And the right minister, Abe, is the master, and his family is rich in wealth and prosperous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He wrote a letter to Wang Qing, who was on a Chinese trading ship that had been imported to Japan that year, asking him to buy a fire rat fur.

He chose a shrewd and capable man from among the attendants, named Ono Fang Mamoru, and asked him to deliver the letter to Wang Qing. The housekeeper went to Hakata, where the trading ship was anchored, presented the letter, and paid a sum of money.

Wang Qing got the letter, so he replied to him like this:

"Fire rat Qiu, I don't have this thing in China or China. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. If there is such a thing in the world, then your country should have a foreign thing. If you have never seen it, then I am afraid that there is no such thing in the world. ”

"In short, what Your Excellency has asked is the most difficult of the difficulties. However, in the unlikely event that Zhu came to China one day, it would be unknown whether the contemptible people could ask the two or three richest men in our country, or obtain it with their help. If there is nothing like this in the world, then the payment for the goods should be paid back in full to the person who handed it over. I hereby reply. ”

Wang Qing took Ono Fang Shou and returned to China and China. A few months later, his ship came to Japan again. Mamoru Onobo took the ship back to Japan and was about to enter Beijing.

The master of Abe was anxious, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly sent someone to greet him with a fast horse. Fang Shou quickly whipped his horse, only walked for seven days, and had come to the capital from Tsukushi. He brought a letter in which he wrote:

"Fire Rat Fur, I've sent people around to buy it. It is said that this thing is not easy to see in the present world or in ancient times. But I heard that there were holy monks in Tianzhu who came to China and China and kept them in the far west temple. ”

"This is what the imperial court has to buy, and it is easy to buy it. When I went to buy it, the clerk said that the money was not enough, so I immediately made up for it and finally bought it. Fifty taels of gold should be paid in advance, and you will return it immediately. If you are not willing to pay this amount, please return the qiu. ”

When the master of Abe received this letter, he smiled and said, "How can you say this! Money is insignificant, how can it not be repaid! Of course I will return it. Ah, what a joy it is for me to get the fur! While rejoicing, he folded his palms and thanked the Chinese and Chinese sides.

The box containing the fire rat fur is embedded with many beautiful precious jades. The fur is cyan blue. The tip of the fur glows golden. If this fur is dirty, it can be burned in the fire, and after burning, it will be cleaner.

But this fur fire is not bad, and secondly, it is the beauty of its color. This thing is just to look at, and I think it is a precious treasure. Master Abe looked at this Qiu and sighed, "Kaguya-hime wants to get this thing, it's not unreasonable. Yes! Creation and creation! So he put the fur in the box and decorated it with flower branches.

Immediately afterwards, he dressed up himself, thinking that he could stay at Kaguyahime's house tonight, and went out proudly. At this point, chant a poem and put it in the box. The poem says: "Love is like fire, you can't burn this Qiu." After years of wet sleeves, today's tears are closed. ”

Master Abe is standing in front of Kaguya's house. Knocking on the door for inquiry, the old man came out, took the box of the fire rat Qiu, and took it in to show Kaguya. Kaguya looked at it and said, "Ah! How beautiful this is! However, it is not known whether it is really a fire rat fur. The old man replied, "What else is true or false!" Hide it in the box. This is a rare Qiu in the world, and you have to believe that it is real. It's really not okay to be suspicious of others like you. ”

The old man said this, and went to invite the master of Abe to come in. He thought she would be willing to meet this man this time. Of course the old man thinks so, and even the old woman thinks so. The old man often lives alone because Kaguya has no husband, and feels very pitiful. So I hope to find a good man and reunite her husband and wife.

But this girl refused to do anything, and he couldn't force her. Kaguya said to the old man, "Put this Qiu in the fire and burn it." If it can't be burned, it's the real fire rat fur, and I'll obey his orders. You say that this is a rare Qiu in the world, and you are sure that it is real. Well, it has to be burned. ”

The old man said, "It makes sense for you to say that. He suddenly changed his mind and conveyed Kaguyahime's words to the minister.

