Weiqing
Weiqing is a resident of the Ru River embankment. His family lives in a hot spring. His family background was originally good, but gradually declined. As Wei Qing's generation, he had to start farming.
He once plowed the fields under the ancient city of the village on a moonlight. After being tired, he leaned on the dirt road in the wilderness to rest. Suddenly I saw a ball of white light rising in the field, like a meteor.
Wei Qing grabbed the thing and hid it in his arms. I went home at dawn and took it out and saw it. It turned out to be a big pearl.
The diameter of the bead is one inch or five minutes, crystal clear and without any flaws. So he wrapped it in a silk bag and put it in a lacquer box.
He showed the beads to the person who knew the goods, and the other party said, "This is a treasure produced by Hepu . It should be preserved. Even if you don't become a noble person, you will become a rich man." After hearing this, Wei Qing cherished this bead even more and often kept it in his bedroom.
After this, Wei Qing's family became better and better. He raised 100 cows, 2,000 acres of land, and more and more items were available. In ten years, he became a rich man.
The end of the Qianfu Fu, Wei Qing suddenly fell ill. Although all the doctors and wizards were searched, there was no way to cure them. A month later, his illness became worse and worse.
One day, he suddenly heard a clanging and crisp sound in front of the pillow. Wei Qing's heart moved and made people open the lacquer box. There were many cracks on the beads and the color was pitch black. Wei Qing died a few days later, and the bead disappeared.
From then on, his home began to decline. His descendants were unworthy, so they sold their property and bought wine for money. Before they could take off their filial piety clothes, their family was already poor.

Yubiao Hu
There is a juren living in the capital, and among his neighbors there is a hu man selling cakes. The Hu people had no wife. After a few years, the Hu people suddenly became ill.
Juren always visits to visit him and even sends decoctions, but the Hu people have never recovered.
Before my death, Hu Ren said to Juren: "I was very rich when I was in my country. I escaped here because I avoided chaos. I originally made an appointment with a fellow villager to ask him to pick up things, so I stayed here and couldn't go anywhere else. When you sympathize with me, there is nothing to repay. There is a bead in my left arm, which I have cherished for many years. Now that I am dead, it is useless. I will give it to you. After I die, I ask you to help me with the funeral and bury me. It's useless to get this bead. People here don't know anything. If you hear that there are Hu merchants from Western Regions coming in the market, you can ask for the price, and it should be sold at a high price." Juren agreed.
After Hu's death, the juren opened his left arm and indeed got a pearl. This bead is the same size as a projectile, not very bright.
Juren finished the funeral for the Hu people and brought the beads to the market, but no one cared about it. Three years passed like this.
One day, the juren suddenly heard that a Hu merchant had come to the city recently, so he brought beads to sell. Hu Shang was shocked when he saw the bead and asked, "Where did you get this bead from? This bead is not something that can be found here. Please tell me where it comes from."
Juren said the story. After hearing this, Hu Shang cried and said, "This person is my fellow countryman. He originally made an appointment to find this bead. Who knew that when I came, I encountered a storm on the sea and wandered around several countries, so it took five or six years to find a fellow countryman. I got here to find a fellow countryman, but I didn't expect that the person was dead."
finished speaking and asked to buy the bead. When the juren saw that the beads were not very precious, he only offered a price of 500,000 yuan. Hu Shang gave it to him at this price.
The juren asked him what the use of this bead was. Hu Shang said: "A spell of the Han people, taking the beads to the sea, and frying them with one stone of oil and two dou of frying them, the beads will turn into a thin knife. Take it into the sea, and your body will not be wet. The Dragon God is afraid of this thing, so he can go to the bottom of the sea to get the treasure.”
