Legend has it that once upon a time, people do not die, and all things are eternal. So why did he die later? Why do you become a ghost after death? How did "Lord Yama" come about? It turns out that there is a legend here!

There is a land in the east of the earth, where there are many people, who are industrious, kind, and live very happily. But the good days didn't last long, and disaster befell them.

One night, the sky suddenly cracked, the river swelled, and they swallowed up villages like a pack of hungry beasts. The next day, the survivors, after the flood waters receded, found many bodies with their eyes closed, their limbs stiff, and their bodies cold. People tried everything they could, but they couldn't bring them back to life. From then on, people will die.

But the disaster is not over, and worse things are yet to come. When people came to the fields to plow, they found that the fields no longer grew crops. What's going on here? It turned out that there was a god in the heavens, and when he saw that people's lives were so happy, he became jealous, so he caused this catastrophe, and also destroyed the "immortal membrane" of the human body. People can no longer live forever, and their bodies become so fragile that they die after living for more than ten years.

In the face of this tragic scene, a young man is determined to find a way to save humanity. His name was Yama. Yama Luo has no father and mother since he was a child, and he was picked up and adopted by an old man from the wild. The old man did not escape the catastrophe either. This made Yama even more determined to save the people who were suffering from the disaster.

Yama walked all the way south, and at first it was a little better, but later it became more and more difficult and it became so difficult that he had to walk around it. There was a husband, on a hill, who met

A ferocious tiger sprang out. The hungry tiger, as soon as he saw someone in front of him, pounced. At that time, the tiger was very powerful, much more powerful than the tiger is now. Yama fled as fast as he could, the tiger in hot pursuit. In the end, Yama got into a mountain crevice, and the tiger didn't have a head to get into it. It's getting narrower and narrower, and it actually stuck the tiger inside. Although the tiger was rescued later, it no longer had so much strength, and it is said that it was tired by Yama, which is not mentioned for the time being.

Besides, Yama was so tired that he fainted, and I don't know how long it took, but he slowly woke up, and he had no strength at all, so he had to crawl forward. When he climbed out of the crevice, he saw something ahead

A golden light, the golden light changed color, flashing and flashing, it was very beautiful. Yama was so happy that he leaned in with all his might, but the golden light always kept him from getting closer.

Yama fainted again. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the soft grass, surrounded by flowers, and the bright red sun shone on him, and he felt extremely comfortable and inexhaustible.

Yama climbed up and walked along the path to the top of the mountain, where there was a courtyard. Yama knocked on the door, and an old man came out of it. Yama explained that he knelt down and begged the old man to save "the suffering human beings." After listening to this, the old man didn't say anything, closed the door and walked to another old man in the house: "He's here." ”

"Then let's do what we want!"

"Good!"

The old man who had opened the dinging came out again. He said to Yama, "Go over this hill, there is a cave there, and there is a little poisonous snake in the cave, kill it and take a bowl of snake blood." With that, he closed the door.

Yama saw that there was no choice but to do what the old man said.

Who are these two old men? It turned out that the Emperor of Heaven had already known about this disaster that had happened to mankind and punished the god who had done evil. But he still doesn't know whether people's hearts are good and honest or cunning and evil. So he sent two gods to give it a try, and then see if he could be saved. As soon as these two gods stepped out of the realm, they ran into Yama. So they decided to give the young man a try.

Yama walked another day, crossed the hill, crossed the creek, and found the cave that the old man had spoken of on a steep cliff, and he climbed up the cliff and got into it. It was pitch black in the cave. He took a deep foot and a shallow foot, held on to the wall of the cave, and walked towards the cave with a little nail point.

After a while, two points of green light suddenly appeared in front of him, and the green light approached him little by little. Yama was nervous. The green light lunged at him, and he ducked. Suddenly, the cave was bright, and it turned out that the snake often crawled out of the hole and swam, and the night pearl that it came back from was shining.

Yama had seen clearly at this time that the green light was the eyes of the little green snake. Besides, this little green snake is cyan all over, and there is a little bit of white in the cyan. It is said to be a small green snake, but in fact, this snake is also two zhang long, it raised its head, opened its big mouth, and pounced straight at Yama.

With his bare hands, Yama had no choice but to dodge, and suddenly tripped over a stone, stumbled, fell to the ground, and was cut by a sharp stone. This time, it reminded him. So he got up, grabbed the stone, and threw it at the snake again and again, and it hit the snake's eye, and the little green snake suddenly became blind. At this time, the body of the green snake also swept over, and Yama was thrown on the rock, and suddenly his eyes were full of gold stars. He endured the pain, grabbed a stone and smashed it on the head of the green snake, and the green snake fell to the ground and could not get up again, and Yama also fell to the ground.

When he woke up, he was very happy to see the green snake beside him. He found a sharp stone, cut open the snakeskin, filled it with a bowl of snake blood, and walked out of the cave.

On the way, he met an old woman, and when the old woman saw Yama coming with snake blood, she stopped him and said to Yama, "This snake blood is hard to find in the sky and hard to find in the earth."

If you drink it, you will become an immortal, so that you will not suffer sins in the world. But Yama was unmoved, and had only one belief, to save the people who were in trouble. Zi is he didn't even look at her, but still hurried.

But the old woman followed behind him, and persuaded him vigorously, and Ge Luo saw that there was really no way, so he had to say: Old man, if I were for myself, I wouldn't have come here with all the hardships. Yin didn't look back after speaking, and walked forward.

He took the snake's blood and returned to the hut he had been before. The two old men stood in the courtyard, smiled at him and nodded, "Good! We've got you covered. After saying that, he rose into the air, moved mountains and filled in ravines, leveled the land into fields, withdrew the seeds to all corners of the earth, and it rained again, and then he fished in front of Pero and said to Yama, "If people do not die, we can do nothing." Only by relying on human price to find another way to live forever in the exercise! ”

They rode the auspicious clouds again and returned to the Heavenly Palace to resume their lives.

After listening to the words of the two gods, the Emperor of Heaven was very happy, so he became an immortal and let him eat the life and death of the world. But then Yama became arrogant, and always thought that people owed him something, so he started to do wrong. The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he found out, but he still had some credit, so he demoted him by one level and became a ghost as people say. Although Yama Luo was demoted by one level, he still did his old job, but he didn't dare to do anything wrong. From then on, because people came to him after death, people called him "Lord Yama".
