Who said that there is no retribution for good and evil in heaven and earth? Ten shell coins will change lives, and the so-called "blessings are immeasurable, and the world is the way of the world" is not an empty phrase.

Once Xuandu was extremely poor when he was a teenager, and often went without rice for several days.

In the year when Emperor Yao succeeded to the throne, he was also fortunate to be inducted.

On the street, a fortune teller who reasoned that fortune telling was very accurate, told him that before Bai Lu came, he was going to die of a catastrophe, and Xuandu was very depressed at that time.

Bai Lu was approaching, and several friends came to invite him to join the company.

Because of what the fortune teller said, he did not want to go, and refused on the pretext that there was no shell coins to entangle.

There was a Jiang Sheng, whose family was rich and very righteous, and he got along well with this Xuandu, and tried his best to persuade him to go with him, and said: "The words of the fortune teller are not enough to believe." If you're worried about not having shellfish, brother, I'll take it!"

took out ten shell coins and gave them to Xuandu and said: "This is for the purpose of settling down, and the luggage used on the road will be handled by me!

Xuandu was grateful for his generosity and went together.

At that time, it had been several days since the beginning of autumn.

Came to a Taoist temple, I heard that there is a physiognomist in the Taoist temple, talking about good fortune and misfortune, every time it is surprisingly accurate, the people who come to see the physiognomy are crowded like a busy city.

Xuandu and six friends who lived together went to see the photo.

The priest looked at the six of them and said which of them was a blessed student, who was a disaster student, who was a disaster student, whose parents were both complete, and whose parents were both dead, and he said it exactly right.

He also said that one of them went smoothly this time, and the others were not selected.

When it was Xuandu's turn, he first asked where he lived and how far away he was, and then he counted and said, "Hurry back, it's still too late!"

Everyone was puzzled, so they asked Xiangshi why.

Then he said, "Your countenance is withered, your spirit is vain, and there are obscure lines in the heavenly court, and according to the law, you will die in the next five days." You should hurry home, but according to each other, you should die on the road. Even if you leave immediately, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Jiang Sheng and everyone were shocked, and said, "Please take a closer look at Mr. again, is there a way to save me?"

Xiangshi said: "The great number of life and death, if there is no great yin virtue, it is not enough to return to the sky." Now that the date is pressing, what can be done!If from now on, in six days, this gentleman is still alive, I will never talk to anyone again!" Everyone was silent all the way back to their residence.

Xuandu said to Jiang Sheng: "My brother tried his best to persuade me to come. What the priest said today is exactly the same as the words of the fortune teller in the past, and it will be fulfilled. There will be death in life, and I am not afraid of death. But dying here, you will all suffer. It's better to rush back immediately, and there is still hope to die at home. ”

Roommates agreed.

Jiang Sheng took pity on him, hired a boat for him, gave him the passage fee, and gave him another ten shell coins, saying, "Keep this for emergencies." ”

Xuandu knew what he meant, and thanked him with a smile: "This is the funeral expenses that my brother gave me, and I dare not refuse." If I die and know, I will beg Hades to help my brother Gao Jie to thank you for your kindness!"

So I said goodbye to everyone and boarded the ship.

The boat had traveled more than ten miles on the river, and the wind was too strong to go any further, so the boat was tied to the shore and stuck there.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and the wind became more fierce, Xuandu thought to himself, the five-day deadline was approaching, and the ship could not go, and the prophecy of "Tao Death" seemed to be coming true.

At this moment, he was bent on waiting for death, all worries were empty, but he was suffering from loneliness and boredom, and could not be discharged, so he went ashore and wandered alone, about a mile or more, and there was no trace of people around.

Suddenly, I saw a middle-aged pregnant woman, with three young children, holding one in her left hand, pulling one in her right hand, and one behind her, crying while walking, very sad, and passed by Xuandu.

After walking a few steps, Xuandu suddenly thought to himself: "The riverbank is empty and uninhabited, and there are no households around, where is she going? Hurriedly asked.

The woman paid no heed.

Xuandu followed, and the woman turned back and scolded him.

Xuandu eagerly asked: "If you are really in trouble, please tell me, maybe I can help!"

The woman had no choice but to say, "I am unfortunate enough to marry a butcher, and I am so violent that I am often beaten and scolded, and I have no skin. Today he went to the market, and he had two pigs at home, and before he left, he told me that he wanted to sell it for ten shells. Later, someone came to buy it, and sure enough, I got ten shell coins, I was afraid that it was shell coins, so I went with him to find someone to verify it, and it was indeed shell coins. When he got home, the man suddenly thought it was expensive and asked for the shellfish back. After a while, I came back again, and I had to buy pigs with the original shell coins. I saw that there was nothing wrong with the shell, so I did not suspect it, and handed the pig over to him. ”

"The neighbor from the west came to my house, and when he saw the shell coin, he was surprised and said that it was fake, and I hurried out to find the buyer, but there was no one to be seen. Hurry up and find someone to verify it, and say it's fake, and I asked a few people in a row, and they all said it was fake shellfish. I thought to myself, after this big deception, my husband must be beaten to death when he comes back. Anyway, it's better to die under the whip than to die in the water. All three children were born to me, and mother and son died together, so that they would not be reproached by the wicked father. ”

Xuandu was very uncomfortable after hearing this, and asked for a look at the shell coin, and it was really fake.

At this time, the shell coin that Jiang Sheng gave happened to be in his sleeve, thinking that he was dying, what was the use of asking for this money.

