Tang Dynasty The second emperor was Tang Taizong Li Shimin. He was one of the great emperors in Chinese history. He not only helped his father Li Yuan to open up Tang , but also after becoming the emperor, he also created a relatively peaceful, stable and peaceful empire and prosperity. This was the rule of Zhenguan.
After the Xuanwu Gate mutiny, Li Shimin killed the prince Li Jiancheng and the King of Qi Li Yuanji and others, but Li Shimin did not kill them all. At least he also included the King of Qi's wife Yang Fei in his harem.
Later, Li Shimin and Concubine Yang also gave birth to a child named Li Ming , who is Li Shimin's 14th son. Li Ming was later adopted by Li Shimin to Li Yuanji, and Li Ming, as Li Yuanji's son, inherited the incense of Li Yuanji.
Although Li Ming was born to Concubine Yang, he was also Li Shimin's son, so Li Shimin later named him Cao Wang . During the fifth dynasty, King Cao was Li Gao . Li Gao was demoted to Hengzhou for writing a letter to the emperor and was appointed as the governor. The story of this article happened when Li Gao was the governor of Hengzhou.
At that time, there was a alchemist in Hengzhou who was very capable, so Li Gao accepted him and often took him to hunt.
One day, Li Gao took everyone to hunt in the mountains as usual. Soon, they saw more than a dozen deer, so they surrounded them. Soon, the deer fell into the siege and could not run away.
However, after everyone gathered the encirclement, they found that the dozen deer suddenly disappeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
Li Gao was puzzled and asked Zhang Shanren what was going on.
Zhang Shanren calculated and said, "This is a master who caused trouble. He hid all the deer and I can find him."
So, Zhang Shanren wanted to have a basin of water, and then he started chanting spells. Soon a Taoist priest appeared in the water. The Taoist priest was only an inch long, with a bag on his back and walking slowly with a cane.
Everyone thought it was magical when they saw it.
Zhang Shanren took out a needle from his body and stabbed the Taoist priest's left leg. The Taoist priest's left leg immediately became limp and walked around.
After doing this, Zhang Shanren said to Cao Wang Li Gao: "Okay, he can't walk fast now. He is only more than ten miles away from us now, we can catch up with him!"
Zhang Shanren pointed to the north and asked everyone to chase him. Li Gao led everyone to chase after him for more than ten miles, and indeed caught up with the Taoist priest. This Taoist priest was limping and walking with an inch of long Taoist priest in the water they saw.
Li Gao took out his identity as a prince and was very arrogant, so he asked the Taoist priest to come over. When the Taoist heard this, he walked forward with a smile.
After seeing this, Zhang Shanren quickly said to Li Gao: "Prince, don't be angry. Please treat him with courtesy. Never use the prince's identity to suppress it, otherwise you will cause trouble!"
Taoist priest arrived, and Li Gao asked him where the group of deer were.
Taoist priest replied: "The deer did not disappear. I just saw the deer eating grass for no reason. Suddenly they were dying. I felt pity in my heart, so I hid them. However, I knew the prince had to ask me, so I didn't let them go. Now they are all on the other side of the mountain."
Li Gao was worried that he would lie, so he asked his troops to go and see. After his troops went down, they came back soon and said that the deer were hiding on another hillside and did not move.
Li Gao asked the Taoist again: "What's wrong with your leg?"
Taoist said: "My leg has always been normal, but as I was walking just now, I was less than two miles away, and suddenly it hurts so much, as if I had been stabbed by a needle, and then that's it."
Zhang Shanren was always behind the team, and Li Gao asked him to come out and meet the Taoist. After the two of them looked at it, they actually met him. Zhang Shanren bowed to him, and the Taoist priest also returned the greeting. Zhang Shanren cast a spell secretly, and at this moment, the Taoist priest's legs were also getting better.
