The gold-rimmed glasses entered and the candle placed on the lampholder was lit, and under the bright halo was a large iron cabinet containing money, and the gold-rimmed glasses were unlocked again. At this moment, he put a cloth bag beside him, and when he opened the large iron cabinet to pour the coins in the cloth bag, he found that the cloth bag around him was missing. He quickly locked the big iron cabinet, for fear that there would be another mistake, and then shouted that there was a robber ...... in the pawn shop. Repeating it many times, his mind immediately came up with a similar scene that happened yesterday, but the place where the crime occurred was in the counter in the hall, and he was very confused about what happened.

When they heard the shouting, more than 20 people in the pawn shop went out together, with knives and drags, especially the two big men guarding the entrance of the gate, and immediately locked the door, and the back door was also latched by a housekeeper and put on a locked lock. There was a wooden ladder on the west side, and a pedestrian lowered it to the ground as if commanded. They lit torches and searched everywhere, and they talked about it: as long as the robbers do not go out, they will not escape.

Since taking away a bag of coins, Tao Qinghu did not dare to go fast, as soon as he walked fast, the coins in the bag would make a sound, but the action was not light and fast, he had to hold down the cloth bag hidden in the stealth suit, out of the dark room, and was about to flee to the back door, because the shouting of gold-rimmed glasses was tantamount to an alarm, the back door had already been locked, and then the front door was also hung with a "iron general". What made him even more panicked was that dozens of people in the line were on high alert, all of them holding weapons and looking for thieves all over the house.

At this time, the gold-rimmed glasses ran out and led a group of people to the dark room to search to no avail, so they locked the door of the dark room and searched the middle hall. Tao Qinghu had nowhere to escape, and hid under an account cabinet, just because he bowed in an instant, the coins in the cloth bag made a metal sound, and the gold-rimmed glasses that he was looking for with a candle torch did not have good eyesight, but his hearing was good, he said, there seemed to be a sound on the other side of the account cabinet, look.

A clerk who operated the knife looked at it and said that he had not found anything, and then he found something again, saying why there was a blue thread shaking in front of him. He ran over and picked up the green thread, but it was not a thread, but an upright object, and he grabbed a man, but he did not see the form of this person, and before he had time to think about it, he swung his knife and slashed at the object. The object turned out to be a person, and he shouted for mercy.

In the blink of an eye, the object embodied the form, a young man in his 20s. I saw that he was not cut by a knife and held a cloth bag, saying that it was money, and that he would return it to you as it was, and kept begging for mercy, saying, "I am wrong and should not have stolen......

Gold-rimmed glasses was extremely resentful, he picked up the cloth bag that the young man had thrown on the ground and said, "You stole it last time I lost so many coins."

Yes, I stole it, beg for forgiveness. He raised his hand as he spoke, making a gesture of surrender. But the gold-rimmed glasses ignored them, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, so he freed up a hair-sweeping knife and stabbed him straight at the ankle. He screamed, blood gurgling out, staining his pants red. Gold-rimmed glasses turned a blind eye, believing that he deserved it. He asked him what his name was and what place he was from, and he knelt down again and begged for mercy, and told him that he heard that he was Tao Qinghu, a Taoist from Wudang Mountain, and said that he would go to Wudang Mountain Taoist Temple to find the Taoist chief to comment.

At this moment, the two guards who came from there were addicted to beating people, and one of them was holding a wooden stick and slamming it towards the back of Tao Qinghu's head. The other man with a wooden stick said that he was pretending to be dead, and struck him in the chest a few times, and the men who rushed over kicked him fiercely as if they were rushing to the market to be in the limelight, and I don't know how many times he kicked him, and the gold-rimmed glasses could no longer hear his humming, so they said no, no, don't beat him to death.

And they all knew that the robber was not guilty of death, so they kept silent and did not fight again. Gold-rimmed glasses reached out to his nostrils and found that he was out of breath. A little flustered said: Why can't you fight so much? Who killed him? He knew that everyone could be counted as murderers, and everyone was about to leave, and he said, "If you don't say anything, just say that this person jumped off the building and fell to his death during the theft." At this moment, he dragged Tao Qinghu's body out of the back door and threw it under the window of the corridor diagonally facing the vegetable garden.

