There is a scholar named Ren Yao, who has been smart since childhood, studied hard, and looks forward to succeeding in joining the company one day. However, the officialdom was dark at that time, coupled with bad luck, until the age of 30, he still achieved nothing, so he was disheartened and planned to give up his studies and devote himself to cultivation.

He visited the famous mountains and rivers, and on this day he came to Zhongnan Mountain. Suddenly, the cloudless sky was overcast, thunder was rolling, and a pouring rain was about to fall from the sky.

Ren Yao panicked, got lost, and unknowingly came to a cliff.

With the help of electric flashes, he found a skeleton sitting on the edge of the cliff, and the lightning exploded beside it one after another, and Ren Yao was horrified.

He suddenly saw a cave about three meters to the left of the skeleton.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't care about being afraid, and hurriedly ran into the cave to avoid the rain.

As soon as he entered the cave, the rain poured down, and when he looked at the skeleton again, it was probably a long-term experience of wind and sun, coupled with rain washing and thunder and lightning bombardment, and it actually "gacked".

Ren Xiaoyao saw that he couldn't bear to break the skeleton's bones, so he ventured over and carefully moved the skeleton back to the cave.

After a while, the heavy rain stopped abruptly, and the rain passed the sunny day.

Ren Yao was about to continue his journey, but he had just stepped out of the cave with his front foot, when suddenly he heard a dull voice: "Strong man stay, I have something to say, thank you for saving your life!"

Ren Yao looked back and was shocked, only to see the skeleton standing up and looking at him with dark eyes, and he couldn't help but retreat in fright.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster. ”

"You're not a monster, so what kind of monster are you?"

"That's a long story, listen to me in detail. I am a Taoist who cultivates Taoism, it has been more than 400 years ago, I practiced enlightenment in this mountain, one day by chance, I actually peeked through the method of becoming immortals, but if mortals become immortals, they need to go through three tribulations, one of which is the life and death calamity, the second is the thunder and lightning calamity, and the third is the blood calamity. In order to survive the first eon, I hid my soul in dry bones and attached it to my bones to continue my practice. ”

"Now that I have explored life and death, I am about to complete my merits. Today is a thunder and lightning disaster, fortunately rescued by a strong man. As for this bloody tribulation, I hope that the strong man will come here again in nine days, cut his index finger, and drop nine drops of blood on me. ”

Although Ren Yao was dazed when he heard it, he still nodded in agreement.

The skeleton sat down on the ground again, and fell silent.

He felt like he was in a dream.

Nine days later, Ren Yao came here as promised, he cut his index finger in pain, and dropped nine drops of blood on the skeleton's body, strange things happened, only to see that the skeleton emitted ten thousand rays of light, and actually recovered into a crane-haired and childish Taoist priest, with the glow slowly rising, disappeared outside the nine clouds under the support of the clouds.

Ren Yao was suspicious, looking closely at the place where the skeleton disappeared, there was a whitish cloth.

Ren Yao picked it up and took a look, only to see that it was written: You and I can see each other, that is, there is a fate, there is a hole directly above the bottom of this cave, there is a box inside, there is a cultivation technique and nine pills in the box, you practice diligently according to the records in the book, the pill is a panacea, can help you practice, as long as you study hard, even if you can't become an immortal, you can prolong your life, no disease and no disease.

Ren Yao looked at it, very happy, this is really "stepping on the iron shoes and nowhere to find, it takes no effort to get it", he knelt on the ground and bowed three times to the place where the Taoist priest disappeared.

Ren Yao walked into the cave, took out the box, cultivated hard according to the records in the Taoist book, and took one pill every six months.

For three years, Ren Yao went down the mountain to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Ren Xiaoyao lived to be 180 years old and died without illness.

There was such a beggar, who was born with a disability, and when he was a teenager, his parents died, leaving him alone and miserable.

This little beggar in the village relied on everyone's family to give him a bite to eat, and his family gave him some clothes so late to survive.

There is a small river in this village, and the villagers have to pass through this small river when they come out and go in, and there is a bridge over the river, but this bridge is built by the village bully, and his family pays for it, and whoever wants to cross the bridge has to pay for the bridge.

Because the big guys don't have money, some people can't pay the bridge toll, so they can only take the risk of wading across the river.

Because of this, there is no money, and several lives have been buried in this river.

The old scholar in the village also took people to the bully Ren family to make trouble, but the Ren family was also indifferent to this matter, the bridge was built by others, and it was natural to give money when crossing the bridge, and the Ren family was a bully, so this matter was over.

Growing up in this village, the little beggar who grew up on a hundred family meals has always wanted to do something for the village, and recently heard that when the cattle of the second sister-in-law Yun in the village were crossing the river, the river suddenly rose and drowned the livestock.

