Section 9 The Legend of Ma Ye
In the past, there was a small village called Majiazhai in the northwest of China, with more than 200 families living in it. All the people in the village www.biquge.info have the surname Ma, and I don't know where they came from, but they have lived here for a long time.
Majiazhai Village, surrounded by mountains, the center of the village is low and flat, there is a stream flowing through, the whole village looks at it from a distance, like a blooming lotus, many people say that Majiazhai Village is a rare treasure land. Fortunately, the geographical location, water source and other natural conditions of Majiazhai are good, and people live leisurely, but the only fly in the ointment is that life is too dull, and people have no special memories and topics when it comes to Majiazhai.
It wasn't until the birth of a child that the peace here was shattered. Ma Zhen, an honest and kind man in the village, died early when he was a teenager, and later lived with his single second uncle. Because Ma Zhen is kind, he usually has a quiet and dismal family, and he didn't marry a wife until he was thirty years old. Although this wife married into the door, two years have passed, but she has not given birth to a child for Ma Zhen, which almost saddened Ma Zhen and his second uncle. In ancient China, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, Ma Zhen often thinks that he really will not be the queen, in fact, he thinks that as long as life is practical and comfortable, there is nothing without children, but the most unbearable thing is the cold words of other people in the village, saying that his ancestors did not accumulate virtue or his parents did something hurtful and unreasonable, etc. Every time he heard someone say this, he was speechless, after a long time, he felt that their family couldn't raise their heads in the village, at that time, it didn't matter if the family was poor, but as long as you had a son, it was already a lot of capital.
One day, Ma Zhen was sarcastically ridiculed by his neighbors again, and Ma Zhen angrily went to the mountains to chop firewood, and then he felt relieved. When he got home, Ma Zhen didn't even eat, and he got angry with his wife because of a trivial matter. Ma Zhen's wife is from a neighboring village, called Zhao Yan, she has never blamed herself for Ma Zhen giving birth to a child, so usually no matter how much she was wronged, she just swallowed it in her stomach, today she knew that her husband was angry, so in the face of her husband's anger, she could only cry secretly. That night, Zhao Yan had a dream, dreaming that she was on the road on a moonlit night, and suddenly heard a whole beautiful music, and then saw a star crashing into her arms, she panicked and wanted to dodge, but despite her strength, the star still crashed over. The next day, Zhao Yan told Ma Zhen about the dream, and Ma Zhen also thought the dream was very strange, but he didn't think much about it, after all, it was just a dream. However, two months later, Zhao Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that she was pregnant. This news made the family very happy, and Ma Zhen suddenly felt as if he was about to float up when he walked every day.
Conceived in October and delivered in one day. Finally, Ma Zhen's wife Zhao Yan was about to give birth, and Ma Zhen invited the experienced Ma Erniang early. Despite this, Ma Zhen was still anxious like an ant on a hot pot, one moment in the east of the courtyard, and another time to the west, and his second uncle was also impatient. Zhao Yan started to have abdominal pain at noon, and now it is almost dark, but there is still no movement, and it is natural for them to be impatient. Finally, a baby's crisp cry and Ma Erniang's exclamation broke the long silence, like a thunderclap in a dull summer. Hearing the cry, Ma Zhen rushed into the house a few steps from the courtyard, and his second uncle was also eager to go and see, but it was inconvenient for him to go, so he went around in circles outside, and kept muttering in his mouth. After Ma Zhen entered the house, he was eager to see the child, at this time Ma Erniang was also holding the child was amazed, she saw Ma Zhen come in, so she took the child to Ma Zhen and said: "Look at you in a hurry, it's a boy, but you're afraid that this baby is not an ordinary person! With three eyes, I have never met such a strange baby!", Ma Zhen also saw it, he was also strange, but when he thought that this was his son, so it didn't matter what he looked like, he didn't care.
