Zhou Yuhuang of the Qing Dynasty was a native of Qingyan, Guizhou, very knowledgeable, and was recognized as a talented man at that time. One year, in the spring season, Zhou Yuhuang went to the Ten Buddha Temple to play, and stayed in the temple at night.

Not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a faint voice from the next room, and after listening carefully, it turned out that someone was reciting a couplet over and over again: "Ten thousand tiles, thousands of bricks, and hundreds of craftsmen have built the Ten Buddha Temple." Zhou Yuhuang became interested, so he got up and asked the monks in the temple, "Who lives next door?" The monk replied: "It is a scholar surnamed Huang, a few days ago when he came to visit the temple came up with such a sentence, but he couldn't think of the next couplet, a few days have passed, he forgot to sleep and eat, meditated, and now his life is dying!" Zhou Yuhuang asked: "Is there no one who can help him with the next couplet?" The monk replied, "There are four numbers in this couplet: 10,000, 100,000, 100,000, and 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 It is very difficult to match the next link, and many people have tried it, but no one has been able to match it yet. After returning from the monk, Zhou Yuhuang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with the next couplet. The next day, Zhou Yuhuang left the Ten Buddha Temple by boat with regret, passing a bridge on the way, the bridge was engraved with the words "Eight Immortal Bridge", this situation and this scene, so that his heart suddenly brightened, so he told the boatman to quickly turn the bow of the boat and return to the Ten Buddha Temple. Although Huang Shusheng in the temple has been bedridden for several days, he is still weak and intermittently chanting the couplet: "Ten thousand watts - thousands of bricks - made by hundreds of craftsmen - Ten Buddha Temple." Zhou Yuhuang stood outside the door and responded loudly and rhymely: "A boat, two pulps, and four people shook the Eight Immortals Bridge. When Huang Shusheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, his spirits were lifted, and he exclaimed: "Miaolian! There are also four numbers in this couplet: one, two, four, eight, in double increments, wonderful! It's wonderful!" Huang Shusheng's "heart disease" was eliminated, and after his body recovered, he walked with Zhou Yuhuang and traveled with him to enjoy the beautiful scenery! 8. Story Club Folk Tales Free Chapter 8 During the Song Dynasty, not long after Liu Zai was transferred to Taixing County, he received a complaint from a farmer. The farmer said: "A relative in a neighboring county rented my cattle, but hatefully, he stole the lease deed while my family was at a funeral. For more than ten years, I came to the door several times to ask for cattle and rent, but he did not admit it, and lied that he had sold the cattle. Therefore, please ask Lord Liu to make the decision for Xiaomin. Liu Zai asked: "Why hasn't it been solved for more than ten years?" The farmer replied: "I have complained to the government many times, but there is no deed to prove it, and because it involves neighboring counties, the government has been shelved." Liu Zai stood up, paced back and forth, and said to himself: "It's been more than ten years, how can you get it back all at once?" Gotta think of a plan. ”

Later, Liu Zai ordered two beggars to find them, and after asking them to eat and drink, he told them the reason for the incident, and explained it like this, and then put them in a prison cell.

The next day, the interrogation began. Liu Zai slapped the wood in surprise and asked loudly: "Have you two ever stolen cattle?" ”

The two beggars immediately confessed: "It was a cow that was stolen." ”

Liu Zai continued to ask, "Where did you get the cattle?" ”

The beggar replied, "Sold to a neighboring county." ”

Liu Zai asked: "Do you remember which household?" The beggar replied decisively: "Yes, yes." ”

Liu Zai instructed left and right: "Okay! Then take them to point them out. ”

When they came to the neighboring county, the two beggars went straight to the tenant's house and said, "I sold it to this one." ”

At first, the tenant did not admit it, but the beggar tried his best to insist. The tenant was anxious, went back to the house and took out the deed, and swore that "I rented the cow, and there is a deed to prove it." Everyone present laughed, and the tenants woke up like a dream, knowing that they had fallen into someone's trap. Eventually, the cattle and rent had to be returned to the tenant. Scheming is small wisdom, not great wisdom. A man who works in his heart is never a match for a man of wisdom.

In ancient times, there was a smart child named Cao Chong, and his father Cao Cao was a great official. Once, someone else gave Cao Cao an elephant. Cao Cao wanted to know how much the elephant weighed, so he asked his officials to find a way to weigh the elephant.

