Dang Dynasty During the Zhenyuan period, Li Na, the governor of Ziqing in Pinglu, was seriously ill. He invited many famous doctors to see him, but those famous doctors were helpless and shook their heads and sighed.
At that time, Li Na was only 33 years old, very young, and when his life was very good, he was naturally afraid of death. However, the doctor had no choice but to pray to the gods.
In order to show sincerity, Li Na sent his close confidant Aiya (official name, set up in the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, responsible for the ceremonial guards and guards. For example, Jinwu Guard can be regarded as the emperor's Aiya) Wang You went to the Taishan temple to pray to the Dongyue Emperor (the god of Taishan, responsible for the life and death of all living things in the world), hoping to extend his life.
Wang You fasted and bathed three days in advance to show sincerity. He only officially set out after the fourth day. He kept rushing along the way at the fastest speed, for fear of delaying major events.
A few days later, Wang You arrived at the southwest corner of Mount Tai, which was still some distance away from Mount Tai. Far from afar, Wang You saw four or five people on the mountain, wearing green clothes, half an arm on the outside (cloths similar to long gowns, because the sleeves are only half as high as the arm, so they are called half an arm, clothing from the Tang and Song dynasties). There were also three or five people wearing variegated clothes, following them, probably attendants.
Man in turquoise clothes and half-armed, holding slingshots, hitting birds on the tree. The man had good shooting skills and hit the bird with one shot. After the bird landed on the ground, the servants were busy catching it.
There are many people at the foot of the mountain, all of whom took cars to the mountain. After seeing the people who were hunting birds at the foot of the mountain, they got off the car and looked at them to bow.
Soon, Wang You arrived, he was still in the car. When people on the road saw that Wang You were still in the car, they all came over to let him get off the car, and said, "Among those people in front of them who were wearing green clothes, there were Saburoko and Shiroko who were Taishan God . How could you be so rude and still be in the car?"
When Wang You heard this, he quickly got off the car, and then looked at the people and bowed again and again.
At this time, Saburoko and Shiroko's followers came, directing passers-by and getting on the bus quickly, doing whatever they should do. Passers-by were a little hesitant and seemed not very brave. After all, when they saw the god's son, they had to get off the car and get off the horse. The Saburoko and Shiroko also came over, urging people to get on the bus and leave quickly. Passers-by took a look and then got in the car and left.
Sanlangko and Shiroko stopped hunting, and then walked into the mountains. The followers waved to Wang You, and Wang You hurriedly followed.
They took an unknown road, and there was no one along the way. Saburoko and Shiroko soon arrived in the hall. They held the slingshot, which seemed boring, and they randomly scratched and pulled on the ground with one end of the slingshot. While slashing and pulling the ground, they looked left and right, as if waiting for someone.
When Wang You followed, Sabuko and Shiroko waved to him, let him go forward, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wang You said, "My lord is very ill and has no choice but to hire many famous doctors. He is only in his thirties and is still very young, so I asked me to come for him and ask Emperor Dongyue to show his compassion and let him live a few more years."
Sanbuko said, " It's too late, your lord has arrived, so you've run away in vain. You don't believe it, right? Do you want to meet your lord?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the entourage and said, "Take Wang You to see his lord, forget it, you'd better open the door and let him see it yourself."
The entourage opened the gate of the west and asked Wang You to see it. Wang You walked over and saw Li Na. He was wearing a long shackle and his hands were kneeling on the mat. His ears were cut off, and he seemed to be a prisoner who had been severely punished.
Wang You was shocked when she saw it, she ran over crying, hugged Li Na and cried. As she cried, he hugged Li Na's left foot and then bitten it.
Sanlangzi said, "Wang You, don't do this, retreat quickly!" When several followers heard this, they quickly went over and pulled Wang You and took him out. Immediately, the door of the West Courtyard was closed again.
At this time, Qilangzi said to Wang You: "You believe it now. Your lord is dead and cannot be saved.Let's see your new lord, how about it? "
Wang You wiped his tears and nodded.
Qilangzi looked at the entourage, and the entourage immediately opened the door of the east yard. After entering, he came out soon again, with a man, not tall and a little fat, but very energetic and temperamental.
Qilangzi said to Wang You: "This is your new lord, come and see him quickly. "
Wang You walked up to him and paid homage to the new lord, but he said nothing. After paying to the new lord, Wang You looked at the west courtyard again, thinking that Li Na suffered in it, and felt uncomfortable.
When he turned around, he suddenly sneeze. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Saburo Shiroko, their followers, the hall yard, etc., had disappeared. There were only green pine and green cypresses in front of him, and everything was quiet. Wang You knew that he was the son of the Mount Tai God who saw the appearance of the spirit.
Since the son of the Mount Tai God has all appeared , then obviously what he saw before was true. So he did not dare to delay any longer. After praying and celebrating, he hurried back.
After returning, Wang You went to see Li Na as soon as possible, but fortunately Li Na was not dead. Li Na learned that he was back and asked him to enter his bedroom.
Li Na asked about Wang You's prayer, and Wang You said everything he saw when he went to the sacrifice. However, he filtered a little, and did not say that he would pay homage to the new lord, nor did he say that he saw Li Na wearing shackles and locks, but said that everything was fine, and the God of Mount Tai would bless Li Na.
Li Na smiled bitterly and said, "Wang You, why don't you tell the truth? I'll ask you, why did you bite my left foot? "As he said that, Li Na stretched out his left foot and showed it to Wang You.
Wang You saw that his left foot was indeed broken, and he had to kowtow and told the truth. Even he said that he saw Li Na shaved. Wang You didn't mean it, but because he was too sad, he accidentally bit his left foot when he hugged Li Na and cried bitterly.
Li Na heard that there was a new lord, so he asked Wang You, who was that person.
Wang You shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only remember his appearance, I don't know his name. "
Li Na is the separatist Jiedushi, and he inherited his father's power. Therefore, when he dies, he naturally has to let his son be the governor of Pinglu Ziqing. Thinking of this, he called his three sons and asked Wang You to ask if one of them.
Wang You saw Li Shigu , recognized it, and said, "It's him, he is the new lord! "
So, Li Na handed over the power to his son Li Shigu. After
explained the funeral, Wang You asked Li Na: "Lord, why did you wear shackles when you were in Taishan Temple ? Why did Lord Taishan punish you? "
"Ah, do you remember that you just arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw Saburoko and Shiroko kill birds? That is actually they are hinting that you don’t understand. They are gods, how could they kill birds? That is recreating what happened to me back then. Back then, I loved hunting, especially bird hunting. Sometimes when I went hunting in spring, I killed a female bird and took all the eggs in the nest home to eat. I have hurt too many creatures and have no regrets, so the gods punish me for being short-lived. "
" But, what does this have to do with short life? Don’t many people hunt? "
" You don't know that hunting normally, but not killing too much, that's right. After all, people also have to fill their stomachs. I don’t have to think about filling my stomach, nor am I a hunter, and I always kill the female birds and implicate the bird eggs and the little birds. This is an excessive and a sin. Every time I kill a female bird and kill a litter of birds, I will reduce my life by one year. I should have lived to be 93 years old, but now I have to lose 60 years of life. Alas, it’s too late to regret it! When you went to Mount Tai, the God of Mount Tai told me in his dream. "
After saying this, Li Na fell to his head and died. His son Li Shigu became the new governor of Pinglu Ziqing.
Attached with Bai Juyi 's "Bird": Who says that the lives of a group are small? Ordinary flesh and skin. I advise you not to hit the bird on the branch, and the son is looking for his mother to return in the nest.
