Liujiazhuang at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in southern Xinjiang, China, there is a big family, the name of the head is Liu Xinpeng, when he was young, he went south and north to do the medicinal material business, he was honest, shrewd and capable, and he was very credible, so the business was booming, the family was rich, and he was so rich. When he was older, he returned to his hometown, and he was rich and rich, renovated his former residence, purchased acres of land, and there were as many as 5,000 acres of rice fields and corn fields alone, and there were many fields, so he hired more than 350 long-term workers, and the square garden was 100 miles, second to none, unprecedented, and I have to admit that he was indeed a famous local famous and authentic, rich and rich man, which made people envious, jealous and hateful.

It is said that the rich man Liu Xinpeng's life is still very good, he has a very good character, he is kind and kind, and treats the long-term workers and slaves at home, and is not like the general landlord and old rich man who is stingy and mean, and does some things that oppress, exploit and exploit the people, but is distributed according to work, and the remuneration is quite rich, and he also spent a lot of money to invite a famous local chef Zhang Baomin to come to his house to cook for the long-term workers and slaves.

Speaking of the chef Zhang Baomin's cooking skills, the local Hao Hao is famous, that superb is really nothing to say, the cooking technology is absolutely first-class, his meals are all dizzy and vegetarian with moderate matching, both delicious and beautiful, which makes people appetite great.

Chef Zhang often changed his tricks to make the long-term workers and servants in Liu's mansion well-fed and well-fed, so as to stimulate motivation and let them work hard for the owner. Many people from other places who come here to make a living are willing to go to Liu's mansion to work as long-term workers or slaves.

No morning sun lasts a whole day.

Since a certain year, a strange and strange thing suddenly happened in the home of the wealthy man Liu Xinpeng. Whenever the ears of rice planted by his family and the corn cobs just grow, hail will inevitably fall, which will smash the rice fields and corn fields, causing a large-scale reduction in the yield of rice and corn.

At the beginning, Liu Xinpeng, the rich man, didn't care too much, and thought: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, who hasn't suffered a natural disaster or something." ”

However, in the second and third years, the ears of rice in the paddy fields and the cobs in the corn fields had just been formed, and the hail smashed them.

Liu Xinpeng's rich man was in a very depressed mood: "It's so strange! Could it be that my family has collided with some god who has committed evil?"

In the fourth year, Liu Xinpeng, the rich man, came to his field alone, and he looked at the ears of rice that had just been pulled out and the corn cobs that had been produced, and said: "Rice, corn, is it because my old Liu family has committed something? I have been punished by God? I just hope that this kind of thing will not happen again this year." ”

Who knows, as soon as he finished saying this, the sky that was clear just now suddenly became cloudy, and hail the size of an egg flew from the sky. In an instant, the rich man Liu was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, and he hurriedly hid under a big rock with his head in his hands.

Seeing the rice and corn planted by his family being smashed by hail, Liu was both frightened and heartbroken. After the hail, he limped back home, sighing incessantly.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

After hearing about this strange thing, people in several nearby villages said that Liu Xinpeng, a rich man, was a hypocritical gentleman, and when he was doing business in the past, he must have done something unseemly to anger the gods and punish him.

There are also all kinds of evil rumors spreading, some people still say that Liu Xinpeng is a murderous demon, and his hands are covered with blood; some people make up that he saw Liu Xinpeng's son Liu Kai once rape and kill a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl who passed by their village in his cornfield, and Hao, the unjust soul of the girl who was killed, cursed his family's rice and corn, with the purpose of starving their family to revenge...... Hearing these unprovoked, fabricated, and messy gossip, Liu Xinpeng, a rich man, was so angry that he died, but there was no way to stop it, and he sighed all day long, frowning bitterly.

On this morning, Liu Xinpeng, who was in an unhappy mood, was reprimanding his eldest son Liu Kai, who only knew that he was idle and unscrupulous, in the hall, and suddenly heard someone chanting loudly at the gate of the house: "Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, if you want to drive away the disaster, please invite me into the mansion!"

When he heard this, he was surprised, and hurriedly stopped teaching his son, and walked out of the mansion in a hurry, only an old Taoist priest (Tong Qing Huahua) with Buddha dust in his hand, floating dust, fairy wind bones, and crane hair and childish face was walking around the front and back of his yard, shaking his head from time to time.

Rushed to the doctor, Liu Xinpeng, a wealthy man, felt that this old Taoist priest (Tong Qing) had an extraordinary appearance, and it seemed that he could help his family solve this big problem.

So, he said: "The Taoist chief is invited, since you have come to the door, why don't you go into the house and drink a cup of tea!"

"I'm bothered, Poor Dao is indeed thirsty, it's better to be respectful than to obey, please!"

"Dao Chief, please!"

Liu Xinpeng invited the old Taoist priest who Tong Qing had transformed into his mansion, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to pour tea for the old Taoist priest (Tong Qing).

The old Taoist priest (Tong Qing) smiled and nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Liu Yuanwai, Poor Dao passed by your house just now and found that your yard was shrouded in a yin aura. ”

When Liu Xinpeng heard this, he felt that the old Taoist priest who had been transformed by Tong Qing was straight to the point, and he must be a master, so he told him that his field had been hit by hail for several years in a row and that there was no harvest.

The old Taoist priest of Tongqing smiled and said: "Liu Yuanwai, this year, your family's field has been damaged, rice and corn have been harvested, I'm afraid I can't find the reason, wait for next year, the poor road will come over, when the time comes, just follow the instructions of the poor road, that is, it's okay, the poor road still has something, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave!"