Because she was already poor and the livestock she relied on for her survival was drowned again, Yun's second sister-in-law hanged herself at home, but fortunately she was found in time and saved her life.

Thinking of this, the little beggar thought, why can't he build a bridge for the village? Even if it can't be repaired, at least it can pass through pedestrians and livestock, so that the villagers don't have to work so hard.

Thinking of this, the little beggar dragged his stump and picked up stones every day and piled them by the river.

When people saw it, they asked the boy why he was picking up stones and piling them by the river.

The child replied that a stone bridge should be built to make it easier for the neighbors to walk.

Everyone disagreed, thinking that the child was talking crazy, and most of them laughed at it.

But over time, year after year, the stones were piled up into a hill.

The neighbors began to change their understanding, and were moved by the child's spirit, and devoted themselves to the action of picking up stones, quarrying, and repairing bridges.

At first, this little beggar repaired the bridge, and someone informed Ren Tian, and Ren Tian felt that he was building the bridge alone, isn't this a joke?

He didn't care, but as more and more people built the bridge, Ren Tian thought, if the bridge was built, how could anyone still cross his bridge.

So, Ren Tian wanted to find someone to destroy the bridge that had not yet taken shape, and at this time the housekeeper of his family spoke and said: "Master Ren, this bridge cannot be demolished, if this is demolished, we will be in opposition to the people of the entire village." The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention so many people, we were in a hurry, and we didn't want to stay here, or you look at this, let's make an example of the chickens and monkeys. Isn't this bridge built by this little beggar, let's start with him, anyway, he has no father and no mother. ”

And so, the next night, there was a scream at the place where the little beggar lived.

In the morning, when everyone repaired the bridge, they found that the little beggar had not come, so they went to check where they lived, and found that the little beggar had fainted at home, and the ground was covered with blood.

I called the doctor and asked, and the rest were skin injuries, but these eyes couldn't be saved.

In this way, the little beggar was blinded by Ren Tian, in fact, everyone in the village understood who did this, but no one dared to say it.

After the little beggar was blind, the matter of repairing the bridge was put down, and no one wanted to be this budding bird.

Then, just when everyone thought that this matter was over, the first thing they did after the little beggar was injured was to ask how the bridge was repaired, and when he heard that the work was stopped, the little beggar was silent.

The next morning, everyone found that a small figure by the half-repaired bridge stumbled, because of the inconvenience of the eyes, got up and fell, fell and got up, and fell back and forth, and carried stones to the river over and over again.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were moist, and more and more people gathered on the side of the bridge, I don't know who did it first, and the matter of repairing the bridge began again under the drive of the little beggar.

On the day when the bridge was built, the sky suddenly rained heavily, everyone looked for a place to shelter from the rain, the little beggar because of the inconvenience of his eyes, it was slower than others, when everyone found a place to shelter from the rain, saw the little beggar, just about to call him over, then suddenly a thunderclap.

Everyone watched as the thunder struck the little beggar's head, and the man fell.

Everyone ran over to check, but found that the person was charred and out of breath.

Then the irrepressible emotions gushed out, lamenting the child's misery and accusing the sky of injustice......

The old scholars in the village even engraved the new bridge that had just been repaired:

Good people do not pay for their lives, and disasters will be left for a thousand years.

The heavens are unfair, and they will not do good from now on.

seems to be laughing at God, why the Ren family doesn't split the bridge toll, but he just splits a good person.

After writing it, he led everyone to bury the poor little beggar that night.

When the old scholar in the village was half-asleep, he seemed to have been taken to the public court, and before he could speak, the master said: "You say that the way of heaven is unfair, what is the injustice of the way of heaven? ”

The old scholar replied: "The way of heaven is unfair, good people don't live long, and the little beggar in our village is an example." ”

After he had finished speaking, the master said, "Do you know that the boy did a lot of evil in his last life, and his karma was very great. It takes three lifetimes of evil to repay the sins of that lifetime. Originally, the first life was lonely and disabled in the first life, the second life was blind but crippled, and the third life was struck by lightning and the corpse was in the wilderness. The child was reborn in the first life as poor and disabled, but he changed his past mistakes and only wanted to do good things for others. Let him return the inheritance of two lifetimes. Blinded him. But the child does not complain, but silently does good things for others. Heaven took the karma of his third life and returned it in one life, so the lightning struck and killed. ”

At this time, the master asked the old scholar, "Do you say that the bad karma of the third life is good or bad?" The first life has returned the karma of the third life, because he is dedicated to doing good deeds and only thinks of others in his heart, so he will be reborn in a rich and noble family in the next life and enjoy the blessings of great wealth and great wealth. ”
