It is said that Dehuisheng went to Yangzhou with his family, but the old cripple was pulled to Huai'an City to join his relatives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWho are your relatives? It turned out to be the old and disabled sister-in-law. This person's surname is Gao Mingwei, and his name is Maha. Although he reads a lot, he doesn't mean to be famous. The family has dozens of acres of fields, so he can be regarded as a small rich man. Live on the edge of Spoon Lake in Huai'an City. This spoonful lake is just a lake in the northwest corner of the city, and the scenery is very lovely. There is a great pavilion of compassion in the lake, surrounded by water; A board bridge on the south side is dozens of zhang long, surrounded by a red fence; To the west of the lake is the city wall. Outside the city, there are many sails, and there are constant exchanges. At dusk, a corner of the sail is revealed on the female wall, and the red sunset hangs on it, which is very good in the painting. In the east of this spoon lake, he bought another piece of land, but it was more than one acre, and he encircled a hibiscus fence and built a few thatched huts, which were called Xiaorimchuan Garden. Draw the water of the lake into the garden, plant some lotus, and plant some plum blossoms and osmanthus in the rest of the land, but use countless small pots to plant moon flowers. This Huai'an Yueji was originally famous, and there were many species, about seventy or eighty names, among which Lantian jasper was the most.

That day, the old man went to Gao Wei's house and saw his sister. When the sisters and brothers saw each other, they were naturally very happy. After sitting for a while, both men and women had seen his nephew, but he did not see his sister-in-law. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is my sister?" I guess I went to a poetry club again. His eldest sister said: "I didn't go out, I guess I was in his small rim garden." The old remnant said: "My sister is really an elegant person, and she has built another garden." The eldest sister said, "Hey, where is there a garden, but a few thatched houses." It's just outside the back door, but it's about a stone's throw away to the northwest. Ask your nephew Xiaofeng to take you to see, yesterday his Lantian jasper opened a different species, with a large bowl mouth, fragrant and refreshing, clearer than the fragrance of orchids. You have come just in time, and he will catch you to make poetry. The old remnant said: "Although you can't do poetry, you can always disturb it with a mouthful of flower-viewing wine." ”

As he spoke, he went out of the back door with Xiaofeng, not far to the west, and had arrived at the door. There is a small bridge at the entrance, and there is a hedge in front of the bridge to block it, go a few steps north along the corridor, turn west and arrive at the main hall. There is a flat forehead on it, and four big characters are written "Scattered Flower Bucket Room". When I burst through the hall door, I saw that the high Maha was worshipping the Buddha there. There is a statue of Guanyin in it, and in front of it is a pot of Lantian jasper moon flowers.

Xiaofeng stepped forward, saw him worship the Buddha, and said, "The second uncle is here." Gao Wei turned around, saw the old man, was overjoyed, and said, "When did you come?" The old man said, "I just came." Gao Wei said, "You came just in time. Look at the heterogeneous species of my flower this year. Look at this flower, there are always thousands of petals. It looks white from the outside, but if you look closely, it is green, so you can look at it intently. It's as if I don't know how far away. Usually jasper, there is no fragrance, but this kind of fragrance is fragrant, and the fragrance is extremely clear, even the fragrance of orchids seems turbid. The old man sniffed it carefully and felt that what he said was really not bad. Gao Wei was busy calling the little boy to make sencha, and took out a bottle of Bi Luochun from the kitchen and said: "For this good flower, if there is no good tea, it will inevitably disappoint the good friends." The old man smiled and said, "This flower is a good poem for you." Gao Wei said: "Yesterday I really wanted to make two poems to congratulate this flower, but then I am afraid that the flower will be smelly by the poem, and it is still not good." You can really do two songs! The old remnant said: "Otherwise, all flowers and trees will be made of human dung as fertilizer." This flower is too clear, and I am afraid that the power of dung is too great. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two of us made a poem, such as a few farts and made fertilizer for him! They both laughed. Since then, the old and disabled people have been here, nothing more than eating and drinking, talking about poetry, raising flowers, and worshipping Buddha, all of which are not elaborated.