He quietly swapped the shell coins in his sleeves and said to the woman: "You really almost made a big mistake! This is a real shell coin, how can it be fake!"

The woman said angrily: "Several people who have tested it have said that it is false, why do you want to coax me?"

Xuandu said: "No! Those appraisers deceived you into being a woman! If you go with me, they won't dare to say that." If it's really a fake shell coin, it's never too late to die!"

The woman listened to him, walked three or four miles together, and then found the appraiser, handed over the shell coins for verification, and said that they were genuine, and asked several people, and they all said that they were shell coins.

The woman was overjoyed and said, "Fortunately, I met Mr., otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake!" took the shell coin and thanked her.

Xuandu immediately hurried back.

It was nearly dusk, the twilight was vast, and I had walked less than a mile, lost my way, and had nowhere to inquire, and when I was hesitating, I saw a few houses faintly nearby.

When I got closer, I saw that it was all ruined and bald, and I knew that it was a ruined temple. had no choice but to squat under the eaves of the porch for a night.

I thought, the night is empty, and there is no trace, if there are fox spirits and wild ghosts to eat, it should be my place of death!

After running all day, I was extremely tired, and after sitting down, I fell asleep deeply.

In the haze, I heard the voice of the officials shouting.

Xuandu stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that the main hall was brightly lit, and the attendants on both sides stood bravely, and there was a king-like person sitting behind the hall in the middle, who seemed to be the king of Hades.

Suddenly, I heard the king of Yama say: "There is a person by the river today who saved five lives, and this person should be found out and given a blessing." ”

At that moment, there was a purple-clothed official, holding a scroll in his hand, and said: "I was declared by the land god just now, and I was a person who joined the company in a certain place. ”

Hades ordered to check the Lu book and check it again to see if he had succeeded in entering the job this time.

Another embroiderer, holding a book in his hand, stepped forward and said, "The officials and lives of the people are finished." He should have been crushed to death by the collapse of the wall under the corridor of this temple tonight. ”

King Hades said, "If this is the case, how can you persuade people to be good? Yesterday, Wenchang Palace informed that one of the recruits this time was removed from the list for lewd maids, so he asked this person to fill the vacancy. ”

Someone on the side: "His money was given by Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng's light wealth and righteousness made this person achieve good results." Tracing back to the source, Jiang Sheng should also be registered. ”

Hades said, "Yes!"

Xuandu was listening intently to the answer in the palace, when suddenly someone seemed to shout in his ear: "Get out quickly!

Woke up in shock, the body was still curled up under the eaves of the temple, it was dark all around, I couldn't see anything, I only heard the wall and soil falling down, I quickly got up, stumbled out in the dark, just took a few steps, the wall fell down, and it was pressing on the place where I was sitting.

So I had to stand there and wait for the dawn.

After dawn, Xuandu went to the temple to pay respects, and it was indeed the Temple of Hades.

After getting dressed and worshipping, he turned around and walked out of the temple and found his way back to the boat.

Meditating in his heart that the words of God would be fulfilled, he consulted with the boatmen and returned.

Have a good sail and it won't be long before you arrive.

When Xuandu came to the inn, everyone was surprised. Xuandu only said that the wind was blocked and he couldn't move forward, and he thought that the five-day period had passed, so he came back.

They asked, "Is there really any danger during the five days?"

Xuandu excused: "It's not without reason. Yesterday I occasionally went to the river to look at the river scenery and walked away from the boat. By the time I returned, it was dusk. The riverside was overgrown with reeds, and I tripped several times and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, the boatman came to look for him with a lantern, and he was able to return safely. But the silver bag in the sleeve has turned into a frog and flown away!"

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have great blessings." Getting lost by the river is probably a harbinger of employment!"

The next day, everyone in the same room said, "Today is the seventh day, and you are safe and sound." Let's all go to that scholar and mock him, what nonsense!"

Xuan didn't want to go, so everyone dragged him there together.

It was still crowded, so a few people squeezed through the crowd and pushed Xuandu in front of Xiangshi.

Xiangshi was talking to others, looked up and saw Xuandu, and said in surprise: "Aren't you the one I said should be killed within five days?"

Everyone said in unison, "Yes! It's been seven days today, how is it?"

Xiangshi said: "I won't die now." After not seeing him for a few days, his bones were very different from before, and his complexion suddenly improved. He must have done extraordinary good deeds and saved several lives, so that he could restore the power of creation. ”

Xuandu smiled and said, "Sir's words are really marginal! I am so poor that I have the power to save people?"

Xiangshi said: "Sir, don't lie to me! I said before that without the great yin virtue, you can't return to heaven." Today, you are full of yin and virtue, and if you go to work, you will definitely be in the middle of the job!"

He smiled again and said: "This incident is not accidental! Half a month ago, I looked at a person, and his eyebrows were extraordinary, and he must be the person who joined today." Yesterday he came to see his face again, but on his forehead there was a hanging needle pattern, that is, a broken line, and he had lost his former brilliance, and he must have had a great secret, and he did something unseemly, and his Lu book was cut off. Unexpectedly, it was you who replaced him. ”

He pointed at Jiang Sheng again and said, "Mr. also has a yin skull on his face, and he will definitely succeed in joining the company with this gentleman." ”

Jiang Sheng smiled: "What about my friend, I don't know." As for myself, where have I done any good deeds!"

Xiangshi said: "It is doing nothing that is called yinqi!"

Everyone rushed up, ridiculing the scholars to find excuses to avoid prevarication.
