Deng Kui came to his friend Cao Sheng's home before leaving and told Chao Sheng: "Brother, I'm going to go out for a long trip. At that time, brothers at home will help you take care of it. If your sister-in-law needs money, please help me to fulcrum first and wait for my bodyguard to come back to return it." Chao Sheng and Deng Kui grew up naked together since childhood and have a very good relationship.
Chao Sheng said, "Brother, don't worry, I have everything at home. After you leave, I will go to pay my respects to my aunt every day. I will prepare for rice, flour, grain, oil, etc. I dare not say too much. At least it should be no problem to arrange food and drink for my aunt and sister-in-law for a year." Deng Kui said gratefully, "I feel relieved if I have brothers."
After Deng Kui returned home, he gave his wife Zhao a tip and then boarded the ship to head towards Hangzhou.
The day after Deng Kui left, Chao Sheng was going to the street to buy some rice and flour and send it to the Deng family. But when he first walked to the market entrance, he saw Deng Kui's wife Zhao wearing heavy makeup and walking towards the temple outside the city. Chao Sheng thought to himself that it must be his sister-in-law who went to pray for Brother Deng to be safe. At this moment, a guest came to Chao Sheng's house and the little boy came to invite him home. Chao Sheng thought that it would be better to go to the Deng family tomorrow, and it would be better to do this day anyway.
This happened for three consecutive days, Chao Sheng encountered Zhao's heavy makeup and wiped away the temple outside the city three times. Coincidentally, Chao Sheng was plagued by other things three times and failed to go to the Deng family. Chao Sheng thought to himself that a good man has no good wife, and this is true. Although Deng Kui was a man of great strength, he didn't expect his wife to do such a thing on his back. Fortunately, I didn't go to the Deng family. I'm afraid this is God's will. If I run into Zhao's private meeting with my lover, I will be very embarrassed, and I may even be bitten back if I don't do it well.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chao Sheng has never been to the Deng family once since then.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye, Deng Kui returned home, and Deng Kui asked his wife Zhao: "I am not at home in the past two months. How much money did my brother Chao Sheng send?" Zhao complained a little, "This is the friend you usually make. I haven't been here once since you left!"
Deng Kui was very confused. He knew Chao Sheng's character. Could it be that he had encountered some changes in his family, so he was unable to come? Deng Kui picked up a few gifts and walked towards Chao Sheng's house. When Deng Kui was about to walk to Chao Sheng's door, he happened to meet Chao Sheng coming out of the house. After seeing Deng Kui, Chao Sheng said hello first, "Brother Deng, you are back."
Deng Kui looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, are you doing well in the past two months?"
Chao Sheng said with a worried look: "It's a long story, let's talk in the tavern!"
After arriving at the tavern, Chao Sheng ordered a table of dishes. After the two drank a few glasses of wine, Chao Sheng said, "Now, brother, I have encountered something difficult." Deng Kui said, "What are the difficulties brothers encounters? Brothers, come and help you advise the staff!" Chao Sheng sighed and said, "I have a very good relationship with you. Friend, his wife often goes out to stay at night and stays without going home. I want to tell this friend, afraid that it will hurt his friend's face. If I don't tell him, I feel that my conscience is not up to me..."
Deng Kui was straightforward and said, "Since you are not easy to say it, just hint him!"
Chao Sheng nodded and said, "Hint? I won't say anything, brother, eat vegetables! Eat vegetables! This turtle soup is good..."
Deng Kui looked down and saw that the table was full of green vegetables, and there was a pot of turtle soup in the middle. Only then did he realize that the so-called "good friend" Chao Sheng was himself. Deng Kui put down his chopsticks and said, "We have been playing together since we were young, and we are even more close to each other than brothers. If you know anything, just tell your brother the truth."
Chao Sheng had no choice but to say, "Brother, don't be angry. Since you told me, I have to not vomit. The next day after you leave, I will buy some rice and flour to visit your house. When I arrived at the entrance of the market, I saw my sister-in-law wearing heavy makeup and walking towards the temple outside the city.I didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that my sister-in-law had gone to pray for you. It happened that a guest came to my house at that time, so I went home. Unexpectedly, for three consecutive days, my sister-in-law wiped out the temple with heavy makeup. She, a woman, ran to the temple every day, probably with a private relationship. To avoid suspicion, I have not been to your house in the past two months. "
Deng Kui nodded. He knew that Chao Sheng was a loyal and honest person, so he had no reason to lie to him. Deng Kui clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, brother, I'll go home first. "Chao Sheng was worried that Deng Kui would cause death, so he advised: "What's wrong with a real man without a wife? If his brother made a mistake in this matter and expelled Zhao from the house, it would be worth it. Don't make a death and cause a lawsuit. "Deng Kui clasped his fists again and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have my own plans, see you again! "
After Deng Kui returned home, he handed the silver to Zhao, and then said, "You keep these silver for me to buy medicine and have daily expenses. The rich man in the south of the city has a batch of goods to send to Luoyang . He will set off tonight. I will not be able to come back for about 20 days. You can take care of yourself at home. "After saying that, Deng Kui turned around and went out.
Deng Kui did not walk far after leaving home. He hid behind a big tree at the entrance of the alley. It was already dark at that time, and Zhao tiptoed out of the house and walked to the ancient temple outside the city. Zhao came outside the mountain gate, knocked on the door knocking , and a handsome monk came out of it and led Zhao in.