But he said that the old man's home, Ben also lived to the east of his sister-in-law, and it was also a garden. There is a large lotus pond at the corner gate. On the north side of the pond is the boathouse, which is called the Rihai Ferry Cup. The east side of the pond is also a boathouse. A wisteria tree in front of it, blooming in March, half of the city is fragrant, and the name is Yinhan Fucha. To the west of the pond is a five-room water pavilion, called Qiu Mengxuan. To the north of the Haidu Cup, there is a Taihu Lake stone and three butterfly halls. Behind the hall is his family's residence. The old cripple usually lives in Qiu Mengxuan. When there is no pavilion, or playing chess in the Haidu Cup, or fishing in the Yinhan Float, it is also at ease.

One day in the Yinhan floating chariot to read the "Great Yuan Jue Sutra", see the happy, until the moon wheel is slanted to the west, shining to the outside of the chariot like the crystal world, play for a long time, go to sleep, naturally fall asleep as soon as the pillow falls. I dreamed that a poor man came outside, wearing a big red tasseled hat and holding a lot of documents in his hand, and sat down on the chair outside Qiu Mengxuan. The old cripple was very surprised when he saw it. I thought to myself, "How can I have an official errand here to go to the outside of the bedroom, why don't my family report it?" ”

Just as he was in doubt, he saw the messenger smile and said, "We invite your old man to take a trip." The old man said: "Where are you from the yamen, and who are you noble?" The messenger said, "We are the king of Yama." The old cripple was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Then am I going to die?" The messenger replied, "Yes." The old cripple said: "Since the time of death has come, I will go with you." The messenger said: "It's still early, I have more than 50 people here today, and your old man's ranking is at the end!" And he came up with a list in his hand. I see that there are more than 50 people, and my name is above more than 30. The old cripple looked at it and said, "According to you, when shall I be?" The messenger said: "I have a private relationship, first come to your old man's house to send a letter, so that your old man can be prepared, and if there is something important, tell your family to do it." I'll wait for the others to pass it all and then come to invite you old man. The old cripple said, "It's very affectionate, but I don't have any preparations, and I don't have any orders, so it's better to go with you." The messenger said, "Not busy, not busy." He got up and walked away.

The old cripple sat alone in the Xuan, thinking about what he was told, but he couldn't think of it. When I walked out of the window, I felt that the moon was as bright as day, the scene was quiet, silent, and there was a bit of misery. Said: "Bah! I'd better go to sleep, whatever. When I went to my bedroom, I saw that the tent was hanging down, and a pair of shoes were placed in front of the bed. I was shocked and said, "Ah! Who sleeps in my bed? When he opened the tent, he saw that he was sleeping soundly. I said to myself, "How can there be two of me?" Wake me up in bed and see what happens. "I tried my best to shake it, but I couldn't move anything. I understood in my heart, nodded and said: "At this moment, it is the real me who is standing, and it is my corpse that sleeps on the bed." Unconsciously fell into two tears, and said to the corpse: "Qu You are cold in the middle of the night today, how many people will cry for you tomorrow morning, I will accompany you less at this moment." "I looked back and walked out.

It's strange, this time out, the moon ring is no longer visible, and the market is not this market anymore, the sky is drowsy, like the weather that scrapes the yellow sand will not be too late. After walking a long way, I couldn't see an acquaintance, and I wondered very much, and said, "I knew this was the case, I might as well enjoy a moment of bright moon, and wait for the messenger to come back and go with me." Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Suddenly, I saw a little boy in front of me, jumping and jumping, and was about to ask him for directions, so I walked in front of him, and it turned out to be Zhou Xiaoerzi. This week, the little second son is the baby of a small family in the east of the house, and he was hanged two months ago. When the old cripple saw that he was an acquaintance, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Aren't you Zhou Xiaoerzi?" That week, Xiao Erzi looked up and said, "Aren't you the second master of Tie?" How did you get here? The old cripple told him what had just happened. Zhou Xiaoerzi said: "Your old man is really weird tempered. Other people's families refuse to die, and your old man is in a hurry to die, which is really rare! What are you going to do at the moment? The old man said: "I want to see the king of Yama, but I can't recognize the way." Will you send me there? Zhou Xiaoerzi said: "I can't enter the gate of the palace of King Yama, I'll send you to the palace gate!" The old remnant said: "That's it, it's good." As he spoke, he had arrived at the gate of the palace of the king of Yama. Zhou Xiaoerzi said: "Your old man should enter through this east corner gate." The old remnant said: "Spend your heart, I don't have any money, I'm sorry for you." Zhou Xiaoerzi said: "Don't want money, don't want money." "Jumped and jumped.

