The middle-aged man walked out of the city gate with a snakeskin bag and went straight back to his home 10 kilometers away on the outskirts of the city, which was a row of adobe houses, with a rolling hill full of masson pines behind the house.

When the middle-aged man entered the house to sit and rest, a big yellow dog came out of nowhere, looking at the snakeskin bag and chirping, probably smelling a strange smell. The middle-aged man got up and shook out the hedgehog from the snakeskin bag, rolled it on the ground, and the big yellow dog pounced on it, and took a bite, but was stung in the mouth by its sharp thorn, so he took a step back in fear, dropped his tail and barked.

The middle-aged man found a sharp fruit knife from the house, and was about to grab the hedgehog and peel it, when he saw that it was covered in sharp thorns, he was afraid of the cone, and remembered what the seller had said, so he was careful of poisoning, so he found two thick canvas gloves and put them on, grabbed the hedgehog curled up in a ball, and pinched it hard, and it opened its body in pain, and its neck with a sharp beak like a bird's beak struggled to swing.

The middle-aged man pressed its neck, moved the knife from its lips, and cut a white mark, which soaked blood for a moment, and the hedgehog let out a miserable scream, and the middle-aged man turned a deaf ear, and continued to use the knife, drawing a split line, from the head to the chest.

The middle-aged man seemed to be an expert at playing with wild things, only to see him put down the fruit knife, grab the hedgehog skin with both hands like the placket of the split clothes, and then slash it back, and the hedgehog skin with a fishy smell was ripped off.

At this moment, the hedgehog's mournful cries and the sound of peeling were intertwined, and the middle-aged man threw his thorny fur on the ground, and then reached out to grab its bloody lump. The hedgehog was not dead, its body was still writhing, and when the middle-aged man cut open its belly, it let out another scream, stretched its limbs a few times, and then stopped moving, and stopped screaming.

The hedgehog's soul becomes a wisp of smoke in the air.

At this moment, a gray bottle flew in the air, and the mouth of the bottle snorted at it, and the wisp of tobacco was sucked in, and soon the bottle reached the hand of the god of beasts, and the lid was screwed on.

In the hall of the Wheel King, the god of beasts unscrewed the lid and shook out the tobacco in the bottle, and in the blink of an eye, the tobacco became a hedgehog, and in front of the hedgehog there were butterflies, maggots, flies, ants and other eggs and wet creatures that died, and the strange thing was that they could all talk to the Wheel King. According to their respective karma, some of them become human molds, some become fish and give fish molds, and some become jackals, tigers and leopards, and give jackals, tigers and leopards.

When it was the turn of the hedgehog, it let the king of the wheel not see it, so he retreated to the back, and let the back step forward, and there were domestic animals such as cows, horses, geese, ducks, chickens, and quails, as well as amphibian wild animals such as seals, otters, turtles, turtles, and crabs.

At this time, the god of beasts has already walked away, and when he comes to this hall, neither the ghost of man nor the ghost of the beast can run, and he can only run within a range, just like a big fish covering a fish, and the fish can only swim in the fish, but cannot swim out of the house. The hedgehog was stupid but did not understand this truth, and it still retreated, hiding in a corner of this temple, hoping to return to humanity in the next life, but it had no way, no certainty, to fulfill the wish of this beastly being.

It hid for a while, only to find that this corner was not hidden, it turned out that this corner was not a corner, it was a glass basket, it did not understand, somehow it fell into the glass basket, it wanted to be reincarnated in humanity, and saw the ghosts of many people.

To its embarrassment, a ghostly ghost of a man came to the underworld and was suffering a serious crime, and two ghost soldiers caught him, hooked his tongue covered with black sores, and pulled it out, and it was bloody, only to see a python slip over and grab it, and then devour.

The man screamed in pain, dipped his finger in blood and wrote a sentence on the ground: What law have I committed? Such a bad retribution. The two ghost pawns looked at each other and smiled, and then one of them opened a door and window, and many cows with their crooked horns against the windowsill rushed outside, including buffalo, oxen, yaks, etc., their round eyes burst out with hatred.

The man's ghost was very frightened when he saw the herd of cattle outside the window, so he asked the ghost to close the sash.

A ghost soldier asked him, "Do you understand what evil you have now?" He nodded penitentially. Immediately, scenes from the past life came to mind:

A butcher who slaughters cattle loves to eat the tongue meat of cows, every time he kills a cow, a buffalo, or a yak, he cuts off their tongue meat one by one to fry and eat, or marinates wine, over time, the butcher who kills countless cattle inadvertently, the root of his tongue hurts, and the pain is so painful that he can't eat, and he touches a small stone with his hand;

Looking at it in the mirror, the stone is still black, like the black tongue of a dead cow, the pain is like a dark fire burning, I can't help it, see a doctor, but the small cure is not good, the hospital will diagnose, through a blood test, found that the root of his tongue has skin cancer, so he underwent surgery to cut it off, but only a few days later, there is a small sore next to it, the same pain is unbearable, he can't eat, every day by the family with a teaspoon to feed him soup or gruel to drink.

He couldn't sleep, he asked his family to buy sleeping pills to take, and then he fell asleep, and vaguely saw a herd of cows rushing frantically, and one of the cows actually said to him: You guy is so vicious, you killed me that time, and before I could breathe, you cut off my tongue with a knife......

Then the herd scrambled to him and put their horns against him, and he woke up in a cold sweat, and could not sleep any longer, and the base of his tongue still ached like a dark fire.

The family asked the doctor to operate on him again, and the doctor said that the sore at the base of the tongue could no longer be cut, and the more he cut it, the more he cut it. Within a few days, the wicked butcher of the cattle had died.

When the ghost guards behind him saw him standing in a wooden place, and knew what he was recalling, he said, "That butcher is you, and now you will be tortured by hooking your tongue in the underworld, and then you will be reincarnated in the animal path, and you will become an ox, and you will be slaughtered by the cow who is dead and reincarnated as a human being, this is called retribution, how many cows you kill, how many times you will be reincarnated, until the karma of killing is exhausted."

The hedgehog in the glass basket was terrified when he saw this tragic situation, and seemed to have come to his senses and wanted to return to the ghost of the animal path to be reincarnated with fate. The thought came to mind, and strangely, the glass basket that seemed to hold it disappeared, and the hedgehog was free, and somehow soon came to the temple.

The Wheel King smiled and put a furry coat on it, and in an instant it galloped to a forest in the world of Suva, an island in New Zealand, where wild animals are abundant and active, and it wants to be reincarnated as a tiger as the king of beasts, but it must catch their estrus period before it can have a chance to be reincarnated.

In the spring of that year, two tigers, one male and one female, were intimately mating, but several ghosts dressed in tiger suits came and besieged it, and it fled.

Seeing many birds flying freely in the sky, he was very envious and planned to be born as a bird, but he found that birds also have the phenomenon of predation of the jungle, so he wanted to be reborn as a strong bird.