It's a hard thing to do!

Elephants are land animals, how do you call them? There weren't such big scales, and people didn't have that much strength to lift the elephant up.

The officials were all worried about the elephant, and no one could think of a way to weigh it.

At this time, a little child ran out, stood in front of the adult and said, "I have a way, I have a way!" When the officials saw it, it turned out to be Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong, and they didn't say anything in their mouths, thinking in their hearts: Hmph! Adults can't think of a way, what can a five or six-year-old child do! But don't look down on children, this little Cao Chong has a way. He thought of a way that even adults couldn't think of for a while.

His father said, "You can tell me quickly." Cao Chong said, "I will show you, and you will understand." ”

He had the elephant led by the hand, and followed him to the river. His father, and the other officials, wanted to see what he was called, and they followed him to the river.

There happened to be an empty boat by the river, and Cao Chong said, "Lead the elephant to the boat." The elephant got into the boat, and the boat sank a little. Cao Chong said: "Qi water on the surface of the boat to draw a mark. ”

After the marker was marked, Cao Chong asked someone to bring the elephant ashore.

At this time, the big ship was empty, and the big ship floated up a little.

Everyone watched, and one moment they led the elephant to the boat, and the next time they led the elephant off the boat, and they said to themselves, "What kind of trick is this kid playing?"

Then Cao Chong asked someone to pick up stones, load them on the big ship, pick up load after load, and the big ship slowly sank again.

"Alright, alright!" Cao Chong saw that the markings on the boat gang were on the water, so he asked someone to pick up the stones one by one.

At this time, everyone understood: the stone was loaded on the ship and the elephant was loaded on the boat, and the ship sank to the same mark, so that the stone and the elephant were of the same weight; Weigh all the stones and add them up, and you get the weight of an elephant.

Everyone said that this method seemed simple, but if Cao Chong hadn't done it for everyone to see, adults really wouldn't have figured it out.

Cao Chong is so smart!

"The lion of Cangzhou, the tower of Dingxian, the great bodhisattva of Zhengdingfu." From this widely circulated ballad, it can be seen how famous the Cangzhou lion is. It is said that a long, long time ago, Cangzhou was a land of fish and rice with beautiful scenery and fertile land. It faces the sea on one side, so from a distance, the sea is blue and the sky is blue.

Coupled with the mild climate, the people are hardworking, and the lives of every family are so good. Therefore, even birds and animals are willing to settle here.

One year, when the millet was yellow and the sticks were pale, a black wind suddenly blew on the sea, rolling the waves, roaring like a tiger howling and a wolf howling straight to Cangzhou City.

I watched the ship overturn and break, the houses collapsed, and the good crops were swallowed up by the sea.

The black wind and waves came in a hurry, and the people had no time to hide, and many people drowned. That scene was really terrible!

Why did this black wind and evil wave suddenly come so violently? It turned out to be an evil dragon stirring up monsters. It saw that Cangzhou was a good place, so it wanted to swallow this place and make it its dragon palace.

Just when the evil dragon was making monsters and harming the people of Li, the people suddenly heard a roar like a landslide and the earth cracked.

I saw a red and yellow male lion leaping up from the seashore, like an eagle catching a rabbit, swishing and rushing to the sea, straight to the dragon.

Suddenly the water column on the sea rushed to the sky, the wind was fierce, the dragon soared and the lion jumped, the lion and the evil dragon fought from the dark until dawn, the evil dragon could not parry, turned around and ran.

As he ran, he thought, "I can't occupy this place, and I can't make this place any better." So it ran and spit bitter and alkaline white foam. The lion chased after him until he reached the depths of the East China Sea, forcing the dragon to retract the sea water that had flooded Cangzhou.

The evil dragon ran away, the sea receded, and the people in Cangzhou avoided a greater disaster and were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

In order to thank the lion who eliminated harm for the people, people invited a famous blacksmith named Li Yun to lead 9981 apprentices with superb craftsmanship to use 9981 tons of steel to cast 9981 days, and finally cast this vivid and majestic iron lion in the place where the lion jumped up that year.

Although the evil dragon was not dead, as soon as it saw this iron lion, it was weak, its claws were numb, and it no longer dared to make monsters, so later people called this iron lion Zhenhai Roar.