Deng Kui tried hard on his waist, twisted the wall, then jumped into the yard, and lay in front of the window to peek. Zhao and two young monks were untied on the couch. The two monks said, "Little lady, didn't you say your husband is back? How come today? "Zhao said, "My devil took another job in Luoyang. It will take twenty or thirty days to come back. I am afraid that you two will be lonely, so I came to bed specially. "
The two monks did not say anything, and they set off their bows and stumbled. For a moment, water splashed everywhere in the house, and screamed constantly.
At this time, Deng Kui could no longer suppress his anger. He held a steel knife and was about to rush in, preparing to kill them with his own hands. At this moment, a big hand suddenly pressed on Deng Kui's shoulder. Deng Kui looked back and found that it was an old monk. Deng Kui looked closely and found that the old monk knew himself. He was the abbot of the temple, named Zen Master Huineng. It is said that he was the reincarnation of a ninth generation monk and knew that the cause and effect of Buddhism was profound.
The Zen Master Huineng whispered: "Donor, do it slowly. All this is a misunderstanding. You and I will talk with you and I. "
Zen Master Huineng took Deng Kui to a Zen room. Deng Kui said angrily: "You old monk is not strict in discipline and indulges in your disciples to occupy the good women. If you can't tell me why, I will kill you together today. "Zen Master Huineng clasped his hands together and said, "When will the revenge be repaid! Do you remember that night two months ago, you did something wrong? "
Deng Kui thought about it carefully. Two months ago, it was the first day he set off for Hangzhou. Because the ship needed maintenance at that time, they slept at the dock all night. At night, Deng Kui couldn't sleep and walked on the shore. He saw two foxes in the moonlight. Deng Kui was itchy and thought that the fox skin could be worth a lot of money, so he took a bow and shot the male fox to death with one arrow, and the female fox ran away.
Zen Master Huineng said: "That pair of foxes have been practicing for thousands of years. You shot the male fox to death. In order to revenge you, the female fox turned into your wife and did these ugly things. One is to ruin your reputation, and the other is to anger you and let you kill your wife, so as to achieve the purpose of revenge. Now the Zhao family in this temple is not your wife, but the fox demon. "
Deng Kui was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "You said that the Zhao family in the room was transformed by a fox demon. What happened to the two monks? Can you Buddhists indulge in traitors, stealing, and commit adultery? "Zen Master Huineng said, "The two monks are two great thieves. They occupied my temple and forced me to prepare porridge and rice for them every day."
Deng Kui became more confused and asked, "Aren't you helping the evil and accomplice the tiger? "Zen Master Huineng said: "The tender grass is afraid of frost and frost, and the evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones. I can't deal with those two big thieves, but based on my careful observation over the past two months, their yang energy has been absorbed by the fox monster, and I'm afraid today is their death. "
Deng Kui said: "What should I do with fox demon ? "
Zen Master Huineng said: "The devil will receive it. Today is the birthday of Thunder God. When I burn incense and recite scriptures, I will invite him down. A heavenly thunder can kill the fox demon. "Deng Kui and Huineng Zen Masters came to the two monks' house again, and heard the movements in the house not stopping. Deng Kui and Huineng Zen Masters looked outside the house for another two hours, and saw the two monks in the house kicking their legs and dying on the bed.
At this time, Zhao Shi in the house was full of complacent and appeared as a fox. Deng Kui recognized at a glance that it was the female white fox he saw on the shore two months ago. At this time, Zen Master Huineng chanted a spell, smashed a thunder from the sky, and slashed the fox along the window, and then chopped the fox to death.
After Deng Kui returned home, he found his wife serving his mother. Deng Kui asked his wife and learned that she rarely went out for two months and also had a bed with her mother-in-law at night. Then he realized that he had almost misunderstood his wife. At that time, the government was offering a large reward to arrest the two thieves in the Yangtze River. Deng Kui pulled their bodies to the government. The government was able to close the case and reward Deng Kui with 300 taels of silver.
Deng Kui took out 100 taels of silver to donate incense to the temple. If there were no guidance from the abbot, he might still be in the dark. He took out another 100 taels of silver to his good brother Chao Sheng, thanking him for his kind reminder. The remaining 100 taels of silver Deng Kui kept it for his own use. Since then, Deng Kui learned his lesson and never dared to kill foxes indiscriminately.
Postscript:
This story gives us the following inspiration, first: Don't do evil for small things. Deng Kui shot and killed foxes for no reason, but was retaliated by the fox demon, and almost destroyed their family. Second: Seeing that it is not necessarily true, Chao Sheng saw that Zhao often goes in and out of the temple, but how could he know that the real Zhao family is actually still in the Deng family, and the Zhao family who goes in and out of the temple is actually transformed by the fox demon. He told Deng Kui that it was out of kindness, but if If Deng Kui went home and killed his wife indiscriminately, I am afraid Chao Sheng would be blamed. In daily life, when we encounter major issues, we must be cautious and cautious. Third: Don’t indulge in excessive desires. The ancients said it well. The body of a beautiful woman is as crisp as a slim body, and a sword is used to kill a fool. Although the head is not seen falling, the bone marrow is secretly woven.
