him at his house with his ministers and guards.
