Chapter 76 The Story of the Blind Monk-2

He humbly went out to meet the king, and walked quickly to meet the king.After saluting, he said: "May I guess the reason why Your Majesty came to my humble house?" "Of course, honest old man, you can guess." "Your Majesty came to the humble house to ask me how to cure the princess' illness." "Yes! Honest old man, you guessed right." "Your Majesty, please send someone to fetch the princess now. If God blesses, I will be able to cure her disease immediately." The king was very happy to hear that, and sent his attendants to fetch the handcuffed princess.The good man asked her to sit down, covered her with a cloth, took out the white hair and lit it to smoke her, and the princess immediately regained consciousness.She slowly opened her eyes, covered her face and said, "What's going on? Who brought me here?"

The king was overjoyed, kissed the eyes of the princess, and then kissed the good man, then turned to the courtiers and asked, "Tell me, what reward should be given to the man who heals the princess?" "The princess should be married to him." "Yes, you are right." So the king gladly ordered the princess to be betrothed to him, and he became a horse overnight. Not long after, the prime minister died of illness, and the king asked the courtiers for their opinions, asking, "Who shall we choose as the new prime minister?" "Let the son-in-law do it." The ministers replied unanimously.

As a result, he became prime minister.Not long after, the king died. The courtiers discussed the succession of the throne and asked, "Who should we choose as our new king?" "Choose a prime minister." The courtiers agreed. As a result, he jumped from a prime minister to a king.He loved the people like a son, and became a wise and popular king. One day, the king went on a tour in a car, surrounded by civil and military officials and guards, with great momentum.Suddenly he saw that jealous guy was also watching in the crowd, so he ordered: "Go and bring that man to me, but don't frighten him." After hearing the order, the attendant brought the jealous guy to the king, and the king He ordered the prime minister: "Take one thousand gold coins from the treasury, and reward him with ten loads of goods, and send a few people to send him back to his hometown." In the end, he still said goodbye to the envious man kindly, and did not pursue the envious man past mistakes.

"Major, you now know the virtues of that good man. His neighbors envied him in every possible way, lashed out at him, and ruined his happiness wantonly. He pushed him down the well, but he didn’t remember the old grudge, and not only took revenge on his neighbor, but also forgave him and rewarded him with money and goods. Can’t you be like that good man? Good will be rewarded with good!” I said to The devil pleaded earnestly, begging him to let me go.I chanted: "The generous man, Never care about other people's faults. the sins of others, He is always generous. All the crimes that remain in me,

Please cross it all out from your gorgeous memory. Those who hope for forgiveness from Allah, People should be treated with forgiveness. " The devil heard my pleading and said, "Stop talking nonsense! I will not kill you, but I will not forgive you easily. I will cast magic on you." So he grabbed me and flew into the air.He flew high and looked down at the earth, which was like a floating bowl.After a while, I was taken to a mountain peak.The devil grabbed a handful of sand, murmured a mantra, sprinkled the sand on me, and said, "Turn this man into a monkey." Immediately, I became a monkey who seemed to have lived a hundred years.

Thinking about my life experience, I couldn't help but feel very sad, but I have no way to change this cruel experience, I can only endure it silently, because I know that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good and bad times. I climbed to the foot of the mountain, and in front of me was an endless plain.I walked through the plains for a month and came to the vast sea.I was wandering around there, and suddenly found a wooden boat approaching the shore in the calm sea.I immediately hid behind a big rock, and when the boat touched the shore, I jumped into the boat.One passenger said, "Kick that inauspicious thing off." Another said, "Let's just kill it." The third said, "Slash with this sword." I held the captain tightly The skirts of the clothes, weeping and crying.The captain took pity on me and said:

"My friends, this monkey regards us as a savior, and I am willing to save it. From now on, let it stay by my side. Don't kill it, and don't abuse it." So the captain took me in, and I didn't care what he said. I can understand, what he wants me to do, I will do.I served him carefully and diligently, in exchange for his favor. The ship sailed on the sea for fifty days with the wind, and came to a city, which was densely populated.As soon as the ship stopped, the king sent ministers to the ship to congratulate him, saying: "Your Majesty, I wish you a safe visit. He told me to send this roll of paper to the ship. Please write any line on the paper. Because to the king The minister who took the record passed away, and the king swore to find someone who could match his calligraphy to succeed him."

