The Story of Nine-Colored Deer (Part 1)

Mr. Pig, it is fate that you and I met. As the saying goes, "If you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell." All of this is your own choice and the arrangement of fate~

As for the story of our fate, please see Savage Sang’s article:

Jungle Hearth S3｜The vegetarian deer and the pig that wants to be eaten

(The negotiation and dialogue between the two of us that we reached peacefully and you can listen to me tell the story and decide the way out is recorded in the response section at the bottom of the article. If you are bored, you can read it. After a bunch of seriously discussed responses, the two of us Also bargaining very seriously)

Another thing..., in fact, I am easily caught when I lie, so I will not faint. Sometimes fainting... is a means of protection..., like a couple in the next city, one time The husband was caught and raped in bed by his wife, so he resorted to the method of fainting... After being shaken awake by his wife, he yelled with a confused look on his face:
This is where? Why am I here? Who are you (the mistress on the bed next to you)?

Turning around, he pretended that he had just seen his wife:
Wife, save me!

....Although it is stupid, I feel an inexplicable joy, at least I can get over it now~
(The story is very long, let’s take a look at the graying in the morning and take a rest)

Back to the topic, today I want to tell you a story that was painted in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. He is a story about the Deer King and his people.
The whole story is known as the "Deer King Jataka" or the "Nine-Colored Deer Jataka". The story is recorded in the "Buddha Speaks of the Nine-Colored Deer Sutra".

A long time ago, by the Ganges River in India, there lived a beautiful and kind-hearted nine-color deer. This deer was a reincarnation of Sakyamuni~

The reason why the nine-color deer is called the nine-color deer is because its fur is very beautiful. How beautiful is it? It will shine with nine colors of light in the sun ~ and the nine-color deer also has a pair of antlers as white as snow. The nine-color deer is so rare and beautiful.

One day, the Nine-Colored Deer was walking by the river as usual, when it heard a human voice calling for help from the river.
Most people don't know... In fact, we deer can swim. For example, sambar deer are called "sambar deer" because they are good swimmers and like to be close to water.
(But Shalu is not because there used to be many deer that liked to play in the sand. I suspect that someone in Shalu omitted to write about the car when writing about the sand wheel...)

Back to the story, Jiuse Lu heard someone shouting for help, so he walked to the river. He saw someone floating in the rolling river and shouting for help. The man was begging the mountain god, tree god, and dragon god to be okay. , please, please take pity on me! Who will rescue me ashore?
The compassionate Nine-Colored Deer quickly approached the river bank and said to the drowning man: Don't be afraid. I will swim to you later. Then you can ride on my back and grab my horns, and I will save you. Ashore.
(....Nine-colored deer..., can you let humans know that we can talk like this? He will ask us to work as customer service in the future...)
In this way, the Nine-Colored Deer rescued a drowning person. You must know... that is the Ganges River... and the Ganges River is very wide. The Nine-Colored Deer rescued people by crossing against the direction of the current. It takes a lot of effort to bring people ashore, so Jiuselu was quite exhausted after rescuing people ashore.

The drowning man who was rescued from the lake rested on the deer's back and was saved. He walked around the deer three times, knelt down next to the deer with gratitude, and told the deer that I am willing to be your servant in return. You, I can help you collect water plants and the like.
Jiuselu said: You don’t need to repay me, just go back and live your own life, but please don’t let humans know that I am here, because humans will come and kill me to take my fur and horns.
The man promised Jiuselu, saying that you saved my life, and I would never reveal that there was a Jiuselu here. If he did, my whole body would be covered with sores and a foul odor would come out of my mouth.
Just like that, the man returned to the town~

Mr. Zhu, at this point in the story, what do you think will happen next?

We will continue to talk about the second half of the story tomorrow. Let’s take a look at the scenery and take a rest~

Finally, a record of animals not allowing humans to discover their abilities is as follows:
There was a very lazy family. Their father asked the mother to do housework. If the mother didn’t want to do it, she would ask her sister to do it. If the sister didn’t want to do it, she would ask her sister to do it. If the sister didn’t want to do it, she would ask her puppy to do it...

One day, a guest came to the house, and the guest discovered that it was actually a puppy sweeping the floor!

He was surprised and said, "You know how to sweep the floor?"
The puppy said: "They don't do it, but they all ask me to do it!"

The guest was even more surprised: "You can talk?"
Puppy: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Otherwise they will ask me to answer the phone if they know I can talk!"