He immediately reported the case to the government, handed the 5,000 hanging money to the governor, and said: "Thank you, find out and notify the thief's family to go and claim it." In fact, he was worried that the government would investigate their pawnshop and its own responsibility, so he offered bribes. The chief manager of the case took someone to collect the corpse on his behalf, and asked the painter to draw his appearance and post it in the market, only half a day, a Taoist who claimed to be Wudang Mountain said that the deceased was his Taoist, and immediately burst into tears.

When he learned that the deceased Tao Qinghu was avoiding him for theft, he was extremely angry and regretted that he should not have accepted him as a Taoist disciple in the first place. Now that the invisibility suit was gone, he recalled what the master had said in his dream, and when he claimed the corpse, he silently prayed that the master would not blame him, saying that he didn't consider Tao Qinghu to do bad things like this snake and scorpion to hide from him. He informed Tao Qinghu's family to claim the corpse and deal with the aftermath, then went to the Taoist temple of Wudang Mountain, looked very lonely, and changed his name to the Taoist name of Miaoyi Zhenren to Guiyin Zhenren, and then he never went out of the mountain again, and has been devout in cultivating until a hundred years later, Yuhua ascended to heaven.

After Tao Qinghu's death, his soul remained guarded by the corpse for 24 hours. When leaving, with a gust of wind drifted to the inner hall of the wooden building hotel, and found that there was a spiritual seat there, which was set up by them, and he was full of joy, thinking that this leader was a person who was quite faithful, and he had failed him when he was alive, and he felt a little guilty when he thought about it. Tao Qinghu's soul came here to say goodbye to Feng Tou, but he saw Feng Tou sitting a few meters away from the spiritual position and eyeing a young man, without a trace of sadness and uneasiness at all. On the contrary, Kuai Yi and Hu Wei were very solemn for them, burning money paper, lighting incense and candles, and kowtowing to perform funeral etiquette. Then, Kuai Yi asked Feng Toulai over there to kowtow, saying that although Tao Qinghu did not contribute to us, he was also a member of the Lvlin family, and although what he did was shameful to the world, his courage to sacrifice himself for wealth was still worthy of our admiration. Besides, if someone else is dead, he should not be demerited. Feng Tou froze and didn't move, she said I was almost victimized by that thief, if he hadn't been killed, once he was caught, would I still be able to get out of it? I hate him at the thought of this, and it is impossible for me to prostrate before his spiritual throne now.

Feng Tou said similar things many times at first, but Kuai Yi smiled and scolded her for being ungrateful, if you want to say that Tao Qinghu has contributed to anyone, he only contributes to you, isn't it? He stole a ring and a jade bracelet for you.

Whenever he talked about this, Feng Tou didn't answer, but said secretly: That thief has not been eliminated, his lust is too heavy, and he wants to take advantage of me to give me benefits, if you are a woman, and you are also born charming and cute, can't you still charm that thief?

Feng Tou is a woman who sees the wind and rudders, in order to protect herself, that evening, waiting for Tao Qinghu near the pawnshop on West Street, she mixed among the residents and approached the door of the shop, heard the shouts inside, and also heard Tao Qinghu's cry begging for mercy, she knew that the big thing was not good, so she quickly returned to the Mulou Hotel, and reported the matter to the leader of Kuaiyi, and they rushed over, and the pawnshop door was outside its movement, at this moment, there was no sound inside. They expected that Tao Qinghu had been killed, and they still had doubts, did the invisibility suit lose its effect?

