Past Life and Present Life
Once upon a time, there was a scholar who promised to marry his fiancée on a certain date in a certain month in a certain year.
On that day, his fiancée married someone else, and the scholar was so shocked that he fell ill.
At that time, a traveling monk passed by and took out a mirror from his pocket and asked the scholar to look at it.
The scholar saw the sea, a murdered woman lying naked on the beach.
A man passes by, takes one look, shakes his head, and walks away. Another passes by, takes his clothes off, covers the woman’s body, and walks away. Another man passed by, went over, dug a hole, and carefully buried the body.
The monk explained that the female body on the beach was your fiancée’s past life.
You were the second person who passed by and had given him a piece of clothing. She fell in love with you in this life only to return the favor.
But the person she ultimately wanted to repay for a lifetime was the one who buried her at the end, and that person was her current husband.
The scholar was enlightened and recovered from his illness.