The merchants took the paper roll, which was one foot long and one foot wide, and everyone who could write wrote a line.Finally, I walked over solemnly and grabbed the scroll. They were afraid that I would break the scroll, so they hurriedly stopped me. I signaled that I wanted to write too, so the captain said: "Just let it write a few words. If it stains or breaks the scroll, we will drive it away; if it writes well, I will adopt it as a son, because there is no monkey as clever as it is. .” So I took the ink pen in my hand and wrote a few paragraphs of poems in several fonts: one

In ages past your generosity has been celebrated, Today your kindness is still praised by everyone. May our Lord, Allah, Do not make you a wandering stranger. two His pen spread the meaning everywhere, Your handwriting makes people feel at ease. Your fingers are like five clear streams, Clear water flowed from his fingertips, watering the four corners of the earth. three All scholars will live forever, and his ink marks will be immortalized forever. You never scribble randomly, Write only those words that will cheer you up on Easter Day. Four The news of your long death has just reached our ears,

You will no longer be seen in the world. We are still in the mouth of the inkwell, Use the mouthpiece of laughter to pour out sorrow. Fives There never was a king forever, Things change, people come and go. Only green pines and cypresses, It will always represent life and stand still. six When you open the beautiful and luxurious ink cartridge, Let the pen and ink sway its generosity and generosity. You should record the good things, Shining brightly against the backdrop of ink. After finishing writing, I gave the scroll to the envoys to bring to the palace and present it to the king.The king saw it and admired my calligraphy the most. He ordered the envoys: "You prepare drums, bring gorgeous clothes, lead mules and horses, and bring this calligrapher to the palace with a grand ceremony."

