There is a god in the temple
. Someone went to Handan to visit a friend. My friend happened to be not at home, so he had to go to Chenghuang Temple to stay temporarily. He saw a man selling melons lying in front of the statue to rest. A moment later, another old man selling the line came. The old man said to the man, "Don't do this, God is effective." The melon seller said, "How can God be in such a broken house!"
old man said, "There is indeed God here. Listen to me to tell you something. My house is right next to me, I got up to enjoy the cool air. I heard someone in the hall talk. I approached and eavesdropped. It turned out that an fox complained in front of God, and the one who sued another fox. The fox charmed a young man to steal his vitality. The young man was almost killed. The family set a trap and chased him with the bird gun . The fox ran to the home of the fox who complained. People set fire outside the cave, and all the foxes were killed. The one who caused trouble The fox fled instead. City God said: 'It is indeed a crime to blame you after causing trouble. Has your descendants killed anyone? 'The fox was silent for a while and said yes, City God asked how many people they killed, and replied that there could be dozens of people.
City God angrily said: 'I have killed dozens of people, and I have used dozens of people to fight against the numerology. Your descendants are full of evil deeds. God is fake in the fox. What else can I do to sue? 'After saying that the ghost soldiers stumble on the fox and then drove it out. You know, God is indeed here. '
The melon seller finished hearing this, sorted out his clothes, and apologized to the statue of the god.
The original author summarized: "There is no misfortune, and there is a reason for no false disaster, and the parties involved may not know it." I (a drop in the ocean) think that it is not completely correct to say this, there are innocent people. This story is meaningful to me. I lost a lot of money the first few days and was very angry. I comfort myself after reading this story. Maybe I got what I shouldn’t have gotten elsewhere, but I just don’t know it!
Someone is a friend of a fox spirit. One day, the fox came to tell me in a hurry: "I have a demon in my family, so I will temporarily live in the cemetery of Jun's family." Someone asked strangely: "I only heard that the fox is causing trouble, but I haven't heard that there are still things that can cause trouble on the fox. What kind of demon is that?" The fox said that the one who caused trouble was Tianhu , and its magical powers are unpredictable. Just like a fox, they cannot resist the Tianhu. Someone asked again, "Why are the same kind of people slaughtering each other?" The fox said, "What's strange about this? People are not powerful bullying the weak, smart fooling the stupid!" The original author concluded that things in the world are really changing in circles and changeable, and cannot be explained clearly by reason. The above story comes from " Yuewei Caotang Notes ". Author: Ji Xiaolan . The story is short and mainly reasoned. Let’s talk about two similar works by people in the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Mou
During the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang A man named Tang went to Wu. I became thirsty shortly after leaving the city, so I went to a hut beside the road to ask for water, and there was only a young woman sewing socks in the room. When the woman who was visiting Tang said, "There is no water at home, wait for a moment." The woman went out and came back with a can of water after a while.
After drinking the water, Tang looked around and found that there was no cooking utensils and stove in the room. So he asked, "Don't you usually make a fire to cook?" The woman said that the family was too poor and could only ask for a bite nearby. After saying that, I continued to sew, looking very hurried. Tang asked her why she was so anxious. The woman said, "My husband is Xue Liang. He is a hawker who travels from village to village. He has been married for ten years and has been together for many years. Tomorrow, my husband will pick me up and serve my parents-in-law, so he is busy." Tang teased her a little, but the woman did not respond and silenced her. Tang was very ashamed and left a pack of dry food after thanking him.
walked for more than ten miles, and suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten something important, so he went back to the city to get it. The next day, Tang embarked on the journey again. When he reached the city gate, a group of people carrying coffins blocked traffic. He stepped forward and asked, "Whose coffin?" Someone answered, "Xue Liang." Tang suddenly remembered that the woman's husband was also called Xue Liang yesterday, so he asked in detail. The man said, "Xue Liang is a hawker. His wife died after five years of marriage and was buried outside the city. Now Xue Liang is dead, and his brothers are preparing to bury the couple in their ancestral graves."
Tang was shocked and followed the team carrying the coffin to observe. After leaving the city, he really went to the place where he asked for water. Tang followed along the way, and there was no thatched hut, only a lonely grave.
Those people dug up the graves, and there was a pair of new socks and a pack of dry food on the coffin. Tang was both surprised and sad, and left there and moved forward as usual.
When we walked to Yangzhou , we met two groups of people who moved to the grave. The two cemeteries were less than a hundred steps apart. One of the owners was an old man. He sighed at the open coffin, and the servants laughed behind him. The owners of the other group were middle-aged men, holding shovels to hit the lid of the coffin and scolding.
Tang came forward to ask, and the old man said, "My surname is Wei, and I am the former Taihu Order. The coffin is my son, who has been buried for ten years. There is now a woman's embroidered shoes inside, and one missing from his shoes. The former Wei Duwei Jiang was moved there. He had a concubine buried here. After leaving office, he couldn't bear to abandon it and wanted to take the coffin back to his hometown. But a men's shoes were found in the coffin, and one of them was missing. It seems that this unfilial son and his concubine had an affair underground! "
Tang thought to himself after hearing this: The hawker's wife died for five years and was still thinking about serving her parents-in-law. The concubine of the Duwei had an affair with a ghost after her death. It's really amazing!
Donkeys
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a rich man named Zhang Gao in Chang'an . In his early years, he spent 20,000 yuan to buy a donkey and raised it for many years. This donkey was very tame. Zhang Gao rode it every time he went out.
Later, Zhang Gao died, and his son Zhang He was also preparing to ride the donkey when he went out to buy tableware. donkey refused to go out, and lay down directly after whipping. Zhang He was very angry and whipped hard again. The donkey suddenly said, "Why hit me? "Zhang He was shocked and reluctantly replied: "I spent 20,000 yuan on my house to buy you. If you refuse to leave, how can you not fight? "
Donkey said: "Your father has ridden me for more than ten years." I tell you that the human and the animal realm reincarnate each other, like a rotating wheel. I owed your father money in my previous life, so I reincarnated as a donkey to pay off my debts. I don't owe you, why ride me? If you ride me in this life, I will ride you again in reincarnation. When will the end of riding? Last night, my father and I calculated the accounts and owed him 1,500 yuan. If you sell me this amount, you will clear the amount of money! People who have no reason in their previous lives will not buy it. The King of Grain Store once owed me two thousand, and he would pay 1,500 yuan. ”
Zhang He’s mother heard this and rushed to the donkey and said, “My husband has ridden you for so long, you have suffered. We don’t want the remaining money, and we still have to raise it well and stop riding it. Is it OK? "The donkey didn't say anything, but just shook his head.
had no choice. Zhang He led the donkey to the market to sell it. Many people asked for the price but did not make a deal. Later, he was bought by a bearded man for 1,500 quota. He asked the man's surname and answered that his surname was Wang.
After a few days, Zhang He went to buy the donkey and asked someone. Wang Huzi said that it was raining for days and had never gone out. After raising it for 500 quota, the donkey died. The two stories above
are from " Continued Mysterious Record ". Turning into a donkey to repay the debt reminded me of an ancient joke. Someone died of debt. He met a creditor in the underworld and owed the other party twenty quota. Someone promised to become a chicken in the next life. When he met a person who owed two thousand quota, he promised to become a cow to repay. When he met a creditor who owed two hundred thousand quota, he promised to become a cow to repay. When he met a creditor who owed two hundred thousand quota, he said, "It's not enough to repay anything, I have to be your father in the next life! "Although it is a joke, it also has deep meaning. Parents' efforts to their children are free and spare no effort.
