The Way of Heaven (9)

In Jinling Academy, an old voice sighed: "In the upper realm, you blocked the way of the senior brother, did not stop the behavior of the Yuan Shen, but was afraid of exposing himself, and controlled the Yuan Shen to summon the green dragon; Thou shalt stop at one hundred and seven steps. ”

Thirty steps, a group of students heard this, and they panicked inexplicably. Some students complained about the night of the moxibustion: "The return is a 'king', but it turned out to be a 'white ding', and it was in vain that we looked forward to it." "Not really. Another student said, "You really shouldn't pin your hopes on this person." ”

All the Jinling students gossiped, and everything they said and talked about showed their disdain and disappointment for the night of the moxibustion. The spring god looked at the various states of this student, and couldn't help but feel disappointed, thinking that this Jinling school was no longer a holy Confucian sect. Shaking his head, he turned around and left, wanting to bring disaster to Jinling.

"You read the books of the sages in vain. ”

The young man in purple broke off his drink, and some of the students blushed and lowered their heads, while some of the students whispered in their ears, but they were not convinced. The young man in purple said: "You have been studying hard for ten years in the cold window, learning the holy way of the sages. Do you know who reads and who cultivates?" The Jinling students replied: "I read, I cultivate." The purple-clothed young man said solemnly: "Since you understand this reason, you should know that you and others are a part of Jinling, and you and others have also played a role in fueling the disaster of Jinling, not all of them are on the people outside the hospital." The night of the divine moxibustion is not a guest in Jinling, how can you completely pin the responsibility of saving people on others, when you know that saving people is your own duty, no one can replace it. The matter of my Jinling still needs to be solved by the people of Jinling. ”

The purple-clothed young man said something that left the Jinling students speechless, and they apologized to the Shenjiu Night Salute. I don't know the whole thing before and after the night of the moxibustion, and I am very puzzled by the behavior of the Jinling students. Chen Yu said: "Brother Night, the Spring God has arrived at this Jinling Academy. Shen Mo was startled at night, and hurriedly asked: "How could the spring god come to Jinling for no reason, could it be that he came to relieve the disaster?"

Chen Yu nodded and said, "The highest staircase of the Jinling Academy is the Hall of Saints, which can only be reached by true saints. If there is a saint in this Jinling, it will be a 'great good deed', and the spring god will not befall Jinling again. Unfortunately, neither you nor I are true saints. ”

When Shen Moxibustion heard it at night, he sighed: "One step is different, the world is different, my heart is leaking." "Anyway, I'm disheartened. All the Jinling students were affected by the night of moxibustion, and they were all sluggish and listless. Chen Yu's audience is so lifeless, wanting to enlighten everyone, but he has more than enough heart and not enough strength. Every time I think that the god of spring will befall Jinling, my righteousness will inexplicably drop by one point, because I accidentally planted the seeds of fear in my heart.

Besides, after the spring god left Jinling Academy, he appeared on the bank of a river pond on the outskirts of Jinling. There are several fishermen on this shore who are casting nets to catch fish, and when they go down, they all put the fish into the basket, regardless of the size of the fish, and the spring god who watched shook his head again and again. Secretly said: "These fishermen have done too much in order to earn more silver taels. If everything is done too much, fate will inevitably end early, so you don't know how to stop in moderation, no matter how many fish in this river pond, there will be an extinction day. ”

Among the fishermen, there is a man surnamed Dou, who has "bad luck" today, and catches very few fish, and most of them are small fish and seedlings, and he is ready to cast a net for the last time, but he only pulls a red carp on the net. Ben was extremely disappointed, and suddenly saw this fish with teary eyes, and felt very surprised. Thinking that this fish is extraordinary, it should be able to sell for a good price. So he put the red carp into a fish basket and wanted to take it to Jinling to sell.

When he was young, Dou fisherman took the caught fish to Jinling to sell, and many people were very surprised by this crying fish, and shouted: "This fish is spiritual, the meat is excellent, and I don't know what kind of delicious it is?" "What is two taels of silver, I will give five taels of silver." "I'll give ten taels. ”......

The crowd was clamoring to buy the fish. Suddenly, a vendor said: "Since this fish has been psychic, it cannot be eaten, so it should be released." Everyone was stunned. When the fisherman saw the merchant's words, he actually wanted to cut off his own financial route, and said angrily: "How can there be any reason to release the fish? If they are all released, you can not eat the fish, but our wealth is cut off, so how can we and our families live?" The merchant said: "In this case, I will pay twenty taels to buy you this fish." ”

When Dou Fisherman heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother, why didn't you say you wanted to buy this fish earlier?" Dou Fisherman's attitude towards the vendor instantly became much kinder, and he put the red carp in the bamboo basket and was about to give it to the vendor. A voice said: "I will pay fifty taels to buy this fish, braised it." ”

The speaker was a fat-headed, big-eared man, dressed in a yellow robe and a man's hat, and smelling of copper. Seeing this, Dou Yufu hurriedly smiled and said, "Jia Yuanwai, you came at the right time." This red carp has to be enjoyed by a 'noble' like you. With that, he gave the red carp to the Naja surname.

The vendor sighed. In a corner of the distance, the spring god who witnessed all this also sighed, "This trader is sensible, and he will get good results in the future, if he gets this red carp, the disaster of Jinling will be solved." It is a pity that human beings do things without thinking about the cause and effect, acting by feeling or blindly following them, and are blinded by the benefits in front of them. ”

When the vendor saw that the red carp was crying miserably, he begged the staff outside, "My lord, this fish is crying miserably." Can you give it to the villain and let the villain go?"

