During the Changqing period of Tang Muzong, legend has it that there was a priest Ma Zheng, and I heard that there was an elder Fuhu living in Zhurongfeng in Hengshan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He took a child servant and went up the mountain to visit the elder.

He climbed Zhurong Peak and saw a Buddhist temple, and sure enough, there was an old monk with white hair. The old monk was very enthusiastic and had to leave Ma Zheng to eat, but the oil and salt in the kitchen happened to run out. Ma Zheng told the boy servant to go down the mountain to buy oil and salt. The old monk escorted him out of the temple gate. Ma Zheng stood alone by the temple and watched the mountain scenery. At this time, another hermit named Ma Nua came from the bottom of the mountain. After exchanging names, Ma Nua said that he saw a tiger calling for someone halfway up the mountain...... Ma Zheng asked the man's age, appearance, and clothing, and exclaimed, "That's my child servant!" Ma Nuan said, "The strange thing is that after the tiger ate people, he suddenly turned into an old monk with a white beard. After a while, the old monk came back, and Ma Nuan whispered to Ma Zheng: "It is this monk." It was late in the morning, and the old monk wanted to invite them to live in the monk's room, but the two liked to live in the hall. They bolted the door tightly and watched the movement outside. In the middle of the night, a tiger came to bang on the door several times, and the two of them resisted it so hard that the door was not knocked open. Determined to get rid of the man-eating tiger, the two finally come up with a good solution.

Early the next morning, the two said that a strange sound came from a well in the backyard and tricked the old monk to the well. When the old monk came to the mouth of the well to look, Ma Nua pushed him down the well with force. As soon as the monk fell into the water, he immediately turned into a tiger. The two brought in a large rock and smashed it to death. The two got lost on their way down the mountain, but fortunately they met a hunter and stayed in a hut built on a tree for the night.

In the middle of the night, Ma Zheng was suddenly woken up by the sound of people under the tree. He saw through the moonlight that there were dozens of people, shouting to avenge the tiger. The hunter told them that they had been eaten by tigers, but when they died, they made way for the tigers and became ghosts. Ma Zheng scolded: "You ghosts, you died in the mouth of the tiger, and you have to cry and avenge it!" ”

According to ancient legends, a person who is eaten by a tiger becomes a ghost after death, and he has to serve the tiger. The idiom "acting for the tiger" comes from this, and it is now compared to the bad guy as an accomplice. (To be continued.)