The old remnant entered the East Corner Gate, about half a mile away, and when he arrived at the second gate, he didn't see a person. I entered the second gate again, and thought to myself, "It's not a problem to run straight inside." After walking more than half a mile, he saw that it was a temple gate, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he thought, "I'll talk about it when someone comes out." But he saw a man coming out of the room from the east. The old cripple greeted him. I saw that the man made a gesture first, and said: "Make up for the man, it's been a long time." The old man took a closer look and saw that this person was in his fifties, with a black beard, and was wearing a azure horse coat, as if it was, with two blue jackets underneath. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Why did Your Excellency come here?" The old cripple said the summons of the messenger. The man said: "The messenger was a good intention, I don't want your brother to be so anxious, so I can run first, so I have no choice but to invite you to go for a walk." At this moment, it is the time for the five gods to interrogate those who commit evil crimes. A case like your brother is a case involving a person's life and has nothing to do with you. However, the defendant insisted that the case would be closed as soon as the brother arrived. Please go out and have fun, and I'll take care of you when the time comes. ”

The old cripple said "bothered", walked out of the second gate, and took a walk at will. Walk to the west corner gate, and see that there is a big tree in the west, about a circle of more than one zhang, as if there is a person standing under the tree. I wanted to go up and talk to him, but this man must be a boring person. When I walked up to him, I saw that he was a very familiar person. This person's surname is Liang Haizhou, and he died a month ago. The old cripple was overjoyed when he saw it, and shouted, "Brother Haizhou, are you here?" "I stepped forward and made a gesture. That Liang Haizhou replied half a way.

The old remnant said: "I broke up the month before yesterday, I think there will always be decades without seeing each other, who would have thought that they would meet again after a month, which shows that the two of us are fateful." But why you're still here, I don't understand. Liang Haizhou's face was gloomy, and he replied slowly: "The case has not been decided." The old man said, "What kind of case do you have?" How could it be delayed for so long? Liang Haizhou said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the life owed has been repaid, so is there any remaining sin?" It's just a big deal. Fortunately, our fifth brother has replaced his favor, and the class can be decided today. What kind of case did you come from? The old man said, "I don't know." There was an old man with a black beard who said to me, "It's nothing, just one class." It's just that I don't understand, isn't your fifth child still alive and not dead, how can he ask for favors for you? Liang Haizhou said: "What's the use of him coming, he entrusted a Taoist person to disband." The old cripple nodded and said, "It can be seen that the Tao is more useful than money." You think, although you are not rich, you still have hundreds of thousands of silver furniture, and you can't bring any of them with you now. But we who have no money are happy, and we have a beak on our shoulders when we are alive, and a beak on our shoulders after death, and we can't spend our money on rest, isn't it wonderful. Let me ask you: Even if you are also able to close the case today, what are your ideas after the case is closed? Liang Haizhou said: "I don't have any ideas, do you have any ideas?" ”

