【056】Legend (3)

Zhong Kui is a scholar, his family is poor, and he is willing to be ordinary but not willing to be mediocre. There is no idea of giving up on oneself, but working hard and reading poetry and books. I want to win the championship in one fell swoop and change the historical status quo of my father's life.

Born in poverty, although he has read poetry and books since he was a child, he has outstanding talents. However, his appearance is extremely ugly, and he does not have the elegant temperament of a scholar. It was because of this ugly appearance that he suffered speechless discrimination in the imperial examination room.

For these blank eyes and discrimination, Zhong Kui laughed at them. With his extraordinary talent, he passed all the way and finally passed the palace examination.

Today is the day of the face king, although Zhong Kui was born to be a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is still a little nervous.

Emperor Tang Ming bathed and changed his clothes early, and he wanted to try to win the champion Zhong Kui today. The majestic guard of honor entered the main hall in a mighty way, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and Zhong Kui, the champion of the new department, came to the palace to test.

In the past, the champions who came to the palace examination were all handsome, personable, and extraordinary young men. Now this new champion should not be far behind!

The champion of the new department listened to the announcement outside the hall on time.

The great eunuch in the hall shouted: "Xuan! The new champion entered the hall ...... "The voice is sharp and long!" It echoed in the huge Jinluan Hall for a long time.

As soon as Zhong Kui heard that he had entered the hall, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and strode into the hall. After entering, he bowed his head slightly in fear, not daring to look directly at the tall Tang Minghuang.

"His Royal Highness is Zhong Kui?" The questioner was naturally Emperor Tang Ming.

Emperor Tang Minghuang is majestic and has a literary temperament, which Zhong Kui did not expect, just when he hurriedly glanced up. was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, which set off his extremely ugly appearance like a black charcoal face.

Why is Zhong Kui so ugly? Not only was Emperor Tang Ming stunned and twisted his head, covering the ugly monster who was kneeling with his Royal Highness with a wide sleeve. Even the civil and military officials on both sides of the table were stunned, and then began to whisper.

Tyre! How can I let such an ugly person stand in the Jinluan Palace? Let him ride through the streets and alleys of the capital to celebrate the joy of high school champions. Isn't it going to attract all kinds of criticism and make people laugh at it? Emperor Tang Ming covered his sleeves and covered his face, and thought to himself.

It cannot be tolerated, only canceled! Tang Minghuang thought so. In front of all the ministers, with a stroke of the pen, he cancelled his admission qualification in a child's play. Ten years of suffering from the cold window came to naught in an instant.

Zhong Kui, who had a strong personality, was stunned as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts...... He staggered, almost falling, and exited the Golden Luan Palace. Suddenly, there was a sharp turn, and he slammed head-on into a huge round stigma......

"Oops!" With an exclamation, there was a touch of blood red on the pillar, and Zhong Kui, who had died of exhaustion, fell on the ground.

"Bad luck!" Emperor Tang Minghuang brushed his sleeves away, secretly feeling uneasy. He really didn't expect that this ugly-looking new champion Zhong Kui also had such extraordinary temperament. was actually in the main hall, and he died on the spot!

Du Ping (Xiao Ming) regretted not being at the beginning, and they all admired Zhong Kui's iron-clad manhood. Secretly, he pooled money to comfort Zhong Kui's old parents. Send his body back to Zhongnan Mountain and bury it on the top of the mountain, so that you can look in the direction of the capital. It was his lifelong dream, and may his spirit rest in heaven.

may be due to heart disease, since Zhong Kui's unjust death, Tang Minghuang has been seriously ill, and he is always harassed by ghosts in his dreams and cannot sleep peacefully.

Late one night, the moon was shining. The wind outside suddenly rose, and the shadows of the trees were mottled and fluttering with the wind, just like the momentum of a fierce ghost with his teeth and claws...... Suddenly, he dreamed that a little ghost sneaked into the palace, stole his beloved musical instrument, and screamed wildly in the palace. He was so shocked that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he woke up gasping for breath, and he could no longer sleep peacefully.

From then on, every day at that hour, Emperor Tang Minghuang would be confused, as if he was asleep, and witnessed the ghost reappearing in a daze. and let out strange screams in front of him presumptuously, making all kinds of scary appearances. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he was soaked in sweat, and over time, his physical condition deteriorated.

After the diagnosis and treatment of many imperial doctors, Tang Minghuang's condition not only did not improve, but worsened. In the end, I couldn't go to the morning court to cook the government, and I lay in bed all day long, and fell asleep in a daze.

Du Ping (Xiao Ming) heard about this. knew that Zhong Kui's unjust death must be related, but it was inconvenient to go to the palace to tell the story. What he wanted at the moment was to get back to the real world as soon as possible. I don't know what happened to Master Zhong Kui, and I miss my family even more.

The fat king and the rich man who made a bet really gave a mansion and Du Ping (Xiao Ming), but he refused. He no longer had time to deal with these fox friends and dogs, looking around for Taoist priests who could do it, and wanted to ask how he could return to the real world.

This night, Emperor Tang Ming, who was seriously ill, did not think about eating. The face is like a vegetable, and the eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if they are asleep but not asleep. People are scared at a glance, the eunuchs come and go to convey their will, and the imperial doctors are waiting without untying their clothes.

In a daze, Emperor Tang Minghuang suddenly saw the little ghost, and the little ghost made all kinds of grimaces and squeaked and screamed. If he wants to do something bad to him, he is powerless, and he has no choice but to wait for this hateful little ghost to play tricks on him. In his frustration, he suddenly saw a blue-clothed figure descending from the sky. grabbed the imp, the imp squeaked and struggled vigorously. The more he struggled, the faster the man in blue tore, and after tearing, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Emperor Tang Minghuang suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and the strange disease was cured without treatment. When I was free, I thought carefully about the man in blue in my dream, and it turned out to be the ugly scholar Zhong Kui.

Thinking of the palace, he was unwilling to be humiliated, and would rather die with the integrity of his will. is really a rare good man in the world, but it's a pity that he judges people by his appearance, which spoils this person's wishes. To this day, this person not only did not hold grudges, but also rescued himself in his dreams. For various reasons, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty ordered the great eunuch to invite a painter to paint the statue of Zhong Kui and hang it inside and outside the palace in order to dispel evil spirits and keep peace.

When today's son respects Zhong Kui so much, how can the common people not follow him. Since then, Zhong Kui has become famous and has become a world-famous ghost hunter.

Du Ping (Xiao Ming) also bought a portrait of Zhong Kui, hung it high in the hall, and bowed three incense sticks a day.

In the real world, Master Zhong Kui once taught him a secret of burning incense. Someone may be going to say it; What is the secret of burning incense, isn't it just to burn it?

Wrong! There are many ulterior secrets to burning incense. Like what; The height in the middle of the three incense sticks or the height on the left side is an auspicious elephant, and if it is high on the right, it seems to be a fierce elephant! There are many, many more sayings, anyway, it depends on one side of the world!

Xiao Ming burned auspicious incense today! He was overjoyed, and suddenly let out a big sneeze! When you sneeze, is someone chattering, is it the master who is chattering, or is someone in the family chattering? He has no way of knowing for the time being, but in the real world, they are really anxious about Xiao Ming's current situation.