Now Feng Tou disdains Tao Qinghu's spiritual position, and he doesn't know what to say sweetly with the young man around him. Tao Qinghu's soul was very angry when he saw her so unkind, and secretly thought: Isn't Lao Tzu's martyrdom this time just for you, if you didn't say that the cost of elopement was not enough, and you instigated me to steal, would I have lost my life? So, he swore that I had to kill you, or how could I get rid of this stasis in my heart? Tao Qinghu's soul took a cold wind that blew straight into the back of her neck, and her body trembled and choked twice.

was thinking about how to take revenge on Feng Tou, but Tao Qinghu's soul was tied to his neck by an iron chain, and when he looked back, it was Bai Wuchang who stretched out his long scarlet tongue that was catching him, and he was about to break free, and another iron chain locked his left leg, and he saw that it was a hideous-looking black impermanence standing in front of him. He said angrily: "Why are you two yin here to arrest me? I have no fault with you, no grievances, no enmity, do you have nothing to do? Hei Wuchang sneered and didn't say anything, Bai Wuchang roared, what are you still arrogant? The two of us were ordered by the king of Yama to arrest you, a short-lived ghost.

Haven't I avenged my vengeance? I can say that I died unjustly, and I gave my life for Feng Tou's B-son, can you let me take revenge and then arrest me?

No, that's the end of your life. Bai Wuchang pulled the chain, and Tao Qinghu's soul went on the road with them. What a path that is! The path is dark and deep, and the wind is miserable, this is the Huangquan Road leading to the underworld. Tao Qinghu's soul trembled, and he confessed his sins to black and white impermanence. Hei Wuchang still sneered, Bai Wuchang said that everything is your own doing, you are a thief, and you are addicted to women, and you are guilty of sin, and now it is too late to repent.

Suddenly, the air on the other side of the road seemed to rise and heat up, Tao Qinghu's soul felt comfortable, but after only a few steps, he let out a miserable scream, only to see a rattlesnake slip out, first wrapped around his body, and then turned the snake's head around and bit him, and there were two curved whiskers in his nostrils, snorting poisonous gas.

Black impermanence not only did not drive away rattlesnakes, but also laughed.

Tao Qinghu's soul cried and said: Why are the ghosts and gods in the underworld so ruthless and unrighteous, and they can't be saved when they see death?

Hei Wuchang laughed again, and then said that I remember that 9 years ago, when you were 13 years old, you beat a rattlesnake to death, cut off the skin, and took out its internal organs, and plucked a snake gall to eat, which is said to be used as a medicine to brighten the eyes. Did you think about the pain of that rattlesnake at the time?

Tao Qinghu's soul was silent. Black impermanence also said, so now we don't think about your suffering, just as Bai impermanence said, it is you who suffer yourself.

Tao Qinghu's soul was bitter and weeping, remembering that one evening in the winter of the year when he was 13 years old, it was already very dark, he passed through a small village under Wulong Mountain, the southwest of the village is a pastoral, the countryside is cut by a long canal, the end of the year is the dry period, the water flow is very small, but there is a murmuring sound. Tao Qinghu sang slang songs and was courageous, running fast, and struggling to cross the small stone bridge across the ditch, he suddenly felt that his body was "studied" by something, getting heavier and heavier, he continued to sacrifice his life through the field and run, guessing whether there was a ghost haunted, so he shouted that there was a ghost, only to call out the voice, and was forced to change the tune by something, until he couldn't shout, the invisible monster had weight, but after all, he couldn't hold Tao Qinghu, Tao Qinghu continued to break the field and run, the monster just didn't let go, he also understood that there was a pond in front of the village, and the water was very deep. Before this, he had heard that he had a water evil, if the water in the ditch was deep just now, he might be pressed down by the monster and drowned, and now that he had escaped this catastrophe, why didn't the monster let him go, he considered whether the monster wanted to push him into the deep water of the pond and drown.

This idea of self-defense saved him, fortunately in the winter countryside without water, it was full of rice stubble, he broke the field and ran, the direction of the run deviated from the dangjiatang, straight to the north of the ditch well, let alone a village house in the dangjiatang run, sure enough, the monster let go of him, he felt relaxed, and he could speak, but he was already frightened to the face of the earth, after going back, he told his mother about this thrilling and terrifying encounter, and the mother was very angry when she heard it, because the monster had played tricks on the child, She stood at the gate and let go of her voice to Tao Qinghu in the open field, and cursed the monster fiercely, saying that I will sift the rapeseed to drive away evil in the place where you do evil, so that you will never exceed it, etc., and my mother said a lot of mean words, until her mood calmed down a little.