The next day, the news flew away like the wind, and everyone heard that Ma Zhen's wife had given birth to a three-eyed child, and everyone rushed to watch, and even people from other villages came. After seeing Ma Zhen's child, many old people said that only Erlang God has three eyes, and this child also has three eyes, and this baby is afraid that it is the reincarnation of a god. At first, only the old people said this, but gradually many people said this. Therefore, the people of the entire Majiazhai Village were immediately in awe of Ma Zhen's family, and they all took their own eggs, meat and the like to Ma Zhen's house for a while, and strictly protected Ma Zhen's family.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have flown by. Ma Zhen's son Ma Fuyun is also five years old, why is it called Ma Fuyun? It turns out that since Ma Zhen's child was born, everyone thought that this child was the reincarnation of a god and took special care of his family, and Ma Zhen also thought that this was his good luck, so he named the child Fu Yun, or it could really be his good luck, and after another two years, Zhao Yan gave birth to a big fat boy for him. Although Ma Fuyun is only five years old, his intelligence is far more than five years old, sometimes he speaks and does things that many adults are not as good as him and he is very strong, he can easily pick up hundreds of pounds of things, seeing him like this, everyone is more convinced that he is the reincarnation of a god, so the whole village almost responds to his needs. However, he is still a child after all, with the innocence and nature of children, but the indulgence of the people in the village gradually made him lawless, and he also did a lot of hurtful things.
Everyone has seen the changes in Ma Fuyun, but now everyone thinks that he is the reincarnation of a god, who will accuse him of touching that bad head? One summer, it had just rained, and the fields were still damp, so Ma Fuyun took advantage of the sunny weather and went to the field of his neighbor Aunt Ma to pick apricots. When she arrived at Aunt Ma's field, Ma Zhen didn't care about the wheat or the mud in the field, and ran over from the middle of the ground in a big stride, and this scene happened to be seen by Aunt Ma, she saw that the wheat had poured a large piece, and she was so distressed, so she couldn't help but say two words about Ma Zhen. Ma Zhen, he couldn't imagine that he would be accused of eating an apricot, he was very angry, although he was said a few words, but he was still angry. When Aunt Ma finished speaking, he jumped straight from the seven or eight meters high apricot tree into the wheat field, and smashed the wheat field into a big hole, and then walked away, Aunt Ma saw this, only trembling with anger! She also wanted to go to Ma Zhen to complain, but she knew that even if she went to tell Ma Zhen, it would be useless, because of everyone's connivance, Ma Zhen lacked discipline, and no one could control him. Aunt Ma saw that the matter had come to this, so she admitted it, thinking that she would let this matter pass, anyway, the whole village had been harmed by Ma Zhen, and it was not her family. But one day, when they got up early and spread the harvested wheat and planned to use the rolling stones to grind the wheat, they found that about 400 catties of rolling stones were missing. They remembered that the rolling stones were in the wheat mill, how could they be gone? They found all the places where they could put the rolling stones, but they still couldn't find them. In the end, they thought that Ma Fuyun might be hiding, so they went to ask Ma Fuyun, and Ma Fuyun also calmly took it, just because Aunt Ma accused him of eating apricots. Hearing this, Aunt Ma was very angry, but she had no choice but to persuade Ma Fuyun to return the rolling stones. In the end, Ma Fuyun promised to return them to the rolling stones, and took them to find them, but when they saw the place where the rolling stones were placed, they felt that their hearts were about to be shocked, only to see that the rolling stones were placed on a big tree by Ma Fuyun, they knew that Ma Fuyun was strong, but they never imagined that Ma Fuyun would be so strong that he put more than 400 pounds of rolling stones on such a tall tree. Seeing the rolling stones on the tree, they begged Ma Zhen to take them down, but Ma Fuyun refused to do it, and said that unless he boiled ten eggs to eat, Aunt Ma had no choice but to agree. In this way, Ma Fuyun took down the rolling stone, and looked at Ma Fuyun holding the rolling stone, just like he wanted to play, Aunt Ma was so frightened that they hid far away, just like that, Ma Fuyun played with more than 400 catties of rolling stones and walked towards Aunt Ma's wheat mill, and when he arrived at the wheat mill, he saw him throw it far away, and threw the rolling stone into the milling field, and suddenly there was a big pit in the wheat mill, all of which Aunt Ma was distressed, but she could only sigh.
Everything Ma Fuyun did, Ma Zhen saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart. Now, the people in the village scolded behind their backs, saying that Ma Fuyun was a scourge, and even the ancestors of his Ma Zhen family were almost scolded for three generations. He is sometimes distressed, but Ma Fuyun can't be controlled at all, he sometimes thinks that it would be great if there was no Ma Fuyun's son, the only thing that comforted him was that his second son was very well-behaved and cute. In order to control Ma Fuyun, Ma Zhen could only find a job for him to do, Ma Zhen thought that as long as his son was busy, he would definitely not have time to do anything wrong.