The old cripple said: "Yes, yes, yes." I think life is the most painful thing in the world, and God has forgiven us and let us be ghosts. This ghost has five pleasures, and I will tell you: first, don't eat it; 2. Don't wear it; Three, there is no family tiredness; The four-line bento, to be fast and thousands of miles, to squat there slowly, no one cares about you for three years; Fifth, I am not afraid of cold and heat, even if I go to the Arctic Ocean, it can't freeze me, and it can't heat me at the bottom of the equator in the South China Sea. With these five joys, what should not be done? My idea, today the case is closed, I will cross the river. First visit Tiantai and Yantang, and then go from Fujian to Guangdong to see the situation of Wuling, and visit the plum blossoms of Daqingling. Then go to Guilin to see the green landscape. On the Emei. Go to the north and go to Xiyue, stay for a few days, and return to Zhongyue Songshan. Have enough fun and go back to see what happened to my family since my death, and make a dream to persuade them not to grieve. Then let go of the footsteps, cross the Hanhai, go to Kunlun, build a thatched hut at the highest place on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and live for two years before making up your mind. Alone is a little lonely, are you okay with me? Liang Haizhou just shook his head and said, "It can't be done, it can't be done." ”

The old cripple thought that he must be happy to obey, so he said it very happily. Seeing that he shook his head again and again, he said anxiously: "You are really confused! I couldn't breathe when I was pressed by a few taels of silver before I was alive, and I was very worried about it, I persuaded you many times and refused to listen; If you die today, you can't bring half a penny, it's easy to solve the case, shouldn't you be happy? Do you still think about Xiao Jiujiu's abacus? I saw that Liang Haizhou was also anxious, and he glared at his eyes and said, "You are just confused." You know that money cannot be brought, but you know that sin is brought. The money is reserved for others to use, and iniquity itself is brought to an end. I just said that this case is decided, and there are other cases! I know when the deadline is? A happy old man like you, eat the ashes of the lamp grass and put a light fart! Seeing that he was very anxious, the old cripple knew that he had countless annoyances in his heart, and saw that his face was pale, and he felt sorry for him, so it was inconvenient to continue

was silent, I saw the black-bearded old man waving to the east, and the old man hurriedly went and walked in front of the old man. The old man had put on a big hat, but he was still in a riding coat. He said in his heart: "It turns out that the underworld is also the costume of this dynasty. He followed the old man into the palace gate, but he still entered through the east corner gate. The road is also paved with stone, and it seems to be bigger than the palace in the sun. Walk the end of the road, turn west is Danqi. Shangdanqi seems to be level ten. Walking to the middle of the temple gate, it was level five again. Entering the temple gate, it is about a dozen zhang away from the west, and it is another layer of platforms. From the western class, I saw that this platform was also a three-step road. When I went up the stairs, I saw the Son of Yama sitting on the central public case, wearing a crown on his head, wearing ancient clothes and crowns, white face and black beard, and he was very solemn but with a bit of kindness. About a foot away from the public case, the old man pointed with his hand, and the old man understood that he was asking him to salute here, so he knelt down and prostrated on the ground. Look at the old man standing at the west head of the public case, holding many books in his hands.

I saw the Son of Yama Tianzi ask, "Are you Tie Ying?" The old man replied, "Yes." Yama then asked, "What sin have you committed in the yang world?" The old cripple said, "I don't know what sin I have committed." Yama said, "Is there any one who sins and does not know it?" The old man said: "When I see something sinful, I naturally don't do it, and everything I do is what I think is innocent." Moreover, there are laws of the yang world, and there are laws of the yin in the underworld. The laws of the yang world are promulgated all over the world, but anyone who knows a little about self-love must read them once or twice, so they have not done anything that violates the laws of the country. As for the statutes of hell, there is no book to be written, so no one should turn away from them, but they should do it according to their conscience. But I felt that it was not harmful to others, so I listened to him. Therefore Your Majesty asks me what my sin is, and I cannot know it, so please convict me according to the law. Yama said: "Although the Yin Law does not have a special book, it is probably similar to the Yang Law. Where it is more encrypted than the Yang Law, it is probably already stated in the Buddhist scriptures. The old remnant said: "If you follow the Buddhist precepts and scriptures, I am afraid that the sins of so-and-so will be difficult to count." The Son of Yama said, "Not necessarily, let me ask you, do you commit the law of murder?" The old cripple said: "Criminal." Neither monk, natural meat. Although he did not slaughter cattle and sheep, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp were killed in a lifetime, countless times. "Yama's jaw. Then he asked, "Do you break the law of theft?" Answer: "Criminal." A lifetime of sin, but theft is the lightest. However, climbing the mountain to pick fruits, wading in the water to pick lotus, although the things are small, there is the main thing, it cannot be said that it is not a theft. Then he asked, "Is it a law of fornication?" Answer: "Criminal." As a guest for many years, it is boring, dancing and singing, sleeping flowers and willows, and there are many people. Yama asked again about the karma of mouth, meaning, etc., and the answers were completed one by one. Every time he asked about something, the old man held up the book and presented it once.

