Tianbao period in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Beiliu Village thirty miles east of Chang'an City, where an old man Cui lived.
Cui was a guest when he was young. When he took Gonggong from the old guest, the old guest warned him.
"You have to remember that you can visit this city casually, but you must not go to Longtan Bay, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Old Man Cui was young at the time. He did not take the old updater's words to heart, but he had never been to that place called Longtan Bay.
That night, he went to play the update as usual, and as he walked, he found a man lying on the ground.
Old Man Cui found that the man had no breath, but he saw a burden next to him. When I opened
, I frightened Old Man Cui. It was full of money inside!
What else can he make with this money? Just enjoy your happiness at home in the future!
Old Man Cui saw that there was no one around, so he took the money back home.
On the second day, Zhang Yuanwai in the city died. The burden next to him disappeared. Not only did there be money, but there was also evidence of catching the murderer.
Old Man Cui is guilty of being a thief. Although the money is in his hands, he doesn’t dare to spend an copper , for fear that others will come to him.
Sometimes the more you fear, the more you will be. Old Man Cui is having a meal at home.
suddenly broke into an old cow from nowhere, and it headed straight to the place where the silver was hiding.
After taking the silver, Lao Niu glanced at him and then left.
Old Man Cui was still scared. When she looked back at her mother, she had already fallen to the ground.
Just as the old bull broke in, Cui's mother choked on rice and died without getting up.
Old Man Cui didn't expect that he would kill his mother because of his temporary greed for money. He really regretted it.
A few days later, the government found the murderer through the evidence in the baggage, and the people applauded.
Later, a Taoist priest said, "This old cow came to report to Mr. Zhang's kindness, and your mother's death was also an accident."
"Now you still owe Mr. Zhang, you must repay it."
You have to bear the trouble you caused by yourself. Old Man Cui understands this truth.
Taoist priest told him that Mr. Zhang had a son who was ill in bed all year round.
Zhang Yuanwai has spent a lot of effort to treat his son over the years, but he just didn't improve.
If Old Man Cui cures his son, then their grudges will be written off.
Old Man Cui agreed, but the Taoist priest's next words made him embarrassed.
To cure Zhang Yuanwai's son's illness, you must find a plant called Crimson Pearl Grass.
And the Crimson Pearl Grass grows in Longtan Bay, and that place is on the ground where the old man refused to let him step on. Old Man Cui hesitated.
However, he still remembered Lao Niu's incident that day, and Old Man Cui decided not to owe Zhang Yuanwai anymore.
So he plucked up his courage and came to Longtan Bay despite the old anti-husband's warning.
It's very dark here, and Old Man Cui can only walk with a lantern.
He finally saw the Crimson Pearl Grass. Just when he was about to pull it out, he found a giant figure appeared in front of him.
Old Man Cui was so scared that he ran away, and the divine beast kept chasing him.
The divine beast chased old man Cui, and it slapped old man Cui to the ground, and it also let out a heart-wrenching roar.
What is strange is that the divine beast has no intention of hurting him. Old Man Cui suddenly saw a sword inserted into the divine beast.
So old man Cui asked, "Do you want me to help you pull the sword down?"
but the divine beast nodded immediately, and couldn't wait.
Old Man Cui pulled out the sword and helped the divine beast to treat the wound.
Just as he was about to get up, the divine beast spoke: "Thank you for your help, I will not forget your kindness."
The divine beast was originally Qilin . It helps people attract wealth and treasures, and can be said to be a symbol of auspiciousness.
Kilin is also willing to interact with humans until one day meets a man.
A man and Qilin played together all day, and Qilin regarded him as a good friend.
Qilin saw that the man was wearing a torn clothes, so he pulled out his scales and gave them to the man.
The scales of the unicorn can be turned into gold, and the man has become a rich man from then on.
But the human heart is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant. When a man has gold, he wants to have more gold.
Qilin flatly refused after seeing the man's intention. He could not let the man get something for nothing.
Unexpectedly, the man took advantage of Qilin's trust and put medicine in the water that Qilin drank.
Qilin felt weak all over and asked the man to pull out all his scales.
The man was afraid that the Qilin would chase him, so he inserted another sword into his body, and the Qilin could only sink deep into Longtan Bay and couldn't get out.
Everyone who came before was scared away by it, only Old Man Cui noticed something strange and helped him.
Qilin said: "Thank you for your life-saving grace. If you don't have anything else to give you, I'll give you a pair of ears for the wind!"
"You can hear anything you want to hear, and you won't be blinded by bad people from now on."
From that day on, Old Man Cui has ears for the wind. has no airtight wall for him.
He gave the red pearl grass to Zhang Yuanwai's son, and his body really became healthy.
Old Man Cui dared not use his time to make money, but it did bring a lot of convenience to himself.