The minister said: "This Qiu, there is no one in China or China, I did everything possible to get it." About it

quality, what else is there to doubt? Since you say so, hurry up and take it and burn it. "As soon as this fur was put into the fire, it immediately burned to the ground! Kaguya said, "Look, it's a fake fur. When the minister saw this, his face turned blue like a blade of grass.

On the other hand, Kaguya was so happy that she hurriedly composed a poem, put it in the box containing it, and returned it to the master of Abe. The poem says: "The fake Qiu is burned by fire and immediately turns into dust." It seems like such a mediocre thing, why bother! So, the minister had no choice but to go back quietly. The people outside asked, "I heard that Minister Abe brought a fire rat fur, and he became Kaguyahime's husband, and he has come to this house." I guess I lived here. ”

Someone else replied, "No, no!" The fur burned in the fire, and it burned out with a crackle, so Kaguya drove him away. "The whole world knows about it. From then on, everything that could not be done in Japan was called "Master Abe." ”

After that, it was the great companion of the Otomo Goyuki, who gathered all the family members of the family together and said to them, "There is a piece of jade on the dragon's head that glows with five colors. Whoever obtains it, I will give you whatever you want. ”

Those who heard this said, "I am very thankful for my master's command." However, this piece of jade is probably a treasure that is difficult to obtain. How can you get the jade on the dragon's head? The men were all grunting and crying bitterly.

So he said, "Those who are family members must give up their lives in order to fulfill the wishes of their masters." This is the duty of the family! Besides, the dragon is not something that our country does not have and is special to Tang Tu and Tianzhu. On the seaside mountains of our country, dragons often climb up and down. How do you say it's difficult? ”

The family replied, "Well, there is no way." No matter what kind of treasure it is, let's go for it as we are told. ”

Da Nayan looked at their expressions and said with a smile: "That's right." My companion's family, who are famous all over the world, will they disobey my master's orders? ”

So the family went out to look for the jade on the dragon's head. He took out all the silk, brocade, and gold from his family and gave them to these family members for their travel expenses. Then he said to them, "When you go out, I will eat fasting and pray until you return." If you can't get this jade, you won't be allowed to come back to me!" ”

The family listened to the master's instructions and went out lazily one by one. They all thought: "The master said that if he could not get the beads from the dragon's head, he would not be allowed to come back here." But this thing can't be taken at all. They each scattered as they pleased.

All the family cursed the master, saying that he was curious. They distribute what their owners give them at will. Some took their things and went back to their hometowns. Some went elsewhere as they pleased. They all slandered Da Nayan and said: Whether it is the father or the master, such nonsense makes us have no choice.

Da Nayan was completely unaware of this. He said, "The ordinary house for Kaguya is too decent. "I hurriedly built a special house: the four walls of the interior were painted, decorated with cloisonne kilns, and painted with various colors. The roof is also dyed in various colors, and various beautiful bands are hung. Every room is covered with beautiful splendid wall clothes. and drove away his original wife and little wife. No matter what, he doesn't love it, and he's busy all day long preparing for Kaguyahime.

The family members who were sent out to fetch the jade on the dragon's head, regardless of the big name, waited day and night, and after the end of the year, until the next year, there was no news. Da Na was overwhelmed with anxiety, so he quietly took two attendants and traveled to Namba Port. When he saw a fisherman, he asked him,

"The family members of the Otomo Da Nayan family took a boat to kill the dragon and take the jade from its head, have you heard this news?"

The fisherman laughed, "Haha, what a strange thing you say! First of all, there is not a single boatman here who is willing to let the boat out in order to do this stupid thing. ”

When Da Nayan heard this, he thought to himself: "These boat owners are all unambitious. They didn't know how powerful my Otomo family was, so they said such timid things.

And he thought, "How strong is our bow!" As long as there is a dragon, you can shoot it to death with one arrow, and take the jade from its head, which is no problem. These family members have been indecided, and they have not come back until now, and I am here for a long time. ”

But after waiting for a long time to see his family, he hired a boat and cruised around the sea, gradually moving away, and unconsciously came to the beach of Tsukushi.

At this time, somehow, a great storm came, and it was dark, and it was blown to and fro by the wind, and to what point it was blown to, it was completely unknown. The wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing the boat to the middle of the sea.