After hearing this decree, the envoys secretly laughed one by one. The king was very annoyed and cursed, "You bloody fellows! Is there anything wrong with what I told you? How dare you laugh at me?!" "Your Majesty, we laugh for a reason." "what is the reason?" "The calligrapher His Majesty is going to meet is nothing but a monkey. Although these characters are beautiful and elegant, they are not written by humans, but by a monkey brought by the captain." "Can monkeys also write?" "Verily, Allah testifies, it is true." The king was very surprised and said curiously: "I want to buy the captain's monkey." So he sent his envoys to play drums, take clothes and horses to meet me in the boat, and told them: "You must put this suit on it, let it ride on the back of a mule, take care of it carefully, and put it on the back of a mule." He was brought into the palace smoothly." The envoys came to the ship, explained the king's wishes to the captain, then dressed me, let me ride a mule, and sent me to the palace.When people heard about such a strange event, they rushed out to watch the excitement, and the whole city was in a commotion.When I came before the king, I knelt down and kissed the ground three times.He asked me to sit down, and I knelt on the ground.All the ministers were surprised to see that I was polite, and the king also observed my behavior with curiosity. The king retreated to the left and right, leaving only an eunuch and a boy to wait on him.Then he hosted a banquet for me, and the dishes were extremely rich.There are animals running on the mountains, birds flying in the air, and poultry in cages, and the delicacies are too numerous to enumerate.The king motioned for me to sit with him.I knelt down and kissed the ground, then sat up and ate, and when I had eaten I got up, washed my hands, and then took my pen and wrote a poem praising the feast, which pleased the King very much. He sighed: "It's so strange! A monkey can still write such a good calligraphy and such a good poem. I swear to Allah, this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen." The servant presented the wine in the glass to the king, he took a sip and handed it to me, I then knelt down and kissed the ground, drank it with my neck up, and then wrote a poem: one They put me on the fire and asked, Find me willing to suffer, to suffer. So people took me in their arms, Let me make out with the prince. two Dawn drives away the darkness, Please let me drink three swigs of the strong liquor of evil. I was indistinguishable, I don't know if the wine is in the glass or the glass is in the wine? The king was surprised when he read my poem, and said: "If this poem is written by a human being, the author will surely become an outstanding figure in the literary world." Then the king brought chess and asked, "Would you like to play chess with me? " I nodded yes.So I sat down and played chess with the king.In two games the King lost to me twice, much to his amazement.After playing chess, I picked up a pen and wrote the following poem on the board: Today the two armies confront each other, The fighting is unprecedentedly fierce; until night falls, Then they stopped fighting and ceased their troops, and each went back to the camp. After the king read the poem, his surprise and joy remained the same as before. He told the little boy: "Invite the princess here. Tell her to let her come and see this monkey." After a while, the little boy came out with the princess.But when she saw me, she covered her face with a veil, and said: "Father, why did you call your daughter out to meet a stranger?" "No!" The king was taken aback, and said, "There are only servant boys and eunuchs here, and they are all familiar to you." "This monkey is actually a young prince," said the princess. "His father was a king. The devil Jerki cast a spell on him and killed his wife, the daughter of Emmus. This monkey is a The learned prince turned into a monkey because he was controlled by magic." Hearing what the princess said, the king was very surprised. He looked back at me and asked, "Is what she said true?" I nodded "yes" and couldn't help crying. The king asked the princess, "How do you know he is a prince?" "Father, when I was young, there was an old woman who was proficient in magic and taught me a little bit of magic. I studied that set of magic seriously, and I know one hundred and seventy methods in it. I can use some of them to their advantage. Power, move the stone under your feet beyond the earth, turn the land into the ocean, and turn humans and animals into fish and animals." "Daughter, I swear on my life, you save this young man quickly, I want him to be my prime minister. He is a smart, lovely, knowledgeable young man." "Okay, I'll save him now." The princess took out a knife, drew a circle on the ground, wrote a few incantations and spells in the circle, then calmed down and meditated for a while, chanting words in her mouth.Some of the words and sentences she read could be heard clearly, while others were confusing.She read about a cup of tea, the sky gradually darkened, and then the devil suddenly appeared in front of us. His arms were like tree poles, his legs were like masts, and his eyes were like lanterns.The princess said to him, "You are a cursed fellow!" Immediately, the devil changed into a lion, and said, "You sinister woman! Haven't we sworn not to disturb each other? Why do you break your vow?" "You damned fellow! Who will believe your covenant?" "You're asking for trouble!" The lion opened its teeth and danced its claws, and rushed towards the princess.With sharp eyes and quick hands, the princess quickly pulled out a piece of hair, shook it and recited a spell, and the hair immediately turned into a sharp sword. She raised the sword and slashed at the lion.But as soon as the lion's head fell to the ground, it turned into a poisonous scorpion. Immediately afterwards, the princess transformed into a big snake, chasing the scorpion, and the two fought fiercely.Then the devil turned into a vulture, and the princess into a vulture, and the vulture chased and pecked at the vulture.After that, the vulture turned into a black cat, and the vulture turned into a wolf, and they fought in the palace for a while.The black cat couldn't stand it anymore, and turned into a red, round pomegranate, which fell into the fountain. The wolf rushed all the way, and the pomegranate slowly rose into the air, then fell to