Chapter 412: Karma
There is a small village, there is a young man named Teng Yunfei in the village, his parents died when he was a child, he has lacked care since he was a child, and he is listless all day long.
One day, Teng Yun flew into the mountain to chop wood, walked on the road and actually saw a shell coin, he saw that there was no one around, and quickly ran over to pick up the copper coin, but as soon as he got it in his hand, it turned into a sheep dung, he threw it to the ground in disgust, who knew that the sheep dung turned back into a copper coin when it reached the ground, he quickly picked up the copper coin again, and the result was still a sheep dung.
Teng Yunfei threw the sheep dung far away, and even wanted to die in his heart, he was uncomfortable when he was alive, but now he even had to play tricks on himself from heaven, and suddenly a majestic voice appeared: "You can't die now, there are still three days of yang life left, and you can't die if you want to when you want, you must go to Yunshan a hundred miles away after three days, only if you die there, you can be reincarnated, otherwise you will be a lonely ghost!"
Teng Yunfei originally felt uncomfortable living, three days is just three days, a hundred miles is not close, let's set off now.
Walking all the way, for a whole day, when it was dark, they arrived at a broken temple, Teng Yun flew into the broken temple, wanting to find something to eat, but there was nothing in the broken temple, so he could only find a place to sleep in the wind.
The next day, early in the morning, Teng Yunfei got up, and woke up to find that it seemed to be raining heavily yesterday, and the small bridge in front of the broken temple was washed down by the surging river.
After Teng Yunfei understood, he didn't say anything, went down to the river, waded through the water and carried the grandparents and grandchildren across the river, and the grandparents didn't even have time to say thank you, Teng Yunfei left on his own.
Teng Yunfei then walked to Yunshan, until it was dark, there was no one nearby, walking, and saw a tomb in front, it should be a new tomb, according to Teng Yunfei's customs, the first three days of the new tomb, someone must keep vigil every day, but this tomb is actually unguarded.
Teng Yunfei thought to himself: He was going to die anyway, and now he had nowhere to stay, so it was better to help him guard the grave for a day, and he slept next to the new grave.
In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a sound, Teng Yunfei found himself in a room, there were two old men sitting with their backs to him in the room, it turned out that the two old men were talking and woke him up, Teng Yunfei heard one of the old men say: " The spring water village in front, the old man Jiang in the village, his baby girl has a strange disease, and more than a dozen doctors are helpless, in fact, the disease is very curable, find a rooster, take the crown of its head, feed it to the girl, and the medicine will get rid of the disease, but unfortunately I can't go, this old man Jiang is kind and charitable, if his daughter dies, it will be a pity!"
The two chatted about something else, and when the rooster crowed, the person suddenly disappeared, and even the house was gone, and Teng Yunfei found that he was still next to the new grave.
He remembered what the old man said yesterday, and when he went to Quanshui Village in front, he inquired, and there was really an old man Jiang, and when he inquired again, his daughter was indeed suffering from a strange disease, and no one could cure it, so he thought, if he can, he can help.
He found Old Man Jiang's house, and after explaining his intention, Old Man Jiang quickly invited him into the house and asked him to treat his daughter.
Teng Yunfei prepared medicine for Old Man Jiang's daughter according to the method he heard yesterday, and after giving Miss Jiang the medicine, it didn't take long for Miss Zhang's illness to be cured.
Old man Jiang was very happy, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare sumptuous wine and food to entertain Teng Yunfei.
During the meal, when talking about Teng Yunfei, he told Old Man Jiang about his situation.
Old man Jiang pondered, his daughter has not yet been married, this young man is enthusiastic and honest, and he also saved his daughter, he has no relatives at home, and he happened to be recruited to be a son-in-law, Old man Jiang directly told Teng Yunfei his thoughts.
Teng Yunfei didn't tell Old Man Jiang that he only had three days of longevity before, so he had to tell Old Man Jiang truthfully that he still had things to do today, and if he finished doing things, he would come back tomorrow, and if he didn't come back tomorrow, he wouldn't have to wait, and he wouldn't come back in this life.
Old man Jiang wanted to keep him, but seeing that Teng Yunfei was resolute, he couldn't force him to stay.
Teng Yunfei set off again, and finally arrived at Yunshan at night, he found a big stone, and waited for the little ghost to come and take his life, wait, wait, and he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, black and white impermanence appeared, and was about to detain Teng Yunfei's soul, when suddenly the judge appeared, he stopped black and white impermanence, and said: "His yang life has not arrived, and he can't be detained, originally his yang life is over today, but he crossed the river with his ancestors and grandchildren, increased his life for ten years, looked at the grave for others, increased his life for twenty years, saved people's lives, and increased his life for thirty years." ”
Teng Yunfei woke up the next day and found that he was alive and well, he didn't know why, since he didn't die, he went to Old Man Jiang's house, he promised to go back before.
When he arrived at Old Man Jiang's house, Old Man Jiang was very happy and married his daughter to Teng Yunfei, who became Old Man Jiang's son-in-law and lived a happy life with his daughter.
Ji Xingwang is a monkey artist, walking the streets and alleys to play monkeys for a living, originally relied on monkeys to eat, should treat monkeys well, but he is short-tempered, treat the monkeys who make money for themselves without mercy, once one day is in a bad mood, or the monkey is a little disobedient is a beating, sometimes the monkey performance is not good to use a rattan whip, for Ji Xingwang to perform for several monkeys are scarred by his abuse, skinny.
Sometimes I met a kind-hearted person who advised Ji Xingwang to treat the monkey better and not to beat him at every turn, but Ji Xingwang didn't care: "My monkey, I can fight as much as I want, can you control it?"
When well-wishers heard him say this, they had no choice but to shake their heads helplessly and leave.
