Mingham 1Daming In the 2nd year of Longqing html, a prison student in Yunnan named Wang Mingqi, who had always been ambitious. In order to show his ambitions, he left his family and went to the capital. Unexpectedly, he fell seriously ill halfway and died in Xupu County, Hunan Province. Because he was thousands of miles apart, his family had no news about him.
He has a daughter and two sons. The eldest son is named Wang Yue. He was only five or six years old when he died of illness. When he was about 10 years old, he wanted to go north to find his father. His mother felt that he was too young and did not allow him to go.
Wang Yue grew up to 17 years old and told his mother that he must go to find his father. Wang's mother knew in her heart that her husband had not come back for so many years, and that if his son could bring his bones back, it would be considered as letting his husband return to his hometown.
Wang's mother found a way to raise dozens of taels of silver and told her son: "Son, you are still young, the capital is thousands of miles away, and I am really worried about my mother. If you can see your father, let him come back quickly, everyone in the family is looking forward to him."
Wang Yue's sister is three years older than him and his younger brother is two years younger. After listening to his mother's instructions, he cried and said goodbye to his sister and brother, asking them to serve his mother well. He will definitely come back within half a year.
Wang Yue walked north with dry food. When he reached Chenlong Pass in Xupu, Hunan, he fell ill in a hotel. Fortunately, he was not very ill, and after taking a few doses of medicine, his condition stabilized.
That day, he went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. A thin and shriveled old man grabbed him and said, "I see that you are in a bad mood. I'm afraid you won't live long. If you are willing to listen to me, you may be able to save your life."
Most people will definitely be furious when they hear this, but Wang Yue felt that the old man is extraordinary and asked him how he saw it.
The old man asked, "I think you are not a local. Let me first tell me why you came here?"
Wang Yue truthfully told his name, hometown, and the reason for coming here. After hearing this, the old man sighed, "It seems that God's will. I know your father Wang Qi. He died of illness ten years ago. I was next to him."
Wang Yue was mentally prepared, but now he heard that his father is dead, he still couldn't accept it. He cried bitterly and pulled the old man to ask where his father was buried.
The old man said, "When your father died, the magistrate thought that he was a prison student, so he bought a coffin for him, but he was not buried. The coffin is still parked in the Shanjiao Land Temple. Hurry up and find the temple owner and let your father be buried in the soil.
After you bury your father, you must come to me. There are several thatched huts in the woods five miles away to the west, and I will live there. Then I will tell you how to escape this disaster."
After the old man said that, he comforted him a few more words and then left slowly.
Wang Yue didn't care about his illness at this time, so he inquired all the way to the Land Temple and saw one of the coffins that reads: The coffin of Wang Junqi, a student in Yunnan.
Wang Yue was heartbroken when he saw his father's coffin and almost fainted.
After recovering from his sanity, Wang Yue found the temple owner and said he wanted to put his father in peace. The temple owner saw that he was not old and was alone, so he wanted to blackmail money, so he made things difficult for him.
Wang Yue spent all the money he brought with him, and in desperation, he sold his luggage and clothes, and bought a small piece of land, buried his father, and then built a shack next to the tomb to keep his soul for his father.
Because all the money on her body was spent, Wang Yue had all the three meals a day became a problem. When he was desperate, he suddenly remembered what the old man said before.
He followed the old man's words and looked west for seven or eight miles. Sure enough, he saw several thatched huts in the woods, with straw curtains hanging on the door and a circle of wooden fences around them.
Wang Yue was about to knock on the door when the door opened. The old man walked out of the house with a crutch and tremblingly. Seeing him wearing tattered clothes, he asked, "Why have you been so depressed after a few days?"
Wang Yue saw the old man, and his grievances for many days finally broke out. He couldn't help crying, "I am wandering in a foreign land and have no relatives, and I have been repeatedly troubled by others. Only my father-in-law sees me pitiful and is willing to help me. My father has already entered I am safe, thank my father for my advice. I will never forget my great kindness."
The old man helped him up and said, "Seeing that you are so filial, it is a good material. If you are willing to follow me, you will definitely make great achievements in the future, but you are afraid that you will not be strong."
Wang Yue thought to himself that he would stay with the green mountains and not be afraid of not having firewood. Now he is not full of food. It is better to follow my father first. Maybe he will have a chance to bring his father's body back to his hometown for burial in the future.
Wang Yuena bowed and said, "My father is not here, my mother is old and weak, I am in a foreign land and have nowhere to go. No matter what kind of test, I can accept it and never retreat."
