Chapter 425: Unintentional Retribution
Yi Liuyun pondered in his heart, it was not easy for the old Taoist to practice for more than five hundred years, and his questions should also be asked. So he asked, "Dao Ancestor, why hasn't the old Dao Master become an immortal after practicing for more than five hundred years?"
Dao Ancestor told him that the old Dao Elder had his sword in his heart all day long.
Yi Liuyun thinks that the daughter of the head of the family is very pitiful, how can she marry if she can't speak?
So he called out and asked the third question: "Dao Ancestor, why can't the daughter of the head of the family speak?"
Daozu told him that if the mute girl saw her sweetheart coming, she would speak.
After speaking, Dao Zu suddenly disappeared.
Yi Liuyun came back to her senses, oops! I haven't asked my own question yet! Forget it, let's beg for a living.
So he hurried back, and Yiliuyun came to the river to see the old turtle, and the old turtle asked him anxiously.
Yi Liuyun said, "You cross the river first, and I'll tell you." ”
The old turtle crossed Eleyun to the opposite side, and Eleyun asked the old turtle, "Are you reluctant to carry the turtle shell on your back?" ”
The old turtle suddenly came to his senses, took off the turtle shell and gave it to Iryuyun, saying, "There are twenty-four night pearls in this, which are priceless treasures, and they are of no use to me, I will give them to you, thank you for helping me." ”
Soon the old turtle turned into a dragon and flew away.
Ezruyun took the twenty-four night pearls and hurried back.
He came to the mountain to see the old Taoist, and the old Taoist asked Yiliuyun anxiously. Yi Liuyun said, "Are you reluctant to practice the sword in your hand?"
As soon as the old Taoist heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and gave the sword to Iryuyun, and the old Taoist immediately flew away.
When Iryuyun came to the door of the head of the family, a girl suddenly ran out of it and shouted, "The person who asked the ancestor has returned." ”
The head of the family was surprised and delighted that his daughter could speak, so he married his daughter to Eleyun.
Yi Liuyun, who had nothing, finally failed to ask Dao Ancestor about his fate in person.
But all the answers are in the process: because "giving" is always happier than "taking"!
Three hundred years later, there are hundreds of flowers in the house, thousands of trees compete for green, and it is a vibrant scene. Yi Liuyun got up early in the morning, and according to his daily routine of cultivating immortals, he would meditate in the "Three Provinces Hall" every day, and then wash and eat.
On this day, Yiliuyun had just finished his luck, and suddenly heard a huge thunder sweeping across the sky, and then the lightning flashed, and the thunder bursted, and suddenly a dark cloud rose, quite a thunderstorm coming.
Yiliuyun stepped out of the "Three Provinces Hall", looked up at the sky, and felt that today was a little abnormal, so he pinched his fingers and calculated: "Well, there will be demons." ”
While he was thinking, he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman in a yellow shirt kneeling in front of him panting, prostrating and bowing, saying, "Yixian, please save me!" the woman said with tears in her eyes.
"Who are you?" asked Iryuyun with a straight face.
The beautiful woman in the yellow shirt trembled and said to Yiliuyun: "I, I am a fox spirit, I have been cultivating for two thousand years, and I am about to achieve the right result, so I have experienced this catastrophe." Lei Gong and Lei Po want to kill me, please be merciful to the immortals and save my life." The vixen prostrated as he spoke.
"All demons must be eliminated, didn't I save you from a carbuncle relic?" Yi Liuyun reprimanded sternly.
"According to the immortals, I am not sorry to die, but I am pregnant and will give birth soon. Heaven has killed me, but the baby in my womb is innocent......" The fox spirit cried silently.
After listening to the cry of the fox spirit, Yi Liuyun felt pity and thought: "All things are born and there are living beings. As disgusting as the vixen is, the orphan babies in her womb cannot be strained. If the fox spirit can change from evil to good, isn't it also a righteous act?"
So, pointing to the vixen, he said, "If you want me to rescue you, you can, but you must follow three things."
The vixen kowtowed and asked, "What are the three things?"
