Preface: Xuanwu is the spirit god of the North Sea.

Body:

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a story about the Kangxi period. Song Xiangde, a native of Xiangxi, is a businessman. Perennial sea in the land of China. Selling leather for a living, his people are kind and make friends. Because of its pure temperament, the people of the time called him "virtuous people".

One day, Song Xiangde and seven other merchants took a merchant ship to the north. When the ship entered the coast of Fujian, it was just late at night. They took counsel to rest for the night on the shore, and then set sail again tomorrow morning.

When the boat docked, the boat began to snore. Song Xiangde saw a big mountain lying across the North Sea in the haze. There seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at him. He shuddered all over, thinking he had encountered a ghost. Unexpectedly, the mountain spoke. "So-and-so, good and helpful. However, the people on this ship are exhausted. I can't bear to hurt you, so I told you in a dream, ten zhang away from here, there is a reef, and before the third watch tonight, I am bound to go to the reef coast. It can save your life. ”

Song Xiangde sat up and listened only to the snoring from the boat. It was a dream. He hurriedly woke up the other six and told everyone about this strange dream. One said, "Dreams are illusory, and they cannot be believed to be true. It says that there is a reef ten zhang away, and you know that this is a sheltered harbor, and even if there is a reef, it is hidden deep in the sea. From this point of view alone, this dream is not credible. The four people behind the man also nodded yes. After saying that, five people continued to sleep, and after a while, the snoring started again.

Only one person, quite convinced, said to Song Xiangde: "I listen to your words, and we can act." So they found ropes, bound the masts, and went down the hull to the surface of the sea, untied them, and jumped into the sea. When Song Xiangde was in the sea, he saw a bright yellow light swimming in front of him, shaped like a swimming snake, winding forward, as if guiding him in the direction of his journey. His body is also unusually light, and it seems that he can float without having to swim. Song Xiangde was not surprised. Suddenly, he heard the voice of his companion saving his life behind him, and Song Xiangde wanted to turn around and watch. He was stopped by a voice: "You alone will be spared death, and the rest shall not survive." This is their fate. After the sound disappeared, I only heard the companion behind me struggle a few times, and there was no sound of life.

Following that vein of light, not long after, a reef appeared in front of Song Xiangde. Song Xiangde struggled to climb the reef and stared uneasily at the merchant ship not far ahead. Everything seemed to be very quiet and peaceful, as if it was a calm night. However, at the moment of the third watch, a huge boulder suddenly rose from the sea, and in an instant, a large mountain appeared in sight, and the small merchant ship was caught on the edge of the rock. I could hear the cries for help of my companions on the ship, and at this time, a pair of dark green eyes emerged from the bottom of the sea, and it was intently annotating Song Xiangde, as if it was hinting at something. Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of Song Xiangde, and he saw six people taking out a huge amount of money to give to an official wearing a three-eyed feather. The official accepted the money and smiled. As soon as the picture turned, a stranger was killed. The picture turned again, and the six people were together and there were two people with them. But six men took out daggers and stabbed two to death, and threw them into the sea. The picture changed again, the six men and the two women were on a merchant ship, and they surrounded the two women, one of whom broke free from the crowd and threw herself into the sea, while the other was left to be ravaged by them, and in a short time she jumped into the sea in rags and tears. There are more than 20 such pictures. Look closely, those six people turned out to be the six people who were on the same boat as Song Xiangde. After reading all the maps, I only heard a roar on the sea, and the merchant ships in the mountains were smashed into the cliffs with all their might, and there was no doubt about it. After a while, the mountains on the surface of the sea sank to the bottom of the sea, and the dark green eyes disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

Song Xiangde looked at the river in a daze. When I got back to my look, I realized that it should be a god who knows people. It was this god who saved his life. From the picture, it can be seen that the six people who are walking with him are like gentlemen on the surface, but in fact, they are as ruthless as snakes and scorpions in their hearts, they have killed many people together, and dozens of lives have been implicated in them. Because they have done too much evil, they have not been punished in the world, so they have angered the sea god. Collect their sinful souls. In other words, without God's help, tonight, Song Xiangde's life is in danger.