The chicken raised by Cui's old man's house was lost. He heard his neighbor and his wife say, "I stole a chicken from Cui's old man's house. Let's stew it tonight!"
Cui did not make any statement. He knew that the neighbor's behavior was misbehaving, so he would do less to talk to him from now on.
Sure enough, the neighbors cheated the villagers of a large sum of money in the name of making money and disappeared without a trace.
Many villagers said enviously: "We were all cheated, only Old Man Cui was not optimistic from the beginning."
Old Man Cui just smiled. He was not so powerful, thanks to Shunfeng's ears.
This flash has been more than 20 years, and Old Man Cui is old, and his physical strength is not as good as before.
Cui Haoyu, the son of old man Cui, also became a big guy.
Old Man Cui should have lived his life, but he has an endless heart to worry about.
Because Cui Haoyu is ignorant and eats, drinks and has fun with his friends all day, which makes Old Man Cui very anxious.
Old Man Cui advised his son more than once: "You go find a businessman to do a businessman, and you're happy even if you earn a coin for your father!"
How could Cui Haoyu do dirty and tiring work? He turned a deaf ear to his father's words.
One day he drank with a friend, but his friend said, "This is the last time we both have drunk. We will not work together in the future."
It turned out that my friend's father paid him to do business in another place. He was considered a businessman in the future. How could he still interact with these idle people?
Cui Haoyu was very angry after hearing what his friend said. He didn't expect that the friends he had made were so realistic.
He didn't believe it if he didn't steam steamed buns, and he couldn't make any sense of the world with himself.
Cui Hao also asked his father for 200 taels of silver when he got home. He wanted to open a shop in the city.
Old Man Cui worked as a husband for many years and had a good monthly salary. Later, when he was old, he could only farm at home.
Even if you give him all the money from the whole family, it is not enough for Cui Haoyu to buy a shop in the city.
Cui Haoyu got furious when he found out. He felt that his father was really useless.
"How can my friend's father pay for his son to do business? Why can't you do it if you are the same father?"
"If you don't want to raise money for me, then I will not do anything in the future!"
After saying that, Cui Haoyu lay on the bed without moving, and his family members were rejected by him when they greeted him for dinner.
Old Man Cui was very anxious. He was just such a son. If he really had any problems, what should he do?
Old Man Cui didn't sleep all night, and later he wanted to go and decided to use his Shunfeng ear to help his son raise money.
It’s a coincidence that Old Man Cui quickly found a way to make money.
The magistrate's son was kidnapped by bandits, and he still had no news for 7 days.
This made the magistrate very anxious. He sent people to search everywhere, but he still couldn't see his son.
So he issued a reward, and as long as someone could help him find his son, he would be willing to pay 100 taels of silver.
Old Man Cui's eyes lit up. He could help, so he volunteered to unveil the notice.
Old Man Cui listened attentively and finally heard the bandits' voice in a noisy voice.
The bandits' words reached the ears of Old Man Cui, and based on their information, Old Man Cui pieced together their locations.
The child is in the mountain village of Huazi Mountain, and now he has no life worries for the time being, but he just needs to rescue the child quickly.
Under the guidance of Old Man Cui, the officers and soldiers found the magistrate's son and took down the bandits in one fell swoop.
The magistrate was very happy. After thanking Mr. Cui, he gave him 100 taels of silver.
Old Man Cui gave all the money to his son, and Cui Haoyu opened a grocery store in the city.
At the same time, he also learned that his father had the ability to be happy with the wind. Cui Haoyu said, "Father, you might as well make money with this. It's no faster than doing business."
Old Man Cui shook his head: "Qilin told me at the beginning that we should not be too greedy in life. I am very satisfied with life now."
In fact, what Mr. Cui did not tell his son was that he had paid the price for his greed.
Cui Haoyu really doesn’t understand his father, so who would think that he earns too much money?
However, with the shop, he makes people feel refreshed when they are happy, and he no longer cares about his father's affairs.
Cui Haoyu had never done business, and soon the business fell into trouble.
But his father refused to make money, which made him suddenly not know what to do.
He drank with his friend Tang San , and accidentally told him what his father had to say.
And he also said, "My father is too old-fashioned. As long as he can make money, it's fine, but he refuses, which really wastes his skills."
This speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Tang San thinks this is a chance to get rich, but he doesn't say it.
Old Man Cui is still taking care of crops in the fields, and there will be a bumper harvest in a few days. Old Man Cui is very happy.
However, there is one thing that makes him worry, that is, there are many villagers' land in the next village being patronized by thieves, and the harvest is greatly reduced.
So old man Cui built a shed next to the farmland, and he protected these crops day and night.
That night, old man Cui tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he got up and admired the moonlight.