Eleuyun replied, "First, you must fast and refrain from harming other animals, second, you must choose a place to live in seclusion and not harass the people; third, you must be ordained humanely, chant sutras in the morning and evening, change evil from good, and do good deeds for the people." ”
The vixen swore an oath: "I will do it, and I will never violate it." If there is disobedience, he is willing to die."
Seeing that she had repentance, Yi Liuyun called her to stand up and take the ordination, and then led several Taoist disciples to the ancestral hall to burn incense and light candles, and sent a message to the heavenly court to explain the reason for pardoning the fox spirit.
After receiving Yi Liuyun's "Proclamation Document", Heavenly Court ordered Lei Gong and Lei Po to collect their troops and return home, so that they didn't have to look for fox spirits.
After a while, the sky was clear again. It presents a scene of blue sky and spring.
The fox spirit said goodbye to Yiliuyun with great gratitude, and since then he has lived in seclusion in Yuntai Mountain in his ear, feeding on mountain fruits and concentrating on cultivation.
Soon gave birth to a white and chubby little girl, named "Little White Fairy".
More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the matter of Eliyun's rescue of the fox spirit has been forgotten by the world.
Then there was a flood in the river, and then there was a plague after the flood.
Many people died of the plague, and the people were terrified.
Many ordinary people came to the outside of Yiliuyun Mansion in groups and asked him to "ward off evil spirits".
Iryuyun took a few mages to look around, and found that it was not a demon, but a spread of "mountain rash qi". If left untreated, it will soon spread, and I don't know how many people will die.
Eleuyun is well versed in medicine and knows that the best cure for this disease is "spider plant". However, "spider plants" grow in cliff caves, which are difficult to climb and pick.
Although many people were sent to pick "spider plants", they couldn't pick a few catties a day, and they were far from extinguishing the plague. There is nothing to be done about Ezliuyun.
The next day, when everyone was still picking "spider plants", they suddenly saw a large group of foxes jumping like flying, and the "spider plants" were sent to the feet of Yiliuyun, and after a while, a few sacks of "spider plants" were sent.
The local people thought it was a manifestation of the immortals. Actually, Eleyuyun was also confused. Later, I thought about it carefully: "I once saved a fox spirit, guessing that it may be a fox fairy to repay the favor." ”
He immediately sent someone to decoct the "spider plant" into a potion and give it to the patient to take, and sure enough, the medicine was cured.
Later, someone inscribed a poem to praise and say: "The immortals have miraculous merits, a dose of Danfang disease is eliminated, the victims are given shell coins, and the merits of real people are forever praised."
In fact, only Yi Liuyun and a few mages knew about the fox's reciprocation.
It is said that later Yiliuyun also went to Yuntai Mountain to find the fox fairy in person to express his gratitude, but I don't know if he found it.
More than 40 years later, one year, there was a severe drought in the north, and there was no harvest, and it is said that there were still hot deaths in the north, and even the royal family fell ill due to the heat. The hundred officials invited the king, and they all said that it was a "demon" to make a mistake, and it was necessary to invite the immortals to come in order to eliminate the demons.
Yi Liuyun received the king's intention and quickly entered the palace, but after checking around, except for the heat, he couldn't smell the demonic spirit at all.
If he can't find a "demon", he can't cast a "spell".
And the king's order is not easy to disobey, Yi Liuyun is so anxious that he is worried and restless.
In the attic, the night has been three watches, the moon and stars are scarce, the sky is cloudless, Yiliuyun can not sleep, a person meditates in the small garden.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman and a young girl like flowers and jade both came to the Heavenly Master and saluted him.
"Who are you, and I don't know what you have to say?" asked Eleus.
"Qiqi Yi Immortal, my mother and daughter are specially here to solve your problems. Are you worried about whether you can find a demon?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"Exactly, I don't know what the wise mother and daughter have planned?"
"This drought is not a demon's work, so you can't do anything about it. The reason is that the king killed the courtiers who worshipped the dragon king, and the dragon king was furious, so there was this disaster. According to the immortals, the king can play the royal sacrifice of the deceased ministers to eliminate grievances. My mother and daughter should sneak into the East China Sea and beg the dragon king for rain to repay the kindness of Yiliuyun. After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they immediately turned into a pair of foxes and flew away.