A few days later, she took Tao Qinghu to find a fortune teller to arrange the eight characters, and after the fortune teller was ugly for a while, he was surprised and said: I still don't know how he came back to life? After a moment of silence, he said that his parents must have brought him here with a good heart. Finally, the fortune teller said to his mother: "Some of your child's behaviors are too bad and need to be changed."

Tao Qinghu was a little scared when he heard this, his behavior was really bad, so he said that during his private school, every time he went home late, he had eaten the meal, and he always said that his family did not wait for him, and he always wanted to compete for the first place in eating, but he lost his temper, picked up the preheated meal in the pot with chopsticks and spoons, and threw it to the back of his head angrily. What made his family even more indignant was that he didn't care about any etiquette when he dined on the day of the treat, picked up the meat slice with chopsticks and took one or two bites, and then threw the meat skin he didn't eat or the bacon skin that he couldn't bite back into the meat bowl, making the family or guests frown. At that moment, the mother asked the fortune teller what he could do to save the child's life. The fortune teller said bluntly, don't come hard, use iron tools or something to exorcise ghosts and scare the gods, in fact, you can't be frightened, don't insult the ghosts and gods, and use reconciliation to save the child, it is best to choose a table of wine, meat and food at midnight of the day, and invite the ancestors who died to enjoy it, so that they can save the child's life, and then repent for the child. I also have to burn some paper money a hundred meters away from the small stone bridge where the child was frightened to apologize, because the child had some holiday reasons with that ghost and god in his previous life, and he should not make a mistake. After that, the child should not go near the place where the paper money was burned for 100 days, otherwise, the child will be tricked by the corresponding ghosts and gods, and his life will not be guaranteed. His mother did as the fortune teller said, and it worked slightly.

After Tao Qinghu was frightened that time, there were two symptoms: one was to sit down, or squat down for a while, and when he stood up, his eyes were dark, and he felt dizzy, and it took about a quarter of an hour to return to normal. In this regard, he went to the hospital everywhere for examination, but there was no disease; The second is to be terrified when they see the slightly deeper water, and they dare not approach the rivers, lakes and harbors or something, and when they see it, they will bypass it, especially if they dare not approach the water's edge alone.

One morning, his brother woke up and told him that he had had a strange dream last night, and that it was a rainy day, and an old man with a white beard holding an umbrella stopped him and said, "Your brother has done many bad things, and his sins should be destroyed." The elder brother asked if he could save his younger brother, and the white-bearded old man said yes, he had to kill a hundred snakes to be exempted from the death penalty. Tao Qinghu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death and wicked and timid, listened to what his brother said in his dream, believed it to be true, and ran to the grass in the wild every day to find snakes to fight. In two or three years, he killed more than 10 snakes in a row, and later heard that snakes were blind to tonic, and they also ate snake meat, so that they were so cruel that they picked snake gall bladders to eat, and probably ate four or five snake gall bladders of various types.

At this moment, Bai Wuchang looked at Tao Qinghu's soul and said, don't you worship Miaoyi Zhenren as a teacher? If you concentrate on following him to enlightenment, learn to be a good person, and attain positive results, these sufferings can be avoided and resolved. Tao Qinghu's soul asked if there was any way to save himself now, and Bai Wuchang said that it was impossible, so he could only go with his karma. Do you know that human life is rare? You have been a human being for more than 20 years, and you have had a lot of opportunities to get rid of your bad habits and really free yourself, but you have lost your good time in vain, and you have done a lot of evil, and in the end you end up with such a result, no one can save you, it is your own cause.

Tao Qinghu, who was bitten by the rattlesnake in pain, burst into tears and said to the black and white impermanence, the law in the yang world is punished by the official, and it is not appropriate to use lynching. Black and white impermanence was speechless, only pushed him forward one after another, but the rattlesnake spoke, saying that Yin Si is more lawful, I will take offense and bite you, just to remind you of this ugly soul. Then, the rattlesnake slipped away.
