In ancient times, there was a cattle killer named Peng Dalang in Lingnan, Guangdong. He was kind-hearted and would always give him two taels more when he encountered poor families buying meat.
Villagers all laughed at others for being too stupid, saying that the world is not peaceful now, money is not easy to make, saving money to marry a wife is the right way. Peng Dalang just smiled honestly about this, saying that there is no hurry to marry a wife, and everything goes with the flow.
Peng Dalang has been an orphan since he was a child and was adopted by Uncle Zhu, a cow killer in the village.
Therefore, Peng Dalang knows how to be grateful. He is not only very filial to his adoptive father, Uncle Zhu, but also feels pity when encountering poor families and do his best to help.
Gradually, people call Peng Dalang a good man.
On a day, Peng Dalang returned from selling meat, it was already evening.
He was worried that his adoptive father, who was unable to move, would starve, so he decided to take a small path.
The road is deserted and there are several chaotic graves. Peng Dalang is brave and not afraid.
Halfway through, Peng Dalang saw a new grave collapse from a distance.
is now plum rain season, with continuous rain. If the newly built grave is not compacted, it will easily collapse when it encounters rainy seasons.
The kind-hearted Peng Dalang didn't care about being tired from rushing to the road, and started to work with a butcher's knife as a hoe.
A few years ago, he and his adoptive father learned a period of brickwork and knew how to do geotechnical work. In less than half an hour, he repaired the collapsed grave.
After finishing work, Peng Dalang's clothes were soaked. Although he was very tired, he felt very comfortable.
When he was about to leave, an old woman with a hunched back walked in front of him.
The old woman walked lightly, and Peng Dalang secretly cried in his heart that he had met a ghost tonight.
Peng Dalang hurriedly took a few steps back. Who knew that the old woman was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, she came to him and said in a vain, "Don't be afraid of a hero, my old body will not harm you."
After saying that, the old woman bowed to Peng Dalang: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I won't even have a stable home."
Hearing this, Peng Dalang breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Auntie, you are polite."
"You little baby are good-natured, and you are grateful to me, and I will give you a butcher knife." After that, the old woman took out a butcher knife with a faint light from her arms and handed it to Peng Dalang.
Peng Dalang has naturally had a certain degree of vision in recent years. He could see at a glance that the butcher's knife was extraordinary and hurriedly thanked him.
"The old man in the family is a butcher. This butcher knife has been with him for decades and has become spiritual. In the future, you don't have to be afraid of the little ghosts when you walk along the night with this butcher knife. However, I have to remind you that you should do more good deeds in the future and do not have bad thoughts."
Peng Dalang hurriedly replied, "Auntie, please rest assured, I will do more good deeds in the future."
After saying that, a sneer appeared on the corner of the old woman's mouth, and soon she disappeared.
Peng Dalang put away the butcher knife and kept rushing home.
When he returned home, the worried old man Zhu thought something had happened to his godson, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he came back safely.
Peng Dalang talked to his adoptive father about what happened halfway. Old Man Zhu was shocked. He took the butcher knife and looked carefully, praised it repeatedly, and said, "Dalang, this butcher knife is of great value. You must keep it well. Maybe it will be smooth in the future and you will have no worries about food and clothing from now on."
Peng Dalang smiled and said, "Godfather, this is just a butcher knife, how can you say so magical."
At night, Peng Dalang had a dream.
In the dream, the old woman gave him a golden light flashed, and suddenly, a young and beautiful woman walked out of it.
The woman looked at Peng Dalang with affectionate eyes and said shyly: "Master, the little girl's jade bead is the soul of the knife."
"Soul of the weapon?" Peng Dalang was shocked.
Yuzhu explained: "It is something that the former master has used for a long time. He was too obsessed with death and kept a wisp of soul on it, which will not dissipate for a long time."
Peng Dalang was amazed when he heard this, and he could not imagine that there was such a thing in this world.
"Master, but Yuzhu has just been born, and her body is fragile and needs to be nourished by her master's yang energy."
"What should Peng do?" Peng Dalang was puzzled.
Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just carry the butcher knife close to you."
Peng Dalang nodded after hearing this.
After that, Peng Dalang carried the butcher knife with him.
One day, Peng Dalang went to the market to buy cows. These are all eliminated old cattle, and they can no longer be plowed and can only be slaughtered.
