Chapter 186: Laziness Kills
"Can you die if you're lazy?" I will be skeptical.
The cigarette immediately burned to the filter, but Grandpa still took a hard puff, then pressed the filter with his thumb and middle finger, and with a flick of his fingers, the filter flew out. Grandpa licked his lips, as if reminiscing about the smell of smoke just now.
He said, "Didn't the Seven Fairies tell him that boiling one piece of rice can keep him from going hungry for a month?" But the lazy Dong Yi thought it was too troublesome to cook one in January, so he simply poured all the rice in the small bag into the pot at one time. Cooking like this, a mountain of rice was cooked. Dong Yi was so happy that he simply sat on the rice mountain and ate and slept, woke up and ate again, and lived a life like a pig. If he eats like this until he gets old, it will be fine, and it will not arouse the hatred of the Seven Fairies and the Ghost Valley. ”
"Arouse the hatred of the Seven Fairies and the Ghost Valley?"
"Yes. Dong Yi was afraid of the sun and night dew, so he dug a hole in the rice mountain and lived in the hole. Unexpectedly, Iiyama loosened and crushed Dong Yi, who was lazy and lazy, in the hole. When the Seven Fairies heard about this, they hated the Ghost Valley so much that they complained to the Jade Emperor. As soon as the Jade Emperor heard the words of the Seven Fairies, he immediately patted the dragon case and said, there is such a powerful person in the mortal world, who can guess everything in the heavens without any difference, and this is worth it! ”
Hearing this, I don't believe in the truth of the story. However, there are many myths that may not be myths in the mouth of the first person, but things that actually happened. But through word of mouth, in order to attract the attention of the listeners, the story became more and more exaggerated, and finally became a myth. For example, this "this is repaid" is a common mantra used by grandfathers when telling ancient stories, and it is obvious that neither the Seven Fairies nor the Jade Emperor will say "this is repaid". Although I do not believe in the truth of this story, I do believe that this story is not in the mouth of the first person. When the first person tells this story to the second person, it may be a little personal, but it will not be overshadowed by a strong myth.
Perhaps the true face of the story is that Guigu did leak the future to a certain person who came to ask for help, but good intentions did not necessarily lead to good things, and that person got into trouble and died. That person's mother then sued Guigu. That person is not necessarily called Dong Yi, and that person's mother is not necessarily a Seven Fairies. Perhaps in the process of transmitting this story, the storytellers subjectively substituted the names of Dong Yi and the Seven Fairies.
Grandpa continued to preach with undiminished interest: "So, the Jade Emperor sent the Dragon King of the East China Sea to the Ghost Valley to find out the truth. ”
I found a lot of similarities in other stories in the later episodes, which reminded me that many TV dramas have eight words in the opening credits: "If there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence." ”
Grandpa said: "The Dragon King of the East China Sea thought to himself, I don't believe that there is such a powerful mortal who can calculate everything. After the dragon king found the residence of Guigu, he stepped on the door with one foot, stepped into the door with one foot, and asked Guigu, Guigu, Guigu, Guigu, you can count all the things, then do you calculate whether I want to enter the door now, or go out? Guigu said, I said that if you want to go out, you will come in, and I said that if you come in, you will go out, so I won't say this, I will calculate the rain in our place for you. ”
"The Dragon King thought about it, the thunder and lightning are controlled by the Thunder Male and Lightning Mother, but the rain happens to be controlled by my Dragon King of the East China Sea, I want to see how you count the rain in the Ghost Valley. So the Dragon King of the East China Sea said, Then you can calculate the rain for me tomorrow. Guigu pinched his fingers and replied, tomorrow the shallow water in the city will run a floor, and the rainstorm outside the city will fall three liters. The Dragon King was shocked, this was exactly the rain order given to him by the Jade Emperor, and this mortal actually said it without any mistake. ”
"The Dragon King thought about it, I just want to run a layer of shallow water outside the city, and the heavy rain in the city will drop three liters, and it will embarrass your ghost valley when the time comes. The dragon king smiled and said to Guigu, if this is not the case tomorrow, your Guigu will never give people any more tricks. Guigu nodded in agreement. The next morning, the dragon king ran a layer of shallow water outside the city, and the heavy rain fell three liters in the city. After doing this, the dragon king hurriedly came to Guigu and forced Guigu to stop calculating. ”
"Guigu scolded the Dragon King, rain is a major event related to people's livelihood, although you are a dragon king, how can you change it without permission! Since the creation of Datang, it has been a prosperous era, and it has always been smooth wind and rain, abundant grains, and national peace and security. You deliberately turned the rain upside down, the crops outside the city were dry and died, and the floods inside the city drowned countless people. ”
"What's wrong with me? The Dragon King was puzzled. ”
"Guigu said that there is a minister named Wei Zheng in front of the emperor, who is a true god who is very concerned about the suffering of the people and specializes in killing evil and harmful ghosts and gods. This time you have caused so much pain to the people, he will not spare you. When the dragon king heard this, he was immediately frightened and lost his previous momentum, and hurriedly asked Guigu to help solve the problem. Guigu sighed and said, Wei Zheng, the minister, is different from other people, even the True Dragon Heavenly Son has to give him three points. It's impossible to get him to let you go. But you can beg the current emperor's mother, the Queen Mother, who is a kind person and may agree to help you. The Dragon King asked, how can the Queen Mother help me? ”
Guigu pinched his fingers and said, Wei Zheng only drives away evil and evil during the Dragon Boat Festival, so it is enough to ask the Queen Mother to keep Wei Zheng on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon King thanked the Ghost Valley and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother for help. The Queen Mother agreed. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Empress Dowager deliberately summoned Wei Zheng to play chess with her, so as to restrict Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng did not dare to disobey the will of the Empress Dowager and played chess with the Empress Dowager for a whole day. Seeing that in the evening, Wei Zheng fell asleep on the chessboard when he stopped playing chess in the middle. ”
When the Queen Mother saw that Wei Zheng was asleep, she didn't dare to wake him up, for fear that he would remember the Dragon King when he woke up. After a while, the Empress Dowager saw beads of sweat rolling on Wei Zheng's face. The Empress Dowager thought that Wei Zheng was feverish, and slapped him three times out of kindness. After three fans, Wei Zheng woke up and kowtowed to thank the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was puzzled. Wei Zheng said that the minister chased and killed the Dragon King of the East China Sea in his dream, but he did not catch up after chasing for a long time, and when he was panting and sweating, three gusts of treasure wind suddenly blew to help him catch up with the Dragon King and cut off the head of the Dragon King. ”
The Queen Mother sighed and regretted it.
Grandpa stopped. I asked, "Is that the end of it?" ”
Grandpa said: "Guigu no longer gives people calculations from now on, but he taught this method to a few blind people, and entrusted these blind people to teach other blind people, so that they can make a living." ”