The old man nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay, then I'll feel at ease."
The old man took him into the house, gave him food, and asked him to change his clothes.
The next day, the old man took Wang Yue to the back of the yard and entered a pit, which was pitch black inside. After clicking to light , the old man asked him to sit on a thin ball in the middle.
The old man picked up his beard and said, "The ancients and the present are like birds of birds of feathers. Only the adults can immortalize, and they must cultivate but not woven, and maintain grass and houses, and when autumn does not get them, only birds and feed them, and the chickens are cut off their tails, and they are afraid of their sacrifice. You should carefully consider these words here, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
After the old man left, Wang Yue sat on the cushion and meditated in meditation. He had about a meal. He felt that the spiritual platform was clear and his body seemed to float up.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Yue felt as if he was walking in the boundless wilderness. Suddenly, a man came towards him, with white hair, wrapped in a red headscarf, a clear face, eyes as big as a lamp, a red beard, riding a white horse. After seeing Wang Yue, he immediately turned over and dismounted, saluted respectfully, and said, “The Emperor of Ren Sheng ordered me to ask the young master to take office immediately.”
Wang Yue was very surprised and asked, "What's the responsibility?"
A man said, "The Emperor Rensheng has appointed the young master as the local city god."
Wang Yue said, "I still have an old mother in my family that needs support, please forgive me for not being able to obey."
A man said, "The young master has already been in the immortal class, and from then on, you can live forever, and there is also What can't be given up? "
But Wang Yue disagreed and said with a sad expression: "My father died in a foreign land, and my mother is still waiting for news at home. How can I leave my parents and brothers behind in pursuit of the joy of gods? "
The person who came to laugh and said: "Young master is a filial son, and I am obsessed with the two elders. How dare the villain urge me? The villain is actually the servant of the young master's family. I come to invite the young master at the order of my master. You should go with me quickly."
Wang Yue said, "You are my servant. Why have I never seen you? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
The visitor said, "It's absolutely impossible. The master is in a hurry to see the young master, so I'll pick you up."
Wang Yue hesitated and refused to leave. The visitor was impatient, so he stepped forward and grabbed him, put him on the horse's back, and rode on the horse and ran forward.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Yue had been taken to a place by him, and then the horse jumped forward, and the man and the horse disappeared. Before Wang Yue understood what was going on, he felt like he had fallen into the haystack and was dizzy.
At this moment, a group of beasts and pythons surrounded Wang Yue. He was very frightened and thought, it’s nothing if I die, but I haven’t brought my father back to my hometown. My mother needs support at home, my sister has not yet married, and my younger brother is still young. What should they do if I die?
Wang Yue thought this way, and the beasts and pythons suddenly dispersed one after another. A carriage drove from the southwest, with a grand atmosphere, followed by a large group of followers, like a prince and nobleman passing by.
Wang Yue lay in the woods and looked at it for a long time. The car was getting closer and closer. He saw that the big car was as wide as a room, with four or five people sitting on it.
The car slowly stopped after approaching. A woman on the top suddenly shouted loudly: "The little man on the roadside, are you Wang Yue from Yunnan?"
This shout surprised Wang Yue because the voice was very familiar. When you look closely, you were even more shocked. The ones sitting in the car were the old mother, sister and younger brother, and the old wet nurse who took care of him since childhood.
He didn't have time to think too much, so he rushed to the car and knelt down for his mother.
Mother helped him and said, "It's indeed my Yue'er. Don't be sad. Our family has finally reunited. When your father was alive, he was always loyal and trustworthy. Now he has the mercy of the Jade Emperor. He named him the land god of Chenlong Pass . He sent someone to bring me and your sister and brother. Unexpectedly, he met you here. Judging from your appearance, you must have suffered a lot. Get in the car and go to see your father with us."
Wang Yue was overjoyed after hearing this and immediately got in the car. He hugged his sister and brother and cried bitterly, asked this and that, and asked the old wet nurse why he had come.
Mother said, "She has been in our family for many years, and has always worked hard and has no other intentions, so she brought her."
The family was having sex with each other, and it didn't take long to report that it had arrived.
Wang Yue and his mother lifted the curtain and saw a large group of old men standing on both sides, with yellow hair on their backs, guards carrying bows and arrows, and Yaksha holding a spear. The mother and son were very scared when they saw it.
They soon came to a huge mansion, and dozens of maids and servants knelt in front of the door and kowtowed.
The mother and son got out of the car and immediately heard someone shouting. Then the strings played in unison. A few lines of women dressed in maids stood on both sides. A man wearing a lumber scarf and a crane cloak walked out of the yard.
