The story takes place in the town of Xionghui during the Song Dynasty.
On this day, the monk Wu Liang got up early, washed up, came to the place where the bell was ringing, and rang the bell. As the saying goes, when a monk strikes a bell one day, this is also The duty of Wu Liang.
However, Wu Liang had been ringing the bell for three consecutive years, and under normal circumstances, the monk who rang the bell would not ring the bell for so long, and Wu Liang felt that the abbot must be deliberately preventing him from becoming a mainstay in the temple, and was willing to make him an inferior monk.
"These old monks must have been intent on embarrassing me and refused to promote me, but instead made me an inferior person in the temple." Wu Liang muttered quietly.
But complaining was complaining, and he still had to do what the abbot commanded.
"Two years ago, I promised to be a candidate for abbot of the temple, but now I haven't kept it. The more Wu Liang thought about it, the more angry he felt.
It turned out that two years ago, Wu Liang overheard the conversation between the abbot and the abbot, and made it clear that he would become a candidate for the next abbot, which made Wu Liang happy.
However, it was delayed in honoring, and it was no wonder that Wu Liang felt resentful.
After Wu Liang rang the bell, he went back to his room to memorize the scriptures, at this time, a small monk came to Wu Liang's door and knocked on the door a few times.
"Is Master Wu Liang here?" The abbot is looking for you. ”
When Wu Liang heard that the abbot was looking for him, he thought to himself: It must be a matter of discussing let me serve as an abbot.
Thinking of this, Wu Liang was so happy that he almost jumped up, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I know, go back and tell the abbot, I will come right away." ”
"Okay master, I'll go and tell the abbot." The little monk finished speaking and left.
At this time, after Wu Liang briefly cleaned himself up, he came to the door of the abbot's room, knocked on the door, and the abbot let him in.
"Abbot, are you looking for me for anything?"
"There is something to tell you." The abbot said.
When Wu Liang heard this, he felt that he must be willing to announce him as the next abbot candidate, so he wanted to happily accept the arrival of this moment.
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, I and a few abbots are going to go out of town for a few days, and this afternoon a widow from the village is going to come to our temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and I see that no one in the temple is suitable for entertaining him, and it is only you who thinks about it. The abbot said.
When Wu Liang heard that this was the case, he did not want to announce that he would become the next abbot candidate, which made him very disappointed and angry, but he could not show it in front of the abbot, so he had to agree.
"Good abbot, I'll entertain the widow in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'm relieved to have you handle things." The abbot said this and left the temple with several abbots.
Seeing several abbots leave, Wu Liang could no longer control the depression in his heart.
"I was full of joy for so long, and I thought it was to make me the next abbot, but it turned out that it was not, and let me deal with such a broken thing." This is clearly looking down on me. Goku said angrily.
"Is it the monk Wu Liang?" A sweeter voice sounded.
"Right, right, who." Wu Liang said without anger.
But when Goku turned his head to see a very good-looking woman, his eyes stared straight at her.
"The abbot has already informed me, saying that Master Wuliang received me?" The widow asked.
"Right, right, I'll receive you." Goku liang has confused his mind.
"Then ask Master Wuliang to bring me incense and paper, and I will burn paper for my dead husband in order to pay tribute to him." The widow suddenly became a little sad.
"Howler, howler, this is the incense paper." When Gora finished speaking, he took the incense and paper to the widow.
After the widow received the incense paper, she began to pay homage, and when it was over, she was about to leave.
"The female benefactor is not in a hurry, and before the abbot left, he asked me to bring you something, which was in the abbot's room." Wu Liang said.
"And what else is going on?" What is it? ”
"This is what the abbot told me, and I don't know, but the female benefactor will go with me and get it."
The widow did not think too much, so she followed Wu Liang to the abbot's room, Wu Liang closed the door, and wanted to delay the widow, who knew that as soon as she approached, the widow transformed into the abbot.
This change surprised Wu Liang.
"You, aren't you a widow?" So become the abbot? ”
"Wu Liang, I originally wanted to give you a test to see if you are not close to a woman, if you pass this level, then you are the next abbot." You really let me down so much. The abbot said disappointedly.
"Abbot, I know I'm wrong, give me another chance." Goku said pleadingly.
"I won't keep you anymore, so go down the mountain." The abbot said regretfully.
As a result, Wu Liang was forcibly driven down the mountain by other monks in the temple, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he had no other ability, so he died on his own, begging all day long, and lived his life, which was sad and lamentable!