Zhang Shanren introduced that this Taoist priest was from Lianshan Temple in Chenzhou, and his surname was Hou and his name was Hou Sheng. Li Gao felt that nothing was wrong, so he let the Taoist priest go and continued to hunt.Behind
, after the Taoist priest left, Li Gao asked Zhang Shanren: "He is just a Taoist priest. What is he worth compared to me? Why did sir ask me to treat him with courtesy? According to my king's wishes, since he hid those deer, I insisted on punishing him well to let him know how powerful I am!"
"The prince doesn't know that there are many masters in this world. They don't seem to be anything on the surface, but they are actually He is very capable in fact. He is as young as the ability to hide deer just now, and is as great as he can go against the heavens and change his destiny. He reaches the thirty-sixth level of heavenly palace, steals the soul-resurrender pill, tampers with the 18th level of hell, and tampers with the book of life and death. It can almost be said that he is omnipotent. If he offends them, it is easy to get revenge. Isn’t it great to treat people with courtesy and respect wise men? Why can’t you get along with them?”
Li Gao felt it makes sense and couldn’t help but nod.
Li Gao did not understand the power of this Taoist priest, but someone had experienced it and almost lost his life.
It turned out that not long after, a merchant passed by Chenzhou and stayed in Lianshan Temple where Hou Sheng was. He tied the horse to the door of the Taoist temple, but the horse pulled a lot of shit at the door. After the Taoist priest inside discovered it, he said a few words to the merchant.
The merchant had made mistakes first, but did not correct them. Instead, he scolded the Taoist priest. In the end, he scolded the entire Taoist priest in Lianshan Temple and then left. Hou Sheng heard it and remembered it in his heart.
Ten days later, the merchant met Zhang Shanren. After seeing his expression, Zhang Shanren said seriously: "I think you are going to have a disaster. Have you offended someone recently?"
merchant thought for a while and said: "I haven't done business recently and have not contacted people much. How could I offend people? Unless... unless... unless I quarreled with those bulls at the door of the Taoist temple before and offended them."
as he said, the merchant told the story of the quarrel with the Taoist priest.
Zhang Shanren said: "Those Taoists are not simple. There is a Hou Sheng who is even better, but he is not that broad-minded. If you offend him, no wonder there will be disasters. In this way, you should apologize quickly. Regardless of whether they listen or not, you must apologize sincerely. After coming back, I will teach you how to avoid disasters."
The merchant knew Zhang Shanren's name and believed his words. He hurried to Lianshanguan and apologized sincerely. After
came back, Zhang Shanren told him: "This time, you encountered the disaster of thunder and shock. Tonight, you cut a piece of cypress wood, just like you, put it on the bed, and cover it with a quilt. You live in another room yourself, use jujube wood as seven nails, and nail it to the ground according to the shape of Beidou Seven Stars , and you have to sleep next to the second nail. Only in this way can you avoid disaster." The merchant of
was shocked after hearing this. He did as Zhang Shanren said, and immediately went to find cypress and zaomu to make nails. He couldn't even sleep when he was sleeping in the inn in the middle of the night.
At night, the originally clear sky suddenly saw strong winds and heavy rains, and thunder and lightning shocks. Soon, a lightning strikes the merchant's house. The merchant hid in another room, next to the second nail.
The lightning did not seem to hit the target, and once again hit the room next to it. It took several times before the lightning left.
After dawn, the merchant saw that the cypress tree had been smashed. The merchant was shocked and went to Lianshan Temple again, kowtowed to the Taoist priest and admitted his mistake. He knelt for a long time before the Taoist priest named Housheng agreed to forgive him.
The merchant went to thank Zhang Shanren again. Zhang Shanren said, "The ancients said that people should not be careless. Don't underestimate anyone or insult him. Don't talk about people, even cats, dogs, snakes and foxes, if you provoke them for no reason, they may bite you. So, don't look down on others easily and insult others. Otherwise, you may not know how to die."
merchant thanked Zhang Shanren and gave him a lot of money, and never dared to bully people again.