the ground, smashed into pieces, and the pomegranate seeds scattered on the ground .The wolf transformed himself into a rooster, pecked at the pomegranate seeds, and ate up all the pomegranate seeds, leaving nothing behind. At this time, the rooster fluttered its wings and crowed, shaking its head to signal to us. We didn't understand what it said, and then it yelled loudly, deafeningly, as if the palace was about to collapse and press on us.It looked around, and finally found a pomegranate seed falling among the weeds by the pond, and ran over. Just about to peck at it, the pomegranate seed rolled into the water again, turned into a small fish, and dived to the bottom of the pond.The rooster immediately turned into a big fish and chased after it.After a while, we suddenly heard a roar, which made us all terrified, and saw the devil come out with his original shape, it opened its mouth, and black smoke came out of its nose and eyes.Then the princess also turned into a ball of fire and appeared behind him, and the two sides fought with fire, and the fire became more and more intense, and the palace was filled with fire and smoke.We were so frightened that we were afraid of being burned to death, and wanted to jump into the pool to escape.The king sighed: "It's over, I only hope that the great Allah will save us. We belong to Allah, and we all have to return to Allah's side. If I had known this, I shouldn't have asked her to rescue the monkey, lest she would be in such danger by fighting this powerful devil.If only we hadn't seen the monkey, how nice it would be!It is an unlucky thing, it brings calamity, we are merciful, and save it out of mercy, but disaster itself is imminent! " I was so speechless that I couldn't talk to him.Then the devil came up to us screaming, and sprayed flames in our faces. The princess chased after us, and we were surrounded by two flames.The princess's flames do not hurt us, but the devil's flames blinded my eyes and scorched the king's cheeks, beard, and lips.A ball of flame fell on the eunuch and burned him alive.At that time, we were so embarrassed that we all thought we were doomed.When the situation was extremely critical, a voice suddenly chanted: "Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest! He guides us to conquer evil." As soon as the voice fell, the devil was burned to death by the princess's flame, and instantly turned into a pile of ashes. The princess came to us and said, "Give me a bowl of water." So she took the water, murmured a spell, and sprinkled it on me, saying, "By the power of Allah and His name, restore Your original form." After the princess read it, I trembled all over, and instantly changed back to human form, returning to my previous appearance.Sadly, one of my eyes has been blinded by the devil's fire. "Father," said the princess, "I am going to die, because I have never fought a devil. If he were only a man, I could kill him quickly; and the reason I have overcome him so hard is because of the pomegranate seeds. Scattered on the ground, if I pecked at it, the devil would be wiped out immediately. But under the arrangement and manipulation of fate, he appeared several times and fought with me, fighting to the death with me on the ground, in the sky and in the water. Whenever I cast a spell, he countered me with the same spell, and finally he used flames against me. There was never a magician who used flames and was still invincible. Fortunately, fate took care of me, Let me burn him first. But I am about to die. After I go, Allah will give you another daughter." After the princess said, a black flame burned to her chest and gradually spread to her face.At this time, she said with tears: "I affirm that Allah is the only master, and Muhammad is Allah's apostle." After all, she was finally burned to death and turned into a pile of ashes. We are deeply saddened to see life and death.I can't bear to see this beautiful princess who rescued me burn to ashes, and I am willing to die instead of her.Although I have this wish, Allah's arrangements cannot be changed by ordinary people.Seeing that the princess was burned to ashes, the king beat his chest and stomped his feet, screamed for heaven and earth, tore his clothes, plucked out his beard, and wailed bitterly.I also burst into tears, tears gushing like a fountain. The king's attendants and ministers rushed to hear the sound, and saw that the king was on the verge of death, and there were two piles of ashes on the ground. The king came to his senses slowly and told them how the princess had fought the devil.They thought this was a misfortune for the country, and all the servants and ministers wept in mourning. Later, the king held a funeral for the princess and did a seven-day ceremony.The king ordered to build a tall mausoleum for the princess, lighted bright oil lamps, and ordered to scatter the ashes of the devil everywhere and scatter them with the wind without leaving any traces. After the funeral, the king fell very ill and was bedridden, almost dying. It took a whole month for the king to regain his health, and his burnt beard grew back a little.He called me to the bed and said to me: "Young man, when you were not here with us, our life has been peaceful and peaceful. I wish we had never seen you. We are so sad and sad now because of you." .First, I lost my daughter, who was a hundred times stronger than a man; Second, the fire burned my face and burned my eunuch to death. We paid a high price for you, but from the beginning to the end, we did not ask you Allah has arranged for this catastrophe, it is unavoidable. In short, my daughter sacrificed herself to save you, and this is what I should praise Allah. Son, now go away, far away Well. These tragedies that have happened for you really make me sad. May you come home safe and sound, and don't let me see you again, otherwise, maybe I will kill you." I bid farewell to the king, I leave the palace, and I leave the country. I was walking aimlessly, with nowhere to go, and the past came back to me: escape from robbers; meeting a tailor in the city after a month's journey; meeting a girl in a secret room in the forest; Killing by the devil... The experience of this period of time can be vividly remembered.Finally I praised Allah and sighed: "One eye was lost, but one life was saved." From then on, I cried every day and walked to the Holy Land for pilgrimage, determined to find my final destination there.