Just as he was feeling happy, he suddenly heard someone talking.
Old Man Cui was puzzled, who wouldn’t sleep at night and talk in the ground!
In fact, ordinary people cannot hear the sound, but Old Man Cui has the wind, so he can naturally hear it clearly.
After listening for a long time, Old Man Cui realized that the man who was talking was a ghost messenger.
and the one who talked to him was a yellow oriole, which was very interesting.
This oriole is also of great origin. It protects a batch of treasures and someone will come to grab the treasure next month.
However, this group of people will definitely fail, and some people will even die there, and the person who died was Cui Haoyu, the son of Old Man Cui.
The ghost messenger said: "This old man Cui has always been indulging his son, and his son is unrestrained. Because of his son's words after drinking, both father and son may be unable to save their lives!"
When the old man Cui heard this, he was immediately scared. Aren't the two people he and his son?
Guicha said, "If they want their father and son to be safe, his son must be able to withstand the temptation, otherwise no one can save him." After
, Guichacha's voice disappeared, leaving only Old Man Cui in a daze.
On the 2nd day, Old Man Cui found his son and hurriedly asked his son what was going on.
Cui Haoyu was about to find Old Man Cui, so he hurriedly told his father about the matter.
It turns out that Tang San knew that Old Man Cui had a good time, and he felt that it would be a pity to make a fortune without taking advantage of it.
So he took the initiative to find Cui Haoyu and wanted to invite him to make a fortune together.
It is said that a batch of treasures have been buried deep in the mountains, and a oriole is waiting for them.
On the fifth day of the October 10th, the oriole will sing a wonderful voice.
Most people cannot hear it, but they believe that Old Man Cui can hear it with his downwind ears.
Tang San said: "That's an amazing treasure. What's wrong with having this money?"
Old Man Cui knew that the ghost officer said everything was true, so he told his son what he heard that day.
also told him about the fact that he stole money and killed his mother when he was young.
Finally, he said to Cui Haoyu earnestly: "Peace is a blessing, don't be too greedy in life."
Cui Haoyu was also surprised after hearing his father's words. He did not expect his father to use his lesson to persuade him.
thought for a while, and Cui Haoyu said, "Father, I listen to you this time."
Cui Haoyu politely rejected Tang San's request. Both the father and son thought they would be safe, but they did not expect that Tang San would never give up.
Tang San took advantage of the rest of the father and son and took his friends to kidnap the father and son to the mountain.
When the knife was placed on the necks of two people, Old Man Cui and Haoyu both scared him out.
Tang San said: "If you can't find the treasure, I will kill you. You can do it yourself!"
A group of people were wandering around the mountains, and suddenly the old man Cui heard the sound of the oriole singing.
So he followed the sound and looked for everyone until he saw a cave with a gate, where there was undoubtedly a treasure hidden.
Tang San and his friends exclaimed happily: "It's this place, we're rich!"
said as everyone rescued them and picked up the long stick and hit the gate of the cave with gravity. No one noticed the old man Cui and his son. Old man Cui took this opportunity to pull his son to run down the mountain.
When I saw a village, the father and son finally stopped and they were saved.
Old Man Cui told the government the matter, and the government went up the mountain to capture Tang San and others.
Surprisingly, they all died, and they were killed by gold, silver and jewelry.
After Tang San knocked open the door, they saw countless treasures. Everyone was very happy and everyone was ready to move the treasure back to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a large amount of silver fell from the sky very quickly, and before they could react, they smashed everyone into it.
At this time, the oriole flew out, and it smiled and said, "How can you take away the treasures here?"
However, the ghost officer was wrong. The Cui family father and son did not come here because of greed. It seems that no matter how powerful the ghost officer is, there will be a chance to make mistakes!
You must laugh at him tomorrow!
Old Man Cui learned about the incident and was very glad that he was not influenced by money.
He stepped into Longtan Bay again and found the Qilin he had saved at the beginning. He said that he did not want to have a smooth wind.
Qilin nodded: "You did not use this ability to make money, which is worthy of praise.
"Since you don't want to have Qianli, then I will give you food and clothing for the rest of your life! "
Old Man Cui got a lot of gold from Qilin, and he happily shared his joy with his son.
This is because he was willing to plant flowers but not bloom, and he was unwilling to plant willows and willows. Old Man Cui not only saved him and his son, but also gained a lot.
From that day on, Old Man Cui lived a happy and happy life with his son until he died in his sleep.
Summary: He was uneasy with ill-gotten wealth, and was uneasy with flowers, and would cause trouble. After understanding this truth It's too late to regret.
Only money you get openly can live a safe life, so don't let greed blind you.
Don't stretch out your hands for others' money, there will be disaster if you feel guilty; gold, silver and treasures are charming, and the bamboo basket is empty.