"Release?" The staff stared at the outsider, frowned, and said: "My mother loves to eat fish, today is her eightieth birthday, this fish is for her birthday, how can it be released?"

As soon as he returned home, he handed over the red carp to the official and asked him to cook a birthday banquet for his mother. Guan Bao put the fish on the cutting board and was about to cut it, but when he saw that the fish was crying, he couldn't bear to do it. Thinking that as a cook, he has killed a lot of people, and he has created a lot of karma. If this psychic fish is killed, it will be a wave of karma, so he found a fish to replace this fish, thinking that the birthday banquet would begin, and he was released without paying attention.

My grandmother's 80th birthday, although the guests are like clouds, it is a pity that there are few people who sincerely celebrate her birthday, and most of them are driven by interests. At the gate of the mansion, the servants received the gifts from the guests, and they had to make some comments, saying that this gift was expensive and this gift was shabby. The guests who came were also in groups of three or five, and they had to show their financial resources and compare. The noblewoman and lady dressed in silk and satin are dignified and beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are vicious. They speak flattering words, but they curse each other to death, and the Tao is intimate, but they secretly guard against each other. Where is this birthday banquet for the elderly, it is clearly a "fake show" conference. Guan Bao put the red carp into a jar, hid the jar in his sleeve, and went out of the house.

Not long after this official broom left the house, five feet away from the ground, five strong men suddenly appeared, wearing five-colored robes, each holding a thing. One man holds a hook and jar, one carries a leather bag and a sword, one holds a fan, one holds a hammer, and one holds a kettle. It turned out that these five people were Zhang Yuanbo, the god of spring, Liu Yuanda, the god of summer, Zhao Gongming, the god of autumn, Zhong Rengui, the god of winter, and Shi Wenye, the general of the plague.

The five gods fell to the ground and put on the mask of a fierce god. The spring god said: "Let's quickly send disaster down, there are good people in this house, if we come back, we have to avoid it." General Ganwei said: "Then what are you waiting for, immortal friends quickly follow me to cast spells." ”

Guan Bao went out of Jinling, went to the suburbs, and found a river to release the red carp. When I returned to Jinling, I saw that there were many crying people on both sides of the road, and there were many people in restaurants and tea houses making noise and fighting, and I was very puzzled. Suddenly, I saw an old man being kicked out of the house by unfilial son, and I felt very angry. Helping the old man up, he grabbed the sleeve of the unfilial child and wanted to reason, but the others said: "What are you doing too much? This old woman has been to the Yuanwaifu that has been infected with the plague, and I am afraid that she will not live long." Don't get too close to her, be careful of being infected. ”

"What are you talking about?" said the official in disbelief, "The Yuanwaifu is infected with the plague, how is it possible? As soon as the official's words fell, the expressions of the people around him suddenly became disgusted. The bystander who was talking to Guan Bao snorted, secretly said gloomily, and turned to leave. The old woman's unfilial son shouted, "You bad luck stay away from me, don't touch me." The old woman also helped the unfilial son and said, "Get out of the way, don't touch my son." ”

The women stopped crying, passers-by avoided them, and every house closed their doors and locked their windows. All of a sudden, the originally bustling streets of Jinling were instantly deserted. The five gods shook their heads in the sky, and the spring god said: "The world is terrible about the plague, but this plague is not for everyone, what is really terrible is that people have lost their hearts." ”

"Not really. Xia Shen said: "Life is impermanent, in the face of the epidemic, fame and fortune and glory and wealth are all in vain, and those who are famous all over the world can hardly resist the torture of illness." In fact, it is not others who can save oneself, but oneself. When will we understand this?"

The epidemic in Jinling is getting bigger and bigger, and the people are dying one after another, and everyone is terrified and panicked. No matter how famous and wealthy a person is, he can't buy medicine if he has money, because there is no cure for this epidemic.

This made it difficult for officials at all levels in Jinling and frightened the rich squires in Jinling. This glory, wealth, fame and fortune, is momentarily worthless in the face of the plague, where is the importance of life and health. When people saw that the person who was fine just now, they died of anger as soon as they turned around, and they were frightened and numb, and they all sighed that people were like ants, and the world was unpredictable.

When the Jinling students saw this scene, they shouted for the school to close the mountain gate. With the closure of the mountain gate of Jinling Academy, it was cut off from the outside world. However, although all the Jinling students hid in the academy all day long, the disease still stretched out to the Jinling Academy through the copper wall. Some Jinling students began to lose their physical strength, and they were groggy and dizzy all day long.

Inside and outside the school, in Jinling City, the bustling streets have long been deserted. The homeless man was so sick that he had not walked a few steps before he died, and his body was lying in the streets. At the night of the moxibustion, Chen Yu was depressed all day long, secretly weeping, looking for a way to drive away the plague.

On this day, after the two of them bathed and changed their clothes, Chen Yu was alone in the quiet room, repented and pondered, and with piety and respect, he gave Sanqing a three-pillar fragrance, and pleaded: "Master Zu, the people of Jinling are so miserable that even the school has been invaded by illness. Have mercy, have mercy on all beings, and save them. ”

Chen Yu said and kowtowed to Sanqing three times. When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly dropped a bag from his sleeve. When Chen Yu saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the bag and took out a bag from the bag, only to see that there were five words on the bag, which read "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions - Virtue".
