Chapter 422: Jing Pantuo
said that the reverse dragon in the capital is not only Xiao Miao.
There was a man named Jing Pantuo, who also sent his subordinates to operate in Beijing.
This Jing Pantuo was originally an idle man in Jiangjun, he was abandoned by his parents because of his poor family when he was a child, but fortunately, he was adopted by a monk in a nearby monastery.
But this Jingpantuo was undisciplined since he was a child, and he couldn't bear the hardships of the mountains, so he ran out of the monastery and lived by stealing chickens and dogs in nearby villages.
Because these villages are close to Buddhist temples, and the people in the villages all believe in Buddhism and have compassion, they have no heavy responsibility for Jing Pantuo's behavior, and the most powerful thing is to reprimand a few words. What's more, because they pity him for his background, they will give him some food.
In this way, even without parental upbringing, Jing Pantuo has grown from a naughty bad boy to a five-year-old idler.
This Jing Pantuo has been used to stealing chickens and touching dogs since he was a child, and he is lazy to do it when he grows up.
On weekdays, he would get together with the idlers from all over the country, gambling and deceiving the strangers who passed by to make a living, and there was really nothing to fill his stomach, so he went to the nearby farmer's house to steal some food.
And he is different from when he was a child, who wants to say that it is heavy, Jing Pantuo will often spoil all the dealers of that person in order to get things done.
Because of his unrelenting evil, he was sent to the yamen and imprisoned for a few months at most, and he would retaliate even more severely if he was released.
Gradually, everyone was afraid of him, and it turned out to be the climate for this idle villain.
Later, he fell in love with a little widow, so he often went to flirt with others, and the little widow was also soft, and in the end he could only admit it, and the two lived together.
This Jing Pantuo has a beautiful daughter-in-law, and also picked up a family property for nothing, under the persuasion of the daughter-in-law, his personality is also a little restrained, no longer do the thing of stealing chickens and dogs, and gradually do a legitimate livelihood.
In this way, people from all over the country praised him for his goodness.
People are like this sometimes, because they are afraid, so they have respect, sometimes others bully you and bully you badly, and if you are a little more kind to you, you will treat him as a good person.
Anyway, this Jing Pantuo suddenly changed and became a respected figure by acquaintances in ten miles and eight towns.
Even when he was walking on the road, there were people who often greeted him, and it felt as if Jing Pantuo was the third elder in the township.
Of course, people's respect also made Jing Pantuo regard himself as a character, not only did he not continue to oppress the township, but even turned into a person, and he also became a Bao Gong, and if there was a short matter in the neighborhood, he would be asked to judge the case.
Over time, he tasted the convenience and benefits of power, and began to sprout his old state again, but compared with before, he now pays more attention to his own image, hiding the evil side, on the surface he is a respected righteous man in the countryside, but secretly colluding with a group of ruffians and lazy people, secretly doing some shady business.
Suddenly, one day, Jing Pantuo had a dream, in the dream there was a god told Jing Pantuo, he had the life of the emperor, in the southwest of the village on the side of the small river, there is a big willow tree hugged by four people, as long as you climb to the top of the tree, you can see that there is a spring inside, and wait until the willow on the branch next to the spring hangs down to the spring water, Jing Pantuo jumps in to bathe, you can get the life of the real dragon.
When Jing Pantuo woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.
It was the first time he had such a real dream for so many years, and the ancients were very superstitious, and Jing Pantuo was a restless person, so he hurriedly dressed and did not eat, and came to the small river in the southwest of the village.
I saw that there was a big willow tree here that was the same as in my dream.
Jing Pantuo climbed to the top of the tree and looked at it.
Hey! There is a spring in the center of the trunk!
The willow on the branches of the trees next to him hung down, and they were still three or four inches away before they could touch the water.
Jing Pantuo's mood was extremely excited, for this spring, he didn't have much heart to work, and every day from time to time to the willow tree by the river to have a look.
After a long time, his daughter-in-law also realized that something was wrong, so she asked him what had happened.
Jing Pantuo did not hide it, and told his daughter-in-law about the dream he had.
His daughter-in-law didn't say anything on the surface at that time, but she thought in her heart: They all say that they think about it every day and dream about it at night. My husband grew up in these ten miles and eight towns since he was a child, which big tree did they not dig a bird's nest? He must have seen the spring in the heart of the tree before, but after a long time, he gradually forgot it.
Then I thought: If he doesn't stop thinking, he definitely doesn't want to work, got! Let's let him take this bath first.
Jing Pantuo's daughter-in-law made up her mind, so she made an excuse the next day, took her husband to the county seat, and then took the line to the river, climbed the willow tree, tied a line to a wicker, and tied a stone to the other end.
Then he threw the stone into the water with a "poof", and the wicker was pulled by it, and immediately fell into the water.
Jing Pantuo's daughter-in-law looked at it.
It's okay, the lines of the treetops have all entered the water, and the color is not conspicuous, with her husband's urgency, it will be too late to be happy, and he will definitely not take a closer look.
After doing this, she walked away triumphantly.
In the afternoon, Jing Pantuo came back from the county seat, because he hadn't seen what was going on with the spring for a day, and he hadn't returned to the village yet, so he hurried to the river.
Wait until you climb to the top of the tree and take a look, ho! The treetops have finally sunk into the water!
Jing Pantuo's temperament is not only anxious, but when he encounters good things, he is like when cats and dogs eat, he is afraid that someone will rob him.
Because he was afraid of regenerating branches, Jing Pantuo didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he jumped into the spring with a puff.
If he didn't wear clothes, he might even touch stones and threads and notice that something was wrong. But now, the stone has been rubbed off, the thread has been broken, and all traces have been erased by himself.
Jing Pantuo's heart is still beautiful.
'Hmmm! The taste is good, with a woody aroma. ’
At this moment, there was a refreshing and cool feeling, as if drilling into the body along all the sweat pores around the body, making Jing Pantuo feel indescribably comfortable.
At the same time, a large amount of greasy, black, black, red, and red dirt seeped out of his body and merged into the surrounding spring water, making the originally green spring water a little turbid.
After about ten minutes, all the strange sensations disappeared, and even Jing Pantuo could still smell a foul smell, and he quickly climbed out of the spring, only then did he realize that his body seemed to be much lighter.
Jing Pantuo jumped lightly and jumped off the willow tree, only feeling relaxed, without much sense of shock.
Obviously, Jing Pantuo's physical fitness has been comprehensively improved when he is bathing.
He looked back at the willow tree and said in his heart, 'This sacred tree will continue to remain, and if anyone here gets the same ability as me in the future, won't someone want to fight with me for the emperor?' ’
Flashing this thought, Jing Pantuo hurried home, regardless of the wetness on his body, picked up the axe and walked out.
"Where are you going?" His daughter-in-law asked.
"Cut down trees!"
Jing Pantuo finished speaking without looking back, and the person was already far away.
When his daughter-in-law saw this, she covered her mouth and snickered, but she thought that her husband had not received any benefit, so she took the willow tree out of anger.
The heart said, 'Now you will be able to do your duty!' ’