However, he asked Ma Fuyun to chop wood, Ma Fuyun didn't have the right tools, Ma Zhen asked Ma Fuyun what kind of tools he needed, Ma Fuyun replied: "Find two long ropes, tie up my ladder, I use it to carry firewood", Ma Zhen thought that his son was talking nonsense, so he said angrily: "You do it yourself, see what you can!" When he carried the firewood home as high as a mountain, he frightened the people in the village, and even more frightened Ma Zhen, and within a few days Ma Fuyun was full of firewood in front of and behind his house. Helpless, Ma Zhen asked him to go to the field to carry dung, who knew that Ma Fuyun actually used a large back basket for grain to load dung, and it didn't take long to carry all the soil behind the house. In this way, no matter what work Ma Zhen arranged for Ma Fuyun, Ma Fuyun always did something earth-shattering, which stunned the people in the village. Everyone said that Ma Fuyun had turned the sky upside down, it was a big scourge, and no one in the village could cure him, I am afraid that only God would accept him.
In a flash, Ma Fuyun is a teenager, he is tall and handsome, but he is still like before, doing all the bad things and being lawless. It was summer again, he went outside to play, it was noon hot and unbearable, he suddenly saw a group of people carrying a sedan chair at the entrance of the village, he thought, who is it? The sedan chair must be cool, I will take out the person and I will go to cool down. So he walked over to the palanquin and said to the man who carried it, "Who are you carrying? Let him come out quickly, and I will go in and cool off." Several people carrying a sedan chair also recognized Ma Fuyun and knew his style, after all, the only person with three eyes in such a large area as Fangyuan was Ma Fuyun of Majiazhai Village. At this time, a sedan chair said: "Ma Fuyun, you go elsewhere to cool off, we carry the second master (a god worshiped by the local people)" Ma Fuyun was very dissatisfied when he heard it and said: "I care what he is the second master, I still want to be cold today, and you still have to carry me", after speaking, he opened the sedan chair, and saw that there was a statue of the god inside, Ma Fuyun didn't care about the statue of the god and put it on the road casually, he did it himself, and let a few people carrying the sedan chair carry him away, otherwise he would beat people. A few people who carried the sedan chair had words of suffering, they all knew the bad reputation of Ma Fuyun, and they had no choice but to carry Ma Fuyun around, and the "second master" could only bask in the sun on the side of the road.
This made the "second master" angry, he was originally going to a place to do errands, but he was treated like this by Ma Fuyun, and the "second master" decided to accept Ma Fuyun, although Ma Fuyun was not an ordinary person. On this day, Ma Fuyun was walking on the road when he suddenly tripped over a stone and fell, and as a result, he fell to his death. When the people in the village heard that Ma Fuyun fell to death, they were all happy, as if they were relieved, only Ma Zhen's family was sad to die, no matter how bad Ma Fuyun was, they were all his Ma Zhen's children!
Ma Fuyun died, Majiazhai Village returned to its former peace, time flies, a few years have passed, and some people still occasionally mention Ma Fuyun, but they all say how bad he is. One year, in order to make the village better, Majiazhai Village invited the "second master", planning to séance (séance: the mage through the practice, let the god possess people, generally through the way of jumping to séance, some places in order to verify the authenticity of the séance, will be successful after the séance, set up a lot of levels to verify. Peace and well. As soon as God came down, people set up checkpoints to verify, and God answered them one by one, and people were convinced of this, but in the end they asked God's name, but God did not answer, and only after half a day did he say that he was not the "second master", not the "second master", and people were very surprised. The mages are also very strange, every time they séance, they have never encountered such a situation. Then the mage asked again, "Then who are you? Where were you before?" The god hesitated for a long time before saying: "I am from Majiazhai Village, my name is Ma Fuyun, I have become a god, come back to see everyone", everyone was surprised when they heard this, and suddenly the whole village shouted. In order to verify the authenticity, everyone asked a lot of questions, but "Ma Fuyun" answered them like well, and now everyone completely believed it. At this time, Ma Zhen heard that it was his son who became a god, and he was already a little old, and he trembled and walked to "Ma Fuyun" and said: "The previous things have passed, and now that you have become a god, you have to do good things for everyone!", "Ma Fuyun" saw his father, and he was also very excited, he first asked Ma Zhen about the situation at home, and then said to everyone: "From now on, I will bless the whole Majiazhai Village with good weather and rain, if anyone has any difficulties, you can call Ma Ye, my name is Ma Ye."
Since then, Ma Ye has done a lot of good things for the village, he is very effective, as long as you call Ma Ye at the critical moment, he will help you. Later, in order to thank him for his kindness, people made a statue of him at the entrance of the village, and worshipped him as the family god of the Ma family (a god worshiped by the same family name).