Old lady Liu nodded hurriedly, and respectfully sent the old Taoist priest who had been transformed by Tong Qing out of the mansion.

........................

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and the old Taoist priest who had been transformed by Tongqing arrived as promised. He instructed all the long-term workers and servants in Liu's mansion to prepare the weapons they had at their disposal, such as shovels, iron climbers, pickaxes, axes, and clubs...... Wait, wait, wait, the old Taoist priest who was transformed by Tong Qing said that he was going to take everyone to the field to catch demons.

A mighty group of people walked through the village, chattering about going to catch demons, which alarmed all the villagers, and they all put down their work to follow to see the excitement, and the team of monster hunting grew rapidly.

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon came to the rice gate soil and corn field of Liu's mansion. The old Taoist priest who transformed into Tong Qing silenced everyone, and then he closed his eyes, opened his perspective eye, and said something in his mouth, suddenly he opened his eyes, pointed to a corner on the west side of the cornfield and said: "The monster is hidden there, everyone act quickly, surround this cornfield! Then I will cast a spell and force the monster out!"

After hearing the order of the old Taoist priest of Tongqing's transformation, more than 350 long-term workers and subordinates in Liu's mansion hurriedly surrounded this cornfield, and many curious villagers also joined in.

The old Taoist priest who had transformed into Tong Qing made an enchantment, and with a finger of his hand, it was as fast as lightning. Everyone looked closely, and found that a strange old man with white hair and sharp beaked monkey cheeks came out of a corner in the west, and he was on all fours, like a toad sitting, shirtless, and his back was full of large bags.

The old Taoist priest who transformed into Tong Qing reprimanded angrily: "Bold demon, harm people, people and gods are angry, today is your death, all of you listen, I have fixed this monster, don't be afraid, go up together to eradicate this demon." ”

In the past few years, the rice and corn they have sown with hard work have all been harmed, and Liu Xinpeng, the wealthy owner, has also begun to be stretched, and he has no choice but to dismiss the famous chef Zhang Baomin, who is cooked by an ordinary maid kitchen, with a large number of people, too busy, and making a mess of everyone's life, Let's take a look again, where is the corpse of that strange old man, what they fought to kill was clearly a toad as big as a man!

After getting rid of this toad essence, the group returned to Liu's mansion.

Liu Xinpeng, a wealthy man who was elated and excited, specially came to the door and invited Zhang Baomin, the famous chef who was dismissed by him in desperation.

Celebrity chef Zhang Baomin came to Liu's Mansion, quickly prepared the ingredients, and made a table of vegetarian food with all the colors and flavors, and thanked the old Taoist priest who was transformed by Tong Qing for helping to get rid of the demon.

During the banquet, Liu Xinpeng, the rich man, was full of mysteries, and asked puzzledly: "Dao Chief, can you tell me, why did this toad spirit find my family to cause trouble?"

The old Taoist priest who transformed Tongqing said: "Liu Yuanwai, you don't know anything! Actually, this toad essence, it has a great background, after Pangu opened the world, he used to be a Zhentian divine beast in the upper realm, and later, demons, witches, people, and demons fought in all directions, it was attacked by the magic illusion, the will was not strong, the thinking was complicated, unfortunately fell into the devil's way, it was difficult to save itself, and began to fight for the tiger, and the scourge opened the human world.

In ancient times, Zhurong public war, after the public defeat, ashamed, angry to touch the mountain, the pillar of heaven broken, resulting in the flow of the Tianhe River into the world, flooding, Yu was ordered to control the water, he had blocked the flood during the day, and this has become a demon toad spirit at night but spit out a stomach of bad water, unscrupulously broke the embankment again, harming the lives of the people in the mortal world. Dayu was angry, asked Nuwa Niangniang to go down to help, the two worked together, front and back, and it took a lot of effort to force it back with the Demon Sword at the last critical moment, and took advantage of the mechanism to subdue, and was later killed by Dayu. This is the beautiful story of Nuwa Niangniang refining stones to make up the sky and Dayu controlling the water to save the Li people. Liu Yuanwai, where your family's rice fields and corn fields are located, is a gap when Dayu controlled the water, and the place where the toad essence was killed by Dayu is here, therefore, after its death, the ghost will not disperse, and there is no way to ask for revenge from Dayu and Nuwa, so all the grievances are sprinkled on you. ”

"I see!" Liu Xinpeng, the rich man, suddenly realized, and his mouth suddenly opened.

The old Taoist priest who had transformed into Tong Qing said again: " Although the toad essence is just a wisp of grievance at the moment, it can not be easily offended, otherwise, after it will be reincarnated in the future, it will also make waves, vent anger and revenge, I hope Liu Yuanwai will keep in mind, in the future, at this time of year, set up an altar to worship it, super it reincarnated for the benefit of the world, take out more gold and silver, charity to help the poor, Liu Yuanwai, as long as you have enough righteousness, it will definitely not invade all evils, in the future, after you pass away in a hundred years, you will also end up with a good end, a hundred generations, immortal。 ”

After Liu Xinpeng heard it, he completely followed the old Taoist priest who was transformed by Tongqing, and set up an altar every year to worship the soul of the toad, and overtake it to reincarnate as soon as possible, let go of hatred, benefit the world, and like to help the poor people, be kind and charitable, and in the end, he set an example, take the lead and set an example, there are many children and grandchildren, the family is harmonious, kind to others, and good karma, and the family business is more and more prosperous.