Just after dawn, Song Xiangde was rescued by a fishing boat. Tell me all the way about last night. All will be skeptical. Song Xiangde occasionally asked: "Do you have a major unjust case here?" The boatman said: "Unjust cases? It is ridiculous, there are unjust cases everywhere, if you want to ask me, there are no less than ten unjust cases in mine, but if you want to say that the biggest unjust case is the case of Li Yan Province." ”

It turned out that Li Yan Province was the first good person in Fujian. Every year of disaster in Fujian, he generously donated rice and food to the displaced people. At the same time, he is also the largest businessman in Fujian, his ancestors have been in business for generations, and he is also very business-minded. Therefore, he was the first to sell short when the volume of goods was large and cheap. This has left many businessmen as a thorn in the side. Later, in another disaster year in Fujian, he and other merchants jointly submitted a letter to Emperor Kangxi, which angered the Fujian officials. thinks that he is guilty of the following crimes, and the provincial government has not yet asked for instructions, what qualifications do you have to skip the level of a small citizen. Later, he was framed and imprisoned, but his sin did not lead to death. However, for unknown reasons, he died of a capital crime, and his career fell into ruin. The family wealth was swallowed up by the government.

After hearing this, Song Xiangde knew that the first person who was killed in the picture realm was actually this big businessman and good man.

This story comes from the spirit record in Gu's hands. After reading this story, Gu said, "There are four gods in the spirit world, and they are the high-level holy spirit who rules the spirit world. They are the Green Dragon, which lives in the sky over Kyoto, and is known to the Dragon Runshi and Kyoto, the White Tiger, which exists in the deep mountains of the Central Plains and rules the land and mountain gods, and the Vermilion Bird, which haunts all over China and hears its voice, and Xuanwu, which is hidden deep at the bottom of the sea, dispatching the operation of the ocean. ”

Gu tapped his skull with the spirit master's copy and continued: "Master once said that Xuanwu is a huge turtle, and its shell is an island surrounded by boulders. That island is the shell of Xuanwu. When its eyes look at night, it will emit a dark green light, and those lights are a collection of spirits, called 'memories', and those who see them will appear in front of their eyes all kinds of images from Xuanwu memories, which are unique to Xuanwu and are very precious. On weekdays, Xuanwu will hide in the deepest part of the seabed, sensing where there are hidden dangers in the ocean, and every now and then release thousands of yellow and bright spirit species 'Xun', Xun's form is like a snake, in the daytime, because of the strong sunlight, the yellow and bright color of its body is covered, and the human eye can not see clearly. Song Xiangde was able to see it only because it was late at night. ”

"Someone once said that Xuanwu can protect the common people in the world, and it can also kill the evil spirits in the world. provided that it is within the jurisdiction of its rule. Judging by the transcript, this is indeed the case. I can call Xuanwu the 'god of the sea', but what I didn't expect was that Xuanwu turned out to be a huge turtle. I resent the fact that human beings in the world regard things outside of themselves as mustard. The incident of Song Xiangde also shows that a person with great virtue, great prestige, and great goodwill is regarded as an outlier in the human world. seems to be surrounded by a group of people, but in fact, they are all people who resent him to the bone marrow. Things in the world have been sprinkled for thousands of years, how many such examples are in front of us, and they only show one truth: good people do not live long. In the same way, a person who does evil to the bone marrow will be punished by heaven, saying: 'People are doing it, and the sky is watching.' That's it. If a person does something evil, although he thinks that only he knows it, God knows it, and the earth knows it. ”

"Listen to the legend of the ancestors, every time Xuanwu roars, it means the beginning of killing, listen carefully to its sound, you will find that it is a mixed anger and sorrowful voice, Xuanwu is the guardian god of the sea, it does not like to kill, but it can't bear to kill the evildoer. Some people say that people in the world only live for two words, one is called 'name' and the other is called 'profit.' Countless people are staging human tragedies on this carriage of fame and fortune. Losing morality and humanity. Perhaps, we are no longer the true colors of human beings when Nuwa created people. The world is too mixed, and people have become messy. ”
