Chapter 501: Miaoya Qiya (28)
After Chang Xiaoxiao's death, some kind-hearted women also called themselves witches, following her example, not only cutting paper people and horses for the sick, but also "passing the yin" for those who wanted to know the living conditions of their ancestors in the underworld.
Although the aura of impermanence and laughter can also strengthen the patient's belief in overcoming the disease, and comfort the emotions of his family and grandchildren.
Many patients who were waiting to die saw that the witch had burned a substitute for themselves, and immediately opened their mouths to eat, and immediately felt that they were mild and were inspired by the belief that "they could not die", and many of them were really brought back to life.
As a result, many people do not want to believe it as false, preferring to believe it as true.
They don't want money, they just want others to recognize them as the embodiment of laughter; He does not seek fame, but only gives the patient some kind of comfort.
As time went by, although the "witches" who only wanted to heal people were gradually replaced by witches who cheated people out of money, there were still people who accepted invitations. The custom of burning paper for the sick has also been passed down to this day. Later, it developed into a house that burned paper clothes, paper pants, and paper tie for deceased relatives.
Besides, Guanyin Niangniang has indeed relaxed for some time since she has helpers such as Chang Xiaoxiao, Giving Birth to Niangniang, and Chenghuang Land.
With the blessing of Guanyin Niangniang, the common people are living more and more prosperous day by day. But for some reason, it didn't take long for the number of people pursuing her to increase day by day.
first begged for food and clothing, then begged for a house and a wife, then begged for officials and wealth, and even begged for emperors and immortals.
On the day of Guanyin Niangniang's birthday on February 19 last year, Wu Nanman, the emperor of the infinite country, came to Chaoyin Cave and begged Guanyin Niangniang bitterly, saying that he was bored all day long, and begged Guanyin Niangniang to send a fairy to play chess with him.
Guanyin Niangniang said, "You have a large number of talents in the infinite country, there are many chess masters, you are the monarch of the country, you are a hundred responses, and you are afraid that there is no game?"
Wu Nanman said: "All the national players of the Infinite Country have played with him, but none of them are his opponents. Whether they dare not win or whether they really can't do it, no one can say. If there is a god who plays chess with him, he is willing to die even if he only plays one game. "
Guanyin Niangniang is a glutinous rice made of glutinous rice, she saw that the Infinite King said strange and pitiful, and it coincided with her birthday, so she agreed to let Lu Dongbin play chess with him for a day.
But the Martial Immortal King only played chess for half a day, and he pestered Lu Dongbin to take him to the sky.
Lu Dongbin refused, and he said that he would be blind to death if he looked at it.
As a result, as soon as he went up to the Nantian Gate, he was worshiped by the Lei Gong boy
After the golden boy and the jade girl were ordered to go down to earth, they went straight to the Chaoyin Cave of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, and Guanyin Niangniang personally came out of the hole to greet them.
After the jade girl saw Guanyin, she first said "ten thousand blessings", and then "pounced" and knelt on the ground to make a big salute to the master and servant.
The golden boy did not move at all with his hands on his waist.
The golden boy was the red boy of the year, who was surrendered by Guanyin because he wanted to eat Tang monk meat.
Guanyin saw through his mind as soon as he opened his eyes, and said humorously: "The good wealth boy is really rich, and he can't even kneel when he sees his master." Putting aside the master-servant relationship for the time being, it's not too much to be worshiped by you just because of my age!" The golden boy raised his head and laughed three times and then said, "You want me to worship you?" I want you to worship me! What are you capable of? Isn't it just to persuade people to do good? If I had been born a few years earlier, perhaps I would have been a master and a servant!"
Guanyin Niangniang knew that the golden boy was not joking, but was not convinced from the bottom of her heart. It seems that he is still haunted by Guanyin Niangniang's submission to himself.
In order to convince the golden boy, he said: "It is not too late, as long as you have the heart to persuade people to do good deeds and are determined to benefit all sentient beings, I am willing to rebel against the Lord and become a servant." But before you do, you've got to do something decent, right?"
The golden boy said: "That's not easy, there is a country in the east that loves the young, and their customs are very peculiar, they only love the young and don't respect the old." After death, instead of coffins to collect human soil, the corpses are hung on trees, or thrown into the mountains and forests for crows, wild dogs or other wild beasts to eat at will, which is also called 'heavenly burial'. What's more, when the elderly reach the age of 60, their children and grandchildren kill them for meat, or lock them in cellars and starve to death, and then carry them out for 'heavenly burial'. If the Bodhisattva is willing, I want to make a bet with you. "
Guanyin Niangniang said, "I don't know how to gamble?"