One day, Ji Xingwang took the monkey out to perform again, and came to a prosperous place, where there was a lot of traffic and people came and went.
Ji Xingwang thought to himself that it was here, there were a lot of people, so he struck the gong a few times, attracted people over, and began to perform, one of which was a monkey snatching the bell in Ji Xingwang's hand to make the audience laugh, but this monkey has been beaten by Ji Xingwang for a long time, and there is a shadow in his heart, and he dare not get close to Ji Xingwang today, let alone snatch the bell in his hand.
Ji Xingwang took the bell and shook it at the monkey several times, the monkey just didn't cooperate, he was angry, picked up the rattan and whipped it towards the monkey, and it was pumping on the monkey's head, and the monkey squeaked in pain, holding his head and rolling on the ground.
The audience was still quite interested, but when they saw Ji Xingwang abusing the monkey like this, they couldn't bear it and accused him one after another.
Many people left immediately, and the onlookers instantly decreased by more than half, Ji Xingwang saw that he was afraid that he would be busy again today, and his heart was even more angry, and he used a rattan to split his head and cover his face and beat the monkey.
The monkey began to scream violently, and while screaming, he put his hands together and bowed to Ji Xingwang, and then he was beaten and dying, and could only lie on the ground and wail weakly.
At this time, one of the onlookers in a Taoist robe couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to dissuade him: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid this monkey will be beaten to death by you, it has begged you bitterly, why do you want to beat him to death so ruthlessly!"
"Yo, where did this come from, don't stay in the Taoist temple and run around here, I can fight if I like, I can fight if I want, my monkey, I am willing, do you care!" Ji Xingwang said arrogantly.
"Smack!"
Ji Xingwang shone on the monkey and whipped again, "Hey, it's just beating, are you angry, are you angry?"
Ji Xingwang said to the Taoist as if he was provocatively beating a monkey.
This Ji Xingwang was busy all day today, and he didn't restrain himself from killing the monkey in anger, even if the monkey lived, I am afraid that he will not be able to perform anymore, and it will cost a lot of money to buy another monkey.
Ji Xingwang was on fire in his heart, and when he saw this Taoist coming forward to talk, he was angry with the Taoist and simply planned to beat this monkey to death and angry this Taoist person.
"You ......"
The Taoist didn't expect Ji Xingwang to be so rude, and he was angry, snorted heavily, and walked away.
Ji Xingwang saw that the Taoist was not lightly angry, and showed an expression of relief, so he was satisfied with the props of the performance and went home, leaving only the monkey on the ground who was about to be killed to let out a weak moan.
Ji Xingwang was lying on the bed after returning home, thinking about where to get another monkey, a wave of sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep unconsciously, hazy, feeling that a "person" was coming to him and covered his face.
Ji Xingwang felt a little itchy, so he reached out and scratched his face, this scratch didn't matter, he actually touched a lot of hair.
He woke up frightened at first, and at first thought he had a strange dream, but when he touched it again, his face was really covered with hair, and his body was full of hair, and he turned into a monkey.
Ji Xingwang was frightened and frightened, and suddenly heard the sound of laughter, and looked closely, only to see a man with a thunderous mouth standing in the room, hunched back, shrunken hands, and his nose was flat and collapsed, like a monkey, but it was a human skin.
The strange man was staring at Ji Xingwang fiercely, and the organs on his face were twisted together, as if he was laughing, making a strange sound.
Ji Xingwang's scalp was numb when he was watched, he held back his fear, got out of bed and wanted to run, but the strange man took out a whip and hit him on Ji Xingwang's head.
Ji Xingwang was in unbearable pain, covered his head and fell to the ground and couldn't get up, the strange man took out a rope around his neck and tied it to a pillar in the backyard.
Ji Xingwang wanted to call for help, but he could only make a squeaky monkey sound, wanted to escape but forgot how to untie the rope, he could only pull the rope like an animal, how could he pull it off, the strange man looked at him with great interest, looked at it for a while, probably tired of seeing, a whip was drawn to Ji Xingwang's body, and he quickly held his head and hid behind the pillar in pain.
Since then, the strange man has taken Ji Xingwang's monkey out to perform monkey tricks every day, just like Ji Xingwang used to lead the monkey to perform, and he will be beaten, whipped, and kicked if he has a slight mistake.
Ji Xingwang was beaten and trembled and frightened when he saw the strange man, and in less than half a year, he was tortured to the bone, and the hair on his body was whipped and turned off, revealing whip marks.
Finally, in the course of a performance, Ji Xingwang was whipped again for dissatisfying the stranger, he was whipped all over his body and fell to the ground, because this time the beating was too serious, Ji Xingwang gradually lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing on a busy street, surrounded by many people, and a dying monkey lying at his feet.
Ji Xingwang looked dazed, wasn't he dead, how could he come back to life again? Moreover, isn't he a monkey, how did he become a human?
Ji Xingwang touched his face, but there was not a single monkey hair.
Suddenly, Ji Xingwang remembered that he was originally a human! And this is the place where he took the monkey to perform, it turned out that he didn't go home at all, nor did he become a monkey, and everything that happened after that was not real, Ji Xingwang looked at the crowd, and the Taoist was gone.
Ji Xingwang took the monkey home, applied gold sore medicine to the wound, and within a few days, the monkey recovered, and he released the monkey back into the mountains.
Although everything he experienced was fake, Ji Xingwang was worried every day, the fear of being beaten and the pain of being whipped were like the real thing, which made him unforgettable, and he still has palpitations.
Only by experiencing it himself did he understand how much pain his past behavior had caused to the monkeys, and Ji Xingwang let all the monkeys go, and never performed monkey tricks since.