The big waves crashed violently against the hull, and the boat was surrounded by the waves. Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed. It's a big promise, and it's helpless at this point. He sighed: "Alas! I've never suffered like this in my life. I don't know how! ”

The boatman wept and said, "I have been driving this ship to and fro for many years, and I have never encountered such a terrible situation. Even if the ship doesn't sink, the thunder and lightning on my head will kill me! Even if the gods and Buddhas blessed it, the ship would not sink and people would not die, but as a result, my ship would eventually be blown into the South China Sea. Alas! I didn't think of running into this eccentric hire, and it seemed that my fate was very tragic! ”

Da Nayan listened to him and said, "When you take a boat, the words of the boatman are the most reliable. Why do you say such unreliable words? As he spoke, he had unconsciously spat out green water from his mouth.

The boat said, "I'm not a god or Buddha, so what can I do?" I've been used to the wind and waves for many years. But this thunder and lightning must be the reason why you want to kill the dragon. This storm must have been brought by the dragon god. Hurry up and pray! ”

When Da Nayan heard this, he suddenly said, "Ah, yes, what you said is. Then he prayed loudly: "Nan Wu Boat Spirit Daming Bodhisattva!" Please listen to the warning: the villain is ignorant and daring, and it is a great crime to dare to plot to kill the dragon! From now on, I dare not damage the divine body, please forgive, I am afraid of it. ”

He said it aloud, sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, sometimes weeping, a thousand times. Maybe that's really the reason, at this time, the thunder actually gradually stopped. The sky was getting brighter, but the wind was still blowing violently.

The funato said, "Ah, it seems that the storm just now came from the Dragon God Bodhisattva. The wind is in good direction now, it is a tailwind, not a headwind. We can ride the wind back home. ”

But Da Nayan was already frightened, and he didn't believe the boatman's words anyway.

The wind continued to blow for three or four days, and it seemed to blow the ship to its original place. I don't know that when I look at the shore, this is the shore of the Akashi region of Harima Province.

But Da Nayan always thought that when he arrived at the coast of the South China Sea, he was so tired that he lay down in the boat. The two attendants he brought with him went ashore to report to the local yamen.

Yamenli specially sent personnel to offer condolences. However, Da Nayan could not get up, and lay straight at the bottom of the boat. I had no choice but to spread a mat under the pine trees on the coast, and lay down on the mat.

At this time, the Great Nayan Party knew that this was not an island in the South China Sea. It was with great difficulty that he sat up. This person usually has some colds, and his expression will change drastically. At this time, his abdomen swelled, and his eyes were swollen like two plums.

Those personnel who were sent couldn't help but laugh when they saw such a big confession. After all, the appearance of being round and round because of the swelling is really a bit funny.

Da Nayan hurriedly asked the people in the yamen to prepare a sedan chair for him and sat home. The family members he sent out to fetch the jade on the dragon's head in the past, I don't know where to know the news, now they all came back and said to him:

"We didn't dare to come back because we couldn't get the jade from the dragon's head. Now, the adults themselves are fully convinced that this thing is difficult to take, and they will not punish us, so they have returned. ”

Da Nayan stood up and said to them, "The jade on the dragon's head, no wonder you can't get it." It turns out that the dragon is the same as Thor. And I told you to go and take the jade from its head, as if to kill you, many of your families. If you catch this dragon, even I will be killed. ”

"It's a good thing you didn't catch the dragon. I guess this is a plot arranged by Kaguya, the bad guy, to try to kill us. I will never go to her house again. Do not go to her. ”

So he rewarded the brocade and gold left in his family to the family members who could not get the jade on the dragon's head.

His former divorced wives almost burst into laughter when they heard the news. The multicolored ribbons hanging on the roofs of the newly built houses were also used as nests by harrier eagles and crows.

People in the world say, "I heard that the Great Companion went to get the jade from the dragon's head, but he didn't get it, and he came back with two plums on his eyes." Ah, I can't bear it! ”

From then on, anyone who does unreasonable things is also called "Ah, I can't bear it!" in Japan. (To be continued.) )