Peng Dalang stopped and stopped. After walking around, he had an idea and decided to buy the old cow that he thought was pretty good.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from my ears: "Master, this old cow in front of you is very valuable, buy it quickly."
Peng Dalang was shocked and looked in the sound, but he did not see anyone talking to him.
"Master, have you forgotten? I am Yuzhu. You must be right when you listen to Yuzhu. This cow has beef yellow in its body."
Peng Dalang was moved when he heard the word "beef yellow".
oxen is valuable and comparable to gold.
The old cow in front of me was very thin, with a slim look on his face. The seller was anxious to take action, but he was worried that there was no buyer. Now that he saw Peng Dalang coming, he immediately smiled and said, "This hero, although our old cow has a little thinner, he has a lot of tendons. Otherwise, you can take three taels of silver to take away the cow."
Peng Dalang was happy when he heard this. If the cow had beef yellow in his body, he would make a lot of money by buying it.
So, he readily gave the hawker three taels of silver.
Wait for him to slaughter the cow, but he was ecstatic when he saw the oxen in his body.
The oxen is quite big, and Peng Dalang made five taels of gold.
After that, Peng Dalang relied on the jade beads and every time he bought the old cow, he had beef yellow. Peng Dalang was very cautious and took the beef yellow batch.
Not long after, he made a lot of gold, lived a wealthy life, and bought land, and lived a free and happy life like a god.
One day, a Taoist saw Peng Dalang and frowned and said, "This hero, there is a black air swaying between your eyebrows. I'm afraid your life will not last long."
Peng Dalang thought Taoist was just a few words, and he did not feel at ease with this matter.
Who knew that this was heard by Old Man Zhu. He also felt something was wrong with his godson recently and his face was a little pale, so he asked him to invite the Taoist priest quickly.
Peng Dalang smiled, "Godfather, you are too worried, the child is very good."
Old Man Zhu saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to shake his head and sigh.
A few days later, Old Man Zhu fell ill. He called Peng Dalang to the bed and told him, "Son, my godfather, please do something."
Peng Dalang hurriedly said, "Godfather, just say anything if you have any instructions."
"There is a family in the east of the city. His godfather had received some favors from her. You can send some beef to their house."
Peng Dalang thought it was something important, so he replied lightly, "Godfather, just ask the servants to do this."
Old Man Zhu shook his head, "No, you must go there in person."
Peng Dalang had no choice but to nod and agreed.
In the evening of that day, Peng Dalang chose some fat and tender beef and set off.
According to the address mentioned by his godfather, he came to the door of a house and went up to knock on the door.
opened the door and was a beautiful woman with fair skin and beautiful eyes, which made Peng Dalang feel rippling.
The woman smiled and invited Peng Dalang to come into the house, and hurriedly brought him tea and water, very enthusiastic.
Although Peng Dalang has made a lot of money in recent years, his character has not changed and he has not indulged in his emotions. Therefore, when he sees a woman with affection, he is not moved.
Peng Dalang put down the beef and was about to leave, but the woman walked slowly towards him: "Heroic man, I'm afraid at night."
After saying that, the woman grabbed Peng Dalang's hand.
Peng Dalang took a deep breath, but after hesitating, he refused.
When Peng Dalang returned home, Old Man Zhu miraculously got better, looking at him with a look of relief and said, "Dalang, you finally escaped."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest I saw a few days ago suddenly appeared. He took out the peach wood sword and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman collapsed on the ground, and Peng Dalang was stunned. Isn’t the woman in front of him Yuzhu?
"You harming female ghost!"
After saying that, Taoist chanted a spell, and after a few rounds, the female ghost was cleaned up.
It turns out that Peng Dalang was targeted by a female ghost and was sucked by a female ghost.
However, this female ghost is still in conscience, and she also gave Peng Dalang the benefits to help him choose a cow.
Fortunately, Peng Dalang has a great life and meets a Taoist with profound magic power, otherwise his body of yang energy would be swallowed up by the female ghost.
The Taoist saw Peng Dalang dressing beautifully, and thought he was a slutty child, and did not want to help him.
Fortunately, Old Man Zhu pleaded for mercy, and Taoist nodded reluctantly. However, Taoist wanted to test Peng Dalang, so he arranged for the pretty woman to meet him.
Peng Dalang guarded the bottom line in his heart and escaped.
After that, Peng Dalang became a cow killer again. With his hard work, he married his wife and truly lived a leisurely and comfortable life.