After asking, I saw that Yama Luo looked back and said two sentences, but he couldn't hear clearly. But he saw a man walking down from the seat, dressed in the same clothes as the old man. He walked up to the old man and said, "Get up." The old man stood up. The man whispered, "Come with me." Then he went around to the west, not far from the throne, and there were countless small chairs on the side, three or four layers in row, which looked like the least seats of the circus, but all of them were already seated, but the bottom floor was empty of seven or eight chairs. The man said to the old man, "Please sit here." ”

The old cripple sat down, and saw that the west side was like this, and the people were full. Looking closely at the person sitting on it, it is strange. It's not surprising that men and women sit in a staggered manner. There are those who wear court clothes and hats, some who wear blue cloth cotton jackets and trousers, and some who have a bare backbone; There are also monks, and there are Taoists; There are also very bright clothes, and there are also very tattered clothes, both men and women. It's just that there are few people wearing official uniforms, but there are only one or two people, but there are many people. In the middle of the most bizarre second row, a man wearing a court dress sat on a chair next to him, barefoot and barefoot, wearing only a pair of blue cloth single pants. Counting the first five rows in the west, there are about 100 people. But he looked behind the throne of King Yama, and there stood sixty or seventy people, half men and half women. The men are all robes and coats, boots and big hats, probably mostly crystal tops, and some are blue-topped, just one or two. The women are all palace clothes. The most strange thing is that so many men and women stand behind them, all of them are similar to clay sculptures and wood carvings, no one is smiling, and no one is looking left and right.

The old cripple was watching, and suddenly heard the person sitting next to him ask in a low voice, "What is your surname?" When the old man looked back, it turned out that he was also wearing blue cloth cotton pants, but he had a snow-white beard, about seventy or eighty years old, and his face was full of smiles. The old cripple also replied in a low voice: "My surname is Tie." The old man said, "You are a good man." The old man replied, "I'm not a good person." The old man said, "Anyone who can sit on a small chair is a good man." It's just that there are good and big and small, and marriage is far and near, and I just saw one person to the west to become a city god, and two more to be reincarnated into a rich family. The old cripple asked, "Are there any immortals and Buddhas in this pile?" The old man said, "I don't know, just wait, there is, we can always see it." ”

As he was talking, he saw that the panes of the palace were no longer visible, and the Danqi in front of him was not the same as before, as if it was an open field, and it was like a martial arts hall. The old man attached to the old man's ear and said, "The five gods have asked about the case." "At that time, I saw five chairs and five public tables lined up in front of the hall. In front of each public case, there is an errand officer, who looks like he is sitting in the hall with the county yamen. In front of every court, there is a bull's head, a horse's face, and a mace in his hand. There were five or six more who looked like servants, and they also had maces in their hands. How is it called a mace? A long stick, slightly longer than the Qi Mei stick, has a bone on the head, more than a foot long, the mouth of the tea bowl is thick, and the four dough are all small knives like wolf teeth. The little knife was about an inch long and three or four minutes wide, and it stood straight on the bone. The old man said to the old man: "Look, the five gods are very miserable! Calculating, the world asks why people do evil, it is nothing more than for the sake of wealth and sex, and lust is only for a short period of happiness; As for the wealth, they are all busy for people, and they can't take any of them away after death. It is really not worth it to suffer this mace in vain. ”

As he spoke, he saw five people in ancient clothes coming out from behind, and their faces were really vicious and abnormal. The front of the hall was clear, and when the five gods went to the public seat, they immediately became poisonous and gloomy, covering all the doors of the temple. Faintly. It was as if I heard countless weepings. I don't know what happened next, and I'll listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued.)