This man came to the front and Wang Yue looked carefully and found that it was the old man who took him in.
Wang Yueda was puzzled. After seeing the old man, his mother immediately walked up, hugged the old man, and cried in a mess.
Sister cried and said to Wang Yue: "Don't you remember, this is our father."
Wang Yue never thought that the person who had been helping him was his biological father Wang Qi.
The father took the mother and son into the room, looked at Wang Yue with relief, and said, "My son is extremely filial and has always been thinking about me and your mother. He is unwilling to do it for a god, so I can only show my spirit."
The father continued, "You can go back now, your mother and sister and brother have ended their lives, and now your soul has returned to the underworld, only you have a life of life. It's not over yet, so you can't stay here for a long time. But forty years, I will pick you up, and our family will be reunited by then."
Wang Yue was unwilling to leave, and he held his parents' clothes and refused to let go. His mother patted his back gently and said, "I will see you again in forty years, and Yue'er doesn't have to be sad."
Sister and brother were also persuading him, but he was still unwilling to leave.
The father suddenly changed his face and scolded loudly, "Why don't you even listen to your parents' words? Do you want to disobey and be unfilial? Go quickly, go quickly!"
The father asked Yasha to pull Wang Yue out. He grabbed the door of the house and refused to let go. He looked at his mother and cried, "The child has gone through a lot of hardships to see his father and mother. How can he just leave like this?"
The father suddenly rushed forward and kicked Wang Yue. He felt a huge pain in his body. He quickly let go and woke up suddenly.
It turned out to be a dream. He looked around and found that he was still in the pit of earth.
He was so scared that he sweated profusely. After a while, he recovered and slowly walked out of the pit. He found that the hut had turned into nothing, and only the warm sunshine was shining on his body.
He wandered around for a long time, remembering the dream that his mother and sister and brother had died of a disease, and his heart was cut.
Wang Yue walked forward aimlessly, walked a few miles, looked up, and walked to the land temple where his father's coffin was parked before.
At this time, he was hungry and wanted to ask for a meal. After entering, he found that there were people gathered in it, and there were various sacrifices placed in front of the common gods of the land.
Wang Yue didn't know what was going on. He went in to ask the temple master for the situation, but found that there were many people standing in the house. The temple master was lying on the bed motionless, dead, and his body was already smelly.
He quickly ran out, and suddenly a wizard guarding the temple hugged him and shouted loudly, "It turns out that the eldest son is here."
The wizard called out everyone in the temple and introduced, "This is the eldest son of the new land. Come here to find relatives."
Wang Yue didn't understand why, the wizard said that the day before yesterday, the temple owner of the Land Temple had a dream in the middle of the night before, dreaming that the Yunnan supervisor Wang Qisheng became the Land God. The temple owner brought people to greet him. The new god said that he cheated the son's money and beat him up again.
After the temple owner woke up, he found that his legs were swollen. He told everyone that he usually cheated and harmed others. He died within three days.
The villagers thought the Land Lord was too effective, so they paid for him to shape the golden body, and instructed the wizards to worship every day and not to slack off.
Then the Tudigong surrendered another oracle, saying that the eldest son's surname is Wang and his name is Yue, seventeen years old, he is extremely filial. He just met Tudigong and would come back soon, and everyone is waiting here.
Wang Yue was shocked when he heard this. The villagers competed for the eldest son of the Land Lord, bathed and changed his clothes for him, and invited him to his home to serve meals.
When the officials at Chenlong Pass found out, they were worried that they would cause trouble and invited him into the yamen, respectfully advised him to return to Yunnan, and were willing to pay for his journey.
Wang Yue also missed his mother very much and immediately came out of seclusion overnight.
After returning home, Wang Yue found that the thatched hut at home had collapsed and was full of weeds. He quickly inquired with his neighbors and found out that his mother, sister and brother, and the old wet nurse had all died of the disease two months ago.
Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Yue was still heartbroken when he saw his family's coffin and almost fainted.
Not long after, Wang Yue collected silver and brought the coffin of his mother, sister, younger brother, and old wet nurse to 月 and buried with his father. Everyone in Xupu County knew that he was the son of the Tudigong, and respected him like a god. He helped him build a house nearby to let him keep a soul for his family.
Later, Wang Yue settled down in 月 , got married and had children, and was devoted to farming, and no longer embarked on the official career.
One night after 40 years, Wang Yue met his younger brother again. The next morning he asked his family to arrange the funeral, and he died in vain three days later.
Their family can finally be reunited.