"You and I will go to the country of love and reincarnation together, and persuade them to change the heavenly burial to the ground burial, and change the old man to eat the old and the hungry old to respect the old man. Bodhisattva, you first do it, I worship you as the Lord, and I do it first, boy, and you worship me as the Lord. ”
Guanyin Niangniang thought this idea was good, so she made up her mind.
The golden boy was eager to win, and came to the country of Child-Friendly that night, wanting to find the most suitable person to reincarnate.
After choosing and choosing, he finally arrived at the poorest family in a remote mountain village and became the third son of an old couple.
He felt that money was a magic weapon to teach people to do good, and the reason why they wanted to starve people over 60 years old to death or kill them to eat meat was because they were so poor that they had nothing to eat, could not afford to support the elderly, and had no money to buy coffins.
And their greatest skill is to be able to turn stones into gold, as long as they have money, they will definitely change this bad habit.
After the birth of the golden boy, his father's surname was Bai, and this village was also called Baijiazhuang. He has two older brothers named Bai Lao Da and Bai Lao Er, and his name is Bai Lao San.
Although Baijiazhuang is remote, it is not the poorest, and the local people are accustomed to believing that the most difficult life is Poor Jiawan, followed by Baijiazhuang, so there is still a saying of "one poor and two white".
The golden boy regretted this incident, regretted that he was in too much of a hurry, and recklessly reincarnated without clarifying the situation.
Just because he didn't regret selling the medicine, he thought he was unlucky, not to mention that it was too late to reincarnate.
Fortunately, the family he reincarnated in was so poor that the rats didn't dare to make a nest, the whole family shared a pair of pants, the children didn't hang an inch, and the adults took turns to go out to work.
Golden Boy feels that only in such a family can he be regarded as a hero.
Money is a good thing. Boss Bai was the poorest, and he was divided again, and people called him "Bai Da Yuan";
Although Bai Lao Er is not rich, he has not been separated from his younger brother, and people call him "Second Uncle";
Although Bai Laosan is the youngest, he is only respected as "Bai Sanye" because he can turn stones into gold.
From "big and young" to "three masters", this kind of age from big to small, the title is added layer by layer, although it is "reversed", but it fully reflects the power of money.
In addition to giving others some financial support often and appropriately, the golden boy publicly announced that no matter who died, all the expenses of those who carried out burial would be covered by his "Bai Sanye", and that those who continued to support their parents over the age of 60 would have all the money needed in the name of "Bai Sanye".
Three days later, when the golden boy returned from giving money to the poor family, he found twenty old men and twenty old women sitting in front of his house.
After the golden boy came back, they knelt in a large row "plop, plop": "Ask Bai Sanye to do well!"
The golden boy suddenly became a monk who turned into a fate - inexplicably (temple).
They were all driven out by their daughters-in-law, and the reasons were almost the same: "Third Master Bai is willing to support you, so you can go to the Bai family!"
The golden boy said very strangely: "It is only right that you raise their young, and they raise your old." What's more, I, Bai Sanye, also promised to pay. Even if you don't give a penny, this old and young love can't be refuted and can't be taken away!"
"Bai Sanye doesn't know. Love the young, do not respect the old, this is the old rule formed for thousands of years, if you want to change, I am afraid that you have to wait for the third and fourth generations. "
"Didn't you say that the old man was a treasure! Why don't they provide for you if I give you money?"
As soon as the golden fairy tale sounded, the old man kneeling in front said tremblingly: "The national anthem of our love for young countries is called "It is difficult to support the elderly, it is difficult to support the old". And he began to sing.
When the other old men heard him sing, they all sang along with tears in their eyes:
It is difficult to raise the old, it is difficult to provide for the elderly, and people are average when they are old.
It is difficult to speak with others when he is deaf, and he is disgusted by all kinds of nonsense.
His eyes were watery, his nose was not dry, and his chest was like pus.
The guests are afraid of the guests before the table. No one touches the rice bowl and tea cup.
Relatives and friends are annoyed, and children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law are all suspicious.
It is difficult to support the elderly, it is difficult to provide for the elderly, and the children and grandchildren are suffering.
Die quickly after the year, and how many years can you live if you stay?
